Mrs. Goad applied to District Attorney Nilon Saturday morning to begin criminal proceedings against Carter for the _recovery of the watch, chain, -cane, éte., which she claims he got from her with the understanding that she “would soon become Mrs. Carter.

He was known to everybody here and enjoyed the respect of all, as he was. an honest, industrious and temperate man, From’ this city he went to Virginia City which has since been his home. He was at the time of his death timberman in the Belcher mine. He helonged to the Odd Fellows, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Miners Union and other organizations, Not Wilsons Remains, Says the Union: Justice Paynter, acting Coroner, went up to Washing. ton Township.on Wednesday and held an inquest on the remains of @ man foundin the rough country several miles southeast of the Central Houge toward Deer Creek. To all appearances the remains had lain -where found from six to twelye months. There was some flesh left on the skeleton, but the skull was missing. size. The clothing that was rotting was of good quality. There was nothing found to lead to the identity, only a jack-knife being found in the clothing. A Coroner’s jury found a verdict according to these facts. The remains were buried where found. None of the residents of that section had any knowledge of a missing man, except Wilson, the shakemaker, who recently disappeared, but they could not possibly be his, “Grass Valley's New Paper. Rufus Shoemuker’s new evening paper, the Grass Valley Telegraph, will make its first appearance on or about the 11th instant, It will be smaller in dimensions than either the Tidings or the Union, It is stated that Mr. Shoemaker has purchased the material of thé defunct San Juan Times to be used in, printing the Telegraph.

Saturday afternoon while Wm, Celio Hill, his horse suddenly became vicious and kicked violently, striking . Mr, Celio on the breast and arms, and Hie Talk to Young Men at the Baptist Church Friday Night, Harry Watkins, ‘the reformed Texas cow boy,’’ had a fair-sized audience at the Baptist Church Friday evening. A hymn was sung by the congregation, Mr. Watkins read the 13th chapter of First Corinthians, pastor Lennie prayed, and then Mr, Watkins said: ‘When the queen of the Naiads arose from the pearly grottoes of the rolling deep, she tripped lightly o’er its glassy waves, and sounding her lyre called the mermaids—the laughing daughters of the sea—around her, then unfurled a banner and displayed upon its streaming folds, ‘Take Care of the Present and then the Future will Take Care of Itself,’ i ‘The present is all we have; the past is gone, and the future is before ue. e have the present with its heart aches, its sufferings, its trials, its pleasures and its disappointments. ~The Greeks belicved that the past lay far back behind the snow-clad summit of Olympus in the keeping of @ goddess; that the future was given into the hands of the fates and the oracles and they alone could roll back the mystic curtain that enshrouded the dread hereafter. ‘But they believed the present was given to man. It is ours, and none, neither the judge up-. on the bench nor the king upon the throne, can deprive us of this most noble gilt which God has given alike to allthis children, To some He has given one, two or even five talents, Some have inscribed their names high, others; anhenored and unknown, in lethargy und sin. have’ passed their lowly lives, buried their talents and filled a premature grave; but to-all He has given the present. “Tt hasbeen said circumstances make us what we are; but men make their own circumstances, The silvertongued hero whose voice thunders in the Senate halls, moving multitudes by his thrilling eloquence—did cireumstances weave the laurel around his brow? Ask him, and he will tell you that he made himself what he is; that he consecrated his time and_ talents to one purpose in life; that when the clouds lowered dark ‘and heavy he waited in patience till the sun burst forth again, “And visit the lonely prison cell and find there the felon who lies shackled by the fetters of dishonor, and ask him if circumatances placed the band of imfamy upon him. If he speaks the truth, He will tell you that for him hope once bloomed, for him prospects once brightened; but, alas! he took his fate in his own hand. He yielded to the enchantments of sin and fell to rise no more,” ; Here he exhorted the young men to take tare of the present and accept salvation now before it was ‘‘everlastingly too late.” He said he sympathized with the fallen, and that his own experience had been a sad one. He eloquently drew a picture of the average young man leaving his home on a pathway which was beautiful at the beginning but blasted at the end. He described the Good Angel and the Bad Angel struggling for the sonl, The young man listened to the Bad Angel and was ruined. “In speaking of his own home and childhood he said; ‘I know of no ketter description of heaven than to call it home. During the late cruel and destructive war, the two great armies camped on either side of a stream, The band of the Northern army played the national air and the Northern men cheered and cheered, Then the band of the Southern army played Dixie, and the southern soldiers ull cheered and cheered. Then one of the bands struck up ‘‘Home, Sweet Home,” which was joined in by the other, and the soldiers all be. gan toweep,._They had met there fer hatred and revenge, but hatred was turned into love and revenge into tears. They thought of home, home, home, sweet hone. ‘*In the hardest heart, and least reflective mine,” he continued, ‘‘we find a remembrance of home. Well do I remember the morning I left my sunny, southern home, “Spare; spare; the old homestead, T’is dear to me yet, om The dear happy home of my childhood I never, never can forget." He told of his wanderings. He said he had a drunken row in a gambling hell. at Fort Worth, Texas. He was arrested and placed in jail, While there he had pneumonia. The county physician was sent for, The doctor came ‘with 4 careless manner and with his cigar in his mouth, knelt by his side, and said that he was dying. In describing his incarceration: he repeated the following lines; “Tam dying, slowly dying, Here on my pellet hard, While the echo mocks my sighing In thie dismal prison ward. No sound of a petition, : Goes upward-for my sake, They call me in derision— . & jail bird—a human wreck.

Senator M. 11. Mead of Sierra county has introduced the following in the legislature : Whereas, The‘ navigation of the Sacramento and Feather rivers is of great commercial importance to the people of the State of California, as affording the means of cheap transportation for the immen:e crop of wheat and other agricultural products raised upon the rich alluvial land through which they flow; also important as channels for the drainage of the Sacramento Valley, for which purposes these rivers, once by reason of the deposits of gravel and sand in their channels. The accumulation of this debris in these rivers is the result of work done in the gold mines during the thirty-seven years immediately preceding eighteen hundred and eighty-six; and whereas, upon the discovery of the gold fields in California, the Government, of the United States adopted and ever since pursued a new and most liberal policy thereto, to wit; to encourage and promote mining for gold; it permitted any and all persons from any .part of the habitable world to come to California, take up, occupy, own and work out “mining claims” free of charge affording protection to person_and— property alike to alien and citizen. Within two years after the ‘discovery of gold,” this generous poliqy brought to our mines over forty thousand enterprising, industrious, hardy and brave men, armed with pick and shovel, at least one half of whom, in their search for gold, were contributing their proportion of the debris now obstructing the navigation of these rivers. Thuse men have passed away to be replaced. by others. . But be itremembered og during these years the miners of Cal fornia had given to the world one billion two hundred million dollars, thereby saving the people of the United States from the calamities of more than one financial disaster, and perhaps affording the Federal Union the means to preserve its integrity ; and whereas, by straightening, widen. ing, and embanking the. rivers. of aforesaid, many hundreds of thousands of acres of land, composed of a deep, rich, alluvial soil, situated-in a climate of unsurpassed salubriousness, can be reclaimed and brought into a state of the greatest productiveness; and whereas, the debris, now the cause of great inconvenience, and almost destroying the navigability of these Streams, can be profitably employed in the construction of embank:ients and the reclamation of the rich lands adjacent to the rivers, and not submerged with water, Believing that this improvement will be followed by an increase of commerce that will add to the wealth of the cities and towns situated upon their banks, and enable the miners working under the present process to pursue their avccation without injury to their neighbors of the. valley; therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate, the Assembly concurring, That our Senators and Representatives in Congress be and they are hereby requested to use all honorable means. to procure an appropriation from Congress, in the sum of two million of dollars, to be expended in the restoration ot the navigation of the Sacramento and Feather rivers, from the heads of navigation, respectively, ta the bay of San Francisco; and be it further Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor of the State of California, be and he is hereby requested to-forward acopy of this preamble and resolutions to each of the Senators and Reprexentatives in Congress from this State, duly attested by him, Thursday evening George Zinc’s Wear Round Mountaiy in-this township, was destroyed by fire.

Valantine Unexpectede hy Stricken Down. About 8:30 o’clock Friday evening while Dr, H. W, Valantine was sitting in his office at the corner of Broad and Pine streets, and was engaged in reading a buok, he began to feel dizzy. He took from his vest pocket a small bottle of spirits of ammonia and was about to inhale its fumes when his hand became powerless and the bottle fell to the floor, At the same moment his spectacles fell upon the carpet. He realized that something was wrong and going to the door that leads into the hallway called for'assistance. Obtaining no response he went back into the office, picked up his spectacles with his left hand, placed the desk in order, extinguished the light, brought in the hall lamp from its bracket and ‘extinguished that, then locked his door and descending the stairs started for home. He continued to grow worse ashe walked along, and when he reached Carr Brothers’ drugstore went in there reeling like a drunken man. The occupants of the store thought he was joking. As he stepped behind the prescription case and asked Mr. Belden for some medicine, he began to sink to the floor, T. H, Carr and Mr. Belden caught him and carried him into Dr. Waggoner’s office. He was by this time helpless, Dr, Waggoner was summoned and found upon. examination that his right side and libs were paralyzed. He was taken in a wagon to his home on Main street. He ia at this writing in a critical condition, He retains his power of speech and mehial faculties, but says himeelf that he cannot by any ibility recover. Suturday afternit was thought that he. talked less readily thanin the morning, and he expressed a desire to arrange for the disposition of his estate. Rev. Wm. Angwinspent a portion of the afternoon with him, ’ About two years ago as Dr. Valan‘tine was coming from his home to his office.one-night after dark, and was passing along Winter street, a dog ran between his legs and he fell heavily to the-ground, striking upon—hisright-. . side, Since that night he has at frequent intervals felt that something ‘was wrong with him. When reading his right eye has shown a weakness, and his right arm tired very quickly when writing. He has also occasionally complained of nambness in his arm and has used a battery some for the purpose of securing relief.~ ‘Dr. Valantine is about 68 years old and has always been regarded as a man of unsually powerful ‘constitution, Few men of his years display the energy and activity that have been common to him. He came here twelve or thirteen years ago with his family from’ New Brunswick, and has been successfully and extensively en> gaged in the practice of medicine. He has a wife; also’ two daughters and.two.sons who are grown, He has many warm friends who will be deeply pained to. learn. of his unfortunate condition, The Forger’s Baggage. Marshal Neagle brought up from Grass Valley Friday evening the baggage of Jeffries alias McIntosh who now languishes in the county jail awaiting examination on a charge of forgery, It consists of a valise containing a full suit of clothes, some undergarments and other articles such as men affect, There was nothing of a contraband nature in it, The check which the prisoner left at the bank of Weissbein Bros. in Grass Valley is not the same one he endeavored to pass at some of the other Lecture by Assemblyman sims.

Theretofore, while important bills were being read for the third time and were upon final passage, one-third of the Senate would be absent without leave, and often there would hardly bea quorum present. A ‘call of the House” would be ordered, the doors shut, absent members arrested and excused immediately upon being brought before the bar of the Senate. It was therefore with considerable surpriset hat Senatora Preston and Boggs on Thursday afternoon found that the patience of the Senate had been exhausted and that instead of excusing their absence the Senate had voted to fine them each $2. Later on Senator Murphy, one of the hardest workers, was dumfounded at etting fined $2. Senator Preston gave as an excuse that he was ubsent trying to get his warrant cashed. If fined he he voted to fine himaelf and Boggs as a horrible example.
