Leaviog San Francisco a 9 p. m., we arrived at Fresno, after a good night's rest in the sleeper, at nest morning, and are cordially received by Mr. Straube, who is in waitiDg to extend ns a hearty greeting. A well-prepared breakfast is done ample justice to, and at sis o'clock we are away, behind a spanking team, to the farm, which is situated about seventeen miles southeast from Fresno. It is many years since the writer last visited that section of the San Joaquin Valley, and the great improve- ment visible everywhere can be attributed to no ocher reason than irrigation.
