A brother of John Wagner, who has just returned from a trip to his brother's sheep camp, dropped in to see us yesterday. We learn that Wagner got as far as Soda Lake with his band of sheep (9,000) but at that point they refused to drink the water. The sheep and men being absolutely worn out, it was decided to make a retreat, and before getting back to food and water eight hundred sheep perished. Wagner's camp is now at Fish Ponds, on the Mohave. The band is now in splendid condition, and it is proposed to summer in the San Bernardino Mountains, where there is abundance of feed. At a favorable opportunity they will be sent by railroad to Yunnan. Items from the Los Nietos Valley Counter: The Downey literary society at its last meeting discussed the question, "Resolved That a gentleman should possess $250 before being allowed a marriage license."...We were informed that during the late hall storm hail fell to the depth of two inches in the bed of a wagon, about ten miles from here, some of the stones being as large as the top of a man's finger, and the occupants of the wagon were obliged to envelope themselves in blankets...A supposed confidence operator made his appearance in this vicinity last week. He was a young, genteel appearing man, and claimed to be a nephew of Mr. John Doeere, a celebrated plow manufacturer. In conversation he possessed a varied fund of information, and could converse intelligently upon almost any topic. He seems to have arrived here on foot, and shortly afterwards bargained with Mr. Frank E. Adams to buy the latter's place. A check was to be given for $2,500, and on the arrival of the buyer's father whom he represented would shortly [FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.] Mr. J. Jordan has procured ample pasture for his sheep near San Gorgonio Pass. The S.P.R.R. has adopted a new schedule, which will go into effect to-morrow. The shipments from the depot this morning were: 2 bales sacks, 23 kegs beer. 2 kegs wine, 4 boxes butter, 6 boxes eggs, 3 empty beer kegs, 6 cars sheep. The Committee for the Fireman's picnic have desired us to express their thanks to the Brass Band for the delightful music furnished on Sunday, and also to the ladies and gentlemen who rendered such kind assistance on the occasion. T.A.Fraser, agent of the Lick estate, is in Los Angeles looking after the Lick property in this section. The estate here comprises the whole of Catalina Island and 4,400 acres in the Los Feliz rancho. The agent intends to make arrangements for selling or leasing the property. The contracts for the construction of the new Old Fellows' Hall, in Los Angeles, have been let to the following parties: Carpenter work, A. Chisholm; brick work, Willard Collins; plumbing, Barrows, Furrey & Co. Mr.E.F.Keyser is the supervising architect. The building will probably be commenced next week. At the meeting of the County Central Committee on Saturday, Mr.Brierly moved that the apportionment be one delegate to each fifty votes in each township. Amended by Mr.Creighton to give each precinct at least one vote. Garden Grove, San Gabriel and Ponona were allowed one vote. The most at the law office of Capt. C.E. Thom yesterday morning.[Present—L.M.Holt, J.Dearth Shorb, T.A.Garoy, Dr.O.A.Conger, D.M.Berry,C.E.Thom and Milton Thomas.] After a full discussion the Committee agreed to incorporate and did incorporate the Southern California Horticultural Society with its principal place of business at Los Angeles. The articles of incorporation provide for a membership and no capital stock. The trustees for the first 3 months, named in the articles, were the incorporators. The above mentioned corporation's objects are set forth in the articles of incorporation,"to promote and encourage by all lawful means,the development and prosperity of the agricultural,horticultural and pomological interests of the counties of San Diego,San Bernardino,Los Angeles,Santa Barbara,Ventura and Kern,在this State;and with that view to purchase or otherwise acquire and hold real estate or other property,told exhibitions of agricultural,horticultural and pomological products,and to award premiums." A meeting of the fruit growers of the above mentioned counties is called to meet at Good Templar Hall on Saturday, June 2,1877,对the purpose of adopting by-laws for this society,and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. [FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.] were obliged to envelope themselves in blankets... A supposed confidence operator made his appearance in this vicinity last week. He was a young gentleman appearing man, and claimed to be a nephew of Mr. John Deere, a celebrated plow manufacturer. In conversation he possessed a varied fund of information, and could converse intelligently upon almost any topic. He seems to have arrived here on foot, and shortly afterwards bargained with Mr. Frank E. Adams to buy the latter's place. A check was to be given for $2,500, and on the arrival of the buyer's father, whom he represented would shortly be here, the balance of the purchase money was to be paid. Mr. Byrd was engaged to put the place in order and take care of it, and carpenters were employed to remodel the house, build barns, etc. In the meantime the gentleman was staying at Mr. Adams' house. On Sunday evening last family went to church, leaving the confidence man and two boys at home. The boys were up stairs. Shortly after Mr. Adams went away the boys heard a knock, the door open and close. When Mr. Adams returned his buyer had vanished, and he has not been seen or heard of since. Some are inclined to suspect foul play, but there is not much doubt but he had played his game—procured his board—and "fit out" for other parts. This confidence man also wanted to buy Mr. Carney's farm, and contracted a small bill at the store of Mr. Luce. He is a man apparently about 77 years of age, tall and rather alim built. Where is he? [FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.] —Church or pie-nie to-day. You pays your money and you takes your choice. —Mr. Bailey has 1,100 mutton sheep at the depot ready for shipment. —In her race at Chico yesterday Goldsmith Maid trotted a mile heat in 2:14. This is the best time ever made in the State. —The "boys" have a new game now to pass away their leisure hours. It is called "high hall pokes," and they all take something out of a bottle. —In spite of the complaint of dull times, every Saturday brings a host of our friends from the country into town. Our merchants had no cause to complain of trade yesterday. —At the meeting of the County Central Committee on Saturday, Mr. Brierly moved that the apportionment be one delegate to each fifty votes in cash township. Amended by Mr. Creighton to give each precinct at least one vote. Garden Grove, San Gabriel and Pomona were allowed one vote. The next meeting of the Committee will be held on June 16th. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: J H Hill, 3 boxes dry goods; H West, 1 bbl oranges; C & W, 19 pkgs mdse; T Connard, 1 bdl iron; P, 2 pkgs mdse; J Bennerscheidl, box hardware L Gunther, 1 roll leather; L Goldsmith, 7 pkgs mdse; Dr R Gummings, 3 pkgs mdse; E H Dibble, 10 bills iron; J S Haywood & Co. 4 pkgs mdse; W C Co., 4 boxes candles. —His name was Gabriel, and he represented to our friend the Justice that he was possessed of a large amount of property; that there were fabulous amounts of money due him from parties in town. The judge mentioned that it would be necessary for him to draw the amount of fifteen dollars from his almost inexhaustible treasury and deposit it with the city funds, to pay for damages caused to the peace and dignity of the town of Anaheim by being drunk and disorderly. The millionaire did not seem to have his funds in very available shape, and was obliged to go out in charge of the officer to borrow the amount aforesaid. —a little boy, the son of Mr. J. J. Dyer, was badly injured on Sunday. Mr. Dyer was taking his family to the picnic grounds in a wagon drawn by a hitherto remarkably quiet horse. The child, three years old, was seated on a stool in the front of the wagon. As they were passing along Sycamore Street near Mr. Kora's residence, the horse suddenly commenced to kick. It is supposed that the horse was stung by something. The first kick struck the child in the back of the head, tearing his skull fearfully. Dr Hardin dressed the wound, and it is thought that he may recover. Gen.

Ex-Secretary of the Culloch concludes a letter to the New York Tribune.

The Knights of the Road have lately chosen this section of country for their operations, much to the disgust of the travellers and stage drivers, and to very little profit to themselves. On Saturday night the stage from Anaheim to San Juan Capistrano was stopped on the San Joquin ranch, at the same spot where the attempt was made which resulted in the shooting of Mr. Smith. Three men, masked, and with their feet tied in sacks to prevent their measure being taken, stepped out into the road from behind a tree and demanded the driver to stop. He stopped the stage and at their request handed down the express box. They then permitted him to drive on. On Sunday Mr. Cliff, the agent of the stage company, and Mr. Barham, Deputy Sheriff, went to the place from whence they came, Vadavistock, in Asiatic Russia. They will coal at a Japanese port. During their stay in our waters the vessels were overhauled and repaired and put generally in better sailing trim. P. D. Wigginton has served his notice of contest before Congress on R. Pacheco, claiming that Pacheco was not entitled to the certificate issued by the Governor; also, that Pacheco did not receive a majority of the votes cast for Congressman in his district; that at least five hundred illegal votes were cast and counted for Pacheco, and that a large number of the votes cast for Wigginton were actually counted for Pacheco. A Self-Sacrificing Politician. Chicago, May 17. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says: Ex-Governor Carpenter, of Iowa, will leave the office of Second Controller of the Treasury under the following circumstances: Some time ago the Cabinet decided that the Pacific Coast should have a representative among the heads of bureaus and, as Iowa has four prominent officers, it was decided to vacate one, and Third Auditor Taber was selected as the person to go. Hearing of this, Carpenter asked whether, if he should resign, Taber would be retained. The Secretary said Yes; whereupon Carpenter formally resigned. Taber is an old man, poor, and an old public officer. Carpenter is young, and he thought he should retire instead of Taber. He will go back to Iowa and resume journalism. Fatal Attack on Revenue Officers. Washington, May 17. J. H. Reeves, Collector of Internal Revenue in Virginia, telegraphs to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, that Collector Josselyn, Deputy Marshal Austin, and three others have been shot in Lee county while inOf course, neither the State of Illinois nor any citizen of it, is allowed under the laws of the United States to manufacture silver, so whatever benefit may accrue from the increased circulation of our subsidiary coins in that State, will be secured by the United States Government if the law goes into effect. It is not at all improbable that considerable demand for silver may spring up in New York with which to make payments in Chicago. The loss to Chicago creditors and business men who would be obliged to receive that subsidiary coin, would be from 15 to 20 per cent. Prominent officers of the Treasury Department believe, if the law actually goes into effect, that it will become so unpopular in Illinois before the meeting of the next Legislature that its repeal will be one of the first acts of that body at its next session. The Wigginton-Pacheco Contest. New York, May 18. The Times says it is evident that the long continued contest for the certificate of election in the Fourth Congressional District of California is intended to make a prima facia case for the Democratic contest. Pacheco is declared elected to Congress by a small majority; so small that Wigginton thought he could destroy it by carrying the case into the courts. After a long conflict the courts decided in favor of Pacheco, and now Wigginton serves a notice on Pacheco that he claims the seat. The Governor who grants the certificate is a Democratic, but the judicial decision compelled him to grant the certificate to the Republican contestant. In such an emergency Clerk Adams, who claims extraordinary powers, will be happy to put Wigginton's name on the House roll. Killed his Teacher Oregon, Mo., May 18. Miss Kingsbury, teacher in a select school, attempted to punish an unruly boy named Wm. Payne, aged 13 years, when he resisted and struck her seagull blows with his fist in the breast, when she immediately returned to her seat, fell over and expired. The Texas Border Troubles. St. Louis, May 21. General Ord passed through here last night from Texas, en route for Chicago, to consult General Sheridan regarding the threatening invasion of Mexico from the Texas border. Several prominent citizens of The Republicans in this section of the county, except there remains of a few pints, do not endorse Hayes' policy. It puts them in mind of Andy Johnson's "my policy" times. They think that Mr. Packard, of Louisiana, has as good a title to the Governorship of that State as Mr. Hayes has to the Presidency of the United States; they also think in the lights of precedents already established by him that he ought, in order to be consistent, withdraw the troops from the territory of Sitting Bull, in order that he may enjoy "local self government." What is sance for the goose is sauce for the gander, etc. The water controversy between the directors of the Semi Tropic Water Co. and Messrs. Fletcher & Toberman was amicably arranged last Friday, to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Mr. Millard F. Parker of Orange was in town last Friday. He reports that suburb in a flourishing condition, except that it is a little dry since the water difficulty commenced and the saloon moved away. The following officers were elected by the "Santa Ana Literary Society" on last Friday, the 11th inst.; President, R. E. Hewitt; Vice-Presidents, Dr. G. T. Mason, and Greenleaf; Secretary, Goo. Gray; Treasurer; G. Spurgeon; Sergeant-at-Arna, Moye Wicks; Executive Committee, Messrs. Featherstone, Forth and Cole. The society meets again at the school house at 8 P.M. on the 18th inst. The uniform of the Sergeant-at-Arms will be decided upon at that meeting. The result of the conference last Friday, in regard to water rights, with Mr. Toberman, shows that their has been "great cry and little wool" for no causeas far as he was concerned. It is a good thing for all concerned that the water will be obtained at once. Mr. H. M. Mitchell has been here for several days prospecting among the Democratic brethren for the nomination for sheriff. We believe that Mr. Mitchell was at one time deputy sheriff, in which position he gave universal satisfaction. If the Republican managers keep up the same idiotic policy that has hitherto governed them in regard to county politics, Mr. Mitchell will carry a heavy vote in this section, outside of his party. Next to a Republican we certainly prefer him to any other man who has yet presented himself for the office. In regard to the Gospel swamp post-office, we beg leave to remind Bro. Barnabys that next to Mr. Spurgeon we were mainly instrumental in securing them the post-office before, which is a better proof to the citizens of Newport of our wishes in the matter than Bro. B.'s insinuations. If Bro. B. would spend half the time in writing to the Assistant Post-Master-General, that he has in whining about it through the papers, he could have had one long ago. In regard to the Times assertion that the Swamp never had a post-office, it is based on ignorance or a desire to mislead. Mr. James Brown kept the office for several months that we know of, and Mr. Jas. Jasper was his deputy. Don't go off half-cocked, gentlemen, before you know what you are talking about. Fritz Reuter had the largest turn-out at his wedding, and the best dinner ever served in Santa Ana. May he live long and prosper. T. J. Harlan and family started East the 18th inst.

Russian Manners. Chicago, May 18. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says that there is much talk about the discountey shown the President by the two Russian Grand Dukes when attending the reception given by Gov. Morgan in New York. They left before the President arrived though the President was mentioned in the invitation card. The reason-given was that the rush was so great; but this is regarded as a weak excuse and Governor Morgan was especially chagrined. Foreign News. New York, May 17. A World's Giurgevo dispatch says: A great battle is impending and already heavy cannonading is in progress. For several days the Russians have been concentrating large forces at this point preparatory to forcing a passage of the Danube. The army is in fine condition and in good spirits. Opposite to us is Rustchuk, where the Turks are in strong force and will resist our advance. It is certain that to-morrow or the day after will witness a bloody struggle. The infantry force is present in great numbers and as I write they are on the march, while great activity prevails in all departments of the army. Severe musketry firing is heard on either side of the Danube. The outposts are exchanging leaden compliments and the rattle is fearfully distinct. Already the Turkish monitors are hurrying towards this spot and the more advanced ones are taking up positions in front of or near to the point where the Russians hope to lay their pontoon bridges. We shall soon see whether their efforts will prevent the progress of that important work.To-night the scene on the Danube is indeed a magnificent one.Shells are bursting in air in the distance the camp-fires lend enchantment to the scene, signal rockets ascend and fall and tell the story of the advancing forces;the cannonade grows heavier,and at this rate it will not take long to destroy Ruschtuk.The place is weakest in the quadrangle of Turkish fortresses.Further down the river the sky is reddened by the flames of burning Turtuka which has been fired by the Russian guns in Obernitz.At will be comparatively easy for the Russians to cross at that point.The headquarters of the left wing is still at Ibrial.News has just reached if Matinah some five miles Oregon, Mo., May 18.

The Pittsburgh,Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company started its first fast train east yesterday afternoon at 4:40.I will reach New York at 10:15 to-night and Boston at 8:35 on Tuesday morning. Christianizing The Chinese. Chicago,May 20. At yesterday's session of the Presbyterian Assembly,the Moderator presented a memorial from thе Presbytery of San Francisco,s asking that he work of evangelizing thе hundred thousand Chinese on thе Pacific Coast commence immediately under thе lead of foreign missions.Its says that this people have established in this Christian country their heaten gods,sacrifices and idolatry,vwith heathen vices which they practice openly in populous cities with impunity.The memorial refers also to thе Chinese prostitutes,and thе excitement of thе public mind of thе Pacific Coast.Its says that thhe church has but one missionary in Los Angeles,一one in San Francisco.Oakland,Portland,San Jose,Sacramento and Virginia City,以 assistants,and with a Church newspaper published in Chinese.They ask that this should not be merely an auxiliary of thе mission in China;that returned ministers be stationed on thе coast as assistants;that mission schools have a theoical class as soon as possible;that if thhe Board of Foreign Missions proves inadequate,the work be transferred to Home Missions.The memorial was signed by Roys,Loomis,Shearer and Patterson.It was referred to a committee of five. Destitution In The Burned District. Waters Town,N.Y.,May 20. Harrowing accounts of suffering and des位 come from thie burned districts，in Clinton county.A large tract of rich farming country has been swept clear of buildings,fences,trees and stock.The crops put in thie ground are destroyed.The people are utterly destitute and helpless,and are without resources. Appointment. Washington,May 20. Col.J.G.Brady,Virginia was too-day appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for Post-Master-General, that he has in whining about it through the papers, he could have had one long ago. In regard to the Times' assertion that the Swamp never had a post-office, it is based on ignorance or a desire to mislead. Mr. James Brown kept the office for several months that we know of, and Mr. Jasper was his deputy. Don't go off half-cocked, gentlemen, before you know what you are talking about. Fritz Reuter had the largest turn-out at his wedding, and the best dinner ever served in Santa Ana. May he live long and prosper. T. J. Harlan and family started East the 18th inst. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch concludes a letter from California to the New York Tribune in this way: What California needs for a development of her great agricultural resources is a division of lands into smaller holdings and the cultivation of a greater variety of crops, which would be the result of such division. There is no kind of grain except Indian corn (the nights are not warm enough for that) which will not grow here; scarcely any kind of fruit which does not attain here the highest perfection. When her farms are reduced from thousands to hundreds of acres, and are held by the many who will probably cultivate them, instead of the few who are exhausting them, California will become—what it has the capacity of becoming—the finest agricultural State in the Union. Meanwhile San Francisco will be subject to the disadvantage of being mainly dependant for its home trade upon a country sparsely peopled, but which is capable of supporting, and generously supporting, a dense population. The growth of the city must in a great degree correspond with the growth of the country, of which it is the commercial and trade centre, and this must be allow as long as a comparatively small number of men, few of whom are practical farmers, are the owners of the great body of the choice lands. Gen. Sheridan, soon after "Sheridan's Ride" was written, said to a friend, "If the writer had seen the horse he never would have written the poetry." It was a young, gaunt, and ugly animal, with a gait which nobody but Sheridan could endure. Visitors often came to camp with letters to the Gen., insisting on "seeing things," greatly to his annoyance, and he would for a "mount," sometimes give them this horse, and often enjoying their agony would quietly say: "That animal does not seem to agree with you; suppose we change saddles." The General's chief of staff said that there was something in the humor of the horse which speedily pleased its owner, and added, "But you should have seen Sheridan ride him one day when he had the toothache." Destitution in the Burned District. Watertown, N. Y., May 20. Harrowing accounts of suffering and destitution come from the burned districts, in Clinton county. A large tract of rich farming country has been swept clear of buildings, fences, trees and stock. The crops put in the ground are destroyed. The people are utterly destitute and helpless, and are without resources. Appointment. Washington, May 20. Col. J. G. Brady, of Virginia, was to-day appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the second Virginia district, in place of Geo. S. Richards, originally of Maine, but who has been holding office in Virginia for the past twelve years.
