FROM THE SoUTH.-The Los Angeles
News, of late date, has the following
items:
We understand that rust has appeared in
the wheat ia some portions Of the county,
and smut has also been observed in some
fields. In no previous year has the crop
given better indications Of an abundant
yield than at the commencement of the pre-
sent season.
All classes of fruit will be unusu ally slow
and backward this season; owing to the
continued cold and rainy weather. Apri-
cots have not yet made their appearance in
market. There will, we learn, be a short
crop Of pears, but the peach crop will be
abundant. The grape crop this year will
be large.
Mr.. J. H. Holister, of this county, shear
cd thirty thousand pounds of wool from
five thousand sheep; a small portion only
Of bis celebrated Spanish MerinO flock. Ten
thousand pounds we're shorn from one thou
sand bucks belonging to the same flock.
We learn that General Andres Pico is
persevering in bis preparations to take the
field against the Ovens river Indians. He
will have no trouble in raising the force re-
quired to quelI the Indian troubles, if bis
offer is accepted by the Governor of the
State.

The MINES IN SIsKIYoU.-The news from
the different mining localities Of the county,
are OF the most cheering nature. At no sea
son within the past three years, has the yield
Of gold been equal to that Of the present spring.
Gold dust TO the amount Of about seventy-fye
thousand dollars per week, is now exchanged
for coin, in this town. When we take into
consideration the fact that there are, compare
lively, but few miners at work in this county.
at present, it will be seen that the yield Of dust
is unusually large. At Orc Fino, Humbus.
Scott river, Cherry creek, and in fact, every
mining section in the county, where they are al
work, all are doing well. The mines are here.
and there is no Salmon or Powder river proba-
biity about their paying. All they want is
work. Yreka Union.

Rn aLn eOuPLE.

Il stanas IN 9 sunny msad0W,
Tha kauso 80 uosay and brOwn,
via lie eumhFous Old store ehinneys;
Aud the graf fOOf slOPing down.
The tfses fold their green arms around it,
The trees q century old
And the winds 90 chanting through them,
Aud the sunbeams drop their gold
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses spring on the hill;
And beside the brook In the pastures
The herds 60 feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them,
They sit in the sun alone
And the old wife's ears are failing,
AZ she harks to the well known tone
That won her heart in girlhood,
That has sOothed her in many care,
And praiAes her MOTT for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again Of her bridal
How, dressed in a robe Of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
oh, the morning iS rosy as ever,
Hut the rose from her cheek is fed,
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls OH a sIlycred head.
And the girlhoOd dreams once vanished,
Come back in the winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill Of spring times prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since, clad In her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door stone.
Though dimined her ewes bright azure,
And dimmed her hairs young gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown din nor old.

They eat in peace in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done;
And then, at its close, an angel

He f5lIeS their hands together
He touched their eYehdS with BALM;
And tAeiE last breath foated upward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like the bridal pair, they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads tn the beautiful city,
Whose builder and maker is Cod
Perhaps, in that miracle country,
They will give her last youth back,
And the flowers Of u vanished spring time
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draugh' from the living waters
Shall call back his manhoOd's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outlived time.
But the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Matte huiy to us by the kisses
The angel had printed there.
We will hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low IN the wCStS
Where the sunbcams cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And we'll suffer no tcll-tale tombstone,
With its age and date, to rise,
Der the two who are old no longer,
In the Fathers house in the skies.
