Social opinion is like a sharp knife
There are foolish people who regard 1t
only with terror, and dare not touch or
meddle with it; there are more foolish
people, who, in rashness and defiance,
seize it by the blade, and get cut and
mangled for their pains; and there are
wise people, who grasp it discreetly and
boldly by the handle, aud use it TO carve
out their own purposes.

The Prussisn War.

By the latest we have received before
going to press, the bo~mbardment Of Par
is had not been attempted, although the
demand for it in Germany is great. On
the part Of the Germans it is said that
three councils Of war have been recently
held. Moltke fearH the formation Of a
large army in the south, it being further
away and there being more difficulty In
reaching it. He is unwilling to allow
Frederick Charles to 90 too far from Par
is. Bismarck is pressing energeticallY
the political movement to destroy the re-
publican government. Peace is absO-
futely necessary, and he is ready 10 make
a coalition with the Emperor or any
other representative who is willing and
able to make terms.
The Prussians, on the 10th, were con
c~entrating to attack Havre. 1t has $50 can
non and a strong garrison, and is expect
ed to make a stubborn resistance. A
sortie from Paris is reported. The
French came out from behind their for
tifcations in immense force, and drove
the Germans from their position. The
latter are reported ~retreating all along
the valley Of the Loire. The news from
Paris up to the 18th is that fresh meat,
EEEss Lsu a44 putt aA0 6NA0u "a N-l
supply Of horse meat will last twO
months. or bread, wine and cheese,
four months, and Of salt meats and salt
6Hh, two months. General TrOchu has
taken possession Of all the food and the
wines, and the population is now sup
| Piled by the Military CommissariSt, the
same as the soldiers. The surrender OF
the city is u~nthOught Of. The reverses at
| Orleans have not disturbed the equanim-
ity Of Psladines. His army did good ser
vice in depicting the force OF the be-
siegers.
Every Partisan is armed, and the city
/ can hold out three months longer with
out great suffering. The mortality il
large, but not enough to create alarm.
/ There are no epidemics, and no deaths
/ from starvation or want The outside
works have been pushed forward, which
has compelled an enlargement Of the
lines Of investment, and consequently
made the enemy weaker in the field.
From the works the marksmen com
mand the roads formerly out Of range,
1t is said there are 1000 horses en- route
from Germany to drag up the big guns
for the bombardment ofParis.

The British, however, are very unhappy
on account of the humiliation their ma

RAT AND MICH HUNT.

There are two organized clubs in our
town Of fifty men each, having for their
object the exter mination Of all rats,
mice and meadow mOles. They have
chosen sides, and no rat or mouse counts
unless caught in Bristol. They are go
ing to hunt until the 3lst OF this month
and then count tails, and the losing
parties paying for the supper for the
hunters and their ladies. Nothing could
engage the time OF our citizens, at the
present, that Will result in 50 much
profit to the community, as the destroy
ingAof these little pests. Had the hunt
commenced six weeks ago, the result
would have been much more profitable,
for the rzscals have already destroyed

have already been slain and still the war

The California Crane CrOp

The San Francisco Bulletin SAYS: This
year promises an extra abundant grape
crop, and, from all previous results in Cali
fornla. when such is the case, the wines
are of superior quality In 1866 and
1868 the vines bore luxuriously, and the
wine was light and of very high ella S.
Many of the foothills and places where
mining was formerly carried on are now.
for the most part, largely planted with
vines, therefore it is expected that the
quantity OF wine produced this year will
be almost double that of last season. Nest
OF the wine was also consumed in the quar-
ters where 1t was grown, but latterly it Is
being transported to San Francisco The
amount offruit to the vines will probably
not be as large as in 1868, but this defic-
iency will be made up by the new vines
coming into bearing. The eastern market
tor California wines is also gradually
increasing. There they require pure wine,
and know that they can obtain il from the
Pacific slope, consequently the prices are
such as to repay both the dealer and the
wine grower The demand for the higher
wines comes almost altogether from the
East, for there they reject the inferior
qualities, and are willing TO pay good
price for the better article. AS the grapes
all ripen Ill California, the cost of the pro-
duction of good and inferior wine is
equal. There is also great demand for
port wines and clarets made from foreign
grapes. Much OF the latter is used as imi-
tation Burgundy. There appears to be a
scarcity of two-year old port wines at
present. Last year more than half of the
champagnes were shipped East, over 5000
cases being manufactured by Landsberger
Co. This year the firm expects to turn
out as much as IL, 900 cases Last month
the shipments were 500 cases OF champagne
and 800 of still wines.
