LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

NoRrHFoRK.-Time was when Northfork re-
;oiced in a large population, the most of whom
were very fond of joking, and eminsntly practi-
cal that way. The diggings were good, times
were lively, and the town went by the name OF
Bagdad. But for a while the glory of this burg
departed. We take much delight in saying that
it looks just now as though a turn was about to
take place in the affairs Of Northfork and tide
set in which will lift her higher than ever before
in point of wealth and population. A very little
enterprise has discovered rich mines three
sides of the town. William Rtterbush, on the
hill opposite the place, has very rich ground.
We saw one pan tried-proceeds, 81 G5. Rit-
terbush was sure he could beat it but we
couldn't stay longer. Just above the bridge,
Herman Schooner got 81 so out of prospect
hole 6} feet deep and feet square on the bottom.
Conrad Miller, Just above Northfork, cleaned up,
as the result of his last four days work, ounces
and 81 so. The claim just opened by Il. j..
Holmes prospects as high as $50 to the pan. IL.
Schooner has fine orchard and a number of
large grape vines. Last year he made sixty
gallons of wine and expects this year to make
one hundred and fifty gallons. Schooner is well
fixed and five years from now will be a rich man.
We are informed that McCarter and Currie are
likely to do well in a claim some distance from
town The people seem to be hopeful that there
is good time coming, and that before long
We hope so.

JUNCTION CTY-A little money is getting into
quently, are improving. The miners are gener-
ally doing remarkably well, for the scanty sup
ply of water they have. The claim of Haas 4
Hager is said to be paying enormously-one
Informant saying fifty ounces per week. Thede
4 Baumgartner are perfectly at home in the Car
ter house, and are having good run. Sunday
we counted thirty persons at supper. Gustav
says that when they get things righted up they
propose giving a grand ball. Louis Raab is still
there with everything that miners use, " for sale,
and is thriving with liquors only one bit.
0sthoff is going to make large additions to his
stock of hardware.

Fremont HoTEL.-W. p Mayhem, a gentleman
well-known in Weaverville, has recently leased

Red Bluff. We know that Mr.. Mayhew will be

Our Cotton and Wheat.

Advices from the South repre-
sent that the cotton crop of this
year viii be the largest that has
been raised since 1860. This be-
ing an admitted fact, the question
comes, how shall it be managed ?
Shall we sell as soon as ready for
market, or hold for better price2
The "holding' plan has been tried
in this county this year, and it
didn't pay. Some of our friends,
early in the season, were offered
Sl.00 per bpshel for their wheat,
which they refused, saying that
they were going to have S1.25.
Noae they would be glad to get 80
cents. We, believe that, as rule,
produce should be sold as soon as
ready for market. BY SO doing
we avoid the risk of loss by fire,
shrinkage, theft, vermin, and,
what is of vastly more Importance,
debts are paid when due, and cha
racter, which ought to be, and is,
more highly priced than money by
right-thinking people, is preserved
untarnished. Men who goin debt
and fail or refuse to pay according
to promise, when everybody knows
that they could pay if they would
sell only portion, it may be, of
their surplus, lose more than they
would gain if their expectations
of an advance were realized
Persons from whom they buy will
learn from experience that pay
meut will not be IT ade as promised
and an additional per cent. Is add
ed to indemnify the failure. So
that, generally, the best trade is
the first.
