LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
CHICO, june 26. 1s76.

CHICO, June 20, 1876.
Mr. Editor The soil of the Sacramento
Valley is = very dark loan and of q very
hlluvial nature. 1t is admirably adapted to
the growth of fruits aud vegetables. The
apple and peach are not usually of a. fue .
flavor As those grown 10 Virginia: the apples
being somewhat tasteless, except the soureI
varieties, ADD the peaches are very sour when
compared with the same varieties grown On
the Eastern Shore. But generally spsakiDg,
those varieties of any fruit, which ripen early
and are not exposed to the hot sun Of the
summer months, are superior to those whish
ripen later. All other fruits growa here are
very luscious and of larger growth. Its OOt
an uncommon occurrence for . single cluster
OF grapes to weigh from eix TO ten pounds,
aud other fruit attain q corresponding proper
ton. Many fruits are shipped from here 20
the Eastern markets, pears especially, but
their flavor is very unnatural, not to be COM
pared with what it is here, from the simple
fact. that in order to stand shipping they are
pulled before they are ripe. The orange aud
fig can be grown as far North as Chico, buI
not so successfully as in the latitude Of Sae>
ramento or Los Angeles.
In the extreme Southern portion of the
State the strawberry is grnwu so successfully
that ripe fruit may be had %thrOugOus the year.

For the Spirit of JeGsrSOn.l
The Past and Present.

Previous to the Revolution this county was
part of Berkeley. GeOr-e Washington, then
quite young, surveyed pretty extensively here
abouts and became the owner of large tracts
of land
In all sections of this vast country tho peo-
pie were subjected to hard times and trials
The indians caused death and destruction.
The parent country sssumed high handed
measures over them. Many of the men of
those days that tried mems souls. "fought and
bled in freedoms cause" aud history records
their oames. There are mono who can give
any account anterior to l7T6.
The country was rich aud sparsely inhab-
tied, AID comparatively few farms under cuI-
t~ivatioa. The forests bounded in prime tim
Der. The roads doubtless were narrow aud
crooked. No factories, few mills and stores.
Schools and churches were few and far be-
tween.
Hunting was then an exciting AID profit
able amusement. This whole section was
called the backwoods. The habits of the PEG.
simple, and cxtra7agance but little INDUCED
in.
Whist are largo cities now whence supplies
are obtained and to which surplus COM
modities are sent, were comparatively in>
significant.
About the termination of the last century,
this county was Topped off of Berkeley and en-
rolled among the SISTER counties of Virginia.
ToHus spEans up, Government works were
located a, I|IarPer's Ferry, Charlc>town be-

T1a high during tho existence of Democracy
and Federalism. Even in those times there
remained some OF the Revolutionary soldiers,
who were honored and esteemed for the great
services they had rendered. Scarcely one
died bu: WAS buried with the honors of war.

Committee xeports.

Senator Francis, from the joint commit
tee of the two houses on the management
of the Lunatic Asylum, submittedathe fol-
lowing report:
Hon. Il. b. Hubbard, President Of the StIatS
The joint committee of the two houses
appointed to inquire into the management
.of the affairs of the Lunatlc Asylum, under
the charge OF DR.. r. d. Wallace, % sapers
Ilntendent, respectfully submit the following
report of their Investigation: s..i
They found, the cash transactions of the
institution kept in such q manner asT TO en{
able them to verify the amounts as COM
pared with the books at the ComptrolleF's
office, so far as the appropriations for build
ing, made by the Thirteenth Eeuis iatnre,
lwere to be examined into. but they found
that It is the custom at the Institution fsK
all sums of money received for private
patients of the instituuon, of which
the Comptroller has no notice, and cannot,
therefore, keep any aeco1nts 50, also, inre-
gard to the moneys received from the differ
ient counties in payment for thereoGntypa-
stients. A part of this money is received
directly from the counties. and part from
the Comptroller, under the law of June
Us, 1870.
OF that received directly from the coua-
ties, the Comptroller has no account; of
that received through the Comptrollefs Of
ice, he has \ memoranda, but as the law
does not require the superintendent 70 &C.
count to the Comptroller for the muney, the
Comptroller does not take any further mo-
lice OF il. - zssssss 4. 81
Ii will thus be seen that the superinten-
dent receives . large amount Of money.
against which there 5 no cheek. and for
which he is not, under the Law, accountable

We would respectfully cali the attention
of the Legislature 10 the fact. il jusfice 20

that they have suggested adilferent method

f. The MERRY DAYS OF OLD.-In reading
of the middle ages one is struck by the &C
counts given of feats of strength, etc.,
Of the life actors of those times. The suits
of armor worn would certainly indicate the
possession Of greater physical strength than
is developed by men IN these latter days.
What wrought the change2 Men lived in
the merry days more outdoor life than this
advanced civilization of ours con afford.
There is greater consumption of brain
matter, and that increased demand on men
tai and physical power necessitates the use
OF pure vegetable, stimulant tonic, such
as the Home Stomach Bitters.
