County Items.

The Grass Valley National tells of a
very rich river claim at Industry Bar
which yielded for the week ending
Oct. 9th from 38 to 40 ounces per
day to eight hands, and for the week
ending Oct. 10th from 43 to 81 OF.
per day to twelve hands.-The
same paper speaks very cheerfully of
the prospects Of its town, says it is
steadily improving and that neat COM
Portable homes are springing up on
the hills around. The benefit of
tho Nevada Rifles at the Metropolitan
Theater was very successful, the
house being crowded. On last Sat-
urday night the Rifles returned the
compliment, The Grass Valley
Fire Company have a large alarm
bell on the top of their house-so
says the National. A theater and
concert hall is about being erected in
tho same place. The revenue of
the county for the present year, &C.
cordiug to the Nevada Journal, is
estimated BY the Treasurer at 1884,
3O6, of which $63,043 will belong
to the general fund.
The ensuing items are condensed
from the Nevada Democrat: Alex.
Griffin, indicted with six others for
the murder of McMurty at Grass
Valley, has been found guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree.-Eldred
Northup, indicted for the murder of
VIM. Reynolds, was acquitted. His
case occupied the court two days.
John Trevethick was killed by
Frank Carter, proprietor of the Vir-
ginia House, last Sunday night under
the following circumstances Treve-
thick applied at Carter's bar for a
glass of lager beer, which the latter
refused to give him as he was already
intoxicated. He then abused Carter,
who ordered him to leave the house,
and proceeded to put him out. Trey
ethick resisted vigorously, and Carter
struck him a blow on tho side of the
neck, upon which he fell to the floor
and died Immediately. Carter gave
himself up and has been held to bail
in $500 to answer to the charge
of mansluaghter. This is the second
instance which has occurred at Neva-
da, of a man being killed by one blow
from another's fst.--Skillman's
saw mill, near Alpha, together with a
stable, one horse, and 100000 feet
of lumber, was consumed by fire last
Sunday night. Supposed to be the
work Of an incendiary. Loss $780,
0OO.-" Mr.. Boring informs US
that a little over $4,000 has been
paid in on account of property tax for
the year 1858. Of this amount,
something over 1913, 900 was paid in
on Monday, as after that date an adj
dition of FIVE per cent. was added to
all unpaid taxes. About 81, 900 has
been paid under protest, for taxes
levied on investment in mining claims,
and considerable more is due On the
same account, which will not be paid
until the suit now pending in the Su-
preme Court to test the legality Of
this tax is decided.

D@ Rain, Snow, and Wind,
tho trinity of storms, visited these
dusty mountains this week, and left
them clothed in silver vapors or in
dazzling robes Of white. The rain
commenced falling about II o'clock
Wednesday night, and continued with
but little intermission until Friday
moruing. Streams and bitches were
swollen, wells and cellars filled with
water, and the miners bosoms with
glseful expectations. The rainy sea-
son appeared to have made its sudden
and determined appearance. The
beating drops upon the roof made
such pleasant drowsy music that peo-
pic went earlier to bed, and left that
nest Of comfortable feeling later in
the morning. But the storm has
rassed. The violst-blue skies are
once more clear. The lately reeling
pines lift their calm heads into the
sunlight, and repose from their wres>
tie with tho winds. The winding
wales or deeper eanous are hid in
steaming mist, which circles round
the distant peaks whose tips are clad
IN snow.
In plain English, the first storm Of
the season is over, and every body
has first rate chance to mend leak J
roofs. The country around Forest
City is thickly covered with snow
which fell there all the time rain was
falling here.

AN EXTRA STAGE was required
on Wednesday to bring all the pas
sengers from Marysville to this place.
Many Of them arrived in the country
on the last steamer, intending to pro-
coed to Frazer river, but were In
ducsd to remain here on learning the
truth concerning the northern gold
fields. Five Of the arrivals were fe,
males. As the weary passengers, all
dusty, strange and anxious looking as
they were, got out Of the stage and
srooped together, with uncertain steps
along the street, We felt an emotion
Of sympathy for them, and mentally
wished them good luck. Every such
group ofnew corners Is an interesting
spectacle to those who remember
their own experience, for it is sug>
gsstivs Of sundered heart ties, Of hope
struggling against affection, of san
guins expectations doomed too often
not to be realized. These travel worn
adventurers deserve kind treatment;
the brave little women who accompa-
ny them should have tho unsought
sympathy Of their California 81 sters,
Let us make tho new country pleas
ant to the newcomers.

Diseases of the LiEer.

By this disease we understand an inflammation

stomach always disordered, the yellow tinge OF

Of the liver, causes defective secretion of the

to refine it. When diseased. it cannot purify the
blood, which. when sent to the lungs, brains. aud

causes Dyspepsia, Piles, and other complaints. az
you perceive the direct way to unravel and tear
the whole system to pieces.
A patient suffering from this complaint, should
resort to speedy relief. Yet there are very few
medicines WORT, cent in curing diseases. What
then shall be done? We say use DR.. Morse s
Indian Root Pills, as they composed Of plants
and roots; they will be found sure cure for this
painfu disease, because they purge from the body
those corrupt and stagnant humors, and so cleanse
and renew the blood. which is the cause not only
Of the disease Of the liver. and the Inflammation

cription ofdisease. From 3 to Of the above pills
taken every night on going to bed, will in few

Mr.. EDIToR: Will you allow me space
enough in your paper for few remarks in vim
dlcatlon of the name and character of a neigh
bora man whom I have always regarded as
possessing motives and principles of the right
stamp and if he errs (which / know he will
not deny it is more the fault of the head than
heart and perhaps in the structure of the head
there are but few upon whom nature has beer
more lavish of her gifts. Let me here say, thai
What | am now writing is without his know
ledge or solicitation in any way whatever, and
is done purely as an oct OF justice to neighbor
From statement in your paper by himself and
from runnor, I have learned that Mr.. Thomas
r. HALEY is charged with having by .'trickery
and duplicity gotten the signatures of gentle
men, endorsing his. character, and attempted to
palm this off on the Governor as a recommen-
dation for Tobacco Inspector" What Mr.. Hal
ley said or did in Annapolis | know nothing of,
only so far as he gives statement of it himself
which hesitate not to say I believe to be true.
But this do know, that a number of gentlemen
in this neighborhood perhaps majority of the
|neighborhood) aoished and intended to sign Mr..
Halley's recommendation for that Office, but
were defrauded of their intentions by being told
by another candidate that Mr.. Haley ,cos not
a candidate. And this Misrepresentation was
made, as Mr.. Haley asserts, after this other
candidate had solicited Mr. Halley's signature
to his recommendation, and Mr. Haley declined
to gre 1t to him on the ground that he Mr.
Haley expected to be candidate himself I
was one of the number whose signatures were
lost to Mr.. HALEY in this way But I do not
intend to comment upon these proceedings but
only wish to state facts and let others who feel
an interest in the matter judge for themselves.
have no wish. to injure any one, nor to be
drawn into difficulty or notoriety by this state
ment, but knowing that it would be very CRATE
full to my feelings for any one to step forth in
my defence under such circumstances, have
only aimed to act in accordance with the ssgold-
en- rule" of doing to others as would have them
do to me. Respectfully, yours,
