NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. ' SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1869. AMUSEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT.— _ furnish refined entertainmenis. It sug_ @ests that the ladies, instead of attemptne mycin eerie tai en PON nt » difficult thing is to reach those persons -—would make an effort to give amuseforce, furnish entertainment and amuse. 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, opegrrmmene ree lh ele ge tt hana MN : ener CCAM ELE A ARE RRL A AE LSB . ale and deposited in the Museum of the —e= —=t ‘\ THIRTEEN MILLions.—In answer to an-efficial inquiry, the President states the American claim against Great ‘Britain fOractual damages dane by the amount to over which together were worth over thi THERE are 400 joint stock co now in process of liquidation in ‘ don, .

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. -_ A, LADY in Lowell, Mass., who has kept crape on. the knob of her house singé:thé assassination of President Lingéla, removed it on inauguration Tae New Orleans Times’ gives the opinion of a Western agriculturalist that the ice crop throughout the coun: try has not been injured by the frost is winter. ing former residents of Grass Valley :— . the Rocky Bar-House,.

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. } r —_—— . BORN. —— In Grass Valley, April 7th, 1869, to the wife of M.
