AROTTT WEEDS.

Do you ask where the weeds are! Sorry
TO say, in your plowed fields, your meadows
and pastures, and garden. See right IN
plain sight, in yonder pasture, thistles flour
ish bravcly, both the native American and
the foreigner, mullens, docks, white daisies,
.Tohnsyort and what not, Haven't time to
grub them up? Perhaps you have't time
TO exterminate them all root and branch, in
one year; but you can make beginning on
them Every farmer ought to feel little
ashamed, or at least uneasy, if he is not
gaining some headway against this invading
army He ought to be able to say, at the
end of every season, that he owns more free
territory than he did at the beginning. And
if he cannot root out all the weeds in one
year, or two years, he ought to exterminate
some of them, and let none go to seed.
Did you ever stop and think what gross
feeders these invaders are? They carry
off yearly great deal of nourishment which
ought to have been saved for the benefit OF
your wheat, corn, potatoes, and the ike
Thirty or forty dollars worth is annually lost
on some farms that we know of Lost, and
worse than lost. How these farmers would
murmur against Providence, if food, hail
storm, or drouth, caused them loss of half
the amount But they take the damage
from their own carelessness very quietly.
Now, let us speak word in season. Grub
up at once, the roots of every weed you can
find time for; and if you can not kill all,
be sure to prevent their ripening seed,
Set that down as rule never to be violated.
Now in this very month of August, when
every growing thing is fastening to matu-
rity, make an onslaught upon the barbarians.
Heap high your trophies on the battle
field and ere long fire them, and offer them
up as a sacrifice to Ceres. 1t will please
the old heathen mightiiy.-A",. -Agric"h

ASSAULT AND BATTEBY-GREAr EXCITE
MENr.-We find the following in yesterday S
Uniom: The usual quiet ri of Second street
was suddenly disturbed about 6 o'clock last
evening by an encounter between T. A.
Mitchell, a Mormon Elder, and II. L. Ruby. Il
resident of Cashe Creek, Yolo county. Ac.
cording to the most reliable information we
could procure, the following is correct yer.
sion of the circumstances
Mitchell, several weeks since, being on
missionary duty on Cashe Creek, succeeded
in inducing female relative of Ruby to cor
sent to embrace MOI monism, leave California
and proceed to Salt Lake On being ad-
vised of the fact, Ruby gave Mitchell good
tireshing, and warned him never to appear
about his premises again. The Injunction
seems to have been unmeeded, inasmuch as
Mitchell has visited his new convert since.
and confirmed her in her former resolution.
Ihe fact was learned recently by Ruby, and
While the latter, last evening, was hitching
his horse in front of the Union Hotel, on Sec
ond street. Ruby assaulted him with n cane
lacerating bis tace, aud literally wearing the
cane into threads upon his person. The as
sailed retreated percipitatelv, shouting mur-
der the while, and although citizen inter
fered and restrained the assailant, the victim
could find no sympathy in the crowd assem-
bled Mitchell very soon mounted his horse
and proceeded up X street amidst the .eers OF
many of the spectators
E. l.. Brown, more famliarly known as
Judge Brown, also a resident on Cache
Greek, and an intimate friend of Mitchell.
soon thereafter went into the Union" in
search of Ruby and finding him, proceeded
to assault him.
Ruby and Brown were arrested by Mr..
Haswell, Lieutenant of Police, and conducted
to the Station House. 1t is rulnored that

eral Mormon Elders including Mitchell con-
template leaving for Salt Lake to-day or to-

given by the owners of the steamer Indian
Empire, on board that vessel, in colnmemo-
ration of the successful starting of the new
line of steamers between New York and Gal

military, the press, tie clergy, and citizens
generally, were represented, and speeches
were made by Captain Courtnay, Pliny Miles,
Captain Marshall Thomas Francis Meagher,
Captains Coleman and Comstock General
Hall, Rev. d. Lawyer, and Others Much
enthusiasm prevailed. The line is proposed
to consist of six steamers, of which there are
now ut the Indian Empire-the latter a
comparatively new Clyde built steamer, Mr..

early one from some thirty vessels which

REvENGE.-At the Hotel, Conn, on the
22d of July, a good-looking lass, of some
twenty summers, named Mary Sheridan, at
tempted to cut the throat Of her false lover,
james Martin, with razor She had seen
or heard something to open her eyes to the
fact that her gallant was an imposter, who
had a wife aud children elsewhere. So she
determined to revenge herself, and watching
from her window, enticed Martin, who was
passing the hotel, to come in and up into II
porters room. Here, on pretence of loosen
ing his cravat for him, which she said was
TOO tight, the desperate girl gained an Oppor-
tunity to cut a big cash in his throat with a
razor 1t missed the artery and Martin es-
capped from her with liberal loss Of blood
and how he managed t, do so was the won
der of at least a dozen physicians. Martin
will hereafter take care who he permits to
