Summer 03. Upahf
there'hasbeen a great falling off in the county to*
the west and south of San Juan Mission, but next
year, which there is little doubt will- be a plentiful
one for water, the farmers on the Salinas plains-
will show the people of California what good soil
in a good season with only ordinary farming witf
do. The ancient people here say that they fee}1 in?
their old bones the signs of the dangerous quantities of water corning down in California during
the winter of 1856-57. One pious ol'dlady talking
to us a few days ago, said: "Do you know Don>
Tinto, that I feel scared at what the rains and*
floods will do this winter. When I was a girl, I
remember in Monterey the rain falling in such-
quantities as to make the greatest damage to, the
country, and caused great difhger and distress to*
the Missions and people. I sometimes dream about
it so much, that it wakes me from my sleep."—•
■' Well, Dona Amiga, don't alarm yourself," we replied, " the Americanos will help you out this
year ; water can't drown them, nor can fire burn
them, and as you will be a passenger La their boat
you won't get drowned out." f.
From Punch.—The law ruins men and the fashions women.
There is a fitness in all things, except cheap ■
clothes.
It's a bad plan not to grumble—the wheel insn't
oiled till it creaks.
Tbe man who intends getting around his wife
will have to start very early in the morning.
Prosperity shines on different persons much in*
the same way that the sun shines, on different objects.   Some it hardens like mud. others it softens
like wax.
A miser is but a human version of the turnspit
dog that toiled every day to roast meat for other
person's eating.
Hail a cab in bad weather, and it may come immediately to yojor.assistance, but hail a friend in
vour adversity, and see what notice be will take of
yon.
Life is a romanee of which most young ladies-
would like to begin reading tbe third volume first
—us it is generally the one that contains the mar--

The Sacramento Schools.—There are 526 pu--
pils and 12 teachers attached to the public schools1
of Sacramento.
The expenses of the San EraiiciVco lirnneti'Sfin*
are put down at 8277,300, on- the appropria«i»t»
