CANPHEyE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
have been made, during the past week, by
Louizenheiser, as to the difference in the
c,st OF burning Camphene and Kerosene or
Coal Oil. He informs us that q saving Of
25 per cent, at least, is made by using the
Kerosene oil. Another discovery which he
has made is that II will burn well in Cam
phene lamps and give quite as much light as
that dangerous fluid.

Under the above caption, some infatuate d
friend of Gov. Weller presents him to the

There are. doubtless, good Democrats in
this County who entertain preference for
him, but ma jority aud a very large major
ity of the Democracy, prefer another.
Ii is true, as your correspondent says, the
people did not express their wish at the late
election with regard TO Gov. Weller. At
the late democratic State Convention, how

and refused to endorse him for reelection

Afterwards the Democracy of this County,
with marked enthusiasm. met Mr.. Latham,
who prevailed over Mr.. Weller, for the nom-
inatIon Of Governor, and. on the day of elec-
tion cast for the former vote which the lat

some position. What has since occurred in
the history or achievements of Governor
Weller to make him so marvellously popu-
lar q.
1t is to be hoped that interested scribblers
in matter Of such grave Importance, will
not be permitted to impose On the public,
and misrepresent the wishes of the ever
faithful democracy OF Nevada.
The truth is everywhere apparent that the
party is tired-yea, isgusted-with the old
fogy rule which has so long weighed up
on our party peace and prosperity. The
people now earnestly desire thBt the STALL

the houses in Oakland, which, under ordinary

sE.s'- The most singular lynching opera

sembled to the number of two hundred, and
lynched woman Of ill-fame, tarring and
feathering her. The proceeding does not
seem to have had the unqualified approval
of the entire male population. Two young
men, however rushed in and helped the la

Of course did not make an attack upon the
female lynchers. but they took in hand the

The MKT SESAroR.-In our last issue
we gave n communication from a friend OF
Gov. Weller, advocating his claims for SEN
stor, 10 NIL the unexpired term, caused by
the death OF ID. G. Broderick. To-day we
give room to another communication, sign
ed " Democrat in which the writer takes
different ground, and places the claims Of
Gov. Weller at discount. Both OF our
correspondents are firm Democrats, have
stood nobly By the party, aud did all in
their power for the success Of the Democrat
lc ticket, at the last election. To such our
columns are ever open. 1t is right that
our representatives. before voting for the
next Senator, should possess as mnch light
as possible, as to what is the wish of the
Democracy OF Nevada County.
Whether Weller, Denver, Washington. or
any other sound and capable Democrat, may
be their choice, some three months must
elapse, ere the election transpires, and
abundant time is given for the Senate and
Assembly elect to decide upon their choice
TO fill the enviable position.

Prize wrestling.

4 new species Of amusement, the first, we
believe ever held in this State, came of be-
tween Grass Valley and Nevada, at the
Park Hotel, on Monday last, and continued
during four days.
One hundred and twcnty.six persons en-
tered for wrestling, making sixty three stan
dards. These standards were then coupled
off. which reduced the number of competi-
tors for the prizes to thirty.two. The sue.
cessiul standards of this number were match.
ed against each other until there remained
but six. As there were six prizes ranging
from one hundred dollars TO five dollars, it
was necessary that all of these men should
wrestle until the last man was left, who
would come in for the first prize, and the re-
manning five accordingly,
The style is known as the Cornish, and
the hold taken is the jacket hold; every
wrestler being encased within jacket made
of heavy drilling, and not allowed to catch
below the waist. 1t was an interesting oc-
ca sion TO see strong athletic men, who per-
haps bad lived together for years under
the same roof, clcnching each other with all
the strength they possessed, to throw their
oppOnent,-all done too with perfect good
nature. Men from different parts Of the
State were there engaged in the wrestling.

that two months practice would prove him
