The celebration Of the sixteenth of
September, "El Dia Glorioso," the Mex
lean National Independence Day, will
occur this year on Monday. the l7th,
which is the Chileuos' anniversary Of a
similar character. As there are not
enough Chilenosin the city and vicinity
to have separate ioliiication, by their
| joining with the Mexicans, the celebra
tion will be more interesting.
1t seems that Fresno county, with all
its rich land and vast canals, is not ex-
empt from serious insect pest which
attacks young vineyards. 1t is kind
Of army worm, and has appeared in
overwhelming numbers, so that with the
utmost effort it is doubtful if any part of
the grape crop can be saved. One man
has fifteen men at work picking the
worms from the vines, and each man will
average ten gallons Of worms per day.
We observe that Messrs. Hammel &
Denker have purchased the interest of
Mr. Remi Nadeau in the Rancho Rodeo
de las Aguas, 1900 acres Of fine farm
ing land, for S22, 800. 1t is considered
a good bargain. Messrs Hammel &
Denker have now one OF the most pro-
ductive ranches III the country, from
which they supply both their hotels,
besides having large crops for sale to
shippers.
Mr.. R. Porter Ashe aud wife, who

bear, which got him down and nearly
finished him, hut was finally killed,
and was found to weigh $50 pounds.
Mr.. Ashe was evidently "born under a
lucky star. !"
