An Eastern Dealers Estimate o. Our
Fruits.


Fruits.
The following letter has been received
from a representative of one of the leading
New York fruit firms, who is now on this
coast:
"The position of California TO the con-
sumers of the East is to her advantage
She is three thousand six hundred
miles from the toiling masses OF the cities,
towns and villages adjacent to the Atlantic
coast. They are virtually the consumers
OF the largest amount of the productions
of this country. One of the most important
products of this State is fruit. Fruit culture
is at present in its infancy. The supply
the past year has been so abundant that
the prices were quite unsatisfactory
to many growers. The question for the
future is to create a demand equal to the
supply. The acreage of fruit trees thatWill
come in bearing the next few years, with
out q corresponding outlet, Will cause q
glut in the market that will render fruit
growing failure and financial loss. New
York with its two millions inhabitants is
the financial center, the depot for foreign
fruits, the distributing point for all
Eastern products. Therefore California
fruits, to reach the masses, must meet its
competitors upon euudt SiOttHUo W IN
equal prices, and at the center Of the
market Can this question be solved ?
Tie California fruits that have been dis
tributed to the East has been shipped from
Chicago at q large percentage to the middle
man. Il has been sent only in small
quantities 70 reap a fabulous harvest. AS
your fruits are one month earlier than
Eastern fruits. the first shipments viii
bring fancy prices and will pay the ship
per.
''But this is an outside question. You are
to look at the market for the whole season.
when there is a large amount OF Eastern
inferior fruit to be marketed. With present
railroad arrangements a carload of fruit
shipped direct to New York from Sacra-
mento to arrive at New York in seven
days, will average q fraction of four cents
pound for freight charges. In the fifteen
car trains that the railroad have offered
your fruit can be landed in New XoIk and
other Eastern cities at two cents a pound
The time from Sacramento to Chicago is
eighteen miles an hour; from Chicago to
New York it IS thirty five miles an hour.

have been the snake. From
that time he could distinctly
feel something moving in his

he encountered was at times
when he felt something rising
in his throat. DR.. Brumbaugh
tells the story as follows;
Mr.. WheatIy came to my
office some three days ago,
when he explained his symp-
toms to me. He at times, he
said, placed pieces Of ice in his
mouth 20 effect the stoppage of

The doctor described the
scene in his Office as a lively
one. The snake having come
out almost unexpectedly star

doctor stated, is much delighted
over the removal Of the snake,

RESOURCES OF YUBA.
1t would be difficult to find anywhere in
the favored valley of the Sacramento sell
superior to that of Yuba-cither in the val

the soil is of a vegetable mold. On the
higher plains it contains sand. clay, lime,
iron, and various saline and alkaline mat
tiers. Fertility is not its only claim upon
the attention of the agriculturist, for it pos
sessesses qualities Of an enduring character.
Created by long-continued washings from
the mountains above, it has great depth and
richness. The soil of the foothills is differ

grape culture especially.
The products of the soil embrace all the
usual semi-tropical grains. fruit, etc. The
average yield of wheat is eighteen bushels
to the acre, and of barley twenty-five. APP
pies, peaches. pears, plums, apricots, cher
ries, nectarines, etc, are successfully grown
in all parts of the county, as well as the
smaller fruits and berries. The orange,
lemon, olive, fig and almond are grown

advantages and inducements for people to
engage in fruit and grape culture, scarcely

county has ever been cultivated. Here

the struggling farmer of the East TO reflect
J upon.

FRENCH WALNUT.-The finest and most
costly of the veneer wood is French wal
nut-a wood that does not come from
France, but from Persia and Asia Minor.
The tree is crooked and dwarfed, and is
solely valuable for the burls that can be
obtained from it. These are large, tough
excrescences growing upon the trunk. In
these the grain is twisted into the most
singular and complicated figures. The in
tricacy of these figures, combined with
their symmetry, ls one of the elements
that determine the value of the burl
Color and soundness are other elements of
value, which varies very widely. Burls
worth from $500 to $1,000 each are not
rare and at the Paris Exposition for 1878
one burl weighing 1920 pounds was sold
for 5000, or upwards of 81 a pound.

REGARDING scaooL-BooK
The State has heretofore selected as it
needed from those privately published. OF
course, this has led ii into the same diff
culties experienced elsewhere concerning
changes, and the contention of publishers,
and the control of the several School
Boards sometimes carried into the Legisla-
ture and the State Board of Education.
Now, however the State is engaged in
printing the most of the books to be used
in the primary and grammar schools, and
these are to be furnished to the people at
cost. We had well nigh neglected to men
ton the several military schools of the
State-all private institutions, but all en-
loving the confidence of the public. There
are also a number of seminaries conducted
by popular educators, and one of these has
but recently taken on the honors of a col
lege, and called to itself as President one
of the most distinguished educators of the
East.
u SACRAMENTO,
The Capital City, there are two grammar
schools, a high school, graduation from
which insures entry to the State Uniyer-
sity-so excellent is its standing, and a
large number of primary schools under the
State system. A local tax is laid for the
support of these, in addition to the funds
received from the State. The school-houses
are of the very best, and the more promi-
nent are handsome architectural ornaments
to the city. In no place in the State are
better salaries paid to teachers, or higher
degree of competency required. There are,
in addition, several private primary schools,

many private donations have been made to
it, and handsome buildings erected for
special purposes and stocked by the mu-

the State, with boundless pride in the

propriates funds for its enlargement and
