ing Christmas.

EDITOR HERALD: Our rainy sea-
son comes i'll early, grandly and CO.
piously. So say the farmer and hor-
ticulturist, while they laugh for joy
over the crop prospects. On the other
hand the tourist and invalid say,
"What horrid weatherw as they
anxiously look for the breaking away
of the clouds, hoping for sunshine and
fair weather. Ever thus-one class of
people rejoices and another is sad over
the same thing. Much depends upon
how we are personally and pecuniarily
affected. Few of us are unseltish
enough to be willing sacrifice for
the good of others. We are really
having an abundance of rain, and if
/ exult it is from the horticuturist's
standpoint and general prosperity of
the State.
THE RIVERSIDE "NEWS.n
. In few days the Riverside Ne,cs
will make its bow before it's future
patrons, and we will have the 'power
of the Pressu to make known our eX-
cellent qualities as a locality and de-
fend us from the jealous envy of our
enemies. Riverside in my opinion
needs an enterprise of this kind to cor
rect many erroneous views which
strangers are apt to receive and enter
tain, from the fact that all who come
to us "run n gauntlet" of many unre
liable influences in passing through
other places where the people are so
anxious to grow at the expense of ve
racity. Messrs. Buck & Davis, two
young typos from San Bernardino,
with faith in Riverside, are about to
few days we will be in print, and
will have taken another step towards
civilization.
MR.. NORRIS.
Mr.. Morris, of your city, is with us,
and, like Mark Tapley, is "trying to
be jolly,n and judging from his vivae-
ity and mirthfulness he either finds
our place very agreeable or succeeds
admirably in making the best of us.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving.
We being n New England colony,
make accordingly an onslaught upon
all the poultry within our reach, and
try to forget the empty chairs which
may surround the home-board, some
thousands of miles away.
FLOWING.
Everybody who owns land about
Riverside is blowing during the inter
regaunt between showers, or is getting
ready to break the virgin soil.
CAPTAIN sAYWARD.
learn Captain Sayward, for the
company, intends putting some thou
sands of acres into barley, and all is
and will be activity with us. Refer
ring to this Company, who are doing
50 much for this vicinity. must
shortly give you some idea of their
great work in ditch-making, fluming
and filling. They have spared no ex-
pense i'm trying to make substantial
and excellent improvement here. We
are still building. One from an emf
nence looking down upon the newness
of roofs will have to admit that we
have fairly doubled our buildings
within a few months.
THE APPROACHING CHRISTMAS.
Quite an interest is felt by some of
our religious societies in theapproach-
ing Christmas. Trees and festivals
are to be loaded, partaken of and en-
j0yed. We have lately added an artist
to our numbers, and many of our peo-
pie are duplicating themselves and
their places upon the supposition that
We cannot have too much of II good
thing; and so long as we cannot very
well go ourselves, are willing to make
envi0us our Eastern friends by send
ing pictures of our beautiful homes in
Winter, and, was going to write, our
beautiful selves, but should say our
physically improved selves.
