ALLEN, the veteran editor, so favorably -knewn to the press and Californians generally, is at present on a visit to our town, and honored this office with a call. Rev. Mr. McCollom, who is the resident Baptist Clergyman at Nevada, preached a sermon in this place on Wednesday evening last, and in accordance with the request of his pleased audience, will preach here again one week from next Wednesday evening. Due notice will be given. The First Rain of the season fell on Tuesday morning last, before daybreak. There was just enough to lay the dust and startle the owners of leaking houses. The,Old Oak Tree which stood in front of the meat market on Main stréet, stands there no longer. Mr. GuTuriz clung to it lovingly for a good while, although it grew inconveniently in the centre of the sidewalk by his door. He could see something beautiful in it, and proudly named his establishment after it; but its spreading branches were in the way of his two-story brick, and its stout trunk too great an obstruction to street travel, so he reluctantly consented to its removal. It was the last remnant of the original forest left standing in the street, and now that it is gone the portion of the town where it stood seems vacant and lonesome, and the naked front of the new brick building stares very impudently at the desolate air. Quartz About San Juan. Several gentlemen of this place have lately taken up and recorded a ledge of quartz which issituated very near town, and which it is confidently believed will pay to work Some favorable prospects have already been obtained by crushing small portiens of the rock in a mortar, and it is the intention of the parties concerned to fully test it forthwith. If paying quartz can be found in this vicinity it will add largely to the prosperity and permanence of the community, by opening a wider field for the investment of capital and the employment of labor. There is certainly enough quartz to be found; the only question is—will it pay? It is worth while to know. Inhuman Cruelty. Some wretch in human form was seen beatfog a horse with great violence over the head and nose, on Tuesday evening last, not far this side ef Cherokee. He was driving a span of horses attached to a wagon, and what the poor brute he was murdering had done to offend him we have not learned; but he could have done nothing to warrant such cruel punishment. The man (?) beat him across the head--the most sensitive part of a horse—with what appeared to be the heavy iron end of a trace for at least fifteen minutes, the helpless and bewildered animal struggling ineffectually to avoid the storm of blows. When this occurrence took place the pine Woods were dark with the coming night, the -planet Venus shone like a emaller moon in the West, the Comet flished its streaming hair to the left of ruddy Mars, and all nature was calm and lovely. But that miserable wretch, insensible to all this, and to the thousand starry eyes that saw his infamy, let loose the hell of his passions on the dumb, helpless brute which had served him long and faithfully. Such a man as that would not respect woman’s innocence nor be touched by the tears of orphans. We should dread to be in his power, and would avoid his acquaintance as if he were the murderer of babes. There is too much of this wanton and useless cruelty to animals. Very frequently men may be geen along the roads beating their dumb servants just as described above, or even worse—we knew a man once to gouge out a mule’s eye! Persons who have s0 little feeling as to be guilty of such acts cannot be deterred from them by appeals to their humanity; but it may check them to know that there is a. special statute prohibiting cruelty to animals, and which provides as follows : “Ee person who shall maliciously kill,maim or aan . any horse, ox, or other domestic anigal belonging to another, or shall maliciously or CRUELLY BEAT OR TORTURE any such animal, ER BELONGING TO HIMSELF OR ANOTHER, ] conviction, be punished by a FINE of not more than FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, OR BY ’ NT IN THE COUNTY JAIL not exceeding six months, OR BY BOTH SUCH FINE AND IMPRISONMENT. éAlleeeesem, John?” A Chinaman applied at the stage office in his place for passage to Nevada, saying that he had no money with him, but had plenty in Nevada and would pay there—“‘all-ee sem.” The agent refused to allow him a passage on theso wncertain terms, but John stowed himself in the stage, expecting to be allowed to proceed. The was about to drag him forth, when John’s aad euddeniy dived into a sea of nankeen and game up with a doable eagle, out of which he naid bis fare. The crowd of on-lookers laughed heartily at John’s cool mer.dacity and his defeat, @nd be joined them, bearing on bis face a cunning look as if he deemed that he had exhibited commendable shrewcn>ss. Associate Judges. reg Coiuins, of Cherokee, and Harr: of Moore’s Flat, were on Monday last elected, by the Justices’ Convention which assemthled at Nevada, to the dignity of sitting as sidejudges in the Court of Sessions. They will no doubt have the high honor of giving their opingone as to the hardness of the bench. Sh Rika eR se Garden. One of the best gardens in this vicinity is owned and cultivated by Chinese. It is situated “om the little brook which crosses the road to Freeman’s, and yields all sorts of Celestial vegeles not raised by Americans. The poset ion ofedit for their industry and neatness. Cabin Robbed. Some time daring last Saturday the cabin of CuagLes GODFREY, ‘00 Willow Creek, was broken open, and robbed of $25 or $30.

Koozer, whose paper, the San Andreas Independent, is second to no interior journal in California, has withdrawn from the editorship of that sheet, and is succeeded by a former contributor, Mr. Seabough, who wrote that poetical brevity—‘‘Music of the Night.” f= Mr. Geo. W. Welch, of the Alta Express, Nevada, kindly forwarded to this office yesterday, a package of San Francisco dailies. Among them is that neat little sheet, the Evening Telegram, which has for its figure head a vignette representing America and England, in the form of an Indian and white maiden, sitting upon thecable beneath the Atlantic, and whispering to one another, County Items. . From the Democrat of the 6th, we glean the following items. Roppery AND Murper.—Last Sunday evening four white men went to a Chinese eamp on Bear river, about two miles above Little York, for the purpose of robbing them. There were four Chinamen in the camp, who resisted, when the robbers fired on them, killing one of the Chinamen instantly, and wounding the other three. The robbers then took what money they could find and left. County Business.—The County Supervisors elect, Messrs. Grier, Davis and Everett, met at the Court House on Monday, and were sworn into office—Mr. Grier being President of the Board. They were engaged Monday and yesterday in looking over the affairs of the county. Yesterday evening the Board adjourned to meet on the first Monday in November. Kiitep.—A melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Moore’s Vlut on the 25th ult., resulting in the death of Mr. Charles Doe, formerly of Rutland county, Vt. The deceased was at work in some-mining claims, where a shaft had been sunk to a depth of a hundred and fifiy feet. While standing on a board which had been laid across the shaft, it broke and he was precipitated to the bottom. An iron bar, which fell into the shaft at the same time, was run through his body, entering the abdomen and coming out at the back. He was brought to the surfrce as soon as possible, and survived about two hours,when he expired. ? Quartz Macuinery.—-Mr. A. J. Doolittle, of Grizzly Hil, in this county, has recently received a patent from Washington, for an improvement in quartz mill machinery. The invention consists in employing flat springs to which the stampers are connected, for the double purpose of guiding the stampers and increasing the force of the blow. It further consists in so arranging the battery that the finer pieces of quartz can pass out so that the large pieces are always exposed to the full force of the blow. From an examination of the drawings, we should judge that the improvement might be used to advantage in quartz mills. Brautat Assautt.—An elderly lady named Davis was brutally knocked down in the Brooklyn House, on Broad street, by one Tim Murray. Mrs. Davis received several severe but not dangerous wounds upon the head from the club used by ber drunken assailant. Justice Smith bound the fellow over to the next Grand Jury in $1,000 bonds. Socian Batu.—The ladies of Saow Drop Social Temple, Moorg’s Flat, were to give a ball at that place on the evening of the 8th. The Wevada National of the 2d, gives an unusual quantity of local items of interest, a portion of which we re-print: The eastern end of Main street of Grass . * Valley, isa scene of considerable activity in the way of mining. Many shafts have been sunk to the bed-rock, dritts run, and piles of dirt taken out to await the coming of water for washing. In one place the street has been let down alittle by the caving of a We understand that most of the dirt taken out prospects well. Oue or two companies have panned out as much as two bits to the pan. Quartz mining about our town is decidedly Activity is every where to be Messrs. White & Co., on Wednesday last, cleaned up $10,000, the result of crushing 100 tons of quartz. The ledge is about three feet thick, and they were just three weeks taking out the $10,000. New anp Ricu Minine Fierps.—-Within the last few months it has been discovered that the red dirt on the hills hereabout contains large quantities of gold. The dirt is carted to the mills and there crushed and washed. Whether sluicing it off would pay, has not yet been tried, on account of the scarcity of water. voc with the theorjes of many. got there, is not a question with those engaged in hauling red dirt; and had they paused to deliberate the matter, probably never would have found the gold. is that though seemingly poor, and without the ‘concomitant circumstances’ which show gold-bearing earth, the red dirt does pay.— Messrs. Larimer & Co. are crushing red surface dirt from New York Hill, which is paying them from $6 to $8 per load. From This discovery plays haHow gold Certain it Ophir, Sebastopol, Gold, Osborne, Echo, and many other surrounding hills, parties are There is no doubt but that dirt from all the hills, whose surfaces contain decomposed quartz, may be obtained which will prove highly remunerative. The expense of this kind of mining is se small that capital is not required to embark in it. We have heard of several companies forming to try other hills than those mentioned. CEeLEBRATION.—Monday evening last the inbabitants of Grass Valley celebrated the laying of the Atlantic Cable, without any concert of action, or any previous arrangement. The canon—‘Old D2mocracy’—was called into service, and awakened the echoes far and wide. The celebration was entirely impromptu, and the gladness which everywhere was exhibited, showed that the popular heart was in it. We have to thank Mr. T. Worthington for a present of figs. They were raised about a mile above this place, thus showing that winter here, is not sufficient to kill the trees.— Mr. Worthington’s example should be followed by all—plant some fig trees. Grares.—We were shown a second crop of grapes, growing in Dr. Tompkin’s garden. The clusters are nearly as large and full as those of the first crop, and bid fair to ripen fally before cool weather. The value of the buildings now going up in Grass Valley, and of those completed within the last three months, amounts in the aggregate to about sixty thousand dollars, . — NewsPaPer CHANGEs.—Mr. J. g.

ALLEN, the veteran editor, so favorably -knewn to the press and Californians generally, is at present on a visit to our town, and honored this office with a call. Rev. Mr. McCollom, who is the resident Baptist Clergyman at Nevada, preached a sermon in this place on Wednesday evening last, and in accordance with the request of his pleased audience, will preach here again one week from next Wednesday evening. Due notice will be given. The First Rain of the season fell on Tuesday morning last, before daybreak. There was just enough to lay the dust and startle the owners of leaking houses. The,Old Oak Tree which stood in front of the meat market on Main stréet, stands there no longer. Mr. GuTuriz clung to it lovingly for a good while, although it grew inconveniently in the centre of the sidewalk by his door. He could see something beautiful in it, and proudly named his establishment after it; but its spreading branches were in the way of his two-story brick, and its stout trunk too great an obstruction to street travel, so he reluctantly consented to its removal. It was the last remnant of the original forest left standing in the street, and now that it is gone the portion of the town where it stood seems vacant and lonesome, and the naked front of the new brick building stares very impudently at the desolate air. Quartz About San Juan. Several gentlemen of this place have lately taken up and recorded a ledge of quartz which issituated very near town, and which it is confidently believed will pay to work Some favorable prospects have already been obtained by crushing small portiens of the rock in a mortar, and it is the intention of the parties concerned to fully test it forthwith. If paying quartz can be found in this vicinity it will add largely to the prosperity and permanence of the community, by opening a wider field for the investment of capital and the employment of labor. There is certainly enough quartz to be found; the only question is—will it pay? It is worth while to know. Inhuman Cruelty. Some wretch in human form was seen beatfog a horse with great violence over the head and nose, on Tuesday evening last, not far this side ef Cherokee. He was driving a span of horses attached to a wagon, and what the poor brute he was murdering had done to offend him we have not learned; but he could have done nothing to warrant such cruel punishment. The man (?) beat him across the head--the most sensitive part of a horse—with what appeared to be the heavy iron end of a trace for at least fifteen minutes, the helpless and bewildered animal struggling ineffectually to avoid the storm of blows. When this occurrence took place the pine Woods were dark with the coming night, the -planet Venus shone like a emaller moon in the West, the Comet flished its streaming hair to the left of ruddy Mars, and all nature was calm and lovely. But that miserable wretch, insensible to all this, and to the thousand starry eyes that saw his infamy, let loose the hell of his passions on the dumb, helpless brute which had served him long and faithfully. Such a man as that would not respect woman’s innocence nor be touched by the tears of orphans. We should dread to be in his power, and would avoid his acquaintance as if he were the murderer of babes. There is too much of this wanton and useless cruelty to animals. Very frequently men may be geen along the roads beating their dumb servants just as described above, or even worse—we knew a man once to gouge out a mule’s eye! Persons who have s0 little feeling as to be guilty of such acts cannot be deterred from them by appeals to their humanity; but it may check them to know that there is a. special statute prohibiting cruelty to animals, and which provides as follows : “Ee person who shall maliciously kill,maim or aan . any horse, ox, or other domestic anigal belonging to another, or shall maliciously or CRUELLY BEAT OR TORTURE any such animal, ER BELONGING TO HIMSELF OR ANOTHER, ] conviction, be punished by a FINE of not more than FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, OR BY ’ NT IN THE COUNTY JAIL not exceeding six months, OR BY BOTH SUCH FINE AND IMPRISONMENT. éAlleeeesem, John?” A Chinaman applied at the stage office in his place for passage to Nevada, saying that he had no money with him, but had plenty in Nevada and would pay there—“‘all-ee sem.” The agent refused to allow him a passage on theso wncertain terms, but John stowed himself in the stage, expecting to be allowed to proceed. The was about to drag him forth, when John’s aad euddeniy dived into a sea of nankeen and game up with a doable eagle, out of which he naid bis fare. The crowd of on-lookers laughed heartily at John’s cool mer.dacity and his defeat, @nd be joined them, bearing on bis face a cunning look as if he deemed that he had exhibited commendable shrewcn>ss. Associate Judges. reg Coiuins, of Cherokee, and Harr: of Moore’s Flat, were on Monday last elected, by the Justices’ Convention which assemthled at Nevada, to the dignity of sitting as sidejudges in the Court of Sessions. They will no doubt have the high honor of giving their opingone as to the hardness of the bench. Sh Rika eR se Garden. One of the best gardens in this vicinity is owned and cultivated by Chinese. It is situated “om the little brook which crosses the road to Freeman’s, and yields all sorts of Celestial vegeles not raised by Americans. The poset ion ofedit for their industry and neatness.

Koozer, whose paper, the San Andreas Independent, is second to no interior journal in California, has withdrawn from the editorship of that sheet, and is succeeded by a former contributor, Mr. Seabough, who wrote that poetical brevity—‘‘Music of the Night.” f= Mr. Geo. W. Welch, of the Alta Express, Nevada, kindly forwarded to this office yesterday, a package of San Francisco dailies. Among them is that neat little sheet, the Evening Telegram, which has for its figure head a vignette representing America and England, in the form of an Indian and white maiden, sitting upon thecable beneath the Atlantic, and whispering to one another, County Items. . From the Democrat of the 6th, we glean the following items. Roppery AND Murper.—Last Sunday evening four white men went to a Chinese eamp on Bear river, about two miles above Little York, for the purpose of robbing them. There were four Chinamen in the camp, who resisted, when the robbers fired on them, killing one of the Chinamen instantly, and wounding the other three. The robbers then took what money they could find and left. County Business.—The County Supervisors elect, Messrs. Grier, Davis and Everett, met at the Court House on Monday, and were sworn into office—Mr. Grier being President of the Board. They were engaged Monday and yesterday in looking over the affairs of the county. Yesterday evening the Board adjourned to meet on the first Monday in November. Kiitep.—A melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Moore’s Vlut on the 25th ult., resulting in the death of Mr. Charles Doe, formerly of Rutland county, Vt. The deceased was at work in some-mining claims, where a shaft had been sunk to a depth of a hundred and fifiy feet. While standing on a board which had been laid across the shaft, it broke and he was precipitated to the bottom. An iron bar, which fell into the shaft at the same time, was run through his body, entering the abdomen and coming out at the back. He was brought to the surfrce as soon as possible, and survived about two hours,when he expired. ? Quartz Macuinery.—-Mr. A. J. Doolittle, of Grizzly Hil, in this county, has recently received a patent from Washington, for an improvement in quartz mill machinery. The invention consists in employing flat springs to which the stampers are connected, for the double purpose of guiding the stampers and increasing the force of the blow. It further consists in so arranging the battery that the finer pieces of quartz can pass out so that the large pieces are always exposed to the full force of the blow. From an examination of the drawings, we should judge that the improvement might be used to advantage in quartz mills. Brautat Assautt.—An elderly lady named Davis was brutally knocked down in the Brooklyn House, on Broad street, by one Tim Murray. Mrs. Davis received several severe but not dangerous wounds upon the head from the club used by ber drunken assailant. Justice Smith bound the fellow over to the next Grand Jury in $1,000 bonds. Socian Batu.—The ladies of Saow Drop Social Temple, Moorg’s Flat, were to give a ball at that place on the evening of the 8th. The Wevada National of the 2d, gives an unusual quantity of local items of interest, a portion of which we re-print: The eastern end of Main street of Grass . * Valley, isa scene of considerable activity in the way of mining. Many shafts have been sunk to the bed-rock, dritts run, and piles of dirt taken out to await the coming of water for washing. In one place the street has been let down alittle by the caving of a We understand that most of the dirt taken out prospects well. Oue or two companies have panned out as much as two bits to the pan. Quartz mining about our town is decidedly Activity is every where to be Messrs. White & Co., on Wednesday last, cleaned up $10,000, the result of crushing 100 tons of quartz. The ledge is about three feet thick, and they were just three weeks taking out the $10,000. New anp Ricu Minine Fierps.—-Within the last few months it has been discovered that the red dirt on the hills hereabout contains large quantities of gold. The dirt is carted to the mills and there crushed and washed. Whether sluicing it off would pay, has not yet been tried, on account of the scarcity of water. voc with the theorjes of many. got there, is not a question with those engaged in hauling red dirt; and had they paused to deliberate the matter, probably never would have found the gold. is that though seemingly poor, and without the ‘concomitant circumstances’ which show gold-bearing earth, the red dirt does pay.— Messrs. Larimer & Co. are crushing red surface dirt from New York Hill, which is paying them from $6 to $8 per load. From This discovery plays haHow gold Certain it Ophir, Sebastopol, Gold, Osborne, Echo, and many other surrounding hills, parties are There is no doubt but that dirt from all the hills, whose surfaces contain decomposed quartz, may be obtained which will prove highly remunerative. The expense of this kind of mining is se small that capital is not required to embark in it. We have heard of several companies forming to try other hills than those mentioned. CEeLEBRATION.—Monday evening last the inbabitants of Grass Valley celebrated the laying of the Atlantic Cable, without any concert of action, or any previous arrangement. The canon—‘Old D2mocracy’—was called into service, and awakened the echoes far and wide. The celebration was entirely impromptu, and the gladness which everywhere was exhibited, showed that the popular heart was in it. We have to thank Mr. T. Worthington for a present of figs. They were raised about a mile above this place, thus showing that winter here, is not sufficient to kill the trees.— Mr. Worthington’s example should be followed by all—plant some fig trees. Grares.—We were shown a second crop of grapes, growing in Dr. Tompkin’s garden. The clusters are nearly as large and full as those of the first crop, and bid fair to ripen fally before cool weather. The value of the buildings now going up in Grass Valley, and of those completed within the last three months, amounts in the aggregate to about sixty thousand dollars, . — NewsPaPer CHANGEs.—Mr. J. g.
