F. Rosenra, —_—_—_— Worse and More of it. There have been about half a dozen changes in the railroad time-table, during the last few months, and each change was worse for railroad employes. and the public generally than. the preceding one. The change previous to the present one was thought to be just the very worst ever heard of for tuilroad employes. The last change has partially reversed things, and this time it is good for the railroad employes, although tough for the traveling public and the mail re eiving community. Heretofore we have had two trains a day, thereby receiving two mails a day from the West. Now there is but one train a day each way. This arrangement is a great inconvenience to our people; Besides, the passengers and mails now Ieaving San Fra ‘cisco at 3:30 in the afternoon and reaching Colfax at 11 at night are compelled to remain at Colfax until 5 o'clock the next sfternoun. They reach this city.at 6:50 p. at., being delayed at Colfax eighteen hours. Pussengers coming irom the E.st and mails arriving on the overland at 4 and 6 a. M. are delayed at Colfax thirteen hours. It is not likely that Manager Kidder of the Narrow Gauge Ra-lroad will allow such a state of affaire to exist any longer that he can complete his arrangements for the convenience of the traveling public and the people generally. No change evermade by the Railroad Company has created so inuch dissatisfaction as this one has. The Institute Party. The progress've whist party held at Hibernia Hall Thursday evening after the regular meeting of the Young Men’s Institute was a success. Ahoui a score of members of the Young Ladies Institute were present, making a total attendance of over forty ladies and gentlemen. The game began about nine o’clock and: lasted until near midnight. The first prze—a plush dressing case—was won by Misa Mannion, and the booby prize—-a toy goose2went to Miss Sudie O'Donnell. Of the gentlemen the highest score was made by Charles Grimes and the lowest by James Hunley, but they received no prizes. On the night they instal officers, which will be the 18th instant, the Young, Ladies’ Institute will entertain the Young Men’s Institute. Naturel Wash. During the summer and fall the deposit of slickensin Deer Creek, at this city has increased in depth about five feet. As there have been no hydraulic mines running on the watershed of the stream, the accumulation can be fairly attributed to ‘natural wash.” The storms of the winter will scour the channel and the raging torrent wily bear the rich silt from the foutbilldown to the Sacramento Valley, depositing it upon the impoverished hard_ pan of the anti-miners who live adjacent to the river. ee Looking at the Acadamy. Dr. Wm. Shelton arrived here Thursday evening from Los Angeles and is conferring with the Directors of the Nevada County Acadamy Assoviation relative to taking charge of the property at Glenbrook and putting the schorl in operation. There should be no difficulty in making a well conducted institution of learaing pay here. Dr. Sheltonis sail to bs a suscessful educator anda reliable gentlemen,and assuch he would be sure to receive liberal patronage. The Slingshot Nuisance. Several windows have recently been broken in buildings on upper Commercial street and lower Spr:ng street, the damage being done with slingshots manipulated by small boys. There is a city ordinance providing for the severe punishment of any person found in possession of a sling-hot, and Marshal Neale proposes to hereafter strictly enforce it. Boys who want to keep clear of trouble must keep clear of slingshots, Iv you have catarrh, you are in danger, as the disease is liable to become chronic and affect your general health, or develop into consumption.

Luce starte'l to walk from Glenbrook to Tahoe City. He had been laboring near there and concluded that’ he cou\d make the trip by walking cheaper than by taking the steamer. The distance ta be traveled was about 25 miles, and the path lay along the shore of the great lake. Nothing daunted, he started out with a heavy load of blankets on his back.’ The blankets seemed light at first, but as he trudged along, they grew heavier and heavier until at last he despaired of reaching his destination. While he was plodding wearily along the shore his eyes fell upon a couple of logs lying on the beach and a brilliant idea struck him. “What’s the matter with having a voyage?” he exclaimed. So he went to work and placed the two logs, which were about ten fet long and 16 inches in diameter, side by side in the water. Among the driftwood he found a board with some nails in it and by this means fastened them together. Then he put on sone more pieces of driftwood and taking a board for a paddle launched himself and his frail craft on the treacherous waters of ‘Tahoe. The lake was comparatively smooth, and « slight breeze carried him out into the middle of the inland ocean. It was slow work, however, and his craft made but little progress in the right direction. The afternoon sun dropped lower and lower and finally hid itseli behind the Rubicon range. Night came and he was miles from his destination, Darkness settled over all and with only the faint glimmer oi a star now and then through the thickening mist to cheer him in his lonely situation. The night was cold so the lonely voyager kindled a little fire on the raft and warmed himself by the.flickering flames, He felt lonely and deserted out there on the water and wished he was on the land again What if a storm should come? The thought shuddered him and he paddled on, yet not knowing whither he was going. At intervals he paddled through the long night, occasionally sleeping until chilled by the night air. Day dawned, but he was still far from his destination and soon a north wind came to battle his efforts. The wind was not strong, as luck would have it, or his frail raft must surely have broken and to gain the shore would have been impossible. All day long he paddled until the blisters came upon his hands while hunger ‘rohbed him of his strength. Night came again and the dark shaduws of the wooded mountains dipped themselves, first in the margin of the luke, then spread over the waters and the stars reflected their glimmering in the black depths. ' No fire this night, the wood all gone. Sothe navigator paddled on and on, cheered by the thoughts ot nearing land, for he could see the lights of the village a few imiles off. He suffered from the cold and iis hun ger made him faint. His arms ached, bis back ached and acute pains stung him in every part; The night wa long—oh, so long—and would he ever reach the shore? But the morning came at last and the rays of the misty light showe! him that his labors were nearly over, He was within a few hundred yards of a pint running out from near Tuhoe Cuy. He redoubled his exertions and shortly afterward he lay on the sandy completely exhausted. His limbs were ulmost paralyzed with the labor of over forty hours. Slowly he dragged his bedy to the village ana there obtained refreshments and rest. Saturday he came to Truckee and told his-story, biiefly remarking that he would sooner div than again navigate Tahoe on a couple of logs. * 4 Complaint. Eprron TraNnscript—Our present system of street lighting is somewhat of an improvement on none at all, and as long as it costs us as much as it does we ought to have the full benefit of it until midnight at least. The lights, as far as I have observed, are extinguished at. eleven o'clock «1 thereabout. Many people in our part of the town stuy out later than that a good shure of the time, and when we do we have to grope our way hume in stygian darkness to the imminent risk of lifeand limb, If we can’t have decent accommodations in this line so far as the streets are concerned, for heaven’s suke keep the lamps on Suspension bridge burning until 12 o’clock. Not only the ladies over our way, but the men us a rule, fear to cross that bridge without it is lit up. Piety Hi. oo Cucumbers iu Winter. City Trustee Tompkins yesterday presented the TRANScriIpT man witha iness of fine cucumbers fresh from the vines in his yarden on Water street. He has had them daily since the middle of last July to the present time. He sank barrels into the ground, leaving the tops projecting twelve or fourteen inches. These: barrels he filled partially with rich soil, then pfanted the seeds. The vines were by the wall of staves protected from the eirly and late frosts, also from the north winds, and for the care given them yield abundant and long continued returns, —_—_——— GarpEN and Vegetable seeds at Weisenburger Brother’. d8-1m Cuatrerpox and many other fine holiday books at Curr Bros. tf Fruit Wrees for Sale. . ooo T have 30,000 apple and Bartlett pear trees for seule at my nursery, Grass Valley. 46-20t Jas, T.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5th.—The_ questien of the division of Dakota Territory into two States is likely to be followed at no distant day by an agitation on the Part of the people of Southern Culifornia for the division of that commonwealth intotwo States. Today Representative Vandever, of the Sixth District of the State, introduced a bil into the House giving the consent of Congress to a division of the State into two States to be known as North California and South California. : The proposed line of division begins at the northeastern line of Alpine county,ucjacent to Nevada, a few miles below Lake Tahoe, and rans in an irregular southwestern direction across the State.on the lineof tha northern boundary of Alpine, Tuolumne, Merced, San Benito and Monterey counties, The full text of the bill is as follows: Section 1. The consent of Congress is openly given to a division of the State of California into two States, tu be called respectively North California and South California. Section 2. South California shall include in its boundaries all of the counties now constituting the Sixth Congressional District of California, to wit: the counties of Monterey, San Benito, Fresno, Tulare; Kern, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Diego,San Bernardino, Inyo, Mono and Alpine, together with the counties of Merced, Mariposa and Tuolomne. Section 3. North California sball include in its boundaries ull the remuining parts of the Siate of Culifornia not included in the boundaries of South California. Section 4. The division of the State of California as above indivated shall not take plice until after the question of State division has beon submitted to the peuple of the State at a regular election, us the Legislature of the State may determine and direct; and if a majority of the legal votes cast at such e ection shall be found to be in favor of such division, that fuct shall be nade known by proclamation of the Governor of the State,ufter which it shall be lawful for the paople cf each of the respective divisions of the State to form and adopt a Constitution and to enact laws for their government. The Noliuays And the cold winter weather are now rapidly approaching. The joyful season is eagerly anticipated by young folks in thousands of homes; but in nearly all there are one or more older ones to whom the cold waves and the storms mean renewed suffering from rheumatic back or limbs. It is not claimed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a positive specific forrheumatism; we doubt if there is or can be such a remedy. But the remarkable success Hood’s Sarsaparilla has had in curing this affection is sufficient reason for those who are suffering to try this peculiar medicine. .

F. Rosenra, —_—_—_— Worse and More of it. There have been about half a dozen changes in the railroad time-table, during the last few months, and each change was worse for railroad employes. and the public generally than. the preceding one. The change previous to the present one was thought to be just the very worst ever heard of for tuilroad employes. The last change has partially reversed things, and this time it is good for the railroad employes, although tough for the traveling public and the mail re eiving community. Heretofore we have had two trains a day, thereby receiving two mails a day from the West. Now there is but one train a day each way. This arrangement is a great inconvenience to our people; Besides, the passengers and mails now Ieaving San Fra ‘cisco at 3:30 in the afternoon and reaching Colfax at 11 at night are compelled to remain at Colfax until 5 o'clock the next sfternoun. They reach this city.at 6:50 p. at., being delayed at Colfax eighteen hours. Pussengers coming irom the E.st and mails arriving on the overland at 4 and 6 a. M. are delayed at Colfax thirteen hours. It is not likely that Manager Kidder of the Narrow Gauge Ra-lroad will allow such a state of affaire to exist any longer that he can complete his arrangements for the convenience of the traveling public and the people generally. No change evermade by the Railroad Company has created so inuch dissatisfaction as this one has. The Institute Party. The progress've whist party held at Hibernia Hall Thursday evening after the regular meeting of the Young Men’s Institute was a success. Ahoui a score of members of the Young Ladies Institute were present, making a total attendance of over forty ladies and gentlemen. The game began about nine o’clock and: lasted until near midnight. The first prze—a plush dressing case—was won by Misa Mannion, and the booby prize—-a toy goose2went to Miss Sudie O'Donnell. Of the gentlemen the highest score was made by Charles Grimes and the lowest by James Hunley, but they received no prizes. On the night they instal officers, which will be the 18th instant, the Young, Ladies’ Institute will entertain the Young Men’s Institute. Naturel Wash. During the summer and fall the deposit of slickensin Deer Creek, at this city has increased in depth about five feet. As there have been no hydraulic mines running on the watershed of the stream, the accumulation can be fairly attributed to ‘natural wash.” The storms of the winter will scour the channel and the raging torrent wily bear the rich silt from the foutbilldown to the Sacramento Valley, depositing it upon the impoverished hard_ pan of the anti-miners who live adjacent to the river. ee Looking at the Acadamy. Dr. Wm. Shelton arrived here Thursday evening from Los Angeles and is conferring with the Directors of the Nevada County Acadamy Assoviation relative to taking charge of the property at Glenbrook and putting the schorl in operation. There should be no difficulty in making a well conducted institution of learaing pay here. Dr. Sheltonis sail to bs a suscessful educator anda reliable gentlemen,and assuch he would be sure to receive liberal patronage. The Slingshot Nuisance. Several windows have recently been broken in buildings on upper Commercial street and lower Spr:ng street, the damage being done with slingshots manipulated by small boys.

Luce starte'l to walk from Glenbrook to Tahoe City. He had been laboring near there and concluded that’ he cou\d make the trip by walking cheaper than by taking the steamer. The distance ta be traveled was about 25 miles, and the path lay along the shore of the great lake. Nothing daunted, he started out with a heavy load of blankets on his back.’ The blankets seemed light at first, but as he trudged along, they grew heavier and heavier until at last he despaired of reaching his destination. While he was plodding wearily along the shore his eyes fell upon a couple of logs lying on the beach and a brilliant idea struck him. “What’s the matter with having a voyage?” he exclaimed. So he went to work and placed the two logs, which were about ten fet long and 16 inches in diameter, side by side in the water. Among the driftwood he found a board with some nails in it and by this means fastened them together. Then he put on sone more pieces of driftwood and taking a board for a paddle launched himself and his frail craft on the treacherous waters of ‘Tahoe. The lake was comparatively smooth, and « slight breeze carried him out into the middle of the inland ocean. It was slow work, however, and his craft made but little progress in the right direction. The afternoon sun dropped lower and lower and finally hid itseli behind the Rubicon range. Night came and he was miles from his destination, Darkness settled over all and with only the faint glimmer oi a star now and then through the thickening mist to cheer him in his lonely situation. The night was cold so the lonely voyager kindled a little fire on the raft and warmed himself by the.flickering flames, He felt lonely and deserted out there on the water and wished he was on the land again What if a storm should come? The thought shuddered him and he paddled on, yet not knowing whither he was going. At intervals he paddled through the long night, occasionally sleeping until chilled by the night air. Day dawned, but he was still far from his destination and soon a north wind came to battle his efforts. The wind was not strong, as luck would have it, or his frail raft must surely have broken and to gain the shore would have been impossible. All day long he paddled until the blisters came upon his hands while hunger ‘rohbed him of his strength. Night came again and the dark shaduws of the wooded mountains dipped themselves, first in the margin of the luke, then spread over the waters and the stars reflected their glimmering in the black depths. ' No fire this night, the wood all gone. Sothe navigator paddled on and on, cheered by the thoughts ot nearing land, for he could see the lights of the village a few imiles off. He suffered from the cold and iis hun ger made him faint. His arms ached, bis back ached and acute pains stung him in every part; The night wa long—oh, so long—and would he ever reach the shore? But the morning came at last and the rays of the misty light showe! him that his labors were nearly over, He was within a few hundred yards of a pint running out from near Tuhoe Cuy. He redoubled his exertions and shortly afterward he lay on the sandy completely exhausted. His limbs were ulmost paralyzed with the labor of over forty hours. Slowly he dragged his bedy to the village ana there obtained refreshments and rest. Saturday he came to Truckee and told his-story, biiefly remarking that he would sooner div than again navigate Tahoe on a couple of logs. * 4 Complaint. Eprron TraNnscript—Our present system of street lighting is somewhat of an improvement on none at all, and as long as it costs us as much as it does we ought to have the full benefit of it until midnight at least. The lights, as far as I have observed, are extinguished at. eleven o'clock «1 thereabout. Many people in our part of the town stuy out later than that a good shure of the time, and when we do we have to grope our way hume in stygian darkness to the imminent risk of lifeand limb, If we can’t have decent accommodations in this line so far as the streets are concerned, for heaven’s suke keep the lamps on Suspension bridge burning until 12 o’clock. Not only the ladies over our way, but the men us a rule, fear to cross that bridge without it is lit up. Piety Hi. oo Cucumbers iu Winter.

He has had them daily since the middle of last July to the present time. He sank barrels into the ground, leaving the tops projecting twelve or fourteen inches. These: barrels he filled partially with rich soil, then pfanted the seeds. The vines were by the wall of staves protected from the eirly and late frosts, also from the north winds, and for the care given them yield abundant and long continued returns, —_—_——— GarpEN and Vegetable seeds at Weisenburger Brother’. d8-1m Cuatrerpox and many other fine holiday books at Curr Bros. tf Fruit Wrees for Sale. . ooo T have 30,000 apple and Bartlett pear trees for seule at my nursery, Grass Valley. 46-20t Jas, T.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5th.—The_ questien of the division of Dakota Territory into two States is likely to be followed at no distant day by an agitation on the Part of the people of Southern Culifornia for the division of that commonwealth intotwo States. Today Representative Vandever, of the Sixth District of the State, introduced a bil into the House giving the consent of Congress to a division of the State into two States to be known as North California and South California. : The proposed line of division begins at the northeastern line of Alpine county,ucjacent to Nevada, a few miles below Lake Tahoe, and rans in an irregular southwestern direction across the State.on the lineof tha northern boundary of Alpine, Tuolumne, Merced, San Benito and Monterey counties, The full text of the bill is as follows: Section 1. The consent of Congress is openly given to a division of the State of California into two States, tu be called respectively North California and South California. Section 2. South California shall include in its boundaries all of the counties now constituting the Sixth Congressional District of California, to wit: the counties of Monterey, San Benito, Fresno, Tulare; Kern, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Diego,San Bernardino, Inyo, Mono and Alpine, together with the counties of Merced, Mariposa and Tuolomne. Section 3. North California sball include in its boundaries ull the remuining parts of the Siate of Culifornia not included in the boundaries of South California. Section 4. The division of the State of California as above indivated shall not take plice until after the question of State division has beon submitted to the peuple of the State at a regular election, us the Legislature of the State may determine and direct; and if a majority of the legal votes cast at such e ection shall be found to be in favor of such division, that fuct shall be nade known by proclamation of the Governor of the State,ufter which it shall be lawful for the paople cf each of the respective divisions of the State to form and adopt a Constitution and to enact laws for their government. The Noliuays And the cold winter weather are now rapidly approaching. The joyful season is eagerly anticipated by young folks in thousands of homes; but in nearly all there are one or more older ones to whom the cold waves and the storms mean renewed suffering from rheumatic back or limbs. It is not claimed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a positive specific forrheumatism; we doubt if there is or can be such a remedy. But the remarkable success Hood’s Sarsaparilla has had in curing this affection is sufficient reason for those who are suffering to try this peculiar medicine. .
