Apples are selling at three cents a pound in this city. Cheap enough, considering the time of_year. The freight brakemen and other employes on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad are on a strike. The wagon roads leading into this city from the upper country have not been worse in years than they are now. A Narrow Gauge locomotive knocked adog fromthe Gold Run trestle the other day. The animal is suppos: ed to have been killed. Thomas Jacka’s new building on Broad street shows signs of settling at one corner, and it has been necessary to put in additional supports. ~~ Michael Keefe has been sentenced at Suisun to be hanged oni the 15th of April for the murder of his wifein Vallejo; about-eighteen-months-ago—— * The final account of the executors has been settled and a decree of distribution made in the matter of the estate of Nicholas Bice, deceased. Wm. Kitto, who lives below Grass Valley, had a severe hurt a few days ago while using a circular saw. A stick flew up cutting his chin and knocking out four teeth. R.

They will probably strike some places in the road where it will take all six: teen horses to get a single wagon along. * R. McLefinan is on trial at San Francisco upon a charge of embezzlement. It is alleged that’ McLennan, in December, 1884, while acting at the Secretary of the Ancient. Order o1 Foresters, embezzled $307.18 of the funds of the order. The Union of yesterday says that it * {s estimated that the miners of Grass Valley have lost $30,000:m wages by the three weeks anda half of work they were deprived of by the enforcea suspension of the mines by the water power being shut off. The cases of George E. Turner vs. Annie Robinson and G. W. Hyde vs. O. K. Cloudman, from the justice courts of Judges Wadsworth and Barker respectively, have been. appealed to the Superior Court. In each case the defendant is the appellant. Some of the San Francisco papers have an item that Nevada City is snowed in and her people getting short of provis ons. The fact is that the snow is nearly allgone from this immediate locality. There is yet considerable on the surrounding hills. It is thought the current assessment on the Nevada County mine will be thelast. Tae mine looks splendidly, but there isnot quite enough money in the treasury to meet expenses till next month when there will be enough ore opened up to keep the mill going. The following change has been. ordered in the Star Route schedule :— You Bet to Dutch Flat—Leave You Bet Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays-at 10 a.

At the officeof the South Yuba Water and Mining Company in this city are files of the Nevada Journal extending from 1851 to 1857 inclusive. Will T. Morgan, the company’s book-keeper, has found among the old papers one bearing date of June 17th, 1852. Hon. A. A. Sargent was the editor then, Budd & Sargent being the proprietors. This issue contains an account of the hanging of aman at this city for grand larceny, an incident about which several pioneers have recently been writing tothe Transcript. The Journal’s description of the affair is as follows: John Barrett, who was convicted of the crime of grand larceny at the: last term of-the Court of Sessions, and sentenced to be hung, was. brought up from the Yuba county jail: on Thursday evening last, where he had been ‘confined since his trial. By his sentence he was_to be executed yesterday, between the hours. of 9 and 4 o’¢lock. -——— The prisoner requested to be hung as early as possible, 9 o’clock if convenient. In accordance ‘with his request preparations were made at an early hour-in the morning. The gallows had been erected on a flat, about three-quarters of.a mile east of town, and though there might have been a greater drop, yet. the apparatus: was very complete. About 9 o’clock a detachment of citizens, who had volunteered their services as a guard, formed around the jail where the prisoner was confined. He, together with the other persons in the jail, wore a subdued, serious look, as though impressed with the deep solemnity of the occa. sion. About.half past nine, the irons were struck from his limbs, and the I GRASS VALLEY GRANULES. The Daily Doings of Our Next Door Neighbors. FRED WHEELER'S $25,000 LEGACY.

He has seegislative stagers for his masterly generalship and numerous congratulatory telegrams from old Nevada, and, per consequence, is a proud man, which ‘he certainly has a right to be. Owing to one of General Clunie’s usual obstructive moves, thebill .is delayed in its transmission to the House through.a notice of motion for reconsideration, which, of course; will avail nothing *to ‘the opposition beyond gaining a little more time. The-mining Assemblymen are cocked and primed for the contest, and if they can once get the bill squarely before the House will make an energetic and able fight in its behalf. I have before adverted to the BITTER EMNITY OF SACRAMENTO Towards the mining interest, and there is notmuch more,to say on that head, except that the miner need prisoner assisted in dressing himself in his shroud. A signal being given that all was ready, the prisoner was led forth. A cart containing a coffin was brought up, on which the prisoner was placed. The guard formed a hollow square about the’ cart, which was slowly drawn to the place of execution, followed by a large concourse of people. The prisoner remained cool and collected; he appeared as: one who was tired of the world, and cared not when or how he leit it. He ascended the scaffold witha firm step, and took a seat by the Catholic Priest, Mr. Shanahan. There were likewise on the platform the Under Sheriff of this county, officiating as Sheriff, Mr. Gray, Sheriff of Yuba county, H. C. Hodge, _Esq., prisoner’s counsel, “Dr. Cleveland, attending physician, and several other gentlemen.

So far as the State Treasury is concerned, the Legislature has not been stingy in its drafts upon: that receptacle, but with a sudden burst of economy and squelched a resolution to pay Clerks for their time from the date of the time of theirappointment, and one facetious watch-dog of the State’s strong box introduced a resolution to donate to the clerks all-that was left in the State’s sack after the Legislature had It isstated thatas soon as Spring opens'the company which was last Fall experimenting in Meadow Lake district with the electric process of amalgamating, will resyme operations with increased vigor.

It was less than six months ago that Grass Valley had an election cott asked the prisoner if he had anything to say, to which he answered, nothing. He-had before_stated that he was guilty of all the crimes charged with, that he was glad and willing to die, that he blamed no one, and that his crimes were wholly owing to intemperance. Sheriff Endicott then read the warrant for his execution. All other preparations having been made, the cap was drawn over his face, the prisoner was led into the drop, the rope adjusted, and at seventeen minutes after ten the drop fell. The prisoner, who was a powerfully built man, fell heavily, though it was evident that his neck was not broken. There were several convulsive throes of his body, and then it hung quietly, and John Barrett was in’eternity. The entire number of people who witnessed the scene—some 600—were remarkably quiet and orderly ; no unnecessary noise or excitement disturbed the solemnity of the occasion. The body remained hanging forty minutes when being pronounced dead by Dr. Cleveland, it was cut down, placed in the coffin, and buried at the foot of a large pine tree, near the scaffold. Barrett was a native of Ireland, where his mother now resides. He lived for a long time in. New Orleans, where a sister and brother of his-new live, occupying a very respectable position in society. When the jury brought in their verdict of guilty, adjudging the punishment of death, the presiding judge announced that he would give sentence on the following morning at 10 o’clock. The prisoner, under the impression that he would be iiung at that hour, called for pen and ink, and wrote a few lines to his sister. On being asked yesterday. if he desired this to be sent, he said he had ‘written last’ Sunday to his sister, and.given the letter to the jailer, who promised to forward it. He said he had never been connected with any gang, though he had known many who lived by stealing. That he had nq.blood on his hands, and had not stolen till he commenced in drinking. He said he gotin bad company, becommitted the theft, in Newtown, for which he was whipped and _ branded. Goaded by this he ‘‘poured_the liquor down,’ and still in liquor, came here and committed the theft. Fatal intemperance! how many has it ruined!

It is said that since the present bonders obtained the Coe mine, they have refused $100,000 for it. They will put inat once a 10 inch pump to drain the mine.“ Lots of old miners insist that the Coe will yet, prove to be the lost continuation of the Eureka and Idaho, thrown out of line by a fault in the formation called by miners a “‘hoss.’’ The land in the lower end of Grass Valley township, ‘in the Bear river bend, is among-the best land in the State for fruits.

With the rest of his companions he attended public school till the. breaking out of the late war, when he ran away from home to. enlist in the 9th Michigan Infantry under command: of Col. W. W. Duffield. He was 12 years, 4 months and 6 days old when he enlisted as.a_drummer boy. He served with his regiment in_the campaigns in Kentucky and Tennessee during 1861-and ’62. He was at the fall of Fort Donaldson. Upon July 14th, 1862, he was stationed with Company B in -Murfreesboro, -upon guard at the. Court House, the balance of the regiment being encamped on the outside of the city. At four o’clock in the miorning great alarm was occasioned by the presence of a company of the enemy «under the dashing leadership 6 Morgan and Forrest. The drummer boy, then 13 years old, beat the muster roll upon his drum, nervous with suppressed excitement.* They fought the enemy 4rém the windows of the Court House, picking them off “like peaches dropping from the trees,’’ but the rebs at last set the lower story on fire and the boys had to surrender.

There is a certain class of remedies for constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and potions made in great part of podophyllin, alges, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredients. The damage they do to the stomachs of those who use them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but do so violently and profusely, and besides gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and the stomach. Better far to use the agreeable and salutary aperient, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the laxative effect of which is never prepain, or accompanied by a convulsive, violent action of the bowels. Onthe contrary, it invigorates those organs, the stomach and the entire system. As a means of curing and preventing malarial fevers, no medicine can compare with it, and it remedies nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney and bladder inactivity, and other inorganic ailments.

Irelan, Jr., who succeeded Mr, Hanks in—of-—_ fice, has been received, The report states that the condition of the Bureau's exhibits, in their new quarters-in the -Pionecr: builaing on-Fourth street, near Market, is most satisfactory, the State now. owning over-9;000 specimens, placed on exhibition-in the-museum. Sinee the removal to the new quarters, the number of visitors, “especially those from the East, have increased considerably. In referring to the general condition of mining in the State, the report says that gold mines can be worked now at less cost than ever before, and that the indica ions point to a new era c* mining prosperity in the State. Even ifthe vast deposits Gf gold cannot bé utilized,the numerous new gold placer quartz ledges being opened daily will vo far to make up for the difference. Mr. Ifanks believes that the State will also shortly become a large silver producer. The idea of bimetalism or a double standard is scouted in the report. Considerable space is given to describing the large-and valuable deposits‘of both ornamental-and—building marble and stone throughout the State, and theiruse in future building enterprises is-strongtyrecommended, The report of Mr. Hanks closes with the above portion of the paper, and is continued by Mr. Irelan, A statement of the finances of the Bureau shows disbursements from April Ist, 1885, to October Ist, 1886, for expenses, amounting to $16,457 31, and receipts for the same period of $25,644 44, leaving a balance on October 1886, to the credit of the bureau of $9,207.13. Mr.Irelan recommends that a chemical laboratory be added to the Bureau on the third floor, and a new gallery for exhibiting spécimens be built in the main hall, andurges that additional funds be allowed the Bureau by the State to extend its researches in various new directions. It: appeals for an appropriation of $125,square meals a day and sighs because he has not the time to eat more. The gentleman who tells these things to the reporter says that the man who would take Mr. Pattison in his present condition on the road and exhibit him as the champion Herculean Athlete would make a fortune in no time. INTERESTING TO MINERS. Testing a Hydraulic Conveyor fer Removing Stickens: In response to invitations issued by Assistant United States Engineer Alfred Boschke, a number of well-known mining men and others interested knew Lincoln well and has inhis pos{gathered at Vallejo-street wharf in San FranciscoWednesday afternoon to witness an exhibition of the workings of a-hydraulic dirt conveyor. The conveyor is intended to carry debris from mines where water power is used and from dredges. The experiment principal was demoustrated to the observers. The pump of the tug Waterwitch was used to pump water through a pipe line. tween the pump and place of deposit a hopper was fixed, Gravel was poured into the hopper, and the pump being started, a strong volume of water ran through the hose, carrying the gravel to the place of deposit on the wharf.The machine is capable of carrying 1000 cubic yards of dirt an ond. denionstrate that large quantitics of mining debris can be transported long distances through pipes to pumps. The San Francisco Call, from which invention was introduced in hydraulic mining, by means of filtering dams the water will be made to return to the river, leaving the debris on the ground where dumped, and the slickens question will be nearer solution, ‘Tis SOZODONT the whole world tries, 'Tis SOZLODONT which purities Tne brealh and mouth, and dirt defies.

Referring to the number of mining companies incorporated . in the State from July 1, 1884, to July 1, 1886, the number is put at 206, and the total number of mining patents on all mines since the commencement of mining at 1809. The gross yield of California mines for 1886 is put at $14,690,385, and. the total product of all mines situated west of the Missouri riverfor the same year is stated at at $103,011,761. Full statistics of the mint workings for the year. ending . June 30, 1886, are also appended. One section of the report contains an article on mine drainage by C, G.

At the officeof the South Yuba Water and Mining Company in this city are files of the Nevada Journal extending from 1851 to 1857 inclusive. Will T. Morgan, the company’s book-keeper, has found among the old papers one bearing date of June 17th, 1852. Hon. A. A. Sargent was the editor then, Budd & Sargent being the proprietors. This issue contains an account of the hanging of aman at this city for grand larceny, an incident about which several pioneers have recently been writing tothe Transcript.. The Journal’s description of the affair is as follows: John Barrett, who was convicted of the crime of grand larceny at the: last term of-the Court of Sessions, and sentenced to be hung, was. brought up from the Yuba county jail: on Thursday evening last, where he had been ‘confined since his trial. By his sentence he was_to be executed yesterday, between the hours. of 9 and 4 o’¢lock. -——— The prisoner requested to be hung as early as possible, 9 o’clock if convenient. In accordance ‘with his request preparations were made at an early hour-in the morning. The gallows had been erected on a flat, about three-quarters of.a mile east of town, and though there might have been a greater drop, yet. the apparatus: was very complete. About 9 o’clock a detachment of citizens, who had volunteered their services as a guard, formed around the jail where the prisoner was confined. He, together with the other persons in the jail, wore a subdued, serious look, as though impressed with the deep solemnity of the occa. sion. About.half past nine, the irons were struck from his limbs, and the I GRASS VALLEY GRANULES. The Daily Doings of Our Next Door Neighbors. FRED WHEELER'S $25,000 LEGACY.

He has seegislative stagers for his masterly generalship and numerous congratulatory telegrams from old Nevada, and, per consequence, is a proud man, which ‘he certainly has a right to be. Owing to one of General Clunie’s usual obstructive moves, thebill .is delayed in its transmission to the House through.a notice of motion for reconsideration, which, of course; will avail nothing *to ‘the opposition beyond gaining a little more time. The-mining Assemblymen are cocked and primed for the contest, and if they can once get the bill squarely before the House will make an energetic and able fight in its behalf. I have before adverted to the BITTER EMNITY OF SACRAMENTO Towards the mining interest, and there is notmuch more,to say on that head, except that the miner need prisoner assisted in dressing himself in his shroud. A signal being given that all was ready, the prisoner was led forth. A cart containing a coffin was brought up, on which the prisoner was placed. The guard formed a hollow square about the’ cart, which was slowly drawn to the place of execution, followed by a large concourse of people. The prisoner remained cool and collected; he appeared as: one who was tired of the world, and cared not when or how he leit it. He ascended the scaffold witha firm step, and took a seat by the Catholic Priest, Mr. Shanahan. There were likewise on the platform the Under Sheriff of this county, officiating as Sheriff, Mr. Gray, Sheriff of Yuba county, H. C. Hodge, _Esq., prisoner’s counsel, “Dr. Cleveland, attending physician, and several other gentlemen.

So far as the State Treasury is concerned, the Legislature has not been stingy in its drafts upon: that receptacle, but with a sudden burst of economy and squelched a resolution to pay Clerks for their time from the date of the time of theirappointment, and one facetious watch-dog of the State’s strong box introduced a resolution to donate to the clerks all-that was left in the State’s sack after the Legislature had It isstated thatas soon as Spring opens'the company which was last Fall experimenting in Meadow Lake district with the electric process of amalgamating, will resyme operations with increased vigor.

It was less than six months ago that Grass Valley had an election cott asked the prisoner if he had anything to say, to which he answered, nothing. He-had before_stated that he was guilty of all the crimes charged with, that he was glad and willing to die, that he blamed no one, and that his crimes were wholly owing to intemperance. Sheriff Endicott then read the warrant for his execution. All other preparations having been made, the cap was drawn over his face, the prisoner was led into the drop, the rope adjusted, and at seventeen minutes after ten the drop fell. The prisoner, who was a powerfully built man, fell heavily, though it was evident that his neck was not broken. There were several convulsive throes of his body, and then it hung quietly, and John Barrett was in’eternity. The entire number of people who witnessed the scene—some 600—were remarkably quiet and orderly ; no unnecessary noise or excitement disturbed the solemnity of the occasion. The body remained hanging forty minutes when being pronounced dead by Dr. Cleveland, it was cut down, placed in the coffin, and buried at the foot of a large pine tree, near the scaffold. Barrett was a native of Ireland, where his mother now resides. He lived for a long time in. New Orleans, where a sister and brother of his-new live, occupying a very respectable position in society. When the jury brought in their verdict of guilty, adjudging the punishment of death, the presiding judge announced that he would give sentence on the following morning at 10 o’clock. The prisoner, under the impression that he would be iiung at that hour, called for pen and ink, and wrote a few lines to his sister. On being asked yesterday. if he desired this to be sent, he said he had ‘written last’ Sunday to his sister, and.given the letter to the jailer, who promised to forward it. He said he had never been connected with any gang, though he had known many who lived by stealing. That he had nq.blood on his hands, and had not stolen till he commenced in drinking. He said he gotin bad company, becommitted the theft, in Newtown, for which he was whipped and _ branded. Goaded by this he ‘‘poured_the liquor down,’ and still in liquor, came here and committed the theft. Fatal intemperance! how many has it ruined!

There is a certain class of remedies for constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and potions made in great part of podophyllin, alges, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredients. The damage they do to the stomachs of those who use them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but do so violently and profusely, and besides gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and the stomach. Better far to use the agreeable and salutary aperient, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the laxative effect of which is never prepain, or accompanied by a convulsive, violent action of the bowels. Onthe contrary, it invigorates those organs, the stomach and the entire system. As a means of curing and preventing malarial fevers, no medicine can compare with it, and it remedies nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney and bladder inactivity, and other inorganic ailments.

Marked Decrease of the Gold Yield in Cal ifornia—The Bureau's: Exhibits. Reports from the Various Counties. The sixth annual report of the California State Mining Bureau, for the year ending June Ist, 1886, as compiled by Henry G. Hanks, the exState Mineralogist, and Wm. Irelan, Jr., who succeeded Mr, Hanks in—of-—_ fice, has been received, The report states that the condition of the Bureau's exhibits, in their new quarters-in the -Pionecr: builaing on-Fourth street, near Market, is most satisfactory, the State now. owning over-9;000 specimens, placed on exhibition-in the-museum. Sinee the removal to the new quarters, the number of visitors, “especially those from the East, have increased considerably. In referring to the general condition of mining in the State, the report says that gold mines can be worked now at less cost than ever before, and that the indica ions point to a new era c* mining prosperity in the State. Even ifthe vast deposits Gf gold cannot bé utilized,the numerous new gold placer quartz ledges being opened daily will vo far to make up for the difference. Mr. Ifanks believes that the State will also shortly become a large silver producer. The idea of bimetalism or a double standard is scouted in the report. Considerable space is given to describing the large-and valuable deposits‘of both ornamental-and—building marble and stone throughout the State, and theiruse in future building enterprises is-strongtyrecommended, The report of Mr. Hanks closes with the above portion of the paper, and is continued by Mr. Irelan, A statement of the finances of the Bureau shows disbursements from April Ist, 1885, to October Ist, 1886, for expenses, amounting to $16,457 31, and receipts for the same period of $25,644 44, leaving a balance on October 1886, to the credit of the bureau of $9,207.13. Mr.Irelan recommends that a chemical laboratory be added to the Bureau on the third floor, and a new gallery for exhibiting spécimens be built in the main hall, andurges that additional funds be allowed the Bureau by the State to extend its researches in various new directions. It: appeals for an appropriation of $125,square meals a day and sighs because he has not the time to eat more. The gentleman who tells these things to the reporter says that the man who would take Mr. Pattison in his present condition on the road and exhibit him as the champion Herculean Athlete would make a fortune in no time. INTERESTING TO MINERS. Testing a Hydraulic Conveyor fer Removing Stickens: In response to invitations issued by Assistant United States Engineer Alfred Boschke, a number of well-known mining men and others interested knew Lincoln well and has inhis pos{gathered at Vallejo-street wharf in San FranciscoWednesday afternoon to witness an exhibition of the workings of a-hydraulic dirt conveyor. The conveyor is intended to carry debris from mines where water power is used and from dredges. The experiment principal was demoustrated to the observers. The pump of the tug Waterwitch was used to pump water through a pipe line. tween the pump and place of deposit a hopper was fixed, Gravel was poured into the hopper, and the pump being started, a strong volume of water ran through the hose, carrying the gravel to the place of deposit on the wharf.The machine is capable of carrying 1000 cubic yards of dirt an ond. denionstrate that large quantitics of mining debris can be transported long distances through pipes to pumps. The San Francisco Call, from which invention was introduced in hydraulic mining, by means of filtering dams the water will be made to return to the river, leaving the debris on the ground where dumped, and the slickens question will be nearer solution, ‘Tis SOZODONT the whole world tries, 'Tis SOZLODONT which purities Tne brealh and mouth, and dirt defies.
