upon the fold There were three or four men acting
as herders in the party but it seems but one Of
them had the eourge-indiscretion seme folks
would call ito make war on the bears. This
man, whose name our informant did not learn, was
determined to defend the flock. He therefore
opened on srizzley No. l, which he brought down.
He then took an Indians rife and fired and killed

discharged all the pieces of the party. The bears
succeeded in killing seven or eight sheep before

REASONS WHY
The American Watch
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS,
Is the Best.

1T IS MADE ON THE BEST PRINCIPLE. Its
frame is composed of solid pilates. No jar can
interfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage lis machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself IA
mons for its novelty wellas for its eectiveness)
and is therefore properly made. The watch is what
all mechanism should ba-1ccurrte simple, strong
and economical. Except some high grades, too
costly for general use. foreign watches are chiefly
made by women and boys. Such watches are COM
posed of several hundred pieces. screwed and riv
eted together and require constant repairs to keep
them in any kind of order. All persons who have
carried ''ancres' "lepines" ana English Patent
Levers are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago it our first object to make thor
oughly good low-priced watch for the million. to
take the place Of these foreign impositions-the
refuse Of foreign factories which were entirely
saleabe at home and perfectly worthless every
where.

constructed. which perform their work with con-

The Internal Revenue Tax, of two ana a Ia II
per cent on gross amounts of earnings. heretofore
levied against Transfers, has been discontinued by
Act of Congress, since June S0ih, 1866. The tax
is levied and payable up to that date only. Il IS
fortunate for the Transfers that the law leyyug this
tax has been repealed for there were never was
season in California when Transfers had 50 little
freightng to do. The complaint of dull times in
this respect in universal, and comes from all parts
ofthe State. The presumption is that the Interior
of the State is producing more than formerly. and
is not obliged to import for home consum ption.
Still, the mountain towns will have to be supplied
with their winter stores, before the rainy season
sits in.
