Reports from the golden state, California
| by letters mailed July 2Sth from Los Angeles
and Oakland, written by ladies from Vermont
| say that 1t has been the hottest season ever
| known there by the oldest people and the oc-
| casional sea breezes were very refreshing. On
! July % the man of war Charleston was an
| chored as near as it could get to San Pedro
| Bay, about l u miles out. Ten thousand peo-
! pie could get aboard at one time In the
evening it was lighted up making a brilliant
| spectacle. One of the writer's speaks of wild
strawberry growing upon the. sand near the
! ocean which is quite curiosity; ripening in
! May and so full of sand as to require several
washngs. There are no wild raspberries but
| blackberries grow wild upon vines which trail
over brush heaps, fences and anything they
| can find for support, but are unlike those in
/ the east and are quite sour. The scenery in
| California may be grander the climate more
celebrating, more fruit, more sunshine and
more excitement, but with all it's advantages
we think New England preferable, especially
! lEermont, with all it's picturesque beauty, a
| good state in fact to beborn.m, to live in, to
| die in, and to be buried in.
