leading from Georgetown to Richlsnd. The
water above The filing rose about four feet.
Property owners affected by the overflow
opened up the canal and relieved the lands
Quite an excitement exists in the vicinity,
aud threats are made Of local war in the

terested in maintaining the canal intact.

Hrs IDEA OF TELEGRAPHY.-Hs walked
into the office. wrote message to his friend
at Plscerville, stepped to the receivers win
dow and paid his 40 cents. The young man
sent the message in less than minute, folded
the copy and put it in q pigeon-hole. The
countryman kept cycling him all the while
and fiually blurted cut: say, young fell
low, / thought you were going to send that
message right off," The operator looked up
and said, MY dear fellow, your message has
been sent" Z" Look here, no circus, young
fellow. Ii that message has gone, what ia
HI is it doing in that bcx thers?" The
operator tainted
a MISERABLE PLEA.-No more silly nor
insulting argument q was ever used to bolster
weak cause, than that advanced by corre-
spoLdent () in the evening paper, that the
Central Pacific Railroad Company may pos
sibly build depot at Brighton junction and
run line from there to Lincoln and leave
Sacramento cut in the cold. That the pr.cau-
tionsry measure of fortifying against the
threat Of the American river is therefore in
the interests Of the railroad COMPANY. Silly
twaddle insulting to the lowest intelligence,
and even unworthy o sheet SO lost to shame
as our degenerate contemporary.
THICKNESS OF THE LEvzEs.-An insuffsr-
able amount Of Rush is INDUCED in because
the levse improvement plans do not now con-
template raising the north levee along the
whole line Thickness and increased slope Of
present levees is really more necessary than
TO raise old levees higher row. A tbia levse
Is useless, no matter how high. With the
special tax, the levees will be thickend Whers
needed. Without il they cannot be. Ask
any levae builder or river bank or island resi-
dent what the top of narrow legee in ex-
IRENE high water is worth, compared to
broad one?

DELAYED TRAIHs.-The express train due

get ia until 1870 a. NJ. yesterday. The Ma
pIeson Opera Company's special, On its way
to San Francisco arrived half an hour later,

noon was about two hours late in its arrival,
having found . landslide near Niles and been
compelled 10 60 back ard come MP by way Of
Martinez. The California AID Oregon train
was held until the Western arrived, leaving
about $50.
WHY, INDEED why are all the CON-
munity anxi3ua about the levess: Why was
the inquiry all day yesterday made about
rain in the mountains Why did thousands
say The leyee tax ~il carry now" Be-
cause we all dread a conjunction of high
water ia tho American and Sacramento.
This proves that we feel insecure; that we
are taking chances. Let as fortify until we
shall b. Indifferent to any such au event.
TREY HARP.-They harp and howl about
Front street. It is right at hand If water
ran over it, except for moral effect, it could
not DO much harm before being checked But
when it runs over there it will crown the north
levee. pass Brighton swale, and sweep into
the city. That ia why Front street ia spoken
of, to point the danger miles distant.
Do Nor BE DECEIVED. the card of
the Trustees. Thsy tell the people thst the

named Perfume, whom he wss takiuS TO
Stockton. The prisoner was very violent,
and had to be ironed and strapped closely,
Two.THIRDs.-It takes txo.thirds vote to
carry the special levee tax. Friends of the
measure must make sacrifices and work to
defect the minority by even more than is re-
quired. Lsvee improvement is handicapped
remember that.
