Jury trial Never Fulfilied. 2 Thirty years or more ago, Cement Hill, onits northern slope, far! down toward the Yuba ‘canyon,--was the abiding place of a busy throng of workers delving for the precious gold, But few remain at this day, of the many, who then made the hills echo with the sound of their daily tol. Out there is one spot, on the brow of a gently sloping knoll, known as ‘‘the lone pine grave,” that is looked upon by the old-time residents with the attaches to hallowed ground. Local tradition and the abouts has woveu around this lonely resting place of the dead a wierd interest that widens and intensifies with the passing year. Once a year with euch returning spring the earliest and most fragrant of wild flowers are scattered with lavish profusion over the lonely mound, by whose. hand it is done none seem to know. A young and beautiiul woman—a _ wife—with her still born babe on her pulseless vosom was here laid to rest beneath the spreading arms of a giant pine, awaiting the final summons to the quick and the dead. It is believed, and told. beside many a cabin fire, that at’stuted timesshe and her child rise from their narrow home and walk hand.in hand beneath the evergreen arches with which the growth of years has embowered the surroundings of her earthly tomb. At night shining lights ure seen descending from heavens vault and to hover above the homeofthe dead. Thechildish prattle of an infant voice mingled with the graver toies of the mother are often heard. Snatches of songs of the most exquisite melody float over the hills, mingled with the tadence of the sighing wind through the lofty tops of the swaying pines. Grey-haired men whoknew this fair woman in her life time profess to religiously believe that her spirit form oft wanders. restlessly among the scenes of her short married life, and he would be a bold man) who to their face would dare to express a doubt of their sincerity. One fold man, who has passed the tally mark of years drawn at three score and ten, and who witnessed the death and burial of these now unearthly visitants of the Yuta hills, tells that a promise was made by the husband she loved that at some tine her body and her infant child should be taken to the far East, there to rest beside a fond mother who had gone before. “Who knows,”’ said he, ‘‘but that her spirit roams uueasily around the scene waiting for a fulfillment of the ‘vow too hastily made and perhaps too olive culttire isfrom the pen of a or sharp soil. olive ‘orchard, I he advises that ‘the What an Old Horticulturist Has to Say About it. The following suggestions relative to practical and experienced horticulturist. The olive thrives best in gravelly It does not require so rich a soil as is generally imagined, as it is by nature an evergreen, full of life, hardy and vigorous. —It. must, howwhen starting, and taking root and hold upon the soil. For starting an land be plowed deep, and twice if possible. The second plowing should be to a depth of from 14 to 16 inches and in most cases the side-hill plow will be found:best suited to the work. The holes for the trees should not be less than two’ feet square in all cases. In. laying off the planting, if a poor spot is met with, where a tree must be tis m placed about the tree so that all trees may get an-even start Otherwise the al orchard will look spotted, bad in appearance, and also in the matter of profitable results. To get the tree well started is the main thing. This once done, its natural vigor, together with reasonable cultivation will carry it through, and render success certain. It most not’ be thought, that when the olive is planted all is done. , This is a great mistake, and the plan would be to begin two weeks after planting, and-cultivate the soil of the. orchard thoroughly, at least, once a week for the first season, up-to September Ist. This course, other thinzs being equal, cai hardly fail to give a fine start to the tree, and much satisfaction to the} : grower. Olive trees should beset no less than 35 feet-apart, though many will say thata much less distance-will do. Many dislike the idea of sparing go much land to an olive orchard, saying thatas it yields little or nothin, for several years, they cannot afford so-far apart. To such, ~ he-"says: plant grape vines, or apricots, or peaches, between your olive trees and by the time the later are in bearing condition and begin to need all the room in the orchard, many of the~former may be removed, as they will by that time have already paid well for the care and expense devoted to them. Soil and culture on which the olive} j will thrivecan hardly fail to produce the other fruits mentioned with success and profit. From six to ten years are required to bring an olive orchard into really successful and profitable bearing. In this time several crops of the fruit named may be secured, probably more than enough to pay for quickly forgotten? And who does know? Who can fathom the mystery beyond the grave, or tell of the heart though dead tous yet whom, through faith, we believe do live again. Startling Testimony. The trial of Hobson vs. the Sacramento Bee, for libel, will take place in afew weeks. On a former trial of this case some fifteen or twenty residents of this county were subpoened as witnesses on the part of the prosecution, that is to say, the court orderad ts legal documents to be served but’ ihe aforesaid numed persons hud gone off to spend their summer vacation, and could not <bg_ found—therefore no testifying was die on the part ofthe Absentees aforesaid. It is -tiogg said that’ the prosecution is deteribined ty have theae summer excursionists noti-s fied-in due time, by having the documerits served simultaneous with the lay fixed for trial. If the last named aforesaid. witnesses are found in due season thereof, the aforesaid attorneys for the aforesaid plaintiff expect to bring out some startling testimony. Rare Specimens. A few days ago we sawa number of specimens of that ‘“‘rare”’ and ‘‘remarkable” plant which has been named the ‘‘darlingtonian’’ by the botanists at the East, but is known here by the more expressive name of “fly trap.” The plant grows mostly on the easterly slope of the hills, in wet, marshy ground, ant is found in large quantities in Bloomfield and Eureka townships, also on the head waters of Bear river. Fremont probably found it near the head of Bear the specimen was found. We take i gut, hence the name. Death of Jobn Laney. — John Laney, an old resident of thi upright man.

The new edition of 1888 is now ready, culture of the olive orchard, The olive cannot be expected to arrive at a) stage of actual profit till it has attained an age of from seven to ten years. But it has its importaat advantages.: After it has been carefully cultivated up to that age, it will prove more prefitable than any other fruit; the ‘older the tree the better the fruit, and the greater the quantity.The wood of the olive for the first few years of its growth is very fine grain, and the tree smal. This condition affords excellent holding room for thé brown and black scale, the pest to which the glive is principally subject. Heres tho’ necessity for clean stock to start with cannot be too. forcibly impressed upon the grower. : Faulty Surveys. » ©. #. Conrade, Government agent, in this county looking into the matter of incorrect land surveys. The Union says in section 18, township 14 north, range 8 east, he has found that several fractional lots platted on the maps on the western boundary of the section do not exist in fact, as actual survey of the east and west section lines show t at they are too short to admit of the lots of the size described. If an actual survey of the township should be made it would undoubtedly be found that the fractional lots of sections 6, 7, 18, 19, 30 and 31, are much less in size than actually called for on the official, maps or entirely absent, the result of careless, ignorant or corrupt surveying on the part -of the person who did the work for the Government many years ago. Other townships in this county are cimilarly gituated as the one in question, and from the same cause. i A New Comet. ‘.

Jury trial Never Fulfilied. 2 Thirty years or more ago, Cement Hill, onits northern slope, far! down toward the Yuba ‘canyon,--was the abiding place of a busy throng of workers delving for the precious gold, But few remain at this day, of the many, who then made the hills echo with the sound of their daily tol. Out there is one spot, on the brow of a gently sloping knoll, known as ‘‘the lone pine grave,” that is looked upon by the old-time residents with the attaches to hallowed ground. Local tradition and the abouts has woveu around this lonely resting place of the dead a wierd interest that widens and intensifies with the passing year. Once a year with euch returning spring the earliest and most fragrant of wild flowers are scattered with lavish profusion over the lonely mound, by whose. hand it is done none seem to know. A young and beautiiul woman—a _ wife—with her still born babe on her pulseless vosom was here laid to rest beneath the spreading arms of a giant pine, awaiting the final summons to the quick and the dead. It is believed, and told. beside many a cabin fire, that at’stuted timesshe and her child rise from their narrow home and walk hand.in hand beneath the evergreen arches with which the growth of years has embowered the surroundings of her earthly tomb. At night shining lights ure seen descending from heavens vault and to hover above the homeofthe dead. Thechildish prattle of an infant voice mingled with the graver toies of the mother are often heard. Snatches of songs of the most exquisite melody float over the hills, mingled with the tadence of the sighing wind through the lofty tops of the swaying pines. Grey-haired men whoknew this fair woman in her life time profess to religiously believe that her spirit form oft wanders. restlessly among the scenes of her short married life, and he would be a bold man) who to their face would dare to express a doubt of their sincerity. One fold man, who has passed the tally mark of years drawn at three score and ten, and who witnessed the death and burial of these now unearthly visitants of the Yuta hills, tells that a promise was made by the husband she loved that at some tine her body and her infant child should be taken to the far East, there to rest beside a fond mother who had gone before. “Who knows,”’ said he, ‘‘but that her spirit roams uueasily around the scene waiting for a fulfillment of the ‘vow too hastily made and perhaps too olive culttire isfrom the pen of a or sharp soil. olive ‘orchard, I he advises that ‘the What an Old Horticulturist Has to Say About it. The following suggestions relative to practical and experienced horticulturist. The olive thrives best in gravelly It does not require so rich a soil as is generally imagined, as it is by nature an evergreen, full of life, hardy and vigorous. —It. must, howwhen starting, and taking root and hold upon the soil. For starting an land be plowed deep, and twice if possible. The second plowing should be to a depth of from 14 to 16 inches and in most cases the side-hill plow will be found:best suited to the work. The holes for the trees should not be less than two’ feet square in all cases. In. laying off the planting, if a poor spot is met with, where a tree must be tis m placed about the tree so that all trees may get an-even start Otherwise the al orchard will look spotted, bad in appearance, and also in the matter of profitable results. To get the tree well started is the main thing. This once done, its natural vigor, together with reasonable cultivation will carry it through, and render success certain. It most not’ be thought, that when the olive is planted all is done. , This is a great mistake, and the plan would be to begin two weeks after planting, and-cultivate the soil of the. orchard thoroughly, at least, once a week for the first season, up-to September Ist. This course, other thinzs being equal, cai hardly fail to give a fine start to the tree, and much satisfaction to the} : grower. Olive trees should beset no less than 35 feet-apart, though many will say thata much less distance-will do. Many dislike the idea of sparing go much land to an olive orchard, saying thatas it yields little or nothin, for several years, they cannot afford so-far apart. To such, ~ he-"says: plant grape vines, or apricots, or peaches, between your olive trees and by the time the later are in bearing condition and begin to need all the room in the orchard, many of the~former may be removed, as they will by that time have already paid well for the care and expense devoted to them. Soil and culture on which the olive} j will thrivecan hardly fail to produce the other fruits mentioned with success and profit. From six to ten years are required to bring an olive orchard into really successful and profitable bearing. In this time several crops of the fruit named may be secured, probably more than enough to pay for quickly forgotten? And who does know? Who can fathom the mystery beyond the grave, or tell of the heart though dead tous yet whom, through faith, we believe do live again. Startling Testimony. The trial of Hobson vs. the Sacramento Bee, for libel, will take place in afew weeks. On a former trial of this case some fifteen or twenty residents of this county were subpoened as witnesses on the part of the prosecution, that is to say, the court orderad ts legal documents to be served but’ ihe aforesaid numed persons hud gone off to spend their summer vacation, and could not <bg_ found—therefore no testifying was die on the part ofthe Absentees aforesaid.

If the last named aforesaid. witnesses are found in due season thereof, the aforesaid attorneys for the aforesaid plaintiff expect to bring out some startling testimony. Rare Specimens. A few days ago we sawa number of specimens of that ‘“‘rare”’ and ‘‘remarkable” plant which has been named the ‘‘darlingtonian’’ by the botanists at the East, but is known here by the more expressive name of “fly trap.” The plant grows mostly on the easterly slope of the hills, in wet, marshy ground, ant is found in large quantities in Bloomfield and Eureka townships, also on the head waters of Bear river. Fremont probably found it near the head of Bear the specimen was found. We take i gut, hence the name. Death of Jobn Laney. — John Laney, an old resident of thi upright man.

The new edition of 1888 is now ready, culture of the olive orchard, The olive cannot be expected to arrive at a) stage of actual profit till it has attained an age of from seven to ten years. But it has its importaat advantages.: After it has been carefully cultivated up to that age, it will prove more prefitable than any other fruit; the ‘older the tree the better the fruit, and the greater the quantity.The wood of the olive for the first few years of its growth is very fine grain, and the tree smal. This condition affords excellent holding room for thé brown and black scale, the pest to which the glive is principally subject. Heres tho’ necessity for clean stock to start with cannot be too. forcibly impressed upon the grower. : Faulty Surveys. » ©. #. Conrade, Government agent, in this county looking into the matter of incorrect land surveys. The Union says in section 18, township 14 north, range 8 east, he has found that several fractional lots platted on the maps on the western boundary of the section do not exist in fact, as actual survey of the east and west section lines show t at they are too short to admit of the lots of the size described. If an actual survey of the township should be made it would undoubtedly be found that the fractional lots of sections 6, 7, 18, 19, 30 and 31, are much less in size than actually called for on the official, maps or entirely absent, the result of careless, ignorant or corrupt surveying on the part -of the person who did the work for the Government many years ago. Other townships in this county are cimilarly gituated as the one in question, and from the same cause. i A New Comet. ‘.
