Santa Clara College.

The prospectus of this institution repre-.
is located in the beautiful valley of the same
name, and presided over by the Fathers Of
the Society of Jesus. The Valley is so well
known for its beauty and the unrivalled
character of it's climate, that we need
scarcely pouch upon it in those particulars
The College is located about three miles
from San Jose, and as the prospectus says
''It was founded in 1851, by the late Rev
J Nobili, S. J., was incorporated on the
18th of April, 1856, and empowered to con-
fer degrees and academical honors, and ex-
ercise all the rights and privileges of any
other literary Institution in the U. States.
In the course of last year large structure
containing eight spacious class rooms, and a
we'll ventilated dormitory one hundred and
ten feet long and forty feet wide, was added
to the College buildings. A new and COM
plete philosophical and chemical apparatus,
comprising all the recent improvements, was
ordered last year from Paris, and has ar
rived. There is large library attached to
the institution. An ticial bathing pond,
supplied by an artesian well, has been con-
structed an additional study room sixty
feet long and thirty feet wide, and also a
gymnasium for athletic exercises
From the description above portrayed of
the various attributes conducive to the
health and comfort of the pupils, as also of
their moral culture and welfare, we are led
to believe that Santa Clara College presents
great attractions for those who are just
about to attempt the ascension of the hill of
education and science.

SAD OCCURRENcE.-A correspondent of

the following melancholy occurrence:
A sad ARRAY occurred at cabin here last
night, in which man named Knight, was
killed by his partner, Mr. Garron. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. knight was an aged man,
and getting into a dispute with his partner,
while standing soutside the cabin, Garron
pushed him over bush and struck him as
he fell. In the fall his neck was broken -
Garron came for the doctor, leaving Knight
with two other partners, but when the doc
tor arrived he was dead. Garron came to
Angels camp and surrendered himself to
the officers. He appears to be greatly af-
fected at what has happened. The matter
has been examined before Judge Lake, but
no decision has been recorded as yet.

Business In Lawrence,

Business is looking up in Lawrence.
The phiz of our merchants gives daily
indications of prosperity. Money is plenty
and sales are brisk. Though our streets
are not as much thronged as they were
few weeks ago, yet our business men
have all they can do.
Gentlemen HoRNsBY on the one side of
the street and DUNGANs on the other,
are always filled up with customer; but
however large their stock, it is soon ex-
hausted. STEARNs sells all he can get
into market, and he labors as few but he
can do to keep a big stock constantly On
hand. He purposes going to Delaware.
We shall regret his loss from Lawrence.
Mr.. BLOOD is also thronged, and his
sales are enormous. Dir. CONANT, he
ought to advertise, but as he does not we
can only say he keeps full stock, and
would have more customers if he occu-
pied about quarter of column in our
advertising columns. His admirable clerk
manages to keep all persons good nstured
who call upon him. Mr.. FORD, who has
just opened new store room on the cor
ner near our Office, has a good stock, and
is selling low. More anon.

Backward Seasonal Lovely Country.

The heavy emigration to Kansas this
year was about one month too early. The
season has been unusually backward eve
rywhere, but in Kansas we have suffered
most, because persons coming here were
looking for verdure and beauty, and in
place of it they found dust and blackened
fields, and cold winds.
But spring has come at last, and the
prairies and forests are redolent with
beauty, and nature is rejoicing at the SUM-
shine and the flowers. We regret that
the thousands who came and have gone
back disappointed with Kansas, could not
be here no,0, and see our lovely country
as it is, smiling in natural wealth, and con-
trasting favorably with any country the
sun of heaven has ever shone apon.
Rev. Mr.. Pierpont, the venerable poet,
remarked the other evening that he had
travelled all over the United States, and
visited the ancient seats of empire in the
old world, had visited sunny Italy and
Greece, and the middle and northern
countries of Europe, yet in all his journey
ings his eyes had never rested on such
loneliness as he was allowed to look upon
in Kansas. Said the old man, his eyes
sparkling with enthusiasm, 81 believe
God might have made lovelier country
than Kansas, but I am sure he has never
done it."
Those who have returned back forgot
that the East, too, was cold and backward
almost beyond precedent.

zurrying Forward o>.rl.pa.

A small party who bave just arrived by
overland route through Iowa to Kansas,
report that they passed thousands who
were on their way. the great highways
being all alive with moving bodies hurry
ing onward to take their places on the
various claims yet awaiting occupants.
An were filed with enthusiasm; all were
conscious that the " star of empire'' was
moving westward and all were anxious
to reach their destination, that they might
commence the work of making the prai-
RES of Kansas "bud and blossom as the
rose.''
No person arriving at this season of the
wear will be dissatisfied with Kansas. He
will feel stimulated, on his arrival, to
take hold with the thousands who have
come in advance of him, and aid with the
hand of labor in making the country what
il should be.
Hon. Henry Wilson, in his address the
other night, said he could almost forgive
the people of Missouri for their efforts to
drive out the Northern settlers. lie did
not wonder that they had sought TO wrest
the country from freedom. Free labor
planted here, and stimulated to exertion,
would dot this country all over with Or
chards and groves, and shaded avenues /;
and mansions riyaling Eastern magnif-
cence would he here, contrasting too
wildly with the dilapidated cabins, brok-.
Ell down fences, and general desolation
everywhere visible in slave State.
Let our Eastern friends hurry on.
There still is room; but all cannot settle
about Lawrence, the bright particular spot
around which clusters 50 many associa-
tons of genuine interest to the friends of
freedom. The prairies yet are here,
wooing to their embrace the hand of In
dustry and the seed of the husbandman.
They are better adapted to the wants of
agriculture than are the woodlands; and
did the pioneer consult his true interest,
he would select these in preference to the
embowered forests, which need so much
labor to subdue and make subservieDt to
the wants of the settler.

Scarcity in Iowa.

A gentleman directly from Southern
Iowa informs us that there is actual suf-
fering in that country, because of the great
scarcity of provisions. Last season there
was but about a one-third crop of wheat
and corn and this scarcity, together with
the backward spring. has placed them at
starvation prices at the present time. Our
informant paid four dollars bushel for
corn, and found it exceedingly difficult to
get it at that price. Cattle are dying of
starvation, and the state of affairs is truly
disheartening.
