Arovillc, Sunday, November I7tb, ISS«.
Topics or the Dav.
\\ c have been favored, since the
election, with a copy of the Sacra
laonto American. Before the elec
tion the American seldom found its
way to this office, seemingly as if
conscious of the fact that it was out
■I the contest and of no consequence.
Ihe last twor or three numbers we
have seen, remind us of the palmy
■lays of General Allen, in Marysville,
when the cares of office hung not
heavily upon him, dragging down and
coining into filthy lucre, the better
feelings of his nature. There has
not been, during the year ending on
the 4th of the present month, there
! as not been an article in the Amer
ican which the General’s firmest
friend could recognize as the produc
ts of his pen. They all emitted
the offensive miasma of the May
weed, found in abundance along
abandoned Roads and Ridges! But
since the election—since the defeat
of the Know-Nothing party —beaten
< badly that there is not a “grease
t'l'ot*’ left of it —for the Republicans
elected more Members of the Logis
o
laturo than the Know-Nothings—
since all this has come upon his party
toe General “is himself again.” He
is in his element—he evidently feels
at home in his scat, and the Editorial
“toga” hangs gracefully upon him.
llis brilliant pen esohews the theme
< f defunct Know-Nothingism, and
lingers with melodious numbers upon
Democracy and democratic champi
ons. The glorious theme of Democ
racy, was a favorite one with the
General, since the days of Jackson,
and it is doubly dear to the General
now, when he finds himself the Know
Nothing State Printer to a Demo
cratic Legislature ! Only to think
of the gallons of ink, the General
will have to shed upon virgin paper,
by the light of a taper, upon the
Democracy’s head, to make his prin
ting bills reach as high a figure as
they did last year. But it will not
avail. The democracy arc for re
trenchment and reform, sir ! and we
should not be surprised to see a great
saving effected to the State, in the
item of printing, during the present
session! Is there anything wap
v Cj O
nanlmous about that idea, General !
A year or two since, the General
was decidedly in favor of a northern
man for Li. S. Senator. Now, the
American speaks of the claims of the
portion of the State in which he for
merly resided, somewhat sneeringly
as the “g-r-c-at n-or-t-h.” If the
American does not cease such talk,
we shall get up a quarrel with it
much more pungent than the present
one promises to bo.
The Region of mining country in
the neighborhood of Forbestown,
Ilansonville, and the new town of
Highlandville, is likely to become
ore long thickly settled with miners
and traders, if the placers through
which the Forbestown Ditch now
passes., idevclope as much mineral
wealth as the projectors of that work
anticipate. We are told that from
the fact that the ditch is completed,
thus enabling the miners to pros poet
the diggings thereabout, there has
been recently a very considerable in
crease of the population in those
towns their vicinities, Through
out Hutte County, wherever a suffi
cient quantity of water could be ob
tained to enable the dry diggings tu
be Worked, the miner has almost in
variably been well remunerated for
his labor, and ditches have always
proved capital investments for the
stockholders. For want of the re
quisite capital to conduct huge oper
ations of this kind, those persons who
arc willing to invest their labour and
time in such business, are compelled
to solicit the aid of European capit
il r ts. Our own men of means arc
loth to invest their money in such
undertakings, but regard them with
an eye of suspicion, as they do all
other mining operations, and seem to
forget that they are indirectly in
debted to the miners for their own
fortunes.
California capitalists should re
member that in helping to developc
the mines, they are not only doing
“the State some service,” hut are
taking the surest method of building
up a strong security for their own
fortunes, by keeping the wealth of
the State from being taken abroad,
as a large portion of it must, if the
mines are to be worked by those
whose interests and sympathies are
centered in England and elsewhere.

Begging.—We noticed a blind man, ac

alms from his better-seeing fellow men on
Saturday afternoon.
Grading Myers Street. —A subscrip
tion was put iu circulation on Saturday, for
the purpose of raising tunds fur putting
Myers Street in repair. It needs it sadly,
and we trust the requisite amount may be
raised at once, and the work commenced
without delay. The rainy season is near at
bond, nnd the grading had better be done
now, than delayed until the rains of winter
render such operations impracticable.
Fatal Causally. —To Mr. Hoskins, the
polite agent of the Robinson Family, we arc
indebted for the following account of an ac
cident that happened on Saturday morning
on the Forbcstown road, about two miles
this side of the Board Ranch. A teamster
driving a wagon loaded with lumber, was
killed by being thrown off the loud, by the
breaking of the rope with which the wheels
were locked, thereby precipitating the wag
on against a tree and crushing one of the
wheels. It is supposed that the wagon pass
ed over his head, killing him instantly. The
deceased was engaged in teaming for the
Huncut House. His name was Thomas
Scott.
Fire. —About 'J o’clock uu Saturday mor
ning. a Stable belonging to Mr. Savage, sit
uated in the rear of his house, on the
come’ of Montgomery and Lincoln st., was
found to be on fire. It was luckily discover
ed iu time to prevent its getting underway,
and was extinguished before any great dam
age had been done. The Fire originated by
children playing with matches. We
have had several narrow escapes lately, and
they should act as admonitions to our citi
zens to keep a more vigilant watch and to
observe greater care iu prevention of these
serious accidents.
Accident. —A man whose name we did
not learn,was thrown from a horse on Satur
day morning, and in the fall had his arm
broken. The horse is the same that threw
“Limerick” over his head a day or two
before. The beast bad better be allowed to
go to grass, if these are samples of bis be
havior.
Waylaid by a Lion. —As B. Difiis, of
Trinity County, was crossing one of the
mountain > iu the northern portion of the
county, iu company with a friend, a Califor
nia lion, six feet three inches in length,
sprang from a covert upon a mule he was
riding A dog, which was accompanying
the pariy, immediately seized the lion by the
throat. He received five shots before he fell
dead.

W area re. — Two Celestials who bad had
•‘a falling out" met on Saturday afternoon,
at the corner of Montgomery and Oak Su ,
and to a.venge his insults, one of them
struck the other a terrible blow in the face
with a stone, knocking him down, and se
verely bruising his face.
Ohovim.k, Not. 14, 18oG.
At a meeting of the Fire Wardens, held
this evening, it was resolved'that Mr. Willis
be employed to act as Foreman, in place of
Mr. lirowu, and that A. G. Simpson, be
Collector, at the rate of fire dollars per
week. It :fc hoped that the citizens will sub
scribe liberally, and assist their committee
in their endeavors to kerpi a good and cth
cient lock out for that scourge which has
devastated every town in this rotate.
It is impossible for the Committee to
please all. yet they endeavor to do as much
ns possible, and hi pe every property holder
will assist them in the good work.
