NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA,
LOCAL . INTELLIGENCE,Ja McCue vs. Stack anp RanROAD CoMPANIES.—Most of our readers
remeniber well the redoubtable Jim
McCue who carried on such a lively
opposition in days gone’ by to the California Stage Company, first between
North San Juan and Marysville and
afterwards between this city and Sacrariento—and no man or set of men ever
annoyed the Company as did McCue.
The Company could always manage to
pun or buy off all but. the hero of our
yarn. Not only by reducing the fates
toa living rate he annoyed them, but
by bidding for carrying the mails on
their principal and best paying routes.
Jim Haworth, the President of the old
company, will admit to-day that he
was the “worst egg” they éver ran
against. McCue was not to be. bought
or blaffed off. He was a sociable fellow, popular with travelers, and withal
a good-hearted man, But the railroad,
favored the old company, giving them
a reduction in tickets, arid this of course
goon let Jim out, The next thing we
-hear of him he was a passenger on the
Pacific Railroad from Sacramento to
Colfax. When the Conductor called
for his ticket Jim handed the fare to
hiny in greenbacks: The Conductor
refused it, and McCue was put off the
cars. Going back to Sacramento he
commenced suit against the company
for $50,000 damages. Whatever became of this suit we do not know. Jim
. had occasion to go over the line again,
offering as before his greenbacks. The
Conductor again refused them, but let
Jim continue on his journey free of
charge. On -his return to. Sacramento
the’ Conductor reported the case to the
company. The result of the conference
months ago.a friend of ours was on the
cars coming to Colfax, and when the
Conductor came along he commenced
searching for his ticket, and McCue,
who was ptanding opposite, asked,
“What are you looking for? your
ticket ?’? Our friend ‘replied that he
was. “Well,” said Jim; “I’ll swear
you’re green. I go over this road when
I feel like it, and have made up my
mind ‘that this company never. shall
have another dollar of my money. . I’ve
paid them all I ever intend to, and am
going to ride in their first class cars
whenever I d——n please ; and if they
. don’t like it they can go to h—1!” We
learn on good authority that the railroad company have come to the conclusion that Jim is a hard customer,
and in order to save further annoyance
have issued instructions to. the Conductors, “not to say anything about
fare to Jim-McCue, but let him come
and.go over the road whenever and
wherever he pleases.”
CHANGE IN THE Post OF FICE.—Postmaster Guild, with a view te the comfort of those who have business at the
General Delivery of the Post Office, has
moved that department to the inside of
the building, and fitted up a window
where parties who have occasion to
apply for letters will ndt be required to
stand on the street as heretofore. This
change will be welcomed by the public.
M. Cannon, County Recorder elect,
has removed with his family from
Omega to this city, having secured the
house formerly occupied by Fred. Miller,
‘adjoining J: J. Ott’s place, on Nevada
street. Mr. Cannon’s term of office will
commence on the first Monday of
March.
CHANGE OF TimE.—The stages of
~Colby’s Nevada and Dutch Fiat line
will hereafter leave this city at 1 o’clock
P. M,, daily to connect~-with the Hastward bound passenger train at Dutch
Flat station. The stages of this line
arrive in this city at 11 o’clock a. M.
daily, with passengers and mails from
' the Hast.
BALTIMORE OysTERS.—A lot of Baltimore oysters were brought to this city
on Thursday last, and sold for $2 25
per can, the can containing about five
dozen. 3
BENEVOLENT.—Jas. Monro and G. v.
Schmittburg will collect subscriptions
to the Benevolent Society to-day,
Leorung ‘To-Nicnr.—The young
and popular authoress Miss Anna M.
Morrison, will lecture at the rooms of
the Yonng Men’s Christian Association
to-night. She is highly spoken of, and
as her lecture is free, there will no
doubt be a good attendance. Her subject, “Memory, and its influences” is an
excellent one, and she will undoubtedly
do it justice.
UnbDER SHERIFF PotrEeR who was
thrown’from his sulky a few days since
at Grass Valley, is still confined ‘to his
room. His knee and ankle are considerably, swoolen, and he is unable to
walk without crutches:
.THE Vallejo Recorder says there is
not money enough in the State to move
the agricultural products, or our railways and navigable rivers would not
be lined with sacks of grain which
should long since have been in market.
Tue Sun Peart is decidedly the
best‘preparation for the removal of tan,
freckles, &c., fromthe face, ever mtroduced into the market. It is for sale at
every drug store throughout the land.

Dyspepsia in the Pacific
Nowhere in the United States has dyspepsia heretofore been. more general, or marked
with more distressing spmptom:s, than in
California. Luxury,”high living and dissipation in the cities; hardship, privation, irregular habits, and the effects of malaria in the
mining regions, have combined to render
CuRontc INDIGESTION one of the most terrible scourges of the Pacific States. It isa
source of satisfaction, therefore, to be able
to report THE GRADUAL AND STEADY DECLINE
OF THE DISEASE and its distressing concommittants on this side of the Continent. As
this happy change n to be perceptible
soon after HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS had attained the rank of a sTaNDARD
REMEDY ir this region, and as it has become
more and more apparent, in proportion to the
increasing sales of the gREAT VEGETABLE &PECIFIC, reason suggests that the bane has been
. Of the @ENIAL BLIxr advertised as its ANTIpots. Unprejudiced physicians admit this to
be the fact, and abandoning all the ordinary
stimulants, as well as the astringent tinctures
and mineral excitanta of the pharmacopaia,
are now prescribing the BITTERS as a cure
POR EVERY FORM OF INDIGESTION, The preparation possesses three great advantages over
every other so-called stomachic, It is Nor
MERELY A TONIC, but combines the properties
of an ANTI-BILIOUS MEDECINE, & GENTLE LAX,
ATIVE, and & BLOOD: DEPURENT, with those of a
WHOLESOME STIMULANT, It neither depletes
nor excites; but strengthens, soothes, purifies and restores. No medicine ever introduced into the Pacific region has so entirely
gained the confidence of every class of society,
or approached in the extent. of its sales HOSTETTER’S BITTERS.
