Inthe Fair case, for instance, in the event of a new trial, of which there is little doubt, a jury ‘could hardly be obtained in the State. Harper's Weekly, commenting on the Foster case, says; ‘‘At a time, for instance, when every intelligent person is necessarily familiar with every important event, and when, if it has occurred in his neighborhood, he has knowledge of the circumstances.as. reported, .and.consequently a kind of opinion, it is absurd to refuse him as a juror upon that ground, and for two very obvious reasons.

Prospectinc.—More prospecting is done on the divide between Grass Valley and Nevada city, says the G. V. Union, than in any other parts of Nevada and Grass Valley townships. The most conspicuous enterprises in that quarter are the Manhattan Mine, . on the north side, and the Branch Mint Tunnel, on the south side of the ridge. The Manhattan hasreached.a depth of 200 feet and—is.still sinking, producing good quartz; and the Branch Mint tunnel is in about one eight of a mile, and will tap the ledge in a few’ weeks at an enormous depth. Both claims are expected to make good mines at once. The wall erally contains the best and largest ledges. Other ledges in this vicinity are favorably situated for tunneling; and we hear that several tunnels will be commenced this season. weighed fifty-nine ounces, which is nine oF ten ounces more than the ayerage weight of the brain, which is “about “fifty -ounces. ‘The heaviest brain ever weighed was that of Cuvier the French naturalist, which is given by ‘some authorities at sixty-five ounces, and by some at sixty-four a ster—partly estimated, on account of a portion being destroyed by disease weighed sixty-four ounces.
