as as 863" Des tae di t fell during the
late storm,---Somewhat more rain may
fall, as rale,in Nevada City than in
Grass. 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.

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

miles. She persieted in walking be-.

that.our livery men .would not charge
her for a conveyance on such an errand}
“Then let the livery stable men give

she walked. 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.
