The number includes about half men, the remainder women and children. The number of persons who have returned of late is very small, probably not one in ten of the number leaving. A number of farms have changed hands at extremely low prices, and houses can be had this spring at low rent. Several families are to start for California from Lancaster the first of coming week, among them Mrs. TEIL, W. H. GRIFFIN, Mrs. MORRISON and James BARNETT, with their families and several men who will go with them.
