we have not seen anything Of as Kind erecu,
ed, by one man, that manifested to our
mind SO forcibly the results Of persevering
energy and go-aheaditiveness.
Although wehad frequently heard and read
of the gentleman, we had never the pleasure
of seeing him until. at the request of several
friends, we were induced to visit his splendid
domain Of 500 acres, where we met with a
cordial and disinterested reception, His
splendid orchard and vineyard now cover an
area of 225 acres; the air, willie vocal with
the song of many tiny warblers, is fragrant
with welcome odors-the heavens are tran
quill and serene, and good old Sol shines
brightly over all on Gods footstool-the
poor and the rich, alike. We shall, in our
letter to follow this, perhaps astonish you
and some Of your readers when giving a des-
cripton of the place particularly. We have
simply, at present, endeavored to convey an
idea Of the new building spoken of at length,
and in reading it, we desire that you bear in
mind always, that when the proprietor set
tied here in the Fall of 1852, the whole sur
rounding region was wild forest of oaks and
pines, whose stalwart arms stretched far and
wide, and between whose trunks was an al
most impenetrable brake, and the courage

dollar to combat with and make the wilder

WADE AND THE BUGGIsTs. Ts.-The rage Of

himself into volcano of profanity. He as
serts that Grant has sent him down here with
a pack of damned fools who, now that their
work is done, want to sport around the West
India Islands and scoop up all the snakes and
lizards He swears and sweats, and sweat
and swears in the hot sun until one could al
most imagine that his great soul was just
ready to jump out Of his body The fact is
Ben wants to go home. His work is done,
and he don't want to loaf around any longer.
He objects to being the figure-head of gang
Of crazy buggsts, who are necessarily talk
ing about scarabai, umbeliferous and lumin-
GUS orders, arachnida, coprophagi, anthro-
yomorphe, the phytelephasmacrscarpa, lar
cetina, thorictes, and ether damned non
sense" as Ben calls it.. The other day enc
of the buggists came on board with fat spi-
der strung to stick.
"What in the name Of heaven is that r
asked Ben, as the kicking spider was passing
him.
"That, Mr.. Wade" said The happy bug
gist holding up the spider, "is a beautiful
specimen of the formulated lycoss tarautula.
It's the finest specimen | ever slw.
The old War Horse gazed at it one mo-
ment and then growled out "The hell it is!

Soon after another buggist came on board
with three tailed fish, and told Ben it was
the emcst complete specimen of hemocersal ever
found. A more disgusted man than Wade
was when he received this information has
rarely been seen. am told that Ben has
said that be expects to meet a buggist with

TERRIBLE COMBAT WITH BEAR

TERRIBLE OOMBAT WITH A DEAR - ne
Los Angeles Ne,os has the following:
John Searles, well known in this section Of
the State asan xpert miner, left Soledad Can
on few days ago, with couple of friends,
on a hunting expedition into the mountains
north and east of La Lebre Rancho, which
abound in deer and bear. Wednesday even
ing, the party encamped at the foot of a large
canon, and, leaving his frien Is, Mr. Searl s
took his rifle, a Spencer, and went up the
canon hunting; about mile from camp, he
killed and dressed grizzly. Judging from
the fresh signs that bear were plenty. he
went up the canon, looking for good place
for a hunting camp. Half a mile from where
he left his horse, in very thick brush, he came
suddenly upon large grizzly breaking down
the chemisal in thicket. After waiting in
the trail few minutes, with his gun ready,
the bear emerged from the heavy brush, and
made rush at him. A ball from the Spen-
Ger knocked it down; but, almost immed-
ately rising, the bear, one of the largest kind :,
closed with him. The Spencer missing fire
three times, a terrible hand to hand combat
ensued, the man fighting for life with his fists,
and the bear fighting for death with his teeth
and claws. The unequal conflict was not pro-
longed. The bear, weakened by loss of blood
which poured from the rifle ball wound, left
the man for dead, and, crawling into the
brush bled to death. After the bear left Mr.
Searles, who had feigned death, arose and
examined his wounds. A bite from the bear
had broken his lower jaw in several places,
one of his arms was broken, and terrible
wounds in his side were bleeding fast. In
this condition he crawled to his horse, mount
ed and rode to camp. He was brought to
this city last night by his friends, and the
best surgical aid summoned to his aid, al
though it is feared that bis injuries are fatal =,
and that Los Angeles is soon to lose one of
the most enterprising citizens.

WHAT THE "FAr CONTRIBUTION" KNOWS
ABOUT FARMING No farmer can consider bis
fall work complete until he has his cellar well
supplied with saw logs. Seated around the
blazing hearth of winters night there is no
fruit more delicious. A correspondent asks
us what we think Of late blowing. Flowing
should not be continued later than ten or
eleven o'clock at night, 1t gets the horses
into the habit of staying out late and unduly
exposes the plow. We have known horses
to acquire springhalt and inAamatory rhsu-
matism from late plowing. Don't do it. To
another correspondent who wants ua to sug-
gest good drain on farm, we would say
heavy mortgage at ten per cent. will drain it
about as rapidly as anything we know Of.
When you make cider select nothing but tho
soundest turnips, chopping them into sled
length before cradleing them In boiling
your cider use plenty of ice, and when boiled
hang it up in the sun to dry. A pickaxe
should never be used in picking apples. 1t
has tendency to break down the vines and
damage the hive. In sowing your. winter
apple jack, horse rake will be found pref
erabe to freeze ur, and are hardly palataba
unless boiled with sugar. The coming cold
weather should suggest to the humane far
mer the necessity for making good cow
shed. The following is good receipt for
making good cow she'd Pour pailtul Of
boiling hot water OH her back, and if that
don't make good COW shed-her hair-we
are no prophet to noto1y. Now is the time
for planting your winter hay. The pink
eyed Southdown is probably the best variety
as it don't need boiling and begins to lay
early.

They say-ah! well suppose they do!
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought
Why count yourself among the they"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They say-but why the tale reherse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not a noble plan
To speak of all the best you can?
They say-well, if it should be SO,
Why need you tell the tale of woe?
Will it the better wrongs redress.
Or one pang of sorrow less?
Will it the erring ones restore,
Henceforth to go and sin no more?'
They say-oh! pause and look within
See how thine heart inolines to sin.

Thought, too, should sink beneath its power
Pity the frail-weep Ger their fall

IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TANNERS -
The following correspondence contains instruc-
tons from Commissioner Drummond, which
will enable miners and farmers to adjust their
boundaries and treat what is left of forty acre
tracts as enterable as agricultural lands:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE, March 20, II.
A. 4. Sargent, House Of Representatives.,
Washington, d. C.-SlR:--l have the hon-
or to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
the 7th inst, inclosing one dated at Nevada,
California, the 25th ultimo, from H. 5. Brad
ley, in relation to mineral atfidavits and, and
with reference to the subject would state that
prior to the passage of the Amendatory Min
ing Act of July 8, 1870, the local land
officers were instructed that where the lands
were surveyed and parties sought to establish
their mineral character, the affidavits alleging
ing than agricultural purposes should be made
to apply to the smallest legal subdivisions,
which at that time were forty acre tracts.
Since the passage Of said act of July 8. 1870,
authorizing, at the expense of claimants, the
subdivisions Of forty into ten acre tracts, the
latter are recognized as the smallest legal sub
divisions in mineral regions where parties
have caused such subdivision to be made
agreeably to the law and instructions. And
no reason i. perceived why the same proof
of mineral or non mineral character should not
be made to apply to each one of the ten acre
lots in forty that has heretofore been ap-
plicable TO the forty acre tracts itself, there
being doubtless many forty acre tracts in min
ing districts of which part may be valuable
for mining and the remainder clearly agricul-
tural, or containing deposits of mineral in such
limited quantities as not to be remunerative
to the miner, and which s the policy of thu
Government to dispose of to permanent set
tiers under the homestead pre-emption laws,
instead of leaving them to remain out of mar
ket indefinitely by reason of their contiguity
to lands containing mines.
1t is contemplated to instruct the local
officers to this effect al an early date.
The letter of Bradley is herewith returned.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIS DRUMMOND,
Commissioner.
