BARLEY.-We are informed by Mr.. Samuel
Hanson the road agent of the California Stage
Company that few days since he made pur-
chase of twenty-seven tons of new barley, to
be delivered in equal portions at Clear Greek
Cottonwood and Shasta at the very low figure
of three cents per pound. This is one cent and
half per pound less than the same article
brought last week. We do not suppose that
many sales of barley at cents per pound will
be effected IN this market Farmers greatly in
need OF money may sell at this low igure-

ever, will hold on short lime and obtain bet

DARING ROBBERY AT RED BLUFfs.-We It.
gret to announce that one of the most daring
aud extensive robberies was committed in Red
Bluffs, on the night of the 23d ult, that we have
ever noted In this part of the State. The thief,
or thieves effected an entrance into the store of
Bull Baker g. Robbins, through back window,
cut the safe key from the pocket of Mr.. Bull,
opened the safe. took therefrom the sum of
sll,950 in dust and coin, and departed without
creating the least alarm. This robbery will
appear the more remarkable when it is known
that the safe key was abstracted from a pair
OF pantaloons lying directly under the shoulders
ot Mr.. Bull, while asleep, and that there were
no less than seven men sleeping i'll the room
~ the time.
We understand that of the money stolen the
greater portion belonged to God Twin & Co., only
about $500 belonging to Bull, Baker g. Rob-
bins.
No traces of the robbers have been discover.
ed yet.
Messrs. Bull, Baker g. Co., AMI Goodwin &.
Co., offer reward of $4,000 for the detection
of the thief and recovery of the stolen money.

The cry for the election of u S. Senator

bered by those who have read the novel oil Con-

1t was Tadpoe-was great on "cry." He

iors intend il to be understood that those rep
resentaiives of the mountain districts, who SO
suddenly changed position and condition last
winter, were regularly and duly transferred
from tadpoles into frogs" In any view of the
case, the article. so far as Mr. Broderck's sup-
porters in the mountains are concerned is ..tbe
unkindest cut of all. We protest for all these.
that the article is simply scurrillous but hope
1t will demonstrate to the mountain democracy
the high estimation in which they are held by
the organ OF Mr.. Broderick in San Francisco.
