Letters from California.

The last Brookville American contains two letters
from California, written by John T. McCarty, Esq.
dated the 2Oth and oath of May $780, from which we
make the following extracts. He says:
spent most of the past winter at Pueblo de San Jose
the capital of the State-t is about sixty miles from
San Francisco situated in the most lovely valley of CAL
Norma. Ii Is an old Mexican town and now with the
Americans and Mexcans has about five thousand nhab
itants. During my solourn there witnessed many
amusing IN the legislature. Perhaps there never
has been State where there so many Inferior and
inexperienced men, consequently many of their actions
truly ridiculous. There were however a few men,
bers that experienced and talented and they hav
to perform all the labor accounts for the long sess
ion of that body.
Since left San Jose have been OF the time in
this place praccng law This is the county seat OF Yu
la County at hehead of navigation on uba River and
bids fair be of the largest cities of California
have made thousand dollars in the last three weeks
at my Profession. But notwithstanding men make
more money than they in the States, would advise
person to come to this country who comfortably Sit
uated at home.
1t is with the deepest feelings of regret that inform
you of the death of your friend Capt Woods OF Gen.
treville Indiana He killed few days since by the
Indians upon Wolf Creek, tributary OF Bear River
He had gone prospecting" with young man by the
of Rusey also from Indiana, and unfortunately fell
the hands of the ruthless avages and both persisted
Capt Woods had been very fortunate since he came to
this country-and was beloved by all who knew him.
He kind, amiable and talented and has left in Indi
many relatives, friends and acquaintance, to mourn
MS untmey deatn, an aged atneT III country
whose heart bleeds the loss of dearly loved
and around whom clustered his ondest hopes The In
dams have been very troublesome and have killed many
OF the whites in that section OF California.
Few, yea very few clerks get more than $3.50 per
month. Printers from eight twelve dollars per day,
and Carpenters from five to sixteen dollars. Such have
been the prices since have been in the county
at all times and places-and have visited nearly all
parts Of the country Another mistake, in another let
in reference to the death of Barton Lee. Barton
Lee still lives and is worth princely fortune. F. B.
Cornea sold ont his interest in Sacramento City few
weeks Barton Lea for four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. Other misstatements in the
American might mention in reference to this country.
1t is indeed strange that will write their
friends in the States such extravagant accounts of the
wealth and prices of the countyhat they will state
and isolated cases evidently deceive the people
know that have and will make fortunes in this
State but the miners do not average five dollars
per day. would advise your readers not to get too
much excited about California" But by PRUDENCE,
INDUSTRY and ECONOMY, handsome fortunes can be
cumulated here in time

In 1921 he removed Buffalo, and entered law office,
teaching for his maintenance until the year 1923, when
he was licensed to practice in the Court OF Common

Supreme Court of the State OF Now York. In 1929, he
