PERSONAL.

Our much esteemed friend General o. II.
LaGrange, late Superintendent of the San
Francisco Mint, returned to that point yester-
day on his way home from Bodie and adjacent
mining districts, where he is largely interested
as a mine owner The editor very much re-
grets that his indisposition, keeping him at
home, prevented his meeting the General
who took the train last night for Oakland.
He expects to return this way in the course
of three or four weeks to look after his inter
ests in Bodie where we hope he will make a
fortune.
A LIVELY TEAM.-On Saturday last two
brothers, who own ranch a few miles from
this city, upon which they employ a large
force of help, were out blowing, and expert
menting with a young calf, which they de-
sired to break in for that purpose. The
Juvenile bovine was hitched to the pillow, but
did not operate very satisfactorily. John, the
eldest, said to his brother Sam, a stout young
fellow about twenty eight years old, "Sam,
you'd better stick your head through the yoke
with the calf, and maybe the critterd work
better" Sam did as he was bid; but no
sooner had he done so when the calf became
unmanageable, as if possessed Of million
devils, kicked up his heels and literally flew
down the ranch with the plow dangling at his
heels, which as a matter of course, only in
creased the fury of the beast, and Sans neck
was still sticking i'll the yoke with the expert
ment. Sam hollered out at the top of his
voice, "here we 90, we two d-n fools; head
ais of. But no one headed them. At length
the pair brought up against fence, which
naturally impeded the progress of the team.
John came running up, expecting to find his
brotherkilled, but no damagewas done beyond
fright. John Immediately began unyoking
Sam, who, in his indignation turned around
and said "John, you d-n internal fool, I'M
yoke the calf first, I'll stand, wont runaway"
The brothers have decided to discontinue ex-
perimenting with calves in the blowing line;
all of which is wise conclusion. This is a
true story, and no nonsense.
MERRY Go ROUND The District Court
is in session at Aurora. The Court always
brings different kinds of people together and
frequently mixes up things as we'll as straight
ems them cut. At the above place and term
there is divorce suit on, between one Rab-
John and his wife. They are both in attend
ance. The former is Justice of the Peace.
Last week while patiently awaiting the denou
ment, one Davis, the former husband of Mrs.
Rabjohn, appeared with young and bloom
ing Miss and was married to her by his Honor
Mr. Rabiohn Then Mrs. Rabjohn's hus-
band that was, but who is now the husband
Of another, and Mrs. Rabjohn's husband that
is, but who isn't to be the husband of anyone,
that is, Just at present, if she wins her case,
called upon Mrs Rabiohn that is, and were
cheerfully and pleasantly received and passed
a very cosy hour together. Somebody said,
guess it must have been Mrs. Rabjohn, it
might have been her first venture or per
chance her second, EYou see there Is moth
ing mean about me-" Don't seem as if there
was about any of them They all parted with
good wishes for the future in their several
departments. As Sam Weller said to Mrs. |
Bardell and her friend 81 wish they may get |
it." What we like about happy family gath
erings of that sort, is the sociability We
may have trifing differences, but the great
thing in this life is to be sociable, cheerful
like, not allowing little incompatibilities to
interfere with the social virtues.
A HUNDRED Voices This Tuesday, even
ing the several classes of Dir. Clark are to be.
consolidated into one huge singing society,
at which time big noise may be anticipated.
Governor Bradley returned last night from
Virginia. |
