Sc Nothing Will Grow in the Mountains. .

Nothing Will Grow in the Mountains -
That is what the croakers used to say,
even as late as year or two years ago but
the soil that looked so unpromising has
been budding, and blooming and fructifyng
In refutation of the dogmatic assertion un-
til we can hear it no more. Proof on proof
of the productiveness of our mountain
slopes, and wales and nplands has accumu-
lated upon us in rapid and gratifying sue
cession-and yet more comes. Into our lit
tered up sanctum walks neighbor Hartman
this week, with a cluster of four Orange
Qninces weighing forty ounces, which grew
on bush two years old that has borne fifty
more as large. He has thirty ounce bushes
in bearing, and is the pioneer cultiyator of
that favorite preserve fruit in this vicinity.
His fine favored peaches have been before
noticed, and now we must notice his bear-
tiful apples of the earth, as the French po-
etically call potatoes. In common red,
gravelly soil he has raised a crop ofsuch
Bodegas as would make the valley farmers
'envious and an Irishman perfectly happy
A dozen taken from one hill at hap-hazard
weighed about eight pounds, and when
boiled were as white as starch and inealy as
the coaxing words of lovers. 10 come
down to plain figures we hereby inform the
community that Mr. Hartman win sen them
hundreds of bushels of these delightful
spuds at the rate of five cents pound
Everybody knows where his place is.
Well ! Here comes another culturist Mr..
Key of the Wisconsin ranch, with two mon
ster apples of the fall pippin variety-both
measuring thirteen inches in circumference,
and one weighing ls9 ounces while the other
weighs III ounces, avordupois. These
grew on dwarf tree, and are the first fruits
of an apple orchard consisting of 450 trees,
nearly all of which will bear next year.
Wm. Abbey has also plucked some very large
apples. Hereafter we hope to see the at
tentien of mountain orchardists mostly dr.
rected to this fruit, instead Of TO the peach
as heretofore. Our peaches are remarkable
for superior favor, but are net such GER
tain crop, owing to the spring frosts The
apple, blooming later, would not suffer from
frost, and is, besides, more durable and
varionsly useful fruit, finding sale the year
round.

THE COUNTY.

There is plentiful lack" of local intelli-
gence this week. Very little has transpired
worthy of record.
ASSOCIATE JUDGEs.-Tlfe fourteen Justices
Of the'Peace elect assembled at.Nevada on
Monday, and balloted about fourteen times
to see,who should have the distinguished
honor of presiding as ''side judges" in the
Court Of Sessions. The onerous RESPONSE
bility fell upon J. W. Dennison, of Bloom
fl eld, and E. W. Haywood, of Grass Valley.
THE NEW OFFIcERs.-"The bonds of most
of the new county officers" says the Journal
were approved on Tuesday by the Board of
Supervisors, and The new servants of the
people have begun to discharge their duties.
The same paper. pays deserved compliment
to the outgoing Sheriff and Clerk, and re-
marks in reference to the bonds that SO fafr
as approved they are of unexceptionable
character, fully meeting the requirements Of
the statutes. The following well-knowh
citizens are on Sheriff Van Hagan's bonds:
l.. c. McKeeby, G. D. Roberts, W. P.L. Win
ham, A. Frazer, c. W Kidd, J. J. Dorsey,
w. Mccormick, Jno. Cashin, JAS Colley.-
The Sheriff has appointed his subordinates
as follows: Under Sheriff, E. BurrelI Dep
'uty, j. 3. Van Hagan Jaler, Geo. Lenhart.
C0UNTY F1NANcEs.-From the Democrat we
learn that the total amount of cash on hand
lin the County Treasury and paid over to Mr..
Chinn, the new Treasurer, on Monday, was
l2,525,25, divided amongst the several funds
as follows: State Fund, S6,742 %; General
Fund, $5o4; Special Fund, S3,s7s 10; Pub
lie Building Fund, $50 sc; INDECENT Sick
Fund, $4l9 42; Road Fund, $50 81; School
Teachers Fund, $500 CA School Building
iFund, 259 Go. The Demcerat says:
During the mouths of August and Sep
tcmber, the total amount of cash received in
the County Treasury frofn all sources, was
S25, ,24l O5. During the past three months
the amount received from licenses alone was
$5,394. The scrip on the general fund is
now paid up to March, 1857, which includes
all the large orders issued to rebuild the
Courthouse, after its destruction by fire in
1856. We learn that an unusually large
proportion of the.property tax for 1859 has
already been paid in"
The Journal gives some interesting stdtis-
tics with reference to the county debt. One
year ago this was $l7l 1897; it is now $l49,-
285; showing decrease of S22,7l3. This
as very gratifying exhibit. The Journal
makes calculation to prove that in less
than SIX years more, at the present rate, the
county will be out of debt
OMEGA.-The new ditch bringing water
into the diggings at this place is at last COM
pleted, much to the joy of the miners. The
supply of the needful element is not yet
large, but will soon be increased. There are
many rich claims which only lack water to
become famous.

AToNEMENT DAY.-On Wednesday of last
week our Hebrew friends celebrated the be-
ginning OF the FIVE thousand, six hundred
and twentieth year of their chronology.
which dates from the creation Of the world
geology to the contrary notssith Standing
To-day they observe. more solen1n.:anniver-
sary The time from last evening DIT, sunset
until tonight at starlight, constitutes the
Day of Atonement, during which every or
thodox Jew will utterly abstain from food,
and will pray to the God of ofAbraham, Isaac
land Jacob. Anciently animal life was sac
"rihced on the altars of Judea upon this day,
as an expiation by proxy for the wicked
nesses of the people; and it was even as
serted during the early ages of Christianity
that the prosecuted Israelites shed the blood
of Christian children, as a grateful sacrifice
ito Jehovah. Their bigoted prosecutors GER
itainly had some reason to fear that such a
horrible charge might be realized by way of
righteous retaliation, but it was:no doGot
wilful fabrication, whose motive was. plum
der and the qualification of superstitious
hatred.
The idea of vicarious atonement for sin,
ito which so many have fallen victims in all
seges, is as old as superstition or the race,
:and is the basis of our modern Christianity
The Jews, although they do not believe
Christ to have been the grand atoning sac
rifice for the transgressions of man, yet no
longer make those typical sacrifices which
were once customary on this day. Perhaps
SEith the abandonment of the form they are
losing belief in the necessity of vicarious
atonement, and do not think Deity can be
appeased by a theatrical trick. Atany rate,
there is great deal of practical in6delity
to their ancient faith among the Jews-par-
,ticularly in America. Thousands do not
even observe the old forms, while many who
do eschew all the substance. They retain
the moral characteristics of their race, but
their religion is becoming pure and simple
Deism.

THE SAD EVENT.

As the last issue of thisspaper was going
to press on the lst inst, tidings came in
timefor hasty insertion of the sudden death
of two more unfortaHate miners, by bank

Cured in the Eureka claims, which have
been fatal since May last to four men-Har-
riugtoe, Maritime, Eggertsen and Platt The
banks fthesenewly opened claims are very
high, and the chasm not yet very large, so
that the chances of unexpected and perhaps
unavoidable caves have been unusually
great Eggettsen, (whose name was erro-
'neously given as Sullivan in our last,) Platt
and Chandler were all caught by such a cave
and buried. A person Standing on the bank
and seeing part 6f it about to drop, tried
to make the men below hear cry of alarm
but the roaring water as it leaped from the
pipes in their hands, made hearing impossi-

his life was saved by timely surgical and

to the ct'that, as he lay ON his face, his
head was supported on one arm, so rs to
leave small breathing space. Some time
elapsed before the other men were found 1T
was most painful and sickening to see the
miners directing their water pipes here and
there upon the fallen earth, in search of hu-
man bottles; and still more painful to observe
them pulling one dead form after another
from its muddy death place. The edge 'uf
the deep ehasm in Which their tragic end
was met, was lined with syinpathizing spec
tators, several Of whom were women.
On Sunday afternoon the dead were bur-
led side by side, in one grave, to which they
were followed by upwards of three hundred
persons in slow procession, preceded by the
Seamen's Benevolent Association, to which
society one of the deceased belonged. Rev.
|. d. Fish conducted the funeral services,
which were performed at the grave yard.
This melancholy occurrence, coming so
soon after many similar ones, excited great
deal of offeeling in the community, and clad
many faces in gloom 1t has tended to deep

of men who risk health and life for 'fhe at
