RosEvILLE, August 18th, 1871
Ed. Eerad.-Businoss having lately called us
up to the foot-hill country in the neighborhood
of our once beloved home Ia belle Rosevlle, and
as association, you know, has much to do III
drawing back the mind to the bright visions OF
the pleasing past, so it is that the sight of that
pretty place, suggested, at this time, the follow
ing news items.
Up above Roseville few miles is Rock City,
or Rocklin, where we had to make our first call,
irritable and susceptible of being put about in a
great degree in consequence, l suppose, of being
a batch, or being old or perhaps both, our appe
tite and dinner hour on that account scarcely
ever accord Long after noon, therefore, did we
call into hotel to satisfy, in way, our dainty
appetite A lady arrayed in black soon appear
ed. We simply asked sis there anything left?"
"Oh! yes,a little bread and butter'' was the curt
but bland reply Notwithstanding the dffdence
expressed in being able at that time, long after
dinner, as l before said to supply our natural
wants, the table actually seemed to give way
der the load of viands, cake, fruits and other
BONE mouche spread over it: The prandial SER
vices being concluded, rendered, as l went out
to the fair and handsome money taker at the bar
the usual four-bit piece, with the interrogatory
will that do?" ooh yes ;" said She ingenious
ly, ,'perhaps too much for what you have had"
Will try and give pen and ink sketch of
this lady? No. fear | am too,-too--too some
thing for that, but however, there was one thing
prominently observable in her and which drew
forth at the time, my entire admiration; she
does not, like most other ladies live in entire and
utter disregard of hygenic laws. Her well de-
veloped and ample rotundity of person gave suffi-
cient proof of this, quality, be it known that
all good and wise men, in selecting wives prefer
to smlal and waspish waists Should you call
down this way and this description can direct
| you Alright, be sure and call, and then you can
Judge if what l say be right.
| Sauntering then down to Rosevle | fell in
with that good and trusty democrat Mr.. Thomas,
! Alas , poor Thomas He looks careworn His
mmoveably fixed and deep set eyes, and his
knitted brow clearly denote him man of bust
| ness of great shrewdness, and deep penetration
He told us that up to the 7th of this present
month, he had then purchased 300 tons of wheat
and barley; he buys for Mr.. Egbert believe and
| gives Sacramento prices He said, Rosevle, in
spite of the dead heads around it, was still des-
tined to become place of Importance! That
there is good lumber yard there kept by Towl
| Bros, who are prepared to furnish the best
mountain lumber of every description at moder-
ate rates; that our mutual friend Capt. Brown,
| has bespoke lot to build dry-ooods store and
IA millinery on-the latter branch of the business
to be supervised by the daughter whom he looks
for shortly from the States. That n. j. Brans-
tetter buys hay for cash, and at current prices.
which he ships to the utramontane regions.
| That the School is in good running order, under
the able management of Mrs. Nash. And lastly
that the people here at fault with Judge Rear
DAMN regard to his decision, given in case of Peo-
pie VS.. the Board of Supervisors.j Because not
withstanding, though he may be right with re-
gard to two of them whose slim bodies are but
ill-calculated to carry the load of plunder in
tended to be borne away yet ought he to make
a distinction in favor of the other, whose corpu-
lent little athletic frame and brawney shoulders
are well able, Atlas like, to bear away even the
plumber of a world. He wishes our Gold Run
friend to understand when he next comes down
this way that he will be greeted and received with
a good deal of sympathy by his quandum friends
and supporters here. RosEvILLE.
