A green Christmas makes. a full graveyard, they do say, The closing exercises in the public schools this afternoon will be unusually intere-ting. The drama of ‘‘Dora”’ tells a tale of a century ago. . The costumes fur the production have been ordered from San Francisco: The gross receipts of the Trinity Society’s bazar last week amounted to over $500 and the profits will approximate $300. ° : While localities near the coast are ensbrouded in fog, the atmosphere here is a8 pure and clear as the brightest sunlight can make it. Those ladies who sent dishes with cake, ete., to the. bazar last. week can get the same Ly calling at the residence of Mrs. A. Gault. Thomas Hawk, by his attorney, W. P. Sowden, has begun. suit in the ’ Superior Court to recover $311.50 alleged to te due from the Nevada City Mining Company for labor performed. A ‘program of Christmas exercises was given yesterday afternoon by the pupils of Mrs,-Sarah Logan’s kindergarten on Water street. The little folks acquitted themsel vgs most creditably. : : A pioneer settler says: “Judge Roberts of ‘Grass Valley is correct i his statement of the Gallagher-Endicott shrievalties in the early fifties, excepting that Gallagher did not re-. sign. He went to Illinois, ostensibly on a visit, and never returned here.”’ The San Francisco mail now arrives at this city at 11:30 a. M.and 9:33 Pp. mM. The Eastern mail arrives at 11:30 4.M. The train reaching here at 4:05 P.M. brings no mail,although it shoul). The postal department ought to make an arrangement by which it. will bring the papers and letters that do not now get here till five hours later. A Cold Biooded Joke. babseasies. Actor a Marysville man sent George F. Jacobs of this city @ tine, fat Christmas turkey and that gentleman put it in the box-office at the Theatre for safe-keeping. Some of the theatrical folks found it ther& late in the evening fnd resolyed to have some fun. They put the bird up at raffle, and not only bought chances themselves but permitted several citizens to stand in so as to make the proceedings more sociable. The winning number was held by a’ county official, and after treating all hands he took the turkey home in triumph. At last accounts he had it stored away in his cellar under lock and key, and Manager Jacobs was industriously endeav-. oring to figure out some quiet plan for. its recovery. THE LATEST. Since the above was written the disputed turkey disappeared mysteri-ously from its hiding place, and the official who won it is seeking a clue to to the purloiner against whom he Wears vengeance. The Electric Light Benefit. Daily rehearsals are being -held for the performance of ‘‘Dora”’ to be given at the Theater next Thursday evening for the benefit of the electric light tower fund, and judging from the manner in which the members take hold ‘of their respective parts the entertainment will compare favorably with any ever given here. The attraction of the cast will of course be Mr. Watson as “‘Farmer Allan,” a characterization in which he has won laurels in the leading theaters of the eastern cities. The play is one of the strongest in any language, and the story hinted at in Tennyson’s .poem of the same name is told with a pathos and vividness that isentrancing. It is somewhat in the strain of ‘‘Hazel Kirke,” but aff rds much wider scope for the leading part. Tickets for the entertainment will be offered for sale next week. —0-2@e-o——_ Scarcity of Water. The late snowstorm in the* mountains fell on dry ground, hence the melting of the deposit fails to furnish any water for the mining companies reservoirs which are lower than they have been before in years. The bottom of Lake Bowman shows in many places, and the Bloomfield Company have been obliged to discontinue working their claim by the elevator process till another storm comes. They have temporarily laid off most of their men, a few being kept at scraping bedreck. Just enough water is coming through .their ditch to supply the Derbec, Last Chance and Mabel drift mines, but if.there is not a marked change in the weather soon they too will haye to shut down, : ’ There will be a turkey shoot at the Rifle Greands this afternoon. lt Braumpun diamonds ac.

Davis, a gentleman well informed on the culture of citrus fruits doth in America and Europe, is visiting San Faancisco, and during an interview made 'the following interesting and valuable statements-to a reporter of the Alta: “The citrus family holds a high positition among California cultivated fruit,” said.Mr. Davis, ‘‘and it is also Popular in every country where it is successfully grown. Its popularity is not to be wondered at, as the fruit of some of the species is in general use throughout the civilized world. No other kind of fruit in its natural ‘state is so valuable for commercial purposes as the orange and lemon. Fruit of this family will keep on the trees after it is ripe for a longer period than any other kind, and it will bear carriage better. It is also less liable to injury from storms and changes of weather than most other fruits, and owing to the thickness’ of the rind and the aromatic oil it.contains it suffers less from the attacks of birds and insects, Oranges are more or less in season all the year round, and no other fruit has the same advantages in this respect. Trees of the citrus family also yield large and certain crops, as a rule, in comparison with other fruits. “The various useful species of the citrus family. are supposed to have originated in China and Central Asia and to have been taken to Syria by . Arabs. No species seems to have been known to the ancient Hebrews, Egyptains, Greeks or Romans, as they are not mentioned by the writers of these nations. Their introduction into Europe is generally credited to the returning Crusaders from ‘Palestine in the fourteenth century,.though it is said: that in Spain there are trees over six hundred years old. In all the countries of southern Europe possessing a congenial climate. for its cultivation the orange, soon after its introduction, became a popular fruit. At the present day in Spain, Portugal, Italy,Greece and the south of France orangegrowing is a prominent. industry, as it is also in the Azores islands. ~ “The orange and several other species of the family thrive remarkably well in California, and the trees attain a size and give returns quite equal to -the-_best. European—standard.--San‘Bernardino, Los Angeles, Placer and Butte counties ure famous for their orangeries, and the area under cultivation is rapidly increasing. Large quantities of fruit are produced in these and other district. The growers are not only able to supply the local demand, but also do a large export trade with neighboring States and the East. Though citrus fruits are mainly cultivated in Southern California, there is no reason why they should not be successfully grown in many other parts of the State. When the climate and soil are not absolutely uncongenial there ought to be no great difficulty in cultivating the orange successfully, providing that its wants are duly attended to. Trees of the citrus family are not as delicate as is generally supposed, and they may be profitably cultivated under various conditions of soil and climate. They will stand a considerable amount of heat and some degree of frosts with impunity. When carefully cultivated and growing in a congenial soil and situation the trees wilkoften attain a great size and age. There are in Spain and Italy bearing trees whose ages are said to range from 150 to 200 years, and they are still healthy and vigorous. “The wants of this family are peculiar and differ to some extent from those of other fruit trees. The chief cause of non-success in orange culture is not so much due to the effects of soil and climate as carelessness or ignorance in the treatment of the trees. When not carefully attended to and supplied with proper nourishment trees must necessarily begin to fail when comparatively young. When this occurs the cultivator, generally blames either the climate soil, season, or inrects; instead of ascribing the failure to the true cause—neglect and starvation. The essential conditions forthe successful cultivation of trees of the orange family are: First, suitable locality and soil; second, the ground must be properly prepared ; third, shelter must be provided : fourth, the trees must be healthy when planted; fifth, the trees must be regularly supplied with congenial food; sixth, the roots should be disturbed as little as possible ; seventh, the ground must be kept free from weeds and undergrowths. “‘The most congenial soil is a strong sandy loam, with a gravelly or loose subs»il. The most favorable site for an orange orchard is a gentle slope, with an aspect between north and east, so that the trees will get the benefit of the morning sun. Intending planters, however, are not always ‘. ima position to make the best choice of soil site, and must make the most of circumstances. Trees will do very well in any ordinary good soil of fair depth, and on any site which is not too wet orexposed. Low-lying land, where the temperature is often very low in the winter and spring, where fogs are heavy and frequent, and the sides of bleak hills, should be equally avoided as a rul>. In preparing for orange trees it is advisable to break up the ground to the depth of from eighteen inches to twenty-four inches when circumstances will permit, The soil . should also be thoroughly broken and well mixed,as a fine tilth is grateful to the roots of the orange famfly. Trenching with the shape is by far the most effective way of preparing the ground ; but the work can be done more quickly and economically hy the use of the lad ek. plow and subsoiler. A good depth of well-worked soil gives the trees plenty of nourishment, and places them in the best position to withstand the effects of dry weather. It is not advisable, however, in preparing the ground to turn up inuch of a bad sub. < soil, and where this exists cultivators should simp’y stir and break it to the depth of a few inches, leaving it in the Same position as before. “Perfect drainage is essential in the cultivation of the orange family, as the trees cannot thrive when water is stagnating at their roots. Due provision for effective drainage should always be made when the ground is pre pared. In light soils, on sloping ground, when the subso'l is open, there will often be sufficient drainage naturally. When, however, the soil is is heavy and retentive, or on flat ground, the cultivator should always provide for effective drainage. Shelter from bleak winds is necessary to the orange and no trees suffer more by exposure, both as regards their health and the quality of their fruit. -In exposed situations the trees have a tendency to produce thick-skinned fruit deficient in juiciness and flavor,ind the product of the choicest. varieties is’ sometimes so altered in character as not to be revognized easily. When there is no shelter naturally,cultivators should always make provision for it by planting belts or lines of quickgrowing trees to serve as break-winds. There are many quick-growing, densefoilaged trees which will answer the purpose. Care must, however, be taken that the roots of these breakwinds do not interfere with those of the orange trees. Tlie value of effective shelter is fully appreciated by European cultivators, and invariably provided for. At St. Michael, one of the Azores islands, where orangegrowing is the staple industry, the cultivators .commonly shelter their trees from the bleak winds which sweep over the Atlantic by means of stone walls from twelve to twenty feet high.” The Wilber ¢ Company. The Wilber Company continues to draw fair sized audiences, but owing to the lowness of the prices of admission and the number of people employed it is difficult for the average observer tosee where their profits come in. Thisis however the business of no one outside of the troupe, and as the proprietors have been conducting similar shows for several years in the east, and have swelled their bank ac= count considerably by the operation, they apparently have every reason to be satisfied with themselves and the public. Last night the troupe appeared in “The Streets of New Yor,’ and this evening they will yive ‘The Pliumter's Daughter.” K. of P. Officers Elected.

Bought a Fruit Farm.” Rector Brothers, proprietors of the National Exchange -Hotel, have purchased from. James McDonald 160 acres of rich, red fruit land lying on the ridge a mile and a half in an easterly direction from Town Talk and two miles southeast of this city. The tract is unimproved, but they propose to immediately begin fencing it and planting a large orchard there. A large portion of it lies below the ditch and can be irrigated for clover, alfalfa, etc. rt A Drop in Turkeys. ° A great number of live turkeys were brought to town yesterday, and the supply being greater than the demand they were being offered as low as sixteen cents a pound.

Gaylord’s lw A NARROW ESCAPE, ~ A Nevada City Man's Litee-Sared by a Fortune Teller. omg A prominent business man of this city had a narrow escape of having a pistol ball put into his body one evening last week while in San Francisco, At least that is what be says. Inthe first place we must state that he isa great ladies’ man, and: distikes to go to theatfes or public entertainments without somebody else’s wife, not having one of hisown. While at the Bay he visited a married lady friend in the morning and made an engagement to escort her to the California Theatre in the evening. He felt very happy over the thought of going out with such a pretty lady. In the afternoon of the same day he visited another lady friend who is a fortune-telier. Among other things, good, bad and indifferent, she said: ‘‘This morning you called on a divorced woman and engaged her for the theatre this evening. Now, as you value your own life, break the engagement, for as sure as you take her, just so surely will you be shot dead as soon as the theatre is over, for the husband will be at. the door, revolver in hand.” Our friend was somewhat staggeréd at ‘the announcement, but having no faith in what the j fortune 3 said, made considerable fun over the matter and declared that he would live upto his engagement. The fortune-teller urged him not to dd it, for she strongly asserted that-she knew he would be a dead man if he did. After the sun had gone down, and San Francisco looked its prettiest with its gas, electric and incandescent lights, he took a stroll around the city to fill in time, and while thinking over the matter became convinced that it would not be expedient or safe to take a.divorced woman to the play. So he hurriedly rushed to her house and notified her that business prevented him from complying with the engagement. That evening he concluded to go to the ‘theatre after the performance was over and see if the divof¥ced husband wasthere. He did so, and ‘‘holy horrors,”’ he said, ‘‘the fellow was there, pistol in hand.” —— ——e+ @e + Christmas Beef. Frank Aumer, the veteran cattle buyer, has just supplied the markets of Nevada City and Grass Valley with forty head of as fine Christmas cattle as were ever brought to the mountains. He brought'them from Yuba county; where he has had them fattening for several weeks especially for the Holiday trade. None of them are over three-years-old, and their weight will average from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds each. A visit to the meat markets of the city will repay those who like to louk at young, plump, fine and at cattle. Fire at Grass Valley. Early ‘yesterday morning a brick building at Boston Ravine belonging to Frank Kearney, and which was being fitted up as a boarding house, was destroyed by fire. The roof of the old Martin Ford building, adjoining, wasalso burned. Card of Thanks.

Win. H. Endicott, his UnderSheriff, served as such until the office was declared vatant, when he (Endicott) was appointed Sheriff and served during the remainder of the term. At the September election of 1852. Endicott was elected Sheriff for two years from May 28th, 1853. In September, 1854, Boss Wright was elected for the term commencing May 28th, 1855.

Actor a Marysville man sent George F. Jacobs of this city @ tine, fat Christmas turkey and that gentleman put it in the box-office at the Theatre for safe-keeping. Some of the theatrical folks found it ther& late in the evening fnd resolyed to have some fun. They put the bird up at raffle, and not only bought chances themselves but permitted several citizens to stand in so as to make the proceedings more sociable. The winning number was held by a’ county official, and after treating all hands he took the turkey home in triumph. At last accounts he had it stored away in his cellar under lock and key, and Manager Jacobs was industriously endeav-. oring to figure out some quiet plan for. its recovery. THE LATEST. Since the above was written the disputed turkey disappeared mysteri-ously from its hiding place, and the official who won it is seeking a clue to to the purloiner against whom he Wears vengeance. The Electric Light Benefit. Daily rehearsals are being -held for the performance of ‘‘Dora”’ to be given at the Theater next Thursday evening for the benefit of the electric light tower fund, and judging from the manner in which the members take hold ‘of their respective parts the entertainment will compare favorably with any ever given here. The attraction of the cast will of course be Mr. Watson as “‘Farmer Allan,” a characterization in which he has won laurels in the leading theaters of the eastern cities. The play is one of the strongest in any language, and the story hinted at in Tennyson’s .poem of the same name is told with a pathos and vividness that isentrancing. It is somewhat in the strain of ‘‘Hazel Kirke,” but aff rds much wider scope for the leading part. Tickets for the entertainment will be offered for sale next week. —0-2@e-o——_ Scarcity of Water.

They have temporarily laid off most of their men, a few being kept at scraping bedreck.

Davis, a gentleman well informed on the culture of citrus fruits doth in America and Europe, is visiting San Faancisco, and during an interview made 'the following interesting and valuable statements-to a reporter of the Alta: “The citrus family holds a high positition among California cultivated fruit,” said.Mr. Davis, ‘‘and it is also Popular in every country where it is successfully grown. Its popularity is not to be wondered at, as the fruit of some of the species is in general use throughout the civilized world. No other kind of fruit in its natural ‘state is so valuable for commercial purposes as the orange and lemon. Fruit of this family will keep on the trees after it is ripe for a longer period than any other kind, and it will bear carriage better. It is also less liable to injury from storms and changes of weather than most other fruits, and owing to the thickness’ of the rind and the aromatic oil it.contains it suffers less from the attacks of birds and insects, Oranges are more or less in season all the year round, and no other fruit has the same advantages in this respect. Trees of the citrus family also yield large and certain crops, as a rule, in comparison with other fruits. “The various useful species of the citrus family. are supposed to have originated in China and Central Asia and to have been taken to Syria by . Arabs. No species seems to have been known to the ancient Hebrews, Egyptains, Greeks or Romans, as they are not mentioned by the writers of these nations. Their introduction into Europe is generally credited to the returning Crusaders from ‘Palestine in the fourteenth century,.though it is said: that in Spain there are trees over six hundred years old. In all the countries of southern Europe possessing a congenial climate. for its cultivation the orange, soon after its introduction, became a popular fruit. At the present day in Spain, Portugal, Italy,Greece and the south of France orangegrowing is a prominent. industry, as it is also in the Azores islands. ~ “The orange and several other species of the family thrive remarkably well in California, and the trees attain a size and give returns quite equal to -the-_best. European—standard.--San‘Bernardino, Los Angeles, Placer and Butte counties ure famous for their orangeries, and the area under cultivation is rapidly increasing. Large quantities of fruit are produced in these and other district. The growers are not only able to supply the local demand, but also do a large export trade with neighboring States and the East. Though citrus fruits are mainly cultivated in Southern California, there is no reason why they should not be successfully grown in many other parts of the State. When the climate and soil are not absolutely uncongenial there ought to be no great difficulty in cultivating the orange successfully, providing that its wants are duly attended to. Trees of the citrus family are not as delicate as is generally supposed, and they may be profitably cultivated under various conditions of soil and climate. They will stand a considerable amount of heat and some degree of frosts with impunity. When carefully cultivated and growing in a congenial soil and situation the trees wilkoften attain a great size and age. There are in Spain and Italy bearing trees whose ages are said to range from 150 to 200 years, and they are still healthy and vigorous. “The wants of this family are peculiar and differ to some extent from those of other fruit trees. The chief cause of non-success in orange culture is not so much due to the effects of soil and climate as carelessness or ignorance in the treatment of the trees. When not carefully attended to and supplied with proper nourishment trees must necessarily begin to fail when comparatively young. When this occurs the cultivator, generally blames either the climate soil, season, or inrects; instead of ascribing the failure to the true cause—neglect and starvation. The essential conditions forthe successful cultivation of trees of the orange family are: First, suitable locality and soil; second, the ground must be properly prepared ; third, shelter must be provided : fourth, the trees must be healthy when planted; fifth, the trees must be regularly supplied with congenial food; sixth, the roots should be disturbed as little as possible ; seventh, the ground must be kept free from weeds and undergrowths. “‘The most congenial soil is a strong sandy loam, with a gravelly or loose subs»il. The most favorable site for an orange orchard is a gentle slope, with an aspect between north and east, so that the trees will get the benefit of the morning sun. Intending planters, however, are not always ‘. ima position to make the best choice of soil site, and must make the most of circumstances. Trees will do very well in any ordinary good soil of fair depth, and on any site which is not too wet orexposed. Low-lying land, where the temperature is often very low in the winter and spring, where fogs are heavy and frequent, and the sides of bleak hills, should be equally avoided as a rul>. In preparing for orange trees it is advisable to break up the ground to the depth of from eighteen inches to twenty-four inches when circumstances will permit, The soil . should also be thoroughly broken and well mixed,as a fine tilth is grateful to the roots of the orange famfly. Trenching with the shape is by far the most effective way of preparing the ground ; but the work can be done more quickly and economically hy the use of the lad ek. plow and subsoiler. A good depth of well-worked soil gives the trees plenty of nourishment, and places them in the best position to withstand the effects of dry weather. It is not advisable, however, in preparing the ground to turn up inuch of a bad sub. < soil, and where this exists cultivators should simp’y stir and break it to the depth of a few inches, leaving it in the Same position as before. “Perfect drainage is essential in the cultivation of the orange family, as the trees cannot thrive when water is stagnating at their roots. Due provision for effective drainage should always be made when the ground is pre pared. In light soils, on sloping ground, when the subso'l is open, there will often be sufficient drainage naturally. When, however, the soil is is heavy and retentive, or on flat ground, the cultivator should always provide for effective drainage. Shelter from bleak winds is necessary to the orange and no trees suffer more by exposure, both as regards their health and the quality of their fruit. -In exposed situations the trees have a tendency to produce thick-skinned fruit deficient in juiciness and flavor,ind the product of the choicest. varieties is’ sometimes so altered in character as not to be revognized easily. When there is no shelter naturally,cultivators should always make provision for it by planting belts or lines of quickgrowing trees to serve as break-winds. There are many quick-growing, densefoilaged trees which will answer the purpose. Care must, however, be taken that the roots of these breakwinds do not interfere with those of the orange trees. Tlie value of effective shelter is fully appreciated by European cultivators, and invariably provided for. At St. Michael, one of the Azores islands, where orangegrowing is the staple industry, the cultivators .commonly shelter their trees from the bleak winds which sweep over the Atlantic by means of stone walls from twelve to twenty feet high.” The Wilber ¢ Company. The Wilber Company continues to draw fair sized audiences, but owing to the lowness of the prices of admission and the number of people employed it is difficult for the average observer tosee where their profits come in. Thisis however the business of no one outside of the troupe, and as the proprietors have been conducting similar shows for several years in the east, and have swelled their bank ac= count considerably by the operation, they apparently have every reason to be satisfied with themselves and the public. Last night the troupe appeared in “The Streets of New Yor,’ and this evening they will yive ‘The Pliumter's Daughter.” K. of P. Officers Elected.

Gaylord’s lw A NARROW ESCAPE, ~ A Nevada City Man's Litee-Sared by a Fortune Teller. omg A prominent business man of this city had a narrow escape of having a pistol ball put into his body one evening last week while in San Francisco, At least that is what be says. Inthe first place we must state that he isa great ladies’ man, and: distikes to go to theatfes or public entertainments without somebody else’s wife, not having one of hisown. While at the Bay he visited a married lady friend in the morning and made an engagement to escort her to the California Theatre in the evening. He felt very happy over the thought of going out with such a pretty lady. In the afternoon of the same day he visited another lady friend who is a fortune-telier. Among other things, good, bad and indifferent, she said: ‘‘This morning you called on a divorced woman and engaged her for the theatre this evening. Now, as you value your own life, break the engagement, for as sure as you take her, just so surely will you be shot dead as soon as the theatre is over, for the husband will be at. the door, revolver in hand.” Our friend was somewhat staggeréd at ‘the announcement, but having no faith in what the j fortune 3 said, made considerable fun over the matter and declared that he would live upto his engagement. The fortune-teller urged him not to dd it, for she strongly asserted that-she knew he would be a dead man if he did. After the sun had gone down, and San Francisco looked its prettiest with its gas, electric and incandescent lights, he took a stroll around the city to fill in time, and while thinking over the matter became convinced that it would not be expedient or safe to take a.divorced woman to the play. So he hurriedly rushed to her house and notified her that business prevented him from complying with the engagement. That evening he concluded to go to the ‘theatre after the performance was over and see if the divof¥ced husband wasthere. He did so, and ‘‘holy horrors,”’ he said, ‘‘the fellow was there, pistol in hand.” —— ——e+ @e + Christmas Beef.

Frank Aumer, the veteran cattle buyer, has just supplied the markets of Nevada City and Grass Valley with forty head of as fine Christmas cattle as were ever brought to the mountains. He brought'them from Yuba county; where he has had them fattening for several weeks especially for the Holiday trade. None of them are over three-years-old, and their weight will average from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds each. A visit to the meat markets of the city will repay those who like to louk at young, plump, fine and at cattle. Fire at Grass Valley.
