rRAyc,sco.-An agricultural gentleman
from the rural districts OF walker RIVER,
took a trip over the mountains to San
Francisco A shor, time ago. He went
down there to see an old friend of his,
take items on the fashions, and revel in
city Injuries generally. The next morn
;,g after his arrival at the Bay city, he
cot up pretty early and started out to
lind his friend, who was q butcher, and
had q stand in the market on Clay
street. All of n sudden there was an
alarm of fire, and directly he saw a big
steam fire engine drawn by q couple of
stout horses, come dashing down the
street past him, with smoke rolling, and
fire and sparks flying out from the fur
lace behind. He watched it, wonder
struck, until it passed out Of sight. 1t
rather got him, but he said nothing.
Directly he came across his TREND,
and almost the first thing he had
to saw was /" Well, Pm ID it you
fellers down here amt got n HI OF a
way Of putting out fires" "How soF'
"Why! didn't you see that house ahre
bein' snacked off ont of town on wheels?

Billy Crandall, the efficient road agent
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S stage line to
California. Billy looks as handsome,
smart and active as he did thirty years
ago when he was a boy. He came from
California by the Placerville route yes

for having the mails and express come
that way, it being the only reliable
route across the mountains at present.

later news relative to the s,oppage OF
the cars by snow-slides, on Saturday.
