Says the Salinas Inder.. At distance
of about four miles in a southeasterly di.
rection from Monterey are the ruins of the
old San Carlos Mission Church. This was
built by Padre Junipero Sierra. Within
the limits of the Mission there lie en-
tombed the bodies of it's founder, who died
in 1854, and fifteen Governors of Cali
fornia.
The late rain dispels all fears that were
beginning to be very generally entertained
of injury to the young grain from drouth.
The cold north winds that recently pre-
vailed dried the surface OF the soil, and
farmers were beginning to take gloomy

Beef cattle are scarce in this section
more so than they have been before
in the past ten years. In fact,
there are none to be had fit for the pur-
pose, except stall cattle, and this, it will be

from the water at one time the Tapping of
their wings sounded like the heavy surf of
the ocean.
The Stanislaus Ne,cs tells this whopper :
awe have in the Ne,cs sanctum a bunch
of wheat which measures four feet to the
top of the longest blades. We do not feel
called upon to state at present on whose
land it grew, or just how many sections
are covered with wheat just like this, but
we will say that it grew in Stanisaus
county, and there is more on the same
land as large, perhaps larger, than the
sample that we have at the office. Fact p

There has never been better prospect
for fine crops in this county since farming
began than we have now. All the grain
has been put in exceedingly well, and al
though the cold weather checked the
growth of the grain, it has been no injury
to it. We were up the road this week as
far as Hon. John Boggs', and every field
looked in splendid condition. Mr.. Boggs'
winter sowing stands thick upon the
ground, and has as good a color as could
be asked. There is also an immense area
sown to wheat IN the county, and if wheat
shall be worth 81 bushel we may calcu-
late on receiving, at least, Sc, 900, 600 for
our wheat crop Colusa Sun.
