WOMEN WANTED IN CALIFORNIA Farm
ham, (who went out in the Angcliquc, in COM
| pany with five females,) has written a letter,
which is published in the n. Y. Evening Post.
| She says that Women arc more in rcquisition
than gold or any thing else. Those who came
out with me had Immediately offers of employ
ment at S75 and 800 per month. II there had
been five hundred instead of five, they could all
| have engaged Immediately on similar terms.
! They must 6c got here in considerable numbers
before society can take any shape or assume any
character hope that whilo our good brethren
/ at home arc bcstiring themselves kindly TO
send out churches and clcrgymen. they will not
forget that the best OF all missionaries to such
| population arc rcsolute, virtuous, intelligent
women" She also says that females need have
no fear of being rudcly treated. Ii 1000 fc-
males had sailed last May, they would all be
now prohtably employed.
Wild WoNAN.-Thc icih teo,nan has been
recently seen again on the banks of the Navidad,
in Texas. Mr. Glascock pursued her with dogs,
and threw lasso upon her shoulders, which
she cluded and escaped into a thickct. The
creature is about five feet high, and covered with
reddish brown hair, which is very long upon the
head and neck. 1t ran with the speed of a deer,
and coming to u creek, dropped u stick six feet
long and polished like glass Several settlers
who have seen the stranger concur in believing
her to be human being. Twelve years ago
footmarks of three were seen together, but with
in the last year only the tootmarks of ono have
been visible. 1t is thought some children were
lost or sccrctcd in the woods, and have grown
up Wild living upon berries and such things as
they could steal from settlers.
LASD RRFoRN.-Thc great question Of Land
Reform" is daily gaining strength in Congress,
with every prospect that provision will be made
for donations OF the public land to all actual
bona fie settlers who arc without homestead
OF any kind. The spectators in land warrants,
and tlrs holders of large bodies of ,unimprovcd
lands in the West, are of course throwing all
the obstacles in the way Of the passage of so
humane bill that their ingenuity quickencd
by their sclf-intorcst, can invent. But they arc
understood, and their Vaccinations will be trus-
trated by those who have the Land Reform "
honestly and sincerely at heart.
A SINGULAR CAsR.-A somewhat singular
case has Just been tried before the Circuit Court
Of Orange Co. 1t appears that sometime ago
the wife of Mr.. Ebenczer Scely got divorce
from her husband, and subsequently married a
lawyer named Crosby. The first husband sue
cccdcd in setting aside the divorce, on the
ground of informality, or want of jurisdiction
in the power that granted it, and then sued the
second husband for improper intercourse with
damages in favor OF the plaintiff.
CALIFORNIA LIrR.-A resident in San Fran
CISCO saws the Boston Atlas, writes, that n
young gentleman in gold specs-a recent grad
uate OF Yale Collcgc--has commenced the
wood saving business, and is doing well. A
Philadelphia lawyer is peddling pea nuts at a
handsome profit through the streets of San
Francisco. A young gentleman from this city,
after trying hard for clcrkship, commenced
digging cellars at San Francisco, and thereby
accumulated sufficient 10 start himself in less
laborious profession.
