PRE-HrsroR1c MAN.-Lauren Z. Crane,
of this city, returned on Saturday from
q tour through Nevada and Sierra coun-
ties, and brought with him a curious
piece of fossil wood. 1t was discovered
in the South Fork Tunnel, near Forest
City, Sierra county, on the 18th inst, at
eighteen hundred feet from tine mouth of
the tunnel and under about eight hun
dred vertical feet of mountain. The re-
markable feature of the specimen con-
sists in the evidence it bears Of having
been handled BY man at some very re-
mote period. The wood is not petrified.
but is in its natural state. 1t is a piece
of oak twenty inches long and fourteen
inches broad, by about five inches deep
a section of tree nearly two feet in
diameter. 1t has apparently been cut
squarely off with some moderately sharp
instrument. and has lain buried in the
ives. bank of an ancient river channel,
4, 500 feet above the level Of the sea, for
countless ages. The tunnel wherein it
was found is in undisturbed ground,
there being no tunnel or shaft in the
vicinity BY which the wood could have
reached the interior of the mountain.
No other fragment of wood was discov-
cred near it. The relic has been for
waIicd to Professor lie Conte, President
of the University of California. While
relating the circumstances Of the dis
covery, Mr.. Crahe informed us that in
1855 similar discovery, but on 3 much
larger scale, was made at Allegheny, in
the Allegheny Tunnel, in which James
Mccormack and others found. in the
heart of the mountain. several pine logs
four feet in diameter and seven feet in
length, that had been neatly sawed and
piled up, and had been buried in the bed
of the 'Old Blue River from time i'm

istence of man at the time the ancient
rivers of California were facing the skies
are very rare.-SGcrameRto Record.

The London Standard having started
in to predict the course of things in the
United States keeps on with its chosen
task. In the outset OF the rebellion it
took sides with the Southerners. When
the Confederacy collapsed the Standard
was as mad as q secesh Bitisher ever
gets to be over Yankee self-assertion and
success. Now that paper is engaged in
denouncing this Republic as failure
and the administration of Grant as q
fountain OF corruption. We are glad to
announce, however, that the hope is en-
tertained in certain well-informed quar-
tiers that the country under the Provi-
dence Of God, will survive the shock Of
the Standard unfriendIy criticism.

The Potato Bug.

The Colorado potato beetle is prob
lem, the solution of which outweighs in
Importance many other questions. The
Colorado potato bug first made its ap-
pearance in 1861 in the far West, and
since that time has been gradually en-
larging its sphere of action at the rate of
sixty miles year, which, unless it shall
be checked, will bring the bug to the
Atlantic States about the year 1880. The
beast is enormously prolific, and every
fifty days he duplicates his family, which
generally numbers about 1000. Thus
far no way of extermlnating him has
been discovered. Paris green will kill
him. but unfortunately it kills the plant
also on which he alights. So notorious
is his character that the most strenuous
exertions are employed to prevent him
from entering England, Germany, and
France. Every potato is met on the
frontier and rigidly examined to see that
there is no bug about it, and every stalk
and loose particle o. soil which accompa-
nles it is removed and burned lest it
should conceal some egg which might
bourgeon villainously even in the new
soil. The Colorado bugs travel in such
vast stHumbers that in one night they will
settle upon acres and acres of young DO
tatoes and destroy them all. They do
not seem to take kindly to other plants,
and therefore if they increase and multi
ply it is because they have this food.
Possibly the planting of no potatoes for
O. year or two is the only way to eradicate
the dreaded bug.

The Lick Gift.

The San Francisco Bulletin, speak-
ing OF the action of Mr.. Lick i'm seekino
to revoke his deed of trust, presents q
different view of the matter from that
expressed by most of the newspapers on
the Pacific coast. 1t says that it does
not appear that Mr.. Lick has repented
OF his benevolence, but that he believes
that he can revise the trust, make it more
ehectual, and administer some part of II
during his lifetime. The property is
valued at S5, 900, 900, and, consisting
mostly of real estate, will greatly i'm.
crease IN value. The Bulletin holds
that the man by whose shrewdness.
energy, and foresight this property has
been accumulated may have the ability
to give more practical effect to his dc
nations than if the whole direction of
these gifts should be left to trustees.
There IS another consideration of i'm
portance. 1t Is said that good LAWYERS
th1nk that under the code, some of the
trusts created i'll the Lick estate are
VOID Tor want of any party authorized
by law to take them, and it is almost
certain that upon the death of Mr..
Lick the validity of the gift in its origi-
nal form wsuld have been contested by
his legal heirs. If an amicable settle.
ment with these heirs can be made by
MIR. Lick during his lifetime, that is
something gained, and it may be the
means of preventing the whole trust
from beir G set aside, as was done in the
case OF trust created by the late
Horace Hawes, also of California, where
the widow and relatives came in and
took the whole property, save what went
for lawyers fees.
