stage ntoutes 1andone. Placer and I Doroounatis, while remarkable for the picturesque ruins of mining camps innumerable, have also the loss enviable distinotion of containing two of the worst thief-In fested stage roads in California. These two roads each start from Auburn, the firet running twelve miles to Gron wood,. in. .l Dorado county, and then four miles further on to Georgetown; the second keeping in Placer county and calling at Todd's Valley (twenty miles), Forest Hill (twenty-thiee miles), Michigan Bluffs4, (thirty miles.) Since 1862 Wells, Fargo 4 Co., have kept offices at these various towns sud donethe bulk of the express buslik4ssthere. The attacks upon the O stag loavhes and the plundering of the'treasure boxes-have always been a legetig0 the road, but during the-past torffeaks, theme interruptions to sate trateiltig have become so frequent that linally, and in desperation, Wells, Fargo 4 Co., have closed their offices at all'the places mentioned excepting of course,Auburn. What the losses oi the company have amounted to during this time may be Judged of by the re port of the last six months. On Au gust 7 th~e coach on the Forest Hill road was stopped and $1,030 taken. On the 22d of September the highwaymen lalled in their calculations, for al though the treasure was thrown down, the muaskers had their trouble for their pains, the box being empty. On No. vember 1st the coach on the George !, town road was stopped and $000 at) stracted, and recently the same coach yielded $300. A little "accident" hap pened om the Georgetown roaa also on May 14th, wyhich had its unlooked for results. A passenger was robbed of a watch, and last November it was re ricovered rom Sharp, one of the most daring of the gang, on his arrest at Aurora for making too free with the Bodie stage. Summing up these lIosses it will be seen that bullion to the value of $1,930 ivent Into high waymen's pock ets; of the added expense attending the e1mploytnent of detectives, at least, $3,000 have came out of the pockets of the company. That thia amount is far in excess of the profits goes without saying. Wells, Fargo & Co., ret taking a Step which cannot but sorious ly alleet the business interests of all those towns, but it is in justice to them selves that the step is taken, an really as being the only means of self-protec tion. By every means in their power they have endeavored to put down rob. bery ; detectives bave lived on the road, 4and that they have lieen successful in their tilurtA is largely due to the apathy of thosE0 who should have been most active in the suppreselon of a kdis grace, for it is to the listlessness of the 1,inhabitants of those very townis that the III success met with by the con Ipany's flcers Is by t hem largely as cribed.

As soon as Pill's throat was free again, 11' ~'I she opened another tirade on T1omi.

T11 LARGEST siLO IN Tis COUNTRY, -The well knovn Now York da'ry. men Messrs. Whitman and Burrel, Little Fails, have expressed their faith In tie revived doctrine of ensilage by building and filling the largest silo in the country. It measures fifty-six feet In length and Is sixteen feet wide, with an inside depth of twenty-two feet. The soil was taken out for three feet below the bottom of the alto, and this space filled In with cobblestones, U pon these walls. three feet thick were laid and pointed both outside and in side. The bottom of the silo wt s paved with stone on top of the cobble and the whole interior grouted with Portland cement. A brick partition twenty inches thick, and grouted with cement divides the interior crosswise into two compartments. These compartments were Ailed -with corn fodder cut when the ears were still in milk. A cutting-machine run by steam power was kept busy seven days cut ting the todder, while three men dis tributed and tramped it down in the silo. About two hundred tons of fod der were packed In each compartment. It has been estimated that the fod der cost, after the work was done, about eighty cents per ton. The covering of the silo consists of boards sixteen feet long, tongued and grooved together in smetions three and one half feet wide, laid across them to bind the sections and these were covered with other planks together. On top of these there are fi1ty tons of Stone in each silo, The construction of the silo cost $1,500. The result of this expensive expert ment will be awaited with interest by a large class of farmers who -are still doubtfitl of the eflicacy and )raetti)llity of the ensilage system; also by others who contemplate giving it a trial In a small way.
