PnEsENrAuoN.-W feel much pleasure
in recording very pleasant incident
that occurred on Sunday. Messrs Hill
yer & Thayer, friends of Mr.. McCluskey
gave that gentleman very substantial
token of the kindness and esteem they |
feel for him as friend, and the respect |
in which they hold his manly and
straightforward character. We were
present on the interesting occasion,
when Mr.. Thayer, with. some very neat
and appropriate words, on behalf Of him
self and Mr.. Hillyer, presented Mr.. Nc
Cluskey with a very handsome gold
watch and chain. Mr.. McCluskey, who
was affectediy surprised, accepted the
costly gift with deeply felt and earnest
thanks In few words, that betrayed
how much he was affected with the testi-
mony of the regard of his friends, he ex.
pressed his sense of their kindness and
determination to do all in his power to
continue and preserve the friendship
which had SO long mutually existed be-
tween them: The party of friends after
wards partook of splendid lunch when,
over some generous wine, mutual good
wishes were interchanged. For our own
part, we sincerely hope that the hands o
the splendid gift bestowed on MIR. Me-
Cluskey by his friends, may never poin =
to the hour of adversely for him or foi
them. ..-.
TIE SrocK MARKET in San francisco
yesteray seems to have been stirred
somewhat from the late apathy. Mead
ow Valley rose from 25A the closing
price on Saturday, to 2Sh at the close
yesterday The clears may growl rs
much as they please, but the steady out
fow OF bullion from the Pioc he mines is
to carry. Fisk rmarked that the "bulls
of the gold market could rot Withstand
the weight of the gold in the U. S. Treas
nry however easily they could carry the
phantom gold of Wall street. So with
the San Francisco stock sharps. They
may squeeze and growl as much as they
please, but they will find it no easy task
to persuade the public that our mines
are but of little value when the tangible
evidence of their worth is made potent
by the unfailing yield of bullion. The
proof OF the pudding is in the eating
and when mines are constantly paying
dividends instead OF demanding assess
ments, the public at large will no
be apt to pay much attention to the
California street cliques, keen and know
ing as they are.
.s CLEANING UP.-We were much gratifiet
a. hat kho olr &c NJ

Dish and loose rocks that have SO lonI
disfigured them. We shall be glad to bi,
long farewell to the piles of vast
paper, old boots, rags, broken boxes an
shavings that have accumulated alon
onr thorougfares. When one of thos
delightful Washoe zephyrs, as Mar
Twain christened them, wing their gent
passage down Main street the eyes OF til
passers are not only filled with dust, br
paper, old socks. rags and straw fly roun
in the most admirable confusion. Til
dust will have to be put up with. We SUI
pose, but the other nuisances can al
ought to be prevented.
STARTED UP.-The Meadow Vale
Company's mill started up last evenir

full capacity. This will be good ne,

the receipt of dividends. Under 4

agement the Meadow Valley will certai

doubted value of its claims SO we'll G
title it.
FALSE ALARM was sounded vesterda
In the forenoon huge volume of smo

stovepipes of Lagrue's restaurant. II
minute or two the streets were black vi
