Mrs. Lizzie Clark,nee Alvord, has been granted a divorce by the District Court. The Fairview store has been closed. The proprietors are turning their whole attention to their mine in Silverado. It is stated by a Los Angeles paper that the Senator, on her next trip, will sail up to Wilmington wharf. The school house is being pushed towards completion. The painter and tinner are now at work on the exterior. A. T. Hawley, formerly of the Los Angeles Star, is now editor of the Democratic Standard at Eureka, Humboldt county. A very large shipment of sheepskins and beeswax was made by Mr. Isaac Cohen yesterday. The total amount of taxable property in Anaheim School District, according to the revised and corrected assessment list, is $354,085. Messrs. Gilman and Hawkins have discovered a large deposit of mineral in the mountains between Temescal and Silverado, which is said to be tin ore. Specimens have been sent to the assayer. C. E. French, formerly Superintendent of the San Joaquin ranch, we are pleased to state, has bought the Newman property, on understand intends The Water Company's Meeting. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company, held on Saturday last, 32 shares of stock were represented. The following amendments to the by-laws were adopted: Each acre on which the amount for right of way has been paid to the Anaheim Water Company, as also all twenty-acre lots of the company, shall be credited on the stock-book of the company with $3 per acre. All shares hereafter subscribed shall pay all assessments which may be levied from and after this date. The Board of Trustees shall have power to create debts in the name of the company, subject to the approval of stockholders at any general meeting, by two-thirds majority of all stock issued. The two last amendments were adopted unanimously. The first was adopted with but one dissenting vote. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, That the Board of Trustees be empowered to raise $20,000 for the company. The intent and meaning of the amendments is sufficiently plain, but we have been asked to draw particular attention to the second one. As an illustration of its meaning, we can suppose that during the next year assessments aggregating ten dollars an acre will be levied. If B does not pay the assessments as they fall due, he is debarred from using the ditches of the company. And if, at the end of the year he is forced to use the water in the company's ditches, he must pay $10 per acre for that privilege—the amount of the assessments which have been levied during the year. The advantage of paying the small assessments as they become due is very apparent. It is easier for a majority of people to pay the assessments by installments than in a lump. SILVERADO NOTES. Various Paramaps about the Silver Mines. Silverado, Sept. 23. A noticeable change has taken place in affairs at this place during the past week. The camp fires about town have been transferred to points further up the mountains and to the tributary canyons, where they may be more accessible to the various claims. Prospectors have been transformed into actual miners. Contracts and agreements relative to the development of mines, transfers of interests, and preparations for solid work have been the order of the times. Fewer men with pick, shovel, and canteen have been seen morning and evening going and coming through the main street of town, and were it not for the fact that there has been an increased trade in the stores and saloons, one would mark the week as an unmistakably dull one. The stream of teams, three stage lines, ore wagons, loads of supplies and general traffic on the roads to Anaheim and Santa Ana, will impress an observer that the mines of the Santa Rosa Mining District are growing in importance. The amount of mail matter sent and received from this office indicates a healthy growth of business quite flattering. Preparations for winter quarters are being gradually made. But few new discoveries can be chronicled, a rich lead in Ladd's canyon and another in the vicinity of Shrewsbury being of the most importance. A 15-foot tunnel on the American Union shows a well-formed ledge with good indications of metal veins. On the Warwick, Ophir Lode, a tunnel 33 The total amount of taxable property in Anaheim School District, according to the revised and corrected assessment list, is $354,085. Messrs. Gilman and Hawkins have discovered a large deposit of mineral in the mountains between Temescal and Silverado, which is said to be tin ore. Specimens have been sent to the assayer. C. E. French, formerly Superintendent of the San Joaquin ranch, we are pleased to state, has bought the Newman property, on Fourth street, and we understand intends going into business here.—Santa Ana Herald. Deputy Sheriff Barham served papers on Monday in the suit of Pellegrin, Darling, Boege and Callien against John Azbill. This suit is brought by the plaintiff to obtain possession of a mine in Shrewsbury Canyon. One of the most handsome albums we ever saw is owned by Mr. H. Cahen. It was made to order in Paris, and presented to Mr. Cahen by a relative. It is a strong, highly ornamented book, and is worth $250. The Los Angeles Herald advises the Democracy of the county to organize and hire a hall. The recent successes of the Workingmen's Party indicate the wisdom of the advice. Unforeseen circumstances will delay the departure of Rev. J. A. Mitchell until next week. He will preach his farewell sermon at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. A good day's work was done on last Friday at the Black Star coal mine. Seventeen tons of coal were taken from the mine by twelve men. The demand for coal continues to increase. In the Probate Court on Monday the following proceeding was had: Estate of Ephriam Fithian, deceased—Citation to show cause why administrator should not be removed; submitted on briefs to be filed in five days by petitioner; 4 days to respondent and two days to petitioner to reply. A Los Angeles paper calls loudly for somebody to start a cheese factory in Los Angeles county. The editor has read the Gazette to little purpose. There is a cheese factory in full running order at Garden Grove, four miles from Anaheim. In the District Court on Friday, the following proceeding was had: "Cajon Irrigating Co. vs. Canyon de Santa Ana Co." Motion to open default argued and submitted and granted, provided affidavits of merit and a good defense be shown with excuse for delay. Mr. C. S. Miles brought with him from the East a small package of Red Mediterranean wheat, grown in Jersey, which he will sow this season to test its rust-resisting qualities. The berry resembles the Odessa in color, but is somewhat larger. Messrs. Olden, Gray and Gilman, the Erie Committee appointed by the Town can suppose that during the next year assessments aggregating ten dollars an acre will be levied. If B does not pay the assessments as they fall due, he is debarred from using the ditches of the company. And if, at the end of the year he is forced to use the water in the company's ditches, he must pay $10 per acre for that privilege—the amount of the assessments which have been levied during the year. The advantage of paying the small assessments as they become due is very apparent. It is easier for a majority of people to pay the assessments by installments than in a lump. An assessment of 50 cents per acre has been levied, payable immediately, and delinquent on October 23d. The house of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bennett, of Anaheim, was filled on Monday night with friends who called to congratulate them on the tenth anniversary of their marriage. The callers brought many tokens of esteem with them, and the amount of tinware showered upon the worthy couple was something appalling. The evening passed pleasantly in music and conversation, and after the marriage ceremony had been gone through with, the guests partook of a splendid collation. At 11 o'clock the guests took their departure, after hoping that the coming ten years will be as fraught with happiness and prosperity to Mr. and Mrs. Bennett as have those that have just passed. We have been handed the following card: We take this means of expressing our heartfelt thanks to the many friends who honored us with their presence on Monday night—the tenth anniversary of our wedding. We assure them that the many evidences of esteem kindly brought by our friends will be treasured as valued souvenirs of a happy evening. MR. AND MRS. J. H. BENNETT. A short time ago Mr. A. Langenberger in response to a letter from a New York wine house, wrote them that the crop of grapes was small, and that only half the average amount of wine would be made this year. By return mail Mr. Langenberger received a letter from the New York firm alluded to, enclosing a clipping from some German paper, which stated that the wine crop of the State would exceed that of the average year—that, in fact, the amount of wine to be manufactured would be so great that the market had already lowered in anticipation. The New York firm is evidently in a quandary. They don't know whether to believe the newspaper or Mr. Langenberger. We don't want to say anything against newspapers in general nor the German paper in particular, but we advise the vinous New Yorkers to pin their faith on Mr. Langenberger's statement. Mr. Korn, who finished wine-making yesterday, tells us that the yield is not much more than one-third the average. A gentleman recently arrived in Los Angeles proposes to engage in the business of rectifying in that city. He claims to have a process by which he can treat the ordinary aguadiente and transform it into good cognac brandy. He can also treat our wines by a mines of the cacao tree mining growing in importance. The amount of mail matter sent and received from this office indicates a healthy growth of business quite flattering. Preparations for winter quarters are being gradually made. But few new discoveries can be chronicled, a rich lead in Ladd's canyon and another in the vicinity of Shrewsbury being of the most importance. A 15-foot tunnel on the American Union shows a well-formed ledge with good indications of metal veins. On the Warwick, Ophir Lode, a tunnel 33 feet in length has developed a quantity of ore rich in appearance, of which no assay has yet been made. The incline on the Huntington mine, Southern Slope, has reached a depth of 55 feet, with the same character of rock as has been produced from this mine. This ledge now shows well defined walls. The hanging wall is of solid and smooth slate. Several distinct veins of rich ore, carrying some galena, traverse the leedge. The Flanigan mine, Blue Light Company, has developed by a cross-out and drift a ledge between five and six feet in width, bearing an ore stratum eighteen inches wide, of heavy galena. The Taylors, Florentine Co., have struck several seams of splendid ore in a sixty-foot tunnel. R. B. Simpson & Co., in running a second contract tunnel for Whitehead & Co., were stopped in their work by a large body of water breaking through the roof of the tunnel and blocking it with earth. Work was again commenced this morning with a force of four men. The miners of Trabuco, Williams, and that portion of Shrewsbury canyon not embraced within the boundaries of Santa Rosa Mining District, purpose the organization of a new district. A meeting of the miners of those vicinities has been called for Oct. 12th. Two energetic and public-spirited ladies have opened a boarding house and hotel for the accommodation of visitors to the mines, in the building formerly occupied by Dan Leaman for the same purpose. The necessities of the Recorder's office, assay business, and the corporosity of the general Recorder, requiring enlarged quarters, Recorder Clark is making preparations for an addition to his building. Cash Harvey's new dwelling house is about ready for occupancy, and may be said to be the most pretentious edifice in town. Mr. Phillips, of the San Francisco Chronicle, visited the mines last week. He expressed himself well pleased with the prospects. The new stage line to Los Angeles is making tri-weekly trips, and rumor has it that another line to Santa Ana is talked of. PERSONALS. J. J. Guinn, after two weeks recreation at Taylor's camp in Pine Canyon, has returned to his ranch. Messrs. Halberstadt and Oefinger are having work on their claim. An occasional visit lowing proceeding was had: Cajon Irving Co. vs. Canyon de Santa Ana Co.—Motion to open default argued and submitted and granted, provided affidavits of merit and a good defense be shown with excuse for delay. Mr. C. S. Miles brought with him from the East a small package of Red Mediterranean wheat, grown in Jersey, which he will sow this season to test its rust-resisting qualities. The berry resembles the Odessa in color, but is somewhat larger. Messrs. Olden, Gray and Gilman, the Fair Committee appointed by the Town Council, have added Messrs. F. A. Korn and D. E. Miles to the committee. A meeting will be had to-day, at which a programme will be agreed upon and each member of the committee assigned to some particular duty. An enterprising florist of San Diego county advertises pampas grass for sale, and says "no nicer present could be sent East than a bunch or two of this beautiful grass." It is very beautiful, but it is not so scarce here as in San Diego. It grows everywhere, and can be had without money and without price. Messrs. T. T. Hill and E. A. Pullen have made a rich strike in Silverado since we visited them last week. They were then at work on the "Warwick," and during the past few days have been taking out rock which is said to be as rich as any yet seen in the district. They have also found the Ophir ledge on the same claim. Surveyor Healey has for some days past been surveying on the Los Coyotes rancho—marking the boundary between it and the Cerritos, and replacing the stakes that have been pulled up and destroyed. At one point it was found that the owners of the Gertrudes rancho had sold three hundred acres of land belonging to the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, with the mistaken idea that it was part of the Gertrudes rancho. The parties who bought have placed valuable improvements on it. The owners of the Gertrudes rancho will be compelled to pay the Land Company for these three hundred acres otherwise they would make themselves amenable to the law for selling property to which they had no title. A gentleman recently arrived in Los Angeles proposes to engage in the business of rectifying in that city. He claims to have a process by which he can treat the ordinary aguardiente and transform it into good cognac brandy. He can also treat our wines by a similar process to their advantage, and he has a knowledge of the manufacture of Koumiss and all of the finer branches of refining. He says that our domestic liquor is impregnated with alkali, saltpetre, phosphorous and borax. All of these ingredients he eliminates by his process. A Los Angeles paper says that a considerable ripple of excitement prevades—the town of Pomona over a recent discovery of what is supposed to be a good mineral lead in the Cucamonga mountains, near the foot of "Old Baldy." The discovery was made by Mr. Joe Clark, a son-in-law of Mr. J. M. Fears, both residents of Pomona. Saturday a party of eight men started from Pomona with picks, shovels, pack animals, and provisions—in fact, a regular old-time mining outfit—to subject the ledge to a practical test of its value. Hereafter the steamer Newport will carry no freight between Wilmington and San Francisco. The owners say that the patronage accorded them by Los Angeles merchants is not sufficient to warrant them in continuing to fight the P.C. S. S. Co. The Newport, however, will call at Wilmington on her up trips for such freight as may be offered at the Wilson wharf. The Herald saves that the McFaddens have been bought off by the rival company, but the Express declares the charge malicious. In the County Court on Monday the following Grand Jury was empanneled: H. Wartenburg, Foreman; John C. Haskell, J. Bonsall, E. D. Stone, John P. Smith, C.A. Abbott, C.A. Moore, G.W.Dobbyns, E.E.Shattuch, J.W.Hooper,W.H.Morrow,J.G.Deming,W.H.Swan,G.D.Anderson,Ephriam Martin,L.F.Clapp,R.M.Hargrave,W.Hammond,Thomas Harvey. Mr. Phillips, of the San Francisco Chronicle, visited the mines last week. He expressed himself well pleased with the prospects. The new stage line to Los Angeles is making tri-weekly trips, and rumor has it that another line to Santa Ana is talked of. PERSONALS. J.J.Guinn,'after two weeks recreation at Taylor's camp in Pine Canyon, has returned to his ranch. Messrs. Halberstadt and Oefinger are having at work on their claim. An occasional visit to town to learn the news and to expound the law is the only break upon their seclusion. Cap.Ruger is on the war path, his victim being mostly quail. He in company with H.S.Knapp brought a fine lot into cash on Wednesday last. J.W.Clark has gone to Anaheim for few days. Major Kendall of San Bernardino, after brief stay in town, left for Santiago City with a load of feed. Tom Hulse, from the American Union came into town a few days since, ornament with the American flag bound around head and trimmed with the feathers of eagle lately captured. He became the spicuous centre of an amused throng of teners to his innocent prattle. Mr.J.A.Woodhouse, who has been town for some time taking contracts for development of claims, returns to the valley today. Mr.A.C.Taylor is sorting ore at the Flint entine claim. Thistlewaite & Harvey are in Los Angeles. Wm. Whitehead has gone for his family. Mr. Churchill of Fountain Valley is having in the discovery of a mine of soft soap specimen brought in a tin can to Mr.Kimof Santa Ana was tested and found to composed of several minerals in solution.The waga, however, denominate the soft soap.Show they be correct,it prove a bonanza to the owner and a bless to Silverado. St.Helena Star: In passing through some of our vineyards we noticed a species blight which seems to affect many vines certain localities.The leaf seems to wither,the grape does not come to maturity,running small and covered by a sort of dirty soil almost completely destroying it for any kind We have not heard it mentions nor do we know that much attention been given it,但它 seems to be spread year by year and should be looked into. GAZETTE. MER 28, 1878. ADO NOTES. Graphics about the Silver Mines. Silverado, Sept. 23. Image has taken place in afternoon the past week. The town have been transferred to the mountains and to towns, where they may be the various claims. Prospects transformed into actual lands and agreements relative to mines, transfers of installations for solid work have occurred at the times. Fewer men and canteen have been evening going and coming street of town, and were it that there has been an increase in stores and saloons, one week as an unmistakably team of teams, three stage loads of supplies and genie roads to Anaheim and express an observer that the Rosa Mining District are finance. Mail matter sent and re-office indicates a healthy quite flattering. Winter quarters are being discovered can be chronicled, God's canyon and another in Crewsbury being of the most interest on the American Union led ledge with good indications. SUGAR CANE CULTURE. Successful Growth in Los Angeles County—Adaptability of Southern California to the Sugar Cane—Record of Temperature at Anaheim. (From the San Francisco Bulletin.) In your issue of August 29th you have an editorial on sugar cane culture in California in which you give the average monthly temperature of one year both of New Orleans and Sacramento, and after giving many good reasons why the production of cane sugar should be attempted in California you speak of experiments having already been tried in Kern and Los Angeles counties, "with results in the former that encourage the cultivator to plant on a larger scale another season." With regard to Los Angeles county the successful culture of sugar cane has long since ceased to be an experiment. Our Mexican population are passionately fond of the sweet juices of sugar cane, and there probably has not been a single season since they first settled the country, that sugar cane has not been grown and exposed for sale at the tiendas or stores at which they traded, just as it always was in the towns in Mexico and Central America. The canes seem to be well grown and completely matured, and quite as large as those I have seen in the Mexican seacoast towns. There is no question as to the practicability of raising sugar cane in this county. It is not only certain to grow, but to produce a large yield. This is known to be the great corn producing county in the State, and it not only produces large crops of ears, but also a tremendous growth of stalks, which stand from 15 to 20 feet high. Many of our farmers object to raising corn on account of its sold at the dump at $5 per ton, and it is delivered at Anaheim at $8 per ton. SUGAR CULTIVATION IN AN INVESTMENT. Sugar making requires an investment of considerable capital. We have plenty of land suitable for raising the cane, but have not the capital to put up the works. If there are any parties in San Francisco who want to try it, and will furnish the money, parties here will put in their land, and the question can easily be solved. Matured cane grown here can be tested to ascertain the percentage of saccharine matter in the juice, which will test the practicability of making sugar from the Mexican cane at present grown here. I think the sugar question can be tested by a moderate expenditure, and will be glad to hear from any parties who may desire to try it. The rates of interest are coming down, and now that greenbacks are practically at par, Eastern capital will naturally flow into California and still further reduce the rates. The owners of capital will therefore soon be obliged to seek other employment for their capital than loans and mortgages, in order to derive an income. If the cane raised here possesses the requisite proportion of saccharine juice, I know of no crop that is more certain. Yours, etc., Wm. R. Olden. Anaheim, Sept. 2, 1878. Exchanging Seeds with Russia. On calling upon Mr. N. Gray at the depot the other day, we found him packing up seed to send to the Imperial Economical Society of Russia, of which body he is a valued and active member. The Society has its headquarters in St. Petersburg, and has agents in all parts of the world, who communicate such facts as may come under their observation. The seed sent by Mr. Gray is that of the Recoveries can be chronicled, and the canyon and another in Creeksbury being of the most interest on the American Union ledge with good indications. Rock, Ophir Lode, a tunnel 33 feet deep developed a quantity ofrance, of which no assay has been found in Huntington mine, Southampton a depth of 55 feet, character of rock as has been his mine. This ledge now and walls. The hanging wall smooth slate. Several distinct carryings some galena, trapsine, Blue Light Company, by a cross-out and drift a hole and six feet in width, bearing eighteen inches wide, of Florentine Co., have struck splendid ore in a sixty-foot depth of Trabuco, Williams, and Shrewsbury canyon not embodying the boundaries of Santa Rosa. The purpose of the organization of A meeting of the miners of has been called for Oct. 12th. He and public-spirited ladies boarding house and hotel for section of visitors to the mines, formerly occupied by Dan Kane same purpose. Lines of the Recorder's office, as and the corporosity of the gen-requiring enlarged quarters, is making preparations for an building. Lady's new dwelling house is occupancy, and may be said pretentious edifice in town. Lady of the San Francisco Chronicle mines last week. He ex-fell well pleased with the pro-sage line to Los Angeles is mak-tripes, and rumor has it that Santa Ana is talked of. PERSONALS. After two weeks recreation at Pine Canyon, has returned alberstadt and Oefinger are hard to claim. An occasional visit or stores at which they traded, just as railways was in the towns in Mexico and Central America. The canes seem to be well grown and completely matured, and quite as large as those I have seen in the Mexican seacoast towns. There is no question as to the practicability of raising sugar cane in this county. It is not only certain to grow, but to produce a large yield. This is known to be the great corn producing county in the State, and it not only produces large crops of ears, but also a tremendous growth of stalks, which stand from 15 to 20 feet high. Many of our farmers object to raising corn on account of the trouble of clearing the ground of the stalks. Our valley lands have just the soil required for cane, being a rich, dark sandy loam many feet deep, with permanent water at a depth of four to six and seven feet from the surface, Sorghum and Brown corn are both perennial in our valley, and during the past winter potato and tomato vines escaped injury from frost, for the simple reason that there was none. Frosts are extremely rare about Anaheim at any time, and the temperature has never fallen below 28 degrees Fahrenheit during the coldest part of the winter, which is just before or after New Year's; say from the middle of December to the middle of January, except in one instance, and that was in April, either three or four years ago, when after a severe northerer, which had blown for a week, it fell to 22 degrees. The same blast from the Arctic was felt not only all over the northern part of the State, but all over the northern States of the Union. This extreme cold did little harm here. Corn that was up was nipped, but grew again, and it would not have injured sugar cane, as if growing at the time, it would have been small, and if nipped, it would soon have recovered as the corn did. The best lands for the culture of cane are from 8 to 20 miles from the coast, with an elevation of from 80 to 200 feet above the sea level. It is not warm enough on the low, wet lands nearer the coast, and on those famous corn lands they are liable to have both early and late frosts, which do not occur on the more elevated region I have mentioned. THE TEMPERATURE AT ANAHEIM. I will now give a table of monthly temperature for the year 1877, taken by Edwin S. Saxton of Anaheim, with a self-registering thermometer, giving the highest and lowest for each month and the monthly average: | Highest | Lowest | Lowest Avg. | Average | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | January ... | 85° | 55° | 54° | | February ... | 82 | 57 | 56 | | March ... | 81 | 55 | 58 | | April ... | 78 | 61 | 67 | | May ... | 79 | 67 | 62 | | June ... | 112 | 70 | 70 | | July ... | 100 | 71 | 72 | | August ... | 95 | 72 | 70 | | September ... | 100 | 69 | 69 | | October ... | 83 | 62 | 62 | | November ... | 80 | 67 | 60 | | December ... | 80 | 49 | 54 | The thermometers are kept in a recess on the north side of his house, where they are free from exposure to wind or reflection of the rays of the sun, and, as I before remarked, being self-registering, give the highest and lowest temperatures accurately. If this table is compared with that of New Orleans, I know of no crop that is more certain. Yours, etc., Wm. R. Olden. Anaheim, Sept. 2, 1878. Exchanging Seeds with Russia. On calling upon Mr. N. Gray at the depot other day, we found him packing up seed to send to the Imperial Economical Society of Russia, of which body he is a valued and active member. The Society has its headquarters in St. Petersburg, and has agents in all parts of the world, who communicate such facts as may come under their observation. The seed sent by Mr. Gray is that of the white and black sage, lilac, and wild coffee. His idea is to have these seeds sown in the Caucasus, where the climate is very similar to that of Southern California, and where the flowers of the above named plants will be appreciated by bee-keepers. Honey raising, Mr. Gray informs us, is quite an industry there, and of lata years much attention has been directed to orange culture. He has written to the Society to send him in exchange some Russian wheat seed, which he expects to receive in time to sow the coming season. It may be that some of the varieties which he will receive will be better suited to the conditions here than any we yet have knowledge of. In the coming Horticultural Fair Mr. Gray will exhibit oil of lemon.orange bitters,and six different perfumes extracted from orange flowers.all of which he has himself manufactured. The Milk Tree. The French Academy of Science has been discussing the galactodendron, or milk tree,and the possibility of its introduction into French Algeria. The galactodendron is a native of Venezuela.M.Boussingault,a French Chemist,while in that country accompanied a detachment of the native soldiers,they.on finding a milk tree,cut the bark with their sabresand for a time obtained their principal nourishment from its lactal sapwhich flowed in abundance.M.Boussingault analyzed the fluid,and found it to contain a fatty substance,sugar Vegetable fibrine,and some salts of potash and soda.He asserts that this tree-milk contains even more nutrition than that from the cow.It flourishes at a considerable elevation on the Andes.The galactodendron should be introduced in California.You have not so far to go for it,and doubtless a temperature could easily be found in which it would thrive.Every man might then raise his own milk. The sardine fisheries have supported many families for generations.The chief supply originally came from off Sardinia whence they take their name,but for a long time they were mainly caught on the coast of Brittany.Sardines are unusually abundant in French waters this season,and the catch will be larger than in any previous year.A sardine fleet consists of vessels of from eight to ten tons each,and a crew of from six to twelve persons,and goes six to nine miles The sardine fisheries have supported many families for generations. The chief supply originally came from off Sardinia, whence they take their name, but for a long time they were mainly caught on the coast of Brittany. Sardines are unusually abundant in French waters this season, and the catch will be larger than in any previous year. A sardine fleet consists of vessels of from eight to ten tons each, and a crew of six to twelve persons, and goes six to nine miles from land. The bait, consisting of eggs and fish, cut up, is scattered on the water. The sardines are taken with gill nets. A few are salted on board, but the bulk are carried on shore. Their heads are cut off and they are well washed and sprinkled with salt. After drying, they are arranged in frames, in almost perpendicular rows, and immersed again and again in the best boiling olive oil. When sufficiently cured they are packed in small tin boxes by women and children, after which men fill the boxes up with fresh oil and solder them tight. The work is not complete, however, for before being fit for the table the fish require cooking. To this end they are placed in a covered kettle and boiled for half an hour to an hour, according to their size. After drying, labelling, and placing in wooden cases, they are ready for shipment. The American sardine, or mensuden, is taken in large quantities off the coast of New Jersey, and put up in oil. The following letter was received last evening by Mr. Goo.
