A recent Texas letter to a Colorado paper, dated at Austin, gives the prices of cattle down there as follows: Beef cattle $12, cows $7, yearlings $2 hogs $10, good ponies from $15 to $30. A new machine for taking off the hides of dead cattle will shortly be tried at Buenos Ayres. The operation is short, sharp and decisive, requiring only a minute for each hide. Cold air is forced by a pump between the flesh and the hide, and the thing is done. The process ought to be an improvement on the old hacking and scraping system. EIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 18, 1871. Correspondence. EDITOR OF THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE:—The county of Los Angeles contains within its boundaries a large extent of the finest farming land in the State. Our climate is equable, temperate and delightful. Our freedom from frosts enables us to cultivate, successfully, all the products of both temperate and semi-tropical countries. The sea breeze so harsh and chilling on our Northern coasts, is here soft; gentle, delicious. Our healthfulness is proverbial; in fact, a belt of our sea coast—twenty miles in width, from Point Pedro to San Diego—may be pronounced superior as a resort for invalids to any place in the whole earth. Nature has done everything—man but little. We want an energetic, industrious, improving population; but (there is always a bit) the inhabitants of the at present principal town in this county, seem, by a concerted effort, determined to use their best endeavors to discourage and drive away all intending purchasers, who have sufficient discrimination to decline settling upon the gravelly and barren table lands surrounding the town of Exposed Himself. Apropos to the strictly confided letters about counterfeit currency good many are received now—a-The Buffalo Express relates the following incident: One day a man shall be nameless, entered Police Superintendent Doyle's private office asked to see Mr. Doyle. The courous chief motioned him to a chair asked him to state his case, for theitor seemed in a greatly perturbed or mind. "Mr. Doyle," he began, "I have swindled, and I want you to help me punish the secondrelief." "Explain," sententiously remanded the Superintendent. "See here (producing a strictlyidential letter), I got one of things a couple of weeks ago, and I down twenty dollars." Well, what did you get in return asked Mr. Doyle. "A paper box of sawdust," exclaimed the visitor, "and that's what I was see you about. I want you to —" Stop a bit," interrupted Dr. "What did you expect to receive your twenty dollars." Why—why—just what this stammered the man, holding up the ter. And what did you propose with that stuff?" asked the Superintendent. Well, what did you get in return asked Mr. Doyle. "A paper box of sawdust," exclaimed the visitor, and that's what I was see you about. I want you to— "Stop a bit" interrupted Doe "what did you expect to receive your twenty dollars." "Why—why—just what this stammered the man, holding up the ter." And what did you propose with that stuff? asked the Superintendent, each second his glance became more piercing, and the color of man's face deeper in proportion. "I—I—you you know." Yes, I know. I guess you had ter go. The man went. COUNTRY LOANS.—It is gratifying observe that the facilities for providing loans on country property have creased lately in this city. The depression in local real estate, the accompanied by less shrinkage of taxes than was to have been expected has made the savings and loan institutions unusually cautious about the ing on city lots, and caused the accumulation in their vaults of a large plus. As a natural consequence, it is more readiness to favor country applicants, with more safety because country titles have much imprisonment within a few years, while the valley town and farm and has a tendency healthy advancement, instead of decay. It is probably a fact that the county in all the more accessible districts, derived a greater present advantage from the construction of the Pacific connecting railroads than the metropolitan. Previous to the railway era was great contraction of means in city, rural value were steadily declining for a number of years. The revival confidence and enterprise in the country, the establishment of numerous interior Savings and loan Institutions, increase of agricultural industry and manufactures, the completion of an extension of local railroads, have given ability to interior values, while the crease of surplus capital in the city caused them to be regarded as an class of legitimate securities. New turn of affairs is likely to be as beneficial to the city as to the tax. It insures a healthy growth in the country and unhealthy thora in the city are not conditionable to such prosperity as they wants. The steady gain of the interest is the best guarantee for metropolis greatness.—S. F. Bulletin. the south-eastern corner of this county. This belt comprises the great body of desirable agricultural lands of our County. There are, it is true, several fertile valleys lying inland, but they are comparatively small in extent. Therefore, I would say to those who are looking for a home, give not the slightest credence to the "Dogs in the Manger," that howl the praises of Los Angeles, and speak disparagingly of all other parts of the County; for Los Angeles is not only noted for her hungry soil, but has also a bad pre-eminence in those characteristics which make a town undesirable as a residence, for quiet and peaceable people. Let all such, beardless of discouragement, look at the land themselves, and take no man's word for it. If they see Los Angeles first, so much the better—our land will be improved by the comparison. It is as hard to change the habits of a community after they have grown upon them, as to change those of an individual. Notwithstanding all that has been written and said about California, and the indisputable testimony given in favor of its climate, a large number of wealthy people in the East continue to go to Florida to escape the rigorous Winter, simply because it has been customary to go there. These people are, however, beginning to wake up to the fact that California possesses a climate far more suited to the delicate invalid, and as some wealthy men of Chicago, are contemplating building a hotel at Santa Barbara, as a Winter resort for invalids, may expect that this will be the forerunner of similar establishments. If this first one is built with Eastern capital, it will have Eastern influence to support it, and let our State once become famous as a place of Winter resort and we shall far out distance Florida. TARRING FENCE POSTS.—A heavy of coal tar applied to fence posts promote the durability of the timber such an extent, that posts of any sort timber will last more than two long as if the posts were not tall. Touching this subject a farmer wrote Fourteen years ago I built a yard around my dwelling of sawed oak 4x6. I had them well seasoned, placed about a dozen of them on logs, letting the foot of them prover two and a half feet. I then set a fire under the foot of them and them burn until well charred. I close at hand my barrel of tar with end out, and sunk two-thirds in ground. When the posts were blown hot, I plumped them into the tar, ting them remain a minute. I was particular in having some water or a cover at hand to put out the fire the tar should catch. My posts appear to day, excepting some which had sap on them. Sawed oak posts not ordinarily last more than six eight-years. The true way to attach the tar is to lay it on thick after posts have been set, and the holes filled up with earth. Charring is avoided injury to posts, as it will protect their decay. As soon as a heavy tar is applied to a post, let the be filled to prevent the tar from running down. Mr. S. declared that his wife had fulls—"she was beautiful, durable, plentiful and an armful." EXPEDIENT WAY TO BRIGHTEN SWEET WINES.—For twenty gallons of wine, one and a half ounce of best isinglass is crushed with a hammer to small plates, and then cut into small strips, and placed in a clean tumbler with fresh spring water. When the isinglass shows itself well macerated, the water is removed, and two gallons of the same wine, after it has been boiled (in some parts of the Rhine, rose leaves are added to the boiling wine), poured over the isinglass. The whole is left in a closed vessel for three days and three nights, by which time the wine will have accepted the form of a jelly. The latter is beaten for thirty minutes with a skimmer and then pressed through a piece of cloth, and, when passed through it, let run into the wine. The latter is clarified after the cask has been well stirred with a stick. The cask is then tightly bunged and left for forty eight hours. The wine is then let into a sound and well cleaned cask, which is kept prepared for the reception of the wine; the same must be kept filled up to the bung, and after a rest of six or eight weeks in a good cellar, the wine will be bright and its quality considerably improved.—W. & K. Rep. EXED Himself. The strictly confidential counterfeit currency, a receipt now a-days, press relates the follow-One day a man, who entered Police Super-private office and Doyle. The courteered him to a chair and gave his case, for the vis-greatly perturbed state he began, "I have been want you to help me to findrels." Intentionously remarked went. Producing a "strictly correct" I got one of these 60 weeks ago, and I sent dollars." Did you get in return?" was of sawdust," exclaimed that’s what I want to I want you to — interrupted: Doyle: expect to receive for dollars."—just what this says," man, holding up the let did you propose doing asked the Superintendent It is gratifying to the facilities for procuring country property has in this city. The long local real estate, though less shrinkage of value have been expected, savings and loan institutions about the lend and caused the accentual vaults of a large surreal consequence, there is to favor country apprehensive safety because have much improved years, while the value of land has a tendency toiment, instead of decline, a fact that the country, accessible districts, has later present advantage section of the Pacific and roads than the metropolis to the railway era thereation of means in the city were steadily declining years. The revival of enterprise in the counment of numerous internal loan Institutions, the cultural industry and of the completion of an extension, have given staity values, while the income capital in the city has be regarded as among ultimate securities. This years is likely to be quite the city as to the county a healthy growth. Poetry and unhealthy pleasures are not conditions faciosperity as the city lady gain of the interior juntee for metropolitan F. Bulletin. Wines of Mouldy Taste — The mouldy taste of wine may also be removed by the remedy given above for acid wines, but the same purpose may be accomplished by another method, consisting in the use of oyster shells, well cleaned and roasted until they are black. For thirty gallons of mouldy wine take five ounces of oyster shells, roasted and crushed into small pieces. Those pieces are tied up in a small bag of grey linen, the lower end of which is of a pointed shape. The bag containing the roasted oyster shell is let through the bung hole into the wine down to the middle of the cask and suspended by a thread. The bung is then driven in tightly, and the cask left in this condition to rest for six or eight weeks. After such time, the bag with the oyster shells is taken out; the cask is filled with wine up to the bung, and after a week's rest, the wine will be ready for bottling. In the place of oyster shells, egg shells may be used for the same purpose. Wine F Rep. Secrets of the Stomach — A great many things go into the mouth. We drink, every one of us, a pair of boots a year! We carry iron enough to make a horse-shoe. We have clay enough in our frames to make, if properly separated and baked, a dozen good sized bricks. We eat here and there, at least a peck of dirt a month—no, that is not too large an estimate. The man who carelessly tips a glass of lager into his stomach, little reflects that he has begun the manufacture of a hat, yet such is the case. The malt of the beer assimilates with the chyle, and forms a kind of felt—the very same seen so often in hat factories. But not being instantly utilized, it is lost. Still further, it is estimated that the bones in every adult person require to be fed with lime enough to make a marble mantle every eight months. When we pour milk into a cup of tea or coffee, the albumen of the milk and the tanin of the tea instantly unite and form leather or minute flaxes of the very same compound which is produced in the texture of the tanned hide, and which make it leather as distinguished from the original skin. In the course of a year a tea drinker of average habits will have im- capital in the city has been regarded as among the most secure securities. This is likely to be quite the city as to the county and healthy growth. Poetry and unhealthy pleasures are not conditions favors prosperity as the city lady gain of the interior guantee for metropolitan life. Posts.—A heavy coat needed to fence posts will inevitability of the timber to that posts of any kind last more than twice as posts were not tarred. Subject a farmer writes: "Mago I built a yard fence filling of sawed oak posts them well seasoned, and dozen of them on two foot of them project half-feet. I then built foot of them and let well charred. I had my barrel of tar with the tank two-thirds in the posts were blazing them into the tar, let in a minute.

It is estimated that the bones in every adult person require to be fed with lime enough to make a marble mantle every eight months. When we pour milk into a cup of tea or coffee, the albumen of the milk and the tannin of the tea instantly unite and form leather or minute flaxes of the very same compound which is produced in the texture of the tanned hide, and which make it leather as distinguished from the original skin. In the course of a year a tea drinker of average habits will have imbibed leather enough to make a pair of shoes, if it could be put in proper shape for the purpose. The Director-General of the Post offices in British India is putting the new rubber-tired road steamers in use in that country. An apparatus, which costs at the rate of seven hundred dollars per mile for its first establishment, will convey one hundred and twenty persons and fifty tons of freight, at the rate of ten miles an hour. This outfit includes four engines, and the distance daily traversed is about seventy miles. Two engines are run, and the other two are reserved to provide against accidents. For short distances, of comparatively small traffic, or for short collateral branches of iron roads, the road steam would certainly seem to be better adapted than regular iron locomotives. The saving in equipment is very great. A veritable descendant of Saint Martha came into a neighbor's house in Buffalo, a few days since, downcast, wearied with many cares, and cumbered with much serving. "So much to do! cleaning, working, cooking, washing, sewing and every thing else! No rest, never was, never will be for me!" "Oh, yes," said the good woman she addressed, "there will be a rest one day for us all—a long rest." "No for me! not for me!" was the reply. "Whenever I die, there will be certain to be a resurrection the very next day! It would be just my luck."
