MONSTER PEAcHEs.-JabeS Sawin brought
us a half dozen of the most immense peaches
yesterday, we have ever seen. They are
from BidwelPs ranch, and present to US
from the Major himself. Jabe tells US that
these are but samples of an inexhaustible
supply now hanging on the trees of Major
Bidwell.s orchard. We are of the opinion
that no country on earth can produce larger
or more luscious peaches than these; we
certainly have never seen their equals.

WELLER AND WILLIAMS. The Democracy
of Butte county should remember that
the Democratic nominees for Governor and
Attorney General, will speak in OrOville on
Monday next. This may be the last oppor-
tunity the citizens of the county to hear
these gentlemen discuss the issues involved
in the present campaign, and as they are
eloquent speakers, familiar with the political
history of the country, and candidates for
the endorsement of the people, we hope they
may be greeted with general rally from
oil portions of the county. 1t will be the
first meeting of the campaign in Butte, and
the Democracy should start the ball with q
momentum that would carry the Democratic
ticket far beyond the reach Of harm from
the spasmodic efforts of the disjointed oppo-
stion
The Keystone Club, of Oroville, will be
called together, we understand, to perfect
arrangements. provide Speakers stand,
&c., and will be pleased to meet the Democ-
racy of Butte upon that occasion.

A STALE JoKE.-Some four years ago,
"John Phenix,'' officiated as Pro Tenn of
the San Diego Herald, during the absence
of its Editor, J. Judson Ames, and by way
of an original joke, reversed the politics of
the paper, and placed Waldo's name at the
head of the column in place of Bigler's -
The joke was new, and carried out in Ph0
nix's style, was very funny and very laugh
able. Since that time various humble
disciples of Phoenix have repeated the joke,
and have very rightly been kicked out of the
sanctums they profaned with their servile
limitations Of their truly facetous prede-
cessor Ames has been again victimiEed by
some brainess ass who took advantage Of
his position Of Pro TEN to denounce Mr.
Broderick. These asinine plagiarsts de-
serve the contempt of every sensible man
and woman who reads a newspaper. Ph@.
nixs Joke, though severe one, had at least
the merit of originality, but these imita-
tions thereof are exhibitions of great mental
imbecility on the part Of their perpetrators

WATERMELoNs.--Davi Weaver, our can
didate for Assessor, called on us yesterday
with whopping big watermelon under each
arm. He dropped the fruit on our table,
and started off before we had time to thank
him. His chances for success in the coming
campaign are about as numerous as the
seeds in his watermelons. May his melon
patch never grow less.

Weller and enc Wagon Road.

1t is with pride that we point to the rec
ord of Col. Weller, or nominee for Governor,
upon the National Wagon Road and Over
land Mail Route subject. This measure
passed Congress when Col. Weller was the
only Senator ir Congress from this State
These measures nearly concern the prosper
ity and advancement of the State, as they
remove the principal obstacle to emigration
to the Pacific coast, and add to our popula-
tion class Of hardy enterprising men
men who constitute the true wealth of the
State, the farmer and producer. tits main
ly to Mr.. Weller that we are indebted for
the passage of these measures. 1t is true,
in urging their adoption, he but gave ex-
preston to the unanimous voice of his con-
stituents But this was his duty, and as in
other instances, the record shows that he
discharged it faithfully.
judicious expenditure of these appro-
priations will confer vast benefits upon as a
State, and upon the entire population of the
Pacific coast. 1t is with pride that the De-
mocracy of California may ask to be sus-
tanned by the almost unanimous voice of
the State, while such measures attest the
faithiulness, capability and public devotion
of their standard bearer. That California
under Mr. Weller's administration, would
rapidly advance in all the elements that
constitutes the true wealth and greatness
of State, none can doubt. who are willing
to examine the record of his public acts To
that he refers as the guaranty for the future
by it he is willing to be judged, and to
stand or fall upon its merits.

POLICE REPORTS. L. Esh took the liber-
ty of hitting Oliver Gunson over the head
with tumbler, which fact being proven to
the satisfaction of Judge Stafford, Esh was
mulcted in the sum of $50. lie settled.
John Measels was caught by officer Duret
in the act of shooting chickens, in violation
of the ordinance regarding firearms, and
was brought before Judge Elliot who fined
him $40 This is the most singular case of
measels we have heard of lately and strange
as it may seem, Notwithstanding officer Du-
ret caught them as aforesaid, he seems to
feel no i'll effects therefrom, but on the con
trary, likes it.
Two boys, brothers, assailed man with
stones and injured his face very severely -
They we're taken before Judge Elliot, who
fined the elder fifty dollars for his vicious
ness. The younger was under thirteen and
consequently not amenable to the laws The
elder of the two is barely old enough to
come within the provisions of the statute
This is an instance of "you thiul depravlty.'

NAH. CoAcu UpsEr DOWN PRrcrrIcE---
Sereral Passengers Seriously IWured.--On
Thursday morning at o'clock. says the Pitts
burg Gazette, the Butler mail stage started
from Allegheny city, with an unusually large
number OF passengers---sAteen inside and
four or five outside. Nothing worthy ofnote
occurred until they were nine miles out, with
in three-quarters Of mile Of Colts tavern ;
when one of the lead horses was attacked
with the "blind staggers," and realed over
the side Of the road, pulling along the other
leader, together with the shaft horses and the
Zach, down precipice some thirty f ct de p
with rocks at the bottom. Proyidentially, at
hal! the distance there was piece ofsoft level
ground few icet wide, and here tho coach
and horses lodged Had they gone to the
b.;'cir, or TO the ledge Of rocks. it is highly
probable that some might have been kf.
led.
As it was there existed great confusion and
feors, and those Who could eXtricate them
selves set TO work Immediately to unlose the
horses, for fear OF their commencing to strug-
CHE thus putting in emminent danger the three
or four passengers whose bodies could be seen
p,otrudlng fom under the stage in all direc-
lions. This being done, aud the animals
found to ho only little bruised. the next
thing was tU lift up the coach, 50 as to allow
those underneath to get out. By this time
many country wagons had reached the spot
and by the help 0! the farmers this was nc
complishcd.
Mr.. Ohm McAllister, ofthe Second Ward
Alley heny city was the most seriously injur-
ed. DR. Ormbsy, passenger. examined him,
and found that two of his lower ribs were
broken, spine bruised and the skin rubbed Off
his back. He was carried 10 Colts tavern,
and bled, where he remained until about ten
O'Clock ct night, when Mr.. Walker of this
city, brought him home in buggy, arriving
there at two o'clock This morning. We cal
led on Mr.. McA at noon and It pleases us TO
ay that he i much easier, although his linl q
are very stiff and sore. lie tells US that as
3 on rs he saw tie lead horses tumbing over,
he tried 10 jump out, and would have succeed
ed had not man been sitting on his coat
lap. His head and shoulders were outside,
and the stage in striking, lodged fair across
his back, were it must have remained twenty
minrtos Had it not been for the yielding
nature Of the ground, he would nc doubt have
been killed.
The other persons hurt were a youn2 man
named Ross Of Allegheny, Mr.. McWhinley
Of Pttshurg, and an old lady with little boy
all of whom had their legs more or less crush
ed by being caught under the falling stage
Soma Of the passengers continued their jour

exceedingly thankful that the accident had
