The BIRDsALL AND COUNTY TOLL
ROAD matter came up before the
County Commissioners yesterday,
and it was agreed to take it before
the Supreme Court, in order to
save unnecessary expense to the
county. Mr.. Birdsall personally
appeared before the Board, and
took occasion to state that " the
road had not paid two per cent. on
the investment since building"
but we are charitable enough to
think he did not include in his
estimate the passage over the road
of his own large number of teams.
1t is our opinion that the Company
have collected sufficient tithing to
amply repay them, and should
now find no objection to making 1t
a free public highway. We do not
desire to work an injury to the
gentlemen who inaugurated this
laudable enterprise, but it is our
duty to avert these toll-gathering
calamities from the public, and I'M
less good cause is shown to the
contrary, our county should have
the benefit which the expiration of
this toll charter gives them.

The Result OF Writing AnOthey
Mans love letters.

There resided in the lower portion
of this county not long since, swain
whose sweetheart dwelt at Reno, and
in communicating with her, her
lover was compelled to call to his
aid third person, as his early edu-
cation was defective, perhaps from
the frequent indulgence in playing
hockey"
To guard against any temptation
for the scribe's falling in love with
his sweet heart, the young fellow
settled upon a married man to per-
form the duties thereof, and so for a
time matters worked most harmoni,
ously. The scribe had been there
himself, and profiting by his expert
ence, he penned such deliciously
gushing letters to Sarah Louisa, in
the name of Nathan, of course, that
the little maid soon surrendered the
citadel of her heart to Nathan, and
promised in due time to accompany
the hand with it also.
Now time in its flight, caused the
swain to move over to Carson to
pursue his calling in the wood line,
and it was necessary to keep up the
correspondence with Sarah Louisa
in the same hand writing, so Nathan
procured the services of friend in
his new home, to write the tender
messages and mail them to the
scribe in this county, to copy and
post.
For time the plan we'll succeed
ed; but on one Inflated day, the
scribe, after inditlng most loving
! epistle to Sarah Louisa, ending, OF
course, with a prayer for reply by
return of mail, in fit of abstraction
signed his own instead of Nathan s
name.
The return answer came in the
shape of an irate female, none other
than Sarah Louisa's mother, who
searched out the scribe, and produc-
ing his last tender effusion to hel
daughter before his astonished eyes
asked him, in such tones as only
an outraged mother can command
show dared he, married man, with
a family, write such letter to hel
innocent lamb of daughter"
Then that scribe had to rise to ex
plain how he had been engaged in
an amicable fraud, and the word.
must not be taken as an expression
of his own sentiments-oh, no, 10y
no means-but as those of Nathan's
His explanation fully satisfied tn,
old lady, and all is now lovely.

San Francisco Letter.
SAN Francisco, April L, 1875,

SAN FRANCISCO, April L, 1875.
, DEAR TIMES = The rains have
returned upon us. Easter Sunday
was disappointment. The new
dresses, hats, and fluttering ribbons
had to be sheltered in carriages on
their way to church, instead OF
making gay the thoroughfares.
Apropos of carriages, the streets
of San Francisco are becoming quite
lively with this kind of ostentation
carriages with coverings, and car
riages without; carriages with satin
Innings of gay colors, glittering har-
ness and ebony colored drivers, and
even footmen in livery. The grand
est of all, perhaps, is one belonging
to gentleman originally from your
State. The wife, lady undoubted-
ly we'll remembered by those in
former years living around II certain
mining town which shall be name
less-a waiter-girl at the table of her
mothers boarding house, whose
charms were a source of attraction
to competitive miners, two OF whom
now are leading moneyed men in
stocks, who make no great preten-
sions to intellectual refinement,
but whose horses and carriages,
well-dressed, well-fed wives, and
half-spoiled children, bear witness
to the success of stock operations.
The uncovered lacquey, letting
down the steps of the carriage, is a
sad commentary upon the un-demo-
cratic degeneracy of the times; but
when people go to Europe, and see
kings and queens and all the
nobility receiving obeisance, why
should not our nobility, in an hum
BILE way, receive obeisance also ?
At all events, so it is; and the way
is open for a good deal more of it,
when the right time comes to do so.
A moderate stock market has sat
isfied in part the brokers, and few
more weeks of rest will give the
tired brains OF operators chance to
recuperate. Nobody is being ruined
at present, which is at least con-
soling.
The revival still continues as an
accepted fact, but hardly still as an
excitement. People go about their
business, drop into Union Hall and
become converted or not, as the case
may be, and feel the better, perhaps,
for it; but the effect upon the moral
ity of the community is not yet
visible, and possibly never will be;
but if the effect is to be upon others
as it has upon Lick; if they are to
repent their charities; feel that they
are npardonable sinners, in forget
ting their relatives and not remem-
bering the churches, and make
themselves and everybody else gen
orally miserable, because of the
only good thing they ever did in
their lives, God forbid we have any
more converts. But truce to NOR
alizing! The ways of the world are
rather peculiar, and if there were
no variety there would be no sensa-
ton. cam l the biggest of tim
ners - (sinners) asked one of Mr..
Hammond's four-year-old lisping
converts; and being convinced on
that subject, and admitting the
affirmative, your correspondent will
90 no farther. CYNTHIA ANN.

Mound College, on San Bruno road,
South San Francisco, at IL O'Clock
last night. In the course of an hour
the building and contents were en-

in the basement, and is supposed to
have been the work of Chinaman,
who had been employed as laundry
man at the College, but discharged
the day previous. The loss on the
building and contents is estimated
at $4,000. The principal, Mr.. Gam
BILE, loses $4,000 on furniture, H.

"Pretty bad under foot to-day,"
said one citizen to another, as they
met in the street. "9es, but it's

"True enough said the first, "but
then very few are going that way"
"What is bull-head luck?" asks a
Kentucky paper. Twisting mules
tail and getting away from his heels
without being kicked, comes near
enough to answer the question.
"That dog of yourn flew at me

hard enough to lift his hat off, and
when he eats ice cream it gets down
