George Hothersall, recently returned from the Normal School where he has been pursuing his studies, was agreeably surprised Wednesilay evening by receiving a visit from a large number of young ladies and gentlemen who—were—his companions in the High School Graduating Class of 1880-81. The party was a pleasant one, dancing being among the amusements. Wm. Campbell and George Johtaston, of Boston Ravine, called on us yesterday. ‘‘Georgie,” us he is familiarly called, is about 85 years old bat would readily pass, dressed up as he was yesterday, for a man of 65 years. Wearea little surprised that some fair Grass Valley maiden has not taken him in ere this and made a specialty of -‘‘frizzing” the golden locks on the top of his head. BRIEF MENTION. Various Happenings In and Out of Town. The addition to the Narrow Guage freight depot is nearly completed. The insane Chinaman from below Grass Valley was taken to Stockton yesterday by E. B.

The San Francisco Copper Mining Company operating at Spenceville J has declare: the usual monthly dividend, payable on the 20th.

There was a pic-nic out on Gold Fiat yesterday, by the people living in that loca ity,of which there werea large number present. __There-were variousamusements. During the day nine children were baptised by Rev. Mr. Sims. Says the San Francisco Daily Report: ‘*The subject of a sermon in Nevada county recently was, The pleasures of -Church_Going.

The Troubles of a Hydraulic Miner as Depicted by the “Bee.” The Sacramento Bee publishes th s ‘good natured one at J. P.’s expense : John P. Hickey, lately sued by Sutter county torestrain him from ranning the tailings of a hydraulic mine, very lately purchased .by him, into Bear river, hag been for the last thirty days, what the Sheriffs say in their returns, ‘‘non est inventus,” which means “not to be found.” — Whether the decision of Judge Temple will induce him to turn up again remains to be seen, We have over and over’ again descanted upun the great and growing evils attendant’ upon hydraulic mining, but the latest is the greatest. John P. Hickey, becoming opulent by the death ot a parent, bought a hydraulic mine in Placer county, and at the same time surrendered his heart to a beanteous mountain maiden raised in, and holding, fast to, the Protestant faith, hol ‘ing so fast that plain’ John P.— an American John P. but a Catholic John_P.—had-to-go to Rome to get a dispensation in order that the road to the altar shuuld be free from what . might be called that debris famously present in the tortuous course of true love. This dispensation John P. got, and also one of those cheap titles for sale thereabouts—and _straigh! way hied he back to his sweetheart and his hydraulic mine with the two great parchments in his pocket— one to make him happy shortly and forever, and the other dubbing him on the spot Baron John P: Hickey. John P.—American John P.—we suppose was dropped like the castoff garments of a miner on the ground. Had Sutter county stayed her fell hand all would have gone well with the hydraulic Baron, who, with hie sweetheart, incorporated (as the priest in “Romeo and Juliet” said) into one, his hydraulic mine in unrestrained operation, and his title. swelling like the breeze, could have laughed at fate, as did ‘‘Bombastos Furioso.” Bat— she didn’t—that is Sutter county didn’t, She wanted to serve a few papers on Baron John P. Hickey, late John P. Hickey, late John P. Hickey of Grass Valley.— But the Baron was not bold—the Pope in making him a Baron had probably told him that his empire was peace. Anyhow, the Baron was not bold enough to stay. He fled, leaving his sweetheart and his hydrautic mine behind, one bathed in fresh water, the other in salt tears. A more moving tale of sorrow we have never told. “Come back, Baron! Come back, John! Come back, John P! Dry the tears of your mountain maiden and let the hydraulic mine dry up !” Contesting Minitug Patents. The bill recently introduced by ‘Senator Chilcott, of Colorado, provides that when an adverse claim _ is filed the parties so contesting the patent shall in case they fail to sustain their claim by proof, be liable to the applicant for the patent or the grantee for the bill of expenses of . damages which shall be incurred by or result from the filing of such a protest or objection. The object of the bill is to prevent any annoyances and actual blackmail against applicants for patents: In many cases farties having nu shadow of title to a mining claim will file an adverse claith iv order tu be-bouyht off and paid for not bothering the owners any longer. This is done so frequently in mining regions, and is such a source of annoyance to owners of property, that the bill is of true public benefit,and ought to pass, It has the approval of Secretary Te!ler, as well as Senator Hill, Chairnan of the Committee'on Mines and Mining, to which committee it was referred. An amendment will be added, requiring parties filing adverse claims to give security for costs. The Circus. Sherman’s c'rcus troupe came up from Grass Valley yesterday _moraing, and in the afternoon the band connected therewith paraded the streets in their handsome chariot. Last evening a performance was giventoa good audience. Today at 2:30 there will be a matinee, and in the evening will take p'ace the closing exhibition in this city, The Grass Valley papers speak very highly of the. entertainment. Fred. Mackley, the well-known comedian, is the clown of the combination, and also the manager of the concert troupe. : me Montgomery } ‘Heard From. Billy Sgnihicmery-t has finished his contract at the Wind-Up mine. He sends down word that in case he gets another one right away, he will remat secluded for some time longer in that remote section. Otherwise, he will come down -here on the Fourth and show the boys how a *49er sprees it when he has been getting an ounce to the pan and _ bedrock pitching. The Day We Celebrate.

Savage Placer. At the Savage placer mine in Sierra county the middle drift has passed through the granite into lava andcement. After an examination er to sink a winze in this cement formation or to advance the main tunnel, which is from forty or fifty feet lower than this midJlle drift. At the mine there are now supplies on hand of all kinds sufficient to last eight weeks, and coin enough io the treasyry to run three months without levying another assessment. The material encountered is considered very favorable, it being the same as was found by the Bald Mountain aud Ba!d Mountain Extension Companies before they struck into pay gravel. Experts in drift mining from the Sierra Buttes and from Downieville will examine the ground in a day or two. cs nie Trackee Republican Items.

Mayor Kent, who ison the Fourth ‘Btone’s ian Eorror ‘TRaNecntrr: The exminer on the Yuba river, the exMayor of Marysville and now the ex-Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Yuba county, the Hon. Mr. Stone, M. D., has taken himself by the seat of his indespensibles and yankedfhimself ont of the position of a Chairman of the Democratic party. “Should the associated press get this item, the Democratic party would be several The grand chief has stepped. down and out, but why is this thusly?’ Well, because the citizens of this county, who have more brains than the ex-Chairman, saw fit to elect Mr. O’Brien to the . honorable position of a delegats. to the Democratic State. Convention. We quote from Mr. Stone’s letter: ' “But the election of a prominent hydraulic miner, and an open violator of the law” is what we take exception to. When Mr. Stone over his own signature uses such lariguage he either willfully tells what is not 80, or he does not know what he is writing about. We all understand when the injunctions were issued against these mines, it was understood that they only prohibited the mines from dumping in the river. Mr. O’Brien as Superintendent had them all shut down, and after building dams in the canyons and rivers to keep the debris from flowmg to the river; he, by advice of the best legal talent in the State, was told thathe had complied with the requirements of the injunctions and that it was satisfactory to the most -of the business men, of the city of Marysville. The Mooney Flat mine, not having any place to build dams in, remained closed down— but the others, on this side of the ridge, were started up ayain, and this is what he refers to as “‘an open violation of the laws.” Go slow, Brother Stone. Take » drink of slickens, a warm foot bath. Sit on a chuuk of ice or apply it’ wherever your brains are, and with 40 grains of quinine you will be lik ly to come out of this stupor a Republican.
