Fy. aE Nae -visions-of the iaw regulating ‘salaries: and fixing compensation of county officers, which goes into effect at the bea? term for which officers erally understood, we have © ‘endeavored te select from the somewhat mixed law. the aaa canara in Nevada, county. ‘helipervicom will receive . ive dol. jars per day and twenty cents .per mile . for traveling from their residence to the Court House, but such per ‘diem must net exceed in the aggregate, to 06. Out of this he is to pay s, and no pay can be allowed he has filed with the Board of Supervisors a statement under oath of the number of days necessarily spent by himself and deputies in discharge of their official duties. The salary of Caney Superintendent of Schools is to be fixed by the Board of Supervisors, which cannot be less than $20 for each District. In addition to salary he is to be allowed traveling _expenses, and for postage and express~ "age fifty cents for each District. ~ _ above salary as compensation. For the } Valley SS ena The District Attorney is allowed a salary of $500 per year, and greatly reduced fees as follows: Conviction of capital crime $25, other felony $12, conviction of misdemeanor $8, eight per cent. on bonds; convictions under the anti-gambling act, $50; and 10 per cent. — -and 15 per cent. after judgment in collection of taxes. If the salary and fees exceed $2,000 in any one year, the surplus must be paid over to the county. The salary of County Judge is fixed at $2,000per annum, but as this provision is in conflict with the constitu. tion, preventing the increase or decrease of salaries of judicial officers during their term, it will fiot take effect until another Coanty Judge is elected and qualified. The Sheriff is allowed. mileage,which is in all cases retained for his own use and benefit. In this county he is allowed fees and commissions to the amount of $4,000, ia full for services of himself and deputies. The County Treasurer's salary is fixed at $1,500,and he is made ex-officio Tax Collector, but is only allowed the collection of taxes it is made the duty of the Treasurer to visit every township one day ineach year to receive taxes, and to give ten days notice of his come ing by advertisement and by posting three handbills in each township.— Who wants to be Treasurer ? .

MINING ON THE RIDeE.—The Grass Valley Union contains letter in relation to mining on the Ridge,from which we condense the following: The North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company will soon extend their ditch to Big Canon Creek, when they expect to secure a continuous supply of water during the Summer, In their claims eight pipes are kopt at work day and night. The Public School Exhibition at Bloomfield is to be repeated in a: short time. Several companies at Relief Hill are obtaining first rate pay, and the claims worked by the Eureka Lake Company are yielding handsomely, At Eureka mining prospects are encouraging. The Erie Company has suspended work on account of water in the shaft, and propose putting in a larger pump. The Birchville mill is running and paying well from rock of this mine. Black & Young are crushing Bareberry & Stacy rock, which has = well from the first run. The Norfolk Shaft Company is going to put up heavier machinery to clear their mine. Graniteville has two hotels, five saloons, two stores and a working population, The Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company have purchased Bowman’s ranch, and propose to erect adam in the vieinity this Summer. Rich Dieaines.—A new and very rich discovery has been made on Scadden Fiat, which reminds one of the palmy days of “the Fall of ’49 and Spring of 50.” A ledge of decomposed quartz has been found, says the Grass ational, which in the forcible ‘hynguage of our informant, Thomas Stadden, “is perfectly lousy with gold.” The ledge is from four to eight inches in width, The dirt around the rock prospects from 50 cents to $1 50 to the pan. Many a thousand dollars have been taken from Scadden Flat in past years, but there is more there yet. We congratulate the Scadden brothers on their good luck.John Rayuolds was injured ; reka mine this mornin Says the National of. Tuesday rock : falling on him. His and shoulders were bruised, : it is_possible that he may be injtred internally, in the right lung, Lalthough Dr. Simpson who was called toattend him, thinks that his injuries are not ners and that he will recover, Ricn Rocx.—We are informed by John S. Lambert, Secretary of the company, that inthe North Star mine very rich. rock was struck on Tuesday, says. the National, in the sixth level, west The ledge is two anda half feet thick, and is very rich in free gold; galena, and sulpharets. Over $1,000 was taken out in one day in specimen rock, The ore comes from what. is known as p the Ednionton ground. WHEN a man has feathered his nest, a will generally find that he plumes imself upon it.

The Central} Pacifi¢ company contemplate a branch complete the Western Pacific, from Sac ramento to Oakland, and will want a multitude of hands in their water front improvements at Oakland, if, indeed, they do not extend the Marysville road northward.VELOCIPEDE ‘TRAVELING.—The Ore‘gonian says: We understand there is a bet of $1,000 pending on the result of Mr. Fred. Currier’s trip to California on a velocipede—one of the parties to the wager claiming that it is impossible to cross Scott Mountain with a velocipede on account of the steepness of the grade. The party thinks it can be done, and, what is more, backs the opinion with the coin, We await the result with some interest, as it will in a measure, demonstrate to what extent the velocipede can be used asa practical means -of locomotion. : eeetnatl THe James River and Kanawha Canal for which.Congressional aid is asked, promises, according toa Virginia editor, ‘*to do more for the future of the United States than any other wok of —_ t the Pacific Railroad.” Two red miles of the canal are finished an half the entire distance. When completed it will form the highway for the transportation of ten times as much bulky Western freight to the Atlantic as now reaches: the ocean, via the New York and Erie Canal. Hundreds of navigable Western: rivers will pour their freight into it at all seasons of the year. The State of Virginia being unable to finish the canal, proposes to give the entire work, half constructed, to any company that will complete it. ’Tis wondrous strange how great the change since 1 was in my teens; then I had beaux and billet-deaux, and joined the gayest scenes. But lovers now have ceased to vow; no way they now contrive, to poison, drown or hang them. selves—because I’m thirty-five. Once, if the night was ever so bright, I ne'er abroad could roam,without—“the bliss, the honor, miss, ‘of seoing “you sufe home.” But. now I go, through rain and snow, fatigued and scarce alive, through all the dark, without a spark, because I’m thirty-five. “Irisa stasiiing rale in my church, said one pred." Syose % another, “for a sexton to wake up any man that he sees asleep.” “I think,” replied the other, “that it would be better for the sexton, whenever a man goes to sleep under your preaching, to wake you up.
