Fruit in California.

Fruits are becoming rapidly cheaper
Peaches, two inches through, are selling five
and six for bit-the price falling not less
than fifty per cent. every year. Apples and
grapes are not yet abundant in the market,
so we do not yet know how cheap they will
be. Apples two inches through are now
worth bit (dime) apiece. The high value
of fruit and the Importance of getting it I'M
bruised, has suggested the following inven-
ton, descibed by the San Jose Telegraph !:
George Evans, of San Jose, has invented
a very useful instrument for picking fruit
from the high branches. 1t consists of long
pole made of some light wood along the face
of which j heavy wire extends, and is kept
in It's place by iron fistenngs. The wire at
the end Of tho polls connects with two strips
of iron, which are made to open or close by
pushing up or pulling down the wire, like
the opening or closing of pair of scissors,
At the end Of each strip of iron is the half Of
a ball OF BASKET. made of wire, which, when
closed looks like q gioba. On pushing up
the wire, the globe is made To oponi and the
ample or pear is received into it, and then b.
drawing the wire The two halves of the bal!
close together, having the fruit within it,

that the canals have seen their paimiest days

reaches this loomy conclusion, is that pow.

Times gays. the illustration is a very good
one. and when the editor shows that the tel
egraph has rendered the mail.bags useless,
or that express companies have ruined the
railroads, We shall be prepared to agree
with him that the railroads of New York
have killed their canal. There Is no road
in the country better prepared to carry
all the freight that offers than the New York
Central. But during the past year, along
the line ri that admirably arranged carrier.

was engaged in constructing the mauutacto-
ries of dock pulleys. While very young, he
was sent to France, where he was Il student
in the College of Caeu. and on his return
from lS2G. he was employed in the opening
of the Thames tunnel The irruptons of
the water caused him to run more than one
risk, especially i'll ISIS, when over SIX hun
dred feet of water broke through the open

the current, and east safe and sound upon

Though not one of the three great fcsti-
walls on which the male Israelites are re.
quircd to appear in the Temple, il is never
theless considered as among the first of the
holy days. While the Jews d. not consider
that the destiny Of man is on other days less
subject to the control OF Providence, they
hold that on Rosh Hasaaaa the absolute
consequences OF mans actions and the tate
OF nations are mrted out and weighed.
One Of the peculiar rites of this festival is
the blowing of trumpets, which is strictly
observed, and the hearing of its sound is

Undarshoes for Horses.

Many attempts have been made tn shoe
horses without the continual driving of nails

New Bed of Oysters Discovered.

The New York papers say that last week
party Of oystermcn while up Long Island
Sound, accidentally discovered an oyster bed
of Eaton's Neck, Long Island, about orpo-
site Norwalk, Conn, which, upon examlna'
ton, proved to he at least three miles in
length by two in breadth, the he'd being al
least foot thick, and composed Of the lar,
gest East Rivers ever seen in this market.
The discoveries swore each other TO secrecy,
and resolved to make their fortunes; but one
of the party. going among the oystermen Of
CITY Island, basely betrayed the secret ior
$500. The result has been that over two
hundred vessels have been at work on tn"
bank. fishing up the bivaives. and planting
them for market purposes. On Monday last
a sreamtug went NJ. and in few hours
landed over five hundred bushels at Rocky
Point, Long Island, which, for quality and
size. are said to surpass ANYTHING that ever
came from Virginia waters" 1t is further
stated that the bed is worth over million o'
dollars.
