Our Northern Fair.

at our next Fair, bigger display, in every
respect, than that which was made in 1883,
when the whole State pretended to hold a
grand state Fair" in our city. Our section
of country has the resources, and they will
pour forth their supplies upon the occasion.
Yuba and the whole tier Of Northern coun
ties are not to be surpassed in the raising of
cattle, 10y any quarter of the State Some Of
the finest breeds of horses, too, are in this
section For sheep. swine and poultry, the
North is equal to any region in California.
Extensive farms, bountiful vineyards, fruitful
orchards, magnificent gardens,-we have
them all.
In the way of agricultural implements,
northern invention has been more than ordi-
narily busy and the Fair will display some Of
the most valuable of improvements in this
line
With regard to miscellaneous manufactures.
our wagon makers, our saddle and harness
makers, our brickmakers, our manufacturers
of lumber, our makers of furniture, our stone.
cutters, our blacksmiths and silversmiths and
goldsmiths, our hat and cap manufacturers,
our boot and shoe manufacturers, our potters
our carpenters &c, DC. are in the front rank
in the field of such labors, and the people
/ will see it at the District Fair.
As for the raising of grain, no county in the
State can surpass ours nor can many other
counties be surpassed in the same line north
and west of us.
In the making of native wines, we think
our friend Covillaud and one or two others
are far beyond all competitors in the State,
and we will not except the Sansevain Broth
ers or any body else. The wine made by c.
! Coyilaud, we have tested, and we defy the
world to produce better article It's pure,
and after the old style-no humbug decoc-
! tion.
As for fruits and flowers, let the South
boast of her richness and her splendor, but
our fertile North wild not WELD her the palm,
except it may be in the matter of extensive
ness. So far as our grounds have been de-
voted to this species of culture, we defy any
quarter of the earth to throw US into the
shade
In the matter of mining implements and
mining inventions, no section of the country
has equaled Northern California This sec
tion, We may confidently say, has done more
for the facilitating of mining operations by
means of its inventions and improvements,
than the whole State put together. Hydraulic
mining had its origin here, and SO had the
greatest Improvement yet made in the bust
ness of sucing All of which will be duly
demonstrated at the District Fair
As for mining products, themselves, where
can you find richer mines than in the north
We would direct the especial attention of
the public to the Premium List in another
portion of the paper a careful reading of it
will suggest to almost every individual some
eXertion which he or she may make for the
credit and honor of this region of the State.
DUEL IL MARYLAND-Mr Thomas Bryan
and MIR. Samuel Neal, both of New York
city, fought a duel with pistols, recently, in
Maryland, the affair resulting in Mr.. Meals
being shot in the left arm. The cause of the
quarrel grew out of heated discussion be-
tween the parties respecting the nationality
of the Italian patriot Garibaldi. A difference
of opinion on this point led to words, and
then to a blow from Mr. Neal, and subse-
quent challenge from Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan
is between sixty and seventy years of age,
and Mr.. Neal only few years younger.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATE AND ALTA
TELEGRAPH LINEs-A consolidation has been
effected, says the S. F. Alta, between the
State and Alta telegraph lines, and the insti-
tuition will be hencetorth known as the Cali !
fornia State Telegraph line. The Alta line
was closed by an injunction to prevent their
using the Morse telegraphie instruments in
the Transmission of messages. The consolida-
ton line is to be under the superintendent
of James Gamble, Esq, whose energy and
ability as thorough telegraph operator are
widely known, and whose services in estab.
fishing telegraphic communication with the
principal places of the State, are properly
appreciated by the public All the lines will
now be worked, affording increased facilities
to the business community. Under the new
arrangements, newspaper dispatches may be
sent over one line, whilst private dispatches
are being transmitted over the other.
