A PURsUIT.-No human being, however ex-
alted his rank and fortune, however enlarged
and cultivated his understanding, can long be
happy without pursuit Life is a ladder, on
which we climb from hope to hope, and by
expectation, strive to ascend to enjoyment /;
but he who fancies he has reached his highest
hope, is miserable indeed, or who enjoys the
utmost of his wishes; for many who have been
most successful in their respective undertakings
have given the gloomest description of the
emptiness of human pleasures. The pursuit
alone can yield true happiness; and the most
trihing object that has power to fascinate the
hopes of man. is worthy his attention.
The bliss we eovet, seems, at distant view,
To all superior; but when once possessed,
1t cloys-we spurn it-and another call.

Navigation Of the Upper San Joaquin.


The Stockton Argus gives full account of
an excursion on the upper San Joaquin, and
seems confident in the belief that the river can
be navigated during the greater part of the
year by steamers to Fresno City, at the head
of Kings river slough, from whence the dis
tance is but sixty miles to Visalia. We extract
portions of the account, as follows:
"The Peytona started on her trip from this
city up the San Joaquin on the 9th inst, and
was absent twelve days, having arrived here
on Friday last. She succeeded in reaching the
mouth of the Merced The greater portion Of
her time was consumed in cutting through
snags that obstructed navigation. The river
was unusually low-lower than it has been the
same season Of the year for the past eight
years. The water-marks show that the river
rises nineteen feet higher than the stage of
water met by the Peytona. The snags that
obstructed the passage Of the steamer had the
appearance of having been imbedded long
time, showing that when once removed (Which
may easily be effected no fears need be enter
tanned of otlers falling in the river to take their
places. In addition, the people on the banks
promise that when the river is cleared, they
will gladly keep it so by removing any timber
that might be in danger of falling in.
"Wth three feet more water, which is a
small rise for the San Joaquin, the Peytona
will be enabled to 90 to Fresno City, which is
but sixty miles from Visala and may be reached
by splendid wagon road.
"The country on the San Joaquin presents
a beautiful appearance, suitable for farming or
grazing purposes. The removal of the snags,
at comparatively small cost, would open these
valuable lands to settlers, and the attending
improvements would bring to the Golfers Of the
State large sum, by increasing the amount
of taxable property. Towns would spring up
along its banks as there are many pleasant
places for sites for residences, stores and land
ing places. A steamer will be a saving to the
people of Tulare county, as they have to pay
four and half cents in summer and from seven
to eight cents in winter per pound for freight
by teams; besides, complaints are frequently
made that goods are damaged by the natural
wear of wagons travelling over hills and rough
roads. The Peytona charges three cents per
pound for freight, thus saving to those in that
Valley an immense amount in few months.
One house in Visalia, during four months, paid
freight bills to the amount of $6000"

The state Fair Receipts, &c.

The statement copied from the Sandusky Re
gister showed only small surplus Of receipts
over the expenditures known and estimated--
The actual surplus when the Fair matters are
fully closed up will bemuch larger, forto the re-
ceipts the value of the lumber used in erecting
the buildings, &c, on the grounds, say $1,000,
is to be added. THIS surplus would have been
still greater, but for the fact that the Board
added premiums to the amount Of s., 900 to the
lists heretofore given, making total of $4,000
of premiums, instead Of the usual amount OF
$4,000. OF these "a, 500 were paid in cash.
The Sandusky was the first State Fair since
the advent of Hard Times" and the total re-
ceipts are all that could have been anticipated.
The State Board of Agriculture, in just ap-
probation Of "honor to whom honor is due, -
at the close Of the Fair unanimously adopted
the following.
Resoloed. That this Board IS deeply sensible
Of its obligations TO the citizens of the Sandus-
Ky for their hearty cooperation to secure the
successful issue of the State Fair. The Board
cannot forget their hberality, their cheerful la
bOrs, or their generous hospitality. Especially
are the thanks Of The Board due 10 Messrs. Bar

How the RnIIaon Carried on Dc. Thurston.

How the Balloon Carried OF MIR. Thurston-
The Adrian EIpOsitOr gives the following ae-
count of the circumstances attending the uneI'
pected ascension Of Mr. ThuTston, obtained
from Mr.. Bannister-
After the descent, the car was made fast, and
the gas allowed to escape from the valve Tor
nearly half-hOur when with the aid Of other per
sons, Messrs. Thurston and Baunister proceed
ed to detach the basket from the netting. This
being accomplished, and the netting also taken
from the silk, Mr. Thurston proceeded 10 the top
end, where is the valve, and obtaining 8 firm
hold of the silk, compressed it and seated him
self astride the valve block which was inside and
about l3 inches in diameter, circular in shape,
and of inch board. Thus seated, with his arms
around the compressed silk, with the aid Of an
other man, holding the balloon, he told the
othe-s to let 90 and let up the mouth Of the
balloon, which with its diameter of Is inches it
was supposed would quickly discharge the gas
Il will be understood by our readers that Mr..
Thurston was at this time on the ground, seated
on the valve block. with his legs and arms en-
closing the top of the balloon from which the
gas had been pressed into the other or lower
part of the balloon. Under him was the valve
block, around which the entire silk Of the top
part of the balloon, after passing through his
arms and legs, was firmly fastened. According
to Mr. Thurston's order the lower part OF the
balloon was thrown up In an instant the whole
jumped into the air carrying Mr.. ThurstOn and
his assistant with it. The assistant was holding
On the silk with Mr.. ThurstOn, merely with his
hands, and alter going up about ten feet let 90
and dropped without injury. Relieved Of this
weight, up went the balloon, with Mr.. Thurs
ton, with increased velocity.
