; i : d K 4 i ig he Daily Branscript. . ‘on the subject of State Superintend“-Heve that in the selection of so imNEVADA CITY. CAL. Sunday, Sept. 12, 1875. State Superintendent, The Marysville Appeal, one of the most consistent Independent papers in the State, has the following to say ent; . : “There appears to be developing throughout the State a strong sentiment among. the people in favor of Professor Carr, the Republican nominee for State Superintondent of Common Schools, We can not say that Professor Carr is popalar be. ‘odtao he is the nominee of the ReWublicans, but from a higher standpoint—because the majority of the voters of this State, irrespective of ‘party, believe he is more competent than O. P, Fitzgerald, the Demoeratic nominee. Therefore, at the judicial election we anticipate a man jfestation of mere. independent voting, Though the State has gone ‘overwhelmingly Democratic, we beportant an officer as State School ‘Superintendent, and one entirely free from politics and withont partisan influence, the electors will be disposed to consylt the interests of Ne ‘gommon sehools‘in preference to partisan success, ‘If Professor Carr is elected his success can not be claimed asa partisan victory, In Iron Pipe Manufactory. George Turner has moved his iron’ pipe manufactory from the Keeney building on Broad street, to the basement of the Skating Rink. He.bas now ample accommodation both for making pipe and tarring it. The yard in the rear of the building is being fitted up fer tarring pipe. The place affords every convenience for heavy work, and there is plenty of room to do it‘in. Mr. Turner has made a large share of all the pipe used in this Vicinity and north of. here for mining purposes, for years. He intends to add to his faeilities so he can supply the whole county with all that is required. a Water. 3 The Union says the V Flume the Grass. Valley water:pipes Friday afternoon. The water from the flume is carried in a ditch from the Town Talk house to a reservoir on Alta Hill, where the town pipes takes the fluid. ~The supply of water will be abundant, we believe, and we pressure will be sufficient to throw a stream high over the highest building in town, and to burst the shingles 6ffof any of the down town structures. Weare glad now that Grass Valley has ‘plenty of water. — oe a Nevada Mine, Tue following from the Virginia Chronicle, will not make owners of Consolidated Virginia stock feel bad: “The Morgan mill at Empire City Company’s water was connected with . ’ The Gras Valley Union says a Lletter from: Reno, Nevada State, dated September 9tHi, says two of the boilers and one cab for the locomotive,to be used on the Nevada County Natrow Guage Railroad, passed through Reno on Thursday. ‘The cab: was called ‘‘Grass Valley,” aud ‘is a nice looking little thing beaati, fully painted. They arrived at Colfax Friday, where they weré stopped , dud will be set up immediately. A ot of the iron for the track has been delivered at Colfax, and very soon track laying will begin. Both locomotives will soon be received at the other end of the line, and not many weeks will elapse before they will be rolling into and whistling in Grass Valley. s The Union says Mr. Turton, of the firm of Knox, & Turton informs us that the tunnel between Greemhorn creek and Bear-river, will be ecompleted by next Monday night, and the grading on that partof the road under contract to Knex & Turton, is being pashed forward with all energy. Atthe Nevada'end of the line grading is being puslied forward. T. L. Hughes, who has a contract fer grading a mile of the road, informs us that he has completed all but one quarter of a mile of his work. Mr. Cloonan, who has the ‘contract for grading here at Grass Valley, two miles inall,claims that he willbe the first of them ‘all in completing his work, ge : New York Hill Mine. oe, Tur Sumese Twixs OvTpoxs.— We saw, last evening, says the Augusta Chronicle, a lusus nature surpassing éven the celebrated Siamese twins. This strange freak is in the shape of-a double child; or, more strictly speaking, two children joined together, The curiosity is the offspring of colored parents—Crittenden and Sarah Jones, of Beach Island, South Carolina. One of the children ig.a perfectly developed female, large for her age and with every appearance of health. The other, who ia a male, is but imperfectly developed, has only the rudiments of limbs and does not eat, depending for subsistance upon its sister. These two beings are joined @gether by a wide band, in the centre of which one of the lungs of these strange creatures seemed -to be lomale will shrink; pinch it and she will cry; Reverse the operation,and still itis the female who manifests sensibility. The head of the male is smali and misshapen, the ears presemting more the appearance of those of an animal than a hemanbeing. The pulsations of the heart and the act of respiration can be plainly perceived in the ligament joining the body. This ligament, if such it can be called, is joined to the girl at the end of the brsast bone, and to the male lower down. It is broad and thick, covered with skip like the rest of the body.

Frelinghuysen, The name of this gentleman has been prominently brought forwardin the other States as a Republican can. ’ didate for the Presidency. He is a nephew of the candidate for. VicePresident on the Henry Clay ticket; isa Senator from New Jersey, a man of great abilities and of spotless character. The Republican party willbe fortunate if it can elect such a man to the ptesidency.’ It would be like ‘ greourrence to the better days of the republic, The Washington Chronicle says of him ; “Mr, Frelinghuysen is one of our very best and safest men, He is intellectually strong; as a Republican, consistently strong; and religiously excelled, He would make a splendid President—one whose integrity would never be questioned and whose ‘grasp of public affairs would bo broad nud catholic, Iu selecting him, we ould not do better; we might do worse, That's our opinion.

At Lawrence a bridge was washed away, and the express and passenger train jumped the track there. The engine, baggage, express and secondclass passenger cars were thrown down the embankment, and the baggage master, news boy, engineer and one passenger were killed, fand four passengers seriously injured. The same storm washed out a culvert near Harvard, Illinois. causing an accident te a freight train, by which a fireman was killed. Another culvert was washed ont two miles from Shopiere, and a freight train ran into the gap, killing the engineer and fireman. <> o> 2 op Stocks, Follewing is a record of sales made in the California Stock aud Exchange Board on Friday: 855 Andes, 2%, 50 Baltimore, 2%, 185 Belcher, 17. 120 Best & Belcher, 343,. _ 15 Bullion, 35. 220 California, 52%. 60 Chollar. 58%. 50 Con, Virginia, 256. ‘ 190 Crown Point, 21%. 185 Lady Bryan, 1%. 570 Mexican, rig 50 Silver Hill, 54, 90 Union Con, 7%. 45 Yellew Jacket, 51; 10 Hale & Norcross, 31. 30 Ovcidental, 34. 190 Gila, 3%, 75 Skerta Nevada, 12, 210 Dayton, 3%. 5 Savage, 65. 25 Prospect, 4. Muaper anpSuicipr.—Charléy L.Blackney, a prominent lawyer of Cattaraugas, New York, went to serve certain papers on Louis Derby, When Blackney was returning Derby followed and shot him four times through the body and head, and afterward mangled his person with an iron bar. Derby returned home and eut his throat. _ Both were found “THERE are at least fifty houses at New Santa Monica now,” says'the Los Angeles Express, “Hardly a day passes that a new house does not go up.

Imperial. whey cull biw “Invasion IV,” ~We mentioned a few days ago that 4 the last clean up of the New York Hill mine yielded about $45 to the’ ton of rock crushed. Hitherto we have chronicled crushing from that mine, none of which ever came under $75 to the load.’ Since the New York Company has leased the Larimer mill the ore crushed is reckoned by the ton of 2,000 pounds;—befure the lease the ore was estimated by loads of 3,500 pounds, Taking these differences in the number of pounds ina ton and ina load the crushing would give about $78 75 to the old fashioned load. So the reck has not fallen off in richness, but there is a difference in the size of aton and that of a load of ore.—G. V. Union. Mrs. Lrxcoun’s Foui. Recovery Denwev.—The Boston Globe's Chicago correspondent telegraphs his Paper to this effect: ‘The attempt, on the part of a newspaper in this city, to work up asensation in regard to Mrs. Lincoln, is received with but little favor by the better part of citizens,. The allegation that she is perfectly sane, and that: her. imprisonment at Batavia is consequently an outrage, is not borne out by the facts, and is known to be utterly untrue by those who are familiar with the circumstances, At the time she was placed in the institution at Batavia her insanity was very marked, though, as is usually the case, it was mot apparent at all times, Since she has been under treatment she has shown sume improvement, and it is thought probable she will -. be allowed to visit her sister at Springfield. Like all insane persons, she is very certain that she is in full possession of her reason, and lettérs written by her to meddlesome persons in this city, have led to the report that she is improperly restrained.of her liberty. Robert Line coln, it is said has been unremitting in his attention to his mother, and no one who knows the character of the man, would for a moment agcuse him of acting wrongfully towards her."’ a! _ Some Carrictsms sy Dickens.—A New York journalist who met Chas. Dickens when he was in this country the last time, gives the following points of a conversation he had with him: Dickens said that Andrew Johnson was one of the most wiriking men he had ever met in his life; and that his favorite novel was ‘‘David Copperfield;’’ that his favorite ‘. character was Agnes, who was drawn from life; that Theedore Hook was a very gentle man; that Tennyson's complaint that he was annoyed iby ‘people coming to see. him was an affectation, because any man with long hair and a slonch hat would be followed by boys in England; that he, Dickens, was walking with Thackeray one day in Covent Market and came to a place where there were two piles of oysters in a windew, one pile being — marked nine pence adozen, and the other six. pence a dozen, and Thackeray stood . ©2¢mies, with his hands behind bim, and said to Dickens,’ “How they must bate each other.” . comdiant as sans reproche would ent upon_one,_bas not been—deter— mined. That opinion seems to prevail, however. It is apparent, at any rate, that the male receives
nourishment through its companion, A well known physician of this city examined the twins lately and pronounced them to be the most wonderful natural phenomenon of the kind in the world. The mother and father of the childrea are strong andhealthy. Twins were never born to them before. The twins are about eight weeks old. They will be exhibited at Masonic Hall for » day or so, by Messr, Hankerson & Weatherby, of Soutk Carolina, who have them in eharge and intend to take them from Augusta to Savannah, and thenee to New York. A Merpourne widower with something of a family and a goodly bank: accovnt advertised for a wife-over a ficticious signature. Several answers were received, aniong which was one that particularly pleased him. The ful, like his own, ficticious. After a brief and mutually agreeable correspondence, a time and place were agreed upon for meeting. At the appointed hour the gentleman was waiting in a private parlor in a certain fashionable hotel, and shortly afterward a lady entered, thiokly vailed. She came in trembling, and did not venture to look up until the voice of the gentleman, in respectful greeting, fell upon her ear, at which she started convulsively, raised her eyes to the face of her swain, and "then uttered a suppressed ery—a cry the tone of which struck upon the gentleman's ear, with a sound not unfamilliar, He lifted the vail and looked upon the scared face of his own daughter, whom he had supposed indastriously pursuing her studies at a school in a town some distance westward from Melbourne. The young lady has since been installed as housekeeper in the paternal mansion, and her papa is not likely to advertise for a wife again until this daughter is married. Mas. Oarrs has beea doing Long ‘Braneh, and this is how Olive Logan writes about her: ‘Under ordinary circumstances to speak of a lady’s seem to be supererogation, but when that lady is young and pretty; when she is an opera bouffe singer; when she is unhappy in her martial relations; when she is stopping at a watering place hotel always the very trepieal hot house in the. nursgry of-scandal, and when her conduct is so decorous that Sir Benjamin Backbite and Lady Sneerrwell and Mrs, Canally obliged to strike her off their books as positively unassailable, one fegls it a bounden duty to tell it jin Gath and telegraph it to Askelon.”’ They celebrate all their hetinee ty 0a their debts, forgiving their have gone to China eal pas. fon cated.

And the whole world would serve you so if you gave them the cause.
