 John Whifler of Simonsville lost horse on the night of Tuesday, July II, under peculiar circumstances. MT Whit1er is a dipper and platter by trade and goes about working few days in different towns where his services are required. On the evening in question he started to drive to New Haven, and when about five miles from the Elm City, his horse being tired he decided to camp for the night. During the night the animal broke it's fastenings and escaped, and no trace of it has since been found by its owner. The horse was large sorrel animal, with one white foot and anyone knowing of it's whereabouts should notify MT Whitier who can il afford the loss of the animal.
 The potato bug is now considered by farmers an evil that must be endured. Fol few years after its appearance many far mers ceased raising potatoes, but at pre- sent the soil of Connecticut is providing thousands of bushels of potatoes and the bugs are systematically fought with poison | Paris green has been pretty generally useo | until this year. Now farmers are using white arsenic. Paris green costs thirty cents per pound, arsenic from six to ter cents per pound. When purchasing arsenic people should have it colored with lamI black to prevent its being mistaken fol saleratus or other white substances ot household use. This is suggestion of the officials at the Connecticut experimental station.

THE situation in Europe has changed for
the better, as the result of the publication
of the treaty between Austria and the
German Empire. 1t is a compact binding
each party to render to the other instant
and all possible aid in case either is in
vo!ved in war with Russia OF course,
Italy is Il silent partner in the agreement
1t is stated in the dispatches that it is not
intended to be menace to Russia, but
rather an Expression Of desire for peace
This is the diplomatic way of putting it,
but, in plain English, it is a mandate to
Russia to withhold her hand and warn
ing that if she does not do So she must
expect to meet in the field both the great
German powers, aided by Italian SYM
pathy, and, if need be, military assistance
Just what would result should Russia in
wade Slav States, the treaty affords no
aid in divining. 1t is not violent con-
lecture, however. to forecast the interfer-
ence of Austria to prevent the further sub
jugation of Bulgaria, in which case it is
altogether probable that the aid of Ger
many could be depended upon to check any
southeastern advance by Russia. The pub
LEGATION of the treaty may be counted upon
as insurance of the peace of Europe, and
that the financial market has already re-
Elected confidence in that belief, is one of
the significant incidents of the hour.

1t sounds rather strange to say that jury
is on trial, but as a matter of fact in con-
siderable proportion of the jury trials il is
the jury instead Of the prisoner at the bar

The government of large cities in this
country is generally corrupt, and almost as
generally incompetent. Corrupt govern
ment is always costly, and rarely carried
on with any regard to the interest of the
people governed. Popular suffrage does
not work well in the great cities, nor even
i'll smaller ones, because the mass of voters
in such places do not really care for the
public interest.-Sal Diego Union.
Whether the decision of the Supreme
Court of this State in the celebrated Sharon
case be right or wrong-that is, whether it
be based upon sound legal principles or be
in contravention of the letter and spirit of
the existing laws-its effect must be ad-
mitted to be deplorable in the extreme.
The remedy for this state of things lies
with the Legislature. The amendment of
two or three sections of the Civil Code
would serve every purpose the chief one
being to make the law declare in terms
that no marriages except such as are
solemnized should receive legal recognition
under any circumstances or conditions.-S.

SHASTA PARK AGAIN.

A few days ago the REcoRD-UNIos re-
ferred extendedly to the proposed roserva-
ton OF ten townships of mountain
wooded lands in Shasta county for a
national park for this coast, and approved
the suggestion. 1t is gratifying to
notice that the idea is received with gen
eral favor. Aside from the desirabiliiy of
such park for resort by tourists, we
referred to the absolute need OF such a
reservation rs game preserve This is
a strong reason for it. An example of the
benefits of reservations for that purpose is
found in the case of the Yellowstone
Park. 1t is a fact that the only remaining
heard of bison within the territory Of the
United States, il not on the Continent, is
10 be found in that park, the reservation
protecting them. Yet twelve wears ago
the bison was numbered 10y the hundreds
OF thousands upon the plains and hills Of
the great hasin. The elk, once exceed
ingly plentiful in California, have been
practically exterminated and only a dozen
head now remain, protected by 4 private

is glsringly Inaccurate, and is in Just such

SACRAMENTO, February 3, 1883.
Hon. 4. j. SbeTlU0cd, NdrgsriHe-GEAR FIR /:
Yours Of even date, rendering your resignation
as member of the Board of state Fish Commits
sioners, has been received, and in reply | am
instructed by the Governor to say that he POSI-
lively declines to accept the same, recognizing
your close attention TO the business OF the Com
mission and your ability in fulfilling all the
duties incumbent upon you. The Governor in
sis,s upon withdrawal OF your letter of resg-
nation. Yours truly, NJ. ID BoRUCK,
Private Secretary
Mr.. Sherwood was seen by a reporter last
evening, and asked for statement relative
to the matter, and the reasons for the action
by the Governor in removing Commissioner
Harvey, and also for rendering his own
resignation. In reply he said Some
time ago the Governor removed Commits
sioner Reuter- and appointed j. ID. Red
ding his successor, but Mr.. Reuter- declined
to recognize the right to remove him with
out cause, and the matter was taken into
Court by Mr.. Redding, and has not yet
been decided. | was of the opinion that
Mr.. Harvey ought to be removed, if either
as he had not been an efficient member
while MIR. REUTER- had devoted considera-
bic time to the business. Since the removal
of Mr.. Reuter-, his authority to act has
been questioned, and it has made more
work and responsibility for me. Some of
my recommendations relative to the man
agement of affairs of the Commission have
been ignored by the majority, notably that
of the removal of J. w. Village, late Chief
of Patrol, who committed suicide in San
Francisco on January 9th last had in
yestlgated the charges against Village and
knew that he was extravugant in expenses
inefficient, and unfit for the place. The
Governor had suggested TO the members of
the Board that Village should be dis
charged. Yet Commissioners Rou,ier and
Harvey voted against his dismissal. Then
came the suicide and the Coroners inouest
which brought out some ugly stories rela-
tive to Village, which considered not
very complimentary to the Commission,
and this was followed by some severe crit
clsm by the newspapers, and a request that
the Governor investigate The Commission
These are my reasons for Offering my resig-
nation. The Governor hiss refused to ac-
cept it, and in such kind words that | must
respect and obey the commands of my su-
perior officer. For the reasons herein stated
the Governor removed Commissioner Har-
vey and appointed John X Orr, OF San
Francisco, and has requested me to meet
with him and MIR Redding al an early day
and organize the new Board for efficient
work. ! have devoted more time to the
work OF the Com miSSlon than could really
afford, and have in all matters done what

THE DELAYED TRAINS,
General Manager Townc Denies False
hoods Concerning the Subject

General Manager Towne Denies False
hoods Concerning the Subject.
The statement having been made that
the passengers upon the California and
Oregon trains, detained at Sissons by the
heavy land-slides, are required to work for
the company, if they have no money, in
order to get food, General Manager A. N.
Towne says to an Examiner reporter
1T is so great an outrage to charge us
with trying to force our delayed passengers
to work for their food that l cannot imag-
inc who, or what circumstances, could have
enabled anyone to circulate such reports,
when | am positive there is not one word
of truth in them. / know it is an awful
trial to the patience of anyone to be tied up
In that country for week or more, but the
company cannot help it. The land-slides
come unawares. They were very extensive
in character. We have bent every energy
to get the trains through to San Francisco
since January 2Sth, but have found it i'm
possible. Just as soon as the occurrence
of the land-slides became known at the
head office, Division Superintendent George
was ordered to put at work all the men he
could employ to clear the track. Men were
sent up from here also, and now there are
600 men at work, and night and day shifts
are employed.
" In addition will say that my instruc-
tons to the agent al. Sissions..was to feed, at
the expense of the company, all those
passengers who had run short of money.
There is good country hotel right at the
SESSIONS station, and dozen more eating
houses close by, and hardly believe that
the agent is not properly obeying his duty
in seeing that all those without money get
three meals day. As for sleeping accom-
mediation the first and second-class passen-
gers have their regular sleeping-cars."
Superintendent George" continued the
gentlemen, has been instructed to give the
delayed passengers daily bulletins of the
progress OF the work being done to clear the
track this side of Sissons. Further, he has
been ordered TO procure stage teams and
wagons, so that either to-day or to- morrow,
and not later than Tuesday, the train
may be run this way as far as possible, and
then have the passengers transferred by
wagon across the very bad places down to
Delta, where they can take the trains for

CROP PRosPEcTs.-The rain. although it
came rather late, is al that could be de-
sired by the farmers. Will S. Green, in
speaking of his section, says: I'VE have
been from the north to the south of Colusa
county in the last few days, we have seen
every character of land, and everywhere it
looks as though every grain of wheat had
sprouted. Never before have we seen such
a magnificent prospect for every class of
soil. And there are more acres in wheat
in this county tins season than ever before.
The cold weather has kept the frlit buds
back so they will probably not get nipped
by the frost Truly 1888 makes 10 Colusa
county splendid promises" What Mr..
Green says of Colusa is true of Sacramento
Yolo, Amsdor and FL Dorado, and no doubt
is trie of the whole northern section of the

MIA for their hides; yet the statute is
ignored and deer hides are so plentiful as
to be regularly quoted in the market. In
the north part of the State they are be-
ing slaughtered, and the deer must in
few years become extinct unless protected
by reservation. In the Sierra upland Of
Amador, Calaveras and Eldorado the deer
is becoming more and more scarce, and
parties slaughter them in defiance of the
law, and for the hides as well as mere
sport and out of sheer wantonness. The
proposed Shasta Park will, if reserved, be-
come breeding ground for deer and for
several varieties of feathered game now
being destroyed without reason. Accessible
trout streams are becoming rare, but those in
Shasta Park can be preserved and the catch
kept within reason. These, we repeat, are
very important considerations, and are
alone sufficient to justify the sequestration
of the lands in the romantic Shasta mount
aims. 1t appears to us that the sports
mems associations on the coast ought to
take action in this matter, and cast their
influence in favor of securing the reserva-
ton. Whatever is done in the matter
ought to be done at once, that settlers may
not further increase in the region named
OF course those who have gained rights
already cannot be disturbed, but they are
as yet comparatively few.

The strikes in the coal regions are most
largely promoted by foreign laborers who
in their native places did not get one
third the wages which they here receive,
nor live one third as well. 1t appears to
be the rule that the most disconnected in
the labor ranks are those who have most
to be thankful for. Except IN degree, the
strikes in the coal sections do not differ
from strikes elsewhere and generally, nor
are the methods greatly different. In the
coal fields they are characterized by more
of the spirit of lawlessness, however, and
the disposition to resort to force and ap-
peals to mob law, as is always the result
where the motive power springs from the
lower levels Of intelligence The laborers
in Pennsylvania, who burn and destroy
property, and beat and kill those who dis
agree with them, are mainly those who in
Europe, whence they came, had few per-
sonal liberties, and in case of strikes
marked by savagery, would have become
food for powder. No lesson is more pro-
nounced in these Pennsylvania riots and
strikes than that intelligence, knowledge
and due appreciation of the American sys-
tenn, and respect for inalienable rights, is
essential to order and the well-being of
American society. If we continue to in
ject into our labor system the worst and
lowest elements of European civiliza-
ton, we must expect to have such
troubles as those of Pennsylvania multiply
upon our hands. The laboring classes that
appreciate American institutions, assimi-
late with them, attach themselves from
conviction to our systems, and are i'm
pressed with the obligations that attend
American citizenship are not likely to
cause trouble, or to resort to iawless
methods.
