How TO SELECT Flour Il. Look at its
color; if it is white, with slightly yel-
lowish or straw colored tint, it is good sign.
If it is very white, with blush cast, or with
black speeks in it, the -four is not good. 2.
Examine its adhesiveness wet and spread a
little of il between the fingers. if work dry
and elastic, it is good, if it works soft and
sticky it is poor. Flour made from spring
wheat is likely to be sticky. 8. Throw a
lump of dry -four against dry, smooth, per-
pendicular surface if it adheres in lump,
the -four has life in it, if it falls like powder
it is bad. 8 Squeeze some Of the -four in
your hand, if it retains the shape given it by
the pressure. that too is a good sign Flour
that will stand all these tests it is safe to buy
These modes were given by old -four dealers,
and we make no apology for printing them,
as they pertain to matter that concerns
every body namely the quality Of which is

COL. CRABB AND THE SONORA
EXPEDITION.

Of the fate of the unfortunate expedition to
Sonora, under Col Crabb, our very full
intelligence. published from time to time,
leaves very little to be said. Anything,
however, that serves to throw light upon its
object, or upon the life and character of any
one of its members, especially of its respon-
sible leader, is still of interest to our readers,
| in whose midst venerable mother of Col
Crabb and beloved sister, as well as hume
rous friends apd acquaintanees, have home,
Among other documents in reference
thereto, we have before US, by the last Cali
fornia mail, private letter addressed to a
gentleman of this city, which contains much
information of interest From it we learn
that, soon after his emigration to California,
Col Crabb married into large family by the
name of Ainsa, originally from Sonora, hav-
ing fed thence because of political dlssen-
sions in the State, and setteld in Stockton !:
Mr.. A. had eight daughters and four sons:
Some two years since the eldest son returned
to Sonora and, having married his cousin. who
belonged to one of the dominant factions there
secured his fathers confscated estates Soon
after, Crabb, with his wife. paid his brother
in-law visit, and while there was urged to
return to California, assemble about 400 men
and with them come and settle on the
frontier and protect them from the Indians,
whom the Mexican Government had allowed
to completely devastate the country. They
also wished in time, to declare themselves
independent of that country. These people
belonged to the better class; there was an
other in Sonora, who just managed to live
on in their misery and in constant quarrels
with each other -ss ... ~. Il
Crabb went down with one hundred men.
He had the promise of more when he reached
the frontier, besides those who went round BY
sea. As soon az they entered CaTorca. they
we're met by enemies and betrayed by their
own friends The fight began, and I leave
yoa to read the sicksning details z ] ! cannot N

brothers-in-law and husband all murdered
I saw her yesterday ; she looked like corpse.
One brother-in.law is left, Mr.. Taliferro,
a Virginian, an elegant gentleman, who
would have been With Crabb, he'd it not been
for his wifs's i'll health. He tells me the
family are almost entirely dependent upon
his exertions 1t consist of eight daughters,
three of them widows, young son at school,
an old father and paralysed mother, but
highly intelligent. She is, indeed, one of
the uoblcst women I ever knew with piety
and resignation it is wonderful to behold. :,
This simple narrative throws aood Of
light upon the origin of this unfortunate expe-
dition, whatever may have afterwards be-
come it's object and character. It would
seem certain, however from other equally
reliable papers before us, that Col. Crsbb was
deceived and betrayed by those who, preten-
ding to be his friends, had invited him to
