Iiimiiiisceiicu of Wliatcom.
The British OcUnmt relates the following "Reminiscence of Whatcom," tin important point on
the Norihern Coast, during the Frazer river ex-
citemeutiof 1858:
One day last summer, whilst traveling on the
Sound, we had for a companion an old fellow who
in the summer o(V58 had invested largely in lots
at t.Vlialcoin aud Sehome, when those bid fair to
rival Victoria in commercial importance. He had
lost, of course, and while he would bitterly lament bis luck and lament in round terms his stupidity, many a good story be could tell of the
tricks of speculators to sell iheir hits, Among
others, be 'lets off' the following which he asserted was true :—
For some weeks after Whatcom had been started, there was only one mule in the place. The
trail had been commenced, and people had just
began to flock there. To keep up appearances, and
to induce strangers to settle or buy their outfits in
the town, the speculators devised a plan whereby
tbey imagined their most sanguine hopes might be
realized. Every moruing, before daylight, Ihe one
solitary mule, belbrcmetitioned, was led off by a
circuitous route, and brought around to wilhin a
few miles of town, and about .dusk would be driven back on the trail into the city by some rough
sjiteiinen of bumanily, who would declare to the
crowd that he had just come through from Thompson's River ; the trail was the best in tbe world ;
been only four days making the trip; plenly oi
wood and water, &c, &c. As lhe same man never
led in the animal iwice, and as the poor mule suffered a change iu appearance every day, no suspicion was engendered in the minds of lhe people.
This plan was k^pt up for several days, speculators iu town lots waxed exceedingly rich, and
Whatcom bid fair to eclipse all its competitors.
But nlas! for all human expectations aud the
iiopes of doomed Whatcom. One fine morning Lhe
owner of the mule went to the stable for the purpose of leading him forth to go through the same
course of deception, when, to bis infinite horror,
he fonndhis animal was dead !
Cursing his ill luck, back he rushed to thehoiel,
and hurrying to the bar-room, (where lay a large
number of miners who purposed following the
trail to Thompson River that day,) bawled out.
" Whalcoui's gone in !"
" What in heaven's name's the matter!" shouted
the landlord, springing from his blankets.
"Matter? matter enough!" replied lhe disconsolate owner, almost crying, ;'the mule's dead/''.
" And sure enough," concluded the old man wiping his eyes, '-Whatcom did go in—and if it
hadn't been for (hat nasty, pe--ky little anamile
up and dyin' so soon. I'd had my pile sure 1"

moved an amendment that tbe letter C be stricken

considerable merriment at the expense of the

arose to reply, and said :—-'Mr. Speaker, this is

I-ltc. of A">c Lincoln.
The following is the brief recital ot the career
of Mr. Lincoln, from one of the .speeches made hy
Judga-Dottglae during the canvass in Illinois in
l-SoS:
I have known Mr. Lincoln for nearly twenty-five
years. We had many points of sympathy when I
first got. acquainted with him. We were both comparatively boys; both struggling with poverty in
a strange town for support--1 an humble school
teacher in the town of Winchester, and be a flourishing grocery keeper in the town of Salem. He
more successful in occupation than 1, and
hence became more fortunate in this world's goods.
I made as good a school teacher as 1 could, and
when a cabinet-maker, I made the beat bedsteads
and tables, but my old boss told me I succeeded
better in bureaus and secretaries than anything
else. But. I believe that .Mr. Lincoln was more
successful in his business than I, for his business
soon carried him into the Legislature. 'There I
met him in a little time, and f had a sympathy lor
him because oi the up-hill struggle wo had in life.
He was then good at telling an anecdote as now.
He could beat any of the boys at wrestliug. could
outrun ihcm at a footrace, beat them at pilch
quoits and tossing a copper, and could win more
liquor than all the boys put together, aud the dignity and impartiality with which he presided at a
horse race or a list tight were the praise of everybody that was present aud participated. Hence I
had a sympathy for him, because he was struggling with misfortune, and so was I. Mr. Lincoln
served with me, or I with him, in the Legislature
of 1 83*3, when we parted. He subsided or submerged for some years, and I lost sight of him. In
1840, when Mr. Wilmot Proviso tornado, Mr. Liu-
cola again turned up as a member of Congress
trom Sangamon district. I, being in the Senate of
the Uuited States, was called to welcome him
then without friend and companion. Ife then distinguished himself by his opposition to the Mexican war, against his own country. Wh::n here-
turned home from that Congress he found that the
indignation of the people followed him every
where, until he again retired Lo private life, and
was -submerged until he was again forgotten by
his friends. He came up again in 1854, in time to
make the Abolition Black Republican platform,
in company with Lovejoy, Giddinga, Chase and
Fred. Douglas, for the .Republican party to stand
upon.
Wool RaiBUlg lm Ciiliforiila-
A great deal of attention is being given to the
subject of wool raising in this Stale. The climate seems io possess a, peculiar adaptation tor
sbeep. They are healthy. and multiply rapidly
with very [ftiifl care. They can subsist on pasture where cattle would starve, and for the
amount of money invested, bring in a greater re-
iurn. than any oihcrkind of stock.
These lacts being admitted, no farmer who possesses the ability, should neglect to purchase a
flock of sheep, however small it may be at tbe be
ginning, and improve the breed by crossing the
blood wilh some of lho--e tine specimens of bucks
which have lately been imported into Calilornia
The fleece of a ihoroughbred Merino sheep will
average ul least, twelve pounds, and command forty-five cenls per pound in the home market.. In
New York ii is quoted at i>2 and ;"i5 cenls.
A full blooded Merino buck can he pm*:based for
about four hundred dollars ; lhe ewes ior two hundred dollars each. Of.e thousand dollars, then,
as an original investment, would more than double ilsell in two years. Suppose we make the subject a matter ol calculation.
The three ewes will have * n increase of at least
three lambs lhe first year. (Often there are two
lambs at a birth, and not unlrcqiienlly two births
iu a year.) The ircrcase of these three lambs, the
second year, will be three more lambs. Add to
this the increase of three lambs from the mothers
ol the flock, and we have, in alanine of an off
spring. Supposing these nine lambs worth two
hundred dollars each, (ttie bucks would command
more.) that is $1,800. Now thirteen fleeces, twelve
pounds to the fluece, would be lj(' pounds. One
hundred and fifty-sis pounds, ai 4oc. to the pound,
$70.20. Total value ol offspring, and fleeces of
entire flock. $1,800 20. Add value of Original
purchase, oue buck and three ewes, $1,000. Grand
total, $2,870 20. The fleece alone of a hundred
such sheep, would amount lo $540, less the shearing,
These estimates, we think, are low. There is
not much fear of thoroughbred sheep depreciating
iu value for several years to come.
Mr. Jewett, who has lately imported a splendid
lot of French Merinos, contends that the fleece of
a fiid grown buck will weigh between twenty and
thirty pounds, aud a ewe belweeu fifteen and twenty. Calculating, at this rale, tbe profits arising
Irom sheep raisiug would be much larger than we
have estimated. Our figures do uot pretend lo be
anything more than proximate.
If we are at all correct, l.uw enormous must be
theg aius to a fanner at the end of the fifih year.
It would require a sum in geometry to work out
lhe solution.
But even the raising rff common sheep is found
tobe profitable. A Mexican boy, wild a good
shepiieid dog, is capable of at lending to a flock of
one or two thousand. The expense of keepiag
*£™J&'-C8&r4- r^QW^ll}^. uThe;r,Ty.w>l \:
25 and 32" cents per pound ; common, unwashed.
12 and 16'; cents.
These remarks arc sufficient to direct the attention of the farmer lo au investigation of the subject. Some localities are of course better suited
lor sheep ranges thau otheia. Those who go into
ihe business will be forced to govern their actions
by this consideration.
There is little doubt that sheep raising—that is,
the raising of common sheep—like most other enterprises, has been greatly overdone, as a means of
accumulating sudden for.tines. But ibe fast days
of California have gone by. Farmers will uow
have to content themselves wtth pursuing the ordinary roads to weal h. They nn^t plod ; and as
the journey is sometimes a long one, we can conceive of no better staff lo support them on its de
vions and difficult windings, than in the manner
in which we bave suggested.—Warysville Appeal.

The regulars are still al. Pyramid, where they

No Indians venture In sight, but their tracks are

Jcne 14th—Winnemucker, the Pah-IJte General
has proved himself too smart for us again, for
when the troops reached Pyramid Luke tbey had
abfquatoiated, taking with htm his baggage and
women and children. No oue knows whither lie
has gone, bat the common belie! is that he-will
divide his army into small squads and attack the
overland immigration whenever an opportunity
offers. .Major Dodge, who had started toward Pyramid Lake,in order, if possible, to treat with the
Indians, upon learning of their departure, and the
return of the volunteers, came back lo Genoa, aud
after recruiting a day or two, started for Mono
Lake, iu order to keep the Indians quiet in that
section. There is no truth in the rumors of Indian
murders at Mono. A few men were killed for mo'
ney, by whites, and hence the rumor. As for the
volunteers, they propose to go out and watch for
the savages on the immigrant road.

On that d:iy, the cornerstone of the magnificent
Masonic Temple, now In process of construction,
will be laid with all the appropriate ceremonies
of the Order. Invitations have beeu sent far and
wide to the Free aud Accepted Masons of California, and, we believe, of Oregon, lo be present and
assist on the occasion. Very many of these invitations have been accepted, and we stall doubtless
witness tbe finest pageant of the kind ever seen
upon the Pacific coa^t of America, The new building is rapidly going up, giving employment to
200 meu. and when lhe foundation shall have been
compleied, will employ many more. When finished
it will be, beyond comparison, the most substantial
edifice in the State of California, and one of the'
principal ornaments of this city.—Herald.
Bogus Baffles and Puiziss.—We referred yea-
terday, says ihe Alta, to the humbug operations
of tbe Smith & Mitchell raffle. Many and ramp
ant are the swindled, and loudly do they demand
redress; but how they are to get it. we are unable
just now to comprehend. During the day a number of epeoimens of ihe so called prizes have been
left at our office, and others have been exhibited
bere and taken away. One man paid his dollar
for a ticket, and drew what, purported to be a $20
prize. It was forwarded to him from Sacramento
bv express, at a cost of $2, and proved to be a
pinchbeck breast-pin, worth about $1 50. Another
waa an imitation bronze clock, sans hands, and
with a wonderful scarcity of iu'ards. It was old.
rusty, broken into two pieces, and not worth $5
at the utmost; yet this was set down as a $150
prize. Oue mau drew a $350 watch, which turned
out to he worth $100, He might consider himself
lucky to bave escaped as he did. It is needless to
enumerate tbe many swindles which have been
brought to our notice. They serve as a warning
to silly people, who will sink their money in raffles, and should prove an effectual stopper upon all
such gambling operations for the future.
