SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.

By $3.50 A. M, a crowd began to
gather in the vicinity of the Bank of
California. Inside every prepare
ton was made for opening. The
President, Directors and members of
the Syndicate were on hand with
smiling faces, and looking as ii a
load had been lifted from their
shoulders. The President stated that
the bank was fully prepared to pay
all demands on presentation, except
such as been otherwise provided for,
and that there was no doubt of its
ability to go on with business with
out further difficulty. By 10 o'clock
the streets and sidewalks were jam
med with people. AT the appointed
hour the doors were swung open
amid the cheers of the crowd, which
at once made a rush, blocking the
space outside the counters. Evident
ly by far the larger proportion of
those present were lookers-on,
though the services of the tellers
were at once called into requisition,
and the counters were lined with
those presenting checks. 1t was ex-
pected that large demand would be
made upon the bank, not from want
of confidence, but simply from need
of coin, which had been so long
locked up.
At present writing the crowd is
surging in and out of the building,
flags are mast headed on California
street, and salute is being fired
from Meiggs' wharf. Coin is now
flowing both ways at the Bank Of
California, large amounts are being
deposited, and it is thought that tho
deposits during the day will equal
or perhaps exceed the payments.
The best of feeling prevails.

In ordinary cases it will not pay to give medi.
cine to sick fowls In the first place, but little
is known of diseases of poultry, and again there
nd an th OF g
so incOnsideTable that treatment will not pay
unless very simple and very successful. The
best course respecting poultry ailments is pre-
ventiOn. Try to secure such vigorous breeding
stock and such complete sanitary conditions for
all the birds at all ages, that illness will be rare.
Then the strength of constitution will be such
that any ordinary disease can be resisted with
ont the aid of medicine, if good nursing is given.
What we mean by nursing is this: Place sick
fowls in dry, sunny place, out of the wind, and
safe from disturbance. Then give them food ca
sy of digestion, such as mush, potatoes and meat,
every article cooked, and warm milk for drink.
If after all, they can't be made live, say to your

Our farmers are complaining that, within the
past few days, the chinch-bugs have been work
ing fearful ravages On the re-Piantsd corn, thou
sands Of acres of which is well up all over the
country. This is particularly the case where
the replanted fields adjOin wheat fields, the nat
ural harbor of the pests. In ordinary seasons at
this time of year, corn is several feet high, and
the 'boot" formed at the bottom of the blade,
and in which the bugs lodge, is sufficiently spa
cious to hold water enough to drown out the OBJ
noxiOus insects. Hence, in ordinary wet seasons,
little apprehension is entertained from chinch-
bugs. But the re-planted corn being of sufficient
size to afford this drowning space, the rains up
to Saturday seemed to have had bnt little effect
in abating the destruction. The delnges of wa
ter which have since ensued, seem to have af-
forded considerable encouragement to the farmer,
for the chinch-bug is incapacitated from working
when wet. We have not yet heard of the ap-
pearanee Of bugs in any corn fields remote from
wheat or stubble fields, and we have good rea-
son to believe that the floods of rain that have
fallen all over the country, and indeed, through
out the northwest since last Saturday evening,
have destroyed myriads of these pests.-H Joe

Worth Knowing.

One pound green copperas, costing seven cents,
dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down
privy, will effectually concentrate and destroy
the foulest smells. For water closets on board
ships and steamboats,, about hotels, and other
places, there is nothing so nice to cleanse and
purify as simple green copperas dissOlvad in wa
ter; and for sick rooms, it may be placed under
the bed in anything that will hold water, and
thus render hospital or other place where there
are sick persons, free from unpleasant smells.
For butchers stalls, fish markets, slaughter hous-
es, sinks, and wherever there are putrid and of
fensive gases, dissolve copperas and sprinkle it
about, and in very few days the "bad smell'
will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about
the house, and sends forth an offensive gas place
some dissolved copperas in cup or jar, any
where within smelling distance" and the cure
is sure. / have known stock of dry goods
which were nearly spoiled by = skunk under the
building, to be cleaned and restored simply by
sprinkling dissolved copperas on the ioOr.-Sd-

Good plan for Raising HOG.

In a recent number of the Farmers ViRdic1tOr
we find the following plan of raising hogs, given
by a correspondent, and we commend it to our
readers as one worthy of their consideration and
at least q trial:
Sow rye and oats in the Fall, for Winter and
early Spring grazing. Fence four lots, say two
acres in each lot; plant in whippoorwill peas, as
early as the weather will admit as soon as the
first lot comes in, turn your hogs on it; as soon
as they eat off the peas, turn them on the second
lot, and plant the first over, and 60 on in rota-
ton, raising two crops on every patch, and three
on the first. If the farmers of the State will try
this plan, they will build up their poor land; for
the pea is about the best subsOiler that can be
put in the earth; for with its long tap root, it
brings to the surface rich plant food that lays
buried deem in the earth

Filters.

In view of the fact that the water we drink is
not unlikely to be crowded with dangerous
germs, it seems the part of wisdom to adopt the
simple precaution suggested in our heading. A
portable filter may be made of a common stone
ware or earthen jar. The bottom is filled with
stones as large a goose egg, or is covered with
perforated slate slab, leaving a space to hold a
supply of filtered water. A faucet is fitted into
a hole bored through the side of the jar near
the bottom as may be. Over the slab or stone is
placed layer of coarse gravel, clearly washed I;
then layer of powdered charcoal, also well
washed, still another layer of sand, and then one
of coarse gravel, both WASHED perfectly clean.
The remainder of the space is for water. A COW
er or a wet cloth placed over the top excludes
dust. If n porous jar is used, the evaporation
from the outside during hot weather will keep
the contents almost ice cold, particularly if it is
kept in current of air. The same filtering ar
rangement may be applied to a cistern. At the
upper corner is the chamber into which the pipe
discharges The layers of material are gravel,
sand, and charcoal. As the filter will need to be
taken out occasionally to wash the contents, it
is well to make the chamber quite distinct, so
that access may be had to it at any time with
out disturbing the cistern or its contents.

brother Stone. Feeble Remarks.

Mr.. Stone, a Unknown and excellent Christian
gentleman, belonging to one of the Murray Hill
churches in New York City, was up IN the conn
try one summer aud learning that an evening
prsyer-meeting was in progress, at the village
church, walked in and took seat IN the BACK
part of the room.
The brother in the chair conducting the meet
ing, observing the stranger, left his seat, and
coming to Mr.. Stone, said to him:
"What is yOur nameT
my name is Stone"
"Where are you fromp
81 am from the city of New York"
Are you one Of the Lords peoplef"
81 hope that am," replied Mr.. Stone, with be-
coming humility. The presiding genius, satisfied
with the answer of his catechisn, returned to his
elevated seat, and at the end of the hymn, arose
and said:
"Will Brother Stone, from New York, favor us
with few remarks ~ 49,
Mr.. Stone, willing to do what he could, made
q few practical observations to the best of his
ability. No sooner had he sat down, than the
presiding elder arose and said:
"Will Brother Stone, of New York, ask the
Lork to bless his feeble remarks r.
Undismayed by this commentary on his speech,
Mr.. Stone offered prayer, and the meeting pro-
ceeded as Standardization Intelligence.

Salt Your Hay.

If our hay makers will take a little more pains
with their hay and cure it better, they would re-
alIze from 20 to 25 per cent. more in price than
they do in the general average.
If hay makers will cut their hay and throw it
into larger heaps than usual, at the evening of
the first day it is cut down, mingling a good
sprinkling of salt through each heap, and on the
second day double these heaps, they would find
their hay cured well, with bright fresh green
look.
Hay cured thus will be ready to 60 into stack
or bale on the third day, and if little more salt
is thrown into each bale, much the better
When thus cured and baled, this hay can be left
on the field in large double or quadruble rows
piled high, and it will be sweet and bring the
highest price whenever taken to market.-Cal

INSECTS IN CIsTERNs.-Nothing is more annoy
ing than to have cistern of good water taken
possession of by insects. Keep the cistern COW
cred, and it soon begins to smell; open it, and
thousands of "wiggles," the Larvae of mosquitoes,
able, supply an abundance of little blood suckers
to feed upon us during the night and disturb
onr slumbers. An easy way to put an end to
the "wigglers," is to place a number of small
hsh, minnows for example, in the cistern These
VIII speedily devour the insects and keep the
cistern clear of all such If lead pipe is in the
cistern, the fish will die in day or two. Place
close wire screen over the lower end of your
pump stock, and the fish will not be drawn in.

CAN'T SHUCK CoRS.-At the conclusion of the
last concert of Miss Lind, worthy farmer from

Sally Jones, Parson Jones' darter, who is counted
the best singer in old Jackson. But Sally can
beat her shocking corn, 1 warrant. You never
seed Sally shuckf'

"Well, you'd ort'er~

ton that if Miss Lind is "screamer," she can't
shuck corn-at least with Sally Jones.-St. Louis
