The VINE.-AS the culture of the grape
is attracting increased attention among the
fruit growers Of the northern part of the
State, the following items on the mode of
planting vineyards, given by the Los Ange-
les correspondent of the California Chroni-
Gle, may not be lost npon our readers:
"The vine cuttings, of good size, should
vary in length from two and a half to five
feet, according to the moisture of the soil
though the latter is surer fgrowth-there-
by insuring a continuous and beautiful vine
yard, in three years producing fruit. A
hole made by crowbar is the best and
easiest mode of setting out vines. These
should be watered, and ploughed or hoed at
least once a month. The vines are planted
from six to eight feet apart. to allow ample
support to the healthy growth of the plant.
When fully grown, each vine yields from
ten to sixteen pounds of grapes, the profits
of which are easily seen-from 500 20 1000
vines being planted to the acre. To those
wise-acres who plant little dried sticks, one
foot long, for vines, little need be said as
their returns will justly reward their wis
dom, if not their industry"

LIQUOR AND MURDER.-These two evils
hunt in couples, and the latter is rarely
found even in California, without its prime
minister-rum. The cause of temperance
is fast gaining active friends in this State,
and in year more will come out fat-footed
and probably carry everything before it
with a rush. Almost nine tenths of the
crimes committed can be traced dieectly OR
indirectly to liquor. ltis public nuisance,
and calls for public action to abate it. The
Shasta Courier mentions. that man named
Jeptha March, recently slew another named
Hamilton Timmons, in a dispute about
liquor, when he was probably slowed him
self Another man was also murdered near
Shasta in drunken brawl, within the past
few days. Already, petitions are being
numerously signed all over the State, be
seeching the Legislature to enact some law
IN relation to the matter, and it is reported
that at least twenty thousand names will be
on the list. Town Talk.

Kern River.

The Sacramento Union of March 9Th
says =
aWe saw and conversed with young
man Yesterday, who had just received let
for from q friend who was on Kern River
when he wrote. He formerly resided in
this city. and was in the employ of Bullard
Cotbrin & Potter, as drayman. His name
is Gordon The letter had been nearly a
month on the way.
"Mr. Gordon writes that there is gold
there but not in such quantities as it was
found in the American and Yuba rivers in
1S49, and that miners labor under many
difficulties in trying to obtain it. Like all
other places where mining for the precious
metals is followed in this State, he says
there is gold there if one can only get it
out of the ground. He said the best way
to buy and get provisions there was to buy
them in this city or in Stockton, and pack
them to the mines. After giving the pros
poets, he winds up by telling his friend to
do as he thinks best about coming.
"Accounts from new diggings are always
exaggerated, and should be taken with many
grains of allowance. The big strikes are
chronicled; those who are successful pro-
claim to the world their success, but the
hundreds who fail are never heard from
This is the history Of mining everywhere,
and Kern Rtucr will not prove an excep-
ton.
"These early accounts will be followed
by those of intense suffering from disease
and destitution. If the mining on the riv-
er was good while it was low, the late rains
will have driven the miners from its bed to
search for diggings on the hills and in the
ravines. Their chances Of success may be
judged by those experienced in mining"

dentists usually select from an assortment of ar
titicial teeth-larger or smaller, as they may have
capital-separate teeth to form the set. If they
use gum teeth, there will be visible in the wear

appearance of not only the artificial and natural
gum, but between different sections of the artif-

ufacturing a set of teeth with a continuous gum,

class him with the herd of Quacks, who infest
the city, sowing the seeds of debility and disease
to an alarming extent, by pretending to cure the
world of diseases, when they know nothing of the
modus operand of medicine. They give mercu-
ry and other pOisnOus drugs, under the name of
vegetable medicines, which, instead of curing
entail upon the system a humor which is hand

DIND'T GET MARR1ED.-Less than two
years since, a lady and gentleman, residents
of neighboring town, were engaged to be
married. When the time for the union ar
rived, however, the fair one proved false,
and refused to fulfil her part of the obliga-
tiOn. Since then they both came to this
city, where the engagement was renewed,
and the lady was promising herself the bliss
of bride. Last Sunday was the appoint
ed time for the twain to become one flesh;
and the church the place of the ceremony.
After services in the morning, more than
fifty persons waited to witness the scene;
and the priest was at the alter, when the
man quietly remarking to the lady-"Be-
fore, | wanted to get married and you sack
ed me. and now you want to get married
and | do the same, left the house, to the
no small amazement of all parties, and the
disappointment Of the spectators present, to
say nothing of the lady.

tleman having danced with a young lady
whose attractions, both personal and con-

her to seat, if he might have the pleasure
of seeing her on the following day!
"Why, no, SIR replied the fair one, Il
shall be engaged tomorrow evening; but
I'll tell you when you can see me-"
Il shall be most happy" exclaimed the
stricken swain.
"Well, on Saturday night" resumed the
lady, you can see me at the foot of Marsh s
Market selling cabbages."
