What is to be seen in a Trip Though Southern California—Observations on the Late Fair. EDITOR GAZETTE:—It was so long ago we promised you, your Westminster correspondent and many other friends a description of the late Fair at Los Angeles that such a letter at this late day would hardly be "fair," either to you or your readers. To speak of the displays made as giving strangers anything like a correct idea of the resources and productions of our own county would be sheer folly—much more so to presume it represented all the counties embraced in "the Southern District." Let us not be understood as reflecting on the management. The gentlemen in charge did all they could to make the undertaking a success, and the result exceeded their brightest hopes, ensuring the success of future displays. Considering the past record of the so-called "fairs" at Los Angeles, no one can wonder at the apparent lack of interest shown by all the counties in the district. But we are sure that another year will witness fine exhibits from all parts of the district, causing even those who think they know the resources of Southern California to gaze with astonishment on the varied productions. That this last Fair did not better represent what can orange groves to be found anywhere; we refer to general health of the trees and quality of the fruit rather than to the extent of the orchards. COLTON. Of course you know where Colton is—"the future railroad center of California," "having a brighter future than any place on the coast;" "a soil that for productions cannot be equaled" and "the climate of all Southern California."—well we went there, were shown where "the Mojave cut off" would come down through the Cajon Pass, saving so many miles of distance and several hours of time between San Francisco and St. Louis via S. P. R. R., and make Los Angeles a "side station on the L. A. and Colton branch." The route of the "San Diego branch" was pointed out, winding and twisting up through the Temescal valley and on to the city of "climate and bay." Also the route of the "Anaheim, Santa Ana and Newport branch of the S. P." A branch will be built to San Bernardino and up to the mines of Inyo County. The railroad from Los Angeles to Santa Ana is to be abandoned and the entire interest, shops and business of the S. P. R. R., Co. will centre and be located at Colton. Now "how can a town with such prospects fail of a brilliant future?" The query was too deep for us, and taking a last look at the barren plain where the great city has probably been built ere this time, we started on our way, convinced that if the soil would produce any such crops as the people could prospect, the time will come when everyone will go to Colton. THE WALNUT CROP. Thereports which have been published concerning the immense walnut crop of the Los Nietos valley are not sustained by facts. Orchards which it was claimed would yield from three hundred to five hundred sacks, fall off from twenty-five, to fifty per cent., or even more. The trees never were so full as this year, but the hot winds of September were damaging, literally baking a large share of the nuts, which of course are worthless and have to be thrown out; and though the greatest care is taken in sorting them, one finds a large number of "blanks" among those being sacked to ship. The quality is not near to the average, as is shown in the light weights which rule this year; and they are darker than usual. Corn is good, but not nearly so heavy a yield as in Gospel Swamp and some other sections of our county. AT RANCHITA, Five or six miles up the river from Downey, is some of the finest corn and best land to be found anywhere. About EL MONTE WASHINGTON Everybody is told changes in the peppers it is seldom that they are left out at once never was a time he be made with less good. Nearly had present House fault unfortunate ones between the two Hewitt to-day and almost pained he has not departed members none will than Hewitt. His pepsia, nervousness renders him very yet with all that he oughtly honest, ex fulness is the grest which he is held parties. But he not regard John Hewitt that error of judging man to representinating convention. Another of these Milton Sayler, who would very likely as speaker. A co-favored his selection "good fellows" in body likes, and withal, yet he is not fact a worker. He wine, with ease and too that he is not draw.

Considering the past record of the so-called "fairs" at Los Angeles, no one can wonder at the apparent lack of interest shown by all the counties in the district. But we are sure that another year will witness fine exhibits from all parts of the district, causing even those who think they know the resources of Southern California to gaze with astonishment on the varied productions. That this last Fair did not better represent what can be grown in our county is the fault of the different localities themselves. The only local exhibits deserving any notice as such, were made by Riverside, Pasadena and Florence—and they were really fine. But Santa Ana, Gospel Swamp, Garden Grove, Orange, Anaheim, Artesia, El Monte and Westminster offered only pitiful apologies for displays, while Downey, Wilmington, Orangethorpe, Centralia and many other localities we might name did not show the first thing. No one knowing anything of these places can question but any of them could make a display exceeding all that were made, and create a lively competition for the prizes offered. Next year we believe this will be done. If the managers of the society would set the date of the Fall Fair a few weeks earlier so that the peaches, pears, grapes and other fruits could be exhibited from localities where by the last of October none are left, it would add largely to the general display. And if another exhibition could be held in the Spring, for semi-tropical fruits, it would enable producers of those fruits to make a display such as never has been made, and one worth taking a long journey to see. RIVERSIDE. Since the Fair we have visited many of the different towns and settlements in the southern counties. At Riverside the beauty of the place and its excellent class of buildings impressed us favorably. It is not too much to say that the buildings there, as a class, excel those of any settlement of the same age on the coast, and not a few of them are really elegant. The orange and other trees are healthy, bright and wholly free from scale, disease or spot of any kind; the same can be said of the fruit, and no one can question but the shipments from this place will be heavy and the fruit command a good price. The raisin business here has apparently come to as near perfection as man has yet brought it. The method in use there is to "sun dry" on trays about three feet square. These wooden trays are placed along between the rows in vineyard, and the grapes when carefully picked and trimmed are laid on them; here they remain until dried on one side, when two men pass along the rows, and place an empty tray over the first one they find that is dried on one side, reverse it and pass on to the next, and so on till all are turned. When dried on both sides the trays are carried to the "sweat box" and the contents carefully slid into it. After sweat damage, literally baking a large share of the nuts, which of course are worthless and have to be thrown out; and though the greatest care is taken in sorting them, one finds a large number of "blanks" among those being sacked to ship. The quality is not near to the average, as is shown in the light weights which rule this year; and they are darker than usual. Corn is good, but not nearly so heavy a yield as in Gospel Swamp and some other sections of our county. AT RANCHITA, Five or six miles up the river from Downey, is some of the finest corn and best land to be found anywhere. About EL MONTE Crops are good. Flax growing and castor beans receive considerable attention, and if the reports of the profit from these crops are one-half of them true, we wonder so few in this part of the State do not engage in one of these industries. PASADENA Was a surprise to us; the rapid and choice improvements made there show to anyone's satisfaction what can be accomplished on good land with seemingly scant water supply, when that supply is carefully used. All about here are young thrifty orange orchards extending almost as far as one can see. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, etc., do very well. Situated as it is on rolling land, an opportunity is offered to locate their neat homes on commanding and striking points, and to surround them with tastily arranged grounds. No one who has been there can fail to have noticed the advantage which has been taken of this opportunity. Passing through the Lake Vineyard tract, with its series of reservoirs supplied by water brought in pipes from the distant mountains, we reached San Gabriel which, with notes taken in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, will form the subject of a future letter. Ventura, Nov. 28. J.T. MOLLIE FANCHER. History of the Brooklyn Phenomenon. ANAHEIM, December 2. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Apropos of the "sensational" article from the N.Y.Sun, in your Saturday's paper, the following may be of interest: About four years since while looking over the photographs on the parlor table of a friend in Brooklyn, I was attracted by one of a young lady with a peculiarly pensive face, eyes nearly closed, and one arm thrown over the pillow above her head, the fingers twisted and shrunken, the other arm with a plump girlish hand lying on the counterplane. Attracted by the picture, I asked who it was, and was answered "Why, that's my friend Mollie Fancher. Do you not recognize her?" Not having heard of her, my friend gave me her history. She was a lass of twelve years, living on "the hill" about two miles from her school which was on "the heights," and used the horse cars in going and coming. On one occasion, as she stepped from the car, her clothing caught on the step, and the car starting, she was dragged some distance before it could be stopped. Her limbs were twisted under her, one arm twisted back over her head, and her leftside paralyzed. She was taken home apparently at the point of death, but lingered along for days, weeks, months, and finally years. I think my friend said nine years. She ate nothing; the only nourishment she had taken, to my friend's knowledge, being a few drops of orange juice at intervals of weeks. She would frequently fall into a deathlike sleep, lasting for many days. Her mind and the few faculties remaining to her seemed to be quickened into unusual strength. She knew every one who as "Marine Band" session of the 44th diana, and some have no music in order to cut the item for one of the appropriate band life at the barren ideality nation and rose hand speech he upon the election upon the balustrade listen to the hear just as the Reporter settled it. He saved the band. Governor Swain of the old stager error has been wanted to come last summer to sixty,and while mooning some of district set the police Governor is very great usefulness while he makes his Record credit doubt if anybody stands up to take except a slight rite and that is the othing thing, as his "heard three feet tertainer," and most elaborate Congressman probably excel grass in the palates of their only one of them he had a tight ringing convention cast somewhat during the time It did look straight as a raid dignity, white riage, one might Kaiser Wilhelm with the rabbit in the palmy York,它 was baked and took to the bondholders. On the other quite as many after March 4th first. He is conjoined his chief promisional parliamentary get on his feet When Blaine such a close f ently come to as near perfection as man has yet brought it. The method in use there is to "sun dry" on trays about three feet square. These wooden trays are placed along between the rows in vineyard, and the grapes when carefully picked and trimmed are laid on them; here they remain until dried on one side, when two men pass along the rows, and place an empty tray over the first one they find that is dried on one side, reverse it and pass on to the next, and so on till all are turned. When dried on both sides the trays are carried to the "sweat box" and the contents carefully slid into it. After sweating the raisins are packed in nice layers in the regular raisin boxes and are ready for market. In quality the Riverside excel any California raisin that has been placed on the San Francisco market, not excepting Blower's product. The cause we take it is, first—the quality of the grape. Nowhere have we ever seen such Muscats. Large, sweet, a very delicate flavor, and the skin so thin that when a cluster is held to the sun they seem transparent. Then the mode of curing—not handling them from the time they are laid on the trays until taken from the sweat box, prevents the breaking of clusters and injuring the handsome bloom of the grape. The boxes, when packed, equal in appearance the choice Malaga, and the flavor is in no degree inferior. Apples, peaches, pears, apricots, and small fruits all do well, and such quantities are grown that canning establishments have been started to use the surplus yield. The water supply is adequate for all purposes and the place is, as it must ever be, a beautiful and thrifty place. SAN BERNARDINO Is nothing compared with its former condition. Building was active, a goodly force of men being engaged in erecting brick stores, etc. on the "burnt district." But business seems in the main inactive; the town appeared dead. It is surrounded by good agricultural lands, where artesian water is readily obtained, some of the wells being very large. At old San Bernardino are some of the finest used in the horse carriage as she stepped from the car, her clothing caught on the step, and the car starting, she was dragged some distance before it could be stopped. Her limbs were twisted under her, one arm twisted back over her head, and her left side paralyzed. She was taken home apparently at the point of death, but lingered along for days, weeks, and months, and finally years. I think my friend said nine years. She ate nothing, the only nourishment she had taken, to my friend's knowledge, being a few drops of orange juice at intervals of weeks. She would frequently fall into a deathlike sleep, lasting for many days. Her mind and the few faculties remaining to her seemed to be quickened into unusual strength. She knew every one who came into her room before they spoke, altho'totally blind, and would frequently have books and letters laid on the bed beside her and read them as readily as though she saw the contents with bodily vision. Being unable to use her left arm she would take embroidery and crochet work in the other hand, book it on to the crippled fingers above her head, and work out intricate and beautiful patterns. In the same way, with the help of a frame placed over her bed, she wrought an afghan of large size, various shades of colors, combining the figures and patterns as perfectly as one who was possessed of every faculty. My friend going to the mantel took down a vase of lilies of the valley, wrought in wax—so delicately that only upon close examination could it be discerned they were not the real flowers. Yet all done by the sightless, crippled sufferer in her lonely hours of rest from the acute pain which frequently racked her system. She was very patient however, but frequently expressed her sorrow that she could not die as others did under such injuries. These are unquestionable facts, and while explicable only prove the old saw, Truth is stranger than fiction. E. A. S. SACRAMENTO, December 2d.—A dispute occurred to-night in front of the bar at one of the hotels on Second street, which at one time threatened a serious difficulty, between Judge Hager and A. A. Cohen, relative to what occurred in the Convention on Tuesday last, when Judge Hager rose to a question of privilege relative to Cohen's connection with the Adams Bank failure. Bystanders interfered before anything but hard words were exchanged, and the two parties retired with their friends. Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 27. Everybody is talking about the unusual changes in the personnel of the next House. It is seldom that so many prominent members are left out at one time, yet perhaps there never was a time when a clean sweep could be made with less detriment to the public good. Nearly half the members of the present House failed to be returned, and the unfortunate ones are about evenly divided between the two parties. I met Abram S. Hewitt to-day and observe that the troubled—almost pained expression of his countenance has not departed. Of all the unreturned members none will be more generally missed than Hewitt. He suffers greatly from dyspepsia, nervousness, and loss of sleep which renders him very excitable and irritable; yet with all that he is a worker and a thoroughly honest, experienced man whose usefulness is the greater from the esteem in which he is held by his associates of both parties. But he remarked once that he did not regard John Kelly a statesman, and for that error of judgment Kelly named another man to represent the district when the nominating convention assembled this year. Another of the prominent unfortunates is Milton Sayler, who, had he been re-elected, would very likely have succeeded Randall as speaker. A combination of circumstances favored his selection. Sayler is one of the "good fellows" in public life, whom everybody likes, and a man of considerable ability withal, yet he is not essentially a leader, nor in fact a worker. He likes good company, good wine, with ease and comfort. The boys say too that he is not averse to a little game of draw. In habit and disposition Sayler somewhat resembles Carter Harrison, another Western member who failed to connect. The Chicago papers facetiously talk about "Our Carter," but here in Washington he is known as "Marine Band Harrison." At the first session of the 44th Congress Holman of Indiana, and some of the other economists who have no music in their souls, undertook to cut the item for the support of this band out of the appropriation bills. Without that band life at the capital would be reduced to a barren ideality. Harrison took in the situation and rose to the occasion. In an off-hand speech he detailed how he proposed upon the election of Tilden, to cock his feet upon the balustrades of the White House, and listen to the heavenly music of that band just as the Republicans had done. That Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, Dec. 2. Consideration of petition for change of Centralia and Orangethorpe school districts postponed until January 7, 1879. On motion of Supervisor Morton petition to open a road through the Niguel ranch rejected, for the reason that said road is not a public necessity, and further that C. B. Rawson having agreed with committee that Mr. Thurston should at all times have free egress and ingress to and from his place, over the Niguel ranch by the route now traveled. On motion of Supervisor Morton, the petition for Silverado road district, referred to Supervisor Ott. TUESDAY, December 3. Contract to furnish squirrel poison awarded to Hellman, Haas & Co. On motion of Supervisor Morton, a span of horses were bought from Rees & Wirshing for $300 for use at the Poor Farm. On motion of Supervisor Morton, J. H. Martin was appointed Justice of the Peace of El Monte township, vice D. W. McDonald, who has left the State. Petition of Eldred & Wilson for refunding taxes doubly assessed, referred to District Attorney. Petition for road in Gospel Swamp set for hearing Jan. 8, 1879. Petition to change boundaries of Cajon school district granted. WEDNESDAY, Dec. 4. Resignation of P. W. Straw, Justice of the Peace for Santa Ana township, accepted. J. C. Rushing appointed to fill vacancy. Matter of change of boundaries of La Dow and Ballona school districts. On motion of Supervisor Prager referred to Supt. McDonald to consult with the Trustees of the two districts. Matter of creating Westminster township referred to Supervisor Ott. Matter of petition for road in Los Nietos district near Blaswell's referred to Supervisor Morton. On motion of Supervisor Ott, J. C. Miller is allowed until January 15th to complete work on the barn at Hospital. Matter of Anaheim and Silverado road—testimony of Philip Davis, F. W. Athearn and W. R. Olden taken as to necessity for such road. On motion of Supervisor Prager the matter was postponed until next meeting, provided the road shall not be obstructed. On motion of Supervisor Morton, Board of Supervisors determined to proceed to view said road when notified by Mr. Irvine of his ability to give them an answer and that as "Marine Band Harrison." At the first session of the 44th Congress Holman of Indiana, and some of the other economists who have no music in their souls, undertook to cut the item for the support of this band out of the appropriation bills. Without that band life at the capital would be reduced to a barren ideality. Harrison took in the situation and rose to the occasion. In an off-hand speech he detailed how he proposed upon the election of Tilden, to cock his feet upon the balustrades of the White House, and listen to the heavenly music of that band just as the Republicans had done. That settled it. He had created a laugh and saved the band. Governor Swaney of Maryland, is another of the old stagers who got left. The Governor has been in Congress five terms and wanted to come again; but he got married last summer to a rich old girl, a widow of sixty, and while off courting and honeymooning some of the younger bloods in his district set the pins up against him. The Governor is very rich and most too old to be of great usefulness in Congress. Once in a while he makes a little speech, or at least the Record credits him with doing so, but I doubt if anybody has heard him. When he stands up to talk he is perfectly motionless except a slight movement of the lower jaw, and that is the only sign that he is saying anything, as his "still small voice" cannot be heard three feet away. He is a liberal entertainer, and next to Fernando Wood gives the most elaborate dinner parties of any Congressman. These two and Mr. Hewitt probably excel any three men ever in Congress in the glorious art of tickling the palates of their friends. "Fernandy" is the only one of the three who comes back, and he had a tight squeeze both in the nominating convention and at the polls. He lost caste somewhat with the party by his course during the times of the Electoral Count. It did look strange to see this old Bourbon Democrat hob-nobbing with Eugene Hale, and other radicals and taking the leadership of the Republicans against those of his own party who were determined to defeat the count by filibustering. Hostility to Tilden has been assigned as one of the propelling causes. There is not a greater aristocrat in manner, bearing, and general appearance, than this same Fernando Wood. He is as straight as a ramrod, while from his dress, dignity, white mustache, and soldierly carriage, one might readily mistake him for Kaiser Wilhelm. If he was ever popular with the rabble, as must have been the case in the palmy days of his career in New York, it was before he married a rich wife, and took to the exclusive way of bloated bondholders. On the other side of the house there are quite as many notables to sink from view after March 4th. Eugene Hale is among the first. He is considered a man of fair ability, but his chief prominence as a leader comes from parliamentary knowledge, and a tendency to get on his feet oftener than any body else. When Blaine was in the House, Hale was such a close follower of his that Cox one day Morton. On motion of Supervisor Ott, J. C. Miller is allowed until January 15th to complete work on the barn at Hospital. Matter of Anaheim and Silverado road—testimony of Philip Davis, F. W. Athearn and W. R. Olden taken as to necessity for such road. On motion of Supervisor Prager the matter was postponed until next meeting, provided the road shall not be obstructed. On motion of Supervisor Morton, Board of Supervisors determined to proceed to view said road when notified by Mr. Irvine of his ability to give them an answer, and that notice be given in the Anaheim Gazette of time of meeting.

That society has evidence that Pizzola has purchased hundreds of cats fromurchins,and that immediately upon receiving them he cut off their tails and then put the A most unfortunate accident occurred on the railroad between Sheridan and Wheatland on Thanksgiving evening. John Dusel procured a license in this city to marry Miss Tilly O'Brien of Sheridan. Mr. Dusel went to Sheridan to consummate his marriage but it was discovered that a license issued in Yuba county would not answer in Placer, and they resolved to return to Wheatland that evening. A hand-car was procured and the parties started on their return. Unfortunately, another party started from Wheatland about the same time to go to Sheridan on another hand-car to attend the wedding. Neither car carried a light, and somewhere between the two places the cars came together, and the intended bride received injuries to her legs while sitting on the edge of the car which rendered the amputation of both limbs necessary.
