Col, BAKER IN THE INTERIoR.-The Sonora
Herald says that Col. Z. d. Baker, of this
city, has lately been defending Oiphant, who
was on trial for murder and by his eloquent
appeal brought tears into the eyes of all in
the Court room, including the jury. We can
well believe it. For consummate art in rea-
ching the sympathies of his hearers, Mr.. Ba-
ker has no equal on the Pacific coast, and
few if any in America. His eloquence is oil
the highest order, and addresses itself to
the hearts as well as to the understandings Of
his audience. His powers of imagery, and Of
imparting splendor of cooring to his subject
is indeed masterly. Had Edward Everett
given utterance to the Grafton delivered by
Mr.. Baker at the cable celebration in this
city, it would have been copied all over the
country as one of the most gorgeous emana-
tions from the 'golden-mouthed orator" As
it is the effort will pass into obscurity as one
of a thousand occasional speeches, adapted to
the occasion for which they We're pre- pared
and of no further moment.-& f. Times.
True enough, and yet that speech ought to
immortalize its author.

The assassin was found with his hands bound
behind him, his face and neck completely
clotted with blood having been severely
beaten by his leaptors. A partner or COM
panion of the latter Indian was also sitting,
bound, in the midst of the camp. BY direc-
tion of the officers, parties in the neighbor-
hood procured a plank, upon which the
wounded Indian was placed and carried to
the Station House the other Indians as was
also the assassin, his partner assisting The
wounded party, Captain Harry, resident of
Fremont, was subsequently attended by DR..
Simmons, and afterwards removed to the

not severely injured externally, was deemed
dead drunk or playing possum. '-Sdc. U's-

ALFALFA-On the outside of this paper
will be found an article in reference to this
kind of grass. The time is fast approaching
when all land suitable for grazing in this
country will be under fence, and it stands
those in hand who expect to engage in the
business of cattle-raising, to find out the best
kind Of grass to raise for pasture We think
that Alfalfa will be found to be tie thing
1t has not been sufficiently tested in this
county to speak certainly Of its success, but
we are Of opinion that any land that will
produce wild oats will raise alfalfa. One
thing is certain if it will live over the first
summer there is no doubt of its success. We
tried very small patch of it last summer,
and it has the appearance of dong well /;
the ground was very dry and sandy; the
seed being very old, it did not come up well /;
but that which came up took deep root, and
will, no doubt, next year cover the ground.
Our advice is to farmers in Tehama county,
to try it. The whole bottom. opposite this

kGDNAPPTNG.-Some days ago, a rarchmar
named Edward Lee, on returning from visit
to neighboring farm, discovered that his
wife had disappeared, carrying with her theil
little child. A man named Manuel jackson
and his wife, both Of whom had been aeon
modated with lodging and board at Mr.. Lee.
house for the last year, had also disappeared
and with them another Spaniard named Jose
Hogor who had been an inmate of Lees
house for the past two years From various
circumstances prominent among which is the
fact of Mr. and Mrs. Lee having lived togeth
er in the most perfect happiness for fifteen
years, the husband concluded she must have
been kidnapped, or else that Jose Hogor, with
the cooperation of the JacksOns had wrought
upon his wife's mind in some weak moment
and influenced her by threats of coercion OF
otherwise, to abapnon her happy home. Ac
cordingly Mr. Lee came over to this city and
left information of the same at the Police
Court, This morning, at half past ten, off
GERS Bald win and Rose, accompanied by Mr.
L., went to a room which they found out was

been ascertained. If the parties are really
