SASTam ue s ; TRIVIA 5 ewea od? gpoomd Aevada Democrat. Sirk Maxuracrure IN THE Unirep States. —The Ecohomist says: “It is estimated that there are now thirty-six mills in operation in different parts of the United States, in which from 8,000 to 10,000 hands are constantly employed. About three fourths of the operators are children under sixteen years of who are engaged at comparatively titing wages. entire value and machinery of the mills connected with the eilk trade is estimated at $3,000,000, The average cost of manufacture on silk goods is about one-half of the raw material, Taking, therefore, the value of the import of raw silk, in 1859, at One million, we sball have about two million dollars as the present value of the annual production of silk goods in the United States.” Lower CaLirornia.—A correspondent of the Alta, writing from San Diego, Nov. 20, says: The news from Lower California is very meagre. From all that I have been able to learn, there has been some seventeen killed on both sides in the late disturbances there. I have not been able to, as yet, get a cor-. rect list of them. Gov. Esparza has organized all of his forces, and is now following up Mendoza, who is encamped, it is said, near the boundary line. that were with Mendoza—some 450—have left him and gone into the mountains, taking with them stock of all kinds, and everything else that they could etes! from the ranches. OvrraGes 1x Los Ance.es County,—The Los Angeles Star of Noy, 24th, says: For some time past we have had to detail almost weekly, the outrages committed by a band of desperadoes on our people in the Southern portion of this county, aud more particularly inSan Diego county. These outrages are still continued, and tosuch an extent that, as we have been informed by a gentleman from San Diego county, it is abxolutely necessary, when a ranchero leaves his house to take with him a guard, armed to the teeth, Moreover, to protect the stock from the depredations of these outlaws, the bands are kept moving, never camping two nights in the same place. No Bee Swarms IN Missourt —Throughont Missouri the total failure of the bees to swarm duriog the summer just past attracts considerable attention, and excites much speculation. Io some localities, farmers who have a hundred stands, and who watch closely the movements of the bees, report that, although the little insects have worked all through the sammer with their accustomed industry, and have multiplied largely, not a single swarm has been observed. New Hat in Srockron.—It is proposed to erect a large building in Stockton, for . the purposes of a eity market and public hall, The ground flooris designed to be 200 by 80 feet, and will be occupied as stores and market stalle. The second story will contain a public hall, 75 by 100 feet, exclusive of a ladies’ parlor, dining room, dressing rooms, ete. nished by Mr. H. R. Leonard, Architect, of Sacramento, The estimated outlay, says the Argus, is $28,000. Maxine Lanp.—The city of Boston, Mass. is enyaged in filling up eotme two hundred acres of swamp flats immediately west of the Common. The material for filling is brought seven miles on rail tracks, employing ten locomotives, one hundred cars, and an army of workmen, It is estimated thut four years will be required to complete the work. and that the land thus made will be . worth ten million dollars.

That pleasant and highly interesting correspondent of the Bulletin, who has for a year or more been sketching Europe, from Paris to Piedmont, writes, under date of September Ist, the following brief story of the “Early History” of Turin, the beautifal capital of Piedmont : About B.C. 500 a colony of Ligurians laid the foundation of'urin, and it w8 not long before the town teeame one of considerable size and importance. This tribe or colony was called Turini, and hence the name of the city. The misfortunes that fell upon Turia, commenced with Hanniba! when he descended from his celebrated pas. sage of the Alps, He found the place populous aud powerful, and endeavored to gain it as an ally, railing in which, and fearin its hostility, te fell upon it with fire an sword, and entirely destroyed it. It soon however, arose from its ruins. and became a Roman colony, and received within its walls an army of reserve which Julius Owsar left there when he marched against the Gaule. After this, Constantine destroyed the city because it espoused the cause of Maxentius Again it arose from itsruins, and was again sacked and ruined Stilichio, From this calamity it recovered, and was then sacked and destroyed by Atilla, After this, pho:nix-like, it sprung up again, and was again sacked by Odoacer, In fact, all the barba rian hordes who successively established themselves in Italy, left fatal traces of their power and ferocity at Turin, To all these events and disasters it proved superior—soon recovering its former wealth and position, For some time after the destruction . occasioned by Odoacer, it enjoyed compar. ative peace under a Ducal qvrmenett of its yee nrpotion, on the invasion of the i fell into their hands, and it semanas it their rule to have rapidly increased in power and wealth—so much'so, that it was raised to the rank of a capital of one of the Duchics of that Kingdom. This prosperity contivued, with but slight interruptions, antil Charlemange crossed the Alps, destroyed the Lombard Kiogdom, and placed the Marquis de Suse in power at Yurin, and conferred upon him princely authority. This power was enjoyed and exercised by the house of Suse until 1045, when Alderic Monfredi IIT, the last male representative of the house, marvied hig only daughter and child, Adelaide, to Otien, Count de Maurienne, of Savoy, and gave her his domivions for her dower. This was the origin of the present royal family of Sardinia, After the sovereignty had passed into the house of Savoy, Turin continued to suffer more or less from war, mostly with or on account of France—sometimes as an ally and sometimes as an enemy, In 1536. Francis I, of France, conquered Piedmont, and becoming enraged at the prolonged resistance of Turin, wholly destroyed four of its richest saburbs, and greatly injured the city itself. From this calamity it had not recovered when it was compelled to stand a The plan was far. siege (in 1649) during the contest between the French and Spaniards, and against the former, to whom it was fiually forced to capitulate. After this, in 1706, hea again compelled to stand another siege, and again against the French. This time, however, the French army was defeated, after havin 4 kept up the siege for three months, Quick Worx.—We find the following notice of Davidson’s life-boat and the quick work with which a man’s life was saved by one, in a late New York paper: «der Craven’s official repeat Ninn nop the practice ship Plymouth, was received at the Navy Department, Oct. 15. The only point of special interest is the notice of Davidson’s boat-towering and detaching apparatus. The report says: The cry of “Man . overboard’’ was given when the ship was going at the rate of eight knots; the life buoy was let go, a boat was lowered, the . ship brought to, the body pikes up, the n and hoist up in her place, the ship filled uuigy Gat Peter McGovern was working in bie claim . “8 *#0ding on under all sail in seven minunder a high bank, the bank caved upon him, causing instant death, his body being found, after very diligent search, buried up in six feet ofearth. He bas left behinda wife with three young children. Pactrte Rawroap.—The Bulletin’s New York correspondent says that a meeting of those favorable to the construction of a Pacifie Railroad was called at the Cooper Institute, for the 15th Nov. The movement originated in New England and is backed by many Boston capitalists. Lanp Savks 1s Cativornia.—The President has ordered sales of public lands to take place at the Land Office in Marysville, June 34; at Humboldt, June 10th; at StockTue wife of B. F. Washington, Collector of the port of San Fraagisco, died in that city, on Monday last. utes and twenty seconds from the tim 3 first alarm was given. The report _ . shows that the life-boat was loosed from her grippiugs lowered and detached in twenty-five seconds, without arresting the . headway of the vessel. The boat was rawn up and gecured again in one minute,’ ae acl ch villain it . EsMeraLpa Sitver Ore.—The editor of the Visalia Delta has bean shown specimens of silver ore from the Eameralda district, and assures us that he has good i for saying that the aseay of the Por aiid claims (which he publishes in fall) showa a yield of from $1,700 to $6,000 per tun. This is the assay of specimens, As specimens are generally above the common run, it is possible that the general run of ore may yield & trifle less than the figares above quoted. Still our faith in the richness of the er-_ i oa is abiding. Doubting Thomas on veus@ chanc himself of that fact. iat a
