On the passage of the impeachment resolu-

appeared before the bar of the Senate and
declared that by order of the House of Rep

HE FoRr CROOK CoUSTRY.-During the
past two years the population of Pit River,
Fall River and Birney valleys has steadily
increased, until that isolated section of the
county has become point of considerable
importance. We are informed that ten or
twelve families from Oregon will be added to
tile population of these valleys during the
present spring. Two trading posts are al
ready doing good business in furnishing
supplies for the use Of the settlers, and the
establishment ola third is spokenfof The
best lands in these valleys are being taken "
and substantial Improvements made upon
them. The soil is rich, and yields excellent

horses and sheep are becoming numerous,
twenty thousand of the latter having been
driven there from Oregon last Fall. The

andruns in north easterly direction, along
the divide between the waters Of Pit River
aud Little Cow Greek, passing on the north
side of Round Mountain, and intersecting the
Red Bluff and Fort Crook road at the crossing
of Montgomery Greek. This road, which
will be completed the present spring, will
bring Fort Crook twenty five miles nearer to
