American Valley.
AMERICAN VALLEY,

-II"A~hith-<
Sept. l, 1877.
EDITOG INDEPENDENT:
In late issue of the INDEPENDENT,
this valley is called Grass Valley.
Now SO far as grass is concerned, that
is all right; but it must be remem-
bered that man cannot live on grass
alone, and need never be compelled
to try the experiment in this valley,
for wheat, oats, vegetables and fruit
are grown here in perfection and
abundance.
Several years age this was called
Coppcrhead Valley, the snake being
Il peculiar species of the genus rep
tile which lived and Aourished while
the palmetto was in the air, but
turned up on its back and died when
that tree ceased to be an emblem.
The valley has another and more
appropriate name; one that is more
comprehensive than Grass and more
elegant than Copperhead; a name
which every lover of his county can
swear by, whether he be to the manor
born or from foreign lands, and that
name is american Valley" Please
designate it as American Valley, Mr..
Editor Yours Respectfully,
AMERICAN.

PUGILIsTIC PUNCHING. Vancouver has a
couple of rival BARRIERS; both of them very
good citizens as long as they confne their
talents to their legitimate occupations; but
it seems they have not much of that peculiar
fellow feeling which should make them Won
drous kind, and that they are somewhat
prone to wander into the by and forbidden
paths of pugiIsm. Umbrage followed UNI
bragg, and angry words succeeded this, until
q war was inevitable. One OF them, being
the Deputy City Marshal, did not like to en-
gage in mortal combat inside the city limits;
81 the pair adjourned into the suburbs, where
each one met the other 'on the bloody sands,
50 To speaH and a terrible scuiiie en-
SIZED Such Was the science of the combat
tants that the tight was over at the end OF the
first round They got of with black optics,
otherwise but little hurt; but the seconds
Were badly blown, fearfully 'chawed up,
and they, az least, are glad 1.-The cruel war Is
over Such is the short and simple ANIMAL OF
the poor BARRIERS. 1t is time now for them
to shake hands across the bioodless chasm
and be friends "a consuInmatien devoutly to
be wished.
