GRANGE PRICES. A note from Para
disc Valley informs us that the members
of Paradise Grange. No. 5, Patrons OF
Husbandry, met for the first time in
their new hall ON the 10th ult. The
Grange adopted a resolution fixing the
price of grain of good quality on the
ranch as follows: Barley two and
quarter. and wheat two and one-haif
cents per pound. The Secretary was
ordered to send copy of this notice
to the county papers. These prices
will undoubtedly be adhered to for the
present season, as we understand q
large majority of the farmers in Para
disc Valley are members of the Patrons
Of Husbandry.

Two Disciples OF I1ak Walton De-
part From the Rules Of the Great
Angler and Regret H..
Early last Monday morning, in the
lsagaage of the immortal James, of
yaiow covered novel notoriety, tto0
solitary fishermen might have been
seen. covered with dust and fishing
tackle, vending their way drought the
sage brush above town in the direction
of the Humboldt river. They stopped
on the river bottom, and like the Kan
sas and Nebraska sufferers commenced
chasing grasshoppers, which are quite
plentiful in George Berrott's meadows.
Having filled u paper collar box with
the cause of the great emigration, from
the Western States, they proceeded up
the river to deep hole, where they
Laited their hooks and east their lines
on the water which the bais had scarcely
touched ere sixteen inch trout
attempted to swallow it, but only sue
ceeded in getting slight hold of the
hook, which pull from one of the
fishermen broke almost instantly, and
both plunged simultaneously into the
river, hoping to catch with their hands
what they had failed to hold by hook,
Before they touched the water, how
ever, his troutship was off like streak
of creased lightning, and ere they
reached the bottom ii was fifty yards
away. Up to their waists in water,
they stood and looked at each other a
moment and mutually agreed that they
were the biggest mugginses of their
size IN the county, aud everybody to
whom they have related their expert
ence concur in the opinion. While
tdeir clothing was drying they were
tolerabIy successful in catching clubs,
aud have resolved never TO let trout
interfere with their fishing if they eau
possibly prevent it.

SrocKs.--The Stock Board remains
closed, and no member of the Board is
permitted to deal in them under heavy

FROM WASHINGTON
CONGRESS,


WASHINGTON Dec lS.-Neither the Senate
nor the House Of Representatives was in ses-
sion to-day.
IN TIE LOBBIES.
The noisy, busy, talking train that does d
small part in the legislation of the country, a nd
produces the impression that it is the whole
government, has swept away to Philadelphia in
fast train with all its clattcr aud bang, and
Its newspaper mirrors that reflect true or dis,
torted images Of its doiugs have gone with it.
We, who remain behind, are so quiet that We
fear that unless We make some sort of turmoil
and fuss, people will suppose The seat of gov
ernment has been removed. Perhaps after all
government IS possible without the representa-
tlves OF the great journals, who invent all the
State secrets, and then livulge them. Consid.
erlng that there is not az occupied scat in
the reporters gallery to-day, it is wonderful
that we still have a country. How long eau
We survive in this torIorn condition
II that is the best government which gov,
ems least, the present Congress is the modoi
OF National Legislatures, and the first mouth
OF the session the masterpiece OF political so.
gacity Indeed it seems we'll nigh certain that
the 44th Congress will do less harm than any
of its predecessors. The Senate will reject what
the House proposes and the House will mega.
tive what the Senate passes, and conference
committees will dull the edge of everything
novel 10 legislation We will chronicle talk all
the winter and spring, and one or two weeks
of Juoe, and for the first time in the year
the reporters pencils will be ireighted with
the chronicles of actual business
Mex: week it is expected that the House
committees will be appointed. Il seems t. be
likely that s. s. Cox will be Chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee. There seems to
be certainty that Virginia will have one, il
not two, chairnanships. Harris, as the oldest
in service, will get one, and Hutton will PROB
able take another.
Randolph Tucker will be the best man that
the Speaker puts On the } udlciary Committee.
