CLIMATE OF CALrFoRNIA.-The Hon. Rev. Sam
uel B. Bell, in his address delivered before the
State Agricultural Fair on the 23d inst, thus
eloquently and truthfully speaks of the climate
of California
Our climatc-there is no winter in it. Our
winter is an everlasting spring. Our summer an
everlasting autumn that yields the more by reap
ing. What an inheritancei New and warm
without maleria. pilgrim soil, prolific of all
things but the ague and the pestience.
Climate p? climates rather! We have all the
good, without any admixture of an evil climate
of the globe.
No epicure of air and temperature, and wa
ter, and medicinal fountains, and food, but that
he can, within few miles of any given spot
crafty his most voluptuous whim in them ALL
Whether in the strong embrace of the breeze Of
the Pacific slopes and the golden gates-wheth-
er in the soft, luxurious zephyrs of the valleys Of
the Sacramento, the San Joaquin, the Feather
and the Yuba; of Santa Barbara, Los Angelo:
and San Diego. Or whether in the pure and
lucid ether of the Sierras, where no cloud nor
fog IS seen in the transparent azure; where there
Is no decay, where flesh does not corrupt where
beef, mutton and venison are preserved by the
curing chemistry of the pellucid air."

PRoDUcrIvESEss OF CALIFORNIA LAyps-I,

PRoDUcTIvENEss OF CALIFORNIA LAyDs.-In
speaking of the productiveness of California
farms, Rev. Sam. B. Bell says:
Whole farms have been made to yield 1900
bushels of potatoes to the acre 90 bushels of
barley; ITO bushels of corn go bushels of
wheat, and from fifty to one hundred pounds of
carrots beets, turnips and onions to the acre.
Inc same land has been made to produce four
crops OF peas in one year, and strawberries to
yield during seven months of the twelve
Since 1855, in State Agricultural Fair, l
have seen beet that weighed 125 pounds; a
turnip that weighed upwards of 80 pounds ;
corn stalk 25 feet in hight; and pears that
weighed four pounds apiece
The Shasta courier., 1858-08-28

DoS'T Crowd HIM-Tom Springer, proprietor
and editor of the Amador Ledger, a sterling
Democratic paper, has done something to dis
please some of the one-horse politicians in his
county, and they intimate their determination to
withdraw their patronage, and thus crush him
out! Poor fools. However, Springer don't
seem to be frightened much. No sensible man
would be- He seems to follow Pope's method,
to
=" flap this bug with gilded wings,
This painted child of dirt that stinks and sings. {"
Every community has large number of
just such fools in it. Many is the time that
similar threats have been made against the
Courier by the most contemplate fellows in the
COMMUNICATIONS who never paid dollar for
the good of their party-who are actuated in all
they do by the de ire to secure office, or retain
one already in their possession-and who, SO
far from having aided in sustaining our paper,
are now on our books for greater amount in
the aggregate than all the patronage we ever
received at the hands of the Democratic party OF
this county And yet these men actually think
they are carrying upon their Herculean shoul-
ders not only the Democratic party at large, but
the Courier in addition! The conceit, no doubt
makes them happy. We have not the heart to
knock it out of heads which, but for its pres
ence, would ache for very emptiness On the
contrary, if the hallucination will make them
happy, we invite every other fool in the county
to adopt it.
The Shasta courier., 1858-08-28

SELLING BooKs.-Our old friend, A. Roman, is
now in Marysville with an immense stock of
books, which he is nightly disposing of at auc-
ton to visitors to the State Fair
The following account of one of his sales is
reported by a correspondent of the S. F. National.
We trust he may have several thousand equally
profitable bids:
The indications in this region are that Mr..
Baldwin will clean out his Benicia friend with
out much trouble. To illustrate the feeling,
have but to mention the fact that on yesterday,
at one OF our book auctions, a copy of Baldwins s
" Flush Times in Alabama" was put up "f for
what it would bring" The volume started at
one dollar Gti is worth tpo.) A long bearded
man, with red shirt, sang out 81 So A pause
ensued. The auctioneer knew his point. Says
he, gentlemen, this is the production of our
own Joe Baldwin, candidate for Supreme Judge
shall it be sacrificed? ?" "Five dollars said
another voice. SIS it old Joe Baldwin, my can
didate for Supreme Judge?" asked gentleman
present. :" 1t is the work of that man." was the
answer. "But is it the same old Joe who smokes
segars wrong end foremost, and rears his hat
daray back Of his head?" persisted the stranger
" That's the man." was the reply. "Then," was
the answer, I'll give you six dollars for the
bookl' and at this price "Baldwin's Flush Times
In Alabama" was knocked down. This is a
true story and needs no comment

AccIDESr.-As Ben Mix was passing over
the -" Divide" few days ago, in buggy, he
was met by pack train, and during his efforts
to avoid collision, his buggy was upset and
considerably smashed, while at the same time
his life vas greatly imperrilled. This Divide
is only mile or two from this place, and is
the worst piece of road between Shasta and
Weaverville. 1t is, in fact, scandalous piece
of road, and a reproach to some oae-but to
whom? Oh, there is the question:
