ROBBERS ON THE HUMBoLDT.-We learn
from some recently arrived emigrants now
in this city, that band of regular organ
lied robbers or bandits for the plumber of
the emigrants, are harboring in the vicin-
ity of the sink of the Humboldt.
The same parties report having lost $50
out Of 500 cattle with which they started ;
some of this number remained fat, while
others died under the same circumstances.
The Japanese, when they are not irrita-
ted, are the mildest and most courteous
and, at the same time, the proudest people
on earth. But if any of them be offended,
nothing but the blood Of the offender can
satiate his revenge; or if he has no oppor-
tunity of procuring that satisfaction, he
kills himself This revengeful spirit ex-
tends even to the women. They, as we'll
as the men, constantly carry dagger in
their girdles, and if necessary use it with
the greatest GOODNESS, when prompted by
revenge, not only against their enemies,
but likewise against their husbands, their
brothers and even against themselves.
The rich Japanese spend their lives in
a continual round of enjoyments but the
pleasures of the table they prefer to all
others. At the entertainments which they
mutually give to one another, they intox-
| icate themselves with a fermented liquor
of which they are excessively fond. When
the fumes begin to ascend into the head,
and overpower the faculties, as much of a
powder as will lie on the point of a knife
dissolved in tea is handed about. One OF
two cups of this liquor is sufficient to dis
pei the intoxication but then the careus-
ing commences anew, and continues unit
the guests again succumb under the effects
Of supersaturatlon.

The LATE MURDER.-The examination
of VIM. Mickle, alias "Cayote Charley"
and Polonio, arrested on suspicion of being
implicated in the murder of the Mexican
Francisco, on the evening Of the 29th of
October, was yesterday commenced before
the Recorder. Two or three witnesses
proved that the deceased had visited a
house on Pacific street at half past one
o'clock that evening, and had exhibited
there quantity of money, over 5000 in
amount, and gold watch and chain, and
that he left the house in company with
Mickle. The next witness was the person
who, attracted by the groans of the wound
ed man in an adjoining room, went IN and
found him dying. The latter being inter
rogated as to who had committed the deed,
replied that it was his friend, whose name
he said was "Pelon." This was all the
information he gave before he erpired.-
The most important testimony was that of
a Mexican youth by the name of jose E.
Vara, whose credibility, however, does not
seem to be of an unquestionable character.
He testifes that after visiting dance
house with Polonio, he separated from him
and went up Pacific street, and thence
along Stockton street, on his way to the
circus. AS he was about entering the
circus, he saw Mickle walking along in
company with a Mexican by the name of
Pelon, and just ahead of them Francisco,
the deceased. He saw Mickle above Pc
lon, and the latter draw knife and stab
Francisco. He says that this occurred at
111a o'clock, which is just four hours later
than the time at which the murder was
committed. 1t was shown, however, that
the officer who arrested the boy told him
that the hour was "half past seven," and
it is possible that the latter's ignorance of
the English language, may have caused
this discrepancy between his statement
and the time at which the deed is proved
to have been committed. There is yet no
testimony duplicating Polono, one of the
arrested parties. The examination Of the
case will be continued to-day .--Herald 10Th.

About Turnips.

Turnips may remain in the field till late.
They are far less injured by the frost than
many are inclined to believe. 1t is very
often the case that turnips are frozen into
the ground, and on the frost breaking up
again in the course of a few days are re-
moved as hard and crisp as before. The
action of the soil neutralizes its effects,
and sometimes a succession Of warm
weather. after a freezing night, adds as
much to the weight and value of the crop
as they gained in twice the time before the
advent Of severe cold. A low temperature
is favorable rather than adverse TO the de-
v%elopment Of the species OF the turnip
tribe. Cabbages grow rapidly in cold
weather; hence the practice so prevalent
at present of allowing them to remain GU,
till snow falls. In packing turnips Of all
kinds, care should be taken to secure them
effsctually against the light and air. The
more perfectly this is accomplished, the
greater will be the certainty Of their keep.
ing well, and the more wholesome and nu.
%tritive will they be found, both for stock
and for table use.-N. E.. Farmer.

~Transplanting Trees.

To succeed well, /. Take them up
carefully without tearing the roots. e.
Dip the roots in mud, which may be mix.
ed for the occasion. 8. Set them out in
very large holes, well filled with rich, mel.
low earth, but not fresh manure. a. Pour
in half a pail Of water, TO settle the earth
round the roots, before the hole is quite
filled. 5. Keep them from whipping about
in the wind, and loosening the roots, by a
stake. 6. Keep the ground as mellow as
an ash heap, by spading or blowing a.
round them for five years afterwards.
Mudding the roots and pouring in the
water are Of great consequence. and have
saved hundreds oftrees from death. Some.
times the latter part OF spring is very dry
and trees suffer; if so. scrape away three
or four inches Of earth, pour in a pail o.
water, and replace the earth.
Nothing can be more absurd than a very
common practice Of providing the roots in
to small holes in hard ground. Bette

agreeable to your request, l will give
an account of our experience in the dairy
business, in regard 10 preserving milk from
becoming sour. We have kept from fifty
to a hundred and fifteen COWS for several
years, and have MIXED seventy the past
season. We strain the milk at night into
a tin vat set in a wooden one, into which
we pump cold water for the purpose ofcool-
ing it. That is kept sweet until morning
with very little trouble, when we strain in
the mornings milk. which is warmed suf.
6ciently by heating the water in the wood
en- val. Thus We proceeded until Satur-
day night, when the milk is set and the
curd made, and made into cheese. Sun.
day morning the milk is strained in wood.
en- bowls, which are painted inside and ou,
with a thick coat Of paint, smooth and
hard, and SET in a cool place on the cellar
floor, where it keeps sweet until Monday
when it is Skinned and made into cheese
The result has been that we have not los
a bowl Of milk for the past summer"
