A MAMMOTH FIELD.-Bishop Dogget,

seventeen miles long, and when the
owner plows it he starts the plows

when night comes, stops and camps out,
and plows back the next day. Our farmers
may form some idea from this Of what
farming in California is.

out nor given to the collector for nearly
two years-that is since the new ordinance
went into operation.
Mr.. Guy-Then the Clerk of the Council
has been derelict in his duty. L had sup
posed when he read out on council night
that The accounts had taken the usual
course. &C., that they had been made out
and put in the hands of the collector.

up Mr.. Evans said the the condition of

shameful on account of snow not being re-
moved from the sidewalks, and the police
had failed to report it. He had determined
at the meeting tonight, not to vote for the
payment of the police salaries, as it was
his belief that when officers didn't do their
duty they shouldn't be paid for doing it,
but he had been Informed by Chief Parent
that the matter should be promptly atten-
ded to.
Mr. Witz-The streets in other parts of
the city are in the same condition.
Mr.. Evans-No policeman has the au-
thoritv to compromise his duties and make
DELAYS for the convenience Of citizens.
Mr.. Bagby-Is it the duty Of the police
to look after this after every snow ?
MI. Witz-They are paid to do it.
THE POOR.
The reports of the Overseers of the Poor
were received for January, Ward No. l.,
(Mr. Harlan), expanding $50 and Ward
No. 2, (Mr. Hudson), expanding S146.

pretty good showing.

THREADING ON THEIR DRESSES. young
man who wants to become acquainted with
the innermost workings of woman's
heart, will find a short route to it by tread,
ing on her dress, in fact the route is SO
short and tempestuous that it will make
his head swim. A Sunday school boy will
learn more of human nature in minute
spent in listening to the gathers Of her dress
rip, than any other boy will in year. We
remember well the Madonna face and the
genuine devotion of our gentle teacher
as, with bowed head she peeped I'M
derthe shorter catechism at the male teach
ers, and tucked up the stray curl or two
under her bonnet. Sugar wouldn't have
melted inthat girls mouIh-if boy hadn't
trod on her dress. She had on hoops and
we couldn't get our foot loose until she
had planted two or three pelts under our
ear. 1t gave us dangerous case of mumps
for a week. But she was nice girl, though
we see her husband carry his head one
sided sometimes now. WeknoW how it is.
The most impressive home lessons too are
often learned by treading on their dresses.
We trod on cousin s dress once while her
beau was in the room. We knew from the
way she said sit made no difference
a-t-a-l-l,'' that the debate would DO re-
sumed after the House adjourned. And
it was. Some of her arguments made
our ears ring. We shall always believe
those skirts had something to do with the
Eden disaster. according to all accounts
Adam got along very well as long as Eve
wore short dresses, but directly she got
skirts he had to move next door. We hate
to speak of a lady, who is dead, that way,
but we shall always believe that that w6
the way it happened. Even the maternal
bosom is liable to be thus unlocked, and
man may spend happy hours looking back
at the past and recalling the bright vision
of the angel face Of his sainted mother, in
trail, lowering over him with trunk
strap.
