GILLET’S WALNUTS. Nevada City’s Enterprising Nurseryman and His Work. The San Francisco Pacific Rural Press says: ‘Those who have read the Rural Press for the last 10 years or more know with what zeal and ed a Mr. Felix Gillet, of Nevada/City, has pursued the horticultural. sp2cialties to the understanding and distribution of which he has apparently devoted his life. The service he is rendering our horticulture has won him many friends and should entitle him tegeneral esteem. This was ogr first thought when we receivfrom him the other day a box with 15 English walnuts pore d arranged in it, and each one labeled, with the request that we keep it on, exhibition in our editorial roonié, that any one interested in walnut. growing might. have the opportunity to examine the characteristics of the different va— rieties exhibited. The, matter seemed tous so interesting that ; we secured outline engravings of the nuts and present them to our readers upon this page.’’ , Then follows a series of engravings and a lengthy article setting forth the superiority of the preparturiens and other leading vatieties of French walnuts introduced to this country by Mr. Gilet. Mr. Gillet is ‘about to issue a twenty-page supplement to his last catalogue, and it will be principally devoted to the subjects of newer and improved varieties of chestnuts, filbert and walnuts. In the course of the supplement occurs the following interesting, local reference: ; ‘The most surprising yield of nuts that has come to our notice was from a 30-year-old tree, owned by Mr. L. Charonnat, near Nevada city. That tree, which is now:the largest proeparturiens to ted States, was four years old when planted in 1860; it was then one of those common Los Angeles walnuts; it. bore 17 nutsin 20 years, 11 ‘nuts in 1 year; was graited by usinto our late preparturiens in the fall of 1880; in 1884, the tree. completely transformed into a proeparturiens bore 627 nuts, twice as many in 1885, but in 1886 the crop was so large that the long branches were bending down under the burden of the nuts, which could be seen all over the tree in bunches of two to six, Over 6,000 nuts were. gathered from that tree this year, 1886. Mr. Charonnat has nowto cut back some of the longest limbs for fear that next year the branches will break down under the weight of the nuts. The tree is now 66 inches in circumference, 57 inches at 6 feet from the ground, 35 feet in hight, with a top 30 feet in width. As atrue proeparturiens, it spreads out all around and bears enormous crops.’’ Dead Men’s Bones, In Justice Sowden’s court last week a warrant was sworn out charging four Chinamen with unlawfully disinterring the corpse of a fellow countryman who had been planted in the Chinese annex to Pine Giove Cemetery. This burial ground is not far from the residence of Wm. H. Kistle, and the mongolians have been in the habit of going there and exhuming their deceased friends, and after removing the flesh from the bones shipping the latter to the Flowery Kingdom. The digging up and scraping -processes have proven an unbearable nuisance to the Kistle family. Hence the complaint. cerned in last week’s affair were arrested yesterday. One was dis*: charged, but the -other, whose name is Ah Sue, pleaded guilty and was fined $50. Hereafter those of them who want to remove remains trom the burying ground will probably take the precaution to first secure a permit from the proper authorities. Cc. L. 8. C.

In no part of California is the farming industry more profitable than in the Bartlett pear belt of this county, provided it is industriously and intelligently conducted, This is a growing belief backed up by results which do not leave room for argument to the contrary. There are farmers in Nevadacounty whodo net prosper, and so are there in every part of the civilized. world ;: but nineteen-twentieths of these: unhappy individuals have no one but.fhem selves to blame for their failure todoso. Hard work, strict economy and close attention to business are the principal. essentials of success in farming, as in all other classes of business, and the individual who expects to get along without them will have a ey hard time getting along at Speaking of profitable foot-hill farms, thereis one out on Gold Flat, just beyond the limits of this city, which fills the bill toa nicety. It consist of 17 acres and belongs to John Bost. Mr. Bost has a five-acre orchard, and he knows how to take care of it. As a re sult, while the codlin moth and similar pests are playing havoc with other people’s trees, his are clean and healthy. It does not cost anything but labor to keep them so, This year, asa result, thirty tons of apples worth 21¢ to 3 cents a pound, and 60 boxes of pears, have been gathered. He raised ten tons of potatoes which command 2/4 cents a pound in the market; and twenty-four, tons of hay at $20 aton.

The Tidings tells of two accidents that occurred at Grass Valley the latter part of the past week. Thomas Taaffe, who is employed in Roger’s custom mill, had the index finger of his left hand mashed in the mill so that amputation was necessary. Dick Chenoweth, employed on the North Star mill, fell from a height of about fifteen feet, breaking one arm, dislocating the wrist of the other arm, and almost cutting off the tip of his nose. ae eae Nevada County Oranges. The orange crop on the lower part of 'the San Juan ridge in this county is excellent this year. In: John Kuhlman’s _ houseyard at French Corral are two fine trees loaded down with the ripening fruit. The oranges raised in that section are much larger and more palatable than tnose growing at and around Marysville. oe The Defendants Win. The jury in the appeal case of J.

The Grass Valley Union of yesterday has the following: On Thursday H. J. Boedecker, -of Marysville, came up from that Ly in company with Jacob and ward Striker, to look at a tract of land owned by the latter with a yiew of making a purchase. They were all riding on the same seat of the wagon, and when about three miles west of Newtown the wheelsof the wagon struck in a rut, which caused the vehicle to upset and the three men. were thrown out. Jacob Striker was holding a loaded shotgun in his hands at the time, and in some way notknown its contents were discharged, the entire load striking Boedecker in the right side, from behind and above the. hip, and tearinga hole through to the front as large us a man’s hand. The wound was a terrible one, and though the unfortunate man Still survives, Dr. Jamieson, his perpen, considers that! a atal result must. surely follow. Mr. Boedecker, who. is a. young man, says the shooting was wholly accidental, and he places no blame on Mr. Striker, who was carrying the gun. Neither of! the Striker brothers were seriously jhurt, but they are greatly distressed over the unfortunate event. The accident occurred at2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. Mr. Boedecker is unmarried but probably has relatives residing at Marysville or in that vicinity. STATE 1TEXT BOOKS. Not Half as Expensive as Those Now Used.

The Great *K7axr IN DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING Having now fairly got under way on my account between the dealers of Nevada City, every contestant is put to his mettle to make the best fight he knows how. LL. HYMAN, ‘every cent saved in carrguhg on his business is just so much saved to his patrons,has determined to concentrate all his energies on the central establishment at the corner of Main and Commercial streets. ‘Hence he will on JANUARY Ist, 1887, Discontinue the Branch Store on Broad Street. Between Tuesday, December 7th, and the end of this month, he will offer for sale at cash in hand, all the goods, fixtures, (consisting of shelves, counters, gas fixtures, ete.) of the store and tailoring department, AT LESS THAN COST. _ . =e The Stock Embraces CLOTHING, (Ready Made and Custom) Gents Furnishing Goods _ FINE HATS, Boots & Shoes, Everything in this De4am partment is new, hav: ing been bought but © 60 days ago fora firstclass trade. The. Tailoring Department Embraces MACHINES, IRONS, ETC., Besides $600 WORTH OF FINE CLOTHS. As I am going out of this branch entirely, I will sell any part or all of these articles, Suits Made During the next 30 Days at LULU Ws FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. ‘ Thisis-not a “retiring from business” sale like that of some of the end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I mean it. A certain merchant in this city advertises, “Down with High Prices,” and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, éte., thrown in. He offers for $450 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at$8. He did a similar thing two years ‘ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. Ihave been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. I claim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer $100 REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championship. I have never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause Ido not make profits big enough to do so. Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $1, a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who charges only ta living profit cando. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suits'for $25 and $30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. I ask.the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes. I say that I sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. The reagon is (I can show bills to prove it) that I buy direct from New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. I.am the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good dea! of work myself. The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. Iam here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no eommunication, nor amI in connivance with any of the other dealers here. They are all at anmity with me, and want to get me away assoon asthey can. But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go. AgainI say I am‘here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity. oe I ask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to cqgntinue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want atiything more. Ed After New Year I will offer the Ladies some great inducements in the way of 2 CALICO, MUSLINS and other STAPLE Go0BS, As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now todisplay them.

That tree, which is now:the largest proeparturiens to ted States, was four years old when planted in 1860; it was then one of those common Los Angeles walnuts; it. bore 17 nutsin 20 years, 11 ‘nuts in 1 year; was graited by usinto our late preparturiens in the fall of 1880; in 1884, the tree. completely transformed into a proeparturiens bore 627 nuts, twice as many in 1885, but in 1886 the crop was so large that the long branches were bending down under the burden of the nuts, which could be seen all over the tree in bunches of two to six, Over 6,000 nuts were. gathered from that tree this year, 1886. Mr. Charonnat has nowto cut back some of the longest limbs for fear that next year the branches will break down under the weight of the nuts. The tree is now 66 inches in circumference, 57 inches at 6 feet from the ground, 35 feet in hight, with a top 30 feet in width. As atrue proeparturiens, it spreads out all around and bears enormous crops.’’ Dead Men’s Bones, In Justice Sowden’s court last week a warrant was sworn out charging four Chinamen with unlawfully disinterring the corpse of a fellow countryman who had been planted in the Chinese annex to Pine Giove Cemetery. This burial ground is not far from the residence of Wm. H. Kistle, and the mongolians have been in the habit of going there and exhuming their deceased friends, and after removing the flesh from the bones shipping the latter to the Flowery Kingdom. The digging up and scraping -processes have proven an unbearable nuisance to the Kistle family. Hence the complaint. cerned in last week’s affair were arrested yesterday. One was dis*: charged, but the -other, whose name is Ah Sue, pleaded guilty and was fined $50. Hereafter those of them who want to remove remains trom the burying ground will probably take the precaution to first secure a permit from the proper authorities. Cc. L. 8. C.

In no part of California is the farming industry more profitable than in the Bartlett pear belt of this county, provided it is industriously and intelligently conducted, This is a growing belief backed up by results which do not leave room for argument to the contrary. There are farmers in Nevadacounty whodo net prosper, and so are there in every part of the civilized. world ;: but nineteen-twentieths of these: unhappy individuals have no one but.fhem selves to blame for their failure todoso. Hard work, strict economy and close attention to business are the principal. essentials of success in farming, as in all other classes of business, and the individual who expects to get along without them will have a ey hard time getting along at Speaking of profitable foot-hill farms, thereis one out on Gold Flat, just beyond the limits of this city, which fills the bill toa nicety.

The Grass Valley Union of yesterday has the following: On Thursday H. J. Boedecker, -of Marysville, came up from that Ly in company with Jacob and ward Striker, to look at a tract of land owned by the latter with a yiew of making a purchase. They were all riding on the same seat of the wagon, and when about three miles west of Newtown the wheelsof the wagon struck in a rut, which caused the vehicle to upset and the three men. were thrown out. Jacob Striker was holding a loaded shotgun in his hands at the time, and in some way notknown its contents were discharged, the entire load striking Boedecker in the right side, from behind and above the. hip, and tearinga hole through to the front as large us a man’s hand. The wound was a terrible one, and though the unfortunate man Still survives, Dr. Jamieson, his perpen, considers that! a atal result must. surely follow. Mr. Boedecker, who. is a. young man, says the shooting was wholly accidental, and he places no blame on Mr. Striker, who was carrying the gun. Neither of! the Striker brothers were seriously jhurt, but they are greatly distressed over the unfortunate event. The accident occurred at2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. Mr. Boedecker is unmarried but probably has relatives residing at Marysville or in that vicinity. STATE 1TEXT BOOKS. Not Half as Expensive as Those Now Used.

The Great *K7axr IN DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING Having now fairly got under way on my account between the dealers of Nevada City, every contestant is put to his mettle to make the best fight he knows how. LL. HYMAN, ‘every cent saved in carrguhg on his business is just so much saved to his patrons,has determined to concentrate all his energies on the central establishment at the corner of Main and Commercial streets. ‘Hence he will on JANUARY Ist, 1887, Discontinue the Branch Store on Broad Street. Between Tuesday, December 7th, and the end of this month, he will offer for sale at cash in hand, all the goods, fixtures, (consisting of shelves, counters, gas fixtures, ete.) of the store and tailoring department, AT LESS THAN COST. _ . =e The Stock Embraces CLOTHING, (Ready Made and Custom) Gents Furnishing Goods _ FINE HATS, Boots & Shoes, Everything in this De4am partment is new, hav: ing been bought but © 60 days ago fora firstclass trade. The. Tailoring Department Embraces MACHINES, IRONS, ETC., Besides $600 WORTH OF FINE CLOTHS. As I am going out of this branch entirely, I will sell any part or all of these articles, Suits Made During the next 30 Days at LULU Ws FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. ‘ Thisis-not a “retiring from business” sale like that of some of the end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I mean it. A certain merchant in this city advertises, “Down with High Prices,” and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, éte., thrown in. He offers for $450 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at$8. He did a similar thing two years ‘ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. Ihave been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. I claim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer $100 REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championship. I have never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause Ido not make profits big enough to do so. Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $1, a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who charges only ta living profit cando. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suits'for $25 and $30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. I ask.the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes. I say that I sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. The reagon is (I can show bills to prove it) that I buy direct from New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. I.am the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good dea! of work myself. The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. Iam here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no eommunication, nor amI in connivance with any of the other dealers here. They are all at anmity with me, and want to get me away assoon asthey can. But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go. AgainI say I am‘here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity. oe I ask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to cqgntinue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want atiything more. Ed After New Year I will offer the Ladies some great inducements in the way of 2 CALICO, MUSLINS and other STAPLE Go0BS, As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now todisplay them.
