DEATH IN THE STATION HoUsE. An
inquest was held in the Station House
by Coroner Gray yesterday, upon the
body of one of the prisoners confined
there, who died the night before. The
deceased was an elderly Frenchman, by
the name of Constilla, who was arrested
some time since, and being found to be
insane, was sent by the Recorder to the
Stockton Hospital. He was either dis.
charged or escaped from that institution,
and made his appearance in this city
some days ago. He loitered around the
Ell Dorado, apparently quite destitute,
and was suffered to sleep there few
nights. On Sunday night Police Off
Ger brought him to the Station House in
q very debilitated state and under the
influence of liquor. The Recorcer d.
rected that he should be detained until
some more proper disposition couN be
made Of his case. A little before two
O'Clock this morning he asked for glass
of water, which was given him, and
shortly afterwards he was found to be
dead. The Coroner's Jury found in their
verdict, that the deceased had perished
from "disease of the brain and destitu.
tion. ."--Hersld, 25h.

The Fate of Delinauent Subscribe,

The Fate of Delinquent Subscribers.
-Br. Markham of the Waterviile Mail
thus chronicles the sad fate of a man
who neglected to "pay for his paper"
We hope all newspaper subscribers
will take warning:
Thomas H. Moor, of North New
Portland, who owes for the Mail near
ly five years, has gone to California,
anl the p. M. notifies us of the fact.
If any of our numerous subscribers in
California should see Thomas, we wish
they would give him our respects
Poor fellow we predict for him sad
fate We had similar case a year
ago. The man never arrived there,
but was knocked in the head on the
Isthmus, and his body eaten up by the
wolves.

THEATRE.-We take great pleasure in
announcing that the brilliant theatrical
corps, who have played here (and at
Grass Valley for nearly three months,
have been rendered by eur most promi-
nent and influential citizens, q CoMpLI-
MENTARY BENEFIT, to take place to-mor-
row, New Years Night. The bill for
the evening is that excellent play, new
er before performed here, "Virginius, or
the Roman Father" and the sprightly
comidetta of "Riches VS.. Contentment.n y
Mr.. Waller appears as Virginius; Mrs.
Waller as Virginia; Booth as Icilius !;
Gates as Appius Claudius; Tuthill as
Dentatus; Spear as Numitarius; Barry
as Titus, and Christopher Strap in the
last piece. This unanimous proffer,
coming as it does from so respectable a
class, is another satisfactory evidence of
the high esteem and appreciation in
which this company is held. During
their sojourn with u.s. the pieces presen-
ted have been put on the stage in that
style of legitimate excellence, correct
conception of character, and strict re-
gard to costumes and appointments,
which fails not to please the most fasti-
dious. We have no hesitation in sta
ting that Mr.. and Mrs. Waller, with
their able seconds, have given us "Ham-
let" "Brutus," "Richelieu," Merchant
of Venice" and STRANGER" in a style
that cannot be surpassed by any other
Theatre in California.
We understand this company's en-
gagements below prevents their appear
ing after tomorrow evening. We hope
10 see crowded house, and would sug-
gest the propriety of going early to Sc
cure seats.

Observation-Disclosures the un-
favorable weather, fair amount of bu-
siness has been done to-day. The stea-
mers New World and Free Trade, which
left for Sacramento this afternoon, went
loaded with freight. We understand
that considerable quantities of goods are
being taken from Sacramento in scows
and steamers Of light draught, up the
American river, TO meet the wagons at
the back of the city-Heraid, 25M.
The Sacramento Col fornian says -
Stove wood is selling at the rate of $50
per cord four feet wood is worth SIS
per cord. Hay is selling from $50 to
$l20 per ton, according to quality, and
scarce at that.
December eth. = Although the day
proved fine throughout, there were few
buyers in the market, and the amount
of business transacted has been smaller
than we have observed for some days
back. The Flour market appears to be
steadily declining. To-day sales of Chile
were generally effected at $40 so to 500
per 100 lbs Oats are in more demand.
and are firm at lie. Barley is still
held at 4 l-2 and 3-4c., but We anti
cipate slight decline in this article
the supply in market at present is large.
In Potatoes there is firmer feeling,
with an inclination to advance 5 l-2
ald &c. appear to be the ruling rates,
but we hear of some few transac tons
still higher. We note few transac-
tions of Clear Pork at SAG per barrel.
The demand for Butter continues good
No. l Goshen in large packages we
quote at AZ and 48c small sos. Ada

Narysuiile, December 23d Since our
last report we have had another food,
which has abated. For two days busi-
ness was again brisk but to-day another
rain has commenced, the end Of which
no man can foresee. There is an i'm
mense quantity of snow in the mountains
but the weather is cold. That there
will be another flood this season there
can be no doubt, but we hope, for the
safety of the citizens Of the mountains
it may be deferred. We have no figures
to change. Flour is still selling al Ss2

The Other Side.

GRASS VALLEY, DEC. goth.
Mr.. EDIToR-In reply to an article from
the "Pick and Shovel Miner" we would re-
ply first, that we think he has assumed a cog-
nomen that does not properly belong to him,
but like the Hypocrit described by Pollock,
"who steals the livery of the Court of Hea-
ven to serve the devil in," he has stolen an
honorable title ts serve his low designs to-
wards men who are too well-known in the
community to be injured by the low slang OF
such men, or be intimidated by the threats
Of such. We should think the writer OF the
article spoken of would inform himself bet
ter before writing as to the company and the
gentlemen at its head, towards whom his IN
solent and graceless etfusons are directed
We hattcr ourselves that the community do
not believe our company to be composed OF
dangerous men, whose aim is antagonistical
to the interests of the mining community Of
Grass Valley.
Mr.. G. Furgurson is President OF the En-
pire Co. j. Z. Stone is ditch master. Both
are practical miners, and if they possess any
pecuniary standing in the community they
are indebt I'd for it TO their hard labor at min
ing. The entire company is composed of
ls members-mcn who have been engaged
steadily at mining in This place from the fall
OF CU 10 tuC pTcScnt tiiiC' i uC GinpuC
Co. have about $4,000 invested in their
bitches, the fruit of the labor of her eighteen
members for the last two years. No sooner
had they accomplished the hard undertaking
of bringing water TO position that it could
be used to advantage, than the green-eyed
monster, with all the majesty and awe that
attends him, begins to try and effect a pre-
iudice against them and even threatens
them We don't know what his threats
mean, unless that lc intends to take from us
our bitches, our homes, and peradventure
our money, out Of our pockets. There are
number of men in our community, and
are sorry there arc so many whose only vir-
tue is idencss. AS soon as they sec good
thing in the hands of other men, they raise
up hue and cry against them and jump or
st.al away their right. The Empire Co.
have at this time no claims, the last having
been taken away from them, and we presume
they are the only nen in Grass Valley that
have no right to hold at least one claim each,
and VIC don't know why except that they
have been engaged since April last in cut
ting ditch SO as to get water to their claims,
thereby forfeiting all right to all claims.
We should like TO hear the name of 'Thc
Pick and Shovel Miner" that we may be
corrected if we believe wrong in thinking
him one Of those land sharks, who never
have any thing except what they take from
honest men.
Mcssrs. Smith & Co, and the Gold Hill
Company, we are not interested and have
nothing to say.

THE EMIGRATION TO OREGON. The
people of Oregon will soon be applying
to Congress for admission into the Union
as full blown State. 1t is estimated
they have received an accession to their
population of at least 90, 1000 by The EN-
igration across the Plains this year.
Most Of the emigrants have settled in
the southern portion of the Territory,
but the country north of the Columbia
and round about Puget's Sound is highly
spoken of and is beginning to attract
considerable attention.
sa- The storms OF the last few weeks
have visited all parts of the State, from
the Colorado to the Klamath. In Il
south all the rivers have been raised by
the rains, and, bursting their bounds,
have overfowed the surrounding coun-
try, carried off all the bridges and fei-
res stopped all communication with the
Interior and seriously damaged the pros
pect of the farmars and rancheros on
their banks. Provisions in that, as in
the northern section of the state, are
exceedingly scarce and NIL communica-
ton with the sources Of supply is cut off.
While these disagreeable effects have
resulted from the rains, it is gratifying
to note that the mines were never yiel-
ding so we'll. Should the present fair
weather continue we shall look for an
unusually prosperous season for the mi
ners.-Herald.
