LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

RELIEF FOR IRELAND.-To-day the COM
mittee appointed at the recent meeting called
to aid the relief fund for the suffering people
Of ireland will begin canvass of the city.
James Mcguire, Messrs. Ryan, O'Brien and
others are of the committee There is every
reason to expect that they will be received
with liberality and sent away with bountiful
contributions wherever they may call The
cry Of distress is increasing daily, and every
hours delay may mean the death of men,
women and children from the horrors of
starvation. The committee is authority for
the statement that this will be the
only call made, and that every dollar
given will be directly applied to mitigate the
woes of the suffering. What is wanted is
money to buy food. The people will not be
called upon to contribute provisions or cloth
ing. The collections should not be affected
by the fact that entertainment will be
held on st. Patrick's Day and the proceeds
given for the relief of the suffering, as all
purchases of tickets for that occasion will be
purely voluntary, and people will not be i'm
portuned regarding them, the desire being
that the moneyed contributions of this week
shall represent as fully as possible the offer
ings of our people in aid of the starving poor
across the sea.
New COURT SEAL.-The Superior Court
of Alpine county has adopted a seal and sent
a copy to the Secretary of State. AS mat
ter of art, the interior ornamentation cannot
be said to be a success. 1t consists of left
handed miner standing with pick drawn back
ward and about to strike at ledge of hard
head-rocks, as if in self-defense, and that as
soon as he had "let drive" he intended to
run. In fact, the right foot has already
turned in an awkward way and got started
some distance. A loaded wheelharrow of
small powders that water would not carry
away as mining debris to the expectant
farmers in the valley, stands by his side
hanked with another ledge of rocks, which is
relieved by background of landscape, con-
sisting of half tumbled- down broken ladder.
The engraver has also given the miner such
horribly swelled face that it so strongly sug-
gests an liberated tooth or neuralgia as to
elicit the most heartfelt sympathy, and mako
man involuntarily put his hand in his
pocket and pull out half-dollar to give the
poor fellow to go and have his tooth pulled
