sickness of q lady in this city which is said to
have been caused in the fellowing manner: Her
daughter, quite o small girl, was attacked with
o disease, the symptoms of which were similar
to those Of the putrd sore throat; in an effort
to induce the child to take some medicine. the
mother was bitten on the end Of the thumb BY
the sufferer, and she was compelled to have the
bone Of the injured member taken OF at the

ment is that shortly after she was bitten, the

THE GRAIN CRoP.-We observe in some Of eur
exchanges, says the Napa Reporter, the usual
predictions Of short crops, which are wont to-
appear about this season, II may be very true
that the coming harvest will be less abundant
than usual in some parts of the State, bat taxi
ing Napa and SonOma counties as criterion,
we should certainly arrive at very opposite
conclusions Notwithstanding the recent rains,
we hear no complaint OF rust or injury in any
fern to the Coming crop. Indeed it was never
more promising, and the prospect ls' that she
approaching harvest will fully equal any that
have preceded it, The amount of grain sown
is much greater than it was last year.

minutes but brought no papers, The reason
of this is supposed to be that many hundred
persons are in a state Of extreme distress, II
not of absolute starvation, at both Port Town
send and Bellingham Bay, unable to GO fer
ward to the Frazer river mines, and without
money to pay their passage back to San Fran
cisco hence she did not like TO give them
chance to board her.
