From FALL RIvER-Under date of
Sept. Il correspondent at Fall River
Valley writes us as follows:
Il thought would give you few items
in regard to our valley The farmers are
nearly through their threshing and the
crop averages very well, there was about
double the amount of grain raised thr
season to the crop of last year. Mr. Win
ters is putt ng up large saw and grist
mill at the Big Falls, and will build a
bridge across the river at the same point,
and make road from there to connect
with tn, road to what was known as the
Ballard Bridge, which Winters has pur-
chased Winters has some twenty men in
his employ, working on the race and mill
Nine tons of machinery came in to day
which cost $4,000 below he cost of the
mills, when complete, Winters estimates
at not less than $4,000. You see our
little valley is thri,i ing, most every one is
building and making Improvements as fast
as they can with the present scarcity of
lumber When Winters has his mill in
running order it will help US along"
Such items of local interest are always
accept BILE and add to the interest of a
county paper. We hope to lear from our
correspondent again.

WATCHED THE SPRING.-This story
cones to us from the Millville country.
In that section a man has a flock of
sheep which are herded by himself and son.
They camp out on the range near spring
and it was not long before the old gentle
man discovered that a huge bear made
daily visits to the spring for water. 1t was
not desirable to encourage visits OF this
character 30 the old gentleman loaded his
tru,tly rife, Al d VIII lie the boy herded the
sheep, took his station to watch the COM
ing of Bruin The afternoon was hot and
sultry but the watch was kept up, aud at
last there was rustic in the bushes. a
shaggy form appeared, the keen eye glanc-
ed along the gllstenlng barrel, flash and
loud report and the leyden messenger had
done its duty. Cautiously stepping around
the interven ,ng bushes to see the effects of
his shot, aud thinking that wounded
bear was not the most agreeable of CON-
panious, he was startled at hearing hi. b Us
voice saying: Father, this plaguey mule
ha> lain down and is trying to drown itself
The lad, meanwhile, was tugging at the
bride to pull the mules head out of the
spring He had came in and led the mule
to water, when the old man, having bear
on the brain, blazed away, the bullet pass
ing through the saddle girth, sending the
animal to the place where all good mules
go. Whether the old man still watches
the spring our informant saytth not

REGrsTRATIoN-The Political Code has
made an important change in the Registry
Law, in reference to the registration of
voters on certificates from other counties,
of which it is well that voters should be
advised. Section 1907, subdivisions l. and
2, say no persons name must be entered
by the Clerk unless Upon a certificate Of
registration in another county, showing
that such registration has been Cancelled,
and upon proof by the affidavit of the party
that he is an elector of the county in which
be seeks to be registered. 2 Upon the
return of the Assessor of the county"
Subdivision 7 of the same section, says
sIn every case the affidavit of the party
shows all the facts required to be stated in
the entry on the Register, except the date
and number OF the entry Through the
politeness of County olerk Bickford, we
have been permitted to publish the follow
ing letter from he Attorney General upon
this subject:
SACRAMENTO, Sept, 11th, 1872.
WIZ. II. BIcKFoRD, ESQ.,. County Clerk o
Shasta county, DEAR SIR.-1ours OF Tue
9th inst. is received. Section 1897 of the
Political Co6e requires an affidavit that aft
ant is an elector of the county in which he
seeks 10 be registered. in all cases where
registration is sought upon certificate from
another county; Yours. &C.,
john L. LOVE,
Attorney General.
It will be seen that no person can be
enrolled or registered without making the
affidavit required. Heretofore voters have
sent in their certificates from other counties
to the County Clerks, and it has been
deemed sufficient, but those certificates
will hereafter be required TO be accompani-
ed by the prescribed affidavit. The change
is bad one in our opinion, putting voters
in the outside precincts to trouble and ex-
pense which might as well have been
avoided the certificate of cancellation
should have been hed as sufficient evidep &C
Of citizenship and intention. The law not
being retro active, OF course affects none
already registered.

A LANDMARK GoNE.-The frame build
ing alongside of the proposed new school
house, has been torn down by the Trustees,
to enable the carpenters to put in more
windows for the school rooms. This old
frame is one of the few relics yet left
of early days 1t was used by Bull, Baker
& Co., as a warehouse after the great fire
of 1858, and as high as thirty thousand
dollars worth of goods we're sold and ship
ped from it in single week. Being high
above the ground its timbers are yet in q
good state of preservation. Thus the
march OF improvement goes on.

HORSE KILLED A six horse wagon,
heavily loaded. was descending the hill
near the Four Mile House on Wednesday
morning, wher the brake gave way letting
the whole weight of the wagon and 5000

wheel horses. The team was soon lost to
control and the horses falling, the heavy
wheels passed over the neck of one, killing
him instantly, while his mate was seriously
injured. The freight was transferred to
another wagon to be forwarded to its des-
tination, and Mr.. Hall, owner of the team
returned to TOW with the crippled horse.
