WIT AND HUMOR. A Roohyam firt had an offer of marriage the other evening, and rushing to the hall she called up stairs: "Mother! am I engaged to anybody d'ye know?" "I am astonished, my dear young lady, at your sentiments; you make me start." "Well, I have been wanting you to start for the last hour." An exchange doesn't understand how a young man on a salary of ten dollars a week can afford to make his girl a present of a diamond ring worth $50. His washerwoman, with whom he is nine weeks in arrears, thinks she can understand it—Newtown Herald. An printer's festival, lately, the following toast was offered: "Woman—second only to the Press in the dissemination of news!" The ladies are yet undecided whether to regard this as a compliment or otherwise. A CLERGYMAN in Iowa stood in his door and warned a donation party that the first one who entered his gate would be a dead man. He said it was bad enough to take half his pay in beans, without having his house destroyed. A DUBUQUE boy was rather troubled for fear that he would not know his father when they both reached heaven, but his mother eased him, remarking, "all you have to do is to look for an angel with a red nose on him." "I am very much afraid," said a prominent church member, "that brother Gupkin will never get to heaven; he has fallen from grace so often." "That's a fact," replied the other brother; "he beats all to fall from grace, but he always manages to 'light on his feet.'" A CHICAGO husband, three weeks married, has sued for a divorce on the ground that his wife has an early rising mania—that she insists upon getting up every morning at four o'clock, and as soon as she is dressed stirs him up with the broomstick until he follows her example. A STORY is told of an old gentleman who always took notes of his minister's sermons, and on one occasion read them to the minister himself. "Stop, stop!" said the latter, on the occurrence of a certain sentence, "I didn't say that." "I know you didn't," was the reply; "I put that in myself to make sense." AN AVERAGE MEAL—The meal which a traveler ordered at a Wayside inn was exceedingly inferior. At its conclusion, which was soon reached, he stepped up to the counter to settle for it—"Well." A Romantic Shipwreck Story. The Springfield Republican has the following: "The story of the Norfolk (Connecticut) propeller E. A. Woodward during the recent ice-blockade in Long Island Sound is one of the most interesting chapters of the terrible experience of the men on the New England coast. The vessel started from Providence for New York February 3, but was soon driven into Newport harbor by a violent gale. Next day she started again, but was forced to seek shelter in a New London harbor. Having cooled up the propeller passed into the sound on Sunday, the 7th, but was met by immense ice floes, tossing about with resistless force. The vessel was approaching Faulkner's Island, a little more than six miles from Guilford, Sunday night, when Capt. Bartlett spied what he took to be a buoy, and he steered directly for it. When it was too late the object was found to be the sharp point of a ledge, and the vessel struck upon it with a tremendous shock, the rock piercing the hulk and holding it fast. It was high tide, and so when the water ebbed, a mass of ice was thrown upon the ship. The crew abandoned their vessel and made their way through the darkness to the light-house. For five days efforts were made to save something from the propeller, the crew going on board several times with difficulty. They had boarded her on Friday, the 12th, when during the afternoon a terrific gale sprung up, the ice piled up ten feet high to the windward, threatened to fall and crush them, and they were without food. Capt. Brooks rushed to the rescue from the light-house, accompanied by his two daughters, Mary and Nannie, eighteen and twenty years old, who aided their father in dragging his heavy life-boat from the opposite side of the island over to the shore near the wreck. Although the mercury was at zero, with a biting northwest wind that the hardy seamen were scarcely able to withstand, the two young ladies bravely helped to bear the boat over the ice-cakes to the open water, where it could be launched. A rope was thrown to the ship and made fast to the deck, and also secured on shore, and by its aid the boat was rowed over the stormy waves to the vessel's side. The sailors were all taken off and the life-boat returned in the same manner. All were completely exhausted when they arrived on the island. But for the noble efforts of Capt. Brooks' family the crew must have perished. The day ended with a terrible snow-storm. The vessel was mostly on an freight to thence any pre-Class great United Kingdom advance in price; the stock on and a fear that "latter ruinsance and best grades. Barclay mand for ships nearly ceased; and prices had unchanged rank at better figures in light deptoes arrive free points; and instructions; receipts selling at gry and cheap.

"Stop, stop!" said the latter, on the occurrence of a certain sentence, "I didn't say that." "I know you didn't," was the reply; "I put that in myself to make sense." An Average Meal.—The meal which a traveler ordered at a Wayside inn was exceedingly inferior. At its conclusion, which was soon reached, he stepped up to the counter to settle for it. "Well," said the landlord, "I hope you had a good supper." "Yes," replied he musingly, "the supper averaged first-rate; the butter was strong and the tea weak." A wee bit girl in Cusco, Wis., while at the breakfast table a few mornings since, made loud and repeated calls for buttered toast. After disposing of a liberal quantity of that nourishing article, she was told that too much toast would make her sick. Looking wistfully at the dish for a moment, she thought she saw a way out of her difficulty, and exclaimed, "Well, give me anuzzer piece and send for the doctor." "Do you believe in second love, Mister McQuid?" "Do I believe in second love? Humph! if a man buys a pound of sugar isn't it swate? And when its done don't he want another pound, and isn't that swate too? Troth, Murphy, I do behave in second love." Robert Kettle, a temperance missionary in Glasgow, left a few tracts with a young lady, one morning. Calling at the same house a few days afterwards, he was rather disconcerted at observing the tracts doing duty as curl papers on the head of the damsel to whom he had given them. "Weel, my lassie," he remarked, I see you have used the tracts I left wil ye; but, he added, in time to turn the confusion into merriment, "ye have putten them on the wrong side o' your head, my woman." New England Dress in the Olden Time. Among the first settlers, both the material and the style of dress were far removed from the extravagance of the present day. The men wore suits manufactured by the wives and daughters; the women made their afternoon visits in a short loose gown, with checked apron, and neck kerchief, spun and woven by themselves. The outside garment of the men was the homespun frock. It was whole in front, and was put on over the head. The color was medium blue striped with a white thread. It came down to the knees, and in cold weather was worn on all occasions. Parson Moor, of New Boston, used to say that when he made his annual March meeting prayer about an acre and a half of blue and white frocking arose before him. In truth, homespun cloth was the only kind known in those good old days of Central New England. The sheep were of a course woolled kind. The wool was carded by hand cards, a very laborious work for the women. Sometimes, to make it more cheerful, they would make a bee, or "wool breaking." It was nearly as much work to card as to spin it, and a woman's biting northwest wind that the hardy seamen were scarcely able to withstand, the two young ladies bravely helped to bear the boat over the ice-cakes to the open water, where it could be launched. A rope was thrown to the ship and made fast to the deck, and also secured on shore, and by its aid the boat was rowed over the stormy waves to the vessel's side. The sailors were all taken off and the life-boat returned in the same manner. All were completely exhausted when they arrived on the island. But for the noble efforts of Capt. Brooks' family the crew must have perished. The day ended with a terrible snow-storm. The vessel was soon carried out to sea and lost. The captain and crew imprisoned on the island communicated with the main-land by means of a solar telegraph, but no aid could be sent because the sea was so rough. On Wednesday, the 17th, they got desperate, and setting out in a life-boat reached shore after a rough experience with the ice-cakes. They had been separated from the world eleven days. The crew speak with the greatest enthusiasm of the light-house people, who so imperiled their lives to save them. Captain Brooks, the light-keeper, is about fifty-four years old, and has been in his present position for over twenty years. He has received a gold medal from the New York Society for the Preservation of Life as a reward for former bravery, and, a few years ago, the citizens of New Haven presented him with a silver set to testify their appreciation of his services. The two daughters, who have shown themselves as brave as their father, were both born on the little island, and are well educated and cultivated. They are provided with many of the luxuries of the city, and they entertained the sailors in their little stone tower with music on the piano and guitar. They say they are perfectly happy in their strange, sea-washed home, and prefer its quiet, monotonous enjoyment to the pleasures of the social world. The captain's wife, with a nephew in his teens, complete the household. Captain Brooks is somewhat a lover of science, and he has in his museum probably the finest collection of stuffed birds in the country. He was a sea captain until he retired to Faulkner's Island. Anecdote of Thaddeus Stevens. The following authentic anecdote of the late Thaddeus Stevens (contributed by a prominent ex-member) contains a grain of pure Attic salt, which some of those who are in the habit of searching The Drawer for that condiment may relish: Time—the close of the "long session" of the Fortieth Congress, July 27, 1868. Place—office of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives, Washington. Dramatis Persona—a group of impecunious M.C.'s, waiting to draw their arrears of pay. Seated on a lounge in the background were John F. Driggs, then representing the Lake Superior mining district of Michigan, and Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania. The "Old Commoner" was then on the very verge of the grave, "nigh to death's door," as he himself expressed it (he died two weeks afterward); but although his shrunken frame gave painful evidence of "natural force abated," his eye—that lustrous orb that glittered from out the cavernous depths beneath the beetling brow of a massive forehead like White being vee BRAN and are $1400 for middlings.

Parson Moor, of New Boston, used to say that when he made his annual March meeting prayer about an acre and a half of blue and white frocking arose before him. In truth, homespun cloth was the only kind known in those good old days of Central New England. The sheep were of a course wooled kind. The wool was carded by hand cards, a very laborious work for the women. Sometimes, to make it more cheerful, they would make a bee, or "wool breaking." It was nearly as much work to card as to spin it, and a woman's "stent" was five skeins a day, for which the usual price was fifty cents and board per week. It was then woven in the old hand loom. For pantaloons and vest the common color was "sheep's gray;" the wool of the black sheep and the white sheep spun and woven together. Such was the attire of our pioneer ancestors. The magisterial three-cornered cocked-hat, tightly fitting small clothes and silver knee and shoe buckles were not worn by the men who felled the primeval forest. THE FULL VALUE.—A few years ago, a couple of Dutchmen upon the high hills of Limestone, though very friendly, had a terrible falling out about one killing the other's dog, for which he was sued for damages. They were called into court, and the defendant in the case was asked by the judge if he killed the dog. "Pe sure I kilt him," said the Dutchman, "but let him proof it." This being quite satisfactory, the plaintiff was called on to answer a few questions; he was asked by the judge at what amount he estimated the damages. He did not understand this question so well, so to be a little plainer, the judge asked him what he thought the dog was worth. "Pe sure," said he, "the dog was wort noting; but since he was so mean as to kill him, he shall pay de full value of him." On this principle (of simple revenge) a great many law-suits are commenced. It should be remarked, however, that the one chief object of the laws is to protect a man's property, even though it is "wort noting." The signs "Look out for the locomotive when the ball rings," have been dug out of the snow at most Jefferson county railroad crossings.—Rome Sentinal. Make hay while the sun shines. Seated on a lounge in the background were John F. Driggs, then representing the Lake Superior mining district of Michigan, and Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania. The "Old Commoner" was then on the very verge of the grave, "nigh to death's door," as he himself expressed it (he died two weeks afterward); but although his shrunken frame gave painful evidence of "natural force abated," his eye—that lustrous orb that glittered from out the cavernous depths beneath the beetling brow of a massive forehead like the "black diamond" in the mino—"was not dim." Driggs was particularly jubilant over the passage of a bill imposing a higher duty on copper, in which his constituents were deeply interested, and Mr. Stevens, in his habitual vein of sarcastic humor was "chaffing" him about it, alleging among other things, that he had got his bill through by bribery. (This was in allusion to some nuggets of virgin copper, rudely moulded into the form of paper-weights, which Driggs had distributed among members with whom he was personally intimate as souvenirs of the mineral wealth of the district). Upon that hint of "bribery" spoke Mr. Steven's colleague from the Berks County district: "By-the-by, Mr. Stevens, Driggs gave me one of those paper-weights, and I voted for his bill. Tell me—your experience is so much better than mine—can I take it home with me and keep it without being accused of accepting a bribe!" "Well, yes," was the reply, uttered with all the gravity of a judge pronouncing an "opinion," you can keep it as this, but as you value your good name, don't have it coined into peanuts!"—Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for March. It is reported that a somewhat juvenile dandy said to a fair partner at a ball: "Miss, don't you think my mustaches are becoming?" to which Miss replied: "Well, sir, they may be coming, but they haven't arrived yet."

"The truth in exchange for wheat, pork or potatoes," is what an enterprising dentist advertises. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. As regards the present appearance and future prospects of the growing crops, we have but little change to remark since our last. In some portions of the State the want of rain is beginning to felt, while it would not be welcome in any portion, in order to ensure full maturity for the harvest. Business has been rather dull for the week, and there is some complaint of stringency in the money market owing to the unusual rise in gold, the present ruling quotations being 116%, one merchant availing themselves of the advance to settle Eastern accounts. Grain is steadily moving seaward from the interior, and at the present writing there is a fair prospect of disposing of the surplus on hand before the incoming of the new crop, and that at better prices than have been ruling for the past two months. Purchases are now being made mostly on ship's account, present rates of freight to the United Kingdom being lower than any previous year—say £2@£2s for first-class grain ships to direct ports in the United Kingdom. Wheat still continues to advance in price owing to an impression that the stock on hand has been over estimated, and a fear that we may not be favored with the "latter ruins." Flour has also felt the advance and better figures are obtained for all grades. Barley is less inquired for, the demand for shipment overland by rail having nearly ceased. Receipts are light, however, and prices hardening. Oats are very dull at unchanged rates. Corn is in moderate demand at better figures. Buckwheat is quiet. Rye is in light demand at nominal prices. Potatoes arrive freely from Humboldt and other points, and move off readily at our quotations; receipts of new are increasing daily, selling at good prices. Onions are plenty and cheap. The stock of hops is nearly exhausted and prices rule high. Wool is exceedingly dull, with no improvement to note in prices, which are down to the lowest point apparently. The Spring clip has made its appearance, and some small transactions have taken place at fair figures. WHEAT. During the past week prices have been steadily advancing, and the range of prices may safely be stated at $1.55@1.65 for choice, for export, and holders are slow to accept even these prices at the close. Millers are offering as high as $1.70 for extra choice lots for milling. Sales for the week are recorded as follows: 5,000 sks Extra Choice, $1.70; 20,000 sks do, private; 10,000 sks do, $1.80; 15,000 sks do, $1.92; 4,500 sks fair quality, $1.50@$1.55. The Liverpool quotation of latest date is for average, 8s 11d@$9s 10d. The Sacramento Bee of March 14th thus editorially reviews the condition of the State: "Wheat fields of hundreds and thousands of acres, all over the State, have upon them young grain twelve to eighteen inches high; and the scythe may enter the Alfalfa patch at any time. The orchards are odorous with bloom, and present from afar a rainbow sea of delicous beauty.' What the fruit crop of California may be worth cannot be estimated with any correctness, but its figures would be enormous could there be a market found for the crop; or if its owners were to preserve it for the multitude beyond the mountains. It is estimated that California will this year yield sixty million." NEW SONG BOOK—173 Songs—only 15 minutes; from Box II, Carnival, Maine.

It is estimated that California will this year yield sixty million pounds of Wool, twenty million gallons of Wine, fifty million bushels of Wheat, sixty thousand pounds of Honey, two million eight hundred thousand pounds of Tobacco, and fifteen hundred tons of Beet Sugar!

Owing to a large export trade at low prices early in the season, stocks are much reduced and prices remain steady and firm at $18@$22¢ for White Comb; dark do. $12½@$15c; Strained remains steady at $6@9c, according to quality. BEESWAX—Stock on hand is limited—receipts light with little inquiry—quotable at $28½@$7¢ D. POTATOES—Receipts have been quite liberal during the week,但 prices are without change although the demand continues active. We quote choice Humboldts at $1 80 @$1 90. All other choice varieties bring at $1 75 @$1 80 on the wharf. New bring $4@$5¢ D. ONIONS—The demand is fair,bowing to HOPS—There is no movement to speak of. Stocks are very light, and prices are firm, holders waiting for higher prices; 35@27%c may be quoted as the range. HONEY—Present receipts are small.

ONIONS—The demand is fair, but owing to free receipts and the large quantity of inferior quality on hand prices have a wide range, say 75c@1 37%, the latter for choice Silverskins. WOOL—We have very few transactions to note for the week. Fall wool is in large stock, most of it being undesirable, being earthy, burry and very short staple; it is, of course, almost unsalable, even at the very low prices ruling—quotable at 10@19%; a few small, choice lots, have been sold at 15@18c. The Spring clip promises much better as to general average quality, and will probably find a ready market at fair prices.

Centinela Colony. The Centinela Rancho, situated on the coast, in a westerly direction from Los Angeles and about three miles distant from the limits of that beautiful city, contains 25,000 acres of good, arable valley land, a large portion of which is choice bottom and well adapted to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits. Near the highest elevation is a cluster of large springs, from which flows a stream of crystal water several feet wide and six or eight inches deep, which may be conducted to almost any portion of the rancho. On the adjoining ranches are strong flowing wells, and it is the opinion of Governor Downey, Mr. Garey and others that artesian water can be readily secured on a large portion of the land purchased. The surveyor is laying out a town in a central position and about three miles from a well sheltered bay. The Los Angeles and Pacific Railroad Company has been incorporated to build a railroad from the landing, where a wharf will be built, running through Centinela to Los Angeles. There are orange, lemon and lime trees now loaded with fruit, 6,000 orange trees growing in the orchard, 7,000 three-year-old orange trees growing in the nursery, 1,500 Languedoc almond trees just commencing to bear, several hundred other fruit trees, and $50,000 worth of sheep and other personal property. The soil is first rate, water good, landing convenient, market good, and the land dog cheap. Centinela will sell well under the hammer. Here is a chance for those who are looking for homes. Over two hundred shares have already been subscribed for, and I presume all the stock will soon be taken. Persons anxious to join the colony should lose no time in making a personal examination of this property. These lands will be disposed of by the auctioneer, as at Lompoz; to the highest bidder, whether a member of the Association or not. The purchaser of homesteads will pay ten per cent. of the purchase money on the day of sale, and ten per cent. semi-annually thereafter, with interest at ten per cent. per annum until the whole purchase price has been paid. Persons desiring homes on this beautiful ranch should secure stock equal to the value of the land desired, so that if high prices are obtained, as at Lompoz, the dividends on their stock can be applied to their final payments on their homesteads, and reduces the cost to or below the original purchase price by the company. O. L. ABBOTT, Santa Barbara. Parties desiring to visit the land should take steamer from San Francisco to Los Angeles (fare,$12); or fake the Southern Pacific Railroad at San Francisco at 8:10 A.M.
