WHAT THE ODD FELLOWS Do.--A while ago a Swiss
died in Sacramento, says the dge, leaving property
worth about So 800 he was unknown except to the
Odd Fellows. After his death certain parties claimed
the property, but the Odd Fellows Relief Committee
thinking the claim fraudulent, wrote to the Lodge in
New Orleans of which the deceased had been a mem-
Der, and there ascertaned that he had a relative in
Shasta, California a letter written to that rela
tive who informed that committee where the deceased
came from in Switzerland another letter was sent to
Switzerland which was replied to, with the niorna-
tion that the dead man had brother there with a
family in destitute circumstances. The Odd Fellows
of Sacramento have since sent the 50 500 to the dest
tute family, through the Swiss Consul, without the
abatement of dollar for all their trouble, and ere
long three four little Switzers will be clothed and
fed and made unspeakably rich, by more money than
they heard of-ony think how much bread 50 500
will buy in Switzerland

Good News.

There is now prospect of Mariposa County
being supplied with sufficient quantity of
water through the Mcneil operation, which
contemplates the introduction of water from
the South Fork of the Merced River, and the
Fremont Canal which will extend to the main
Merced River. This renders the aspect of
mining affairs in this region peculiarly encour-
aging, for though some time must yet elapse
before the two Canals can be completed, yet
the first pick struck into the ground on the
line of the Canals, will give an impetus to
trade and a value to mining claims before
unknown in this mining section of the State.
