Upon making further inquiry we learned that the unfortunate men were attempting to pass from the steamer to the lighter in a small boat, hauling the boat by means of a rope attached from the steamer to the lighter. The waves were running very high on the bar and one of them striking the boat, capsized it, throwing the men into the water. They were drowned before assistance could reach them. Capt.

From an extra issued by the Santa Ana Times we take the following: The steamer arrived at Newport on Wednesday night and anchored outside the bar and on Thursday morning between 6 and 7 o'clock the Mate and four sailors embarked in a row boat and endeavored to carry a line across the bar to a lighter which was just inside. There was an unusually rough sea, and the title was against the crew, but they labored hard and earnestly. When the boat was just about crossing the bar a very large breaker gathered it and the boat and occupants were carried to and fro upon the furious waters, and, as the breaker broke, the boat with its crew went down and were seen no more. The accident was witnessed by Captain Pierce, from the Newport, and the occupants of the lighter, three in number, from inside the bar. Captain Pierce immediately summoned the Clerk, William Milestone, and James O'Hara, the fireman, and embarking in another small boat set out to rescue the wrecked crew. But the sea was too rough, and the Captain, Clerk and Fireman were soon observed to sink. Not more than ten minutes had elapsed before some one was seen to take refuge upon one of the boats that had been upset, and soon after another, and then another; until there were three of the crew clinging on to the boat in croak a note and whose sent to San Francisco for continental" pieces?

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Presbytery of Los Angeles met here on last Thursday evening. Rev. J. Phelps, of Santa Barbara preached the opening sermon. Rev. J. Marquis was chosen commissioner to the General Assembly, which meets at Pittsburg, Pa., May 16th. All of the meetings were interesting and well attended. During the day sessions there was sharp shooting, and many good hits were made. But all through there was entire harmony and the best of feeling. We have never seen the hall fuller or the atmosphere in it closer than on Sunday morning. There was no room for more, and many went away, being unable to get in. It truly demonstrated that we need a church building. On Tuesday evening the Methodist Ministerial Association met here and is still in session. The meetings seem full of interest. The programme has been changed, and instead of devoting this evening to temperance the subject will be education. The attendance at the meetings of last week, as well as those now being held, show that a lively interest is felt. It is to be hoped the interest will prove to be not a mere surface ripple of spasmotic feeling, but something lasting and beneficial. The funeral of Sammy Edwards took place on Tuesday morning, the exercises being conducted by Rev's Van Anda and King. The church had been appropriately trimmed by kindly loving hands; intertwined in the drapings were callas. Among the handsome floral offerings were a cross and a crown.

The scholars of our school attended in a body. The Presbyterian Social meets in the hall on Tuesday evening. Hot tea and coffee will be served with other refreshments. There will be musical and literary exercises as usual. As the roads are getting to be quite good, and the evening will be bright, it is hoped all who can will attend and make this first social of the second year a grand success. The ladies want to raise more than they did last year; let the success Tuesday evening encourage them in the belief that they can do it. Last Saturday evening there was a pleasant social gathering at Miss Leffler's, to enable the members of the Presbytery to meet and become acquainted with our people. This is the time of the year those having young orchards just commencing to bear are solicitus about "Northers" and frost.

The exercises were listened to with marked attention. Col. Rushing addressed the audience for an hour and five minutes and after some musical and literary exercises, supper was announced. The tables were well prepared and there was enough and to spare. After supper the dancing commenced and the young tripped, etc., until a late hour. The entertainment was a financial success. —From a gentleman well versed in mines, who has lately been visiting the silver leads in Santiago Canyon, we learn that there are several silver mines in that district that without doubt will pay largely when developed. The mine of Thistlewaite and Harvey was mentioned as being one of the most promising. Several tons of rock will be sent to San Francisco in a few days and it is supposed that the returns will show that the mine is a very profitable one. —About five tons of coal were brought in from the Black Star mine on Tuesday. A portion was to fill an order from the Los Angeles Gas Works, and the remainder to be used here in town. A letter from San Francisco says that the Superintendent of the Gas Works in that city, after examining some samples of the Black Star coal, pronounced it to be the best coal for the manufacture of gas ever taken from any mine on this coast, and a quantity has been ordered for the purpose of making a test. —Those who were not up and out at six o'clock on Tuesday morning missed an interesting night — the migratory flight of thousands upon thousands of wild geese in one miles-spreading flock, the sound of whose wings was like the paddle of a steamer. They were on their way North, and great geese, they proved themselves in leaving such a climate as this for a colder one; but "chac us a son qout," though we are willing to bet odds that, like some featherless bipeds, they will repent and return before the year is near out. Last Saturday evening there was a pleasant social gathering at Miss Lefiller's, to enable the members of the Presbytery to meet and become acquainted with our people.

Westminster, April 11th. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE As the river above us is full of water, the farmers composing the water company have been obliged to construct a ditch towards S. Bland's farm, to carry off the surplus water, as the late rains have been sufficient for irrigation purposes. Mr. D. Johnston, of Norwalk, has set out twenty-one acres of Muscat grapes, and is greatly improving his place. We regret to hear that Mr. Johnston, on Monday, received a telegram from his old home in Michigan, announcing the sad tidings of his brother's death. He was daily expecting his brother's arrival in California. The fruit trees here are coming out in all the glory of blossoms and leaves, and some of the earlier trees are hanging full of fruit. If the frost spares them, a large quantity of fruit can be raised in this valley this year. Mr. Hargrave, of Little Lake, is improving and enlarging his mill for the purpose of grinding corn.

Early in June next a team of Parsee cricketers, the champions of India, will reach England with the object of playing a series of matches against English Clubs.

Come and join Base-Ball club, Come, all ye daring boys; Join us in our healthful sports. And share in all our joys. We'll teach you all the mysteries That to our club belong; And soon you'll see with joyous pride How stout you'll grow and strong. In manly sports we will engage And pass the time away So pleasantly, that from our band Not one will wish to stray. We will not mind a tumble, boys That will nigh break a bone, For as we smile, we'll gaily think We suffer not alone. Then hurrah for the glorious Norwalk club, Give three loud and hearty cheers. Hurrah for the Athletic Base-ball Club! May it live a thousand years! Norwalk, April 10. Garden Grove Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Several of our citizens turned out on Saturday and after raising money by subscription to buy lumber for a culvert, constructed a culvert and put it in the slough just above the blacksmith shop. Then with plows and scrapers they leveled down the sides and made a good roadway where before was a dangerous, disagreeable, unsightly, mud hole. There are many places between here and Westminster where the road masters can find employment and we hope they will commence soon, for some parts of the road are a disgrace to any civilized community. A. G. Cook Esq. will deliver a second lecture on "Observations in England" for the benefit of the Sabbath School here. The lecture will be at the school house on Tuesday evening, April 16th. Some time ago we made a statement that there was a certain amount of barley growing within a radius of two miles from the Post Office here. Somehow this does not seem to suit J. T. He claims that a portion of this area will be in Westminster and another portion in Anaheim. We can't see what this has got to do with the statement. We did not claim it all or any portion for Garden Grove. We made a simple statement of what we considered a fact, to illustrate how abundant the crops would be this year. If we had been possessed of the data we would have given the number of sacks of grain that would be raised in Anaheim township or the whole country.

She has water power far more valuable and more generously diffused than New England. In gold she is equal to California, in copper to Tennessee, in coal to Pennsylvania, in iron to the most productive country, in pasture to Kentucky, in soil to Iowa, in lumber to Maine, and in climate she is better than any of them! London fogs are not caused by the rare-faction of the air, or by the consumption of gas, nor yet by the hills on the north, nor by the river. The peculiar atmospheric condition termed an anti-cyclone is the real cause of these annoying visitations; the wind is then blowing round a well defined-circle, in the centre of which the air is tranquil, and consequently the smoke, condensed vapors, etc., cannot escape as they do when there is a direct onward movement of the wind. These objectionable visits occur mostly in November. Orange Salad.—Cut several oranges crosswise into slices an eighth of an inch thick; place them upon a flat glass dish, one piece half covering the other, until the surface of the dish is covered; sift pulverized sugar over them, then add a third of a small wineglass of brandy, or any good liquor, and serve. Peach salad is made with sherry wine in place of brandy. London World: Children's theatreals should have parental supervision. At a country house, the other day, where the children had some afternoon theatreals, the scene went thus: enter a knight-crusader, after ten years' absence at the war—"See dear," he says to his wife; "see the honors and decorations I have attained." "Thrice welcome my lord," answered his tiny spouse. "Look!" holding up a curtain showing her ten dolls, the smallest in the cradle; "Look; I too, have not been idle!" "Well, Colonel, you dined with the Governor yesterday—who was there?" said a Kentucky gentleman to another Kentuckian. "Well, sir," replied the Colonel, throwing back his head, digging his hands deep into his trousers pockets and spreading wide his legs, "there was me, sir, and beside myself there were four other high-toned, elegant gentlemen from Kentucky, a gentleman from Virginia, two men from Ohio, a fellow from New York, and a son of a gun from Boston, sir. Will you take a drink, sir?" Drought is the dreadful drawback to Australian life. It is the terror of the squatter. The New South Wales Agriculturist, under date of Jan. 26, tells how seriously it im- Some time ago we made a statement that there was a certain amount of barley growing within a radius of two miles from the Post Office here. Somehow this does not seem to suit J. T. He claims that a portion of this area will be in Westminster and another portion in Anaheim. We can't see what this has got to do with the statement. We did not claim it all or any portion for Garden Grove. We made a simple statement of what we considered a fact, to illustrate how abundant the crops would be this year. If we had been possessed of the data we would have given the number of sacks of grain that would be raised in Anaheim township, or the whole country. Farmers are getting their harvest machinery ready for operations. Mowers, headers and threshers are in demand. James. Downey Items. [From the Courier.] We were shown, last week, what seems to be an excellent quality of coal, by Mr. John Mitrovich, who is interested in the recent discovery. The mine is situated a short distance from this place, and it is said there is indication of a large and permanent vein. We learn that work is being pushed to fully ascertain the value of the discovery. The specimens obtained have been tested and found to burn readily. It is proposed that our merchants and business men rent a large area of ground, furnish reliable farmers with seed and implements, and share in the profits to be derived from the enterprise. We believe this would be an excellent idea, resulting in mutual profit, and enable the industrious farmer to accumulate a little money to start a farm of his own, thus benefiting the country at large. We are informed by Dr. Smith that in all there have been nine cases of small-pox in this immediate vicinity. There are no new cases, all the patients are convalescing, and in a few days the quarantine will be abolished. New Advertisements. The Board of School Trustees invite proposals for the purchase of ten thousand dollars worth of bonds. Don't all speak at once. The same body publish something of interest to architects and builders. Delinquent stockholders in the Cajon Irrigation Company will find a mournful intimation that their stock is to be sold. The Healdsburg Flag of the 27th ult., speaks of a great mortality among the hogs in the mountains between Healdsburg and the coast. Kentucky gentleman to another Kentuckian. "Well, sir," replied the Colonel, throwing back his head, digging his hands deep into his trousers pockets and spreading wide his legs, "there was me, sir, and beside myself there were four other high-toned, elegant gentlemen from Kentucky, a gentleman from Virginia, two men from Ohio, a fellow from New York, and a son of a gun from Boston, sir. Will you take a drink, sir?" Drought is the dreadful drawback to Australian life. It is the terror of the squatter. The New South Wales Agriculturist, under date of Jan. 26, tells how seriously it impairs railroad extension. Forage for horses can only be obtained at prices so ruinous that contractors will not proceed with work the completion of which would mean ruin. "On the Castlereagh and the upper Darling the work of destruction by drought is almost completed. Hot winds have set in; herbage is consumed; the late richly-grassed plains are now merely level tables of dusty soil, over which scorching gusts travel incessantly while a hardening sky looks unrelentingly down on decimated herds and flocks of half-dead, withered sheep." At such times the settler begins to think that the moist climate of his native Britain was not so bad after all. They have genuine cold weather in Manitoba, where the thermometer marks thirty degrees below zero for days together, and frequently drops to fifty. A correspondent says that what is called a poutre day is exceedingly dangerous for the traveller—not because the temperature is then lowest, but because the air is filled with fine snow, so that the sight is entirely obscured at a distance of a few feet. A wind sifts the snow over the paths, obliterating all guiding marks, and the chilled traveler is lost. The almost unconquerable desire to rest is not the least important part of the danger. The coldest days are "so magically still that all the usual sounds of nature seem to be suspended; when the ice cracks miles away with a report like a cannon; when the breaking of a twig reaches one like the falling of a tree; when one's own footsteps clad in soft moccasins, come back from the yielding snow like the crunching of an iron heel through gravel; when every artificial sound is exaggerated a hundred fold, and nature seems to start at every break in the intense silence. The atmosphere is as clear as crystal, and the range of vision seems to be unlimited." On such days a nose freezes with wonderful quickness, and it is reckless to expose that organ for many minutes.
