CHINESE LEAvING.-For three or four
weeks past, the stage for Shasta has been
crowded every trip with Cinnamon. Up

parts of the State, were making general
stampede for the recently discovered gold
mines in the lava beds near Orovlle,
Butte county. The Orovlle Mercury, of

from five to eight thousand Cinnamon at
work in the lava beds.

barge line took treights for seventeen

the increasing competition will drive rates

can not say, but we believe that the barge

minds to compete for the freighting of the
Mississippi river in dead earnest, and no
longer permit themselves to he a party to a
high freight compact and agree not 10

We have not the separate stocks OF PORK
AT different points, for last year, say March.
1879: Int ali those engaged il the provision
trade recollect the heavy stock OF tblcago'
about !2;J, 600 barrels of pork, with estimate
then of 80, 000 barrels of pork at the other
places u the West.
You will perceive under the above hSures
that the stock of pork at this time, March,
1873. is smaller at all points than any time
previous since 1863, ard with foreign ana
domestic demand at least twenty per cent
larger this than last year. Under the past
and present rate of consumption OF porh,

1872, and a continuation OF this large de-
nand for four months more. there VIII rot
be left any stock OF them on hand by the
first Of August, exclusive. of course. o! sum-
mPr cured meats.
We find at present in the West the total
stock OF pork Of 100000 barrels on hand,
and leayin out the whole West eOnsump-
ton, we believe the Southern States will
take the whole of this before October. Tor
the following reasons:

II 900 barrels per month to OCTOBER. ".N

IMPROVEMENT IN GRATEs.-Mr. J. NJ.
Woodcock, OF Bridgeport, o., has obtain.
ed a patent for an Antl.dust, Smoke con.
Stunning fireplace CRATE. This improve
ment consists In making a CRATE in de.
tached parts. The back part, in the rear
Of the fire, has journals on the ends so as
to give It an oscillating, vertical and
horizontal motion, by which ashes can be
freed from that part Of the fire and cause
1t to burn freely. There is an air.passage
all along the back Of the crate which
takes up all the dust, entirely preventing
1t from escaping from the fireplace,
This CRATE back, at a trifflng expense,
can be put in the rear of CRATES now in
use. The bottom CRATE has horizontal
and rocking motion for clearing it Of
ashes without the use Of poker as with
other CRATES. As remedy for smoky"
chimneys and dusty nantes the patentee
will warrant his crate and let it be tested
before receiving pay for it.
