SILVER GREY FOXES AND WHITE RABBITS
lchabod V. Withey, an old hunter and trap
per in the Sierras, was in Red Bluff Tuesday,
says the Beacon, with lot of rare furs,
among which were several fox skins, resem.
bling in almost every particular the descrip-
tions given in Natural History of the Silver
Gray Fox, the skin of which is so much
priced and highly valued for the beauty and
fineness of its fur He had, also, in his col
lection, the skin of n singular species of rab-
bit, the hind legs of which were nearly
foot, while the fore legs were not more than
three inches long the animal being perfectly
white all over. These animals are found only
among the SHOWS, high up in the mountains,
where they are very abundant. The rabbits
being always found in focks or droyes, and
being so near the color of the snow, are often
passed by travellers, without being discovered.

absence of those from the South to do this

observe this retrograde movement from free
trade, when all other countries are, on the
contrary, advancing towards liberty of COM

OAK KNOLL ASPARAGUS. -Savory d. Co., in
the Washington Market, San Francisco, says
the Alta, appear to have monopolzed this
vegetable, which is exceedingly rare in its
delicious flavor. The Napa soil has certainly
developed one of the twenty six species of
asparagus into the best edible known to the
table of the epicure. This vegetable has
been cultivated from the time of the ancient
Greeks. 1t reaches rare luxuriance and
favor, without forcing. in the climate of Cal
ifornia. A sea. plant, it thrives splendidly,
giving large yield in Alameda, but not there
equaling the peculiar flavor of the Napa grass,
