Ryan wells in this neighborhood receded three feet or more, and the water in both rivers suffered a very perceptible evaporation. We had a pleasant call this week from Prof. Monroe, of Santa Rosa, who is here to ascertain the prospects for the establishment of a College in this town. So far he has met with considerable encouragement, citizens of the town and vicinity expressing their willingness to subscribe liberally towards the establishment of such an institution here. It is proposed to erect a handsome three-story building, of brick or wood, to cost about nine thousand dollars. We understand Judge Crawford has liberally offered to donate ten acres of land, which will be laid off and beautifully improved, and the location is all that could be desired.... A short time since an item went the rounds of the papers, stating that an old gentleman traveling on the cars recently, when near this place, threw from the car window a bag of money; and that he left the cars at this station, and considerable speculation was indulged in. An explanation is now in order to clear up the mystery. The bag, which contained silver, was thrown from the car window by Dr. Dobson, one of our well known citizens, when opposite his dwelling, near the railroad track, and was immediately picked up by his daughter.[A correspondent of the Gazette saw the action alluded to, and his account of the transaction was extensively copied.] [FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.] —In Los Angeles yesterday the S.

[FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY.] Mr. Barney Cohn was among the arrivals from Los Angeles last night. The regular annual meeting of the Cemetery Association will be held this afternoon. There was but one passenger on the train for Los Angeles yesterday morning. A horse was stolen from the ranch of Prosper Dihort on the night of June 14th. A reward is offered for his capture. Mr. Hanna now delivers milk in the evening as well as in the morning. His largely increasing number of customers made this step necessary. Prof. W.P.MeDonald, of Downey City, has accepted the invitation to read the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July at the picnic at Cowan's Grove. The shipments from the depot this morning were: Seven cars sheep, 1 case heney, 1 sewing machine, 1 box drugs, 1 bbl vinegar, 2 boxes bottles, 1 box butter, 190 sks barley, 20 sks potatoes, 30 dry hides, 5 green hides, 6 kegs beer.

A troupe of Yaqui Indians gave a performance at Manuel Arvello's house on Friday evening. It is said that their exhibition was quite interesting. The shipments from the depot this morning were: Three empty boxes, 1 box hardware, 6 cars sheep, 1 box butter, 1 piano, 1 box household goods, 1 car brea. We understand that a petition to abolish the town government is being circulated among the citizens. It will be necessary to obtain the signatures of three-fourths of the voting population in order to accomplish it. The Anaheim Cemetery Association held a meeting at the Town Hall yesterday afternoon. It was ordered that notice be sent to every member of the Association, and that a general meeting be held on Saturday, June 30th at 2 o'clock P.M. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: R.B, 10 beer kegs; J B Sabaret, 1 barrel and one keg wine; McFadden Bros, 1 piece pipe; J J Hill, 1 box ice; C E French, 5 pkgs mdse; L Gilmacher, 11 pkgs oil. At a meeting of the Agricultural Society held in Los Angeles on Friday, a resolution was adopted to extend to the Southern California Horticultural Society facilities for an annual exhibition in connection with the display of the Agricultural Society. Express: The complaint of Lawrence Welch against the settlers on the Bolsa Grande has been dismissed. Welch was kicked on the head some time since by a mule, and is thought to be weak-minded. In Court he stated that the men had not threatened to hang him, but he "thought from their manner that they might do it." A man called at Justice Bailey's house, Friday evening, during his absence, and stated that he had been sent by her husband to get fifty dollars to bring him to the court-room. Mrs. Bailey remarked that it was strange that the Judge should send for money when he had taken all there was in the house with him when he left. The scoundrel finding that there was nothing to be made by the ruse, left the premises in disgust. Quite an excitement was created in town yesterday by the news that an attempt had been made at highway robbery. We give the facts as near as we could gather them. About noon a Chinaman came into town in search of an officer, stating that while he was near the residence of Mr.W.Parker, on Centre Street, a Mexican mounted upon a white or grey horse, rode up to him and presenting a pistol, demanded his money. The Celestial gentleman immediately handed fifty cents to the desperado, who rode off toward Upper Santa Ana. Deputy Sheriff Barbara was destroyed by fire on Friday.

The following items are from the Los Nietos Valley Courier: Mr. W. W. Allen writes to Mr. Fagan from Washington that the prospects are the settlers upon Las Bolas manch will get their rights. The Secretary of the Interior is examining into the matter, and has no doubt fraud has been practiced. Additional evidence has been forwarded to Mr. Allen, which it is thought will prove conclusive... The corn plantations in this valley are said to have suffered considerably during the late heated spell, the intense heat causing the leaves to shrivel up so that they might be crushed to powder in the hand. It is likely, however, that the ears were not injured. Vegetables of all kinds suffered severely... Mr. Tracy, special agent of the Money Order Department of the Post Office, was here this week making the necessary arrangements to inaugurate the money order branch of our post office. Anaheim and Santa Ana are to be made money order offices... We understand that during the late heated spell the water in nearly all the —Quite an excitement was created in town yesterday by the news that an attempt had been made at highway robbery. We give the facts as near as we could gather them. About noon a Chinaman came into town in search of an officer, stating that while he was near the residence of Mr. W. Parker, on Centre Street, a Mexican mounted upon a white or grey horse, rode up to him and presenting a pistol, demanded his money. The Celestial gentleman immediately handed fifty cents to the desperado, who rode off toward Upper Santa Ana. Deputy Sheriff Barham, Constable Pullen and the Chinaman started in pursuit of the robber, but were unable to trace him beyond the Santa Ana river. A short time afterward Mr. Pete Griffin came into Justice Bailey's court and stated that an attempt had been made to rob him while passing along Palm Street. The robber snapped a pistol twice at him and succeeded in firing it once, the ball passing quite close to Mr. Griffin's face. A party by the name of Coso has been arrested, whom Mr. Griffin describes as being the man. As Mr. Griffin was laboring under too much excitement to give his testimony, Justice Bailey ordered that Coso should be taken in charge by the Constable, and make his appearance before the Court on Monday. [FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.] A Signal Service Station will be established in Los Angeles by the 1st of July. It is stated that nearly 30,000 sheep perished on the Colorado desert during the late hot weather. Mr. E. W. Squires informs us that several hundred of his apple trees were badly injured by the heat. A large number of them will die. A fire caught on Sunday in the rear of the building formerly used by the Gazette. The fire was extinguished without the aid of our efficient Fire Company. Mr. J Banneracheldt has been appointed local agent for Culter's patent red-compler, and is now prepared to fill orders for that useful invention. The members of the Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. & A. M. are to have a celebration on St. John's Day, June 24th. The master has been placed in the hands of an efficient committee and will without doubt be a success. The election of a Trustee for Anaheim School District, will take place on Saturday, June 30th, between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Mr. Th. Rimpan is the retiring Trustee. Bro. Morton of the Santa Ana Times, joined his name to the list of married editors on Sunday last. The bride was Mrs. M. M. Rice, of Santa Ana. We extend our best wishes to the newly wedded couple. The shipments from the depot this morning were: 17 bales wool, 6 sks beans, 2 kegs wine, 1 box hardware, 8 cases eggs, 1 barrel, 1 empty half-barrel, 1 gasoline tank, 8 kegs beer. The team attached to the mail wagon ran away last evening while Mr. Lewis was loading the mail at the car. Mr. Lewis was thrown from the wagon but not injured. The horses were captured before they could do any damage. We stood on Los Angeles street yesterday afternoon and counted nine dogs without the required license tag upon their neck. We think that a little strychnine judiciously distributed among these curs would be more effectual than the dog ordinance. A very pleasant picnic party assembled at Santiago Canyon on Sunday. The day was devoted to pleasure and rest. An elegant dinner was prepared by the ladies of the party and the affair was not marred by any unpleasant accident. Gov. Downey recommends the native California rye grass as a substitute for Kentucky blue grass for lawns. The dry atmosphere and rapid evaporation in this section makes the task of keeping the blue grass in its verdant lustre an impossibility. From a letter received by Mr. L. Parker we are informed that a large area of land in Stearn's County, Minn., has been entirely devastated by the grasshoppers, and that many of the inhabitants are actually suffering for the necessities of life. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: L G, 1 iron June 12th, says: The seventeenth-year locals are here in abundance. They keep up a disagreeable humming noise, but the farmers do not think they will be dangerous in destroying the crops. Turkeys and chickens feast on them, and consequently it will be a good year for poultry. Marriage of a Californian. Newport, R. L., June 14. President D.-C. Gilman, formerly of the California University, was married here last evening to Miss Lillis Woolsey, niece of President Woolsey, of Yale College, and sister of Susan Cooledge, the well known authorea. The wedding party was confined to the family and a few prominent literary friends. Mr. Gillman and wife sail for Europe in a few days. Foreign News. Ezekoum, June 15. The Russians have made a determined attack on Kara. The fighting last during Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Muscovite troops were repulsed with great slaughter. Sickness, especially typhus, causes great gaps in the Turkish ranks in Asia than the volunteers are able to fill np. During the last six months at least 10,000 men have died in the hospitals. Pera, June 15. The Lieutenant commanding the Russian Sulina torpedo expedition, who is a prisoner, says that the Russians have seventeen steam torpedo launchers on the Black Sea, and that they may resume the attack any day. London, June 14. In the House of Commons to-day Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated that Russia's reply to England's intimation forbidding the exercise of belligerent rights in the Suez Canal, was to the effect that Russia would neither blockade, intercept nor menace navigation of the Canal in any manner. He added that replies from the Porte and the Khedive to British communications on the subject had not been received. The Earl of Derby, Stafford Northcote. Lord Aberdeen, Viscount Cardwell, Lord Tenterden, and Right Hon. Mr. Foster, with their wives, have given notice of their intention to be present at Guild Hall to-day, when next Democratic candidate for the Presidency is gathering considerable head. It is privately declared that Tilden's friends pledged Handricks the next nomination before he agreed to accept the second place at the St. Louis convention, but Handricks' friends think that Tilden is still in the field, unless the next Congress takes steps to seat him in Hayes' place, of which some agitators madly dream. South Carolina Unreconstructed. Chicago, June 16. A Journal's Washington special says: Chief Justice Waite has just returned from South Carolina. He says that during his three week's stay in Charleston not a single social call was made on him or his daughter by the ex-rebel element. He was treated more like an outcast and criminal than a gentleman. His views as to the South Carolina rebels having become thoroughly reconstructed and disposed to accept in good faith the situation, have been materially modified. Judge Waite's friends here are indignant and the President and Cabinet seem greatly astonished. His friends say that he expressed the opinion that conviction should have followed the conclusive evidence of the Ellerton riots. He was treated with marked respect by the citizens of Greensboro and Raleigh, N.C. where he held Court. Mormon Missionaries for Europe New York, June 15. The steamer Montana took out for missionary work in Europe eighteen elders of the Mormon Church from Utah. No women or children accompanied them. All the dignitaries of Brigham Young's church were present to bid them farewell. Cats, Tomatoes and Suicide. Washington, June 16. Robert Richer, a long time clerk in the Quartermaster-General's office, quarreled with his wife about her cat and kittens breaking down his flowers, and remarked, "If you don't keep those kittens out of the garden I will kill them." His wife answered, "If you do I will tear up all your tomato vines." Richer then began to beat the cat, and his wife to tear up the vines. Richer then placed a revolver to his forehead and explained "You see me" shot himself in the BY TELEGRAPH. The "Policy Approved." WASHINGTON, June 15. Several delegations from different parts of the South have visited the President within a few days, and have without exception assured the President of the hearty acquiescence of the people of their respective stations in the policy which they understand is guiding the administration, in so far as it relates to the control of offices in the Southern States. Issue of Silver. WASHINGTON, June 15. The issue of one and two dollar greenbacks was discontinued at the Treasury, mainly to induce banks and individuals to take and put into circulation silver coin. Silver is now going rapidly out of the Treasury, at the rate of about a million dollars a month, and the full greenback fund of ten million dollars authorized by law is so well assured that the Treasurer will probably soon resume the shipment of ones and twos in moderate amounts. It is impossible, on account of the smallness of the appropriation for transporting Government funds, to supply Assistant Treasurers with notes for exchange, and some of the local inconvenience arising from the lack of small notes must be laid to the comparatively small amount appropriated. Items from New York. NEW YORK, June 14. Tweed's friends are indignant at the way he has been treated. His statement, made to the Attorney-General under pledge of California rye grass as a substitute for Kentucky blue grass for lawns. The dry atmosphere and rapid evaporation in this section makes the task of keeping the blue grass in its verdant lustre an impossibility. —From a letter received by Mr. L. Parker we are informed that a large area of land in Stearn's County, Minn., has been entirely devastated by the grasshoppers, and that many of the inhabitants are actually suffering for the necessaries of life. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: L G, 1 iron safe; G H L, 8 pkgs mdse; C & W, 1 butter box, 1 pkge shoes; Alward Bros, 40 sks flour, 2 pkgs mdse; Melrose & Athearn, 1 box mdse; Edwards & Rowe, 1 pkge ice; Granet, 1 pkge ice. —An examination was held before Justice Bailey yesterday in the case of the attempted robbery of Mr. Peter Griffin by Francisco Cose. Strong proof was brought forward by the defendant that he was not in the vicinity of Santa Ana street at the time the crime was committed, and he was consequently discharged. It was strongly believed from the evidence in the case that Mr. Griffin's naturally brilliant brain and fervid imagination were the cause of the larger portion of his troubles. The "Policy Approved." WASHINGTON, June 16. Several delegations from different parts of the South have visited the President within a few days, and have without exception assured the President of the hearty acquiescence of the people of their respective stations in the policy which they understand is guiding the administration, in so far as it relates to the control of offices in the Southern States.

It is impossible, on account of the smallness of the appropriation for transportating Government funds, to supply Assistant Treasurers with notes for exchange, and some of the local inconvenience arising from the lack of small notes must be laid to the comparatively small amount appropriated. Items from New York. NEW YORK, June 14. Tweed's friends are indignant at the way he has been treated. His statement, made to the Attorney-General under pledge of California rye grass as a substitute for Kentucky blue grass for lawns. The dry atmosphere and rapid evaporation in this section makes the task of keeping the blue grass in its verdant lustre an impossibility. —From a letter received by Mr. L. Parker we are informed that a large area of land in Stearn's County, Minn., has been entirely devastated by the grasshoppers, and that many of the inhabitants are actually suffering for the necessaries of life. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: L G, 1 iron safe; G H L, 8 pkgs mdse; C & W, 1 butter box, 1 pkge shoes; Alward Bros, 40 sks flour, 2 pkgs mdse; Melrose & Athearn, 1 box mdse; Edwards & Rowe, 1 pkge ice; Granet, 1 pkge ice. —An examination was held before Justice Bailey yesterday in the case of the attempted robbery of Mr. Peter Griffin by Francisco Cose. Strong proof was brought forward by the defendant that he was not in the vicinity of Santa Ana street at the time the crime was committed, and he was consequently discharged. It was strongly believed from the evidence in the case that Mr. Griffin's naturally brilliant brain and fervid imagination were the cause of the larger portion of his troubles. BY TELEGRAPH. Cats, Tomatoes and Suicide. WASHINGTON, June 16. Robert Richer, a long time clerk in the Quartermaster-General's office, quarreled with his wife about her cat and kittens breaking down his flowers, and remarked, "If you don't keep those kittens out of the garden I will kill them." His wife answered, "If you do I will tear up all your tomato vines." Richer then began to beat the cat, and his wife to tear up the vines. Richer then placed a revolver to his forehead and exclaimed, "You see me," shot himself in the head and instantly expired. He was appointed from Missouri. Judges Sent to Jail. NEW YORK, June 16. Justices Ruhlman and Darcy, of Jersey City, convicted of conspiracy to defraud a citizen, have been sentenced, Ruhlman to one year in the penitentiary and Darcy to six months in the county jail. War on the Border. NEW ORLEANS, June 16. The Galveston News' Fort Clark special says: On Monday last a detachment of Mexican Government troops crossed the Rio Grande to this side at a point some twenty miles from here, in order to avoid a conflict with a large body of revolutionary troops fast closing on them. On the same night the revolutionary body crossed the river and attacked the Government soldiers, killing several and wounding many and then returned to the Mexican side. The United States military authorities at this post made a captive of the Mexicans for violating the neutrality law in crossing to the American side with arms and having a battle thereon. They were brought to this post under guard of the United States troops, forty in number, including one Colonel, three Lieutenant-Colonels and five Captains. They were released yesterday on parole. Recruiting is going on on either side for the revolutionary parties. Sitting Bull Interviewed. CHICAGO, June 16. A special from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: Dispatches from Fort Walsh say that Sitting Bull, with 350 lodges, is settling between there and Wood Mountain. He claims to have won heavy victories over the United States troops, of which the public know nothing, and exhibits numerous trophies, including arms, wagons, etc., some belonging to Cusar's party. He holds that violation of Federal treaties by the United States authorities warranted his rebellion. A Bismarck special says: Rev. Abbott Martin returned yesterday from a conference with Sitting Bull, held at the latter's camp, in the British Possessions, May 28th. Martin was accompanied by six Sioux Indians and an interpreter. He was joined while there by Major Walsh and other Canadian officers from Fort Walsh, some sixty miles away. Sitting Bull was courteous, very hospitable and attentive. He told the same old story his wrongs in an eloquent and fiery Items from New York. New York, June 14. Tweed's friends are indignant at the way he has been treated. His statement, made to the Attorney-General under pledge of secrecy, has, they say, been shown to a number of people, and it is asserted that Tilden has a copy of it in his mansion, where it will be kept to be used in future to coerce persons who may be opposed to him in his political aspirations. They claim that Tweed's means are utterly exhausted, and that he is now confined in jail for the same amount, namely, $7,500,000, for which Sweeney was allowed to go free on payment of $400,000. The greater part of it is from the estate of his deceased brother, who was one of the principal robbers of the treasury. The Herald's Salt Lake special says that Mormonism is shaking in its very bones by the power given to Howard at Washington and by partial intimations of the evidence in his possession in regard to the priesthood. The latter are kept very busy at the Lion House. Several secret meetings have been held there during the past few days. Mormon emissaries are on their way East and West, and Mormon missionaries, already established in the East, have received instructions to use every means to counteract the effect of the Herald's revelations. The World's special says: The President leaves for Boston on the 25th inst. He will go to New Hampshire and visit Providence. Soon after the 4th of July, he goes to Richmond and Peterburg and perhaps to the White Sulphur Springs. Some time during the summer he will go to Vermont. The World's special says that the well known philanthropist W. W. Cochrane, distributed $20,000 among the poor man and women who were recently thrown out of employment by reason of reductions in the Department. New York, June 14. The Times' Newburgh, N.Y.; dispatch of CONSTANTINOPLE, June 15. There is great irritation among the Greek population of the city against the Patriarch for issuing a mandate or order that prayers be said in all the churches for the success of the Turkish arms. The Sultan has made costly presents to and decorated the Patriarch with the badge of the highest order of the Sultan. Tweed Discouraged. New York, June 16. Tweed's friends are much discouraged by the failure of the authorities to accept his evidence against his ring associates, and set him free. There is reason to believe that the failure was caused by counter evidence, showing that much of Tweed's proffered testimony would be overwhelmed by rebutting evidence. Also that he transferred to Europe the proceeds of a large amount of property, which is still within his control, and ought to be surrendered to the city from which it was plundered. It now appears that the imputafslons made against Senator Woodin were wholly false, but were truthfully applied to one Wood, and that Woodin's name was substituted only because he was larger game, and his destruction would therefore command a larger rate in calculating the price of Tweed's release. It is now said privately that Tweed can escape from his dangerous criminal indictment, only by such a liberal cash settlement of civil suits as it is believed he still has the means to make. Among the future probable developments is the alleged fact that Oakey Hall's share of the ring spoils passed through the hands of Peter B. Sweeney's brother, James, now deceased, upon whose estate the Sweeney settlement was made. Also that about three-eights of the four hundred thousand dollars paid out of said estate was the balance of Hall's share remaining in Sweeney's hands when he died. Those in position to know saw that Peter B. Sweeney's endowment has not been found on a single check, or on other papers which were suspected of representing any part of the ring's financial transactions. Hendricks as a Presidential Candidate. New York, June 16. The movement to make Hendricks the A Bismarck special says: Rev. Abbott Martin returned yesterday from a conference with Sitting Bull, held at the latter's camp, in the British Possessions, May 28th. Martin was accompanied by six Sioux Indians and an interpreter. He was joined while there by Major Walsh and other Canadian officers from Fort Walsh, some sixty miles away. Sitting Bull was courteous, very hospitable and attentive. He told the same old story of his wrongs in an eloquent and fiery speech. The conclusion reached was that Sitting Bull would not return to the United States, but would remain in the British Possessions. He could not bear the idea of surrendering his possessions—ponies, arms, etc.—and besides feared for his personal safety. He appeared thoroughly subdued. The Indians have lost all their lodges, many arms and supplies while crossing the river this Spring, and are in bad condition to continue war. There are 320 lodges, or about 1000 warriors. The British officers sympathized with them and assured them of protection during good behavior. Father Martin thinks the band is better off as it is, and recommends that they be encouraged to remain. He believes that the Indian war is over. Conkling's Departure for Europe. New York, June 16. Senator Conkling sailed to-day for Europe in the steamship Mosel. A company-of distinguished Republicans accompanied the Senator down the bay. As the party proceeded outward, Wm. Orton, President of Western Union Telegraph Company, made an appropriate little speech; as he said, to give form and expression to the sentiment which had called the company together, by proposing the health of their friend and guest and wishing him a good voyage and a speedy return. Senator Conkling, who was received with prolonged cheers, responded insubstance as follows: Gentlemen—Had your purpose been to add to my regret at leaving these shores and to the pangs of this parting, you could hardly have chosen a more effectual method. Your unexpected presence and your kindness make it harder to say good-bye even for a brief amount. Nevertheless it gives me great gratification and will be treasured with grateful remembrance. Wherever I may wander, and whatever skies bend above me, no matter whatever seems surround me nor where my feet may land, my thoughts will revisit the friends I left behind. [Applause.] One of the most pleasing incidents which I anticipate in my journey abroad will be the opportunity to thank the English people for England's re-ception of General Grant. [Applause.] I see you friends will bear me out if I may that no occurrence in recent times has done so much to warm the breasts of the people of America as the warm and generous tribute paid by England to the hero and patriot who enjoys such supremacy in the hearts, confidence and affection of the American people. [Applause.] It is consulting to know that the great English-speaking people of the British Isles understand that the American people have not forgotten the principles, measures and man that in peace preserved and in war rescued that nationality, which they will pardon us if we regard as the greatest nationality on earth. The Senator said that he hoped to see something abroad of the power, development and progress of other lands, and to be back in the early Autumn with renewed health and strength, to take such part as might belong to him in the affairs that were likely to demand some attention from them all. [Applause] Would that he could grasp the hand of each and all of those present, and offer them his thanks and personal assurance that there could be no wish of safety or fortune for him that he did not reciprocate to each individual with all his heart.

The walrus has a singular mode of adapting his attack upon enemies to the circumstances in which he is placed. They can shiver ice from four to six inches thick by rising from below and striking it with their hung heads. Anexploring party near Navaya Zemala, while walking over a field of new ice, noticed a herd of walruses following them under the ice. They presently began operations and broke the field in pieces on all sides of the party, which barely escaped by running for the main pack of ice near by. P.
