town and vicinity, who are very numerous,
'are raising funds for the purpose of erecting
"a hall to be used for the meetings of their
temperance society, singing and spelling

vices. They have enough subscribed already
TO warrant them in contracting for the erec-
tion of a commodious building, which will
be located on the old Sebastopol road, just
below town. Like the rest of our popula-

A BATCH OF Low-cULL ITEMs.-During the
past week nine wagon loads of liquors were
brought into town, each load weighing from
nineteen to twenty-eight hundred. During
the same period there were several personal
conflicts, otherwise called fights, which re-
suited in discolored optics and peeled olfac-
tories. Put this and that together.
The last Sabbath was celebrated by por-
tion of the community in a novel and excl
Ting manner. A dog fight came off, and
was witnessed by large and respectable
audience. The canine combattants fought
long and hard, as if they had regulations to
sustain. One of them had been victor in
seventy odd fights, but did not prove vic
tor in this.

How TO CREATE MARKET.--Farmers
have overdone the business this year. and
produced such an immense crop of wheat
that they will be forced to invent new dishes
out of breadstufiS TO rid the country of the
surplus. A suggestion made by friend
might remedy the evil for the future, if it
were acted upon. He says import cargoes
OF the fair sex, and marry them eff to the
thousands of bachelors scattered throughout
California. This, as a natural consequence,
would give new moaths to feed, and--thc
babies, next year they would require feeding
too. What do political economists say to

NEW LAKE IN AFRIcA.-We notice in the
London Times letter from Dr. Livingstone
the African explorer. He was well, and
had discovered another lake, much larger
than N'gami. 1t is called Shirwa, is twenty
or thirty miles wide and fifty or sixty long,
and is surrounded on all sides by green
mountains six thousand feet high, the lake
itself being two thousand feet above the sea.

RE- McCue's opposition stage to Marys-
willie makes semi-weekly trips only, until the
roads become easier. 1t is well patronized.
The old line carries passengers for one dol
Tar, but McCde receives his regular three dol
lars down and forr up. With opposition
steamers on the rivers, the Dasha1cay having
been put on this week, a trip to San Fran
cisco is cheap luxury. Two bits was the

combination boat, and it will probably be
as low as that both ways, on the days of
the Dashamays trips, for some time.

PUBLIC LANDS IN CALIFORNIA Some highly
interesting information has been furnished
the Bulletin by j. W. Vaudeville, U. S. Sur
yeyor General of this State, relative to the
public lands in California In an article
based on this information, that journal states
that the total number of acres Of public
land surveyed to this date is 24,539, 542-
The number of private ranchos surveyed to
date, after confirmation is 227. The appre-
gate area of the same is 4,067.64 acres.
From this single statement something like a
correct estimate may be formed of the enor-
NOUS dimensions of private landed estates
in California. The average extent of each
OF these confirmed and surveyed grants is
1920 acres, equal to III good sized farms
in the new States of the Mississippi valley,
of l60 acres each.
The total number of private grants that
have been presented to the public tribunals
IS stated at 82l, of which about 900 are now
IN various stages of litigation. 1t is esti-
mated that out of these GOO pending and
undetermined cases, 500 will be confirmed
comprising an estimated area of of s, $50. 900
The aggregate quantity claimed in the S2l
cases filed, is l4,7l2 ,358 acres and the es-
timatcd quantity embraced within the III
grants already confirmed, and expected to
be so, is l3,8i6,l5S acres. The e timated
area ofCalitornia, including all interior bays,
lakes and rivers, is 9,4G5, $50 acres thus
leaving residue of public lands of $685.
522 acres. The total area of the public
lands surveyed, according to the last annual
report, is 2l,000, 900 acres; and the agrre-
gate cost of Saryey amounts to 81 $50 900
equal to live cents per acre. The total
amount OF lands reserved and donated to
the State for educational and other pur-
poses, is 100000 acres.

The DUEL.-The news flashed
along the wires on Monday that the
Hon. David G. Broderick and Judge
David S. Terry had met in mortal
combat on the field of honor and that
the latter had fallen. The news was
received as true. and many men of all
parties looked sorrowful and express
ed their deep regret at the occurrence.
Their sorrow was turned to gladness
few hours later when the report was
contradicted, and the information
given that the parties we:e put under
arrest. The next day, on Tuesday.
another report which proved too true
came by telegraph that the combat
tants had met and Broderick fallen
pierced through The right lung by a
ball from the pistol of his antagonist.
The wound was stated to be mortal.
Numbers of our citizens assembled in
knots in the streets to give vent to
their sorrow and discuss the great
loss they had sustained. If anything
were wanting heretofore to demons
strate the warm bold David q. Brod-
erick has upon the public heart, The
demonstration here on the arrival of
the report that he had fallen, perhaps,
to rise no more, was enough. We
noticed many an eye moistened and
many quiver;ng lip in the solemn
groups collected here and there in
our streets. Among the best citizens
general impression prevailed that a
foul wrong had been perpetrated and
that a man on whom were centered
many hopes had been cut down, to
the great loss of the country. Who
is there now left to stem the tide of
corruption which is sweeping over the
land!-was the earnest enquiry every
intelligent mind asked Of itself Is
there another lion-hearted champion
of the right, to brave the ips"lence of
power and dare to 81 IT. rs truth
and justice ? Thelleye rarl the
country over, in despair frr ~. .
swer. Not one among all the oi po-
sers of the presen Administration
could be found to unite his boldness,
will, energy, and sagacity. OF the
anti>Lecompton party in California
he was the acknowledged head. He
was more-the soul of the whole
'he life giving principle. No wonder
tben that his parilsans should feel his
loss like that of father. They were
left without counsellor or guide
Symp ally too, for his trials had we'd
ded their hearts to David G. Broder-
ick. They saw IN him the poor son
of an artisan. an orphan without
relative in the wide world-the last
of his race. and he hunted by the
myrmidons of power. They saw the
unaided child struggling against ad-
versity, gaining by tile force of his
own iudomitable energy competen-
cy for himself. They witnessed his
battles for honors with the more ia
vored sons of wealth and rank, and
felt his cause their own. And when
he won the goal of his ambition they
rcjoiced, for one of the people-a
true type of the people-had become
their representative and chosen chief.
1t could not be otherwise than that a
general sorrow should overspread the
public when the unbidden news ar
rived that one for whom the deepest
sympathies were enlisted and highest
hopes indulgcd, had fallen in the full
vigor of manhood and when glori>
Gus career of honor and usefulness
were just opened.
