CHICAGO PARK. The New Colony to be Established Near Storms’ Ranch. The promoters of the Chicago-California Colony who propose to establish a town in this county on the line ofjthe Narrow Gauge railroad bétween Storms’ Ranch and Colfax near the ranch, have issued a prospectus and are now busily enzaged in carrying * out their plans. Their office is at No. 40 Dearborn street, Chicago. They have 2,300 acres of land lying at an_altitude of 2,400 feet. The prospectus “This property is now bonded to parties there, for whom the’ commissioners have power to act, at an average of $75 per acre, one-third cash, one-third in one and one-third in two years at eight per cent. interest for deferred payments. : “Fach purchaser will be required: to improve at least—five acres the first years. It has been the experience of former colonies that improvements must be made to enhance the value of lands. . This has been more recently illustrated by our former colony in Southern California where the lands have doubled in vdlue twice in six months. Careful. estimates put the maximum, cost of clearing (where clearing is necessary), plowing and planting five acres in deciduous fruit trees, vines or berries, at $15 per acre, * including cost of trees and vines. Remember that, as no irrigation is required, no leveling of land is necessa; ry.” A town is to be laid out, a park started and a hotel built. ‘ihe town lots will be sold-for from $50 to $75, according to location, aid the buyers agree toimprovethem. Intoxicating liquors are not to be sold in the town, the deeds regulating this. ; HERE AND THERE. The house of Charles Richards, burned Thursday night, was’ insured in acompany represented by Frank Power. . A forest fire is burning in the vicinity of Newtown. A house belonging to Mr. Davis had a narrow escape from destruction. : Ten o’clock A. M. on the 29th instant has been fixed asthe time for hearing the tenth account of the administrator of the estate.of T.W=Sigourney, deceased. Mr. Shurtleff will. preach at the Episcopal Church at 11 o’clock this morning, his subject being, “The Secret of Successful Prayer.” Sunday school convenes at 12:30. Tidings: An important mining sale, in this district, will no doubt be consummated next week. If the sale occurs, one of the best, if not the very best, old mines will be re-opened. At the Congregational Church today “there will. be'services morning and evening as usual. In the evening the pastor, Rev. J. Sims, will discuss ‘“The Three Greatest Evils Known to the American People of this Day.” All are cordially invited. a There will be no services today at St. Canice Catholic Church. Rev. Father Tanham, the rector, left yesterday with Rev. Father Callan, of Marysville, for a trip along the San Juan ridge, and expects to be gone most of this week. The members of Mountain Division, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, have decided to go into camp at Sacramznto during the State Fair. A special meeting of the Division will be held next Wednesday evening to perfect arrangements for the event. The telephone being constritcted between this city and Grass Valley is the joint property of the Electric Company and the South Yuba Water Company. These corporations will use it exclusively, for their own business. The line will extend from the South Yuba Company’s office at this end to Geo. W. Hill’s office in Grass Valley. Parties are talking of constructing a line between the two towns for the aécommodation of the public, and they believe it would prove a paying investment. The Boys in Blue Depart. x. Company C, First Lieutenant Nihell eommaniding, left on.yesterday morning’s train for Santa Cruz to go into camp with the.rest of the First Artillery Regiment. Within two or three of fifty went down, and they were in high spirits. They presented a splendid appearance as they marched down Broad street on their way tothe depot. Comp. Gault and John Black made tenor drum music for the marching. Fire on the Greenhorn. There was quite a forest fire last week along the line of L. Voss’s tram railway three miles above his mill.

Under the above caption the-Tidings. accuses the Transcrirt of attempting to excuse or smotker something thie former has conjured up in its mind against the Supervisors of this county, the precise nature of which has not beef defined or explained, because this paper suggested that if there were any charges to be brought they should be laid before the Grand Jury. There are some minds so contemptibly mean that the motives of others are always gauged by their own selfish impulses. Never having an honest thought, they naturally assume the non-existence of integrity in all others. The Tidings belongs to this class by the laws of natural selection, and assumes the role of public ‘accuser without the necessity of formulating, a. charge, through its inordinate desire to grutify some selfish purpose—stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. One would expect a definite avowal on the part of the Tidings as to what the Transcript is trying to whitewash, were it not for the obtuse and blunted sense of justice possessed by that sheet. WH at‘specific charges have been brought against. the Supervisors, that the Transcripr has been called upon to whitewash them? Judge Stidger has intimated something of a serious nature against Mr: Pridgeon, but what the Tidings’ charges are against the others does not appear. In what respect is this paper trying to whitewash anyone because it deems. the Grand Jury the proper body ‘te investigate the charges? The Tidings is ashamed to have its case presented before that body. Why? Because it says the efficiency of the Grand Jury depends on the advice of the District Attorney, and it is governed accordingly. In other words, the leading citizens.of this county‘are wholly devoid of _ all independence and executory will, and if convened will become the puppets of some county officer. Now this is a direct slap in the face and an insult to every jury-serving taxpayer in the county. The Transcript has . confidence in the ability and disposition of the next Grand Jury of this county to ferret out and unearth all crookedness and corruption ‘which may exist in official circles if there is any substance in the charges which, it is said, will be brought against the Supervisors. But it has no confidence in those who are constantly consuming endless quantities of printers’. ink with the howl of “‘wolf’?—a cry that has been heard so often any citizen may be pardoned for being somewhat skeptieal even if a real wolfis at the door. When there is some ocular demonstration of the fact, then the Transcript will howl even louder than the Tidings. . The position, of the Transcrirt in this matter is that the people of this county will have more confidence in the result and be better satisfied _ if the Grand Jury investigate it than if any single individual takes the matter upon himself. No single newspaper or person can successfully make himself a self-constituted censor, and the public weal will suffer if he attempts it, for the. aims of justice may be defeated. As the leadii:g and most influential paper in the county, the Transcript feels impelled to take this position, no matter how painful it may be to the Tidings. It is simply a position expected of it by its large and extended circle of patrons. Inthe meantime if any developments occur, the Transcript, realizing the fact that the Tidings among its numerous other readers depends in avreat measure on it for the news, will keep both sides posted: It might also be added that Judge Walling will probably call a Grand Jury during next month. If there is danger of the Tidings’ case spoiling in the mean‘time, Uncle Rufe should put it.on ice. The County Exhibits. The committee appointed by the Supervisors to take charge of the Nevada county exhibits at the State and Mechanics Fairs, met at this city yes) terday, all the members but Mr. Driesbach being present. J.R, Nickerson accepted the appointment as superintendent of the horticultural and agricultural displaye. He is to receive $2.50 per diem and all expenses while muking the collections; also $3 a day and expenses while at the Fairs, and railroad fare to and from there. He was limited to an expense not to exceed $500 in all without permission of the committee. John Canfield's declination as superintendent of the mineral and forestry display was received. John Werry was appointed to the position, his total expenses being limited to $300. He isto receive $2.50 a day and expenses while collecting; $3 a day while at the Fair, traveling expenses, and in case of a surplus of funds, such additional compensation as may be just. : The Duplay Case Adjusted. The case instituted recently against F. Duplayby Mons.--Landresse who charged him with obtaining money under false pretenses, has practically been adjusted. The preliminary hearing set for yesterday in Justice Sowden’s court has been postponed till the first proximo, defendant’s bondsmen being in the meantime released.

The new hoisting and pumping works at the Champion quartz mine in this district were started up Friday afternoon for the first time, and worked remarkably smooth and noiseless. The men who had been engaged in their Construction, together with numerous other interested parties, stood around viewing with pride and gatisfaction the success of the millwnghts’ hoisting shaft rattled just the least bit as it buzzed around. “Guess it needs a drop of oil,” said boss Parsons. “Tl fix it in a jiffy,” remarked his assistant, carpenter Frank Miller, picking up an oil-can. Miller stepped up to the shaft which was revolving at the rate of 145 revolutions a minute, and proceeded to lubricate it. The shirt-sleeve of the arm in which he held the can hung slack, The first thing he knew one of the, folds of the cloth caught ‘on the set= screwof the’ shaft’s collar. He felt himself being hauled forward. He is a musculat.man, and bracing himself drew back with all his might in the hope of pulling himself loose. a He might as wel. have tried to stop a locomotive under full steam with a riata. In much less time than one can read how ithappened he was béing whirled around and around at a rate that took his breath away. Three times or more he thus revolved, and then everything seemed to him to give way at once, Something dropped. . . It was Miller alighting from his novel ride. ; : It was at this juncture that Mr. Mil ler, who is a bachelor of long standing, blushed for the first ime in many years. It was enough to make anybody blush. There he stood costumed as was the original Adam beforé the usefulness of the fig-leat was discovered, excepiing that to one leg clung the tattered remnants of what had been‘a lower extension of a pair of drawers. With this exception he had been “shucked’’ of his clothing. He had a slight bruise on the top of his head and a few other unimportant injuries. It is a miracle he did not meet with a horrible death. The Kindergarten. Nevapa City, Augd#st 12th. Eprror Transcript: Permit me through your valuable columns to call the attention of parents to the usefulness of the Kindergarten upon children of ffom.:three to seven years of age, or Ufitil they are eligible to attend the public schools. Being a mother myself I know the care and anxiety resting on the mind about our little {ones. Having nothing to interest them during the day, they were continually getting into. mischief, or running away, their clothes all mud or dust, until Ihad become almost distracted. Their faces had to be washed every hour in the day anda bath all over on going to bed. When the little cherubs were asleep I felt ‘relief from worry and care. When Miss Freeman commenced her Kindergarten in the basement of the’ Methodist Church I thought I would see if it possessed the attractiveness for my little ones that I had read it was doing in other places, although I had grave doubts of its accomplishing any good, as I believed that my youngsters were incorrigible.’ But one week after they had been going satisfied me that my ideas were erroneous, and my donbts and fears were all dispelled. There is an attractiveness about it that cannot be explained. Whether it is in the! teacher or in the peculiar style of the manner of education I cannot say ; but Miss Freeman wins the children over to her before they are aware of it. They are charmed with their pleasant surroundings, merry songs, interesting games and pretty work. Nor is it all play forthe children, Unconsciously tothem, hands and mind are being educated, and the training thus received prepares them for more ‘advanced studies., Miss Freeman is eminéently qualified for the position, having taught in one of the. best. Kindergartens in San Francisco.I wish that the mothers of our little ones in Nevada City some afternoon would pay a visit to the school and see for themselves the good this lady is accomplishing, and I hesitate not to say that inside of a month the basement of the Methodist Church would be filled with ‘children, who in place of worrying the life out of their mothers, would be eager to go to the Kindergarten, scarcely taking time to get something to eat. Besides this, mothers, it will make -your children polite, gentle and wellbehaved. . Moruer. The Brunswick Mine. The three-compartment shaft of the Brunswick claim in Grass Valley has been sunk about fifty feet to where it encounters the up-raise from the drain tunnel and obtains a total depth of 175 feet.

The best Salve in the world for Cuts, . , A STREAM OF FIRE.The August Meteors—Some Remarks About Them Not Strictly Original. Since Tuesday the world has been passing through a meteoric stream or belt composed of myriads of sniall opaque bodies which are, according to one theory, the debris of*an extinct comet. Another theory is that of Prof. Richard Proctor, who maintains that most of the meteor streams with which the earth comes in contact are derived frown the earth itself; that is,* thrown off by volcanic action at a time when the internal forces of our planet were sufficiently active to give the initial velocity, some twelve miles to a second, requisite to curry them beyond the earth’s attraction. This circle of fragmentury matter is con:posed of material ranging in size from the finest, dust to masses of many tons in wei ht, though not sufficiently large to be visible by the light thBy reflect. Undoubtedly matter exists throughout interplanetary space in a variety of conditions and forms, in single grains and nodules and agglomerations of these smaller particles. Also there are revolving in space individual masses of’ great bulk and weight, though invisible ; when of a discoverable size they constitute what are known as planetoids or asteroids. In the interplanetary spaces there, are not only detached nodules and masses, each revolving in a dependent. orbit and giving rise to sporadic meteors (those seen at any and all seasons), but also connected systems or streams of matter forming rings or zones around the sun. The intersection of the earth’s orbit’ by such rings or streams of scattering meteors accounts for the per.odic showers of. so-called shooting stars. ' oe The August meteors are supposed to disappear today. Their annual occurrence is of sufficient regularity to have been noticed in ancient times, and are spoken of as ‘‘the fiery tears of St. Lawrence,’’ whose-festival occurs August 10th. In moving through its orbit the earth passes through several streams or rings of the little planets, which blaze out as shooting stars when they come in contact with ‘our atmosphere. The most notable of the zones are passed through November 12th and 13th, and October 18th, 19th and’ 20th. The rings of Saturn. are probably streams of the same little bodies that come into the atmosphere of the earth as ‘‘shooting stars,’”’ and sometimes reach the ground as serolites. A Former.Nevada Countyan. Matthew Gill, whose body was found on Wednesday last on the beach near the Cliff House at San Francisco, was a resident of Nevada City from 1855 till 1859. In the latter year: he moved to North San Juan and became a partner with John T. Morgan in the lacksmith business, remaining there till 1864 where he went with the crowd to Reese River. On his return hé-again located at Nevada City remaining for several years. After leaving here he was located for atime at Dayton, Nevada, and subsequently located permanently in San Francisco where he resided up to the time of his death. He was a native of New Castle, England. He was aman of good traits, a kind and sympathising friend. He had a wifé, but no children, and is supposed to. have been in gooil circumstances financially. . There are still living here many old settlers who will remember Matt. Gill, as he was familiarly called, with much _ kindly feeling. He came to this State from Australia in 1853 or 1854, having gone to the latter country from New York when the gcld excitement broke out there in 1852. s a. od ; The Pioneer Miners. The new society known as the Pioneer Miners held its first election at San Francisco a few days ago, and J. C. Broderick, formerly of this county, was chosen as one of the Vice Presidente. The’ principal object of the association, as stated in the constitution, are to cultivate social intercouse, renew the friendship and recollections of‘early days, create. a fund for charitable purposes in behalf of its members, form a library and cabinet, and’ te: collect and preserve information connected with the early settlement and subsequent, history of the county. A person must have resided in California prior to the 1st day of Jannary. 1860, and in a mining district thereof during a period of six months to be eligible to membership. Painless Regulation. It is no longer-a question of doubt— although the contrary was once be‘ieved—that. medicines which produce violent effects are unsuited to other than desperate emergencies. In other words, that super-potent remedies are calculated to weaken aud injure the system rather than reform its irregularities. Among medicines of debilitating. effect are cathartics and cholagogues which copiously and abruptly evacuate the bowels, Because it does not do this, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is preferable to the drenching class of purgatives. Painless in its effect, it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic constipation. It relieves by invigorating the intestines, and enables, not forces, them to angers the duty imposed upon them by nature. » Promoting the secretion of bile in normal quanties by its healthful stimulating effect upon the live:, it is eminently conductive to digestion, and contributes in no small degree to keep the bowels regular.

A correspondent of the Tidings suggests that the public keep a close watch on.the Cominittee appointed by the Supervisors to spend the appropriation of $1000 for exhibits at the State and Mechanics’ Institute Fairs. The Supervisors had= contidence that the committee would endeavor to make a judicious use of the money committed to its care, without an attempt to “grind axes’ for any one. The Supervisors wold never have thought it safe to appoint such individuals as the correspondent, as they certainly would have needed watchiag to preve t them from. yreasingtheir own paling with the money. People who are so full of suspicion towards their fellows, are not themselves safe depositories of any public or private trust.—Grass Valley Union. Evidently the Union thinks it knows who the ‘‘mud-throwing”’ correspondent, asthe Tidings call him, is. The Nevada City members of the committee appointed by the Supervisors say they are informed as to who he is, and that they think he will hurt himself more than he will-anything else if he is only given enough rope. ———2 2@eo— The County Assessment. _ The County Auditor has footed up the assessment roll after changes made by the Board of Equalization, and the results are as follows: City and town lots, $336,720 ; improvements thereon, $1,070,625.

CHICAGO PARK. The New Colony to be Established Near Storms’ Ranch. The promoters of the Chicago-California Colony who propose to establish a town in this county on the line ofjthe Narrow Gauge railroad bétween Storms’ Ranch and Colfax near the ranch, have issued a prospectus and are now busily enzaged in carrying * out their plans. Their office is at No. 40 Dearborn street, Chicago. They have 2,300 acres of land lying at an_altitude of 2,400 feet. The prospectus “This property is now bonded to parties there, for whom the’ commissioners have power to act, at an average of $75 per acre, one-third cash, one-third in one and one-third in two years at eight per cent. interest for deferred payments. : “Fach purchaser will be required: to improve at least—five acres the first years. It has been the experience of former colonies that improvements must be made to enhance the value of lands. . This has been more recently illustrated by our former colony in Southern California where the lands have doubled in vdlue twice in six months. Careful. estimates put the maximum, cost of clearing (where clearing is necessary), plowing and planting five acres in deciduous fruit trees, vines or berries, at $15 per acre, * including cost of trees and vines. Remember that, as no irrigation is required, no leveling of land is necessa; ry.” A town is to be laid out, a park started and a hotel built. ‘ihe town lots will be sold-for from $50 to $75, according to location, aid the buyers agree toimprovethem.

At the Congregational Church today “there will. be'services morning and evening as usual. In the evening the pastor, Rev. J. Sims, will discuss ‘“The Three Greatest Evils Known to the American People of this Day.” All are cordially invited. a There will be no services today at St. Canice Catholic Church. Rev. Father Tanham, the rector, left yesterday with Rev. Father Callan, of Marysville, for a trip along the San Juan ridge, and expects to be gone most of this week. The members of Mountain Division, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, have decided to go into camp at Sacramznto during the State Fair. A special meeting of the Division will be held next Wednesday evening to perfect arrangements for the event.

Under the above caption the-Tidings. accuses the Transcrirt of attempting to excuse or smotker something thie former has conjured up in its mind against the Supervisors of this county, the precise nature of which has not beef defined or explained, because this paper suggested that if there were any charges to be brought they should be laid before the Grand Jury. There are some minds so contemptibly mean that the motives of others are always gauged by their own selfish impulses. Never having an honest thought, they naturally assume the non-existence of integrity in all others. The Tidings belongs to this class by the laws of natural selection, and assumes the role of public ‘accuser without the necessity of formulating, a. charge, through its inordinate desire to grutify some selfish purpose—stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. One would expect a definite avowal on the part of the Tidings as to what the Transcript is trying to whitewash, were it not for the obtuse and blunted sense of justice possessed by that sheet. WH at‘specific charges have been brought against. the Supervisors, that the Transcripr has been called upon to whitewash them? Judge Stidger has intimated something of a serious nature against Mr: Pridgeon, but what the Tidings’ charges are against the others does not appear. In what respect is this paper trying to whitewash anyone because it deems. the Grand Jury the proper body ‘te investigate the charges? The Tidings is ashamed to have its case presented before that body. Why? Because it says the efficiency of the Grand Jury depends on the advice of the District Attorney, and it is governed accordingly. In other words, the leading citizens.of this county‘are wholly devoid of _ all independence and executory will, and if convened will become the puppets of some county officer. Now this is a direct slap in the face and an insult to every jury-serving taxpayer in the county. The Transcript has . confidence in the ability and disposition of the next Grand Jury of this county to ferret out and unearth all crookedness and corruption ‘which may exist in official circles if there is any substance in the charges which, it is said, will be brought against the Supervisors. But it has no confidence in those who are constantly consuming endless quantities of printers’. ink with the howl of “‘wolf’?—a cry that has been heard so often any citizen may be pardoned for being somewhat skeptieal even if a real wolfis at the door. When there is some ocular demonstration of the fact, then the Transcript will howl even louder than the Tidings. . The position, of the Transcrirt in this matter is that the people of this county will have more confidence in the result and be better satisfied _ if the Grand Jury investigate it than if any single individual takes the matter upon himself. No single newspaper or person can successfully make himself a self-constituted censor, and the public weal will suffer if he attempts it, for the. aims of justice may be defeated. As the leadii:g and most influential paper in the county, the Transcript feels impelled to take this position, no matter how painful it may be to the Tidings. It is simply a position expected of it by its large and extended circle of patrons. Inthe meantime if any developments occur, the Transcript, realizing the fact that the Tidings among its numerous other readers depends in avreat measure on it for the news, will keep both sides posted: It might also be added that Judge Walling will probably call a Grand Jury during next month. If there is danger of the Tidings’ case spoiling in the mean‘time, Uncle Rufe should put it.on ice. The County Exhibits. The committee appointed by the Supervisors to take charge of the Nevada county exhibits at the State and Mechanics Fairs, met at this city yes) terday, all the members but Mr. Driesbach being present. J.R, Nickerson accepted the appointment as superintendent of the horticultural and agricultural displaye. He is to receive $2.50 per diem and all expenses while muking the collections; also $3 a day and expenses while at the Fairs, and railroad fare to and from there. He was limited to an expense not to exceed $500 in all without permission of the committee. John Canfield's declination as superintendent of the mineral and forestry display was received. John Werry was appointed to the position, his total expenses being limited to $300. He isto receive $2.50 a day and expenses while collecting; $3 a day while at the Fair, traveling expenses, and in case of a surplus of funds, such additional compensation as may be just. : The Duplay Case Adjusted. The case instituted recently against F. Duplayby Mons.--Landresse who charged him with obtaining money under false pretenses, has practically been adjusted.

The new hoisting and pumping works at the Champion quartz mine in this district were started up Friday afternoon for the first time, and worked remarkably smooth and noiseless. The men who had been engaged in their Construction, together with numerous other interested parties, stood around viewing with pride and gatisfaction the success of the millwnghts’ hoisting shaft rattled just the least bit as it buzzed around. “Guess it needs a drop of oil,” said boss Parsons. “Tl fix it in a jiffy,” remarked his assistant, carpenter Frank Miller, picking up an oil-can. Miller stepped up to the shaft which was revolving at the rate of 145 revolutions a minute, and proceeded to lubricate it. The shirt-sleeve of the arm in which he held the can hung slack, The first thing he knew one of the, folds of the cloth caught ‘on the set= screwof the’ shaft’s collar. He felt himself being hauled forward. He is a musculat.man, and bracing himself drew back with all his might in the hope of pulling himself loose. a He might as wel. have tried to stop a locomotive under full steam with a riata. In much less time than one can read how ithappened he was béing whirled around and around at a rate that took his breath away. Three times or more he thus revolved, and then everything seemed to him to give way at once, Something dropped. . . It was Miller alighting from his novel ride. ; : It was at this juncture that Mr. Mil ler, who is a bachelor of long standing, blushed for the first ime in many years. It was enough to make anybody blush. There he stood costumed as was the original Adam beforé the usefulness of the fig-leat was discovered, excepiing that to one leg clung the tattered remnants of what had been‘a lower extension of a pair of drawers. With this exception he had been “shucked’’ of his clothing. He had a slight bruise on the top of his head and a few other unimportant injuries. It is a miracle he did not meet with a horrible death. The Kindergarten. Nevapa City, Augd#st 12th. Eprror Transcript: Permit me through your valuable columns to call the attention of parents to the usefulness of the Kindergarten upon children of ffom.:three to seven years of age, or Ufitil they are eligible to attend the public schools. Being a mother myself I know the care and anxiety resting on the mind about our little {ones. Having nothing to interest them during the day, they were continually getting into. mischief, or running away, their clothes all mud or dust, until Ihad become almost distracted. Their faces had to be washed every hour in the day anda bath all over on going to bed. When the little cherubs were asleep I felt ‘relief from worry and care. When Miss Freeman commenced her Kindergarten in the basement of the’ Methodist Church I thought I would see if it possessed the attractiveness for my little ones that I had read it was doing in other places, although I had grave doubts of its accomplishing any good, as I believed that my youngsters were incorrigible.’ But one week after they had been going satisfied me that my ideas were erroneous, and my donbts and fears were all dispelled. There is an attractiveness about it that cannot be explained. Whether it is in the! teacher or in the peculiar style of the manner of education I cannot say ; but Miss Freeman wins the children over to her before they are aware of it. They are charmed with their pleasant surroundings, merry songs, interesting games and pretty work. Nor is it all play forthe children, Unconsciously tothem, hands and mind are being educated, and the training thus received prepares them for more ‘advanced studies., Miss Freeman is eminéently qualified for the position, having taught in one of the. best. Kindergartens in San Francisco.I wish that the mothers of our little ones in Nevada City some afternoon would pay a visit to the school and see for themselves the good this lady is accomplishing, and I hesitate not to say that inside of a month the basement of the Methodist Church would be filled with ‘children, who in place of worrying the life out of their mothers, would be eager to go to the Kindergarten, scarcely taking time to get something to eat. Besides this, mothers, it will make -your children polite, gentle and wellbehaved. . Moruer. The Brunswick Mine.

The best Salve in the world for Cuts, . , A STREAM OF FIRE.The August Meteors—Some Remarks About Them Not Strictly Original. Since Tuesday the world has been passing through a meteoric stream or belt composed of myriads of sniall opaque bodies which are, according to one theory, the debris of*an extinct comet. Another theory is that of Prof. Richard Proctor, who maintains that most of the meteor streams with which the earth comes in contact are derived frown the earth itself; that is,* thrown off by volcanic action at a time when the internal forces of our planet were sufficiently active to give the initial velocity, some twelve miles to a second, requisite to curry them beyond the earth’s attraction. This circle of fragmentury matter is con:posed of material ranging in size from the finest, dust to masses of many tons in wei ht, though not sufficiently large to be visible by the light thBy reflect. Undoubtedly matter exists throughout interplanetary space in a variety of conditions and forms, in single grains and nodules and agglomerations of these smaller particles. Also there are revolving in space individual masses of’ great bulk and weight, though invisible ; when of a discoverable size they constitute what are known as planetoids or asteroids. In the interplanetary spaces there, are not only detached nodules and masses, each revolving in a dependent. orbit and giving rise to sporadic meteors (those seen at any and all seasons), but also connected systems or streams of matter forming rings or zones around the sun. The intersection of the earth’s orbit’ by such rings or streams of scattering meteors accounts for the per.odic showers of. so-called shooting stars. ' oe The August meteors are supposed to disappear today. Their annual occurrence is of sufficient regularity to have been noticed in ancient times, and are spoken of as ‘‘the fiery tears of St. Lawrence,’’ whose-festival occurs August 10th. In moving through its orbit the earth passes through several streams or rings of the little planets, which blaze out as shooting stars when they come in contact with ‘our atmosphere. The most notable of the zones are passed through November 12th and 13th, and October 18th, 19th and’ 20th. The rings of Saturn. are probably streams of the same little bodies that come into the atmosphere of the earth as ‘‘shooting stars,’”’ and sometimes reach the ground as serolites. A Former.Nevada Countyan. Matthew Gill, whose body was found on Wednesday last on the beach near the Cliff House at San Francisco, was a resident of Nevada City from 1855 till 1859. In the latter year: he moved to North San Juan and became a partner with John T. Morgan in the lacksmith business, remaining there till 1864 where he went with the crowd to Reese River. On his return hé-again located at Nevada City remaining for several years. After leaving here he was located for atime at Dayton, Nevada, and subsequently located permanently in San Francisco where he resided up to the time of his death. He was a native of New Castle, England. He was aman of good traits, a kind and sympathising friend. He had a wifé, but no children, and is supposed to. have been in gooil circumstances financially. . There are still living here many old settlers who will remember Matt. Gill, as he was familiarly called, with much _ kindly feeling. He came to this State from Australia in 1853 or 1854, having gone to the latter country from New York when the gcld excitement broke out there in 1852. s a. od ; The Pioneer Miners. The new society known as the Pioneer Miners held its first election at San Francisco a few days ago, and J. C. Broderick, formerly of this county, was chosen as one of the Vice Presidente. The’ principal object of the association, as stated in the constitution, are to cultivate social intercouse, renew the friendship and recollections of‘early days, create. a fund for charitable purposes in behalf of its members, form a library and cabinet, and’ te: collect and preserve information connected with the early settlement

and subsequent, history of the county. A person must have resided in California prior to the 1st day of Jannary. 1860, and in a mining district thereof during a period of six months to be eligible to membership. Painless Regulation. It is no longer-a question of doubt— although the contrary was once be‘ieved—that. medicines which produce violent effects are unsuited to other than desperate emergencies. In other words, that super-potent remedies are calculated to weaken aud injure the system rather than reform its irregularities. Among medicines of debilitating. effect are cathartics and cholagogues which copiously and abruptly evacuate the bowels, Because it does not do this, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is preferable to the drenching class of purgatives. Painless in its effect, it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic constipation. It relieves by invigorating the intestines, and enables, not forces, them to angers the duty imposed upon them by nature. » Promoting the secretion of bile in normal quanties by its healthful stimulating effect upon the live:, it is eminently conductive to digestion, and contributes in no small degree to keep the bowels regular.

A correspondent of the Tidings suggests that the public keep a close watch on.the Cominittee appointed by the Supervisors to spend the appropriation of $1000 for exhibits at the State and Mechanics’ Institute Fairs. The Supervisors had= contidence that the committee would endeavor to make a judicious use of the money committed to its care, without an attempt to “grind axes’ for any one. The Supervisors wold never have thought it safe to appoint such individuals as the correspondent, as they certainly would have needed watchiag to preve t them from. yreasingtheir own paling with the money. People who are so full of suspicion towards their fellows, are not themselves safe depositories of any public or private trust.—Grass Valley Union. Evidently the Union thinks it knows who the ‘‘mud-throwing”’ correspondent, asthe Tidings call him, is. The Nevada City members of the committee appointed by the Supervisors say they are informed as to who he is, and that they think he will hurt himself more than he will-anything else if he is only given enough rope. ———2 2@eo— The County Assessment. _ The County Auditor has footed up the assessment roll after changes made by the Board of Equalization, and the results are as follows: City and town lots, $336,720 ; improvements thereon, $1,070,625.
