The energetic and fearless discharge of duty on the part of Judge Cradlebaugh and the tone of the editorials in the gentile newspaper, the Valley Tan, seem alike displeasing to our polygamous brethren. It is said that the connection of the church authorities with the Mountain Meadows massacre and other dark crimes has been fully established, and the consequent flight of many pillars of the church has caused a spirit of dissatisfaction towards that institution among its lesser devotees. Judge Cradlebaugh’s course in keeping troops at Provo for the protection of his court has excited remonstrance and ill-feeling, and drawn a solemn protest from Gov. Cummings. The Valley Tan approves the course of the Judge and makes charges aginast the Governor. The latest Eastern news received at Salt Lake reached there from California. The Eastern mails came in there weeks behind time. They encountered a succession of storms and hard weather, and the men and animals suffered extreme hardships, many of the latter perishing. Tue Hespertay.—The second number of this handsome magazine has come to hand, and is superior in general excellence to the first. It contains a portrait and biographical sketch of Thomas O. Larkin, a colored lithograph of the Red Cuckoo, with pleasing description by Dr. Grayson, and numerous articles of interest. We are sorry to notice that some anonymous contributor has had the bad ‘taste to perpetrate a palpable plagiarism upon the “Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.” The article alluded to is called “The Dictator at the Dessert; What he thinks and says ;” and is really very clever, with enough of originality in it to make one regret that the writer should have thought it necessary to resort to the unpardonable literary sin of direct plagiarism—at least in name. It isa little amusing that the “Autocrat’s” first imitator should appear on the far Pacific, and we are almost compelled to admire the hardihood of an attempt which must provoke such damaging comparison. The Hesperian, we are glad to learn, is a decided success. The first edition of No. 1 was rapidly exhausted, and another one has since been printed to supply the large demand. AURIFEROUS QuARTZ.—Some months ago we mentioned a theory of an eminent British philosopher, Sir Roderick Murchison, in regard to the depth at which quartz viens ceased to pay. He assumed that gold occurs in quantity only in the upper vienstones, and that the deeper down they are worked, the less auriferous they become; differing in this respect from silver and all other metaliferous veins. Comparing this theory with the known results of California quartz mining, and with what had been reported of other countries, we pronounced it erroneous, and gave many facts to support our opinion. Since that time the British philosopher himself has had reason to abandon his theory. The experience of Australian quartz-miners has proved it to be untenable. For a long time a belief in the above hypothesis had prevented quartz-mining in Australia from being conducted on any extensive scale, but it has lately received a vigorous impulse, there being now about two hundred mills in operation, and the number is said to be rapidly “iticreasing. California machinery has lately been introduced in preference to the homié-made stamps heretofore exclusively employed. MagysvILLtE AND San Francisco RAILROAD. be presented should seeni disproportioned to . the degree of attention bestowed upon them, let it be remembered that only about five . years have elapsed since this section of coun. try was a wilderness, inhabited only by Indians and a few adventurous gold seekers.— The man who should then have proposed to enter upon agricultural pursuits amid these pine hills, would have been deemed a vision. ary and ridiculed for his pains. But in such . @ short period the area embraced within a . time. radius of one or two miles about our village, has become the abode of a fixed and pros. perous community, whose minds are not wholly engrossed by the desire for material success which first drew them here, and some of whom now begin to turn from the uncongenial pursuit of mining to the nobler occupation of tilling the soil. Nearly every instance of this kind that we shall have to . record, is of very recent occurrence. Indeed, it is only within the last twelve months that the desire to have gardens and trees about our homes became at all general. We shall commence our pleasant task without more ado, at Ray’s Ranch. This farm can boast of considerable antiquity, as we understand the word in California, having been first taken up by one Hunt, as long ago as 1850. done towards testing the capacity of the soil, however, until a much later day. A house was built and used as a wayside tavern, it being located upon what was then a much traveled highway. Not much was The ranch has been in the possession of Mr. Ray for four or five years. It is situated on what is known as the old French Corral and Cherokee road, about two miles from North San Juan in the direction of Montezuma, and consists in part of a black, loamy bottom, which is surrounded by gentle slopes and mounds of red soil, the whole lying below thenorthern side of a high ridge. Mr. Ray has under cultivation about seventy-five acres, six or seven acres of the best land being used for a garden, and the remainder sowed with wild oats for hay, and planted with trees and vines. The ground sowed to wild oats will, without irrigation, produce an average of one ton anda half to the acre. Hehas 250 fruit trees, mostly apple; 600 strawberry plants; 200 English gooseberry bushes, which bore fruit in two years from the cuttings; and 60 grape vines, which bore for their first crop last year 200 pounds of grapes, fully equal in size and flavor to those brought to this market from the lower country. The garden produces every kind of vegetables in great abundance and of excellent quality ; growing better corn than has ever been brought from the vallies, and as much as fifty bushels of sweet corn to the acre. The productiofi and sale of vegetables from this little spot is Mr. Ray’s principal business; but he has lately begun the sheep and wool culture—having already a flock of 400 Spanish-American sheep, from which he will probably shear the coming season about 1,500 pounds of wool. Mr. Ray has a commodious house, barn and outbuildings upon his ranch, and as a new road will soon be opened to it from this town it is likely to increase considerably in value. Hartman’s Ranch. This is situated where once stood the village of Sebastopol, on the Marysville road about a mile from San Juan, and consists mostly ofred, hill-side land, having a northern exposure. It is well watered by delightful springs, andcan be further irrigated by the mining ditches which meander in the vicinity. The property is owned by Mr. A. Hartman, a true son of Scotia, who boasts of being the father of eighteen native-born Americans. The situation of the groundled him to believe it peculiarly adapted to fruit The Ohio claims produced $1,336 50; Winham’s $1,544; the Sailor claims $1,487; and . Dutch Mat’s ground $352. There is considerable mining in a small way being done in this vieinity which largely swells the aggregate gold yield, but does not afford items of sufficient prominence to warrant special mention. The weekly purchases of dust» by the different buyers reach a very high sum, and are larger now than they have been for some An accident occurred on Thursday which may possibly retard mining operations slightly. The Middle Yuba Ditch broke at a place about half a mile above Hess’ Point, and some forty feet in length of it was wiped out by the escaped water. Shady Creek. One good yield reported from the diggings on this stream. Stevens & Co. cleaned up $741. Shady.Creek has been worked for a number of years, and has contained many spots of considerable richness. Montezuma. The Irish Company at this place lately took from their drift claims the sum of $562. Mississippi Hill. We give this name,for convenience sake, to that magnificent gravel range which extends from Sweetland Creek to Junction Bluff, a distance, following the trend of the river, of about a mile and a half, having a width from a quarter to a half mile. It has generally been called Manzanita Hill, but as it lies in Mississippi Valley District and there are several other Manzanita Hills in this vicinity, the name given it above would be much better, and should be adopted. Missisippi Hill is no doubt as rich as any other hill, or spur of the ridge, in this section. The. claims fronting on Sweetland Creek open directly into it, and -have been known for their richness since 1853, the bed and banks of the creek having been worked long before that time. The bank is very deep, and resembles the gravel on San Juan Hill. A good part, if not the whole of the hill is claimed, and will ultimately be worked. An association of claim owners for the purpose of putting in one large main tunnel, is an enterprise that we wonder has not been attempted. It would give immediate value to the ground, and enable it to be worked ata comparatively early day. Miners everywhere will one day find it to there advantage to consolidate their interestsand work together. Such a mode would prove most economical, and far more profitable than the present system of small, isolated companies. Now, every set of claims, nearly, has to run its separate tunnel, and the other expenses amount to a much larger aggregate in proportion to the amount of gold extracted than they would if several companies should combine. Freeman’s Crossing. Bart & Madison cleaned up in their claims on Sierra Bar, after a week’s run, over $400, netting them $27 a day to the hand. The claims of Parker & Co., adjoining, are paying at the rate of $17 per diem to the hand. Both companies have to remove large accumulations of rock by manual labor, but are preparing machinery to lift them out by water power. Guano Isuanps.—The number of guano islands now claimed by American citizens, as recorded at Washington, is forty-eight. These are all to be surveyed and charted, and the quality and quantity of the guano thereon, to be ascertained by competent analytical chemists and topographical engineers, and a report thereof made to Congress at the earliest practicable period. There are two kinds of guano, known among scientific men as the ammoniacal and mineral, about the relative worth of each, as manure, there senescent inienaenpesmasiciicaaeapierensecaaiientestinainncticssnitisatiniiiaatgil nwcintasieseiiaiaandiatatisheiiiis Aeaiapeameaaeaimaanaticipaiacsiaailcapuidilipadiesiaisiditiaemas alctiindaisgsscietaeipigittceiiieeteiatneitct tie eipasnesadlalgapidlabitiisicaciniaiuineniniaatsiaaaniahieaieci had oceurred on the lower flat. The earth parted at the lower road leading from Monte Christo to Poker Flat;.a large mass about. twenty-five feet wide, and of great bulk, was precipitated down the mountain side a disour Senators from Washington. In Oregon recently, at the execution of Charles J. Roe for the murder of his wife, the number present to witness the sight was estance of about four hundred feet carrying . timated at from eight to fifteen hundred, of away three dwelling houses. There was great consternation among the inhabitants in that part of the town. It was soon ascertained that four persons were miss. ing; Mrs. Howe, and two of her children, one an infant, another alittle girl between two and three years of age, and also the little son of Mrs. B: Wright, aged between three and four years. The citizens turned out immediately after the accident in search of the missing, and recovered the dead bodies of Mrs. Wright’s boy, and that of Mrs. Howe’s infant, that night about nine o’clock. ‘Atthat hour there came another avalanche, which compelled them to fly for the night. Early this morning the search was renewed. Mrs. Howe’s body was found at about 8 o'clock, having a large beam resting upon the neck. She must have been killed almost instantly. The body of Mrs. H.’s little girl was not found up to the time our informant, Mr. R. A. Cochrane, left Monte Christo. Another child of Mrs. Howe, a bright girl of about seven years, was carried on the top ofthe avalanche, and was saved, though considerably bruised and scratched. The life of Mr. Howe, (husband of the lady above mentioned,) was saved by one of those mysterious chances which are so common in events of such calamity. He had but a momentor two been out of his house, where Mrs. Howe and the children were, and was talking with a near neighbor about the probable danger of a land slide, when the crash came. Three miners, living in acabin next to the house of Mr. Howe, had just finished supper and left their cabin, when it was crushedto atoms, and theyhad barcly time to fleefrom impending death. On the Friday evening previous to this sad occurrence, there was a slide, which took away the “dump car” of the West Point Company, and left fifty feet of their tunnel with bare timbers. Parties living in that part of the town had been warned of the danger of remaining there, and on Monday, we understood, Mr. Howe had been searching for a house intending to remove, with his family. During all of Monday uight fragments of rock and earth were heard tumbling down the mountain side, and another slide is looked for. A large fissure in the earth, a foot or more in width and upwards of a quarter of a mile in length, exists still higher up the mountain, into which all the water from the melting snow above discharges itself. The fissure extends through the graveyard, leaying,in places, the coffins of the dead ex. posed. Preparations are being made for dis. interring the bodies. The flat underlying the impending slide, on which a good portion of the town stands, is entirely deserted. The loss is beyond estimation. Work in the tunnels has been suspended, the miners being afraid to venture into them, since the terrible calamity. Sterra Democrat Extra. Goop Reason ror Prayer.—Not longsince at one of the morning prayer meetings in a popular church, a middle-aged gentleman requested the prayers of the congregation, “as he was about choosing a companion.” STEAMER ON THE AmMoor—An American, Mr. Berling, has launched upon the Amoora little steamer, 125 feet long, drawing two feet of water. The Governor-General will go on her first trip up the river. Mixt.—The gold dust deposited in the Mint at San Francisco, last week, amounted to 14,029 ounces, worth about $2,700,000; and the run of the coinage was3$515,000— $500,000 in double eagles and $15,000 in dollars.

Sueep anp Woot Growing.—From an article in alate number of the San Francisco Prices Current, we learn the following facts in relation to this subject: The wool does not, as has been supposed, deteriorate in this climate, but, on the contrary, grows more profuse, and attains a greater length than in most of the Atlantic States. Five years ago, a man purchased 800 ewes for $7,500, from which he has since raised sheep and wool worth $70,000, and has now a flock which he values at $40,000. At the San Juste Ranch, in Monterey county, a flock of 1,900 awes has this year produced 2,300 lambs; and another, of 1,100 ewes, produced 1,400 lambs. The wool taken from these flocks last year was sold in Boston at thirty cents per pound on the average, equal to forty-five cents per pound for washed wool of a similar quality. Sheep that in Missouri yielded but four pounds a clip, yield five pounds in California. Wool growing, like grape growing, cannot well be overdone, for we have the world for a market. A lady remarks to the Golden Era that “Editors can do anything except go to heaven.” Ress The entire cost of the Government . buildings in Washington, including statuary and paintings, has been $14,709,339 09.

The energetic and fearless discharge of duty on the part of Judge Cradlebaugh and the tone of the editorials in the gentile newspaper, the Valley Tan, seem alike displeasing to our polygamous brethren. It is said that the connection of the church authorities with the Mountain Meadows massacre and other dark crimes has been fully established, and the consequent flight of many pillars of the church has caused a spirit of dissatisfaction towards that institution among its lesser devotees. Judge Cradlebaugh’s course in keeping troops at Provo for the protection of his court has excited remonstrance and ill-feeling, and drawn a solemn protest from Gov. Cummings. The Valley Tan approves the course of the Judge and makes charges aginast the Governor. The latest Eastern news received at Salt Lake reached there from California. The Eastern mails came in there weeks behind time. They encountered a succession of storms and hard weather, and the men and animals suffered extreme hardships, many of the latter perishing. Tue Hespertay.—The second number of this handsome magazine has come to hand, and is superior in general excellence to the first. It contains a portrait and biographical sketch of Thomas O. Larkin, a colored lithograph of the Red Cuckoo, with pleasing description by Dr. Grayson, and numerous articles of interest. We are sorry to notice that some anonymous contributor has had the bad ‘taste to perpetrate a palpable plagiarism upon the “Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.” The article alluded to is called “The Dictator at the Dessert; What he thinks and says ;” and is really very clever, with enough of originality in it to make one regret that the writer should have thought it necessary to resort to the unpardonable literary sin of direct plagiarism—at least in name. It isa little amusing that the “Autocrat’s” first imitator should appear on the far Pacific, and we are almost compelled to admire the hardihood of an attempt which must provoke such damaging comparison. The Hesperian, we are glad to learn, is a decided success. The first edition of No. 1 was rapidly exhausted, and another one has since been printed to supply the large demand. AURIFEROUS QuARTZ.—Some months ago we mentioned a theory of an eminent British philosopher, Sir Roderick Murchison, in regard to the depth at which quartz viens ceased to pay. He assumed that gold occurs in quantity only in the upper vienstones, and that the deeper down they are worked, the less auriferous they become; differing in this respect from silver and all other metaliferous veins. Comparing this theory with the known results of California quartz mining, and with what had been reported of other countries, we pronounced it erroneous, and gave many facts to support our opinion. Since that time the British philosopher himself has had reason to abandon his theory. The experience of Australian quartz-miners has proved it to be untenable. For a long time a belief in the above hypothesis had prevented quartz-mining in Australia from being conducted on any extensive scale, but it has lately received a vigorous impulse, there being now about two hundred mills in operation, and the number is said to be rapidly “iticreasing. California machinery has lately been introduced in preference to the homié-made stamps heretofore exclusively employed. MagysvILLtE AND San Francisco RAILROAD. be presented should seeni disproportioned to . the degree of attention bestowed upon them, let it be remembered that only about five . years have elapsed since this section of coun. try was a wilderness, inhabited only by Indians and a few adventurous gold seekers.— The man who should then have proposed to enter upon agricultural pursuits amid these pine hills, would have been deemed a vision. ary and ridiculed for his pains. But in such . @ short period the area embraced within a . time. radius of one or two miles about our village, has become the abode of a fixed and pros. perous community, whose minds are not wholly engrossed by the desire for material success which first drew them here, and some of whom now begin to turn from the uncongenial pursuit of mining to the nobler occupation of tilling the soil. Nearly every instance of this kind that we shall have to . record, is of very recent occurrence. Indeed, it is only within the last twelve months that the desire to have gardens and trees about our homes became at all general. We shall commence our pleasant task without more ado, at Ray’s Ranch. This farm can boast of considerable antiquity, as we understand the word in California, having been first taken up by one Hunt, as long ago as 1850. done towards testing the capacity of the soil, however, until a much later day. A house was built and used as a wayside tavern, it being located upon what was then a much traveled highway. Not much was The ranch has been in the possession of Mr. Ray for four or five years. It is situated on what is known as the old French Corral and Cherokee road, about two miles from North San Juan in the direction of Montezuma, and consists in part of a black, loamy bottom, which is surrounded by gentle slopes and mounds of red soil, the whole lying below thenorthern side of a high ridge. Mr. Ray has under cultivation about seventy-five acres, six or seven acres of the best land being used for a garden, and the remainder sowed with wild oats for hay, and planted with trees and vines. The ground sowed to wild oats will, without irrigation, produce an average of one ton anda half to the acre. Hehas 250 fruit trees, mostly apple; 600 strawberry plants; 200 English gooseberry bushes, which bore fruit in two years from the cuttings; and 60 grape vines, which bore for their first crop last year 200 pounds of grapes, fully equal in size and flavor to those brought to this market from the lower country. The garden produces every kind of vegetables in great abundance and of excellent quality ; growing better corn than has ever been brought from the vallies, and as much as fifty bushels of sweet corn to the acre. The productiofi and sale of vegetables from this little spot is Mr. Ray’s principal business; but he has lately begun the sheep and wool culture—having already a flock of 400 Spanish-American sheep, from which he will probably shear the coming season about 1,500 pounds of wool. Mr. Ray has a commodious house, barn and outbuildings upon his ranch, and as a new road will soon be opened to it from this town it is likely to increase considerably in value. Hartman’s Ranch. This is situated where once stood the village of Sebastopol, on the Marysville road about a mile from San Juan, and consists mostly ofred, hill-side land, having a northern exposure. It is well watered by delightful springs, andcan be further irrigated by the mining ditches which meander in the vicinity. The property is owned by Mr. A. Hartman, a true son of Scotia, who boasts of being the father of eighteen native-born Americans. The situation of the groundled him to believe it peculiarly adapted to fruit The Ohio claims produced $1,336 50; Winham’s $1,544; the Sailor claims $1,487; and . Dutch Mat’s ground $352. There is considerable mining in a small way being done in this vieinity which largely swells the aggregate gold yield, but does not afford items of sufficient prominence to warrant special mention. The weekly purchases of dust» by the different buyers reach a very high sum, and are larger now than they have been for some An accident occurred on Thursday which may possibly retard mining operations slightly. The Middle Yuba Ditch broke at a place about half a mile above Hess’ Point, and some forty feet in length of it was wiped out by the escaped water. Shady Creek. One good yield reported from the diggings on this stream. Stevens & Co. cleaned up $741. Shady.Creek has been worked for a number of years, and has contained many spots of considerable richness. Montezuma. The Irish Company at this place lately took from their drift claims the sum of $562. Mississippi Hill. We give this name,for convenience sake, to that magnificent gravel range which extends from Sweetland Creek to Junction Bluff, a distance, following the trend of the river, of about a mile and a half, having a width from a quarter to a half mile. It has generally been called Manzanita Hill, but as it lies in Mississippi Valley District and there are several other Manzanita Hills in this vicinity, the name given it above would be much better, and should be adopted. Missisippi Hill is no doubt as rich as any other hill, or spur of the ridge, in this section. The. claims fronting on Sweetland Creek open directly into it, and -have been known for their richness since 1853, the bed and banks of the creek having been worked long before that time. The bank is very deep, and resembles the gravel on San Juan Hill. A good part, if not the whole of the hill is claimed, and will ultimately be worked. An association of claim owners for the purpose of putting in one large main tunnel, is an enterprise that we wonder has not been attempted. It would give immediate value to the ground, and enable it to be worked ata comparatively early day. Miners everywhere will one day find it to there advantage to consolidate their interestsand work together. Such a mode would prove most economical, and far more profitable than the present system of small, isolated companies. Now, every set of claims, nearly, has to run its separate tunnel, and the other expenses amount to a much larger aggregate in proportion to the amount of gold extracted than they would if several companies should combine. Freeman’s Crossing. Bart & Madison cleaned up in their claims on Sierra Bar, after a week’s run, over $400, netting them $27 a day to the hand. The claims of Parker & Co., adjoining, are paying at the rate of $17 per diem to the hand. Both companies have to remove large accumulations of rock by manual labor, but are preparing machinery to lift them out by water power. Guano Isuanps.—The number of guano islands now claimed by American citizens, as recorded at Washington, is forty-eight. These are all to be surveyed and charted, and the quality and quantity of the guano thereon, to be ascertained by competent analytical chemists and topographical engineers, and a report thereof made to Congress at the earliest practicable period. There are two kinds of guano, known among scientific men as the ammoniacal and mineral, about the relative worth of each, as manure, there senescent inienaenpesmasiciicaaeapierensecaaiientestinainncticssnitisatiniiiaatgil nwcintasieseiiaiaandiatatisheiiiis Aeaiapeameaaeaimaanaticipaiacsiaailcapuidilipadiesiaisiditiaemas alctiindaisgsscietaeipigittceiiieeteiatneitct tie eipasnesadlalgapidlabitiisicaciniaiuineniniaatsiaaaniahieaieci had oceurred on the lower flat. The earth parted at the lower road leading from Monte Christo to Poker Flat;.a large mass about. twenty-five feet wide, and of great bulk, was precipitated down the mountain side a disour Senators from Washington. In Oregon recently, at the execution of Charles J. Roe for the murder of his wife, the number present to witness the sight was estance of about four hundred feet carrying . timated at from eight to fifteen hundred, of away three dwelling houses. There was great consternation among the inhabitants in that part of the town. It was soon ascertained that four persons were miss. ing; Mrs. Howe, and two of her children, one an infant, another alittle girl between two and three years of age, and also the little son of Mrs. B: Wright, aged between three and four years. The citizens turned out immediately after the accident in search of the missing, and recovered the dead bodies of Mrs. Wright’s boy, and that of Mrs. Howe’s infant, that night about nine o’clock. ‘Atthat hour there came another avalanche, which compelled them to fly for the night. Early this morning the search was renewed. Mrs. Howe’s body was found at about 8 o'clock, having a large beam resting upon the neck. She must have been killed almost instantly. The body of Mrs. H.’s little girl was not found up to the time our informant, Mr. R. A. Cochrane, left Monte Christo. Another child of Mrs. Howe, a bright girl of about seven years, was carried on the top ofthe avalanche, and was saved, though considerably bruised and scratched. The life of Mr. Howe, (husband of the lady above mentioned,) was saved by one of those mysterious chances which are so common in events of such calamity. He had but a momentor two been out of his house, where Mrs. Howe and the children were, and was talking with a near neighbor about the probable danger of a land slide, when the crash came. Three miners, living in acabin next to the house of Mr. Howe, had just finished supper and left their cabin, when it was crushedto atoms, and theyhad barcly time to fleefrom impending death. On the Friday evening previous to this sad occurrence, there was a slide, which took away the “dump car” of the West Point Company, and left fifty feet of their tunnel with bare timbers. Parties living in that part of the town had been warned of the danger of remaining there, and on Monday, we understood, Mr. Howe had been searching for a house intending to remove, with his family. During all of Monday uight fragments of rock and earth were heard tumbling down the mountain side, and another slide is looked for. A large fissure in the earth, a foot or more in width and upwards of a quarter of a mile in length, exists still higher up the mountain, into which all the water from the melting snow above discharges itself. The fissure extends through the graveyard, leaying,in places, the coffins of the dead ex. posed. Preparations are being made for dis. interring the bodies. The flat underlying the impending slide, on which a good portion of the town stands, is entirely deserted. The loss is beyond estimation. Work in the tunnels has been suspended, the miners being afraid to venture into them, since the terrible calamity. Sterra Democrat Extra. Goop Reason ror Prayer.—Not longsince at one of the morning prayer meetings in a popular church, a middle-aged gentleman requested the prayers of the congregation, “as he was about choosing a companion.” STEAMER ON THE AmMoor—An American, Mr. Berling, has launched upon the Amoora little steamer, 125 feet long, drawing two feet of water. The Governor-General will go on her first trip up the river.

Sueep anp Woot Growing.—From an article in alate number of the San Francisco

Prices Current, we learn the following facts in relation to this subject: The wool does not, as has been supposed, deteriorate in this climate, but, on the contrary, grows more profuse, and attains a greater length than in most of the Atlantic States. Five years ago, a man purchased 800 ewes for $7,500, from which he has since raised sheep and wool worth $70,000, and has now a flock which he values at $40,000. At the San Juste Ranch, in Monterey county, a flock of 1,900 awes has this year produced 2,300 lambs; and another, of 1,100 ewes, produced 1,400 lambs. The wool taken from these flocks last year was sold in Boston at thirty cents per pound on the average, equal to forty-five cents per pound for washed wool of a similar quality. Sheep that in Missouri yielded but four pounds a clip, yield five pounds in California. Wool growing, like grape growing, cannot well be overdone, for we have the world for a market. A lady remarks to the Golden Era that “Editors can do anything except go to heaven.” Ress The entire cost of the Government . buildings in Washington, including statuary and paintings, has been $14,709,339 09.
