sble injury could arise from passing over the fuming
part provided care is taken in its construction having
a due regard to strength and permanency. tollpath
thus completed, with convenient stopping places for
man and horse would draw travellers from the cities
to visit the Valley and the trip might be rendered not
only agreeable to visitors but profitable to the compa
nv. The erection of dam for the reservoir, would
food one third of the valey-equa to lake of five
miles in circumference and five six feet deep. The
grandeur of the Valley would be increased while the
merry picnic parties could glide on the surface of the
transparent waters to the very foot of the frowning
precpices However, we can dispense with ditch
path, if they will only favor us with the promised
Ditch for next summer we shall be as badly of for
water at present. if the Ditch is not constructed.

CouRT OF SEssIoSs--The Court of Sessions, COM
posed of the County Judge and Justices Watts and
washburn, completed the business Of the April term
and adjourned on Wednesday last. Only three indct-
ments were found by the Grand Jury, and two cases
tried In one the defendant was convicted Of assault
and fined 81 and COSTS and the other defendant was
fined the sum Of 80 and costs.
The paucity Of criminal cases at this term, besides
being a consong omen of the diminution of crime, is
subject of congratulation account of the expense
saved to the County, which heavy criminal docket
never fails to entail.

DAYLIGHT TnEArRIcAIs.-The other day,
says the Sacramento city Item, the Chinese
gave histronic entertainment at the Sacra-
mento Theatre. We looked in, and saw an
excited Chinaman playing what might have
been a Celestial Richard Third. His loud and
vehement tones were relieved by the melody
of two large sized gongs. As it takes foul
weeks for them to perform an entire play, We
concluded not to wait for the afterpicce.

TIE Town of RED BLUFFs--The Red Bluff
Beacon says: Our town is by far the most i'm
portant place in the Sacramento Valley, in
point of geographical position, as well as the
agricultural and commercial advantages which
it possesses. Its close proximity to the great
Northern Mines and this being the acknow-
lodged of navigation of the beautiful Sacramen-
to river, making it the depot Of trade and
transhipment Of merchandise to the entire
mountain region north of us, at once places
this city in position to cope successfully with
any town in California. In fact, we think we
are justified in saying that its manifest destiny
is to be the great inland mart of the almost
boundlcss Sacramento Valley, and the place Of
exchange of commodities between the great
commercial emporium on our scaboard, the
products of the valley, and the precious metals
Of the inexhaustible northern mines.

the Calaveras Chronicle, had been worked two

No Salt is fit for backing pork unless it is dry a~d lsrd Ruck or Venezuela Salt is the best for pork First, because it Is made near CT the s,luator in lattuoe 5. where the water is more strongly impr, gnated with salt, and second, because che action of the k more powerful on the pa s thus rendering it more dry, pure, and Of greater strength and 1t is more free fr,m lime than sny other.
