INDIAN AFFAIRs.-Thursday evening oul
town was enlivened by the arrival of some
forty or fifty Indians from the east side OF
the river, armed and equipped for the war
path. No amount of questioning could draw
out the cause. They wanted to see Bill
Hopping-our Sheriff. They found him
and their head chief informed him that they
had discovered who killed the Indian who
was found dead by some teamsters near the
Canyon House some two weeks since, and
wanted to know if they could be permitted
to deal with the murderer la Digger, as
the criminal was Digger of another tribe.
The Sheriff shook his head little, to which
the chief replied: " Bill, you let us have
him; we kill him id quick" Bill told
him they might arrest him and bring him to
town, and they departed, returning Friday
morning with their prisoner, and as we &C
to press the trial is progressing amidst in
tense excitement among the Diggers, for,
strange to say, the white folks have not tax
en- sides yet

DOG CREEK.-Mr. Southern came down
from this mining camp few days since, and
as he lives up there, and really believes that
camp to be the best in the State for placer
mining, and inasmuch as he intended TO tell
everybody so, he took the precaution to bring
testimony with him. He brought it, not in
the shape of afidavits written or printed. but
in the form of chispas. four of which he
showed us that are nearly of size, evidently
of one family, and worth little over $3.50.
Four pounds and quarter is the weight of

This truck is taken from what is called Nc
Calls Gulch, a tributary of Dog Creek, which
in turn is small tributary of the Sacramen-
to river. Mr.. Mccall was the discoverer of
the gulch, and took out of it several thousand
dollars and then sold his claim The pur.
chasers began with favorable prospects.
which soon run out, and thereupon the story
went forth that Mccall had sailed the claim.
A little more work revealed that if he did
salt it he used very coarse article, and much
of it. Mr.. S. informs US that there is very
extensive mining region there, never pros.
pected, that presents external appearances as
aattering as the gulch he and his company
are working; aud can only account for its
lying there unimproved from the fact of its
being too near home and so easy of access

To Mako FanfV NUrr54,o,,.

The nutriment afforded to animals bv seeds
and roots, depends upon the rupture of the
globules which constitute their meal or flour.
These globules vary in different roots. tubers
and seeds. Those of potato starch are usually
from Is l0,O00ths to Al, 0O0ths of an inch
those Of wheat rarely exceed l,OOOths of an
inch. From experiments made on these
globules by NJ. Raspail, the author of "Organic
Chemistry" and NJ. Blot of the French
Academy of Sciences, the following conclusions
were drawn:
|. That the globules constituting meal -four.
and starch, whether contained in grain or
roots, are incapable of afIiording any nourish-
ment as animal food, until they are broken.
:. That no mechanical method of breaking
or grinding is more than partly efficient.
3. That the most efficient means of breaking
the globules is by heat, by fermentation, or by
the chemical agency of acids or alkalies
4. That the deXtrine, which is the kernel,
as 1t were, of each globule, is alone soluble,
and therefore alone nutritive.
5. That the shells of the globules, when
reduced to fragments by mechanism or heat,
are therefore not nutritive.
6. That though the fragments of these shells
are not nutritive, they are indispensable to
digestion, either from their distending the
stomach, or from some other cause not under
stood; it having been found by experiment
that concentrated nourishment such as sugar,
or essence of beef, cannot long sustain life
without some mixture of coarser or less nutri.
tive food.
7. That the economical preparation of all
food containing globules or fecula, consists
in perfectly breaking the shells, and rendering
the dextrine contained in them soluble and
digesdble while the fragments of the shells
are at the same time rendered more bulky, so
as the more readily to fill the stomach.
