ADVANTAGES OF RAILROADS. a letter from Napa to the Call, on the 2nd of May, We find the following paragraph:
 Mountains rich with precious metals, and elysian valleys covered with golden grain and fruit would be of little value to any State or community if without facilities for the transportation of their valuable products to market. Very much of the prosperity of our State is the result of its railway facilities. Napa county has been great gainer through the instrumentality of the railroad. An intel ligent gentleman informed us that the value of land in upper half of the valley ha. been enchanced from 100 to 300 per cent. since the railroad was constructed. Another said. if the railroad were to be removed, million and a half dollars would not cover the loss. It is through the railroads, not only in Napa county, but in every part of the State, that farms are being opened, wild, worthless, tan gled forests being cleared, where now gar dens have been planted, vineyards flourish and cornfields wave. The railroads have done more towards developing the agricultu- ral resources of the State, towards increasing her wealth and population than any other agency. St. Helena and Calistoga have risen into thriving towns, and the lands in their vicinity are dotted over with vineyards, and villas where nothing of the kind before exis- ted

Local InteIIigence,

TIE CELEBRATION AT WILLIAMsos VALLEY The good people of Williamson Valley, learning that there would be ball in Prescott on the night of the 9th postponed their celebration until Friday afternoon, when they assembled at Mir Jerry w. Sullivan's house and had real genuine good time. Dinner was served at o'clock p. ID. and supper at midnight
 Those of our town who were fortunate enougl, to be able to attend speak in the highest terms of the manner in which everything was conducted. Especial mention is made of Mesdames Cook. Nash and Bagley, to whom was entrusted the manipulation of the eating department.
 After dinner the dancing began and lasted until everybody was satisfied. Henry Herbert was floor manager and Mir. Donihue chief musician.
 There were some 9 ladies and 50 gentlemen present, all of whom enjoyed themselves fully and were loud in praise of the bachelors of Will liamson Valley. Chino was we'll represented, Prescott sent good delegation and Williamson did the rest. Had the affair taken place on any other day than Friday this establishment would have furnished hand or two, but on that day the MINER expects every man to be on duty or the machine stops. We very much regret our ina bility to be there, we had been promising our sell that pleasure for some time, yet we are glad to know that it was perfect success in every re- spect; and the boys say the beauty of it that nobody would take cent in the way of renu- meration-everything was free.

WHIcH.-An old story regarding Ethan Allen is opportunely received by the Wash ingtOn Chronicle. Allen had the reputation of being an open unbeliever in Christianity He published the first formal attack on the Christian religion ever written in America. He inclined to the doctrine of Pythagoras, and believed in transmgration of souls. His wife was woman of exemplary piety, and his children, with the exception of one daugh- ter, shared with the mother in her religious belief. This daughter inclined to the strange opinions of the father. When about to die she sent for him. The rough-spoken man, whose heart was as tender as a child's came to the bedside of the dying girl. Father, l am about to die" said she; "shall I believe in the principles you have taught me, or shall l believe in what my mother has taught me ?" The father became agtated, his lips quivered, tears ran down his cheeks, and bending over his dying child, he said, with a voice choked with emotion, Relieve what your mother has taught you"

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNING-During the high water in Granite Creek, on Monday, little Frankie Jewell went with other boys to see the water and drift wood running down the stream, and while on the foot-Iog, across the main stream, lost his balance and plunged head long into the boiling torrent. The boys were all frightened, made great noise but no attempt to save him. He was carried down the stream some distance, sometimes on top and sometimes beneath the surface of the water, until Conroy, who happened to be near by, saw what was the matter and plunged in and got him ont, other- wise he must surely have drowned It took some time to resussitate him he had stran- gled and taken in quite quantity of water He is all right now however and will probably fight shy of the Creek in future.

THUNDER AND BLAZEs.-A terrific thunder shower visited us on Wednesday night and last ed two or three hours, drenching the earth and lighting up the sky with dazzling glare that al- most struck one blind to look upon its vivid flashes. Timid people recoiled at the sound of the 'the thunder drums" on the mountains, and the dwellers by the streams in the low lands sought safety from the flood by flight to more elevated positions. Granite Creek, ordinarily modest little brooklet, suddenly assumed mon- strous proportions, and its floods came down with rush and roar that created considerable alarm for the safety of buildings along its banks Yesterday morning, however, the sun arose bright and clear, the storm had gone, the floods retired to the beds of the streams, and so far as we have heard everything is serene.
