DISCRETION AND INsANITY.-YeSter-
day morning o German woman, be-
tween torty-fve and fifty years of age,
accompanied by her daughter, q child
of about ten years, called mt the sta
t~ion-house to see If she could obtain
any assistance in the matter Of finding
her husband, who had gone Oft and
left her In destitute circumstances.
Her story was that n few weeks since
her husband prevailed OH her to break
up housekeeping at Moore's Flat,
where they had lived for fifteen years,
and to make a trip to the East. She
consented reluctantly, and In due time
their property was sold, bringing them
about 81, POO coin, and they came down
to the city to take the cars. About
this time, however, her husband had
met another woman, younger than his
wife, and taking q fancy to her the
twain ran away yesterday, taking all
the money except about 20 which the
wife had about her person. The police
did not see that they could. help her,
but volunteered to do what they could,
and with this promise she left the sta
tion-house and walked to the Central
Pacific depot. While there looking
after her baggage and crying bitterly,
u young man, whose name subsequent
ly proved to be Gustave Marks, met
and claimed her IS his long lost moth
er, saying that his father had promised
him If he would come to California
that he would tell him who his mother
was, q fact of which he claimed to
have been kept In ignorance. The III
terchange Of a few sentences made It
apparent that he was out Of his mind,
and he was taken to the police station
by special officer alderman, where an
examination by q Board of. Physicians
proved that he was insane.-Sac.

Railroad, came to a violent death by
some mysterious means rs yet unascer-

his body was found near the track,
with q deep fracture Of the skull near
the temple, two bad Commissions OH the
back Of the head and a deep cut at the

AaMcULTUBE.-The monthly report
Of the Department of Agriculture says
the season thus far has been very IA
vorable to vegetable growth, except in
the single element of moisture. The
estimate of acreage Of winter wheat,
compared with the area of 1859, shows
an average decrease throughout the
country of nearly five per cent. The
superiority Of early-sown winter wheat
manifested at the opening Of Spring
is fully maintained to the present time.
Winter barley has nearly the same
breadth as last year. The Spring SOW
ing has been increased. Its condition
is fine in States West Of the Mississippi
except Missouri and California, but Is
subject to the same reduction as wheat
in the Ohio Valley.
