BaD A Sult*Against the City. The refusal of the City Trustees Thursday evening to allow the claim of $639 5) presented by Dr. C, D. Bobo for medical attendance on the Conway family when they were sick with small pox last Spring, will probably result in a suit for the recovery of the amount.

Tue North Bloomfield Silver Cornet Band has been disbanded, owing to several of its members leaving for new homes, Peter Pardon was in town Thursday of last week, He is decidedly of the opinion thet the new wagon road is a fgaud; that it will be sixteen miles long the shortest. route it can be built, and that the. uphill portion for loaded teams coming this way will be several miles longer than on his road, Peter thinks a boom has been gotten up for the new road that will end in great loss to men who perform work upon it, : -On Wednesday last we were shown a rich specimen of quartz,coataining free gold, taken from a ledge in Pleasant Valley, located by August Rapp, near whose house the ledge is situated. Some years ago the ledge was partially prospected by Mr. Rapp, Sen, but was abandoned. The young man, a few weeks ago,concluded to run an ihcline from the road, tapping the ledge, about 25 feet distant. .The ledge where it cropped out of the ground was but three or four inches in width, but has gradually widened out until it is now about 18 inches, From present. indications the ledge will prove valuable.

Simmons Extract of Tropical Fruit and its companion, Nabob Whisky, arrived this morning at Smith’s, and is selling rapidly for medicinal purpeses. mal8-tf THERE is a great deal of loose talk in Democratic political , circles regarding the ‘‘vengeance dire” to be wreaked upon the protectionist . section at the National Convention of the party. We take very little stock in it, however. The man with the biggest puree backing him will . get the nominstion, no matter what Items of Interest Gathered from on trial since Friday morning, ended . The Peabody Mine. The Tidings of Friday evening says: The Peabody mine is now looking better than it has ever looked, and the,owers have just cause to rejoice, for the prospects are indeed very fine. A. recent crushing of 10 loads of quartz from the Peabody gave a yield of $24 per load. The ore now being taken out is very rich, That quality shown to-day by Superintendent Jas. Bennallack will yield $250 per load. There is a six-inch ledge where this tich ore came from, The shaft is now down 280 feet, and in anothér week a new station will be started. The company are employing ten men including ‘tributers, and are crosscutting. The ledge now being worked is the regular Peabody ledge and not the Rhode Island Ravine ledge, the latter one having been lately run by the company. To say the least, the prospect at the Peabody is very encouraging and Mr. Bennallack says that he has nd doubt but that there will be forty men at work there within one month. The shaft is 80 feet below the present level and there is a drift of 400 feet underground, 2 A Nevada City Invention. One of the most novel and at the same time useful devices brought to the attention of the public for a long time is a window bracket for house plants invented ‘by J. G. O'Neill, teacher of the Grammar school at this city, and which he is just now beginning to offer in the market. It consists of a shelf about eighteen inches wide and as long as the window is wide, which by an ingenious arrangement can be swung house, and in front of the window or to one side of it, with the greatest ease and almost as quickly as the sash can be raised and lowered. The manner of attaching it to the casing does not mar the woodwork, and the bracket when in place is a decided ornament to any house. The advantages of such an invention can be best appreciated by those people who for several months in the year keep their house plants out of doors by day and indoors by night, carrying them back and forth as the sun rises and sets, Such labor can hereafter be avoided by the adoption of the O’Neill bracket, which costs but little, Fatal Mining Accident. Jim Lawrenee, Joe Hayes, a man known as ‘‘Kentuck,” and one other miner whose” name is not given, were caved on yesterday while working in the Forest Springs quartz mine below Grass Valley, and when our informant left the scene they had not been rescued, although a large force of rhen were engaged in removing the debris. The supposition was that none of the four would be alive when reached. ———_o>. Loss Adjusted. D. Ferry, of San Francisco, representing the Commercial Insurance Company, was in town yesterday and adjusted theloss sustained by G, W. Shearer through the burning of the ‘Brown House” on Spring street. The full amount of the policy ($800) was allowed.

After supper several well known artists amused the company with songs, recitations, etc. It was a jovial gathering and all enjcyed themselves so well that they were loth te depart.
During the evening quite a number of congratulatory ' telegrams ‘and presents were received from friends and relatives in this State and the East. The spacious parlors, which were taken charge of in the time by ahost of young ladiew, were decorated in a very tasteful manner with evergreens, smilax and roses, while the garden was illuminated with numberless Chinese lanterns. Nothing was forgotten that would add to the enjoyment of the guests, and it was a happy moment in the lady’s life when she’saw her beloved children surrounded by their intimate friends and well wishers, who were happy in seeing their mother receive the congratulations of such a concourse of ardent admirers of true womanhood. Lumber and Mining. An associated press correspondent gives thefollowing: Emigrant Gap, Cal., May 15th.—Snow is rapidly melting and the:mills will all berunning by the 10th day of June, lumber hauling will not be done this season as in the past, owing to the steam wagon. A road was constructed last fall s distance of six miles to the mills, which will “do away with considerable teams, The present landing place for lumber is two miles below Emigrant Gap and at what is knownas Putnam’s mill. A number of contracts have been recently let for manufactured timber by the railroad and others interested in the business, so the prospects for this place isnot-at all discouraging. Mining has taken a rather sudden atart in the old Diamond Creek country, a@ distance of eight miles from here. Locations have been made on nearly every available quartzledge. Three mills are own running at their full capacity. The Yuba having formely worked through a tunnel started to sink a shaft a distance of 500 feet from the face of the tunne!’, They are now down toa depth of 190 fest, The rock is getting richer and they are getting very flattering results from the mill. Eagle Bird, which is situated about halfa mile up the river, is doing well. These mines are all situated in Nevada counly. Sn ee Ee en Boots and Shoes for 4ll.
