CoLoNEI FREMoNr's TITLES IN CALI
FoRN1A BY late arrivals from California
we learn hat sin the District Court OF
Mariposa County, the injunction suit OF
the MERGED Mining Company versus Col
onel Fremont, was decided for the defen
dant upon general demurrer to the com
plant. The injunction had previously
been disc lved by the District Judge. The
late deeis ION of the Supreme Court (affirm-
ing the order granting the injunction dis
tinctly decides that the owner Of the soil
has TIE right to enjoin miners from taking
gold or silver from the land. An eject
mon, BY Biddle Baggs, leasee of Colonel
Ere mont, against the MERGED Mining Com
pany, for the celebrated mount Of his Re
d lotion Works, was also tried at the late
I ERIN of the District Court, and although
the defendants interposed an answer, in the
nature of bill in equity, insisting upon all
their pretensions, and urging every conceiv-
able objection to the Fremont title, after y
protracted trial, decree was rendered In
favor of the plaintiff for the possession of
the land, with all the works and improve
,nonte, and damages for the detention"

Failures.
A ln Q

New York, August 26, 1857.
We hasten to announce that the Ohio
Life & Trust Company, of Cincinnati has
failed; the ainount of its liabilities not ex
actly known, but supposed to amount 70
at least @7,0oo,oo0. Extended loans o.
Railroad Bonds is the immediate cause OF
;ts failure. This institution has long heel,
looked upon as bulwaIk of financial
strength, and has always been managed by
men Of great responsibility. But they
have been dealing largely IN stocks Of late,
and the great decline in their value has
caused the shipwreck.
STILL ANoTHER-Harlly had the news
OF the above failure ceased vibrating or
the telegraph wires, than they were nme-
dia:ely employed in announcing the failure
,of Mr.. John Thompson, Banker and Pub
fisher of Thompson's Reporter, 2 Wall
Street. Mr.. Thompson's liability will not
exceed $250,00O, he having paid up as
long as he could command funds. But
the Trust Company's failure completely
shook all confidence, and Mr.. Thompson
was unable TO negotiate.

MATTERS IN New YoRK.-1'he tele-
graph, Saturday, reporte more failures in
New York, and private dispatches added
to the list names not found in the public
accounts. Stocks continue to tumble, and
lii would seem that some of them cannot
well get much lower. Confidence in near
ly all Railroad securities is gone for the
time being, and it will require the best OF
management, on the part of Railway Di
rectors, to regain even a portion of what
they have lost. Since the crash had to
come, it has come in good time: just as
the immense crops Of the country are a
bout to be marketed. They will help ma

A WATERspouT BELOW QuEBEc.-The
Rev. L. Prouix, priest of Eeieasor, county
of Beauce, writes to the Journal de que
bee very graphic description of water
spout which devasted his parish, and OF
which he was an eye witness. A large
and dark cloud was overhanging the place
on Sunday forenoon, 18th July, when
noise, like that of sea in a storm, gave
warning of the approach of something I'M
usual. Soon the cloud seem TO burst, let
ting fall towards the earth long tram
somewhat in the shape Of funnel, with
the small end turned downward. 1t re-
volved rapidly, kissing like escaped steam,
and swinging to and fro, and initiating the
contortiens of snake. When the small
end reached the ground, ii lifted and car
ried away in its revolving impetus what
ever it came into contact with. Boards,
timber, stones and portions OF houses were
whirled in the air, and thrown at distance
with a fearful report. Several houses were
thus raised from the ground. One horse
and three cows were drawn by the power
of suction of the waterspout, and after be-
ing raised high in the air, were let gradu-
ally down; they escaped uninjured and
were only covered with mad. Five carts
were carried to great height and thrown
across some fields into the woods, being
smashed by the fall. Large trees, such as
naples, have been uprooted and removed
distance of five acres. This phenomenon,
although disastrous and awful, must have
been sublime sight, which is granted to
very few, especially in Canada, to wit
ness,

A STUNNING ALARM.-A Yankee has
got up a capital invention to turn lazy
people out of bed in the morning. The
whole apparatus is slowed away in cask
which is rolled irto the room when the
person is about to retire, and the contents
|thereupon taken out and distributed, in
due form, as follows The first article is
a Yankee clock, which is arranged on the
vibration board over the top of the cask,
and set at the hour required. You then,
with the assistance Of several men, lift the
the whole affair on chair at the head Of
your bed, and retire. Immediately at the
hour designated the alarm runs down, and
the vibration of the board sets in motion
several revolving dinner gongs, which in
turn discharge a pistol aimed with precls-
ion at peg supporting fifty pans of buck
shot. This, of course, upsets the Whole
affair, and, by curious centrivance, gives
aE inclination to the cask, and unless the
sleeper gets out of bed marvelously quick,
lands the whole concern, Yankee clock
and all, on the top of him.

whyProyisions Have Beer. Dear.

The Philadelphia Pe.msylve MAN has
compiled some statistics which serve mi
part to explain the extraordinary high prl-
ces of all kinds Of provisions which have
ruled the past yearor two. In 1910, Tor
instance, the United States produced 81
$4,000 bushels Of wheat, 09,0O0,0OOl
bushels of Irish and sweet potatoes, II
100000 head Of cattle. Had agriculture
remained simply stati )nary- consieringi
the increase of popu ation-it ought to
have produced in l85),ll5,240,o00 bush
els of wheat, 10000 900 bushels of pota-
toes. 2O,349,0OO heal of cattle. Instead
Of which,it only yielded 1oo,48o, 000bush-
els of wheat, lo4, 100000 bushels Of pota-
toes, Is, 37s, 00S head of cattle. Thus the
dimunition of these articles during peri
cd of ten wears, amounted to about s. OO,-
900 bushels of wheat, which is falling
off Of II; Al 900 900 bushels of potatoes,
which is FILLING off of J; 100000 head
Of cattle, which is falling off of LILO Of the
production in l9to-duly taking into cal
-ulation the increase of population. Here
tIren,w we have one reason for the advance OF
provisions.
While agriculture thus prove dunable to
keep pace with the growth Of the popula-
ton, the expectation of brcadstutfs increas-
ed prodgious y, which, of course, reacted
upon the home market. The value of
bread stuffs and provisions exported aver
age per annnn for the period.
From 1890 to 1910 $12,O00,000
1910 to 1850 2S,OO0,000
1856 to 1856 100000
Thus the expectation more than double
in ten years, and nearly double in the last
seven years.
These facts, taken in connection with
the dispersion of laborers over the wild
and non, producing lands Of the west, by
the railroa Is, will go far to explain why
the provision for family cost more than
twice what it cost then, or even five years
ago. There has been an immense temp
tation drawing the laboring classes to the
west. Before they left they used to pro-
duce more han they consumed. Now
that is for he first year Or two after their
emigration they consne more than they
produce, what they produce is not
within the reach of consumers. 1t will
not always nor long be SO, we hope.
