The Sacramento correspondent of the Chronicle writes under date of Wedneeday as follows : Cutter’s Anti-Slickens bill. (No 40) -cameup for. second reading in. the ‘Assembly to-day. Roll-call the question whether. it should bé read a second time or not resulted in 40 ayes to 31 noes. Granger of Butte offered an amendment providing that only such defendants be joined who reside in one county, and that they shall have the tight to defend in the county where they reside beforea j jury of their own vicinage. Cutter opposed this as a measure intended to allow the miners to pass. on. their own cases. He made an argument of nearly a half hour in favor of the bill, and urged that the bill as amended by him granted more than the common law grants, Granger and Irwin — against the bill. Caminetti opposed the bill, giving ‘as one reason that the valley men were not in unison, Bibb and Sinon advocated the r Doty of Sacramento opposed it and cited the Bee asa paper that had always fought for the farmers bat was against this bill. Cutter said the Bee waa the organ of Cadwalader, who had received over $60,000 in fees from the farmers, had lost almost every case and wished the litigation prolonged. He intimated the existence of a rng and a combination, which ig understood to refer to an alleged arrangement between the miners and some of the Sacramento delegates, who want an appropriation for an aeons building. -—+Barry opposed te ‘bilt-as~ unjust, He said the question should be left to judicial determination. Ryan of Sacramento and Hershey favored the bill, but Johnson, Camp bell, Granger and Farley opposed it. “Granger's amendment was lost by a vote of 18 to 40. ‘A motion to adjourn was lost by a vote of-30 to 36. Cutter proposed an amendment to Section 1 by adding -as follows : But nothing contained in this section shall be construed to authorize a joinder of parties complained of as defendants, where the nuisance sought to be abated or enjoined is caused by the operation of quartz, drift or any kind of placer mining other than that by the hydraulic process, popularly so called. This was adopted by 84 to 31.Irwin offered three amendments to Section 1, which were lost. _Cutter moved the previous quesried,. The Assembly refused to engross by the following vote: Ayes—Barnes, Bibb, Brown, Carter, Clark, Coleman, Cutter, Field, Flynn, Fortna, Granger, Hall, Hamilton, Head, Healy, Hershey, Hughes, Kerrick, Larue, Leverson, Martin, Matthews, McDonald, Moffitt, Peterson, Plover, Rawle, Reeves, Ryan, Sinon, Smith, Stephens, Terry, Weaver, Yell—35.

The bill was refused a second reading and consequently killed. Made a Confession, Regarding the arrest of the alleged murderers of Ah Moon, a Truckee dispatch of Wednesday says: The principal one, Ah Yee has made admissions sufficient to affix the responsibility uf the whole crime. He says that while he didn’t do any of the chopping, he held the candle for the others. A long interview took place to-day in the presence of two' interpreters, but no:hing of the de. tails were ascertained. Ah Yee is ities to prevent lynching, although it would need but a spark added to the feeling now existing against the the Chinamen, to take him from jail . , Ali Shups, Ab Loy, Ab ee and Ah Yee, are alof doubt but the parties for wh ones. a ECE Go ro Brand & Bros for Valentines.

There are three species, The larvw are pale olive’ green or brown in. color. Matthew Cooke, Chief Horticultural Officer of the State, gives the following instructions for the, treatment of trees, attacked by the insects : ‘In, all probability the moths come ont of the ground in December, ~ or early jn January, as I found eggs on the 7th inst. Ishould advise the use of heavy paper bands tied on the trees near the ground and covered with coal-tar, to prevent the females from . getting up the trees to deposit their, eggs. These bands should be kept on until May, soas to capture the temales of the spring moths. If properly applied I am certain that a solation of lye—one pound to. each gallon-—will-destroy thé eggs (at least any thatit reaghes ) I have destroyed the eggs of the fall army worm moth, which are similar in appearance and structure, Should the females reach the branches and. deposit their eggs, I would advise, on the first appearance of the worms, to prepare a solution of one pound of arsenic boiled in five gallons of wa‘ter, and then add fifteen gallons (or one pound of. arsenic to each twenty gallons of water used.) I had excellent success with this wash last season. After the trees were thor. oughly sprayed twice ‘not a_ living worm was found,” “ How to Take Mushrooms. A professor who has been experimenting with mushrooms says. that be of thém are poisonous, but cooklesa degree of their poisonous qualities, The-repeated washiug with cold water which they undergo to clean them, takes away a portion of the poison, and boiling does the rest, but the water in which theyhave been boiled is highly poisonous, and should always be carefully disposed of. Experiments which have been made on dogs showed that if*a dog ate one per cent. of its own weight of raw mushrooms it fell sick, but recovered; ifit ate 14 per cent. the fatal effect, and if it ate 2 per cent, it was inevitably fatal. The water in which mushrooms had been boiled was far more poisonous than the raw mushrooms; while the mushrooms thus boiled could be taken without hurt to the ameunt of 10 per cent‘ of the weight of the dog’s body. Wasliing with cold water does not remove all the poison, so that mushrooms thus prepared were ' poisonous when taken in large quantities, Dried mushrooms are still dangerous for from’ 12 to 20 days, aud also the water in which they have been boiled, They require to be dried for at least a whole month, and: are really only safe after four months’ drying. These are important facts to be borne in mind, re Iv is rather paradoxical that fat landlords are called Bonifaces, Tis BOU'TEL AKRIVALS. NATIONAL EXCHANGE HOTEL Feb, 1, 1883, E. M. Preston, City. R.

Stokes can. fully recover from the injuries she received a few mre since by a fall. E. G. Denniston, proprietor of the San Francisco Gold, Silver and Nickle Plating Works, was in town yesterday.

The Sacramento correspondent of the Chronicle writes under date of Wedneeday as follows : Cutter’s Anti-Slickens bill. (No 40) -cameup for. second reading in. the ‘Assembly to-day. Roll-call the question whether. it should bé read a second time or not resulted in 40 ayes to 31 noes. Granger of Butte offered an amendment providing that only such defendants be joined who reside in one county, and that they shall have the tight to defend in the county where they reside beforea j jury of their own vicinage. Cutter opposed this as a measure intended to allow the miners to pass. on. their own cases. He made an argument of nearly a half hour in favor of the bill, and urged that the bill as amended by him granted more than the common law grants, Granger and Irwin — against the bill. Caminetti opposed the bill, giving ‘as one reason that the valley men were not in unison, Bibb and Sinon advocated the r Doty of Sacramento opposed it and cited the Bee asa paper that had always fought for the farmers bat was against this bill. Cutter said the Bee waa the organ of Cadwalader, who had received over $60,000 in fees from the farmers, had lost almost every case and wished the litigation prolonged. He intimated the existence of a rng and a combination, which ig understood to refer to an alleged arrangement between the miners and some of the Sacramento delegates, who want an appropriation for an aeons building. -—+Barry opposed te ‘bilt-as~ unjust, He said the question should be left to judicial determination. Ryan of Sacramento and Hershey favored the bill, but Johnson, Camp bell, Granger and Farley opposed it. “Granger's amendment was lost by a vote of 18 to 40. ‘A motion to adjourn was lost by a vote of-30 to 36. Cutter proposed an amendment to Section 1 by adding -as follows : But nothing contained in this section shall be construed to authorize a joinder of parties complained of as defendants, where the nuisance sought to be abated or enjoined is caused by the operation of quartz, drift or any kind of placer mining other than that by the hydraulic process, popularly so called. This was adopted by 84 to 31.Irwin offered three amendments to Section 1, which were lost. _Cutter moved the previous quesried,. The Assembly refused to engross by the following vote: Ayes—Barnes, Bibb, Brown, Carter, Clark, Coleman, Cutter, Field, Flynn, Fortna, Granger, Hall, Hamilton, Head, Healy, Hershey, Hughes, Kerrick, Larue, Leverson, Martin, Matthews, McDonald, Moffitt, Peterson, Plover, Rawle, Reeves, Ryan, Sinon, Smith, Stephens, Terry, Weaver, Yell—35.

The bill was refused a second reading and consequently killed. Made a Confession, Regarding the arrest of the alleged murderers of Ah Moon, a Truckee dispatch of Wednesday says: The principal one, Ah Yee has made admissions sufficient to affix the responsibility uf the whole crime. He says that while he didn’t do any of the chopping, he held the candle for the others. A long interview took place to-day in the presence of two' interpreters, but no:hing of the de. tails were ascertained. Ah Yee is ities to prevent lynching, although it would need but a spark added to the feeling now existing against the the Chinamen, to take him from jail . , Ali Shups, Ab Loy, Ab ee and Ah Yee, are alof doubt but the parties for wh ones. a ECE Go ro Brand & Bros for Valentines.

There are three species, The larvw are pale olive’ green or brown in. color. Matthew Cooke, Chief Horticultural Officer of the State, gives the following instructions for the, treatment of trees, attacked by the insects : ‘In, all probability the moths come ont of the ground in December, ~ or early jn January, as I found eggs on the 7th inst. Ishould advise the use of heavy paper bands tied on the trees near the ground and covered with coal-tar, to prevent the females from . getting up the trees to deposit their, eggs. These bands should be kept on until May, soas to capture the temales of the spring moths. If properly applied I am certain that a solation of lye—one pound to. each gallon-—will-destroy thé eggs (at least any thatit reaghes ) I have destroyed the eggs of the fall army worm moth, which are similar in appearance and structure, Should the

females reach the branches and. deposit their eggs, I would advise, on the first appearance of the worms, to prepare a solution of one pound of arsenic boiled in five gallons of wa‘ter, and then add fifteen gallons (or one pound of. arsenic to each twenty gallons of water used.) I had excellent success with this wash last season. After the trees were thor. oughly sprayed twice ‘not a_ living worm was found,” “ How to Take Mushrooms. A professor who has been experimenting with mushrooms says. that be of thém are poisonous, but cooklesa degree of their poisonous qualities, The-repeated washiug with cold water which they undergo to clean them, takes away a portion of the poison, and boiling does the rest, but the water in which theyhave been boiled is highly poisonous, and should always be carefully disposed of. Experiments which have been made on dogs showed that if*a dog ate one per cent. of its own weight of raw mushrooms it fell sick, but recovered; ifit ate 14 per cent. the fatal effect, and if it ate 2 per cent, it was inevitably fatal. The water in which mushrooms had been boiled was far more poisonous than the raw mushrooms; while the mushrooms thus boiled could be taken without hurt to the ameunt of 10 per cent‘ of the weight of the dog’s body. Wasliing with cold water does not remove all the poison, so that mushrooms thus prepared were ' poisonous when taken in large quantities, Dried mushrooms are still dangerous for from’ 12 to 20 days, aud also the water in which they have been boiled, They require to be dried for at least a whole month, and: are really only safe after four months’ drying. These are important facts to be borne in mind, re Iv is rather paradoxical that fat landlords are called Bonifaces, Tis BOU'TEL AKRIVALS. NATIONAL EXCHANGE HOTEL Feb, 1, 1883, E. M. Preston, City. R.
