WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...AUGUST 10, 1878. Dissolution of Coppartnership. ANAHEIM, July 31st, 1878. The coppartnership 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. ATHZARN. WORK FOR THE CONVENTION. One of the most important measures that will occupy the time of the Constitutional Convention is the remodeling of the judiciary system. All concede that the present system is radically defective, and a change is imperatively demanded, and on the Convention will devolve the delicate duty of fishing out from the mass of suggestions which have already been made, a judicial plan which will remedy the abuses now so loudly complained of. The inefficiency of the present system is well illustrated in the case of the Anaheim Water Company. Thirteen months ago that corporation instituted a suit in the District Court against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company and others, to determine the question of water rights. By reason of relationship to interested parties, the Judge of this district was disqualified, and the hearing was had before the Judge of the adjoining judicial district. Upon some slight technicality, the case was thrown out of court. Three days after, the Anaheim Water Company were ready to again appear in court, they having perfected the matter which had operated against them in the first trial. But during all these thirteen months they have not been given a single opportunity to bring their case forward. It is an outrage. The case is of the greatest magnitude, involving the welfare of hundreds of valuable citizens. In England and other European countries a case of such great importance would be given a speedy hearing, and the less important cases would have to give way. It is probable that it will be impossible for this delay. THE GRAPESYRUP PROJECT. We had a call from Mr. T. P. Hinde the other day, who came to discuss with us regarding our suggestion that the manufacture of grape syrup in Anaheim would be a profitable enterprise, and desirable because it would make a market for grapes which now rot on the vines. Since reading what the Gazette had to say in the matter, Mr. Hinde has thought much upon the subject. He has come to the conclusion that there is profit in the enterprise, and is disposed to give it a trial. As he already possesses ample room in his brewery building, and an abundance of vats, tanks, barrels, etc., the expense of fitting up for the manufacture of syrup will not be very heavy. If the grape growers really desire to see an industry of this kind started, they should either call immediately upon Mr. Hinde or upon the editor of this paper, and give some assurance that they will do all in their power to help the enterprise along. If Mr. Hinde will invest his money, and give his time to building up this industry, it would not be asking too much of those growers who expect to profit by the factory to charge nothing, or next to nothing; for this year's crop of grapes. It is to be supposed that until the owner of the factory becomes thoroughly acquainted with the mode of manufacture, a great deal of syrup will be destroyed, and the producers should be willing to lessen the risk by furnishing the manufacturer enough grapes to experiment with. In looking over the old files of the Gazette, we came across the following letter, written to an inquirer by J. C. Weinberger, of St. Helena, Napa county: The apparatus I use is a No. 4 evaporator, with a portable furnace, manufactured by the Biyneyer Manufacturing Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, costing delivered in San Francisco, $163 in currency, with directions how to use the same. A clarifying pan is further needed to purify the juice after it is expressed from the grape, which is done in the following manner: The pan is made of planished copper, and sets in a boiler filled partially with water, which is brought to a boil. After the juice gets thoroughly heated, the acid is cut with some slaked lime—say about two pounds of lime to 100 pounds of juice—about a gallon of slacked lime of the consistency of cream. Let the juice remain in the clarifier for six hours, when it will be found that all impurities have settled to the bottom. It should then be drawn off carefully and put in tanks placed close to the evaporator, ready to convert into syrup. It takes about three gallons of juice to make Washington's regular correspondence. Secretary Sherman continued his schemes for the bondholder, whom he first further interest of his partner next in his regard. Perhaps he considers first are the interests of John Snyder an idea that by forestall reaching even a temporary fall elections, he can hearers and the Republican party personal canvass. And in this ing every effort to bring all equality between gold and backs. One scheme he practiced in order to put gold and have it appear that resulted, is to change their gold coins paid out by their custom has been to pay out eagles, but now Sherman quarter-eagles and dollar coins, he thinks, will be freely, and will at least bringance of resumption. His intention will not be so much disposing small coins and they will go and this will bring out coin nominations that have been years. The bondholding interest asserting that the Secretary able to resume:" that "remaintained," and that "he out the least risk." From one of the bondholder, all these true. The Secretary can least risk" to the usual security is ample. He can least risk to the Treasurer gardd the Treasury as an has nothing to do with people, as an institution who is to guard the interests of But no greater delusion was than that cherished by that specie payments, once social question as a political issue and the people will acquiesce as a thing accomplished. and growing strength of this party did not show that tha MICHAEL REESE'S DEATH. The death of Michael Reese has set people to wondering first, how much he was worth; and, second, what disposal will be made of his property. Somewhere between five and ten millions is the answer to the first question; but it is too soon to answer the second. It is said, however, that before leaving San Francisco he made a will which contained the following bequests: To the State University of California, $650,000, to be expended by the Board of Regents as they may deem proper; to the Protestant Orphan Asylum, $25,000; to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, $25,000; Ladies' Protection and Relief Society, $25,000; Catholic Orphan Asylum, $25,000; Lying in Hospital, $15,000. with Robert C. Johnson appointed as trustee; Joseph Rosenberg, his nephew, who holds his power of attorney, $30,000; Mr. Leonard, clerk, $2500; Mrs. Dr. Eckel, $2500; to each of his five sisters in Chicago, $250,000. The estate is to be sold and realized upon as early as practicable, and the residue after paying the above bequests is to be equally divided among his heirs. Joseph Rosenberg, nephew, of San Francisco, and Mr. Rosenberg, brother-in-law, residing in Chicago, are appointed executors. This will was signed and sealed about the 15th of March last, and D. O. Mills and Wm. Alvord are its signers as witnesses. Before his departure Mr. Reese presented his nephew, Joseph Rosenberg, with a large amount, ranging between $20,-000 and $50,000, in Government bonds, gas and water stocks. Deceased left an indebtedness of $1,020,000 in call loans. A great deal of ridicule and much cheap wit has been leveled at Mr. Reese, chiefly on account of his penuriousness and avaricious habits. He lived cheaply, and almost meanly, but it is now remembered to his credit that he was ever ready to help such of his numerous relatives as were worthy of his bounty and chose to ask for it. Through all the vicissitudes of his early career he provided liberally for the support of his aged parents as well as for his brothers and sisters, and continued to provide for them up to the time of his death. Taking these facts, in connection with the supposed disposal of his property, it is plain that while living he was in currency, with directions how to use the same. A clarifying pan is further needed to purify the juice after it is expressed from the grape which is done in the following manner: The pan is made of plainished copper, and sets in a boiler filled partially with water, which is brought to a boil. After the juice gets thoroughly heated, the acid is cut with some slaked lime—say about two pounds of lime to 100 pounds of juice—about a gallon of slaked lime of the consistency of cream. Let the juice remain in the clarifier for six hours, when it will be found that all impurities have settled to the bottom. It should then be drawn off carefully and put in tanks placed close to the evaporator, ready to convert into syrup. It takes about three gallons of juice to make one gallon of syrup. One ton of grapes will yield about 130 gallons of juice, or about 42 gallons of syrup. A brisk fire is needed while boiling, and care must be taken not to let the juice scorch while running over the evaporator—a constant flow of which is maintained. The syrup which I made last fall found a ready market at 50 cents per gallon. I made 2,000 gallons of Mission grapes, paying therefor from eight to ten dollars per ton, and found it profitable. I don't know whether large quantities can be sold, as it is a new thing and takes time to introduce it. A wine press is also needed, a crusher and several tanks. The pummice may be fermented and sold as inferior wine or else fed to stock. ODESSA WHEAT AGAIN. It may be that our non-agricultural readers find our frequent reference to this subject a trifle monotonous, but as we consider that the extensive cultivation of this wheat will be of incalculable benefit to this county, we propose, without apology, to keep recurring to this subject until the importance of sowing the Odessa has been sufficiently impressed upon the farmers of the county. The history of the introduction of this wheat into the county is somewhat peculiar. In 1875, a friend of the Miles Bros., residing in Minnesota, sent them through the mail a four-pound package of this Odessa wheat. It lay about their office for some time, and by frequent handling and knocking about, over a pound was destroyed. The remainder was sown, and in the course of time a sack of wheat was realized. This in turn was sown by Mr. John Gwin, but owing to the drouth, the product was only fifty sacks. These fifty sacks were sown the past season by different farmers on different kinds of soil, and the result was highly gratifying. The wheat seems to be utterly impervious to rust. This season has certainly been the most trying one to agricultural products in the history of the State, and in the best wheat-growing counties rust has reduced the crop nearly two-thirds. But the Odessa was not affected in the slightest degree, and yielded twenty sacks to the acre. In conversation with Mr. Gwin on Thursday, he spoke in terms of great praise of this wheat. He has raised this year one thousand sacks, the wheat being as fine a quality as one could wish. It has been sown on various kinds of soil, and has grown equally well everywhere. No perceptible difference in the yield has been observed between that grown on heavy black soil and that grown on sandy soil. Still another point in its favor is that no matter how early it is sown, it will security is ample. He can least risk to the Treasury as an has nothing to do with the people, as an institution who is to guard the interests of But no greater delusion war than that cherished by that that specie payments, once cial question as a political issue and the people will acquiesce as a thing accomplished. And growing strength of that party did not show that such intention might never consent to be taxed three hundred millions of treasury in order to make able and all debts more secure any of the schemes or plans scarce and dear and prices between the two sides on well enough defined to be the common mind, and that The accomplishment of reservation victory, and may one for the capitalists, entirely overlooked in their risk that the people will need to their operations. That producer and consumer of taxation of which our reveler who in the end bears all that last getting mad. It would on the part of those who had packing to take off some of it as they can before his ang action.

Pat responded in an audible behind his hand,"Shu already." wit has been leveled at Mr. Reese, chiefly on account of his penuriousness and avaricious habits. He lived cheaply, and almost meanly, but it is now remembered to his credit that he was ever ready to help such of his numerous relatives as were worthy of his bounty and chose to ask for it. Through all the vicissitudes of his early career he provided liberally for the support of his aged parents as well as for his brothers and sisters, and continued to provide for them up to the time of his death. Taking these facts, in connection with the supposed disposal of his property, it is plain that while living he was misjudged and treated harshly. Mr. Reese possessed traits of character which should entitle his memory to be honored. Here in Anaheim, speculation is rife as to the disposition to be made of the Alamitos rancho, belonging to the estate of Michael Keese. It is without doubt one of the very finest bodies of land in the county, and if it is subdivided into small tracts it will be eagerly bought up. Our section of the county would be greatly benefited if such a course is pursued, and we hope that the executors of the dead millionaire will either be forced to sell the rancho in small tracts, or that they will consider such a policy for the best interests of the estate. Since writing the above we learn that Mr. Bixby has a lease of the rancho for five years; and, of course, matters will remain in statu quo until the lease expires. Our Westminster correspondent, he of the Latin nom de plume, propounds a pithy conundrum, and then suggests that "Stella" follow the example of our Mormon friend, Mrs. Stanhouse, and "tell it all." It is to be hoped that "Stella" will do no such thing—at least not in the public prints. It is a controversy which no amount of newspaper correspondence will aid in settling. On the contrary, the effect of such a course would be to keep alive a question which the cause of religion and the peace of the colony alike demand should be speedily sunk in oblivion. The Supreme Court of Alabama has just decided that a pig is a hog. HOLLISER, August 6.—A fire occurred today in Santa Ana valley, seven miles east of Hollister, on Louis Arquez's ranch, by sparks from the smokestack of a thresher, and ran over a space of half a mile wide and four and a half miles long, burning wheat, hays, stubble, and stock feed valued at $7000 to $8000. But the Odessa was not affected in the slightest degree, and yielded twenty sacks to the acre. In conversation with Mr. Gwin on Thursday, he spoke in terms of great praise of this wheat. He has raised this year one thousand sacks, the wheat being of as fine a quality as one could wish. It has been sown on various kinds of soil, and has grown equally well everywhere. No perceptible difference in the yield has been observed between that grown on heavy black soil and that grown on sandy soil. Still another point in its favor is that, no matter how early it is sown, it will not head out in time to be affected by the April frosts. Mr. Gwin has sowed it at various times, but it seems to ripen at one particular season, regardless of the time when it was sown. But it has still other virtues. It will grow with less moisture than any other grain, and it will grow thriftily on land too wet for other cereals. It produced very well last year on land so dry that any other crop would have died an early death. Mr. Gwin will put in five hundred acres of this wheat next year. As forty pounds of seed is all that is required to the acre, he will have about seven hundred sacks to dispose of. He has been offered five cents a pound for the whole lot by residents of the upper portion of the county, but he proposes to keep as much of it here as possible, so as to encourage its growth in this section. There seems to be no doubt that this variety is adapted to the conditions met with in this county, and it is easy to trace the great progress which will follow its general cultivation here. If two thousand acres of wheat are sown in the vicinity of Anaheim next year, as there ought to be, a flouring mill will be built in town, and the wheat worked into flour almost at the farmer's door. There is no doubt about this. Anaheim possesses men of wealth who only await the opportunity to embark in such an enterprise. As an illustration of the legislation into the last hour is now found that Congress June passed a bill intended of claim agents in pension was to benefit the claimant now found that the same had a hundred men to take a case, and that the penalty cessive fee is done away with inevitably lead to the plea claimants by unscrupulous laws of this kind, where they out of its legitimate way terer of contracts between parties be great deliberation before in long established laws. See what confusion may arise from an amendment of sequence. Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAREITE. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27. Secretary Sherman continues the incubation of his schemes for the benefit of the bondholder, whose first serves, and in the further interest of his party, which comes next in his regard. Perhaps these two should be rated second and third, respectively, as the interests he considers first and all the time, are the interests of John Sherman. He has an idea that by forestalling Congress, and reaching even a temporary resumption before the fall elections, he can help the bondholders and the Republican party in the Congressional canvass. And in this view he is straining every effort to bring about an apparent equality between gold and silver and green-backs. One scheme he proposes to put in practice in order to put gold into circulation and have it appear that resumption is accomplished, is to change the denomination of gold coins paid out by the Treasury. The custom has been to pay out eagles and half-eagles, but now Sherman proposes to use quarter-eagles and dollar pieces. The smaller coins, he thinks, will be circulated more freely, and will at least bring out an appearance of resumption. His idea is that there will not be so much disposition to hoard the small coins and they will go into circulation, and this will bring out coins of the same denominations that have been locked up for years. The bondholding interests are continually asserting that the Secretary is "now fully able to resume;" that "resumption can be maintained," and that "he can resume without the least risk." From the point of view of the bondholder, all these statements are true. The Secretary can resume "without the least risk" to the usurer, provided his security is ample. He can resume without the least risk to the Treasury itself, if we regard the Treasury as an institution which has nothing to do with the welfare of the people, as an institution whose chief function is to guard the interests of the bondholders. But no greater delusion was ever entertained than that cherished by the specie fanatics that specie payments, once begun, the financial question as a political issue will be settled and the people will acquiesce in resumption as a thing accomplished. Even if the great and growing strength of the National Labor party did not show that the masses have no Hote Raisins are Prepared. A strip of land bordering the Mediterranean, somewhat less than 100 miles in length, and in width not exceeding 5 or 6, is the raisin producing territory of Spain. Beyond these boundaries the Muscatel grape, from which the raisin is principally produced, may grow and thrive abundantly, but the fruit must go to the market or the wine press. When the grapes begin to ripen in August the farmer carefully inspects the fruit as it lies on the soil, and one by one clips the clusters as they reach perfection. In almost all vineyards slants of masoury are prepared, looking like unglazed hot-beds, and covered with fine pebbles, on which the fruit is exposed to dry. But the small proprietor prefers not to carry his fruit so far. It is better, he thinks, to deposit the fruit nearer at hand where there is less danger of bruising, and where bees and wasps are less likely to find them. Day by day the cut branches are examined and turned, till they are sufficiently cured to be borne to the house, usually on the hill-top, and there deposited in the empty wine press, till enough have been gathered for the trimmers and packers to begin their work. At this stage great piles of rough dried raisins are brought forth from the wine press, and heaped upon boards. One by one the bunches are carefully inspected, those of the first quality being trimmed of all irregularities and imperfect berries and deposited in piles by themselves; so in turn are treated those of the second quality, and the clippings and inferior fruit are received into baskets at the feet of the trimmers and reserved for home consumption. A quantity of small wooden trays are now brought forward, just the size of the common raisin box and about an inch deep. In these, papers are neatly laid, so as to lap over and cover the raisins evenly deposited in the trays, which are then subjected to heavy pressure in a rude press. After pressing the raisins are dropped in the boxes for market. Attachment to Newspapers. Some one who seems to know about the relation of a good newspaper to the family writes as follows: "The strong attachment of subscribers to well conducted newspapers is fully confirmed by publishers. 'Stop my paper,' words of dread to beginners in business, lose their terror after a paper has been established for years. So long as a paper..." Attachment to Newspapers. Some one who seems to know about the relation of a good newspaper to the family writes as follows: "The strong attachment of subscribers to well conducted newspapers is fully confirmed by publishers. 'Stop my paper,' words of dread to beginners in business, lose their terror after a paper has been established for years. So long as a paper pursues a just, honorable and judicious course, meeting the wants of its customers in all respects, the ties of friendship between the subscribers and the paper are as hard to break by an outside third party as the link which bind old friends in business or social life. Occasional defects and errors in a newspaper are overlooked by those who have become attached to it, through its perusal, for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columns, and may stop taking it; but the absence of the familiar sheet from their homes and offices for a few weeks becomes an insupportable privation, and they hasten to take it again, and possibly apologize for having it stopped. No friendship on earth is more constant than that contracted by the reader for a journal that makes an honest and earnest effort to merit its continued support. Hence a conscientiously conducted paper becomes a favorite in the family." Strike of Shoemakers. Chicago, August 6.—Six hundred journeymen shoemakers of this city struck this morning for an advance of wages from nine to twelve dollars. They have refused the offer of the employers to compromise on $10.50 per week. There are 1000 shoemakers of this class in Chicago, and those who have not already struck threento do so. The strike includes all the leading wholesale houses. A church in Chicago was scandalized recently by the efforts of a sewing machine man to make the congregation an advertising medium. Just before church time he had a number of fans placed in the pews. These fans were of the shut-up kind, and it was not until the people began to fan themselves that the discovery was made that each fan was embellished with a conspicuous advertisement of the sewing machine man's business. Salt Lake Tribune: Green corn is again in Zion. As the eagle is the emblem of the great Republic, so should green corn be the emblem of Utah. It rid the Territory of a tyrant, gave freedom to his slaves, and should be emblazoned on every banner. We tell the Twelve Apostles, the hydra-heads of the Latter-day fraud, that green corn is here, and earnestly impress upon their minds that as they are followers of Brig., they should also follow his noble example and eat green corn. Partake of it freely, eat it early and security is ample. He can resume without the least risk to the Treasury itself, if we regard the Treasury as an institution which has nothing to do with the welfare of the people, as an institution whose chief function is to guard the interests of the bondholders. But no greater delusion was ever entertained than that cherished by the specie fanatics that species payments, once begun, the financial question as a political issue will be settled and the people will acquiesce in resumption as a thing accomplished. Even if the great and growing strength of the National Labor party did not show that the masses have no such intention, we might be sure that they will never consent to be taxed to keep two or three hundred millions of idle metal in the Treasury in order to make bonds more valuable and all debts more burdensome; nor will they submit to a system which makes the volume of currency and its purchasing value entirely subject to foreign influences, such as the Bank of England's rate of discount or the state of exchanges. They are evidently determined not to submit any longer to the interposition of national banks as issuers of paper money, nor in general to any of the schemes or plans for making money scarce and dear and prices low. The issues between the two sides on this question are well enough defined to be distinguishable by the common mind, and that mind is made up. The accomplishment of resumption will be a barren victory, and may prove a disastrous one for the capitalists, for there is a risk entirely overlooked in their calculations—the risk that the people will not tamely submit to their operations. That patient ass, the producer and consumer of the articles by the taxation of which our revenue is raised, and who in the end bears all the burdens, is at last getting mad. It would only be prudence on the part of those who have been doing the packing to take off some of the load as quickly as they can before his anger culminates in action. Irish Humor. The following was related by a Catholic priest, Father H——who in his mission work in Southern Colorado and New Mexico met with many extraordinary people and incidents. On one occasion he happened to hold services in a small out-of-the-way chapel, where the varied duties of janitor were discharged by a gentleman of Irish descent. During the service a child was brought forward for baptism. It may not be generally known that in the Roman Catholic ritual the priest, before touching the child with water puts a little salt into the water in the presence of the congregation. The janitor, however, had prepared the water beforehand, according to his own idea as to the proportion of salt, when the priest, having omitted to place the salt in readiness, whispered softly to his attendant: "Pat, will you please to get the salt?" Pat responded in an audible whisper from behind his hand, "Shure an' I put it in already." ward for baptism.

Pat responded in an audible whisper from behind his hand, "Shure an' I put it in already." Father H. not fully understanding, repeated his whispered request. Again Pat replied, more audibly than before, and with slight dudgeon in his tone: "Shure, and I put it in, I tell ye." "But the ritual demands that the priest should perform the ceremony before the congregation," explained Father H., considerably annoyed at the janitor's obstinacy. The Irishman procured the salt, and handling it to the priest, electrified him, as well as the congregation, with the remark, delivered in a surly growl: "Here ye are; bedad ye can make a pickle of it if ye want to!" As an illustration of the evil of crowding legislation into the last hours of a session, it is now found that Congress on the 21st of June passed a bill intended to reduce the fees of claim agents in pension claims. The idea was to benefit the claimant, of course. It is now found that the same bill permits each of a hundred men to take a fee in the same case, and that the penalty of taking an excessive fee is done away with. The act will inevitably lead to the plunder of pension claimants by unscrupulous parties. In matters of this kind, where the Government goes out of its legitimate way to regulate the matter of contracts between parties there should be great deliberation before changes are made in long established laws. No one can readily see what confusion may come in practice from an amendment of no apparent consequence. Salt Lake Tribune: Green corn is again in Zion. As the eagle is the emblem of the great Republic, so should green corn be the emblem of Utah. It rid the Territory of a tyrant, gave freedom to his slaves, and should be emblazoned on every banner. We tell the Twelve Apostles, the hydra-heads of the Latter-day fraud, that green corn is here, and earnestly impress upon their minds that as they are followers of Brig., they should also follow his noble example and eat green corn. Partake of it freely, eat it early and late—get up in the night and eat green corn. Sarah Bernhart, the French actress, has her chamber draped as black as night. Opposite the actress' bed is a large mirror, and directly in front of the mirror, stands the skeleton of a man who died for love. The skeleton was found in Italy. There it forever stares and grins ghastly at Bernhart as she lies in bed. And she loves the skeleton dearly—so she says. It calls to mind the old Roman custom of placing such a reminder of mortality at the banquet table, among the gay revellers at life's feast, to keep the hilarity within due bounds. And Bernhart's skeleton seems to perform this quiet office of guard in her chamber. The idea is very Frenchy, and quietly grim. Yuma, Aug. 7.—Considerable excitement was caused here last night by a report that the Indians intended raiding the town. A son of Mr. David Neahr, who understands their language, overheard them planning the attack. Many strange Indians have been noticed in the town lately. They have become insolent and aggressive in behavior, their passions being inflamed by whisky and the vendors not discoverable. The withdrawal of troops no doubt encourages them. The citizens, to the number of forty or fifty, armed themselves with shotguns and rifles, and ordered all Indians out of town and posted guards on the outskirts to give warning of any demonstrations by the reds. The night passed without any trouble. The same precautions will be observed until all uneasiness is allayed. FROM THE RANCH OF MR.
