Dr. Keating resided for several years at Moore’s Flat, in, this county, and has ‘numerous friends~ hereabouts:~ ‘‘Dr.Keating, who will be remembered as having occupied the position of Resident Surgeon at the Wellington: Hospital, previous to the appointment of Dr. Gillon, was married at St. Paul’s Cathedral Church to-day to Miss Jessie Phillips, of Moreton, Gloucestershire, England. The ceremony was__performed by his Lordship .the Bishop of Wellington, assisted by the Rev. H. J. Lloyd, Keating, M. A., incumbent of Palmerston North, brother of the bridegroom.” a rm Expediting Railroad Time. The Grass Valley Union of y®sterday says: A petition has been numerously signed at Nevada City urging upon Superintendent Towne of the Central Pacific Railroad to expedite the running of the swing train between Sacramento and Colfax. “At present passengers ond mails leaving San Francisco for Colfax at 8 a. M., are detained at Sacramento two hours and forty minutes, and then the train consumes four hours and twenty-seven minutes in reaching Colfax. By this means the passengers and mails do not. reach Grass Valley until 8:45, and Nevada City until 9:18 p.m. This hour is so late that there is but little opportunity to answer business corres~ pondence for the San Francisco ‘mail which leaves at.an early hour on the following mornlng. This running arrangement ig very inconvenient to travelers and business men, and hence the complaint to Superintendent Towne deserves favorable consideration by him. As Grass Valley is similarly inconvenienced by this slow train time it would be well thatthe business men circulate a similar petition to give emphasis to the one that has been forwarded from Nevada City. -_ Just in Time. For four or five-days previous to Wednesday the V Flume, through which the Grass Valley Water works derive their supply, was blocked with ice and some of the residents of our sister town were beginning to calculate as to how long they could exist on undiluted alcoholic beverages.

Eprror Transcripr.—Will you. tell me what constitutes a miner’s inch of water. TENDERFOOT, _‘& miner’s inch is tiie quantity of water which flows from an area of 1 inch square with a pressure of water 6 inches, measured from the top of the aperture of delivery. It has been ascertained by experiment that the quantity of water flowing under such conditions for a period of 24 hours would be 2,230 cubic feet. The standard of pressure varies slightly in different localities, from 4 to 6 inches, but the average has been stated by Mr.James D, Hague to equal 1.5625 cubic feet per minute, 93.75 cubic feet per hour, and 2,250 cubic feet per twenty-four hours, The velocity of 1 inch of water under such conditions (6-inch pressure) would be 3 feet 2 inches per second at the delivery gauge of the waterbox. ‘The water so delivered gains its effective force in proportion to the ‘head’ or vertical distance between the delivery-box and the point of discharge, or nozzle of the miner's pipe.” Meore’s Flat Items. Moore's Fiat, Jan. 26th. William B. Partridge, a native of New York, aged about 54 years, died here last night of pneumonia. He was one of the oldest residents of this place and respected by all.

There was a pleasant surprise party given last evening at the residence of Prof. Kennedy in ‘ompliment to Misses Perkins and Lisson, teachers in the public school. —About.thirty invitations were issued. John Hussey and Philip Gunnip, of -You-Bet, -accompanied by. their ladies, came down night before last to hear Mr. Healy lecture, They were greatly disappointed to learn of the change in programme, but will be here when O'Connor comes, We find the following in the Wellington (New Zealand) Post of December 20th. Dr. Keating resided for several years at Moore’s Flat, in, this county, and has ‘numerous friends~ hereabouts:~ ‘‘Dr.Keating, who will be remembered as having occupied the position of Resident Surgeon at the Wellington: Hospital, previous to the appointment of Dr. Gillon, was married at St. Paul’s Cathedral Church to-day to Miss Jessie Phillips, of Moreton, Gloucestershire, England. The ceremony was__performed by his Lordship .the Bishop of Wellington, assisted by the Rev. H. J. Lloyd, Keating, M. A., incumbent of Palmerston North, brother of the bridegroom.” a rm Expediting Railroad Time. The Grass Valley Union of y®sterday says: A petition has been numerously signed at Nevada City urging upon Superintendent Towne of the Central Pacific Railroad to expedite the running of the swing train between Sacramento and Colfax. “At present passengers ond mails leaving San Francisco for Colfax at 8 a. M., are detained at Sacramento two hours and forty minutes, and then the train consumes four hours and twenty-seven minutes in reaching Colfax. By this means the passengers and mails do not. reach Grass Valley until 8:45, and Nevada City until 9:18 p.m. This hour is so late that there is but little opportunity to answer business corres~ pondence for the San Francisco ‘mail which leaves at.an early hour on the following mornlng. This running arrangement ig very inconvenient to travelers and business men, and hence the complaint to Superintendent Towne deserves favorable consideration by him. As Grass Valley is similarly inconvenienced by this slow train time it would be well thatthe business men circulate a similar petition to give emphasis to the one that has been forwarded from Nevada City. -_ Just in Time. For four or five-days previous to Wednesday the V Flume, through which the Grass Valley Water works derive their supply, was blocked with ice and some of the residents of our sister town were beginning to calculate as to how long they could exist on undiluted alcoholic beverages.

Eprror Transcripr.—Will you. tell me what constitutes a miner’s inch of water. TENDERFOOT, _‘& miner’s inch is tiie quantity of water which flows from an area of 1 inch square with a pressure of water 6 inches, measured from the top of the aperture of delivery. It has been ascertained by experiment that the quantity of water flowing under such conditions for a period of 24 hours would be 2,230 cubic feet. The standard of pressure varies slightly in different localities, from 4 to 6 inches, but the average has been stated by Mr.James D, Hague to equal 1.5625 cubic feet per minute, 93.75 cubic feet per hour, and 2,250 cubic feet per twenty-four hours, The velocity of 1 inch of water under such conditions (6-inch pressure) would be 3 feet 2 inches per second at the delivery gauge of the waterbox. ‘The water so delivered gains its effective force in proportion to the ‘head’ or vertical distance between the delivery-box and the point of discharge, or nozzle of the miner's pipe.” Meore’s Flat Items.
