GRASS VALLEY, May 2sth, 1853.
Ms. EDIroR:-A very aeetous CORES
pondent in your last paper, registering
himself from Grass Valley, and over
the signature of W. G. s., attempts to
deduce, show up, and rebuke the pre-
vailing custom of calling upon our citi-
zsns for subscriptions to aid in accom-
plishing every frivolous object that the
fancy or caprice of any person or per-
CONS may suggest, and the May-day
Party is instanced rs an example of
these frivolous objects,
Now, MIR. Editor, w. G. S. has q
perfect right toregard, and indeed, no
one will have any objection to it what
ever, blooming girls as withered bel
DANES, the moon as made of "green
cheese" the refinement and exaltation
of children frivolous" and the Ameri-
can Revolution as q farce; these are al
matters upon which the freedom of
thought allows every one to entertain
such views as may seem fit. Before the
stupendous conceptions of W. G. S. the
May-day Festivities may. truly have
been regarded as very childish and
frivolous affair; but while on the one
hand we congratulate w. G. S. on the
possession of ideas so exalted and super
human, we beg Of him that he would
lock with becoming charity on the in
ferior constitution and shortcomings of
other less favored terrestrials.
But against the tales of MADAME
Rumor," from whom w. G. S. quotes
most copiously, pride, duty and justice,
to say nothing of gallantry, Gospel us
to demonstrate in terms most decided
and unmistakable.
w. G s. Madame Rumor" has told
you pack of Infamous lies, alike dero-
gatory to our fair women and lovely
Valley. AS in the able supplementary
note to your communication, by the
editor, he's gained women friends by
scores) MADAME Rumor" is "a notorious
liar" and l conjure you, w. G. s., by
your success and well being in society
to turn deaf ear to her sayings in all
time to come. She will ruin you,
my dear fellow, (that is if you wear
breeches,) and seseech you, by dearest
relations in life, to keep your cognomen
Sub Iosa," for if MADAME Rumor" is 30
vile as to tell on you, Tam OShanter
had ne'er been in a worse fix than you,
encompassed hauntings Of these gentle
DANES Listen at her vile old crea-
ture. In the hrst place, "Very Proba-
BILE" reports our fair daughters as hav-
ing collected several hundred dollars
for picnic purposes, as then MADAME
Rumor" accuses them of embezzling a
great part of this amount and appropri-
ating it to the building of church edi.
fee. Now, every Probable has lied,
for the amount collected was but little
more than one hundred dollars, this
| am informed voluntarily by those i'm
mediately interested; for certainly, ]
could not be so indelicats as to inquire
into matter Of this sort, and thus ques-
tion the probity of our lovely women, J
and the excess, about fifty two dollars,
after paying the expenses of our de-
lightfal picnic, has been appropriated
to the purehase Of S. S. Library for
the children.
And, Grass Valley renowned through
out the State, and the Atlantic country,
and even in Europe, as pre-eminent for
beauty, refinement and morality, must
indeed be behind her fame if she is
obliged to resort to false pretenses to
build temples to our God, and these too,
through the instrumentality Of oar guile
less women w. G. S., you are unfor-
tunately duped; old "Very Probable"
and Madame Rumorn are the most
mischevous, mean, and fuss-making cou-
pie that were ever allied. Take care
of yourself my dear fellow-love the
women and gallantly stick to them
right or tcrong, and never let this mis-
erable league again impose on your
credulity.
The cause of temperance is gaining
favor; the Sons already number about
eighty, and limitations are getting nu-
merous at almost every meeting.
The Masonic Lodge in this place have
received their charter, and the cere-
mony of installation of officers toek place

Hall. A Numerous fraternity, arrayed
in their regalia, and decorated with
badgas and authoritative emblems, to-
gether with large assemblage of fine
dressed ladies and gentlemen, filled the
house to overfowing, and presented an
uncommon spectacle Of splendor and in
terest. The ceremony was dignifed,
imposing, highly interesting, and incul-
Gated the noblest principles and senti-
ments known among men. Zenas Whee-
