FARM AND GARDEN.
Liberal Manuring.

There is profound philosophy in the re-
mark of the English noblemun who asked his
tenant what made certain spot in the field
grow SO much stronger and better grain than
The rest, THAT said the farmer, "that is
muck midden"-i. e., a place where manure
had been piled. "And why" asked the no.
bleman, "why don't you make the whole field
muck midden!' The point of the story lies
in the fact that it has always been considered
practically impossible to obtain enough man
ure to secure the best results on all land.
Farmers have been compelled to use manure
sparingly in order to make 1t extend over
their fields as far as possible, and even then
they have failed in part and only manfred
one-third or onefourth of their land. The re-
suit has been that Much of the labor employ
ed has been on poor crops, when II might,
by use Of fertilizers, have been on good. We
believe IN purchasing manure from the stable
whenever it can be had, and if not, then such
commercial fertilizers as experience proves
to be valuable. Ii is very rare that the dit
ference between a good crop and poor one
will not pay the expense Of buying manures
to make the crop. If it will mott pay, the pro
liabilities are that nothing the farmer can 90
will pay, and he had better sell out and quit
the business. 1t does not need great quanti
ty or heavy outlay in concentrated fertilizers
to secure q large crop. Ia the experiment of
Mr.. Lawes, in England, an average crop of
4S94 bushels of barley has been grown more
than twenty years in succession by the use of
200 lbs of superphosphate and ammoniacal
salts yearly. The average crop Is as good as
where fourteen loads per acre of rich stable
manure were used There is adouble advan.
tage in growing these large crops. They cost
less per bushcl, and if the soil Is rightly man
aged otherwise, it is constantly increasing in
fertility and value.

Ebi SENTINEL: A big discovery has
Just been made in Spanish Belt Dis
tfict, 7 miles from here, in a mine call
ed the Mariposa, which assays $4,000
and over, with a four-foot ledge. TIE
Mariposa mine is a recent discovery
and is now owned by M. San Pedro.
Work is being vigorously prosecuted
on the Barcelona, which has a ledge 70
feet across 1t, but with only 6 feet Of pay
ore. The company owning this mine
expect confidently to have a mann
moth body Of ore eventually; and with
this view they have let a contract for
sinking a shaft. Heavy machinery is
OF the road for the purpose of erecting
hosting works, and a good road Is be-
ing graded to the mine. Houses are
being built, hich, taken with the
cabins already there, give the place
quite a lively appearance, impresslnp
one with the conviction that it will not
be long before another town will be
required to be jotted down on our
maps. There are several other mines
in Spanish Belt upon which work is
being done, amongst the most prom
inent of which is the Liguira, the first
extension of the Barcelona, owned by
the pious proprietor of the Christofo
Columho Restaurant. of Belm ont.
The Jefferson mines appear to be
keeping up their lick; everything rum
ming smoothly and trending to pros
perity.
All our neighbors seem to be doing
we'll, and are happy, whilst poor Bel.
mont is under a cloud at present, on
account of no ore being taken out of
her mines. But never mind, we'll
catch the worm by and by. Rnmor
says it is coming sure. We will be
ready for the railroad, any way, when
it gets here. II. p. S.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
ADANGEROUs

We were shown yesterday a letter
from Independence, Inyo county, Cal
iornia, which contained an account of
Of the trip of young Ashiln and his
mother and sisters from Carson to that
place. They had an exceedingly rough
and dangerous journey. The first shot
fred BY Perasich at the stage hit the
pistol which Ashim held in his hand,
and the second one grazed the cheek
Of Mrs. Ashim and passed through her
sleeve. II appears by the letter that
bat one of the brothers was engaged
IN the attack upon the stage, n OF the
cher men being a Sclavonian waiter at
the Ormsby House, who gave Pera-
sch notice of the presence of the Ash
ms in town, and the other was a man,
sso \ Sclavonian, who had engaged
passage on the SAM stage, doubtless
with the intention of assisting In the
ss1ssinatlon, but whose murderous
mention was thwarted by Mrs. Ash
In, who induced the agent TO refuse
him passage on the coach. Another
one Of the Perasich brothers had been
laying In wait for several DAYS at n
station near Benton. with the
ayowed purpose of killing young
Ashim when he came through. but
bad returned to Benton before the ar
rival of the party. He VAS in Inde-
lendence, however. before they ar.
rived, and, but for the precautions TAX
en- by the officers, would doubtless
have effected his bloody purpose be-
lore his intended victim could have
been taken to a place of safety. The
iawless spirit evinced by the relatives
Of the deceased Pera-ich, in their per.
s'stent efforts 10 murder young Ashim,
can not but inure To his ad vautage In

defiance the very principles of the
Jaw which they invoke TO avenge the
