and fair weather as this one has been, or such
prospects for this SEA son of the year for immense
crops of everything cultivated by the husband

"a bouh4lcss wealth of harvests." This is not

exchanges from the central and northern from
tier Of .the State comes the same gratifying
STORY.

'ty Hospital The man had chopped wood for
peter Maher at the Homestead Ranch some years

and cared for until Thursday morning last, when

Tickets, ncludiag supper, So.
The DANCE AT THE AMERICAN.-We learn from
those who attended that the social dance which
came off at the American an Monday evening
last was one of the most largely attended, So
ciable, gcntecl and pleasant parties ever held in
AUBURN. This is saying great deal, for there
have been many tip top parties in Auburn, but
still our authority is so direct, respectable and
convincing. that we must admit the fact. Many
gentlemen and ladies from a distance attended
and add their testimony in corroboration of the
above statement.
TEA PLANr.-We were show this week, by Rev.
N. r. Peck, three tea plants which he was bring
ing from the japanese colony in Ell Dorado
county, to plant at his residence at Ophir in
this county. The leaf is very similar to that
of the monthly rose. They were carefully pre-
pared io- trasplanting and the curious can be-
yond doubt see them growing by calling at the
Reverend gentlemans residence lew weeks
hence.
ELEvATING.- Ben. Morse has placed some jack
, screws under the floor Of Hubbard d Andrews
banking house, and is raising it to position
commensurate with the grand cash on hand. We
hope while Ben has possession of the screws he
will place them under the editorial Uranium of
the Stripes and elevate il to respectable po-
sition in Journalism. We mean no disrespect to
the bankers in this connection.
KILLED BY FRosT.-We regret 10 learn that
peaches, almonds, apricots and that class of
early blooming fruits have been killed by the
late frost following the hailstorm, at Yankee
Jims, Forest Hill and imilar attitudes in the
mountains in this county. Apples, pears and
later blooming fruits are however, all safe in
these sections OF the county. Below these points
all varieties of fruits and berries are safe and
promise a heavy yield.

be found the programme of the Annual County
Teachers Institute, as ordered by Superintend-
