Tilltnagc and vIlllinagc in California.

There is iixcd determination among a class
Of people in California to introduce slavery into
that state and il they cannot accomplish their
end in one way thcy will in anothcr First
they proposed to divide the state, and allow sli-
very in the southern division, but that required
too much, and was to- doubtful Of success
then they proposed a fugitive slave law, which
declared all who were slaves before they were
brought into the state, anterior to the formation
Of the constitution, should be declared slaves
still, and provided ample facilities for reducing

has A.t u.ou another device. Ills now proposed
to enforce contracts, made without the state, for

10 this end bills have been introduced into both

A freedom for the robbery Of the mOils-ihc

mhnisis are eloquent in the praise of nee

of freedom they desire. After all the press

direction with that paper aud its emperor,
are silenced, this organ of the Jesuits says
"Ilat it feels itself hundred times more

New PROCESS OF MAKING BUTTER
Mr.. James Stubs, of Cuttyhunk Island
informs us of new and simple process
of making butter from the cream, which
promises to supersede the labor of the
churn, at least during the warm season.
At his dairy recently, quantity OF
cream that had obstinately refused to
become butter under any reasonable OF
even unreasonable amount of "agita.
ton" in the usual mode, was at length
cmptied into clean sa t-sag of coarse
linen and deposited in the ground at a
depth of about twelve inches below the
surface, to cool. On the following
morning it was found that the butter
milk had entirely separated and disap-
peared, and the butter remained in the
bag perfectly nice and sweet. He has
since frequently manufactured butter by
this simple method, with invariable sue
cess, in from six to twelve hours. As
an effectual preventative of any earthly
taste becoming impaired to the butter
Mr.. Stubs suggests that the bag con
tanning the cream be placed in anothe
bag, or cloth, of the same mater rll
The value Of the discovery may be easil
tested.

GYPSUM, OR SULPuATE OF LINE
This substance is known as Plaster oi
Paris, because it abounds in the vicinity
of that city. For ages, it has been used
as fertilizer, and yet contains no fer
tility within itself, but it serves to fix the
ammonia Of the atmospLercs, and all de-
caying substances. No stable should b.

piled to all manurcd lands, except, per.
