California Land Claims.
We present to our readers to-day the most important report of the proceedings in the land
cases entered iu tbe United States District" Court
for tbe Southern District of California, which bas
ever yet been given. It is a full and correct report of every case that has been docketed, from
tbe organization ofthe Court, with the action had
thereon, down to the close of the late term on Friday, tbe 16th inst.
Tho importance of this document is at once apparent; and it may be relied on, aa it has been
compiled witb the greatest care, and afterwards
compared and revised—no expense or trouble having been spared to make it complete and thoroughly reliable.
To make our report explicit, we have designated the ca^es- under two general headings. The
first is a list of all cases confirmed in the U. S.
District Court. In each of these, an- appeal was
taken to tbe U, S. Supreme Court; in many, those
appeals have been finally'dismissed by the II. S.
Attorney Grcneral—they are marked A. D.
The second list consists, generally, of cases
pending before the Court; those submitted but
notdecid'd are so designated ; also, Btich.as have
been stricken from the docket, or transferred to
the Northern District—all of which are appropriately marked, so that -the condition of each case
can be ascertained al, a glance.
To give an idea ofthe amount ol labor required
to prepare this document, wc may state, that it is
a correct condensation of the contents of the
Docket Book, the Minute aud Decree Books ofthe
Court—from its organization to the present  d.iy.
Lint ofLwlC.-iKoy confirmed iu the U. S. District Court

Tlie Sraltli Family nt Nauvoo.
A  correspondent  of the Missouri  Republican
:ites  that  last summer he was at Nauvoo, and
conversed  with   Mr. Bitoman, who is married to
Joe Smith's widow.   He says :
I sat at tho table with the family, consisting of
Bitoman and his wife, and ihreesons of'Joc Smith,
fhe eldest about twenty-three or twenty-four ; the
second about' twenty ) the third a lad ol some
twelve or thirteen years. From Mr. Bitoman F
learned that not one ofthe family believed iu
Mormonism, and that his wife—formerly Mrs.
Smith—had always been opposed to tbem, as well
as the boys. I was told that Joe Smith prophc-
cied, some two years before this lau'was born, that
a son was to be born to him at or about a certain
time; that at the time stated his wife did give
birth to a son. At that time, ho also stated that
his son's name would be David (not Joe), and tbat
is the name of the lad, for I heard him answer to
it, Joe also said that bis mantle 'M* greatness and
prophecy would fall upon bis son and lineal heir,
David, who he stated would be as wise and powerful aa David of old. The fact of the birth of this
child, following according to Joe's prophecy,
strengthened tbe belief that bad already so strong
a hold upon his followers. Mrs. Bitomatl'is a
masculine, intelligent looking lady, ot iorty-fivc
or forty-seven - years.   She   ia a native of New
York. 	
She ha3 a splendid farm some four miles from
Nauvoo. which is managed by her two eldest sous,
while David goes to school. About the two eldest
there is nothing remarkable to be seen. They are
intelligent nun, of large si*se, but have nothing
in their appearance betokening them to be prophets, or "sous of a prophet," To their mother
they are said to be very kind, and much attached.
David is an-uncommonly intelligent lad, of
massive eyes. His step-father intimated that he
cares as little about Mormons and Mormonism, as
one that never neard the names, notwithstanding
that thousands of the followers of his father believe
him to be the great high priest, a prophet and
teer, (in embry)etc. He^knows thatthey worship
his name equal to that of Jesus Christ j and yet, I
am told, the lad is too intelligent to allow it to
make any impression upon aim. Probably tbe
fact of all the family being unbelievers iu it is tbe
cause.
The following incident! learned from a gentleman residing at Nauvoo: That when Joe was
killed iu the jail, some fifteen miles from his home,
his wife and son took possession of his body, aud
to prevent the rabble from getting it, they raised
the floor ofthe dining room, and, digging a grave,
buried his remains there, where they still remain
The story, whether true or not, is generally believed iu Nauvoo.
Purchase or Sonora.—A Californian now ir
New York, who has visited Washington City
writes as follows:
There are parties of ir.flucnoe from California
and Arizona now at Washington, urging the purchase by our Government of the State of Sonora,
Mexico, and there is no doubt that the Administration will buy it, Negotiations are now progressing with that view. I know that Mexico has proposed to sell, for that country is of no use to her,
it being overrun by tbe Apache and other Indians,
who are a terror to tbe inhabitants ; and however
the troubles in that distracted couutry may terminate, tbe Government, if any be established at
,.n. will noDa o-'a must nave money*. Tiie parttrf
urging this matter want Guajmas asa port of entry, (or without it Arizona and the adjacent country will be of comparatively little value. They
expect to get as far down as the 28th parallel, taking in a part of Siualoa.
A Peculiar Sort op Witness.—-Tho trinity
Journal says that a Shasta Notary, taking testi
mony in a case lately, found the person wonderfully
uncommunicative. He did'ut know whom he voted for, or where be was born, or whether regularly
born at all. All he Could say. positively, waa that
he had a mother, and that she instructed him
to tell the truth. In his report of testimony to
a Court in that county, the Notary got aggravated and added :   .
" And I further certify, that this man is the
most ignorant d—d fool of a witness that I ever
had anything to do with, in any court of justice
in the whole course of my life. In testimony
whereof I have hereunto affixed the seal of my
office."

A Sensible Girl.—At a late ball in Baltimore,
a gentleman (probably ono of the codfish aristocracy), having danced with a young lady whose attractions, both personal and conversational, so emeu
to have made an impression on his sensibilities,
asked to have the pleasure of seeing her on the
following evening..
"Why, no sir," replied the fair one, "I shall
be engaged on to-morrow evening; but I'll tell
you wben you can sec me."
" I shall be most happy," exclaimed thostrickeu
swain.
"Well, on Saturday, resumed the lady, "you
can see me at the foot of Marsh's market, selling
cabbage!'''
"Where did he goto?"—In a certain hotel iu
this village, there is a bar-tender, who is iu the
habit of taking hie "tod" pretty freely, but always makes it a point never to drink in the

he was in the act of drawing his " tod" preparatory to taking a drink, the employer came into
the room rather unexpectedly. Finding himself
caught in the act, be set the tumbler and its contents on the counter and casting his eyes round

How January 1st Cume to l)» Ntw Year's I)ny»
A writer in the National hiicl/igericcr reminds us that we do not now celebrate New Year's
on the day our fathers did ; ou the contrary, that
little more than a century ago that festival fell
on the 25th of March throughout tlie British do-"
millions.
The alteration was made in the 24th year of tho
reign of George II.. which will appear by the foi-.

of the graveyard fence, with a half frightened,

be, standing beside the open grave, who have,
love and memory busy in their hearts and they
can weep—the rest are silent. They lower tho
coffin into tho damp, dark grave ; some one betida
forward arid the first sods rattle down with a
sharp, pittiless sound. They shudder and look
up at the cloudy sky, as if they feared to see a

laid upon it-—ths procession passes slowly from
