STILL ANoTHgR.-Mr. Cannon while pro
ceedng to the American Ranch on his horse
on Saturday night last, was suddenly sprung
upon by FIVE ruiiiaus, who with oaths, com.
manded him to stand and deliver at the
came time one Of them made spring for the
bride. The horse being skittish animal,
Immediately took fright and broke away from
the robber. A shot as fred after Mr. Can
non which grazed bis ear, aud increased the
speed of the horse, and soon brought him to
bis house. It appears that Mr.. Cannon was
mistook for Thedore Miller. Esq, who was
agent for ditch being constructed below
this place, and had gone to Nevada for funds
TO pay the hands. This the robbers got
wind Of, and Mr. Cannon having horse sim
liar to Mr.. Miller's, the robbers made the
mistake.

SINGULAR OccURRENcs.-A few nights
since. about 10 o'clock, an OK fell into a
shaft about 80 feet deep, near Grass Valley.
The shaft had besn covered over with brush,
and it is supposed the OK was turning round,
when his feet slipped, bis hind parts went
down first. He was discovered soon after
by man, who gave the alarm, and assistance
being procured. sheers were rugged over the
shaft, tackle procured, and the OK hoisted
out by the horns. He appeared to de little
stiff and numb. but after some rubbing be
got up on bis feet, and walked up to the cor
raj, receiving no other injuries excepting a
few scratches.

GRAPEs-A few days since We saw bunch
Of grapes from the ranch Of J. B. Under
wood, near tbis place, tha, exhibited remark
able perfection. Tha bunch consisted OF three
lobes each Of which strutted out, large, SOL
id and infexible, with q redundance Of juicy
and luscious berries, which were literally
lattened and elongated from their crowded
condition. SO dense was the fruit ilnpacted
upon the stem, that it was almost a riddle to
know where to commence picking them.
They were raised upon southern expo
sure of about ten degrees slope. on red land
and among rocks. The ground has been
KEEP; moist continually, the facilities for irri.
CATION being ample.
To raise fine aud perfect grapes, the land
must be kept moist. The grapes are few on
a stem, aud the berries indifcrenily filed
where the soil fails to be properly watered
These Horace-Greely. sub-soil, dry notions
about agriculture, will starve man in such
a country as this. First get q good piece
Of land and then stream OF water. of com
parative volume, IL the ground is not
springy, and then, with adequate industry
and skill, you will do well, and have some
thing to be proud Of, otherwise, failure TO
greater or less extent Is inevitable.
The vintage business is now just being in
uugurated in this county and in it there is
the most ample field for getting rich. A
vineyard on one Of the many large canals
that intersect this county, is better than u
good farm or an Illinois Railroad
You can take up the land for one TO NOR
row, without money and without price, if
you choose; fence it, plant out a few thou
sand cuttings Of the Catawoa vine, and with
proper attention, in few years you will
have an income, which in no long period will
guarantee an ample fortune. 1t may be
deemed ideal, but we have n confidence
akin TO knowledge, that il il only a ques

be exhausted, and the vast bodies Of water,

all pay tribute, will be turned in TO give
water to the the thrifty vineyards; when the
foothills from Nevada to Johnson's ranch,
and far to the north, aud far tn the south,
will be decked with the fruitful and clustering
vine; when homes, happier than now, shall
rejoice among the sunny slopes and every
where the well fed press shall flow with glad

Saturday, the 18th inst, at 4 O'Clock, Mr.
Peck, one Of the engineers Of the Snow
Ledge Mill, near Allison Ranch, becoming
eniangled 10 the cogs Of the pinion wheel,
attached TO the cylinder which works the

In n horrible manner. The limb was ampu-

rnE PARDONIxG OF WALLACE
GEHR.

I
We see by the Sacramento papers that this
notorious robber has been pardoned by Gov
ernor Weller. Wallace Gehr, 1t will be re-
mcmbered, was sentenced some two years
since, for highway robbery, TO ten years in
the States prIson; and at the time, many per
sons eensured the District Judge for being so
lcnient. believing that ha richly deserved
the extreme penalty OF the Law. Being the
leader of gang OF thieves and cut throats.
be vas looked upon as one Of the worst, IL
not the most dangerous man in Nevada
county The pardoning power exercised by
Gov. Weller, in this instance, has caused
considerable Dissatisfaction, even among bis
friends, who are not acquai2ia1STith the cir
cumstances of his pardon, add his enemies
are making strong hobby OF it to Influence
the people Of Nevada county against him in
his senatorial aspirations. Toplace the mat
ter in its true light before our readers, we
propose to give briefly the causes which pro-
cured his liberation.
Since Gehr's incarceration he has main
iained good character, thereby obtaining
the good will Of his keepers-so much so.
that for the past year he has had full con-
lrol OF the iron work in the State prison, al
so the freedom OF the institution. Recently
the officers received letter from his parents
stating that they were sick, and in very
pleading and heartrending manner. begged
the officers to use their influence with the
Executive, to have him liberated, and send
ing money to pay his passage to the Allan
tic States. Mr.. Lockwood, of this place, be-
ing on a visit to San Quentin, last August,
was induced by the officers. Messrs McAuley
and TO sign an application for
pardon, which notice was published in the
Nevada Journal, and copy Of the applica-
ton was also served on the District Judge
and District Attorney OF Nevada County
No remonstrance being sent down against
his liberation, application was made to Gov
Weller, who took the case in hand. In the
meantime bis parents had died, aud letters
came on that his presence was necessary
there to settle up the estate. Governor
Weller, after reviewing ell the facts, his
good behavior, and the entreat:ng letter
from his parents, pardOncd him, with the
following provision: That he NEVER enter
the State OF California again. Should he do
so, to be re-arrested, and serve out the re-
mainder OF his term Of ten years" Cher
will leave on the next steamer for home, and
says that having reformed, he intends pur-
suing an honest livelihood in the Atlantic
States.
We were OF those. before we heard the par
ticulars. that ccnsured the Executive, for par
doning such man as Cher, who was as bad
as men can he, and who, had he his desserts,
would have felt the fond embrace OF an hemp
en- rope. But as the matter now stands, the
pardon being conditional. the State rid Of
the expense of keeping him, and the disposi-
ton shown hy him for some time Of reform,
we cay that as far as this instance is concerned
we cannot see that the pardoning power has
been abused by Gov. Weller in any manner
whatsoever.
