be remunerated for their public spirit and liberal outlay.
GRASS VALLEY AND ILLINOISTOWN
TURNPIKE.
This road is now completed to Clipper Gap and Auburn, the latter place being for the present the terminus of
the Pacific Railroad. This highway affords every facility to the traveling public. It is amply supplied with water.
THE GRADES ARE EASY,
And it is the NEAREST and without comparison

PIPE-LAYING.—The proprietors of the City Gas Works are causing their main pipe to be extended
on Broad street from its junction with Commercial street to the junction of East and West Broad streets.
Messrs. Sargent, Tisdale, Haas and perhaps other citizens residing in that locality desire to have gas
introduced into their dwelling-houses. The works are also being repaired and put in complete order.
COUNTY COURT—MaAyY TERM 1865—HON. A. C. NILES PRESIDING.—This Court met yesterday
morning, when the following business was transacted:
The People vs. Charles Irwin—Second conviction for grand larceny. Sentenced to one year’s
imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
The People vs. George Sneath—Indicted for grand larceny. On trial.

plastering will be finished as soon as possible. The work has lagged heretofore, not from want of energy
on the part of the trustees or contractor, but simply because hands could not be obtained to push it
forward. That difficulty will be partly remedied this week, and the work will go on rapidly.
CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH.—We observe that in many parts of the State preparations are
being made for the celebration of the Fourth of July, and we would suggest that it is not too early for our
citizens to take some steps in that direction. . . . Let us celebrate our National anniversary with a pomp
surpassing that of any former occasion. There is no reason why we cannot or should not do so. ...
THAT NEW ORDER.—By a notice in another column it will be seen that a Council of the Ancient
Oriental Order of Humility has been established in this city, which will meet to-night. We are told that the
chief feature of this organization is the doctrine of humility, and its prominent characteristic, benevolence.
We wish it much success.
O. O. OF A. H.—Several “Councils” of this order have been established in this country, deriving
their charters from a Grand Temple in San Francisco. J. C. Garber, of Red Dog, has issued the following
proclamation, which speaks for itself:
