Setanta Bae Baily ws NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, NOV. 6, 1869. Nevapa County.—We received a few uays since, a circular from the Immigrant Aid Society of San Francisco, asking certain questions in regurd to the extent of Nevada county, its lands, etc. The area of the county is about 1,200 square miles, the soil diversified, and much of it adapted to cultivation. Extensive ranges of good grazing land can also be found and much . valuable timber. Besides this we have the best developed mines io the State. The Report of the Surveyor General for 1867, shows that at that time 52,890 acres of land were inclosed, and 21,515 acres under cultivation. Wheat was i faised on Aas tres, the average . yield being given at a little more than 40 bushels to the acre. Hay was raised on 10,000 acres, and the yield was 12, 000 tons. One hundred and four acres of potatoes, produced an average of 72 bashels to the acre. The yield of honey was 7,500 pounds. ‘Trees, vines and fruite of all kinds are raised in . profugion, but we will only give the figures in regard to grapes. The report gave the number of vines at 124,000, which _ has by this time probably been increased one half. The amount of wine manufactured was 10,000 gallons and brand 500 gallons. : The county has been steadily improving since the date of this report, and the next one wiil undoubtedly add considerably to the figures above given. It will be seen from the above that Delaware, and advantages of soil climate and resources which, when developed, will sustain a population as large as that State now hay. We have Saystem of ditches and canals, giving . as advantages for irrigation not possessed by any other locality in the United States. Our unfailing streams will furnish the power to drive hundreds of meanufactories, if the material to supply them could be procured. The land, or a-large part of it is unoccupied, and may be purchased at $2 50 per acre.— Many of the ranches alréady' improved may be bought for reasonable prices and we have no lands held by speculatorsin the county, ee THIRTY-FIVE citizens of Augusta, Ga, who served in the rebel army, obtaived “liberal subscriptions” for a “most magnificent banquet” to be tendered to Jeff. Davis, when he passed through that city on his journey from-Charleston to his home in Mississippi. As he illustrious exile lost his dinner, and. the thirty-five citizens aforesaid publicly announce that they were much disa pPointed in not seeing once more the noble but unfortunate President of the Southern Confederacy. Nothing however is mentioned about. refunding the money. ll _ Te debt statement for November shows @ reduction of $7,633,882. This leaves a total unpaid of $2,460,861,190. At the same time, the gold in th Treasury has increased $8,190,052 ; which will enable the Secretary to meet the November interest and at the same _time continue his sales of gold and _purchases of bonds. He has given notice that there will be no change in this respect, the regular sales of gold being, we believe, $1,000,000 w: ekly, and the purchase of bonds, $2,000,000. THE Academy says the discovery of “Junius,” so often announc d, has: at length, there -is every reason to bilieve, been placed beyond doubt by th: researches of the Hon Edward Twisle. ton, who has for the first time called in the aid of a scientific expert in hand Writing the well known Mr. Chas, Chabot. The results will shortly be mad public, together with fac similes of th autographs of Junius’ Letters to Woodfall and George Grenville. “Mr. JONES, you said you were connected with the fine arts ; do you mean that you are a sculptor?” “No. Sir] don't scalp, myself, but I furnish the stove to the man that does.” How. To SHoor on THE WiING.—An English papér has the following on the scienee of shooting, which will be interesting to our bunters, In firing at a bird ‘crossing him he . should move his gun at the same pace as the bird is flying, and aim straight at it. The knack is to pull the trigger. without stopping the lateral motion. The trath.of this may be shown by throwing a ball from one side of a railway carriage to another ; or, better still, ‘when two ‘trains are running side by side, by throwing the ball from the carriaye Window of one into. the uppoBite one of the other. A good shot covers the hare or bird ‘as quickly as he ean bring his gun to his shoulder, and follows it as it moves. If it is too close, so that it would be broken to pieces, he waits until it has gone some way before he pulls the trigger. But if he can not cover it until it bas got nearly te the limit of his range he firesas quickly as possible, Of course, the nearer the quarry the easier it is to kill, and the chief reason why s0 many distance forty yards is because the sportsman is too eager, and fires in haste. Great quickness is no doubt attended with success, but we advise more care to be taken the farther off the game rises. As the forces operating on the shot diminish in proportion to the distance ‘it travels, some allowance mav be made in very long shots, and aim may succeasfully be taken higherand a little in advance of the object But very long shots are inexcusable anlexs the bird is likely to fall on an open grass or stub“ble field, or the retriever can be relied upon to find it when winged. In shooting at an object moving straight away the aim should ‘be rather over it, und great steadiness -is_ required, so that in alling the trigger the gun should not be jerked to one side, A little practice at rifle shooting is of great service in these cases; for no one knows better than a volunteer how often he pulls so that-his shots go to the right. There is more knack and coolness tenooter, for instance, partridges driven over his head, or of rocheting pheasants. There are two waysof killing these shots. Either they may be taken int blank as the bird attains the full —of_its flight—and-turns to away, in which case the gun is bold rest ; or they are followed as they.come up, and an upward motion is given to the gun. It is not bad practice to have a ball thrown up and try to hit it as it turns, but the plan of moving the gun upwards asthe bird rises is the best. Ground game coming. up should be fired at point blank a little below, for there is most danger of shooting over it A little more may usefully be added with regard toholding the gun. Many men hold their left hand close to the trigger guard, but we never saw a really good shot doso. It is inypossible in such a position to have freedom uf action, for the weight of the gun talls beyond the left hand which is used to support it. The great object is to be able to move the gun quickly in the = direction, and ‘to co th's the left and should grasp the piece well for-: ward, and at least as far as the end of the wood work. Practice alune can guide the sportsman how to bring the ‘stock -close—to—his coltar bone and hold his right hand so that the forefinger may pass from one trigger to another with the necessary speed. Experience will soon show him that the pull must be made without a jerk, and if he will bear carefully in mind what we have said about the lateral motion to be given to the shot he will not fail to make many a good bag. Tae CaLiFornta VINTNERS.—It will be seen by the followiug from the New York Zimesv‘ Oct. 25th, that Conyressman Sargent, during the recess of Congress, is energetically at work for the interests of the State: The fruit distilling interest of California has been languishing on account of the stringent regulations applied to it in-ecommon with grain distijiation.— These regulations were inapplicable on account of the variety of materials used and the irregularity of the durations of distilling. The law gives power to: the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to dispense with such regulations in favor of fruit distillers, During the past week, Hon A. A. Sargent of California, and O. H.

She contended there were no bugs in the house—she had never seen one in her room, nor felt one; but that did’nt satisfy our lodger, as he. didn’t occupy the same room.and was positive there was at least a quart of bugs in close proximity to his bed. He procured a small bottle,and began to catch and ‘bottle bed bugs. He persevered until he had caught and corked up several dozen of the pestiferous insects ; and after keeping the poor birds cooped up until they were nearly starved, slipped into the Jandlady’s room one evening and deposited the contents of the "old woman's pillow. It is needless to say that she made it “hot” for bed bags about the house next day.

But no utterance’ of a prophet ever 1 et with more literal fulfillment than one of her predictions of what would be the result of a certain course of conduct on my part if persisted in. ‘You'll scratch a poor man’s head all your life,’ said she, and though twenty years have rolled away since then, her prediction still proves true. I was trying to lay by something for a rainy day out of a salary of $100 per month, yet could not get along with less than three cigars a day, which cost 374 cents,three drams of ‘Bitters’ byway of appetisers, which cost 87} cents more, had to go to the theatre at least once a week, and notwithstanding my selt-denial, lam as poor to-day as 1 was when these pro-. phetic words were uttered.

Yesterday was the day of which this prediction was made, This part of the world was omitted in the programme, unless sultry weather, with a clouded sky be considered an effect of “severe atmospheric convulsions.” A GUEST at one of our hotels, the ether evening, was discovered by the proprietor rather tenderly. embracin the chambermaid.
