Srint. ANoruer.—There was quite a little excitement at Virginia City, last week, in consequence of the reported discovery of another rich vein of ore, at first thought to be silver, but which has since proved to be lead, no doubt highly argentiferous. Itis thought the discovery will prove valuable, and add still another feature to the mineral resources of this remarkable region. This . new discovery is on the further side of Carson River, and in the direction of Genoa. ing them will be augmented. Ricuer Srivt.—The proprietors of the “Spanish Claim,” adjoining the Comstock ground. and on the same lead, have recently struck richer ore than has ever before been found in that region. This rich strike waa . made at a lower depth than had previously been reached.

Circumcision.—We had the pleasure, . a few days since, by invitation, to be present . at the celebration of the ancient Jewish rite of circumcision, at the house of our friend and fellow townsman, Mr. Moses Korn whose lady had recently presented him with a male heir to his estate. The officiating gentleman was the depot for the California Central Railroad; and will be the nearest point to the Railroad from Nevada and Sierra counties. Messrs Hyman & Co, have made a survey fora. turnpike, from the Bear River bridge to Lincoln which will be completed early in the spring, The distance from here ot Lincola . being 20 miles, we will be enabled to reach Sacramento by that route, in about balf the time occupiedin going, via Auburn, and Folsom.

When life becomes a burthen to the dissipated and miserable wretch he bas only to end his career of crime and misery by self destruction, and the sympathetic world renders ® verdict of insanity. The cool and sys~ tematic murderer—the more boldly and humbly he consumates bis hellish acts, the more readily can the philanthropist find an excuse under the plea of insanity. The Cata. lines, Old Browns, Gerrit Smiths, Abolitionieta and traitors of every name, color, or pretext can invade a peaceable neighborhood,or be accessary to it, and roii and murder with impunity the citizens of a atate of the American Republic, and yet they are te be pittied as martyrs, to receive the sympathics of all lovers of freedom, and to be acquited by our legal tribunals under the very convenient plea of insanity. This, at least, is the argument used by the Bl ack Republican— Abolition press of Callifornia, and the northern and eastern states in behalf of old Brown and his coagutors, “Treason is but trusted like the fox, Who, ne’er so tame, #o cherish’d, and lock’d up!

Several sand bars near that city have been shifted or newly formed, much to the inconvenience of steamboat navigators on that river. The process of‘‘ filling up’” seems to be going on with an increased ratio, and railway connection between the two principle cites of the state will soon become a matter of absolute necessity.

With the exception of a short time when the jews, ‘forgot God,” during their wanderings in the wilderness, they have never omitted to practice this rite, down to the present day. Most of the nations of antiquity, the Phoenicians, the Egyptians the Ethiopians and many otber nations, whose religon was more or less derived from the ancient Hebrew faith, also precticed Circumcision. Herodotus, the father of history, frequently refers to it. It bas ever been practiced by all trae musselmen, although it is not strictly enjoined in the Koran. The Jews above all others are most strict and scrupulous in its observance, as they hold it to bethe seal of the covenant under which they yet hope to be once again restored to the land of their fathers. Brurotary & Ropsery.—On Sunday, the 19th inst., James Napthali, and old offender, while Mr. W. P. Goldsmith and family were at church, broke open the back door of their dwelling house, on Mill Street, but bad only time to take Mrs. G’s. gold watch before the family returned from church and surprised him at bis operations. The thiefconcealed himself under the bed, but was soon discovered. A warrant of arrest was issued by Justice S. C. Richardson, and he was sent up to stand his trial at the next term of the Court of Sessions. In all probability, James Napthali will soon be at San Quentin learning tomake brick. Itis hoped that the good people will be exceeding careful in leaving their dwellings, entirely alone, on Sundays, as no doubt there isa gang of robbers infesting this and our neighboring towns. #@ The P.

Those desiring comfort and speed will gain both by petronising this line. acard in our advertising columns. Mr. John Johnson has been to long and favorably known to the public of Grass Valley to need any word of reccomendation from us. Curipres axp Scnoors in Nevana CovnTr.—According to the School Census of this County, which has recently been completed. there are 1,665 children in the County between the ages of four and eighteen years. The number under four is 995, making a total of 2,660. Of this number, 1,398 were born in California. The returns show that only 600 have attended the public schools during the past year. The “Nevada Democrat,” in alluding to this fact says: “It thus appears that only about one-third of the school obildren of the County have attended school during the past year, while the other two-thirds are growup in ignorance. This is not a very fiattering prospect for the rising generation.” This remark, so far as Grass Valley is concerned, is certainly not warranted. as in the above enumeration, no account is made of the attendance at private schools. There are in this place not less than five private schools. in operation the year round, besides a most excellent public school, which constantly employs two good teachers. The attendance on the private schools is fully, . D if not more than double that of the public school. We presume there are also other private schools in various parts of the County. MEA 1ED.

ANoruer.—There was quite a little excitement at Virginia City, last week, in consequence of the reported discovery of another rich vein of ore, at first thought to be silver, but which has since proved to be lead, no doubt highly argentiferous. Itis thought the discovery will prove valuable, and add still another feature to the mineral resources of this remarkable region. This . new discovery is on the further side of Carson River, and in the direction of Genoa. ing them will be augmented.

The officiating gentleman was the depot for the California Central Railroad; and will be the nearest point to the Railroad from Nevada and Sierra counties.

With the exception of a short time when the jews, ‘forgot God,” during their wanderings in the wilderness, they have never omitted to practice this rite, down to the present day. Most of the nations of antiquity, the Phoenicians, the Egyptians the Ethiopians and many otber nations, whose religon was more or less derived from the ancient Hebrew faith, also precticed Circumcision. Herodotus, the father of history, frequently refers to it. It bas ever been practiced by all trae musselmen, although it is not strictly enjoined in the Koran. The Jews above all others are most strict and scrupulous in its observance, as they hold it to bethe seal of the covenant under which they yet hope to be once again restored to the land of their fathers.

The thiefconcealed himself under the bed, but was soon discovered. A warrant of arrest was issued by Justice S. C. Richardson, and he was sent up to stand his trial at the next term of the Court of Sessions. In all probability, James Napthali will soon be at San Quentin learning tomake brick. Itis hoped that the good people will be exceeding careful in leaving their dwellings, entirely alone, on Sundays, as no doubt there isa gang of robbers infesting this and our neighboring towns. #@ The P.

Curipres axp Scnoors in Nevana CovnTr.—According to the School Census of this County, which has recently been completed. there are 1,665 children in the County between the ages of four and eighteen years. The number under four is 995, making a total of 2,660. Of this number, 1,398 were born in California. The returns show that only 600 have attended the public schools during the past year. The “Nevada Democrat,” in alluding to this fact says: “It thus appears that only about one-third of the school obildren of the County have attended school during the past year, while the other two-thirds are growup in ignorance. This is not a very fiattering prospect for the rising generation.” This remark, so far as Grass Valley is concerned, is certainly not warranted. as in the above enumeration, no account is made of the attendance at private schools. There are in this place not less than five private schools. in operation the year round, besides a most excellent public school, which constantly employs two good teachers. The attendance on the private schools is fully, . D if not more than double that of the public school. We presume there are also other private schools in various parts of the County. MEA 1ED.
