PARTICULARS OF THE CoofgR TRAGEDY.-A cor
respondent OF the Stockton Independent, from
Knights Ferry Stanslsus county, furnishes the fol
lowing particulars in regard to the Cooper TRACE
dy:
most horrible tragedy took place in this county
about IL I O'Clock A. NJ. on Wednesday last. 1t ap-
pears that Wm. Cooper, proprietor of the Rock
River Ranch. in supposed tit OF insanity, delber-
ately murdered his wife and fed to the foothills
He first attempted the homicide with rifle. which
missed fire. He then drew derringer pistol. and
shot his wife through. He then seized double
barreled shotgun as though he intended to continue
the murderous assault when the cook. a Chinaman,
who had been attracted to the scene, tried to re-
monstrate with him at which Cooper ordered him
to leave, and simultaneously dealt him blow with
the gun, breaking the Chinamans left arm below
the elbow. and breaking his gun. Cooper then
mounted his horse, when on finding that his gun
was broken he threw il upon the ground. lie ihen
dismounted. returned to the hieless corpse OF MS
wife aud deliberately stabbed her three times IN
the breast with bowie knife He then remarked
to his little son that he had killed his mother and
intended TO kill himself. He then remounted his
horse and took to the foothills. Mrs Cooper was
lady Of great excellence OF character, esteemed by
all and Cooper has been regarded as most alice
tionate husband He has been in i'll health Tor
some time and is doubtless insane. Parties are
now in pursuit.

RAISING FLAx.-We learn, says the San Mateo
Gn.stfe of Nov. l6th. that enterprise Is on
foot which is calculated 10 be of considerable I'M
portance TO San Mateo county as well as TO the
State at large. We allude TO project which is
in contemplation of starting factory in the Vi
cinity of Mcclellan, between Rellmont and san
Mateo for the purpose of manufacturing or work
ing fax for the various articles for which it Is use
ful. such as bags. twine. etc. Several farmers IN
the vicinity have agreed to put in twenty-five acres
each the coming season. OF fax for the purpose OF
trying the experiment There is no doubt but the
cultivation of fax in California will be found to be
more remuuerative 10 farmers than that OF any
other crop that can be raised. One acre of land
has been known to yield 1925 worth of tsxseed 10
this State, the present season. This was merely
for the seed but if there factory where the
fibre could also be sold it is easy TO see that flax
raising NAV become one of the most important
branches of agriculture in this State. The high
price of linseed OIL oil cake and all kinds of linen
fabrics. at the present time, is great inducement
for going into tisxseed raising and manufacturing
in California.
