THE RA1N.--For the past thirty six hours
the welcome rain has been pattering down
upon the heads of the just and the unjust
of the region round about 0royille Weare
of the opinion that this is by far the most
severe storm of the season. Great quanti
ties of rain have fallen in the valiies, and
doubtless many additional inches of snow
have accumulated on the mountains Some
of our weather-wise folks express the opin-
ion that this is the last great storm-the
clearing-up shower-that is to be the final
act of old winter. Spring is near at hand.
and with 1t is expected great stores Of gold.
and indeed there seems to be a most pros
porous season ahead. So mote il be.

CHINESE THEATRE.-A building is in pro-
cess of erection in Chinatown, that is very
shortly to be occupied by company of &C.
lestial devotees to Thespis. We are told
that the company is to consist of forty eight
performers, twelve of whom are ''ladies -
Unlike our style of dramatic performances,
one play is to continue throughout the entire
season. the opening scene of which is lain
in primeval China, and which has its finale
in the locality where the play is performed.
The theatre will probably be opened on or
about the first of next week, and on its
opening night, we are pleased to announce
that the sublime Eastern Spectacle entitled

be executed by All Who, which will be fol-
lowed by an overture from the orchestra,
led by Sing Song on copper gong, (Which,
together with a bag of rice and a peice of
advice, were presented him by the citizens
Of Shanghai) The whole to conclude with
the favorite farce entitled, "Come to see me,

THE PISTOL AGAIN.-A shooting affray
came off at Forest City last Thursday be-
tween two Irishmen named Crowley and Nc
Dermott. Crowley, who was doors, aimed
a pistol at McDermott, who was in the street,
and cried out that he was going to shoot
and at the same time fired, but without eff
feet. McDermott instantaneously drew bis
pistol and discharged three shots at Crow
ley, without hitting him, but unfortunately,
accidentally shot B. Il. Loring, who was ma
king his egress from an adjoinin5 building
At this juneture the firing ceased, and Nc
Dermott gave himself mp. Under the cir
cumstanees, it was deemed by the Justice
that he had acted in self defence, and the
shooting 'of Mr.. L. being accidental, no
charge was entered against him. Mr.. L. S
wound, says the Democrat, from which pa
per we take the above, is not considered
dangerous. Crowley is still at large.

Necessity for incorporation =.

The statement of VIM Sheridan, which
we publish this morning. shows the necessity
of having an established, and legal police in
Oroville, to protect us from the torch of the
incendiary, and from the nocturnal visits OF
the burglar. If the town has heretofore es-
capped destruction, it has been owing simply
to our poverty--and even that will not afford
us protection much longer
The petition to the Legislature praying
for an Act to incorporate the town, contem-
plares and asks for but little else beside
power to elect police, and levy tax for
its payment. Those who have demonstrated
against incorporating the town, should read
the statement of Sheridan and then recall
their remonstrance. But we have been as
sured by many who signed the remonstrance
that they did so under misrepresentation of
facts, supposing that city incorporation
was asked for.
The citizens of Oroville have appealed to
the Legislature for the power to legally pro-
tect their property and their persons, and
the Legislature will be disregarding the du-
ties and object Of government if they leave
the citizens of Oroville to fall an unre-
sisting prey to lawlessness and violence.
They would have asked the Board Of Su-
pervisors to declare the town incorpated I'M
der the general incorporation law, but the
decision of the Supreme Court had brought
the constitutionality of that law in question,
and hence their appeal to the Legislature
We trust that body will see our necessities
and take speedy action in the matter.

SEVERE Shock OF AN EARTHQUAKE
The San Francisco Herald of the 9th SAYS
Last evening, at five minutes before seven
o'clock this city was shaken in 4 most yio-
lent manner by an earthquake The shock
was abrupt, ike the conclusion produced by
the firing of heavy piece Of ordnance but
its effect was hundred fold greater. 1t
shook Montgomery Block so as to make
things bound from the floor; and in oar
composing room, two heavy stones. erected
on stands alongside of each other, clashed
together as though on a spring board. The
people along Montgomery street rushed Qua
of their stores in CONSERVATION, as if a ter
rible Judgment was about to be visited upoa
them. In some of the hotels there was a
perceptihle getting down stairs the inmates
though: their lives depended on gaining the
open street. In some wooden dwellings, the
shock was even more severe, it appeared as
though bomb-shell had struck the roof and
made the crockery jingle in manner that
was truly alarming to the inmates. We are
| told the shock was very violent in the up
per portion of the city. The buildings VI.
brated like a reed in the wind. The yibra-
ton appeared to be from east to west.

E~cAPE FROM THE NEVADA JAL.-Ou
Thursday evening, says the Democrat. ii
man by the name of Gehr, confined in the
Nevada Jail on charge of robbery. made his
escape. He was confined in an adjoining
cell to that in which oneLuddington was con.
fined, into which apartment he dug his way
and combining their efforts the two succeed
ed in opening the door leading into the hall
surrounding the cells. from whence they
made their exit through the sheriff Office
into the street. Mr.. Wood, the under sher-
if, gave the alarm and another man sue
ceeded in arresting Luddington, but Gehr
made good his fight, and at last accounts
was at large. The Democrat attributes these
frequent escapes either to the carelessness
or design of the Jail keepers.

things were arranged about the time when
Savage's second application was made to the
powers who possessed the right to give or
withhold the license he sought.
With arguments and legal skill, did he
who represented the Savage cause, place be-
fore the lawgivors his clients case; but the
Ophirites. who wished the ferry granted,
and those who delved within the bowels of
the earth, and all who damned, and cursed
the rivers, withheld their promised aid, and
suffered 10, (behind the bridge the while,)
to make it manifest by the chart that John
the chain bearer had made, and the appar-
emily 'hard road to travel to the Junction.
and the few supporters standing up with
Savage, that the Bridge of Size, and the
ferry that stood in placid water, were all
the mountain road the commonwealth re-
qulred, and the powers that sat in eonclave
gave heed unto Joe the Jurist's sayings and
knocked our Savage endways, and likewise
EXTRACTED his irrevocable bung," greatly
as we conceive, to the injury of Ophir and
lnc GUILTY. rOuHu dDOul.
When the Ophirites heard these thing:
they wondered; and then they said
said they ''knew it would be so;' and after
that they grew wrathful withal, and angrily
questioning, Intercepted one another, say.
ing, " who is this Joe that he should rule u,
with rod Of iron?" and g how long shall
this man reign over us'" Moreover they
cursed the Bridge of Size and the ferry by
its side, and Bob, and George, and the two
Joes.
Now, all this while, the 0phirites and the
Flatites, and all they who said they were
friends of Savage and desired his ferry to
be made, forgot that they, his right full allies
had forsaken him in his hour of need, and
permitted him to go without their seeming
sanction and support, and all alone to wage
war with the army of the Bridge.
Proud of his victory, proud of his bridge
with lawsuit hanging over it, proud oil
his three partners, and proud of his delight
full farm hard by the Junction, Joe the Ju-
rist laid him down upon his couch and
dreamed again as once before we've told
And so we Il let him rest awhile; but rumor
says--and rumor seldom lies-that Savage
is still unconquered, and that when a pro-
per time all come, he'll ''get his wind, and
then sail in again." and that he may sue
coed, is a consummation devoutly to be
wished, and if he does Z" sail in again" let
him be helped with substantial aid from the
Ophiritcs.
