INTERIOR ITEMs.-On entering our sanctunl
this morning the Red Bluff Beacon was the
only fresh exchange visible our table We
make the following selection from It's well
filled columns;
| FREIGHr.-The c. S. n. Co.. boats that con
tinue to make their regular trips, twice a
week, notwithstanding the river is now at II
lower stage than has been known for years,
land at our wharf, on an average, l40 tons
at each load. The warehouses are all full of
freight awaiting transportation to the north
Teams and pack trains are all engaged, and
times, generally. seem to be on the improve
CLEAR LAKE CITY.-Our neighbor, w. ii.
Abel, Esq, informs lis that while on a recent
trip to Meldocno county, and the Clear
Lake region, he was very much struck with
the beauty and fertility of the country, the
peculiarly prosperous condition of the farm
ers and graziers, and its salubrous and pleas
ant climate. Indeed so much taken up with
the country did he become, that he has pur
chased town site commanding safe and
beautiful harbor, on the Lake, and cristened
it Clear Lake City. A schooner is now being
built which is calculated to figure in the mar
itine relations and importance of this new
sea port. We are further informed that all
now required is blacksmith and a wagon
makers shop, and a population to complete
the city.
The CoMEr-One of these hairy monsters
is lodging about through the heavens. and
brandishng his frey tail with an air of great
threatening. In the morning he is visible
in the N E., two or three hours apparently,
ahead of the sun in its rising, and in the
evening he shows himself again in the n. w,
about the same distance behind the sun that
he was ahead of it in the morning We
scarcely know what to make of this erratic
genius, and pass him over to those learned
in Astronomy. What do they say of him ?
Is he the frey destroyer that was looked
for little over year agJ, to hurl old earth
from his track, worn smooth 10y the continued
revolutions of six thousand years or is he Il
mere nebula through and around which the
suns rays present the appearance ofthe tail
we see streaming away from its nucleus.
A WHAPPING BIG DEER.-A large buck, the
saddle of which weighed 50 pounds, was
killed by j. G. Doll, Esq, of our town, on
the head waters of Thomas Creek, last week
1t is believed that the whole carcass nett
would have weighed $50 pounds, withou
the head and neck, or 275 pounds with thos
included. Messrs. Doll and Snedekcr wer
several days in the mountains, hunting an,
fishing, during which time they killed eigh
deer and caught a fine string of mountain
: trout.
MORE ABOUT THE RAcEs-We were in erro
last week, in supposing that the patronage 0
the Tehama Jockey Club was withheld from
this paper through the whim of the Secretary
as that gentlemen has assured US that he de
sired the club to advertise in this paper an,
they refused to do So The advertisement O
the day is ordered and paid for by Gabe Mes
sersmith, of the Tehama House, as an indi
r vidual, and not as a member of the Clul
We hope our interior and city exchange
will note the fact that Gabe not only keep
an excellent house, but that he is liberal i
| his dealings, and that those intending to at
tend the races had better just book them
selves to Gabe's care,
DIGGER DANcE-About three hundred hi
dians collected near the camp meeting groun
on Saturday and Sunday evenings, and ha,
bit of dance, giving vent occasionally t
their feelings in such loud numbers, as t
mlngle their voices with those of their pale
faced brethren, who were simultaneously o.
fering up their petitions to the Most iIigl
, and each in accordance with the spirit of on
). free institutions worshipping God accordn
= to the dictates of their own eonsciences
