There was considerable of contest for the
Grass Valley districts, and among the eight or
ten applicants only two could be appointed
Each applicant had long petition, but on ex-

places, and did the best they could under the
circumstances.

SALE OF WAsHoB SToCK.-Mr. Lammon,
OF the DEMOCRAT office, sold ten feet in the
VermillOn silver lead, yesterday, for S5OO-be-
ing at the rate of fifty dollars foot. A week
or two ago, before hearing of the rich prospects,
he sold ten feet for $500. He still owns thirty
feet on the lead, and is not anxious to sell any
more. A considerable portion of the lead is
owned by parties living in this place, some Of
whom would not sell for less than $l00 foot.
New BURIAL GRoUND.-Mr. William c.

ground, about half mile from town, near the
Red Dog road, and purposes having it enclosed
and appropriated as burial ground The

pines and cedars, is about the right distance
from town, and lis the intention of Mr.. Groves
to have it laid out in lots Of suitable size for
burial purposes.

there is no occasion for any alarm in regard to
the spread Of this contagiOn.
WATER.-The bitches in this county are now
running full of water, affording an abundant

ruption on account of cold weather, during the
remainder of the winter.
