SANTA CLARA, Marc!) 4. 1352. JOHN M. PU.MROV, Esq.— Dear l'riend: — A full \ year has elapsed since 1 left my native home I amongiliemouutainsof Pennsylvania. Strange, I but true, here 1 am in the land of golden dreams. : Many have been the changes since leaving my i childhoods home in your county. My mind is ! predisposed to hold converse witli the past, and tiring up obi associations with a desire to live i them over again. But enuugh as to this, and forthwith proceed to give you some incidents of California life, climate, &c. You no doubt have long since heard of mv lo- ' cation in tlu> valley, beautiful beyond descrip- j lion. Santa Clara valley is not to be excelled in | the world for beauty and natural advantages. 1 i have visited the far famed Wyoming of your j own State, and the great valiev of Virginia, j with many other valnes of fame. They were j beautiful, it is true, and their associations were j of great interest to me, but this beautiful spot } of creation, a kind of second Italy, is like a | lonely flower garden never culled. Our plains j stretch away in the distance for miles upon ! miies, say one hundred or mort in length, and from ten to thirty in breadth. Wild flowers of every hue meet the eye in almost every direc tion, and Ibis too, as you Atlantic folk-- say, in the midst of winter. Here we have no winter, but a perpetual summer. 'The soil is of a very | superior nature, and wheat, bai ley, oats and ve- ' getables of every description will grow and j yield astoni-hingly. To write the whole truth, ! v. hat 1 have seen and know, would not be cred- | ited, and so 1 shall say but little. Thousands of ' acres are now in small grain and bid fair for a I heavy crop. Our donate is the most pleasant j in the world, and said to be very healthy. You i know I was haif dead with dyspepsia for several i years before coming here—vvelf, I have never I enjoyed better health than 1 do now. The | Lord's name be praised for it. Jam frequently , asked if 1 would advise my friends to come to : California. Those who enjoy gocl health in ■ the Atlantic country, and are in easy circum- j stances, 1 would advise to stay where they are, j but those in feeble health 1 would advise by all ' means to come, and the sooner the better. 1 would advise tiiose just commencing the world, ; instead of going lothe west, to come here. It is a rare instance for a person to make a fortune in a fevv months, and none should come with any such calculations. It is a grand mistake for persons corning to this country to leave their families behind. If they come here, let them bring their wives and children, with the under standing that they w ill make this their perma nent home, and if they are industrious and eco nomical, there is no doubt but in ten years or less time they will be rich enough. Thousands, it is true, come here and fail in everything; but these very persons, it must be borne in mind, faiied in everything before they caine to Califor nia. California will not make sober men out of drunkards, but in a thousand instances the re verse. It w ill not make saving, managing men out of spendthrifts ; hut give her a fair chance, with good honest men. and they will do much better than in your country. Mrs. Maclay and myself, with our little son, enjoy ourselves very much. I could not think of returning to the States to live. We are in the midst of a glorious revival of religion in this place. A number have been converted within the past few days. Our first college building in this place, and the first in the State, is under roof, and looks well. 1 have my church nearly finished. It is a neat building—forty by fifty feet. Truly yours, CHARLES MACLAY.

Premature Rurial, The Albany Register, in the course of an article on this subject, relates the fol lowing instance, of which the Editor was perfoctlv cognizant; Some years ago, we were perfectly cog nizant to an occurrence of this kind, which was of llic oost heart-rending character. The wife ot a gentleman was taken suddenly ill in church, and was car lied to her home in a state of syncope. a few hours she partially recovered, but iuintediait ly relapsed, and never again showed any siens of consciousness. She lay in this condition nearly two days, baf llirig the skill of the physicians, and then, as it was thought, and as there was almost every reason to believe, died. No signs of breathing could be detected, the liinl* became rigid and cold, and the eyes re mained open, with the fixed and glossy stare of death ; but there teas no change iii the color of the shin. This was the only reason in the world for supposing that dissolution had not taken place. The poor bereaved husband, almost frantic at the loss of his young and beautiful wife whom he almost idolized, clung with des i peration to the hope limned in Iter face, j and long resisted the unanimous decision of the physicians, that she was certainly dead. They told him what is doubtless true, that it sometimes, though very rarely, happens, that there is no discoloration for days nor even weeks after dissolution has taken place. But still lie resisted, and it was not until three days had passed, with out the faintest signal of change or sign of life, that he finally gave up and suffered the burial to take place. She was en tombed in a vault. Months passed. A cemetery iiaving been laid out, the husband purchased and beautified a lot, erected an i elegant monument in it, and when all was ; ready, superintended the removal of the I body of his wife from the vault to its final j resting-place. When the vault wasopeued he remembered the circumstances of her • death, above detailed, and a desire seized hiin to once more behold die corpse. Bv i his direction the coffin-lid was removed, j The spectacle which presented iiself was ' inconceivably horrible, for it showed that : she had been buried alive. She had I turned quite over upon her side; she had clutched her nails into the coffin until her lingers had bled, portions of her grave cloths were torn, and in Iter horrible struggles she had contrived to carrv her hand to her head, and had plucked irons it a mass of hair, with portions of the cap that covered it ! The poor man never re covered from the., shook of that awful spectacle, lie was borne away senseless, and for the rest of his weary life was an utterly broken and miserable being.
