Eprror Transcript:—When I .wrote on the 29th instant I made use of the expression, “Her older and younger} sisters,” referring to the date when our county, if I may use the word “our,” took upon herself the duties and re-. sponsibilities of a county-government. Such is the case, however, strange as it may appear, for Nevada county was thd 28th in.the order of creation, and the date was the 28th of April, 1851. Placer follows on the same date, and her number is 29. Sierra was created. Previous to:'these dates there were 27 counties organized, the date of their organizations being February 18, 1850; Among the number was Yuba, which ‘was number 27, and the three counties: first named, or the territory now comprising the same, was called Yuba. As there are at present 57 counties com: . prising the. State, Nevada stands almost in the center of created counties. younger and her older sisters she has held her own with them all; and, notwithstanding thé adversity she has met with-at times, she has risen from her. misfortunes, she has thrown off the ineubus which seemed to envelop her day she stands forth as an example of distanced them all in the ES and toGay she is recognized as the leading interior county of.the State. Nor is this my individual opinion. In the past three days I have conversed with sev? eral gentlemen of intelligence from different parts of the State—some, too, whose counties were competing with Nevada—and the general concensus of opinion. was ths came, and that is, that whenever the peopis of Nevada county make up their minds to succeed nothing can stay their course. In all communities, of course, there are some narrow-minded men—some who are slike pigs—some men who have not a thought beyond the trough they feed from or the swill they swallow down with many a grunt of satisfaction. ‘These men get their feet in the trough —to carry out the similie—and if they get their fill they are satisfied. No thought of the little pigs enter their small brains; and they strut before the feed which should be given to others with a complacency which passeth all understanding, and. say, unto themselves: “We are the great big HoGs, and we don’t care whether any of the little pigs get anything to eat or not.” I shall make the application later on. Let me speak of something pleasant, and again of THE ‘FAIR. On Saturday morning I went to the Payilion, as requested by Mr. N. P. Brown, and introduced myself to Mr. Shoecraft. I was cordially received, but was asked to come back at 3 p. m. as he was very busy. This I could readily see. The whole Pavilion was fn a chaotic state. “Confusion worse confounded” was evident onevery side. I was politely told to come in the evening when I announced myself at three. This I did, but success did not meet my efforts tointerview Mr.Shoecraft. ‘So I picked up what I could and hurried home to put on paper what you ware already received. ~ I forgot to say that Judge McFarland, B. J. Watson,:.George W. Welch and George Bennett were conspicuous by their presence, There wére: others, I presume, bat I did not know them. And right here let me say that the Hon. J. H. Neff and myself on that night buried the bloody hatchet, and ouce more we are the firm friends we were before Mr. Wright threw an un provoked stink-pot in the Miners’ Convention three or four years ago.

That is a photograph of the Allison Ranch mine and its works on the surface.” The crowd was too great to explain more. This morning sha specimens were placed in the show-cases prepared for them.
