LYONS kathairOn.

IT Is MOST DELIGHTFUL HAIR DRESSING.
1t eradicates scurf and dandruf.
II keeps the headcool and clean.
1t makes the hair, soft and glossy.
1t prevents hair turning gray and falling off.
1t restores hair upon premaiurely bald heads.
This is just what Lyon S Kathairon will do 1t is
pretty-it is cheap-durable- 1t is literally sold
by the carload, and yet its almost incredible de-
mand is daily increasing, until there is hardly a
country store that does not keep it, or a family
that does not use it.

THEArRicAL.-k is scarcely to be expected that
an extensive and efficient theatrical company will
visit 0rovle in the present condition of our thea
tire, and as general rule. our peoole probably
right in thinking tn at nothing worth seeing in that

they been in attendance generally, would have

GEORGE PAUNcEFoRr. entertaining and amusing.
What they gave was we'll read and well delivered,
and the singing of the little beauty, NELLIE GIBSON,
was charming. However one show is good
another to u.s. if is only well attended. We could
not enjoy FoREsT, playing to empty benches, and
could sit ont geological menagere circus if the
tent was well filled with spectators.

MARysv1LLE FAIR.-A brief visit to the Marys-
willie Fair on Wednesday. gave us an opportunity to
glance some of the stock there presented for in
spectien. The number of animals on exhibition
was small, but most of them were hlooded stock,
and made very fine appearance. Butte county is
well represented in the stock line. John A. Gull,
exhi bited his fine bull Senator, and Mr.. J. D.
Forbes some very fine Suffolk and Essex hogs.
Senator weighed on the scales here in oroville
on his way down 1914 lbs. Mr.. Wicks' famous bull
Bedford weighing 1890 lbs. was also on exhibit
ton. Mr.. Jos. Gluekauf exhibited pastoral, two
years old. H. Clifford had Butte county wine on
exhibition MesSrs. Parks & Piatt, of Forbestown,
exhibited quartz specimens from their ledge. In
the mechanical line o. J. McQuaid, of Oroville,
hbited cast steel OK shoes and miniature ring and
anvil.

CONTEMPLATED CHANGE.-It has been in eontem-
plation for some time, to change the running time
on the railroad so that the ears may leave here in
the morning and connect at Sacramento in time for
the afternoon boat to San Francisco. This change
will bring Oroville within fourteen hours of San
Francisco, and be great accommodation for Nor
them California. Passengers leaving San Francis
co at r. NJ will then arrive in 0rovile at II the
following A.. NJ. This will necessitate change in
the hours of departure for the d erent stage lines
running out of Oroville. The Oregon line will
leave here on the arrival of the cars from Marys-
willie at IL A. n. Gen. Wood will leave Oroville at
the same hour every other day, with his line for
Susanville thus rendering it unnecessary for pas
sengers to that place and Taylorvile to go twenty
five miles ont of their way, as they compelled
to do in going by the way of Chico. The La Porte
stages will arrive in Orove in time for the morn
ing cars to Marysve thus making the trip through
to San Francisco in one day. We not advised
to the changes contemplated in the Oroyille and
Quincy line, but presume that will not be behind
other lines in the hour of arrival an departure.

PrAcuEs.-We have in this county variety Of
peach known as the Butte They are of large
size, small pit, solid and of delicate favor. In 50,
a lady visiting Marysville, procured few large
fine looking peaches, and greatly admiring them,
preserved the pits and gave them to lady friend.
They were planted on the ranch of G. W. Books
near Bdwell Bar. From this early day ranch,
some of the trees from these seedlings were trans
ferred to the ranch of J. NJ. BURT, just below Oro
vile, and has gone on budding and grating, until
he has produced the finest and heaviest peach
have seen this season. The name of Butte" was
long since bestowed upon them, and Mr.. BURT has
taking considerable pride in having this variety do
their level best Two of them fell into the hands
of the lady who had furnished the pits for planting
and She after lapse of fourteen years, and with
out knowing their history, recognized the peaches
as the same she had casually bought and caused to
be cultivated. This is pretty good evidence that
both the lady and the peaches have an excellent

PRoGREss.-The receipts of wheat at San Fran
cisco the present year, show large increase over
those OF any previous year and as yet the receipts
have been mainly from the Sacramento and San
Joaquin Valleys. From Napa and other wheat
growing districts surrounding the Bay, nothing has
as yet been received. The harvest is backward
owing probably to the cold wind and fogs that pre-
vail in those localities. The demand for export
has been steady and good. Some $50 900 sacks of
wheat have been shipped to England; rs 900 of
flour and wheat to China. and about 100 900 of the
same to Australia. About 100 goo sacks have been
sent to other ports and markets in the Pacific.

months more of the dry season. A company has
taken up Round Valley "a small valley at the head
of Big Kimshew } for the purpose of converting it
into a reservoir to supply Little Klnshew with

this enterprise of nerve and energy, and
possess the means to carry the work to successful
completion.

BurTE.-In the number of quartz Lodges, river
and placer mining, and in the production of rosin
grain, garden vegetables, fruits, berries, melons
and grapes, Butte is the banner county of the
State. Fat beaves and pork roam fields, and
our orchards are overladen with peaches. pears
and plums. Our girls entertain themselves and
their friends with music on the piano; matrons
ride in family carriages of the best Eastern manu-
faeture, and carry in their pockets more taxable
watches than can be found in all the Northern
States, according TO the Federal assessment re
turns. We have the finest Court House yard in
the State; the cheapest grocery and dry goods
stores, the best of mineral, farming and vineyard
lands; shall soon have one of the best school
houses in the State and if the Agricultural Col
lege is not located in this county, why then We
must have one of our own, so that We can teach
the Professors in the State Institution the true ma
ture and production of the soil of California.
