NEVADA CITY, CAL. "Friday, April 80.1876. Live Questions. There are several live issues {hat ~ ‘must be met by the political parties “of this State at the approaching political campaign. {State as. well naa Oneal issues -neast--be--decided, and “the State Conventions will both have ‘to take seme actionon them. The people generally are more interested in seeing a State system of irrigation and an equal system of taxation es_ tablished at home, than to see the “sucoess of either political party in _______ Louisiana. _One_ thing is_ certain, ee party which ignores State issues Bhe Duily Transcript Paine Memorial Building and ‘pater. : We were yesterday shown, by Felix Gillet,a fine lithograph ofa building recently erected in Bdékton, in memory of Thomas Paine. The money used in its construction came from the donation of James Lick, at the time he disposed of his estate for churitable and other purposes, and by subscriptions from subscrib_ers.of the. Boston—In vestigation. Among bis bequests was this one: The property donated wasa mill and other property situated, we believe, near San Jose. The trustees, as soon as the bequest was made, came on to San Jose and disposed of the property and with the proceeds have erected this byilding. It is five sto. ries high and isa very imposing __this Fall can sot sreusé auch on-. ‘S{husiagm inits support. Although . the people of this State are interested in who shal represent them in -———— the National Councils, they are equally, if not more, interested in ‘who shell make and execute the laws “~ef this State. We trust the Repub~ lican™~party will, as it always bas « decided stand upon’ them during the coming campaign; fer, by. sach @ course only can it receive \Op‘alar support. Thére is but little en~, thusiasm among the musses of either. party. They. are more interested in seeing honest, upright men placed in position, thanin the success of i ee we predict that predict that the co we the done, meet the living issues'and tuke . ute, LE Dost vestigailo a paper advocating the doctrines of Paine, occupies'the building, When Mr. Lick revoked his will, this*‘bequest was uot included, and it -was the only one. There are but few who know. such a bequest was made. It seems the matter was aot mentioned at the time the will. was made public. Only the San Jose Mercury, we believe, mude it public. If the trustees of his other bequests had been as active as those of Bos_ton,-the revovatiOn never would have “been made. : : Fines Postpened. <= come off on e Our reporter, says the Grass_Valley Union, in company with Engineer Kidder, Chief of construction on the narrow gauge failroad, went ‘over the line ftom Grass Valley to Colfax, on Tuesday, for the purpose ‘of viewing the progress of the work. Asis well known to the public, the principal scene of active " operations at present, is from Colfax to’ Bear River, which embraces a large part of the heavy grading of the road,aud upon this portion the main working forcé has been employed since the contractors commenced work, about the middle of February.

Some sheep which were liver diseased were confined in an enclosure which happened to have been recently hedged. with boldo twigs. The animals ate the leaves and shoots, and were observed to recover speedily. Direct obseryation prove its action: thus one gramme of the tincture excites appetite, increas 5 the circulation and produces symptoms of circulatoty excitement, and acts on the urine. Perhaps a more useful. tree does not exist.

From the tunnel our course took us over Bear River at the Weed Crossing, just below which the Mobawk Lumber Company are erecting a saw mill, at which will be sawed the timbers fer the railroad bridges and trestling to be erected across Bear iver und Greenhorn. The saw mill will be but ‘a short distance above. the railroad crossing, and . teams can haul the timbers down ou the bard sand bed'of the river to the bridge site.

The money used in its construction came from the donation of James Lick, at the time he disposed of his estate for churitable and other purposes, and by subscriptions from subscrib_ers.of the. Boston—In vestigation. Among bis bequests was this one: The property donated wasa mill and other property situated, we believe, near San Jose.

We trust the Repub~ lican™~party will, as it always bas « decided stand upon’ them during the coming campaign; fer, by. sach @ course only can it receive \Op‘alar support.

There are but few who know. such a bequest was made. It seems the matter was aot mentioned at the time the will. was made public. Only the San Jose Mercury, we believe, mude it public.
