GEN. L. Nj. HARRIS, late Pension
Agent in this city, and at present iru'
gal farmer and Alderney butter-maker'
we believe, out in the gem-like regions
of Richie, is a close observer of the hesv-
ems and an intelligent reader OF signs
and portends. He used to say: Observe
the three days nearest the seml-snnusl
occurrence of the equinoxes, and you may
predict with q reasonable degree OF GER
tainty, the weather for the succeeding
three months. Remembering this sug-
gestion, we did observe last September,
the state of the weather on the 10th
Dist and 22nd of the month. Ii WAS
dry, bright bslmy and beautiful; fair
sample of the weather we have had three
months succeeding. We now hasten to
write Gen. HARRIS down as greater than
"Old Probs," with all his lightning rods
and other instruments of prognos ticst-
ing the weather of the future.

Rain Fall in CaliiOrnia.

SAN FRANCISCO, December a.
Within the last few days the State has
been visited by general rain and in some
places the rain has been heavy enough
to ensure the crops even If the
balance of the season should be
comparatively dry. This Is par
ticularly true of Nspo and Ssnonia
counties. The coast counties generally
have had good supply. The southern
portion of the State has been highly
favored and the newspapers OF that
section consider the crops assured. The
San Joaquin and Santa Clara valleys
have had light rain fall, but it Is prob
ably sufficient to remove cause for
sny immediate apprehension. The
Sacramento Valley has had enough for
present needs. On the whole the pres
pect is considered encouraging.

Fatal Accident.

ST. LOUIS, December l4.-Mrs. Bow
man, wife of John b. Bowman, Mayor
eft East St. Louis, shot herself about half
past 8 o'clock last evening, and died al
most instantly. Mayor Bowman has
been at loggerheads with the City Coun-
Gil for some time past, and his wife fear
ing he would be assaulted, has been IN
the habit lately of going to his office IN
the evening and accompanying him
home. At the inquest to day 1t was
shown that she has carried the pistol IN
her bosom on such occasions, and it is
thought from the nature OF the wound
and the direction of the ball, that while
disroblng last night the weapon was &C
cidentslly discharged, the ball entering
above the left breast and ranging down

YoUSG Mr.. ERNEST Pollock, son OF
the senior proprietor of the Pacific
FIGURING Mills of this city, some time ago
sensibly took the advice that has been
80 freely given, oy the better class OF
newspapers, to young men, viz; Go to
the country and become tlllers OF the
soil he purchased a fine track OF land
smos. on the top of the Allegheny
Mountains, containing nearly 700 acres
II ia situated within five miles
of Oakland, and almost on the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. Away up there among the
cIouds-for, bear IN mind, that location
ia somewhere between $500 and 5000
above Tide water-Mr. POLLOCK tells
us they cannot raise corn TO amount TO
much, and wheat only moderately well.
The seasons are too short for corn, rs
the irosts hang on late in Spring and re-
turn again quite early in the Fall. But
il is the land for buckwheat and oats,
snd mountain mutton there comes to It's
tenderest, juciest and most pslatable per-
fecti,n. Grass is but little more back
ward IN the Sprlng, Mr.. POLLOCK
informs US, and it grows
with greater luxurlsnce and sweetness
sll through the long, hot summers, than
with us. The rearing of cattle and sheep,
are the most satisfactory branches OF bus
bandry in that mountain region; though,
~ the price which buckwheat brings this
year, the cultivation Of that grain pay
well. The custom is to breed and rear
cattle on the grass and hay of The G ladies',
until they have reached the age to be-
proltsbly fed out" that ID, iattened on
corn, and then they are generally sold to
the corn cultivators who occupy
the broad bottoms of the branches OF the
Potomac, where they are corn-ied few
months before being shipped to the
markets of the East No finer beeves are
raised than those which feed on the ten
der and cooling grasses of the shady
glsdes and the nutricious corn OF the
Potomac valleys.
Mr.. POLLOCK is quite young man
vet, and unmarried, and he has exhibited
quite degree of bravery in his exten-
slve farming venture. His pluck is
guarantee of his future success.
