NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA.
' SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1869.
AMUSEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT.—

ment for the brothers, friends and sons
_at home, by making home more agreea~
ble and attractive. The paper says on
this point: :
“Let their wives, daughters, or sisters furnish entertainment at home.—:
Let private sociability be increased, and
public dissipation will diminish,”
~Phere is-undoubtedly much of truth
in this, and the presence of intelligent
and agreeablé-women in any commuuity is a strong réstraint upon wickedness, but we doubt if any 1efinement or
-Ontertainment will satisfythe tastes of
those who find enjoyment in suchexhibitions as the can-can. In the city
of San Francisco, and in fact in all the
large cities where there is no dearth of
refined entertainment, these exhibitions
of a lower order flourish and are more
prosperous than in country places.—
There is no doubt some blame to be attached to society fer these exhibitions,
but the great fault is in those who
patronize them.
~~ But there is little use in denunciation, as this does not reach the evil,and .
will not therefore bring the remedy.—
Denunciation is but advertising. The
true remedy lies in the education of the
public sentiment .to such—a—standard
that other amusements and recreations
will be appreciated. The first and most
whose tastes lead them té such exhibitions. With those who are surrounded and within reach of refined female
influences, this can be done as the Wational suggests, through the home and
social circle. But there is still a large
class beyond the reach of these influ~~eneps, who--can~ only be~-reached after
long and patient labor. In such communities as this, there are few who go
on account of vitiated tastes. By far the
Jarger class would—prefer a. respectable
entertainment, and therefore it should
be the policy of all who would discour-.
age these exhibitions to supply the demand for recreation and amusement’
with others more respectable. Pleas-ant social parties, where friends aid
neighbors meet, cheerful social gatherings in the home circle are excellent
antidotes aud will do much to discoure
-agesuch things. But there should be
a still more potent influence to lead
the minds of the young especially to
improvement as well as to pleasure.—
The lecture room inconnection with
many of the churches in the larger cities is doing great good’in this direction,
In Beecher’s-and many—other churches,
social meetings are held once a week,
not for religious instruction, but for
the purpose of arousing in the minds of
the young a desire for information.—
These meetings are largely attended,
and with the young. study becomes a
pleasure. The object of good people
should be directed to instructing as
well as amusing the people, and if,
‘while denouncing wrong, the reformers
ments a right direction, to purgt” fliém
of evil, and to” make research more
pleasant, much more good would be ac~
complished,

‘The Watignal. ii an article on amusements, takes the ground that the can.

of other amusements, and that the true
_i ‘way to crush out-such exhibitions is to

Grass VALLEY lrems.—The following we condense from the National :

‘The Empire Mining Company started

which they purchased from Rush &
Laton about three years ago. — This
claim is located about 1,500 feet-east-of
are now cleaning out the old tunnel,
and intend to sink “a shaft, put up a
pumping engine, and erect hoistin
works.
* The following we get from the Union:
The talk is that three or Mur tickets
will be run for Town Trustees,
Two amateurs played a matched game
at billiards, in which it took the best
player fourteen minutes and three sec-—
ands to make fifty points.
Some one has offered a Grass Valley
candidate for Marshal $200 to'draw off
‘the course, whereat the would-be-Marshal indignantly declares that he is not
to be bribed. i
Michel, of Isoard & Co., is looking
about Grass Valley to secure “food for
worins,” that is, silk worms. He wants
to securé-all the mulberry trees next
season, in order that Isoard may have
leaves enough tofeed the large number
he proposes to raise. fe
THE culture of the fig in California
promises to become one of the most lucrative branches of horticulture in the’
State. The Folsom Telegraph says, in
regard to the fig culture in that vicinity:
that Humphrey & Berry of Folsom are
planting out an orchard of fig trees -at
Mormon Island. They have already
400 rooted trees in the ground and are
rooting 600 more. The trees-were roote
ed by J. F. Devol -in Folsom, =the slips
being from several Smyrna fig trees,
growing in Davol’s garden, which producé a large, luscious brown fig, nearly
and, when cured and boxed, superior to
the ordinary fig of commerce. The fig
grows splendidly on the foothills, and
already the young figs of thig variety
are appearing upon the trees.
THE Gotp Hitt Disasrer.—The
following additional particulars of the
Gold Hill disaster, is from dispatches to
the Sacramento Union-of yesterday ;—
All‘of those taken from the mine have
the appearance of having died a most
painful death—features flushed and
swollen and distorted. One was found
hanging by a ladder if a shaft with one
leg fastened, holding with a death grip
with both hands to the ladder. Some
were found in the dump at the 1,100
level, where they had fallen from the
levels above; but the most were found
in the 1,000 foot level of the Crown
positions as they fel: Some are terribly disfigured—one se.much so as to be
unrecognizable. George Bickell, who
was hoisted out alive, died at noon next
day. Funerals. have been numerous
to-day, and attended by: the Military,
Firemen, Odd _ Fellows and Miners’
Union organizations, Twenty-cight
‘bodies in all have now been recovered,
and it is thought there may still be
eight more in the drifts. At 10 o'clock
on the evening of the 8th the fire was
still burning on the 900foot level.—
Eleven of those killed have" families,
aud two of them five ‘children each.
THE Gold Hill News says carbonic
acid gas was the chief cause of death to
the miners. This poisonous gas was
were at work, and almost instantly
smothered them as ‘soon as they ins
haled it.

CULTIVATION oF SILK.—The Sacramento Union says: “The Nevada Coun.
. ty papers-are on the right track in encouraging the planting of mulberry
trees, and the breeding of silk worms
in;jthat part of the country.” After
} speaking of the advantages of the val‘ley-of the Sacraménto for silk raising,
that paper adds: ‘We think that the
foot hills afford quite as good, if not a
better climate.for the health of’ the
worms, as this. The only question in
doubt is whether the mulberry tree can
be -as cheaply grown there as here.
That settled tavorably, we should predict that sericulture will some day-bemountain region and result in its general prosperity. At all events, the Ne—
vada people are wise in thus early giving it a fair trial. Failure will not setiously injure them, while success
would be immeasurably to the advantage of their section.”
Tne Hartford Times wrote that Mr.
Stewart was the greatest “importer”
in the country. It was printed that he
was the greatest “imposter.” The editor apologizes for the . blunder.
