EXECUTIoN.-Craine, the murderer of Miss
Susan Newman, and Mickey Free, were hung
at Coloma, on Friday last. The Sacramento
Union, says that both parties manifested the
utmost Indifference to their fate. Craine
occupied about three-fourths of an hour in a
speech, the burthen of which was that the
Bible was fable, and that society would
soon look upon the 'Harmonia' as the surest
guide to eternal happiness.
Mickey Free made no speech, but commenc-
ed song, the first verse of which he sung,
and then stopped, as if he had forgotten the
words A duet was then sung by the prison
ers, the words of which were composed by
CTaine for the occasion. and which occupied
some ten minutes. The last words of Free
were, 'now, boys see that this is done up
right" Craines last words were, "Susan
receive me, shall soon be with you"
Craine was a widower and has four chill
dren living in the vicinity of Lexington, Ky.
He was monomaniac on the subject of
spiritualism. Mickey Free was Canadian,
and was one of the most coldbIooded murder
ers that ever came to the gallows. His career
of crime commenced when he was but ten
gears Of age!

PRoGREss.-The fine brick block now in
process of erection on Broad street, owned
by Davis, Bicknell, Thomas and Young, is
destined when completed to be a conspicuous
ornament to our city. Occupying an eleya-
ted site and being three stories in height it
towers above the city attracting the atten-
tion of the traveller on entering the town
from any direction. A few such structures
give an air of permanence to the place, which
no other mining town in the state can boast
of. Nevada Journal.

CALIFORNIA STAGE Co.-Persons from be-
low who are, for the first time, transported
into the mountains by the coaches of this en-
terprising Company, universally express the
greatest astonishment at the complete and
extensive arrangements which they have ey-
erywhere established for the comfort and
rapid transmission of passengers from one
point to another. Fast horses, good coaches,
careful and experienced drivers and atten-
tive agents everywhere meet the traveller,
and establish the reputation of this Company
as one which leaves no effort untried to ac-
commodate the travelling public.

"FoRD's RIFLE Box"-The Nevada Jour
nal describes new Machine, for saving gold
which has been in operation, for few weeks
about halfa mile below Nevada, on Deer
Creek. 1t says that upwards of 200 machines
have already been ordered by miners in
that vicinity, and that nearly every one who
has seen it is struck with its convenience and
utility. The Journal thus sums up the ad-
vantages of this new invention, which, like
nearly every other invention for the purpose
of simplifying and improving the process Of
Placer Mining, has its origin in Nevada:
But six inches fall is required for the ma
chine, and for the apron which conducts the
water into it, not SO much. Any amount of
water from 2 to 100 inches may be used. It
is available for any kind of diggins, and may
be inserted in the middle of sluice or at the
end. 1t is portable, and can be carried to
any place. 1t may be cleaned up in ten
minutes, when set requires no one to attend
it, for it never clogs. The quicksilver is kept
in constant motion but never wastes. The
price is within the reach of all.

just completed the cut to drain their claims
and at last accounts were sinking prospect

tions of success. This Company, it will be
recollected is composed mostly of Grass
Valley people, and is under the management
of Mr.. Gephard. We shall probably be able
to give some definite results next week. The
members of the company, on the ground, are
in fine spirits and full of hope. We trust
their most sanguine anticipations may be
realised.

have been very fair, and under some circum-
stancs might have been well attended. If

patronage into the same town whence thew

inclined to believe the "beggarly account of

spicuous feature on the occasion. The Cit

ECLrPsE.-The Eclipse of the moon, on
Wednesday last was one of the most magnifi-
cent exhibitions of the kind that is often wit
messed. The eclipse was total, and of uncom-
mon length ofduration. Not cloud osbtruct-
ed the vision. The accuracy with which the
mind of man can penetrate into the move
ments of the heavenly bodies, and predict, to
moment, the presse relative positions Of SO
many planets and stars, for years to come,
points with no less certainty to the superior
destination of man, as compared with other
animal creation around him. than it does to
the still superior power'and wisdom of him who
directs and upholds those planets and those
stars, in their courses through boundless
space. Who that looks into the interior of
man, and considers him in all his attributes,

INEQUALITY OF REPRESENTATION San
Francisco Herald says that the recent cleo
tion demonstrated the fact that there are
only ten States of the Union, out of the thir-
ty-one, that poll a larger vote than we do,
and that if the same ratio of representation
prevailed here as in the Southern States, we
would be entitled to no less than ten Repre-
sentatives to Congress, or eight according to
the ratio of representation in the Northern
States. California must wait until the next
census shall do her justice

MISS PELLETF-NARRow EsCAPE.-Tb;s
eminent female philanthropist came near
terminating her earthly career, few DAYS
since, in most tragical manner The affair
which is replete with thrilling interest is thus
detailed in the Sacramento Union:-
1t seems that, on Monday evening. the
18th. Miss Pellet delivered an address in the
neighborhood of Evans Ferry. A Mrs. Wag.
oner, took Miss Pellet home with her to be
her guest for the night. On the next morn
ing the Indians, eighty strong, made their
terrible attack on the Ferry, where, and on
the road to the residence of the Wagoners,
they murdered twenty persons. Without any
intimation Of the attack on the Ferry. Miss
Pellet set out on her journey-not in the
direction of the Ferry-accompa by Mr..
Wagner, short distance. to direct her in
the road she wished to take. When he re-
tarned from this hospitable duty, he was
Saomed to witness most heart-rending
spectacle. The Indians, having murdered
all they could at the Ferry and on the road
arrived at Wagoner's house. where they put
all the inmates to death, and set fire to the
buildings. When Mr.. Wagner returned, he
found his house burned to the ground, and
the bones of his wife and child buried be-
meath it's smoking ruins.
Miss Pellet marvelously escaped the sava-
ges, and was safe in Sacramento on Tuesday
last. She was at Bidwell on Friday and
will probably, says the Marysville Herald,
prolong her tour to the American and Sierra
Valleys, and possibly, spend some time in the
region round about Downieville.

House WARMING.-We neglected to men
tion, last week, one Of those interesting
little affairs commonly known as "House
Warnings" 1t took place on the occasion
of "Old Block" having cleaned out the
'chips" from his new Express Office Building
on Main Street. Soon after business hours,
a collation. was spread out in his new Room
around which assembled a choice gathering
of our business men who exchanged the COM
pliments and congratulations usual on
such occasions. We were not able to be
present, but understood from those who
were, that it was an occasion exceedingly
prolific of good "sentiments'' and feelings
The present room is much superior to the
former one, in its general appearance, and
arrangements. In common with his host of
friends, we wish the gentlemanly agent of
Wells, Fargo &Co, and his attentive assistant
all the success which their earnest endeavors
to serve the public so richly merit.

CANAL PRoPRRTY.-It is estimated, that
there is now ten millions of dollars invested
in the various Canal enterprises of the state.
What better surety of the certainty and per-
manency of mining operations can be fur
nished than the bare recital of this fact, and
yet at this very time, there are greater num-
Der and more gigantic enterprises of this
character now in contemplation, than at any
former period III the history Of the state
The Sacramento Union, in abiding to in
vestments of this description very jnstly re-
marks that it is not San Franciseo, or Sac
ramento that holds the capital of California.
The money-the real invested capital of the
state is in the mines, and there it will remain,
increasing in value and extent until the
names of adams Coz and ''Page, Bacon q

New DOCTRINE, BOLDLY UTTERED.-"The
Richmond (Va.) Examiner says: "The re-

for its further e~tensiOn." We like the
boldness Of the man, but honestly think there
is slight difernce of opinion between him
and the people.

CALIFORNIA REsoURCEs--PHYsIC FOR THE

Ell Dorado is no doubt fast County, aud poss-
esses resources of a most extraordinary and
inexhaustible character. While we would
fully accord to Ell Dorado, the first rank in
matters of this sort, we cannot do less than
place Nevada County as high as second on
the list. The last remarkable development
of the untold wealth of this county is thus
chronicled in the last Nevada Journal"
''The PhizimaIinktum company of this
county struck last week in bill back of Ne
vada magnifcently rich soap mine. There
is an extremely large body of the article, the
extent of which is yet unknown.
The company finding that there is heavy
pressure upon it from the superintendent
mountain, have bored small square auger
holes in the side of the hill through which
the soap is forced like meat from sausage

ing at each hole with Ratchet to chop it off

EXPORT OF FLOUR TO CHILE.-Nothing can

-four, for Valparaiso last week.
Grass Valley telegraph., 1855-10-30

MILL STREET.-The improvements on the
upper part of this street are among the most
substantial in town, and will do much to
attach that Importance to this street which
it so richly deserves. Without wishing to
alarm the fears or excite the jealousy of our
friends on Main Street, we feel in duty bound
to say first rate thing in behalf of the en-
terprising proprietors of the street first men
toned. We like to see little spirit of good
natured rivalry between the different sections
of the town; it speaks we'll for our prosperity
as people, aud will do no harm anywhere.
We hope, ere another season has passed away
to see both Main and Mill street fankcd bv
one continuous wall of brick. Fire proof
buildings are costly, it is true; but it is
worth good round sum to be able to go to
bed at night with the comfortable assurance
that ones property is safely slowed away
between four good substantial brick walls,
which the incendary S torch can never reach
and which will defy the most laborious efforts
OF the midnight robber. We have come to
this conclusion ourselves, and most earnestly
beseech our friends on the hill, to hurry up
those g bricks" with all convenient dispatch
