THURSDAY MOBNING. DEC. 22. cern a A EE EERE “Affairs at the Eureka Mine, The street talk all day Tuesday, says the Grass Valey Union, was about the state of matters at the Eureka mine. It was understood that the mine was paying off ites hands,aud that Mr. Watt, the Superintendent, would take stringent measures to prevent the Company srom being robbed. The cause of the state of affairs we hinted at yesterday. We give now all the facts we have learned. On Sunday morning last, at 2 o’clock,and after all the underground miners had left the mine, two watch~ men were in charge of the hoisting works. .One of these watchmen went away a short distance to take his regular meal, as ig customary, leaving the etheron guard While one was absent the other on watch saw a man go to the trap over the old shaft and enter the mine. A ladder at the old shaft allowed the man to descend into the mine. This man who sneaked into the mine is known to the watchman. The sneak had evidently gone down to raise such specimens of rock as he had hid before that time, in underground places. The watchman waited until the rogue had come up again, and then the thief ’ halted at the muzzle of the watchman’s pistol. The watchman commanded the thief to threw up his bands, and the hands were very promptly thrown up. While this was going on the watchman ‘heard an approaching foowtep~ behind him, but he supposed that his fellow watchman was approaching. The first thing the watchman who hed. halted the thief, knew, a blow from a stone or a stick took the watchman on the head and staggered him. The thief and his confederate then ran off, the watchman recovering and firing at the retreating meh. It is supposed that one shot must have taken effect, as one of the thieves gave a lusty yell of pain. The thieves escaped, for the present. Mr. Watt determined to sift the matter to the bottom, and on Monday morning stopped mining underground at the Eureka. The mill will run ahead as usual, there being plenty of rock to employ it for a month or more. Nota dividend to stockholders will be .lost by the discharge of men underground. The Company can well afford to rest in “mining, while this specimen stealing matter is set rigbt. It becomes the duty of the honest men, who have been working underground at the Eureka to assist in exposing the specimen stealers, who disgrace the name of giners, and we believe they will doit, A few bad men have brought on the trouble, and the many good ones should see that the acts of the bad ones are punished. Tue RalnoaD Ropsers.—The Enterprise of the 20th, contains a full report of the trial of the railroad robbers, which ended in the conviction of sll those except J. C. Roberts, of Long Valley, and James Gilchrist, who turned State’s evidence. The parties judicted were A. J. Davis, E. B. Par~ sons, J. C, Roberts, James Gilchrist, T. Cockerell, R. A. Jones, J. H. Chapman and John Squeers. Thvy all, ex. cept Jones, who pleaded guilty, are ordered to appear for sentence. on Saturday next. Junes, who was recommended to the mercy of the Court by the prosecuting attorneys, was sentenced to five years. The most remarkable fact connected with this bold robbery is that within four weeks it was planned, executed, all the parties arrested, $40, of the stolen money recovered (the amount taken. being $41,000), and all the participants convicted of the crime. ee Ir is proposed to erect a hospital in New York tor the cure of tobucco chew ersand smokers. — LAND in London is worth $3,000,000 per acre. is THE first iron eypelies steamer for iver service at the West has just been Tauached at Cincinnati. 4 beac. ame i i ° ’ i NEARLY as much water has already fallen in the vicinity of Weaverville as fell during all of last year. Catholic Service. the following for publication : ly God for the most stupendous mystery that has ever been proposed to the Faith of man, the most extraordinary and the most divine event which the annals of the world and of Religion can exhibit—namely: the Incarnation and the birth of Him whom “Abraham saw in Spirit and was glad; the Hope of the nations, and the Glory of His people Israel,” the birth of the Godman ;.as she does so. with a celebration as she breaks the still dead silence of the night with the words of the Angelic Choir, with their “Gloria in excelsis.Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bons voluntatis ;” with her first Mass of joy, and repeats it again as the East reddens with the dawn, and still again when the sun is shining in fall day, so the order of the celebration aef this most solemn Festival of Christmas Day, in the Catholic Church. of this city, will be as follows: There will be three Masses—First _Mass will commence at midnight ; Second Mass at 8 o'clock, A.M; Third Mass at 11 o'clock, A. M. First Mass will be a sung Mass, (Missa Cantata) as also will the last Mass, by a select choir composed of Mr. Chase, organist, and several ladies and gentlemen whe are foremost amongst the many of our citizens endowed with no ordinary talent. The Fair. oe The Sacramento Record, speaking df the withdrawal of the lottery scheme recently started in this city, says : The lottery scheme referred to is not the same (we presume) which was started some nionths ago in Nevada City, and known as the “Cosmopolitan Fair.” The tickets in that enterprise are understvooa to be nearly all sold,and the public would like to be informed when the Fair commences. Will the Nevada papers throw a light on the subject ? The public have alresdy heen informed when the Fair commenced. We would inform the Record that it is now in progress, and the drawing of prizes will commence on the 27th of the present month. Grass VALLEY ITems.—We get the following from the Grass Valley Union : A few evenings since two miners employed at the Baltic. Company’s claims, en Randolph ridge, started from Grass Valley to the diggings. They had proceeded to a point just below Greenwood cemetery, when a California lion stood in the road with blood in hiseye. The miners went on but not until the large, ugly beast had been frightened away. D:niel Deabers, a miner at the North Star, had his arm severely cut yesterday morning by a rock which fell from the roof of the mine, upon him. The muscular part of the left. forearm, ao inch below the elbow joint, was cut to the bone. — , A Narrow Gaver’ Roap.— The Appeal, after quoting opinions of en~ gineers familiar with the cost of con. struction and working of narrow gauge roads, already published in the TransckrpT, speaking of a road from Nevada to & Valley and Marysville says: T4ese authorities on the subject . are certainly important, and Tead ug to believe that a narrow gauge road can be constracted on such a comparatively econotnical p'an as will not only bring the enterprise readily within the means of the people to be immediately benefited by the Nevada and Marysville road, but also to make the road such a paying enterprise as to offer a superiot inducement for the investment of capital. Grass Valley Lyceum. ; At Grass Valley a Lyceum has been’ organized, and at the first meeting the following queation is to be discussed : Resolved that the policy of Bismarck is detrimental to the world. Haur of all the oi! cloth manufactured in the United States comes from Maine. A GIRL, only sixteen years old is in jail in Dartford, Wisconsin, for horse stealing. peculiar to this Feast of Christnias; . ] rom bis custody.” actually moving in the matter of con. jolee and be exceedingly glad, to.glorithe rest of the world by a railroad. There are three routes. proposed. says the Stockton Republican, and each has its friends and advocates. © The Colfax route has lost many of its friends and will hardly be. the one selected. To connect with the California and Oregon road at Wheatland is another route, which. has many advocates and it is suid Sacramento City offers a liberal donation if this is adopted. A road from Nevada City connecting-at Wheat:. land would turn all travel from Nevada county through Sacramento. The third and apparently the most popular route is to connéct at Marysville, and: ‘if this survey should be adopted the Central Pacific folks will lose the freight and. passenger trade, for the freight will leave or take water at Marysville and travel to and from San Francisco, and will pass over the Cal. shortest and best.route. If the cost of constructing the road from Nevada to Marysville does not foot up greatly in excess of that of either the Colfax or Wheatland surveys we would suppose the Marysville route would be the one selected, as if, will give a connection with two competing railroads and water navigation. The river junction is of vast importance and will weigh heavily in favor of Marysville, Ail railroads must yield to water in the transportation of freight, and itis for this purpose Nevada county needs a railroad. The Feather river will always hold a check over high frefght charges to Marysville. Nevada City should connect herself with Marysville by means of a narrow gauge railroad. A road of this kind is the cheapest to build and will cost much less to run. Sacha read, while it will meet all the requireportation, will be less likely to fall into the hands of the Central Pacific'Company. Vick’s Floral Guide, We have received Vick’s Floral Guide for 1871. This pamhplet contains two beautiful colored plates of flowers and numerous illustrations: of flowers and vegetables, It is neatly printed on tinted paper, and contains full instructions for planting seeds, transplanting, etc. This excellent publication is sent to all who desire it fer ten cents. It contains’a description of the seeds kept by Vick, and cuts illustrating the kind of flowers and vegetables produced. Now is the time for those who want to prepare for Spring gardening to order. Address James Vick, Rochester, New York. THE family of a wealthy merchant of Hamburg, who had remained a long ‘time in ignorance of the fate of the only son of the house, a private of the German army in France, were over. joyed the other day when they received a letter from him informing them that he had been seriously wounded, but had entirely recovered. The father had just finished the letter and laid it away, when the old grandmother remarked that some words were written on the back of the letter. Ic contained the announcement from the Colonel of the regiment that their boy had been written the letter. —_— AN Englishman whoescaped from Par is on the 19th ult., writes to a London journal that the supply of horse-flesh excluding artillery horses, was ample for three or four weeks atleast. There was in addition a supply of salt meat held in reserve. Thé stores of bread and flour were, when he left of enormous magnitude. The public granaries were crammed with sacks of wheat and in hundreds of private houses and hotels there were quantities of sacks hid safely by. The supply of chocolate salt and spices would hold out as long as the breadstuffs, ConsTABLE Barley, of El Dorado county, who last year killed « robber he was trying to arrest, killed a Mexiean horse thief near le Sprin Thureday, who a oe ~s pr wos % o. aye RartRoap To Nevapa Ciry.—The .

Dr. Usseii eays it is now very plain that the designers of the Paris forte put the forts, with the exception of Valerieu and the Double Couronne, too near the city, and placed them on the inner line of heights instead of occupying the outer ridges. Had the heights over St. Cloud or Montretout, Meudon and Clamart been covered with works like Valerien the difficulties of a besieging army would have been prodigious, ifornia Pacific Railroad, that being the and Paris within its double enciente would have had;a long life ef it.— The same remarks apply to the north~ west and north of Paris.
