Another Wholesale Indian Mas
 SACre.

Six more good men have been mur- dered by Indians. This terrible mas sacre occurred on the 9th instant nine miles west of Wicken burg. The western bound stage on that day had on board as passengers Frederick .oho- holm, Frederick W. Loring, P. M. Hamel, W. G. Solomon, c. 5. Adams, William Kruger, Miss Sheppard. and John Lang, driver. When passing through an arroyo, the attack on them was made by, Us is variously re- ported, from nine to thirty Indians, and at the onset all but Kruger and Mollie Sheppard were killed, and they both wounded. One of the men was lanced and scalped - name not re- ported. All the dead were brought back to Wickenburg and there buried.
 We heard of the above last monday and for reliable details waited till this morning, when our space is nearly occupied, and now can only say that Messrs. Loring, Hamel and Solomon were mem bers of the Wheeler Expedi- tion; Adams, Shoholm, Kruger and Sheppard of Prescott. The murder was quite surely the work of the Apache Mohaves. A friend at Prescott pro- mises us complete account by next mail, which will appear in our next paper. Week after week such sad and sickening reports come to us for record, and yet there are a few men so des- picabl y mean as to say the Indians want peace. Shylock was saint in comparison to such heartless and avaricious wretches.

MAJOR H. R. MIzNER, of Camp Lowell, obliges us with some clippings from Detroit papers containing the news of the loss of the steamer R. G. Coburn, on Lake Huron, about the 20th of October. It seems quite cer- tain that among the lost passengers was First Lieutenant William At wood, of Captain Fuller's Company, Twenty first Infantry, now at Camp Apache, but was then acting as Aid on the Staff of General Cooke, command ing Department of the Llkes. Lieu tenant Atwood's conduct was highly spoken of during the trying hours which preceded the sinking of the steamer. His death promotes Second Lieutenant John M. Ross, now at Camp Lowell.

 A WASHINGTON correspondent of The Sacramento Record, recently wrote to that paper paragraph about the "played-out" Colyer, and then referred by way of contrast to the Governor as follows:
 Governor Stafford is man quite as kind and humane as Mir. Colyer, yet who brings to the consideration of the Arizona difficulty @ practical judgment of the Indian character and a knowledge of how to deal with it. And when Governor Stafford takes up the sword and rifle, it is because the peace-Gfe Is no longer efficient.
 The petty tyrant Colyer, and his servile tools, played their little des- potic parts with pompous insolence and much brevity. In treating with contemptuous silence the practical Governors sincere overtures to assist in bringing about peace, the short sighted upstarts developed their glar- ing unftness for public duties and their decline began which has in eff feet demolished them and placed the Governor higher in public estimation.

SOME of the Third Cavalry officers at Mcdowell are engaged in prefer ring charges against each other, and reports agree that they are mostly based on spiteful grounds.

FRANKLIN's ToAsr.-Long after
Washington's victories over the French
and English had made his name famil-
lar all over Europe, DIR. Franklin chanc-
ed to dine with the English and French
Ambassadors, when the following toasts
were drank:
By the British Ambassado -"Eng-
and fructify the remotest corners of the
EARTH"
The French Ambassador, glowing with
national pride, drank:
Franco, the moon, whose mild, stea-
dy, cheering rays are the delight of all
nations; consoling them in darkness,
and making their dreariness beautiful"
DR.. Franklin then rose, and with his
usual simplicity, said:
"George Washir gton, the Joshua who
commanded the sun and moon to stand
still, and they obeyed."

FIELD CULTURE OF LIMA BEANS.

The cultivation Of the Lima, the most
delicious OF all beans, is principally con-
fined 10 the home and market garden
The price always ranges high, from eight
to fifteen dollars a bushel wholesale, ,ac-
cording to the character of the season. 1t
~ little uncertain of ripsning its seed
north Of 42 degrees, Though it will ina
ture fine pods for succotash much further
north. The green beans, dried at any
time before the frost strikes them, are
even better for table use than those fully
matured. The demand for LAmas from
the market gardener is so brisk, that he
usually sells his whole crop green in the
pod, not always reserving enough for his
own seed.
The good housekeeper welcomes the
first show of Limas upon her poles, and
The pods are plucked as fast as they are
old enough for succotash, and she
greatly astonished that there is not a
brown pod for seed when the frost closes
the season.
Retween the improvidence of cultiya.
tors in the region where the crop will
fully ripen, and the inability of others in
the narrow belt where nothing but green
Limas can be grown, there is always a
lively demand for good sound seed In the
spring. i.
In cool seasons the seed .is scarce, and
rules high. In hot, dry seasons, like the
last, more of it is matured, and the price
is lower, but still about three times that
of the best kidney beans.
This popularity of the crop that wa
have noticed makes 1t adesirabls one for
farmers remote from market towns. If
they are within the belt where the seed
will ripen from one-hsff to the whole
crop, they are perfectly safe In -dsyosing
large breadth to Limas. The uature.
part of the beans will bring q large price,
for seed; and the immature, If properly
dried, will bring nearly as much for ta-
BILE use In winter.
The family grocers In our large citisa
always find it difficult 10 meet the de-
mand for this vegetable. We devoted a
quarter of an acre to this crop last season
ed was sraveIIy Ioafn, ia notm1ig nhore
than fair condition; probably cspable. of
growing thirty-five bushels of shelled
| corn to the acre. 1t was manured with
about two cords of barnyard manure and
compost, planted the last of May, and
treated very much as the corn crop
through the season. The beans grew
well, and gave four bushels and six
quarts Of seed, besides some sent to mar.
ket Wholesale price for the article this
Spring was eight dollars a bushel, or
$l34.oO per acre for the crop. This is
about three times. what the, corn. crop.
would have been worth upoa, the same,
land with the same manure. The cost of
polling the beans and of harvesting thsn
was judged to be an expense Of ten doll
lars an acre aboye that OF q corn crops-

A SLIGHT BLUNDER.
CHAS. B. LORE,
Attorney-G General.

On no occasion do people seem more
prone to commit blunders than at wed-
ding. The following funny incident ac-
tually happened in California:
In the midst of a crowd of witnesses
she clergyman had just completed the
interesting ceremony which binds in the
silver bonds of wedlock two willing
hearts, and stretched forth his hands to
implore the blessings of Heaven upon
the union.
At this point the groomsmsn, seeing
the opsn hand reached out, supposed it
the signal for him to surrender the we'd
ding fee, which was burning in his
pocket.
Accordingly, just as the clergyman
closed his eyes in prayer, he felt the
pressure OF double eagle upon his
palm.
The good man slightly hesitated, APP
palled at tho ludicrousness of his situa-
ton; but coolly deposited the money in
his pocket, and proceeded with his devo-
ton

THE ART OF COUsANING.

A country gentleman lately arrived
in town, Immediately repaired to the
the house of a relative, lady, who had
married merchant. The parties were
glad to see him, and invited him to make
their Louise his home, as he declared in
tention of remaining in town town only
a day or two. The husband of the lady,
anxious to show his wife's relative eve-
ry courtesy that he could, took the gen.
tleman's horse TO livery. stable. FIJI
nally, his visit BECAME a visitation, and
the merchant found after tho lapse of
five days, besides lodging and boarding
the gentleman, a pretty considerable
bill had ran up at the livery stable. Ac-
eordingly he went to the man who kept
the livery stable, and told him when the
gentleman toCk the horse he would pay
the bill.
"Very WE'LL" said the stable keeper,
"I understand you."
Accordingly, in short time, the
country gentleman went to the stable
and ordered his his horse to be got ready.
The Dill was presented to him.
"Oh," said the gentleman, "Mr. -,
my relative will pay this"
"Very good, sir" said the stable keep
er; "please get an order from Mr.. -.
1t will be the same as the money"
The horse was put up again, and away
went the country gentleman to the store
where the merchant kept.

the bill must be paid for his keeping"
"Well, suppose that is all right,

"Yes-well but you know I'm your
wife's COUSIN"
"Yes," said the merchant, "I know
you are, but your horse is not"
