Effects OF the North Wind in YoIo.

The Yolo Mail Of the 18th instant
says: "The very strong and some-
times severe north wind, which COM
menced blowing on Sunday night,
June It'll, ceased on Sunday, June l4th.
We note this particularly, because it is
one day ahead of anything of the kind
for length of time, which has hap
pened since we have been in the town
of Woodland-five years. We have
known of its blowing six days in sue
cession, but never before for seven. A
part of this time the wind was COM
paratively cool; but on Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday last the heat was in
tense--the thermometer on Sunday
reaching as high as 102 degrees in the
shade. The effect of this wind has
been to mature the early wheat very
rapidly and to injure some of the late
by premature ripening. The harvest
has been fastened at leasta week, and
we may expect to hear of busy time,
in consequence of the scarcity of help.
We have paid particular attention to
one field of wheat near town, Of some
one hundred acres, which one week
ago looked green and growing, but
now exhibits golden hue and is ready
for the header. Much of the grass,
which looked green upon the ground
when the wind commenced, is now as
dry as finder and would be good food
for the flames. The alfalfa alone has
stood the dreadful scourge 1t may,
for day or two, look sickly under
such severe parching, but recuper-
ates in a very short time.

Young Sacramento woman sued

A young Sacramento woman sued
for divorce from her husband but
according to her way of thinking her
attorney was too slow, as she was in
haste to marry resident of Gold
Hill. A second lawyer was engaged;
the first discharged; the divorce pro-
cured, and the parties mentioned were
united in wedlock. The happy couple,
when about to depart from the city,
were stopped by an attachment upon
the newly-made husband by the first
LAWYER to secure legal fees.

In the late Ashantee war, in regions

In the late Ashantee war, in regions
where the drinking water was nOtori-
ously unwholesome, sulphate of alum
ina was added to the water, and by
this means the organic and other i'm
purities were precipitated, leaving the
water cO'orless and perfectly whole

all impure water, and should be le-
membered and acted upon where 1T

Talk of growing grain is over for
this year. Spring is ended, and Sum-
mer opens with golden treasure.
Never has there been so much said by
the press of the growing crops as dur
ing the Spring just closed. 1t seemed
that the papers We'd with each other
in showing up the condition of the
crops. Much of the late grain, which
it was thought would not pay for the
cutting, will yield from twelve to fiji
teen bushels to the acre, and some not
expected to go over this amount will
go eighteen to twenty bushels per
acre. The average crop will be fully
twenty-five bushels to the acre. Much
of our grain will make forty bushels.

A New Variety Of Wheat.

Mr.. McCarty brought to our office
yesterday some curious specimens of
wheat grown on Mr.. Beaudry's place
near the city. The heads are very
large, containing from seventy to
eighty grains each, having on either
side smaller heads protruding from
the main one. The grain is small,
white and flinty and heavily bearded.
The stem is of usual size, but woody
and solid throughout, very unlike the
ordinary wheat-straw. Only few
stalks were grown, and they of their
own planting so far as known. They
grew in field of ordinary wheat, and
while the other was effected with
rust, this grain is perfectly sound.
The specimens resemble Egyptian
wheat in some respects but are pro-
nounced not of that variety by parties
to whom they have been shown. We
would be glad if some of our farmers
would call at the HERALD Office and
give their opinion on the still open
question. Mr.. McCarty has about u
quart of the grain and proposes to
plant it another season so as to pre-
serve the variety.

Tells Seaside House is becoming q
place of popular resort for the young
folks Of the city. On Sundays large
parties go down and have good time
bathing in the surf, fishing and boat
riding. Last Sunday boat race took
place which was won by J. Keertz.
The boom of the boat, commanded by
Will Tell, swung around and knocked
a man overheard and upset the boat,
which, of course, gave the race to the
other boat. Boat racing, both sailing
and rowing, takes place every Sunday,
and the dinners which Mr.. and Mrs.

The Star of yesterday morning was
slightly in error in its article on the
cutting of timber from public lands, in
which the inference was that when
parties had become possessed of lands
by declaration or presumption they
were entitled to cut wood therefrom.
ihis is not the case; and only after
becoming the bona tide owner of the
land by the payment of purchase
money to Government, is the holder
entitled to remove the timber. This
should be well understood by every
settler, as it involves a question of
some Importance and may lead num-
bers of settlers into difficulty, with no
intention of wrong doing on theirpart.

Anton Tomansini has presented to
the Library beautiful specimen of
white coral, taken from one of the
small islands off the coast. 1t is about
sixteen inches in length by four or
five in width, the under side cOncave
and the upper correspondence shape
and covered with closely set SPURS or
upright scales. The specimen is quite
heavy, and the interior, shown where
it has been broken in two, has
the appearance of white quartz.
The most curious thing about it that
when first taken from the water it was
quite flexible but now is as hard as q
piece of granite.

An Athenjan Artist.

We clip tho following notice Of a for
mer citizen Of Athens from the Rich
mond Enquirer. The writer is noticing
tho works of the several artists now in
that city:
j. Fisher has just finished a por-
trait of Governor Cabell, and is busy
touching up his bacchanalan picture
which was commenced some years ago.
lie expects TO have it ready for exhibi-
ton by the last of this month, conse.
quently we defer description Of il.
lie has also finished another head Of
Christ in crayon, which he proposes to
use as a study to paint from, The con-
ception is the noblest we have ever
looked upon, and the execution is mar
vellous. Following somewhat the Rem
brandt style, the light radiates from be-
hind the head, throwing it out grandly
and boldly. The expression of the
countenance is an artistic blending of
intellectualism snd beatitude Of power
and purity; Of thought and tenderness.
In the eye the whole soul Of the God
man seems visible. Impartial criticism
has classed this head with those of Car
10 Dolce and Guido Reni-two masters
whose names are immortal. In the first
head Fisher made there were some de-
fccts in the arrangement Of the hair,
which were open to criticism. In the
one just finished these defects have
been entirely remedied, and now it
stands before us without blemish, tell
ing tho whole story Of him who died
like God.
An eminent Massachusetts divine,
writing OF the first head, says: ut Is
the finest have known on this CONT
nent. The eyes are altogether the most
wonderful ever saw. | do not think
they can DO bettered, and the brow ap-
pears to mo very noble. Should such
Man appear anywhere aud begin to

propose TO treat the subject with the
fullncss IL inertia.

of whose efforts are so ravorably refer.
