Every farmer in this County has dis
posed of as little grain as was absolutely
necessary, and many of them have yet
got OH hand all of this years crop. Ow-
ing to the difficulty of shipping grain this
fall, our merchants have more on hand
than has been shipped away this present
year.-Hudson North Star.

Averaging the wheat at 81 cents per
busheI, the oats at l8, the potatoes at 90,
cr"Aberries at a $3.50, barley 80, and
ilour at $500 per barrel, we have the
snug httle sum Of S23 682,48, which will
be likely to place our farmers in "good
condition for winter.
Our grain dealers hayo experienced
much difficulty in getting their grain
shipped, on account Of low water. Had
It not been for this, nearly double the
above amount would have been shipped
below. The most of of our storehouses
are. full and will remain so~until spring,

REMARKABLE.-We learn from q GENTLE
man, well acquainted with the facts, that
some time in March last an old gentleman,
residing for many years in Davie, was sitting
in his house, few feet from an open window
when bird flew in aud alighted on his
shoulder. He kept his seat, but called to his
daughter, who was in an adjoining room, to
come quickly. She came in and pointing at
the bird, he told her to take it off and put il
in cage, and take care of it as long as it
lived. She gently lifted the bird off and
Gagged it as directed. her father remarking to
her at the same time, "My race is nearly
over; | shall die in two weeks" He was
then in ordinary health but, strange to say.
he died that day two weeks. The bird is
yet in its cage in the possession of the family
who regard it with feelings of peculiar sad
ness.-SdIisbwy (N C) Watchman

Is THE WORLD UNGRATEFUL-THE FRIENDS
OF NJ. LAMARTINE THINK IT Is.-We are utter.
ly disgusted with the self laudation which
some of our second class great men are in the
habit of practicing; and we mean to expose
it, even though the task is distateful one
The vice is peculiarly, though not excu-
sively, French and is found among the sec
ond class of great men, but never am ong the
first, who are the real benefactors Of the
world.
Thomas Holloway, one of the latter, " hose
name is idolized in all parts of the world, and
to whom it is not too much to say that mil
lions of all ereeds and compilations are in
debted for the preservation of their lives
Thomas Holloway, we say, is never heard
appealing either to the gratitude or generos
ity of those have derived the greatest of all
! earthly blessings from his skill; he contents
himself with the assurance that his work has
been done, and that the price has been paid.
We have been led in to these reflections
by an appeal which is now put forward on
behalf of a second class French Poet Mon
sieur Alphonse Lamartine it seems, though
munifeently paid tor the productions of his
pen. neglected to lay up any sufficient store
for the suppors of his declining days. and
now his voice is raised against "the ingrati-
tude of the human race" The argument
which he produces TO strengthen his claim.
is one which should rather make him blush
for his extravaganza; he says that millions OF
his productions have been sold, and that
therefore the world is in his debit But
why? Was he not paid the price he asked
for every copy? Or does he think that it
sounds like common prose honesty to ask to
be paid twice over.
lie will answer, doubtless, that his poems
gave pleasure the value of which their
price could not approximate. Let us admit
this rule, and apply it to another case to test
its merits Health, we all know, is the chic
of earthly blessings; boon which must be
purchased, let the cost be what it may
blessing, to be blessed with which the sink
ing monarch would resign his kingdom
Suppose, then, that Holloway, instead o.
fixing such price on his remedies as would
afford him (when myriads were his custom
ers) fair and honorable profit, had appor
toned the price of his pills and ointment tc
the exigences of each case and the ability o.
the sufferer to pay for his physical salvation
7 Why in such case, the great physician
would long ago have owned all Europe in
fee simple, and three.fourths of the remain
der of the world-for the royalties and no
bilitias of Europe were among his earliest
patients, but are still too proud to acknowl
edge that they owe their lives to the sam'
simple but all sufficing remedies which have
been brought, by Holloway's philanthropy

EplToRIAL LIFE.-But few readers ever
think of the labor and care devolving upon
an editor-one who vastly feels his responsi-
bility. Capt. Marryatt says:
81 know how periodical will wear down
ones existence. In itself it appears nothing
the labor is not manifest nor is it in the la
Dor; it is the continual attention it requires
Your life becomes as it were, the publica-
ton. One days paper is no sooner corrected
and printed than on comes another 1t is the
stone of Sisyphus, an endless repetition Of
toll and constant weight upon the intellect
and spirits, and demanding all the exertions
of your faculties, at the same time you are
compelled to The severest drudgery. To write
for a paper is very WE'LL but to edit one is
to condemn yourself to slavery"

Mn. AND Mrs. SIcKLEs.-Mrs. II. O. c.
Hewett, Southern lady, formerly of Missis
sippi, is out with an elaborate defense of the
reconciliation of Mr. and Mrs. Sickles. We
give q specimen, as we find it in the Mer-
chants Record:
"And Mrs. Sichles, she may be blessing
to manyl Rahah, the worst of women mem
toned in sacred history, was saved, with all
her family, when the city of Jerico was taken,
and no ot er souls were saved--her faith and
good deeds justified her"
"There is more rejoicing in Heaven over
one sinner that repenteth than in the ninety
and nine that went not astray."
"Mrs. Sickles, though sold like poor little
Joseph, has it in her power to be deliverer
from evil, through grace, and a minister of
good to aching hearts and erring sisters
We should rejoice that one man, at lelst, has
dared to do fght-to return to his wife, and
an erring wife has preferred to take her own
husband in preference to those who would
gladly have her separated from him. in order
that they might try to get her The vomit.

SAN FRANoIsoo SENAroRsHP.-Some sur
prise is expressed relative to Gov. Weller's
delay in ordering a special election in San
Francisco, to fill the vacancy in the State
Senate, caused by the resignation of Gen.
Williams. A Sacramento correspondent of
San Francisco paper says:
As month or more has elapsed since the
resignation of Mr.. Williams was forwarded
to the Governor, the inference in warranted
that the latter declines to accept it, in the
hope that it will be Withdrawn. Mr. Wei
Ter, doubtless, fears that the vacancy may be
supplied by II Democrat favoring the preten
siOns Of one of his competitors for Mr. Brod
erick's place in the Senate of the United
States.
P. S.-Slnoe the above was in tyne. we
learn that the Governor has ordered an cleo
ton to take place in the Fifth Senatorial
District, composed of San Francisco and San
Mateo, on the 10th of December next for the
choice of a Senator in the place of c. II. s.
Williams.

FARMING IN THE MIDDLE CoUxTIEs. The
Stockton Argus remarks that the abundant
harvest through which the farmers of San
joaquin and adjoining counties have just
passed, seems to have encouraged them to
prepare for similar crops in 1860. The Argu.
adds:
In counties thickly settled with farming
population, there is very perceptible i'm
provement in the yearly quantity of grain
produced, which can beattributed to nothing
else than an advantage obtained by reason
of better Knowledge of the climate and
seasons, better cultivation, more iudicious
system of plowing and planting-mOre in ac-
cordance with the laws of nature-whereby
crops have been increased twenty, thirty and
forty per cent.

MORE STABBING AT Stockton. We'd
nesday evening young Italian, named Va
ehicha, was stabbed in Stockton by a coun-
tryman ofhis named Berdinaski. The wound
Is not dangerous On the following morning
as the Marshal of the city was hunting for
the Italian who had committed the assault
Above mentioned, he had occasion, says the
Republican, to arrest man named James
Fox, who started off with him, but on their
way to the lookup. Fox resisted Marshal
Terrill, throwing him down and choking him
severely, Mr.. t. being underneath. In this
position the Marshal drew a knife, the only
weapon he could get hold of, and inflicted
three stabs upon his opponent. The most
serious of the three was in the left side, be
low the ribs, and the other two were higher
up, an inch or two apart
The Republican adds that the wounded
man was taken to the County Hospital, and
that no hope is entertained of his recovery.
He is native of ireland, aged 26 years, and
emigrAted from New York to Texas, and from
the latter place to California.
