THE THIRTY-FIFTH PARALLEL.
San Francisco has been badly hurt by the Central Pacific Railroad. It took away a great portion of her interior trade and sent it to Chicago. It changed her shipping to Oakland and Vallejo. And now it threatens to get possession of Goat Island and found thereon an entirely new city that shall sap the last remaining vitality from the present metropolis across the bay. How keenly and bitterly she fell the great power of her enemy may be gathered from the following remarks in the Alta:
Again we have suggested the forming of a Committee of Safety, but this time not against the suffian element of society, but against a huge "devil fish" which seeks with its arms to grasp and drag into its fatal embrace, every shipping site, town, island and even the Queen City of the Pacific; holding them as in a vise, for the sole aggrandizement of the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
The great city seeks a deliverance in the construction of a rival road—the Thirty-fifth Parallel. In a leader entitled "The Salvation of San Francisco" the Alta says:
This city has only one chance to save itself from being ruled, governed, beaten and ruined by the unutterably selfish, short sighted and suicidal policy of the managers of the Central Pacific Company.
almost as good a crop as usual, about four weeks later. So think there is still a chance to crop this year, even from vines that have suffered most.
The last serious frost that occurred here was in 1865, and was more severe than that of this week.
The News rays: The night was exceedingly cold one even although we have not heard of frost having formed." At Los Angeles and at Westminster it prevails as far as we can learn to about the same extent as here.
AN APPROPRIATE PRAYER
It is somewhere recorded in Chronicles of California that preacher who had long officiated Chaplain of the State Prison, was one session of our Legislature gave the job of praying for the promise Solons "in Senate and Assembly convened." Now the woo brother had so long lifted up his voice and wrestled in spirit for Godless denizens of San Quezada that the form of supplication freed for that latitude had been stereotyped as it were upon his mind. So when he rose to his feet in Capitol building and earnestly sought Providence to endow representatives of the people the wise and honorable qualities which are poetically ascribed Legislators, he tell unconscious into the old set form of speech he had used at the Penitentiary and concluded his prayer thus:
"And may it please Theo, Heavenly Father! that when these misguided men shall have paid
The great city seeks a deliverance in the construction of a rival road—the Thirty-fifth Parallel. In a leader entitled "The Salvation of San Francisco" the Alta says:
This city has only one chance to save itself from being ruled, governed, beaten and ruined by the unutterably selfish, short sighted and suicidal policy of the managers of the Central Pacific Company.
Join hands with the Thirty-fifth Parallel Company—with St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri Tennessee, Kentucky, and in fact with all the States south of the line of Omaha and Chicago, south of the line of the deep snow, and this coast can bid defiance to the Central Pacific Company, which threatens to depreciate the value of every foot of real property, every dollar invested in homesteads (whether free or mortgaged), and tends to destroy the earnings of every mechanic, drayman, longshoreman, laborer and business man in this city and State.
This road starts from St. Louis (already built 335 miles) still extending toward us and will terminate in San Francisco. It is the only Transcontinental road with a chart and a land subsidy which can come into this city. All other overland roads are cut off or bought up or must stop at a distant point up or down the coast.
St Louis can never combine with Chicago—cut out as she has been by that city, in the great overland traffic. She looks to us as her natural ally. There has never been any but friendly rivalry between us,and by joining the two cities together by the Thirty-fifth Parallel road, there never will be. The first overland stage route was between this city and St Louis, via Los Angeles, El Paso and Fort Smith, Arkansas. There was never a day's delay during the years that it ran, from snow—in fact, there is no snow on the whole route, save a light fall in the State of Missouri.
If there is any moral for us in the above it is that we are likely to profit, though remotely, by the efforts of San Francisco to get a road of her own. She will build the 35th-parallel road, and although that might not come within a hundred miles of us, yet even at that distance the existence of a great transcontinental thoroughfare would shed some capital building and earnestly sought Providence to endow representatives of the people of the wise and honorable quality which are poetically ascribed Legislators, he tell unconscious into the old set form of speech where he had used at the Penitentiary and concluded his prayer thus:
"And may it please Thee, Heavenly Father! that when these misguided men shall have paid penalty of the offended laws, completed the term for which they may return again with chanced and purer hearts to theirpective homes, and become more virtuous, honest, and members of society."
LITERARY NOTICES
We have received the first edition of the California Republican, and Republican daily evening paper just started in San Francisco. "The Republican Publishing Price $500 per year; 12½ cents week." Favors the re-election Grant and the adoption of good back currency on this coast. Number before us is an interesting paper, and makes a welcome tion to our exchange list.
That splendid agricultural pecial, the American Agriculturist at hand for April. It contains beautiful picture of "The break-up of the Ice," many other pictures of fowls and other objects, be40 pages of interesting matter. It is furnished at the price of $150 per year by Or Judd & Co., 245 Broadway, York.
The Marysville Weekly Aof the 6th inst., enters upon twelfth volume. A strong healthy looking paper is the Ap vigorously edited (for Frank C is a worker). and it seems to be paper of California, north of Samento. We always get good things in its columns, and shall ever re-in its success.

If there is any moral for us in the above it is that we are likely to profit, though remotely, by the efforts of San Francisco to get a road of her own. She will build the 35th-parallel road, and although that might not come within a hundred miles of us, yet even at that distance the existence of a great transcontinental thoroughfare would shed some light and warmth and hope of progress upon the counties of Southern California. Let it come, and we shall rejoice in the occasion that called it forth.
THE FROST.
Quite a serious misfortune has befallen us this week, in the shape of a heavy frost, which appeared Wednesday night. The weather turned so cold that ice is reported to have formed. The next morning some of the vineyards were found to be badly "nipped," while others are apparently unharmed. Those vines which were farthest advanced in the spring growth have suffered most. Whether or the frosted vines will recover and still bear fruit this season is an open question. John W. Clark, Esq., in forms us that he has known vines to be badly frosted in Napa Valley as late as the 20th of April, when they were at least as far advanced as they are now here. The frost was so bad that the new growth was entirely killed down, yet the vines seemed to recover entirely from the shock, sent out new branches, leaves and buds, and produced in the fall twelfth volume. A strong healthy looking paper is the Apologetic vigorously edited (for Frank C. is a worker), and it seems to be paper of California, north of Santo Domingo. We always get good things in its columns, and shall ever re-in its success.
Heald College Journal, the office of Healds Business College, Francisco, appears in a new dailly. It is a neatly gotten up paper filled with interesting selected ter, a fact which perhaps accords for its wearing new clothes for the success of the institute which it represents.
AN EXPENSIVE BRIDGE.—It is said to be a small bridge, consisting of only three planks. Between Old and New San Diego, which that county $80,000. At least county was found to be that in debt and the little three-bridge was the only public work for the money. We recommend our San Diego faction to take up that bridge and provide it in spirits, for it is rather extinct to use it every day, if it can much.
POISONING.—The News gives account of the poisoning of the Thurman last Sunday, near Elk te. He was compelled by Phillips to drink some liquor posed to have contained arsenic was soon taken with cones. Was alive at last accused Phillips was arrested.
