Progressive.

We learn from a sheet, headed "Tclcgraph,' ~
that on Monday last, they held an election in
the arcadian precincts of Grass Valley. 1t
says, "thc mantle of authority fell easily on
shoulders which will no doubt bear it firmly,
vet gracefully and with case, We can now
have order and peace. We have
excellent officers elect and our affairs will be
managed no doubt, with prudence, economy
and with an eye to the general prosperity of
the town and well being of the citizens"
We congratulate the good people of Grass
Valley who have succeeded SO happily in Sc
curing incumbents to the arduous duties of town
Trustees, Marshal, Assessor and Treasurer,
who have shoulders sufficiently Hcrculcan to
save them from being completely crushed be-
meath the weighty folds of that classic mantle
of authority" and we sincerely hope they will
no doubt bear said mantle as firmly
as gracefully and with as much ease =
withal, as the Telegraph in its present happy
and sanguine state of mind appears to antici-
pate; or as the unayoidably perplexing DIFF
ficulty attendant upon six or seven Office hold
ers attempting to wear single article of ap-
psrel all a, the same time, will admit Of
We would suggest-if suggestion from this
suburb of Grass Valley is at all worthy of
consideration that when the finances of said
town will admit of such an extravagant outlay,
the town Trustees, Marshal, Assessor and Treas
urcr, be authorized to purchase one other
" mantle of authority Yes, Mr.. Telegraph.
let them have t1co "mantles of authority" A" to
fall easily upon the united shoulders of those
who will no doubt (of coursc9 bear them

what glad tidings it must bring to the do
mestic hearhs of those living in and around
Grass Valley faye, around Grass Valley which
of course covers the whole of this globe, at
leasD to learn, that, in the consolng words of
the Telegraph--" We can nop have order and

The "good time coming" tone of the
" nor in the sentence just quoted, fills our
mind with the agonizing impression that till
the present issue of the Telegraph, they of
Grass Valley have been bereft of those bless
ings-that hitherto riot and turbulence have
been the unhappy lot of the devoted popula-
lation of the Valley of Grass that there, dis
cord and violence reigned supreme. But now
I" Allah be praised"' Their stint of wo :
is fulfilled, and henceforth they are to have

Would not the election of several Trustees, a
Marshal, Assessor and Treasurer do more than

election of q Treasurer, Assessor, Marshal
and sercriol Trustees accomplish more sur
prising and happy feat than that? OF course
it would and has, for, we repeat in the heart
cheering and soul~string strain of the Tele-
graph" we can now have (both order and

transposing the happy theme--peace ard order.

--LATEST FROM GRASS VALLEY When our
reporter left, there was as many small clap
board buildings to let as ever; but he is happy
to add, the quartz mills are doing crushing
business. They are making Preparations to
have the county seat removed from Nevad. to
that place, though they think they wont be
able to accomplish it before Saturday night
BY Tuesday night they will be prepared to
remove Nevada. They will then have, what
they need more than County Seat, a hotel or
two, or arestaurant, where it will be possible
to get meal fit for civilized being to eat.

GEN. ALLEN, our worthy friend and
cotemporary of the Marysville Herald,
has been elected Mayor of Marysvillc.-
The citizens of that ambitious berg never
did better thing than putting him at the
head of affairs. We shall look for his
message, as we do for his paper, (sorry we
don't always get it) with particular inter-
est. The General is one of the redeem
ing traits of Marysvillc, and is addicted
to getting us forty miles out of our way
when We 60 below, to get a shake of his
weighty paw. We hope the profits of his
office will realize the phrase that ''money

PARSONAGE BuRNT.-Thc dwelling of
Rev, Mr.. Warren, his furniture, clothes
and all his household fixtures, were de-
stroycd by fire on Friday evening last,
about half past nine o'clock MIR. War
rem was absent at the time, and there was
but one man about the premises. The
house is some half a mile from the town,
up a hill, and assistance was too late to
save the contents of the house. The chill
drcn were snatched from bed upon which
the roof overhead was already showering
down cmbers. The light made by the
conhagration was very intense. The house
was very good one, about year old
Loss about $500. The sympathics. of
the public were Immediately enlisted in
behalf Of Mr.. Warren, who has been a
faithful minister of the gospel here since
1850, and much beloved, and subscrip-
ton covering the loss,we believe, was short
ly made up. A collection of $3.50 was ia
ken up on the ensuing Sabbath at the NJ
f. Church. The people. of Nevada arc
very liberal, and the frec-will offerings so
promptly rendered must have been most
gratifying token to the worthy recipient
The ladies at once went to work in their
own departmcnt-to supply the childrcn's
"fxins," and tenders of hospitality till
the house could be rebuilt were made in
sundry quarters 1t is difficult to say
whether most credit is reflected by these
manifestations of good will upon the min
istcr, or upon the people of the place.
