Mrs. Nancy X. Michaels, of San Jose,
reports that her son, Thomas W.Web-
ster, is missing. He is about thirty
five years of age, and came to Califor-
MIA in 1857. In 1867 he started for
Idaho, and has not since been heard
from.
Kuder g. Co. have struck fine gravel
at Saddleback, Sierra county. They
raised shaft fifty feet from their tun-
mel and struck a fine-looking bed of
river boulders and washed gravel.
They think they are on the rim of the

At Davisville, Tuesday, the stubble
in a field caught fire, and, owing to
the high wind, great damage was
threatened. Citizens turned out al
most unanimously to fight the fire,
and succeeded in preventing it from
doing injury.
Last Monday morning the Gardner
school-house, Dry Creek, Stanislaus
county, was destroyed by fire. A crowd
of ruffians visited the building on Sum-
day night, and it is generally supposed
that they either accidentally or mali
ciously set the house on fire.
John Sims will apply to the Marin
county Board of Supervisors on the

pany.
The wheat yield at Centreville is
not quite so heavy as was expected, 25
bushels to the acre being fair aver
age. Barley has done better. The
Chevalier variety stands at the head
of the row, running as high, in nu-
merous instances, at rs bushels, or
about $45 net per acre.
A gentleman who lately visited the
highest portion of the Sierras, in
Fresno county, where timber abounds,
found that in places fully one-third of
the pine trees had been struck by
lightning this season, and in many
places acre after acre of enormous
pines had been Frustrated by the fury
of some storm which has prevailed
there this season.

Fine Art.

Mr.. Chas. Kaiser, former resident
of Los Angeles, has just arrived in
this city from Ecuador, South Amer
lea, bringing with him magnificent
stock of oil paintings, which he pro-
poses to place in the market here. We
were yesterday favored with a look
through Mr.. Kaiser's gallery, estab-
lished in the new L. S. Hotel build
ing, corner of Requena and Los An
geles streets. The paintings are of
Italian, French and Spanish execu-
ton, and, for real intrinsic merit, we
doubt not, have never been equaled
by any stock of the kind ever brought
to Southern California. They are all
of large size, with designs illustrative
of historical, biblical and poetic sub
jects, and must contain some suited
to every taste.
Mr.. Kaiser will have his collection
ready for exhibition and sale proba-
bly, tonight or tomorrow, due notice
of which will be given through the
papers. For the present, an admis-
sion price of twenty-five cents will be
charged. The works will all be
numbered and catalogued, so as to fa-
cilitate the examination and sale.
After reasonable time, should the
paintings not all be disposed of at
private sale, the remainder will be
sold at public auction. We advise all
lovers of art to call at Mr.. Kaiser's s
room and examine for their own sat
isfaction this fine collection.

reasonable terms. For the informa-
ton of all interested we give the mat
ter publication.
In an Act of Congress passed April
5th 1872, Thomas Valentine received a
grant Of Government scrip for some
thirteen thousand acres of land which
could be located upon any public ter
ritory not mineral or occupied by pre-
vious settlers. This grant was made
upon certain conditions to be complied
with by Valentine, the principal of
which was the transfer by him to the
Government of an old Spanish grant
for which he held the title, and which
was found to comprise the entire site
of the city of San Jose. The condi-
tions were all complied with by Valen-
tine and in due form he received the
Government scrip. This land-thir-
teen thousand acres-is now in the
market, and can be purchased at the
rate of about ten dollars per acre.
Thus far only three entries have been
made of forty acres each, in the U. s.
Land Office at this place. Doubtless
more has been located in other por-
tions of the State, but a large part of
the grant must still remain intact. To
many parties coming here for the pur-
pose of locating farms, this property
may offer superior inducements. For
desirable agricultural lands ten dollars
an acre is reasonably cheap, and the
title is we'll assured, so that there will
never be disputes arising therefrom,
as in many cases.

ny HOOD ASTON
He sat In the hall with his head held down,
And his fists doubled up and his brow a-frown;
And wondered at this, for couldn't see
What could come 'twxt the Squire and me.
He was always a genial sort of fellow
With "How do you do ?" or "Hulloow
For every one that he happened to meet
That he happened to know in the busy street.
What is the reason? Wondered to see
The man so dumb as dog could be,
AS he lifted his head and looked at me.
"Good morning Squirrel A beautiful dayw
1 said to him In my usual way.
"Isead the papers The DEVILS to pay
Down in Brooklyn with Beeeher they say.
The scandals ablaze, like blazing fire.
The latest dispatch says that Tilton's a liar,
And not a whit better than him is his wife,
Who never yet uttered the truth in her life;
That's the special that rode on the WIRE"
said, in the face of my friend, the Squire
But not word did the Squire reply.
Twas mystery to me
What the matter co6ld be
That he didn't reply; but couldn't tell why.
"Tis pity that Beecher, the eminent
preacher,
her;
l am sorry for one and sorry for all,
Who through desert or doom are destined to
fall
Ry this scum of scandal that spreads like a
pail
over earth, sweeping on like a terrible fire"---
Continued I, dressing the reticent Squire.
"The fact OF 1t Is, 'tis a terrible thing
For the church and state. The Plymouth
ring
Is only the nucleus-only the spring
Whose filthy waters must down-hill flow
Carrying Beecher, whether or no;
The turbulent torrent still FLASHES along
Taking him down, whether right or wrong''-
Said l. and spoke of the mud and the mire
In hopes to get hold of my friend. the Squire.
care you ill?" said l; "Have you got cancer
Under your chin, that you fail to answer
Holding your neck, like a stiff pump-handle?
Or perhaps you're sick of the Beecher scan
dal?
Come, Squire, what's become of your usual
smile?"
Then he lifted his head and saw "bile"
Peeping out from place Just undershis chin
Big and red as peach, and as smooth as tin
1t had fretted the Squire till the Squire was
thin.
"Ah! pet!" said I, with a half-forced smile.
"a pet be blamedw said the Squire. This
bile
Has bothered my neck for terrible while;
And every time that open my Jaw
feel as If hell had broke loose in q thaw-.
That's WIat's the matter, If you want to know''
Then left the Squire as found him, so
Devotedly fondling his pet like q lover
Waiting in vain for the "bile" TO "bile" over.

REMEDY FOR HYDRoPHeBIA.-George
L. Beech, NJ. D., writes to the Boston
Globe, concerning hydrophobia, and
after giving some interesting informa-
ton as to the symptoms of disease,
closes with the following advice:
seWhat ought to be done when a
person has been bitten by q mad dog
First, be very sure that you waste no
valuable time running for doctor,
but go to work yourself, and as quick
ly as possible wash the wound with
water and soap-warm water is pref
erabIe, if it can be had without wait
ing. 1t is well to add a little spirits
ammonia. aqua ammonia (water of
ammonia), to the water; but do not
wait for it. What is to be done must
be done with as little delay as possi-
BILE. Next cauterize the wound with
muriatic acid poured upon and into II !;
but for fear it may not penetrate to
the bottom, the nitrate of silver in
sticks, Qunar canstic) is preferable.
Sharpen the stick of nitrate of silver
and push it down to the bottom of
the wound, and into each incision, an
deHtatiOn or laceFatioB, and hold it
there until every part of the wound is
most thoroughly cauterized. When
the pain of the caustic ceases the poi
SON will be destroyed. If the lunar
caustie cannot be readily obtained, let
q wire be used heated to a white heat
which plunge to the bottom of each
incisioA made by the dogs teeth. Do
not hesitate or fiRcb,-your life is in
jeopardy. Afterwards the part may
be cut out, if the surgeon thinks If adj
visable."
