Farming on q Large Scale.

Many ofthc farmers in California have grown
wheat enough this year to load thouSandton
ship, while a few have enough to load half
dozen ships of this size. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing to hear one Of these ranchers in
quiet way estimating his wheat crop as ran-
ging from 80 600 to 80 900 bushels.
The Napa Register notes L recent transaction
of one of the farmers of that county, as follows:
a farming enterprise on a scale that lays IN
shade most operations in that line has just
been entered into by our friend John Finnell, ut
Iountvlle, long resident and ex-Supervisor of
the county He has leased for y period of five
years the celebrated "Walsh Ranch" in Cou
Sa county, forty miles north OF the town of Co.
lusa, and eight miles West Of Chico, consisting
of 1000 acres, at yearly rental Of $4,000
In addition to this he has purchased 1000
head OF stock cattle, luU head of horses, 90
mules - 600 sacks of wheat, 800 hogs and
quantity of hay, barley, etc. His purchase,
aside from the rental, amounts to S14,2oO, Or
the transaction for the first year alone Sll4,-
25O 1t will take Il good farmer to manage all
this. and we doubt not Mr.. L. is just the man
for it, :> his we'll kept grounds at Iountsille
bear ample testimony
This farm is probably all arabic land, and is
within easy reach OF :; navigaole river. Two
dollars an acre seems an average price but
the aggregate makes it the largest rental prob
ably of any farm in California We have
sheep ranges covering 100000 acres, and one
or more firms of wool-growcrS estimate their
sheep :lt 100000. while several have iiocks rang
in: from 70 900 tn 10000 We have heard Of
one farmer in that State who estimates his
wheat crop this year at 20, 600 bushels There
may Lc others who will have larger amounts.

A LARGE CONSERVATIVE LIFTING.

Brown addressed an immense audience at the

alive by the renewal Of the agitation. He re-
a few days since, and said Maynard displayed
great ignorance, or else was too much Of a
partisan to confine himself to the truth.
Referring to Maynard's accusation of his con-
nection with the sale OF the Controllers Office,
he said it was a willfult and malicious SANDER
said Maynard exhibited the most umpardonab Bile
ignorance with regard to the debt OF the State.
Gov. Brown proved great reduction OF the debt
since the Conservative party got control of the

THE BURGLAR ALARM.

The non-political business men of New
Orleans say that the winding up of the revo-
luton and re-establishment Of Kellogg in
power, instead of bringing the confidence
that naturally follows peace, has had most
depressing effect upon all business. With
this statement comes the announcement of
the failure of heavy banking firm in New
Haven, Connecticut, with liabilities amounting
to 81, O0O, goo, mostly due to small depositors,
who will not recover more than forty cents on
the dollar. The cause of the failure is the
depreciation of Southern State and railroad
bonds. Perhaps at last the Northern people
will come to realize the charms of reconstruct
ton only through their pockets The robbers
who are now plundering the South are striking
at the whole country. The effect is of course
drst visible in the Southern State il which
they carry on their pillage; but those States
cannot become bankrupt without involving
the rest of the country, and when the full
effect is felt, other heavy Northern firms be-
sides this New Haven concern may be
swamped, and carry down with them the saw
ings OF other people. While the depositors of
the broken firm OF Townsend & Co. are wait
ing for their forty per cent payment, they
might proftably employ their leisure by in
vestgating the causes Of the depreciation of
Southern State securities, which has brought
such disaster upon them. There is no nerve
SO sensitive as that which runs to the bottom
of the pocket The thieves are very stealthy,
and the robbers are very bold in the South,
but they must touch the burglar alarm in the
end, and when they, too, do jingle the bell in
the North, the people up there will begin to
feel that they are not as secure as they fan

A SAD Cane.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 2.-Hrs. Julia Perkins, who
last Wednesday murdered her own child and at
tempted suicide, made another attempt on her
own life by stabbing herself in the throat with a
pair of scissors. Her death may soon ensue now.
The mystery gathers more thichly around the
affair every day.
Both parties were well connected here, and
each accuses the other of marital infideiity. The
tragedy excites intense interest. The mystery
enveloping it, and the mutual accusations Of each
other, together with conflicting rumors, keep the
public verdict measurably in suspense, while the
sympathy IS strongest for Mrs. Perkins.
