The Grass Valley Unien says there is talk dewn there that, some of the defeated, candidates at the late county convention are about to bring out an independent ticket. That may be true as far as relates to the victims of the Democratic conYention, but-there are no soreheads "this year among the local Republicans. They are almost as proud of ~“the'ticket as though they themsélves were on it, and theyare going to work and vote for it like men and patriote. The enemy sends its emissaries over into our camp occasionally to try and kick up a muss, but the emissary’s breath gives him away 48 soon as he enters the lines. of: the Republican camp, and his power for doing harm is gone‘at once. > Attention Voters.

If there.is one thing that the average country newspaper man regrects more thsn another, nine times out of ten it is the fact that he is not an expert in shorthand. Daily Opportunities are presented him where a xnowledge of the art, or science, Or profession, or whatever you please to call it,, would be of great value. It would enable the correct reporting of public meetings, speeches,’ dog fights, Democratic squabbles, and other matters of public interest with & precision that cannot be attained by the fastest longhand writer, It really does seem, gentle reader, that the beauty and value of a system that enables one to transmit to paper, as they are expressed, the words of others, is little appreciated. In the whole county of Nevada there is but one person who is fully qualified to: report correctly a platform speech or the proceedings (including testimony and argument) of a case in the courts, and that person is the present Court Reporter. The State Legislature fully recognizing the importance of the matter, has provided for the appointment of court reporters, and hag in these words, in section 270 of the Code of Civil Procedure, specitied the qualifications of such reporters: ‘*No person shall be appointed to the position of Official Reporter of any court in this State, except. upon satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and. without being first examined as to his competency by at least three members of the bar practicing in gaid court; such members to be designated by the Judge or Judges of said court. The committee of members of the bar’ so designated shall upon the request of the Judge or Judges of said Court, examine any person as to his qualifications whom said Judge or Judges may wish to appoint as Official Reporter, and no person shall be appointed to such position upon whose qualifications such committee shall not have reportegpfavorably. “The test of competency before such committee shall be as follows: The party examined must write in the presence of said committee at the rate of at least one hundred and fifty words per minute, for five consecutive minutes, upon matter not previously written by or known to him, immediately read the same back to the committee, and tranascribe the. same into long-hand writing plainly and with accuracy. If he pass such test satisfactorily, the committee shall furnish him with a written certificate.of that fact, signed by at. least a majority of the members of the committee, which certificates shall be filed among the records of the court.” The Legislature has carefully guarded this position against unworthy or incompetent persons,¢gnd while the standard is high, yet the responsibility is euch that an exalted degree of excellence is essential. Even the Judges themselves cannot (if they desire) appoint any person to fill the position of Court Reporter unless such person possesses the qualifications prescribed by the statute, More attention should be paid, especially by young people, to oultivating this business of phonography, for it is the source of much profit to all who acquire and properly apply it. ‘Time is money,” and the necessities of this fast age eall for a more general knowledge of and proficiency in a system of writing that will effect a saving of time to business and professional men, without jeopardizing accuracy. A Good Clean Up. # The Birdseye Creek Mining Company, which was this month enjoined in the anti-debris suit of Peter Hart vs. Liberty Hill Con. W. and M, Co., has beeen yielding well for sometime, The New York Mining Record of the 20th instant says :— “The Directors have received the following telegram from ¢. 8S, Goodwin, viz: ‘We have eleaned up, result being as fullows: Red Dog $14,500; Uncle Sam, $5,000 ; Neece & West, $8,000. Total $27,500. Remittance, $7,000.’” Twenty thousand and five hundred dollars of this money was expended for labor and supplies, and the stockholders received seven thousand dollars. Yet, the Valley hounds say such mines are_a curse to the State ! —_—-— 0 <P e * Shall We Elect Justices? ‘There is some*doubt as to whether Justices of the Peace can legally be elected at the coming election. The incumbente claim that under the Constitution they are State officers rand hold for four years. The Supervisors of San Joaquin county have refused to include the office of Jus-, tice of the-Peace in their call for an election and they will be at once sued in the Supreme Court on a petition for a writ of mandate directing them todo so. It is expected~that ‘a decision will be arrived at speedily. There are upwards of 600 Justices in the State and they have formed an association to defend their rights. Et Campaign Hats at Barrett's, tf An Element That Aspires to Run Other People’s Business. Partisan wvewspapers are often over zealous in their efforts to advance the interests of political -aspirants, and without’ any conception apparently of the service they strive to perform, frequently lend weakhess instead of strength to an issue. Some of the papers of this .county should be more circumspect.—TriWeekly Herald,. We know not at‘whose suggestion our contemporary published this Bansbyism, and care less; but Sthe drift of it is apparent after a careful microscopical examination. It is sop thrown out to win the plaudits of an Element in almost every community (it is pretty well represented in Nevada City, as we know to our inexpressible disgust,) that neglects its own business to tell other people how theirs should be conducted. This element is the bane of the Herald editor and every other newspaper man in the world. If he writes that business is dull, the Element stops him on the street before thepaper is dry frdm the press and exclaims, ‘‘My heavens, man, don’t you know that kind of an admission is calculated to depreciate property and discourage business men? You ought to correct the impression in your very next issue.” Ifthe Herald man printsa month later that Nevada City is prosperous place, the Element will jump on him as he ‘comes around the corner ‘and say with tears in its eyes, “Oh, how could you do it? You will bring working and businees men here from all parts of the State, glut’ the labor market and crowd out the stores with new ones.” The Element gets particularly offensive about election time, It loafs around fiom morning to night wearing its jaws out in telling how it would like to run a newspaper through a campaign just to show the world what it could accomplish by the exercise of alittle ‘‘conception of the service to be performed” mixed with a reasonable quantity of ‘‘circumspection”—a combination that the hearers are assured no newspaper man was ever known to possess, The TRANSCRIPT used to listen to the Element, trying to please it; but some years ago we found it was determined not to be pleased; so now when it comes aneaking up the stairs of this office and gives hints or orders as to how to run the paper it is told to go to the devil. The paper has not as much as inquired why the Element and its influence have quit this establishment never to return. In fact, it seems to feel as well as ever nothwithstanding the owners have taken full charge and are running it to suit themselves, 0m 0 A‘Chapter on Kicks. ‘All at Sea,” the musical comedy about which so inuch has been said of late, was onthe bills at Nevada Theatre last night, with KateCastleton and her company in the cast. To-night will be the second and last performance, when there will. be a complete change of songs, etc., and each lady present will be presented with a fine photographic souvenir of Kate Castleton, whose kick we told about in yesterday’s paper. Speaking of kicks, a baldheaded man doing business on Broad street dropped jin yesterday to tell the Transcarpr what he knows about ’em. Said he, ‘‘Write it down just asI tell you. Ready ?; Well, here goes, There is the kick brutal, which is bestowed by the lower order of mankind upon his fallen enemy; there is the kick paternal, that comes from the head of the family upon the form of his daughter’s unwelcome caller; there is the kick political, by which defeated po litical candidates show their humanity; there is the kick of caution, which your friend gives you upon theshins under the table wheu he wishes to warn that the conversation is taking a dangerous turn; there is the kick destructive, which comes from one of Jove’s thunderbolts, from a mule; there is the kick elevative, by which young ladies, in a twinkling, lift their skirts to their hand as they are about to cross a muddy street; then there is the can-can kick, the ballet kick, yes, and a million other kinds of: kicks there are, but above them all is the scientitic, dreamy, poetic, graceful kick suggestive: it is the kick supreme. There isno kick but the refined, suggestive kick, and Miss Kate Castleton is its prophet,” . Another Republican Club. Another political club is being organized at this city and will consist entirely of young Republicans. One hundred attractive uniforms and as many tube-torchee have been received, and the boys expect to have the banner company of the county. Siete er Le ee Don’t Trifle with the Teeth.

Several of the Nevada City Democrats called at the Transorrpr office yesterday to express their gratitude because this paper had shown them how to get a candidate for the Assembly in the Fourteenth District, viz: import him from some other District‘alle same would-be Congressman Sumner, __ “It was a’happy thought on your part,” said one of the Democrats, “and now that you have put us on the right track I don’t see why we can’t get some man from Grass Valley or San Juan to stand in as the Democratic candidate for Supervisor in Nevada township. Garver could have beaten the socks right off from Mulloy, although he wouldn’t have made much ofa ran for Sheriff or Treasurer—at least we told him so when we refused to give him a chance to run for either of the latter offices, which he wanted, and offered him the nomination for Supervisor, whith he wouldd’t have at any price under the circumstances. Since Garver has refused to stand we have been to several other men that we know are popular and calculated to make good Supervisors‘ if elected, but they just answer by asking us if we take them for tarnation fools, There are several men doing nothing thatare willing to take the chances on beingelected if we will put their name on and furnish them money from the County Ceatral Committee’s treasury to make a lively fight with, but we are not hunting this year after candidates that have no sack. If Grass Valley and San Juan fail us, we may have to get Sumner to send up one of his friends who has a carpet-bag instead of asack. If that won’t work, may the good Lord help us, for we can’t help ourselves as we will be in such a frightful fix.” Sa etind The Latest ‘‘Mine Finder.” A. 8, Winchester, Esq., for many years a member of the art preservative, was in town yesterday and called around to take a look at the TRANSORIPT’s well equipped newspaper and jeb printing office. Mr. Winchester’s home is at Oakland, but at present ‘he and his wife are stopping at Pike City. He says that Mrs. W. is what iscalled a psychometrist, or a reader of the soul, ‘and according to his statement she p sesses some astonishing powers. rc instance we are told that*she will take any piece of ore (some~ of the outcroppings will answer ‘the purpose) that is brought to her and without making any inquiries proceed to tell the character and pitch of the far down in the ground the pay chutes are and how to reach them by tunnel or shaft, and give a perfect description of the appearance of the country’s surface in the locality where the ore was found. She claims to perform equally remarkable things in the way of tinding gravel. mines. Mr. Winchester says that four mines in Nevada and Sierra counties are being prospected under her direction, besides several in other parts of the State. She also advertises to tell all about peeple. by their photographs, locks of their hair or bits of their clothing., In afew days Mrs. Winchester will come to this city to spend a week. Our citizens will then be afforded an opportudity to test her alleged powers. Towle Brothers’ Railroad. The narrow gauge railroad extending from Alta, on the Central Pacific Railroad, into the timber lands of Towle Brothers*in Little York and Washington townships, thie county, and used solely tor transporting lumber, is being extended thissummer in an _ easterly direction up the ridge between the Bear and South Yuba rivers. Next summer it willtake a turn and be ‘continued down the ridge to the ‘south of Washington and to within six miles by wagon road from that town. It is equipped with steam locomotives and flat cars, and is a good dealofa railroad for private enterprise to build. Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hy pophosphites.

BURNED TO DHATH. Fire at the Washington Miné—J. W. Spencer Loses His Life. The Tidings of Thursday evening says: This morning at an early hour the old hoisting works of the Waashington mine were discovered to be on fire.’ The building was nearly consumed when the neighbors saw the flames, and just as they got to the building the roof fell in, The Washington -mine is. a little over two miles east of Grass Valley, and has been idlefor some time, but a watchman, Joseph Warren Spencer, was employed to look after the property. He was in town yesterday and was very much _ intoxicated, According to the testimony of Samuel Wear, he (Wear) found Spencer near the old hoisting works in a helpless condition and teok him in the building, (which had been fitted up with a sleeping apartment), put him to bed and extinguished the candle. That was the last seen of Spencer, until his cMurred and blackened remains were found among the coals and debris of the burned building. Judge Paynter, acting coroner, was notified of the facts,and preceeded to the mine,where the body was, and held an inquest; ‘the verdict being in accordance with the facts stated above. © The remains could not be recognized of themselves, as they were badly burned, the arms and lower portion of the legs being missing; also the head. Whatof the remains thas were found were near the door. This fact shows that Spencer must have got up, lit his candle and attempted to go out, when he fell upon the floor and his clothing caught fire, and caused the destruction of himself and building. Deceased was a native of Bangor, Maine, and was aged about 60 years, He has lived here a long time, having been engaged asa wood-chepper on Banner Hill, but for some time past he has been employed at the Washington. Deceased had no relaatives in this part of the country,’ The remains are at the undertaking rooyns of Frank Huss, The Sargent Meeting. Preparations are being made to give Hon, A. A.

The Auburn Argus pays the distinguished gentleman this merited tribute : Heis an able and experienced politician, whe is thoroughly familiar with the history, policy and spirit of the various political parties. He ought to be cordially welcomed by the mass of people, regardless of party, because, among other things, he maintained with becoming dign1 ty and firmness that democratic simplicity of speech and of dealing which Americans so much affect, and of which they so cordially appreve, at least inthe abstract. And while Mr. Sargent’s conduct was such that it did not please Prince Bismarck, it did p'ease the vast majority of his own countrymen, = le a Magenta Mine. Union: The drain tunnel of the Magenta quartz mine, which has been in process of construction for several months, was opened through to a connection with the 200 level on Tuesday night. The distance run was 1100 feet, and from the mouth of the tunnel to the incline shaft of . the mine the distance is 1400 feet. By means of this tunnel the surface water, which has heretofore been troublesome in’ working the mine, can be handled cheaply and effectively. Died at Graniteville.

For inatance, it tells the following selid truths about one of the standard bearers on the side of the house with which the Tran: SCRIPT trains: } “The card of George Lord,the Republican nomiuee for Sheriff, will be found in the columns of-the Union, It is a pleasure to speak a good word in favor of a political opponent, and this can be done in reference to’ Mr. Lord without lessening the claims of the popular gentleman who is on the Democratic ticket for the same office. Mr. Lord is an old resident of the county, dating back for 26 years, during which time he has been engaged in aetive business life, in engineering, mining, farming, and at the present time is carrying on a large livery establishment in Grass . Valley, and it may be said that in each occupation he has been successful. He has energy, public spirit, and intelligense, a good friend and neighbor, and a citizen who is held in high respect. If the people of the county decide in his favor the office will be well and worthily filled, Mr. Lord is a native of England, and for 35 years a citizen of the United States, coming when quite young and making for some years his home in Schuylxill county, Pennsylvania, before emigrating for California,” CNEL ESA STIS THE mavia now raging amongst the upper ten of the country for marrying poor mates is not confined exclusively to the female sex,-as shown be the fact that a wealthy young Georgian shot himself fatally on the 20th inst., because a poor youngyirl whom he loved refused his offer of marriage.

There were present about twenty-five ladies and gentlemen, and among the assemblage were a number of accomplished musicians and readers who gave a series Of performances in their respective lines to the great delight of all who heard them.

The Grass Valley Unien says there is talk dewn there that, some of the defeated, candidates at the late county convention are about to bring out an independent ticket. That may be true as far as relates to the victims of the Democratic conYention, but-there are no soreheads "this year among the local Republicans. They are almost as proud of ~“the'ticket as though they themsélves were on it, and theyare going to work and vote for it like men and patriote.

If there.is one thing that the average country newspaper man regrects more thsn another, nine times out of ten it is the fact that he is not an expert in shorthand. Daily Opportunities are presented him where a xnowledge of the art, or science, Or profession, or whatever you please to call it,, would be of great value. It would enable the correct reporting of public meetings, speeches,’ dog fights, Democratic squabbles, and other matters of public interest with & precision that cannot be attained by the fastest longhand writer, It really does seem, gentle reader, that the beauty and value of a system that enables one to transmit to paper, as they are expressed, the words of others, is little appreciated. In the whole county of Nevada there is but one person who is fully qualified to: report correctly a platform speech or the proceedings (including testimony and argument) of a case in the courts, and that person is the present Court Reporter. The State Legislature fully recognizing the importance of the matter, has provided for the appointment of court reporters, and hag in these words, in section 270 of the Code of Civil Procedure, specitied the qualifications of such reporters: ‘*No person shall be appointed to the position of Official Reporter of any court in this State, except. upon satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and. without being first examined as to his competency by at least three members of the bar practicing in gaid court; such members to be designated by the Judge or Judges of said court. The committee of members of the bar’ so designated shall upon the request of the Judge or Judges of said Court, examine any person as to his qualifications whom said Judge or Judges may wish to appoint as Official Reporter, and no person shall be appointed to such position upon whose qualifications such committee shall not have reportegpfavorably. “The test of competency before such committee shall be as follows: The party examined must write in the presence of said committee at the rate of at least one hundred and fifty words per minute, for five consecutive minutes, upon matter not previously written by or known to him, immediately read the same back to the committee, and tranascribe the. same into long-hand writing plainly and with accuracy. If he pass such test satisfactorily, the committee shall furnish him with a written certificate.of that fact, signed by at. least a majority of the members of the committee, which certificates shall be filed among the records of the court.” The Legislature has carefully guarded this position against unworthy or incompetent persons,¢gnd while the standard is high, yet the responsibility is euch that an exalted degree of excellence is essential. Even the Judges themselves cannot (if they desire) appoint any person to fill the position of Court Reporter unless such person possesses the qualifications prescribed by the statute, More attention should be paid, especially by young people, to oultivating this business of phonography, for it is the source of much profit to all who acquire and properly apply it. ‘Time is money,” and the necessities of this fast age eall for a more general knowledge of and proficiency in a system of writing that will effect a saving of time to business and professional men, without jeopardizing accuracy. A Good Clean Up. # The Birdseye Creek Mining Company, which was this month enjoined in the anti-debris suit of Peter Hart vs. Liberty Hill Con. W. and M, Co., has beeen yielding well for sometime, The New York Mining Record of the 20th instant says :— “The Directors have received the following telegram from ¢. 8S, Goodwin, viz: ‘We have eleaned up, result being as fullows: Red Dog $14,500; Uncle Sam, $5,000 ; Neece & West, $8,000. Total $27,500. Remittance, $7,000.’” Twenty thousand and five hundred dollars of this money was expended for labor and supplies, and the stockholders received seven thousand dollars. Yet, the Valley hounds say such mines are_a curse to the State ! —_—-— 0 <P e * Shall We Elect Justices? ‘There is some*doubt as to whether Justices of the Peace can legally be elected at the coming election. The incumbente claim that under the Constitution they are State officers rand hold for four years. The Supervisors of San Joaquin county have refused to include the office of Jus-, tice of the-Peace in their call for an election and they will be at once sued in the Supreme Court on a petition for a writ of mandate directing them todo so. It is expected~that ‘a decision will be arrived at speedily. There are upwards of 600 Justices in the State and they have formed an association to defend their rights. Et Campaign Hats at Barrett's, tf An Element That Aspires to Run Other People’s Business. Partisan wvewspapers are often over zealous in their efforts to advance the interests of political -aspirants, and without’ any conception apparently of the service they strive to perform, frequently lend weakhess instead of strength to an issue. Some of the papers of this .county should be more circumspect.—TriWeekly Herald,. We know not at‘whose suggestion our contemporary published this Bansbyism, and care less; but Sthe drift of it is apparent after a careful microscopical examination. It is sop thrown out to win the plaudits of an Element in almost every community (it is pretty well represented in Nevada City, as we know to our inexpressible disgust,) that neglects its own business to tell other people how theirs should be conducted. This element is the bane of the Herald editor and every other newspaper man in the world. If he writes that business is dull, the Element stops him on the street before thepaper is dry frdm the press and exclaims, ‘‘My heavens, man, don’t you know that kind of an admission is calculated to depreciate property and discourage business men? You ought to correct the impression in your very next issue.” Ifthe Herald man printsa month later that Nevada City is prosperous place, the Element will jump on him as he ‘comes around the corner ‘and say with tears in its eyes, “Oh, how could you do it? You will bring working and businees men here from all parts of the State, glut’ the labor market and crowd out the stores with new ones.” The Element gets particularly offensive about election time, It loafs around fiom morning to night wearing its jaws out in telling how it would like to run a newspaper through a campaign just to show the world what it could accomplish by the exercise of alittle ‘‘conception of the service to be performed” mixed with a reasonable quantity of ‘‘circumspection”—a combination that the hearers are assured no newspaper man was ever known to possess, The TRANSCRIPT used to listen to the Element, trying to please it; but some years ago we found it was determined not to be pleased; so now when it comes aneaking up the stairs of this office and gives hints or orders as to how to run the paper it is told to go to the devil. The paper has not as much as inquired why the Element and its influence have quit this establishment never to return. In fact, it seems to feel as well as ever nothwithstanding the owners have taken full charge and are running it to suit themselves, 0m 0 A‘Chapter on Kicks. ‘All at Sea,” the musical comedy about which so inuch has been said of late, was onthe bills at Nevada Theatre last night, with KateCastleton and her company in the cast. To-night will be the second and last performance, when there will. be a complete change of songs, etc., and each lady present will be presented with a fine photographic souvenir of Kate Castleton, whose kick we told about in yesterday’s paper. Speaking of kicks, a baldheaded man doing business on Broad street dropped jin yesterday to tell the Transcarpr what he knows about ’em. Said he, ‘‘Write it down just asI tell you. Ready ?; Well, here goes, There is the kick brutal, which is bestowed by the lower order of mankind upon his fallen enemy; there is the kick paternal, that comes from the head of the family upon the form of his daughter’s unwelcome caller; there is the kick political, by which defeated po litical candidates show their humanity; there is the kick of caution, which your friend gives you upon theshins under the table wheu he wishes to warn that the conversation is taking a dangerous turn; there is the kick destructive, which comes from one of Jove’s thunderbolts, from a mule; there is the kick elevative, by which young ladies, in a twinkling, lift their skirts to their hand as they are about to cross a muddy street; then there is the can-can kick, the ballet kick, yes, and a million other kinds of: kicks there are, but above them all is the scientitic, dreamy, poetic, graceful kick suggestive: it is the kick supreme. There isno kick but the refined, suggestive kick, and Miss Kate Castleton is its prophet,” . Another Republican Club. Another political club is being organized at this city and will consist entirely of young Republicans. One hundred attractive uniforms and as many tube-torchee have been received, and the boys expect to have the banner company of the county. Siete er Le ee Don’t Trifle with the Teeth.

Several of the Nevada City Democrats called at the Transorrpr office yesterday to express their gratitude because this paper had shown them how to get a candidate for the Assembly in the Fourteenth District, viz: import him from some other District‘alle same would-be Congressman Sumner, __ “It was a’happy thought on your part,” said one of the Democrats, “and now that you have put us on the right track I don’t see why we can’t get some man from Grass Valley or San Juan to stand in as the Democratic candidate for Supervisor in Nevada township. Garver could have beaten the socks right off from Mulloy, although he wouldn’t have made much ofa ran for Sheriff or Treasurer—at least we told him so when we refused to give him a chance to run for either of the latter offices, which he wanted, and offered him the nomination for Supervisor, whith he wouldd’t have at any price under the circumstances. Since Garver has refused to stand we have been to several other men that we know are popular and calculated to make good Supervisors‘ if elected, but they just answer by asking us if we take them for tarnation fools, There are several men doing nothing thatare willing to take the chances on beingelected if we will put their name on and furnish them money from the County Ceatral Committee’s treasury to make a lively fight with, but we are not hunting this year after candidates that have no sack. If Grass Valley and San Juan fail us, we may have to get Sumner to send up one of his friends who has a carpet-bag instead of asack. If that won’t work, may the good Lord help us, for we can’t help ourselves as we will be in such a frightful fix.” Sa etind The Latest ‘‘Mine Finder.” A. 8, Winchester, Esq., for many years a member of the art preservative, was in town yesterday and called around to take a look at the TRANSORIPT’s well equipped newspaper and jeb printing office. Mr. Winchester’s home is at Oakland, but at present ‘he and his wife are stopping at Pike City. He says that Mrs. W. is what iscalled a psychometrist, or a reader of the soul, ‘and according to his statement she p sesses some astonishing powers. rc instance we are told that*she will take any piece of ore (some~ of the outcroppings will answer ‘the purpose) that is brought to her and without making any inquiries proceed to tell the character and pitch of the far down in the ground the pay chutes are and how to reach them by tunnel or shaft, and give a perfect description of the appearance of the country’s surface in the locality where the ore was found. She claims to perform equally remarkable things in the way of tinding gravel. mines. Mr. Winchester says that four mines in Nevada and Sierra counties are being prospected under her direction, besides several in other parts of the State. She also advertises to tell all about peeple. by their photographs, locks of their hair or bits of their clothing., In afew days Mrs. Winchester will come to this city to spend a week. Our citizens will then be afforded an opportudity to test her alleged powers. Towle Brothers’ Railroad.

BURNED TO DHATH. Fire at the Washington Miné—J. W. Spencer Loses His Life. The Tidings of Thursday evening says: This morning at an early hour the old hoisting works of the Waashington mine were discovered to be on fire.’ The building was nearly consumed when the neighbors saw the flames, and just as they got to the building the roof fell in, The Washington -mine is. a little over two miles east of Grass Valley, and has been idlefor some time, but a watchman, Joseph Warren Spencer, was employed to look after the property. He was in town yesterday and was very much _ intoxicated, According to the testimony of Samuel Wear, he (Wear) found Spencer near the old hoisting works in a helpless condition and teok him in the building, (which had been fitted up with a sleeping apartment), put him to bed and extinguished the candle. That was the last seen of Spencer, until his cMurred and blackened remains were found among the coals and debris of the burned building. Judge Paynter, acting coroner, was notified of the facts,and preceeded to the mine,where the body was, and held an inquest; ‘the verdict being in accordance with the facts stated above. © The remains could not be recognized of themselves, as they were badly burned, the arms and lower portion of the legs being missing; also the head. Whatof the remains thas were found were near the door. This fact shows that Spencer must have got up, lit his candle and attempted to go out, when he fell upon the floor and his clothing caught fire, and caused the destruction of himself and building. Deceased was a native of Bangor, Maine, and was aged about 60 years, He has lived here a long time, having been engaged asa wood-chepper on Banner Hill, but for some time past he has been employed at the Washington.

Mr. Lord is an old resident of the county, dating back for 26 years, during which time he has been engaged in aetive business life, in engineering, mining, farming, and at the present time is carrying on a large livery establishment in Grass .
