From the reports of the State officers we learn
that there are in California 1866 children Of
school age. 1t is gratifying TO fnd that these
are distributed pretty generally over The State,
and that the means Of education are everywhere
within reach. During the year ls56 the State
government distributed among the various ooun-
ties si3. l6i for school purposes In san Frnn-
cisco the number of children is I.75l, and in
Sacramento 2,223. These figures indicate that
society there is rapidly assuming the same set
tied character as in the States. The official sta
tistics al so show that during the year 1856 tho
production Of wheat was 3.465 $40 bu shells; bar
ley. 3. 30, $50 bushels; oats, 76l.s70 bushels;
corn. los. iG6 bushels; potatoes, 72l .Ols bushels
In the year loj5, the production was--wheat
2,S5I,955 bushels; barley, 2,203,i05 bushels
oats, | Isl ,3D bushels. Il thus appears that
wheat and .i37 .O25 bushels Of barley, and a de-
crease Of $50 400 bushels of oats. In these Ia
no returns Dmng the year 1856 there arrived
at San Francisco 2s,265 emigrants from abroad.
and departed - 903, leaying gain of 53b2. Du-
ring the last half of the year, the excess of nrri
walls over departures WAS only 927, whereas in
former years that portion OF the year has usual
~ witnessed the largest excess.
