been enabled to collect the following: The
water at Cherokee and vicinity holds out well

From Red Dog the reports are favorable

COUNTY PRISONERS. There are now in the
Nevada Jail seventeen prisoners, kept at an
expense to the county of about thirty dollars
per day. Why have not our Board of Super
visors followed the example of Ell Dorado and
Sacramento, and put the prisoners at work for
the good of the public whose rights they have
outraged? There are many among us lost to
all shame and too indolent by nature or habit
to work, who would think it no dishonor, but
godsend, to be boarded at the expense of the
county for few months, provided no labor
was exacted from them. Labor alone is degra-
ding and odious to them. They care nothing
for the Imprisonment if they can only indulge
their habitual incidence. But impose the task
Of an honest man upon them, make them earn
their own living by the sweat of the brow and
Imprisonment is invested with untold horrors.
We hope the experiment of putting the county
conycts to labor will be tried. II the number
of prisoners is not. the expenses Of the county
certainly can be lessened.

WoMANs REvENGE.-An affray occur
red at Tomkins' Store on Bear River, on
Monday last which resulted in serious
wound on the peeson of a Mr.. Wright.
A man named Fisher, who has q wife,
asked Wright to pay bill which he owed
him, who took offense and used obscene
language in the presence ofhis wife She
in turn became exasperated and attempt
ed to get pistol to shoot the offender on
the spot, but was prevented. On the fol-
lowing morning the husband and wife,
armed themselves with knives and going
to the claim of Wright, the woman jump
ed in, and attempted to stab him. The
husband and wife were disarmed by the
miners who had been attracted to the spot
and promise e1acted that no further vio-
lence should be attempted. But a mo-
ment afterwards, scizing a favorable op.
portunity, the woman snatched knife
from the hands of one of the miners, anG
inflicted severe wound in the shoulder o.
Wright. The husband and wife went i'm
medlately to Little. Y ork and surrend erec
themselves to the officers of the law.

PosT OFFlcE.-We cordially endorse
everything said by our neighbor concern
ing the Nevada Post Office. Though
small, the interior is well arranged, and
the public are waited upon by gentleman
ly and attentive clerks.
We have only one suggestion to make.
Would it not accommodate the public, to
leave box open, into which letters might
be dropped, when the Office is shut' The
people are now generally aware that all
letters must be prepaid, and few, if any
without stamps would be dropped in the
box.

OBSERVANCE OF THE ESABBArH.-About four
weeks since written agreement which was
published in this paper, was entered into by
the merchants and business men of this city, to
close their stores on the Sabbath To the OBJ
servance of this agreement the honor of the
signers was pledged. We have heard com.
plants from several Of our most prominent
business mep, that good faith has not in all ca.
ses been practised by few of those whose
names are appended to the written agreement,
but that On last Sunday more than one mer.
chant were standing at their counters for the re.
ceipt Of customers as was of old their wont
The observance of one day in week for day
of rest, is practised throughout the christian
world, and the laws of nature seem to REQUIRE
one day in seven for relaxation. If the Gus
tom of civilized nations, and the laws of nature
are held in contempt, the obligations Of q con
tract entered into by honorable men in gooc
faith should not be disregarded.

theatrical.

Mr. and Mrs JAS Stark appeared at
the Nevada Theatre to full house on
Wednesday evening for the first time for
several years, and played in the "Game-
ster." Mr.. Stark took the character Of
Mr.. Beverly, and finely illustrated the
gradations of noble character falling by
the influence of single vice from the
summit of happiness and prosperity, to
poverty, shame and voluntary death
The play is thrilling, and interspersed
with fine passages, which were represented
with beautiful distinctness by the actor.
Mrs. Stark as the gamester's wife played
with her usual force and beauty, and
shared in the lavish applause of the audi
ence
The subordinate characters, sustained
by such actors as Wilder, Phelps,
Glover, and Conner, could not fail to be
admirably rendered Wilder is an old
favorite here.
A pleasant farce ended the evenings
performances, and the audience departed
well pleased.

n@. The editor Of the Democrat this
week thus gets himself off concerning an
imaginary rumpus in the ranks of the
American Party at Grass Valley. GA lie
well stuck to is worth two truths.''
1.-The Nepoda Journal denies the statement
made by US concerning the existing disaffection
among the K. Ms. Of Grass Valley. 1t says
awe can assure our friends all over the State.
that no contagion is raging in the ranks of the
party in our sister town. The organization is
in healthy condition, and there is every pros.
pect of lis remaining So"
Now we know full WE'LL that few even
ings since the "Wigwam" was near breaking
up in disorder, in consequence of certain sedi.
tious remarks made in the nall by an abolition.
ist and we further know that many of their
prominent members have deserted them, and
more are on the eve of so doing. mo conta-
gion" indeed why crowds Of them have got
the ITCH to get out
Now zoe know that "many prominent
members of the party at Grass Valley
have not deserted One gentleman whom
we highly esteem has withdrawn from the
party, because politics encroached upon
time which he wished to devote to his pro-
fession The editor of the Demo crat
probably knew of this, and as it is his hab-
it to see double, triple, quadruple, and
sometimes not at all, his visual organs
made many out of one. Why didn't you
publish that stereotyped yarn of yours
Ship, peddled about town by yourself

Grass Valley , Perhaps you found out
as everybody else did, long before youl
paper was issued that there was not par
ticle of truth in it. The number of time:
you told it, however, ought to have made
it true enough for your purpose.
"Crowds of them have got the Itch

teach you, that whenever that disgusting
disease appears among us, the patient
