His horse, _by some meuns, while joggiug along, As he weat down he capsized the vehicle and threw the driver with such force to the ground that oxe of his legs was broken. Being possessed of a good deal of nerve the old man righted} himself, ‘and notwichstanding his wounded member, he got the horse up, raised up the sulky and drove into town to secure the services of surgeon. He made application to all the physicians here, but found and he will be compelled to send to Philadelphia to have the wounded member properly set. 'P, 8. It was his wooden leg. oe Mining Affairs. Correspondents for the San Francisco papers, in this county, are get: ting to be very thick. We notice two articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, one inthe Alla, and one in the Stock Report. The latter has commenced to publish a series of articles.in regard to our mining interests, article No. 1 appeating in its issue of Monday. With the aid of our local papers and the articles by correspondents, more attention than ever will be directed to this section. Almost every article published in the TRanscgrrr, in relation to our mines, is copied by all the leading papers at the Bay, which shows there isa deep interest in our mining affairs ‘at that place. 2 oe Canivornia Correr.—The value ofthe copper interests of this coast is known to very few in the community, yet in looking over the country we find that neurly every county ip California and-Nevada has more or less veins of copper. The mines and ores are bere in abundance but the question is what to do with the ore, New mines of this metal are discovered nearly every day, but as a general thing nothing is done with them,* a8 we have no fucilities here for reducing the ores and have to be content with shipping them all away. These _ shipments awillpo doubt continue as long as. aise fois tap tor deli aa ach . give @ fair price for the ore, or ‘prvoticalmen with: ‘experience. and ee rest hold of the copper smel.* Fy none that could repair the damage, { take the position of contestants. the withdrawal of troops from the State House, and the last vestige of the Packard Government will disappear without violence or excitement.

Fire at Grass Valley. ~ Monday night at about 8 o’clock, an alarm ef fire’ was sounded. It seon appeared that the house-owned. by Mr, Philip Radcliff, on Milly, street, next to Taylor’s foundry, was on fire. T. for several days and ‘it is supposed the fire was the work of an incendiary. Some of the neighbors and Mr. Radcliff succeeded in subduing the flames before the Firemen, who place. It was reported to the Firemen that everything was all right, and so they went back to their quarters, At about 12 o’clock, same night, the fire broke out again and consumed the building. The Firemen did their best 'to subdue the second fire, but did not have a sufficient length of hose for effectual work, The second fire might have caught from thesmouldering embers of the first, and we think that it is quite probable. The first was un'doubtedly kindled by a wilful incendiary or by some tramp who was get{ ting bis night’s lodging in the house. The lossis about one thousand -dollars, and the insurance on the building is only five hundred.— Union, a THE annexed i ig from the Stanis: laus News of Friday: Duritig the forepart of the present week our valley has been cursed by high, blighting worthwest winds, It looks at present as if we were to be robbed of every hope of a crop the present season.

Perhaps, if there is no great trouble in organizing the “House, matters may go on smoothly; the present sit. uation of Southern affairs be accept. ed, and a short session be the result. The country will look to the meeting of the extra session with deep interest. , Sad Accident, Yesterday morning our old friend, G. 8.8. Getchel, former Marsbal of this city, was riding in a sulky on the Grass Valley road. His horse, _by some meuns, while joggiug along, As he weat down he capsized the vehicle and threw the driver with such force to the ground that oxe of his legs was broken. Being possessed of a good deal of nerve the old man righted} himself, ‘and notwichstanding his wounded member, he got the horse up, raised up the sulky and drove into town to secure the services of surgeon. He made application to all the physicians here, but found and he will be compelled to send to Philadelphia to have the wounded member properly set. 'P, 8. It was his wooden leg. oe Mining Affairs. Correspondents for the San Francisco papers, in this county, are get: ting to be very thick. We notice two articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, one inthe Alla, and one in the Stock Report. The latter has commenced to publish a series of articles.in regard to our mining interests, article No. 1 appeating in its issue of Monday. With the aid of our local papers and the articles by correspondents, more attention than ever will be directed to this section. Almost every article published in the TRanscgrrr, in relation to our mines, is copied by all the leading papers at the Bay, which shows there isa deep interest in our mining affairs ‘at that place. 2 oe Canivornia Correr.—The value ofthe copper interests of this coast is known to very few in the community, yet in looking over the country we find that neurly every county ip California and-Nevada has more or less veins of copper. The mines and ores are bere in abundance but the question is what to do with the ore, New mines of this metal are discovered nearly every day, but as a general thing nothing is done with them,* a8 we have no fucilities here for reducing the ores and have to be content with shipping them all away. These _ shipments awillpo doubt continue as long as. aise fois tap tor deli aa ach . give @ fair price for the ore, or ‘prvoticalmen with: ‘experience. and ee rest hold of the copper smel.* Fy none that could repair the damage, { take the position of contestants. the withdrawal of troops from the State House, and the last vestige of the Packard Government will disappear without violence or excitement.

Fire at Grass Valley. ~ Monday night at about 8 o’clock, an alarm ef fire’ was sounded. It seon appeared that the house-owned. by Mr, Philip Radcliff, on Milly, street, next to Taylor’s foundry, was on fire. T. for several days and ‘it is supposed the fire was the work of an incendiary. Some of the neighbors and Mr. Radcliff succeeded in subduing the flames before the Firemen, who place. It was reported to the Firemen that everything was all right, and so they went back to their quarters, At about 12 o’clock, same night, the fire broke out again and consumed the building. The Firemen did their best 'to subdue the second fire, but did not have a sufficient length of hose for effectual work, The second fire might have caught from thesmouldering embers of the first, and we think that it is quite probable. The first was un'doubtedly kindled by a wilful incendiary or by some tramp who was get{ ting bis night’s lodging in the house. The lossis about one thousand -dollars, and the insurance on the building is only five hundred.— Union, a THE annexed i ig from the Stanis: laus News of Friday: Duritig the forepart of the present week our valley has been cursed by high, blighting worthwest winds, It looks at present as if we were to be robbed of every hope of a crop the present season.
