There was a light fall of rain at Emigrant

below Sacramento, which escaped with only
threatening clouds. A heavy rain just now
would injure the grape and raisin crop,

alias warrant; All Wah. by officer Nc
Cormack and Deputy Constable Swift, for

Raisin-making is well advanced in Sacra-
mento and Yolo counties, and the end of
this week will find most of the first crop
packed away. The weather has been re-
markably fine for curing, and, as the grapes
were very carefully selected by most of
those engaged in the business, the raisins
promise to be a very superior article.

Judge Henry came up smiling yesterday
from his rather peculiar defeat in Conven-
ton on the previous evening, and in dis
c~ussing the cause of the opposition to his
nOmlDatlOn remarked tDat ne WAS Sidu tDdt
it was based ON nothing more serious than
his opposition to gaming. He was aware
that many citizens were in favor of gam
bling being tolerated, or winked at, but the
law made gaming a crime, and that being
the case it was his plain duty to treat it as
such, and he had only done his duty. In
one respect he was gratified at his failure
to get the nomination under the circum-
stances, as it had shown him that be had
many more warm friends than he had
dared to hope for.
Yesterday afternoon C. c.. Clifford swore

that Norton "%swapped" horses on We'd
nesday with Clifford, who resides about
five miles from the city. Yesterday he be-
came convinced that Clifford had misrepre-
sented the horse that he had transferred,
and accordingly Norton and De Marsh
drove to Clitford's place, and explained
their views to him so earnestly that he
thought they were going to assault him,
and ran away. They then "%swapped"
horses back again. bringing to the city the
animal Norton originally owned.
