In fact, here, as in Home, brick, which is thought by sojio to be a poor thin for buildings, app-jara to have b(n a favorite material with the aneieuts. They not only made good bricks, but, in laying them, good mortar was used, ana they had no fear that a buildin; insec:or would condemn their work. 7 he remains of the theatre.'", n iw exposed to view, show that the present ones, bare not changed much from those of Pompeii, particularly ia Europe, where the close boxes, with en trances frota low ceilins avenu. a, predomi nate. In fact, most of the theatres ou this side of the sea are built to keip out the air anu make people as uncomfortable as pos sible, aud, I suppose, the theaTcs of Pom peii could not have been worse.

Thia beautiful lake, situated aNiut ten miles southeast of Ma'umoth City, Nevaila, is so called from being the scene of a bat tle between a party of citizens of Mono County and the convicts who escaped froTU the Nevada State Prison in the winter of lt72-u. An Indian having found their whereabouts, informed some citizens of ilenton. They formed a posse, headed by Mr. Morrison, a merchant 01 that plwe, and, piloted bv the Indian, came Usu the party of convicts about one-half nule below the outlet of the lake, and a tight ensued. The escaped convicts were well armed with Henry and Winchester riuVs. and had chosen a good retreat where they could not etsily be surprised or sunour.de;). A desperate fight ensued, in whicii Morrison and the Indian guide erc killed. Only a portion of the convicts were tngagnl, the others be ins UP at 'be lake gathering rosebuds, about the only food they had oa which to subsist, there bein? no cattle iu Long Valley at that season. 1 hey were in a starving condition. There hail been ill feeling between Charley Jones and one of his companions, and while the party beiow were fighting, or about that time, a dispute arose tetweer Jones and the other man. Jones U?y face down wird to take a drink of water, when this o'.iier fellow struck him in the back of the I htad ur neek with a large stone, killing him instantly. After the killing of Morrison and his horse, and the Indian, the fr-ntou party retreated. This story, as told by the convicts, has iieen disputed and douMeiL. Jones was well acquainted in O vons IJ.ver Valley, anil many though: that taoue:h as sistance he escaped. Thrir next attempt, after linding they could not cross the mount ains at the head of Convict Lake, was to cross at the head of Mctiee's Creik. Not being successful in crossing there they went down into Iteund Valley and gave them selves up to the citizens. Two of the party were hoag. and the remainder sent back to Nevada. Charley Jones was missing. Alwut wo and a half years ago, shortly af ter the discovery of this district, a party of prospectors left Lake Convict to explore that portion of the country, and oa the northern shore found a portion of a man's arm bone with a piece of thf collar hone at- i tsched. which they bmu.-ht in with them to r53 Diablo, and there nr; it to Mr. Gill.
