CoLFAx. - Some predicted when Colfax was
burnt down, short time ago. that she would
never be able to rise from her ashes. Those who
thought so then should see her now In spite
of her misfortunes. she is to-day full of life and
hustle. The sound of saw and hammer is heard
on every side; new and substantial buildings are
fast rising up, bespeaking the energy of her cit-
zens. Several brick buildings will be constructed d
as soon as the bricks can be burnt, and at the
present rate of improvements, it is thought that
in less than one year from date of the fire, Colfax
will be larger town of better buildings than it
ever was. The survey of the narrow guage rail
road, from Cofax to Nevada city, is now in pro
gress, and work on the road will doubtless, soon
be commenced which will afford another stimu-
lus to the town which will be as lasting as the
road itself. Taking into consideration the ex-
tensive wood business; the agricultural interest;
the mining interest besides the staging and
transportation business, which is, and will be
carried on at Colfax for long years yet to come
the outlook of the town is, in every way, en-
couraging,

and various games were INDUCED in with ami

which the various sports were continued until

Dutch FLAT-This is next to Auburn the
of the year. times are quite lively, and the peo-
pie, almost without exception, are in good spirits
On first sight it impresses the stranger favoraby
from the good condition of its structures. The
buildings, whether dwelling house or place Of
business, haze rather new and fresh appearance
though they had just been repaired and
painted, and the gardens trimmed up, the door
yards cleaned out, and the porches scrubbed off,
for centennial celebration, all of which is an
unmistakable indication of thrift. OF course
and not the rule, as in some places we have been
in, in our day l. very business house seems to
be doing a good business and every dwelling
house is occupied, which is indication
that the town is not too big for its business
Indeed it seems not big enough, as we noticed
new buildings are being erected and old ones
are being repaired and enlarged When we stol
to consider the backing which this town has, we
are not surprised at its thrift Besides its very
extensive mines mentioned in another place, il
amounts TO millions of feet annually. Then
again, there are numerous rich mining camps in
that vicinity, among which are Red Dog Little
York, and You Bet, which draw their supplies
mainly from, or by way of, Dutch Flat. In fact
the town is one of the livelest in this county
and everything surrounding it goes to show that
it will continue so for many years to come.

GooD TEMPLARs WINE.-The Stockton Iadc-
pended tells of new kind of wine made by
James Smyth, who resides few miles from that
city. 1t is described as n simple and very sue
cesstul process of making light quality OF
sweet, unintoxicating wine The juice is
pressed from the fruit in the ordinary way, and
then placed in a huge vat or tank, carefully
boiled and the impurities skinned off as they
rise to the surface. After the juice thus treated
becomes cool, it is placed in bottles or barrels,
as may be desired and then slowed away for
use. He has tried this process during the last
two years, and he finds that there is no trouble
whatever i'll keeping the wine thus made. SO
veil pleased is he with the process that he pro-
poses to make all his wine hereafter in the same
manner. By the boiling process it does not be-
come necessary to rack off the wine, rs it is per-
fectly clear and free from all impurities as soon
as the operation is completed. The wine thus
made, he says, is wholly free from Intoxicating
qualities, and is a beverage to the use of which
on the table the most rigid temperance advocate
could not reasonably object.

FEMALE PEDESTRIAN. Quite number Of our
citizens went up to the depot, last Monday, to
see the woman, as she passed through. who
had walked all the way from Kansas city in
search of q truant husband. 1t is said she goes
along with head up and eyes bent ahead, at a
rate that would do justice to a red man of the
forest She was repeatedly offered ride by
railroad conductors but refused on account of
the insecurity of railroad travelling 1t would
seem she must have soft spot somewhere in
her head, and though she deserves a husband
for her pains, that husband will be the biggest
fool of the two if he ever lets her catch him.

IHE wood along the line of the railroad be-
