THE SENTENCE OF RUFUs ANDERSON
In the Reese River Reveille of the 18th
instant is an account, in full, of the pro-
ceedings incident to the sentence of the boy,
Rufus Anderson, convicted of murder.
Following is the conclusion of the sentence
as delivered by Judge Beatty:
With respect to the crime for which you
are to suffer l consider it proper to say,
that the facts developed upon your trial do
not show you to be more criminal than sew
eral others of maturer years who have
passed through the ordeal of trial here,
and came Oft with lighter verdict; and,
although. as believe, you have been legally
and justly convicted, l still regard you, in
certain sense, as a victim-a victim of the
idea that had become widely prevalent in
this county, tina, murder might have been
committed with degree of impunity. l
shall always believe that, if the juries
tina. have tried some other cases at
this bar had performed their duty as in
fexibly as the jury in this case have per-
formed theirs, more than one man who has
been suddenly and cruelty bereft Of his life
and is now sleeping in bloody grave,
would be alive to-day. l believe ii you
could have foreseen the consequences of
YOUR act, that Slocum would have been
alive, and that the heavy hand of the law
would not have fallen with its full weight
upon beardless boy. l pity your situation
from my heart, but there is not drop of
your blood or Of your victims on my con-
science.
The judgment of the Court is that you,
Rufus d. Anderson, be taken hence to the
place from whence you came, there to be
kept in safe custody till Friday, the seven
teenth day of July, 1868; that upon that day
you be taken by the Sheriff of Lander
county to some convenient place within the
county, and there bstween the hours of
IL o'clock at noon and O'Clock Of the after
noon Of that day, hanged BY tho neck until
vou are dead, And may God have macy
au'your soul!

DKATH OF FATHER CoTTER.-Our citizens
| of all classes and creeds were surprised and
panied in an unusual degree, by the an
nouncement yesterday morning of the sud-
den and unexpected death of Rev. Father
Cotter, the much beloved Catholic priest of
this city. But a few DAYS since. on Sunday
last, we had seen the Reverand Father TAX
ing past in the holy and imposing ceremo-
mics of the Confirmation and of the pro-
cession of Corpus Christi, and little thought
from his fine and healthy appearance on
that day that his last of earth was so near.
But Father Cotter, appearing so healthy,
was afflicted with an insidious disease,
which was liable to take him off at mo-
ment's warning.
Thus has passed away one of Natures
noblemen, beloved, honored and respected
by all, and by all will be deeply mOurned.
lie had most singularly entwined himself in
the hearts affections of his pensioners.
who all regard the loss of their spiritual
Father with deepest woe. Most devoted to
his duties to the Church, urbane, courtly and
genial in his intercourse with the world,
simple and chidlike toward
his parishioners, catholic in the broadcast
sense of the word, he could be but loved in
life and mourned in death. Father Cotter
at the time of his death was in the thirty
fourth year of his age. He was a native OF
Doneraile, County Cork, Ireland; was edu-
Gated at All Hallow's College, Dublin,
where he distinguished himself. He came to
California in 1859. and three years ago, IN
June, 1865, took charge of St. Roses Church,
in this city, of which he was pastor at the
lime Of his death.-State Capitol Reporter.

so scandalously abused last Summer BY the

THE DAILY APPEAL.

THE RAcEs.-A late return from the race.
of yesterday and our crowded columns COM
pei us to brevty in our report thereof. The
main fact to be mentioned is that through
the tedious, contumacicus skittish deviltry of
the Conner horse, the race did not take place
Half mile races, like necessity, know no law;
and horse that would be, or ought to be
ruled off every regularly established race
course on earth baked the best short race
that was ever gotten up in these parts. The
horses were taken to the half mile pole about
9 O'Clock. A half hour or SO was consumed
in turning" Then the Conner horse ran
away with his rider. Then they turned in
effectually for another half or three quarters
of an hour; and then the unruly Conner
beast ran away again, heller SHELTER, right
across the track Enclosure, jumping bitches
and playing the Devil generally. Then the
turning was renewed, all to no purpose, from
the fact that Mr.. Corners distinguished re-
preventative of the Montana turf would not
pass the score unless he could have it
all his own way and take the lead
or enjoy another runaway. In this
manner the whole afternoon was worn
away and about o'clock, it being gen.
orally concluded that it was no 60, the
horses we're blanketed and brought off the
track The whole matter is in a muddle
and we can make neither head nor tail out
of it. Up to the time of this writing there
had been no definite decision that we could
learn relative to the settlement ofthe mat
ter. We were told by what We consider
excellent authority that the race would be
renewed to-day at 10 o'clock A. N. Butthis
was subsequently denied. II it is to come
of, the pool money goes with the race. If
the whole thing is off, as it ought TO be,
each man will draw his stakes, the pool
money be refunded, and then If a sweep
stakes race is to be made up, it will be made
to rule and if that is done all trick horses
will be. as they ought to be, uled off the
course.
LATER.-George Lewis informs US that the
sweepstakes race will positively come off at
10! o'clock 4. NJ, to-day. Several other
races will also take place to-day. The en-
france will be free to every one. Mr.. Lewis
is doing his utmost to make the races sue
cess. He will soon give another three days
-ace, under the management of Jockey
Club composed of the best sporting men in
he community.

Hogs VI. Sheep.
From the Prairie Farmer,

The difference between hog raisin 6
and sheer raising is this; there is no
other manner offasming BY which land

all into Pork, by corn and hog raising,
While there is no other way by which
WORKOUT land, can be brought up and
enriched so easily and cheaply az by
sowing it in grass, and pasturing it
with sheep; in other words, by sheep
raising.
An old field upon which sheep had
been pastured for several years, was
broken up last spring and planted in
corn. This tall have taken from that
field over seventy-five bushels OF corn
per acre; while my neighbours field,

TIMBER CULTURE.

In an essay entitled, Timber Culture
a National Necessity, read at meet
ing OF the Northern Illinois Horticul
tural Society, by our correspondent
u. e. Schoheld Of Eigin lll,he said;
Summon all the land holders OF the
country, aud demonstrate to them the
profits OF timber culture: produce facts
and not theory; tell them that from one
acre planted with Tyrolese Larch, they
may reap harvest at the end Of six
years, OF hop-poles, grape.stakes and
trellie materials, worth more than two
hundred dollars, and at the close OF an
other six years, they may reap har-
vest OF fence posts which will be com
paratively imperishable, and worth
more than nine hundred dollars. In
testimony, add"oe my forest in Eigin,
which, ten years ago was smooth
prairie, aud afterwards planted with
plants, which then stood IN the nurseries
Of Scotland. Let them measure the
trees, both of pine and larch, OF more
two feet in circumference, and more
twenty feet inheight; count the number
on the acre, and estimate the number
o. fence posts that each tree will make;
tell them that at the end OF twenty
years they may reap third harvest
by cutting one half of the residue. or
six hundred and five trees more than
one and half feet in diameter and for
ty feet in height. This timber may be
used for ship-spars and fcnce-posts
building timber and railroad ties, worth
more than fifteen hundred dollars. -
At the end of another ten years, they
may enter the forest again, and gather
fourth crop, by removing three hun
dred and two trees, leaving an equal
number growing on the ground: Now
the trees have an average diameter OF
two feet and more, and are sixty feet
in height, each Of which Is worth at
least ten dollars, or q total value OF
three thousand dollars. The amount
OF the proceeds already realized in
thirty years is five thousand six hun
dred dollars, or an average at more
than ore hundred and eighty six dol
lars annually. -

A correspondent Of the Rockford

gives the method used on the Pacific

to the manner Of putting up butter tor

mother Of this invention, hut that
makes the invention none the lees val

churn, - soon - worked over, into
the scylindr,cal bags, made OF tine
bleached muslin. The packages are
then put into large Casks containing
strong brine with . slight admixture
OF saltpetre, and by means Of weights
kept always below the surface. The
cloth integument always protects I .
butter from any impurities that chance
to come in contact with the package,
and being always buried in brine, that
protects It from the action OF the air;
aud it has been ascertained by trial
shat butter put up in this way will
keep sweet longer than in any other
way. Besides, it 10 founu easier and
cheaper for the manufacturer than to
pack in ffrkins or jars. And for the
retailer, there 10 NO telling the advan-
tage on the score Of safety and con.

home, discovers specks Of dust upon
the outside Of the sack, he can throw
it into . pail ofpurey cold water and
take it out clean and white. As he
uses the butter from day to day, with
. sharp knife he cuts it it of from the
end Of the roll in slices of thickness
to suit his wants, pesls of the cloth
from the end Of the slice, leaving it in
tidy form to place upon the table.

Some persons contend that feed ng
salt to stock is not necessary to their
health and comfort, consequently a
useless expense. This conclusion is in
opposition to the opinions Of many
eminent dairymen and stock growers
and ignored by the cattle themselves
when salt is supplied them-espAcia' ly
during the season OF green teed.
Other animals in the wild Atate
evince an appetite for salt, showing
that it is natural and not an acquired
habit. 1t is believed that sailing cat,
