Christmas passed off very pleasantly in this eity, notwithstanding the weather was nbt as pleasant as it might have been. On Friday evening it commenced to rain, and there was a lively shower for several bours, which had the effeet to rather dampen the ardor as well as the clothes of our , citizens, and deterred many from enjoying the festivities of the occasion. Christmas trees and appropriate exercises were held at the Catholic, Congregational snd Episcopa! churches, at all of which there}. was & large number, present. We dropped into the latter eharch as the exercises were about being concluded, and found the house filled with young and old, who were beiag liberally dealt with by the pastor, who was acting temporarily as the agent of Santa Claus, The church was magnifftently decorated and was, onthe evening in question, a perfect bower of enchantment. We underbtand the exercises at the other churches were -very interesting, and the treés were loaded down with presents, The party at the Theatre was a very pleasant affair, although the attendance, in eonsequence of the rain, was rather slim, The music was first class, and all who atOn Saturday there were dinners and dinners. The hotels and restaurants all spread feasts eqtal to a holiday occasion. Numerous vessels of "egg nogg stood on counters in different places in town duripg:-the day, and numerous very hadppy individuals could be seen as a consequence thereafter. In the evening the Amateur Dramatic Clyb performed at the Theatre to a crowded house. ‘The plays given were ‘‘The Golden Farmer” and “A Bull in a China ‘sfiop.”” Both plays were rendered in a manner highly creditable to the club. The house was packed in every part, and among all there were but very few criticisms’ made. The performance was superior to most entertainments given here by traveling companies, who make‘such a flourish of trumpets before arriving. We should like to givea review of . the different characters, and mention those who particularly distinguished themselves on the occasion, but we fear all might not agree with our judgment, so we will. yefrain front specifying any particular ones, _ but record the unanimous verdict of the audience, which wes that all did admirably, that the entertainment was a grand success, and that la Pefete Lulu Maltman, was the brightest star of all. We must not forget tomention the fact that the success was in a great measure due to the superior music furnished by . the orchestra, which was composed of Megars.

We believes practical scheme was presented by Fen Miller, of this cuunty, last Winter, in a series of commanieations to the TRanscarrr. At leastit is the best plan we have seen suggested. If there are others better, let them be known. Some meaiis of storing the debris of the mines in the mountain regions must be discovered. J.ets hear what they aré. Mr. Miller's plan was, when made known, favorably commented on by some papers, among which was the Record-Union, In last Saturday's issue it again refers to the subject in the following: “Ip devising sach a scheme we believe that no serious engieering difficulties will have to’ be surmounted, and indeed a practical method has already been suggested by amining engineer (Mr. Miller) whose proposition the Reeord-Union described several months ago. He proposes that the desired end shall be obtained by constructing reservoirsin some of the innumerable small canyors and hollows among the mountains—places which are wholly useless for any purpose whatever, at present, and which would actually be utilized by the: process suggested, Into these natural tanks or reservoirs the flames and ditches should be emptied. Theye the waters would rapidly detheir heavy detritus, and thence they eould be reconducted to the rivers by convenient wasteweirs and sluices, In afew months the first seriés of reservoirs would be filled up, and the ditches could be conducted to fresh lecalities; but in drawing of the waters some acres of soil would be found deposited, and would afford the ba{lions of dollars,on a [owl accounts are settled by the balancing) .9490 Imperial 934 i of credits, instead ‘of the transfer of . . evin. . 6d checks updén other banks, and 4/. porter from each has to go the . tities of coin islapor, anad the } attendant incon¥gn ence, is eensiderable, and is entirely obviated by the clearing system. t this is the slightest of its benefits, At the Bobdon or house the accounts adjusted daily average twenty million pounds.

If the banking system in San Francisco were carried to the highest degree of perfection, the capital invested in it could be made to do} much more work. The establishing .

In connection with the portion of the President’s Message recommending the taxation of all church prorerty throughout the country without exception, the public will be interested in knowing the amount of property held by each ofthe various religious denominations in the year 1870, when the last natiopal census was taken, It will be seen that the blow which the President aims at sectarianism would fall most heavily on his owm denomination—the Methodist—and that he hee greatly exaggerated the amount of church propless, as is quite improbable, the total of $354,483,581, which, according to the census, they owned in 1870, has trebled in the interval of the past five years. The total was divided up as follows: ; sis for cultivation. In this way the . proceeds of hydraulic mining, instead of inflicting damage and destruction upon the valley lands, would gradually enlarge the cultiva‘ble area in the mountains, and by repairing the effects. of systematic denudation by Monitors and Little Giants, might even tend to restore the climate equilibrium at present 80 seriously threatened by the processes being carried on throughout the tnining regions.’ ‘The , Territorial Enterprise also favors the same thing, in. the follewing which appearel in its Saturday’s issue: There are in the fvothills of California many millions of acres of land unfit‘for cultivation. The bed rock is close to the surface, making the land of no use to the husbandman. ‘The rivers should be dammed bigh enodgh in the hills to turn their streams upon * these. worthless lands, and reservoir succeeding reservoit should be built until the waters running from one to the other become clear enough to turn back into their original channels, or ‘better still to be conducted to become g blessing’ to the land vehere they now areucurse. .This is a great work, but its cost can ‘be estimuted while the damage being done even now by the debris cannot be estimated. ‘The two questions—to provide for water for the lands in the vulley and to provide against the destruction because of the debris being carried down by -the wa‘ler-—areé presented together to the present Culifornia Legislature. The remedy for both evils is the same, Lhe duty is plain. ‘The only queson is how_to proceed,’’ eee ee Attempted Thett. Some ingenious parties, "without thé fear of Goud, before their eyes, constructed an instrament which we should call a bam hook or bacon nipper, and, by the skillful use of the same, attempted to reach in over the lattice work front doors of Naffziger’s batcher.sbop, and transfer from their hanging places, divers fine, fat, well smoked’ hams; but the hook om the long polé somehow would lose its hold upon the meat beforeit could be brought outside, and the uperators had to go away unrewarded for’ their iugenuity ond * aia efforts. oe Reformed aOR acu bcuseees 16.134,470 Lathereans. . sae este reasons 14,911, 747 The ridsaining $35,000,000 being distributed between seventeen other denominations. are correct is vouched forina note copendium of the census, reading as follows: ‘ f lieved to be substa tantially: “exact and to present a just view of tbe organization of the several ‘religious denoniinations fownd within the United States.”’ It is w coincidence that the Roman Catholics, who number just about one-seventh of the population.pf the country, are credited in. the census with possessing just one-seventh of the church property in the United States.—N.

We believes practical scheme was presented by Fen Miller, of this cuunty, last Winter, in a series of commanieations to the TRanscarrr. At leastit is the best plan we have seen suggested. If there are others better, let them be known. Some meaiis of storing the debris of the mines in the mountain regions must be discovered. J.ets hear what they aré. Mr. Miller's plan was, when made known, favorably commented on by some papers, among which was the Record-Union, In last Saturday's issue it again refers to the subject in the following: “Ip devising sach a scheme we believe that no serious engieering difficulties will have to’ be surmounted, and indeed a practical method has already been suggested by amining engineer (Mr. Miller) whose proposition the Reeord-Union described several months ago. He proposes that the desired end shall be obtained by constructing reservoirsin some of the innumerable small canyors and hollows among the mountains—places which are wholly useless for any purpose whatever, at present, and which would actually be utilized by the: process suggested, Into these natural tanks or reservoirs the flames and ditches should be emptied. Theye the waters would rapidly detheir heavy detritus, and thence they eould be reconducted to the rivers by convenient wasteweirs and sluices, In afew months the first seriés of reservoirs would be filled up, and the ditches could be conducted to fresh lecalities; but in drawing of the waters some acres of soil would be found deposited, and would afford the ba{lions of dollars,on a [owl accounts are settled by the balancing) .9490 Imperial 934 i of credits, instead ‘of the transfer of . . evin. . 6d checks updén other banks, and 4/. porter from each has to go the . tities of coin islapor, anad the } attendant incon¥gn ence, is eensiderable, and is entirely obviated by the clearing system. t this is the slightest of its benefits, At the Bobdon or house the accounts adjusted daily average twenty million pounds.

If the banking system in San Francisco were carried to the highest degree of perfection, the capital invested in it could be made to do} much more work. The establishing .

In connection with the portion of the President’s Message recommending the taxation of all church prorerty throughout the country without exception, the public will be interested in knowing the amount of property held by each ofthe various religious denominations in the year 1870, when the last natiopal census was taken, It will be seen that the blow which the President aims at sectarianism would fall most heavily on his owm denomination—the Methodist—and that he hee greatly exaggerated the amount of church propless, as is quite improbable, the total of $354,483,581, which, according to the census, they owned in 1870, has trebled in the interval of the past five years. The total was divided up as follows: ; sis for cultivation. In this way the . proceeds of hydraulic mining, instead of inflicting damage and destruction upon the valley lands, would gradually enlarge the cultiva‘ble area in the mountains, and by repairing the effects. of systematic denudation by Monitors and Little Giants, might even tend to restore the climate equilibrium at present 80 seriously threatened by the processes being carried on throughout the tnining regions.’ ‘The , Territorial Enterprise also favors the same thing, in. the follewing which appearel in its Saturday’s issue: There are in the fvothills of California many millions of acres of land unfit‘for cultivation. The bed rock is close to the surface, making the land of no use to the husbandman. ‘The rivers should be dammed bigh enodgh in the hills to turn their streams upon * these. worthless lands, and reservoir succeeding reservoit should be built until the waters running from one to the other become clear enough to turn back into their original channels, or ‘better still to be conducted to become g blessing’ to the land vehere they now areucurse. .This is a great work, but its cost can ‘be estimuted while the damage being done even now by the debris cannot be estimated. ‘The two questions—to provide for water for the lands in the vulley and to provide against the destruction because of the debris being carried down by -the wa‘ler-—areé presented together to the present Culifornia Legislature. The remedy for both evils is the same, Lhe duty is plain. ‘The only queson is how_to proceed,’’ eee ee Attempted Thett. Some ingenious parties, "without thé fear of Goud, before their eyes,
