There are quite a number who insist that the Professor has been misrepsesentéed, while others agree with the Republican, MF, A Remarkable Exhibition.a Tne Grass Valley Union of yesterday says concerning the troupe of — educated equines which will be ‘‘exhibited at the tent on Boulder street to-morrow evening: The performance of Sherman’s troupe of trained horses excited the admiration and astonishment of all “who. witnessed them last night, —as{notwithstanding all that had. been said or published could any one realize how much had been or could: be accomplished in the training ‘of horses so that they would appear to possess an’ intellizence very nearly to that of human. The tricks were wonderful as acknowledged by the best horsemen, who were-as much delighted as were the ladies and children, many of whcm were in attendance. The exhibition of the + trick horses usually seen in circuses is nothing as compared to this, as they far excel anything of that kind that has éver been seen on this coast. ew Bucking Against the Trustees. Upon second thought H. A, Lones has concluded to rebel against the new city ordinance condemning a certain portion of his land in the old Chinatown for the purpose of rtinning a highway, to be known as York street, through it. Yesterday he constructed a flimsy fence out of old clrarred timbers directly across the proposed route of the street. The city fathers say that when the ‘ordinance goes into effect they will ‘make short work of removing the ob‘struction. If the pluck of Mr, Lones or the Trustees does not in the mean‘time sizzle away, we—shall look—for some rare sport ina few days. Bets as to the outcome are now in order, A Four Thousand Dollar Bridge. Peter Purdon has just completed arrangements with Collins & Tredenborough, bridge, builders, for the construction of anew bridge scross the South Yubariver, alongside of the present one, at a cost of $4,000; The bridge is to be 150 feet ‘span, 16 feet wide, 16 feet high and 30 feet above low water mark, making it about four feet higher than the present one; The work will be-completed and ready for travel in about six weeks. The travel will not-be stopped atall, asthe old bridge, which is in good order, will be ready at.all times toconvey teams and passengers aczoss the river. o> oA Doctor Arrested for Manslaughter Dr. Geo. Ivancovich, a Grass Valley physician;was examined in Judge Robinson’s court at this city yesterday for manslaughter. It is claimed by the complaining witness, E. J. Le Long of Grass Valley, that the Doctor by unprofessional condwe' caused the death of Mrs. Le Long on the 18th of last month immediately after that lady had been delivered of aatill-born-chid. There being nothing in the Case he was discharged, A BMaptist Charch. Preaching in the morning by the pastor, Rev. B. L.

The office referred to is situated on the mountain side 5,450 feet above the sea, leaving 3,600 to be climbed before our object should be ‘accomplished. We pany’s mountain horses, and I flatwould be aiv-easy one—for thé rid-' ers. I was seriously mistaken. At times the trail was so steep and narrow, and abounded with so many dismount and walk for long distances. ; ! ' About two-thirds of the way up the south side of the mountain ‘an area of country one-fourth of a mile wide and half a mile long has within a short time sunk down till its surface is five feet below that. of the surrounding ground, This is caused by the timbers in the abandoned workings of the Sierra Buttes_mine giving away. It is possib'e thata disastrous landslide may occur here some day, At 7,000 feet we reached a spot where a torrent of water as. cold as ice, after coursing along the surface for a hundred feet from its emerging place above, sinks into the bowels of the earth again and-cannot” be traced further: This stream of mysterious origin and unknown. destiny is by scientists considered oneof . the greatest curiosities to be witnessed in the region. On the opposite side of the mountain the sides are nothing more than great walls of rock that extend straight downward hundreds and hundreds of feet. ; It was here that we came to the foot of an old log. chute some five hundred feet.long and almost perpendicular. .It began just where the trail wa had been traveling disappeared in afield of chappara!, and had the appearance of Being worn by recent travel. The Superintendent and myself, who were riding ahgad, concocted a scheme to havesomerare sport at the expense of our journalistic companion, so we led the way straight to the’ foot of the precipice, . and halted, “Lost the trail?” shouted Downer, “Of We did not answer him, bnt dismounted and. pretended to tighten’ our saddle girths. : ‘I say, have you lost the trail?” he repeated as his horse brushed its nose against the foot of the declivity. ‘Better ask us if we've said our ptayers,” answered Preston with well assumed impatience. Do you think a trail that has stood on its. end like that ever since I can’ remember would be liable to get away now just because we want to go up it?” aud he pointed at the chute, Downer’s face changed color. He fooked half credulous, half doubting; laughed at first, then grew serious, aid eyed us closely. We pinched ourselves, and kept from giggling. Finally he apparently came to the conclusion that we meant business, for he dismounted and looked at his saddlé fastenings. We made an important and inter-esting discovéry here. In the saddle bags of one of the party were found half-a dozen queer-looking stone bottles labelled, ‘'Bass’s Ale; beware of imitations,” How they ever got into our company we couldn't imagine, They were too heavy to,carry them all tothe summit, so we drained three of them for the tired horses’ sake, *‘Now, Downer, as you have the sharpest shod animal, you ‘had better lead,” suggested our escort. After half an hour spent in telling him that hundreds had done the same thing. before him; that but three men had been killed out of all who had tried it; that we never yet heard of a case where & uewspaper man “tumbled to de dl that life. was only a short dr after . all, and otherwise reas: shim, he yielded. oe » Six times he rode the horse to the foot’ of the chute, and six times the Hara Road to Travel — Remarkable Changes in the, Form of the Mountain—Other Interesting Fea-E.

Coming down, you can sit on the top of. chapparal and slide part of the way; an eighth of a mile cin be glided over on snow. lither of these are calculated to give someone a job at reshingling your breeches, It takes about one hour to come all the way down.

The tricks were wonderful as acknowledged by the best horsemen, who were-as much delighted as were the ladies and children, many of whcm were in attendance. The exhibition of the + trick horses usually seen in circuses is nothing as compared to this, as they far excel anything of that kind that has éver been seen on this coast. ew Bucking Against the Trustees. Upon second thought H. A, Lones has concluded to rebel against the new city ordinance condemning a certain portion of his land in the old Chinatown for the purpose of rtinning a highway, to be known as York street, through it. Yesterday he constructed a flimsy fence out of old clrarred timbers directly across the proposed route of the street. The city fathers say that when the ‘ordinance goes into effect they will ‘make short work of removing the ob‘struction. If the pluck of Mr, Lones or the Trustees does not in the mean‘time sizzle away, we—shall look—for some rare sport ina few days. Bets as to the outcome are now in order, A Four Thousand Dollar Bridge. Peter Purdon has just completed arrangements with Collins & Tredenborough, bridge, builders, for the construction of anew bridge scross the South Yubariver, alongside of the present one, at a cost of $4,000; The bridge is to be 150 feet ‘span, 16 feet wide, 16 feet high and 30 feet above low water mark, making it about four feet higher than the present one; The work will be-completed and ready for travel in about six weeks. The travel will not-be stopped atall, asthe old bridge, which is in good order, will be ready at.all times toconvey teams and passengers aczoss the river. o> oA Doctor Arrested for Manslaughter Dr. Geo.

At times the trail was so steep and narrow, and abounded with so many dismount and walk for long distances. ; ! ' About two-thirds of the way up the south side of the mountain ‘an area of country one-fourth of a mile wide and half a mile long has within a short time sunk down till its surface is five feet below that. of the surrounding ground, This is caused by the timbers in the abandoned workings of the Sierra Buttes_mine giving away. It is possib'e thata disastrous landslide may occur here some day, At 7,000 feet we reached a spot where a torrent of water as. cold as ice, after coursing along the surface for a hundred feet from its emerging place above, sinks into the bowels of the earth again and-cannot” be traced further: This stream of mysterious origin and unknown. destiny is by scientists considered oneof . the greatest curiosities to be witnessed in the region. On the opposite side of the mountain the sides are nothing more than great walls of rock that extend straight downward hundreds and hundreds of feet. ; It was here that we came to the foot of an old log. chute some five hundred feet.long and almost perpendicular. .It began just where the trail wa had been traveling disappeared in afield of chappara!, and had the appearance of Being worn by recent travel.

Do you think a trail that has stood on its. end like that ever since I can’ remember would be liable to get away now just because we want to go up it?” aud he pointed at the chute, Downer’s face changed color. He fooked half credulous, half doubting; laughed at first, then grew serious, aid eyed us closely. We pinched ourselves, and kept from giggling. Finally he apparently came to the conclusion that we meant business, for he dismounted and looked at his saddlé fastenings. We made an important and inter-esting discovéry here. In the saddle bags of one of the party were found half-a dozen queer-looking stone bottles labelled, ‘'Bass’s Ale; beware of imitations,” How they ever got into our company we couldn't imagine, They were too heavy to,carry them all tothe summit, so we drained three of them for the tired horses’ sake, *‘Now, Downer, as you have the sharpest shod animal, you ‘had better lead,” suggested our escort.
