The Mountain Lion Ranch.
[COMMUNICATED.l

EDITOR RSENTINEL.-Ye Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining with Gleason Nugent at his uncle's place, known as the Mountain Lion Ranch, and the place pleased me SC that thought perhaps you would like a description of it. It derived the name from | the fact that mountain lion was killed by Mir. Nugent upon the place. 1 have heard, | though, that some envious nimrod has since | vilely insinua,ed that the mountain lion turned ont to be nothing more than Yu. ma County dog
 It was hot day, and the still air was so heavily laden with the sweet fragrance of the lime and orange blossoms, that we gave sigh of relief as we sped out on the open prairie and drew long breath of the fresh, cool breeze that came to us from the river.
 On both sides of us stretched the level prairie, bounded on one side by the mesa and terminating on the other in an undulat- ing line of green, formed by the cottonwood trees, while dimly through the blue haze could be seen the summit of Castle Dome. We emerged after about quarter of an hours walk into a large open space in the center of which stood Mir. NugeHt's domi- cile. MT. Nugent's ranch of about l60 acres Is located about half mile from the railroad, and is right adjoining Mr. Town sends. It is in most desirable position, being sheltered on the east and south by the high mesa lands, while from the river on the north are swept cooling and delicious breezes. Mir. Nugent's cozy little house is in about the center of the ranch, and is made of adobe bricks and covered with a serviceable shingle roof. The house and about five acres of land are enclosed by a strong wire fence, placed there to keep out cattle from injuring or destroying the fine lot of produce growing there, among which is fine lot of watermelons, alfalfa and bar ley which are already from foot to eighteen inches in height. About thirty feet from this enclosure is built strong corral under the shade of a group of mes- quite trees, which is intended for stock. There is also very fine pump upon the place, which forces up most delicious water. The country surrounding the ranch abounds with game, and at noon 1 sat down to fine dinner composed of duck, rabbit and quail, set off by luscious vegetables grown on the farm.
 The hours sped so quickly that it was with sigh of regret I took my departure, and as we pulled slowly home, watching the great red sun set behind the hills, registered in my mind a silent VOW that though the first, it should not be the last time would spend Sunday afternoon at the Mo; n ain Lion Ranch.

A Reprieve for the Cond emned.

Wretched men and women long condemn. ed to suffer the turtures of dyspepsia, are
 filled with new hope after few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek its aid Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia of which chronic in- digestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most bene6cent of stomachics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful elo- quence in those who, benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its behalf. 1t requires grahhic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprietors of the Bitters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness, Constipation, biliousness, muscular debility, malarial levers and rhematism are relieved by it.

A San Diego telegram says that a party of surveyors ar" at work in the ncighborhood of Potrero running line towards San DIego. A gentleman who met the party yesterday says the chief engineer declined to state in the interest of what company they were employed, but the inference left on his mind was that they had been sent out by the Southern Pacific. A member of the party said they had come direct from Yuma and were running a bee line to San Diego.
