Another big bar of gold bullion was shipped to San Francisco this week from the Washington mine, which property is getting better and better with each @ay’s work done on it. Work is being prosecuted in all four levels. The twenty-stamp mill is pounding away?without interruption on ore that pays about six dollars a ton, and the sulphurets which are saved yield over $100 a ton. Owing to the size ofthe ledge, the complete equipment of machinery and the fact that itis run by water power, the total cost of mining and milling averages but $2.75 to each ton of ore produced; leaying a profit that ought to satisfy anybody. The upper level has been driven 1260 feet and has three pay shoots, the first extending 322 feet on an ore body 2 feet wide,the second 73 feet on aseven foot body, and where the third is being raised on 1000 : feet from the entrance to the level the ledge has widened out to 16 feet. On the.second level the shoot now being stoped from shows a length of 200 feet and a ‘thickness of 10 feet. The third level is being driven through pay ore to,a point 180 feet ahead to connect with a winze from the second level. In,the fourth level and close to the shaft the ore body is 8 feet thick. With the arrangements now under. way the Washington will be one of the best ventilated mines in the county, and as Under Sheriff Reynolds says, “‘Good ventilation isoné of the most important requisites of successful mining.” The Yuba River Orange felt. R. McDowall of Sicard Flat, on the Yuba river three miles below Smartsville, was in town Monday evening and had with him some sample oranges from his orchard of forty trees. Only a portion of the orchard has come into bearing, but that portion is very heavily laden. . One tree is estimated to have 1,500 oranges, and in size, fineness of texture and flavor they compare favorably with any seedlings raised inthe State. Mr. MeDowall contemplates offering his crop in this market as soon as it is fully ripe which will be in a short time. He has been raising oranges at Sicard Flat for several years and never missed getting a crop good both as to quality and quantity. Even two years ago, when the excessively cold snap played havoc in the balmiest citrus belts of Southern California, bis trees did not suffer material injury. Some of the oldest ones had theirtops nipped, but recovered entirely the next. season from the set-back, and though a few of the youngest and ténderest were cut off at the surface of the ground they ralledin the following summer and attained a growth ofover six feet. Mr. McDowall predicts from his own practical’ experience that the region from French Corral in this county downinto his part of Yuba county, and including Pet Hill, Niles and Smartsville, has a glorious future for orange growing. ~~ A Poor Maw’s Storm. The present long-continued and steady storm brings annoyance and losses to some; but taken as a whole it is a godsend to an army of poor-men residing in the mining regions. The abundance of freé water that it has made renders possible the working of hundreds of small gravel deposits in ravinés and gulches where for many years past the lack of water rendered washing out of the question. Says an observant and conservative prospector: ‘‘I willnot pretend to estimate the benefit that will be derived in other localities; but I believe it is perfectly safe to declare that in the section tributary to Nevada City not less than one hundred thousand dollars ‘will be cleaned up in sums ranging from fifty to a thousanddollars or more,, and all by poor men who will straightway put this money into circulation. It has been years since conditions! were so favorable to the working of these spots, and the most will be made of the opportunity.” oe Telegraph Lines Down. This city has for twodays been cut off from telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, owing to breaks in the Western Uuion line both ubove and below here, Between Kress Station and Buena Vista 400 feet of the wire isdown and at Idaho Gap a mile below Giass Valley a pote has fallen flat, A repairer arrived Monday, but up to Tuesday noon he had not got to work. -The Western Union lines in this part of the State are ricketty old concerns. HE FOOLS (E11. People who are Kasily Bevcivea. Be has Caught Eight so far. A city druggist stated that he hadhad eight calls for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapar but ha¢ sold his own every time. It did not occur to him that it might be a serious matter to give his old time mercury and potesh preparation to people who do not netd syphilitic tcatmeut, Itis safe to say that not one person in ten have a syphilitic trouble. Henes w).at do they want with such dangereussniicrals as mercury sud potash?’ What nine-tenths of our people ate troubled with is indiges tion, dyspepsia, sick headaches, constipation and face eruptions, allof which are the leith XMAS SUPERSTITIONS. Curious Beliefs ana Practic:s Among Different Nations. Christmas is of great im portance in poplar lore as a weather-day, on which prognostications may be safely made as to the weather during the year following. Two curious poems ofunknown date, found among the Herleian MSS. in the British Museum, recapitulate at some length these notions, probably current in the seventeenth century. These are too long for insertion here, but an abstract of them will be sufficient to show the nature of these predictions, extending to matters other than meteorological. The first of these poems predicts: If the day that Christ was born Fall upon.a Sunday, there will follow a good winter, but & windy one, andthe summer will be dry and fair. Peace through all lands will reign, and thieves be readily taken, Christmas on Monday also indicates a good winter and a very windy one, and a stormy temptestous summer. Many battles will occur, and great mortality amoung the cattle, but little among men. Tuesday is-an unlucky day for Christmas: If Christmas day on Tuesday be, That yea: shall many women die, And that wiuter grow great marvels; Ships shall be in great perils; That year shall Kings and lords be slain, “And many other people near them; Adry summer that year shall be As that all that are born therein may see; 2 They shall be strong and covetous. If thousteal Aught, thou losest thy life, Forthou shalt die through sword or knife, : Butif thou fall sick, ’tis certain Thou shall turn to life again. Christmas falling on Wednesday brings a stormy and hard winter, but a good summer, with wheat in plenty. It will be a disastrous year for young people, and_ particularly {ital to ships. Thursday is, & the whole, a propitious day. A windy, tempestuous winter will / e followed by a good, dry summer, in which crops and cattle willthrive. ‘‘Kings and princes,’’ it is said, ‘‘shell die by skill.”” Thieves will be punished, and the _ sick speedily recover. Friday loses here its unlucky character. The first of the winter will be severe, but it will end well, and be followed by. a good summer, and crops, cattleand children will thrive, and the sick prosper. If Christmas falls on Saturday a dreadful and severe winter will follow, disastrous to man and beast, fatal to old people, te women in childbirth and their offspring. The summer will be wet, crops fail, and sickness will result fatally. A very curious belief concerning cattle is found in parts of England and on the Continent. It is said that if you watch the stalls you will see the entire drove kneel or rise on their knees at midnight of Christmas. eve, and bow in ‘commemoration of the eventful scene in the manger _ at Béthelehem. In Holland the inmates of the stables are suid to rise at the hour, remain standing for a while, and then lie down again. Much importance is placed upon the first foot in parts of England) This belief, that the luck of the day, week or year will depend upon the appearance ofthe first person you may meet, is usually confined to New Year’s, but Christmas first-comers. are ominous. In Norfolk it is unlucky to be first wished a merry Christmas by a fair-haired man, while in Lancashire the first female entering the bouse on that day brings ul luck with her. Young. maidens place greater confidence in the result of breaking the wish-bone of the Christmas fowl than that of any other bird. Some cere. months of divination are only proper on Christmas, In France 12 grains of corn are named, each for a month of the year, and then put on a shovel, which is heated over the fire. Corn will be dear in those months represented by the grains that quickly pop off the shovel, cheap in the other months of the year. Some German maidens pretend to divine the calling of their future husbands: by listening to the water in the tea kettle on Christmas night. If it makes a rumbling noise he will be a blacksmith, and so on. The popular mind could not fail to fixupon this day some predictions concerning births, The poems quoted above give for each day on which Christmas occurs nativities for those born on that day. Commencing with Sunday, we are told: What child that day born may be A great lord as he shall live to be. With Christmas on Monday: They that be born that day I mean, They shall be strong each one and keen. On ‘luesday it is said: They shall be strong and covetous. Wednesday is a lucky day: Whatever child that day born is, He s be doughty and gay, I wis, And and crafty also of deed, And find many in clothes and bread, Not leas fortunate is the child who is born on Christmas when it falls upon Thursday : If a child that day born shall be, It shall happen right well for thee; Of deeds he shall be good and stable. Wise of speech and reasonable. The influence of Venus or Freya ia sven to extend tothe infant whofirst seesthelight on Friday’s Christmas: The child that is born that day Shall live long and lecherous be alway. Saturday, again, is malignant: And children born that day by faith Tn half a year shall meet with death. At present it is suid in Lincolnshire, CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Another big bar of gold bullion was shipped to San Francisco this week from the Washington mine, which property is getting better and better with each @ay’s work done on it. Work is being prosecuted in all four levels. The twenty-stamp mill is pounding away?without interruption on ore that pays about six dollars a ton, and the sulphurets which are saved yield over $100 a ton. Owing to the size ofthe ledge, the complete equipment of machinery and the fact that itis run by water power, the total cost of mining and milling averages but $2.75 to each ton of ore produced; leaying a profit that ought to satisfy anybody. The upper level has been driven 1260 feet and has three pay shoots, the first extending 322 feet on an ore body 2 feet wide,the second 73 feet on aseven foot body, and where the third is being raised on 1000 : feet from the entrance to the level the ledge has widened out to 16 feet. On the.second level the shoot now being stoped from shows a length of 200 feet and a ‘thickness of 10 feet. The third level is being driven through pay ore to,a point 180 feet ahead to connect with a winze from the second level. In,the fourth level and close to the shaft the ore body is 8 feet thick. With the arrangements now under. way the Washington will be one of the best ventilated mines in the county, and as Under Sheriff Reynolds says, “‘Good ventilation isoné of the most important requisites of successful mining.” The Yuba River Orange felt. R. McDowall of Sicard Flat, on the Yuba river three miles below Smartsville, was in town Monday evening and had with him some sample oranges from his orchard of forty trees. Only a portion of the orchard has come into bearing, but that portion is very heavily laden. . One tree is estimated to have 1,500 oranges, and in size, fineness of texture and flavor they compare favorably with any seedlings raised inthe State. Mr. MeDowall contemplates offering his crop in this market as soon as it is fully ripe which will be in a short time. He has been raising oranges at Sicard Flat for several years and never missed getting a crop good both as to quality and quantity. Even two years ago, when the excessively cold snap played havoc in the balmiest citrus belts of Southern California, bis trees did not suffer material injury. Some of the oldest ones had theirtops nipped, but recovered entirely the next. season from the set-back, and though a few of the youngest and ténderest were cut off at the surface of the ground they ralledin the following summer and attained a growth ofover six feet. Mr. McDowall predicts from his own practical’ experience that the region from French Corral in this county downinto his part of Yuba county, and including Pet Hill, Niles and Smartsville, has a glorious future for orange growing. ~~ A Poor Maw’s Storm. The present long-continued and steady storm brings annoyance and losses to some; but taken as a whole it is a godsend to an army of poor-men residing in the mining regions. The abundance of freé water that it has made renders possible the working of hundreds of small gravel deposits in ravinés and gulches where for many years past the lack of water rendered washing out of the question. Says an observant and conservative prospector: ‘‘I willnot pretend to estimate the benefit that will be derived in other localities; but I believe it is perfectly safe to declare that in the section tributary to Nevada City not less than one hundred thousand dollars ‘will be cleaned up in sums ranging from fifty to a thousanddollars or more,, and all by poor men who will straightway put this money into circulation. It has been years since conditions! were so favorable to the working of these spots, and the most will be made of the opportunity.” oe Telegraph Lines Down. This city has for twodays been cut off from telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, owing to breaks in the Western Uuion line both ubove and below here, Between Kress Station and Buena Vista 400 feet of the wire isdown and at Idaho Gap a mile below Giass Valley a pote has fallen flat, A repairer arrived Monday, but up to Tuesday noon he had not got to work. -The Western Union lines in this part of the State are ricketty old concerns.

Curious Beliefs ana Practic:s Among Different Nations. Christmas is of great im portance in poplar lore as a weather-day, on which prognostications may be safely made as to the weather during the year following. Two curious poems ofunknown date, found among the Herleian MSS. in the British Museum, recapitulate at some length these notions, probably current in the seventeenth century. These are too long for insertion here, but an abstract of them will be sufficient to show the nature of these predictions, extending to matters other than meteorological. The first of these poems predicts: If the day that Christ was born Fall upon.a Sunday, there will follow a good winter, but & windy one, andthe summer will be dry and fair. Peace through all lands will reign, and thieves be readily taken, Christmas on Monday also indicates a good winter and a very windy one, and a stormy temptestous summer. Many battles will occur, and great mortality amoung the cattle, but little among men. Tuesday is-an unlucky day for Christmas: If Christmas day on Tuesday be, That yea: shall many women die, And that wiuter grow great marvels; Ships shall be in great perils; That year shall Kings and lords be slain, “And many other people near them; Adry summer that year shall be As that all that are born therein may see; 2 They shall be strong and covetous. If thousteal Aught, thou losest thy life, Forthou shalt die through sword or knife, : Butif thou fall sick, ’tis certain Thou shall turn to life again. Christmas falling on Wednesday brings a stormy and hard winter, but a good summer, with wheat in plenty. It will be a disastrous year for young people, and_ particularly {ital to ships. Thursday is, & the whole, a propitious day. A windy, tempestuous winter will / e followed by a good, dry summer, in which crops and cattle willthrive. ‘‘Kings and princes,’’ it is said, ‘‘shell die by skill.”” Thieves will be punished, and the _ sick speedily recover. Friday loses here its unlucky character. The first of the winter will be severe, but it will end well, and be followed by. a good summer, and crops, cattleand children will thrive, and the sick prosper. If Christmas falls on Saturday a dreadful and severe winter will follow, disastrous to man and beast, fatal to old people, te women in childbirth and their offspring. The summer will be wet, crops fail, and sickness will result fatally. A very curious belief concerning cattle is found in parts of England and on the Continent. It is said that if you watch the stalls you will see the entire drove kneel or rise on their knees at midnight of Christmas. eve, and bow in ‘commemoration of the eventful scene in the manger _ at Béthelehem. In Holland the inmates of the stables are suid to rise at the hour, remain standing for a while, and then lie down again. Much importance is placed upon the first foot in parts of England) This belief, that the luck of the day, week or year will depend upon the appearance ofthe first person you may meet, is usually confined to New Year’s, but Christmas first-comers. are ominous. In Norfolk it is unlucky to be first wished a merry Christmas by a fair-haired man, while in Lancashire the first female entering the bouse on that day brings ul luck with her. Young. maidens place greater confidence in the result of breaking the wish-bone of the Christmas fowl than that of any other bird. Some cere. months of divination are only proper on Christmas, In France 12 grains of corn are named, each for a month of the year, and then put on a shovel, which is heated over the fire. Corn will be dear in those months represented by the grains that quickly pop off the shovel, cheap in the other months of the year. Some German maidens pretend to divine the calling of their future husbands: by listening to the water in the tea kettle on Christmas night. If it makes a rumbling noise he will be a blacksmith, and so on. The popular mind could not fail to fixupon this day some predictions concerning births, The poems quoted above give for each day on which Christmas occurs nativities for those born on that day. Commencing with Sunday, we are told: What child that day born may be A great lord as he shall live to be. With Christmas on Monday: They that be born that day I mean, They shall be strong each one and keen. On ‘luesday it is said: They shall be strong and covetous. Wednesday is a lucky day: Whatever child that day born is, He s be doughty and gay, I wis, And and crafty also of deed, And find many in clothes and bread, Not leas fortunate is the child who is born on Christmas when it falls upon Thursday : If a child that day born shall be, It shall happen right well for thee; Of deeds he shall be good and stable. Wise of speech and reasonable. The influence of Venus or Freya ia sven to extend tothe infant whofirst seesthelight on Friday’s Christmas: The child that is born that day Shall live long and lecherous be alway. Saturday, again, is malignant: And children born that day by faith Tn half a year shall meet with death. At present it is suid in Lincolnshire, CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
