THERE may be towns i'll this State which
surpass ours in beauty of location-which
may have statelier buildings, and better laid
out streets-but the suburbs, or rather the
surroundings of Mokelumne Hill, excel
them all in loveliness. There is scarcely a
private residence near our town but that
has fine yard, well filled with fruit trees
of all descriptions, neatly fenced in, while
the houses, in many instances, are complete
ly embowered in grape vines. At this time
of the year, when the fruit and shade trees
look so fresh and green, and the flowers
are in bloom, one cannot imagine lovelier
spot. Mokelumne Hill is the Eden of Cal
ifornia.
