ACCIDENr FROM BLASTING At LITTLE
BUTTE.--On Thursday afternoon the 10Th
inst, Mr.. John McTeak met with severe
injury from blast in a tunnel He lighted
the fuse in the rsual way; waited a short
time and seeing no symptoms Of 1t burning,
he went TO the spot and commenced blowing
it, (thc fuse had been burning all the while
though irregularly,) when the shot went off,
and as may be hncied, injuring him in the
face badly. messenger was dispatched for
Dr. Beatson, who after ride of twenty-five
miles in the middle of the night while the
storm ragged fearfully, was promptly on the
spot. He considers him likely to recover,
though probably with the loss Of his right
eye,
Those who are in the habit Of blasting
cannot be to careful and ought in every in
stance, when they suppose the fuse is not
burning, to allow q certain time to elapse be-
fore approaching the spot.

THAT BULKHEAD.-The Board of Super
7sors Of San Francisco county have been
arranging a plan for building bulkhead,
which they propose to submit to the Legisla-
turc. The San Francisco Herald advises
prompt action in the matter, under the be-
lief that the present session OF the Legisla-
ture will be a very short one, from the fact
of the members of that body receiving their
per diem In scrip, which by reason Of the
decision of the Supreme Court in relation to
State debt, is very much deprecated in val
ne, being worth, says the Herald, but twen-
ty cents on the dollar, scarcely enough to
pay the current expenses of the members.

EXECUTION SrAYED.-SheriH Drebelbis
has received an order from Gov Johnson
staying the execution of Francis Blair until
the 9th day of March next The unfortu-
nate man who is in our Jail under sentence
of death, was to have been executed yester
day His name is CharIes, not Francis
Blair. From the dates, &c, of the reprieve,
there is no doubt that Charles Blair was in
tended. As the reprieye was received on
Sunday night last, no correction of name
could be made between that day and the day
appointed for execution. The Sheriff very
properly, under the circumstances, suspend
ed the execution of the death sentence. But
few persons came into town to witness the
execution. -Republicdn.

Topics OF the DaV.

THE troubles in Kanzas appear to have
received their quietus in the result Of the
late Presidential election. Governor Geary
has proved the proper man for the position
to which he wes appointed by President
Pierce, and has been decided, active and en-
ergetc in his measures, as appears by his re-
port recently sent into Congress by the Pres
ident. With the exception Of some trifng
disturbances in the southern portion Of the
Territory, which will soon be quieted by the
Governor, peace has been restored 10 bleed
ing Kanzas, and the Paixhan gun Of the
Republican organization has been spiked
The fanatics of the Union will no longer
meet in kanzas to get up hideouJ reports
for Republican organs. or for southern fanat-
ical chivalry. There is no longer any need
Of Emigrant Aid Societies with Sharpc's ac.
compartments or for southern chvalry to
send Buford rifle companies, and Atchison
men into kanzas. Peace reigns in the ter
ritory. Instead Of columns of the Republi-
can organs in New York and elsewhere, be-
ing filled with outrages in KaDzas, they are
now devoted to the diffusion OF more inter
esting and general information. Hereafter
instead of "wars dread alarms" the news
from Kanzas will be composed of accounts Of
the progress Of the new territory, the loca
ton Of new towns, the erection of mills
and manufactures, and the rapid progress
Of the Territory in all the improvements
that constitutes the permanent reliable
wealth Of a State.
The appointment of new officers for the
Territory, heretofore noticed by us, cannot
but have beneficial tendency. The reno
val Of those who have participated in the
old troubles, and the appointment Of men
who look but to the general welfare of the
the inhabitants of the territory, and fair
and impartial administration Of the laws,
under the impartial protection OF the general
government, affords common ground Of
union for the contesting parties, which will
soon rebound to the benefit of the new ter
rtory.
If the result of the election of Mr.. Bu-
chanan has accomplished so much, before
his Inauguration, what may we not expect
before the close of his administration If
the mere announcement Of the democratic
triumph has had the effect already percep-
tble in "kanzas affairs can VIC not conf
IDENTIFY anticipate that under the incoming
administration, the strides of the new terri.
tory towards greatness will be rapid, vigor-
Gus and healthy
The settlement, growth and prosperity of
the vast region thrown open to our enter
prising population by the act organizing the
territory of Kanzas and Nebraska, has an
important bearing upon our national welfare,
not in the manner in which the fanatics and
lunatics on either side of Mason and Dixon's
line would have US believe, but because their
settlement and prosperity will insure the
early completion Of great national thor
oughtare from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
This consideration alone is sufficient to in
terest all in their prosperity. What Texas
has accomplished towards the construction
Of a road across the continent, may yet be
accomplished by the Territory Of Kanzas
and Nebraska.

GRASS FOR HAY.

When shall it be cut? We say, clover,
when in full blossom herds-gras when out
of blossom, but before the seed is fully ripe
other grasses, little before they begin to
dry up and become woody. The sugar turns
to wood, and becomes indigestible if grass
stands too long. If cut much before or
much after the periods indicated, it is less
valuable. Nevertheless the difference is not
as great as is sometimes stated and we say
again, as we have often said, that no farmer
should do more than fair days work, in
day, nor require his hands to do much more,
for the sake of cutting his grass at precisely
the best time. 1t comes just when the hoe.
crops are TO be attended to, and on the very
ewes Of the wheat, rye, barley, and oat
harvest, and when the fax, IL that is grown
on the farm, and we think il ought to
be more than 1T is, requires to be secured.
All good farmers are exceedingly anxious TO
get IN the hay at the right time and how to
do il is a harder problem than that Of the
fox, the goose and the bushel Of corn.
Every farmer must solve it for himself.
There Is one little worse than TO now too
late, and that is to have hay caught in a
shower when ready to go into the barn.
The damage to hay, Of being wet after being
thoroughly dried, is considerable, in addi-
ton TO the labor of drying it over again.
Yet il would not be wise to pitch load of
hay in less than half the usual time even
when shower is at hand. Health is worth
too much to peril by an unreasonable violent
exertiOn. Our idea is that more men are
seriously injured on the farms Of this country
in July than all the rest of the year. The
effect follows insidiously and they are not
aware what the cause was. Clover is better
to lie a few hours in the swath, till the
ground becomes heated, than to be turned
over on the hot ground between the swaths,
TO be put in small tumbles towards night,
these TO be turned over the next morning at
10 or II o'clock, two to be put into one at
middle afternoon, the same day, and then be
let alone till pretty thoroughly dried, than
TO be treated, as il too often is, in a way to
deprive it Of nearly all its leaves, and to
convert its stalk, by too much exposure TO
the sun, into dry, woody and indigestible
mass. As to the degree Of dryness which
should be aimed at, in curing clover and
other grasses, much depends upon the quail
1 ity Of the moisture. IL il is the natural
Juice Of the grass, no harm accrues, even il
il heats slightly in the nov; but if il is
rain water the effect is worse. We have
always observed that a water soaked load
Injuries the whole NOV. A too green load
NAV prdnce fermentation. which we should
dislike, but is not as apt to produce smut

GRAPE VINES.

There are thousands of acres of rocky
hillsides over the country, which contain 4
sufficiency Of soil in each Of the many clefts
and small hollows for grapevine. Many
Of these are now covered with brush wood,
Of no value, and incapable of being turned
to good account in any other way. Yet here
we have some Of the very best sites for
vineyards, which can be planted with very
little expense, except clearing, burning and
strewing the ashes upon the same ground
In such places the roots delight to run,
provided there are few inches of soil to
cover them, for they will lap around and
creep under the rocks, and will draw mois-
ture and nourishment out of the stone itself.
This is one of the most natural positions for
the grapevine, in which, if the most luxuri-
ant growth be not always secured, there will
be good crop Of finely favored fruit, and
an absence Of some Of those diseases that
we have often to complain of in more arti-
fetal state of culture. Here the branches
may be allowed to ramble over the rocks
and inequalities of the surface and, except
ing judicious pruning, take their own way,
and it needs no poets eulogy to portray the
beauty of such picturesque scenery.
