The Grain Crops in California.

Accounts from some of the grain
growing districts of California represent
that the yield this season will fall fsi
short of that of last year. Throughout
the coast counties the wheat has suffered
seriously from rust, and reports from
various sections of the State show o
rather discouraging prospect. In Solano
county the VOLUNTEER fields are moved
for hay, and many of the late-sowp fields
will hardly pay for harvesting. In the
southern part of the State the late rains
have benefited the grain, which was in q
languishing condition, and in Monterey
county a fair yield is expected. In a
part of Santa Clara some of the farmers,
anticipating light hay crop, are dis
posed to convert their growing wheat
into hay, but are advised by the news
papers not to commit such folly in view
of the expected demand for expectation.
In the San Joaquin Valley, west of the
river of that name, the average yield Of
wheat is estimated at sixty-five bushels to
the acre. The harvesting began about
two weeks ago. In Mercer county the
farms which were settled upon last fall,
near Black creek, promise to yield thirty
bushels of wheat to the acre, and forty
bushels of barley throughout, notwith.
standing the crops were sowed late.
Oats six feet high were cut recently in
Los Angeles county, and oats sev en- feet
high are noted as among the tall things in
the neighborhood of Sscrame nto city.
Myriads of grasshoppers have appeared
on the line of the Sacramento and
Placerville railroad. and it is represented
that they were so thick that the wheels of
the locomotives passing up and down the
road, frequently slipped, making it
necessary to use sand.

Hung for Love = A Station house
Prisoner Temporarily suspends
Himself.

From the Courier-J Journal. 6th.l
On, Sunday ]. c. Clemons, of North
Carolina, drunk, was arrested and lodged
in the First street station-house by officer
Bob Sesy. He was very submissive for
while, but after an hour or so became
restless and began to cry. When asked
what was wanted, be replied that he had
fallen very deeply in love with young
woman on Lafayette street; that he
wanted to see her; that he would have to
see her before he could think of being
quiet. At this the officer who had ar
rested him proceeded to the woman's
residence and accompanied her 10 the
station. When the man in the cage saw
the woman outside, be cut up all sorts of
antics aud exhibited the greatest pleas
ure. He told her through the bars that
he wanted to marry her; that if she
would take him for better or for worse he
would make q lady Of her. But the wo-
man, though several years his Junior" +"
had evidently seen more of this world
than be, and refused to accept on any
terms. She, however, consented to sit
down near his cage for awhile, that he
might have the privilege of talking to
her. The keeper Of the station went out
in front of the house and set down, think
ing the fellow would. like most men, be
very we'll satisfied while he had pretty
woman TO talk TO. But in this be was
mistaken. The keeper had hardly taken
his accustomed chair on the sidewalk be-
fore the woman ran out and informed
