This sylvan lodge was cheered and refined
by the presence of his wife and children,
whose daily household occupations were
assisted by numerous servants chosen from
the warm hearted people who had left their
own Green Isle to find a home in this will
derness.
Amidst such scenes and the duties of
her station we may suppose that Mrs. Tai
bot, lady who could not but have relin-
pushed many comforts in her native land
for this rude life of the forest, found suf-
ficient resource toquell the regrets Of many
fond memories of the home and friends she
had left behind, and to reconcile her to the
fortunes of her husband, to whom, as we
shall see, she was devoted with an ardor
that no hardship or danger could abate.
Being the dispenser of her husbands
hospitality bread giver, in the old
Saxon phrase, frequent companion of
his pastime, and the bountiful friend, not
only of the families whose cottages threw
up their smoke within view of her dwell
ing, but of all who came and went on the
occasions of business or pleasure in the
common intercourse of the frontier, we
may conceive the sentiment of respect and
attachment she inspired in this insulated
district and the service she was thus
enabled to command.
This is but fancy picture, it is true, of

think, be received at least as near the
truth in its general aspect ard characters
tic features.
He was undoubtedly bold, enterprising
man,-impetuous, passionate, and harsh,
as the incidents of this story show. He
was, most probably, soldier trained to
the profession, and may have served abroad,
as nearly all gentlemen of that period were
accustomed to do. That he was an ardent
and uncompromising partisan OF the Pro-
prietary in the dissensons of the Province
seems 10 Oe eVlueub. suppose hith' "iSo,
to have been warm hearted, proud in spirit,
and hasty in temper,-a man to be loved OF
hated by friend or foe with equal intensity.
1t is material to add to this sketch of him,
that he was Roman Catholic,-as we
have record proof that all the Deputy
Governors named in the recent commission
were, l believe, without exception, and
that he was doubtless imbued with the
dislike and Indignation which naturally
fired the gentlemen of his faith against
those who were then supposed to be plot
ting the overthrow of the Proprietary gov
eminent, by exciting religious prejudice
against the Baltimore family.

successive inOculations, from man to man,
by instrumentality of the molecules of ex-
crement which mans filthness lets mingle

ton of air and food is by escape of sewer

by Bishop Lay, in valuable paper form

ment of typhoid fever case was thrown

the town was submerged by the backed

tive work, many other outbreaks of fever
have been traced to milk polluted with

airy Report of the Medical Officer 10 the
Privy Council the result of 143 inspec-

What is true of the causation of typhoid
fever is equally true of the diarrhe,s, and
probably of all acute diseases in which di-
arrh@n is prominent symptom. Upon
these facts is predicated the opinion, as re-
markable as the demonstration of its causa-
ton is clear, that, with clean soil and pure
water, typhoid fever will become tradi-

warrant this conclusion.

and they frequently will not sell for enough
to pay freight. The same calamity which
proves so disastrous to our peach growers,
-glutted markets-is sure to fall upon
the grape raisers of California. We have
twenty mouths to fill with peaches where
they of the Pacific State have one to feed
with grapes, and yet in twenty four hours
the markets of Philadelphia, New York
and Baltimore are frequently glutted with
peaches. The same result is inevitable in
California, for vineyards are being planted
every year, and they never die if taken
care Of, but will last hundred years as
well as ten For making into wine three
quarters of cent to cent pound is paid
| by the wine makers for grapes, and at these
prices, l am told, the business pays very
handsomely.
! This is a very brief sketch of some of
| the leading products of the State. Much
more could be said on the same subject if
I space would permit The bright side Of
California has always been held up to the
world, but it has dark side which it is
time the world was being introduced to.

other features peculiar to this semi-tropical
