TROUBLE WITH THE iNDIANs.-
The Indians at the back of the Sugar
Loaf have being doing considerable
within a day or two past,
among themselves and the whites.
Several Yuba Indians originated the
difficulty, it is stated, by shooting
some Of the squaws of the tribe in
this neighborhood On Sunday last,
towards night, the chief Of the tribe
attempted to Kill one Of the Yuba r.
dians, who ran to miner to protect
him. The Indians pulled him away,
and the chief shot him twice with
arrows, KILN. him, On the same
evening, an arrow was shot into the
cabin of Mr.. Poore, living in the
neighborhood, passing into his back
between the shoulder blades The
same night several valuable horses be
longing to Shepherds ranch were shot
with arrows, SO as to kill them, or rem
der them so useless that they had tc
be killed when found in the morning
The usual occupant of tho cabin, al
this ranch, Mr. Laughton, happened
to be absent to the city for the night
This cabin the Indians entered anC
ransacked nost thoroughly, stealing no
thing, but making general confusion
Ihe Indians say the reason Of these
transactions ON their part, was a wish tc
embroil the whites and Yuba Indians
supposing that these acts would bt
ascribed TO the Yubas. Dr. Clark ex
tracted the arrow from the wound o
Mr.. Poore, and reports him out oI
danger. A party Of seventy mer
went on Tuesday in search of the In
dams connected with these outrages
swearing vengeance on the whole race
if the guilty are not given up TO them

CoSFusroy or ToNGUEs.--A strange
case occurred few days ago in the
Mayors Court, illustrating the very
Heterogeneous character Of our popula-
ton A Spaniard had assaulted Tar
tar named kongshee; but as kongshee
coald neither speak English nor any of
his witnesses, it was impossible for some
time, to proceed; at last, another Tartar
named A.larmb, was found. who could
speak the Chinese language, and after
some trouble Chinese who could spcak
Spani h. Whereupon, the trial COM
menced; but, as the Tartars and Ce-
lestials seemed to have very imperfect
idea Of oaths, and penalty of perjury,
the next which arose was to ascertain
their method of swearing, which it
seems is by a lighted candle held up
towards the sun. The Court then swore
Mr.. Lovett as Spanish ana English in
terpreter, who then swore Arghat as
| Spanish and Chinese Interpreter, who
in turn swore Arlamb by the burning
candle and sun as Chinese and Tartar
interpreter, and the trial proceeded. and
was well conducted in four different
languages After full hearing, the
Court ordered the defendant to pay a
fine Of S25, which he did, and was dis.
charged. San Jose Visitor. 2la inst.

DISTRICT JuDGE,-The Session of the
District Court for the 10th Judicial
District, closed in this city on Saturday
32nd inst, after the disposa OF large
amount Of business of an important ma.
ture. The sitting Judge, Lewis Aldricb,
Esq, Of Sacramento. has won golden
opinions from all who have been brought
in connection with him, in the discharge
Of his official duties. His uIbanity to
all parties, joined to his correct views of
law, and soundness of judgment, have
won respect and regard Of a permanent
nature, and we are aware of no Judge
of whom we have ever heard such con-
curing expressions Of appreciation and
esteem as we have of Judge Aldrich.

FARMING PRosprcrs ON DRY

FARMING PROSPECTS ON DRY
CREEK.-Thcre is large tract of
land bordering on Dry Greek, about
midway between Cosumnes and Mo
kolumne rivers, which is rapidly being
settled and cultivated. A large por-
ton Of this land is claimed under a
supposed Mexican graft, but the
grantee has not taken possession, and
settlers are proceeding with their i'm
provements, believing their possessory
rights will be sustained. For ten or
twelve miles up and down the creek
all the land is taken up, generally in
tracts Of l60 acres. Fencing is going
on very rapidly, the timber used being
oak. This kind of timber grows to Il
large size, and is well formed. in the
portion Of country above referred to.
A good tree will make hundred rails.
There are at least fifty houses already
erected within the space we have de
scribed, and quite number OF families
are now living there. A school house
is nearly completed near where four
or five families reside, which will be
ready for opening school in q few
days There will be ten or twelve
scholars to commence with.
The settlers are preparing to raise
large crops Of oats, barley and vege,
tables another season. Thus the coun-
try is becoming settled. When one
travels in the interior, he finds pros
porous townships and well cultivated
fields, where he looked for desolation
and sterility 1t is almost impossible
for our minds to keep pace with the
