few days since by President Dwinelle, Of the
State horticultural Board, and himself, with

9Th Of December, and returning, good until

and promoting the fruit interests of the
State. The Convention viii be held IN the

TARGET PRAcrIoE.-Compsny G (Sarsfield
Guard, in order to promote rife practice
among its members, and maintain their high
standing as sharpshooters, have had manu-
featured a lot of first and second-class medals
of neat design, to compete for as prizes. a
frst-class medal will be given to every men,
Der who makes so per cent. aud over and Q
second-class to all who make from 20 to 80
per cent The medals will be distributed
once a month, and the winners are to be en-
titled to wear them SO long as they can main
tain their standing in the respective classes.
The names will be published once month.
1t is believed that this will have the effect of
making every member or the company good
marksman, or at least there are so few in the
company who cannot make 20 per cent, that
they will strive to get into the second class,
AID thereby have the honor of wearing
medal. Every member must shoot at least
twice in each month, ten shots on any two
days, from which the scorer will ascertain the
percentage.
JOINS BIRTHDAY.-John McDonough, ore
of the attaches Of the Golden Eagle, reached
his thirty-sixth anniversary on the LIST inst
Among the birthday remembrances were fine
looking boxes received by express from San
Francisco, marked G. o. D., and after a
goodly rate OF charges had been paid by the
recipient, he proceeded to open and examine
their contents. One was marked Floral,"
but upon opening was found to contain moth
ing but some weather-beaten Grape decora-
tions. The other was marked " Fish tackle, y
IL
down umbrella. The whole shipment, while
it could not be said to be extremely valuable,
might assert a kneck-lown value OF three
cents at public auetion-if sold after dark.
Mac has chalked down on the sleeve Of his
ulster this probable amount, and over it The
express charges paid, and after careful con-
sideration of it mathematically, says :
There's nothing like being remembered on
fellows birthday"
