Sheriff Tompkins of this county is @ granger born and bred; but for all that he is not one of the single-breasted, muzzle-loading, half-cotton, ] er: phyraceous clod-hoppers sach as are -xrown on the agve plantations around Marysville. . Early in the 60s, before the last great flood, he. settled on'the Yuba below that town, buying creeping age then, and the most aatute blackmatlers didn’t have the faintest suspicion that it would ever become the good picking for them that it has since, He gargs uy that ranch long, though. storm came up, and although not: a_hard one he saw that a man who didn't have adiving suit and ag ark for winter use hed no business running afarmthere. He didn’t believe in the kind of agriculture where it was necessary to keep his crops anchored to terra firma about half of the year, and to build his house, barn and fences on stilts, So he threw the farm back on the original owner's hands and came up into Nevada county where hecould be above highwater. mark. He has been a successful grain and stock grower here. He knows all about crossing the different. breeds of corn and hay and wheat so as to get the best results. He knows just what the condition of the moon should be when horse chesnuts are planted, and how to raise the colts after they are sprouted. He understands the value of slickens as a fertilizer, and knows a pumpkin tree from a potato stalk just as quick ashe seesit. His hair is full of hayseed, and he can gee haw a ten ox team over a foot-bridge if it’s only strong enough. He's a thoroughbred granger, but one of the broad, expansive kind who goon the theory that there are other men jn the world besides himse'f, There isn% a man in the State that more clearly dis~ cerns the foolishness of the grangets in carrying on this litigation against the miners, and he doesn’t mince words in gaying so. He knows from® ‘his ownexperience down here that Nature never intended* ati of the because the water drove him out before there was such a bugaboo as sickens thought of. A Convert’s Troubles. Charles Johnson, who wasemployed by Jas. Kitts as omnibus driver when the latter started the opposition line between this city and Grass Valley over a year ago, was ono of the most promising converts turned out at the recent religious revival in our sister town. He had been an opium smoker, kept the lowest kind of company, and was a hard case’ generally, as he admitted after his conversion. He confessed having done many wicked things, but there was one important thing he forgot to speak of. It was the robbery of ‘Wood's tailor shop in Grass Valley some time ago, for which crime he was arrested a couple of days -since, His alleged connection with the deed leaked out through aimissions made by Geo, Fox, a State prison bird of considerable experience who was a few months ago sent from this county to Folsom penitentiary for burglarizing a boarding house in Grass Valley. Someof the :church people at Grass Valley are trying to have the matter drepped, believing the young man’s transformation _to be sineere, Someof the authorities who worked tip the case de not seem to altogether like the idea of &tting him escape for such a reason without further investigation. It will be interesting to note whether church or law will have the say. 5 Thauksgiving Parties. There will be no lack of Thanksgiving parties throughout the county this year. The Guild society at Grass Valley will give one at Reform Hall on Wednesday night. Thurrday might one will-be given at Hunt's Hallaa this city by John Michell; our friends at Moore's Flat will dance at Jerico Hotel; and at You ‘Bet there will bea ball in Odd “. FeHlows’ Hall. Probably there will also ‘be similar gatherings elsew here, but as to that fact we are not advised. A Good ‘Appointment, County Surveyor Hartwell has been appointed U. S.

Burns as fireman and Dick Mendenhall as conductor. The rain of that morning had lousenel the earth of the steep embankments (some 50 feet high) at the ent just before reaching the tunnel below You Bet station. The debris had fallen on the track covering . it for fifty feet to a depth of about four feet, A curve hid the scene of the slide from the engineer till the locoinotive was almost on it, Owing to the speed at which it was going the train could not. be stopped, but ran upon the mass, the @ngine and cars retaiuing their upright position. Engineer Craig was. slightly cut but not ineapacitated from. attending . to his Mendenhali was standing. in the
coach facing the engine, and when the cqilision occurred he was thrown ‘forward in such a manner that hia left hand went through the glass an artery and a tendon. He came near bleeding to death, the binding being put on wrong at first. He fainted, but was soon restored by proper treatment. As soon as the accident was reported to Superintendent Kidder he put a force of The embankment coritinued to cave, causing themen to be timid about working there aud greatly delaying operations, After dark U. P. Loughridge took a position on one of the box-cars, and by the rays of a headlight warned the laborers of each new slide, Yesterday the. trains were runing On time as usual, The damage to the rolling stock was nominal, the cowcatcher of the engine being broken.
