ae Bue Bais, Brenscrit, been beaten in the Convention, and the . SG EAA It RRR 3 k tionesbliapananeibahes ckelicad ollie delepenaleie NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. ———————————— SUNDAY, MAW &, 1868. ConGREssionAL NoMINATIONS.—The Democrats of the First and Third Dis— _tricts have nominated candidates for Congress, and the Second District Con vention has adjourned till August without nomiaating. This action is considered a damper on Coffroth’s prospects. He made the fight in the late primaries, and had more positive strength: than any other man. He could not have adjournment is probably only intended to gain time in hope that something may turn up that will insure the success of anew maa. The adjournment will not change the character of the Con vention, and the calling of a new Convention would lead to an irrepressible conflict in the Demooratic ranks, We are incliagd to think that Coffroth still has the inside track, and he will make a strong fight fer the nomination. — It matters little who the nominee is; he will be beaten, In the. First District _ Axtell, who represents the “regenerated Democracy” has won; Many ofthe party are exceedingly bitter upon him, and his fight will not beso easy as in the last canvass. Inthe Third District the ‘nomines has neither force of character or ability, and would neither benefit nor harm anybody, even if sent to Congress. Hoe hasaleo « harder fight than he made in the last election, and will, ‘we hope, be cleaned out,. He has no qualifications whatever for the position. THB Opposition Line is making arrangements for a weekly steamer, says the New York 7ridune, and closing contracts of a character which assures a long contest. It is reported that Mr. Garrison is to operate the Atlantic end of the route, for which purpose the steamers bought recently will be used. ~The point aimed-at by the Opposition is an equal division of the business, and it is sought by means used by’ the ~~ “Merehants’ Union Express” —the. use of asmall capital against a large one— two millions against twenty. This ruinous fight, for the stockholders, is pushing California ahead with unexampled speed; as can be more fully appre< ciaved by visiting the docks of the rival lines and see the oor; of travelers and goods. fiwannapua ‘Discovery. -—~ The Chattanooga Union says that Mr. Wm: Staples, while digging recently in a salt lick on his farm, twelve miles northeast of Kingston, Tenn., struck a solid limeatone rock, about seven feet below the surface. He found in it a well about eight inches in diameter, filled with very salt water. After his discovery of the well Mr. Staples prosecuted his in vestigations, and to his surprise found @ line of salt kettles, or rather the: remains of salt kettles, The kettles were of stoneware, made of the same material as that used by the Indians for their home ware, such as plates, dishes, etc. The kettles were broken, but their curvature indicated that they were about three feet in diameter, and were about forty in number. A most striking fact connected with this discovery is that these kettles were found at a depth of seven feet below the surface of the ground. Growing abeve them were trees—poplar and oak—which were evidently two centuries old. PEOPLE used to write novels about “Ten Thousand a Year,” it was such a novel thing; but now-a-days it is a very common occurrence. We see it stated that John B, Gough has made an arrangement with the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago, by which all his lectures will be under its auspices. “They pay him $200 an evening for eighty nights in each of the next ten years, That is $16,000 a year for his services seven evenings a month —and that to continue for ten years. ‘That is about as good a thing toi sannali way sae man wants. Tux Revenue ps “Petts have.closed all the distilleries in New York city and . the proprietor, has erected a fine hotgl Hup and finished very handsomely.— . with folding doors between them ,which. ‘ing specially designed for dancing is _ GLENBROOK PARK—THE OPENING Nigut.—The new house gt Glenbitook Park was opened with « grand ball on, Friday evening, May. ist. E. 8. Pratt, admirably adapted for a place of resort and fitted it up in splendid style. The house stands upon thie site of the old building and istwo stories in height, with verandas extending — entirely ‘around it, A large hall runs through the centre and ‘on the left-is-a—hand-+ sothe bar room which has been fitted Next, on the same side is the dining room, which is admirably designed for LANCASTER & ¥ HASEY, Prop’s. nail in the rear, on the same side is the kitehen. On the right ofthe main entrance, a reception room, which is very tastily farnished is open to the guests, On the same side are two) rooms together take a parlor of ample dimensions for the accommodation of a large party. The second floor is reached by a stairway from the main hall, On this floor are two fine. suite of rooms and the dancing hall. The latter be} admirably adapted for the purpose, being well ventilated and ‘lighted by a hansome chandalier suspended from . the ceiling. Carriage sheds of ample dimensions have been built on either side and tothe reat of the house, The grounds about the house have been laid off for ornamental gardens. ‘Trees have been planted, and in a year or two the Glenbrook will, under the management of Pratt, become one of the most pleasant places of resort in the State. On the opening night the guests commenced arriving about 8 o'clock and the place then presented:a most cheerful appearance. The house was brilliantly illuminated, and in front blazed a great bonfire, which threw its light all around, ~The brilliantly lighted house and the whirling of carriages and Grass Valley, while the brass band discoursed sweet music, were enough to inspire a less jovial party than the one we are describing. At an early hour ‘dancing cominenced and the hall was so0n filled. ‘The music was.excel— lent and under its magic influence the hours rapidly passed. There were be. tween thirty-five and forty couples, the two towns being about equally represented. At 12 o'clock supper wae announced and the party. sat down to one of the best suppers ever given in the county. It appeared that the markets had been exhausted and the art of cooking brought into full play, while the best taste had been consulted in the arrangement of thetable. The waiters were prompt and attentive and the gave better satisfaction and all the details were admirably arranged. Mr. and Mrs. Pratt, as host and hostess, were praised by all hands, and the opening night at Glenbrook will long be remembered by those who were present. This place will, become a favorite resort for private social parties, strawberry suppers, etc. Buretary.—On Thursday night, says the Grass Valley Union, the store of Campbell & Stoddard of Boston Ratwenty dollars in small change, and a gold watch were stolen. An entrance was effected by digging through the back wall. of the building, at a point hear the door,and when an opening was made large enough to admit the arm, the bar on the inside was turned and the door easily opened. The bur glars failed to get into the safe which was in the store. The small change which was taken was in the till, No clue to the burglars has been obtained. Tax Cobden Club, of:which Mr. Gladstone is President, offers a gold medal for the best essay on the best way of developing improved political and vommercial relations between Great Britain and the United Stvtes. : ~ tie 8 19 yam Bey aay .
