A young lass went to camp meeting,
and come back full of the rivIval which
they had and did nothing the following
week but, sing
Shout, shout, we're gaining ground''
She had the tune so pat, that all she
said was but continuation of that
and not unfrequentIy the rhyme was too
long for the tune. Old lowell slipped in
and took bone off the table and just as
he was making the door, she sung out !:
If you don't go out Ill knock you down,

pinyard of Major Reading is quite abundant.
The grapes grown in Sacramento Valley are al
together superior to those of Los Angeles for
this market possessing as they do freshness
of taste and flavor that we fail to find in those
that have been packed for several weeks in saw
dust and brought long distance by sea. In a
few more years, we have but little doubt the
greater number of the ranch owners of this
County will possess large vinyards
The Shasta courier., 1854-09-23

FRUIrs.-We think our ranch men would
hnd it very profitable to turn their attention at
once to the cultivation of all the various fruits
adapted to this climate. The peach some of
them have already proved, will grow here to
the greatest perfection And we have but little
doubt that the apple, pear. cherry. and plnm tree
would produce equally as well. The farmers
on both sides of us-in Oregon and Southern
California-possess thrifty orchards of all the
fruits named There can be no doubt then, of
their adaptability to this section of the State
Another thing should be bornein mind. which
is that fruit raising viii pay better than raising
wheat or barley.

public look forward to such occasions for a fair
representation of their present condition, their
past usefulness, aad their future prospects for

the supporters of charitable institutions should
know how their money is expended. Now it is
societies to be personally present at their ami
versaries, and the duty. therefore, devolves
upon the managers or directors to afford the
information required, through the medium of
the press. On this ground we must ask why
