HARVEST HANDS ScARcE.-From every
side, not only in the vicinity Of Sacramento,
but throughout the Sacramento, valley there
comes the complaint Of scarcity of men to
handle the crops. The Modesto Journal
says This scarcity of lsborers in Stanislaus
10 perhaps attributable TO the reports OF dry
year aud short crop which have gone abroad;
but, doubtless, the absence of many men at
this time is in consequences of the heavy draft
for laborers made by the northern railroads
now in course Of construction, and which
have almost swept the labor market bare.
Still from San Francisco continually comes
the cry Of men wanting work. II some of
those fastidious individuals who prefer the vices
of the city to the healthful employments of
the country would take off their coats and
put in their time in the harvest field they
would find themselves improved, both fnan-
cislly, morally and physically.
