pine, often rs feet high and feet round,
the white oak, madrona and other fine
trees, not to enumerate host OF minor
kinds, such as sycamores, frs, spruces, yue-
cas-, nutmegs, laurels, yews, ETC.
THE CALIFORNIAN MOUNTAINS
Are lofty and picturesque. Mount Shasta,
an extinct volcano, on the north OF Sacra-
mento valley, is IA, 444 feet high. Its sum
nit is crowned by eternal SHOWS; 1t has
two glaciers, from one of which flows
large stream of turbid water, caused by
sediment from the lava. This mountain
can be seen from the plains 126 miles dis
tant. The McCloud river rises from the
SHOWS of Mount Shasta; its course flows
more than 100 miles. 1t is well stocked
with salmon, several varieties of trout, and
other kinds of fish. Lake Tahoe, % miles
in length, IA in width, having depth of
200 feet, and an altitude of 6,216 feet, is
surrounded by lofty mountains, in which
are grizzly, cinnamon and black bears
There is popularity about the waters of
this vast lalle-the bodies of any persons
who may be accidentally drowned therein
are never recovered; it is supposed that
the under currents of water are so petrify-
ingly cold that the bodies do not decom-
pose, and thus no gases are generated to
cause them to rise to the surface. Then
there is the Bonner, three miles in length /;
the Clear Lake, the Blue Lakes three in
number, $500 feet above the sea, and over
| looked by mountains, 5000 feet in hight,
besides many other lovely sheets of water,
| including a glacier lake-the Tenaya-a
mile wide and about half that length.
| This is abundantly stocked with fine fish,.
| THE SACRAMENTO RIVER,
One of the largest navigable streams, on
the east bank of which is the city of that
name, Welded, in the year 1881, a catch OF
about 100000 salmon. Mount Diablo,
on the coast range, landmark in central
California, is only % miles from San Fran
cisco, and from its summit the spectator
obtains good view of that busy city
of the shining dome of the Sacramento
State Capitol, and of more than thirty
towns and hamlets At the foot of this
mountain are valuable collieries, one Of
which, the Black Diamond vein, has beer
worked for upwards of twenty years The
Weld of coal in this district in 1881, was
$4,000 tons. Mount st. Helena is 4 ,34s
feet in hight and Mount Hamilton A, 44(
feet Besides these, there are many other'
of almost equal hight, amongst them the
Santa Cruz and Mount Gabriel We reac
: that on the slopes of the latter there are
sew eral thousand acres of highly cultivated
land, diversified by orange and lemon
groves, and productive vineyards. Mucl
more might be written concerning thi
wonderful country, the more prominen
natural features of which We have briefly
indicated, whilst endeayoring to draw at
tention to the almost unequaled advan
tages and attractions offered by southern
California as fruit-growing region to the
intending colonist.

VACCINATION DANGERs.-During re-
cent discussion by company of Hiberni-
ans on the subject of vaccination, when its
opponents and supporters had fairly ex-
kausted their arguments, one of the COM
pany, who had not hitherto spoken, volun-
teered his opinion that, far from being n
benefit to the human race, the precaution
was both dangerous and unnecessary. AZ
will give you proof" he said. The son
of a friend of mine, as healthy little fell
low as you would wish TO see, was vacci-
mated by an idiotic medical man who at
tended the family, and what was the con-
sequence? He died two days after the
operation had been performed Here the
speaker paused for moment, evidently
gratified by the impression he had made
on his hearers ''Yes, gentlemen" he con-
tinued, "the poor lad, who was as active as
a squirrel, was in the act of climbing a
tree, when, branch giving way, he lost
his hold and was killed by the fall. Don't
talk to me of vaccination after that" = The
Sanitarian.

DEATHS AT DIFFERENT AGEs.-A Stats
tician, Dr. Farr, we believe it was, recently
stated that if one could watch the march
of 100000 people through life, the fol
lowing would be observable; Nearly $780,
600 would die the first year, $4,000 the
second year, $4,000 the third year, and
less than 1000 in the thirteenth. At the
end of forty-five years 100000 have died.
At the end of sixty years $4,000 would be
still living; at the end of eighty years,
$1,000; at eighty-ive, 81 900; and at
ninety-fve years there would be 223; at
the end of l0S years there viii be one sur

This is to certify that l am well acquainted
with a man 30 years of age, for many years
resident of this CITY, who has been at times ex-
tremely i'll, but could not tell from what cause
unless it was worms. He told his attending ply
stefan his suspicious, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, and refused to attend him
any longer His son then mentioned Or. c. Nc
Lanes Nermifllge, and asked him if he would
take it ; his reply was-I must take something to
to get relief, or die.
They at once procured bottle of Dr. c. Ne
Lanes VermfNgo, and he took one dose. The re-
suit was he passed upwards OF ttrec quarts Of
arOri1S, cut up in every form. He got well i'm
mediately, and is now enjoying excellent health ;
and, like the good Samaritan of old. is endeav-
oring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors. He
makes it his business to hunt UP and select all
cases similar to his own, that may be given over
by regular physicians, and induces them to try
DR.. McLane's Vermifuge. So far he has induced
more than twenty persons to take the Ner1ni-
fuge, and in every case with the most happy re-
suits. He is well satisfied that DR.. C. McLane's
vennifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros; Pitts
burgh, Pa, is far superior to any other known
remedy, and if more generally known would
not fail to save many valuable lives. For fur
ther particulars inquire of Mrs. Hardie, 1l4H

A STRANGE ANIMAL-In referring to
animals of peculiar anatomical construction
the "possum' is one of the most wonder
full. He is of the marsupial genus, i. e.,
with a false belly or pouch wherein to
suckle the young and also place of safety
for them. The period of CESSATION of the
possum is not known, for the reason that
it is claimed that the young ones are
voided directly into the pouch, where they
remain and literally grow on the teats of
the mother. We are informed by a natu-
ralist who made a dissection of a
female 'possum that he found young
ones about two inches long fast
ened firmly on the teats; so at
tached were they that dissection had
to be made to get them off The
younger ones are only weaned when
there is no longer room for them
in the mothers pouch. They then make
their way outside, but in case of alarm or
an emergency, the little ones crawl inside
of the pouch and are at once carried off by
the MOTHER New York World

Is the season III which bad or poisoned blood is
most apt to show itself Nature, at this iuncture,
needs something to assist it in throwing off the
impurities which have collected by the sluggish
circulation of blood during the cold winter
months. Swilts Specific is natures great helper,
as it is purely vegetable Alternative and tonic.
Rev. L. B. Paine Macon, Ga. writes I'VE
have been using Swift's Specific al the orphans
home as Il remedy for blood complaints and as
general health tonic and have had remarkable
results from its use on the children and en-
ployes of the institution 1t is such an excellent
tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the sys-
ten is less liable to disease. 1t has cured some
of our children of Scrofuia."

The greatest social event, an
nounced for some time to come of,
took place in the grove just below
town last Thursday. The day was
cool and pleasant a platform for
the dancers was erected in beauti-
full grove Of sycamore, whose dense
foliage ayerted the rays Of the sun.
Refreshment stands, swings and
shooting galleries added to the COM
fort and amusements Of the merry
makers. At noon, baskets, filed
with daintlY prepared food, were
brought from their hiding places,
and then dinner was in order, when
all did eat; and although no miracle
was performed, when the rem
nants were gathered up, there were
found enough to have fed two or
three hundred more. But the good
housekeepers Of Osceola and yiciui-
ty, never do things by halves when
1t comes TO getting up something TO
eat. At night the picnicers repaired
to the Hall, where a gay and joyous
throng continued the dance until
the wee sma' hours. Altogether, it
was one Of the most delightful af-
fairs We have Witnessed in our little
town in many day. The Glee
Club deserves great credit for the
manner in which the whole affair
was conducted.

Mr. ". II SonGcld, the clever

town this week, soliciting trade and
getting acquainted with our business
men. He took in the Picnic and

general favorite among the fair sex.
While Post Master Goodrich
was engaged in opening the mail
last Thursday morning, a young col
ored boy, who was lounging about
the store, stole hat, a pair of sus-
pend"rs, and perhaps some other
triiling articles, and left uuobserged
by the Post Master. lie was seen.
however, by parties on the outside,
who from his actions, suspected that
something WAS wrong. On being
arrested, the above named articles
were recovered.
The Justices of the Peace of
the several townships tried hard to
decide that the Incorporated town Of
Osceola had no right to levy a tax
on itself. Might as well say that
District No. / can dictate to District
No. 2, what tax shall be levied for
school purposes, in that District.
The duty of the justices was simply
to approve the levy and order the
same entered on the tax books by
the clerk. No more, no less.
The proceedings in the justices
court begin to remind US of old times,
before the saloons were closed, and
Squire Rountree held his regular
daily matinees. Squire Felts' dock
ct shows seven or, eight cases this
week on various charges Of assault,
assault and battery, concealed weap-
ons, disturbing religious services,
and so on through the catalogue, all
directly traceablo to whisky. The
Mayors court, in the mean time,
coming in for II fair share Of the same
sort of business. And yet the peo-
pie don't seem to be happy. The
merchants who were told that
licensed saloons would bring them
trade, are lounging with their clerks
in the shade, and with the exception
of the saloon keepers, and perhaps
the Doctors and Druggists, who
poultice up the bruised mugs Of the
patrons Of the former, not one in ten
gets to handle more money than he
knows what to do with. But per
haps we are too hasty, and the good
results promised, and which are to
grow out OF the tralic,may yet over
take Osceola and her people; when
their pockets will be bulged out and
ready to burst with wealth, and
broad smile Of content and happi-
ness will settle on their bloated
eountenanees; when peace and quiet
will reign at the homes of our ciu-
zens, and her women will no longer
dread the coming Of their lords and
masters. May God hasten the day.
