A. F. JEwETT, of Lincon, has our thanks for
the fine lot of Hamburg grapes left on our table
last Thursday.
Ed. WALSH has just finished very substantial
improvement, in the way of a gravel walk, along
Commercial street, by the Drug Store building.
Those who want stock in the street railroad,
had better not daily in the matter. The first
thing they know the stock will all be taken, and
then where will they be?
The Western bound passenger train was de-
layed yesterday, caused by freight train acci-
dent, the other side of Truckee, by which, we
learn, one man was killed, and several others
more or less injured.
The children of Auburn have, for some time,
been eager to get in that big, new school house.
We can now tell them they will have to wait but
little longer, as school begins next Monday,
without fail.
The twelve gray horses that drew Montgomery
Queens band wagon through the streets Of
Auburn, last Thursday, were pronounced, by
many the fnesteteam of horses that ever trod
soil in this county.
NJ. UoLMAN, who is, just now, engaged in
supplying people with various compounds
of his own make has our thanks, for box of
sDentifrice, which he has left us. We have
not vet tried it, therefore cannot speak of its
merits.
M. ANDREWS, Auburn's popular ban ker and
jeweler, has laid our people under obligations to
him. for fine clock, which he has presented
to the Public School, to be hung in the new
school house.
QUEENS circus troupe performed here Thurs
day afternoon and evening. They were compli-
mented with a very large audience and their
performance gave, we believe, general satisfac-
ton. The menagerie is large, and the animals
generally are remarkably fine specimens of their
kind
REV. E. E. DODGE preached his last sermon
in Auburn, at least for some time, last Sunday.
1t was fine effort. Mr.. Dodge is appointed,
by Conference. to Fairfield Solano county.
He carries with him the good wishes of all in
Auburn, who knew him. Rev. E. II. King, re-
Gently from the East, is sappointed to this circuit.
A CH1NAMAN' S horse loaded down with tin cans,
1 frying pans, and other cooking utinsils. while
passing along the street, the other day, became
frightened. We have not room for particulars,
more than to say the scene which followed was
far superior, in the way of an enjoyable enter
Il BY reference to our advertisement columns, it
will be seen that the people of Ophir, not the
least discouraged by the unfortunate loss of
/ their school house, have called an election for
/ the Goth of October, for the purpose of voting
tax to build another. That's good California
pluck.
n WE have n communication from Elder A
Woodruff, of Rosovillc, giving the particulars of
tbe death of Captain Bristow, which we are re-
n quested to publish The notice is a good one,
H but as fail to discover in it anything of i'm
portance pertaining to the life or death of that
<Sworthy gentleman, which we have not heretofore
mentioned, we reason for publishing it.
WHEN Mclaughlin and Mullen went to the
Depot. after Mrs Phelps, the elderly lady, who
had her leg broken at Emgrant Gap and was
sent down here by the Railrord Company on a
freight train, they found her lying on the floor of
the caboose, with nothing between herself and
the hard boards, except q carpetsack for head
rest. There beds in the caboose. Why
this cruelty. we know not.
P.N.-Neary all week the sky has been
effaced with clouds of greater or less density.
On Tuesday there was light sprinkle of rain at
Lincoln and other places in the valley and on
"Wednesday night, or rather early Thursday
morning, had quite refreshing shower at
3 Auburn which seems to have been very general
in the Northern part of the State. This is the
i first rain for the season.
