Bally. Transcript COUNTY OFFICIAL PRESS. —— NEVADA CITY. WHPNESDAY, APHIL 4th,: 1866. LES OLTLTT ameementie A Muirary Farm.—lIo a late order iswued from Headquarters Department of Californis, General MeDowell makes provisions for the immediate opening and culti* swation ofa Government farm ofthe fine land free from alkali, in the vatley of the Rio Verde, near Fort McDowell, Arizona. Fer this purpose he has authotized-the employament of three discharged volunteers at a monthly rate of $50, and twenty ata monthly rate of $40, in coin, and one ration per day each. or purposes of irrigation, a *~ Yow crib-work dam will be constructed in the Rio Verde river sufficient to raise the water a few feet above tlie low water level: from which an irrigating ditch will be con” structed to convey the water over the farm’ A large portion of the:Jand will be put down in corn, and at least twenty acres in sorghum or Chinese sugar-cane for forage. This isa capital project, and ‘ene which, if successfally-carried out, will prove of very materi‘al benefit to the military in that section of the country by being the means of preventing in tne future any possible recurrences of lack of supplies as in the past. The necessity of making such provision is very evident in view of .the great cost of transporting stores from California across the deserts to the: posts in Arizona, and of the absence of any considerable amount of forage or subsistance produced in the Territory, it being'necessary even to send grain for the stock from San Francisco. In view of these facts General McDowell issued Yhis order, and our “boys in blue” will hereafter have a grain field-and storehouse of their own to depend upon. aoeneatae New INVENTION.—Oue of the small sized Stump and Rock Extracting and Elevating Machines, “invented,” says the Alta, “by Mr. Crawford, and patented in May 1862, was receatly brought to this State by Mr. Atkinson, who has associated himself with Mr. Gluyas, of the California Steam Navigation Company, in the business of manufacturing and selling such machines in the Pacific States. The invention is as simple asan ordinary coffee mill and is as little likely to get out of order. A wheel with cogs or teeth on the sides of the rim; two straight levers, one on each side of the wheel, hung at one end to the pinion of the wheel, and running out horizontally to the edge of the wheel so asto catch on the teeth as théy ,are raised or lowered, and thereby tarn the wheel slowly -around, one cog at a time; and a long bar, like the brake of a common fire engine, working with two smal! Tevera ; a hook to suspend the whole in the air from the apex of a timber triangle, and a chain to draw upand pay out, comprise the whole machinery. We saw a piece of iron, weighing 4048 pounds, lifted with the greatest ease by a man using only one hand, and ' lowered in the same manner; a boy of ten years could have lifted it as well by the same machine. This wachine weighs say twenty pounds; ‘ene could be carried anywhere in an erdinary carpet sack. A larger one, weighing less than four bundred pounds. worked by two men, lifted two boilers weighing fourteen tons, and readily as the smaller _ one did the 4048 peurds, and with four men at the brakes an engine weighing forty tons asreadily.asabar of soap can be weighed “in a grocer’s soales. The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company have ordered one of this size for lifting their engines while repairing them, it being much more convenient doitig the work by this machine than by hydraulic pressure. The purposes to which such machines can be applied are almost innumerable. Lifting the largest boulders freio placer mines, hoisting huge blocks of marble or granite from quarries, lifting the bows of a steamer off a bank, hoisting anchor on board a vessel, pulling ’ stumps of trees bodily from the ground, are only a few of them.” The machine, or instrument rather, 1 truly a remarkable invention. te Mas, Day recently gave birth to four children in Indiana.

The landlord informed them he had nothing but bacon ard mustard, and had not had apything else for a month. The bill of fare was not very tempting, but it was as the host ssid, the “best in the shop,” and the order for dinner was repeated. The dinner was presently announced, and the travellers stepped into the room. in the ceutre of which stuod a table containing a large dish ef fried bacon and a pot of mustard;and the landlord arrayed ia a flannel shirt, with sleeves rolled up, and a pair of trowsers,-with pipe in mouth; proceeded todo the honors. After he had helped the more reasonable and experienced traveller, he turned to the other with his “Shall Thelp yousir?” ‘No, no; d—d it; 1 can’ Pent-bacon.”— = Well.” said the landlord, pointing to the pot, *‘There’s the mustard, help yourself.” FATE oF THE APosTLes.—Matthew is supposed to have suffered martyrdom, or was slain in the city ef Ethiopia.
