Friday, Setober 24th, 1879. sn on aineeeeeeteeeeteeelenene meme emcee The Grant Reception. _ Te Grant reception at Sacranténto Wednesday was an unqualified successNxevery sense of the word. During the forenoon all the surrounditg country kept pouring in, and by noon there were 10,000 strangers .in the city. At half pass 12 the pro&2asion was formed on Front street. Abont midway of the column.was a earriage drawn by six beautifully caparisoned horses and driven by G. ©. McMullen, containing Gen. Grant, Governor Wm, Irwin, Senator Newtor Booth and Mayor Jabez Turner, an lacarriage contaiging Mrs. General Grant,-Mrs. Governor Irwin and Hon. Henry Edgerton. . ‘The following was the.ine—of march: Along K street to Tenth, to I, ts Eleventh,-to H, to Ninth, to J, to Second, to K, countermarch to J, to Sixth, to M, to Tenth, to N, to south entrance of Capitol: At M and Tenth strests the General’s carriage left the p-ocession and he was escorted to th: stand, passing’ 5,090 school children who were ranged The richest joke of the season is ontwo musicians of Nevada City. They wege the recipients of att invifation Monday to attend a gathering of ‘‘the boys” that was to take place at Grass Valley that evening, Music was to be @ special feature of the entertainment, and they concluded to take their fiddle and guitar along. In order to add to the fun of the thipg, they fortified themselves with pumerous drinks, and aso laid in a flask of the needful. A steady horse anda strong carriage were secured at the Empiré livery stable, and they set-sail. They had proceeded as far asa short distance beyond Suspension bridge, where the road forks, one arm reaching out direct to Grass Valley, and the other connéctingwith across street that leads back to this city via Sacramento street, Unfortunately the driver pulled the by taking the latter. The occupants of the vehicle were so ‘“‘happy” as to be entirely oblivious as to the direc tion they were going. “She's a daisy, she’s a darling, she’s adampling and a lamb,” was the burden of their ‘song. Finally the trusty animal came to a dead stop. “We're here at thie) last,” said the holder of the reina, nudging his com* along either side of his pathway. After the review, Hon. Henry Edygerton made the address of welcome. In ' the evening General and Mrs. Grant . each ‘held an ‘informal reception at the Capitol building, Yesterday the hero of Appomattox was drive. é>.th®2 various points of interest in the city, attended the barbecue, reviewed tha military, and attenlel a banquet by Senator Booth. ‘This morning General Grant wiil leave San. Francisco at ~ about 10 o'clock. : y Sacramento for Grant at Colfax. The following dispatch was published Chronicle: San Francisco, October J. S. Young, Mayor of Virginia City: Grant will leave here on next Saturday at midnight on a special train. He will reach your city on Monday morning about 9 o’cloc<, A.J. Bryant, Mayor of San Francisco. According to the above, General ivait will past through Colfax Sunday forenoon, He has expressed a dasire to pass over the .mountains by daylight, in order to get a good view of the magnificent scenery that is encountered all along the line of railroad, The excursion from this city ‘to Colfax will be very largely attended, i» case of pleasant weather, which the present indications are first-rate for having. Timely notice should be given as to the definite arrangements by the local railroad company, so as to give people all , over the county an opportunity to attend. in Wednesday’s Virginia 22.—To ell Writing on Postal Cards. A long standing order of the Post Office Department has required that all postal cards having any portion’of the message written ontheir face should be treated unmailable. Kirst Assistant Postmaster General gtyner has rescinded this order to the extent of holding that such writing shall not render them unmailable per se, nor prevent their being mailedunless it makes the address illegible. “Ehe public is cautioned, how: ever, thatby writing any portion of “the message onthe face they incur the ris the card being delayed or missent. —~* tae ee Sa Did Net Kuow He Was Mere. as The Stcckton Herald expre ses dissatisfaction because the TxanscriPT speaks of a man ‘‘reaping a big crop of soft-shell English walnuts” in Nevada City, and while calling special attention to the fact that they were the first ever successfully cultivated in this section, places no stress upon what is far more surprising, the extraordinary method taken to gather fthem. The TranSCRIPT did not know the Herald man was in town that night, else it would have given him the full measure of credit he evidently hankers after. SR nk A Sensible Recommendatien. The San Francisco Post, an eminently staid and respect&hle journal that « always thinks twice before speaking, sayag ‘Highway robbery has become so frequent in Cal ifornia that hemp law should be judicioushy enforced,” To all of which _fervent amens rise up from the corpanion, who had got so ‘‘tired” as to take but_little note of what was going on. 2 i They crawled down out df the buggy carefully, and shook hands on the "fact that the horse was not toodrunk to carry them through to Grass Valley. It was at. this juncture that the truth began-to burst upon them. That building across the way certainly looked like the National Hotel. . They rubbed their eyes, and felt of each other to. make sure they were awake. Then’ they looked towards the horse’s head. A sign that read ‘Empire Stable” confronted them. “Did you ever!” ejaculated the soberest: “Hardly (hic) never<did I,” was all that the other's fedlings would perntit him to say, and gathering up their musical instruments each went to his home, ' One of them thas gone to Sacramento, and hopes the thing will blow over before he comes back. The other says he has got tired of standing the whole brunt of the joke, and to get even with his retired friend ‘gave it away” to the reporter. “> Rocky Bar Mine. ‘ he Union says: The drift in this minethat was being runfor oonnection between the new shaft and the old Chavanne shaft has been completed. The drift, was started from “both shafts under the sttpposition that the ledge in both were the same, but it was demonstrated that they were separate ledges, and when the drifts were extended far enough ‘toward each other a cross-cut was rurt to connect them, and upon its cormpletion it was shownthat the two ledges are sixty feet apart, both being of good size and producing good pay ore. With this connection made an important charge in the workitg of the mine is contemplated, and.instead ‘of two sets‘of machinery being used to do the hoisting, one will be stopped and all the rock hoisted through the Chavanne. This will prove quite an item of saving in the monthly expense of the mine. / ‘I'he drain drift from the bottom of the Chavanne shaft through to the New York Hill mine, has yet about 80 feet to run, which will take from three to four weeks, when a perfect drainage will be secured for the mine to its present depth of working. The drifts that are NOW open give access to a large amount of Ore, sufficient for one year’s work without deeper sinking, and in the meantime the present drifts will be extended and # large body of undeveloped ground opened. There is but little water to be pumped now, and with the drain drift there will be none at all, There are between 6) and 70 men engaged abeve and below ground and this number will be increased during the Winter. The mine presents a good appearance throughout, and promises to be among the leading properties of the district, = ; > Faneral Te-day. . The funeral of William F. ‘Lewis, sonof S, G, and E. 8.

And o’er the darksomeé river, Up on the ‘Golden Shore,” We'll roam the vales of Heaven, Through days forevermore. We'll rest in love immortal, In life’s eternal day; And on the airs of Heaven, We'll lift our hearts-in praise. te > Oe ~~ Fighty Dollar Bracelets Lost. Mr. Stafford, traveling agent of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, and. who has been . stopping in this section for some time, id again the hero of a good item. He started from this city to Sacramento ‘the other day with a pair of $80 gold bracelets—a present for his wife— inhis pocket. By some means the box contaitiing them slipped from ithe pocket on to the cushion, Shortly after this occurred he ‘got up and passed into another car, and a Chinaman took the seat vacated. The. latter eyed the package for some. time, but did not disturb it, probably thinking that the owner was close at hand, The train had stopped at Colfax, the passengers had all alighted, and it was just pulling out for the return trip-when one of men ain accidentally discovered the treasure. The train was stopped by using the bell cord, the finder rushed out on the platform and discovering Mr, Stafford returned the jewelry tohim. He declares that the attaches of the Narrow Guage railroad are the most honest set of men in the world—excepting that blarge and growing class known as life insurance agents. A ee -Saventle Wood Sawers. If the Chinese in and aroun . this city had to depend for their daily bread upon what they could earn by sawing wood, they would be starved out of the country ingide of a month. Until three years ago the Mongolians had a monopoly of such labor, Then white men and boys. crowded them aside, and now the. latter have the whole business, A large number of youngsters, aged from twelve to seventeen years, find steady employment for several weeks every Fall, and-earm an average of two dollars per day each. put the money thus earned to foolish uses, others utilize it to good purpose.. A good example of the latter class, is one little bey of eleven years who contributes largely to his widowed mother's support by giving her all of his earnings, Sieatiedinat Found his Pants. Charles Hanson missed a pair of pants from his room yesterday morning under what he considered very suspicious circumstances. He went before Judge Garthe to obtain a warrant for searching the effects of a Chinaman who worked about the premises. While.the warrant was being made out Hanson had occasion to go to the room again, and the first thing that greeted his eyes on opening the door was his trousers hanging there in thgir accustomed place. The reader can imagine the surpnse ‘depicted in his eyes at the discovery, The case of Mulloy vs. Mulloy is 4 Very reasonable. While some of them . wa es. ok An Officer Completely Sold. Among the young meg for whom warrants of arrest were issued in connection with a disturbance that oecurred at. Hamilton Hall, Grass Valley, while Pinafore was being played there last Saturday night, was Geo Kendall. The various parties chiefly interested in'the trouble disappeared before the exa:nination, and Kendall among them. Tuesday afternoon he got. to Colfax. His description had reached there before him. The officer who had it struck up a conversa” tion with him and asked him if he had seen anything of ‘‘Kendall.” Of course he said no, when the officer went on to minute'y describe the very person who stood: before him. Kendall very naturally feigned ignorance as to his own whereabouts: When the-train came along he bade the officer who was looking for him a hearty farewell, and started for Oregon. The knight of thestar is meantime closely watching every stranger who arrives in Co:fax, but has about made up his mind that Kendall didn’t take that route. Recovered Stolen Goods. About a month ago a kit of woodchopper’s tools and some blankets were Stolenfrom Henry Puttemeyer, woodchopper on the Red Dog road. Yesterday morning the loser wanted to take a smoke while at work, and being out of matches went over to -an Italian who-was working near-the V Flume to borrow some. He discovered acrow-bar that had been taken from him with therest of thearticles, and came iato town aftér a warrant for the suspected pacty’s arrest. The latter claims that he bought the implement from a Chinaman, and Bays he can prove it. Ifitis not returned forthwith Mr, Vuttemeyer proposes to have him arrested. BPancing School. Mr. B, Fehnemann, who was formerly connected as manager with a well-known dancing academy in San Francisco, has determined to establish a permanent institution of the kind in this city. He teaches ‘all the latest dances, and his terms are

The hearing of the application on a habeas corpus to admit John C. Murchie to bail is again postpor.ed, this time until 11 o'clock 4. mM. next Saturday.
