cennial Census of the United States,

lions, manufactures. etc. Every cul-
tivator will be asked for concise,
accurate statement of land occupied
by Vim, the number of acres and the
amount of each crop raised during
tho year ending next June, etc.
Those who we're called upon in 1850
doubtless remember the difficulty ex :
perieneed making up an accurate re-
port Of the various crops. As these
reports viii be called for in June, it
! will be necessary TO give III the crops
gathered this year, and the sugges-
| tion we would how make is, that cul-
tivators write down, while fresh iD
mind, the number of acres in cultiva.

TEE SUNSET LAND
Oh! dimly through the mist OF years,
That roll their dreary waves between,
The gorgeous sunset laid appears,
s1F Arrayed in hues Of fadeless green;
And from that far-off sunny cline,
Old half-forgotten songs arise,
And stealing Ger the waves Of Time
The swOetly lingering music dies.
As some bright islands of the sea,
Forever blooming, ever fair,
Though cold dark hillows round 1t be,
Eternal sunshine hovers there;
Thus DER the silent sea of years.
Our eager longing looks ale cast,
When rsbed in fadeless spring appears
The sunlit Eden of the past.
There memory waves her garlands green
Beside the lone hope-haunted shore;
And musing mid the Acadian scene.
Twires flowers that bloom for us no more
oh, hallowed CLINE! blest land OF love!
Sweet paradise of earthly dreams!
Still through thy vale may fancy rove'
Still bask beneath thy evening beams.
And there they dwell--those cherished ones
With snow-white brows and waving hair
Y see them now--I hear their tones
OF sweetness sigh along the air.
Hark! how their silvery voices ring
In cadence with the winds low s'gh'
Not sweeter is the wind harPs string
That wakes at eve its melody.
They call ms; see. they wave then hands,
AS BIZ the mirage lifted high,
That cline in all its beauty stands,
Against the forehead Of the sky;
With wreathed brows--with laugh and SONG
With tender looks--hand clasped in hane
They move along,that love- linked throns-
within the haunted sunset land.

Jas. Cochran, W. II. Bachelor, C. Mueller Jno

r. S. Baker, W. Ferguson, Reuben Pearce, J. C
Mason. But little business will be before them
other than the cases of Chiuamen lodged in jai
within the past two weeks. 1t is to be hopeC
that no other indictments will be made, although
big batch is hinted at. The grand jury system
has already been a curse to the county, and
most prolific cause of our present indebtedness
The cases of law-defers of the sporting' and
"tral'' fraternity, can be settled at any time in
Justices Court, and avoid the heavy expense
arising from indictment by the grand jury, and
attendant COSTS We trust the grand jury will
do their work speedily, believing that by so ac-
ting they will benefit the best Interests of the
county.

GREELEY, in one of his letters to the Tribune,
thinks that " fruit is destined to be the ultimate
glory of California" and asserts that no where
else on earth is it produced so readily or beauti-
fully. His remarks were induced after viewing
the pear, peach, apricot and nectarine yield of
San Jose valley. The writer had but little op-
portunity of knowing the amount Of fruit grown
in many of The mountain valleys of this State.
We venture to assert that no finer apples are
grown anywhere than have been raised the past
season in Trinity county. Mr.. c. B. Eastman,
living on Trinity river, four or five miles above
Lewiston, has gathered from trees of three or
four years growth, quantities Of the largest and
choicest apples, so said by one capable Of judg-
ing. At Dungey's garden, in this place. several
trees set out three years ago, were loaded with
winter fruit. In three years more Trinity will
produce all the fruit required for home consump.
