The Missing Man.

HUMBuG CITY, February IA.
EDITOR PREss :-Yon are aware that Mr..
Perfume, an Italian merchant of this city,
started on foot for Marysville on the 10th of
last month, accompanied 10y his ever faithful
dog, and reached point two miles below
French Corral, where his dog was subse
-duentiy seen by the roadside in a wounded
condition. After an interval of several days
the report reached our city of the dog hav
ing been seen as above stated which at once
excited the belief that his master had been
most foully murdered. A number of our cit
izens started the next morning for the point
designated and found the dog on their way
at French Corral, being noticed the night
previous in weak, disabled condition, hav-
ing evidently stayed with his master or near
him until the cravings of hunger compelled
him to desist Searching the ground, and
Perfumes coat hat, shoes. and small package
of bread were found in a shaft, covered with
brush and bearing marks of blood. Within
close proximity another shaft was found con-
tanning water, but having no appliances at
hand it could not be fathomed, but this shaft
evidently contains the body. That most
foul and bloody murder has been committed,
is beyond all question but who did the
deed or anything further relating thereto.
will probably forever remain a mystery.
Nothing further has been done in the matter
By our citizens, owing to the disinterested-
ness of his immediate friends and relatives,
whose hearts are of stone, or else the an
guish of that poor widow would soften them.
His relatives or those of the family at once
moved his effects to Nevada, while his body
lies in the bottom of a shaft neglected, un-
cared for and probably forgotten Comment
is unnecessary Yours, &C., IL. b.
We publish the above communication with
a view, if the facts are as stated by our cor
respondent, and we have no reason to doubt
them, that those who are concerned in the
matter may be stimulated to the performance
of their duty. 1t is strange that search has
not been made by the authorities for the
body of Perfume or for some clue to his death.
If the facts are properly reported to the Cor
oner, or to Justice of the Peace. either Of
those officers will no doubt proceed to an
immediate investigation of the mystery

A full confession has been made by the
negro boy Nose, arrested on suspicion Of
being concerned in the murder of Captain
Bilman. He states that on Saturday night
he met John and NJ. p Kelly, brothers, the
former messenger in the Custom House, and
the latter employed by Oliver, Flanagan d
Co., at the corner of Broadway and Dupont
streets, by appointment, and accompanied
them to Billman's residence. John Kelly
knocked Mt the door, and, as Billman turned
to get light, NJ. P. Kelly struck him with a
dray stick, and continued to beat him till
dead. The Kellys are now in Jail. The
boy asserted that John Kelly has been in the
habit of having criminal intercourse with
Mrs Billman. lie was the go-between, and
says Kelly once offered him n thousand dol
lars to poison Billman, but he refused. John
Kelly acknowledged the fact Of having held
criminal intercourse with Mrs Billman, but
denies the murder
Letters from Mrs. Billman were found on
his possession. NJ. P. Kelly acknowledges
having met his brother at the time and place
stated, but denies any knowledge Of the mur
der The friends of the Kellys think there is
an attempt to implicate them to secure the
real murderers; but the boy tells very
straight story.

for the murder of Capt Russell.

Native Wine.

Through the courtesy of Lieut.. Reynolds,
we have received sample of native wine
made by Mr.. V. Knudsen, of Waimea, Kauai.
That place, like the valley of Eshcol of old,
has for thirty or more years been famed for
the size and excellence of its grapes. Long
before the policy or inlpolicy of wine manu-
faeture in the Hiwaiiaan group was ques-
toned, the reputation of Waimea wine"
occasionally made by one of that honored
pioneer band of missionaries, long since
gathered to his rest, was known from Niihau
to Ka'u. An anecdote, which is told as hav-
ing occurred some years ago, illustrates more
forcibly than any logic the superiority of the
wine referred to. The stock of wine for COM
munion service at the old Stone Church, no
matter where. had become exhausted and
the pastor had no alternative in his efforts to
obtain an article suited to the dignity of
those for whom it was intended, but to send
to Waimea, from whence good supply was
procured But on tasting of it, it was found
to possess such delicious flavor and to be
so superior to anything heretofore used, that
it was deemed too good for the purpose and
a substitute was manufactured for the occa-
sion. There is evidently peculiarity in the
climate of that district tavoring this fruit.
Some years ago, a few punches of grapes
from Waimea were exhibited here, which the
late Chief Justice Lee said he had never seen
equalled in the size and beauty of the berry
and the length and weight of the punches.
The sample of wine which We have receiv-
ed is of rich and clear color, resembling a
brown cherry a most delicious aroma, and
in its taste resembles Muscat wine. in the
opinion of several experts TO whom we have
referred it. 1t differs from any native wine
We have before seen in its clear color and its
S,oeet taste. Most of the wines heretofore
made have sour taste, not very agreeable.
We have not learned what quantity of wine
Mr.. X. has been able to produce, but sup
pose this to be the result of his first expert
ment froh vines planted, we believe, some
three years ago. We congratulate him on
the production of wine which if he sue
ceeds in manufacturing it to any extent must
supereede in q great measure the imported
article, as it will and must certainly become a
favorite with all who use it. The locality
which he has chosen for his vineyard is un
questionably to become the Los Angeles
of our kingdom Its mild and even temper
ature favors the manufacture of wine after
the iuice is expressed rs well as the growth
of the grapes. The mere raising of grapes is
not the most important part of the manufac
ture of wine. The adaptation of the temper
ature to successful fermentation is probably
the greatest point to be looked at-Hono-

QUIcKsILvER PoIsoxING.-D VIM. Jones.
of Murphys, CAlaveras county. writes TO the
Pacific Medical Journal, describing a case of
poisoning from quicksilver, in a volatilized
condition. He says:
"a lady was recently brought to my house
in an extremely exhausted and cachetic con
dition, suffering from excessive ptyalism and
extensive liberation Of the mucous membrane
of the mouth and fauces. She represented
that she had enjoyed good health until three
weeks previous, and could assign no cause for
her illness, the nature of which she or her
friends did not suspect. until Informed that
the quicksilver, which ascertained her hus
band was in the habit of burning Off the gold
in the Kitchen had caused her indispostion. "
The poisoning is occasioned by the exhala-
tion of volatilized quicksilver, and cases simi.
lar to the above are of frequent occurrence.
There is but one safe way to separate gold
from quicksilver, and that is by means of a
retort, which every community of miners
should possess. Thousands of men have de
stroyed their constitutions in this State by a
careless method OF retorting their amalgum.--

AMPUrArATIoN -Ou Tuesday afternoon
last. we witnessed the amputation, by Dr. c.
O. Green, of this place, Of the leg Of a man
named p. Whitaker, from Marin county, who
had been brought here for that purpose. The
operation became necessary in consequence
of disease called osieo Sarcomd (cancer of the
bone) The disease was originally located
about four inches below the knee joint, but
at the time of the amputation it had extend
ed to the joint. About fifteen months ago,
Drs. Toland and Cooper, of San Francisco,
took portion of the diseased bone out, but
without producing the desired effect. A sim
liar operation performed about six weeks
ago, failing to give relief the limb having
become rrecoverably useless, and the disease
rapidly extending upwards amputation be-
came necessary. 1t was taken off about three
inches above the knee. The disease was of
tn ee years standing. The operation was
performed at three o'clock on Tuesday after
noon and, according to our understanding OF
such operations, was performed in less time
than ordinarily. The first stroke of the knife
cut entirely around the leg. The time oc-
cupied in cutting and saving was just three
quarters of minute. The whole time occu-
pied from the time the knife was inserted un-
til the man was placed in bed, with his
wound completely dressed, was SIX minutes.
OF this time near two minutes were lost from
failure of the arteries to bleed, 10y which
means they were not easily discovered. DR..
Green was assisted by DR.. Williams. During
the operation the patient bore his Affections
with an extraordinary degree of frmness-
He was under the influence of chloroform,
and when relieved of that influence. seemed
to be even thankful, as if conscious he had
exchanged greater for a lesser evil. When
we left, at half past three o'clock. he WIS
quite comfortable, considering the circum'
