Epitror Transcrirr: I heartily indorse your criticisms of the wagon road between this city and Grass Valley, as far as they go, and beg to add the remark that you did not go quite far enough. . The taxpayers of the towns should rebel againstthé dillydallying course of the Supervisors in postponing action till. next term, and insist that the work be done at the time it is most needed, viz: Before the Fair begins next September. Do we want visitors to come here from abroad and travel over that rough, rocky road as it now exists?) Do we want them to go away after the Fair and spread the information that nature has done everything for us, but that we have neither the enterprise nor the progressiveness to improve or take care of what we have fallen heir-to? I hope and pray that the ee reconsider their determination the early part of the week. and decide to get at work at once on the road. I am almost certain that my views on this subject are entertained by all of my neighbors who have given any thought to the subject. Yours very truly, PIONEER. ian i ceca A Serious Bridge Accident. Yesterday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock as G, A. Johnson, commonly called ‘‘Shake"’ Johnson, was crossing Greenhorn bridge on his way from You Bet to P. Brunstetter’s lumber yard in Grass Valley with a four-horse wagonload of shakes, the. bridge fell, precipitating Johnson and his team to the bed of the creek a distance of forty feet. All of the horses were fatally hart. Johnson, who is about 65 years of age, sustained the fracture of a leg and was severely hurt on the head. He may die. Dr. Waggoner of Grass Valley was sent for and he and another physician went'to the scene of the-accident. Supervisor Hill, road commissioner of the district where the bridge was, was at this city attending the meeting of the Supervisors, and atelegram was sent notifying him of the calamity. Mr, Johnson, the injured man, has-a wife, but no children. He is highly spoken of by all who know him, and much sympathy is expressed in his behalf. The particulars as related above were. obtained from a young lady who came to Grass Valley from You Bet yesterday.

All are cordially inA Commercial Street Sell. On Friday a Wat:rhouse electric lamp was put up in Charonnat’s store ready for connection with the branch wires. Inthe evening the Commercial street jokers put their heads together and devised a scheme to take in the rest of the town. They inserted in the globe where the carbons should be a lighted tallow candle, then industriously circulated the report among the other business houses and on the streets that the electric light was at last in operation and Charonnat was the first. to have it, Scores of people swallowed the bait and called around to see. the new-fangled illuminant. , “Turn on more gas go we can see it,” said a Broad street merchant as he gazed at the faintly illuminated globe. “I think they better trade it off for a coal oil lamp,” observed another citizen, “Well, well,” ejaculated a lady from Piety Hill, ‘‘if that’ain’t a bilk I don’t know what is.” Thé Commercial street jokers scattered themselves around the store door and helped the thing along when the flow of adverse criticism flagged. Mr. Charonnat devoted himself to explaining that the light would be better as soon as the current of-electricity got stronger, and the spectators waited patiently butin vain for it to strengthen. He invited them all to come back some night when there was not a full moon, as he thought it might make some ‘difference then. SELES NT OE. City Board of Education.

Sacramento— The Sacramento Bee of Friday evening says: The courtmartial of Captain Rapp, of Company C, Nevada City, was begun at’ the Armory last evening. But little progress was made. The charges are as follows: That Captain Rapp is guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman— first, because he has collected $5,400 money for Company C and appropriated a large part for his own use and benefit ; second, because he has falsi-. fied his returns to company finances, and, third, because he recently assault. {ed Major H. 8S. Welch. The Court organized with Major Frank Ryan sitting ‘as* Judge Advocate, and the following officers detail.ed-for-the Court, viz.: George GrSif: ford, Captain of Company E¥ John Cook, Captain of Company B; Carrol M. Davis, Captain and Chaplain; C. H. Hubbard, Major and Assistant Adjutant-General; August Heilbron, Major and Ordnance Officer; Win. J. Davis, Major‘and Engineer Officer; Wm. McLaughlin, Majérand Subsistence Officer; M. Gardner, Major and Surgeon; Joseph Hahn, Major and Paymaster ; W.S. Leake, Major and Inspector of Rifle Practice. Clinton L. White appeared for the accused, and objected to Majors Car roll M. Davis, McLaughiin, Garilne: and Hahn, on the grounds. that they were not. proper officers to sit in the Court-martial. contended that the question might arise as to whether or not Captain Rapp had disobeyed military orders, and while Major Davis could administer to the spiritual welfare of the troops, Major McLaughlin deat out the champagne and cigars, Major Gardner saw. off the legs of those wounded in the carnage at “Tripe Hill,” and Major Hahn pay offthe men, yet they might not know the least thing about a military order, The Judge Advocate doubtless feared that if the line of action proposed should be adopted almost the eutire Court would be swept away, su he promptly overruled the objection. Clinton L. White (who has himsel! been a soldier and_in’ the thickest a! more than one encampment picnic) then threw a bombshell into the enemy’s camp, as it were, in the shape ot a demurrer, in which it was set forth that defendant had not: been given ten days in which to answer the charges, The objection was sustained and the Court-martial adjourned until Thursday.

The electric light company have agreed to put up at the junction of Main and Commercial streets a fortyfoot mast surmounted with a 2,000 candle-power lamp, and thus demonstrate in a practical way their system’s superiority for street-lighting purposes, provided the City Trustees will pay a reasonable sum for the use of the lamp,~ ‘The Trustees were to. have held a meeting last evening to take action on the proposition. . ~ 0 2@e —~ To Organize Today.

A judgment in favor of the pla tiff for $1000 “liquidated damages,’’ as they are called, was allowed Thursday by Judge Maguire of San Francisco, in the case of W. T. Y. Schenck. vs. the Pittsburg Gold Mining Company, wkose property is situate near this city, submitted on an agreed statement of facts. The cause of action was predicated on the legislative act of 1878, awarding such sum as damages to any stockholder bringing suit for failure to post monthly on the Ist. of each month in the office a copy of the balance sheet. Schienck was owner of 23,000 shares, and felt himself aggrieved that the balance sheet for October, 1880, was not put up until the 19th of the following month, the suit being brought, on the next day. he only defense made was that the secretary did not have the necessary information for the balance sheet until the date given ; but judgment went againt the company notwithstanding, because of the lack of proof to show that_any diligence was exercised to obtain that required information. — ~tOe oe Samnmtices The Next Thing. The San Francisco Mining Adyocate, in referring to the Supervisors of Yuba county having granted leave to drift miners to start up operations at Smartsville, says: The next court proceeding in a mining matter will, in all probability, be a petition by some quartz company for a leense to proceed with business, And thereupon a ‘lordly Board of Supervisors in a sleepy valley town will proceed to deliberate whether it shall be allowed to proceed. or be enjoined. The sooner it occurs the better for all mining interests. It. will serve to awaken an interest now apparently lacking, and to arouse the people dependent upon mining to a sense of the insiduous but none the less imminent dangers -approaching them. tee ; Fell Through a Bridge.

The ‘circumference of this queen of-the forest in one part of the butt is nearly twenty-eight’ feet ; in another part thirty-two and onehalf feet. If the writer remembers correctly, lightning destroyed the upper part of the tree; therefore, mo man can tell exactly what its height was. Situated near the Backbone House, on the Moore’s Flat road,is that prominent natural feature known as Devil’s Night-cap, an illustration of which ’ was given in Harper’s several years ago. It is a mass of lava cement towering thirty feet, or thereabouts, above the road. The top, which has the appearance of a huge knob, is somewhat larger than the base. —Why-it-is—called Devil’s Night-cap, nobody seems to know ; certainly, its resemblance to anight-cap is but slight. Near by, years ago, stood a saw-mill. One. of the workmen. told the proprietor of this mill that he knew where. there was astump that could not be cut. The owner claimed that he could, cut any stump ‘or tree in the ‘country, When shown ‘the Devil’s Night-cap, the stump to which the.workman re= ferred, the mill proprieto changed his mind.

Epitror Transcrirr: I heartily indorse your criticisms of the wagon road between this city and Grass Valley, as far as they go, and beg to add the remark that you did not go quite far enough. . The taxpayers of the towns should rebel againstthé dillydallying course of the Supervisors in postponing action till. next term, and insist that the work be done at the time it is most needed, viz: Before the Fair begins next September. Do we want visitors to come here from abroad and travel over that rough, rocky road as it now exists?) Do we want them to go away after the Fair and spread the information that nature has done everything for us, but that we have neither the enterprise nor the progressiveness to improve or take care of what we have fallen heir-to? I hope and pray that the ee reconsider their determination the early part of the week. and decide to get at work at once on the road. I am almost certain that my views on this subject are entertained by all of my neighbors who have given any thought to the subject. Yours very truly, PIONEER. ian i ceca A Serious Bridge Accident. Yesterday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock as G, A. Johnson, commonly called ‘‘Shake"’ Johnson, was crossing Greenhorn bridge on his way from You Bet to P. Brunstetter’s lumber yard in Grass Valley with a four-horse wagonload of shakes, the. bridge fell, precipitating Johnson and his team to the bed of the creek a distance of forty feet. All of the horses were fatally hart. Johnson, who is about 65 years of age, sustained the fracture of a leg and was severely hurt on the head. He may die. Dr. Waggoner of Grass Valley was sent for and he and another physician went'to the scene of the-accident. Supervisor Hill, road commissioner of the district where the bridge was, was at this city attending the meeting of the Supervisors, and atelegram was sent notifying him of the calamity. Mr, Johnson, the injured man, has-a wife, but no children. He is highly spoken of by all who know him, and much sympathy is expressed in his behalf. The particulars as related above were. obtained from a young lady who came to Grass Valley from You Bet yesterday.

All are cordially inA Commercial Street Sell. On Friday a Wat:rhouse electric lamp was put up in Charonnat’s store ready for connection with the branch wires. Inthe evening the Commercial street jokers put their heads together and devised a scheme to take in the rest of the town. They inserted in the globe where the carbons should be a lighted tallow candle, then industriously circulated the report among the other business houses and on the streets that the electric light was at last in operation and Charonnat was the first. to have it, Scores of people swallowed the bait and called around to see. the new-fangled illuminant. , “Turn on more gas go we can see it,” said a Broad street merchant as he gazed at the faintly illuminated globe. “I think they better trade it off for a coal oil lamp,” observed another citizen, “Well, well,” ejaculated a lady from Piety Hill, ‘‘if that’ain’t a bilk I don’t know what is.” Thé Commercial street jokers scattered themselves around the store door and helped the thing along when the flow of adverse criticism flagged. Mr. Charonnat devoted himself to explaining that the light would be better as soon as the current of-electricity got stronger, and the spectators waited patiently butin vain for it to strengthen. He invited them all to come back some night when there was not a full moon, as he thought it might make some ‘difference then. SELES NT OE. City Board of Education.

Sacramento— The Sacramento Bee of Friday evening says: The courtmartial of Captain Rapp, of Company C, Nevada City, was begun at’ the Armory last evening. But little progress was made. The charges are as follows: That Captain Rapp is guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman— first, because he has collected $5,400 money for Company C and appropriated a large part for his own use and benefit ; second, because he has falsi-. fied his returns to company finances, and, third, because he recently assault. {ed Major H. 8S. Welch. The Court organized with Major Frank Ryan sitting ‘as* Judge Advocate, and the following officers detail.ed-for-the Court, viz.: George GrSif: ford, Captain of Company E¥ John Cook, Captain of Company B; Carrol M. Davis, Captain and Chaplain; C. H. Hubbard, Major and Assistant Adjutant-General; August Heilbron, Major and Ordnance Officer; Win. J. Davis, Major‘and Engineer Officer; Wm. McLaughlin, Majérand Subsistence Officer; M. Gardner, Major and Surgeon; Joseph Hahn, Major and Paymaster ; W.S. Leake, Major and Inspector of Rifle Practice. Clinton L. White appeared for the accused, and objected to Majors Car roll M. Davis, McLaughiin, Garilne:

and Hahn, on the grounds. that they were not. proper officers to sit in the Court-martial. contended that the question might arise as to whether or not Captain Rapp had disobeyed military orders, and while Major Davis could administer to the spiritual welfare of the troops, Major McLaughlin deat out the champagne and cigars, Major Gardner saw. off the legs of those wounded in the carnage at “Tripe Hill,” and Major Hahn pay offthe men, yet they might not know the least thing about a military order, The Judge Advocate doubtless feared that if the line of action proposed should be adopted almost the eutire Court would be swept away, su he promptly overruled the objection. Clinton L. White (who has himsel! been a soldier and_in’ the thickest a! more than one encampment picnic) then threw a bombshell into the enemy’s camp, as it were, in the shape ot a demurrer, in which it was set forth that defendant had not: been given ten days in which to answer the charges, The objection was sustained and the Court-martial adjourned until Thursday.

Manager Osborne proposes to furnish electricity for power as well as illuminating purposes, He says he can supply it as a motor for mining machiney, ete., here and in Grass Valley, so that it will in no case cost more than water power, and in most instances the expense will be reduced from 25 to 75 per cent, according to the location. and the extent-of the works. ; ae egies snes A Truth That Will Never Die. ce A town without a live, pushing, growing, thorough-going, get-up-andget newspaper, is like a train without a locomotive—dead, motionless, inert and of no attraction. -Let no business man say he cannot afford to patronize the local paper. He had as well say say he cannot afford to do business, The newspaper is really a joint stock affair, and every man who has any pride of town and county ought to feel: it his duty to lend his support to keep up the newspapers of the county, AE EES Pace For Street Lighting. The electric light company have agreed to put up at the junction of Main and Commercial streets a fortyfoot mast surmounted with a 2,000 candle-power lamp, and thus demonstrate in a practical way their system’s superiority for street-lighting purposes, provided the City Trustees will pay a reasonable sum for the use of the lamp,~ ‘The Trustees were to. have held a meeting last evening to take action on the proposition. . ~ 0 2@e —~ To Organize Today.

The skies of Italy are ugly compared with California skies and Palestine never pronia produces. Figs, olives, pomegranates, cherries, pears, apricots, peaches, walnuts, almonds, prunes, grapes. oranges, lemons, limes, and apples exceed all belief; and as to flowers, no language can describe them. I saw on Easter Sunday in one church 7,000 callililies, and two crosses, each ten feet high, covered with roses, and other flowers, all grown in the open air. The roses, and hedges of geraniums, and_the orchards of orange blossoms, and the grand magnolia trees fill the air with sweetest’ odors, such as Araby the Blest never heard of. Then the ocean—breezesand. the absence’of thunder and lightning and cyclones and snow and ice and sudden severe changes—O, it is too—good to think of? Why will folks spend time and money and the contents of their stomachs in crossing the ocean to visit some old ruins, or some: dirty inns, when they can see and enjoy so much for so little in our own country?

Thousands are yoing to the Pacific Coast to stay, and this writer would go there also. if he could pull up stakes in the land of heat and-cold and storm and sudden and fearful changes.

A judgment in favor of the pla tiff for $1000 “liquidated damages,’’ as they are called, was allowed Thursday by Judge Maguire of San Francisco, in the case of W. T. Y. Schenck. vs. the Pittsburg Gold Mining Company, wkose property is situate near this city, submitted on an agreed statement of facts. The cause of action was predicated on the legislative act of 1878, awarding such sum as damages to any stockholder bringing suit for failure to post monthly on the Ist. of each month in the office a copy of the balance sheet. Schienck was owner of 23,000 shares, and felt himself aggrieved that the balance sheet for October, 1880, was not put up until the 19th of the following month, the suit being brought, on the next day. he only defense made was that the secretary did not have the necessary information for the balance sheet until the date given ; but judgment went againt the company notwithstanding, because of the lack of proof to show that_any diligence was exercised to obtain that required information. — ~tOe oe Samnmtices The Next Thing. The San Francisco Mining Adyocate, in referring to the Supervisors of Yuba county having granted leave to drift miners to start up operations at Smartsville, says: The next court proceeding in a mining matter will, in all probability, be a petition by some quartz company for a leense to proceed with business, And thereupon a ‘lordly Board of Supervisors in a sleepy valley town will proceed to deliberate whether it shall be allowed to proceed. or be enjoined. The sooner it occurs the better for all mining interests. It. will serve to awaken an interest now apparently lacking, and to arouse the people dependent upon mining to a sense of the insiduous but none the less imminent dangers -approaching them. tee ; Fell Through a Bridge.

NATURE'S MUSEUM, — Nevada County Curiosities—The Biggest Tree~Devil's Night-cap. ‘Mother Pine” is the name given to is situated at Lowell Hill on land beit is small when compared to the giant trees of Calaveras county; but, it is large when compared with Nevada county trees. The ‘circumference of this queen of-the forest in one part of the butt is nearly twenty-eight’ feet ; in another part thirty-two and onehalf feet. If the writer remembers correctly, lightning destroyed the upper part of the tree; therefore, mo man can tell exactly what its height was. Situated near the Backbone House, on the Moore’s Flat road,is that prominent natural feature known as Devil’s Night-cap, an illustration of which ’ was given in Harper’s several years ago. It is a mass of lava cement towering thirty feet, or thereabouts, above the road. The top, which has the appearance of a huge knob, is somewhat larger than the base. —Why-it-is—called Devil’s Night-cap, nobody seems to know ; certainly, its resemblance to anight-cap is but slight. Near by, years ago, stood a saw-mill. One. of the workmen. told the proprietor of this mill that he knew where. there was astump that could not be cut. The owner claimed that he could, cut any stump ‘or tree in the ‘country, When shown ‘the Devil’s Night-cap, the stump to which the.workman re= ferred, the mill proprieto changed his mind. Pieces of cement gradually falling from this freak of ature, and before another ce: tury has passed, Deévil’s Night-cap will be no mora. ‘ Do you ask me for my secret Why my teeth are pearly white?
