Dragging of q strength which they have not,

every township and in every county in the

that Ohio is safe for the Little Giant We tell
you the masses are moving. From East and
West and North and South-fom the green
mountains of Vermont to the fragrant savan-

borne by the lightning train and flashed along
the magnetic wires, that the people are rising

THE CULTURIsT.-We are glad to receive
this excellent periodical again among our
exchanges, and to note its increased circula-
tion. 1t now has a subscription list of
more than nineteen hundred The travelling
agent, Mr.. Morse, informs US that between
forty and fifty copies are taken in North San
Juan, sixty or more in Nevada, and about
one hundred and twenty in Grass Valley
Do not these figures prove that the noun
tains take deep interest in soil culture?

RECENT MINERAL DiscovER1Es.-Califor
ans are easily attracted abroad by reports oi
the discovery of precious metals, bat daily
findings within our own borders do not much
excite them. During the last four weeks,
new quicksilver mines have been found in
two localities in Santa Clara county and at
one in Napa county; tin has also been dis
covered at st. Helena, making the second
finding of that useful metal in the State
rich gold quartz veins and placer diggings
have been struck in several portions of Ne-
vada, Placer, Yuba, Amador and other coun-
ties; silver has been found in Santa Cruz
and Mariposa; iron in Nevada and Placer,
and coal in Contra Costa. Will not fortune
hunters take from these facts hint to pros
ecute assiduous search at home? If they
must have metallic wealth and none other,
let them seek it at their own doors, where
they will be most apt to find it.
