PRoDIGIoUs.-On our table hes stalk Of rhu-
barb, from the garden of Mr.. John Fogarty,
which rather eclipses for size and quality any
specimen Of the plant we have ever before seen.
The stalk Is FIVE inches III circumference and
from the root to the top of the leaf rne;ssttres
forty-three inches The leaf itself treasures
twenty-four by twenty-five inches. This cer-
tainly deserves to rank among the hutnerous
specimens Of California trodgious vegetables.
This stalk came not alone, but accompanying it
WAS large bunch o: neatly trimmed stalks of
the same plant, equal in quality and nearly
equal in size to the above. Accept our thanks

Our Cattle show and fair on the 1st and 2d inst. was quite success. The exhi- bition of Cattle was larger and finer thal. usual; that of Grain, Fruit and Vegeta- bles, was not large but of excellent quail ty. There was the usual horse trotting on the second day and by way of vari ety some excessive tipping. John Carol be- came so eager for fight that he made an attempt and was arrested. His father in trying to assist him resisted the officers and both were taken before Justice Mar tin, pleaded guilty, and were fined, the fines and costs amounting to about $46. John was also sent to the county board ing house for fifteen days. ENo.

 ''The Waters Concerto Parlor Organs.- We are glad to chronicle any new thing, or any improvement upon an old one, that tends to popularize music by rendering it's study either easier or more attractive.

The suspicious of the seleetmen of this town have been recently aroused to the fact, of short returns from the town col 1ector, Herman Clark. On Saturday they made a thorough overhauling of his ac- counts, and his own books show that he has received g, ,399, ,57 more than he has paid into the town treasury. MT. Clark is prominent Democrat in this place, and has been for many years one of their Registrars of Voters, and one of the loud est-mouthed denouncers of Repu6licdn corruption. The leading Democrats had happened into Aliens, Sunday night, and were organizing 8 general raid for the capture of the town offices the next day, when one of Clark $ bondsmen burst in with the astounding announcement of his dedication. The blow broke up the meet ing and capsized the party completely. Mfr. Clark had the Democratic nomination for registrars of electors but was quietly dropped and Sheriff Alien chosen in his place. Liberal Republicans in pursuit of Gan honest administration of public af- fairs" seem allittle discouraged. pala 8b
