Ye THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.— SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 20. California Liquors in Chicago. The demand for California brandy and wine israpidly incleasing~in~the} East, and the better qualities. are much . sought after. The interruption of preduction in Europe in consequence of the ‘war will increase this demand, and if shippers will send good liquors to Eastera markets California will be-. come the chief source of supply. The business will become very profitab‘e. J.J. Ott, of this city, infornis us that his brother at Chicago purchased a large quantity of California brandy at Sacramento, paying $225 per gallon. The freight to Chicag> was 35 cents per gallon in currency, and he sold one half the lot at the depot in Chicago for $5 00 per gallon in currency. He could have-sold the whole at the same price, bat preferred to hold for better ratesoHe-has senton another order, and feels confident that the demand for California liquors will be still better. When Nevada county has a railroad to Colfax the wine interest will be rapidly developed: We can produce . finer table wines than any locality in the States. The clarets which have been made here are pronounced equal to Chambertin ‘or Burgandy by connoiseurs, and such wines as these, are the wines which will be most sought after. This locality is bound to be a large producer. <ies. A GERMAN experimenter has lately discovered the method of producing the celebrated Chinese gold lacker, his imitations being entirely successful. : His method of preparing this-substance is to melt two parts of copal and one} of shellac, so as to form a perfectly fluid mixture, and then add two parts of hot boiled oil. The vessel is then to be removed from the fire and ten parts of oil of turpentine gradually added. To improve the color. an addition is made of a solution in turpentive of gum gutta, for yellow, and dragon's blood for red. These are to be mixed in sufficient quantity to give the de.' sired shade, The Chinese apparently use tin foilto form a ground, upon which the lacker 1s laid. A BLANDER case was recently concluded at the Ontario, Canada, County Assizes, in‘which Miss York sued her step-father, Thomas King, to recover damages for haviog prevented her marriage with Dr. McKay, of Beaverton, by concocting a story which seriously roflected on her character as a virtuous woman. In the course of the trial it waa proved that King had made a proposition of marriage to her himeelf, and that he had willfully slandered her sa that she might be driven to ac. cept him, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the dam ager at $500. Waeerer Cramms.—We visited the works of this company at Randolph Flat yesterday, says the Grass Valley Union of Satarday. A shaft is now being sunk to work the lead they have been so fortunate in striking, and preparations are being made to place ma chinery on the ground at the earliest possible moment. On the Coombe and Grant claims a tunnel is being run for draining purposes, and the prospect ahead of both componies, as well as some’ others of the Squirrel Creek Gains, is good fora remunerative seasen a8 S00n as water can be obtained for washing. er Pe ALMoNDSs.—Hon.

The people of the State are recomsanctuaries on that day and make suitable acknowledgment of tlie Divine goodness which has been experienced by them asa co2munity and as indi. viduals during the year about to close. While expressing our obligations for past blessings, let us not fail also to remember that no evidence of gratitude isso acceptable to the Supreme Being as that which is manifested by obedience to His laws.

A cuURIoUS petition has been presented to Queen Victoria, signed by more than 2,500 women and girls employed in the art of bookbinding,.setting forth the great loss and privation they suffer by the stoppage of the trade in the prayer books and church services in consequence of the withdrawal of the Table of Lessons bill last season. They. pray. Her Majesty to cause it to be introduced into Parlia ment at the earliest possible moment. Toe New York Mail says: The North German Correspondent speaks of the construction of a railrved five German miles long, nearly twenty English miles, in the space of five weeks, as an event perhaps unprecedented in the Fannals of engineering. This is a mistake. In our war there were dozens of instances in which this feat was excel led. Gen. Sherman had a construction corps which more than once built a ‘mile of railway, including bridges, every day, for days in succession, JacoB ScHLANCH, of Lansing, Mich., recently received $1,400 from the sale of land in New York. The possession of so much money rendered him insane, and, after hiding neatly the whole amount, he committed suicide by hanging. The money has not yet been found and Schlanch’s family is in a destitute condition. THE State of Missouri commenced suit a few daya ago, against the State National Bank for the recovery of $363,910 with’ interest, amounting in all to over $600,000. The suit. is. brought on the ground that the bank is the legitimate successor of the old State Bank of Missouri, inwhich the State owned.a large interest. A FEW nights since an Illinois clergyman, who had been routed out of bed at an unreasonable hour to marry a young couple from the rural districts, so far forgot his calling as to beat the would-be bridegroom about the room with a etick, as goon as he discovered that the blundering young tellow had forgotten to procure a license.
