ment domain, adjacent to the coast, from the

MAN-oF-WAR FAsHIoN.-Mr. ]. A. Thompson
of the Pioneer Express, visited us on last Sun
day; he says the only way stage coaches can
cross to Carson Valley by the Placeryille route,
will be by the man-of-war fashion !" that is,
tn fix blocks and tackle to the rocks and tim
Der to drag the stages and horses up both divides,
and then to lower them down by the same pro-
cess. Mr. Thompson asserts this in real earn
est;-of course be only speaks of the road as
now travelled In case q tunnel should be dug
through the mountsins. the road would be
much better, and the incline not so STEEP.

Knowing that the report of deficiency of
this kind has become current throughout the
county, we embrace this opportunity to state
that there is no such deficiency on the part of
this county, or its officers to the State The APP
parent deficiency is caused by an error, or er-
rors made in the Office of the State Controller
in making up the account.

BIG TREES OF MARIPoSA.-The editor of the
Mariposa Gazette, has discovered another Big
Tree Grove, way up on the South Fork of the
Merced river; the largest of these trees are only
respectively, 273, %, 30, %, 81 and 241 feet in
diameter making, no doubt, very respecta-
BILE array of tall timber" But by looking at
them wih the Big Trees of the Calaveras the
Mammoth Tree Grove of Mr.. A. S. Haynes J
it will be seen that the Mariposa trees are mere
saptangs and would not make respectable-size
hoop-poles or fshing-rods compared with the
forest giants near Murphy's. The largest tree
of the Caaveras group, father of the Forest
measures liz feet in circumference, or Mirtv-
seuen feet sir inches in diameter, and four hun
dred and fifty feet high,-when standing,-now
fallen Ninety-four of these trees are standing
within an area of fifty acres, and the smallest
one is much larger than the largest of the Ma
riposa trees. We verify believe the sugar-pine
in the Big Tree valley, of the Calaveras, are
larger than any other trees in the State outside
OF that spot We advise Mr.. Holmes, of the
Gazette, not to crow until he is out of the woods
but come right up as principal companion of
Doesticks (of the Stockton Aryus,) and see our
timber. We will show you trees, srs, so tall.
that the lower limbs are beyond shooting dis
tance of Mississippi rifle, and the green cones
SO high, that while falling they become dry as
powder, before striking the ground, so great
the distance travelled, 1--WE infer this by finding
no green cones under the trees) We have it
from an old hunter, told in all seriousness, that
an emlgrant lost an OK at the base of the peeled
tree; ne pursued the fugitive nonsequitur two
days, around the root of the tree without dis
covering that the steer was on the other side,
walking the same way, hunting the "train .
Winter came on and that OK died, of despair
IN his fruitless search Recently, while on
visit to the Grove, we saw his bones bleaching
beneath the outrageous shade of that peeled
tree monument to the truth of this legend, OF
the lost OK, coroborated as it was by 'mine
host" of the Big Tree Grove Hotel

DESTRUCTION OF DRYTowN.-We learn from
the Sacramento Union, that fire broke out IN
Drytown, Amador county, on Monday morning
about 8 o'clock, in bakery on the east side Of
Main street. and next door to Bishops Livery
Stable, which it was found impossible to extln-
guish. Every house on either side of the street,
with the contents was consumed, except only
one, viz: the fre-proof brick of Williams &
Co., occupied as a provision store. The full ex-
tent of the loss is not yet ascertained, but 1t
is estimated that it will amount to between one
hundred and one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
San Andreas independent., 1857-06-20

SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL AcCIDENT.-We arc
grieved to hear of IL serious accident which hap
pcned Mr.. Elijah Smith, who resides on the
first ranch east of this place. On Monday last,
Mr. Smith was hauling hay ranch at Muir
rays creek; after loading the wagon he started
for the stack being on top of the load, driving
the team and also to prevent the hay from fall
ing off. After driving short distance the
load capsized taking Mr.. Smith with it in fall
ing, the tynes of a pitchfork, in some unaccount
able way, caught underneath the left shoulder
blade; two OF the tynes bent over, the other
passed INTO and nearly through the body from
the left shoulder blade to the right breast AL
though the wound is very serious homes are
entertained that the accident will not prove fa
tai, as under the skillful management and kind
care OF Drs Austin and Ringo the patient is
quite easy and the case very favorable.
