LINE BETWEEN S1sK1vou Conyrv

LINE BETWEEN SIsKIYoU County,.
AND SHASTA & LAssEN COUNTIES
bill passed the last Legislature, providing
for running the line between this county
on the one side and Shasta and Lassen
counties on the other The line to be run
commences at Castle Rock and runs thence
due east to the State line. The officers of
Lassen county believe, or pretend to believe,
that the line when surveyed will be estab-
llshed several miles farther north than
where 1T is now recognized to be. In 1861
L. 5. Rice, County Surveyor of this county,
and Linn, County Survey of Shasta
county, were appointed by the Boards of
Supervisors of their respective counties to
run out and establish the line between the
two counties During that summer they
met at Castle Rock, and commencing there.
Run the line thence eat as far as Fall
River Valley. In their report they state
that they found the line between the two
counties to correspond exactly with the
line between townships 3S and SO of the
United States surveys. If they were cor
rect in this statement-and we have no
reason to doubt that they were--we hardly
think Lassen will make anything by the
running of the line which she has asked
for. Along through Big Valley, the line
between townships 3S and SO is now
recognized as the dividing line between the
two counties. Heretofore the southern
part OF Surprise Valley has been conceded,
by the officers of this county, to be in
Lassen county, and the officers, revenue
and otherwise. of that county, have been
permitted to exercise jurisdiction there
without question. Mr.. Mimic, however,
who was engaged last year surveying fr
the Governm mt in that section of the
county, has Informed US, that if the line
between the two counties correspon ds with
the line between sections 80 aud 80 of the
U. S. surveys, no part of Surprise Valley
is IN Lass, county. But whatever may
be the effect of runniI the line on the
territory heretofore supposed to belong to
the one or the other county, we hope to see
the survey speedily made, and the line
established by competent authority. When
this is once done, persons will no longer
have the pretext for refusing to pay their
take. that they are not demanded by the
officer OF tbe proper cousty.-[ Yreka

"WHAT KNOW &c."-An Oregonian
bought a farm densely ovrergrown with
elders, and commenced clearing it for crop
ping The confounded brush kept coming
up just as fast as he could cut it down, and
all his efforts to stop it were unavailing.-
At last he thought perhaps he had taken
hold Of it at the wrong time of the year, so
he concluded to write to the New York
Tribune about it. He asked the white
hated philosopher: "What is the best
time to cut elders ?" In the next number
of the paper, the sage of Chappaqua an
