SINGULAR AcCIDENT.-Dr. G. W.
Gardiner informs us that one of the men
employed in repairing the telegraph line
above the Tower House, was severely in
jured on Monday last. He had climbed
up one of the poles and affixed the wire,
and was hauling it taut when the top of
the pole broke off, striking him in the
face and dashing him senseless to the
ground. Our informant did not learn
the mans name.
VISITING Us.-Mr. Ryan, of the Ante
lope Mills, and Brit. De Shields, for the
past seven years County Clerk of Tehama
county, have been paying our town visit
Mr.. Ryan on business and De Shields
in pursuit of health. Brit had to be lifted
into the buggy when he left Red Bluff,
but few days of our bracing climate and
good water have worked wonders with
him and he can do some tall travelling
now.

ed with anecdotes Illustrative of the in
stinct Of the Fox, and we beg to add our
contribution. Last Saturday we saw an
old "black" Fox and young fox,
mounted upon horse which was plod-
ding leisurely along the road If the Fox
has not been tanned, he has evidently no
fear of the human race, as he did not offer
to take to cover" as We approached.
OUR DANCE.-The ladies turned out
in force at the party last Friday night,
there being nearly thirty present. Gen
tlemen were not as plenty as this mum Der
of ladies would indicate, but the height
of the mining season is now on and "bus-
iness before pleasure" is the miners mot
to. The dance was a very enjoyable al
fair, however, If we are to take the testi-
mony OF all who were present.
THE FRUIT CRoP.-From present ap-
pearances the fruit crop of this county
will be one Of the largest ever grown.

there will be heavy crop Of all kinds of
fruit.
