The Grass Valley Union says Tarner voted against a bill which provided that no Chinese should be em. ployed in the ,constraction of tie Southern Pacific railroad. The Un‘jon says Senator O’Connor ‘voted for the bill. Therfore it thinks Turner would vote for Chinamen in the . future.

Don't do what? Don’t gamble with those old gray headed «men. They know no better, bat you do. whitch would probably have destroyed all the buildings belonging to that company bat fur the timely assistance rendered by the men employed ut the mine and others living near by. Mr. Walrath, who is interested’ in the mine, ‘passed through the woods where the fire was aboatan hour before, at which time there were no signs of a fire. Shertly after he reached the mine the fire was discovered, and 60 men were scon on the ground exerting themselves to their utmost to subdue the flames, which they sueceded ‘in doing after fighting it all the afternoon and the night following. While this fire was-raging a lady named Mrs. Post, who resides a short distance below thé California mine, . saw two men cross to the opposite side of the creek, and shortly after fires were burning in two places near the fruit ranca of Josiah Rogers. The attention of nearly every one one in the neighborhood being attracted to the fire on. the opposite side of the creek, the underbrush below the fence surrounding the orchard of Mr, Rogers was all ina blaze before any help arrived. Quite a number of men and boys from this city seeing the immense smoke. occasioned by the fire, repaired thither as fast as possible, and after a desperate struggle extinguished the flames, but not until over a quarter ofa mile of tenee and many fruit trees were destroyed. This is pretty. heavy on Mr, Rogers as he had his residence and all its contents burned not long since. No efforts should be spared to diseover the parties who are engaged in thisnefarious business, and if caught, they should be made to suffer the. extreme penalty ot the Jaw. +THE CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE, Forepaugh Exhibits Everything He Advertises, and Givesa First-Class Entertainment, There is no humbug, about Forepaugh.

They, perhaps, had praying mothers ouce. She often asked the Lord to keep her boy from evil as we do now, and as perhaps your parents are doing; bat long ago that dear mother’s voice has been stilled in death, and years of sin has oblitersted the last traces from that old man’s mind. He, perhaps, was led by sin once as he is leading you, hence what he is now, if you stop not, you are sure to be. May God save the young men of this city, our dear boys trom the. talons of these old vultures of the den. Let no one deny the charge. Ihave seen December sitting at the gambling table with May. Is there no law to save our sons? If these men have no shame, some of these old men have been, and some of-them are now, members of churches. Some of these boys are now,or have been;the same, hence they both should know better. Oh young man for the'bope of fature years, desist. Thisaged man has spent his life, he has but little to gain compared With you. Hear this appeal and turo from sach sinful habits and be a man. Don’t drink with that oldman, See his tottering frame, his trembling hands, bis haggard looks, his ragged, filthy, garments, his bloodshot eyes, all this, to say nothing of his ruined soul, comes up the curse of corses, from the withering bowl, the wine cup, the brandy bottle.

W.S. —— The Era of Reconciliation. In his, recent speech at Vallejo, landmarks in the history of the liepublican organization. The first was. the putting down of the Rebellion; the second was Reconstruction, and the third Reconciliation. ‘Two of these have already been accomplished, and the third, grester than either of the others, hus been reserved for President Hayes. He bas in this lived up t the promises he made before election, and.now let us live up to ours.Republicans cannot support President Hayes and his policy without voting for men who willsuppostit. It is idle for maeu to indulge in high flowing sentiment on the Presidential policy, to talk of their admiration for Hayes, their desire for his success, and profess to give him their. support, if they refuse to ‘take the ovly means in their power to assist, The President will stand or fall by the Republican party, and to that party alone he can luok forsupport. That support cau be rendered most practicully and effectively by the election of Republicans to legislative offices, and the formation of a State government in correspondence with that of the nation. A Scrap oF Htstory.—On the day of the Republican County Convention, Henry Kverett, who was not known to bé a candidate, wus was seen to enter the Skating Rink (next door to the 'Vheatre, where the Convention was held)with theNevada delegation, Afterwards he was put in nuwination for the Assembly, and the Nevada delegation voted tor him, so id. ‘Phe Nevada delegation were all Sargent men. So says the historian.—Grass Valley Union. ANOTHER SCRAP OF ITISTORY, .On a day previous:to the assemblingvf the Nevada County Democratic Convention, a number of members of that party met at a, mine. near Grass Valley. Among the number was a writer for the Grass Valley Uuion, The candidates for the nominatien of Sheriff were being discussed. When ex-Sheriff George Smith’s’ aforesaid is reported to have affirmed that in case Smith received the nomination he and 60 other good Demoerats had conspired to defeat him at the polls, and they could and would do it. The Grass Valley dele. Mr: Estee suid there are three great . name was mentioned, the writer . ‘O° county, will havea grand picMurderer Killed and Salted down. “There was cotisiderable excitement at Colfax yesterday morning, on the arrival of the eastern bound traia, which contained the remains of a map this State. From a gentleman who was present,we give the story as told us. As s0om asthe train stopped, a very large man, dressed like an old mountaineer, with a Henry rifle in bis hand, his clothes covered with blood, and having the~ appearance of having been engaged in a terrible conflict with some man or. beast, alighted, The man started for the baggage car, when an immense crowd, consisting of the passengers of the train and residents of the town, collected, anxious to-find out what was up. As soon as he got sight of the baggage master he said: ‘‘Has tbat —— —— got away?’ master replied: “I don’t huow, the box washere.’’ One man in the crowd, who seemed to know the man stepped up to kim and asked, him lowing explanation from the mysterious man: He said: “I have been traveling for a long-time for a desperado, the murderer of seven men, Governor Irwin offered various rewards, in all amounting to about $1000, and there are many other ‘rewards for the arrest of the man who is‘in that box. I made up my mind to go in search of him, and after traveling almost everywhere, I tracked him to Fordyce Valley. I. knew I could not take him alive, and determined to killhim, as I kuew he wonld kill me as soon as he saw me, and I got the start of bim, and there is the result after hard fighting. Stranger: “* Well how came this blood all over you?’’ Mountaineer continued as follows: **Well, where I had the fight it was impossible to bring him this. distance without Opening him und salting him down, so he would keep and be -récognized by pasties who knew the mourderer, and that’s how came all the Llood over me.” By thistime the conductor cried out ‘‘all aboard,”” and both men jumped on the train. These are all the particulars we could glean iu regard to the affiir. No one knew the name oi the stranger, the mountaineer or the murderer. Correspondence, Nevaba Criry, Avgust 24th 1877 Ep, Transcript :—Having visited the village of Omega, in this county and being interested in educatiosal progress, I visited the public school there in charge of Miss Carrie Frink, a young lady of this city and an . accomplished scholar. That she ‘is beyond . the average stamp of teachers, in her lady-like deportiment. and intelligence, I have no doubt whatever--whilst the answering of her pupils, and particularly of Miss Ellie Feeny was so highly creditable to her, as also to the perforuiance cf this young girl of fifteen years of age that I cannot fail to note it. Having been connected for many years with institutions of learning, I feel interested in the intellectual prosperity of our people, I rejoice to find in the obscure village school such accurate answering in the various branches of learning (arithmetic, geography, grammar and spelling,)as that revealed by Miss Feeny. Much eredit is indeed due to her very excellent and estimable teacher. Wersay together, teacher and pupils do likewise, and gladly rejoicing that our visit was so-reward+ ed by the order whicli We Witnessed in the schoo] room, and the answering in their class duties. We sl.al] visit Mies Frink again and say prospere procede et regna. TRAVELER.

W.S. —— The Era of Reconciliation. In his, recent speech at Vallejo, landmarks in the history of the liepublican organization. The first was. the putting down of the Rebellion; the second was Reconstruction, and the third Reconciliation. ‘Two of these have already been accomplished, and the third, grester than either of the others, hus been reserved for President Hayes. He bas in this lived up t the promises he made before election, and.now let us live up to ours.Republicans cannot support President Hayes and his policy without voting for men who willsuppostit. It is idle for maeu to indulge in high flowing sentiment on the Presidential policy, to talk of their admiration for Hayes, their desire for his success, and profess to give him their. support, if they refuse to ‘take the ovly means in their power to assist, The President will stand or fall by the Republican party, and to that party alone he can luok forsupport. That support cau be rendered most practicully and effectively by the election of Republicans to legislative offices, and the formation of a State government in correspondence with that of the nation. A Scrap oF Htstory.—On the day of the Republican County Convention, Henry Kverett, who was not known to bé a candidate, wus was seen to enter the Skating Rink (next door to the 'Vheatre, where the Convention was held)with theNevada delegation, Afterwards he was put in nuwination for the Assembly, and the Nevada delegation voted tor him, so id. ‘Phe Nevada delegation were all Sargent men. So says the historian.—Grass Valley Union. ANOTHER SCRAP OF ITISTORY, .On a day previous:to the assemblingvf the Nevada County Democratic Convention, a number of members of that party met at a, mine. near Grass Valley. Among the number was a writer for the Grass Valley Uuion, The candidates for the nominatien of Sheriff were being discussed. When ex-Sheriff George Smith’s’ aforesaid is reported to have affirmed that in case Smith received the nomination he and 60 other good Demoerats had conspired to defeat him at the polls, and they could and would do it.

From a gentleman who was present,we give the story as told us. As s0om asthe train stopped, a very large man, dressed like an old mountaineer, with a Henry rifle in bis hand, his clothes covered with blood, and having the~ appearance of having been engaged in a terrible conflict with some man or. beast, alighted, The man started for the baggage car, when an immense crowd, consisting of the passengers of the train and residents of the town, collected, anxious to-find out what was up. As soon as he got sight of the baggage master he said: ‘‘Has tbat —— —— got away?’

master replied: “I don’t huow, the box washere.’’ One man in the crowd, who seemed to know the man stepped up to kim and asked, him lowing explanation from the mysterious man: He said: “I have been traveling for a long-time for a desperado, the murderer of seven men, Governor Irwin offered various rewards, in all amounting to about $1000, and there are many other ‘rewards for the arrest of the man who is‘in that box. I made up my mind to go in search of him, and after traveling almost everywhere, I tracked him to Fordyce Valley. I. knew I could not take him alive, and determined to killhim, as I kuew he wonld kill me as soon as he saw me, and I got the start of bim, and there is the result after hard fighting. Stranger: “* Well how came this blood all over you?’’ Mountaineer continued as follows: **Well, where I had the fight it was impossible to bring him this. distance without Opening him und salting him down, so he would keep and be -récognized by pasties who knew the mourderer, and that’s how came all the Llood over me.” By thistime the conductor cried out ‘‘all aboard,”” and both men jumped on the train. These are all the particulars we could glean iu regard to the affiir. No one knew the name oi the stranger, the mountaineer or the murderer. Correspondence, Nevaba Criry, Avgust 24th 1877 Ep, Transcript :—Having visited the village of Omega, in this county and being interested in educatiosal progress, I visited the public school there in charge of Miss Carrie Frink, a young lady of this city and an . accomplished scholar. That she ‘is beyond . the average stamp of teachers, in her lady-like deportiment. and intelligence, I have no doubt whatever--whilst the answering of her pupils, and particularly of Miss Ellie Feeny was so highly creditable to her, as also to the perforuiance cf this young girl of fifteen years of age that I cannot fail to note it. Having been connected for many years with institutions of learning, I feel interested in the intellectual prosperity of our people, I rejoice to find in the obscure village school such accurate answering in the various branches of learning (arithmetic, geography, grammar and spelling,)as that revealed by Miss Feeny. Much eredit is indeed due to her very excellent and estimable teacher. Wersay together, teacher and pupils do likewise, and gladly rejoicing that our visit was so-reward+ ed by the order whicli We Witnessed in the schoo] room, and the answering in their class duties.
