Town ORaANIzAT1oy--The fact must be
apparent to every one that this city for the past
six months has been greatly reformed in the
matter Of quietude and sobriety. Scarcely ever
now is there an instance Of street fight or
other disturbance by day or night. Those
who remember the state Of things as they ex'
listed before the present town government, must
be conscious that the money expended for the
support Of the government is not entirely wasted
It is great comfort to the well-disposed tc
have quiet streets, most especially on Sundays
The large crowds that fill the streets on that day
are now uniformly peaceable, and those who
reverence the day are not shocked by tumult
and noise. Several ordinances have lately been
past respecting nuisances We trust the cor
poration officers will not lose sight of the mat
ter, but for the sake of the health of the place
see them rigidly enforced.

CLOSING BUSINESS ON SUNDAY.-We are
glad to be able to state that all the blacksmith
shops but one are now by agreement closed on
Sundays in this town. We trust the excel
lent example will be followed by other profes-
sions. California has now settled into so much
of regular state, with families, society, schools
and churches, that the Sabbath should have
due respect. The demands of business are
sufficiently wearying on six days out of seven.
Mans moral, mental and physical nature all
demand rest one day in seven. Even were
there no command of inspiration, the laws Of
human organization point with steady purpose
to necessity for periodical relaxation. Pub
lie opinion can govern this matter, and each
person doing business on Sunday should use his
influence to circumscribe Sunday business, as
much as possible.

CoNvIcrED.-We have been somewhat as
tonished to see by the San Francisco papers
that Sheppard, the man who killed Day, be
cause Day thought he was not suitable mar
to marry his daughter, has been convicted O
murder in the FIRST degree. This is right 81
far but when it is remembered how corrupt
our judiciary is, it is much to be regretted tha,
higher courts have the right to release such
men by an abuse of the habeas corpus or other
means.

M1NlNa.-A visit to Brooklyn, Little
York, the American r iver, and Iowa Hill,
convinced US tina: the mining resources OF
Nevada and Placer counties have thus far
been but prospected. At Little York and
its env;rons, miners are prespering highly
Gill 8 Co. have been taking out large
sums of money of late. We saw one
specimen of over an ounce from thelI
claims, taken out that day. The road Over
the American is an appliance we partic'
ularly recommend to persons Of limited
patience to experiment on. Frsm one to
three miles Of nearly perpendicular hill
over and down which horse must be led,
is enough to make Satan, had he known
the route, try one more attempt on the for
titude of bis antagonist Job, by setting him
on his travels. At Iowa Hill, a town OF the
magnitude of Rough i Ready, with a
population of about that Of Grass Valley
has suddenly grown up. A few tunnels
are paying immense sums weekly; most,
however, are not in to the lead. One halt
the population seem to be idlers, gamblers,
or spectators. But transient observer
might be mistaken in this respect. On the
American, the miners will soon get at
work. The river is as low as it was last
year in the middle Of July. A great ex-
citement has been raised there against
Chinese holding claims. A set OF claims
from which the Cinnamon took last year
as high as $4,000 have been violently ta'
ken from them this year. All along
High Bar the claims are said to be i'm
mensely rich.
From the Yubas we hear encouraging
reports. There is vast field of mining
ground which only needs plenty Of wate1
to quadrup!e in value. The great Yubs
Ditch will be an inestimable boon to al
this vast region, if it is carried through, as
it is now beyond doubt it will be. We
learn that workmen have been lsboring or
the line of the ditch siace the melting o.
