According to 1 the True Blue b: Se ee wayne’ 2 fessor-Edison, in his search for plati* ang the black sand debris of the hydraulic tnines which show them to contain gold amounting to from $400 to $800 per ton, it is probable they . that he was around. will no longer be allowed to overflow and destroy the land of the farmer in the valley below the hydraulic mines. When the miners are convinced that they-are throwing away more gold dust than they are saving, the process of washing will be so changed as . to arrest the evil complained of by the farmers, and the slickens and the debris taken care of to be worked by a process that will save the fine gold now entirely thrown &way or lost.” Prof, Edison has not yet proven that he has discovered such a pro-. ceas. The simple fact that he makes _asaertions regarding his success establishes nothing. He has said that he could do many things which he failed in the end to accomplish. The Oldest Express Agent. A. D. Tower of this city has been regularly in the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co ’s Express Company fora longer time than any other man west of the Rocky Mountains, and with but very few exceptionsin the United States. The Company came to this coast in 1852, and May 16th, 1853, Mr. Power went to work for it. In May, 1857, he ‘was sent to the Nevada City office, where he has ever since remained, At no time since first entering the Company’s service . has he been out of its employ for a single day. With all of these ‘years’ experience in an onerous and vexatious positions he has retained a spirit of cheerfulness and accommodation, and displayed a fidelity in the discharge of his duties that render him as popular with the public as with his employers, A Growing Lodge. The Good Templais L.tge of this city now has a membership of 211, aad is said to lack less than a dozen names of being the banner organization of the kind in California. .The hall where they meet is crowded at every convention, a large majority of those belonging taking an active interest in the reform removemeunt, Meantime, as the lodge grows, so does the number of saloons, there now being overthirtyin town.

He met his ' gffianced on the stree‘, and she ap. peared totally oblivious to the “fact He went to! her home the same afternoon to get an explanation of her refusal to recognize him. She sent word to the door that she was too busy to _receive a call from him, aud would not beat leisure inside of the present century.__He is. ata loss to account for the turn things have taken. The reporter of the TRANscrI.'T therefore will assume the delicate task of posting the victim on the true inwardness of the racket, by making the following statements of facts: He has a peculiar habit of wiggling his nese. It is a‘very funny thing to see him do it, and is likely to give any one the impression that. he has a pain somewheres. Now # happens unfortunately fur him that a lady friend. of his affianced was visiting at the latter’s residence recently, and met After he had gone the twodamsels began to canvas his merits. The visitor observed. ‘‘He is rather nice, but I don’t quite like the way lie wiggles his nose. He must be suffering from some afflictiom. Perhaps it’s only tight boots, though.” Such a peculiar tone was. given to the three last words that the other young lady put on herthinking cap. She was very solemn 4ll the evening. Theresult was-that-—-next tday she threw offon him as stated in the first part of this article. Before long the mether observed the cooling off process that had taken place; and after some persuasion got this explanation out of her daughter: ‘‘Ma, you know Mr. has been coming here ever so often, and yet scarcely an evening of them all but he brought a pocket full of ‘ peppermint lozenges. I like candy, © but ‘. not one kind for a steady diet, and I found out from Miss —— when she was here that he has the stomach ache all the time. actions show that he thinks I “have the same trouble, I won’t have another thing to do with him.

Collected the Bill. — When officer Scott goes after a . man to collect a bill, he generally accomplishes his object. Karly yeaterday morning a stranger who had been on a drunk all night went into ® pig's feet saloon on Broad street, run up a two dollar and a half account, and then wa'ked off without paying for it, although he had money in his pocket. Mr. Scott followed him to his room in the hotel on being apprised of the tact, and found him in bed. He ordered the officer out, but the latter would not leave without the money. The two finally got out into the hall and were arguing about the matter, when the collector captured the debtor and gave him his choice of going to jail or settling the scdre. The fellow finally weak@hed, and handed over thecoin with a threat that he would get even yet for being forced to ‘shell out,” What's worse his . , The fodence.

The others all went to bed or attendad to their ditties as usual, knowing full ‘well there wonldn’t be any phenomena, and laughing in their sleeves at those who were being taken in.

Davis vs. Caleb Harrington is ‘now pending in the County Court, counsel having agreed to submit the same on written briefs, Plaintiff sues for $265 for labor and services, which defendant meets with a general denial. From the testimony it _appears that in 1877 defendant and others entered into a written contract'with plaintiff under which he was to work as miner, at the rate of $3 per day. Of this aum $1.50 was to be in’ to go towards purchasing an interest in the claim. The defendant, Harrington was the Superintendent of the mine and all the work was performed under his personal direction. , After plaintiff had worked for 77 days, defendant discharged him and ordered him to stop work, and so it is alleged prevented the fulfillment of the contract. Plaintiff now sues for reasonable wages, asserting breach of contract by defendant in failure to pay the daily wages, in unjust discharges and prevention of labor. Over a year afterwards plaintiff and defendant had conversation about working the claim on contingent shares ofthe outcome, and defendant says some 10 days’ work was done under this. Plaintiff denies that he ever did any work under it. In March, 1879, plaintiff says that defendant left orders with defendant’s wife for plaintitf to go to work for him for,wages, and under it did work for 10 days, Defendant maintains that the stoppaze and discharge of plaintiff under the first contract was consented to by the latter, but this plaintiff denies. Two witnesess testified that defendant swore directly contrary at the previous trial of this case, from what he does now. The case has been tried before Judge Paynter's Court at Grass Valley and in the County Court, the plaintiff having nad judgment in his favor on both occasions. A.

The reporter of the TRANscrI.'T therefore will assume the delicate task of posting the victim on the true inwardness of the racket, by making the following statements of facts: He has a peculiar habit of wiggling his nese. It is a‘very funny thing to see him do it, and is likely to give any one the impression that. he has a pain somewheres. Now # happens unfortunately fur him that a lady friend. of his affianced was visiting at the latter’s residence recently, and met After he had gone the twodamsels began to canvas his merits. The visitor observed. ‘‘He is rather nice, but I don’t quite like the way lie wiggles his nose. He must be suffering from some afflictiom.

Collected the Bill. — When officer Scott goes after a . man to collect a bill, he generally accomplishes his object. Karly yeaterday morning a stranger who had been on a drunk all night went into ® pig's feet saloon on Broad street, run up a two dollar and a half account, and then wa'ked off without paying for it, although he had money in his pocket. Mr. Scott followed him to his room in the hotel on being apprised of the tact, and found him in bed. He ordered the officer out, but the latter would not leave without the money. The two finally got out into the hall and were arguing about the matter, when the collector captured the debtor and gave him his choice of going to jail or settling the scdre. The fellow finally weak@hed, and handed over thecoin with a threat that he would get even yet for being forced to ‘shell out,” What's worse his . , The fodence.

Davis vs. Caleb Harrington is ‘now pending in the County Court, counsel having agreed to submit the same on written briefs, Plaintiff sues for $265 for labor and services, which defendant meets with a general denial. From the testimony it _appears that in 1877 defendant and others entered into a written contract'with plaintiff under which he was to work as miner, at the rate of $3 per day. Of this aum $1.50 was to be in’ to go towards purchasing an interest in the claim. The defendant, Harrington was the Superintendent of the mine and all the work was performed under his personal direction. , After plaintiff had worked for 77 days, defendant discharged him and ordered him to stop work, and so it is alleged prevented the fulfillment of the contract. Plaintiff now sues for reasonable wages, asserting breach of contract by defendant in failure to pay the daily wages, in unjust discharges and prevention of labor. Over a year afterwards plaintiff and defendant had conversation about working the claim on contingent shares ofthe outcome, and defendant says some 10 days’ work was done under this. Plaintiff denies that he ever did any work under it. In March, 1879, plaintiff says that defendant left orders with defendant’s wife for plaintitf to go to work for him for,wages, and under it did work for 10 days, Defendant maintains that the stoppaze and discharge of plaintiff under the first contract was consented to by the latter, but this plaintiff denies. Two witnesess testified that defendant swore directly contrary at the previous trial of this case, from what he does now. The case has been tried before Judge Paynter's Court at Grass Valley and in the County Court, the plaintiff having nad judgment in his favor on both occasions. A.
