ARREST FOR KIDNAPPING AND Perjury
We mentioned in our issue of yesterday that
Chinawoman, named All Vow, had been ar
rested in this city for grand larceny, by Con-
stable J. ID. Van Eaton of Placerville, and
that she left in charge of the officer for Fol-
som on the afternoon train. Previous to her
leaving, the alleged husband Of the woman
endeavored, through his counsel, w. R. Can't
well, to obtain writ of habedS corpus and de-
tain his wife. The writ was subsequently,
issued by Judge Robinson, but it being dis
covered that the woman had left on the cars
double team was procured about Z o'clock
on Sunday evening, and officer Frank Hardy,
accompanied by the husband of the woman
and an interpreter, left for Folsom. When
they arrived at Folsom they found that the
woman had been transferred to a buggy and
hurried on to Placerville. Officer Hardy
found, however, the Chinaman (Ah Lee) who
had accompanied her from this city, and
brought him back to town Yesterday on a
charge of kidnapping. All Lee appeared be-
fore Justice Foote about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by his counsel, Sam'l
Gross, 70 give bonds, attended, apparently by
their sureties. The amount of bonds was
fixed at $4,000, and soon thereafter the par
ties left and gave bonds before Justice Cog
gins. The sureties, Chow''Kum and All Long
who are represented by respectable China
men i'll town as net worth a cent, were sui
eequently complained of as guilty of perjury
IN swearing to greater amount of properly
than they were possessed Of. and Chow Kun
was afterwards arrested by officer Hardy
The other defendant was in fair way of be.
ing arrested. We learn that the ease against
the woman was examined yesterday and de-
termined, and that she is now in charge of
her husband We learn by telegraph, since
the above was written upon information de
rived here), that the woman, probably thro
intimidation, was, at her own request, per-
snltted to leave with a woman who claimed
TO be her mother, and that she was subse-
41ently seereted (perhaps murdered) By the
Nhlnese. The fact of the secretion was the
cause OF much comment. 1t was but recently

From Marysville to Sink of Humboldt.


These figures are gained as well from the
windings as the straight places, which allows
the inference that a sruvey, with the view of
opening a road, would reduce the distance 25
or thirty miles, sufficient any how, to make
the direct distance from Marysvile to the
Sink of the Humboldt less than from Placer
vile to the Sink, which is 1T miles, some of
them very long ones. Old settlers say that
the present trail between Downieville and
Carson by way of Sierra Valley, is a great
deal longer than necessary ; and they believe
that any thing like a public road would ma
turally be less by many miles, saying nothing
of what scientific survey would effect.
Mr.. Langton was out in the heavies, snow
storm which has occurred in this region for
several years, and no where encountered
more than two feet of snow. He travelled on
horseback with ease, and is confident that in
any weather he could ride from Carson to
Downieville within few hours.-Sierra CT

EXPERIMENTAL TRIP BY WAY OF THE YUBA
GAP.-S. W. Langton, of the Pioneer Express,
and who is manifesting an active interest in
the Yuba Gap Road project returned last
week from the Utah Valleys passing along
the route which is the only natural crossing
of the mountains and which may be easily
made practicable for wagon and railroad
track. By careful reckoning, he finds the

wards the ship, ran round and round a few times,
and then turned up, An out and head sunwards.
He made 90 barrels Of oil.
The mate and second mate, unable to capture
the other whale, returned to the ship; but that
same afternoon the Parson saw him, or another
fellow like him, and had the pleasure Of fastening
to him also. The three whales made go barrels
Of OIL
In six weeks the Parson saw and struck four
large and twelve school whales, and mover missed
one This uniform success induced the captain
to give him charge of the third mates boat, in
which he killed some half dozen whales when he
had threeof his ribs stove 10, and was sent ashore
at Guam to procure medical attendance, and re-
mained there six months
Whaling is not unlike war-every lowering is
battle in which all are liable to lose their lives.
But the whaler requires more skill and courage
than the soldier or man-of.war's man. He must
think and act at the same tihe-there are no given
rules by which he can govern himself, for every
whale he attacks Is apt to show some new caper,
against which he must provide on the instant
Our whalemen, with q little martial training,
would make the most formidable sailors in the
world, as they are certainly the most intelligent
and daring.

ha Culture Of the Tomato.
Tomatoes have become so extensively cul-
tivated, and so nearly indispensable in every
family, that a few words upon their cultiva-
tion may not be out Of place, though too
late for this seasons use. In order to get
early fruit, and prolong the season Of its
enjoyment as long as possible, plants should
bestarted quite early. The hot bed is alsost
indispensable in growing early tomatoes,
though they can be grown in the windows.
1t requires about certain length of time to
get fruit, whether the plrnts aregrown under
glass or in the open air--not far from four
months from the sowing Of the seed to the
ripening Of the fruit in favorable seasons
| usually sow box or pot with seed in Feb.
ruary, and place is in window where it can
have the benefit of the sun most of the day.
When my hot-bed is ready, | transplant to
that, and, when the weather gets settled,
from thence to cold frame; by so doing,
my plants form an abundance of roots, and
become stocky and hardy, and when re-
move them to'the open ground they grow
without check.
Now as to the final transplanting, this is
the way do: Itrim each plant of good
share Of its leaves; set it carefully with as
much dirt adhering to its roots as possible,
and finally tie each to a small stake with a
single rye or oat straw, which protects them
from being blown to and froand beaten down
by wind or rain.
The soil most congenial to the tomato is q
sandy loan. have seen poor soil advo-
Gated, but ! have grown my best fruit upon
rich one. Grown upon a rich SOIL close
pruning should be practised, as the vines
grow so luxuriant as to shade the fruit too
much. The ripening Of the fruit can be
FASTENED a full week or more by early pinch.
ing and pruning. Plants should not be set
nearer than four by four feet, and the space
in the last row set should have a plant oppo.
site it in the next prefer the large Red to
all other varieties.
Saw-dust scattered under the plants, is a
good mulch, and keeps the fruit clean; brush
is also good for the latter purpose.
To keep fruit as long as possible before
the autumn irosts come, cut off branches con-
tanning full grown green fruit, tie in bunches,
and hing in dark and dry cellar. When
wanted for use, hang in the sun for few
days, when the fruit will ripen.

The following anecdOte, hitherto unpublished,
we believe, is related Of Father Pi.lsbury, whose
memory is revered by wide circle Of Christians
in the State Of Maine.
Father Pillsbury had a neighbor, who persisted
in having argument with him in favor Of human
perfection. ti-i sI1sis lea

conducting stranger, whom, with an air Of tri-

narrowing Shsat In ths spring.
The treatment Of fall sown wheat at the
present time should be well attended TO, as
much Of the success of that crop depends
upon il. Harrow with double Scotch har-
row, lengthwise Of the drills, and then roll it.
I again harrow crosswise of the drill, and
again roll it. Rye treat in the same way.
u have just finished my crops of both as
iabove.) This treatment assists the tillering
of the plants. When the plants are too thick,
IL should be repeated three or four times, and
where they are thin, by the loosening Of the
soil, it makes stronger plants. Why is it
that those two crops do not require the soil
stirred as well as any otherl After lay ing
all the fall and winter, the ground becomes
perfect crust, and It is admitted by all that
20 succeed in raising good crop you must
keep the ground constantly stirred. No
crop will succeed where the grourd is allowed
to become crusty and hard on top; neither
will wheat or rye. Whether Il will pay to
purchase harrow and roller for the express
purpose Of cnltivating wheat, must depend
upon the number Of acres that there is to
work; but am prepared to say that no we'll
managed farm, from twenty-five acres up
wards, should be without aroller, (woodsn
or iron) and ct least cne heavy and one light
harrow. They cost little at first, but they
will soon pay for themselves, and they can
always be used to advantage when on hand
Aroller. for instance, applied on field Of
young clover that has been pretty wen frozc
out, will settle the earth to the roots. This
saving of crop would pay for the roller.
Wheat land should get out one blowing
and one narrowing before seeding, except
where the land is a very heavy strong clay
in this case it may require cross-plOwing,
narrowing and rolling. lf lumpy, the winter
frOsts and thawing will reduce them, and by
narrowing and rolling in the spring you make
level surface, so that you can cut with a
rcaPing machine, which, by the bye, you will
find cheaper than the cradle or scythe, and
decidedly better.
Limo is an essential manure for wheat, and
should be applied before sowing, as follows
when plowed. spread your lime from the
carts, and harrow in lightly, just covering it
as thin as you would grass seeds The lime
should be kept well on the surface; it will
itself work down to the subsoil. By plow-
ing light the following wear. YOU again bring

or sward or clover plowed in in July and
August, and getting suficiency of lime.
This the bestpreparation for wheat. When
a light harrow is not at hand, use the seed
drill. You can adjust the drills to penetrate
between the rows an inch deep, which will
answer all purposes. aaisea

Any kind of rose will root freely from
cuttings If put in little heat, and the right
kind of shoots selected. A hotbed is about
the most exciting of all means for roofing
cuttings, but the warm end of greenhouse,
and JUST over the aue, will do. We prefer
roofing our cuttings of all kinds in pure sand,
using no soil whatever until the slips are
perfect plants. tD-5 f4n
The Tea, China and Bourbon Roses will
strike readily enough, if cut under any joint,
while the Mcsses, June, and Hybrid Perpet.
uals, which, though not so sure under an or
dinary joint, win generally root, and are
certain II selected with heel. If the tenn
perature they are to be struck in is somewhat
cool, say often under so Q half ripened wood
should be used, or that just after the flower
has dropped; but if co. and over can be
commanded, then quite new wood will root
freely. Any rose now in pot, and having
shoots which are too weak to produce flow
ers or shoots that require cutting out to give
room to others, may, on the above principles,
be converted into plants and who ever has
too many roses Use a piece of glass to
cover over the cuttings until rooted.
The value of cabbages for dairy stock, and
also for breeding stock. and cattle that are
being iattened, Is not sufficiently appreciated.
