PERsoNAL.-By the next steamer fol
the Atlantic States, David Bovyer, Esq.
leaves on a visit to his friends, after near
ly eleven years absence. Mr.. Bovyer
sailed from Boston in the ship Everett,
the pioneer ship that ploushed the wa
tcrs of Cape Horn, with passengers, af-
ter the discovery of gold in California
He arrived in San Francisco in July
1S49, and in August 1S49, came to this
county. probably the earliest white set
tier here, although at that time there
were neither state or county distinction
here. He settled at Jones Bar, and
was for years the Government agent for
the Indians of this region. Mr.. Bovyer
immediately engaged in extensive min,
ing and farming operations. as we'll as
merchandising, and at one time had
three stores in operation.
He was one of the first to discov-
er the great necessity aud benefits OF
ditching operations, and with all the en-
ergies of his nature, embarked in that
branch of business. and SO successfully
and vigorously that at his departure he
is the owner of one-hundred miles oi
bitches in this county, most of the ditch
es being of large capacity, and having
first rights to water. Mr.. Bovyer by
his industry, intelligence and energy
and by long and consistent course Of
honorable dealing, raised himself to the
rank of one of our wealthiest men, hav-
ing the esteem and warm regard of the
entire community lie is one of those
men that the exigencies of California
life call out SO effectually, giving them
full scope for enterprise and achieve
ment. We are glad to learn that Mr.
Bovyer's absence from the State is in
tended to be but temporary and shall be
pleased to W elcome him back amongst
us, we trust with an available partner OF
his fortunes. A few such men in COM
munity do more to call out its resources
and wiring fortunes from stubborn diff
culties, that thousand of those who
querulously complain of hard times, and
lis.lessly wait year after year for them
to improve.

CROSSING NIAGARA on A ROPE
About the same time, certainly on the
same day that the great balloon was
passing Niagara on its voyage from St.
Louis to Jefferson County New York,
NJ. Emile Blondin, daring Frenchman
crossed the chasm below Niagara Falls
on rope. 1t is perhaps the most won
derful exploit in the history of the world.
The distance across the river is little
more than 1,l00 feet, and the rope was
$50 feet above the boiling torrent of
water below. The rope was thrown
across half way between the Falls and
the Suspension Bridge. Monsieur Blon-
din performed the perilous feat in nine-
teen minutes, stopping once or twice to
rest himself. Once he let down little
cord and drew up bottle of wine from
the steamer Maid of the Mist" passing
beneath, uncorked it, drank, and threw
the bottle into the river and proceeded.
He crossed and re.crossed the chasm
and was then borne in triumph through
the streets. About 10000 persons are
represented to have been present. The
rope was three and quarter inches in
diameter, and was steadied by side ropes
eighteen feet apartrunning to the shores
or fastened to huge rocks by the side of
the torrent. The main rope, sagged 60
feet from a straight line, so that NJ.
Blondin had to walk up and down hill
all the way.
NJ. Blondin is SO years of age, is
about 5 feet s inches in height and
weighs 142 pounds. His exploit will be
remembered while the cataract of Mag
ara endures.

FROM PIKE's PEAK.-H w. Vanleu-
ven, for three years a resident of this city,
has just crossed the plains from Pixies
Peak. His statements respecting the
diggings there and the emigration over
the plains this year, are so much at va
rance with those of Horace Greeley,
and in some respects. with the general
impression, that we are forced to make
a note of them.
Mr.. V. is an old and experienced
miner of this country and ought to know
something of gold diggings- enough
of the sailing process" at least, not to
be taken in, He arrived at Pixies Peak
on the 9th of February last and pros
pected to the head waters of the Platte
and Arkansas rivers, occupying in COM
pany with fifteen others three months
in his operations. The "color" was to
be found almost everywhere, but in no
place did the metal abound in quantities
to pay.
Mr.. v. is acquainted with the diggings
which Horace Greeley certifies are pay
ing ones, and expresses his positive con-
viction that the "white coated philoso-
phor" and many others have been wo.
fully sold. He declares the best Dig
gings at the Peak have never averaged
moro than two bits day to the hand -
He also takes issue with Greeley, and
combats the opinion that the emigration
this year will reach 10000. Greeley
passed the emigration to Pixies Peak on
his way there in stage, and saw thou
sands who have turned back. Five
hundred wagons, on learning of the
state of affairs at the Peak, turned about
in one place. TIE emigration, with the
exception of portion of the OK teams,
was ahead of Mr. Vanleuven on his way
in, and he does not rate the number of
souls coming to California,via the plains,
at more than two thousand. There is
quite discrepancy between two and
thirty thousand A few weeks will de
monstrate which figure is nearest the
truth.

PEACHES ExTRA.-To the politeness
Of F. ]. Dunn Esq, we are indebted for
a FAC basket of peaches from Simpson, s
Ranch on the Yuba near Marysville.
The peaches are mixture of grated
fruit and Seeding in which the former
make a sorry appearance in point of
size or flavor. Some of the seedlings
are 81 inches in diameter and are truly
fine. They grew on trees two years of
age which at the suggestion of Mr..
Dunn were left ungrafted. Some of the
trees bore this year half bushel of fine
fruit each. If this basket is a criterion
the argument is in favor of Seeding
fruit.
The depot for Simpsons fruit is at
Baruhs, Commercial Street.

Identified with the business department
of the Journal for about six years, and
by his intelligent exertions and popu-
!arity has largely aided in building up
the paper upon a firm basis. SO that to-
day it is one of the most widely circula-
ted and profitable papers in the interior
Of the State. As an illustration of the
enterprise of Mr.. Brown in connection
with the paper, it may be mentioned
that in the disastrous fire of 1856, which
laid waste our whole town, and reduced
many of our first citizens to ruin, the
JOURNAL office was completely destroy
ed-not type being left, or press, OF
shred of paper. The office was COM
pletely annihilated. Mr.. Brown was at
that time OH visit to San Francisco
Learning from the earliest telegraph l.
news dispatches that The town was de.
stro yed, including the newspaper offices
without waiting to hear the particulars
or the intentions of his partners, he i'm.
mediately contracted for new and bet
fer Office than the one destroyed and
had it packed up for Nevada; and by
the time one of his partners, who left
Nevada the morning after the fire, reach
ed San Francisco, the bulk of the ma.
terials were on :heir way to Nevada
By his promptness the publication of the
paper was interrupted by the fire but
two weeks, and in less than two months
the losses by the fire were made good
by the profits of the new Office.
Upon personal as well as business
grounds we regret Mr.. Browns with.
drawal from the office. The step is ta-
ken in view Of an intended return to the
Atlantic States in few months
Wherever Mr.. Browns future lot may
be cast he has our best wishes for bis
prosperity; and we doubt not that the
same qualities of head and heart that
have won success here, and made him
hundreds of warm personal friends. will
achieve like results wherever he may
engage in the battle of life.
