One of the pigs.

The Lynn yNetcs is responsible for the fol-
lowing: A person was once arguing in favor
of buying large pigs in the Spring, declaring
it much better than to buy small ones, as
they would eat but little more. A neighbor
differed from him in opinion, #hereupon he
told !. story which "toOk down" his opponent
and s1l the hearers decided that small pigs
eat some. -
Last Spring" said he, 81 bought little
pig from drover, and he was good for eating,
but be wouldu' grow mucn. ne got 10 af-
ter week or two that; he would eat bucket.

for "mcre." Well, one morning l carried
out bucket full Of dough, and after
he had swallowed it all, picked up the pig
and put him in the sane bucket had fed hin

ENCoURAGING.-Ou attentive agent E. Es-
teys Hill, of Nevada, is now on collecting
tour through the upper portion of the county,
and will soon call upon our subscribers
and advertisers, in Nevada. He assures US
that ouri efforts to make the telegraph" a
valuable and interesting local paper are
justly appreciated by our friends in that
portion of the County which he has visited
Unlike most Collectors he is everywhere
received with smiling faces and open purses
Up to last evening he reports ONE "discon-
tinuance" and that for the only reason that
the papers could not be delivered nearer than
foe miles OF the subscribers residence He
returns us goodly array Of new names, of
such as are desious to be kept posted" with
regard to the local news of the county.
We would take this opportunity tn return
our thanks to our friends in Grass Valley,
who have within few days past, added
many new names to our list of Subscribers.

N~ Upwards of 800 pianos were placed
on exhibition at the great Worlds Fair in
Paris. Of this number only two were of
American manufacture, and yet one of those
two carried off the higest prize awarded 10
that article! The French people, with their
limited knowledge of the people of America,
cannot comprehend how it is possible for
them to excel in the invention of such labor
saving machines rs sparse population an6
sacarcity of hands compel them to invent !;
and that America should send over there a
piano which could take premium over three
hundred fine French pianos in the Exhibition
is problem which they cannot understand.

MINING AT Iowa HnL.-The News says the
miners in that region are doing extraordlna-
rilv we'll. The claim of Rich & Co. yielded
twelve ounces from one pan last week. The
Shelving claims are yielding from $500 to
$500 per day.
Mr.. T. B. Hotchkiss, agent of Wells, Fargo
& Co.. at Iowa Hill, states that since the 18th
of May last, the Iowa Hill Tannel Company
with four hands and one rocker, have taken
out of their claim and deposited with him, the
sum of SAG $50 62.

TEE MURDER AT ALPHA.--Fhe following is
true narrative Of the circumstances attending
the recent murder at Alpha, as gathered from
an eyewitness: Hoffman, his brother and a
man named Hill came upon the ground where
Bovce ond and others were at work, saying
that the ground was theirs to which it was
replied that if the miners of that district
should determine the matter thus, they would
surrender the claims. but not otherwise. Up
on this Hoffman said he was the best man
upon the Hill, and would have the claims at
all hazards, pulled off his coat, and all
three drawing their revolvers, started down
the hill to where Boyce was at work cutting
bedrock. Seeing them approach armed,
Boyce drew his pistol, and in reply to a
remark of HOFFMAN, that he OBJ drew his pis
tol first, said "no." HOFFMAN then said 'Eyou
are id liar, you did," and the epithet was
returned, whereupon HOFFMAN fired killing
Boyce almost instantly.
Boyce located the claim the first of last
July, up to which time they had never been
staked or recorded, as the laws of Alpha
district require.

SrEAM PUMP.-A steam pump, on wheels.
passed through Sacramento, few days since.
on-its way to Iowa Hill. The Union saws it
f to be taken there as a speculation. We
should think compact, portable machine of
that character, of five or six horse power
would prove very good speculation any
who're in the mines. A, vast amount of the
severest manual labor.is frequently expended.
in sinking prospecting shafts, when such
machine as this could be most profitable
employed. Engines of large class are
frequently put up for such purposes, at great
expense of hauling and setting, when mach
inc Of the above description might be used
foE less than one quarter the cost, while it
would be equally effective We should be
pleased to learn where such machines could
be procured, and at what cost, and would
cheeFfully communicate any such information
to our readers. Every appliance and i'm
pFovement calculated to facilitate, and cheap
e. exploring and mining operations general
7iy, lsre Of positive benefit to the entire
community. We have great faith in the
feasibility and economy of portable "Steam
Pump" Let US have the particulars

We wonder if our City fathers ever dream.

pIsTRIcT SCHooL--The District School,
which has been discontinued for some wseks,
was again commenced, yesterday, under the
chargesof Mr.. R. A. RICHER. Mr.. R. has had
much experience in the Atlantic states. as a
Teacher, and we have no eoa6t but tAat be

parents, and all others interested n maintain-
ing an efficient and well conducted school.
It is hoped that the patrons of the school will
take personal interest in its success, TO the
end that it may be made second to no like
institution in the state. The price of tuition
has been fixed at the very low rate Of So per
month.

FIRE! FIRE Who that has g. dive ~
shop, or store exposed to fire in the llids
of any village in the state does ret retir'
almost every night with unpleasant refecton|
upon the hazards of money making aes

not often fall asleep pondering on the bet

third, perhaps, sees, in his vision, lead ppe,

fountain near by to huge reservoir, on tie
summit of the hill just west of the tofn,
from which an iron pipe of suitable di-
mensions, again conducts it down to the
lower part of Main Street, and in which at
intervals, large faucets, adapted to the ftihg
on of hose, are inserted, thus placing within
our reach the means of deluging at a moments
notice, any portion of the street which may
be threatened with confagration. Addd
to these preparations, the fancied appearance
of an efficient ''hook and ladder company
soothes the dreamer into feeling of the met

POWDER MANurAcroRY.-We copied a.

POWDER MANUFACroRY.-We copied an
article some weeks since from the Chronicle
showing the advantages which California
possesses for the mandatory of POWDER
We now perceive from an article in the
"Union" that chemist of Sacramento is
making arrangements to erect powder mill
in the vicinity Of that city. Some idea of
the amount of powder used in this part of the
state may be inferred from the fact that the
Contractors on a ditch now in process Of con-
struction, in this County, have used sixteen
tons of the article, within the last six months
The consumption of powder, in California,
for blasting purposes, is probably much great
er than is generally supposed, and its home
manufacture would stop an important drain
of specie from our state-a consumation for
which we accord our most earnest wish.

RELIGIOUS INTEREST IN GRASS VALLEY
During the past week series of religious
meetings has been held in the NJ. E. Church
of this place, over which the Rev. John. B.
Hill presides. We learn that very consid-
cradle dregree of interest has been manifested,
and the meetings are very fully attended,
Several conversions have already taken place,
and the interest seems to be deepening and
increasing in the congregation. The meet
ings are stiIl continued. We understand that
Mr.. Hill is expecting to be assisted, the pres
ent week by the Rev. Mr.. Rooney of Stockton.
A meeting will be held this evening at the
usual hour

SOMETHING NEw.--It is stated in the ua-
pers by the last arrival that project is Oh
foot to arm and equip $4,000 Spaniards, to-
fill up the depleted ranks of She allies before
Sebastapool; the expense of the equipment
will, of course be borne by France and Eng
land. This movement, if it has any existence
in fact, is of more Importance than might be
suggested at first sight. Queen Isabella is
not going to send her soldiers to- die by
thousands in the trenches before Sebastapol,
without receiving something as an equiva-
lent. What is it to be?
