some Valley Union commenting upon gauges says : ~ ai Reval t jenear a cs nag 18 Grass ve t in "thes piv disusne I, of she -98 ages is ee wrong: It may be ‘hat bol ae Sas : eothaney odio at Supreme Court, it has its significance.

Valley, but mot as much more as is given by the. measgrements we have quoted. The, measureménts, may, net have been taken at the same. hour, but we think the Union is mistaken in stating the Nevada City gauge is’ incorrect. The gauge used. here is made by Ten~ nent. & Co.;’mathematical instrument ~*mnakers, Sen Francisco, and it is accom. panied by a measure marked on the . outside, made. by. the. same firm. ‘The . opening at the top is about four inches square. Th's is the same. gauge used at Sacramento and San Francisco for measuring’ the rain‘fall. Some years agothe South Yaba Canal. Company had @ cylindrical gauge and it was ~eomplained of as“mak ‘too much.” It was répinced by the" gauge and it was found thatthe old gauge ae did not, measure, enough. What we understand by the: Smithsonion gauge isa narrow cylinder, in which a stick is runto ascertain the depth of water, which is then measured with a rule. We suppose this is what is used at Grass Valley. The rain fall of Nevada is always. heavier than at Grass Valley and the difference in the last storm might be easily acconnted for by the variableness of the wind aad rain, Bat the Unien says: . . Nevada City and. psa Valley are nearly of the same elevation, and there one bes differerice Of 1:77 inches of fall in a regular and gentle rain, ona as was the last so storm. The. rain pepe shoald get their heads together. The rain was’ anything but regular and gentle in ‘this locality, On the first night the rain was very heavy . and at times since it rained with con-. siderablé force. But something de~ pends on the location as well as the altitude for rain falls. Nevada is located in a basin which is a condénser of ~ clouds, and probably gives more rain ' to our locality than any of the same.altitude on the Oe THE Raiunoap. — . The . Marysville Standard says Mesers Ellis, Patterson, Sexey commenced a canvass of the city for subscriptions to the funds necessary to make @ temporary survey over the proposed route of the Marysville and Nevada Railroad. The Committee were well received by property owners and every clans of citizens, and as far as the Committee had proceeded last night, the amounts subscribed were equal to their expectations. The importance of this enterprise is so generally admitted—the builditig’ of the road se essential to the general prosperity of Marysville, that itv-would be singular indeed, ifany citizen would be found, who would refuse to lend all the aid in his power to advance the work. It seems to us ofthe utmost. importance to move now in earnest concert with the people of Nevada. If the present undertaking fails, uo Railroad-will be built to Nevada in our day, if ever. / Rotl of Honor. The following names are on the roll of honor of North San Juan Grammar » School, for the month of December, 1870, T. J, Lyon teacher: Misses G. _\ Hesseltine, C. McCoy, C. Bowen, A. ‘ Carion, A. J. Hughes, A, Hughes.— BS wenecge M nend gear R volving the same_principles and more ‘onerous upon the people was signed by against railroad subsidies took the form of harmless as’ well as: useless letters, published after the adjournment of the ‘Legislature, in which.he endeavored to show that he was a Democratic leader in this respect. The Governor's position was shown to be inconsistent and untenable by the letters of John R, McConnell, in answer. © The truth of ‘the matter is, no question has been raised that Governor Haight has not beén upon both sides of. An opponent of gam-bling and-lotteries, he signed the mer. cantile Library bill, knowing it to be a “direst Opposition ts the letter and spirit” of the Constitutioti, and now he is ex. erting liimself to dose the door which he has operied, A”professed Christian, and an advocate for the obsdrvance of the Sabbath, he signed the bill repealing the Sunday law. While vetoing . hills ‘providing for opening streets and . iprovements in San Frantisco, on the ground of injustice, he, as an act of justice signed a bill where property in which he was interested was involved, and lastly, while an avowed and zeal~ ous opponent of subsidies, he helped, by his signature, a bill issuing road bonds to the ‘sum of $50,000 in Marin county, and making it a misdemeanor, punishable with fine and imprisonment: for any officer of the egunty, to fail to carry out the law. He also approved a bill taxing Plumas nineteen per cent. of all its taxable property for a railroad that never had any existence, without submitting the tax to a vote of the people. Who the Governor has under his wing we do not know, but if he: thinks and acts like his Excellency, the State cat afford to dispense with his services, The strongest candidate for the Democratic nomination, now appears to. be Congressman Johnson. He has much strength in his district and also in San Francisco. Watt and. Haight being out of the ring, Johnson: has . probably more positive strength than any,man yet mentioned, A CORRESPONDENT of the Healde~ butg Flag, writing frem Ukiah City, January 8d, gives the. following par‘ticulars of a late murder at Point Arena: On Thursday last a mun named Gooden, slightly the worse for liquor, went to a saloon at Conway’s Landing and rode his male into the house. The cook at the establishment, McCormack, ordered him out, and on his refasal shot him through the right arm, Gooden drew his pistol and shot at another man who had given the pistol to McCormack, missing him, and then left for Point Arena, day McCormack stepped up behind him, a8 he was standisg on the hotel porch, and shot him with a revolver, killing him almost inetantly. The murderer fled, and when my informant left had not been arrested. McCors mack isthe man who ‘was in jail here a year or two ago on a charge of arson, and escaped for insufficient evidence} He is about five feet six, light built, but high, square shoulders, square, lean jaws, brown hair, light eyes, and A quartz ledge was recently dis. covered by Andrew Sandersonjon Rails road Flat, Calaveras couaty,from which nine tons have yielded $107 per ton.— ". ie han aaa it “The Champion reg Moeusieled epee be one of], . walk dow Theve theif distress: ~ The weathi was few hours after our: fossa was dice ‘the particulars of the caae. “These were given’ and the ‘lady ‘sid whe! ‘woald "Barr Svcan.—The total product of . a Tar CHINESE MovinG.—Tbé& heads of the six) Chigese companies of San Francisco it seems are taking steps to NNIVERSARY BALL! ‘Quarter ‘the eager product of the world, .

There is no benevolent society in Grass Valley, but when such charitable. women are here no such so~ ciety is needed.,. Last Saturday two accidents occurred at the Banner:mine. William Pinch fell down the shaft for the distance of one hundred feet, which resulted ina fracture of the right arm, about half eweybetwoon the elbow sad-wriat} joints, and several . bruiser on the body.
The wonder is that the man was not killed outright. Dr. Manson was callto the case and reduced the fracture. The wounded man isdoing well, About an .hour after the occurrence above mentioned, Edward Ruper, at the sane mine, was iojured slightly in the knee joint by acar running off the track. Dr, Manson attended tothe wound. The reconstructed . mill of the EmGold Mining Company: started up yesterday morning, and was put to crushing quartz, Perfect success attended the starting, witid’ 6verything worked well, ' The stamps were dropped 78 times per minute, and. when the machinery gets smooth the stamps will be dropped 80 times a minute. The rock being put through the mill is excellent, Pretty Bie:Raisu.--The:City Truastees of Savramento, acting as a Board of Equalization, last Saturday, raised the valuation put upon real prcperty belonging to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, from $70,000 to $150,000; on their_personal property, from $80,000 to $180,000. The aggregate raise is $180,000. WruiiaM Reese, of Oregon Gulch, Batte county; was found murdered in tront of his house and quartz mill, on Monday last. He had been shot in the back of the head, and it is believed a quantity of amalgam was stolen from the house. A man who had been in the vicinity three days, who gave his name as Robert McDonald, is suspected of the murder. . He is still at large. Frank Counts, says the Elko Independent, of January 7th, one of the young men arrested on a charge of horse stealing, and who, it will be re~ membered, had his feet badly frozen in trying to escape into Idaho at the time, has had both of .aem taken off during the present week. Dr. Meigs perform~ ed the operation, taking his left foot off just above the ancle, and the right one below, leaving him only a part of one foot to go on hereafter, The patient bore up under the operation manfully, and thinks hig present afflictions may redound to his good by making an honest man of himin the future, We hope so.
