A DEPLoRABLE FAcT.-It is lement-
able fact that at the present time there
are no less than six women confined in
the station house upon different infa-
nous charges Most Of them have fire.
quently taken their quarters in that
delectable and comfortable place, whilst
one or two have in fact lived nowhere
else. Two years ago woman in limbo
would have been an unheard Of occur
renee, and doubtless many liberal hearts
and generous dispositions would have
paid the fne, rather than to see the
gentler sex reduced to such an extrem-
ity. But now it is com mon affair, and
the sex is always represented in the
motley crew that have been guilty of
an infracton of the law. One of them,
known as Susannah, is q perfect philos-
pher, and appears to enjoy herself fully
as well as if she were ut wedding
party. She is mongrel Mexican,
loves rum to distraction, and drinks to
intoxication. There is no use in fning
or imprisoning her f; just as sure as she
is turned out, she will be picked up in
less than five hours, in some fence cor
ner, beastly drunk. She takes it all
with great stoicism and fortitude, never
letting such trifes disturb her equa-
nimity or ruffle her temper. She keeps
tally on the wall with piece of chalk,
of each day, and lives in anticipation of
taking a spree as soon as her term of
imprisonment shall have expired. Oc-
casionally she makes lay out with an
old greasy deck of monte cards, and not
unfrequently contrives to win shawl
or q pair of shoes from her less fortunate
companions in misery. The police have
given her up as hopeless case and past
redemption Maine liquor law would
not save her. To keep her company,
there is Mrs. Holt, who is constitution
ally affected with the same complaint,
and whose blearcd eyes and bloated
cheeks show her to be constant and
devoted friend of the jug. What is Pc
culiarly unfortunate in her case. is that
she has two promising children who are
dependent solely upon the kindness and
humanity of strangers for their earthly
support. This might have been hap
py and contented family, but for the
unnatural passions and infamous con-
duct of the mother and wife. But
few weeks ago the father died-the
children have been separated and pro-
yided for by strangers and to close the
drama, the mother is picked up in the
streets and sent to the county Jail as q
common vagrant and drunkard. There
is food enough in that one case to create
q dozen sermons and score of tempe-
rance lectures. From the great num-
Der of vagrants and worthless characters
that are daily picked up. it would seem
advisable that such dispo ition should
be made of them that they could at
least earn their board, and exercise suf-
fcently to keep in good physical con-
dtion. Were u workhouse established,

swelled heads new taking their ease in

TuLARE CoUNTY.-By recent act Of
the Legislature, Mariposa county has
been divided, and Tularc county formed
out of the southern portion. The east
and west line runs between the San
Joaquin and Kings rivers, commencing
at tho corners Of Monterey and San
Luis Obispo counties, and running to
Utah Territory. The new county en-
braces some Of the finest agricultural
lands in the State, none Of which are
claimed under Spanish grants. We
understand that many families and sin
gle men in Stockton, Sonora, and Mari
posa City, are making preparations to
move and settle in Tulare county. The
Mormons have had their eyes upon the
Four Creek country for some time, which
is good evidence Of the strong induce
ments it offers for agricultural purposes
The country abounds in game of all
kinds peculiar to California, and be-
tween Tulare Lake and the Coast range,
there arc large bands Of wild horses.
Tularo and Kern, or Buona Vista Lakes
contain abundance of fish, and the land
about their borders is unsurpassed in
fertility. The Indians in the southern
portion Of the county raise wheat, corn
and melons, and generally throughout
tho valley tan large amount of leather
The Indians in this part of the country
are adroit thieves, and before they were
reduced to subjection by the Mariposa
volunteers last spring give the frontier
settlers in that quarter much trouble.
Fhey are now peaceable, and can easily
be induced at low wages, to cultivate
and fence the lands of the settlers. We
know of no part Of the State affording
better facilities for procuring good farm
ing lands than Tulare county.
Land warrants for school lands con
now be procured of the State Treasurer
at the rate of two dollars in scrip per
acre, and will procure the earliest ti-
ties that can oe had The county or
ganization takes place in the second
week in July, DR.. McMullen, Mai. Sa.
wage, Judge Lewis, and Capt. Boiling,
the Sheriff of Maripesa county, arc the
commissioners appointed to make the

first of June, on their way to Tulare.

MICHIGAN FLAr.-This mining pre-
cinct is located on the South Fork OF
the American river, five miles below
Coloma, and contains at present a popu-
latlon numbering upwards Of three hum
dred American and naturalized citizens,
besides one hundred and seventy Chi
nese, who seem to have made the spot
their head quarters Within the last
few months extensive dry digsings have
been discovered in the banks some cigh-
ty or hundred yards from the river
and ihrce companies organized for con-
veying water to the placers. The Big
Ditch Company have dug race, COM
menc:ng at point above Suffers Mill,
at Coloma, and will during the present
week have so far completed it as to
throw the water into the diggings at
this point. Another company have al
ready supplied the diggiugs with water
at Greenwood Creek, and still another
have diverted portion Of the South
Fork, below Coloma.
An anti-Chinese meeting was held on
the Flat on Saturday evening last, which
was very numerously attended. The
miners resolved that the claims now
held by the Chinese on the Bar should
be sold at public auction on Sunday
next, and the proceeds refunded to them,
after which they are to depart from the
diggings Union.

LADY OPP FELLows.-We perceive by
the following, from the Anderson Is. CO.
Advocate, that the ladies of that State
have at last made dive into the mys-
teries of Odd Fellowship. They were
initiated by JocasseeLodge,No. l8. The
Advocate says:
Eight ladies made their appearance,
& were initiated into the mysteries and
instructed in the precepts o.. the degree.
They were, we have been informed,
both delighted at the idea of being
metamorphosed into daughters Of Re-
becca, and highly pleased and edited
by the instruction impaired to them
1t is thought by Odd Fellows with whom
we have spoken, that the welfare Of the
order will be promoted by the institution
of this dogrse-to receive which the
ladies are admitted into the penetralia
of the Lodge room during the session of
the Lodge, and thus become in some de-
gree identified with them. 1t seems
cruel that young unmarried ladies should
be denied the privilege of taking the
degree. Yet it may be to the interest
Of the order that they should be exclu-
ded For in case of their admission we
fear few of the members weuld con-
tiaue to be for any length of tino Odd

A VILLAGE SWEPT AwAY-ONE Hum
DRED PERSONS MIssING.--The heavy
rains which fell on Tuesday and We'd
nesday have produced a most alarming
destruction of life and property in York
shire, Lancashire. Cheshire, and Derby
shire. One truly awful calamity has
occurred at the village of Holmfrlh,
near Huddersfeld, by the overflow Of a
reservoir used for supplying the woollen
mills and number of the dwellings in
the neighborhood, with water, and
known as the Holme Reservoir. On
Thursday morning, about one o'clock, it
burst with IRENE ndous roar, and the
water rushed down the valley with ter
rife force, carrying away an immense
mill, built of stone, with all its heavy
machinery, &C., several out-buildings,
two rows Of new buildings at Holmfrth,
and part Of the village Of Hinchcliffe
Mills. Nearly all the inhabitants were
asleep al the time, and were swept TO a
considerable distance, q number of bo-
dies having been taken from the river
fifteen miles from the spot. One hun
dred persons are missing, and more than
sixty dead bodies are said to be lying
at the inns. In the neighborhood of
Manchester the rivers were so swollen
by the rain that many Of them over
flowed their banks, submerging all the
low grounds in the neighborhood. A
great portion of the Peel park laid un-
der water. A large portion of Lower
Broughlon was also submerged, the
ground in some places being covered to
a depth of nine feet On the south side
of Manchester, near the lower part Of
Oxford street, good deal of property
was destroyed, and the inhabitants of
some of the houses in Little Ireland,
were compelled to take rofuge in the
upper stories in consequence of the
Easements being flooded Several of
the mills in the neigbborhood had to be
stopped in consequence of the lover
stories being flooded. A reservoir be-
longing to Mr.. J. Brooks, at the Hope
hill cotton mill, near Stockport, is said
to have burst its banks, destroying ma
chinery and other property to the ex-
tent of nearly fl000.- Eugiish Paper.

The Boston Journal Of Wednesday morning
has the following account of the enthusiastic re-
ception given to Mr.. Webster ON his arrival in
that city:
The Hon. Daniel Webster arrived in tl;, c;,,
last evening" at5 o'clock, by the New Haven train.
Although but brief notice of his expected orr;voI
had been given, the depot was crowded with the
ardent admirers and friends of Americo,s d;stin
gu1shed statesman and when he appeared ON the
platform of the car, he was greeted with nine
such cheers as only Bostonians can give Tn ans
swer to this enthusiastic demonstration. Mr.
webster bowed his thanks, and as soon ms order
was restored, he made brief and eloquent
speech. fir. Webster spoke as follows:
Gentlemen Il thank you for this very, very
unexpected welcome. This is joyous reception
not less joyous for being spontaneous. but more
Joyous because 1t Is so. Gentlemen am Glad TO
see you. L am always glad to see YOU and TO
know of your prosperity and happiness-to see
and to know of the prosperity of CITY in which
have spent the greater part of a life-I may say,
long life. ''
, Again say glad to see you (Cheers.)-
like the sight of your faces. | am reioiced to
meet my friends in this their own good civ of
Boston. know their principles (Cheers.] I
know their hospitality. The citizens of Boston
have ever BEEN and always will be dear to me-
lCheers.) 1t is amongst you, gentlemen, that |
nave spent the best days of my life, and till the
latest pulsat1on OF my heart, shall never cease
to feel deep gratitude toward you. Loud
cheers,) L love the patriotic history of Boston
love her citizens.
Again, gentlemen, l thank you heartily for this
kind reception God bless you ALL fellow citizens.
l bid you, fervently, good day.
Nine ronsing cheers greeted the speaker on the
conclusion OF these remarks. Mr. Webster, ac-
companled by his private Secretary, was then es-
corted to barouche with six grey horses, which
had been previously provided, when nine cheers
were gwen for the GARNER of Marshfed," and
ne was driven to the residence of his sop-in-law.
James w. Paige, ESQ.,, in Summer street. Mr..
w ebster will probably proceed to MarshfeId to-
day He was looking in good health and Spirits
aithough perhaps, somewhat careworn. The
cordlalty OF his reception by the citizens of Bos-
ton, must have been gratifying welcome to the
quiet and rural pleasures in which he seeks tenn
porary relief from the cares and responsibilities
Of his high official position
HE SERENADE.-Mr. Webster was serenad-
ed last evening, at the residence of James w.
rage, Esq, at about ten o'clock. A large crowd
OF people gathered in the square in front of
the house, and cheer upon cheer echoed upon the
soul stlrrlng notes of the Brigade Band Mr.
w ebster appeared, an from the steps addressed
the crowd-thanking them fortheir kindness, urg-
Ing them as young men to stand by their country in
all issues and at all hazards. Immediately on his
appearance he enthusiastically cheered, and
curing the delivery of his short speech, he was
frequently interrupted by applause of the heart
lest kind
