GFCalifornia does not lack for natural Won
ders to enchance the air of romance which seems
to hang over the whole State. A correspondent
Of the San Joaquin Republican tons describes one
Of these wonders in CalvaVeras county:
s.Four miles south of Valleeite, on Coyote
Greek, are what are called the Natural Bridges,
two of which span the creek. Imagination can
not picture or form any idea Of the grandeur of
the scene that here meets the eye of the beholder
Volcanic action has piled rocks upon rocks, and
nature seems to be in ruins. While gazing the
naturalist is lost in conjectures. Underneath the
labyrinths of arches, the eye detects limitations of
clusters of grapes, cherries and other fruits vines
and stems are perfectly initiated; festoons and
flowers, fret work moulded in every imaginable
shape; all of which have been formed when the
substance was in molten mass, and the convul-
sions of nature hurled it to its present position.
On close examination, the wonder still increases;
theobserver beholds the natural outlines ofleayes
vines, &C., imprinted on the solid rock, and the
interstices expose petrifed remains ofvegetaton.'

been in bed, and the houses were all shut and

fell upon the ground For long time he lay in
the unconsciousness of drunken sleep, and
would have undoubtedly frozen, (for the snow
on the grodhd showed the night to be very cold)

around him. This shed was a favorite rendez-
