NEVADA REvvED-Eight weeks ago Saturday
last our town was laid in ashes. The sun went
down on that day lighting the desolate site,
where the homes of three thousand people were
made desoate. Neither furniture, nor clothing,
nor goods, nor merchandise were saved; with
insignificant exceptions all were swept away
Since then 6 marked change has taken place in
the aspect of the town, and stranger would
scarcely detect the evidences Of such calamity
within its limits. The only thing that would
strike his attention would be the newness of ey-
erything around him. Our streets are almost
entirely rebuilt. Handsome tencments have
taken the place of the old and worthless fabrics
which consumed like so much chaff. Our brick
buildings have been rebuilt and many of far
superior character are going up. On the site
of the old u. Hotel McConn and Co. are erect
ing what has long been needed, fine brick Ho-
tel The building is thirty-two feet front on
Broad and one hundred on Pine street 1t will
be three stories high and viii accommodate con-
veniently one hundred and fifty persons. The
second story is already up and the contractors,
Scranton & Israel, are pushing the work with
great energy. On the opposite corner Kidd &
Knox are erecting fine block which will have
five stores on the first floor, Masonic Hall and
range of six Offices on the second. It fronts
78 feet on Broad and 60 on Pine street. Jesse
Wall has just completed brick store on Broad
street above Pine, in which he has recon-
menced business. Other new brick buildings
are about to be commenced, and by the coming
spring we are assured that line of bricks from
one to three stories high will extend from the
U. S. Hotel down to Youngs' q distance Of over
250 feet-the only interception being our office.
1t is humiliating to think of. We should not
omit to mention here several very handsome
brick dwellings which do credit TO the taste OF
their owners. That of Mr.. Orr is particularly
worthy of notice. Several brick Churches are
in contemplation. The congregationalists, Rev.
Mr.. Warren, pastor, and also the members OF
the Methodist society north are making prepar-
ations to commence work. The Catholics have
already begun the erection of neat and sub
stantial frame ediflce on the site Of the former
church on Washington street.. Nevada has in
deed revived and is much better in appearance
than before the fire. 1t has cost however great
sacrifices and will tax the future labor and en-
terprise of our citizens, to place them individu-
ally and pecuniarily where they were. We are
safe it is thought from any serious danger OF
another visitation duringthe present dry season.
BY the return of the next we anticipate plen-
tiful supply of water by the extensive ditch OF
the South Yuba Co. A few thousand dollars
well appropriated will then secure us from fire
beyond peradventure, and where our citizens
have so much at stake, they should be wise and
prudent enough to make use Of it.

FROM all parts of our county we receive the
most cheering intelligence of the prospect of q
full and complete triumph for the Democracy.
In many of the mining towns Clubs have been
formed, and our friends are actively and ear
nestly at work. They have awakened to the
Importance of the issues involved in the ap-
preaching election, and united and harmonious
in purpose are moving forward to certain
victory Our friends abroad may rest assured
that Nevada county democracy will give good
account of themselves in November, and swell
up a good round majority for Buck Breck and
the ticket generally.

The Journal, of last week declares that in
emitting to write the biography of our county
candidates we have saved trip to Botany Bay
to search the records.
Wonder if the Journal duumvirate have been
there themselves, that they make this declara-
ton with so much confdence-or whether it is
made like many other things in that yeracous
sheet from habitual love of petty SANDER
We have little taste for biographical writing
but we think we could write one biography were
we put to it, not of candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket either, that would grace column
of the Police Gazette. Gentlemen of the Jour
nal, look to your heads!
There is a part of your ticket that neither
,addies nor any body else will vote.
