WoNDERFUL.-At the Mechanics Fair
in San Francisco, some enormous California
products were exhibited. The correspondent
of the New Orleans Delta says:
If were to essay a description of 1.-THE
of the wonderful things to be seen at this
exhibition, l am afraid your readers would
lose confidence in the veracity of your
correspondent. What say you to clean
piece ofpine plank, cut from a mammoth
tree, which measures sixteen feet in width?
or four pumpkins on one vine weighing in
the aggregate 500 pounds; or one pumpkin
of 264 pounds But these are veritables,
and there are thousands of other wonders
In mechanics and manufactures California
has made wonderful progress. You ofthe
Southern States would be indeed incredu-
lous 1t ! were to particularize.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT.-Itis proposed
in Illinois to amend the law of marriage, so
as to require that the prospective husband
and wife, on any given day, enter, in the
Office of any officer legally empowered to
do such a duty, a written declaration of in
tantion to become man and wife. From
that day, for one year, let them associate
as lovers, or break the engagement if they
choose; then, at the end of the year, if they
again express their determination to be-
come husband and wife, let the contract be
sealed.

Old World, give to these Publications interest and
value they never before possessed. They occupy
middle ground between the hastily written news

These Periodicals ably represent the three great
political parties of Great BritanEWhig, Tory, and
Radical-but politics forms only one feature of their
character As Organs of the most profound writer's
