It unites with other substances?lime, soda, etc.?and forms compouuds known as phosphates, which are found in all fertile soils, and which seem to be necessary for the growth of plant*.

Uuot l'rtmiiiii I never hail much faith in pruning the roots of trees to make them bear fruit. It appears to me that the more extensive the roots, the more fruit the trees ought to bear; but I may be mistaken. An English fniit grower says in an Euglish paper that having some very free growing plum trees which bore no fruit, he dug a trench two feet six inches from their trunks, half around the trees in a semi-circle, cuttingoff all the roots as far as he dug. and with a sharp knife smoothed the ends of the roots cut off. The result was that the lirst season the trees did not make so much wood as previously, but many spurs formed all over the trees which were covered with buds ; and the second season they bore n large crop of fruit. He closes his article as follows: "The inference gained is to root prune all gross growing unfruitful trees. We proved the good of it years ago in the treatment of apples, pears, and even tigs, besides plums, and there is no better time of the year for performing the same than the month of October. The great art of fruit growing ir> to so manage our trees that they shall possess suflicient vigor to produce fruit of good quality, but uni to overgrow that limit, bv making good growth at the expense of a crop of fruit." If is quite probable that root pruning i:i certain cases may cause barren trees to produce good crops but we need more light on the subject than wc now possess. In the iibove case the roots were cut oil' but lialf wav around the trees ; but it is evident that iie would have badiy injured them if the entire routs had been severed tv> o feet and a half from their trunks. A better way than to cut half around would be to dig further from the trunks of the trees, according to their age and growth, and to cut off the roots entirely around them, from four to six feet from their trunks.?

Alfred Picard, a Frenchman, who, in New York, attempted to destroy his wife's face with sulphuric acid, was a steerage passenger on tin1 steamer Bus ianu. a-', n ut ueeu a' sent m t rance about four year*, during which time his wife had earned her own living.

He accused her of unfaithfulness, and used this as a protexl for his inhuman treatment. Her friends advised her to leuve him, but with wifely dey>U >n she refused.

THE CHICO ASSASSINATIONS. Six Chinamen Sh?i by White 3Ien?Three of Thein Killeil Outright?Attempt to ' Burn tlie C'ubin Orer the Victims' Hcudw. Tlie Sacmmento Union-Record has a | i letter dated from Chieo, Cal., which gives the following account of the murderous assault upon Chinamen near that place: > Your correspondent visited the scene of tlie terrible butchery which was re: ported to have taken place at the Lemm ? ^ ,.?.i ^ iw,ie ' , Ilium, UUUUl ?l 11111U UUU 11 1UU1 liUill 1 town. The location of the scene of this ! most brutal anil terrible butchery is r 1 about a mile up the Humboldt road, on the left side, and about three hundred ^ yards from the residenco of John II. Williams. It is reached by a panel gate I in the fence, next the road, and is only distant from said road about two hun: dred aud fifty yards across a field of : wheat belonging to I\Ir. Lenun. Six i Chinese were employed in grubbing and i clearing a piece of land adjoining this s field by contract, and were congratulating themselves that two or three days i more would finish their contract, and they would get their pay. Mr. Leinm . intorms rue mat tiiev were aingent, goou . working Chinamen, and lmil made a good . job of the work they had 011 liaud. There ) had been no quarreling among them, the utmost harmony prevailing, and no one entertaiued any idea that enemies were . after them. They had built a small cabin for temporary use, of plunk, and in that they lived. The Chinamen were I j all in the cabin iu the evening, some lying down, while the others were sitting around. A lighted candle was upon a small table, and it is thought that this aided the bloody murderers in their hellish work. On my arrival on the ground I went up to the cabin, and the ghastly sight which presented itself was most appalling. On the ground at the entrance there lay a stalwart Chinaman on his face, with a bullet wound in his head, and blood and brains formed a pool around him. The second lay about a foot from him, nearly in the same condition, while a third lay partially over the second, also w?unded in the head. The fourth was lying iu an opposite direction to the other three, with his face partially upon the matting or bed, with a terrible wound in his face, which showed that his murderers had been close to him. He was alive, but unconscious, at the time I saw him. He died during the time the inquest was being held. The fifth Chinaman was wounded in the breast, but managed to escape to the other side of the slough, where he was found in a dying condition. He was brought to town, but there is little chance of his recovery. The sixth Chinaman \>ns wounded in the arm by a small man or boy. It is only a flesh wound, and he says that as aim was taken at him he threw up his left arm and foil back, lying perfectly still. Thinking they had completed their work of slaughter, kerosene was poured over the place and the match applied ; 110 doubt with the hope to obliterate their deadly and brutal record. After setting the fire they hastily made their escape, but the wounded man, who had been perfectly still, rose after their departure and crept out of the fiamesl He made his way to town, but nothing was done till next morning. It appears that the assassins were six in number, and, as the Chinaman describes them, there were five " Melieau men " and one boy or little man. They came right up to the cabin door, and, without any warning, blazed away, each one of them picking out his victim, which could Vie easily done, as the candle 011 the """Ul jA.ou.uiio. xwv.iv .o no clew to the perpetrators of this terrible outrage, and the verdict of .the 1 coroner's jury is in the common phraseology?that the Chinamen came to their deaths by pistol shot wouuds, inflicted by six white men to the jury unknown? and nothing more. No active steps have been taken to ferret out the crimes which have been committed in and around Chico during the past three weeks, and murder and bloodshed, incendiarism and rapine are allowed to run rampant. Is it because they are Chinamen that the law is so lax to ferret out the perpetrators of these crimes ? Jf our county olhcials are not able to accomplish anything to put a stop to these nightly lawless proceedings, let an appeal be made to the governor, jtwI Sstnfp nntImvifiitwilrofl i/? in vestigate tlie present state of affaira. The principles of the Order of Caucasians are opposed to Chinese labor in all and every form, as well ns the further immigration of that people, and since that organization started in Chieo all these depredations have taken place. I have talked to several of tjieir prominent . members, and they deny that their organizations allow such lawlessness, and they are willing to assist in ferreting out . the perpetrators. I do not say that the scoundrels who are committing these deeds are members of the Caucasian Order, but I do say that the principles of the order, being a determined opposition to the Chinese ns a race, are a cloak and a sanction, to a certain extent, to this lawlessness. Such being the case, this order is bound by all the ties of humanity nud civilization to take cognizance of these crimes, and use nil means to briug to conviction the perpetrators. Citizens are becoming alarmed, and there is no knowing where this thing will end if speedy relief is not obtained. The haying a<.d harvest will soon be upon us. and every branch where anything in the shape of a Chinaman is employed is in danger of the incendiary's " torch. The murdered Chinamen belonged to the Nin Yung Company. Citizens* are going to raise a puree of ?1,000 as a reward for the arrest and conviction of the assassin*, and a call will be made upon the governor to oiler a like reward. A general feeling of sympathy is growing iu favor <>f the Chinese. A Scene in a .Murderer's Cell. Charles M.

The results are highly j tifying to tho friends of the Company and the public . lorally.

Its recoipts in 1876 jj leeded its disbursements by over $"{00,000. although it d in death claims nearly a quarter of a million dollars, re perfect security could not be offered to insurers, is almost unnecessary to say that this Company has hing to do with tho National Capital Life Insurance mpany of the District of Columbia.
