Weather, Markets, &c.

Rather rainy for comfort. On Monday
night and Tuesday morning terrible fall of
water came along. Charles Watkins from
Farmersburg, with his brother "Jim" just
returned from three years ramble in the
gold regions of the Pacific coast, tells us
that the wheat already cut is in bad shape
and that uncut is badly down. The weather
is cool and this is good but succession
of warm, damp days will be fatal to grain
and to business.
Trade dull. Prices closely marked in
Benton's report.

Some editor, we forgot who, says the
TINES is abusing the Fenians. We tell the
Fenians the truth only others may blair
ney them oil they want to, bat We have
been too long from the sod to indulge in
the fattery usually attributed to our blood
relations. The less confidence the Irish
put in those who talk pretty to them the
better. Ireland is no more sacred to US
than any other island. Americans are
made up of all sorts of blood and farm

We acknowledge the receipt of a COM
munication addressed to "a. p. Richardson
and Willis Drummond," requesting ces-
sation of newspaper personalities. As the
TINES, its editors and warmest friends of
both parties have, since its establishment,
deplored and condemned the course of
city opponent on this very point, we are
delighted that the friends Of our cotempo-
rary are generous enough to put on paper
what has been common talk for the pas,
three years. OF the Fourteen names at.
tached to this letter or manuscript circu.
lar, thirteen are REPUBLICANS. Judge
Baugh signed it to take the curse of a
square party reproach from the shoulders
of the Nescs editor. When leading, active
gentlemen of the Republican party thus
unanimously condemn one who aspires to
DO their organ, it will probably teach him
that attacks on Stoneman, Andrick and
other citizens, are not very highly appre-
ciatcd by McGregor community!

VEGETABLES AND TAsLE FRUIT--Some of the
Hnest and earliest gardens in the State of Cafor-
MIA located in the valley at the head of which
stands Oroville. Every description of fruit and
vegetable required for table use is cheaply and
abundantly grown. The soil and climate is well
calculated for this purpose, and the canal Of the
Feather River and Ophir Water Company can fur
nish facilities for irrigation. and doubtless would
do 50 on favorable terms From their reservoirs on
the bluff water can be conveyed to any point de-
sired. The valley enclosed by the bulf on one side
and the river on the other, does not contain less
than four thousand acres of good productive soil,
capable of producing every variety of fruit and
vegetable demanded in the market. The advanta-
ges of this locality for the prosecution of this
branch of industry, may be found in its proximity
to markets afforded by the mountain towns and
mining localities TO the north and east of which
always afford the best market in the world. and
be supplied from this point cheaper and more ex-
peditousy than from localities farther down in the
valley. There is not day during the season that
mountain roads are open for teams, but what those
engaged in hauling vegetables into the mountains,
would apply for them, if they could be furnished
here. And it only needs the attention of those who
desire lucrative business, and who would build up
for themselves pleasant and a reeable homes. Let
those in want of business employment try it, in
ing excitement, and they will be agreeably sur
prised to how soon they will become prosperous
contented and happy. ~

There is not of ground for miles around

town, and by the surface diggings, formerly

cheria Diggings, some three miles below Orovie
are still being successfully worked. The opposite
bank of the river, for miles in width and length is
filed with the precious metal, and water conveyed
by canals over thousands of acres, is sold at the
low price of one bit an inch. Sink shaft or run

SILVER EXCITEMENT AT CHERoKEE.-A letter
! from Cherokee Flat in this county, from reliable
gentleman under date of the 24th instant. says a
great silver excitement has broken out at that
place and immense silver leads were located yes
terday and last night, and all day to-day crowds
were rushing to the new Ell Dorado Cherokee is
one OF the richest mineral districts in the world,
and there is nothing surprising in the fact that sill
ser leads have been discovered there. 1t has been
established beyond controversy that Cherokee Flat
has produced genuine diamonds, and why not sill
well gold? The great drawback to
the development of that locality is the want of
ter 1t is situated that water cannot be brought
into the district, except at considerable expense.
The small amount afforded by the mountain gulcbes
and gathered into reservoirs during the rainy
sen, has been barely sufficient to enable few
claims to be successfully worked, and to prospect
sufficiently to show that the location rich in
aurferous deposi is. May the discovery silver give
sn impetus to the mineral operations of that sec
tion that will the construction Of a canal to
furnish supply of water. The great extent and
depth OF the mineral deposits would enable mining
to be successfully prosecuted in that vicinity for
the next century.

Orovilie. on Friday of last week. Service was held
in the Bnsck Church at night. Rev. Mr.. Messenger
read service. The Bishop baptized one child, and
preached good gospel sermon. The audience was
rather larger than ordinary, an d seemed much
pleased with the first introduction to the Bishop.
At Marysville. he preached in St. Johns Church
Saturday night, and Sunday morning and night,
Revs. Messrs- McAlster and Messenger assisting
in the services. On Sunday evening, after the SER
mon, the Bishop confirmed nine persons, two of
whom were from Oroville. After addressing the
recently confirmed, the Bishop desired the congre-
cation TO unite in silent prayer for them, which
made the service, thus closed, particularly solemn.
