Walrath, for several sessions a member of the Legislature from Nevada county, is President of the 17th Agricultural Association, and a more public-spirited man there is not in the State. Geo. Fletcher, of Grass Valley, is Secretary, and D. E. Morgan, of Nevada City, Assistant Secretary. ee MarsHat Ho.srooke is doing some good work about the sewers of the city. New ones have been putin, old ones repaired ahd a general flushing out gone through with. If all the private sewers were in as good condition as those putin by the city there would be no cause for complaint in that line. Taxpayers should remember that city taxes are now due’ and payable to the Marshal at the City Hall. The taxes-become delinquent. on Monday, August 3d, at 6 o’clock p.m. After that time five per cent will be added. In about a week the work on Suspension Bridge will be completed, and it is the earnest prayer of every taxpayer that-the—‘‘elephant”’ will be at nomore expense . to. the city during the present year. _ Now that our citizens have a nice road and a splendid track to drive'on, about a dozen horses, phetons, carts and buggies have been purchased. There are more private conveyances owned here than ever before. Owners of dilapidated sidewalks and streets should have their thoroughfares placed in good order without the necessity of compelling the Marshal to serve notice on them to have the work done. Mrs. Joun Mukcuig, 8r., is dangerously ill, and but little hope is entertained of her-recovery , her _ many friends will regret to learn. She is now 78 years of age and has resided here over a quarter of a cen tury. Tue quartz mining industry hereabouts is improving every day. It is now on a solid basis and investments in that line are regarded as safe as in any other class of business. : Tue roadway from H.C. Mills’ residence on Sacramento street. to Weiss’ brewery has been greatly improved.

This reduction applies only to this town, or where I can put them up without traveling expenses. Evyery Holder warranted (unless accidentally broken) as long as the ‘bedstead lasts. © lt ~G. W. Hernina. An Exception. Every person, firm, corporation, stage and express company doing business im this section of -the country have been solicited to subscribe towards making the 17th Agricultural Fair a credit to Northern California. The subscriptions have been most generous, and the committee have been met with a flat refusal by only one corporation, and that one has received a general and: liberal patronage from our people during the past thirty-five years. It has never contributed even as much asa short bit towards anything for the relief or benefit of any enterprise ever inaugurated here. We refer to the soulless corporation of WELLS, Farao & Co. The Seperintendent’s letter will probably be published. Further comment is unnecessary. Lost Confidence. The San Juan Times says: “The Grass Valley Tidings proposes to construct a 20-inch railroad from Grass Valley to North ‘San. Juan. ‘Barkis is willin’.’ Now that the Tidings has taken hold of the ‘matter in apparent earnest, we shall expect to see the “jron horse’ enter this town on the Fourth of July, 1895, or thereabouts, if it depends on the people of Grsss Valley to do the work. ‘We have a specimen of their mode of doing business in the wagon road matter._.We have great love for the people of Grass Valley, but we have no confidence in their mode of making public’ improvements where money is required.” ———P Still They Come. Several more mining men have arrived here in search of good quartz mining property. There are about a dozen or fifteen experts here examining several properties hereal.outs. It issaid that several sales have been made and will be made public in afew days. Nevada county quartz mines are now attracting ‘more attention than ever before. For’ meritorious mines this section is unequalled. : Songs se ESS Tue Derbec drift mine is looking splendid, and some good sized nuggets: are being found almost daily. The rumor that it -was soon to be closed down was unfounded. Some men who were employed in the tunnel were discharged, which gave cause for the rumor. The upper part of the mine, where most of the work is being done, never looked better than now. ; a 6 RO Tue old hydraulic mining spies in the upper part of this county have been superseded by a new crowd. The “people up there should renew their watchfulness and keep their homes and barns securely bolted day and night. All valuables should he removed to some other section for safe keeping. Men who are mean enough to act as spies will bear watching. ; Tur Sacramento Bee continues to talk as villainous as ever against the hydraulic miners. There is one consolation about the matter and that is its sentiments are not endorsed by the people of its_own town. The Bee’s influence does notamount to much where the true inwardness of: the. paper is known. ‘Tae San Juan Times says: “The woods are full of slickens spies. Fires are occurring in all directions. The spies are mad. Kuhlman’s barn at French Corral was recently set on fire and destroyed. We tell the people to keep a bright lookout for incendiaries. They need watch ing.” Ir is rumored that McSnorter of the Marysville Democrat will soon challenge Smith of the Appeal to fight a duel. It will be a slickens and anti-slickens fight, and McSnorter ought to win, for his side of the cause is just. Saat a SaaS Tue soliciting committee for the District-Fair propose taking a trip to Sacramento, as many of the leading merchants there have expressed a desire to contribute towards the great enterprise. —_——opo Aut ladies interested in Trinity Parish are requested to meet at the residence of Mrs. D. E. Morgan at 2 o’clock this afternoon. No merchant can be successful in business unless he advertises in his local paper. Its a fact. Go AND secure your seats for the Theatre tonight. SPLENDID BILL at the Theatre tonight. -““Yesterpay the thermometer marked 86 degrees in the shade. ————e A two-yEaR-oLp colt of Jim Douglas isin training, and will be here for the fair. — Margiep Men don’t fail to at‘. tend the Theatre tonight. The Leve-Nannary Company. This splendid company made their first appearance in~ this city on Monday evening last, and every one present felt well paid for the time spent at the Theatre. Miss Marston Leigh is one of the best actresses on the stage, andin fact has few equals. In the play of ‘‘Clancarty”’ she had-a fine opportunity of displaying her merits asa No. 1 actress. James Carden, husband of Miss Marston Leigh, can not be too highly spoken of. His acting was of the highest order, and we think he can safely be classed among the leading actors of the country. The other members of the company sustained their parts in a very creditable manner. The play of “Clancarty’’ isa historical one. It comprises the history of the Assassination Plot of 1696 as has been told in detail by Lord Macauley, from material furnished mainly by the State Trials of that date. The story.of the marriage of Lord and Lady Clancarty, while still boy and girl (not uncommon at the. time when it occurred), their long and entire separation, their encounter as strangers, the husband’s subsequent discovery of his wife, the rapid growth of their love, Clancarty’s arrest in his wife’s arms by Lord Charles Spencer, her brother; and his condemnation to death under the High Treason Act, being found in England: without Royal license, after filling high postsin the Armies and Councils of James II. at St. Germains, and the pardon obtained with difficulty from the King by the loving courage of Lady Clancarty, are also historical. The author is answerable for implicating Lord Clancarty in the Assassination Plot of 1696 (for most of the features and actors of which, as here represented, including the scenes and characters at ‘‘There Hurst,’’ there is no historial authority), for assigning to him the manly and ,courageous part in first revealing the Plot to the King andthe Earl of Portland, which was really played by Thomas Pendergast, a Jacobite gentleman of Lancashire. The Assassination Plot immediately preceded the re-union of Lord andSLady Clancarty, therefore, «the “combination of the two series of incidents involve no violence to historical consistency. ss Tonight. Walter Lovell’s beautiful pley of a ‘‘wife’s secret’? will be presented, and we hope to see the Thea rowded to its full capacity. The-Company is firstclass in every respeet, andis deserving of a good house. —_——__. <> Trial Jurors.

Scott’s Emulsiog of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hy pophosphites, As a Remedy for Consumption. Tr.“H. J. Pratt, Montello, Wisconsin, says: ‘‘After a thorough test of over two years, I voluntarily recommend your Scott’s Emulsion to those afflicted with consumption.’’ = Whats Pity That the otherwise beautiful girl should have such bad teeth. And. because she did not use SOZODONT. It costs so little to buy it . considering tne good it does, and its benefits stretch out into her future life. Poor girl! je23-bw Fooled Again. T. G. Robinson, the mining spy, got news a day or two ago that the Omega hydraulic mine was being
run to its full capacity. Bright and early he got up in the morning, went to a stable and secured a spanking team. Everything with him was lovely, and with high hopes that he would find the hydraulic vandals at -work he put his team through at a lively gait. When near the Central House he encountered a band of sheep belonging to the valleyites, and his business being urgent he dashed through the innocents, killing one outright and running over and injuring three others. When he arrived at Omega there was nota drop of water in the ditches, or a man to be seen around the claim. He was fooled again, and accordingly returned to this city disgusted. Wethink it a little mean to put a man to so much trouble, but.then in such particular cases we suppose some people consider it all right. Robinson is a good . tels, and he is not as mean as some of the men who are in the pay of the great hell-roaring Anti-Debris Association. The money spent by that Association must be enormous—enough annually ‘to build all the dams required to safely store the debris from all the hydranlic mines in the county, even if they were run to their full capacity. The question naturally arises, where does all the money come from to pay the small army of spies that are stationed all over the mining section? ay : Siecaiece re vad ali toils Beard of Equalization.
