Garey Di.st. Deputy of the order of Patrons of Hus bandry, gave a lecture at the Court House" on Wednesday evening last, to a large and attentive audience. Space will not permit us giving more than a brief synopsis of his address. The lecturer said that the order was spoken of first during the presidency of Johnson, the National grange being organized on the 4th day of December 1867. Its objects were to stop encroach ment* of monopolies, and to establish facilities in trade that would tend to bring the producer and consumer to gether in business transactions, and to 'avoid the necessity of middlemen. The order in its incipiency received cold en couragement, if any at all, there being but two granges organized during 1868. It was not long after, when the order began springing in several of the States, and whs now like a tidal wave sweeping over the entire land; that within the last six months no less than 6,000 granges have been organiz ed. The order was planted in Califor nia on the 15th of July, and, already, within the short period of four months there were 104 granges in working or der. The movement is not confined to this country alone, but was spreading in Great Britain and Germany. The speaker then gave some wholesome re marks upon the cost of sewing ma chines, reapers, etc., the price paid for them, and pointed out a way in which everything could be obtained at nearly first cost. The Southern Dist. Agri cultural Fair was passed upon in a very pleasing manner, and in unqual ified terms, the speaker said that it was no representation of onr agricul tural resources. The lecture through out was interesting, and highly ap preciated.—[Guardian, Nov. 20. List of the Awards to Our Representatives in Vienna.

A Western editor has put in practice a plan which will enable all papers to dispense with the usual fighting mem be of the staff. One morning he was waited on by the biggest kind of a fel low, armed with a terrific cudgel, with several and sundry protuberances sticking out all around, marvelously resembling Colts, Derlngers and Bowies, who saluted him with, "Where's that scoundrel, the editor?" Our friend said, "He is not about; but please take a seat and amuse yourself with a paper; ho will be in a few min utes," and hurried down stairs, at the foot of which he met another man still more profane and fierce, who asked the same question in the same lan guage. "Oh," said the retreating edi tor, "go up stairs; you will find him reading the paper." Accordingly up he went, like a high-pressure steam engine, letting off steam at every step. Our friend waited a minute, and such a crash—slam, Jiang, oath, curse, ob jurgation—as if all Pandemonium was let loose. What the result was was never known, as our friend didn't wait. A beautiful and wealthy anonyma of Kensington, England, has made a sensation by marrying a youthful lover ofthe first circles, paying £6,000 to make good, his bank defalcation, giving her whole fortune, and finally committing suicide because he desert ed her, Sne protested that she mar ried to secure his reformation and her own. Poor Magdalen. Charles R. Peters advertises in Sat urday's Pott to the extent of six col ums. He is proposing to build an im mense market. The rest of his propo sitions about drinking fountains, Lick statute, and a $60,000 race, are proba bly chaff to catch the unwary. Los Angeles Daily Herald. DIFFICULTIES OF A STOKER'S WIFE. A writer in Good Word* tells the following story of the difficulty some people meet with endeavoring to lead a "religious life." A lady had gone to visit a young couple of the better class of the poor. They had no children, and the husband being a stoker on a railway, they were above the reach of want. Under these circumstances it seemed to the visitor that they might have attended to their religious duties at least to the extent of going to church on Sundays, and she ventured to Intimate as much to the young wo man, who was standing rather idly at the door. "Will you please walk in till I show you something?" was the woman's answer: and she conducted her*visitor to the little kitchen, where her husband sat by the Are. He had just come home for half an hour to have his tea, and was watching the kettle with the most absorbing inter est. He was of course in his working clothes, and his face and hands were of a deep oily black, aftir the manner of stokers. "Now, ma'am," said the woman, pointing to him, "you see that there man; that's my husband, and I'm bound to do a part by him, ain't I?" "Surely," said the visitor, anxious to uphold the duties of matrimony. "Very well then; would you like to know how I pass my Sundays? A washing of he! Never a blessed mo ment has he to wash himself through the week, out early and late, and half the night, too, and blacker nor any crow all the while. Well, on Sunday's it is fitting and proper that he should try to look like a Christian if he can, so he sets me to it after we eats our breakfast, with a bucketful of soapsuds and a scrubbing brush, and I rubs at him off and on all day, till my arms ache, and he ain't much better than he wor: and then after we have our tea he says to me, 'Come, Sally, have another try, there's a brave wench,' and I goes at him again, and sluees him down till you'd think him a born nigger 'ud come out white; and, if you'd believe me, ma'am, when I pol ishes him off with a dry towel afore he goes to bed, he's only a light brown after all." What was to be said to such stubborn facts; especially when the good woman finished with the un answerable argument, "So you see, ma'am, them as wants to live religious has best not marry a stoker." Eastern Feeling about Cuba. In a very warlike editorial, the N. Y. Herald thus states the demand of the President in the Virginius case: The President demands the formal delivery of the Virginius to officers of our government in a port of the United States; the release and restoration to our protection of the surviving cap tives; a money indemnity to the heirs of all taken from on board the Vir ginius and put to death; the trial and punishment of General Burriel and all other responsible officers; the imme diate and unconditional abolition of slavery in Cuba as the source of all pending difficulties and complaints. We will welcome war as the solution of a difficulty that has troubled our statesmen for generations, and as the legitimate means of inflicting a right eous and merited punishment upon a barbarous foe; and as plucky old Eng land goes all the way to Ashantee to punish the murder of people entitled to her protection, it will go hard if we cannot inflict a similar punishment in our own waters, and in the very sight and hearing of our people. A Curious Animal. Coleman, of Boise City, has caught an animal of which the wise heads of Idaho seem to know but little. It weighs about twenty-five pounds, is about fifteen inches high and eighteen long, has a short stub-tail one or two inches long; thinish long hair from the top of its head back to his rump of a dark brown color, something like a brown bear; face smooth and pleasant, with full round eyes resembling a dog. Its fore legs and feet resemble a dog; a little speck of white in the forehead and under the neck, and between the toe nails of each foot; its rump has short gray hair; takes considerable pains to sit on its rump, with his hind legs evenly fixed between the fore feet. It is very docile, can make sort of a growl, not a bark. The animal was caught a year ago, sixty miles below Boise City, about, three miles from Snake river. A correspondent of the Herald gives us .some . valuable information about timber. He says: "Among the trees, we note many tropical palms and northern pines in singular con tiguity, ash, oak, elm, chestnuts, bread-fruit and Australian gums, Tahiti, Hawaiian, Mandarin, Cuban. Floridian and Mexican oranges, and many varieties ofapples, pears, plums, peaches, lemons and limes; among the shrubbery, guavas, bananas, plant ains, alligator Dears and persimmons; whilst as for flowers, from every land and clime, from the magnolia to the violets and forget-me-nots, in bound less variety and profusion; their mere catalogue would fill our columns to overflowing, and call into requisition botanical researches for which we have an abundance of inclination, but for which the limited time at our com mand is entirely inadequate. The building of the Opera House in San Francisco, on Misson street near Third is well under way, the first story and iron front being already erected. The work is to be pushed for ward rapidly, in order to have the roof perfected before the rainy season sets in. In this theatre building, it is es mated that a greater length of time will be taken up in fitting and finish ing the interior of the walls and roofs; and consequently the first performance is not expected to take place before the 22d of Febuary next. Much of the interior work is now being done under the supervision of an experienced stage carpenter in a shop near the new theatre buHding. The N. Y. Herald is going after Nast ln a very no*<-y way. It pub lishes letters from pretended sympa thises with Nast, enclosing him a chew of tobacco, a check for five cents, some turtle soup remnants, and a brass medal.

J Herewith I certify that Miss Josephine Lind k" has been a student In my department of the University for Aye consecutive terms, vie: from September, 1870, to April Bd, 1872. During this time she studied the French, the Spanish and the German languages, obtaining always the highest marks for proficiency ana attend ance, her average credit mark Tor five terms being 97 per cent. . On entering the University, Miss Lindley possessed already such knowledge of the French and Spanish Idioms as to be able to speak them with ease, fluency, correctness, and a puFe pronunciation.
