Juba performed to select but admiring
crowds. How the ninstrels went through
The county rejoicing the hearts of the youth

Terpsichore and Thespjs How they shot
meteoric scintillations Of wit and humor.-
How they did everything but pay cash.

MOVING TO THE HILLS.-Inc OacranentO
Bee remarks:
Our citizens who intend going into the
farming, orchardizing. vinyardizing or stock
raising business in the season now near at
hand-and We hear of quite number of
such-are seeking localities, or moving to-
ward those already selected. Many of those
about to enter upon the business of grape
growing prefer the valleys in the foot hills,
rs they consider the soil and climate there
preferable for this purpose. It is not so in
all places, but there are tens of thousands of
acres right in the heart of the auriferous
region, which are better grape lands, partic-
ularly for wine making purposes, than any
that we have in this valley.

HORTICULTURE FOR WOMEN" Whoever
grows anything feels new interest in every
thing that grows; and as to the mood of
mind in which the occupation is pursued, it
is, to town-bred women, singularly elevating
and refining. To have been reared in farm
house, remote from society and books, and
ignorant of everything beyond the bounds of
the parish, is one thing; and to pass from an
indolent or literary life in town, to rural
pursuits, adopted with purpose, is another.
In the first case, the state of mind may be
narrow, dull and coarse; in the latter it
should naturally be expansive, CHEEKY and
elevated The genuine poetry of man and
nature invests an intellectual and active life,
in the open universe of rural scenery If
listless young ladies from any town in En-
gland could witness the way in which hours
slip by in tending garden, and consulting
about the crops, and gathering fruit and
flowers, they would think there must be
something in it more than they understand.
If they would but try their hand at making a
batch of butter, or condescend to gather
eggs, and court acquaintance with hens and
their broods, or assume the charge of sin
gle nest, from the hen taking her seat to the
maturity of the brood, they would find that
life has pleasures for them that they knew
not of-pleasures that have as much sro-
nance and poetry about them as any book

SPEECH.

The number Of clergymen who an
nually run away with other men $
wives In the United States, is esti-
mated, by gentleman curious in
such matters, to average one hundred
and fifteen. Of these, about two
thirds leave families Of their own.
Various reasons are assigned for the
proverbial fondness which the cloth
exhibits for the female movables Of
othtr people; bet without fixing upon
any that can Do considered satisfacto-
ry. That it is a weakness cannot well
be denied; but thatit is an nmiable
weakness, no one will be likely to
dispute. 1t must be confessed that
standing in the aggregate, the mum
Der of reverend deiaulters look pref
ty large; but when it is remembered
how frequently such occurrences
are announeed--whils very many
never got into the papers at 'ell--it
seems probable that if there is an
error in the calculation it is in making
the number too small.
