Some time in IKMj or tho Urst part of Jkn7 a j.-ang "f Chinese went into Wallowa county, Oregon, and pitched their tent near tho west bank d Snake river,' and began mining along II. e banks r,f the liter. It appear that flit mi men succeeded in procuring c.iiideiable gold dust, dining the time thev worked the mines. They laid in u large quantity of provisions to enable the miners to carry ou the work during the m miner of 187, About the 1st of July, 187, weveudc ipnalo character of Wallowa county went to the ratup armed with titles and revolvers, where the Chinese were at work, and ehot the last one dead; robbed them of nil then coin and gold dust, and thiew the bodies in the liver. An eye witness to the murder aay that the gang of Chinese consisted of ten men, and nil were at work when the murderers opened fire ou them, and not one wa left to tell the tale. The people of Wallowa aro greutly agitated over the occurrence, ami the officers will use every means to bring the guilty parties to justice. Soma of the murderers are supposed to be out of the tate, and others are thought to be in reach of the officers. This same lawless band ha preyed upon the people of Wallowa county for some years, stealing horse and cattle, and no one know really the extent of ihe crime that have been committed of late by this band of desperadoes. Hot Witter lor Plants. It i a foi lunato circumstance that a plant will endure a scalding heat that is fatal to most of its minute enemies. Water heated to the boiling point, poured copiously over tho stem of an enfeebled peach tree, and allowed to ataud about its collar , will often have the happiest re storative fleets. Trees "bowing every symptom of tho yellows have often been rendered luxuriantly green and thrifty again, by thu simple mean. The heat is pre sumably too much for the fungus which had infested the vital layers of the tree, immediately under the outer bulk. Tli London florists recommend not water, up to 11.J "leg, r ,, as a remedy, when plants aro sicklr owing t to the soil souring the acid absorbed by the loots, acting ua a poison. The usual resort is to the trouble, some job of repotting. When this is not necessary for any other reason, it is much simpler to pour hot water freely thiough the stirred soil; it will presently come through tinged with brown. After this thorough washing, if tho plants are kept warm, new root point" nnd new growth will soon follow, A Hdy friend had a fine calla in a three-gallon pot, which showed signs of ill-health. On examination the outer portion of the Ailing wae found mouldy, il being in larje part fresh horse manure. As repotting was inconvenient, tho plant being in flower, hot water was freely used; tt killed the mould, and the plant began to revive nnd was soon all right. -- ten s Magazine.
