has the following:

make the following estimate: At %

estimate for the prospect of the pres
cnt season-the yield will be ], COX, 600
bushels, or GO, OOO, 900 pounds. At 137
lbs. to the sack, it will require 437 900
sacks. At 800 tons per barge load, on
the Sacramento river, it will take one
steamer two years to deliver it to San
Francisco, allowing one trip per week,
and will take twenty ships Of 1900
tons each, to deliver it in England
But the most important calcu-
lation still remains to be made, especi-
ally to Mr.. Glenn, and that is the
calculation Of the net profit accruing
from the 81 ,O;O, 900 that it will bring
him on the ranch, at $l.OO per bushel.

Terrible and Fatal Acc ldeDt

One of the most heart rending acci-
dents We have ever been called upon 10

about 0 o'clock, at the residence of Mrs.
Louisa Skillman, about four miles north
of this city, resulting in the untimely
death of her son Edward Skillman, a
promising youth about 81 years Of age.
On Saturday evening, about the usual
time for the family to retire to rest. Mrs.
Sikllman with her son Allen youth Of
about fifteen years of age. as was their
usual custom, went out to lock the smoke
house, and other out buildings The boy
thought he heard noise in the smoke
house, and suspeeting that thieves or
burglars were arrouud he went to the
house, and brought out his rife to be pre-
pared for them. They searched but could
find nothing, and fastening the doors, were
returning to the house. Allen, still be-
ing suspicious that there was something
wrong, said to his mother that he would
shoot off the gun, as q warning 10 any
suspicious persons, who might be around.

with his finger on the trigger.
In the meantime Edward and ayounger
brother had been to Peru and returned
about tha: time. Putting up their horses
they were coming to the house. Divining
what they were about, Edward thought to-
have a little sport, and concealing himself
in corner of fence near another out
building, as Allen advanced, with cooked
gun, with his mother close behind, Edward
sprang out throwing up his hands, with an
exclamation. Allen, with his mird full
of the impression that burglars were
around, pointed the gun and fired, the
ball striking his brother in the breast, In.
flicting fearful and fatal wound. The
mistake was Immediately discovered, and
the scene that followed beggars descTip-
ton. A brother had fallen by the hands
of brother! The mother was presnt as
an eye witness of the appalling scene,-

7 o'clock, when death relieved him of his
suffering. He clung to life with the ut
mos1 tsnacity, assuring the afflicted fami.
Is, that he would certainly recover, and
doing all in his power to assuage the grief
of his youngest brother, by whose hands
he had fallen. but the stern will and Wig
orous frame had to yield to the fell de-
stroyer, and he is gone.
