WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...JULY 7, 1877. POLITICAL JOTTINGS. The magic power of the word, "Independent" has departed; in fact, it is rather unavoidable than otherwise. Several elections must come and go ere "Independent" candidates need expect to receive the slightest recognition from the people. There is one office, however; which we think the two political Conventions should not meddle with—the County Judgeship, and we are inclined to favor "Independent" candidates for that most responsible position. We think that those who desire this office should announce their desires, and ask the support of the voters of both parties. The only candidate who has pursued this course is W. H. Gray, Esq., of Los Angeles. We do not know anything as to the gentleman's qualifications for the office, but we think that his reasons for declining a political nomination show him to be possessed of an amount of starling good sense which will attract many people favorably towards him. The Democratic Herald and the Republican Republican do not agree with us in this matter. The latter paper a few days ago said: We desire to call the attention of voters of this county to a late article in the Anaheim Gazette, which refers to the likelihood of nominations by Republicans for all offices to be filled at the coming election, save possibly that of County Judge. In our opinion this office certainly should be sought by the Republicans, and their nominee elected easily. The Democrats have several aspirants, and undoubtedly more than one Democrat will be a candidate on election day. If the Republicans centre on their best man, whom we have before spoken of as a gentleman well qualified for the position, they can be successful. We are strongly in favor of the Republicans putting forward their best man for this office, and exerting themselves to secure his election. Chas. S. Ellis, Esq., is the only Republican lawyer spoken of for this position; he is a cousin of the late esteemed John F. Ellis, and is well and favorably known through the county; he came to Los Angeles in 1863, having been admitted to the Suffolk bar in Massachusetts in 1868, three years after graduation from Harvard College. Mr. Ellis comes of good Republican stock, and content, although short, will be anything but sweet. It says: There are not wanting signs that the present is to be one of the most body contested local campaigns on record. The Republicans desire to galvanize their party by the possession of the county offices, while the Democracy are determined that their six hundred majority shall not suffer diminution. One of the knotty questions which the next Legislature will be called upon to grapple with, is what is commonly dubbed "The Water Question." Recognizing this fact, Mr. Pitt has sent us his views on the matter, which we publish without comment, merely remarking that in view of the vital interest of this question, we will take pleasure in publishing the briefly stated views of legislative candidates: Los Angeles, June 30, 1877. Esq. Gazette:—In the conunciation of principles which I have addressed to the citizens of this county, I have unavoidably omitted several questions of public interest, that I hope to have an opportunity of referring to at length, on a future occasion. But the most important to every citizen of this county is the question of irrigation, and in reference to it, I wish to say, that should I be honored by being chosen a delegate to represent this county in the next Legislature, I shall persevere in a decided effort to secure the passage of a law for the proper care and distribution of the waters of this State; and while protecting vested interests, to jealously care for the rights of the people against all corporations or other combinations, who by discrimination and exorbitant charges, forget that the ownership of all lakes, rivers or streams belongs by right to the people, who retain the power of controlling through their Legislature the manner and cost of its distribution for public use. The irrigation of the soil in this section of the State being absolutely essential to the proper development of our agricultural interest, I consider that separation of the proprietorship of the land from that of the water necessary for its irrigation is wrong in principle, and is likely to be injurious to the entire community. The question is one that requires immediate action on the part of the State Legislature; and as your section is particularly interested, I deem it advisable to allow your readers to know how I stand on the water question. R. D. Pitt. The Los Nietos valley this year is producing corn and candidates in about equal proportion. McDonald, of Downey City, A SUMMER JOY A Trip to Catalina Island at Wilson College— Esq. Gazette:—On Monday a party of six—three of them of the so-called Lords of California for a week's visit Santa Catalina. Our small stopped the first night Wilmington, or as it is the Wilson College ground with a warm and hearty hands of Meara. Parmer Hamilton and their respect. WILSON COLLEGE Is situated about a mile Wilmington. Its grounds and are set out with these trees are now three present quite an impress They are useful as well they form a wind break College buildings and very disagreeable and stoniously prevail if the town There are no irrigating facility of Wilmington, and guinea was never watered was when the young trees When this is taken into growth of this forest in The College buildings co-ordination or board within easy reach of them and the Recitation Hall espacious building rooms reception room, storatories, etc., etc. THE PRESENT SUFFOCATE Mr. Parmer, recently foreshaped and educated every respect competent to himself and profit to portant position which his wife is an elegant lady—ate—with whom no parent their darling fledglings were only some 30 scholars it will accommodate 100 public patronage. Amidst such surround passed swiftly and pleas undoubtedly more than one Democrat will be a candidate on election day. If the Republicans centre on their best man, whom we have before spoken of as gentleman well qualified for the position, they can be successful. We are strongly in favor of the Republicans putting forward their best man for this office, and exerting themselves to secure his election. Chas. S. Ellis, Esq., is the only Republican lawyer spoken of for this position; he is a cousin of the late esteemed John F. Ellis, and is well and favorably known through the county; he came to Los Angeles in 1869, having been admitted to the Suffolk bar in Massachusetts in 1868, three years after graduation from Harvard College. Mr. Ellis comes of good Republican stock, and has been carefully trained in the knowledge of his profession, while his personal popularity would ensure him many votes from the opposition. We hope the Convention will urge his support. Judge O'Melveny, the present incumbent, desires a re-election. In a printed card he says he is a candidate for County Judge, "subject to any decision the Democracy may make." a rather ambiguous phrase, and one capable of many constructions. He further says: "The requirement of the discharge of official duties, daily recurring, makes it impossible for me to see my friends personally in the different townships. I must therefore ask my friends to take the matter under their individual control, and in deciding the name do as they think best, and I will be content." The gentle Matthews is indignant. He writeth to us as follows: Eds. Gazettee:—I observed an article in the L.A. Star of the 28th inst. copied from your political gossip in regard to my having no following whatever, and my candidacy is said to be more in the nature of revenge for a fancied alight than an honest desire or expectation of securing the nomination. I wish you to understand sirs, that my intentions towards the Democratic party have always were honest, pure and healthy, and that I seek the office of County Recorder without any malice or revenge against Mr. Miles, as he and myself have been on the most friendly terms. I have announced myself for the office of County Recorder as other aspirants, subject to the decision of the Democratic County Convention, and not with intention of being bribed or bought off, or for the purpose of revenge. No matter what action the Convention takes, I shall stand by it and support the whole ticket honestly and faithfully. In conclusion I will here remark that there navor has been any difficulty between Mr. Miles and myself either party or ex party, which Mr. Miles will assure you. Respectfully, W. A. MATTHEWS, Esq. We are sorry that Mr. Matthews has taken offense at our allusion to his candidature. We have not the slightest desire to injure his chances for a nomination—don't care a baubee whether he gets it or not. It is our business in these "jottings" to record facts, no matter who is hurt thereby. Now, the facts in the case are that Matthews applied to Recorder Miles for a situation, and was refused. He immediately stepped into an adjoining office (the County Assessor's) and wrote out his announcement, soliciting the Democratic nomination for Recorder, at the same time making remarks to those present lately essential to the proper development of our agricultural interest. I consider that separation of the proprietorship of the land from that of the water necessary for its irrigation is wrong in principle, and is likely to be injurious to the entire community.

Respectfully, R. D. PIRR. The Los Nietos valley this year is producing corn and candidates in about equal proportion. McDonald, of Downey City, wants to be School Superintendent; Holloway, of Downey City, wants to go to the legislature; Tarwater, of Downey City, wants to be Auditor; Dr. Dawson, of Downey City, also wants to go to the legislature, and we learn that there are quite a number of other candidates in process of incubation in that locality. Another Democratic candidate for the legislature has just announced himself—Pedro C. Carillo, of Los Angeles. H. A. Barclay, who this morning announces himself as a candidate for the office of District Attorney, is the senior member of the law firm of Barclay & Wilson. Those who know him describe him as a young man of remarkable energy and perseverance. He is a native of Pittsburg, and a son of the Hon. Mr. Barclay, who served in Congress for many years with credit and distinction. Mr. Barclay studied law in his father's office, and enjoyed a lucrative practice in Pittsburg for about three years previous to his departure for California, which event occurred in 1874. He commenced the practice of his profession in Los Angeles in 1875, and in August 1876 he formed a partnership with Mr. Wilson. This young firm is quite popular among all classes of business men, and they have been rapidly building up a lucrative practice. Chicago is fond of excitements and as a means making the Fourth of July a pleasant one several persons donated their lives and the lives of others toward furnishing a series of funerals for the amusement of the people. The transactions of the 3d as reported by telegram are as follows: "Charles Diest was seriously but not fatally stabbed by an unknown man; Mrs. Minnie Gilsinger, a respectable widow and the mother of five children, suicided with a razor early this morning; Charles Mattieson stabbed Henry Bolmer this morning, who died from the effects of the wound, leaving a family; August Schmidt, a barber, cut Albert Lucas, a shoemaker with a pair of shears so seriously as to leave his life in danger; John Malony, a laborer was run over by a street car this morning and died four hours afterward." Few people know that there are hardly twenty genuine Newfoundland dogs in the United States.

offense at our allusion to his candidature. We have not the slightest desire to injure his chances for a nomination—don't care a haubee whether he gets it or not. It is our business in these "jottings" to record facts, no matter who is hurt thereby. Now, the facts in the case are that Matthews applied to Recorder Miles for a situation, and was refused. He immediately stepped into an adjoining office (the County Assessor's) and wrote out his announcement, soliciting the Democratic nomination for Recorder, at the same time making remarks to those present implying that had Mr. Miles treated his application differently he would have helped instead of trying to injure that gentleman's nomination. In view of these facts we were justified in stating that his (Matthews)' candidacy was "more in the nature of a revenge for a fancied slight than with an honest desire or expectation of receiving the nomination." Vale, Matthews. There are two Republican candidates for the nomination for County Auditor—Mr. Tarwater, of Downey City, and H. H. Spencer, of Los Angeles. Mr. Spencer, we are told, is a very deserving gentleman and well qualified for the not over-arduous position which he seeks. He has been a resident of California for twenty-seven years, during ten of which he has resided in Los Angeles county. He was at one time School Superintendent of Tuolumne county. The only Democratic aspirant who has so far announced himself is A. E. Sepulveda, the present auditor. It is a foregone conclusion that he will be the Democratic nominee. Methuselah Waite, of the Downey Courier, corrects an error we made last week in alluding to the early career of Col. John O. Wheeler. We candidly confess that our recollection of events in that long age period is somewhat obscured by the lapse of time, and we are gratified to have our memory refreshed. According to the Courier, it was in the latter part of 1854 and 1855 that Wheeler & Butta published the Southern Californian, and it was in 1857 and 1858 that Col. Wheeler was Deputy County Clerk. The Herald thinks that the local political early this morning; Charles Mattieson stabbed Henry Bolmer this morning, who died from the effects of the wound, leaving a family; August Schmidt, a barber, cut Albert Lucas, a shoemaker with a pair of shears so seriously as to leave his life in danger; John Malony, a laborer was run over by a street car this morning and died four hours afterward." Few people know that there are hardly twenty genuine Newfoundland dogs in the United States. The name and breed are so popular and familiar that to all but an extremely small minority the assertion will appear absurd. Nevertheless it is strictly correct. The thoroughbred Newfoundland dog has been gradually losing his identity through miscegenation. The secret of his fast approaching extinction not being more easily observed, lies in the fact that after a mixture of breed between a Newfoundland and any other species, more of the form and characteristics of the former descend to the offspring than occurs in any other instance of interbreeding among dogs. On this account animals that have hardly two-thirds of the genuine breed in them, and which are really fine specimens, are frequently boasted of as splendid Newfoundland dogs. If he be still living, an old man known as "Batty" Sullivan, in the island from which the dog derives its name, is the last surviving preserver of the unmixed breed Newfoundland dogs. Several years ago the writer last saw him, and then the old man was master of the last genuine specimens of the noble dogs. Old "Batty" had then about fifteen full grown pets—looking as big as Shetland ponies—perfectly web footed, with massive paws over three inches in diameter, and heavy, glossy, coal-black curls all over. Very few men have such frank and honest faces as those splendid brutes possessed. Hydrophobia is unknown among the pure breed. "Batty" made a living by selling his dogs at a high price almost exclusively to Spanish and Portuguese sea captains. He strangely nurtured the prejudice of never selling a male and female to one purchaser. More Mormon outrages! The Utah correspondent of one of the New York great dailies looked too long on water and brandy when it was amber-colored, the other evening, and as he was going home he ran against something and witnessed a display of 4th of July pyrotechnics. Fifteen minutes later he was telegraphing to his employers in New York that the Mormons had made another attempt on his life by coming up behind him and striking him on the head with a lamp post.

Gazette: On Monday, June 25th, a party of six—three of the fair sex and three of the so-called Locals of Creation—left Anaheim for a week's visit to the Island of Santa Catalina. Our small but merry party stopped the first night out at Upper Wilmington, or as it is sometimes called, the Wilson College grounds, where they met with a warm and hearty reception at the hands of Missara, Parmer, Spurlock, Buster, Hamilton and their respective better halves. WILSON COLLEGE Is situated about a mile from the town of Wilmington. Its grounds are extensive, and are set out with the Eucalyptus tree. These trees are now three years old, and present quite an imposing appearance. They are useful as well as ornamental, for they form a wind break which screens the College buildings and grounds from the very disagreeable and stormy which occasionally prevail at the town of Wilmington. There are no irrigating facilities in the vicinity of Wilmington, and this forest of blue gums was never watered but once, and that was when the young trees were being set out. When this is taken into consideration, the growth of this forest is truly wonderful. The College buildings consist of a number of dormitories or boarding houses, all within easy reach of the main buildings, and the Recitation Hall, which is a large and spacious building, containing recitation rooms, reception room, tutors' offices, laboratories, etc., etc. THE PRECENT SUPERINTENDENT, Mr. Parmer, recently from Georgia, is a refined and educated gentleman who is in every respect competent to fill, with credit to himself and profit to his pupils, the important position which he occupies, and his wife is an elegant lady,—kind and considerate—with whom no parent need fear to trust their darling fledglings. Last season there were only some 30 scholars at the college, but it will accommodate 100. It is deserving of public patronage. Amidst such surroundings the evening passed swiftly and pleasantly by, enlivened BY TELEGRAPH. The San Francisco Fourth. SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. The Fourth passed very quietly and with but few incidents worthy of mention. Special arrangements were made to preserve order during the day, and only the usual array of drunks and small misdemeanor cases have called for the services of the police. The procession in the morning was comparatively meagre, though the military made a good display. There were few special features worthy of note. The literary exercises were held at the California Theatre and the usual salutes were fired. During the day bands of music played in the principal squares. The annual regatta of the Master Marinera Association passed off successfully about 30 vessels participating, accompanied by most of the yachts of the San Francisco Yacht Club, steamers, etc. There was also a rowing race on Mission Bay. At a special celebration held at Badger Park, Colonel Ingersoll delivered the oration, which was followed by games, etc. A number of excursions were given to suburban districts. Distant resorts afforded an opportunity to those who wished to escape from the city for the day. Suicide in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. About 1 p.m. yesterday Wm. F. Joyce committed suicide by shooting himself through the head on the steps of the residence of his father-in-law, H. J. McIntyre, 812 Folsom street. The act was caused by jealousy of his wife, who had left him and was living with her parents. Decased was a jeweler by occupation. Disintegration of the Cabinet. NEW YORK, July 3. The Herald's Washington special zays: Rumora are current again to-night of the disintegration of the Cabinet. It is said that Key wishes to resign, to as to relieve the President from the radical Republican charges of taking into his Cabinet an ex-rebel, and that McCrary, in view of a recent expression of opinion of his constituents, is bound to tenure at some conclusion, but we feel so mixed—owing to our wishing to please everyone—that we think seriously of voting once for all kinds of irrigation aqueducts. It has just been pleasantly demonstrated to us that strawberry shortcake is pipe. Mr. W. McClellan, of Iowa, is here for his health and finds the climate beneficial. Mr. Shrewabury informs us that his bees are now laying up a little honey from the few flowers that stood through the warm winds. A jolly load of boys left here on the 3d for Laguna, well armed and prepared to cure all illa that are apt to befall humanity. J. Anderson is in Frisco, looking up the interests of this section for a tannery wherein they use the annac for tanning. We trust the gentleman will succeed in the enterprise. As early in the season as this we have gazed longingly upon a few ripe pumpkins, and watermelons began to make their appearance. We learned yesterday of a fight in the Santiago canyon in which two Mexicans were engaged. One of them received a severe cut in the hand. The school trustee election on last Saturday went by default, and the same board will continue in office. Deputy Sheriff Barham's smiling countenance shown in town for a few moments on Tuesday. We overheard a gentleman remark that the essential salvation of this country was wood and water. This is a pun. Our zanero is Colonel Wood; the other point is just now blunt. The boys say the lack of spendulix thus caused them to postpone indefinitely the many expensive luxuries they fully intended to revel in. Right, boys, it's naughty to revel. July 4. Westminster Lions. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Tuesday several parties left here for Laguna canyon, where they will spend from three to ten days camping on the beach. Probably not less than seventy-five of our people are there. Some 200 more went from here to Bolla Chica yesterday, spending the Fourth on that beach, and a number went to Anaheint, leaving this place almost depopulated during the day. Tuesday evening a bona jade American oagle perched himself on the observatory at Mr. Strong's and remained there until Wednesday evening, when he left us, probably satisfied from the display of flags, and the preparations being made in all directions by parties intending to celebrate the day, that Mr. Parmer, recently from Georgia, is a refined and educated gentleman who is in every respect competent to fill, with credit to himself and profit to his pupils, the important position which he occupies, and his wife is an elegant lady—kind and considerate—with whom no parent need fear to trust their darling fledglings. Last season there were only some 30 scholars at the college, but it will accommodate 100. It is deserving of public patronage. Amidst such surroundings the evening passed swiftly and pleasantly by, enlivened with music, song and recitation. Miss Daisy Parmer recited "Bow Wow," and one of the ladies of the party favored us with a rendition of "The Curfew shall not ring to-night." Full justice was done both pieces. Next morning our party ambarked in a small sail boat, (7x21 feet), for Santa Catalina Island, which is distant some 22 miles from the harbor of Wilmington. The passage was a pleasant one to half the party, but the pleasure of the others was somewhat marred by a little sea-sickness. We reached camp about the middle of the afternoon, and after various useless but laughable experiments made ourselves comfortable for the night. I will not give you the longitude and latitude of Santa Catalina Island. For two good reasons; first, I do not know them; second, they can be ascertained by referring to any atlas of North America. Nor can I give you much satisfaction in regard to its topography, for our means of observation were dependent in a great measure upon our means of locomotion, which consisted in toiling up the side of almost inaccessible mountains, with our "foot in our hand," or wasting our energies, blistering our hands and losing our temps, in the vain endeavor to row an unmanageable boat against both wind and tide. As to information obtained by word of mouth, there was but little if any to be had from that venerable personage, "the oldest inhabitant," for we were credibly informed that he was a Wild Goat. But according to statements made by men living on the Island, it is about 25 miles long, varying in width from a mile and a half to 10 or 15 miles. It is a rough, rocky, mountainous island, with flat little tillable land. There is one valley which contains tillable land and a running stream of water, but the produce raised in the valley has to be packed to the coast on horses' backs. There are now some 20,000 sheep on the Island. Many of which will die of starvation this season, for the feed is now very scarce. There are also innumerable bands of goats. These goats are said to drink the sea water, which adds to the value of their flesh. The sheep are allowed to run at large over the entire extent of the island. No warlords are employed and the sheep separate in small bands of 10 or 15, and some of them become very wild. Each Spring 30 or 40 horsemen are employed to drive the sheep in corrals in order to share them. This is said to be away of his wife, who had left him and was living with her parents. Deceased was a jeweler by occupation. Disintegration of the Cabinet. New York, July 3. The Herald's Washington special says: Rumors are current again to-night of the disintegration of the Cabinet. It is said that Key wishes to resign, to as to relieve the President from the radical Republican charges of taking into his Cabinet an ex-rebel, and that McCrary, in view of a recent expression of opinion of his constituents, is bound to tender his resignation. It is further said that Sherman is under a strong pressure from the radicals to leave the Cabinet, and hence the encapicion that he has gone cruising, to Maine to see Blaine and talk the thing over. Turkish Victories. New York, July 3. The Times's London special says that two things are beyond a doubt: That the fighting has been of a terrible description and attended with great carnage both on the Danube and in Asia Minor. The Turkish forces have obtained such victories in Asia that the Russian journals are accusing their generals of having managed the campaign badly. New York, July 3. The Times's Constantinople special says: Within forty-eight hours the Russians will have met with great check on the Danube or will make a tremendous advance. The Turkish plan of the campaign, if there is one, has not yet become apparent. It is either an exceedingly weak one or will disclose skirting surprises. On the line of the Danube the Turks have not half the number of the Russians. The panic and distress in Constantinople is becoming dangerous to foreign residents. New York, July 3. A dispatch from Erzeroum dated Sunday says that the siege of Kars was raised on that day, and the Russian forces are now retreating toward the frontier. The sortie from Kars on Sunday is represented as one of the most bloody and desperate struggles of the war. The Turks fought with great gallantry. The damage they inflicted was immense. In the battle at Zewin, which also took place on Sunday, the Russian loss was about 4,000 men. The Turks are greatly elated over their success, and represent that the Russians are in an utter state of demoralization. Great activity is noticeable all along the Danube, and another crossing is in preparation near Balara, below Ruschuk. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. T. B. Hulso and F. Isbell have volunteered to serve their country and this locality in particular as Constables. This vicinity, like in former years, scattered on the Fourth. Some went to Los Angeles, others to Anaheim, the majority to Laguna, and a minority at home. Tuesday several parties left here for Laguna canyon, where they will spend from three to ten days camping on the beach. Probably not less than seventy-five of our people are there. Some 200 more went from here to Bola Chica yesterday, spending the Fourth on that beach, and a number went to Anaheim, leaving this place almost depopulated during the day. Tuesday evening a bona fide American eagle perched himself on the observatory at Mr. Strong's and remained there until Wednesday evening, when he left us, probably satisfied from the display of flags, and the preparations being made in all directions by parties intending to celebrate the day, that Westminster would duly honor the occasion. We said in last week's letter that there was but one candidate in the field for election as School Trustee. At that time it was true. But Thursday evening the fragrida of Mr. S. Lyman brought out his name as a candidate. The result of the election was H. Sterns received 51 votes, and S. Lyman, 34; making 85 votes polled—the largest number cast at any school election here. In the Bola Grande district Mr. D. Griswold was elected for the three-year term and N. W. Tolle for one year. As indicative of the popularity of your correspondent we might mention that he received one vote for one year term. Parties are being made up for camping expoitions to the Temescal and mountain valleys of San Bernardino county, San Juan warm springs, &c. We refer each and all other intending campers, to the advertisement of the "Sherman folding cut," and the "Sherman camp lounge," mentioned in the Pural Press, of June 23d. When folded they occupy very little more room than a common satchel, and when opened for use are very complete and convenient. The package is so light that it can be sent by mail. Full particulars can be had by addressing C. H. Massely, 415 Sansone street, San Francisco. We have frequently been asked whether the small plants of the blackberry and raspberry—this season's growth—can be moved before winter. In the last number of the Fruit Recorder—probably as good authority as can be had—we read that such plants can be moved as safely as tomato plants, and by transplanting new fruit is obtained a year sooner than if the plants are not moved until winter. Care is essential in digging; to save so much of the cross or old root as is possible, and also to remove enough dirt with the plant to keep 'the air from the roots. The southern papers are praising the Catalpa and recommending its cultivation. Its great advantage is great durability. W.R. Arthur, Superintendent of the Illinois Central R.R. says this tree will make ties for railroads that will last for ever. A gate post which he had put up on his grounds 46 years ago, has just been removed and was as sound as on the day it was set in place. The seed is easily germinated. J.A.McFadden has finished 'well on Mr.Fleming's town lot,' getting a four-inch flow over a 34-inch pipe at 106 feet. He is now boring on Mr.Lynn's place. Eight teams from Westminster, seen on the streets of Anaheim, a few days ago, made your town seem quite lively. The annual meeting and election of trustees of the Presbyterian church has been postponed from Saturday afternoon, until next week Saturday. July 7th, 1877. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. The Olio club greatly distinguished themselves on the 28th of last month at their 20,000 SHEEP ON THE ISLAND, Many of which will die of starvation this season, for the feed is now very scarce. There are also innumerable bands of goats. These goats are said to drink the sea water, which adds to the value of their flesh. The sheep are allowed to run at large over the entire extent of the island. Now ranchers are employed and the sheep separate in small bands of 10 or 15, and some of them become very wild. Each Spring 30 or 40 horsemen are employed to drive the sheep in corrals in order to shear them. This is said to be very fatiguing to both horse and rider. Our stay of four or five days on the island was a very pleasant one, our time being fully employed in hunting, fishing, boating, bathing—impromptu and premeditated—and gathering shells. The elephant shooting was fine sport, and the mermaid caves were quite numerous and interesting. We usually retired at 12 and rose with the morning sun. Taken in all, I believe it was the busiest rest spell I ever took. Some members of our party seemed to be in a chronic state of starvation, and one gentleman's olfactory nerves were saluted with an odor of snakes to such an extent that he could not "rest in peace" the first night in camp. But I fear I am trespassing upon the province of our historian, who was duly chosen, and who has been assiduously taking mental notes of the trip. We returned to Wilmington on Saturday, June 30th, in the same little boat. Only one of the ladies was sick on our return. Our acquaintances there gave us a cordial welcome. Next morning we, the writer and historian, bade the ladies and our kind friends adieu and returned to Anaheim, wiser, and it is to be hoped, better men than when we left. M. Torpedo balloons are proposed by a correspondent of the Scientific American. The idea is to float the balloons over the enemy, and drop the torpedo by means of electricity sent over a wire. It is calculated that a city could be totally destroyed in this way by dropping a sufficient quantity of nitro-glycerine. The police of Kansas towns have orders to shoot all potato bugs found running at large without a muzzle on. This is important if true. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. T. B. Hulso and F. Isbell have volunteered to serve their country and this locality in particular as Constables. This vicinity, like in former years, scattered on the fourth. Some went to Los Angeles, others to Anaheim, the majority to Laguna, and a minority at home. Mr. Neill gives us a history of an attack made on him while running the hack to Anaheim. He says about one mile west of Orange all at once he was assailed with clods of dirt, flying like a shower of hailstones. The highway brigand appeared only a youth but wore a mask of gray beard, slouch hat of straw and yellow overalls. His assailant followed up the attack until the running horses got beyond his well-aimed missiles. As the U.S. mail was in the back, the driver talks seriously of applying for a detachment of regulars to guard him from future molestation. Frank Cobler, the handsome young proprietor of the Times, and A. Caldwell, the fascinating former bee proprietor, passed hastily through our streets on Monday, airing their horsemanship. We hear it on all corners that Wm. A. McGibbon and Mr. Straw are the people's favorites in this section for San Joaquin township justices; except ourselves we know of no better subjects. A party of surveyors, consisting of Surveyor Ellis, P. Bowers, A. Mills, G. L. Russell and an engineer left on Monday for Bedrock Canyon to ascertain the most practical route for a new ditch or pipe as will be decided on hereafter. They were well armed with bacon and bacon and—no matter. The festive youth hankereth after a standing collar of huge dimensions of an upper nature. Walter A. Weaver, from Johnstown, Pa., is rusticating at Laguna seaside; Wm. Nowell, all the way from Massachusetts, is stopping a while at Laguna seaside. More than these can be found at that world renowned ocean resort. Quite a number turned out and spent the third shoveling on the zanja. Which—yes, which shall it be, an iron pipe, a concrete ditch or an open one such as we have now? These are the leading questions. We have 600 "irrigable" votuses: 200 are for iron pipe, 200 for concrete, and 200 for a ditch like the glorious one we now possess. We have tried in every way to ar- Flow over a 34-inch pipe, at 106 feet. He is now boring on Mr. Lyon's place.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. The Olio club greatly distinguished themselves on the 28th of last month at their dramatic entertainment given at the Baptist Church. Social "surprise" parties are becoming popular over here and are the order of the day. Dr. Cummins celebrated his own as well as his nation's natal day on the 4th inst. He laid in a considerable supply of beer for himself and many friends. The "stay at homes" enjoyed themselves hugely. Mr. Haywood delivered the oration, and although he is but an adopted citizen, he showed by the tenor of his remarks that he had imbibed the true spirit of the spread-eagle orator, who is always indispensable on such occasions. Mr. N. Purlong ally provided over the meeting. The light fantastic was merrily tripped at Sycamore Hall, under the anspices of the well known Reuter Bros. Nearly all the sporting fraternity went to Los Angeles to attend-the races, and the balance of the population with their families visited the different seaside resorts. Messrs. Darby and Glason were elected school trustees on last Saturday. Messrs. Gray, Cole and Foster have decamped for parts unknown. Their numerous friends who have some little business accounts to settle with are anxious to learn of their whereabouts. Edwards & Rowe sell the best ice cream in town. Mr. Linington came very near spoiling the road last Saturday by falling out of his carriage. Mr. Fruit ditto when Irvine Saunders tried to jump over his head. If the Orange people are satisfied that they know anything at all they are posted on nosology. They know all about the nose. They have had a lecture on the nose. You can't tell them anything more about the nose than they know now, and they have been convinced that their nose was born crooked. Those who had been priding themselves on the aquilinity of their nasal proboscis have had their belief shaken and their hopes shattered by the witness in the Supreme Court of Judge McGibbon. An A.
