The farmer who sows his grain and the

his gravel pan out well, or who strikes
a'‘lead of quartz giving every evidence

Grass VALLEY [TeEMs.—We clip the
following from the National: Seventy
_ tons of rock from the old dump pile of
the Allison Ranch mine,recent] y worked
in the mill, yielded $700.The new shaft of the Hope Gravel
mine on Alta Hill, has been sunk 140
feet, and will strike the lead at a depth
of 90 feet more. Men are now at work
putting up the pumping machinery, all
of. whieh is'on the ground. Théfe will
be two Ilinch pumps. driven by an
engine of 12-inch cylinder, with a 14fot fly wheel. It is expeeted that the
lead will be struck, all the machinery
put up, and pay dirt conmenced to be
taken out, by the firstday of June. —
The following are from the Union :

A youNG couple of Rockport, Maine

On account of the lateness of -the season, 8 o'clock comes a little after dark,

it ts heling anak to turn back the clock

latter expedient tothe great jcy of the
dancers. The band, consisting of a
violin, piano, clarionet, cornet_ and
base viol furnished excellent ‘music, .
the entire programme having been previously arranged. About ‘seventy
couples were present, the ladies predominating. Quite a delegation were
present.from abroad, and all enjoyed
the dance, The young men have reason
to be proud of their success, and those
who attended are under obligations to
them for an evening of pleasure.

examination of the eastern end of the:
Central Pacific Railroad, that on Tuesday evening thirty-six miles of track
remained to be laid to complete the connection. between the two roads. Preparations were made for Jaying ten miles
of track yesterday, which would be the
longest stretch of railway iron ever Jaid
in one day. There is still some pretty
heavy grading to be done, and as the
Central has purchased the right of way
from Monument Point to Ogden Cfty,
and must construct the road to that
place, the connection cannot be looked
for before the 1st of next month. The
Commissioners have been notified that
the last section of the road. will be
ready for their inspection on the 10th’
,of May.

just the thing for those who desire the
latest and best scngs and dances arranged for the piano. Among the instrumental pieces in this number, we
notice the “Forest Glade March,” “Den_mark Rose Waltz,” and “Golden Sunset
Mazourka,” The subscription price of
the Magazine is $3 per year, and it is
published in New WY ork.
DARING conan AT RoBBERY.—On
Thursday last, about 9 o'clock in the .
evening, six masked men entered the
store of F. Burkhalter & Co., who are
also Pacific Union Express Agents, at
Truckee. At the time there were five
men in the store, and these the robbers
covered with their’ revolvers. One
of the persons in the store,a Mr. Brown,
arose fromthe chair in which he was
sitting, and struck one of them over
#he head, who tired‘and fled. Another
one also fired at the clerk, Mr. Nickerthe erockery. It was certainly a most
daring attempt at-robbery.
