It seems to be the policy to send these out by the score in hopes that some may be made to stick. In the-upper part of the county numerous falsehoods have been ‘circulated against the candidate” for Senator, members of Assembly and others, declaring these candidates ‘in favor of unlimited Chinese immigration, cutting down the wages of working men, etc., and that all that is necéssary to abolish Giant Powder, stop Chinese immigration and bring a general millenium is to elect O’Cennor. Intelligent men will simply laugh at these stories, and they are really so preposperous that they hardly merit notice, but the design is evident, They hope to make capital among the ignorant against the Republican ticket, und it would be well for Republicans throughout the county © remember this, and to ask themselves a few questions: Have those who circulated these stories a real interest in the welfare of this county, or are they not rather working for a-consider~ tion? Are not the charges made which are not too ridiculous for belief, manifostly originated in a desire to injure the opponents of their candidates ? and is it not a fact that honest men will not be guilty of tearing down one man’s reputation to build up another. So far as we have heard these reports, though quietly circulated, have only served to those .in whose interests the parties work. They act very much as the boomerang, coming back upon the heads of the origina~ tors, while they serve the good purpose. of opening the eyes of Republicans to the designs of the enomy, and making them more determined to stand by the ticket in the contest. Come To Timz.—The Graes Valley Union, in speaking of the Chinese question, says: ‘< ~~ We will not allow the TRANSCKIPT or any other paper which was with us on the Chinese question’ to flop over, and then pyint at our position in order vo make polititica! capital for its party.

None ofthese grapes will begin to compare-efther in size or delicacy of flavor with the grapes grown in San Bernardino county and about Los Angeles. Fresh figs in season sell readily for fifteen cents each. Oregoa pippin: apples would command a high . price, for there are no apples which are grown or this side that will begin to with: them. Apricots and nectarines. are seldom.seen in market even during the season of their growth. They are such a delicate fruit, and their buds so easily affected by cold noftheily winds, that very few fruit . growers care or even attempt to raise them now-a-days.” MASSACHUSETTS AND CALIFORNIA.— In his Chico speech, Train, alluding to Gen. Bidwell’s farm said: “How many acres im this field, General? One thousand. How much to the acre? Twenty-five bushels. Let tis drive over and seo them cat and thresh and bag. What a strange sight! Here we are in the middle of this wonderful field. Hére are the four-horse headers, and two-horse wagon loaded, filled. in three minutes by the watch—three men cutting their twenty acres a day. Under the trees, there is the ten-horse engine, threshing out the grain—two bushels a minute! What econumy of labor! Compare this machinery of production with the little one-hérse farm in Waltham, Massachusetts; where I wus raised, of six handred acres. .Where five hundred and fifty acres were rocks and trees, and the land and ‘stones, ered the same perennial crop of stonés.

Med joke on a resident of Dog C > the other day, says the Shasta uric. ‘he party referred to is a bachelor, and lives on the Wagot-road, A few days ago an emigrant wagon from Oregon came along and camped near our friend’s place. The bead of the family soon made himself acquainted with the proprictor of the premises, and asked him why he didn’t have a woman to ‘Keep house for him. The answer was that he intended to marry just a8 soon as tre" could find a woman willing to enter the bonds of matrimony. The Oregonian remarked that he could find bim a partner if he would take her. The bache or said that was. right into his hand, and the emigrant invited him to hiscamp. The emigrant called upon a bouncing damsel of about twenty years, and informed her that the gentle~ marry,” and willing to take her for better or for worse. The. damsel, de~ lighted with the prospect, advanced, and him thatshe was glad to see hini, and was ready to marry him at the “drop of a hat,” while the old lady hastened up to congratulate her “darver” on her good luck. Surprised and alarmed at the sérious turn matters had taken, our friend, who is constitutionally opposed to the institution of matrimony, endeavored to explain by saying that he only joking and did not want to marry. At this the Oregonian becawe indignant, and the would-ve-bride requestthe: varmintin hia tracks.” At this aff ctionute suggestion the bachelor he heard being the voice of the old lady consoling her “darter” with the remark that it was best to“let the bilk go.” aaa .

The emigrant called upon a bouncing damsel of about twenty years, and informed her that the gentle~ marry,” and willing to take her for better or for worse. The. damsel, de~ lighted with the prospect, advanced, and him thatshe was glad to see hini, and was ready to marry him at the “drop of a hat,” while the old lady hastened up to congratulate her “darver” on her good luck. Surprised and alarmed at the sérious turn matters had taken, our friend, who is constitutionally opposed to the institution of matrimony, endeavored to explain by saying that he only joking and did not want to marry. At this the Oregonian becawe indignant, and the would-ve-bride requestthe: varmintin hia tracks.” At this aff ctionute suggestion the bachelor he heard being the voice of the old lady consoling her “darter” with the remark that it was best to“let the bilk go.” aaa .
