ROUGH ON HYMAN.
What it Cost Him to Recover Nine
teen Dollars.
A Rather Expensive Lesson in Litiga-
tion-The Darmody Boys Clothes
Jurors Questions.

Tho hearing of the suit of Jacob Lyman
against Mrs. s. f. Darmody for the re-
coyery ofseveral hundred dollars, alleged
to be due for merchandise purchased by
Mrs. Darmody's sons, was concluded in
Superior Judge Van Fleets court yes
terday.
Three of Mrs. Darmody's sons are of
age while the fourth is still a minor. The
family had been in the habit Of keeping
running account with Hyman, but as the
sons reached their majority, the mother
declined further responsibility for their
debts. Hyman's claim was that he was
never notified of this and consequently
had a right to recover from Mrs. Oar
mody. But the testimony for the defense
was that all Of the boys except the minor,
had notified Hyman to charge the pur-
chases TO them personally and not to
their mother.
After the case was argued by the attor-
neys on both sides it was submitted to
the jury.
THE JURY PERPLEXED.
After celebrating several hours the
jury came into court, and the foreman
announced that they could not agree.
Judge Van Fleet wanted to know what
was the matter.
Juror Bauer said there were several
questions they were in doubt about. IN
the first place they wanted to know
whether or not q mother should be re-
sponslble for the debts of q son who was
not Of age. They also wanted to know if
q verdict for the defendant would release
her from all liability for Hyman's bills,
and If the jury had anything to say as to
who should pay the costs.
Judge Van Fleet replied to the uues-
TlOnS in their Orflpr Tho bilitu
OF the mother for a minor sons debts de-
pended entirly upon circumstances
there was no rule of law affecting such a
case-and the jury would have to rely en-
tlrely upon its own judgment and the
evidence. verdict for the defendant
certainly would release her from all liza
bility, and the jury had nothing to do
with the costs of case.
The jury then retired again, and re-
turned in quarter Of an hour with YER
dict for Lyman for the sum of SI9-this
being the amount OF purchase made by
the one minor son, and not paid for.
IT WAS ROUGH.
Hyman looked very disconsolate when
he heard the verdict.
he had right to be, for the suit turned
out TO be q very bad speculation for him
1t seems that just before the taking of
testimony in the suit was commenced,
the attorney for Mrs, Darmody offered in
court 10 seJLIe WIN Lyman by paying
him S25 and the costs Of suit. This Hy-
man refused. The rule in such cases is that
If the party who refuses this offer fails to
get judgment for that much he must pay
the costs Of the suit.
This was the rather awkward position
that Hyman found himself in when the
SO verdict was rendered.
The jury fees alone amount to SIS, and
when he gets through with the Clerks
and attorneys fees. the costs will have
reached a couple Of hundred dollars.

Total South


fruits are nearly all shipped from the
north; that shipments of dried fruit fi-on
the north exceed those from the south
over 100000 pounds; that five-eig hths
of the raisins go from the north; that
nearly all the canned goods go from the
north; that Of tie wine and brandy,
cight-ninths go from the north; that
nearly all the nuts, and practically AID the
oranges, go from the south.
1t Will also be noted that the green de-
ciduous fruit exported from the State
about equal the value of oranges: that
the dried fruits are more than four times
the value of oranges; that our raisins have
a value OF nearly $l,000,000 more than
oranges, and our canned goods over half
a million more than oranges; that our
wines and brandy have value to the pro-
Queer of over one and quarter million
dollars more than oranges. Also, that
the exports of deciduous fruits, and nIlts.
and wines exceed exports of oranges by
Sl7, 100000.
1t will also be noted that the value of
the dried fruit shipped from the south is
about double the value of her oranges:
that the raisins of the south equal half
the value of the oranges, and that the
orange crop of the south is only about
one-fourth in value of her whole fruit
crop.
1t is a significant fact, that whileour
wheat output has not materially increased
from 1880 to 1890, our fruit output has in
creased more than thirty times, and is
growing with great rapidity.
While the showing here made still keeps
California in the front rank of wheat
growing States, it demonstrates the great
advantages of the State as fruit-produc-
ing country.
In 1880, our exports of fruit brought Us,
probably, at the rate / now figure the farm
value of fruit, about 100000, while they
now amount TO about 10000, 600. This
wonderful result has brought with it what
is above all computation, to-wit, the DEM
| onstration that fruit-growing in this State
is very profitable, and is almost absolutely
| safe from frOsts and other drawbacks.
Ten years have taught us, also, that we
may resort TO lands for fruit-growing.

our primacy as a wheat and barley and

When landowners south of the city
allege that it is the sewage of Sacramento
that is responsible for the flooding of
their low lands, they are only half right.
The sewage is responsible for much of
the water that settles in the low basins,
but the river sipage furnishes great deal
Of it.
a RECORD UNION reporter has seen a
stream Of water eight inches in diameter
bursting from the ground four hundred
yards from the river, near Oak Hall. and
flowing like an artesian well.
1t will be found that, even without the

deal to be handled by pumps, in order to
relieve the lower lands, but it can be

1t appears that the eastern portion of
this county and the western portion of
El Dorado are not the only localities that
are suffering infiction from swarms of
pestiferous and voracious locusts. The
pests are reported as being too numerous
to mention in the southern portion of
Nevada County, and referring thereto
the Grass Valley TIdi11gs says:
1--WE are informed by farmer Nettle-
ship that myriads of small grasshoppers
have made theiT appearance in Limekiln
district, throughout the lower portion of
Rough and Ready township, and down
over the plains. The grasshOppers, while
small, are doing considerable damage
which increases in extent daily as they
attain size. They are so numerous that
pedestrians must need crush them under
foot. Last year Nettleship and many
others lost the first buds Of their grape
vines before the pests moved on, and
grass and all green leaves within reach
/ also went to satisfy the vOracious appe-
tites Of the unwelcOmc visitors.
For the present, Mr.. Nettleship is pro-
teCting his grapevines in measure by
the use of strong sulphur, and contem-
plates making the best of the situation by
tattening turkeys, if be can obtain the
birds. Turkeys love grasshoppers, and
have an unlimited capacity Tor them.
bearing which fact in mind Mr.. Nettle-
ship has sent to Marysville for 900 of
them. He fears, however, that it will be
difficult to obtain the birds, as the grass
