welfare, we were struck with some of
the sensible ideas headvanced in re-
gard to The possibility of building a
railroad to connect with the Sacra-
mcnto Valley railway now termina-
ting at Folsom. He very truly said
that the objections that have been
raised to building railways in certain
parts Of the valley lands that are
subject to overfiows, and become so
softened during the rainy season as
to sink under the pressure of the cars,
are entirely inapplicablc to the sec
ton of country through which a road
from hence to Folsom would naturally
run. The entire road could be fur
nished with the requisite timber from
the wooded lands along its line, and
in no place where the road would run
is there possibility Of an overflow,
or the sinking of the rails from loose
soil. A country better adapted to
the construction of a railway does not
exist, and the necessary bridging and
grading would be comparatively
small item of expense.
Orovillc is both the key to and the
depot for the entire northern country
above her, and there is not place in
the state that nature has so well ap-
pointed to be the great terminus for
northcrnrailway as this, and that it
is fast becoming the great store-house
from which the vast mining regions
to the north will obtain their supplies,
is self-evident fact. 1t is for the
advantage of capitalists to turn their
attention hitherward. for nowhere, in
or out of California, is there so great
an opening for a successful specula-
ton as in the building of a railroad
from Oroville to the southern portion
of the state.

EXPLOSION OF A COOKING STovE.-A
cooking stove in the second story of No. ISL
Varick street, New York city, exploded
about 8 O'Clock Wednesday morning, and
knocked ou: the three front windows. The
stove had not been used all summer until 6
o'clock Yesterday morning, when fire was
kindled in it. The only way in which the
explosion could be accounted for was that II
son Of Mrs Cassidy, belonging to target
company, had carelessly few days back
stored few blank cartridges in the oven OF
the stove The paper wrappers of these ex-
plosiye articles were found among the bro
ken metal on the floor. Itappeared strange,
however, that they did not sooner explode.
The fire was lighted at six, and the accident
did not occur till o'clock. No person hap
pened to be in the room at the time.

The People of Sacramento are talking
about building bridge across the river at
that point, about which the Union says that
it intends saying something. sho. .tly-in re-
ply to which the Marysville ErpreSs says
This is a subject upon which we intend to
have word to say, also. When we shall
have a Marysvlle and Benicia Railroad, it
will matter but little to us should they dun
the river Mt Sacramento, but until that time,
the people resident above. think they have
some claims upon it, and intend that it shall
be kept open and as free as possible to navi
CATION"
There is o" beam in your own eye" Mr..
Express, that you should pick out before at
tempting to extract the "mote" from your
neighbours optics. Some of your good citi-
zens have constructed bridge across q Ger.
tain navigable stream known rs Feather Riv-
er, which may serve as u serious obstacle TO
the passage of steamboats, on their way to
Oroville, thus doing our town a serious dam
age until We shall have completed a railroad
from hence to Folsom, about which time you
can dam Feather River if you desire but we
are very likely to require free passage up
that stream very soon and then that bridge
from Marysville to Yuba City will give US a
chance TO have something to say" about
matters.

HEDGE FENcE.--A house and lot situated
at tie lower end of town and near the brick
yard, are surrounded by living hedge Of
chaparral bushes, or more properly the
chimeSai as the Mexicans call it, We should
judge this to be very excellent material for
making enclosures as it grows rapidly and
makes an almost impenetrable hedge. The
ehimesai grows very abundantly about here,
and if it will bear transplanting, can be
made to serve good purpose by our farmers
and those who have large yards and gardens
to enclose. 1t is cheaper than fencing and
vastly more durable.

obtained yesterday Judgment against Pal

hard fighting Of the counsel OF that hrm anu
the desperate attempt made to gain time ana
further profit by the laws delay. The bt"-
Ietin, governed by its hatred of the Reeeiv-
e., did not even inform its readers Of the
judgment, and will no doubt wait before 1t
does so, to add to it that other interesting
Information that Stanley is sueing ior lee

still further battle the creditors. Their use

their defeat, no doubt with the usual daiIy

BALD MOUNTAIN TUNNEL Judge G. ".
Shultz, of Rabbit Greek, says the american,
has completed a survey for ditch from the
head waters of Feather River to the Rabbit
Greek mines The whole length Of the ditch
will be about four miles. But what makes
the undertaking one of much Importance is,
that the water will have to be brought
through Bald Mountain. A tunnel, there
fore, three -fourths of a mile long, will be
dug. The company for the construction of
the ditch is already formed, and the neces.
sary amount of stock subscribed. The work,
it is thought, can be finished in nine or ten
months from the time Of its commencement.
