SEED TIME.-The San Francisco Call
of yesterday says that accounts from
different parts Of the State report a
good breadth Of land already seeded
with wheat. In the San joaquin Val
Icy, especially, there Is great activity
and many thousands Of acres have
been sown. A gentleman who has
just returned from n tour In Yolo
county says that a largo quantity Of
land has been seeded. The farmers
do not seem to be discouraged with
the disastrous results Of last season,
and many who raised nothing then
are putting In large tracts, believing
that they will come out all right this
time. If we are favored this Winter
with rain In sufficient quantities, Call
fornia will turn out moro wheat than
ever before.

SATISFACTION IN STEALING.-A curl
Gus case of kleptomania has come to
light in Lawrence, Mass. A burglar,
after breaking into the house, was
captured, shot and carried into the
lookup. Although his wound was
slight, It was agreed that the surgeon
should tell him he would not live
moro than On hour, In order to draw q
confession from him. The burglar,
after exacting a solemn promise from
his captor that all the money In his
possession should be handed over to
bis wife, confessed that he was the
author Of many burglarios that had
been committed In that region. and
that he Ind secreted In Ash Grove
Church, III Albany, under the pulpit,
two tin boxes filled with gold and
silyerware, and In his room, on Arch
street, In that city, several hundred
dollars In bank notes around the VAIN
scoting of tho windows and in other
places; also, that his, real name was
Carrel SAnborn, and that he worked
for q Mr.. Mcdonald in Albany. He
then handed over 81, 800 In greenbacks,
saying, according to the agreement,
that sum, with $500 In n savings bank
In Albany and $500 more secured In
his room, should be given to his wife.
He had not robbed for money, he
said, but for tho pleasure of it; It was
n mania which came over him Mt
times, and which he could not shake
of until no broke into some place.
The dark lantern found In his posses-
sion Is q marvel Of perfection, and was
made by himself. Sanborn's wife,
who resides In Bristol, New Hamp-
shire, was shocked at his arrest, rs she
supposed that he vas at work In Al
bany. AL tho money and property
were found concealed In the places In

From the Vallejo Chronicle, Nov. NJ
An exciting runaway match took
place yesterday, In which the would
b bridegroom, by superior, speed and
bottom, overcsme all obstacles and
won his prize. The hero Is G. w. Bene-
dict, formerly leader Of the Vallejo
Rifles brass band, and at present band
master on board Of the California ; tho
heroine, a young lady Of this city. The
two had formed q mutual attachment
and were engaged to be married. But
"the course Of true love never did run
smooth" and the young lady had a
big brother who was strongly opposed
to the match, not being satisfied with
the social standing Of the sutton: So a
runaway match was arranged, and
Yesterday the latter engaged a splen-
did double team Of Johnny Brownie,
and %resplendent In naval uniform and
brass buttons drove around to the resi-
dence of his affianced. The two then
drove off to Sulsun. Meanwhile the
brother finding his sister absent, smelt
a rat, and having an idea what was up
straightway got a buggy and started
after tho runaways. Tho latter, ar
rived In SuIsun, had put up at the no
| tel, and fancying the coast clear, were
| ENJOYING themselves lelsurcly, when
the brother appeared on the scene.
The couple catching sight Of him made
for their team, and jumping In started
for Fairfield at a break-neck pace, to
get the license. Their pursuer whipped
Ills horse after them, and finally over
took them In the Clerks office. Here
he tried to prevent the Clerk from Is
suing n license, but both parties being
of age the latter could not refuse.
| Armed with his license, Benedict
handed his sweetheart into the buggy,
and was about stepping In himself,
when the brother collare0 him. A seri-
GUS scutfle ensued, but Benedict finally
| shook him of, and started for Sulsun
to find a Justice to perform the marri-
age ceremony. The brother rushed for
his buggy and started In hot pursuit.
It was the fastest mile race ever Wit
messed at the county seat, and both
Fairfield and Suisun turned out largely
to witness 1t. Whip lashes cracked,
wheels spun like tops, and the gravel
on that would be-macadamized road
flew from the horses feet like hall
stones. Tho lovers came out ahead
and rushed for the Justices office with.
out delay. Their pursuer followed
hard after, and tried to prevent the
performance of the ceremony, but his
expostulations wcro Of no avail. A
few brief words made the two one,
and the bafled brother sadly returned
20 his team and drove back to Vallejo.
Benedict, now a happy Benedict, left
his team in the stable and took the
down train In the evening, going down
to San Francisco with his bride on their
wedding tour. Brownie is thus far out
4 team on the arrangement, which Is
eating Its head off in Sulsun, while the
lovers are enjoying themselves In other
climes.

The Yreka Journal says: The mid
die lake. which has run dry in Sur:
prisy Valley, leaves q sediment or bed
OF superior salt, clear as crystal, from
four inches to q foot In depth, and COW
ering an area Of Is miles In length by
six miles In width. 1t was never be-
fore supposed that these lakes con-
tanned any salt, and the water was al.
ways considered clear, fresh water,
with some alkali In 1t, MS most OF the
fresh water In Northern California
possesses. Sheriff Burgess brought n
sample to town, which Is as good rs we
ever saw ut any place and he says
that toward the center of the dry lake
1t was even nicer looking than this.
The three lakes In tho valley have
formed since 1S49, as Sheriff Burgess
says he drove a team through the val
ley in that year where the lakes now
exist, and that tho old emigrant road
passes through them. The people are
buslly employed with teams and wa
CONS gathering up the salt and storing
1t away, no less than ten teams and
wagons being in use when Burgess
Left, leaving small dark spots on the
vast white surface, which appeared
like snow on the ground.
