California.

The following resume Of California news
from the New York Times is truthful,
comprehensive, and wilhal most pleasant.
The news from California is decidedly
good. Not the mining news only, though
The success Of the busy ones, in both the
wetand the dry diggings, is very grailfyin g
But the tidings from the farming districts,
it is exceedingly pleasant 10 hear. True,
the hay season will be very late in some
parts, and some are doubling whether their
barley crop will pay. But it is good 10
find that the agricultural news is becoming
so much Of a feature.
Then, they tell US Of churches gathering
in the upper country, of congregations thai
are growing into the appearance of our
Yankee parishes, and that ladies' and chill
dren form a goodly portion of them. 1, is
preasant to look over TIE statistics of the
California schools. 1t requires something
of an effort to think of children in the rug
ged State. We feel moi a little surprised

there to play together. We had glided
into the opinion that california is exclusive

with propriety be called a "sisIer State"

which one Of their papers published lately
that on an occasion, as the minister wa'

congregation; that the mother, having triet

EP-Ralher a strict disciplinarian was the
''boss" carpenter of whom We "hearn tell
a few days since. Boys" said he, "when
the bell strikes for noon you can drop your
work; but when the bell strikes for one o.
clock, | want you 10 take it up again" 1t
was not long before the bell struck for noon,
as one Of his hands was dri, ing a nail, he
Immediately dropped his hammer, leaving
the nail half driven. When the bell struck
for one he completed The driving of the
nail. This was more satisfactory than the
performance of another workman who was
on a ladder some twenty-five or thirty feet
from The ground, with bundle OF shingles
on his blck, when the bell struck. He
Immediately let them 90 and started for

PROGRESS OF CRiME.-Churches schools

ply among us. yet the calendar of crime
lengihens and blackens every year. The
annual increase in the number Of offences
is greater than the growth Of population,
under ordinary circumstances, would seem

il alarms and grieves the philan,hropist.-
70 what shall we attribute it! One school
of social philosophers solves the difficulty
with a single word-rum. But this sllmu'
LIANT to evil could be obtained as readily as
now and for the same price, twenty years
ago. There must be other and polen,
causes for the fearful progress Of dePraviIy
as exhibited by the record s Of our criminal
courts. What are those causes! We glance
at one of them. The siringency Of the
police systems Of Europe has been so
greatly increased within a few years, that
professional scoundrels find the exercise Of
their vocation emineutly p%erilous abroad.
Multitudes of Them therefore have emigraled
10 this country; where they have been told
loo truly-thatlife and property are less
efectually protected Than at home. While
the police systems of London and Paris
have been improved often times, until they
have reached a mathematical precision Of
movement and mathematical certainty oil

Arthur Spring,


Rev. joan STREET, who has been I'M
remiuing in bis exertiOns to prepare this
wretched criminal for the death that
has overtaken him, called at our office
yesterday afternoon, and handed us
The following statement, bearing ARTHUR
SPRINo's signature. The heart Of
the monster appears to be melting, and
he no longer has the hardihood 10 charge
his sou with the murders Of which he him
self stands convicted. Mr.. STREET informs
us that an interview was had between
SPRINo and his son. Both were bathed in
tears. Ii was an affecting scene, and This
exoneration Of young ARTHUR is one Of its
fruits. 1t is 10 be hoped that other inter
views will be productive Of still further re
carnations Of former stout assertions on the
part Of The condemned man, and that he
will not pass into the other world without,
confessing his crimes. There is something
awful in the spectacle of a mans standing
on The very brink Of The grave and still de-
nying all knowledge of a crime which he
must have committed. ARTHUR SPRlNo
has but two days 10 live yet-shost time
in which to purify a heart like his. But
he is ia the hands of COP, with whom all
Ihings are possible, and it may he that the
briei remnant Of life which is left him, will
no, be wasted. Let US hope and pray it
will not.

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

The grand jury beg leave to make the
following Report That they have ex-
amined the County Buildings, all of which
appeared to be sufficient for the County
business, with the exception of the Jail,
which in the opinion Of this Inquest is un-
safe for the safe keeping of the prisoners,
and unfit for their health and comfort
Wehave carefully examined the same and
End no way in which it can be altered or
repaired to make it fit place of confne-
ment. We therefore are of the opinion
that it should be taken away and new
building erected on the same lot.
