A Neighborly Suggestion About ‘the Place to Hold it. Nevada” and Placer counties having been joined by the ‘Legislature as co-partners in] the matter of annually holding a district all parts of the eounties. should hereafter take an active and equal interest in making the displays creditable to the district. It seems to be generally conceded. that. the fair this year shall be held in Nevada county, ‘and it doubtless will be. Itis generally hoped around here ‘that some more accessible point than Watt Park will be decided upon as the place for it. That is an. expensive place to reach for people living up here, and consequently they cannot be on hand nearly so often-as they otherwise would. If they go by cars to Grass Valley and by wagon®the rest of the way, it is a tedious and disagreeable trip; if they go by buss—chances~are that they will never try it again if they survive to ithe end of the journey; ‘and if they have to hire a— conveyance; (provided they—eanfind one to be hired) they will conclude to be more economical in the future and satisty themselves with an annual trip to Europe. We truly believe that these fairs when held in Nevada county should be at some point right on the railroad and -eonyenient toboth the~principal towns of the county. We don’t care how close it will be to Grass Valley, provided it is not far from the railroad. We believe that a change would be profitable and in every way advantageous to the Association, and would not in any manner injure our sister town. We wish our neighbors down that way would think the matter over and let the people of Nevada City and the upper part of the county know what.they are willing to do in the way of holding the fair elsewhere than at Watt Park. ope.

Wednesday night about-a quarter past eight o’clock Wm. Wolf closed his store on Main street and started to go to his home. Some one walked along a few feet behind him, but he suspected nothing wrong until when he had reached a-—point_onCoyote-street—at—the+ head of Church street the fellow who-had-been dogging him suddenly sprang forward and struck him a terrific blow over the head with a raw-hide billy loaded with lead and about sixteen inches long. The blow was a glancing one, and Mr. Wolt lustily yelled “‘thief.”” The weapon slipped from the would-be robber’s hand as he struck,‘ and as Mr. Wolf shouted he whirled and ran up Church street towards the Courthouse at arapid gait. Mr.Wolf’s head was severely: cut, but he neither lost consciousness nor fell down: His assailant was a short man, young, thin-facedand having no beard. The billy is now in the possession of the o flicers. Mine Bonded. ~ Edwin Tilley, Chris. Mallon and John Jenkins have bonded from? John B.

A committee has been appointed by Oustomah Lodge of Odd Fellows at this city to arrange a programme for a celebration here PILING IT ON; Fire Insurance Companies Combine to Cinch the People, With one exception, all the , fire insurance companies doing biisiness in this State have gone into a solemn and iron-bound compact to charge a uniform rate for risks taken. hereafter. If two cases brought to our attention this week are fair samples of what these companies are pledged ‘to do, we can say no less than that the combination is one of the worsttinching operations that has been before the public in many a day; in fact. itis a bold and unwarranted attempt at extortion. A gentleman in this city has for ten years past paid $30 per annim on~a two thousand dollar policy, and the same company, having become a party to the ring, now raises the pretnium to $46. Another policy oi $4,000 on which the premium has been $60 a year, with ten per cent. off, has been increased by the poor-man’s-friend-combination to $91 net. One of the companies that was drawn into this scheme has already been called upon to cancel the policies of -over 250° of its old-time customers in the city of Oakland alone,the holders refusing to submit to the raise. We will be very much surprised if property owners submit to the unreasonable tax and by sodoing permit the compact to flourish. Se til Important Announcement. E. ©. Wolf, formerly with Hyman Brothers at this city, will arrive here next week to assume the management of a new clothing store to be opened by L. Hyman of the One Price San Francisco store. Messrs. Hyman and Wolfe are now at San Francisco purchasing for thé: new establishment ‘a very large and elegant stock of goods (the latest styles in the market), and the shipment of them will not be delayed. There will be a slaughter in present prices all along the line, and under such popular management and with such inducements in the way of low prices and fresh goods the new store will be made a ao suceéss.

The English glees, catches, rounds, canons and madriyals are thoroughly. national, and are ad-mired by musicians of every.country for their graceful complications both of melody and harmony. The English dance music is equally spirited, and her country jigs and sailors’ hornpipe are known all over the world. Some of.the most ancient popular melodies: of the English are fortunately preserved in a little manuscript nf the age of Queen Elizabeth, called ‘Queen Elizabeth’s Virginal Book,” containing airsthat are still popular among the peasantry. Those exquisitely pathetic tunes sung by Ophelia in ‘‘Hamlet’’ are admired by all musicians, and are far older than history can trace. Such noble tunes as “The King Shall Enjoy His Own — Again,”’ “‘Crop-eared Roundheads,”? ‘The Girl I Left Behind Me,” “Balance a Straw,” “Drink to-Me Only with Thine Eyes,” ‘(Down Among the Dead Men,”.“‘The Vicar of Bray,”’ “The Miller of Dee,” “Begone Dull Care,” and others may be cited. as fairspecimens of English popular and traditional music. Its general_characteristics are strength and martial energy. It has a dashing, impulsive, leaping, frolicksome spirit, occasionally overshadowed by a touch of sadness, It has notthe tender melancholy of the: music of Ireland, nor the light, airy grace, delicate beauty and heart-wrung pathos of the songs of Scotland, bat it has a lilt and style of its@wn. In one word, the music of England may be described as “‘merry,’’ and her national songs partake of the same character, and are jovial, lusty, exultant and full of life and daring.

A Neighborly Suggestion About ‘the Place to Hold it. Nevada” and Placer counties having been joined by the ‘Legislature as co-partners in] the matter of annually holding a district all parts of the eounties. should hereafter take an active and equal interest in making the displays creditable to the district. It seems to be generally conceded. that. the fair this year shall be held in Nevada county, ‘and it doubtless will be. Itis generally hoped around here ‘that some more accessible point than Watt Park will be decided upon as the place for it. That is an. expensive place to reach for people living up here, and consequently they cannot be on hand nearly so often-as they otherwise would. If they go by cars to Grass Valley and by wagon®the rest of the way, it is a tedious and disagreeable trip; if they go by buss—chances~are that they will never try it again if they survive to ithe end of the journey; ‘and if they have to hire a— conveyance; (provided they—eanfind one to be hired) they will conclude to be more economical in the future and satisty themselves with an annual trip to Europe. We truly believe that these fairs when held in Nevada county should be at some point right on the railroad and -eonyenient toboth the~principal towns of the county. We don’t care how close it will be to Grass Valley, provided it is not far from the railroad. We believe that a change would be profitable and in every way advantageous to the Association, and would not in any manner injure our sister town. We wish our neighbors down that way would think the matter over and let the people of Nevada City and the upper part of the county know what.they are willing to do in the way of holding the fair elsewhere than at Watt Park. ope.

Wednesday night about-a quarter past eight o’clock Wm. Wolf closed his store on Main street and started to go to his home. Some one walked along a few feet behind him, but he suspected nothing wrong until when he had reached a-—point_onCoyote-street—at—the+ head of Church street the fellow who-had-been dogging him suddenly sprang forward and struck him a terrific blow over the head with a raw-hide billy loaded with lead and about sixteen inches long. The blow was a glancing one, and Mr. Wolt lustily yelled “‘thief.”” The weapon slipped from the would-be robber’s hand as he struck,‘ and as Mr. Wolf shouted he whirled and ran up Church street towards the Courthouse at arapid gait. Mr.Wolf’s head was severely: cut, but he neither lost consciousness nor fell down: His assailant was a short man, young, thin-facedand having no beard. The billy is now in the possession of the o flicers. Mine Bonded. ~ Edwin Tilley, Chris. Mallon and John Jenkins have bonded from? John B.

If two cases brought to our attention this week are fair samples of what these companies are pledged ‘to do, we can say no less than that the combination is one of the worsttinching operations that has been before the public in many a day; in fact. itis a bold and unwarranted attempt at extortion. A gentleman in this city has for ten years past paid $30 per annim on~a two thousand dollar policy, and the same company, having become a party to the ring, now raises the pretnium to $46. Another policy oi $4,000 on which the premium has been $60 a year, with ten per cent. off, has been increased by the poor-man’s-friend-combination to $91 net. One of the companies that was drawn into this scheme has already been called upon to cancel the policies of -over 250° of its old-time customers in the city of Oakland alone,the holders refusing to submit to the raise. We will be very much surprised if property owners submit to the unreasonable tax and by sodoing permit the compact to flourish. Se til Important Announcement. E. ©.

The English glees, catches, rounds, canons and madriyals are thoroughly. national, and are ad-mired by musicians of every.country for their graceful complications both of melody and harmony. The English dance music is equally spirited, and her country jigs and sailors’ hornpipe are known all over the world. Some of.the most ancient popular melodies: of the English are fortunately preserved in a little manuscript nf the age of Queen Elizabeth, called ‘Queen Elizabeth’s Virginal Book,” containing airsthat are still popular among the peasantry. Those exquisitely pathetic tunes sung by Ophelia in ‘‘Hamlet’’ are admired by all musicians, and are far older than history can trace. Such noble tunes as “The King Shall Enjoy His Own — Again,”’ “‘Crop-eared Roundheads,”? ‘The Girl I Left Behind Me,” “Balance a Straw,” “Drink to-Me Only with Thine Eyes,” ‘(Down Among the Dead Men,”.“‘The Vicar of Bray,”’ “The Miller of Dee,” “Begone Dull Care,” and others may be cited. as fairspecimens of English popular and traditional music. Its general_characteristics are strength and martial energy. It has a dashing, impulsive, leaping, frolicksome spirit, occasionally overshadowed by a touch of sadness, It has notthe tender melancholy of the: music of Ireland, nor the light, airy grace, delicate beauty and heart-wrung pathos of the songs of Scotland, bat it has a lilt and style of its@wn. In one word, the music of England may be described as “‘merry,’’ and her national songs partake of the same character, and are jovial, lusty, exultant and full of life and daring.
