The weather continnes to be lovely. The schools closed yesterday for a two weeks vacation. The Lone Jack Mine, at Grass Valley, was started up yesterday. The mining prospects hereabouts will be much betterin a few weeks. Lands are cheaper in this section than in any other portion of the State. But few more days left in which to do assessment work on mining claims. It is now near the close of the year, and all who owe the printer should pav up. Three trains a day between Nevada City and San Francisco—6 and 11:30 a. M. and 5:10-p. m. Peruse the advertising columns of the Transcripr before making your Holiday purchases. Some fine looking quartz is being taken out of the Neversweat mine at Willow Valley. A bundle in hand is worth two on the Christmas-tree, according to the child’s philosophy. The Holiday trade is panning out much better than was expected by some of our loca) dealers. Half of the world is ignorant of what the other half isdoing just now. Reason—Christmas is coming. If you want to get good bargains in landcallon the agent of the Nevada County Land Association, on Broad street. The Centennial Gravel Mining Company has levied an assessment of three cents per share. This is the 33d one. The Nevada County mine is looking very welland improving as,the work progresses. It’ will*be a big mine in the near future. Nevada county lands are in good demand, Every day there are new comers here in ‘search of improved and unimproved lads. Pay your taxes today. The Treusurers office will be closed up on Monday, and Tuesday will be the last day to settle without costs. — If you will notice it, the grandest opportunities for making money are always open to the man who never had a cent he could call his.own. Buy. land while it_is_cheap, if you want to get rich in a year or so. If you don’t want be rich don’t buy land The subscribers ofthe Grass Valley papers in this city are wondering why they do not get their papers here by the 9:33 p. M. train instead of the following day at 11:05 .4. M. Several of the owners of the El Dorado mine, near the Delhi, who reside -in this city, were highly elated yesterday on learning that‘a fine two-foot ledge was struck in the claim yesterday. Gaylord & Searls, the well known lawyers, must be making money. That is, we judge so, from the fact that yesterday they had all the furniture and books removed from their offices, and are having the inside of the building fixed up in gay style, new carpets, etc. Yesterday was a holiday for Gaass Valley. It was Donation Day, and not only the school children but the merchants of that town took a lively interest in the matter. This custom was inaugurated at that town in the interest of charity and each . ’ year seems to be more successful than the previous one. A very large force of men are at work at the Chicago Park, in clearing the land, burning, brush, etc. The saw mill near that place is kept running night and day in getting out lumber for the new hotel, school house, church and other buildings which will be erected there as soon as the weather will permit. ~ Theater This Afternoon and Evening. The Wilber Company have been playing at the Theatre this week to good-sized audiences and have given the best of satisfaction. This. afternoon the company will give a matinee and produce the play of ‘‘Fanchon.” During the afternoon, a beautiful wax doll will be presented to the person holding the lucky number, a ticket being given to everyone attending. This evening the Company give their farewell performance, and will produce the well-known play of ‘‘East Lynne.” A gold watch will be given as a prize on this occasion.

Instead of finding the place filled with customers ‘y the Treasurer and his Deputy had really nothing to do, only now and then a taxpayer making his appearance. / From present. indications the delinquent list will be unusually large this year, for only about one-half of the taxes had been paid up to yester/ de y eheencan. sept ze © ‘Tarkey Sheoting, .

CALIFORNIA'S BOOM. ns The Fresent Great Rush of People to the Pacific Coast. = A ‘telegram from New-York says: The Tribune printsa letter from A. N. Towne, General Manager of the Southern Pacific Company, concerning the influx of population and growth of business. ‘T':e letter, which is dated San Fraacisco, December 12th, says: “There is, I think, a greater incoming of people than has ever been known in any State or Territory of the Union before. Of this incoming horde, some are bent on pleasure, some seeking health, but the greater number are seeking home. They are coming to stay, and why not? The State will produce everything desirable, and those coming to culfivate vines and trees are able to produce probably as great returns as have been ever known to come from lands anywhere since the country was settled,”’ oF Death of Matthew Alty. Matthew Alty, who was internally injured two weeks ago by the caving ofa bank while he was engaged in mining, died yesterday morning at 10 o’clock.» Mr. Alty was a well-known and a very highly respected citizen, having lived here for many years. He has been janitor of the Methodist Caurch during the past eight or ten years. He was a member of the American Legion of Honor, and the funeral will take place on Sunday, December 25th, at the Methodist Church, under the auspices of that organization. He leaves a wife, son, married daughter, and hosts of friends to mourn his loss, i mb@nbiss cae A Christian Gentleman, We have always been in doubt whether James O’Brien, of Smartsville, was a Christian or not.

Corley, who was so helplésshe could not turn in bed, or raise his head; everybody ‘said he was dying of Consump4ion.

A young man, about 20 years of age, and who gives the name of T. M. Dickman, was arrested near Auburn on Thursday afternoon last for stealing* a horse from Thos. MecGuire’s stable at Grass Valley: Thursday morning. A butcher boy in Grass Valley saw a stranger with the horse and informed its owner, Tom McGuire. The latter gentleman borrowed the young man’s horse and started in pursuit’ of the thief. When near Chicago Park the horse Mr. McGuire was riding gave out, and he then got aboard of the Narrow Gauge train and went td Colfax. On-arriving there he learned from. Constable Dyer that the man and horse passed through Colfax at 11 o’clock in the forenoon. The thief having three hours start of the Constable and Mr. McGuire,they concludedto goon the train as far as Applegate station. At this place they could learh nothing of him. They hired a horse and cart and started for Clipper Gap, and when near that plece they had the misfortune of running against a rock, the horse became frightened and the cart was ‘knocked into smithereens, but doing litle dam age to the occupants. At this place they learned that the thief had an hour’s start of them. Dyer then got a fresh horse and started off alone and when within about a mile of Auburn he came up to his man, and with drawn revolver commanded him to surrender. He did as told, when he was handcuffed to the saddle and Constable Dyer brouzht him te Grass Val: ley, arriving there at.3 o’clock yesterday morning. The prisoner had his examination before Justice Paynter, and in’ defauit of $1,000 bonds was brought to this city. yesterday torning and lodged in the county jail. ‘Fhe prisoner at first said his name was Tom Jo.nson, but upon close questioning said-his true name was T. M. Dickman; that he came from Brooklyn, New York, about five weeks ago, and to this county from San Francisco on Tuesday last. Constable Dyer is entitled. to great credit for his perseverance in the c: apturing of the young thief, 0-09 —__-___—— Closing Exercises. . The~closing-~ exercises~ of~tive-fill term of Mrs. Logan’s private school and kindergarten, on Water street, took place Thursday afternoon. The pupils greeted their assembled friends with a hearty song of welcome, and then all reverently joined in singing a child’s prayer. This was followed’ by “ping songs” and recitations. ‘The Little Waitress”? was prettily rendered by the girls, in costume, the click of spoon and cup keeping time to the merry voices. ‘‘Scandal’’ was a neat take off by two little girls. ‘Only a Last Year’s Doll,’ a sad suggestion of affection’s change as attractions fade, was creditably presented by pupils. The schoolroom was decorated with evergreens, and a Christmas tree was loaded with souvenirs made by the children which they distributed among their friends, which was a pleasing surprise, as also was the Christmas cards and cornucopias of candy to the pupils from their teacher, The children in turn had their surprise for the teacher, having smuggled into the school room and hid away among the branches of the tree a beautifully illustrated copy of “The Songs. of Birds,”? Their success at this was immensely enjoyed by the perpetrators. A ‘‘good-bye” song closed the entertainmént and amid shouts of ‘*Merry Christmas” the little ones dispersed for a twoweek’s vacation. At the meeting of the American Legion of Honor, held on Thursday evening last, the following officers were elected: O. Maltman, Commander; Geo. F. Gray, Vice Commander; 8arah F. Edwards, Orator; Amelia Brand, Past Commande; J. C. Dickerman, Secretary; C. D. Locklin, Collector; H. G. Parsons, Treasurer ; Thomas Kidd, Chaplain ; Louisa Dreyfuss, Guide; C. H.

A. Barrett. 4 MATERIALS for fruit cake and Rise, puddding at Geo. C. Gaylord’s lat Carr Bros. & ,. et * ha HCW TO GET RICH QUICK. A Succesful California Frurt-Grower Tells ofa Method. ‘Why don’t your young men working on saiaries form a combination atid raise fruit? You wou'd make a lot of money out of it,’? said A. T. Hatch, the successful fruit grower and President of the California fruit Union, to an Examiner _ reporter. “Don’t say that perhaps you haven’t any money. You don’t need any. At least very little is needed to start with, and you would get a big amount for your trouble. I had a talk to-day down at Fourth and Townsend streets with a couple of men in the railroad office there. They referred to méin a complimentry way and suid they would like to raise fruit, but that they didn’t have money enough, and that anyway they couldn’t trnst any one to manage a ranch and yet hope to make it profitable. This seems to be a general belief. But now: suppose 100 young men, whoare earning from $100 to $150 per month, begin laying aside ” . $50 permonth, with the end in-view of keeping it’ up for twenty months. Each ‘would then have contributed $1,000, and the total amount paid in would be $100,000. « ‘But long before this. was paid in, I may say at the very beginning: of the object, the proposed stockholders would meet, elect a president, secretury and other officers, and a man for their superintendent and manager, and proceed to buy their land; go out, perhaps to some comparatively new sectiou and buy 1,000 acres to start on. This‘1,000 acres: should be bought low, say for $17,500, to lump it off, perhaps net so much, any new neighborhood would give a good deal to have a‘complete fruit farm that would be a constant exhibit of what the country could produce in the way of fine fruits. Plant this in prunes; pears, apricots and pomezranates, say, and go right along. “The next year buy another 1,000 acres, and the next another, and sd on un il’you have fouror five such ‘thou: sand-acre fruit farms projected. At the end of the fourth year your first farm is bearing, and when your 'first is almost. ripe andythe ranch looks well advertise it and sell it, fruit and all, to the highest bidder at auction. It will surprise you what you will get for-it.Why; -$200-or-$300-—anacre, anyway. “Then recollect the next year you get another 1000-acre farm to sell, and soon. Don’t handle your farm at all. Let sombody else do that. Of course, a carelul, practical suprintendent would be necessary, but there are such men, and the $100,000 which could in this way easily be raised, would be ample. You speak of possible dissension. Well, ifa man gets tired, let him draw.out, and yet hold just the percentage of interest in the concern that he has paid. Or let him sell out to somebody who will assume the same obligations as the others. I am satisfied there weuld be plenty of buyers, ~; several “There -are advantages about this successive — fruit-land scheme. For one thing, your first lot of trees will cost, say, ten cents apiece, but you can raise the trees intended for your-second ranch on your first, planting between the other trees. This can be repeatéd right along. “The buildings needed on the fruitfarms need not be costly. Let them answer the purpose, simply, but keep all your farms up in ship-shape, and cultivate them well. The item of fences need not amount to much. About forty horses and, of cour e, some tools would be required, but I think the $100,000 could be figured to cover the whole thing. Let all bills be audited by either the President and Secretary or a committee, say of three, elected by the 100 interested. One suprintendent could manaye the four or five 1,000-acre tracts. If those interested choose, they need not stop at four Or five, but go right on. “Now, there may be some details I left ont, but all these matters could be arranzed, Thisis the principle, and I believe it would work. You have no idea how much one of tnese California fruit-farms, with full bearing trees, would be worth, without figuring on it. It is prodigious. And at the end of the twenty months, when each has paid his $1,000, there would be a few who would not be otherwise just as well off as if they had not contributed toward this and formed the nucleus fo what. must eventually be w large fortune. i peal wire $3,“ a Turkeys are Cheap. About ten days ago it was thought that many would be compelled to go without a Christmas turkey, on acegunt of the scarcity of the fowl, and the high prices charged for them. A week ago the price was twenty-two ceuts & pound, then it dropped to twenty cents, then to sixteen, and on Thursday night a wagon peddler was offering them at fourteen cents. That’s cheaper than second-class beef, Last Warning, There will be a big rush to pay taxeson Tuesday next.

The Republican says:While the weather has not been extremely cold, yet it has been sufficiently frigid to congeal water to a: onsiderab!e extent. The mercury has gone down to zero nearly every night for the past ten or twelve days and the ice on the ice ponds has reached a thickness sutli. cient for it to be cut and stored away in the immense houses wiere it will be ready to use next summer. Very little ice will be, put up less than 12 inches in thickness and much of it will be 15 or 16 inches thick. The ice companies are now rustling in order to fill ‘the houses before there is any change, in the weather, and the ice ponds are the busiest places these days, and an activity prevails which is seldom witnessed anywhere else. There are now over 500 menemployed in cutting ice, and their daily wages amount to something. It is thought. that the present crop will exceed anything ever before harvested on .the.¢goas! and if the present weather continues avouple of weeks longer every house along the river will» be filled. This means °a harvest of 75,000 tons of ice and the disbursement of about $30,000 in wages among the laboring classes. © This is quite a sum of money and is of great assistance in securing.

' See On the 22nd day ef October, 1886, Francis’ Harland, Superintendent of the Pilgrim: quartz mine, Sierra county, was found dead from the effects of a bullet. Tt was at first reported that he Kad cominitted suicide on account of financial diil but there was a strong suspicion that he had been murdered, and after a long time facts have come out proving this tohave “been the case, and a short timevago B. Aroni, wn Italian, WAS are rested as the person who committed the deed. A telegram from Downié ville says that Superior Judge Soward, acting as magistrate, has admitted Aroni to bail in the sum of $4 000, The evidence on the examination showed that a cold-blooder murder had “been committed. darland was Superintentdent of the Pilgrim mine and mill ‘at the time, and was indebted to Aroni in thesum of $140 borrowed money, which he was unable to pay on demand, Five witnesses testified that Aroni had walked to the grounds around where Harland slept and was heard repeatedly through the night to threaten to kill Harland if he went away without paying bin. Harland went out in his night-clothes about 5.0’clock and ashot was heard shortly afterward, and within half an hour after the shot Aroni was seen to eyter his sleepingroom and go to bed. Harland’s body was found about 6 A. Ww, There had been trouble between Llarland and the men of the mine the night before, but that was all quieted except with Aroni. From the nature of the evidence presented at the examination much surulties, should have admitted the murderer to bail. 0 9 Oee— Don’r forget that although the times area little dull, that the little ones will expect a present.

The weather continnes to be lovely. The schools closed yesterday for a two weeks vacation. The Lone Jack Mine, at Grass Valley, was started up yesterday. The mining prospects hereabouts will be much betterin a few weeks. Lands are cheaper in this section than in any other portion of the State. But few more days left in which to do assessment work on mining claims. It is now near the close of the year, and all who owe the printer should pav up. Three trains a day between Nevada City and San Francisco—6 and 11:30 a. M. and 5:10-p. m. Peruse the advertising columns of the Transcripr before making your Holiday purchases. Some fine looking quartz is being taken out of the Neversweat mine at Willow Valley. A bundle in hand is worth two on the Christmas-tree, according to the child’s philosophy. The Holiday trade is panning out much better than was expected by some of our loca) dealers. Half of the world is ignorant of what the other half isdoing just now. Reason—Christmas is coming. If you want to get good bargains in landcallon the agent of the Nevada County Land Association, on Broad street. The Centennial Gravel Mining Company has levied an assessment of three cents per share. This is the 33d one. The Nevada County mine is looking very welland improving as,the work progresses. It’ will*be a big mine in the near future. Nevada county lands are in good demand, Every day there are new comers here in ‘search of improved and unimproved lads. Pay your taxes today. The Treusurers office will be closed up on Monday, and Tuesday will be the last day to settle without costs. — If you will notice it, the grandest opportunities for making money are always open to the man who never had a cent he could call his.own. Buy. land while it_is_cheap, if you want to get rich in a year or so. If you don’t want be rich don’t buy land The subscribers ofthe Grass Valley papers in this city are wondering why they do not get their papers here by the 9:33 p. M. train instead of the following day at 11:05 .4. M. Several of the owners of the El Dorado mine, near the Delhi, who reside -in this city, were highly elated yesterday on learning that‘a fine two-foot ledge was struck in the claim yesterday. Gaylord & Searls, the well known lawyers, must be making money. That is, we judge so, from the fact that yesterday they had all the furniture and books removed from their offices, and are having the inside of the building fixed up in gay style, new carpets, etc. Yesterday was a holiday for Gaass Valley. It was Donation Day, and not only the school children but the merchants of that town took a lively interest in the matter. This custom was inaugurated at that town in the interest of charity and each . ’ year seems to be more successful than the previous one. A very large force of men are at work at the Chicago Park, in clearing the land, burning, brush, etc. The saw mill near that place is kept running night and day in getting out lumber for the new hotel, school house, church and other buildings which will be erected there as soon as the weather will permit. ~ Theater This Afternoon and Evening. The Wilber Company have been playing at the Theatre this week to good-sized audiences and have given the best of satisfaction. This. afternoon the company will give a matinee and produce the play of ‘‘Fanchon.” During the afternoon, a beautiful wax doll will be presented to the person holding the lucky number, a ticket being given to everyone attending. This evening the Company give their farewell performance, and will produce the well-known play of ‘‘East Lynne.” A gold watch will be given as a prize on this occasion.

CALIFORNIA'S BOOM. ns The Fresent Great Rush of People to the Pacific Coast. = A ‘telegram from New-York says: The Tribune printsa letter from A. N. Towne, General Manager of the Southern Pacific Company, concerning the influx of population and growth of business. ‘T':e letter, which is dated San Fraacisco, December 12th, says: “There is, I think, a greater incoming of people than has ever been known in any State or Territory of the Union before. Of this incoming horde, some are bent on pleasure, some seeking health, but the greater number are seeking home. They are coming to stay, and why not? The State will produce everything desirable, and those coming to culfivate vines and trees are able to produce probably as great returns as have been ever known to come from lands anywhere since the country was settled,”’ oF Death of Matthew Alty. Matthew Alty, who was internally injured two weeks ago by the caving ofa bank while he was engaged in mining, died yesterday morning at 10 o’clock.» Mr. Alty was a well-known and a very highly respected citizen, having lived here for many years. He has been janitor of the Methodist Caurch during the past eight or ten years. He was a member of the American Legion of Honor, and the funeral will take place on Sunday, December 25th, at the Methodist Church, under the auspices of that organization.

A young man, about 20 years of age, and who gives the name of T. M. Dickman, was arrested near Auburn on Thursday afternoon last for stealing* a horse from Thos. MecGuire’s stable at Grass Valley: Thursday morning. A butcher boy in Grass Valley saw a stranger with the horse and informed its owner, Tom McGuire. The latter gentleman borrowed the young man’s horse and started in pursuit’ of the thief. When near Chicago Park the horse Mr. McGuire was riding gave out, and he then got aboard of the Narrow Gauge train and went td Colfax. On-arriving there he learned from. Constable Dyer that the man and horse passed through Colfax at 11 o’clock in the forenoon. The thief having three hours start of the Constable and Mr. McGuire,they concludedto goon the train as far as Applegate station. At this place they could learh nothing of him. They hired a horse and cart and started for Clipper Gap, and when near that plece they had the misfortune of running against a rock, the horse became frightened and the cart was ‘knocked into smithereens, but doing litle dam age to the occupants. At this place they learned that the thief had an hour’s start of them. Dyer then got a fresh horse and started off alone and when within about a mile of Auburn he came up to his man, and with drawn revolver commanded him to surrender. He did as told, when he was handcuffed to the saddle and Constable Dyer brouzht him te Grass Val: ley, arriving there at.3 o’clock yesterday morning. The prisoner had his examination before Justice Paynter, and in’ defauit of $1,000 bonds was brought to this city. yesterday torning and lodged in the county jail. ‘Fhe prisoner at first said his name was Tom Jo.nson, but upon close questioning said-his true name was T. M. Dickman; that he came from Brooklyn, New York, about five weeks ago, and to this county from San Francisco on Tuesday last. Constable Dyer is entitled. to great credit for his perseverance in the c: apturing of the young thief, 0-09 —__-___—— Closing Exercises. . The~closing-~ exercises~ of~tive-fill term of Mrs. Logan’s private school and kindergarten, on Water street, took place Thursday afternoon. The pupils greeted their assembled friends with a hearty song of welcome, and then all reverently joined in singing a child’s prayer. This was followed’ by “ping songs” and recitations. ‘The Little Waitress”? was prettily rendered by the girls, in costume, the click of spoon and cup keeping time to the merry voices. ‘‘Scandal’’ was a neat take off by two little girls. ‘Only a Last Year’s Doll,’ a sad suggestion of affection’s change as attractions fade, was creditably presented by pupils. The schoolroom was decorated with evergreens, and a Christmas tree was loaded with souvenirs made by the children which they distributed among their friends, which was a pleasing surprise, as also was the Christmas cards and cornucopias of candy to the pupils from their teacher, The children in turn had their surprise for the teacher, having smuggled into the school room and hid away among the branches of the tree a beautifully illustrated copy of “The Songs. of Birds,”? Their success at this was immensely enjoyed by the perpetrators. A ‘‘good-bye” song closed the entertainmént and amid shouts of ‘*Merry Christmas” the little ones dispersed for a twoweek’s vacation. At the meeting of the American Legion of Honor, held on Thursday evening last, the following officers were elected: O. Maltman, Commander; Geo. F. Gray, Vice Commander; 8arah F. Edwards, Orator; Amelia Brand, Past Commande; J. C. Dickerman, Secretary; C. D. Locklin, Collector; H. G. Parsons, Treasurer ; Thomas Kidd, Chaplain ; Louisa Dreyfuss, Guide; C. H.

A Succesful California Frurt-Grower Tells ofa Method. ‘Why don’t your young men working on saiaries form a combination atid raise fruit? You wou'd make a lot of money out of it,’? said A. T. Hatch, the successful fruit grower and President of the California fruit Union, to an Examiner _ reporter. “Don’t say that perhaps you haven’t any money. You don’t need any. At least very little is needed to start with, and you would get a big amount for your trouble. I had a talk to-day down at Fourth and Townsend streets with a couple of men in the railroad office there. They referred to méin a complimentry way and suid they would like to raise fruit, but that they didn’t have money enough, and that anyway they couldn’t trnst any one to manage a ranch and yet hope to make it profitable. This seems to be a general belief. But now: suppose 100 young men, whoare earning from $100 to $150 per month, begin laying aside ” . $50 permonth, with the end in-view of keeping it’ up for twenty months. Each ‘would then have contributed $1,000, and the total amount paid in would be $100,000. « ‘But long before this. was paid in, I may say at the very beginning: of

the object, the proposed stockholders would meet, elect a president, secretury and other officers, and a man for their superintendent and manager, and proceed to buy their land; go out, perhaps to some comparatively new sectiou and buy 1,000 acres to start on. This‘1,000 acres: should be bought low, say for $17,500, to lump it off, perhaps net so much, any new neighborhood would give a good deal to have a‘complete fruit farm that would be a constant exhibit of what the country could produce in the way of fine fruits.. Plant this in prunes; pears, apricots and pomezranates, say, and go right along. “The next year buy another 1,000 acres, and the next another, and sd on un il’you have fouror five such ‘thou: sand-acre fruit farms projected. At the end of the fourth year your first farm is bearing, and when your 'first is almost. ripe andythe ranch looks well advertise it and sell it, fruit and all, to the highest bidder at auction. It will surprise you what you will get for-it.Why; -$200-or-$300-—anacre, anyway. “Then recollect the next year you get another 1000-acre farm to sell, and soon. Don’t handle your farm at all. Let sombody else do that. Of course, a carelul, practical suprintendent would be necessary, but there are such men, and the $100,000 which could in this way easily be raised, would be ample. You speak of possible dissension. Well, ifa man gets tired, let him draw.out, and yet hold just the percentage of interest in the concern that he has paid. Or let him sell out to somebody who will assume the same obligations as the others. I am satisfied there weuld be plenty of buyers, ~; several “There -are advantages about this successive — fruit-land scheme. For one thing, your first lot of trees will cost, say, ten cents apiece, but you can raise the trees intended for your-second ranch on your first, planting between the other trees. This can be repeatéd right along. “The buildings needed on the fruitfarms need not be costly. Let them answer the purpose, simply, but keep all your farms up in ship-shape, and cultivate them well. The item of fences need not amount to much. About forty horses and, of cour e, some tools would be required, but I think the $100,000 could be figured to cover the whole thing. Let all bills be audited by either the President and Secretary or a committee, say of three, elected by the 100 interested. One suprintendent could manaye the four or five 1,000-acre tracts. If those interested choose, they need not stop at four Or five, but go right on. “Now, there may be some details I left ont, but all these matters could be arranzed, Thisis the principle, and I believe it would work. You have no idea how much one of tnese California fruit-farms, with full bearing trees, would be worth, without figuring on it. It is prodigious. And at the end of the twenty months, when each has paid his $1,000, there would be a few who would not be otherwise just as well off as if they had not contributed toward this and formed the nucleus fo what. must eventually be w large fortune. i peal wire $3,“ a Turkeys are Cheap. About ten days ago it was thought that many would be compelled to go without a Christmas turkey, on acegunt of the scarcity of the fowl, and the high prices charged for them. A week ago the price was twenty-two ceuts & pound, then it dropped to twenty cents, then to sixteen, and on Thursday night a wagon peddler was offering them at fourteen cents. That’s cheaper than second-class beef, Last Warning, There will be a big rush to pay taxeson Tuesday next.

The Republican says:While the weather has not been extremely cold, yet it has been sufficiently frigid to congeal water to a: onsiderab!e extent. The mercury has gone down to zero nearly every night for the past ten or twelve days and the ice on the ice ponds has reached a thickness sutli. cient for it to be cut and stored away in the immense houses wiere it will be ready to use next summer. Very little ice will be, put up less than 12 inches in thickness and much of it will be 15 or 16 inches thick. The ice companies are now rustling in order to fill ‘the houses before there is any change, in the weather, and the ice ponds are the busiest places these days, and an activity prevails which is seldom witnessed anywhere else. There are now over 500 menemployed in cutting ice, and their daily wages amount to something. It is thought. that the present crop will exceed anything ever before harvested on .the.¢goas! and if the present weather continues avouple of weeks longer every house along the river will» be filled. This means °a harvest of 75,000 tons of ice and the disbursement of about $30,000 in wages among the laboring classes. © This is quite a sum of money and is of great assistance in securing.

' See On the 22nd day ef October, 1886, Francis’ Harland, Superintendent of the Pilgrim: quartz mine, Sierra county, was found dead from the effects of a bullet. Tt was at first reported that he Kad cominitted suicide on account of financial diil but there was a strong suspicion that he had been murdered, and after a long time facts have come out proving this tohave “been the case, and a short timevago B. Aroni, wn Italian, WAS are rested as the person who committed the deed. A telegram from Downié ville says that Superior Judge Soward, acting as magistrate, has admitted Aroni to bail in the sum of $4 000, The evidence on the examination showed that a cold-blooder murder had “been committed. darland was Superintentdent of the Pilgrim mine and mill ‘at the time, and was indebted to Aroni in thesum of $140 borrowed money, which he was unable to pay on demand, Five witnesses testified that Aroni had walked to the grounds around where Harland slept and was heard repeatedly through the night to threaten to kill Harland if he went away without paying bin. Harland went out in his night-clothes about 5.0’clock and ashot was heard shortly afterward, and within half an hour after the shot Aroni was seen to eyter his sleepingroom and go to bed. Harland’s body was found about 6 A. Ww, There had been trouble between Llarland and the men of the mine the night before, but that was all quieted except with Aroni. From the nature of the evidence presented at the examination much surulties, should have admitted the murderer to bail. 0 9 Oee— Don’r forget that although the times area little dull, that the little ones will expect a present.
