WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...AUGUST 3, 1878. Dissolution of Copartnership. ANAHEIM, July 31st, 1878. The copartnership heretofore existing between the undersigned is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All debts due the late firm of Melrose & Athearn must be paid to Richard Melrose, and all debts due by said firm will be paid by him. RICHARD MELROSE, FRED. W. ATHEARN. LAND MATTERS. The agent of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company reports that during the past week or two the inquiries for land have been numerous, and that in all likelihood a great many acres will be sold and settled upon in a very short time. The country west of Anaheim seems to be viewed with the most favor by new-comers. They have become impressed with the importance of being able to irrigate whenever occasion requires, and almost invariably select a locality where artesian water can be cheaply and certainly secured. Mr. Olden further tells us that he is making strenuous efforts to secure the settlement in this county of a number of dairymen, and that it is probable that his representations to that class will result in their sending some one here, in whom they have confidence, to spy out the land and learn its capacity as a dairy country. The report of any capable, intelligent representative must needs be favorable, as the advantages of the southern part of Los Angeles county for stock are obvious enough. The Los Angeles papers give the particulars of a heavy real estate transaction which has just been consummated. The ranchos Azusa and San Jose addition, comprising about fifteen thousand acres, have been sold to a number of gentlemen who propose to form a company to be styled "The Mound City Land and Water Association," and develop and colonize the property. The report of the transfer is thus given: Lewis Wolfskill, Henry Dalton and Guad A CHANCE FOR ANOTHER INDUSTRY. The success which followed our efforts to induce the establishment of a tannery in Anaheim, emboldens us to come to the front with a new proposition, which we earnestly hope will receive serious consideration. There are a great many farmers in this vicinity who have all the way from one to ten acres planted in vines, now bearing full crops. From disinclination, inability, or because the grapes are not of the proper variety, the owners of these few acres do not care to make raisins, and it is a matter of some importance to them to dispose of their small crop at a price somewhat commensurate with the expenditure of labor required for the cultivation of the vines. One farmer, who is situated somewhat as we have attempted to describe, thinks that if some of the Anaheim vineyardists would go into the manufacture of grape syrup they would not only make money for themselves but would, by purchasing the small crops of the farmers, materially assist the latter and indirectly benefit Anaheim and its business interests. He therefore asks us to do what we can towards awakening an interest in the subject. On inquiry, we learn that no attempt has yet been made here to make grape syrup. This, however, is not to be wondered at, as its manufacture has only been carried on for a few years. The few who make syrup in Napa county say that the business is a profitable one, and it is reported that during the coming grape season the manufacture of syrup will be carried on upon a scale of considerable magnitude. But little capital is needed; an evaporator of a capacity of ninety gallons of syrup every twelve hours only costing $145, and we presume any of our local tinsmiths could make one. When we have been able to gather some exact information on the subject, we will recur to this matter again; and in the meantime we hope that some of our vineyardists will decide to go into the manufacture of grape syrup in conjunction with their business of wine making. THE Weekly Telephone is the name of a new paper that has reached our table. It is printed in San Francisco, issued in Saucelito, and announces itself as "the special champion of the Workingmen's party." The Telephone Drunkenness in West Countries.

The ranchos Azusa and San Jose addition, comprising about fifteen thousand acres, have been sold to a number of gentlemen who propose to form a company to be styled "The Mound City Land and Water Association," and develop and colonize the property. The report of the transfer is thus given: Lewis Wolfskill, Henry Dalton and Guadalupe Z de Dalton, his wife, to James B. and David H. Seawell, Thomas W. Hudson, James N. Wiley, Thomas H. Rickman, Geo. W. Park, all of Sonoma county; and William A. Spurlock and George W. Morgan; agreement for sale and purchase of the Rancho "Azuna," and all right, title and interest of parties of the first part to rancho "Addition to San Jose" and rancho "San Jose," as follows: J. B. and D. H. Seawell, 1,250 acres; Hudson, 1,500 acres; Wiley, 500 acres; Rickman, 250 acres; Park, 100 acres; Morgan and Spurlock, each 2,055 acres. Wolfskill reserves 2,500 acres, excess, if any, in same proportion. Terms—$13,000 cash (paid); $22,000 in 60 days; balance ($105,000) 1 and 2 years at 10 per cent. per annum. Deed after second payment. Possession to January 1st, 1879; rents and crops, except one-half of the orange crop, reserved. Whole consideration $140,000. It is said that a considerable colony from Sonoma county will at once settle on these ranchos. THE ECLIPSE. The celestial performance, advertised to take place on Monday, came off as per announcement, and it is safe to say that the audience which viewed the spectacle has never before been equaled in point of numbers. The eclipse first became visible in Anaheim a little after one o'clock, increased in size for more than an hour, and then gradually faded away until at 3:40 it had totally disappeared. During the eclipse, the atmosphere took on a peculiar tinge and the thermometer performed the most frantic gymnastics. The one on the piazza of the Planters' Hotel kept fluctuating between 90° and 96°. The day throughout was very warm, but the evening was cool and pleasant as usual. The observations taken at the eclipse by scientists are expected to be of great benefit. Astronomers will be able to make needed corrections in solar and lunar tables, a matter of importance to navigators; and other supposed astronomical errors will be rectified. Congress, at its last session, appropriated $8000 to be expended in fitting out scientific parties to make observations of the eclipse. Five such parties were organized, and the points of observation were at Creston, Wyoming; Pueblo, Colorado; Central City, Colorado, and Pike's Peak. In addition to the above Government expeditions, there were probably a dozen other scientists who made observations on their own account. It is said that a great deal of malarial fever prevails in the country south of here—in the vicinity of Santa Ana and Gospel local tinsmiths could make one. When we have been able to gather some exact information on the subject, we will recur to this matter again; and in the meantime we hope that some of our vineyardists will decide to go into the manufacture of grape syrup in conjunction with their business of wine making. The Weekly Telephone is the name of a new paper that has reached our table. It is printed in San Francisco, issued in Saucelito, and announces itself as "the special champion of the Workingmen's party." The Telephone has brought out the following ticket, to be voted for next year, and asks the Press to express an opinion concerning it: For Governor—Henry Larkin, of El Dorado. For Lieut. Governor—W. F. White, of Santa Cruz. For Secretary of State—J. C. Garber, of Humboldt. For Comptroller—Jno. McCoy, of Nevada. For Attorney General—Clitus Barbour, of San Francisco. For State Treasurer—C. E. Laitellaide, of Santa Barbara. For Surveyor-General—J. McClatchey, of Sacramento. For Clerk of Supreme Court—S. B. Caswell, of Los Angeles. For Supt. Public Instruction—James Denman, of San Francisco. We remember of reading an item in the Santa Barbara Press a few weeks ago concerning C. E. Laitellaide. Our recollection of the matter is that he got on a most protracted spree, (as a great many better men have done before him) and becoming involved in a brawl with a peace officer, he, with the assistance of some of his boon companions, gave that official a thrashing. He was subsequently arrested, found guilty of the offense, and fined. But, of course, we do not intend to intimate that he would not be a fit associate for the other gentlemen named in the Telephone's ticket, or that he could not discharge the duties of State Treasurer with ability and fidelity. A Domestic Episode. From Tuesday's Star. Yesterday we had varied excitements. The eclipse was anticipated, but a fight in front of the Opera House and a broil in front of Junge's drug store, Temple Block, on Main street, were not expected. Yesterday afternoon about five o'clock as Mr. V. Wolfenstein came out of the Main street entrance to his gallery he discovered his wife, against whom he has a divorce suit pending, talking to W.R.Bettin, a well known constable and quite a genial young man. Mr.Wolfenstein is rather excitable, but we must say he was justifiable in this case, and his comments to Mr.Bettin were not of a friendly character, so the parties came to blows. Wolfenstein got one or two severe blows in on Bettin's face, when they were separated by a bystander. Hardly had they been separated when they clinched again, Bettin getting Wolfenstein under and attempting to kick him in the face, when the same bystander again interfered. We do not know how the fight would have ended, but Wolfenstein would have won, To say that this is true have seen in ten months amounta to not been among the people tertainment and refresh impossible in Dublin New York to make an dram-shops and garden out seeing many saloons would be scenicness from which those would go home to beat dren.

Five such parties were organized, and the points of observation were at Creston, Wyoming; Pueblo, Colorado; Central City, Colorado, and Pike's Peak. In addition to the above Government expeditions, there were probably a dozen other scientists who made observations on their own account. It is said that a great deal of malarial fever prevails in the country south of here—in the vicinity of Santa Ana and Gospel Swamp, etc. Anaheim, on the contrary, is almost totally free from disease of any kind. It is difficult to account for the immunity this place has enjoyed in this matter. Even when small-pox, scarlatina, and diphtheria were epidemic and raging with great virulence in almost every part of the county, not a single case appeared in Anaheim or its immediate vicinity. We may have mentioned this fact once or twice in previous paragraphs, but it is such a gratifying climatic feature that we may be pardoned if we make frequent reference to it. Everything placed upon the earth is said to fulfill some purpose indispensable to the smooth workings of nature. But it is only at this late day that the discovery has been made that the gopher and squirrel are here for other purposes than to cause vexation and loss to tillers of the soil. It is gravely announced that the continued destruction of these animals will be disastrous in its consequences, because were it not for the subterranean excavations of the gopher and squirrel our winter rains would run off into the ocean or be evaporated, instead of penetrating to the lower strata through the holes made by "the pests," and thus keep our valleys moist and augment the flow of our arterial wells. Verily, everything has its uses. An obliging editor publishes this: If any subscriber finds a line in his paper that he does not like and cannot agree with, if he will bring his paper to the office and point out the offending line, the editor will take his scissors and cut it out for him. Gen. Garfield, in his recent address to the Ohio editors, paid the following just tribute to General McDowell: "During our late war General McDowell, one of the noblest and most accomplished soldiers of the Union, was most unjustly assaulted by a group of war correspondents who represented him to the country as incompetent, drunken, and perhaps disloyal. It was circumstantially stated that on one occasion he was so drunk that he nearly reeled from his horse. As a consequence, he rested for a long time under this cloud of cruel and unjust suspicion. He is almost the only adult man I ever knew of whom it can be said with truth that he never tasted spiritual liquor, tea, coffee or tobacco; and yet several millions of his countrymen were made to believe, and perhaps many of them still believe, that he lost the battle of Bull Run in consequence of intolination." Drunkenness in Wine-Drinking Countries. In the south of France, in the midst of a great crowd of people, I saw a man on the ground. Curious to know what was the matter, I said to one of the people: "Is the man hurt?" The answer was short, but it was given with a shrug of disgust, "Drunk!" I walked on, leaving the gaping crowd sharing at the spectacle. In England or my own country a man drunk is a sight so common that a crowd would not gather and gaze on him as on a wild beast in a cage. In a journey that has now taken me through the chief cities of France, Germany, and Italy, this is the first person I have seen drunk. I have been, and have taken pains to go, where men would be likely to get drunk, if anywhere. If a fair, or out-of-door show, review or national games were going on, it has been my practice to mingle with the common people and see how they spend their time when not at work. The habits of the masses of mankind are a study far more interesting to me, than the manners and customs of the rich and the great. They who have money and time to spend as they please live substantially the same everywhere. But the poor must live as they can, and their manner of life varies with the climate and soil, and therefore the products of the land they live in. Nor is it possible to know the habits of a people, the working people especially, by simply riding through a country on the railway and lodging at hotels. Many writers make profound observations on the state of morals and religion, on the domestic life and habits of a country of which they have seen nothing except through the windows of a carriage. To say that this is the first drunken man I have seen in ten months of travel on the continent, amounts to nothing unless one has been among the people, in their places of entertainment and refreshment. It would be impossible in Dublin, Edinburg, London, or New York to make an evening tour of the dram-shops and gardens of amusement without seeing many people intoxicated. The saloons would be scenes of riot and drunkenness, from which those who could go at all would go home to beat their wives and children. Punch recently had this terrible satire: two men were pounding each other in so mild that the stimulus of strong drink is not needed. If they wanted it they could have it. Brandy costs three times as much in New York as in France. In the north of Europe drunkenness prevails as it does in the United States. In the south of Europe it does not.—Letter of Rev. Dr. Prime, Editor New York Observer. The Horticultural Fair Premiums We have before us, says the Express, an advance sheet of premiums offered by the Southern District Horticultural Society for contributions to the first annual exhibition of that Society, to be held at the new Pavilion from October 14 to the 19th inclusive. We regret our inability to publish the list in full, but shall give such a synopsis of it as its peculiar character will admit. The Society preface their agricultural list with the following paragraph: All articles for which the following premiums are offered, if of California manufacture, will receive the premium of cash, and the Society's Diploma; if not, they will receive the Diploma only. A year's subscription—Volume II—of the Southern California Horticulturist is offered in various places throughout the list as a second premium. The First Department includes three classes. Class I.—Agricultural implements.—Premiums ranging from $2 for the best garden drill to $20 for the best display of agricultural machinery of any one house.

FROM ANAHEIM TO SANTA MONICA AND RETURN. SUNDAY, AUGUST 4th. 1878. Train Will Leave To say that this is the first drunken man I have seen in ten months of travel on the continent, amounts to nothing unless one has been among the people, in their places of entertainment and refreshment. It would be impossible in Dublin, Edinburgh, London, or New York to make an evening tour of the dram-shops and gardens of amusement without seeing many people intoxicated. The saloons would be scenes of riot and drunkenness, from which those who could go at all would go home to beat their wives and children. Punch recently had this terrible satire: two men were pounding each other in the street; another ruhes between them and cries out: "What do you mean by beating one another: have you no wives at home?" Perhaps there is no worse place than Naples in Italy or France. It has a bad reputation for morals, and if there is one place where there would be more intemperance than another, we would expect it to be Naples. When I was there last winter I saw it outside and in. The streets were like a long holiday. The people were as lively as if they were all on a spree. Is sometimes thought they were. One evening I was passing a wine shop. The door was open, as the shop doors are open at all times. We would call it a saloon: a drinking saloon. A score of men and women were seated at little tables smoking and drinking, and all talking in the jolliest fashion. It was not a place that a quiet stranger would care to enter. In Water street or Baxter in New York it would not be safe to go in. But I was disposed to see just how they managed such places in Naples, and walking in, I took a seat at one of the tables, at which two or three men were sitting with their wine before them. They asked me to drink, but I declined. A waiter came to me and asked what I would have. I said that I merely wished to sit for a moment, and giving him more than any one in the room would pay, I sat and looked on. No one took any notice of me, though I was certainly dressed very unlike the motley company. They were of the lower class of people, such as we at home would call the lowest. They were very lively. Laughing and talking gaily, not noisily, smoking, and drinking cheap and poor wine, they seemed to enjoy themselves in their way, and that way was to please one another. Not an angry word, not a dispute of any sort, disturbed the general jollity of the hour. The worst feature of the place was its smell. What with poor tobacco and the garlic that pervades their persons, dress and breath, and the unspeakable dirt in which they have their being, these low Italians are to my senses intolerable. I sat in the midst of them as long as my stomach and nose would permit, and I left them as quietly as I entered. Probably none of those people would go away tipsy, but all were drinking treely, and supposed they were having a frolic. Another and a better way of learning the effects of intoxicating liquor on the people is to read the police reports in the daily local newspapers. This I do every day. They are substantially the same as in the English and with this grand difference. The Second Department includes textile fabrics and the materials from which they are made. The highest premium is $20 for the best display of woolen goods from one factory. Class II.-Includes clothing; hats, caps, furs, needle work, shell and wax-work. There are two $10 premiums in this class—for the best display of children's and ladies' clothing and for the best display of millinery. The Third Department includes nine classes, as follows: manufacturers of leather; worked metals, stoves, castings, etc.; musical instruments, cabinet ware, printing, binding, etc.; wooden ware; philosophical, sporting, surgical, dental, drawing, painting, surveying and leveling instruments and apparatus, etc., of fine American workmanship; chemicals, etc., stoneware, bricks and tiles; minerals, fossils, birds, fishes, etc. The premium range from $2 to $10 in this department. The Fourth Department is devoted to agricultural products, and comprises six classes, as follows: Flour and grain; vegetables, roots, etc.; vegetables of the melon and squash class and the small kitchen growths; flowers; cheese and butter; bread, etc. The range of premiums in this department is from $1 to $10. The Fifth Department embraces the horticultural products, and is divided into six classes as follows: Class I.-Northern fruits, including apples, pears, peaches, plums and figs. Premiums for the best display of all the fruits,$10, and $5 for the best contribution of each variety. Class II.-Semi-tropical fruits, consisting of oranges, lemons and limes. For the best exhibits of the two former $10 each, and $10 for best specimen of California lime-juice. Class III.-Honey, preserves, pickles, etc. Highest premium $5 for the best display of fruit in glass. Class IV.-Dried and preserved fruits, nuts, etc. Premiums ranging from $2 to $5. Class V.-Fruit trees. Best exhibit of citrus family,$10; best seedling orange, lemon and lime trees,$10; best budded orange and lemon trees,$10. Second best of same,$5 each. Class VI.-Wines and brandies. Premiums of $10 each for the best grape brandy of the vintage of 1875 and for the best of 1876. Dry wines, all classes,$5 each for the best contributions. The Sixth Department is devoted to the Fine Arts and is divided into five classes, as follows: Paintings, drawings, etc.; sculpture and marble work; paintings by minors; engraving; designs. The highest premium is $20 for the best exhibition of paintings by one artist. The other premiums range from $2 to $10. The Society will accept contributions not included in their printed list,and on a favorable report by the committees they will be entitled to either a diploma or to a volume of the Horticulturist, or both. One of the great charms of college life is that you can always have much company,a pervades their persons, dress and breath, and the unspeakable dirt in which they have their being, these low Italians are to my senses intolerable. I sat in the midst of them as long as my stomach and nose would permit, and I left them as quietly as I entered. Probably none of those people would go away tipy, but all were drinking freely, and supposed they were having a frolic. Another and a better way of learning the effects of intoxicating liquor on the people is to read the police reports in the daily local newspapers. This I do every day. They are substantially the same as in the English and American papers, with this grand difference, there are no arrests, or very few, of persons intoxicated, or who have committed offenses in consequence of intoxication. I will now take up the daily paper of this morning in a city of 55,000 inhabitants, where many kinds of vice, including gambling and licentiousness, abound. I do not yet know what will be the police returns of yesterday, but I will see, and report exactly the facts. Only four arrests are mentioned. These were for, 1. Highway robbery. 2. Theft of a watch. 3. Injury to trees in the park. 4. Begging. I have read the reports forty days in this city, and have not seen one, no not one, instance such as we see daily in the New York papers and the London papers of men arrested for outrages upon their families or companions while under the influence of liquor. I do not say such things do not occur. But they must be very rare, for they do not come to public notice, and there is no motive for concealing them. They would be just as readily published as any other crime. The testimony of these facts and observations is that drunkenness is far, very far, from being so common in southern France and Italy as it is in Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States. Other visitors may bear other testimony, but as in a court of justice each witness is required to tell what he knows, so this is what I have seen, or is given to the best of my knowledge and belief. And is this absence of intoxication caused by the fact that they drink wine rather than spirits: fermented instead of distilled liquors? No. The use of wine is the effect, not the cause. They drink wine because the climate follows: Paintings, drawings, etc.; sculpture and marble work; paintings by minors; engraving; designs. The highest premium is $20 for the best exhibition of paintings by one artist. The other premiums range from $2 to $10. The Society will accept contributions not included in their printed list, and on a favorable report by the committees they will be entitled to either a diploma or to a volume of the Horticulturist, or both. One of the great charms of college life is that you can always have much company, a little, or none at all, just as you please. There is at Oxford and Cambridge a custom known as "sporting the oak," which means shutting your outer door, that particularly commended itself to Shelley. "The oak," said he to a college chum, "is such a blessing! It goes far toward making this place a paradise. In what other spot in the world, surely in none that I have hitherto visited, can you say confidently, 'It is perfectly impossible, physically impossible, that I should be disturbed.' Whether man desire solitary study, or to enjoy the society of a friend or two, he is secure against interruption. The bore arrives; he may knock, call, kick, leave his card, that you may rejoice at your escape. Who invented the oak—the invention of the science of living in rooms or chambers? The monks. None but men who were reputed to devote themselves for many hours to prayers and holy abstraction would ever have been permitted quietly to place at pleasure such a barrier between themselves and the world. We now reap their reputation for sanctity." A New York paper describes a new dance, which bears the euphonious name of "The Triple Scoot." It is the sidewise movement of a crab, accelerated a thousandfold. It consists of three quick slides, like steps of the old-fashioned schottische, introduced at irregular intervals in the ordinary waltz. The wonder is how the pair manage to do it simultaneously. There must be some preconcerted signal, such as a squeeze of the waist or hand. The first effect on the spectator is rather startling. Nothing so much like stage dancing has ever before been introduced into parlars. Change of Firm! Selling off for 60 days Webster, Howe & Co. Garden Grove Store.
