a whale was recently found ON thu.
beach near Empire City, Oregon. 1t is Il
large one, and will probably be worth 500
Or $500 to the lucky finder.
Some months ago Il Young man Twin.
near Walla Walla ran off with and married
the daughter oil an ignorant old farmer.
The ignorant old chap didn't say BLESS w,
my children when then they came back.
Shortly afterwards he caused the Young
mars arrest ON charge OF horse stealing.
and came near sending him to the Penten-
tiar:. Last week, the Young MAN and his
Chum took hold Of the old fellow and beat
him until he was nearly dead.
The Workingmcn's Party ofCalitorni;,
died natural death in San Francisco on
Sunday. The members OF the State Cen.
trail Committee met, and, after long dis.
| Cus>ior, decided that 1t was useless to con.
tinle the existence OF the bead Of the organ
ization, which had neither body nor tail.
It was further decided to devote the fund,
, remaining on hand, about $50, to SOM.
worthy charity and as the members seemed
| to consider themselves by the collapse of
the party objects Of charity, they divided it
among themselves.

patch from Sandy we learn, that, yesterday,

and the others were getting their guns

ger of one gun loaded with buckshot. 1t
was discharged and the shot went through
the side Of the shantv and buried nine buck.

Exchange: An old peach tree on J. f.
Deming's place, near Vallejo Cal, has de-
veloped singular freak. A bud voluntar-
lily appeared from a two inch limb which
| this year bore dozen or more sweet, soft
shell almonds, while nothing but insigniti-
cant peaches were produced by the balance
OF the tree. The bud started about four
feet from the ground. No other indications
are observable to indicate that the tree is
any other than an ordinary peach tree. Is
it a case of loud variation:" Equally in.
tere>!ing instances have been nctcd
before and for lack of fuller UNDER
standing OF the work of nature in putting
out the new growth, it has been called "buu
variation" This occurs from, time to time
on fruit trees, forest trees and shrubs, and
several desirable things have resulted.
