The Rash Ilashcnah (New Year) commencing at 6 p. the store of Livingston Jc Co.

will close at that hour and remain closed until to-morrow (Thursday) evening at 6 o'clock, lor tne observance of the holiday. A skilled machinist has gone to the Temescal tin mine to put the pumping and other machinery into working order. This looks like business, at least. In the man referred to, they have certainly a most skillfull machinist. The north wind, yesterday, tumbled over parts of what remained of the brick walls on the Burt lot adjoining the Ruf- fen building.

Ropes were stretched across the sidewalk shutting off that section of the sidewalk from travel. Orders iroin tlie Adjutant-ijenerars office announce that the second annual target practice of the California militia will be held in September or October, at such time and place as the commanders of the brigades may respectively desig nate. Yesterday, about 3 :30 p. Third street was enlivened with a runaway, The milk wagon of the Holstein dairy came thundering down Third Ftreet in a way recklessly indifferent to all outside creation. Opposite the Sazerac, however Mr.

Ilevman, the Turn Verein instructor jumped in the wagon from behind and grasping the lines soon had the inapet uous brutes under control. It was a sal- Ian feat. The lawyers say that Judge Rowell treats precedents with an utterly icon oclastic irreverence. Why not? He is not conducting his court in the past but in the present. Precedents are fdivices of stupidity in too many instances, anyhow.

The man who kneels in servility before precedent is a man too dense, dull and stiv pid to comprenend tne meaning ot pro gression. Yesterday, at 3 p.m., the remains of Mrs. John Driver were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends of the family, bhe was a most estimable woman, deeply and deservedly respected by a large circle of friends Her family have the sympathy which such an irreparable loss brings forth, and the death of this good wife and devoted motner was an irreparable loss to an e. cellent family. To-day, the Asylum Commissioners meet at Starke's to consider the location of the site for the branch insane asylum Mr.

Grant, the genial and courteous Ventura Commissioner, was in the city yesterday. The Cockier learns that the Governor would like to have final action postponed until a week from to-morrow when he. with an expeit doctor and the superintendent of one of the asylums will arrive, wnen ttio whole business could be wound up at once. What ac tion the Commission may see fit to take, of course, remains to be determined. Mr.

John Cooley and Ed. Miller have returned from the Colorado, after being absent a month on a prospecting trip. Mr. Coolev says that the weather on the river was delightful. They found some eood prospects and brought rich specimens back with them, the wagon returns to-day, but Mr.

Cooley will be detained some time yet. He visited the Smith Haile and McCoy ledge, while at the river, and pronounces it as full of the richest promise for a fine mine says that there is no doubt of its surface rich ness, in fact. Mr. Cooley is modestly reticent on the prospect ol his own mine at Bagdad, but experts who have examined it say that, with his usual luck, Jack has struck it rich. He intends to operate on the desert all winter.

Tho Fire Threatening tbo City. Mr. P. Walker and Mr. T.

M. Lackey went on a "prospecting" tour yesterday in the mountains. They went up the Devil Canyon as far as the lime kiln and halted for lunch, when a woman with three children came rushing down the road fleeing from the fire, which was surrounding her house. The fire came nearly destroying the Gird and Hunt bee ranches and gave the Segars place a close call, while Johnny Marshall's barn and outhouses were licked up by the flames, the dwelling house being saved with great difficulty. Messrs.

Walker and Lackey were several times sur rounded by the flames, a coat in the wagon being ignited by the sparks. At 9 o'clock last night the fire was within four miles of town, and Mr. Walker says that if there is a north wind this morning the fire will inevitably reach the outskirts of the city, and if it does, the consequences must be serious. He pertinently suggests that the authorities should, this morning, take prompt measures to arrest the progress of the advancing flames, and the Courier emphatically agrees with him. By all means, if the north wind is blowing this morning.

let a force of men be organized to stay its advance on the citv. Alleged Arson. The second trial of Ben Tylie for arson was commenced yesterday before Judge Rowell. It will be remembered that on the first trial the jury disagreed, but the District Attorney is determined to keep oa "trying" until some jury arrives at some kind of a verdict, and in this public opinion will sustain him. What the verdict ought to be, of course, would be manifestly improper for the Cocrier to say at this juncture, though it certainly has a strongly defined opinion, which it will have no objection in airing after the trial.

lo go into the details ot the evi dence or the surroundings of the case is unnecessarv. The readers of the Courier are as familiar with the facts as the reporters of the trial themselves. Public opinion takes a great interest in the case, however, hence if any new developments present themselves the Cockier will give them in full. As yet. though, the evidence is about identical with that gone over before.

Not much time was wasted in preliminaries. The lawyers whoconducted the first case again appear in court, but there is a new jury, and the Cocrier believes an excellent jury. They are men of character and standing, all of them, according to repute iu their respective localities. With men of intelligence and conscience, it surely ought not to be impossible to obtain a verdict in this case. The names of the jurors are appended E.

We wish to thank our friends for their comforting words and many acts of kindness during the long and painful illness of our dear wife and mother. May life's fullest blessings attend and preserve them. Johx Driver axo Family. Make It Felony. Somebody, or a good many some bodies, ought to suffer for their viscious-ness or carelessness in starting thete devastating mountain fires.

It is unpar donable, this waste of timber and grass this wanton vandalism this criminal destruction of the forests, for such de struction a crime, and a crime of serious magnitude, a crime which should be made a felonv. Even the man who carelessly btarts such a fire as is now rauinc on the mountains north and northwest of town, ought to be very severely punished. There is infinitely more lumber destroyed by these mount ain nres than by the woodman ax. Such a waste of valuable timber is la mentable. Where the ax cutB down a tree, nature generally provides another, often two, but where the devouring name passes, the efforts of nature to supply the loss are impotent, at least for generations.

This deforesting of the mountains will surely be attended with disastrous consequences if persisted in The flow of our mountain streams will most certainly be affected injuriously by the destruction of the mountain forests. A hundred historical instances teach us this. The State Government, at whatever cost, should stop this vandalism or consequences the most deplorable must ensue, and in the not so distant future neither. Forest rangers, or forest police, if you will, should be appointed and paid bv the State foreverv timber county in California. The most rigorous prevent ive measures ought to be taken at once for the preservation of our forests, even to the extent of making such incendi arism as that under comment, a felony.

Prognostication. The northers are reporting themselves early in this year of grace. They did so last year, upon which the Cocrier pre dicted that what the farmers call a good year, was probable. Years ago, men who were then old citizens and, as farm ers, interested in the weather, told the i writer that they were always pleased when the "northers" commenced early, When they come early in the fall, they are content to let the farmer be in peace the ensuing spring. As a general rule, when they do not come in the fall, we have them, and plenty of them, late in the spring, just when they do the most harm.

Again, the old settler holds that early northers are the sure forerunners of wet winter. For, taking this view of the early advent of the "Northern ers," as the biographer, Mr. Frazee, called them in his celebrated book on San Bernardino, the Citrograph read the Cocrier a pungent lesson on prognosti cation. Of course, in California, cli matic "rules" are very much the opposite of being absolute, and are often quite the reverse. Consequently, should the present year prove an exception, the Citrograph will have no right to say, "We told you so." Something which that chuckier, bcip, would enjoy saying very much.
