MAGALIA, Nov. IL, 1874.

above the Sacramento Valley, and oil
course could not be otherwise than
healthy.
We have had no cold weather yet
but an immense amount of rain has
fallen in the last eight or ten DAYS.
The sky again is blue and cheerful
however, and we hope to be favored
with fine weather for time. j have
felt no cold weather since / left

The mining business is still carried
on here and with considerable success.

men are busiy engaged in the work
and If they can pan out six bits "
(75 cents per day, they think they
are doing a :" land office business.
There has been great deal OF
freighting across the mountains this
season; but the recent rains have
stopped the freight teams, and our dis
tant friends living in the snow region
will be obliged to carry their grub to
their quarters on snow-shoes before
spring as consequence Of their refus-

September, and will not, until spring,
work my claim which is about three
quarters of mile right down the
mountain from this town, on what is
called West Branch. The road to it is
a mere trail, wide enough for one per-
son to walk comfortably upon, When
two or more are in company we must
go in Indian fashion--single file. The
trail is very steep and hard to climb,
but there is an individual here who
carried Nugget of gold weighing fl fly
four pounds up the trail. It was quite
little fortune for one man.
Deer are beginning to make their
appearance here in all directions on
their way to the foot hills to spend the
winter.

PATRoNIzE HOME INSTITUTIONS,
home manufactures, home produce
tons, industries and business Of all
kinds, is a good rule. IL you are in
any business dependent particularly
upon home patronage you believe i'm
the rule, or one side of IL, at least, do
you not? OF course you think It alto
gether wrong for your neighbors to
to send away to another town or city
to buy an article in which you deal
because they can buy 1t n little cheap
or abroad I'm large quantities for cash
down, than they can from you in
small lots on credit You are right
II is all wrong, and such a system is
destructive to any community. But
remember it Ia as wrong for you to do
so as 1t Is for your neighbors. If you
are merchant you have a right To
complain Of the butcher from whom
you buy your steak, the barber who
shaves you, your shoemaker. doctor,
lawyer, printer, and tailor, If they buy
their groceries and dry goods in other
towns. But consider the other side.
Do you not send your money away
from home for work aud goods not i'm
your own business line, which you
should procure Mt home? Upon this
point the Marshalltown Times has the
following;
The Times has never advocated
sending of for goods that could be OH
tained at home, but has advocated,
and still does, the contrary. But we
know, and have the names of business
men who send off to Chicago for most
of their printing, because they ctaiD,
they can get IL done cheaper. and yet
these very men denounce the farmer
for sending abroad for his goods. Con-
sistcncy; and kind Of consistency
we don't admire and don't intend to
cover Therefore, we shall publish
at our convenience the names Of these
parties, believing that hypocrisy
should be exposed. We make no
complaint because we don't get their
work; we don't ask any odds of them.
We are independent of them; but W.
complain because they practice Whist
they condemn in Others, and which,
IL all our business men should initiate.
would destroy our business and bank
rupt themselves. Pntroni2e home in.
situations is our motto, md especially
should those who are themselves de-
pendent on home patronage do this.

TRANSIT or VENUS occurs on the

York time. The planet will consume
about four and a-half hours In passing
across the face of the sun. As 1t occurs
during our night, or while the sun is
on the opposite side of the earth from
us, it won't frighten anybody. TO
those on the other side Of our globe II

THE M. r.. CHURCH SOCIETY Of
this place have recently made some
substantial repairs and improvements
upon their parsonage property. They
are contemplating some material
change in the church edifice also dur
ing the coming year. Ii il yet an
open question whether they will tear
down the present house, which proves
inadequate to their wants, and erect a
new upon the same site, or repair the
old building, or sell the old building
and site and secure another location
for new edillce. At all events, we
are informed that they will at the
close of next year have a building that
will. meet their needs and be a credit
to the town. The Society Is amply
able to build good house, and we
hope will find encouragement to do so.
