The Independents are to give a

‘Tho-Bagies, of San Juan, expect to
play mateh’ zames of base ball with
'the@ters, of Nevada City, and the
Tree Blues, of “Grass Valley, at an
, early day.
‘Sue Bagtes,.of Beston Raviae, and
the White Stockiags, of Spenceville,
played a well contested. game at
‘ ‘base ball, on Sunday, at Boston Ruavine, and the score was 32—to—$2,
Ata former game the White Stoceings-were the winners.
‘The base ball club formed in this
city some time ago under the name
of ‘the 49ers,” and comprising no
‘__\amembers ofa tender age, has. not

we do not believe they even sv niuch

A correspondent of the Downieville

that occurfrom the use of giant powder, eotmpared with tho arising .
from the ase of black powder, ‘are io

bluek powder a lifetime, aud the giant sivee.it frat came into use, are
‘most frequently the ones that are
injared or kitled. ‘They have-besome

careless in handling. If all che disnsters we read of cogldbe traces up,
nearly.all wogld be found to be carelersness of ptre absence of mind of
the persons psing them; and those
that ‘have ased them longest may be
the next victims. Miners kuow tbat

pockets,’ the mercury getting warm,

Tbe Colusa Sun says: ‘We are
. much pleased to learn that a movement for the erecion of a monument iu the memory of the Honorable. William Watt bas been inaugurated by the citizens of Nevada
county. Thisis as it sbould be.
During his life William Watt was the
active, moving, enterprising, charitable gevtleman—tbe good citizen and
worthy man. No man bas dove s0
much for Nevada county os William Watt, No imaw ever lived iv
‘Northern California whose hand
gave more freely to the wants of the
needy than William Watt. He ‘was
ever ready to respond to the call of
-both charity aud enterpiise. Such
& man deserves a splendid monument,
and we have great confidence that
his friends and neighbors will see
tbat suchis speedily erected. Ap
association huving this object in
view has been formed. A monument
such as contemplated, will be one
nut only of local pride, but will be
duly appreciated by the people of
the entire State. None kvew Wilham Wate but to respect him, and
no intimate acquaintunce failed to
love and admire him.”
