Of the I'd. The Southern Californian
says:
MORE BUTCHERrNG.-A man by the
name OF jacob fogenack, Polander, was
found shockirgly murdered, on last Satur-
Gay morning, on the road nearly opposite
NIT. Visions residence His head was
very much cut with some sharp instru-
ment, probably swords and from indica-
tions in the vicinity where the deceased
was found, he appeared to have struggled
hard to save life, the fence in several pla.
ces was besmeared with blood, as though
he had attempted to get over.
An inquest was held on the body, and
verdict rendered, that the deceased had
come to his death from blows inflicted on
the head, by some persons unknown.
A man named Philip Alvitre. and an
Indian girl sixteen. years old, have been
arrested for the murder of James Elling-
ton. Alvitre acknowledged that he and
his brother killed him, and afterwards Kill
led Chilean named Gprgona Carrera.-
They had been examined before judge
Hayes and committed for trial. The Sher.
iff has offered reward of $3.50 apiece
dead or al,ve for those Of the murderers
who are still at large.
SUIcIDE.-On The 9th ult., Peter Dia.
bier committed suicide, at Santa Barbara,
by cutting his throat with rszor. 1t is
said he had lived in deranged state of
mind for several days, on account of some
family difficulties.
Los ANGELES SALT WoRKs.-We un-
derstand that the gentlemen interested in
the Salt Works have formed stock COM
pany, with capital Of $4,000. New
and enlarged works, on scale of magni-
tude and durability commensurate with the
gratifying prospects afforded by the un.
dertaklng, are being prosecuted with en-
ergy. 1t is believed that on their compile.
tion, or in one month from this date, the
company will turn out FIVE hundred bush.
els of salt per diem. This being the case,
and there being bat little doubt that it can
be manufactured as cheap as at Syracuse
or elsewhere, we see no reason why this
company should not be able to control the
markets on the Pacific.
Some 500 shares were taken yesterday,
by capitalists.
60 From the Los Angeles Star, we
gather the following items:
TALL CoRN.-The Monte bangs the
world on corn; without rain or irrigation,
crops have been raised that will turn out
one hundred and fifty bushels to the acre
We saw stalks nineteen feet in HEIGHT.
nine or ten feet to the first ear from the
ground, and six monster ears apon the
stalk, to say nothing of the rubbins.
s@- The pioneer train Of Adams L.
Co.'S Express to St. Louis, by way of Salt
Lake, started from Los Angeles on the
1st of November.
FROM THE CoLoxApo.-Mr. VIM. H
Little, just in frorl Fort Yuma. informs us
that all is quiet there. The Yumss have
been working faithfully this season, but
the usual overflow not having taken place,
they Will have scanty crop. Many Sonor-
lars are daily arriving to settle in this
State; the reason they give for leaving is,
that the Apaches are becoming worse than
ever, and have starved them out in their
own country.
1t is said. BY some who arrived the 9TH
er day, that about one thousand Sonor-
!ans would cross in the course of month.
Ofthe American stock trains, Ryan's, Pen
dleton's, Qrish) and Campbell's are still
behind; $4,000 head We're waiting at Sono-
rita to come on, as soon as the boundary
is run. A late account from the emigrant
road, represents that the stock owners
have suffered severely from the Apaches,
on the otter side of Santa Cruz Dunlap
lost all his horses, and Huston, his broth>
er'r.-law, was killed by them.
Beck's train, encamped within half a
mile of Dunlap at the time, lost all their
cattle and horses; Dunlap furnished them
with teams to bring their wagons through.
A party of twenty men, under the COM
mand of Capt. Callahan, went back from
Santa Cruz, attacked the Apaches on the
San Pedro river, killed some thirty Of
them themselves losing a Mexican, their
second Lieutenant, and recovered some
one hundred head of stock, which the In.
dians had stolen from Sonora. The Mex.
leans in the company brought back the
thirty scalps, according to their custom.
Capt Callahan will be here in few
days, expecting to raise a company for the
purpose of going back into Sonora. There
is plenty of water this season on the des-
ert between Warmers Rancho and Colora-
do river. About a mile and a half from
Cooks well, at laguna formed by recent
rains, some one hundred head of cattle,
belonging to John James, died Of poison
they all lie on about two acres of ground /;
they are supposed to have been poisoned
by an herb growing there which has here
tofore killed so many sheep.
School CENsus.-We are informed by
Marshal Cole, who has just completed the
School Census, that there are 6l7 children
in this city, of which 306 are males, and
311 females.
