Maternal Love.

The following touchingly elegant thoughts.
says the T5uc Californian, have been contrib
uted by q lady of Sacramento. AS they appeal
to the deepest and purest sentiment Of the soul
the first implanted. and the last Torn from it. we
know that they will find response in every
untainted bosom. Our fair correspondent need
not apprehend that we will reject, as worthless
trash, y such sentiments as these. They ennoble
human nature, redeem it from many pollution
and more than counterbalance q thousand er-
rors."

quence and truth

through many years to thy manhood, with the

THE committee was appointed. and the
General fixed the time for o'clock on Monday
morning.
The Conference room being too small to accom-
mediate the hundreds who wished to witness the
introduction, one Of the churches was suhsttut-
ed, and an hour before the time filled to over
flowing. Front seats were reserved for the Con-
ference. which was called to order by the Bishop,
seated ia large chair in the altar, just before
the pulpit. After prayers, the committee re-
tired and q minute after entered, conducting
the man whom all delighted to honor. They
led him to the Bishops chair, which was made
for him. the Bishop meanwhile occupying anoth-
er place within the alter. The secretary was
directed to call the names Of the members Of the
Conference, which he did in Alphabetical order

Bishop q personal introduction to the ex-Presi-

THE GRAssHopPERs-These insects have
made their appearance in Santa Barbara in
countless numbers and are consuming vegeta-
ton with great rapidity. We have been asur-
ed that many of the growing crops near the
''Partera" and 'Cienegitas" have already been
quite destroyed by them. They appear to have
a partiality for young bean vines and growing
grain. The dry season doubtless has favored
the development of these destructive insects

terday with horse and buggy, the thill sbc-

to the ground. The horse was frightened
and ran. Finding it impossible either to
guide or hold him, PEBBLES jumped out, the
horse pursuing it's own course. Near by
Mr.. PEcKs shop, on Main street, the wheel
struck post and the buggy was made a
wreck of and left behind. Coming up to

it was caught and led back to its owner. The

III llH dEnRS.

Our intelligence from all parts OF the
State. with reference to the growing crops
is Of the most unfavorabIe and discouraging
character. The wheat, and other small
grain, has in many sections been hopeIessIy
ruined by the fly and various insects. Be-
sides, the drouth has been SO severe and
protracted that the corn has materially suf-
fered. The latter, however, does not seem
to be the opinion of some farmers. They
entertain that a ''drv June' is favorable to
that crop. Fruits will b. scarce hereabouts.
and the general crops fail to great degree.
But while the country is enjoying condi-
ton of such marvellous prosperity, there
need be no serious apprehensions felt. The
country is strong enough and rich enough to
endure great deal oradversity. Moreover
it is quite too early yet to be venturing pre-
dictions about the Crops. Croakers abound.
let it be remembered. We give the above
only as current charlottesville Courier,

Damages for Breach Of Promise
TO Marry.

The case of THANKFUL CHALKER against
sidney KNowLToN for breach OF promise to
marry was tried in the Court of Common
Pleas o { this County, last Tuesday, and re-
suited in verdict for plaintiff Of SIXTEEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. The testi-
mony clearly proved that contract of mar.
riage had been made between the parties,
and that the defendant without any cause
had recklessly violated the same. The
plaintiff, is young lady of amable churac-
ter and excellent requirements. The ver-
dict Of the jury is, we believe, regarded as
just one. A man who will enter into q sol.
emn contract of marriage, and then wan
tonly disregard ndviolate it, should be made
to pay penalty for his dishonorable con.
duct. AS the law is, that penalty lies in
damages to the aggrieved party.
