i Aevada Democrat. ee LCs MATTERS, RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS.—The citizens and property holders of Grass Valley, as we are informed by a gentleman who visited that place yesterday, subscribed and paid over, on Saturday last, the sum of $2,300, and a check for that amount was forwarded to the Howard Society, for the relief of the sufferers at Sacramento. This speaks well for the liberality of the citizens of our neighboring town—they did not wait to get up a “benefit concert” for the purpose of drawing a dollar from the pockets of those who can illy afford to spare it at this time—but those who could afford it came down with their hundreds, fifties and twenties, and in that manner raised a respectable sum without calling upon those who find it a difficult matter to provide the necessaries of life for their own families. Nevada is getting up a «eoncert,” and those who have the matter in hand will doubtless do all in their power, and many will do more than they ought to do, to swell the receipts to a respectable sum. But the largest amount that we can expect to realize will not exceed one-fourth the sum already sent by our neighboring town; and if we would not be made the laughing stock of every little village in the State, other efforts must be made. Nevada gave more than all other towns in the State towards carrying on the Pah-ute war, and whenever a proper effort was made the most of her wealthier citizens have never failed te subscribe liberally for charitable purposes, We cannot hope to raise more than $500 by the concert, and if nothing else is to be done, it will be better to give that to one or two poor families whose farms have been destroyed in the valleys, and say nothing about it. Gas AccIDENT.—Night before last, one of the gas pipes was broken, near the corner of Pine and Commercial streets, caused by the choking up of the flume and the caving of timbers. Considerable quantities of the gas found its way into the buildings on the south-east corner of Commercial and Pine streets through the holes in the floors, and came near proving fatal to a number of persons who were sleeping in the lower stories. Mr. W. C. Randolph, who slept in a room back of Young’s jewelry store, was awakened by the gas fumes early in the morning, and had barely strength enough to make his way to the door and open it, and soon after getting out fell senseless on the sidewalk. He soon revived from the effects of the gas, but was pretty badly hurt on his head by the fall. He was out on the street, however, in the afternoon. Mr. Jacob Furth, who slept in Block & Co’s. store, opened the back door, and had no sooner got out than he became insensible and fell. But the rain, which was falling in torrents at the time, soon revived him. It seems that the gas company were anticipating some accident of the kind and had a man upon the watch, and as soon as the pipe was broken the gas was shut off. Had the full head of gas remained on the consequences would have been more serious, CoMMUNICATION BELOW.—Nevada is pretty near isolated—communieation with the towns below being entirely cut off. The Marysville stage arrived in town on Saturday evening, with the Sacramento papers of Thursday and Marysville papers of Friday. This is the latest arrival from below, and it is hardly probable staging will be resumed as long as the present weather continues. An effort, however, is being made toopen communication. Mr. Spencer, news dealer at Grass Valley, started for Marysville early this morning, for his papers, and a telegram from Timbuctoo says he passed that place ateleven o’clock. Mr. L. Blenis, the news agent at this place, started down about nine o'clock this morning, in order to get his papers, and ascertain the condition of the roads. If practicable, it is probable Mr. Lancaster or Mr. Blenis will start a Pony Express to Marysville, and run it until the stages can make the trip in a day, Tue Fivme under the houses on the south side of Commercial street, designed to carry off the water running in Kelsey’s Ravine, is wholly inadequate to the purpose. In spite of all that can be done pieces of bard and sticks will get in it and choke it up at high water, thus fleoding the cellars and lower rooms along Commercial and Main streets. From the manner in Which the buildings are constructed, we are informed, the flume cannot be made safe in its: Present location, and it has been suggested that 4 Rew one might be built under the planking of Commercial and Main strects. If allowed to temain where it is, more property will be destroyed every winter than it would cost to build 4 new flume. Tue Streams.—The steady rains the past week have kept the streams in this neighborhood up to about the high water mark of former years. During the fore part of last week considerable quantities of snow fell in the mountains, and must have been melting off gradually for the past three days, otherwise the Steams would have been nearly as high as at the time of the former floods. ReMovat.—Mr. John Herzinger, manufac‘wer and dealer in boots and shoes, has removed his establishment to a room adjoining Samuel's “§ ar store, on Pine street. ’ . Tue Roaps in every part of Nevada county are in a horrible condition, and in many places . impassable even for horses. Lew. Morrill has . drawn off his stage line to Omega, for the pre. sent, but went up this merning with a saddle . train’ The roadis cut up so that it is impossible to get a vehicle of any kind into Omega. Hank . Place is still running a stage to Washington, . but it takes nearly a full day to make the trip. . Frank Cleveland is still running his stage three times a day between Nevada and Grass Valley; but the Moore’s Flat stages have been drawn . off, and the mail is now sent up on horseback . The destruction of bridges, and washing out of . the roads, has cut off all communication between Moore’s, Wolsey’s and Orleans Flats, except on foot. The damage to the county roads . alone, to say nothing of the toll roads and brid. ges, will amount to many thousands of dollars, and some years will be required to place them in as good condition as they were last Fall. Provisions at San Jvuan.—We are informed that flour is selling at North San Juan at from ten to fifteen dollars a hundred, and little to be had at that, while the traders are entirely out of coffee, sugar, and other groceries. Mr. Tim. Smith, a livery stable keeper at San Juan, is now engaged in packing provisions over from Nevada. He started over this mor. ning with twenty pack animals, loaded princi. pally with flour. The only passable route to San Juan is by Cooper’s lower crossing, which is about twice the distance formerly traveled. City FInances.—From the report of the City Marshal, submitted to the Trustees, we make up the following statement of the net . receipts from May Ist, 1861,to Jan. 1st 1862: Collected and paid over on bridge tax $3,995 Collected on Licenses..cesseceesees 710 Poll TAX ccccvccsccccesccccccesocerses 86 Road tax—cash.ccoscccvccsseeerde ” " Labor. .cccces oceceeccd44— 836 $5,627 Special Notices. .
