A summer land lay fair.

And gazed DER oceans breast,
While down across the crimson bars

Beside sweet tender flowers unknown,
Whose fragrance filled the air,
And dreamed that paradise had been

The low, soft zephyrs murmuring kiss'd
Each tail and stately palm,
And poured upon my hayward days
A sweet, seductive balm.

don't want to build on a wrong

shock the stomach with harsh

who read this article will be imbued with

To make the pleasure complete, take
the steamer Tod Goodwin and make the

Parties Catching Them by the Sackful

been crowded with craft the past few
evenings, and shad are being caught in
large quantities.
On Thursday evening, George Eckart,
@. Bilhartz and E. Knorsa came home
with ninety fine ones which they dis
tributed among friends. The custom of
fish dinner for Friday was very generally
observed.
The Marysville Democrat, referring to
the seining of the shad, says: 1.-THE muir
der of helpless shad in Feather River, as
practiced by several persons, is a plain
violation of the law, and ought not to be
tolerated. The fish are spawning, and in
condition that they are not fit to eat,
and it is wrong to kill them, even if not
contrary to law"
