Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...JANUARY 23, 1875. One of the most frequent causes of murder arises from the habitual carrying of concealed weapons. Especially is this found to be the case, when the murderer is young, as in the instance occurring here during the present week. There is a law against this practice, and it is the duty of the Grand Jury to take cognizance of the fact that to all intents and purposes this law in Los Angeles county is a dead letter. One of the best assurances that the Forty-fourth Congress will be more free from lama than some of its immediate predecessors, can be found in the fact that there will be only one member of it, who is a clergyman. As a general thing when preachers go into politics they take with them the entire Mosaic Law, and leave the New Testament at home. And one little peculiarity of this ancient law is most rigidly enforced; and that is in making Washington a "city of refuge." The annual renting of seats in Plymouth Church came off as usual during the first part of the present month. The crowd present is described as immense, there being not even standing room left. The total amount paid in for the year's rental was $71,165, being an increase of nearly $13,000 over last year. And the speculative stockholders of the Plymouth Church Company have the pleasing consciousness of knowing that religion, dashed with a little real vice, is just twenty-five per cent. more saleable than the pure, unadulterated article. In one of the New England States there was recently on trial a libel suit, which turned upon the question of OUR PUBLIC LANDS. The gradual withdrawal of the valley lands in the Southern counties of California from grazing purposes has directed the attention of stock-raisers, and more particularly of sheep-men, to the practicability of utilizing, as a pasture for their flocks, the mountainous sections of this part of the State. These lands are almost entirely owned by the United States, and it is on account of this ownership that the chief difficulty occurs in opposition to such use. The public surveys have been extended over but few of those townships which constitute the mountainous districts, and even were they surveyed, the fact that no tract larger than a quarter section, can be purchased by one individual precludes the possibility of the sheep-raiser deriving any benefit from such purchase. This matter, becoming an apparent evil even at that time, was presented to the attention of our last legislative assembly, and that body passed a resolution instructing our representatives at Washington to use their influence in forwarding the public surveys over the land in question, and in obtaining the passage of an act allowing stock-raisers to preempt a fall section of mountain lands. Besides this, within the section to which we refer are almost all our available timbered lands. The authorities parish any pre-emptors who attempt to remove and sell this timber. Until the public surveys are extended over this district, therefore, wood, a seaside commodity at the best, will necessarily command high and even exotic figures. This subject is one which affects directly and seriously the stock-raising community, and which is of indirect interest to each and every house-holder; it would not therefore be unadvisable to refresh the memories of our Congressional representatives, relative to the pressing importance of early and remedial leg- In one of the New England States there was recently on trial a libel suit, which turned upon the question of how much publicity is given in the eyes of the law, to matter written on a postal card and sent through the mail. The defendant wrote a letter to the plaintiff upon a postal card, accusing him of forgery, and the defense was that as post-office clerks are sworn to secrecy there was no more of a publication than if the matter had been sent in a sealed letter. The court held that there was a libel and a nominal verdict was returned for the plaintiff. Wm. C. Stokly, recently installed Mayor of Philadelphia, will be in office during the Centennial Exhibition, and upon him will devolve the duty of receiving the representatives of the thirty foreign nations, which have signified their intention to participate in our centennial jubilee. The worthy burghers of the Quaker City appear to have been impressed with a due sense of the responsibilities, with which they have entrusted the Hon. Mr. Stokly, and his inauguration was attended with such state and ceremony as was never before. The instructions, given to Col.Crawford by Senator Jones, President of the Independence Railway, strongly corroborate the correctness of our views regarding the new railroad combination, now in process of organization, and to the chieftainship of which the Nevada Senator evidently aspires. These instructions are that the wharf at the ocean terminus shall be extended to a depth of water, sufficient to float the largest sized vessels, (the China steamers of the Pacific Mail Company,) and that no connection shall be made with any line belonging to the Southern Pacific Railroad. From a communication to the Los Angeles Star from County Auditor Gillette we learn that in June the taxable property of Los Angeles County amounted to $12,080,366 and that the debt of the County was $625,949 03. Since that time the value of county property has been increasing room left. The total amount paid in for the year's rental was $71,165, being an increase of nearly $13,000 over last year. And the speculative stockholders of the Plymouth Church Company have the pleasing consciousness of knowing that religion, dashed with a little real vice, is just twenty-five per cent. more saleable than the pure, unadulterated article. At no time since the agricultural resources of Los Angeles county were first commenced to be developed has there been given to our farming community so promising a prospect of a rich reward for labor as appears in the present agricultural outlook. Under the favorable auspices of last year a very large number of acres had been prepared for culture and almost the entire area, owned by farmers, had been seeded in small grains. All of this area, which has not or can not be prepared for the new crop, can be volunteered and profitably harvested. A great many, however, have taken advantage of the early rains in November, and have prepared their lands and are now ready to seed them on an extensive scale. Beside these many flattering indications of coming prosperity, which are foreshadowed by the present favorable seasons, and which will be assured by their continuance, there has arisen during the latter part of 1874 a large home demand for the cereals of the valley, caused by the valuable mineral discoveries at Panamint and other points in the interior. As this demand is fully equal to the supply, and promises to increase in even greater proportion, the result has been that the farmer can command at home a better figure for his produce than is obtainable in the San Francisco market. Added to this, are the increased facilities for transportation and shipment, which have been completed during the past year, and those, which are now either in serious contemplation or in process of actual construction.

From a communication to the Los Angeles Star from County Auditor Gillette we learn that in June the taxable property of Los Angeles County amounted to $12,080,366 and that the debt of the County was $525,919 03. Since that time the value of county property has been increased $10,000 by a more correct assessment of same, and coupons, amounting to $22,813, have been taken up and cancelled. The taxes have been closely collected, and the balance on hand on January 8th, 1875, was $209,559 10 with which the current expenses of the coming year and interest were to be paid, and the debt reduced. It is a fact, not generally known, that the last Legislature changed materially those sections of the Political Code, relating to poll-tax collections, and, as one change was to increase the delinquent tax from 50 per cent. to 100 per cent., we give a synopsis of the law as it at present exists. The Code now provides that the poll-tax shall be $2, if paid between the first Monday in March and the first Monday in July, and $3. If paid between the latter date and the second Monday in January of the ensuing year. It is the duty of the Assessor to collect taxes up to the last date named, at which time he returns to the Auditor a roll of all who have not paid the poll-tax, though no person can be placed on this roll and returned delinquent unless a personal demand has been made upon him. The Auditor adds $2 per cent., bringing each tax up to $4, and gives the roll to the tax-collector. The tax thereafter becomes a lien upon property. The non-occurrence of our annual Christmas rain and the unusual dry weather during the first half of the present month gave rise to serious apprehension that we were about to enter into a dry year similar to the disastrous Winter and Spring of 1863-64. Quite a change, however, has been produced in the agricultural out-look since to-day, one week ago; and it has all been occasioned by one of the most abundant and beneficial rains, which has occurred within the past six or seven years. On Saturday last the total amount of rain, which had fallen during the present season, was only one and three-fourth inches; on the following Monday morning the rain-fall to date was seven and one-half inches, or one-eighth of an inch more than had fallen up to the same date in 1874, a year which had considerably more than the average of rain. Since that time two inches additional of rain have fallen, making the total rain-fall during the present season nine and one-half inches, or two inches more than on the 23d day of January of last year. Professor Bolander, State Superintendent of Schools, is determined that the order of the Board of Education, making a change in school text-books, shall be enforced. He gives notice that he will withhold a fourth of the school money due to any town or locality that fails to comply with the provisions of the law. AROUND THE COUNTY. The Cantata of Esther has been postponed until further notice. A party of engineers, in the employ of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, are still at work in Cajon Pass. Gen. John M. Baldwin has been elected City Engineer by the Common Council of Los Angeles. The Grand Jury, now in session at Los Angeles, will probably conclude its work to-day. The schooner, Isabella, went ashore on the rocks off old San Pedro during the rain storm. The total rain-fall at Los Angeles is recorded by Ducommun as being 16 35-100 inches. The rain-fall during the late storm was 12 35-100 inches. It is generally believed that the schooner, Emma K. Faroham, with lumber for Wilmington, has been lost at sea. She left Crescent City over a month ago. A new mining district called the "Blue Ledge," has been formed. It lies just north of San Fernando mining district and to the east of the Arroyo Seco. Treasurer Temple, of the Los Angeles & Independence Railroad, has received a letter from a prominent citizen in Inyo county, stating that at least $100,000 of stock in that railroad would be taken in Inyo county. Bohen Lodge No. 138, I. O. O. F., at Wilmington, have elected the following officers for the ensuing term: S. G. Thompson, N. G.; James L. Eidy, V. G.; R. L. Garret, R. S.; Jno. Morrison, Treasurer. Louis Mesmer's wine cellars in the basement of the United States Hotel in Los Angeles were burglarized last week. The work is described as having been performed by professional "cracksmen." On Sunday morning last three men made a raid upon a house of ill-fame in Los Angeles, handled the inmates very roughly, and took therefrom $185. Two of the trio, named Lowry and Dutts, were arrested by Officers Ryan and Sands. Railroad connection between Los Angeles and Wilmington was completely destroyed from Monday until Wednesday afternoon, the road below Compton having been washed away in many places. The Spadra branch was the only road that received but three feet of snow fell on Sunday night at Virginia City. The steamship Alice, from Cardiff for Constantinople has been lost at sea, with twenty persons. The report of the survey of the contrary of Santa Barbara channel near Point Magu says that no improvement is possible. The Dutch troops in Aachen have made a general assault upon the defensive works of the Acheneese, and captured nine of their forts. The cutter, Lapwing, was captured by the natives of Santa Cruz Island, which lies off the coast of New Zealand, and all of its crew massacred. The Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum, near Oakland, was destroyed by fire on Sunday with nearly all of its contents. Joseph Harper died in Georgetown, D.C., on the 6th instant at the age of 103 years. He had been blind for eighty years. At Urbana, Ohio, recently a mob took a man, named Ullery, out of jail and lynched him. He had outraged a nine-year old girl. Interested parties are preparing to contest the claim of Major Hancock to certain water from Lytle Creek in San Bernadino County. The weather was so cold at Helena, Montana, last week as to freeze the mercury in the thermometer. Four Chinamen were found frozen to death half a mile from that city. The counsel for Vasquez are preparing a bill of exceptions, and an appeal will be taken from the verdict and sentence passed upon the notorious brigand. Late advices from New Mexico state that the Verde Indians are on the war-path, and have driven off all the stock from Little Colorado River precinct. Luttrell has received memorials from settlers and Grangers in Southern California, protesting against a change of the route of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Heresy, the Door-keeper of the Federal House of Representatives, has been removed because of having received some of the Pacific Mail subsidy money. Bird, the Assistant Door-keeper, will be removed for the same reason. James Pascoe, Ex-County Surveyor of San Diego county, who made the On Sunday morning last three men made a raid upon a house of ill-fame in Los Angeles, handled the inmates very roughly, and took therefrom $185. Two of the trio, named Lowry and Butts, were arrested by Officers Ryan and Sands. Railroad connection between Los Angeles and Wilmington was completely destroyed from Monday until Wednesday afternoon, the road below Compton having been washed away in many places. The Spadra branch was the only road that received but little damage, the trains not having stopped running on that route. On Monday last as the locomotive, San Gabriel, preceding the morning train from Wilmington, was on its way to Los Angeles, the track gave way near Cerritos Station, and the engine was ditched, completely wrecking it. Master Mechanic W. H. Thomas, of Wilmington, was seriously scaled and otherwise injured, and still lies in a critical condition. The engineer and fireman were also slightly scalded. Mr. James, Register of the U. S. Land Office in this city, has just returned from San Francisco, whence he was called as a witness in behalf of the United States, against Keyser and others, charged with cutting wood on public lands. The offense was committed in Ventura county some few months since. The trespassers were convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and imprisonment for twenty-four hours. Wood-cutters under like circumstances will do well to take warning—Herald. A new order, called the "Janissaries of Light," was organized here on the 22nd day of November, by a gentleman named Thomas Gray. The first meetings and initiations were held in his private room in Sonora, until they became too large for the limited accommodation of the apartment, when they were held for a while in the County Court-room. Here a large number of members were initiated, and they had to again seek more spacious quarters. They removed to Good Templar Hall, where they now meet every Friday night. They have now a total membership of 184, and last night 53 in one batch were initiated. If the Janissaries increase with this rapidity no hall in Los Angeles will be large enough for their meetings. It is a secret order, and has for its underlying principal the object of rendering every man, by securing to him the just fruits of his own labor, independent of the oppressive combinations of capital. Its benefices are calculated to reach every avenue of life, and theoretically, it presents a most inviting picture of the happiness of mankind under a system devoted solely to their regeneration and welfare—Express. At a recent meeting of the Bee Keepers' Association, held at Los Angeles, Mr. John P. Brick presented an article on the important question, "How to dispose of our honey." He suggested that the fact be advertised of the superior quality of Los Angeles honey, and the certainty of a constant and adequate supply.

Whilst there, he was hung and burnt by the citizens—in effigy. Sargent and Page have been before the Commissioner of Internal Revenue lately to secure his approval and favorable endorsement of the bill for the relief of California brandy distilleries.

He suggested that the fact be advertised of the superior quality of Los Angeles honey, and the certainty of a constant and adequate supply. If the buyer does not seek us, we must seek the buyer. Our market is evidently in the Eastern States, and there we must seek our buyer. San Francisco is, and ever will be, but a place of exchange where the Los Angeles bee-keepers are now compelled to employ middlemen or brokers to do what, in a regulated state of affairs, the bee-keepers could do themselves. But our bee-keepers must acquaint the buyer and consumer with the excellent quality of our honey—by advertising. Its quality, as well as its quantity, cannot be praised too much. He suggested that a statistical article on bee culture in Los Angeles county be prepared for publication. Mr. A. J. Davidson also furnished suggestions on the same subject. He desired the second-hand oil can to be thrown aside, and a "honey vessel" determined upon. Small producers, by acting together, could make it profitable to ship honey in large quantity to an Eastern market. Comb-honey is as a rule in demand, especially if well put up. A prolonged discussion followed participated in by Messrs. Gordon, Malloy, Davidson, Bruck and others. London was suggested as a good market for California honey. NEWS IN BRIEF. The Ohio State Prison last year netted the State $25,425. Two disastrous fires occurred In Rutland, Vermont, last week. A German war vessel has landed troops on Spanish soil, who captured the Carlist town of Seurase. In an affray at Dayton, near Chico, a saloon-keeper named Carton, was stabbed and killed by a man named Jack Hayes. A mass meeting against the use of military in the Louisiana Legislature was held last week at Faneuil Hall in Boston. Over 3000 people were present. William Gray was President, and Governor Gaston, ex-Governor Bullock, Charles Francis Adams, William Aspinwall, and Francis W. Bird were among the Vice-Presidents. The resolutions adopted condemn the use of Federal troops in State affairs as subversive of a Republican form of government; condemn the dispatch by Sheridan, and appeal to the people of Louisiana to continue the forbearance which they have shown under trying circumstances. On the same night a large indignation meeting was held in Baltimore, at which Hon. Reverdy Johnson was the principal speaker. On Monday last a collision occurred on the railroad near Carson City between the upward bound passenger train and a portion of a freight train which had become accidentally detached. It appears that shortly after the freight train left Carson City the three rear cars came uncoupled and started back down the grade. The conductor telegraphed back to open a switch so as to turn the runaway train from the track, but from some cause this was not done, and the detached cars continued on at a speed of sixty miles per hour. The engineer of the upward bound train, on first discovering their approach, stopped his train and awaited the collision. Two of the freight cars, and the foremost engines and tender of the passenger train were completely demolished, but the shock was but slightly felt in the passenger cars, and three was no loss of life.

United States Patent. Situation. "Continela," with the addition of the "Sausal Bedolno," contains 25,000 acres. The boundary of the rancho commences far east and a half mile from the city limits of Los Angeles, and extends to the Pacific Ocean. Topography. "Continela" is made up of one broad, level fertile valley of over twenty thousand acres and beautiful. For the rolling hills near the Ocean. Soil. The soil is an exceedingly fertile loam, and is, without exception, rich and most productive in Southern California. Its viability to the ocean insurns a crop without irrigation. Excellent wh at has been raised for the last two years upon the hills joining the ocean. This wheat field contains 1,000 acres and covers the lightest soil upon the Rancho. There is no alkali or barren land. Semi-Tropical Fruits. There are a few bearing orange and lime trees upon the Continela, and the fruit they produce is of the largest and most quality. There is an orchard containing 6,000 orange trees three years old, and 1,700 almond, lime and lime trees. The almond, lime and lemon tree a will bear fruit in 1855. The orange tree will bear in five years. There are 7,000 three year old orange trees in the nursery near the orchard. For pepper and ginn trees grow without irrigation. The entire orchard can be taken care of by three men with six horses. The orchard will be kept unlivled by fine Company, to save the expense of each shair holder having a few trees to take care of. Each share will contitle the owner to about 15 trea in the orchard and about the same number in the nursery. The almond, lime and lemon tree a will yield an immediate return. In five years each orange tree will produce $20 per annum, or $500 per share for these now planted. There are flowers in the garden in bloom every day in the year. Sheep. A flock of about 14,000 sheep will be kept undivided to save expense to the shareholders. This will give about 30 sheep to each share. The sheep will produce an increase and wool over $2 each year, over expense. They will be grazed upon outlying and unused lands of the company. The "no fence" law is in force in Los Angeles county. Climate. The climate of the "Continela" is without exception the finst and most equable in the world. It varies but little throughout the year. The mean temperature is about sixty degrees.
