The Bowman dam is the head source of the waters of the Bloomfield ditch; the property of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining’ Go. Itds situated on Big Canyon creek, a short distance down the creek from the foot of the Bowman grade, a’ section of the old Henness Pass road, and is constructed for the purpose. .of forming a reservoir for the ‘supplying of the Bloomfield ditch, and when fall overflows all the! lands. formerly known as the Bowman Ranch, hence the attachment of the name of Bowman to information. the dam and reservoir. The dam was commenced in 1868 and completed in 1870 to the height of 63. feet, perpendicular, I visited it at that time and ‘then thought I had never seen’a more substantial and finished piece of work. In September 1871 the merciless fiend, fire, clutched it in its grasp and destroyed it to within fifteen feet of its base. Meu were immediately dispatched to the scene of disaster and two days after work was commenced in reconstrticting. Through that. mouth, October and away into dreary November, through rains, hail, snow and the cutting winds, known only to those versant with Canyon creek, did the men remain there, and the work slowly but steadily progressed, when, having the structure completed to the height of 35 feet, a severe snow storm set in and they were compelled to desist and plodding and plunging with their blankets on their backs, sometimes reached their hips, they struggled ‘homeward, After three days snowing it tarned into a warm heavy rain and raised the waters of the canyon to an unprecedented height, and-the dain was again swept away, this time by water, making it 9 total wreck and at the same time carrying away a large amount of flume at the head of the ditch. Through the indefatigable energy, ‘characteristic of the ‘company and its officers, men were again induced to go into that wild region (wild, at that time of the year, Déc. 2ist,) and in spite of the inclemency of the season, through heavy frosts and 12 feet of snow, under the guidance and through the perseverance of Mr. B. C. Northrup, Superintendent of construction, sudceeded in so far repairing damages as to lift the running waters of the creek to the full capacity ofthe ditch, and has remained so to the present time. ‘This is the history of the dam . in the past, as near as I could learn during my short stay. Now for the present. Wending my way from Eureka, over the most dreary, rough and rocky road it was ever my fate to travel, long before I reached the site of the dam I could hear the click, click of the woodmen’s axes the crash and dull thund of falling timber, tho clang, clang of steel meeting steel, as tho, strikers strike the drill in blasting; the rattling of rocks, neighing of horses’and voices of men all mixed in one inharmonious sound.

Theit calculation was shrewd; they are adroit politicians, us they have shown in manifold ways. But they cannot overcome the fixed public sentiment and manufacture even the sublime of enthusiasm for their ticket.

It is patent to any cute observer that the managers of the movement have spared no effort and remitted no en. érgy to carry the country by ‘storm. Theit calculation was shrewd; they are adroit politicians, us they have shown in manifold ways. But they cannot overcome the fixed public sentiment and manufacture even the sublime of enthusiasm for their ticket. We have heard intimations that this was going to be another 1840 campaign; and that Greeley would sweep the country. ‘To be sure, he sweeps a great deal of dirt, but fails to accomplish the main purpose; there is “not the faintest indication that the canvass can be madejwhat his friends havetlaimed. They have done their level best to get up the enthusiasm that would bear, him on to victory; they have completely failed in this. Revolutions do not go backward. But attemptsto get them up are often aborateive: ‘This:one may be counted among the abortions.

We note that, so far, the Liberal ‘‘organs’’ wholly ignore the subject, and apparently seek to conceal the disgraceful facts from their readers. But they cannot prevent them from becoming generally known nor from working great harm to the Reform ‘‘cauge,”’ If Brown does not back out, or is not kicked. out, Mr. Greeley will lose thousands of votes im consequence of his associate's disgraceful condition at New Haven.

The affections and better naturemust be appealed to in training a horse as well as in training a child, but if only the passions are excited, the effect is depraving and injurious. . This is a vital principle, and cat be disregarded in the’ management of’ sensitive, courageous horses only at the imminent risk of spoling them. I have known many horses of naturally gentle character to ‘be spoiled by being: Whipped once, and one horse that was made vicious by being struck with a whip once while standing in his stall. I have referred to these instances to show the. danger of-rough tteatment, and. the effect that may be easily produced by ill-. os usage, ‘especially> with fine blood vous temperament. Many other cases might be cited, as such are by ho means uncommon.
