MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. Through
Gregory's Express agent at Staples
Ranch, on the Consumes road, we learn
that on Saturday evening last a man
named Williams came from Stockton to
that place with horse and buggy, on
his way to Martins Ranch. He retired
early after hating his horse put up, and
on the following morning remarked that
he felt unwell, and had been on a
"spree.' As the river was high and
difficult to cross with his carriage, he
made arrangements to have it sent back
to Stockton, and to come on himself by
stage to this city.
About 10 O'clock on Sunday morning
he was last seen by the driver of Smith .

has been heard Of him, and fears are
entertained that he has committed sui.

commenced packing up their rice and

CouSTY JArL.-By an article on the
first page Of to-dsy's paper, and ono in
our last it will be seen that there has
been some feeling on account Of the
contract for building the county Jail.
In connection with this matter, We are
requested 10 say that Judge Anderson
was not on the bench ut the time the
contract was given, he having been
called of to attend TO other oficial
business. While he was in the board
hs steadily voted against all the propo.
sitions. Fer our part, We do not pretend
to understand the maneuvsring by
which it was brought about, but of one
thing We are satisfed--the Anal result
Of the Courts action, was better than
had they given the contract to any
others ~ higher price.
We see the work is progressing fairly.
The foundation is already nearly COM
pleied, and other arrangements made
for its speedy completion.

The BARLEY CRop.-California will
probably produce more barley this sea-
son than any other State in the Union /;
perhaps more than will be required to
supply the demand for home consump-
tion, unless it should be lavishly used
In Cache Creek Valley, there are about
six thousand acres Of barley growing
several individuals having fields of from
two to three hundred acres eash which
Will yield on an average, about sixty
bushels per acre. On Putah creek,
there are also extensive fields of barley,
in fourishing condition. In Suisun
Valley, the amount Of ground covered
with growing crops of barley, is estima-
ted by competent judges, at from eight
to ten thousand acres. In Napa, Soma
ma and Santa Rosas valleys, portions Of
land, for miles in extent, are represen.
ted as covered almost without interval,
with vast fields of waving grain, now
just ripening for harvest. The same
statement is applicable to Santa Clara,
Contra Costa, and other agricultural
counties farther south; while in Butte
and large portions Of the Upper Sacra-
mento valley, the barley crop is quite
extensive. In fact, this appears to be
almost the only grain yet cultivated in
California to any great extent The
country is equally adopted to the growth
OF wheat or oats but the absence of
Touring mills discouragcs the immediate
production Of wheat.
1t is important that merchants and
others should learn o. near ma possible
the amount Of barley that will be raised
in California this season, for there is
considerable disposition to speculate in
tho article, and dealers are liable to be
misinformed. Examples might be given
where capitalists have heretofore been
severely bitten" in their barley opera
tions Before another trial, it stands
them in hand to learn the probable de-
mapd, and then find the extent Of the
supply. We have in this instance only
given what information has fallen in our
way, which is doubtless very deficient
still it may lead to further Investigation,
and thus be Of service in checking hast y
speculative investments - Transcript.
