The KAoLrS FRUIT CAE.--We have been,
shown new fruit can, manufactured by the;
Porcelain Manufacturing Company, of this city.
at their works in Edgefeld District. 1t is de-
signed to be used with Dayton's Exhauster,
recently introduced into the State, and furnished
by ". q. Goodrich, in Augusta, and by dealers
in all parts Of the country. Qt
This can has decided advantages over any.
that we have seen. 1t is much larger and cheap
er, it is not translucent, and therefore, fruit will
retain its natural color; it may be heated with.
out danger of breaking like glass it is not cor.
rosive, and is very neat in its appearance. The
top is so arranged as to be sealed by means of
the exhauster, the process Of which is very sim.
pie, and is fully explained in the circulars ac;,
companying it. b
The trouble and danger Of loss has been quite
diseouraging to those who have put up fruit by
many Of the plans in use. The method now
presented promises to remedy those evils, and
is worthy of attention.-Augusta Dispatch. s.: s.

SIN the case of wagons engaged in hauling at so
much hundred, this injustice is worry palpable.
They are enabled by tho Plank Road to carry some
1900 lbs. more, each trr, than thoy formerly could.
This is clear gain to thcm Of $3.50; and yot, in
taking the dirt road when going returning empty,
they refuse to allow their benefactor the Plank Roud
Company reasonable share Of what they have real
lied IN actual cash by tho road and which they could
by no means have made without the aid of said Road
Even if they paid $3.50 each trip, they would gain
81 per trip, which would be S. per week, and near
$4O0 per annun All this they will lose if tho plank
road falls through. How careful then should they be
to render it their full and constant patronage, going
or coming loadcd or empty.

PLACERvILLE s. HUMBOLDT TELEGRAPH co.
Coming on the heels of last nights cele
bration, this is indeed cause for rejoicing and
is guarantee that the following resolution,
unanimously adopted last night by the great
est gathering ever beheld in Sacramento, was
compliment not undeserved
Resoiued, That the Placerville and Hum
boldt Telegraph Company have shown, by
the energy which has already placed the
wires upon the summit of the Nevadas, that
they are entitled to the earnest support OF
their feAow-citizens in carrying out their en-
terprise.
Hurrah for the Overland Telegraph,
Bee.
The line of this Company has cost so far
only about 500 per mile, but the cost will OF
course be greater as they advance. The ORR
ginat capital of the Company was $4,000,
which the stockholders may increase at will
to $4,000.

Three passengers came in the stage
from Salt Lake. The city is said to
be losing its sanity quiet character.
Gambling, drunkenness, and rowdy>
ism prevail to an alarming extent. A
gentle named Beatty has been licensed
to keep a GROCERY at $4,000 per
annum, and his daily receipts are
$3.50. The presence of an army is
not favorable to the morals of any
place, and even the Mormons, much

Disguised with Uncle Sans troops.

Fire I'm the Woods.


For some time past the woods on the nerth
side Of the Middle Yuba, in the direction of
Camptonville, have been fire, and present at
night . spectacle of much grandeur. During the
day the scene of the conHagration is beantifed
by softest tints purple haze, and smoky wreaths
that aoat along the horizon or linger round the
higher peaks of hills. But as evening comes on,
and the thousand varying hues of twilight blend
into grey, the wooded range throws of its veil
Of softness and rises darkly against the deepen
ing sky, whilst long strata of dense smoke-clouds
crown its wavy outline. As the darkness increa-
ses one tongue Of fame sitter another is thrust
out amongst the resinous pines, until the whole
wall of distant timber is starred With eyes of
rudy FIRE.
The gazer ID reminded of beacon answering to
beacon a. in the days of Scottish border feud
"And soon a score of fires, / ween,
From height and hill, and cliff were seen;
Each from each the signal caught;
Each after each they cleaned to sight,
As stars arise upon the night"

County Items.

From the Nevada Democrat of Wednesday
We gather the following items:
A masquerade and fancy dress ball came
off at the Arcade Saloon last Saturday even
ing in grand style. But at IL o'clock the
try Of the Marshall and police force, who
enforced the city ordinance which prohibits
public amusements after that hour on Sat-
urday night They took the mu sicians into
custody.
COURT OF SEssroNs.-The regular term of
this Court commences on Monday next The
only business before it will probably be the
trial of Marshall, indicted at the last term
as one of the stage robbers. JIM. Hope, who
was indicted with Marshall, and admitted to
bail in the sum Of So COO, forfeited his bail
at the last term and has not since been heard
from. lsf
DEEP SHAFr.-The Young America Com
pany last week finished sinking shaft on
the Sugar Loaf Range, and struck the bed
rock at the depth Of 285 feet. This is be-
lieved to be the deepest shaft in that vicini-
ty. tf ~
The Board of Equalization had concluded
its examination of the Assessment roll as
made out by the Assessor. Many alterations
were made, but the total taxable property of
the county will not vary much from the am
cunt returned by the. Assessor, which was
81, 102 ,O93.
Mrs. John Wood will appear at the Metro
politan Theater on Monday evening. The
Democrat says Mr.. n P. Brown is the prin-
cipal proprietor and property man of the
new theater. Lucky printer!
The Justices elect of the county will as
semble at the Court House next Monday, for
the purpose of electing two Associate Justi-
ees of the Court Of Sessions.
| Rev Mr.. Dryden has been re-appointed to
the charge of the Nevada Methodist Church
JAIL-There are now eight inmates in
the county Jail, seven of whom are under in
dictment for murder. They are to be tried
at the next term of the District Court, which
commences next Monday.
The Nevada National, published at Grass
Valley, and edited by County Clerk Shoema-
ker, comes to US this week filed with local
| intelligence of much interest. The editor
denies the truth of the report that the Ne
vada Rifles had been notified by Gov. Weller
| to hold themselves in readiness, As they
might be wanted to fight the Northern Indi-
| ans. Grass Valley is in flourishing condi-
ton, according to the National. 1t is des-
tined to more permanenco than most noun
tain towns.

more or less, the ditch itself being
fifty miles long. Its capacity is 800
inches. Grizzly Canon affords suffi-
cient water to fill it until late in the
season, and when that fails, supplies
are drawn from the lakes. Ono of
these lakes is stated to be six mile
long by three miles wide, and being
damned to prevent it's overdowing,
constitutes an immense reservoir.
Another lake connects with this, but
it is considerably smaller. The same
ditch supplies Humbug, and other
mining localities along the ridge.

GRIZZLY HILL.-This mining To-
cality, which is situated one mile
south of Columbia Hill, on tho South
Yuba, is likely to prove very rich.
The claims are not yet all prepared
for washing, but are esteemed good
property and command high prices.
The San Juan Company have COM
menced washing and struck blue
gravel. 1t prospects we'll and the
boys anticipate a good yield. A
fourth interest sold some time ago for
$4,000, but is held now at $4,000.
The Philadelphia Company have
completed their tunnel, raised a shaft,
and are now making ready to wash.
An eighth interest recently sold for
$500.
The success of the Atlantic cable
was celebrated by the firing of anvils,
bonfres, &c., much to the wonder
ment of the miners at Gopher Hill,
who came over to see what was up.
Tho cabin of Mr.. Louis Mari was
burned down last week, and the flames
were with difficulty prevented from
spreading to other houses.
Grizzly Hill is abundantly supplied
with water by Irvins's ditch which
heads at the Chain Lakes on the
summit, a distance Of forty miles,

On Monday last as Messrs SEARS and CHAD
WICK of this place were passing along an unfre-
quented ravine which lies q short distance be-
yond the San Juan Saw-Mill in south-easterly
direction from town, they detected the appear
ance of recent grave, the earth having been
partly removed frsm it, by some animal probably,
50 that the sides Of the pit were visible. The
circumstance excited their suspicious. and procu-
ring shovel they dug down for three or four
feet. when . human head was discovered, lying
with the back part up, and with short cue of
black hair attached. Taking hold of this ap-
,psndage for the purpose of turning the head, it
pulled from the scalp, but they were satisfied
that the grave contained the body of Chinese
man or woman. Not liking to continue their
Investigations, as the body was far gone in de-
cay and smelt Extensively, they returned to town
and reported the circumstance to the Chinese
Mr.. CHADWICK questioned some of them, and
elected the information that one of their women
was really buried there. Several circu instances
lead to the opinion that she was murdered The
Chinese bury their dead with many ceremonies,
and if the woman had died natural death her
funeral would have been an event generally
known; whereas, according to their own account
she was buried in the night, whilst the locality
of her grave was evidently chosen on account of
its secrecy. Several weeks ago some ladies heard
Chinese woman screaming dreadfully, and on
going forth, prompted by benevolent feelings,
found her lying the ground weeping ard
xreaning pitifully, and learned from her that she
had been beaten by Chinaman. One Of the
LII al. 4 koI A., L.:
IMAM was killed by being beaten, and buried in
the night. They were much surprised at the
discovery Of the grave. and afterwards filed it
up with earth. No information tending to des-
ignate the guilty On could be obtained

Two accidents have already occurred nhicb

brick chimneys are not used large openings
should be made through partitions and canvas
Innings for the passage of pipes, that those in
Aamable materials cannot possibly catch FIRE, and
the pipe should be 50 securely jonted that its
