Industrial Society for Nevada County.

1uOuSGIldl OOc16Uy IOr In 6Vadd county.
Not long ago we suggested the utility and
necessity of organizing in Nevada county a
society devoted to the interdependent inter-
ests of agriculture, mining and mechanics,
with view to promoting the same in our
midst and ascertaining what progress had
already been made in their development by
our citizens. This suggestion, we are graf
flied to say, has received most favorable CO.
temporary notice, the Nevada Journal and
Grass Valley National having both heartily
adopted it and announced an intention to
aid in effecting the object aimed at, which
we may now consider as certain of accom-
plishment. Owing to absence from the State
and subsequent pressure of other matters
requiring immediate attention, we have not
been able to give the subject that further
and fuller attention which was intended and
which it shall hereafter have in our columns
Meanwhile we present the following extract
from an able editorial in the Grass Valley
National:
We have already abundance of evidence, if we will
but take the pains to place the facts before the world
that our mountain hl-sides and valleys are capable of
being made to Gloom with all the varied fruits and
flowers of the most favored localities of the :plains.
Indeed the wonderful degree of perfection attained by
our mountain fruit and vegetables, is matter of
tonishment to all VINO have taken the pains to make
themselves acquainted with the facts. The APPLE
peach. pear and the potatoe attain perfection, which
sdnna be equaled by any similar produce of the val
ley; while isolated experiments abundanty prove that
our apparently barren hsides capable of produ-
cling all the best varieties If the grape cultivated in
Italy or France and equally well with the most famous
yinyards of the southern central portions of the
State The mountains will be able to more than
supply themselves with fruit and vegetables, while
Wine, dried peaches and winter apples will ere long
become articles of export These. with superior
facilities for the manufacture of lumber added to
inexhaustbe mineral resources. will eventually give
employment to population which will fill valleys
and ravines. and dot hill sides everywhere with
blooming orchards, gardens and lovely homes.
To hasten forward this desired consummation, let MS
organize county society forthwith, for the diffusion
OF proper knowledge of our resources and the ex-
cement of healthy emulation among our citizens
BY 50 doing Nevada may not only retain her proper
position as the leading mining the State but
also attain respectable position agricultural and
fruit growing region

THE CHURCH HoRN.--The people of San
Juan, in default of a bell, have bought a
long tin horn," to call people to church
with. Since it has been in use a revival has
taken place, the people have quit taking
their regular 'horns," and now give heed
to the church horn.
That's what our good friend of the Trinity
Journal says. We are glad to learn of the
revival, and hope it will have the effect to
increase the subscription list of the Press,
which Wash. Wright long ago called re-
ligious paper.

ANOTHER "SANDs OF LIFE."--Rev. Ed. A.
Wilson is so anxious 'sto benefit the afflicted
without cost to them, that he asks every
newspaper to advertise the fact, for one
dollar a month, that he will advise all suf-
ferers from pulmonary complaints of "a very
simple remedy" by which they may be re-
stored to health as he was. We would give
the very reverend and liberal Wilson's ad-
dress, did we not fear some people as simple
as his remedy might crafty him by such
an application as he courts.

MINING MoDEL.-A beautiful piece of me-
chanism has just been completed, and will
shortly be brought out for public exhibition
in our State; it was made at Chips Flat, in
this county, by four miners. This splendid
piece of work represents the whole sys-
tenn of mining operations in tunnel and
slulee diggngs, quartz mining, etc, with
the men at work at their different yocations.
The machinery of this work is so perfect
that every branch of mining is fully define
ated. quartz mill is connected with the
affair, worked by steam. 1t is wonderfully
and beautifully gotten up, and will elicit
much praise from the public, to whom it
will soon be introduced -Sierra Citizen

COUNTY JAiL.-The repairs ordered by the
Board of Supervisors on the county Jail are
Completed and every offender who takes UP
his abode therein must hereafter expect o

having superseded the old brick ones be-
tween the cells, and being bolted as we'll as
cemented together, rogues will have sorry
time attempting to get out. The Jail has
been provided also with the necessary sew

safety, and may now be ranked among the
strongest institutions of the kind in the

The Mariposa Gazette proposes that the

Convention, be had separately, and thinks if
there were no distracting political issues the
people would give a full expression of
opinion. Better let the convention project

islature to make such amendments to the
fundamental law as are needed, and as they
are authorized to make.

appreciate the value of the mountain lands

California become truly prosperous.
