proper size and due graduation of length.
This natural curiosity was produced ON hi a

FREIGHT FOR THE MoUNTAINs.-We have,
in several instances, had occasion to notice
the large amount of freight that passed up
the country by the Woods Crossing road,
and have frequently alluded to the many ad-
vantages that would accrue to mountain and
valley traders could they be induced to
shorten the distance between their respective
places, by improving the routes travelled.
The construction of railroad from Marys-
vile or Sacramento to the foot hills can and
will be accomplished if parties interested
AS convincing proof of the feasibility of
such project, they have only to travel over
the route from this place to Marysville. The
conviction that it will not be remuneratve
can be dispelled by glance at the following
figures, furnished by Messrs. Chambers and
Warts, of the Way-side Spring:
"The number of teams that have passed
our place, in seven days from the 10Th to
the 18th of August inclusive, is 1872; total
duount OF Irelgnl, ool,oo pounuS mere
was of merchandise, 35l,l37 pounds; bar
ley, 6o,4oo; hay, 94,7o0 fruits and vege
tables, 45,30O.
The above does not include stages and
passenger wagons. The teams all passed up,
we kept no account of down teams"
Taking these figures as basis, the amount
of merchandise that would pass over this
route alone in 365 days, would be s,279, 1924
pounds and placing the cost of carriage at
one cent per pound, it would amount to
$751; 799.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE AND THE LAw-The
Springfield, (Mass.,) Republican, thus dis
courses on Sunday laws:
ave have no doubt that the conservation
of one day in seven to rest from labor and
to religious culture IS a wise and beneficent
arrangement, and whether it is positively
commanded or not by Christianity, the keep
ing of the day is personal and public ben
eft. 1t is quite likely that our most relig-
ious people err by sacrificing the proper rest
of the day to an excess of religious work,
and it may we'll be questioned whether GO
ing to church three times during the day does
not break the Sabbath quite as effectually
as staying away from church altogether"
