The California Fruit Crop.

The San Francisco Alta of July II
says:
1.-THE grape crop promises to be good
in the State generally, and is UNUSUAL
ly large in some districts near San
Francisco bay, and scanty in Others,
especially about Los Angeles and San
Gabriel. A frost which came in the
latter part of April was very severe at
Los Angeles, and in the pruned vine
yards, where the shoots were far ad-
vanced, the loss is complete, while at
Anaheim, where the frost was lighter
and the pruning had been done late,
there will be good yield. The banan-
as at, San Gabriel were cut down, and ii
is admitted now that they can not be
grown with a profit on the southern
coast, unless at places exceptionally
free from frost, either near the ocean OF
on the hillsides. The orange trees were
not injured, but it is thought that the

Bite ola RatiIesnake.

A postoffice agent travelling in Texas
tells of the successful use of the gall of
rattlesnake as an antidote for the bite
of that reptile. In the case spoken of
relief was almost instantaneous to the
patient, who was writhiDg in paroX-
ysms Of great pain, rapidly swelling
and becoming purple. A friend of the
writer, who spent several years in Cal
ifornia and New Mexico, saw the same
remedy successfully used among the
Indians in the latter country. In one
instance the Indians dog near the
camp was bitten in the nose by a large
rattlesnake. The Indians Immediately
opened the reptile and administered
the gall. The cure was rapid and eff

A farmer boy in Ohio. recently OBJ

watch their motions. They pursued
very regular course in their foraging,
beginning on one side of the field,
taking about five rows, and following
them uniformly to the opposite end,
returning in the same manner over
the next live rows. They cOntinu-
ed In this course until they had ex-
plored the greater part Of the field.
The lad, believing that they were pull
ing up the corn, fired into the flock,
killing but one of them, and examin-
ed the ground. In the whole space
which they had traversed he found
but one stalk of corn disturbed. This
was nearly scratched out Of the ground,
hut the earth still adhered to it. In
the cIaw oIthe quail he found one cut
worm, twenty-one striped vine bugs,
and one hundred chineh bugs, but not

Auditor Clinton, was asissing' ana numerous
ere tho snrm;aas . TO his fate. Some Of biz
friends thougbs nat he had lefs the city, and
d. liz and family could not imagine
lbs - 10 had gone, and the greatest vigilance
w. nsed in the search for him, when, last
Wednesday, he made his appearance at his
residence, on Tonti, corner Of Unzaga street.
He had not been long at home before he at
tempted to put an end to his existence.
Some member of the family went in search
of him and, to their horror, found him lying
down with his throat cut almost from ear to
ear, and his body bathed in blood, which
flowed in copious stream from the CHASTITY,
gaping wound. ~
Medical assistance was sent for immediate
ly, when Drs. DeBlanc and Bayou visited the
unfortunate gentleman. After checking the
hemoffhage they dressed the wound, but it
was thought that it would prove fatal. Being
possessed Of strong constitution, MIR. Mer-
rift bore up under his terrible suffering.
When the physicians again visited him, his
condition was much better, and he has since
been improving gradually and in the physi.
clans opinion will recover.
The fact at first was kept very quiet, but by
being told to one and then another it came to
thesears of BULLETIN reporter, who imme-
diately went in search of the facts o1the case.
As far as could be CLEANED it appears that
Mr. Merritt has had great domestic troubles
of lates which caused him to leave his home,
but being unable to bear up under the weight
upon him he returned home as above stated
and committed the rash deed, which haswell
nigh ended his existence.

Citizens Bank vs.. the Funding Board, de-
cided on Attorney General Fields opinion
that the note of $500, 600 givensby Warmoth
did not come within section 3 of the Funding
act He also refused the mandamus upon the
ground that the bank had exercised its choice
IN fonding its warrants and that now it had
no claim for anything more.
II will be remem bered that this note was
given by the State during the Warmoth- Car
ter rebellion, and was discounted by President
Gaines Of the Citizens Bank.
The case of the State ex rel Cook VS.. the
city asking for the removing the obstruction

must be removed and the dead there resur-
rected and the mandamus made peremptory,
ordering the city to execute the decree, NAv-
