JAPANESE PERsIMMoNs. - Two twigs of
frait cut from the japanese persimmon trees
of James A. Elliott, whose orchards are
shout half mile west of Newcastle, Placer
county, were brought TO the RECORD UNION
Office yesterday and present fine specimens of
this new kind Of fruit. The cuttings are not
to exceed fifteen inches in length, and have
FIVE matured persimmons, of large size and
luscious appearance, upon each. There are
several trees of this variety of fruit now grow
ing in this city, but none have shown such an
abundant yield as the sample from the above
orchards, and in fact but very small per
cent. Of the trees planted here have lived, so
that but little is as yet known from local
growth of the new bidder for popular favor.
nor as to the success with which it may be
planted in this vicinity.
DELAYED TRAINs.-Ye sterday regular pas
seuger trains over the California and Oregon
Railroad did not arrive until 1l:45 P. NJ, be-
ing about twelve hours behind time. The

Sheridan, at place where the slickeus from
the mines has SO filed up the bed of the
streams that they overflow the surrounding
country whenever the water rises. The water
rose slightly on Monday night and overlooked
the railroad track, and so softened the ground
upon which the road-bed is located that il

train, and arrived here as stated above. 1t ii

time tomorrow.
