NOVEL HAyING.-A correspondent OF
the Shasta Courier, writing from Slate
Creek, gives an account of how hay is
gathered in that vicinity:
I'VE have quite an enterprising far
mer mp this way. He has discovered a
new way of gathering hay, which is
much cheaper than the old way; be-
sides, he gets much greater quantity
off the same amount of ground. He
sowed piece of ground with oats, in
tending to cut it for hay. The ground
was so dry that it did not grow more
than ten or fifteen inches high, and
and would not pay for cutting. 1t oc-
Cured to him that he could get the In
dams to pull it; so he went to see
"Capitan" Ned, who took the contract
for quarter of beef and half dozen
sacks of -four. The Indians-about7 70
went to work the next morning-old
grey heads, squaws, little ones and all
taking a swath some sixty yards wide
across the field. In two days they fin
ished the job, and by this means my
friend has put some eight tons of good
hay in his barn. The ground was very
dry when the hay was pulled, and the
dirt was therefore all easily knocked off
the roots. A horse will eat the roots in
preference to the top. The farmers
elsewhere will profit by this.

FIRE AT GRASS VALLEY.-Our sister
town was visited for the fourth time in
the season with confagration on Sat
urday last. The mill commonly known
as Winchester's, was totally consumed
together with large amount of lumber
The entire loss is variously estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The mill originally cost, it is said,
some sixty thousand dollars. 1t was
sold tor taxes year or two ago. and
brought but small sum which has
been made out of the mill long ere this.
The real loss to the owner is therefore
considered trifing. The workmen a.
bout the mill owned the lumber, which
was worth some $4,000.

HOME MANUFACTUREs.-E F. Bur-
ton & Co. started their engine on Tues
day last. The engine is of eight horse
power and built at the Nevada Foun-
dry. Those who doubt the ability of
Nevada to furnish good machinery can
undeceive themselves by witnessing the
movements of this Machine" Messrs.
Thoms, Williams & Jones, Of the Ne
vada Foundry are prepared to furnish
engines of from to 40 horse power,
and in as good style as can be furnish
ed at any establishment in the State.
One great advantage at least pur-
chasers of steam engines will have
by patronizing our home establishment.
They will not be obliged to send below
VIII enever repairs are needed the Ne
vada Foundry having patterns for all
their machinery on hand, which enables
those desiring extra pieces of work to
obtain them without the ruinous waste
of time incidental to sending below.
The engine belonging to E. F. Bur-
ton & Co. is the first one ever manufac-
tured in this place, and will compare
favorably in all respects with any i'm
ported to this State.
The shaft on which the engine is at
work is now $50 feet in depth, and when
completed will be about 220 feet.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.-The
city fathers are at last giving the
scheme of furnishing the town with
water against the time of need, some at
tention. We learn that steps will soon
be taken to employ competent engi-
neer for the survey of the projected en-
terprise. The location for reservoir
should be selected, that the length of
pipe required may be estimated and or
dered.
The pipe is to come from New York.
1t is contemplated to open books and
solicit subscriptions of stock immediate
ly, the subscribers to pledge themselves
to be responsible for the pipe when it
arrives.
1t is impossible to procure the materi-
ais to construct durable works during
the present dry season, and the town
will be obliged to run the hazard of
another fire as she is without any pro-
tecticn at all. But if a proper spirit is
evinced by our citizens we may be safe
against the ravages of fire another sea-
son. The town authorities have got a
good thing them press it.

Ra~David Wilmot, the Republican candi-
date for Governor in Pennsylvania, has issued
a very able address to the people of that State
on the issue now before the country. He is
politically and menticaly one of the strongest
men in that State, greatly superior to any man
they have had as Chief Magistrate since the
days of Mexican and Snyder. He has the
ability of the former and frmness Of the lat
ter,
In his antecedents and from honest convic-
ton, Judge Wilmot is a decided democratic
republican, and ten years since was one of the
most influential leaders of the democratic par
ty in that Commonwealth. Being firm
State rights man, be has opposed the extern
tion and Matchmaking of slavery, and the de-
mocracy of northern Pennsylvania have stood
with him by their own principles, the old Jack
son forces through the whole region giving
large maorities for Fremont in the late presi-
dental election. These are strong and favora-
bic indications for the Republican cause in the
Pennsylvania, and in making Wilmot their
candidate they have displayed wisdom and sa-
gacty. The election of no other man would
give greater satisfaction to the Republicans of
the whole country.-COnn. Press

caused by the engineer starting the train while
Mr.. SMITH was in the act of reaching the hose
at the watertank for the purpose of taking
water. The sudden start threw him off his
balance, and in jumping upon the wood in the
tender, he struck upon a round stick which
precipitated him before the wheels Of the ten

LANDLORDS DUTIEs-Before announcing tire
licences granted by the Court on Wednesday
morning, says the Harrisburgh Daily Iete-
gr'ph, Judge Pearson proceeded to make
some preparatory remarks, explaining the du-
ties of landlords He stated that they were
bound to accommodate all persons who asked
for it, so long as they had room that it made
differance if the applicant was person of mis-
trustful appearance-taverns were regarded
by the law as places of accommodation of trav-
elers, and their proprietors had no right to
turn them away, no matter whether they
thought them able to pay for their lodgings
or not His Honor said that this was clearly
the object of the law, and no license would
hereafter be granted where it was known that
this part of the landlords duty had not been
complied with. These remarks created no
little excitement among the tavern keepers
present, many whom expressed themselves in
objectional terms against the view taken by
the Judge. If this be the true intent of the
law-and it doubtless is-there has wide
diversion of it here ofore
