WOMAN WHIPPING. Dutchman was la
ken before Justice Gale the other day,
charged with whipping and maltreating bis
"vrow.D When asked if he was Guilty" or
'Not Guilty" he replied: NO. not guilty,
but me did vip him."
The complaint was made by outsiders, and
the woman subpnaned as witness. In an
swer to question as to the truth of the
charge, she said: "Yaw, he beats me NIT a
stick, and slops me on de cope nit de fist;
but dat ish right, for cause me no have din
ner ready--yoao must Be SLAPPED on de cope
zen she git lazy" The lady was evidently
brought up under the teachings of Sir VIM.
Blackstone:
1.-THE husband might give his wife mode
rate correction by domestic chastisement, in
the same moderation that man is allowed
to correct his apprentices or children The
civil law gave the husband larger authority
over his wife; allowing him for some misdc-
meanors, fagelis et fustibns ocriter rerlerare
,srorem; for others, only modicam castlga-
tioaem adhibere"
This we suppose to mean that man may
whip his wife little for being a little lazy,
and severely for being SO lazy as not to have
dinner ready.

AGRICULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.

From the report of the lrveyor General Of
California, it appears that the agriculture
interest Of that State bids fair 10 take the lead
Of even the mining interest.
According to this report there are enclos S.
ed, and under scentif; cultivation, three
hundred thousand acres Of f4rming land in
California. This does not include pasture
range, or grazing grounds, but means farms
titled as they are at the East, with improved
implements and agricultural economy. The
growth Of cereals isl Stated at eight millions
Of bushels, but the proportions of each are
not given. All grains, howsEsE thrive we'll
but barley in particular, grows with unparal-
leled luxuriance.
Of potatoes, the crop was but FIVE hundred
thousand bushels, but the ground devoted 10
them was limited. A hundred thousand frui,
trees were planted, and the number of grape
vines increased TO over million and quar-
ter. The Spanish Jesuils had already eight
hundred thousand vines, and al present these
are the only ones which produce fruit. They
are OF the Malaga variety, and their remark.
able fecundity has led to steps for the further
cultivation of the grape. The Surveyor is oI
opinion that, as wine pro !ucing county,
California will soon far exceed Ohio in i'm.
portance. The Malaga grape, however. is
not considered the best. 1t is easily cultiva-
ted, and therefore commended itself 10 the
