Word for the North.
Evidently not to all men are things as
fair in the south of the State as they are
painted The efforts of the Northern Cal
ifoTnia immigration Association are bear
ing fruit daily. More attention has been
drawn to the advantages of the region north
Of the waist Of the State in the past year
than IN all the years preceding Incidental
to these thoughts is q letter received yester-
day by Sacramentan from a gentleman
who went to the south full of enthusiasm
Tor II and anxious TO invest. He writes
from one of the southern counties most
praised, saying: Il have been in this
county. trying 1t and - county. and
must say, after years experience, that it
is too - hot by long sight / understand
there are some fine lands in the north sec

satisfied with a place of so or 100 acres

map of the region and a catalogue of de-
sirable places, if possible" If the CORE
spondent will go lar enough north or to a
foothill altitude he can escape great heat
or severe cold. There is room in plenty in
the Sacramento valley and on its borders.
Pocket-farms ready to hand may not be
plentiful, but for the man willing to con-
Quer in tickling the belly of the earth and
making it laugh with yielding, there is
ample opportunity, however modest the
means.
JAPANESE BANGOR. W. Lewis has
sent this office a stalk of bamboo, about
thirteen feet in hight, and the following
note: send you a stalk of bamboo cut
from clump on my lawn, of this years
growth. The root was bought five years
ago, under the name of japanese bamboo.
The annual growth is about the hight of
this sample, and is cut down each winter,
to start afreSh in spring as an ornamental
shrub, on account of its striped leaf and
general beauty. The root stools out rapid
ly, and its extra growth has been given or
thrownsaway-to keep it from spreading
over too large space. This is one of ninety
stems growing in an area two feet square
Long and short. If left to stand the second
Gear, the leaves are much smaller, the stem
harder the general appearance less attrac-
tive, and the growth no higher. l send
you also walking stick cut from a second
years growth, which is quite firm in text
ure, yet lacking in strength.

peared, and by the time she had made the
passage OF the draw the P. NJ. train from
San Francisco was waiting at the bridge,
and the lady's team and others had to back
off. She became alarmed, fearing an acct
dent, and tainted, occasioning considerable
excitement. When the draw is about to
be opened chain is put up at the end of
the bridge to keep teams off but ON this
