~Iowa--It seems that the Democrats
crowed too soon in claiming vctery in Iowa.
The latest returns show that the Republicans

UThe steamer George Law arrived at New
York onW edne sday last, fromCalifornia, bring
ing one million seven hundred Thousand dol
lars in gold. The crops of California promise
an abundant yield.
1.-THE Harrisburgh Telegraph says that six
hundred and eighty-iye bills have already been
passed by the present Legislature, and sent to
the Governor for his approval, nearly all of
which have become laws.
UIn the U. S. District Court, at Pittsburg,
in an action of Parker VS.. VIM. Bigler, Wm.
Powell and John F. Weaver, to recover dam
ages for infringement of patent of reaction
water wheel, the Jury rendered a verdict in IA
vor of Plaintiff for S2O4 and costs.
UThe Vicksburg, Miss, Wing states that
ninety-six thousand dollars have been sub
scribed in that city towards purchasing plan
tation for Ex-President Pierce. The sum ask
ed for the property is 100000, leaving 81, 900

GIThe crops in Greenville county, Va, are
said to be in sad condition, and the people
are purchasing corn for food purposes at the
rate of five and six dollars per barrel. This
in Greenville county, one of the richest agri-
cultural counties in Virginia, is a sad state of
things.
~Neal Dow has had grand reception from
the temperance people of England. In a
speech made at Manchester, he claimed that
the Maine Law has been glorious and COM
plete success, which is somewhat doubted on
this side Of the water. The law undoubtedly
accomplished some good, hut that it has been
complete success cannot properly be said.
