ALL RIGHT -Narysviile, November
! 1S.--The storm lulled for time yes
terday afternoon, but was again re-
uewed during the night and contiu-
ned until 10 o clock this morning,
when the rain ceased falling aud
there was au appearance of clearing
up. At noon, however, it came
down in good earnest again and con-
tiuued till 1 2. NJ, since which time
it has been cloudy aud calm, but no
rain a. uightfall. The Iuba river
stood ut eight fest above low water
mark and the Feather II feet. 4
rumor has been circulated in Sacra
mento and other places to-day that
this place WAS i'll danger Of another
overflow, but it is without founda-
ton. No apprehension is felt here
for its entire safety. The water is
still about four feet below the old
levee, aud the uew levee is four feet
higher than the old one. 1t will
take rise of at least eight feet to get
to the top. To effect rise of that
much it will require five times the
body of the water now floating in
the river. The floods of last Jauu-
airy opened a gap of over sixteen
hundred feet at the south end of the
bridge, and q new outlet is given to
the water in that direction, allowing
it to enter Feather river miles be-
low, and thereby preventing danger
from back water from the Feather
river The composition of the ma
terial used in the new levee is found
to be Of the very best, and Is as hard
as concrete where tested by attempts
to drive piles into it. Men are pa
trolling the levee to watch for any
weakness that may manifest itself.
The IR1AL OF McCLEAE, indicted
for rape, committed upon the person
of married woman in Pine Valley,
in October last, was commenced in
the District Court yesterday morn
ing and continued dnriug the day
and evening. 1t was resumed again
to-day, and at $50 P. n. the jury re-
tired for deliberatiou. After an alb.
sence of fifteen minutes the jury re-
turned to the Court with verdict
OF d" guilty as charged in the indict-
meut." The evidence adduced in
this case showed clearly that the
outra e perpetrated by McClear was,
even II this especially damning cate
CORY OF crime, peculiarly aggravated,
that the verdict of the jury in this
instance, is an emiueutly just and
proper one. \ man who could Q
sceud so low as TO commit the g, -.
which this man has been proven
guilty, Justly forfeits all claims upon
humanity, aud sinks even below the
level of the brute. The law, in Or
der to protect society from the rava-
ges of such monsters, has wisely
provided for their perpetual incar-
ceration.-Elko Independent, 10th.
SALTPETHE.-The Phoebe Journal
says party of men left last week to
work a strip of land in Utah where
great quantities of saltpetre are said
to exist. We have been Informed of
the discovery of an extensive deposit
of saltpetre in this county, not
thousand miles from the railroad
but the exact locality is kept a secret
for the present. Our informant says
the mineral has been analysed and
found to contain a high per centage
of nitre. 1t is worth two dollars
pound, and the demand for it is al
u-arr annal IL not greater than the
