It is an every day remark that Nevada City never looked. ‘so neat and clean as now. The Citizens Bank has just received from the mint $2,000 in buzzard dollars and halves.

Hundreds of bonfires. have been made during the past week within the corporation limits of the city, and tons of disease-breeding trash has been turned into smoke and ashes: A great many people are laboring under the impression that the new water rates go into opefation immediately. That is a mistake. The change does not take place till July. : Some young ladies from Sacramento came up to Grass Valley on a visit afew days ago, but owing to the prevalence of the chicken-pox iu that place they have come to this place to while away their extra time. Two or three drunken men are seen on the street every day. When they become noisy the officers snatch them up very quickly, and the drunks seem to appreciate the situation and are not demonstrative. Quite a number of persons in this city contemplate visiting their old homes in the. East within a few weeks. There is talk of engaging a car, as it is thought there will be enough going to fill one comfortably. Somehow or ther the people do not.scare worth a cent about the smallpox. There has been no cause for becoming demoralized, and there has been no danger of contracting the diszase so long as people keep away -from the houses where it exists. ‘‘New Moon Hay,” ‘‘Jockey Club,” ‘‘Musk,” ‘‘Heliotrope,” and other pertumes have been knocked into a City. Such articles as camphor, carbolic acid, assafetida, and sulphur have been substituted therefor. A reward ought to be offered for the capture of Joe Lawrence. He has a brother living at Allison Ranch “and one in Sierra county. It is surmised that\he will visit one or the show his face in broad daylight.

E J. West, who’ some years ago -kept a restaurant on Commercial Street, this city, and who recently returned here from “Truckee, on ‘Wednesday evening related, to. the TRANScRIPT reporter his experience with the disease which now prevails here to a slight extent and in a.mild and almost harmless fom. “I have been reading with considerable interest,” he remarked, ‘‘various articles upon the loathsome diseasé, but none of them are to the point; They remind me of the newmade wife who was ignorant of. the art of cookery. She went to the cook-book to find out how to make bread, but was cornered when she failed to discover anywhere bétween its covers a recipe for the most important branch of the process, which was yeast-making. Yes, I hada tug with smallpox once, and I don’t want any more of it. I was stricken down with the confluent type in December, 1865, while living at Virginia City, Nevada, and suffered for six weeks. I was keeping a restaurant there then, and contracted it from a physician who was boarding with me. My first symptoms were pain in the forehead and back and side. During forty-eight hours I suffered ten thousand deaths, and the combined medical science on the Comstock could not suggest anything to afford me relief. The third day I was covered from head to foot with pustules, and the pain had left me. My business was turned over to the charge of others, and to the pesthouse I was taken. Twelve hours after arriving there I became delirious, ‘in fact I was a raving maniac. Dr. Downer, now dead, a physician of wide experience in the treatment ofthis disease, attended . me. I was given six cathartic pills ata dose. I-had all the blood-warm tea and lemoua‘le I wanted to drink, and ate cry toast. A fire was built morning and evening to take the chill off the room. I had a competent.male-nurgery~He fastened ne to” the bed so I could not escape during the delirium. The seventh day -my throat began to close. The eighth day Icould swallow nothing. At ten’ o’clock.that-night the doctor took a look at me as I lay there ina dormant state, weak and exhausted, and told the purse I inust die between twelve and one o’clock, midnight. -Had Brother Newton. been there to-console me, and had 1 b-en -washed-of my -sing,-death would have been looked forward to by me then as a blessing; but I was afraid to be cast. into eternity when I thought of my.past.life.The-sembre-cofiin-was brought into the room, and placed ‘ight where, I could not open my eyes without seeing it or close them without: feeling its awful presence and imagining that it was beckoning me to enter its frightful confines. ‘“« ‘What time is it?’ I gasped. ‘* ‘Half-past twelve o'clock,’ answered the nurse with a pitying aes Bh Bh ‘T realized that there was no time to lose, if the docter had told the truth, and I felt he had read the signs aright, “There was but one‘hope left, and that aslender one. ‘Get some vinegar, make it hot with’ cayenne pepper, then take that syringe and inject the mixture into my thioat,’ I said,, remembering ‘that I had at some time heard or read of such treatment. Thinking it was my dying request, the faithful fellow did as I told him. “To my unutterable joy my throat was almost immediately cleared so that I could again receive nourishment in the ordin ry manner. The uinth day I seemed to go all, to pieces. ‘My hair, whiskers, toenails and finger-nails came out by the roots. My face began to itch. For three days the itching continued, my hands being kept securely tied all the time. Sweet oil was frequently applied to my face with a brush. When I was able to walk around there were more than forty other poor wretches there in mach the same condition I had been, although most of them were less severely afflicted. Some ef them had what we called Chinese measles, some chickenpox, some varioloid and some confiuent smallpox, and I was put in. charge of the pesthouse. When [had fully. recovered I’ was physically a much better man than ever before. I was, as you might say, born again.” ‘*Have you seen any of the ten or e'even cases said to exist in this city now?” asksd thie reporter. **No,” said Mr: West,. ‘‘but from what I can learn} think the disease has appeared here in its mildest-form. This climate, the sanitary condition of the community and the good censtitutions of the people generally are sufficient . guarantee that no fears need be entertained of its spreading or assuming a dangerous form here. People who: take’ reasonably good care of. themselves need havé “no fears of becoming infected here unless by actual contact. If they happen to rub against a case of it and are taken down they won’t suffer much, anyway. Ifa person is ever going do better than get the harmless kind prevailing here, and be done with it for a life-time.” “What -do_you think of vaccinapeighbors any longer. y The Thrilling Story. ofa Smallpox Patient---The Coffin Ready, but the Patient Refases to Entcr---He Emerges Triumphautly from the to have the smallpox at all he cannot . . “My theory is that when vaccina‘tion ‘takes’ with a man, he can make up his mind that something’is out of gear with his physical machinery, : And I don’t believe a man owoman in perfect health can contract the] smallpox under any circumstances. It goes harder with dissipated or consumptive people than any one. else, There are mo e or less vases of it at various points on the coast “every year, and very few towns have had the gratification of being without some straggling cases this winter. The principal difference between Nevada City and other places is that here the authorities and doctors and press meet it squarely @nd_ intelligently and go to work to stop it. before any harm is done, whereas the other communities, or some of them at least, try to cover it.up, which is a dangerous as well as foolish thiny to do.” HEARD FROM. Ea Joe Lawrence Wants to Lay Down His Arms and be Forgiven — And Declares He Will Never be Captured Alive Unless His Prayer is Heeded, The following is the copy of a letter received’ through the postoffice Thursday evening by an acquaintance of Joé Lawrence, the postmarkbeing Nevada City. . It _was written in ink ona small ‘sheet of tinted note paper. The spelling was bad; but great care was displayed in wri'ing it : Dean Frienp—To the people of Nevada City and especially my wife and Venard : They say they have no fault to find with me only in lrink. If they éan forgive me aud let me come home to my family I will take.a sclemn oath there ‘shall never, never, one drop of intoxicat ing drink enter my mouth again as long as I live.

Stow this letter to them, and if they can forgive publish it in the paper. Don’t lay a trap for me like my wife did, Speak the truth -and I will come home and pay. all expenses and be a good man, and there shall never be one cross word spoken out of my mouth to my wife and family again.” ~~ ate Believe me, my dear friend, Iam suffering a thousand deaths, walking by night and sleeping by day, without any clothes or shelter, It. will drive me to, most anything very moon. rani JosupH LAWRENCy. > New County Government Bill, The County Government Bill has been printed.

A continuation of the interesting description of what he saw along the way will be found in another column. F. W, Hatch, M.

WINTHROP,” The Madison Square Company at Nevada City Te-night. The San Franciseo Chronicle sayof the heautiful-drama and the great company that the people of this city will have an opportunity to see tonizht: The prettiest of modern plays, the most beneficially emotional story the stage hus given us for a long time, is ‘Young Mrs, Winthrop.” Beside it, ‘‘Hazel Kirke” and “Esmeralda” are not worth men-' tioning, and the vast array of what rhave been called dramas sink out of sight. There aie seven characters, feach,ef them typical, each of them drawn in clear, strong colors, and each of them appealing to the best sense of everybody. In the hero and heroine we have the types of a gentleman and a lady drifting apart without vice, without any disagreement save the absolute pride of their natures, The old lawyer isa char: acter not at all uncommon and for ever delightful. The old mother is one of the, most chavming conceptions we have seen, and the brightnatured blind girl inspires the warmest love of an audience, It seems ‘to be impossib’e to avoid crying, but thatis nothing to be ashamed of,if one can still ery over such a pure story, The acting is generally admirable. Miss Turner plays the last three acts. we . enough to-give her a great ‘reputation, “aid the absence of hyste.ics and fierce despair is something so marked that it deserves notice. If agony can be expressed more intensely than in that low moan in the second act, it has not yet been done. Yet in the first act Miss furner is hardly light enough, hardly sufficiently flexible. The first act 1s also Buckley’s weak point, but he, too, ri-es to the occasion in the later-scenes.Mr. Whiffen is good, andstill he might be better. The audie ce: wants the old lawyer to bea little more sentimental, a litt'e more. unctious,.as a relief to the general evenness of the other characters. Mrs. Whiffen could hardly be improved upon, In the dignity, the sweetness and tenderness of the mother, she is entirely lovable. Miss Cowell plays ‘‘Mrs. Dick” with a quiet humor that would be ‘more telling in the MadisonSquare Theatre than ia the Baldwin, but the acting is artistic and finished. Muss Leslie has presented an “Edith” so natural and simple, that she is to be credited with a great success. In the little detaile of the part she has disp'ayed an accurate appreciation of the character, and an admirable taste that are not usual in one” 80 young. “‘Herbért” is the weakest, perhaps, in the cast, but he is earnest, at all events. The sceneryis_remarkably -tasteful,and_elegant. The interior in Indian style isone of the most unique scenes ever presented, and the second is a -. new departure in-stage-setting,—Phe. decorations are very fine, Amalgamating Plates. We would call the attention of our readers and mining men in general to the advertisement in another column ofthe San Francisco Plating Works, E. G. Denniston proprietor, 653 and 655 Mission street. The silver-plated mining plates’ which Mr. Denniston manufactures have proved a great success in both quartz and placer mining, and are used everywhere. Mr. Denniston is running his works constantly, filling orders for the Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain mining States, Mexico, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, British Columbia.and Alaska. This establishment is the most extensive and successful in the manufacture of these plates of apy in the United States. The plates made have proved durable and satisfactory. Full weight of . silver is guaranteed on every order. Over 2,000 orders have been filled. Owing to the great deinand for these plates, and increased facilities, they will be sold at reduced rates. Quartz and placer miners would do well to send for price list. The Play of “‘Pop.” Rice’s Surprise Party will make their first and. only appearance before a Nevada City audience on Monday evening in the new musical extravaganza entitled ‘‘Pop.”’ John A. Mackay and Miss Kate Castleton are the stars, and they have kept Sap Francisco good natured for sevefal weeks. The water war has been almost a second consideration. There is more genuine fun and talent exhibited here than is usually found in this class of performances. ‘‘Pop” is One of those Md piétes made up of. oddsand ends, in which the plot is forgotten, and the attention of the audience is entirely engrossed by the excellence of the specialities which follow each other so rapidiy. Mr. Mackay and Kate Castleten evoke a great dea] of laughter by their sayings and daings. Mackay’s imitations of leading actors are very clever. If you want to-enjoy a pleasant evening, don’t fail to engage seats for this funniest of-all funny plays.» Easter Saturday. In Catholic churches to day the services begin by the blessing of fire and water and of the paschal candle, an’ emblem of Jesus Christ, which is lighted in token of His resurrection, and burns during part of ‘the mass from Easter uatil the As. cension.

It had been previously arranged as part of the entertainment of the P. C. Press Association that they .should be present_at and take part in the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Chaffuey College of Agriculture at Ontario, a new colony lately jnaugurated by the, Chaffney Brothers. “A special train conveyed the party from Riverside to Ontario, where they were met by an excursion train from Los Angeles, aud the whole party conveyed by at least one hundred carriages to the base of the mountains seven miles away over the straight broad “avenue lately graded, and bya gradual ascent, reached a high plateau 1200 feet above the starting point, overlooking the whole valley. Here a sumptuous repast was spread and all invited to partake freely, not only of the viands but also of choice Havanas. After the inner man had been satisfied the long line of carriages returned tothe location of the proposed college and witnessed the placing of the corner stone in position with appropriate ceremonies, This institution has been endowed by the Chaffney Brotbera with 320 acres of land and a certain. percentage of all the sales-of land in the colony, and is under the fostering care of the Universi.y of Southern California, of which the Hon. E. F, Spence is Chairman of the Board of Directors, -and as such took paf in the ceremony, delivering an appropriate address which showed «deep thought and careful preparation. It was of too great length to reproducé here. E. J. Wixom, editor of the Pacific Rural Presa, delivered the principal address of the occasion, which was acknowleiged by all who heard it to be a masterly pro:luction. The parties who have the scheme in charge are all honorable men and mostly of the leading citizens of Los Angeles, so that I feel confident that the Colony of Ontario is not a wild eat affair, but that with the water facilities which they possess, it will in a few years equal Riverside. Already a newspaper is being published, the Qutario Fruit Grower, and a large hotel is being rapidly {pasted to Comnpletton: rhe “stone pipe for conveying water over the tract is manufactured on the ground, Everything shows that Chaffney Brothers will do their utmost to advance the~ interests of those who purchase lots in_ this colony. After the completion of the exercises the special train conveyed the participynts to Los Anyeles, where the writer hereof was invited to become the guest of the Hon, EB. F.

We have been considerably annoyed during the past few days, or. in fact from the time that the news was flashed across the continent that amen named Conkling had shot a man named Haverstitck in New York, by reason’of not’ being able to state positively that one of the parties wasa former resident of this city. Scarcely any act, good or bad, is committed east or west but it turns out one or both of the parties who has been the-cause of shaking the earth from centre to circumference, 80 to speak, formerly. resided in Nevada City or at least in this county. After thoroughly investigating the matter _ by interviewing some of the oldest inhabitants, we were made happy by learning that a relationship exists between the female at the bottom of the ConklingHaverstick tragedy and this city, although we freely admit that the ties are not so.close as they might be, It seems that when Mrs, Ubhler resided in San Francisco she boarded fora long time with B. F. Stoakes,an early pioneer of Nevada City. Although this connection is somewhat remote, we trust that Uncle Rufe of the Tidings will consider that we have done the best that was possibl« under the circumstances, and are therefore entitled to quite ‘a_ large amount of credit. f : orcehieiinhiacsiled Latin Sierra County Items.

Union. On Thursday last a terrible accident occurred in a tunnel of the Eureka Lake mine at Columbia Hill, by which Mr. Bigelow, the Superintendent of the mine, and seven other er men came very near losing their lives. It appears that there were about forty men working at the head of the tunnel floating blocks into the tunnel and making preparations to go to work. , Mr. Bigelow with the seven men mentioned were in the tunnel floating the blocks down in the sluices to the place required for puse. While.thus engaged, by aecident a smal] head of water was let on from above, and the rush aarried Mr. Bigelow and his men down the sluices inthe tunnel about athou. sand feet before astopcould be made, All the men were inore or less badly scratched and jammed. Mr. Bigelow and young Robt, Holland and Mr. Kilroy suffered thé tiost injuries, No bones were broken nor lives lost. Mr. Bigelow telegraphed for Dr. Farley, who went immediately up, Although considerably jammed and bruised, the Superintendent forgot his own injuries for the benefit of others.

That is a mistake. The change does not take place till July. : Some young ladies from Sacramento came up to Grass Valley on a visit afew days ago, but owing to the prevalence of the chicken-pox iu that place they have come to this place to while away their extra time. Two or three drunken men are seen on the street every day. When they become noisy the officers snatch them up very quickly, and the drunks seem to appreciate the situation and are not demonstrative. Quite a number of persons in this city contemplate visiting their old homes in the. East within a few weeks. There is talk of engaging a car, as it is thought there will be enough going to fill one comfortably. Somehow or ther the people do not.scare worth a cent about the smallpox.

E J. West, who’ some years ago -kept a restaurant on Commercial Street, this city, and who recently returned here from “Truckee, on ‘Wednesday evening related, to. the TRANScRIPT reporter his experience with the disease which now prevails here to a slight extent and in a.mild and almost harmless fom. “I have been reading with considerable interest,” he remarked, ‘‘various articles upon the loathsome diseasé, but none of them are to the point; They remind me of the newmade wife who was ignorant of. the art of cookery. She went to the cook-book to find out how to make bread, but was cornered when she failed to discover anywhere bétween its covers a recipe for the most important branch of the process, which was yeast-making. Yes, I hada tug with smallpox once, and I don’t want any more of it. I was stricken down with the confluent type in December, 1865, while living at Virginia City, Nevada, and suffered for six weeks. I was keeping a restaurant there then, and contracted it from a physician who was boarding with me. My first symptoms were pain in the forehead and back and side. During forty-eight hours I suffered ten thousand deaths, and the combined medical science on the Comstock could not suggest anything to afford me relief. The third day I was covered from head to foot with pustules, and the pain had left me. My business was turned over to the charge of others, and to the pesthouse I was taken. Twelve hours after arriving there I became delirious, ‘in fact I was a raving maniac. Dr. Downer, now dead, a physician of wide experience in the treatment ofthis disease, attended . me. I was given six cathartic pills ata dose. I-had all the blood-warm tea and lemoua‘le I wanted to drink, and ate cry toast. A fire was built morning and evening to take the chill off the room. I had a competent.male-nurgery~He fastened ne to” the bed so I could not escape during the delirium. The seventh day -my throat began to close. The eighth day Icould swallow nothing. At ten’ o’clock.that-night the doctor took a look at me as I lay there ina dormant state, weak and exhausted, and told the purse I inust die between twelve and one o’clock, midnight. -Had Brother Newton. been there to-console me, and had 1 b-en -washed-of my -sing,-death would have been looked forward to by me then as a blessing; but I was afraid to be cast. into eternity when I thought of my.past.life..The-sembre-cofiin-was brought into the room, and placed ‘ight where, I could not open my eyes without seeing it or close them without: feeling its awful presence and imagining that it was beckoning me to enter its frightful confines. ‘“« ‘What time is it?’ I gasped. ‘* ‘Half-past twelve o'clock,’ answered the nurse with a pitying aes Bh Bh ‘T realized that there was no time to lose, if the docter had told the truth, and I felt he had read the signs aright, “There was but one‘hope left, and that aslender one. ‘Get some vinegar, make it hot with’ cayenne pepper, then take that syringe and inject the mixture into my thioat,’ I said,, remembering ‘that I had at some time heard or read of such treatment. Thinking it was my dying request, the faithful fellow did as I told him. “To my unutterable joy my throat was almost immediately cleared so that I could again receive nourishment in the ordin ry manner. The uinth day I seemed to go all, to pieces. ‘My hair, whiskers, toenails and finger-nails came out by the roots. My face began to itch. For three days the itching continued, my hands being kept securely tied all the time. Sweet oil was frequently applied to my face with a brush. When I was able to walk around there were more than forty other poor wretches there in mach the same condition I had been, although most of them were less severely afflicted. Some ef them had what we called Chinese measles, some chickenpox, some varioloid and some confiuent smallpox, and I was put in. charge of the pesthouse. When [had fully. recovered I’ was physically a much better man than ever before. I was, as you might say, born again.” ‘*Have you seen any of the ten or e'even cases said to exist in this city now?” asksd thie reporter. **No,” said Mr: West,. ‘‘but from what I can learn} think the disease has appeared here in its mildest-form. This climate, the sanitary condition of the community and the good censtitutions of the people generally are sufficient . guarantee that no fears need be entertained of its spreading or assuming a dangerous form here. People who: take’ reasonably good care of. themselves need havé “no fears of becoming infected here unless by actual contact. If they happen to rub against a case of it and are taken down they won’t suffer much, anyway. Ifa person is ever going do better than get the harmless kind prevailing here, and be done with it for a life-time.” “What -do_you think of vaccinapeighbors any longer. y The Thrilling Story. ofa Smallpox Patient---The Coffin Ready, but the Patient Refases to Entcr---He Emerges Triumphautly from the to have the smallpox at all he cannot . . “My theory is that when vaccina‘tion ‘takes’ with a man, he can make up his mind that something’is out of gear with his physical machinery, : And I don’t believe a man owoman in perfect health can contract the] smallpox under any circumstances. It goes harder with dissipated or consumptive people than any one. else, There are mo e or less vases of it at various points on the coast “every year, and very few towns have had the gratification of being without some straggling cases this winter. The principal difference between Nevada City and other places is that here the authorities and doctors and press meet it squarely @nd_ intelligently and go to work to stop it. before any harm is done, whereas the other communities, or some of them at least, try to cover it.up, which is a dangerous as well as foolish thiny to do.” HEARD FROM.

WINTHROP,” The Madison Square Company at Nevada City Te-night. The San Franciseo Chronicle sayof the heautiful-drama and the great company that the people of this city will have an opportunity to see tonizht: The prettiest of modern plays, the most beneficially emotional story the stage hus given us for a long time, is ‘Young Mrs, Winthrop.” Beside it, ‘‘Hazel Kirke” and “Esmeralda” are not worth men-' tioning, and the vast array of what rhave been called dramas sink out of sight. There aie seven characters, feach,ef them typical, each of them drawn in clear, strong colors, and each of them appealing to the best sense of everybody. In the hero and heroine we have the types of a gentleman and a lady drifting apart without vice, without any disagreement save the absolute pride of their natures, The old lawyer isa char: acter not at all uncommon and for ever delightful. The old mother is one of the, most chavming conceptions we have seen, and the brightnatured blind girl inspires the warmest love of an audience, It seems ‘to be impossib’e to avoid crying, but thatis nothing to be ashamed of,if one can still ery over such a pure story, The acting is generally admirable. Miss Turner plays the last three acts. we . enough to-give her a great ‘reputation, “aid the absence of hyste.ics and fierce despair is something so marked that it deserves notice. If agony can be expressed more intensely than in that low moan in the second act, it has not yet been done. Yet in the first act Miss furner is hardly light enough, hardly sufficiently flexible. The first act 1s also Buckley’s weak point, but he, too, ri-es to the occasion in the later-scenes.Mr. Whiffen is good, andstill he might be better. The audie ce: wants the old lawyer to bea little more sentimental, a litt'e more. unctious,.as a relief to the general evenness of the other characters.. Mrs.. Whiffen could hardly be improved upon, In the dignity, the sweetness and tenderness of the mother, she is entirely lovable. Miss Cowell plays ‘‘Mrs. Dick” with a quiet humor that would be ‘more telling in the MadisonSquare Theatre than ia the Baldwin, but the acting is artistic and finished. Muss Leslie has presented an “Edith” so natural and simple, that she is to be credited with a great success. In the little detaile of the part she has disp'ayed an accurate appreciation of the character, and an admirable taste that are not usual in one” 80 young. “‘Herbért” is the weakest, perhaps, in the cast, but he is earnest, at all events. The sceneryis_remarkably -tasteful,and_elegant. The interior in Indian style isone of the most unique scenes ever presented, and the second is a -. new departure in-stage-setting,—Phe. decorations are very fine, Amalgamating Plates. We would call the attention of our readers and mining men in general to the advertisement in another column ofthe San Francisco Plating Works, E. G. Denniston proprietor, 653 and 655 Mission street. The silver-plated mining plates’ which Mr. Denniston manufactures have proved a great success in both quartz and placer mining, and are used everywhere. Mr. Denniston is running his works constantly, filling orders for the Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain mining States, Mexico, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, British Columbia.and Alaska. This establishment is the most extensive and successful in the manufacture of these plates of apy in the United States. The plates made have proved durable and satisfactory. Full weight of . silver is guaranteed on every order. Over 2,000 orders have been filled. Owing to the great deinand for these plates, and increased facilities, they will be sold at reduced rates. Quartz and placer miners would do well to send for price list. The Play of “‘Pop.” Rice’s Surprise Party will make

their first and. only appearance before a Nevada City audience on Monday evening in the new musical extravaganza entitled ‘‘Pop.”’ John A. Mackay and Miss Kate Castleton are the stars, and they have kept Sap Francisco good natured for sevefal weeks. The water war has been almost a second consideration. There is more genuine fun and talent exhibited here than is usually found in this class of performances. ‘‘Pop” is One of those Md piétes made up of. oddsand ends, in which the plot is forgotten, and the attention of the audience is entirely engrossed by the excellence of the specialities which follow each other so rapidiy. Mr. Mackay and Kate Castleten evoke a great dea] of laughter by their sayings and daings. Mackay’s imitations of leading actors are very clever. If you want to-enjoy a pleasant evening, don’t fail to engage seats for this funniest of-all funny plays.» Easter Saturday.

It had been previously arranged as part of the entertainment of the P. C. Press Association that they .should be present_at and take part in the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Chaffuey College of Agriculture at Ontario, a new colony lately jnaugurated by the, Chaffney Brothers. “A special train conveyed the party from Riverside to Ontario, where they were met by an excursion train from Los Angeles, aud the whole party conveyed by at least one hundred carriages to the base of the mountains seven miles away over the straight broad “avenue lately graded, and bya gradual ascent, reached a high plateau 1200 feet above the starting point, overlooking the whole valley. Here a sumptuous repast was spread and all invited to partake freely, not only of the viands but also of choice Havanas. After the inner man had been satisfied the long line of carriages returned tothe location of the proposed college and witnessed the placing of the corner stone in position with appropriate ceremonies, This institution has been endowed by the Chaffney Brotbera with 320 acres of land and a certain. percentage of all the sales-of land in the colony, and is under the fostering care of the Universi.y of Southern California, of which the Hon. E. F, Spence is Chairman of the Board of Directors, -and as such took paf in the ceremony, delivering an appropriate address which showed «deep thought and careful preparation.

We have been considerably annoyed during the past few days, or. in fact from the time that the news was flashed across the continent that amen named Conkling had shot a man named Haverstitck in New York, by reason’of not’ being able to state positively that one of the parties wasa former resident of this city. Scarcely any act, good or bad, is committed east or west but it turns out one or both of the parties who has been the-cause of shaking the earth from centre to circumference, 80 to speak, formerly. resided in Nevada City or at least in this county. After thoroughly investigating the matter _ by interviewing some of the oldest inhabitants, we were made happy by learning that a relationship exists between the female at the bottom of the ConklingHaverstick tragedy and this city, although we freely admit that the ties are not so.close as they might be, It seems that when Mrs, Ubhler resided in San Francisco she boarded fora long time with B. F. Stoakes,an early pioneer of Nevada City.
