l.etter from California*
The following extract of a letter from Rev. I
Charles Maclav, a missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in California, wili bo read
with interest by his numerous friends in this .
county : — Clitiinbersburg Valley Spirit.
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.
