iL te D ASs. be 4) heir volcity ipid 7 & ror ce, iced her ret AW. , the st. cit ity ine, 131 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, Forest SPRInGs—Earraquaxkss, _Mrxgs AND DANOES.—A correspondent, us writing from Forest Springs, gives the following items: SO NUGEY ‘The earthquake shock on Sunday evening was quite severe. The vibra" tions continued about ten seconds, from southeast to northwest. It jarred the house and hedved it up and down, just ‘as if it were lifted from beneath. The old Norumbagua mine is being opened by Wm. Sutton & Co., under a five years’ lease. The mine is still good as it was before being purchased by Cronise & Co. for $100,000, but on account of mismanagement in Cronise’s . si hands, it failed to pay, and was closed down nearly two years ago, and has remained idle until Sutton & Co. leased it lately. There is a tunnel of 1,100 feet in length, which was run at an average éxpense of $35 per foot by the old company, fromi which the present company propose taking the rock, instead of hoisting it up the old incline. The tunnel. will be extended eighty-five feet, tapping the ledge at water level. . : There is no doubt the mine will pay under the present management, Mr. , ~ Sutton having worked in it for eleven years, and knowing just where the pay rock lies and just what expense the mine will bear. The old quartz mill . will be put in running order soon, and used by the present company. ; Perrin’s mine near by it has been _ paying large profits, and there.is every indication ef itscontinuing. Two other ledges which have always paid,but have not been worked regularly for want of capital, are going’to work in the Spring, so the prospects are good for Forest Springs being @ lively camp again. _ Christmas passed off pleasantly, the people erecting a Christmas tree and engaging in the merry dance on Friday evening. The tree was very fine, being richly laden with gifts, and would commore pretentions. THE EaRTHQUAKE S#Hocn.—The shocks of Sunday night appear to have been felt at every point in the county, and though there is: some variation in opinion as to the direction, the prepon. derance of testimony seems to be that the vibrations were from West to East, or possibly southwest to northeast. A __Sorrespondent, writing from Birchville, . Bridgeport township, says the shock on Sunday night occurred at 12 minutes to6 by San Francisco time, and that the duration was about five seconds, In this city two slight shocks were felt on Monday evening, between § and ten minutes past 8 o’clock, and .some persons felt one at half past 12 o’clock yesterday morning. “They were of the same motion as those preceding. CHANGE oF TimgE.—The new time table of ‘the Central and Western Pacific Railroads will go into effect the first day of January 1870: The up bound express will leave San Francisco at 8 a. M.; Sacramento, at 2 P.M.; and arrive at Colfax by 5:50 Pp. Mm. The down express will leave Colfax at 9:20 A.M.; Sacramento, at 1:10 P.M.; and arrive at San Francisco by 7:30 P. M. The mail and emigrant train will leave San Francisco at 4 p.M.; Sacramento, at 4:30 the next morning, and arrive atColfax by 11:45 4.M. . . _ SatcHEL Founp.—A satchel, which was found on the ridge road, between this place and Grass Valley has been left at this office for the owner, It contains an account. book, some letters and papers, and among the former is one directed to Mrs. Ann Tracy, Sierra Valley, from Sisson, Egbert & Co., Truckee. There are also sundry toilet articles: for which we have no use. The owner ' Can get the article by sending to this _ Office, _ Waren PLEenty.—We learn vhat the recent storms have given abundance of water in all the mining ditches below this city. Should such weather as Wehad yesterday continue for a short ume, the ice would melt and the miners _ Would be able to.go to work in every part of the county, THe Lrrerany Socrery Box ie tidans . est of the publi¢in the He on made more fun than _of the season.

TakeN Awax—A hat, broad brimmed and Black stringed, was violently . snatched from the head uf a lady by old Boreas, afew days since. This, to say . the least, was a very ungallant act on the part of the “old . blower” especially since he refused to drop the hat within reach of the owner. _ A Lrwx.—A veritable lynx was killed by Nat Bailey and Alex Gault, on the tr It measured about 2} feet “froin tip to tip, and probably weighed 18 or pounds. They also captured a fox and three hares. io Snow.—The snow at Eareka is from eighteen inches to two feet deep and on the Washington ridge it, is from a foot to sixteen inches. ed TakE Novick Evreryrnopy.—Nick Slocovich informs the. people of this city that on and after today (Deo.24) he will ‘sell any article that can b bought at the Dollar Store for $1 (if he has the same) for 75 cents. In other words he will sell goods 25 cents on a. dollar less than any one else d24-tf he Great Medical Mistake, Of former days was an utter neglect of sanitary precautions. No efficient means wére adopted for the prevention of sickness. Sewerage was unknown in cities; drainage was rarely attempted in the country. Heaps of offal were lett to rot in the public streets, and domestic cleanliness, the great antidote to febrile diseases, was sadly neglected. It is not so. now. Wise laws, philanthropic institutions, and a vigilant sanitaty police, have, to a great extent, remedied the evil. Noris this all, PREVENTIVE MEDICATION has helped materially to lessen the rates of mortality. It is not too much to say that TENs OF THOESANDS escape sickness in unhealthy seasons in consequence of having INvIeoRATED THEIR SYSTEMS IN ADNANCE by a course of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS. This pure and powerful vegetable tonic and alterative comprises the extracts and essences of a variety of roots and herbs, renowned for their strengthening, soothing, vitalizing and purifying properties. These medicinia] agents are incorporated with a spirit absolutely free from the acrid poison which defiles, more or less, all the liquors of commerce, and their effect is diffused through the whole frame by this active, yet harmless stimulant, The result is such a condition of the system as renders it ALL BUT L1PERVIOUS to the exterior causes of disease, such as damp, fog, sudden alternations of tempeature, &c.—Strength, andthe perfect regularity of all the functions of the body, are the best safeguards against atmospheric poison and the effects: of unwholesome water, and HOSTETTER’S BIT. TERS are the best strenghening and regulating medicine at present known. For dyspepsia and biliousness they are & SPECIFIC ABSOLUTE. ~— —> CH.
