How TO Sow WHEAT-John Bidweil,
of Chico. in letter to the Department of
gicuture. says:
"My rule has been, never to SOW less
than sixty pounds nor more than seventy
i've pounds [wheat] per acre, if sown in
Jecember-the average times for putting
in wheat in this part of California. The
earlier wheat is sown the better, after the
ali rains have wet the land and rendered
.,ossible the setting Of the plows in motion.
# racticable, then, wheat may be put in
November, when fifty pounds Of seed per
acre will suiice the Liter the sowing the
greater should be the quantity of seed per
acre. Mysexperience in this locality would
suggest the following rules as to quantity
II seed aud time Of sowing: when sown in
November, fifty pounis of seed; in Decem-
,oer, sixty pounds; in January. seventy
pounds; N February, eighty pounds; in
arch, ninety pounds.

Hunting a divorce.

Not long since there arrived in New

''Oh. sir. I've been badly treatedv cried
the lady, her heart evidently touched by
the Senator sympathy; and leaning her
head against his houider, she gave way to
tears.
Of course the Senator tried to quiet her.
He stroked her hair and even ven ured to
press his lips to her cheeks. just then
the duor opened, aud several gentlemen
walked in. The Senator. realizing his
awkward situation. cried out:

NUMBER !.
The Funding Bin.

The funding bill reported by the Senate
/ flnance Committee. passed that BODY on
the lth. 1t provides for the issue of four
hundred millions of ten-forty year bonds
at i've per cent. interest; four hundred
millions Of fifteen forty bonds at four
and half per cent interest; and four
hundred millions of ftwenty- forty year bonds
at forty per cent. interest, The interest
on these bonds is to be paid in coin, and
they are TO be'exempt from taxation TIL.
BILL provides for the appointment Of agents
IN Europe to negotiate the bonds, and a
sum not exec eding half of one per cent is
allowed for preparing and negotiating the
bonds. The bouds now held in the sink.
lng fund, and those hereafter purchased,
are to be Cancelled on the lst Of October
next Registered bonds of these denom-
nations are to be deposited as security for
The circulation Of banks, and banks that
iall to comply with this provision within
one year forfeit their circulation. Pro-
sion is made for the organization of banks

that as circulating notes are issued an
equal amount Of greenbacks shall be can

atty be demands and have employed Harden
Burrows Of Little Falls as counsel. Many of th'
factories IN that county clam to have used tbs
ranges and sets for several years previous to the
date of Scott'- patent The date OF rhe appiIca
ton for the patent is Jan. B. 1866, and that of the
patent Itself March 6, 1866"
In addition to this we may state thai
Scott took $40 from the West Rupert fac
tory two years ago and $3.50 from the Ru.
the West Pawlct and tho Pawlet fac.
tories como two or three years ago.
These letters and extract most effeotu.
ally dispose of the claim of Scott and his
agents, and show them to be engaged in
most disreputable mode of extorting
money from the proprietors of cheese fac
tories on a claim which they systemati-
cally avoid having tried before the proper
tribunal, and which will probably never
be properly decided until those persons
who have paid his demands shall institute
proceedings against him for the recovery
of their money.
We trust the press will thoroughly
ventilate this matter by giving wide
publicity to the letters of Messrs. Weeks
