ANOTHER NARROW EscAPE.-On Wednesday
night at about o'clock, Ere broke ont in
the Chinese quarter. 1t was caused by a
stove pipe, which was pushed through so
small an aperture that the lining and roof of
a small hovel ignited and were in flames
when the wild cries ofthe Chinese affrighted
the town and attracted to the spot crowd
of Americans. The house was promptly
torn down, while water was thrown on it
from above. On such an occasion the Celes-
tials arc perfectly helpless, running crafty
making terrible outcry and if the fire
should break out in their midst after mid
night, nothing less than providence could
save it from spreading to the whole town.
The large fume of the Middle Yuba Canal,
some twelve hundred feet long and about
sixty feet high at its highest, crosses a por-
ton of the village, and under one end OF it,
stretching out either side, the Chinese have
built thckly together fifty or more OF their
tnder box novels, into which are crowded
two or three hundred noisy, gambling, odor
|ous, sleepless wretches who are a constant
nuisance and threatening danger to the en-
tire community.

SLUIcE RoBBING.-Early Thursday night
Mr. j. e. Barnes saw three men with lant-
ern robbing sluices in the tunnel of the Col
den Gate Company, On San Juan Hill. He
came up for help Immediately, but by the
time he returned to the tunnel with a party
the robbers had effected their object and es-
capped. The evil of sluice robbing has be-
come enormous. Although every mining
company employs night watchman when
Washing prowling thieves contrive to elude
his vigilance and rob one portion ola long
feet in some instances-whle he is at anoth-
er. The job is done very quickly. If the
scoundrels do not have time to raise the
blocks, they scoop the amalgam from the
crevices between them with an iron spoon
or other implement made for the purpose, and
are off with several hundred dollars without
detection. 1t cannot be known how mahy
robberies of this kind are committed. Very
likely some of the best claims are regularly
visited, and others that would pay are pre-
vented from doing so by the same means
.
The miners can hardly tell whether to attrib-
ute pSor ''clean up" to the poverty oftheir
ground or the rascality of man. They are
anxiously medtating what means can be
devised for the effectual prevention of sluice
robbing, and we hope they may hit upon
some method that wifi soon accomplish their
object. A more general system of police,
under an authorized chief, has been suggest
ed, and the projects worthy of considera-
tion.

Very UNLIKE a WHALE Contrary to the
custom of his species. large hump back
whale entered the Golden Gate, a few days
since, and, apparently liking the looks of
things, went on an excursion to Benicia,
where he created some excitement He
probably went there to ascertain what effect
the projected railroad would exercise upon
the whaling business, and will undoubtedly
carry back the tidiugs that there is room in
those seas for all the whaling fleets that ever
hoated.-Napa Reporter.

MORE IMiRovEMENTs.- C. E. lIelfrich
has plmlked one side of Pine street, and
several citizens have laid sections of plank

street. a plank walk has also been built
Through Reservoir street by ]. f. Clarke &
Co, leading to their wood and lumber yard.
The ncw walk up Flume street made great
difference IN TIE attendance at church last
Sunday; from which fact we infer that good
church in this place than the eloquence OF
Ia Beecher or a Chaplin. In ether words if
you would reform men, yoa must FIRST get

FHVIIE subscriber takes this method of informing the
citizens of California that he has refitted his
rooms and prepared to take all kinds of Pictures
known to the photographic Art, unsurpassed in the
world; that he has made special arrangements for per-
coming from Iii tant parts of the State and would
say to all such that provided perfect satisfaction is not
given, he will not only not charge for work. but will
pay them for their time and trouble i'll calling.
Those arrangements have been made in view of the
fact that the country is ocked with unskilu opera
tors whose work is not only wanting in chemical
and everything that constitutes a good picture but
owing to the improper use of the chemicals employed,
they are rendered perishable and worthless.
To avoid tae impostions practced, the citizens of
this and the adjoining countless and travellers, are
most respectfuy invited to call upon him at his
i'll Grass Valley where he will be found ready, at all
times, and in all kinds of weather. take pictures in
the best style by all the various processes known,
some of which are as follows:

A LApY's SUGGEsrIoN.-A lady of fhis

Eoung men will not be compelled to travel

turn with muddy boots to the defflement of
the floor and soillng ofgowns and lace fixins.

SHAMEFUL INCONSISTENCY We find the
subjoined instance Of the double e-facedness
of the N. Y. Herald in the last number of the
Nevada Jou3nal:
The Herald is now the pet organ and de-
fender of the Administration. When Mr..
Buchanan was running for the presidency,
that paper expressed its opinion of him in
these words:
Latestaccountsf from Los Angeles state that
a rich silver mine has been discovered in the
vicinity of Bear Valley, about one hundred
miles from Los Angeles. A party has left
town to explore the district.
