The official votes of but a very few counties in the state have as.yet been reported ; ‘but, in those which have been reported officially, the fact seems to stand out that the agricultnral counties. have largely increased their voting population since 1856, while the mining counties have fallen off. The Alta California gives the voter of several agrieul“tural and mining counties, in 1856 and 1860, -from which it appears that but one farming county, in its list, has fallen offin four years, while but one mining county has gained. In Alameda, Colusi, Contra‘Costa, Marin, Napa, ‘Bacramento, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, and Sutter, all farm‘ing counties, the aggregate vote, in 1856, was ‘32,895, and in 1860, 43,620._Here isa gainof 8,725 in four years; neatly 21 per cent.— Tn the mining counties of Amador, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Siskiyou, and Trinity, the aggregate vote, in 1856, was 31,900, ‘while in 1860 it was but 23,344; showing a Now, how ia this to be explained? the miving-couaties really decreased in population.and the farming counties incrensed ?

Throughout the greater partof the Territory an unparalleled drought has destroyed all the crops, and now winter and famine stare the hapless pioneer in the face.

But hard wood is the best, and should be used freely for bedding, even if you have to go miles for it; it will answer every purpose of going to Peru after guano.” Such saw’ dust put on land right from the saw, especi ally on a thin, dry soil, is of considerable value, as an experiment meutioned by the writer above quoted proves. AMALGAMATION.—Miss Georgiette Tucker, a highly accomplisbed young lady of Toledo, on whose education her father had bestowed great pains, a graduate of Oberlin College, of fine musical talent, and who has deliveref several public lectures on literary subjects, recently—as we see by-a Toledo paper—eloped with a colored barber of that place, leaving her father in a condition of mind which can better be imagined than described. The guilty pair were married at Detroit. MANZANITA Pipes.—Nearly all the members of our bon ton use pipes made of manzanita wood. They say that such pipes are superior to meershaums. They are made by cutting the bowl of a block of the woed, which grows abundantly on our hill-sides.

We have no doubt that ere long they will become quite fashionable.—Columbia Ttmes. Reumal EXTRAORDINARY.—Not long since a man . : in Sauk county, Wisconsin, married for his second wife his own step-mother, who singularly enough, was a sister to his first wife.— The lady is, therefore, not only step-mother aud aunt to her husband’s children, but also their grandmother, while the husband is stepfather to his step-sisters. Her isaue by this niarriage will not only be own cousins to their step-brother, but uncles and aunts also. And the lady herself, being grandmother to her children and nephews, may be regarded as mother to hersejf and child to herself, and therefore her own grandmother.

On his dying bed he made his observations on the progressitig~ dissolution of his tangements for_the-rollingown bedy. “The struggle of death is hard,” he said to those around him; “ but it is of the highest interest to note this wrestle between life und death; now the-legs are dead; now the muscles of the bowels cease their functions. ‘. the last struggle must be heavy, but for all that it is highly interesting.” These were his last words. GARIBALDI AT THE VOLTURNO—It is reported that in the battle of the 1st October, Garibaldi lost 4,500 men, while the loss of the Neapolitans was less. The battle lasted twelve hours, and was finally gained by the courage cf Garibaldi, who, with his pantaloons so torn by a ballas to be scarcely wearable. led the hesitating Calabrians to the charge again and again. es KISSING THE PRINCE.—One of the most beautiful young women in New York, when she got a chance to do so on the sly, kissed the Prince of Wales.

There were several arrests made. The news of Lineeln’s election was—received at Charleston, 8. C., with cheers fora Southern Confederation, and at Augusta, Ga., with strong indignation.

' THE BIBLE FOR SALE IN NAPLES.—The Naples correspondent of the London Times, under date of September 26th, says : The greatest wonder of the day, and the fact this country is that the Bible and the New Testa. ment were exposed for sale in the Toledo yesterday. I have never seen them before, though they it?) They were English éditions, and in the duodecimo form, and were a marvelous sight for the Neapolitans, for I have no hesitatiou in saying that not one man in a thousand has ever seen a Bible—vast numbers could not have read it, had they seen it, and certainly not one woman in a hundred could have read it, though the kingdom is teeming with priests, who assume to be the lights of the world. NONE OF THEM WORKING.—According to the not the only deep sea telegraphic communication which refuses to work. The Red sea telegraph is out oforder; the Malta and Cagliari line, of about 300 miles in length has been interrupted. The line inte Algiers has been abandoned, also, that from Aden to Kuraehee is declared useless. Their failure is attributed te a want of knowledge of the peculiar character of the eleetric fluid. Notwithstanding these failuresthere are prejects in Europe for laying down other deep-sea telegraph lines, including one across the, Atlantie from Denmark to Ameriea.
