A horse, which Mr. Mitchell valued quite highly, received a fearful blow which severed the fore and aft legs from the body. The wind carried the severed parts to parts unknown, and Mr. Mitchell will pay a suitable reward for their recovery. If they do not turn up, Gooch must paint another sign.

The following items are from the Los Niston Valley Courier: We understand a committee are soliciting subscriptions in aid of a proper celebration of the Fourth of July. A team belonging to Mr. Branscom became frightened on Tuesday last, and ran through our streets at fearful speed. Mr. Branscom was thrown out and quite severely injured...Dr. Fulton has returned from San Francisco, and will soon have his bath house on the famous sulphur well, in running order. A commodious hotel will soon be opened...Professor Monroe, of Santa Rosa College, who was here some time ago, is again paying our section a visit. It may be recollected that on his previous visit the subject of the establishment of a college here was agitated, but nothing was accomplished. We understand Professor Monroe's visit here at this time is for the object of ascertainting what the prospects would be for such an institution. An order for the arrest of Mr. L. Welch of Las Bolsas was made yesterday, charging him with perjury in the case of the People va. Clark, which was tried before Justice Bailey some time ago. In the case of F. G. Mitchell vs. J. E. Goodrich, a suit to recover one hundred dollars, before Justice Bailey yesterday, judgment in favor of the plaintiff for one hundred dollars and costs was rendered. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: One bundle pelts, 11 kegs beer, 12 sacks potatoes, 8 boxes soda bottles, 2 boxes eggs, 1 pkg beeswax, 1 bar iron, 5 cars sheep. Yesterday a gentleman hung a thermometer in front of our office, in the shade, and kept a record of the temperature. At 10 o'clock A.M. the mercury indicated 104°; at 10:30, 107°; at 11, 110°; at 11:30, 109°; at 12, 108½°; at 2 P.M., 109½°. The Mess country is a good place for a newspaper correspondent just now. We asked a party from that section yesterday, what the news was. He replied, "We can give you any kind of news you want; there is murder, horse stealing, perjury, rape and other amusements going on continually." An accident happened to Mr. Knapke yesterday. As he was riding along Centre Street, the horse turned suddenly, throwing him violently on the ground, and bruising him severely. He was immediately conveyed to the residence of Kroeger when he was attended by Dr. Jaa Ellis. We have on exhibition one of Culter's patent rod couplers, for the use of artesian well borers. We have already alluded to the merits of this invention, which is destined to entirely superede the clumsy contrivance now used. Those interested are invited to call at our office and inspect the coupler. The quarterly examination of teachers closed Saturday. R. W. Ready, C. W. Moores, T. K. McDowell, E.P. Bread, Miss Clara R. Tullia, Miss M. R. Bailey, Miss Alice Connor, John D. James, Miss Mary E. Squires, W. H. Beal and A. B. McPherson received certificates. There were thirty-three applicants,, the largest number ever before the Board at one time. A rumor prevailed in town yesterday to the effect that the pits on the Bras ranch were on fire; but the report has been contradicted. The immense column of smoke seen from the city was caused by the burning of the brush and wood on the Cahenege range. The fires started on the east side of the mountains, and spread northwesterly, sweeping the surface bare. Last evening they reached the vicinity of the San Vicente canyon, and were still moving on, licking up the trees and shrubbery. These fires have helped to intensify the extraordinary heat of the weather the past three days, and the wind from that direction reminded one of the hot airs of the desert.—Express. Yesterday afternoon a man, with face partially hidden by a mask, rode up to a Chinaman employed on Mr. B. W. Scott's farm near town, pointed a pistol at the head of the astonished celestial, and in a style which would have done credit to Joaquin Murietta, or Vasquez, commanded him to give up his money or die. The Chinaman had about five dollars in silver which he yielded up to the highwayman, who then rode off toward town. It is pretty well known who the robber was, and it is certain that this section will not be a safe one for future operations. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: R G McGibbon, 2 boxes fruit; G Hinds, 4 pkgs trees; G C Hull, 1 mattress; R B, 15 beer kegs; C D Harris, 1 kg sugar; J W Anderson & Co., 1 horse hoe; J J Hill, 1 box ice; S Gray, 1 pkg ice; P Granet, 1 pkg ice; C & W, 45 pkgs mdse; R T Yarndley, 1 case millinery; W C Co, 1 case dry goods; Beebe, 2 boxes mdse; Heimann & Sorenson, 5 pkgs mdse.

Looking after the Indian Agents. WASHINGTON, June 8. Secretary Schurz yesterday, by order, created a Board consisting of Dr. Richard Joseph, Disburring Clark of the Interior Department, T. B. Farrell, Chief of a Division in the Second Comptroller's office in the Treasury Department, and Amos Hadley, of the Interior Department, to examine into the methods now in force in the Finance and Accounting Divisions of the Indian Bureau, especially as to the analysis of themoney and property accounts of the Indian Agents, and whether the accounts of agents are rendered in accordance with the laws and regulations; whether any expenditures are made without the proper authority, and whether the present system is such as to show at all times the condition of money and property affairs at each agency. The last quarterly reports of the agents are to be carefully scrutinized for the purpose above mentioned, and a particular examination will be made as to the number and compensation of employees at each agency, and whether they are given or allowed to purchase subsistence or clothing in violation of law. The Board are also instructed to examine as to the character and total money value of special purchases for any agency during the present fiscal year, and whether such purchases have been properly accounted for. The Board are not to be limited by these specific instructions, but are to make such further investigation as may be deemed proper for the best interests of the service. Present to Hayes. WASHINGTON, June 7. The President this morning received a large bust of himself in terra cotta from the Louisiana Constitutional Union Association. The present was sent as a mark of appreciation of his Southern policy. The bust was placed in the library of the Executive Mansion. Dissatisfied. NEW YORK, June 7. The terms of payment of Sweeney's $400,000 are $150,000 down and the rest in 30 days. The World denounces the settlement penetrate to Nomic. If he should be defeated, his army will extricate itself with great difficulty, and will risk total destruction. VIENNA, June 11. No news has been received from Montenegro. Both sides are evidently making preparations to deal a decisive blow, and the difficult task of forcing an entrance from Dugas pass into the plain of Niesic still remains for Sueliman Pasha. In this neither Ali Saib nor Nehemed Ali can assist him much. On June 8th firing was heard on the heights of Korinae, from which it would appear that the Montenegrin force from Bohavia had made a movement against the garrison of Trehirie and Klokeik. BERLIN, June 10. The German ironclad squadron on its way to the East has been ordered to proceed with greater speed. A second practice squadron of seven vessels is about to be formed. The Admiralty are preparing to enlist additional seamen. No persons liable to service in the navy are permitted to leave their districts. Terrific Explosion. SAN FRANCISCO, June 8. The Hermules Powder Works, located between the Almahouse and Golden Gate Park, were totally destroyed by an explosion at noon to-day, in the nitro-glycerine house. The workmen had all gone to dinner in a house some three hundred yards distant from the works, and had just reached the dining-room when the explosion took place. The report was heard for a great distance. The glycerine house was blown to atoms,and small pieces of wood were blown several hundred feet. The ground in the vicinity of the works are strown with debris which is as fine as if it had passed through a quartz crushing machine. The concussion of atmosphere was so great that the windows and doors were forced in at several thousand yards distant. The windows in the rear of the white house were broken,and every house in the vicinity bears marks of the terrific force of the explosion. The Superintendent of the works, Jas. Browning was in town at the time the explosion took place. Two men only were employed in the glycerine room and they had run off. The foreman had charge of 500 pounds of glycerine. Board of Supervisors. THURSDAY, June 7. Boardmet. Present—Hannon, Spurgeon, Young and Morton. Report of Committee on Santa Monica and Compton roads received and filed. Petition of citizens of Bolsa Grande School District to be attached to Garden Grove District, granted. Petition of a road to Trabuco canyon—James Irvine gives right of way, and road declared a public highway.

The County Clerk was authorized to advertise for proposals for printing Great Register and election blanks. Adjourned until July 2d. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. J. C. Hickey and family are rusticating in the Los Bolsas Canyon on the bee ranch formerly owned by Layman & Caldwell. Mr. Geo. Grey is the sole lessee of the Santa Ana meat market. Dr. Jones is the local agent of the much denounced Immigration Bureau. In the case of the People against W. H. Titchenal, the latter was put under bonds to appear before the Grand Jury. Never Sweat block went his security. Judge McGibbon keeps a gallery in his court for the accommodation of the boys. Gen. Smith threatened to fine some of them for snapping grains of corn in his face while enjoying a nap and performing the official duties of his high office. Mr. Miller is putting a new boiler in his steam mill. Mr. Forbes of Sacramento is visiting this part of the county for his health; he is stopping with his son in Gospel Swamp. The juries in the case of Jassen vs. Beck failed to agree in both trials, standing on first ballots 9 to 3 and 8 to 4 for acquital, both hanging 6 to 6 finally. The principal reason that there are no more convictions by juries in this place is that three-fourths of the prosecutions are based, not upon a desire to punish a person who is guilty of a crime, but upon some personal petty feeling some person may have or entertain against another. Whenever law officers, or persons who assume to represent the people of California, do not make it apparent to every intelligent, law-abiding citizen of the community that their motives are governed by an earnest desire to see the laws executed in good faith, then, and not until then, will they get in the habit of convicting anybody. They are right in not convicting any person upon any charge in order to gratify a petty, malicious feeling of any person against another. Santa Ana is a variety town, composed of a variety of people engaged in a variety of occupations, especially the M. D.'s. For instance; Dr. Bailey, medicine and life insurance; Dr. Mason, surgery and lumber; Dr. Jones, eye, land and throat; Dr. Kimball, drugs, calicos, corn-drops, shoes, galvanic batteries, etc.; Dr. Cummins, drugs, forty-times. Present to Hayes. WASHINGTON, June 7. The President this morning received a large bust of himself in terra cotta from the Louisiana Constitutional Union Association. The present was sent as a mark of appreciation of his Southern policy. The bust was placed in the library of the Executive Mansion. Dissatisfied. NEW YORK, June 7. The terms of payment of Sweeney's $400,000 are $150,000 down and the rest in 30 days. The World denounces the settlement of the suits against Sweeney. It say it will not do for the public prosecutor in these ring suits to wrap himself up in mysterious reserve like a foreign minister on the floor of the English House of Commons, and assert that the public service will not permit him to answer questions. Great public suits cannot be managed like a caucus. The people of the city of New York, who are the plaintiffs in the suits against Sweeney, have every reason to be disgusted with the settlement of the suits, the terms of which are kept from them, and may well be convinced, as they are fast coming to be convinced, that the ring suits have been used as a mere means to ends of political combinations and political schemers. All the journals regard the settlement of the Sweeney suit as a broad political farce. The Motive. NEW YORK, June 8. The World's Washington special says that the attempts recently made to burn the Navy Department buildings were for the purpose of destroying certain valuable documents and papers which furnished evidence of extraordinary transactions. It is intimated that Secretary Low, at the head of the Department, will soon distinguish himself by furnishing an expose of the conspiracy. The evidence is near at hand. Presidential Appointments. WASHINGTON, June 8. The President today appointed A. D. Hazel, of Pennsylvania, Third Assistant Post Master General, vice E. W. Barber, resigned, to take effect June 30th. The President also signed the commission of Jas. Gilfilan to be U.S. Treasurer, and A. U. Wyman to be Assistant Treasurer, the appointments to take effect the first proximo. Fatal Accident. SCRANTON, Pa., June 8. A number of mine accidents of a serious nature occurred in this neighborhood yesterday, resulting in two deaths and five bad injuries. En Route for Oregon. CHICAGO, June 8. Senator Morton is ill. In company with Senator Bayard he passed through Champaign, Ill., on Wednesday, on his way to Oregon. He appeared much worn out and weared. He left Omaha yesterday morning. Brewers' Convention. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 8. The U.S. Brewers' Convention yesterday adopted resolutions pledging the members to the works are strenued with debris which is as fine as if it had passed through a quartz crushing machine. The concussion of atmosphere was so great that the windows and doors were forced in at several thousand yards distant. The windows in the rear of the white house were broken, and every house in the vicinity bears marks of the terrific force of the explosion. The Superintendent of the works, Jas. Browning was in town at the time the explosion took place, Two men only were employed in the glycerine room and they had run off. The foreman had charge of 500 pounds of glycerine, which he had deposited in the soda tanks in readiness to be converted into powder before leaving for dinner. This was all the exposed material there was in the building. There are from 23 to 25 hands employed in and about the works, mostly Chinamen, and fortunately they were fall at dinner. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. Mr. Browning is at a loss to account for it. He is not aware of any irregularities about the promises and the foreman of the works is in equal doubt. No work was in progress at the time, and no person was aboutthe building. The valley to the north of the works is strewn with glycerine cans and other use less articles. The buildings belonging to the glycerine works were cheaply constructed, and probably $15,000 will cover the actual loss of property. These works were destroyed by an explosion some two and a half years ago. Fatal Fire at Bridgeport. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., June 9. The most disastrous fire ever experienced here occurred last night. At 11:30 a light was discovered in the fourth story of Glover, Sanford & Sons' factory. The alarm was sounded and the whole fire department responded. The water supply proved insufficient, and the fire thereby obtained the mastery. The flames were first seen in the dyeing and mixing room in the northeast corner of the third story of the main building, and running along that floor were communicated by a dummy to the stories below. The main building was 280 feet long and 50 feet wide, and four and a half stories high. While the volunteers were removing goods from the office, the back and front walls of one story structure suddenly and without warning fell out, leaving the two highest walls unsupported. The one adjoining the office leaned outward, and as a shriek went up from the spectators, fell upon the roof of the office, crushing through to the basement, and burying those within. One man who escaped stated that there were a dozen men in the ruins. Already eleven bodies have been recovered, nearly all fearfully crushed and more or less burned. At the same time the east wall also fell, carrying fire into the wing 110 feet long and 50 feet wide. This was also completely destroyed, together with the engine and boiler rooms adjoining. The walls fell about 12:30. As soon as possible search for the missing commenced, but it was 3 o'clock before the first body was recovered. The next hour eight were found and Santa Ana is a variety town, composed of a variety of people engaged in a variety of occupations, especially the M. D.'s. For instance, Dr. Bailey, medicine and life insurance; Dr. Mason, surgery and lumber; Dr. Jones, eye, land and throat; Dr. Kimball, drugs, calcins, corn-drops, shoes, galvanic batteries, etc.; Dr. Cummins, drugs, forty-gallon Baptists, and leeches; Dr. Rowan, medicine and gold prospector; Dr. Burtnett, medicine, law and whisky ginger. The way men are arrested in Santa Ana is to order them to "disperse." You had better commence practising that feat now, because you don't know when you might be arrested. We tender this advice gratis, because we were ordered to "disperse" the other day, without previous warning, and we started fourteen different ways at once, and the effort laid us up for over a week. The never sweat boss commenced another malicious prosecution suit against the undersigned on the 31st inst. We don't like to fight, but we shall follow the advice that old Polonius gave to his son Laertes: "Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in, bear it that the oppressor may beware of thee." The wind from the desert last Friday was the hottest and blew the hardest that the "oldest inhabitant" wot of. Another one like it will make a desert of this part of the country or any other portion it may visit. Several persons who were confined to their beds from sickness, experienced a rapid change for the worse, which could only be attributed to the effects of this scorching tornado. The doctors of this vicinity are under many obligations to Mr. Kimball—who keeps a variety store—for visiting their patients and distributing pamphlets recommending batteries, and his volunteering to give them a "shock." Such conduct is highly landable! They also return thanks to sunny individuals who visit patients in a critical condition, and talk, tattle and gossip to them as though they thought the patient could stand more off that when seriously ill than when in good health. Politics are at a stand-still over here. Chas. Wilcox and Gao. Freeman are favorably mentioned by the Republicans for the Assembly. The probabilities are that straight-out nominations will be made for the township offices by the Republicans, because that organization has a good working majority in it. This is the desire of the more radical portion of the Republicans: "We shall see what we shall see." June 10th, 1877. En Route for Oregon. Chicago. June 8. Senator Morton is ill. In company with Senator Bayard he passed through Champaign, Ill., on Wednesday, on his way to Oregon. He appeared much worn out and wearied. He left Omaha yesterday morning. Brewers' Convention. Milwaukee, Wis., June 8. The U.S. Brewers' Convention yesterday adopted resolutions pledging the members to oppose all candidates for office who seek the support of the Temperance organizations, and to defend beer as a beverage everywhere. The Convention adjourned to meet in Baltimore next June. Foreign News. London, June 8. Oxford University has offered ex-President Grant the honorary degree of D. C. L. The General attended the Prince of Wales' levee yesterday. Rome, June 8. The Pope to-day received many deputations of Pilgrims, including one from New York. He praised the faith displayed by the pilgrims in this skeptical age. The report that the Pope has conferred an order on President MacMahon is denied. Belgrade, June 8. It is said that the Servian General Protch, who has just returned from a mission to Vienna, has given assurances there that Servia will observe the strictest neutrality, in the hope that Austria and Russia will, when peace is concluded, protect Servian interests. Horrible Turkish outrages are reported, particularly from Natillazan, in old Servia. The Servians are much excited. London, June 11. A correspondent at Montenegrin headquarters says: Reports that a provision train for Govansko was captured are unfounded. The fortress was revictualed after four hours' fighting. This success enables the Suleiman Pasha to concentrate his force for an attack on Gen. Vukovish's position in Duga Pass. The Montenegrin army will be concentrated to meet him, and the battle will be decisive of the fate of Niciae. It is thought probable that Suleiman, though losing heavily, will the office, crushing through to the basement, and burying those within. One man who escaped stated that there were a dozen men in the ruins. Already eleven bodies have been recovered, nearly all fearfully crushed and more or less burned. At the same time the east wall also fell, carrying fire into the wing 110 feet long and 50 feet wide. This was also completely destroyed, together with the engine and boiler rooms adjoining. The walls fell about 12:30. As soon as possible search for the missing commenced, but it was 3 o'clock before the first body was recovered. During the next hour eight were found and by 10:30 two others had been taken from the ruins. The bodies were placed in boxes, awaiting the action of the Coroner's Jury. Washington, June 9. The Cabinet yesterday discussed the Utah troubles at some length. The opinions of United States Attorney Howard of that Territory, who is now here in regard to prosecutions for complicity in the Mountain Meadow Massacre, were fully considered. It was agreed that the United States authorities there should proceed with firmness in these prosecutions, that all offenders may be brought to justice. Should the Mormons make and attempt to prevent the punishment of their leaders the Government will see that a sufficient force is sent to the Territory to enforce the decrees of the Courts, but it is not believed that there will be any trouble. The Secretary of State read a communication just received by him from our Minister to Mexico, to the effect that the Mexican authorities will co-operate with the United States authorities on the Rio Grande, to prevent raids into Texas and break up cattle stealing in that section. Another Big Blaze. Galveston, Texas June 8. This morning a fire broke out in the New York Restaurant, on Market street, and was not extinguished until it had destroyed nearly all the buildings between Market street and the bay; and Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. After consuming a number of shops and stores on Market street, the fire crossed to the Southern Hotel, Murphy & Brockleman's hardware establishment and several fram buildings on the south side of Mechanic Street; crossing Mechanic Street, the old Washington Hotel, the Odd Fellows' Hall, If he should be defeat itself with great total destruction.

The total number of buildings destroyed is twenty-six. The loss is estimated at from two to three million dollars. An Appeal for Aid. MR. CARNEIL, June 9. The calamity which has befallen this city has not been overstated. Fourteen blocks of beautiful homes and business houses in ruins, a hundred families homeless and helpless, a score of dead, and over seventy badly hurt. in a population of 2500, and a loss of not less than $200,000, is too heavy a load for this striken people to bear alone, and help must come from the country at large. Any aid from cities or towns that may be sent to E. Gordon, Mayor, or Judge T. J. Shannon, of the banking house of Shannon & Beal, Chairman of the Relief Committee, will be faithfully appropriated toward meeting the wants of those who are worthy and needy. Lord Dunraven has just remitted $100 to the Halifax (N. S.) authorities, to pay a fine imposed upon him for violating the game laws during his visit to Nova Scotia last year. The Omaha Herald gives its moral support to the Turks as against the Russians, because the former have the most humanity, the most religion, the most civilization and the most wives. A Massachusetts physician told a patient that the medicine he prescribed would cost $5. The patient said that he was poor and couldn't afford it. "Oh well," said the doctor briskly. "I'll give you something that will do just as well and won't cost half as much." Among the interesting facts which have been developed by the careful study of ants is the existence of piracy among them. Mr. McCook has noticed that ants descending from trees with abdomens full of honey dew were waiting for by workers from the hill, seeking for food, and compelled to disgorge their accumulations. If this was not done willingly, force was used. The Republicans expect to carry Connecticut next Fall. The election, however, is only for the Legislature, the present State officers holding over until January lst, 1879. J.C.HILL, Given satisfaction in all numbers of House Painting.
