to the potatoes, the beets, carrots, turpips,
onions, &c. Doubtless most Of the exhibitors
of these products will fnd their names in the
premium list, inasmuch as the competition
was not general. We had supposed this
valley was a superior section for the produc-
ton of root crops, hut if SO this fair failed to
bring them out. We noticed several traoes
of seed corn Of excellent quality few speci-
mems of grain, beans, peas, &c. If we had
not last week interviewed larger and ap-
parently better exhibition of those products
at the County fair we could doubtless have
more fully appreciated those at Waits6eld.
The display in the mechanic arts was mea-
gre. Cecil Graves exhibited the Washington
County Milk Pan, and kept the model in
consts mt work showing its excellencies. It
will prove formidable rival to the Jewett
pan, and in several respects has decided
advantage over that. Dairymen should ex-
anime closely the merits of this pan, and we
are convinced they will see the advisability
of substituting it for the smaller pans in COM
mon use. J.T. Perry showed farm wagon
of his own make that won much commenda-
ton, and Woods Mower, about which gath
cred all the farmers. There there was the
Warrior Mower by NJ. X. Goodspeed. Su-
gar Evaporator, by e. A. Newoomb, Clap

Esq, stood first and foremost in numbers and
quality. As all the fine Durhams- and they
are seen on every hand lin the valley have
sprung from this herd, and Mr.. Jeslyn and
his father before him are entitled to so great
credit for introducing, improving and per-
petuating this notable herd, We shall be par
doned for lingering admiringly about the
pens containing those animals. First, there
is two years old bull weighing 1870 lbs,
next the yearling bull, 6" Gen. Watt" that
has pedigree to boast about. then another
two years old bull, then fine bull calf, a
pair of perfectly matched steer calves, eight
fine heller calves, five superior cows, such
as only Joslyn can exhibit. two two years old
beifers and three yearling heifers. We saw
Mr.. Joslyn's herd in their yards last March,
and the entire lot were looking quite as well
that this wide-awake and progressive farmer
had recently sold pair of yearling steers
weighing 1850 pounds and two heifers OF
1880 lbs. weight. These cattle were sold to
Massachusetts man, who appreciates the
best of stock. and is willing to pay fair
price therefor. Mr.. Joslyn also exhibited a
yoke of five years old cattle that would draw
q premium anywhere, either as matched or
as fat cattle-and still those oxen had drawn
ninety tons of hay the past season. But
friend Joslyn is not the only exhibitor Of
Durhams. James II. Baird showed the finest
three years old bull on the ground, while
John G. Gleason, George E. Carroll, Moses
Palmer, A. B. G. Davis, NJ. s. Strong and
G. B. Evans had Durhams not to be sneezed
at.
In matched oxen and steers the COMPETE
tion was general, and the display very fine.

! SODA SpRINGs.-A gentleman who has
been rustIcating for some time at Soda
| Springs sends us these items:
Fishing has been excellent in this local
/ ity this season. Bailey, who keeps rec
ord of his sue, ess. has caught during the
Spring and Summer three thousand one
hundred and eighty-two brook trout, forty
one grills and number of salmon. He
caught all these with hook and line.
Hunting is fine here. Mr.. Blair who
has been stopping here some time has kill
ed number of deer lately and Sam Shoe
maker killed black Bear at the mouth of
Little Castle Greek few days ago.
Lower Soda Springs are Oh Soda Creek
some two or three miles from the Siskiyou
line and 10 Shasta County. The place is,
and always was, healthy, and the Springs
are universallJ commended for their excel
lent medicinal qualities The surrounding
scenery cannot be excelled for beauty and
sublimity by anyother locality on the Coast.
Castle Rock is located about two miles in a
westernly direction from the Springs, aud
its many crags and peaks, some of which
are $500 feet in high,h, makes grand
and magnificent view. Castle Lake LAYS
just back of the Rock 1t is one mile long
and half amile wide and its depth in the cen.
ire is I47 feet. Its ice-cod water abounds
with the finest of trout. Fifteen miles due
north from here old Shasta Butte lifts his
snowy crown amid the clouds Fifteen
miles off to the eastward is McCloud river
splendid fishing stream. So you see this
is altogether a fine and favored locality.
The only thing needed to make this
very popular place for public resort is cap
ital to fit up proper buildings and grounds
By the way, Bailey, who owns the Springs,
a hundred and sixty acres Of good land,
and couple of toll bridges across the Sac
ramento, offers to sell half interest 10 all
this property for $1,000. When the rail.
road comes by here the property will be
worth $4,000.

the Alta suggests to Judge Field and
his contreres who are revising the Code
that it would be wei! to provide that the
name of every man who did not vote at a
general election be omitted from the next
Great Register. Then each registry would
contain the name only of those who have
been living here within two years. Ii
would cease to he a record of those long
dead or absent. Some men-not many
omit to vote through necessity. Such
men would have to be re registered
Such law would stimulate voters to dc
their duty 1t would be easier to vote
than be re-registered. The inconvenience
would be overbalanced by the beneficial
result to the many.

TOWNSHIP NO I.
DESTRUCTIVE FEKE1.

The town of Reading has suffered ter
rible calamity 10 the shape ola destructive
conhagration. At about / o'clock Wed
nesday night, fire was observed burst Do
from out of Klctz's building fronting Cai
fornia street, ard used by Miller as a store,
age room for furniture. When discovered
the fire was beyond control, and in few
minutes the adjoining building, Croftou 5
two story house, was enve.oped 10 mass OF
flames and quickly crumbled to ashes at
the touch of the Fire-Fiend. Clofton s
dwelling, G. c. Bush Il Co large store w
Williams store, Leroy's boarding house,
Wellendorff's Drug store and an adjoining
building, owned by Klotz, soon caught fire
and fell before the destroying clement
So rapid was the confagration that compar-
atively nothing could be saved from these
buildings. 1t was only by the aln ost su-
perhumtn exertions of the citizens that the
fire was prevented from crossing Butte
street and destroying the entire upper por-
ten of the town. Knox & McDonad's sa-
loon and Craddoek's Livery stable were
highly heated up, but were prevented from
catching fire by the hard work and vigilance
of crowd of active men and the favorable
direction of what little wind was stirring
Mrs. Merits house and the butcher shop
90 Market and Yuba, were scorched, but
escaped destruction
We have been unable to learn the en-
tire loss or the amount of insurance, but
are informed that the total loss is between
$4,000 and 100000 and that it is only
partially covered by insurance. 1t is stated
that C: c. Bush & Co. has lost in the neigh
borhood ofSl5, 900 above insurance; We'll
lendorff looses S400 over insurance, and
Leroy was not insured Klotz is heavy
looser, Miller looses $500, Webb looses
$1,000 in lumber.
The fire is supposed to be the work Of
an incendiary, and is truly deplorable ca
lamity.

LOOK CURVE learn that party of
three men, tramps, who have been plum
dering the various towns and stopping
places on the stage road in Oregon all the
way up from Portland are now in Californ-
la. They robbed Beck man house in jack
sonvile, one at Ashland, and also one lust
the other side of Cottonwood, yesterday
friday morning. They were seen on
the road between here and the klamath
river on Friday afternoon, and no doubt
are among us now. We therefore advise
our citizen to keep their doors shut and
their eyes open. IF we were the gents re-
ferred to, we would either keep right on
without stopping or turn back Immediately.
