Letter From Beaver Dam.

BEAVER Dam, June 26 &c,
Editor Herald:
"'Tis true, and pity It's It's true, u
that every time jim Daniel has bar.
becuc, it rains. He prepared feast
at Cromwell last Saturday, in the
morning of which the indications were
propiLiOus for fair day; towards dis.
persing time, however, it raincd, and
rained hard. Mr.. Woodward was
there, and had the attention of t,ce,ty
to whom lie presented his claims for
the Sheriffalty of Ohio county. Most
all in this part of the county are for
Phillips. A few democrats claim al
present to be for Woodward.
1t is unprecedently strange why
some who have always lived in the
democratic faith are now leaving their
party. Of all the years that have ev-
or been, this is surely the one in which
the party should remain closely togeth-
er. Inscribo upon your banner the
nominees of the democratic party, and
vote for your own party instead of the
one that has held you so long in sub
lection ~
Occasionally it can be heard whis-
pcred, 81 believe uncle Bill Allen, of
Ohio, would prove to be the greatest
roformer we could elect"
1t has rained almost every day for
the past fifteen. Most all the bottom
land is inundated, and some corn ell
tirely ruined.
Tobacco is "frenching" some little.
Should the rains cease, the damage
will be comparatively trihing.
Those who have cut their wheat are
pleased with the yield, though some
may yet injurc in the shock.
Considerable sickness has been caus-
ed by the recent unpleasant weather.
Tobacco has greatly deprecated in
value since the prospects for another
good crop has been made known. Some
tobacco sold last week for three dollars
less than was offered for same two
weeks since.
The lads and lassies all had new
clothes yesterday; they had horses and
buggies chartered for a trip to Hart
ford, but it rained harder than ever
before, which caused their countenances
to change from the rosy hue to one more
dark, and as along the street you walk
ed, that old, old saying would be

and good will to all mankind.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 7th.-The
storm still continues and prospects are
that the rain will not be over to-day
Advices from the interior are that the
amount of water fallen is so great that
floods are eminent. Clear Lake is re-
ported nine feet higher than on Sun
day, and streams in many localities
are overflowing banks, doing great
damage. rHa

ated James M. Mcdonald James

AT the meeting of Supervisors last
night, Strather, member from the Sth
Ward, ,introd1ceda resolution prohibit
ing newspaper reporters entering the
railing of the Clerks office, unless ac
companied by a Supervisor, who should
keep his eye on the newspaper man.
1t was tabled. Strather is windy and
talks too much, some of the reporters
have said, since his desire to get even.
Harry Guion, aged II years, was ac-
cidently killed yesterday afternoon by
falling from the roof of his fathers
dwelling, on Howard street. The lad
had been flying his kite for sometime,
and the string became fastened in shin
gle on slanting roof of his house. He
mounted the roof, lOosened the string
and was about to descend, when his
foot slipped and he fell from the roof
to the roof of shed connected with a
Chinese house adjoining, struck on his
head and breaking his neck. He was
a boy of promise.
A meeting of Catholics was held
Sunday afternoon for the purpose Of
establishing Seminary in the West
ern addition. The Institute to be
under the Sisters of Dominic order,
a society was organized, committee
and officers were appointed and SUBJ
scription of nearly $4,000 was taken
up before adjourning.
It's suggested that before the Re-
publican Committee takes any final
action for the election of delegates to
the National Convention, it is in order
to move for concert OfactiOn with the
wing of the Republican party known
as the Independents. The meeting of
the Reform State Central Committee
is called for the 9th inst.
Baldwin's new Academy of Music
opened last night and was crowded
from top to bottom. Among the
crowd at the entrance were several
adroit pickpockets who piled their vo-
cation with energy. One, however,
came to grief, being detected as he
was passing a watch to a confederate.
AT an informal meeting of the Re-
publican State Committee it was re-
solved to base the representation in
the next State convention on joint
vote of Independents and Republicans
1t is expected the Independents will
come half way to meet these Overtures
and make the Republican party unit
in the next campaign.

bill entitled "An Act to prevent the
cultivation of the untitled lands of
California; to reduce the Value of real
estate in cities; to decrease transporta-
ton facilities; to prevent immigration;
to destroy markets; to impair public
credit; to increase taxation; to inhibit
farming; to prevent rapid travelling;
to destroy prosperity and to reduce the
country to the condition of twenty
years ago?n He would be denounced
as madman, knave or fool, and
Immediately hurried from the Leg
islative chamber to an insane asylum
or the workshops of San Quentin.
Yet the freights and fares bill for
which sixty-six Assemblymen voted
the other day wants only the title we
have named to make it just such a
bill. In spirit it is such a bill and its
effect should it become law will be to
produce just the results indicated.
Within twenty-four hours from the
date of the bill becoming law, the
work Of railroad building will cease
everywhere in the State. The con-
struction force on the California and
Oregon railroad, on the North Pacific
railroad, on the Southern Pacific in
Tehachape Pass, in Soledad Pass and
East of San Gorgonia Pass, will be dis
charged. At least twenty thousand
laborers will be Thrown out of employ
ment and the extremes of locomotive
progress will be fixed for at least two
years to come. The effect of this great
revolution or rather retrograde move
ment in the Industrial pursuits Of the
State will be felt-disastrously felt
to the remotest corner of our domain.
To Southern California the conse-
quences will indeed be serious, be-
cause we are.a a new country needing
population and development, and for
these we are in the main dependent on
railroads. Los Angeles was rapidly
becoming railroad center. From the
railroads radiating from our city and
rapidly extending themselves East
ward and Northward we expected
much-almost everything. TO have
the building of these roads suddenly
stopped and the track now built rem
dered imperative is a blow to our
prosperity that we can hardly stand.
If Senator ARCHER had deliberately
set about framing bill that should do
the greatest possible injury to Los An
geles and Southern California he could
not have accomplished his purpose
more effectively than he has in his
freights and fares production.

The Sewer Question.

EDITOR HERALD.-I have been
thinking on the subject of Sewerage.
After all the objections urged by the
Express ain still of the opinion that
the proposed sewer through Los Ange-
les street (as proposed in your article a
few days since) is the most economic
al and practical plan that can be de-
vised. Mr.. Bushard proposes to max e
the sewer of artificial stone, pipe 80
inches, the proposed cost SO per foot.
| fear the Council will not entertain
the subject. fyou will converse with
him, and after reflection, if you think
there is anything in the propositions
can't you give us All article on it?
think, myself, that the lumber anu
brick interest is too strong. Yours,
JOHN 5. GRIFFIN.
