They were getting to be 86 thick at. Virginin City thut it was found necessary to invite them to depart, and feeling that» something wonld happen, a great many of them left for this State. A mining Supetintendent informig ug that three tramps called upon hima short time ago and said they bad not bad anything to ent for twenty-four hours except apples and mauzanita berries. He took compossion on them-and gave them a good square meal, After, they got ‘throagh with their meal the Supérintendent told them he did not ‘need any workmen, buatin order to help them along he would find something for them to do for a couple of weeks or so, They worked jast fourteen days, got their money and came to town, He watched their imovements in town, aud concluded he wonld give them more The Sccretary of the Sonate. If the newspaper men could bave. the gay in the election of a Secretary of the Senate, Shoemaker, editor of the Grass Valley Daily Unien, would have no @ifficnity in seewring the place. We copy a few of the many notiges given him by «he press. The Reno (Nev.)

Otte of our citizens found an anonymous letter under his door yesterday morning, It stated thet ubless he discharged the Chinamen from bis premises his property would Shure the same fate as that at Rockliv, Auburn, Dutch Flat and other places.*The citjzen don’t secure worth acent. If the author of snch a wis= sive is discovered he will find that it was a bad job for bim, aud if caught in the act of carrying bis threat into execution we would ‘not give much for bis life. The people are on the alert for incendiaries, “and will make short work of them; and if theré are any herethey had better bear that factinmind., Uur city is well protected at night, and we can’t see how the watchmen discovering it, if they alldo their duty. Inceudiaries never give warniug of what they are going todo, and in fact we don’t believe there is a manin this vommanity base enongh to attempt to destroy our beautiful town. The anonymous letter referred to wus evidently wzittento scare the person to whom it wus directed. ; xo The Chinese. : The Gold Hill News is getting terribly excited about the Chinese being driveu out of Rocklin, and ame ig other things says: Then the citizens of Rocklin demol ished Chinatuwn, leaving not a house standing. ‘Lhe excitewent spread all over tbe county, and Tuesday, the Chinamen were driven from Gra:s Valley, their houses, some fifty in, nuober, burned to the ground, In other towns the same scenes are )eing enacted. : The editor of the News is evidently muddled about affairs in Grass Late News Items, James Watson, sub-coctractor uider Genera] Williams for the construction of the levee arvang Grand Islund, bas mysteriously disappeared, He left the island last Thorsday vight for Sacramento and on Friday weottot eBay.

It is no easy task to segregate the worthy from the unworthy strangers, andtherefore wnany good men are refused work, when, were their characters known, they might easily obtain it. > The Methodist Conference on Card Playing an: Dancing. The Methodist Episcopal Church * Cuvterence has concluded its labors, and the various ministers are wn . route to their various charges, The following resolution, which was passed had an additional clause proposed which occasioned consider-. able discussion : Whereas, It is reported that members of the church indulge in card. playing and dancing, and whereas, iuuch evil will grow of such practieos ; therefore, be it Resolved, Firat, That in the judyravot of this conferente, no renewed soul will relish suck amusements. tecond, That those members who practice such amusements do so in opposition to the word ef God. and tw discipline of the church, and are walking unworthy ef their vocation, _and frreat harm to the cause of God, Third, Thut euch persons should either refrain frém such things or withdraw from the charch. The additional resolution Was to the effeet that each; pastor should readthe above in adaition to the discipline laid down in the books on amusements, and this produced the, most animated discussion. It was contended by some that the reading of this in their churches would in rome instances drive away the members. Rev. Mr Dean said that no ’ person who had been properly converted would desire to dance, as it wasimpossible for any one. whose heart was filled with the love of Jegus “to engage in any frivolous amuaement. One gentlemen recomsnenuded ‘all the ministers present to read “The Dance of. Death.’” Another gentleman was opposed to it bDecayse repuriers and outsiders prerent might imagine that the mem. bers of the church were given to ‘card playing and° dancing. “Wei,and how did you enjoy your dinner?’ asked a passenyer ot another ona ‘Eurepean ‘steamer, the first day out, ee “Den't mention it,” said: the oth_ er, fovlingly; “owt mension} ige Th fs-a good deal like the linaneia! q iectiou-at: don iiss,” Aa ony “How's that”?

We yesterday gave an account of the suicide of John Givenny, at Grass Valley, on Tuesday las’. An inquest was beld and the following testimony taken before the Coroner, we copy from the Union: “Jane Watson says: I reside in Boston Ravine. I have known deceased since childhood ; he was a native of: Ireland ; his age is about 41 years ; J have been living in the house kept by him for about. one year;I last saw deceased alive last. night at half past nine. Ho was in bed where he had been nearly all day suffering from a headache. About half past five this morning, the 19th of September, 1877, 1 went into the bedroom of deceased to see how he was; he was not there; after searching about the house for him seeing the cellar door open I went into the celJar and found deceased hanging by the neck with a rope fastened to the timbers of the floor above; he was quite dead; I called for Michael Conly who came and at my request cut the rope and Jet him down. He had some business troubles which annoyed him very much ; FE did. not bear him say anything that led me to suspect’ that he contemplated to destroy himeelf. i Michael Conly saye:-I reside in Boston Ravine; have been living with deceased about two months; lust saw deceased alive yesterday. He wagin bed where. he remained all day { suppose. Early this morning Etta Jones came to my room and told me that Mr. Givenny was missing and befure I could @ress and get, down Mra, Watson came up saying she had found deceased hanging by the neck in the cellar, I went into the cellar aud sgw deceased hangiag by the neck, Ile was dead; must } have beea dead several hours, At pho request of Mra. Watsou I cut a offering $5,000 reward for the capture of the theives and $5,000 for the recovery ofthe meney, Suortly. af= ter the robbery Cubductor Strong’s fr ight train reached Big Sprivg, and the engine was detached and sent on to Oyalala, whence the conductor torwardeJs brief account of the affair. MM. M. Patterson, the conductor, writes the following story: ‘‘There were from ten to fifteen masked men, They bad the agent captared und a red light out for orders, and the tele came out on the platform to obtain the orders I camein contact. with two men prodncing the revolver in eich hand, and they told me to throw up my bands. They already bad the engineer, fireman and express messenger corralled, They obiained $55,000 in coin and $458 in currency from the express car, They only wept through the passengers in the first class coaches, when freight trnin No. 10 came along and frightened tiem off. “They got $1,300, fonr gold watches and a ticket to Chicago from the passenyers. Mr. Weller, the express messenger, was bruised about graph instrument cut out, When I} Valley. Nota single Chinaman bas been driven-outof that.place. In cegard to the fire there can be fo doubt about its being start: d by thecarelessness of a Chinawoman while she was attempting to destroy bed-bugs. There is noexcitement in this county about Chinamen, and no attempt has been made'to drive them away. Iu justice to the people of this county-theNews should make a correction, and give the facte as they really exist. A Peinted Peint. The San Franeisco S.ock Report of Sept. llth, under the caption ‘Spending MoneyAbroad” has this caustic joke—and it might have added thereto something about the millions sent abroad for wines, cigars, silke, broadcloths, jewelry and even whisky. While so much is said against the Chinese because they }.4 Berg. Jones Bar do not spend in this country the money which they make here, it should be remembi red that a large and influential cluss of Americanr,. whoseexampleis a telling one, are doing precisely the same thing on a the head, but not seriously. They made the agent knock at the express car, causing it te be opened. The express safe, with a combination lock, was vot disturbéd with its con. tenta, Agevtleman vamed Morris lout a gold watch, ticket and $480 io money. I was back flogging train No. 19. They sent a guard with me part way and then put the fire out in the passenger engine." : Blue Tent Gravel Mine. The Blue Tent Gravel Mining Company made their clean up for the season a.short time since. They took out more money than osua},and expect to increase it largely as soon as they have water, as preparations are being made for more extensive work than ever before, The come pany are now engaged in fitting up their claims, and expect shortly to put off a blast of fifteen hundred kegs of powder. With probably one or two exceptions, this is the most extensive: vravel mine in the State, J. Courtney Irving, Esq, the President of the company, is expected here this week, in company, with . Prof. Price. The mine is owned wholly by an English company, and they have cause to be pleased: with their investment. They have spent an enormous amount of money. in fitting up the claiins—building dite!let a fewdays ago to build a new reservoir, which will cover eight acres of ground. The work will be pushed through as fast as possible, so the company will have the use of it as soon’ us it is nevded. The mine is under the supefintendence ef D. T.

The New York bankers estimate that more than $100,000,000 will be spent by Americansin Europe this year. Letters: of credit have been issued amounting to upward of $40,000,000. In view of this statement will it not be well to look a little more leniently upon the system of Mr John, who only imitates the practice of the Melican man in taking money oat of the country.

The total number of adults who visited the last Fair was 45,803. Upto the present time the receipts are estimated at $50,000, with a few more days to run.

The Methodist Episcopal Church * Cuvterence has concluded its labors, and the various ministers are wn . route to their various charges, The following resolution, which was passed had an additional clause proposed which occasioned consider-. able discussion : Whereas, It is reported that members of the church indulge in card. playing and dancing, and whereas, iuuch evil will grow of such practieos ; therefore, be it Resolved, Firat, That in the judyravot of this conferente, no renewed soul will relish suck amusements. tecond, That those members who practice such amusements do so in opposition to the word ef God. and tw discipline of the church, and are walking unworthy ef their vocation, _and frreat harm to the cause of God, Third, Thut euch persons should either refrain frém such things or withdraw from the charch. The additional resolution Was to the effeet that each; pastor should readthe above in adaition to the discipline laid down in the books on amusements, and this produced the, most animated discussion. It was contended by some that the reading of this in their churches would in rome instances drive away the members. Rev. Mr Dean said that no ’ person who had been properly converted would desire to dance, as it wasimpossible for any one. whose heart was filled with the love of Jegus “to engage in any frivolous amuaement. One gentlemen recomsnenuded ‘all the ministers present to read “The Dance of. Death.’” Another gentleman was opposed to it bDecayse repuriers and outsiders prerent might imagine that the mem. bers of the church were given to ‘card playing and° dancing. “Wei,and how did you enjoy your dinner?’ asked a passenyer ot another ona ‘Eurepean ‘steamer, the first day out, ee “Den't mention it,” said: the oth_ er, fovlingly; “owt mension} ige Th fs-a good deal like the linaneia! q iectiou-at: don iiss,” Aa ony “How's that”?

We yesterday gave an account of the suicide of John Givenny, at Grass Valley, on Tuesday las’. An inquest was beld and the following testimony taken before the Coroner, we copy from the Union: “Jane Watson says: I reside in Boston Ravine. I have known deceased since childhood ; he was a native of: Ireland ; his age is about 41 years ; J have been living in the house kept by him for about. one year;I last saw deceased alive last. night at half past nine. Ho was in bed where he had been nearly all day suffering from a headache. About half past five this morning, the 19th of September, 1877, 1 went into the bedroom of deceased to see how he was; he was not there; after searching about the house for him seeing the cellar door open I went into the celJar and found deceased hanging by the neck with a rope fastened to the timbers of the floor above; he was quite dead; I called for Michael Conly who came and at my request cut the rope and Jet him down. He had some business troubles which annoyed him very much ; FE did. not bear him say anything that led me to suspect’ that he contemplated to destroy himeelf. i

Michael Conly saye:-I reside in Boston Ravine; have been living with deceased about two months; lust saw deceased alive yesterday. He wagin bed where. he remained all day { suppose. Early this morning Etta Jones came to my room and told me that Mr. Givenny was missing and befure I could @ress and get, down Mra, Watson came up saying she had found deceased hanging by the neck in the cellar, I went into the cellar aud sgw deceased hangiag by the neck, Ile was dead; must } have beea dead several hours, At pho request of Mra. Watsou I cut a offering $5,000 reward for the capture of the theives and $5,000 for the recovery ofthe meney, Suortly. af= ter the robbery Cubductor Strong’s fr ight train reached Big Sprivg, and the engine was detached and sent on to Oyalala, whence the conductor torwardeJs brief account of the affair. MM. M. Patterson, the conductor, writes the following story: ‘‘There were from ten to fifteen masked men, They bad the agent captared und a red light out for orders, and the tele came out on the platform to obtain the orders I camein contact. with two men prodncing the revolver in eich hand, and they told me to throw up my bands. They already bad the engineer, fireman and express messenger corralled, They obiained $55,000 in coin and $458 in currency from the express car, They only wept through the passengers in the first class coaches, when freight trnin No. 10 came along and frightened tiem off. “They got $1,300, fonr gold watches and a ticket to Chicago from the passenyers. Mr. Weller, the express messenger, was bruised about graph instrument cut out, When I} Valley. Nota single Chinaman bas been driven-outof that.place. In cegard to the fire there can be fo doubt about its being start: d by thecarelessness of a Chinawoman while she was attempting to destroy bed-bugs. There is noexcitement in this county about Chinamen, and no attempt has been made'to drive them away. Iu justice to the people of this county-theNews should make a correction, and give the facte as they really exist. A Peinted Peint. The San Franeisco S.ock Report of Sept. llth, under the caption ‘Spending MoneyAbroad” has this caustic joke—and it might have added thereto something about the millions sent abroad for wines, cigars, silke, broadcloths, jewelry and even whisky. While so much is said against the Chinese because they }.4 Berg. Jones Bar do not spend in this country the money which they make here, it should be remembi red that a large and influential cluss of Americanr,. whoseexampleis a telling one, are doing precisely the same thing on a the head, but not seriously. They made the agent knock at the express car, causing it te be opened. The express safe, with a combination lock, was vot disturbéd with its con. tenta, Agevtleman vamed Morris lout a gold watch, ticket and $480 io money. I was back flogging train No. 19.

The Blue Tent Gravel Mining Company made their clean up for the season a.short time since. They took out more money than osua},and expect to increase it largely as soon as they have water, as preparations are being made for more extensive work than ever before, The come pany are now engaged in fitting up their claims, and expect shortly to put off a blast of fifteen hundred kegs of powder. With probably one or two exceptions, this is the most extensive: vravel mine in the State, J. Courtney Irving, Esq, the President of the company, is expected here this week, in company, with . Prof. Price. The mine is owned wholly by an English company, and they have cause to be pleased: with their investment. They have spent an enormous amount of money. in fitting up the claiins—building dite!let a fewdays ago to build a new reservoir, which will cover eight acres of ground. The work will be pushed through as fast as possible, so the company will have the use of it as soon’ us it is nevded. The mine is under the supefintendence ef D. T.

The New York bankers estimate that more than $100,000,000 will be spent by Americansin Europe this year. Letters: of credit have been issued amounting to upward of $40,000,000. In view of this statement will it not be well to look a little more leniently upon the system of Mr John, who only imitates the practice of the Melican man in taking money oat of the country.
