The fire. ‘men were the feature of the procession, and presented-ahighly. ereditable appearance, the Grass Valley boys turned~out in fine style and . full force. The Light Guard also made a good showing, while the “Young America’’ marine representation received numerous congratulatory remarks. The ‘‘Car of Liberty,’’ with Miss Eliza Cornell as Goddess, surrounded by the fair young representatives of the States of the Union, was, as usual, a very attract ive nent) It was unfortunate the large sized fire cracker. It is said that the bomb had been thrown in the street with the fuse lighted, and that as the boy was passing it -exploded. A man, whose name we did not learn, was also quite badly burned about the neck and shoulders by the same dangerous explosive. -More Arrrpavits.—Mrs. Fair's case has been again before the Court, on motion fora new trial. The testimony as to the improper conduct of the juror Beach, was fortified by other affidavits from Deputy Postmaster Peel, Robert Bell, Chas. Dunn, E. H. Gaylord, 8. B. Weller, car could not follow the line of march, its length rendering dangerous the residents of the town of Truekee.— . They all go to show the same fact, to be ‘‘dropped out’’ of line on two) turning of sharp corners, as it had occasions, and did notgo up Broad street at all. In the procession we noticed two miniature carriages manned by miniature firemen, who appeared equally zealous and gallant as their full grown brethren. ' The procession formed in the following order: Ist. Marshal and his Aids; 2d. Washington Brass Band; 3d. Nevada Light Guard; 4th. 37 ‘Young Americans’’ dressed as marines; 5th. Car of Liberty; 6th. Four horse carriage, containing the President of the day, the Orator, and Chaplain; 7th. Two horse carriage, containing Chairman of Committee of Arrangements, Chaplain, Readerand Declaimer; 8th. Dewey's Brass Band; 9th. Protection Hose Company of Grass Valley; 10th. Nevada Hose Company No. 1; 11th. Eagle Hose Company of Grass Valley; 12th. Pennsylvania Engine Co. No. 2 of this city; 13th, miniature Hose carriages; 14th. Grocers; 15th. Butchers, represented by Jas. Colley and Jas. Monro, The heat evidently interfered with participation by citizens and visitors in the procession, and instead of ‘‘citizens and visitors on horses,’’ the rear was brought up by a precocious youth on a till more precocious donkey, At about 12 o’clock the procession was halted in front of the Theatre, and dismissed, The firemen and military repaired to their respective halls, or remainedat the Theatre to await the conclusion of the exercises there, before indulging in the ‘‘pleasant pastime’’ of lunch. The Theatre was soon filled to overflowing, a large. proportion of the audience consisting of ladies and children. The exercises consisted of music by the Washington Band; prayer by. Rev. A. P. Anderson; chorus by Nevada Choral Society— “God Reep our country free,” ete.; reading of the Declaration by John * A. M, Walker, and W. H. Wells, all namely, the bias of the juror Beach. Many a new trial has been granted upon a weaker showing than is made in this case by most reliable witnessess. IrrigaTinG CanaL.—The work of constructing anirrigating canal along the west side of the San Joaquin, from the bend in the river to Antioch, is progressing rapidly. The width of the canalis forty-eight feet on the top, the depth six feet, and with a full force of 400 teams the work advances at the rate of half a mile a day. The men employed on the canal are mostly farmers who lost their crops last year and this, and are now working to procure seed for another crop. Since the canal was commenced, and its completion placed . beyond doubt, the agricultural land on the west side of the valley has doubled in value. . Frencu Exxecrions.—The supplementary elections in France, so far as reported, have resulted in favor of the moderate Republicans. A few of the radical candidates only have been elected, while the candidates favored by the league, of anti-monarchical journals, have been successful, So far as it goes, this result looks like an indorsement of the Thiers’ government, and strengthens the hope that a plebiscite would decide in favor of a Republic on a plan indicated by the policy Thiers has thus far so successfully pursued. UNvVEILED.—The large bronze bust of Washington Irving, in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, Was unveiled on the Ist instant, in presence of 15,000 persons. The oration was delivered by Henry Ward Beecher, He spoké of the custom amoung the Greeks of eentive to the efforts. of talent and ‘preferable to retaimjtig in office the present inctifiibent. His arrogance and extravagance, his want of sympathy with the masses of the people, and total inability to comprehend their wants and condition, make him entirely unfit for the position which he holds. The changing of school books, carried out by his instigation, lias cost the people of the State some $200,000, without any corresponding benefit. We should not accuse Fitzgerald of having a direct interest in the transaction, but if not, he allowed himself to be the tool of sharpers and swindlers, His place should be filled by not only an honest man, self to be used as the tool of others. Declaration of Intention. John M. Williams and Dayid 0. Williams, natives of Wales, yesterday made declaration in the Clerk’s office, of their intention to become} citizens. ae Rartr0oaD MisMANAGEMENT.—The Bulletin of July 1st contains the following signed by Peter Craig: Last Monday, Alexander Thomson, a resident of Nevada City, died in San Francisco, leaving two orphan children at the lodging house where he had been stopping, who had never before been away from Nevada, where they were born and always lived. On Tuesday I started to Nevada by the morning train of the Central Pacific Railroad, takingthe ehildren with me. The body was carefully packed in a coffin and inclosed in a box,.which was-distinctly Thomson, Colfax,’’ and delivered to the freight agent on Davis street. I also saw the proper entry made on the way bill, and paid $5 60 freight. Upon our arrival at Colfax, I found that through the 5 -sohionmsigr of rt employees of the Company, the y ed been left at Galt, between Stockton and Sacramento. As the funeral -had been the next morning, of course this contretemps was very disagreeable, and indeed the children were almost. distracted. Upon applying to the persons in charge of the office at Colfax, not only myself, but a committee of Masons sent from Nevada to receive the body, were treated with gross incivility, and itwas not till after repeated applications that we sueceeded in having the box forwarded from Galt, for which having already paid the full rate of transportation, we were charged the additional sum of $10. This is a plain statement of facts, in attestation of which I sign my eipep this communication. I des’ of getting redress from Neca but ods ought to be some remedy for such négligence, discourtesy and extortion. Tue author of a_ biographical sketch, in Nature, of John Herschel, who has just died at the age of 79, says that indirectly he may be regarded as the father of photography, inasmuch as he announeed in 1819 thé property of the hyposulphite of soda to ‘dissolve newly precipitated chloride of silver almost as readily as sugar.”” ‘*Tothis property alone it was owing that, twenty years after, Daguerre was enabled to practically realize the hopes of Davy and Wedgewood, that the photographic pictures they had already obtained might one day be fixed and preserved. BenyaMiw Franklin left, in 1791, to Boston and Philadelphia, each £1,000, to be loaned in small sums to mechanics. He calculated the fund would reach in one hundred years, over $650,000, and gave directions as to itsin¢estment. The Boston Travelersaya the Boston fund amounts to $142,068 90\and-ts well invested, but the Philadelphia fund) is less than $50,000. en a Bririsx territory in India has recently been the theatre of a formidable Kookie raid. A daughter of a Kookie chief having ‘died, .a number with her deadbody, and his subjects loyally proceeded across the frontier to collect the requisite material.

In 1860 slaves were counted as property. Valuing 5,000,000 slaves at an average price of $300, accounts for the act of emancipation. Separating the two sections, the South has largely decreased in wealth, the falling off being nearly 50 per cent, while the rest of the ¢ountry has increased from $6,500,000,000 in 1860, to $10,800,000,000 in 1870, an increase of nearly 68 per cent. In personal propertpy,i.e., in wealth, excepting lands and the buildings on them, the non-slaveholding States increased about 47 per cent, against 95 per cent, in the decade 1850 and 1860. Inthe slave States the absence of slave valuations and the loss of personal property during the war, works such a decrease in value of personal property as shows a loss for the whole country. . Forthe decade 1860-70, the increase in value of real estate is 75 per cent., while for the previous decade the increase was 64 per cent. This advance is in part due to higher valuation, and in part toincreased buildings. Whether one value is actualy more substantial than the other is but conjecture. In the economics of real property, its worth enhances according as the occupied circle of which it is the center expands in structures, population, is aac with a corresponding depreciation as the movements in trade and population shift.
