RAISE OUR OWN FLoUR.-We hope that all the
farmers in this county will sow portion Of wheat
this winter. 1t has been thoroughly proved that
the bottom and hill-tops will grow it well. In a
very few years wheat enough should be raised in
the mountains to supply home consumption of -four.
]. H. lrcdmorc, Esq, OF laceryille we notice is
about erecting grist mill at that place, the first in
this county. Success to him in his enterprise We
hope the farmers willsuplly him with grain enough
to keep the mill in operation.

On Thursday of this week the Coloma Hook and
Ladder Co. IN. Holmes, Foreman,) visited Placer
vile at the invitation Of the Neptune Hose Co.,
Alex Hunter, Foreman,) of that place, to attend
a Ball given by the 1atNiC
The Coloma Co. turned out % strong, and. left
town on horseback. At Middletown about 3 miles
this side of Placerville they were met by the Nop-
tune Co., ell handsomely mounted and in uniform,
and numbering p men. From Niddletown Cat 3
o'clock the Neptune Co. escorted the Coloma Co.
into Paceryillc, marching up Main street to Upper
Flaceryillc and returning halted in front of the FL
Dorado Here the Coloma Co, were welcomed to
Facerville, on behalf of the Neptune Hose Co. and
citizens by Robert Anderson, Esq, in an address
delivered in the usual generous and happy style Of
that gentleman lie was replied to, on the part of
the Coloma Co, by Thomas II. Williams Esq, in
few pertinent remarks. The Cooma Co. were then
waited On to quarters which had been generously
and beautifully provided by their brother Eiremen
Of Ilaccrville
During the afternoon and evening the Coloma
Co. visited the carriage house Of the Neptune Co..
and they all speak in fine terms of the establish
mcnt."
But the great event was the Ball at the Miners
House in the evening. A fine saloon, beautifully
and tastcfuliy prepared, splendid music, and to
crown all more ladies than we have ever seen to-
gcther in California; added much to the pleasures
Of the evening
We never attended ball at which the guests ap-
pcared to he we'll pleased as at this May it be
our lot to attend many such reunions. The supper
so bountifully and dolicaely provided by the host
D. W. Leyan, we must say did full honor to the oc-
casion. The festivities were continued to Il late
hour. Everything passed eff with the utmost order
and decorum, was to be expected at the hands of
the gentlcmanly members Of the Neptune Hose Co.
The courtesy and attention shown by the Placer
Vile Co. to the C0loma Co., will be remembered
with pleasure fora long time. We hope suc. meet
ings may often occur. They strengthen tho good
feelings Of the citizens Of the two places They
bring cut the generous qualities Of men. There is
great danger Of these being chokcd up in this coun-
try by cur love for the almighty dollar. May use
fulncss and honor ever attend the members of the

With usual California luck some have been tortu-

Anti Bacchanalian Elixir:
A safe and sure remedy for The cure Of

1t is not in the least injurious to the sys-
TEN. 1t is pleasant to the taste, and will
cure the hardest case of intemperance.-
We WARRANT it in all cases, if taken accor-
ding to directions. 1t destroys the desire
for all ardent spirits when strictly taken
according to directions, and will restore the
individual to the same state of sobriety in
which he was before he ever drank drop
of the ardent, and he will not have the
least desire for intoxicating drinks. ..
Intemperance is disease; and as such the
greater the excess in drinking the more
speedily is the disease developed, and to
such the Elixir is presented as the balm OF
Gilead-the oil of consolation, peace and
perfect restoration, .-.
~ The Anti Bacchanalian is aatly put
up and labelled, with full directions accom-
panying each bottle. Price 50 per bottle.
On the receipt of the above sum it will be
