A Suggestinn.

We suggest that farmers carry their
moving machines, Of different pat
terms, horse rakes, and other imple-
ments; to their Town and County
Fairs this, fall. 1t would be of much
greater value to a farmer to inspect a
machine that has been tried than one
that has not. Besides many farmers
are SO situated that they do net read,
lily come In contact with such ma
chinery.. We should like to, see all
the different moving machines ar
ranged side by side, and listen to the
remarks of their owners in their favor,
at one of. our County Fairs We are
certain it would be an, attractive and
instructive feature of the Show. Let
the different kinds of horse pitchforks
be brought forward and put to the
trial. A State Fair might thus be
initiated by no means on a small scale
without any particular expense. 1t is
by comparison of these things that
we form correct judgment of what is
best adapted to our wants. 1t costs no
more in the end to have the bestimple-
ments of husbandry at our command.
We hope our suggestion will be car
ried out, so that, when we visit fair,
there will be a representation of every
kind of machine and continuance for
alternating the labors of the husband
man.-Mdine Farmer. os-f

T A MIGHrv HUNrER.-Andy Westover. well
known in this vicinity as a great hunter
arrived at his home in Suffer county the
other day from the head waters of the Sacra
mento in small boat, just large enough tc
contain himself and "traps" He was five
days in making the trip to his door-distance
Us miles and part of his ,urney was per
formed with great velocity, as he had to run
in his frail bark, swift and dangerous rapids
Westover has followed hunting for many
years. At the outbreak of the great rebel
lion he went East and enlisted in the Union
Sharpshooters. When peace was declared he
returned to California and again engaged in
| his old pursuits. He has returned to his
home at the tules, and is making prepara-
tions for an onslaught on the ducks and
geese abounding In that quarter-Appeal
The above is our thunder, and the name is
not spelled right either. Andy belongs to
us; his glory is our glory. His name is
Andrew Westervelt, and he is native Of
Wayne county, N. Y. He crossed the
Plains from Pike county, ILL.,, in company
of fifty -four, under the control of Mudd,
Mace, & Co., in 1850. Came to Shasta
county in February, 1851, with eight others
our present County Judge, Bush, being Of
the party. They all located at French Gulch,
where they engaged in mining operations, An
dy taking frequent play spells with his rife
From that time until he went East to join the
army, Andy has resided either at French
Gulch, Pittsburg or Churntown, in this
county. When Berdan issued call for
sharpshooters, Andy showed his hand, and
said to his friends: g Pm on it, if | had the
means to GO" The response of patriotic
hearts came in the shape of coin sufficient to
buy his outfit and pay his expenses to the
front. The recommendation of Judge Bush
quieted oil fears as to the reliability of the
man, and nobly did Andy redeem the trust.
He was mustered out at the close of the war.
and exhausted his pay in making his long
and expensive journey back. Our citizens
received him with open arms, and refunded
him the amount of his expenses home. True
he makes occasional winter raids upon the
small game of the vallies, but his home is in
Shasta county, where in the milder seasons
he can find game worthy of his attention.
While we are willing the State should claim
Andy, and the glory shed upon it by his skill
and daring, we are not willing to surrender
our title to him to any other county. Next
we know some of those down-the river fel.
lows viii be claiming California Joe. Better
look out down there. We are little jealous
of our title to such men.

SCHOOL MARMs.-The Wilmington N. c. J
Dispatch shows the spirit in which the recon-
structed communities receive the efforts made
to teach their ignorant masses:
The Southern land. it seems, will never
escape the wrath of the Almighty, leveled at
it because of the neglect to employ those
means which He had given, lack of appre-
citation of which caused the defeat that we
sustained in our effort to achieve independ-
ence.
Curse after curse, like those which descend
ed on the Egyptians, came spreading dismay
throughout our land. Military rule first,
Freedmen's Bureau insolence, Yankee i'm
pertinence, all have been upon us, and all
have been borne with very commendable
patience.
But the worst of all the curses which we
have been called upon to submit to, however,
is the insupportable, intolerable nuisance of
school marms in our midst, teaching the
infant '' idea how to shoot" We had hoped
that this pestiential race would give us the
go-by. We could stand anything else that
was sent. but when the benevolent societies
of Boston sent out emssaries we felt that we
should sink under this, the last, the worst of
all our punishments for criminal failure to
accomplish our own political salvation when
the means were at hand

FENIANs.-The Canadian authorities have
tried Colonel Lynch and Rev. Father Nc
Mahon, arrested at the time of the Fort
Erie raid, convicted them, and sentenced
them to death. Colonel Lynch is man
about sixty-eight years Of age, and AYERS
that he was not combattant at the time,
but was there simply as the correspondent
of the Louisville Journal. The Reverend
Father Mcmahon was there in discharge Of
the duties pertaining to his order. A more
high handed violation of the law of nations
cannot be conceived, and if the sentence is
carried out, lesser stigma than murder
cannot attach to it.
Our Government has sent a letter OF
remonstrance to the British Minister at
Washington, and to the Canadian authori-
ties, but with what result is not of course vet
known. The latest advices are that the
President has promised to protect these vic
tins to British malice but when we reflect
who the President is, we do not feel great
confidence in the fulfillment of the promise
Meanwhile, the Fenans are recruiting men
and donating money throughout the Atlantic
States, and the opinion is rife that another
raid upon the Canadians is close at hand.
Let us hope and pray.

PRAIsEwoRrHY.-Mi Martha Bidwell has
for some time past been teaching school
near Jackson's bridge, on Cottonwood. On
Saturday last, with the assistance of Miss
Hare, a teacher at the American Ranch, and
Mrs. DIR. Ruff, she gave at her school house
an exhibition for the amusement Of her
scholars and their friends, consisting of
tableaux and other pleasing and instructive
entertainments. The attendance was large
and appreciative, and the whole affair a
great success, afording pleasure and instrue-
ton to all. Efforts of this kind cannot be
too much extolled, and they should be more
frequent. The object is praiseworthy, and
the results such as to crafty all interested in
the education of the youth of our State. 1t
is by such efforts that the pupil is made to
love the school, and the teacher becomes
endeared to the scholar-all producing re-
suits most agreeable.

WORLDS FAIR-Professor w. P. Blake,
appointed by Governor Low to the Worlds
Fair, also has the appointment from the State
Agricultural Society. He will leave for
Paris direct about the lst of January, and is
now engaged in the collection of a cabinet of
minerals worthy of the State he represents.
Contributions may be directed to l. N. Hoag,
Sacramento, or to Prof W. P. Blake, San
Francisco. Here is an opportunity to bring
Shasta county into prominent notice as a
mining district, that should not be neglected,
and all having choice specimens of our mines
should forward them at once. We are
authorized by Mr.. Felix Tracy, Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S agent in this place, to say that he will
forward any and all specimens that may be
left with him, free of expense to the contrib
utor

that time never let her daughter leave the
house without accompanying her. The
daughter loved the dry goods man the old
lady didn't, Result Young man was for
bidden entree to the young lady's house.
Here another chapter breaks in upon the
ear. The young lady has another suitor.-
He is rich and finds much favor with the

Enterprise.

Would it not be well for our citizens to
look for moment and see if there is not
preceptlble among us as community a
want of that material quality known as en-.
terprise7 Would it not be well to think
well, each for himself, with eyes turned in
wardly, until all that is there of public spirit
is we'll digested, and then outwardly, until
the mind has taken in all that can be seen OF
IS known of the enterprise of his acquain-
tance? The man in this community that will
take the trouble to do this much, and put
down on his tablets the result of his dis
coverles, will be astonished at the amazingly
small amount of figures required to state the
result.
We are among those who believe that en-
terprise, like almost everything else, is eth
er the creature of circumstances or of educa-
ton and as it is good thing to have
among US, and as there are no apparent cir
cumstances to draw out the latent feeling, We
propose to do a little something in the way OF
education, to the end that steam may be got
ten up in quantities sufficient to at least turn
the eyes of all interested to two of the public
wants and needs of the town and county, to
make them as prosperous as they should be
with their present facilities alone.
For instance would not little enterprise
secure, locate, and open road not more
than seven miles long, between Shasta and
Ellsworth mill, in the South Fork district,
thus securing to Shasta all the light trade of
that place and all the travel from distant
points to that locality? 1t is measure that
has been talked about and pronouced a
"good thing" Enterprise would do 1t, and
when done not only the above limited at re-
suits would be obtained, but another, in
making Shasta so much easier of access to
those residing in the western and South
western parts of the country.
Another measure which would be of almost
universal benefit and convenience to the cit
izens of the county would be the building of
free bridge across the Sacramento river,
so that the farmers and business men living
on the east side could get here to market
with their produce, without being taxed to
death. Such an enterprise would make two
free inlets and outlets to Shasta, instead of
one as now, and would add largely to the
trade of the town. There are many other
things to be done, but we don't propose to
give too big lesson at cne time.
That the South Fork district is one of the
richest, if not the very richest known, may
now be put down as fixed fact, and that it
will draw to our midst large population
there is no doubt or question. Shall we lead
off, then, and get ready for its coming ?-or
shall we remain in our we'll crusted shell, to
be kicked around by the incoming life, to be
surprised from our torpor and walked as from
a dream, unready to take advantage of what
if taken at the beginning of the flood, might
lead on to fortune?

MIDDLErowN-Th Tornado Company,
after piping with a twenty-five foot head
against bank of about the same height,
with very little profit to anybody except the
ditch company, concluded finally to try what
virtue there was in powder as means of
getting the dirt down. They run two drifts,
each about thirty feet in length, placed
therein a few kegs of powder, touched it off,
and behold! a vast amount of broken dirt
was ready for the action of the water, and is
now being floated off easily as a sand bank
could be. Powder can be proftably us ID in
many localities in this region that are now
lying unworked, because they are too hare
to be worked with hydraulics.

PRESIDENT ROBERTS ON JoHNsoN.-In a
speech to the Fenian Brotherhood, at Troy,
lately, President Roberts said:
If johnson came before Irishmen for their
votes, they ought to be strangled if they gave
them. He had promised to be the Moses Of
the negro, and he had turned out to be a
Pharaoh to crush them. He would like to
be their Moses, but Irishmen were afraid OF
his turning Pharaoh again. The one thing
johnson did a. the request of the Fenians
was to release John Mitchell from Fortress
Monroe; but the Fenians have since discov
cred that it was on account of his sympathy
for rebels, and not for them 1t is evident
that large proportion of the Irish vote is
lost to the Democratic party so long as An
drew johnson is dictator of that organiza
tion
