California Products.

Mr.. CROCKETT, in one of his excellent
letters from California, says
"There has lately been an agricultural
fair at Sacramento which l was very desi-
rous of attending, but which business pre-
vented me from doing. The collection of
vegetables, fruits and flowers were such as
only California can produce. The variety
was of course not so great as in older com
munities, but in point of size, the vegetable
wonders were truly surprising, l under
stand. An address was delivered on the
occasion by DR.. Morse, from which the
following is an extract, and which will serve
to convey an idea of the almost incredible
fertility of the SOIL and of the enormous
profits of farming operations in this State
The results stated below are so far beyond
anything ever before realized in any por-
ton of the world from agricultural pursuit.
that it will be difficult for any one out Of
California to credit them. The following
extract from Mr.. Morse's address / cir
from the San Francisco Times and Trans.
cript:
We would like to direct your attention L
the magnificent results of agriculture under
the bold and energetic patronage of oul
worthy Mayor, General Hutchinson. Late
in the season he commenced the cultivatio,
of 800 acres of land on Putah Creek
From this area, he raised an average o
53 bushels of barley 10 the acre, the average
weight TO the bushel being so pounds
Total yield in bushels, AZ 400; total yield il
weight, 2,2S9,500. The value of this i'm
mense crop at four cents per pound, woult
amount TO an aggregate of $9l ,5S4.
Next allow me to call your attention t
the agricultural efforts of j. M. Horner
Esq, of San Jose valley. Mr.. Horner, OIL
205 acres, raised 10000 bushels of barley
an average of 80 bushels to the acre. From
300 acres he harvested an average of Al
bushels per acre. From the 800 acres h.
received an aggregate of 2S,500 bushels
one and half million pounds; or in valu
about $780, 900 at present prices.
Mr. Horner also cultivated $50 acres de
voted to potatoes, yielding an average O
800 bushels per acre, and an aggregate O
$500 bushels, or at present price, $4 pc
bushel, yielding revenue of 1924, 900. Il
addition, large crops of wheat and oats, sta
tistics not vet received.
Mr.. l.. l.. Beard, also of San Jose Val
ley, another very limited cultivator of tn
soil, appropriated $40 acres of land to bar

The Presidents Message will not be looked
for with the usual interest, as new Ad,
minstration comes in on the 4th of March

measure will be pressed upon Congress-
A large number of members of Congress
also 90 out on the Sd of March, and upon
the whole, the approaching session promises
to be dull one. The Cuba question may
afford some excitement. The nybuster'
have nothing to expect from President Fill

CHEAP LIVE FENCES!

Usage ORANGE, or BoIs D'ARc HEDGES, are
~ no longer an experiment. They have been
fully tested, and have proved to be just what far
mers require.
They combine the three great requisites Of
cHEAPNEss, EFFICIENCY and DURABILITY, besides
being handsome and ornamental.
The single and only objection that can with rea-
son be urged against the Usage Orange hedge, is,
the time required for its growth-this takes three
summers, or two and half years, from the setting;
but you then have fence that is proof against
oxen, mules, pigs, or even rabbits; living fence
that neither winds nor floods scarcely even time
itself can destroy.
Thankful for former patronage, the undersigned
is now ready TO take contracts for furnishing the
best quality Of Bots D'Arc plants for hedging by
the mile; delivering the plants at each purchasers
door. in this or the adjacent countless and re-fur-
nishing all that die out, at $40 per mile, cash on
delivery of plants and conditional note for $40
more, at the end of p years, at which time good
hedge is guaranteed.
Or, if preferred, he win sell the plants at 81
per thousand, well packed, trimmed and assorted,
| delivered at either Glasgow or Fayette; and So
per thousand, delivered at the purchasers door
in this or any Of the adjoining countless in quanti-
ties of 1900 or over; terms, cash on delivery.
a copy of plain and explicit printed directions,
for setting and trimming the Hedge, will be given
to each purchaser The undersigned has also u
quantity of choice Usage Orange seed, which he
will sell TO those who wish 10 raise their own
plants-price 81 per quart, 81 per peck, or S25
per bushel Those who desire hedges, however,
will find it to their interest to get the plants from
Nursery, as by SO doing they will save some risk,
and good deal of trouble, besides getting the
hedge ayear sooner, and in the end, they will find
il about as cheap.
Pieces of Hedge, from plants of my raising, may
be seen at many places in this and adjacent coun-
ties 1t makes neat and ornamental fence, for the
early Spring.

St. Louis Correspondence,
ST. LOUIS, November 81, 1852.


Since the election, our city has been in
quiet, calm, and seemingly immoveable state,
with the exception Of little railroad
fever during the past week, and something
Of a Poor Ball" excitement during the pre-
sent. A grand ball for the benefit of the
poor came off at the "Varieties Theatre"
on the evening Of the 25th. 1t is estima-
ted that over two thousand persons were
present, and the receipts of the Ball are be-
tween three or four thousand dollars. 1t
NAV be considered fixed fact in all time to
come, that there is TO be an annual Ball in
St. Louis for the benefit of the poor. This
is one way, and a most excellent one it is,
of procuring money from certain class of
our citizens who never have anything TO
spare in the way of contribution 10 the poor,
but who spend their hundreds every win
ter in idle dissipation. The money thus
obtained, and that procured by subscription
and otherwise, is placed in the hands OF
judicious committees appointed in the sew
eral wards, and these committees make it
their business 10 visit weekly, or oGtener,
the homes of the widow and orphan, and
the houses of the destitute wherever found,
and order for them the necessaries of life,
and in many instances from their own gen.
erous pockets, they afford them, what TO the
poor, are Injuries. 1t is thus that the lives
of our fellow creatures are saved every
winter. The citizens of ST. Louis are
sometimes called mercenary, money-thirs-
ty set of people; but think ! am safe in
saying that more generous and liberal peo-
pie, in periods Of true distress, cannot be
found in any city of the Union.
While the business of the city, is about
ITO be suspended for the winter, the amuse-
ments are Just commencing, and very gay
time is anticipated by the beauty and fashion
of the place. Mrs. Sinclair, alias Mrs
Forrest, commences an engagement at Bates
Theatre on Monday evening, and is to be
supported by that elegant and accomplished
English commedian and tragedian, Mr.
Vanderbilt The "People's THEATRE /;
new theatre, on Olive street, near Fourth
almost completed, is 10 open in ten days oil
two weeks, with the celebrated and notori.
r Gus American actor, Mr.. Forrest, or al
, least so it is rumored. 1t is possible thai

wife to overshadow her, and snatch from he

night. In the morning his slaves were Ia

to be free, and they were set at liberty
thus robbing Mr.. Lennon of $4,000 worth
of property--his all! This proceeding is
