MAGAI1A, May q, 1866.
Ed. BurrH RECORD :-IrENs-yes-ny you
call "snow, hail, rain, and then read em back
ward and 90 keep on reading for 8 days
ITExs.-H you viii consult Dr.. ATREs-I did
you will 6nd the Moon-blast her picture
changed on Monday, 21st inst, and in just 5
minutes thereafter it began to rain From
that time till this writing, there has been more
or less of the three before mentioned eoncomi-
tants of ,ret, attracted. suppose, by the gray
itaiion of the earth. Anyway they have all
come right down on her face, and look where
one may, nothing but uet meets the view,
nasty. muddy, snowy, baily wet. Everything
is wet. The Ching Chong road laborers up
at PowELLs are wet Their tails just drip,
and what is worse they are enveloped and &C
ccmpanied by fog. Notwithstanding all this
wet WooD's stage and four goes marching on
regularly and up to time always. Tox went
up to day with 6 and = passengers, mail and
baggage. By the way. are you aware that
WooD carries the mail to and from Susanville
and Oroville, up and back, tuice week, when
bis contract only calls for one service This
is great public convenience. 1t seems to
me the public do not appreciate it as fully as
they should, nevertheless the benefit is appar
ent.
have searched DABALL all over and through
for that name you applied to tie Chico cuss-
or chap, "as you please" Cou-rantrng-who-
ever be may be-he certainly came from west
ern Georgia. His education was peculiar to
the locality his map taught him to reverse
the position of the Poles, North and South,
that's all His locating Mineral Slide on and
near the great Idaho route with terminus at
Chico, proves his early training. Now, OLD
DAD abd our Supervisor, GREEN, say they are
willing to make oath that Mineral Slide is DO
more than y miles from this place, and BILL
HAsrY offers to hitch up bis bulls and haul the
Co,c rantee down to the Slide and back inside
of one hour and ten minutes. for the lager all
around. Mr.. RECORD, them Chico fellers are
crazy. That's what's the matter! TILDEN
got thoroughly initiated while at Stockton
be probably knows bow to make folks mad, if
he does not know how to cure EN- after they
become so. As for the great-bella donna
did-he is large man, heavy-I have always
given large men credit for enlarged ideas, mag
nanamity, &c.-Little dorgs bark and snap
big dogs bite-I have knoarn some that would
not bite even little dog Or pig, but show 'em
one of their size and you bet the hair would
fly. How, in the name of common sense, the
great Man allowed the P. o. Department to
be swindled with such contract, beats me.
$4,000! Why that's all LEONARD asked to
build famous turnpike from Oroville over the
summit of the Sierras. If Mr.. DENNIsoN, 2.
NJ General, does not annul that contract miss
my guess.
