ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1871. Rain! Rain!! Rain!!! ENTIRE RAIN-FALL OF THE SEASON—EXTENT AND VOLUME OF THE LATE FOUR DAYS’ RAIN—ITS VALUE TO THIS COUNTY, ETC., ETC. The rain of the season—the entire effectual, satisfactory and all-sufficient rain—the rain that stops the “yow yow” of the people—the rain that would be called a h—of a rain in any country—the four days stormy, soaking rain, on top of a four days’ rain, has come at last, and the country is saved. It commenced to rain on Thursday the 9th instant, and continued through the 10th and 11th. It rained again on the 15th, and on the evening of Sunday the 19th—a great rain-storm set in, which continued without abatement, night and day, up to the evening of the 22d. On the morning of the 22d we examined the soil, and found that the water had soaked the hard, unplowed up land, to a depth of twelve inches; and the plowed land to a depth of about two feet. SNOW STORM IN THE MOUNTAINS. While the rain was pouring down in this valley and along the entire California Coast, a terrible snow storm was prevailing in the mountains, which, afterwards appeared white with snow, almost to their base. Telegraph dispatches from Fort Tejon and Visalia, informed us that the snow storm in that region was fearful and severe. This snow will scarcely dissolve before the warm summer weather, and it therefore insures us a bountiful supply of water in the streets. THE NEW BROOKLYN CERTIFICATE OF "FARMERS' AND ANGELES," was County Clerk’s corporation, after the Bank, to state the object lying on a barn branches, to a legally done stock shall be its existence fifteen shares to be each. Also three Trustees: J G Downey, Childs, Matthew M Griffith, A H McL Baldwin, C E Thom, G H A Glassell, H W Leconvreur, D Armestoy, W H man, who shall the company for its existence.

A terrible snow storm was prevailing in the mountains, which, afterwards appeared white with snow, almost to their base. Telegraph dispatches from Fort Tejon and Visalia, informed us that the snow storm in that region was fearful and severe. This snow will scarcely dissolve before the warm summer weather, and it therefore insures us a bountiful supply of water in the streams during the heated term. QUANTITY OF THE LATE RAIN. From measurements kept at the Gazette office, and also by Mr. Higgins and Mr. Olden at their residences, we find that two inches of rain fell during the last storm, as follows: Sunday night, Feb. 19th, 5-16; Monday, 20th, 3-16; Tuesday, 21st, ½ inch; Wednesday, 22d, 1 inch. At the time of the falling of this rain, the ground was moist from the rains of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 15th, the quantity of which was as follows: Thursday, Feb. 9th, and Friday, 10th, ½ inch; Saturday, Feb. 11th, ½ inch; Wednesday, Feb. 15th, ½ inch. Thus, in the rains of these eight days, there fell 3½ inches of rain. ENTIRE RAIN-FALL OF THE SEASON. The first rain of this season fell on Sunday, October 23d, 1870, and continued until the following Wednesday night. The amount of water that fell in that rain was one inch. The second rain fell on Wednesday, Nov. 2d, 1870, amount 1-16 inch; the third rain Nov. 6th 1870, 1-16 inch; the fourth rain Saturday 26th and Friday 27th Nov. 1870, amount ½ inch; the fifth rain, Dec. 3d. 1870, ½ inch; the sixth rain Dec. 4th and 5th 1870, ½ inch; the seventh rain Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 14th and 15th, ½ inch; The eighth rain Thursday Jan. 10th 1871, ½ inch; the ninth rain Jan. 17th, ½ inch; the tenth rain Feb. 9th and 10th, ½ inch; and Saturday 11th inch; the eleventh rain Wednesday 15th, ½ inch; the twelfth rain, 19th, 20th, 21st and 22d Feb., 2 inches. Total rainfall of the season to date, six inches and one-eighth of an inch. The rains throughout the season have been quite regular, and sufficient for crops had they been sown early; but Jan. 10th 1871, inch; the ninth rain Jan. 17th, inch; the tenth rain Feb. 9th and 10th, inch; and Saturday 11th inch; the eleventh rain Wednesday 15th, inch; the twelfth rain, 19th, 20th, 21st and 22d Feb., 2 inches. Total rainfall of the season to date, six inches and one-eighth of an inch. The rains throughout the season have been quite regular, and sufficient for crops had they been sown early; but many of our farmers hesitated even to prepare their soil for sowing. This hesitation has finally given way, and the plows and harrows are now being used with a will throughout the county. ITS BENEFIT TO THIS COUNTY. We have heard various estimates as to the amount, in dollars, this rain has benefited the County. Some place it at $250,000, others at $1,000,000, and others again as high as $5,000,000. It is difficult to arrive at satisfactory figures; we can only be assured that it has been the county's salvation, and that is all-sufficient. On Thursday, the water in the Santa Ana river had reached such a depth as to render it impossible for the stage to cross it. The San Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers, as well as the streams to the southward of us, were also greatly flooded. Bow-Wow!—Notice the dog ordinance in another column. The tax on City dogs is $1,00 per year, one half of which goes to the Marshal. Country dogs entering the city must report at the Marshal's office and get a visitors' permit. THE NEW BANK.—On February 22d, the certificate of incorporation, of the "Farmers' and Merebants Bank, of Los Angeles," was filed for record in the County Clerk's office. The article of corporation, after declaring the name of the Bank, to be as above mentioned, states the object in view to be the carrying on a banking business in all its branches, to such extent as can be legally done. Also, that the capital stock shall be $500,000, and the time of its existence fifty years. The number of shares to be five hundred, of $1,000 each. Also that there shall be twenty-three Trustees, viz: J G Downey, I W Hellman, O W Childs, Matthew Keller, J S Griffin, J M Griffith, A B Chapman J F Burns, L McL Baldwin, C Ducommun, S H Mott, C E Thom, G Hansen, W H Workman, A Glassell, H W Hellman, C Heine, F Leconvreur, D Solomon. J Mascarel, D Armestoy, W H Perry, and I M Hellman, who shall manage the concerns of the company for the first three months of its existence. PEACE ARRANGEMENTS.—The peace affairs continue between France and Prussia, with a prospect of soon being completed. Alsace, Loraine; and cities of Metz and Nancy, are to be ceded to Germany. The German army will not enter Paris, and Emperor William will leave for Berlin on Monday next. The Germans are anxious to march through Prisis. Trochu has resigned, at request of Thiers, and returned to private life. New Advertisements.
