This » township alone is over $20,000 behind. The entertainment to be given under the auspices of Geo. Watson on . the 29th instant, will undoubtedly be a grand success. Everybody is anxious to see the 4-lamp electric light tower erected, and will therefore buy tickets for the entertainment to ensure : its success. The building of the tourists’ hotel and the electric road between Nevada ; City and Grass Valley has not been ' abandoned as some people seem to . think. The only reason why steps . have not been taken in the matter is . the fact that nothing could be ‘gained . by going ahead on either project until . Spring.

Shurtleff leaves next Wednesday for Santa Rosa to be ordained 4 as a deacon of the Episcopal Church, and immediately after his ordination will take charge of the parish composed of Auburn, Wheatland and Folsom.

The ‘‘boom’”’ whe was started so very prematurely in some of the lower couaties of this State seems to have died a natural death and the business of dealing in land is now confined more closely to actual purchase for either investment or speculation. At the present time residents of the various counties in the State are devising and adopting various methods of inducing immigration to their respective localities, because an increase of industrious population means an increase of business profits and an increase of land values. Boards of Trade have been organized ina number of the counties to devise ways and means of advertising their respective localities. Those Boards of Trade are usually supported by direct contribution from the business men of the; lace, and while much good is accomplished in thus advertising the State, yet the maintenance of a Board of Trade is quite an expensive undertaking and results ‘in the course of a year in quite a Heaney tax upon its members. In Nevada: county this business of inducing immgration has been managed in a different manner. In the first place,the Transcript and other papers of the county have spared neither time nor expense in publishing to the world the advantages which the county’ offers'to the Henignanit of moderate means, In the second place, instead” of organizing a Board of Trade to impose a monthly assessment on all merchants and business men, a corporation was organized for the purpose of dealing in land and aiding immigrants in selecting and locating on lands suitable to their means and tastes. The-organization was instituted for the express purpose of advertising the resources of the county and promoting its permanent prosperity by encouraging immigration, and yet it was organized on such a basis as to make it not only self sustaining, but also a source of profit to the stockholders. The results already accomplished are of sufficient magnitude to awaken public interest. Upto the present date the Land ‘Association has expended $2,500 in advertising the county’s resources. Among the material sent out were 13,000. of ‘. the Association’s “pamphlets which have heen distributed and mailed to every part of the United States and Canada and to several of the European countries. Also 10,000 copies of “Nevada. County Foothill Fruit Lands,” a neat and creditable paper, devoted exclusively to the fruit interests and resources of the county. In) addition to these, hundreds of copies of extra editions of local papers have’ been mailed to inquirers for land in the northern and’ western States and thousands of circulars and small hand bills are being distributed on the trains to immigrants at various points along the routes of travel to this State. As a result of this advertising, Nevada county, once known only as a mining county, has now a national reputation for the excellence and abundance of its fruits, particularly of its unrivalled Bartlett pears, its peaches and its apaples. TheA ssociation has-already sold to actual settlers over 8,600 acres of land, most!y in small tracts averaging from 80 to 100 acres each, all of which will at an early day be brought under thorough cultivation. It now hason hand nearly 2,500 acres of land which it has purchased at various times and which will be sold to actual purchasers in lots to suit, and is at the present time negotiating for other valuable tracts which will soon pass to its ownership. In addition to the forogoing, bonds and options on various farms, orchards and ranches have been secured on over 17,000 acres of the choicest lands in the county, a large portion of which will undoubtedly be sold within the next three or six months, ‘In advertising these lands and in showing them to intended purchasers the Land Association is doing all the work of an immigration society. The advertising has all been done without expense to either the seller or purchaser. Intending purchasers are taken tothe land and shown over the county without charge, while abstracts are made and titles adjusted at a nominal cost, and often without charge. There are very few of our citizens who realize the vast amount of work which has already been accomplished by this one organization in the way of advertising and settling the county, yet its officers and members are still laboring with undiminished zeal, confident of ultimate success both in the peopling of the cqunty with a desirable population and in the ultimate profits of their several investments. They have already expended upward of $12,000 in this one. enterprise with such good results that they will ‘greatly extend their operations. Indications lead to the belief that the demand for land during the coming season will be much greater than ever before, : Although this is a private corporation working by its own methods, yet . Pe it accomplishes a great public good in doing for immigrants and settlers what could not otherwise be accomplished without a large expense to the community. It is deserving of 'the encouragement: of every citizen who ig intepested in the rapid sale and development of qur lands, hoth ‘in the way of perfecting defective titles, and in encouraging permanent settlement. ee I wave used Ely’s Cream Balm for catarrh in head and have been greatly benefited by a —— Susie Morgan, .

FN ge zene . o’clock will be the dolls mai The Bazar Ente Gatettniniate, A fiir-etaed audience attended the bazar at the Theater Wednesday night, and the program of songs,piano solos and recitations prepared for their edification was a meritorious one. Misses Mary Thomas, Minnie Brand and Carrie Naffziger gave instrumental selections. The singers were Miss Addie Boardman, Mrs. J. E. Brown, Miss Emma Schemer, Miss Bertha McCutchan, Mrs. H. G. Parsons and John Werry. Mrs. H. B. Maxfield and Geo. A. Watson delivered recitations. All of the ladies and gentlemen distinguished themselves by the excellence of their performances. Jobn T. Shurtleff, who acted as stage manger, made a neat address preliminary to the program. The numerous booths were very attractive, vivacious ladies in charming pink costumes being in charge of them and doing a thriving business. Pink was the predominating color in the decorations, and the fancies carried out with its aid were decidedly attractive.

Williams’ term as_postmaster at this city will expire on Tuesday next, but there is no probability of his being turned out into the cold on that day. Prsident Cleveland has not up to yesterday named his successor so far as is known here, and it will take the new Nasby at least three weeks after being selected to qualify and enter upon a discharge of his duties. Perhaps Cleveland has come to the conclusion that there are so many first-class Democrats after the place that it is too delicate a matter to choose between them, and that he will avoid the possibility of making « mistake by simply forgetting to bounce Mr. Williams. Mr. Cleveland is a very smart man sometimes. That’s All Right. A Chinaman informed a. citizen yesterday that ‘‘he sell out flew weeks; go back to China. My cluzzin he come next steamer; he takee my place.’ ‘‘Has your cousin ever been in this country?’ asked the citizen. “No,’”’ said the Chinaman. ‘Well, he can’t be landed here undér the law,”’ continued the citizen, whereupon the Celestial immediately replied, ‘‘That’s al light, me buy certifikit, and send him. He be here al light next week orso.”’ Soit seems that here in the mountains the Chinese are well posted on buying fraudulent certificates which are being so much talked about in San Francisco at the present time. He Got the Beer. Afew days ago a man went to one of the breweries in this city and asked for a jug of beer. The proprietor having doubts about the man having 50 cents, said, ‘All right; where is your money ?”’ The man said he would pay him some other time. ‘Go and get the money then you can have the beer,”’ said the proprietor. The man went away and returned in a short time with 50 cents and got the beer. The proprietor on going home related the circumstance to his wife, when she replied, ‘‘Why, that man came and got 50 cents of me!’”’ The proprietor tookthe matter asa pretty good joke on himself. A Wife's Devotion. A scoundrel by the name of Harper, aconvicted bank wrecker, aman who had robbed and ruined the widow and the orphan, has fortunately been convi¢ted in Cincinnati and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. The following scene happened after the sentence : Harper sat down, and turning to his wife their lips met. Her hands were around his neck. His arms encompassed her, The silence in the Courtroom was awful. The jurors wept and women and men all over the Courtroom were in tears. The Sacramento Bee comments thus on,the happening: We have sympathy for the noble-hearted woman who stood by her husband to the last. She would have been less than wife had she not done so, But it nauseates us overmuch to read that the jurors wept over the fate of this thief, and men and women were in tears all over the Court-room. They would have done much better had they-kept their sympathy for the dependent and helpless, whose little all may have been stolen by this unhung rascal.

If such is the object a dose of tar.and feathers or a good strong rope ought to be used on the men who act as spies. A man must be hard pushed for a job when he accepts a position to do such work.

This » township alone is over $20,000 behind. The entertainment to be given under the auspices of Geo. Watson on . the 29th instant, will undoubtedly be a grand success.

The building of the tourists’ hotel and the electric road between Nevada ; City and Grass Valley has not been ' abandoned as some people seem to . think.

The ‘‘boom’”’ whe was started so very prematurely in some of the lower couaties of this State seems to have died a natural death and the business of dealing in land is now confined more closely to actual purchase for either investment or speculation. At the present time residents of the various counties in the State are devising and adopting various methods of inducing immigration to their respective localities, because an increase of industrious population means an increase of business profits and an increase of land values. Boards of Trade have been organized ina number of the counties to devise ways and means of advertising their respective localities. Those Boards of Trade are usually supported by direct contribution from the business men of the; lace, and while much good is accomplished in thus advertising the State, yet the maintenance of a Board of Trade is quite an expensive undertaking and results ‘in the course of a year in quite a Heaney tax upon its members. In Nevada: county this business of inducing immgration has been managed in a different manner. In the first place,the Transcript and other papers of the county have spared neither time nor expense in publishing to the world the advantages which the county’ offers'to the Henignanit of moderate means, In the second place, instead” of organizing a Board of Trade to impose a monthly assessment on all merchants and business men, a corporation was organized for the purpose of dealing in land and aiding immigrants in selecting and locating on lands suitable to their means and tastes. The-organization was instituted for the express purpose of advertising the resources of the county and promoting its permanent prosperity by encouraging immigration, and yet it was organized on such a basis as to make it not only self sustaining, but also a source of profit to the stockholders. The results already accomplished are of sufficient magnitude to awaken public interest. Upto the present date the Land ‘Association has expended $2,500 in advertising the county’s resources. Among the material sent out were 13,000. of ‘. the Association’s “pamphlets which have heen distributed and mailed to every part of the United States and Canada and to several of the European countries. Also 10,000 copies of “Nevada. County Foothill Fruit Lands,” a neat and creditable paper, devoted exclusively to the fruit interests and resources of the county. In) addition to these, hundreds of copies of extra editions of local papers have’ been mailed to inquirers for land in the northern and’ western States and thousands of circulars and small hand bills are being distributed on the trains to immigrants at various points along the routes of travel to this State. As a result of this advertising, Nevada county, once known only as a mining county, has now a national reputation for the excellence and abundance of its fruits, particularly of its unrivalled Bartlett pears, its peaches and its apaples. TheA ssociation has-already sold to actual settlers over 8,600 acres of land, most!y in small tracts averaging from 80 to 100 acres each, all of which will at an early day be brought under thorough cultivation. It now hason hand nearly 2,500 acres of land which it has purchased at various times and which will be sold to actual purchasers in lots to suit, and is at the present time negotiating for other valuable tracts which will soon pass to its ownership. In addition to the forogoing, bonds and options on various farms, orchards and ranches have been secured on over 17,000 acres of the choicest lands in the county, a large portion of which will undoubtedly be sold within the next three or six months, ‘In advertising these lands and in showing them to intended purchasers the Land Association is doing all the work of an immigration society. The advertising has all been done without expense to either the seller or purchaser. Intending purchasers are taken tothe land and shown over the county without charge, while abstracts are made and titles adjusted at a nominal cost, and often without charge. There are very few of our citizens who realize the vast amount of work which has already been accomplished by this one organization in the way of advertising and settling the county, yet its officers and members are still laboring with undiminished zeal, confident of ultimate success both in the peopling of the cqunty with a desirable population and in the ultimate profits of their several investments. They have already expended upward of $12,000 in this one. enterprise with such good results that they will ‘greatly extend their operations. Indications lead to the belief that the demand for land during the coming season will be much greater than ever before, : Although this is a private corporation working by its own methods, yet . Pe it accomplishes a great public good in doing for immigrants and settlers what could not otherwise be accomplished without a large expense to the community. It is deserving of 'the encouragement: of every citizen who ig intepested in the rapid sale and development of qur lands, hoth ‘in the way of perfecting defective titles, and in encouraging permanent settlement. ee I wave used Ely’s Cream Balm for catarrh in head and have been greatly benefited by a —— Susie Morgan, .

Misses Mary Thomas, Minnie Brand and Carrie Naffziger gave instrumental selections. The singers were Miss Addie Boardman, Mrs. J. E. Brown, Miss Emma Schemer, Miss Bertha McCutchan, Mrs. H. G. Parsons and John Werry. Mrs. H. B. Maxfield and Geo. A. Watson delivered recitations. All of the ladies and gentlemen distinguished themselves by the excellence of their performances. Jobn T. Shurtleff, who acted as stage manger, made a neat address preliminary to the program. The numerous booths were very attractive, vivacious ladies in charming pink costumes being in charge of them and doing a thriving business. Pink was the predominating color in the decorations, and the fancies carried out with its aid were decidedly attractive.

Williams’ term as_postmaster at this city will expire on Tuesday next, but there is no probability of his being turned out into the cold on that day. Prsident Cleveland has not up to yesterday named his successor so far as is known here, and it will take the new Nasby at least three weeks after being selected to qualify and enter upon a discharge of his duties. Perhaps Cleveland has come to the conclusion that there are so many first-class Democrats after the place that it is too delicate a matter to choose between them, and that he will avoid the possibility of making « mistake by simply forgetting to bounce Mr. Williams. Mr. Cleveland is a very smart man sometimes. That’s All Right. A Chinaman informed a. citizen yesterday that ‘‘he sell out flew weeks; go back to China. My cluzzin he come next steamer; he takee my place.’ ‘‘Has your cousin ever been in this country?’ asked the citizen. “No,’”’ said the Chinaman. ‘Well, he can’t be landed here undér the law,”’ continued the citizen, whereupon the Celestial immediately replied, ‘‘That’s al light, me buy certifikit, and send him. He be here al light next week orso.”’ Soit seems that here in the mountains the Chinese are well posted on buying fraudulent certificates which are being so much talked about in San Francisco at the present time. He Got the Beer. Afew days ago a man went to one of the breweries in this city and asked for a jug of beer. The proprietor having doubts about the man having 50 cents, said, ‘All right; where is your money ?”’ The man said he would pay him some other time. ‘Go and get the money then you can have the beer,”’ said the proprietor. The man went away and returned in a short time with 50 cents and got the beer. The proprietor on going home related the circumstance to his wife, when she replied, ‘‘Why, that man came and got 50 cents of me!’”’ The proprietor tookthe matter asa pretty good joke on himself. A Wife's Devotion. A scoundrel by the name of Harper, aconvicted bank wrecker, aman who had robbed and ruined the widow and the orphan, has fortunately been convi¢ted in Cincinnati and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. The following scene happened after the sentence : Harper sat down, and turning to his wife their lips met. Her hands were around his neck. His arms encompassed her, The silence in the Courtroom was awful. The jurors wept and women and men all over the Courtroom were in tears. The Sacramento Bee comments thus on,the happening: We have sympathy for the noble-hearted woman who stood by her husband to the last. She would have been less than wife had she not done so, But it nauseates us overmuch to read that the jurors wept over the fate of this thief, and men and women were in tears all over the Court-room. They would have done much better had they-kept their sympathy for the dependent and helpless, whose little all may have been stolen by this unhung rascal.
