FROM AURORA, NV, AND VICINITY
4 correspondent of the Union, writing
from Aurora, New, August 18th, gives
this intelligence:
The grand jury for the the July term
Of the District Court adjourned on Tues
day last. They made full examination
of the county buildings. books, accounts,
and bonds Of the county officers, and re-
ported them generally correct and kept
in a business-hke manner. The county
Jail they reported to be insecure, and re-
commended it to be made more secure.
They found a true bill against John
Stewart for the murder of Frank DuranG,
and also for jail-breaking. His trial has
been put off until the next term of the
court, in November next. They found
indictments against John Rooney, Lau-
RE, Culbertson and Mccoy for horse
stealing. Laurie is in the State Prison
from Austin. The other three have been
tried and found guilty, and will be SEN
fenced tomorrow; also, Rooney for Jail
brea1:ng, as lie pleaded guilty in court.
Collins, who was indicted for drawing q
deadly weapon, will be tried tomorrow.
This has been an interesting term of
court. There have been here two promi-
nent lawyers, Newman and Tompkins,
from San Francisco, who were engaged
in civil cases, P. Ready from Indepen-
dence, and Judge Wells of Carson. who
in the criminal cases made logical, elo-
quel.t and interesting pleas.
The farmers are busily engaged In
harvesting the crops of hay. grain and
vegetables. They are much larger than
last season, as much more ground has
been put Under cultivation, and the
quality of each is equally good They
have a good ready market for their
labor. Hay sells here for fifty dollars
per ton, wheat and barley for five cents
per pound, and onions and potatoes for
eight cents per pound. The latter could
be brought from California and sold for
q much less price, bat they are SO in
ferior to those grown in this county and
vicinity that tine people will not buy
them if they can get Nevada grown po-
tatoes. The farmers are very content
and well satisfied. There is no grum-
bling. as frequently, about failure of
crops and low prices. 1t is very salts
factory and encouraging to know how
much has been done by them in this
county in the last ten years, when there
was scarcely settlement in the county.
Now about all the agricultural land is
taken up and under a good state of cul-
tivation, and all by actual settlers, with
no land grabbers or spectators. Ma
sons Valley was at that time scarcely
known. Now it is considered the rich
est valley in the county, if not the rich
est in the State, not excepting Carson |
Valley. They have public school here,
kept by an efficient and satisfactory |
Mrs. Higgins, with over twenty
i've pupils in regular attendance, and
to the satisfaction of parents |
and teacher. They have laid out town |
in the valley which is rapidly being
settled, with lots selling at liberal prices,
md the town as lively with business
md activity as any in the county.

ALFALFA II SANTA BARBARA.-A cor
respondent of the Santa Barbara Index
says: Mr., Kellogg, at the Patera, has a
patch o. alfalfa about half an acre, grow
ing near the stage road, in the bed of the
river that has been swamped about three
years, and the green feed it produces is
very acceptable to the owner. But. to
the surprise of the unenlightened, it has
done wonderfully well on the hard. adobe
soils of the Patera and near the foot
hills. Mr.. Williams, farmer on the
grant, Just above Birabent's tavern,
sowed in the year 1872. a ten acre lot Of
alfalfa on q very hard adobe soil. In
that wear il did not amount to much.
but in 1873 it has nearly killed out the
mustard, the malva and the cookie burrs,
and he has not only moved it twice
since March, but in August (the present
he is pasturing on the green
field ten head of horses and cows. prov
ing it to be o great convenience and
source of much profit to the owner.
Racollect this is on the tough, original
blue, alkaline, adobe Land, in two years.

heavy, clay soil before in California, with |
,u. irrigation. In garden near the place |
If Williams, three or four rows, in the |
anne heavy, clay soil, was planted In |

volunteered from the roots, has fed

gtivss q hr. b. u. shaw, Of this place, whs
reside in that vicinity.
Learning that the Doctor wished to sell biz
arm. and as he desired to purchase, he drovs
down the next day 10 pay q visit to the Doctor
who lives short distance down the river. He
introduced himself there with the story that
be resided In the same town in Cayuga county
where the Doctors mother and relatives reside,
and was well acquainted with all the people
and current eVents Of the day connected with
the place. He had set out with the intention
Of going to Hillsdale, Mich, for the purpose
Of buying farm in that vicinity, and settling
upon it. AtCleveland he fell into converse
ton with gentleman, who advised him to
abandon the idea Of going to Hillsdale, and
recommended him to buy q farm somewhere
between Norwalk and Toledo, and he stopped
here, knowing that the Doctor lived near this
city.
Il appeared evident from his conversation
thaths was well acquainted with the vicinity
whore the Doctors people lived, and his story
was well calculated to inspire confidence in
the man. A bargaia was finally consumated
for the farm, stock and considerable Of the
personal property, the transfer 20 be made as
soon ss his money should reach here, which
he was TO telegraph for that day.
He came to the city in company with Judge
Greene, son in law Of Dr.. Shaw, for the pur-
pose Of sending the dispatch. Before going to
the telegraph Office he decided to remain over
Sunday, but remarked that his apparel was
hardly suitable to appear in public, on the
Sabbath, and if Judge Greene would loan him
fifty dollars, he would array himself in more
becoming manner. He was Accommodated with
the money, and went in pursuit of the tele-
graph Office. Later in the day he went to the
Probate Office, and stated to the Judge that
he had sent the message and wanted twenty
five dollars more A short time after the
Judge began to reflect on possibilities, and the
longer he reflected the more he became con-
vinced that the illustrioas stranger was q
counterfeit. He went at once to the different
telegraph offices, and ascertained that Mr..
Harris had sent no message.
Shortly after, he found Harris and present.
ed to him the irregularities of the proceedings
and the wisdom of explaining. The stranger
the propriety of waiting until Mon
day, but the Judge was all ready TO adjust
then, and went with him before Mayor Dick
inson. He plead guilty TO the charge of OBJ
aiming money under false pretences, and was
bound over in the sum Of Eve hundred dollars
10 appear at the next term of court. In de-
iault Of bail he was taken to jail, where he is
1t the present time. He is not willing that
lis friends should be apprised Of his situation,
1ut seemingly has no aversion to the conflne-
nent. He presents all the characteristics of |
N enigma. If he was laboring under mental |
.berration, there was certainly method in his |
madness; and If he acted in his right mind, he |
certainly INDUCED in an eccentric speculation. |
Possibly something will come to light in the |
uture that win moro clearly define his mo-
ives.

At Hand.-The millennium must certainly
be coming in somewhere on the hons stretch,
OF, to use language less hgurative, it must be
near at hand. For five weeks not a female
book agent has besought rs with captivating
smile to subscribe for q copy Of the Deaf Nor
wsgian and his blind Hungarian Bride, OF q
similar WORK. Only one insurance agent has
bowed himself in, and fortunately he had the
phthisic and couldn't talk much. Not pat.
ent right nor medicine man has tormented
rs, and epidemics in other forms have been
equally as scarce. The temporary relaxation
has 50 far restored US, that new man with
nothing but the endowment plan. could get
hold Of mighty big risk BY approaching US,
but the company would need new agent; in
fact We have no doubt but that if q female
book agent Of experience and ability should
solicit our order for a book, we would take the
entire edition at once, and pay cash in advance,
which Of itself is evidence that something IN
usual has occurred.
