SECOND CRoP OF PEARS We were
shown yesterday, several Bartlett pears,
from the ranch of James Lick, of Santa
Clara county, being the second crop
this year. There was at leas: a half a
bushel of fine ripe pears, grown on this
young tree, and though the fruit was
past tasting, from having been kept too
long, still the form was perfect. The
first crop matured, and was of excellent
quality, and from E. W. Leonard's judge
ment, he having tasted the second crop
at Mr.. Lick's ranch, the latter had all
the delicious flavor of this favorite fruit.
Lick has paid much attention of late
years to fruit growing, and, we under
stand, has two hundred acres of ground
9 put in with choice varieties of all kinds
of fruit.-AHa.

INDIAN AGENT ROBBED Mr.. .. +.
Storms Indian Agent of Nome Cult was
found in a field, near Sam. Neal $ rancho
having been thrown from his horse
while on his way from Nears to
Lowery's to take the up stage. Wbile
insensible from the fall,he was robbed
of about $500 and his gold watch, and
when found, his pocket book and valua-
BILE papers. amongwhich were some thou
sand of dollars in drafts, which were sea-
tered upon the ground. 1t is supposed
the robber waylaid him in the da:k,
frightened the horse to produce the fall.
He was found this morning, and brought
here, considerably, but not dangerously,
injured and bruised. He says he was in
sensible from the fall till 3 O'Clock
this morning, when he found his saddle
bags and bridle placed near him'and his
horse tied to tree. He attempted to
crawl away on his hands aud knees, but
but was compelled to remain till fortu-
nately discovcred.-Beacon.

DIR. LIVINGSTON IN AFRICA-Another
letter has been received from DR.. Liv-
ingston, the distinguished African ex-
plorer, dated Zambesi, June 21st. The
party had fitted up steam launch and
were proceeding up the Zambesi, to the
infinite disgust, says the writer, Of hip
potami. whole herds of which rush off at
the approach of the steamer. The Doc
tor suggests the employment of small
steam vessels to chase the slavers on
the rivers, instead of taking it out of the
poor slaver's muscles at the oar.

Grape Gro,osng IN the Mountains.-
The Sonora Democrat, of Nov, 9th, gives
an account of the successful cultivation
of the vine near that town on the part of
a company of five Frenchmen, who set
tied in California SOME six or seven years
ago, and who have been constantly en-
gagged in their business. 1t says: When
they commenced operations, the spot Sc
lected was barren waste; it is now one
of the most beautiful and fourishing ran
chos in the mountains, and has become
the generalresort of our citizens to while
away pleasan: hour, and enjoy the
most luscious fruit. The place is fa-
nous for the variety and excellence Of
the grapes grown, however, and in
this it excels. There are now on
the ranch between 10000 and 10000
vines, and they have produced this sea-
son upwards of sixty tons of the most de-
licious grapes. Although beginning the
enterprise with scarcely any capital,
they are, if not rich, at least well to do
in the world. This Summer they erect
ed on the premises large fire-proof
building, under which is a spacious eel
lar, and have commenced the manufac-
tire of wine.

This Road is now in excellent condition,
and has always been regarded by the travelling
community as the most easy and direct route to
Sweetlands Sebastopol, North San Juan and other
towns and mining localities upon the ridge.
The Tolls collected upon the Bridge are now av-
eraging from Seven to Twelve dollars per diem,

be amiss to the gentlemen of the quill.

vines enough already planted in the

PRESCRIPTION IN PoLITICs.-A ready
subject for locofocos to descant upon in
the past, and even the present, is the
prescription of foreigners by the Amer
lean party. 1t is theme ON which
superabundance of patriotism and sym
pathy has been expended. and with ef-
feet too, tits not to be denied. How
earnest and heartfelt were all these
manifestations is now easily discovered.
Not alone does the Administration
which rode into power over the ruins,
and by the abuse of the American party
prescribe foreigners, but going farther
applies the guillotine to every Ameri-
can born Democrat who dares to enter
tain sentiment not in common with the
Federal Administration. AS in the days
of the Reign of Terror, thousands are
convicted of being suspected and in
stantly beheaded. All over the Union
officers of the highest grade down to
pos.masters are daily receiving sentence,
and even workmen in our Navy Yards
suspected of being true to the people are
turned out to seek employment else
where. The Philadelphia News says
that every workman in the navy yard of
that place known or suspected of being
favorable to the election of George w.
Nebinger to Congress in place of Flor
ence, plant tool of Buchanan, were
ordered to leave, and Immediately the
yard swarmed with Florenceites, SO
thick as to be in each others way. How
these parasites are paid the one hundred
millions per annum which the govern
ment squanders may afford satisfactory
answer. A pertinent inqiry may be
made, if it was SO fagrantly wrong to
prescribe foreigners from office, what
sort of a crime is it to drive American
laborers out of employment simply for
political opinion sake We hope some
of those noisy ones in the tilt against
the Knownothings will inform us.
