CALIFORNIA LETTER.-We take pleas
ure in publishing an interesting California
letter from George w. Chaplin, Esq,
which will be perused with pleasure by
his many frinds in this community. We
trust it may appear with less errors than
have his former communications. We
wish to correct two or three that occurred
in his previous letter In the publication
of the diary of his jurney to California he
is made to say, 1--WE cross Bitter Creek,
noted for its attractive qualities" 1t
should have read alkaline qualities. At
tractive would be the very opposite of the
truth, for its waters are 30 entirely repuls-
i've that they are used by neither man OF
beast
In the description Of his visit to Lone
Mountain he surveyed az it were at a
single glance so many objects to him of
thrilling interest, his emotional nature re-
minded him Of Millions sublime and
beautiful address to Diety, and which ran
thus:
"These are Thy glorious works Parent
of good.
Almighty: Thine this universal frame.
Thyself how wonderous then ?"
The above lines were put by the printer
in prosaic form, which made it appear
singular, and gave it no force. We hope
to avoid these errors in future.

REMARKS.
More evidences of dry summer are afforded
by the appearance of the stock this week. Near
ly $500 cattle and 10000 sheep are large numbers
for this market and while there may be but lit
tie change the range OF prices, the ordinary 10
slim qualities, which comprise, perhaps, seven
eighths of the whole, seem from week to week to
be gradually sinking in value. As we nave De-
fore remarked there is less than usual demand
for cattle and for the same reason that farmers
are so anxious to sell,-which. is, dry pastures
and small hay crops. The dealers in store cattle
do not dare to buy.
A few pairs of very extra oxen Were taken at
"a cents, and few others at l3k but from II
to 12I cents are the pnces for most Of the North
ern oxen. Fair steers, heifers, etc., are sold at
10 to IL 4 CENTS and two-year olds, cows ETC., as
to quality, are sold from to cents per pound.
The large number OF sheep and lambs last week
crowded the mutton market, and butchers were
no DESTROYS to buy as they were last Tuesday;
and as most of them were well supplied by way
of commission goods some farmers who came In
with their own focks found rather dull work in
disposing Of them. Some Of the best lots, includ-

NEW ENGINE.-A new and frst-clasc
passenger engine, named the 81. NJ
Haven" after the genial and accomodat-
ing treasurer of the road, made its trial
trip over the Rutland Railroad yesterday.
It was built under the supervision of
\. L. Davis, the efficient and popular
master mechanic at the shops in Rutland,
and is designed to run from Rutland to
Bellows Falls, taking the mail train down
and returning with the night express,
and will be in charge of Mr.. E. L. Foss as
engineer, who suffered so severely at the
late Summit accident.
The cylinders of the engine are 16x22
inches, and the driving wheels have d
diameter of 81 feet, the whole engine
weighing about thirty tons. 1t has been
some five or ak months in building and
has cost probably between thirteen and
fourteen thousand dollars. Like all OF
the work under the supervision of Mr.
| Davis it il frst-class, and reflects credit
not only on the road and Mr.. Davis, but
is matter of congratulation that we can
turn out as perfect work in our Vermont
shops, as can be obtained elsewhere in the
country. We congratulate Mr. Foss that
he returns to the road with so excellent
an engine, and trust it may be taken as a
favorable omen of his future career.
