BROKE JAIL. Two persons, Frank
Hamilton and Pat Smith broke jail at
Oroville, says the Record, on the 22d.
The jail is built of brick, but being built
during the hot weather of last summer
the bricks absorbed the moisture from
the mortar, leaving it about the consis-
tency of 'dried chicken feed, made of
corn meal and water" The only instru-
ment the rogues had with which to eff
feet their escape was a pewter spoon-a
proper instrument to dig out the chicken
feed.
The Record instances the escape of
prisoners from the Nevada county jail,
to show the utter insecurity of brick
jails. We would inform our cotempo-
rary of Butte, that the jail of this county
is built of huge blocks of granite. No
bricks are used except for partition
walls between cells. When completed,
ours will be one of the safest places for
criminals in the State. To escape they
must make their way through two gran
ite walls or the same number of heavy
iron doors. Oh, no, our jail is not con-
structed Of chicken feed.

THE COUNTY DEBT.-Our neighbor has
again fallen into an error in estimating
the debt of the county. In the last is

ing Indebtedness of the county existing
in the form of Auditors Warrantsis sta
ted at $4,000, exclusive of the Court
House bonds, the payment of which is
specially provided for by law. By refer
ence to the Report of the County Treas
urer made on the 18th of the past month
it will be seen that the sum of $32 ,534
IA in Warrants had been issued during
the quarter ending with that date. The
Treasurer informs us there were, say,
$4,000 outstanding in Warrants drawn
on the general fnnd, at the time the last
quarter commenced. To this must be
added at least 81, 600 issued in scrip du-
ring the last month Several thousand
dollars worth ofthis scrip has been re-
deemed, leaving, according to the esti-
mate of the Treasurer, about $4,000.

county exclusive of the Court House

Fire Company.
NEVADA, November 26, 1856.


EDITOR JOURNAL: I have heard it
said by many persons in this city that
instead of a Fire Engine, the community
requires the construction of water
works, hydrants. &c. Now, that is all
very well, if it can be done, but with a
city almost, if not quite, bankrupt can it
be expected that the citizens will come
forward with the requisite amount for
that purposel 1t would require, have
no doubt, at least $4,000 to complete
such works. . Can the people of Nevada
''come down with the ready" to that
amount! !! No, sir, they cannot! Well,
what is to be done as the case stands
now2 We have starting up amongst us
company of men, with stout hearts and
willing hands, to protect us from the
future ravages of that fell destroyer of
property, fire. That company is but
the forerunner of others which will, if
we give this one our support, rise up
amonst US; they ask you for pecuniary
assistance to but small amount-say
81, ,000-with which they can pay the
first installment for the engine, hose and
hose carriage, which they contemplate
buying, and which will enable the deni-
zens of this city to sleep soundly in their
beds, after the fatigues of the day, with
out being incessantly subjected to the
fear of fire. Confidence will take the
place of terror-confdence in the eff
cheney Of the department which we now
see growing up in our midst. Look at
what they are now doing for US! Within
a few days they will have completed a
cistern with a capacity of 10000 gallons
of water, at the junction of Main and
Commercial streets, at an expense of
about $500, built by themselves, with
their oaon pirate funds, independent
of what has been or may be subscribed.
Where could we find better pledge of
what they are willing to do for us than
this !
There is heavy expense incurred,
voluntarily, by this company, who are
composed forthe most part, of good and
honest mechanics, who have no earthly
interest in this matter beyond the well
fare of Nevada. Property-holders, for
shame! does it become you, who might
at any moment have your all swept
away by the devastating clement, to
hang back and be outdone in generosity
by men who have, comparatively speak
ing, but trife to save? Let us hope
better things of yon; put your hands
into your pockets and contribute to that
which at any moment might be the
means of saving you from beggary.
Go on, brave "Mountaineers p'-go on
in the good work, and rest assured that
you will be sustained-for the safety of
Nevada you must be sustained and may
you ever act up to the motto you have
chosen; "Duty, though in peril

- Senator Weller left on the
steamer of last week for the scene of
further labors in the Senate of the Uni
ted States. He wants to be reelected,
but is obliged to trust to the records OF
Congress and the influence of his per
sonal friends, to urge his claims before
the next Legislature. His attention to
his duties may be a strong card in his
favor, and against the lobbying tricksters
who hang like leeches upon the bestow-
ers of Senatorial honors.

LADIES' FEsTIvAL.-The festival of
the ladies Of the M. E. Church, on
Wednesday night, was complete sue
cess, both in pleasantness and profit
One hundred and thirty ladies graced
the occasion, and about two hundred
gentlemen. Notwithstanding the i'm
mense number of visitors, plenty of all
kinds of good edibles were furnished,
the tables being newly spread four times
from an apparently inexhaustible larder.
Selections from Hiawatha and an origin
al poem were read by Mr. Mckinley,
and some excellent music was dis
coursed by the band and quartette
club. We have seldom had the pleasure
of witnessing an occasion when so much
good feeling and pleasure was manifest
on the faces of the participants. The
result of the festival is, we understand,
to remove all debt from the church,
In four months after the late desolation,
the Methodists have erected the hand
soonest church ever in Nevada, and a
good parsonage, and are free from debt,
fact speaking well for their energy
and the iberality of our citizens. We
must confess to certain degree of ad-
miration for the indefatigable determina-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Morrow, who has been
the moving spirit in producing this re-
suit

UNHoRsED.-The furious riding too
frequently seen in our streets is repre-
hensible. Two chaps on Wednesday
evening charged up Commercial street
at topmost speed, whooping and halloo-
ing like Indians. Suddenly the fore
most horse stumbled and fell, precipi-
tating the rider headlong into the exu-
berance of mud in that vicinity. The
next horse stumbled over the PROSTATE
body of the first, landing his charge
alongside of the first rider. Horses and
asses rose together without help-the
latter seemed to receive an impression
that slow riding was better than fast,
for they altered their gate perceptibly.
We are happy to add that no good citi-
zen wasinjured.

probity.
Fourth-Drones in society, who are
good for nothing, never did anything,
and never will.

splender, prodigious vanity, and puerile
cpnceit.
