Sow \ Richmond Man Missed 4
Fortune.

4 gentleman well-known in this CITY,
who owned, until recently, a tract of
land i'll California, missed fortune III
the sale Of it short time since. in this
wise:
He Wa core spondel with b. the
officials OF railroad company in Cali
fornia, who are building railroad in
the said State. relative to the purcha e
Of his land which lay on the route
through which they proposed to build.
The Richmond gentleman was offered
the sum Of $50, 900 for the land, and
thinking this a good price for it (Which
by the way was of mountainous ma
ture>r he accepted the proposition. -
The railroad company, shortly after the
purchase, concluded that they would
have to tunnel portion of it, and COM
menced operations to that effect. They
bad not progressed a very great dis
lance, before they struck rich and
beautiful ore, which upon examination
proved to be silver. Speculative par
ties interviewed the railroad officials,
tested the silver, aud offered the COM
pany $1,000, 900 for the tract. The
company thinking that this speck beat
railroading sold out. 1t is said that
the parties who last purchased are now
in possession and working one of the
richest Silver mines in all California.
The above is vouched for by one Of
our most reliable citizens, and we are
in possession of the name of the gen.
tleman who lost the fortune. -lSfate

y WasLiu.to ton telegram to the New
York Tribune Of Saturday, says:
The desperate strait to which the
Encouragement of Secretary Richard
son has brought the Treasury, has at
last been confessed. The Secretary.
seeing his greenback reserve, which
he is putting in circulation in violation
of the plain letter Of the law, dwind-
ling day by day, SO rapidly that it is
only to tell Just how Tie balance
will last, comes to Congress with ar
appeal for moro taxes to rcpIcnish the
empty vaults. Al the close OF bust
ness a. the Treasury Department yes
terday, tins outstanding circulation
was over 1919, OO1, 900 or $500, 900
more than is authorized by law.
The finances Of the Government are
in such IN unhappy plight that the
TrcasureTs are oyerlr1wn III every
direction. ana there is not an available
dollar in The Treasury outside Of what
is termed the reserves, except the
gold II Gil She disbu.sinc yficcs
should draw their balances, the Gov
eminent would go to protest for want
of currency; nor would it faro lluch
better ii all its gold liabilities should
be presented for payment, including
the January coupons and the go, 600, =
600 loan Of 1858, falling due on that
date, for which the holders can de-
mand coin instead of the five per cent.
bonds provided for their REDEMPTION,
if Trey choose.
Mr.. Richardson is at the end OF his
tether. He must have more money,
and the people must be taxed to fur
nish it. He wants about $40, coo, 900
more of annual income, he informs
the Ways and Means Committee, and
he proposes that it shall be raised by
|. the restoration Of taxes abolished, as
no longer needful, and by the increase
of other taxes, reduced not long since,
because they were thought unneces-
sarily high. The tariff on tea and
coffee he wants restored the tax on
whiskey increased ten cents q gallon,
and that on tobacco four cents pound
If this does not produce the required
amount he recommends the revival
of the tax on the gross receipts of rail
ways and express companies, and the
whole of the former schedule 3. IN
less the bill which the Committee will
probably report in accordance with
these recommendations, is made a
party measure and whipped through
the House it will be hotly contested
on the Republican as well as on the
Democratic side, and the Secretary
will not be likely to get his money in
time 10 save him from insolvency.

PuzZling Cereal.

\ new cereal has been grown il Ore
gon which has puzzled the farmers, as
it is unlike any grain with which they
are familiar. From seven to ten stalks
grow from one root to height of about
four feet, and these stalks, or straws,
are thin and hard. Tho radicals are
tough and spread widely. The heads
are six inches in length and covered
with heavy bead, each filament being
five inches in length. The grain is
twice the length of grain of wheat.
and, instead of being firm and compact
is hollow, the cavity containing glsti-
nous matter. While the grain bears a
closer resemblance to wheat than to
any thing alse, the straw looks more
like that of rye or barley. It's origin
is somewhat peculiar. the first grain
having been taken from the stomach
of wild goose by farmer in ITALIA
nook county nearly three years ago.
He was struck with its appearance and
planted it, and the succeeding season
sowed the product. He distributed
portion of the second crop among a
few friends in different parts of the
State, who this year raised small guam
titles. It will require another year to
determine the value of the grain.

it would drive the money out of the
