The Jack-Rabbit Nuisance.
The Red Rlnff Nerrs sneakin nnnI


subject says;
The Board OF Supervisors have placed a
bounty of fifteen cents on each jack-rabbit
scalp hereafter brought in. This was done
on the strong representation of delegation
of farmers. 1t was shown that young vines
and fruit trees are being destroyed in great
numbers by the rabbits. Where a two-year
growth can be secured the bark becomes too
| tough to tempt the pestiferous little ami
mails, and they do no harm. but their APP
petite for the green bark of the cuttings
Just set out is rapacious, and they gnaw the
lite out of them. Cuttings of several va
rieties of fruit trees were exhibited to the
Board that had been destroyed in this way.
Vines have been cut off twice this year on
some places. Growers have tried to protect
them by slim picket fences and other pre-
cautions, but to no avail. In a district on
Reeds creek, six miles west of Red Bluff,
about two and one-half miles long and one
mile wide, the following losses of vine-cut-
tings have been sustained: Last year
Cromwell, 10000; Conard, 1890; Wright
1000. Total, $4,000. This year-Crum-
well, 10000; Wiseman, 5000; Wright,
1 200 Calkins, 1000; Richlien, 200; Van
SAINT 500; Gooseman, 1000; Conard, 10000;
Lower. 3,0O0 Total, Al, 700. Total in two
years, 81 eco 1t will be seen that this is
serious loss to the men who are trying to
get orchards started. 1t amounts to thou
sands of dollars The determination of the
pests, in the districts infested by them, ap-
pears to be the only remedy. The delega-
ton urged the Board to make the bounty
twenty-five cents, and they still insist that
fifteen cents is not sufficient inducement
to the pursuit of an active campaign
against the destructive animals.

Two Fine improvements.

The building in process of erection at
Twelfth and K streets for Bishop Ma
nogues parochial residence is so far adj
vanced towards completion that it will be
finished and delivered by the contractors
in about three weeks. II is a very hand
some structure, externally and internally.
It's apartments are excellently arranged
ali large. light and well ventilated. and
there is nothing left to- be desired in its
construction.
Work upon the cathedral is being pushed
rapidly, and in about three weeks the base
ment walls, which have been laid in the
most substantial manner, will be ready for
the floor timbers. Those who have not
seen the plans have no idea of the majestic
proportions this magnificent building Is 10
assume, nor of its great beauty As it ad-
vances toward completion Sacramentans
will by degrees become accustomed to the
facts; but even they will be astonished and
delighted when it is fully completed, while
visitors to the city who view it will doubt.
less consider Ii one of the finest edifices IN
California, and credit to the State as well
as to the city. 1t will probably be rooted
in by next fall, and the remainder of the
work can then be carried on regardless of
weather While the expense of construct
ing such building cannot be borne by the
citizens of Sacramento alone, but will have
to be carried in the main by the diocese
of Marysville, it is nevertheless expected
that Sacramentans will contribute literally
towards defraying the cost-both those who
are proud of it religiously and those who
view il as q public benefit. Father Grace
and a committee will call upon citizens
generally for this purpose whenever oppor-
unity nermits

Corporal Tanner, the legless veteran Of
the late war and effective orator. win de-
liver his thrilling lecture, entitled Soldier
Life, Grave and Gay, as Seen by Man in
the Ranks, at the Metropolitan Theater
next Wednesday evening. To those who
heard his spirited political address in this
city lately, no commentator of his ability
as speaker is necessary; but for the bene-
fit of others it may be stated that he not
only possesses the elements of eloquence in
the wonderfully sympathetic quality of his
voice and fervency of delivery, but as a
narrator he is exceptionally able, and he
also entertains and amuses in rare way.
With the theme chosen for his lecture
Wednesday evening he cannot fail to sue
coed in holding his hearers interested con-
stantly; and such graphic descriptions as
he is capable from personal experience OF
giving of life on the battlefield, in camp,
and on the march. are heard so rarely that
the present opportunity is one not to be
neglected. In addition to the lecture there
viii be a musical and literary programme.
in which prominent representatives Of local
talent will take part

A Piece of Art Work.

The circular window for the new Cath
Ole Church in Gait, says the Gazette of that
place, is truly work Of art. 1t is per-
feet gem, representing The planting of the
cross by Christopher Columbus on his
landing in America. The window recalls
in soft colors and silent-speaking figures
the history of the eminent discoverer of the
American continent, and his first act of
faith in lifting up on heather soil the en-
blem of the worlds redemption. 1t is sin
gularly becoming in its lofty setting above
the altar of Catholic church. The sacri-
fees made by Columbus to conquer Amer
lea by peaceful discovery were inspired at
the foot of a Catholic altar, and though the
church of which he was so devout son
has no. yet placed him upon her affairs, she
recognizes and generously extols his serv-
ices in the cause of religion. The heroism
of the man who lifted a continent from out
the seas into the knowledge and possession
of men may be truthfully and aptly re-
called in the church of the saint who once
bore Christ over the waters. The sacrifices
of the sanity man who conquered Califor-
mia to the faith. and the trial of Columbus
who discovered the Western world, will
come to the mind of the devout worshiper
as he lifts his eyes in st. Christopher's
Church at Gait, and, contemplating the
cross planted by Columbus, will thank God
for all the blessings enjoyed in this golden
land.
The window is five feet in diameter built
of the best material John Mallon's art glass
works, of San Francisco, can furnish, and
was designed in the best taste of that en-
inent artist, Ernest Marriott. The picture
with the knightly figures and the pagan
aborigines, half concealed, half in light,
shines out like an historical poem, and will
be always pleasant memory to the wor-
shipper at the humble altar of st. Christie
piers Church, at this place. When at
morning or evening tide the soft mellow
sunshine pours in through this tinted
Rose" and floods the little church with
rich light, revealing the central figure of
the great discoverer, his companions and
the Franciscan Father, pious Christians
will look up to the cross and thank God
for. the blessings vouchsafed us in our
Western home and with devotion exclaim,

Nursery Items.

The Sacramento nurserymen are prepar-
ing their yards for their trees and sprigs
and soon will be ready to fill orders for all
kinds of trees and vines. Politics and poll
ticians are settled for while now and he
who wishes to see his country prosper will
turn his attention to trees and vines, and
the planting of orchards and vineyards.
It is said the favorite pear will no doubt be
the Bartlett, especially in Democratic sec
tons. A well-known nurseryman says
that indications point to more extensive
planting on the part of growers, both for
home gardens and orchards, than for the
past ten years. Such a spirit on the part
of our farmers in the next ten years and
we will have the entire country dotted with
orchards, something that should have been
done long ago. The large call for citrus
trees last year has caused the nurserymen
to have a large stock of oranges, lemons,
etc. on hand, and no doubt but that in the
near future, this, the natural home of the
orange, will contain larger orange-groves
and more of them than are to be found in
the less favored sections in the southern
portion of the State. Oranges are now
ripening in this valley and in the foothills
of Placer, Ell Dorado and Butte counties.

LADY BUG REMEDY.-The Placer Herald
says Z" Robert Williamson, of Sacramento
who owns large fruit ranch near Penryn,
in this county, has been introducing the
two-spotted lady-bug, or scale destroyer, in
the orchards of his neighborhood. They
are said to be very thorough and efficient
remedy for the San Jose scale. The scale
lives on the tree, and the lady-bug lives on
the SCALE tits said that whole orchards in
the San Jose valley have been entirely
cleared of the pest that threatened their de-
struction by this little bug. In one case q
twenty-acre orchard had been abandoned
to the scale. the owner having despaired OF
a remedy. The lady-bug came along and
attacked the scale in that orchard in one
year it had it much improved. and in two
years every scale was annihilated, and the
orchard is now as healthy and thrifty as it

Runaway Accidents.

Saturday afternoon, while Charles Will
Jams. driver of the State House Hotel
omnibus, and T. Elder, clerk at the ho-
tel, were riding in buggy on J street the
forward axle broke, letting one side of the
vehicle drop, and Williams was thrown
out, suffering fracture of one of his legs.
Mr.. Elder seized the lines, but before he
could get the horse under control he turned
into Fourth street, and the buggy struck
the curbing of the sidewalk in such man
ner that Elder was thrown out and so
severely injured in the chest that he fell
while walking to the hotel and had to be
conveyed there. Yesterday both men were
resting as comfortably as could be expected.
The horse cut his legs quite badly during
his struggles.
Saturday morning Charles Wieland was
riding at the Riverside road when his
horse became frightened and ran away,
throwing Wieland with great violence from
his cart to the ground, causing him to
suffer double fracture of the jaw, and
other injuries to his face and body, the
whole being at the time feared to be
dangerous. He was conveyed TO THE County
Hospital, where he received all necessary
attention, and last evening was doing well,
and his hurts were not thought to endan-
GER his life

The INDIVIDUAL, Nor THE NAME.-The
Supreme Court has rendered its decision in
the case of John Stokes, convicted in Sacra-
mento county of adultery, affirming the
decision of the Court below. Stokes mar
ried Rachael NJ. Gibson in this city about
twenty years ago but subsequently, de-
serted his wife and consorted with another
woman, which led to his arrest trial and
conviction on the charge of adultery. He
endeavored to evade conviction on the
showing that the names of himself and
wife did not appear correctly in the mar
rage license, as regarded middle initials,
but the Court held, in effect, that it was in
diyiduals that were married, and not
names.
