Newbill was shot in the neck by William Near, a negro, in Los Angeles on last Thursday. The negro accused Newbill of insulting his wife.

Water your vineyards when the vines are in bloom, mind that. The opposite doctrine is preached quite loudly, but our most successful growers find the exact opposite to be true.

The interior of Sin Si Wau's establishment was a perfect pandemonium, it being filled with Chinamen lighting and yelling with most desperate energy. Deputy Sheriff Barham and Constables Wartenberg and Bohn arrested six of the belligerents and conveyed them to jail. As soon as they were left alone three of them commenced to beat a liliputian celestial, and before he could be rescued he had received a severe drubbing. The fight in Sin Si Wau's had been carried on with pick handles, pistols, etc., and it is a wonder that no serious injuries were the result. One Chinaman was shot in the breast, but the ball made merely a flesh wound. On Monday Justice Bailey fined Ah Lung $10 for carrying a concealed weapon, and yesterday in the same court Ah Jim and Ling Sing were examined on a charge of assault with deadly weapons. The three Chinamen who beat their fellow countryman in jail will have an examination before Justice Athearn on Thursday. The charge against them is assault with intent to commit murder. We heard a good story yesterday about a former butcher of Anaheim. Some years ago he caused it to be noised abroad that he was fattening a big steer for Christmas, but as his reputation for veracity was second only to that of Ananias, he verified his statement by parading through the streets with the steer. It was indeed, of goodly pro- A SHELTERED LOCALITY. Anaheim the best place in Southern California for orange growing. The majority of people who come to Los Angeles county to settle, do so with the expectation of planting an orchard of semi-tropical trees. Besides the enormous profit of an orange orchard, there is a fascination about the business which is irresistible; and to own and cultivate a plantation of orange trees is the summit of the ambition of immigrants from the Eastern States. Recent climatic events, however, show that even in this county it is the part of wisdom to select the locality for an orchard with care and foresight. It has never been denied that a considerable area of the county was unfit for the growth of semi-tropical trees, but the frosts of last week show that great injury is liable to be done any season, even in places heretofore considered the most fit for orchards. The freeze of last week is the most satisfactory proof of the superiority of Anaheim and vicinity over every other part of the county, and, in fact, Southern California, for the growth of orange, lemon and lime trees. Gentlemen who have traversed the county in the past few days say that this is the only part of the county in which great damage has not resulted from frost. Anaheim is so favorably situated that it is impossible that orange orchards should ever suffer from the visitation of frost. As we stated last week, the range of low hills north of town effectually shields us from the biting night winds, with all the evils which A Christmas Carol. I care not for Spring; on his sickle wing Let the blossoms and blooms be borne; He woos them amain with his treacherous rain, And he scatterers them ere the morn. An inconsistent eff, he knows not himself, Nor his own changing mind an hour, He'll smile in your face, and with wry grimace, He'll witter your youngest flower. Let the Summer sun to his bright home run, He shall never be sought by me; When he's dimmed by a cloud I can laugh aloud, And care not how sulky he be! For his darling child is the madness wild That sports in fierce fever's train; And when love is too strong, it don't last long, As many have found to their pain. A mild harvest night, by the tranquil light Of the modest and gentle m on, Has a far swester sheen, for me, I wean, But every leaf awakens my grief, As it lieth beneath the tree; So let autumn air be never so fair, It by no means agrees with me. But my song I troll out, for Christmas stout, The hearty, the true, and the boid; A bumper I drain, and with might and main Give three cheers for this Christmas old! We'll usher him in with a merry din That shall gladden his joyous heart, And we'll keep him up while there's bite or sup, And in fellowship good, we'll part. In his fine honest pride, he seems to hide. One jot of his hard weather scarfs; They're no disgrace, for there's much the same trace On the cheeks of our bravest tars.

WASHINGTON Dec. 21.—The adjournment of Congress for the holidays without attempting any finance legislation removes any last lingering fear of any new danger to the financial situation. Before Congress reconvenes resumption will be legally accomplished, and all the new bank regulations and systems provided in this connection will be in full experimental operation; but it must not be assumed that because the paper inflationists were examined on a charge of assault with deadly weapons. The three Chinamen who beat their fellow countryman in jail will have an examination before Justice Athearn on Thursday. The charge against them is assault with intent to commit murder. We heard a good story yesterday about a former butcher of Anaheim. Some years ago he caused it to be noised abroad that he was fattening a big steer for Christmas, but as his reputation for veracity was second only to that of Ananias, he verified his statement by parading through the streets with the steer. It was, indeed, of goodly proportions, and the expectations of those who appreciate a good roast were roused to the highest pitch. But a day or two before Christmas the Cohnfounded butcher shipped his fat steer to Los Angeles and sold it there, and when his patrons went to his shop on Christmas morning they were forced to take the usual leathery meat for which the establishment was noted. It would be interesting to pass the next few evenings in visiting married folks and note the number of husbands wearing gorgeously patterned dressing gowns, elaborately worked slippers, or highly ornamented smoking caps with tassels that persist in getting between the eyes at every motion of the head. For it is thus that the wife of his bosom testifies her affection. An affray occurred in Fountain Valley Township on last Friday in which E.W. Domeny was shot and killed by Uriah Humphrey. The latter was arrested and his examination has been going on for the past two days. We will have full particulars in Saturday's paper. Mr.V.Montgomery, of Scott & Montgomery, is prosecuting the case. The meat market of Messrs. Look & Co was tastefully decorated yesterday, and the great large beeves were good to look upon. Mary's Little Lamb was there, too, and a very nice, fat lamb it was. Let the house-wife get up bright and early this morning and secure a roast worthy of the day. Owing to the non-arrival of Mr.J.W.Shanklin, the meeting of the Cajon Irrigating Company, which was to have been held on last Saturday, was adjourned for one week. A telegram has been sent to Mr.Shanklin asking him to send proxies, if he can not be present in person. The ball to be given on New Year's Eve by the Anaheim Brass Band should be attended by our citizens en masse. The members are individually, gentlemen; and, collectively, they have always been willing to aid in any local celebration without asking recompense. So give them a bumper. A Cajon Simoon. Day before yesterday afternoon the outgoing Yuma train left Los Angeles on time. Everything went off as usual until it approached Cucamonga Station. At this point the term of extraordinary violence was factory proof of the superiority of Anaheim and vicinity over every other part of the county, and, in fact, Southern California, for the growth of orange, lemon and lime trees. Gentlemen who have traversed the county in the past few days say that this is the only part of the county in which great damage has not resulted from frost. Anaheim is so favorably situated that it is impossible that orange orchards should ever suffer from the visitation of frost. As we stated last week, the range of low hills north of town effectually shields us from the biting night winds, with all the evils which follow in their train. There is in this vicinity some of the finest fruit land in the world—land which would long ago have been settled upon had our irrigating system been such as to ensure an abundance of water. Now that the water question has been settled, theres can be no doubt that all this land will find purchasers as soon as immigration to Southern California sets in. And, to use the vernacular of the sporting fraternity, one of our trump cards is this exemption from killing frost. It is a claim which cannot be disputed, and which no other section of the county can boast of. The fact is of such importance that great stress can be properly laid upon it; and it is a feature which any one who desires to embark in the business of growing semitropical fruit cannot afford to ignore. Literary Union. This earnest claimant to public patronage seems to make good its pretensions, and deserves well of all classes. Last meeting was a decided success. There was a good attendance, and the exercises seemed to be greatly enjoyed. After music, the Leader was read by E.Halliday and Miss De Grange; and the articles, which were of various merits, and on a wide diversity of subjects, elicited great applause. After, a declamation, and the reading of the constitution and by-laws, quite a number signed the same, and were enrolled as members. If suitably fostered this society will unquestionably become a power for good in the town, and help it to gain a literary distinction. The roaming tendency of the Scotch people is well known, and has been the peg on which many a witty saying has been hung. In his reply to the address made by the St.Andrew's Society at Montreal, Governor General Lorne made some very good points on the ubiquity of the canny Scot. Below will be found the address in full, taken from a Canadian paper: I accept your address, which tells us so much loyal feeling, with gratitude as Her Majesty's representative, and I ask you to accept my thanks which are also due to you for the manner in which you have given the Princess and myself a personal welcome. To me I need hardly say it is a great pleasure to find myself to-night among so many of my own countrymen who hail from Scotland, and in saying this I am certain I shall have with me the sympathy of all Canadians of whatever race, English, French or Irish, for all these nationalities wish you well. As for the English, it is impossible for them to feel but good will, for they have as a WASHINGTON Dec. 21.-The adjournment of Congress for the holidays without attempting any finance legislation removes any last lingering fear of any new danger to the financial situation. Before Congress reconvenes resumption will be legally accomplished, and all the new bank regulations and systems provided in this connection will be in full experimental operation; but it must not be assumed that because the paper inflationists and extreme silver men abandoned their efforts, which were futile for obstructive legislation, they have adopted new views. The Democrats among them reason that if resumption, under the present conditions, proved a success, the financial issues will become extinct. If it fails, or works roughly, they will shape party action accordingly. Meantime, they decline to take strong hard money ground lest it should offend the Greenbackers unnecessarily. Their situation is now one of armed observation only. Bayard and the Democratic leaders of his class anticipate the success of resumption and look for an entirely new basis for party division. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The jury in the case of James E. Whalen vs. Gen. Sheridan, on trial in the United States Circuit Court for the last three weeks, found a verdict for defendant this evening. The suit was for the recovery of over $400,000 for the seizure of the Kilona plantation, in St.Charles parish,Louisiana, in August, 1867,and the ejection of Whalen by the military order of Gen.Sheridan,who was then Military Governor of Louisiana. LONDON, Dec. 17.-A correspondent at Copenhagen, describing the wedding of Princess Thyra,says she crowds were particularly enthusiastic in their manifestations of loyalty and joy,they intended as a demonstration against recent sinister rumors that letters had been received threatening the King of Denmark with assassination,and that a box of Orsini bombs had been seized at Hamburg.The garrison of Copenhagen were confined to their barracks. LOS ANGELES, December 20.-A most remarkable discovery has been recently made in the Sierra Madre mountains,about fifty miles northeast of this city. It appears to be a snow-white,resinious substance,softer and lighter than chalk,and burns with great brilliancy until utterly consumed, leaving no ashes.The discoverer states that there is a whole mountain of this strange substance,and fears some wretch may set it on fire,and burn up the range.Specimens were shown here-to-day,and excited great interest. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The Sun's Scranton correspondent says: These are gloomy days in the cabins of Pennsylvania coal miners.The wolf crouches at every door,and if the combinations of the companies outlasts this month,the miners can see nothing before The ball to be given on New Year's Eve by the Anaheim Brass Band should be attended by our citizens en masse.

Day before yesterday afternoon the outgoing Yuma train left Los Angeles on time. Everything went off as usual until it approached Cucamonga Station. At this point a sand storm of extraordinary violence was encountered. The train was soon obliged to stop. Superintendent Hewitt was at once communicated with by telegraph and men were dispatched from all quarters to clear the track, but utterly without avail. The train was delayed some fifteen hours. When we state that the rails for a distance of three or four miles were covered with sand to depths ranging from one to three feet, the force of the wind may be conjectured. The simoon, or sirocco, or whatever it may be called, came whistling through the Cajon Pass as though it were discharged from a funnel. The incoming Yuma train was delayed for an hour and a half through the storm. Some seven years ago a whirlwind poured out of the Cajon Pass which took substantially the same course as the wind day before yesterday. The line of plain traversed by it was about three miles wide, but it fortunately stopped right at the edge of the celebrated Cucamonga vineyard. For much of this width the soil was shaved off as with a knife, being carried resistlessly over the Cucamonga plains. Sand was piled to the height of several feet over the roof of the station of the old stage company, making a total sand drift of over twenty feet high. The storm of the other day must have been a twin brother of that.—Herald, Dec. 21. There will be an auction sale on Saturday, the 28th inst., at the residence of C. C. Angle, 1 mile North of Anaheim. The property to be sold consists of 2 work horses, harness, wagon, one set well tools, sewing machine, cooking stove and a lot of miscellaneous household furniture and farming implements, I accept your address, which tells us so much loyal feeling, with gratitude as Her Majesty's representative, and I ask you to accept my thanks which are also due to you for the manner in which you have given the Princess and myself a personal welcome. To me I need hardly say it is a great pleasure to find myself to-night among so many of my own countrymen who hail from Scotland, and in saying this I am certain I shall have with me the sympathy of all Canadians of whatever race, English, French or Irish, for all these nationalities wish you well. As for the English, it is impossible for them to feel anything but good will, for they have as a people been so grateful for the last two centuries to Scotsmen for giving them a king that they have ever since been only too happy to see Scotsmen getting their way everywhere. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The French population shares in the goodwill felt toward you, for they remember in the old days it was a Scot's regiment—the King's Body Guard—which was the most popular corps at Paris, and that the French troops who guarded Edinburgh were there as the allies of Scotland. It is impossible for Irishmen to feel anything but the most cordial feeling of love for you, for what is Scotland but an Irish colony? (Hear and laughter.) But it is a colony of which Ireland, as a mother country, may well be proud. Gentlemen, as one bearing the name of one of whose vessels we came here is a distinguished Scotsman, well known to all in this hall. I am happy to say that the captain of our steamer was a Scotsman the Chief Engineer was a Scotsman, and, best of all, the stewardess was a Scotswoman. (Loud Laughter). Well, as soon as we landed we were met by a Scotch Commander-in-Chair and by a Scotch Prime Minister, who is also a Scotsman. What wonder is it that Canada thrives when the only change in her future is that she falls from the hands of one Scotsman into that of another. (Laughter). Our countrymen are fond of metaphysical discussion, and are apt to seek for subtle reasons for the cause of things. Here it is unnecessary for them to do more in enquiring the reasons of the prosperity of the country than to look around them, and to note the number of their countrymen, and the existence of such Societies, with such chiefs, as the St. Andrew's Society of Montreal. But it is time to put an end to such light discourse, and to proceed to the graver terpsichorean duties of the evening. New York, Dec. 21.—The Sun's Scranton correspondent says: These are gloomy days in the cabins of Pennsylvania coal miners. The wolf crouches at every door, and if the combinations of the companies outlasts this month, the miners can see nothing before them but starvation. These words furnish Christmas-tide reading for the country whose barns and grain elevators are bursting with the greatest harvest ever seen, even in this teeming new world. Newcastle, Del. Dec. 21.—Geo. Draper, (colored), convicted of murder in the second degree was placed in a pillory in a blinding snow storm to-day and afterwards received sixty lashes. He now goes to prison for life. San Francisco, Dec. 19.—A private telegram received in this city from Senator John J. Patterson, of South Carolina, states that he expects to leave Washington on the 22nd instant, accompanied by James G. Blaine, for a flying trip to California during the holidays. Cohoes, N. Y., Dec. 19.—Patrick Rourke and family of five children, residing at the corner of Elm and Bowery streets, were all burned to death by a fire in their home last night. London, Dec. 20.—An unprecedented storm has prostrated a large number of houses, and it is feared that a number of lives are lost. H. H. Wildy, a former District Attorney of San Diego county, died in San Diego on the 19th inst., of consumption. Raspberries grown and ripened in the open air were culled at Portland, Oregon last week. James Johnson, one of the O'Shea robber at Portland, Oregon, was sentenced to hanged on the 7th of February. GAZETTE. NO. 11 Carol. TUSCAN WINE MAKERS. Hew the Thrifty Vintagers Live and Work—How their Work is done. No lighter-hearted people, in spite of the constant self-denials of thrifty poverty, can be found than the Tuscans of good peasant blood. They trace their lineage with the same precision as do their employers, and through the same number of centuries, and hold themselves from mixture with the ruder villagers. The conscription, more than poverty, might have broken down these happy spirits, and has indeed done much to overcloud those Italian homes which hold the domestic affections more dear than peasant families do elsewhere; duty and discipline among members of a family, or, more properly, of a clan, being carried in Tuscany to curious lengths. Obedience from the young is rewarded by the old with this constant care—the provision of portions of their sons and daughters; that is the motive of labor, thrift, sacrifice. The peasant rises with the earliest light in summer, for the processes of the many varying harvests of the year, from the hay to the olive, require vigilant attention. He breaks his fast with bread, rather dark in color, but fine and of excellent quality, and with mezzo-vino, which is a thin and rather acrid beverage, made by pouring water over the grapes after pressing; at midday he again takes bread and mezzo-vino, and after sunset comes his frugal dinner of maigre soup and white beans flavored with the aromatic herbs that grow high upon the hills; oil and undiluted wine are reserved for church festivals, meat for rare occasions. With this, short sleep, and that hearty unsparing labor into which honest self-interest Mr. Stevenson's Conscience. Robert Stevenson, a gray-bearded, well-dressed and intelligent looking juror, arose yesterday morning in the Marine Court, and requested Judge Alker's decision upon a petition that he handed up on Monday, at the opening of the term. The text of the petition is as follows: Mr. Robert Stevenson, 137th street, between Third and Fourth avenues, house 225 last 137th street, New York city, requests to be excused as a juror in the Marine Court of the city of New York, on the ground that he is a member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, the testimony of which church maintains that it is wrong for its members to incorporate with the Government of the United States under the present Constitution, inasmuch as it does not acknowledge God as the author of national existence and the source of all power and authority in civil government, and Jesus Christ as the Ruler of Nations, and the Bible as the foundation of law, and the supreme rule for the conduct of nations; and on the ground that jurors are executive officers created by the Constitution, and drawing from it all their power. They sit upon the bench of justice as the ultimate tribunal from whose verdict there is, in many instances, no appeal. They incorporate with the national society, and in finding a verdict represent the Government. They serve under the direction of constituted courts, and are the constitutional judges of what is laid before them. In criminal cases the Constitution itself is the supreme law which they are bound on oath to apply, and in civil cases the court determines the law by which the jury is to be directed. ROBERT STEVENSON, Petitioner.

With this, short sleep, and that hearty unsparing labor into which honest self-interest enters, the peasant knows that he has half of the benefits from every effort of work and of self-denial which he makes; his employer has the other half, and the bond between the two is closed. Except the silk-worm harvest, which necessitates night work, the vintage is the season of sharpest and most constant labor; but it is also a long festival, less gay, at least in these hard times, than among the happy and prosperous hills of France, where each day is finished with music and dances, but yet full of delight. In almost every case the land-owner spends the whole time of the gathering, pressing and barreling among his people. There is enough remaining in Tuscany of the discredited spirit of the fatherhood in the relation of a landlord to his peasants to make the work in common sweet to the loyal Italian heart. There is all the difference, as Louis Blanc insists, between "go to work" and "come to work." Largesse is given freely; the laborers are allowed to eat grapes from morning till night, which they do by holding up the amber-golden bunches and crunching them as an ox would, but for their basket muzzles. As each podere, or holding, is cleared, the poor from the villages come to glean the vines; later, a lay brother from the Franciscan convent on the hill-top, or a couple of lay sisters, whose huge straw hats quaintly surmount the religious garb, bring ound capacious baskets for alms; the most parsimonious cannot find it in their hearts to refuse charity in times of abundance, although that abundance is pitilessly taxed according to its fullness. On vintage days, too, the padrone gives a luncheon to all his tenants, and vegetarians, who point triumphantly to the Tuscan laborer's health and muscular strength, will learn with chagrin that the prospect of that flesh-pot at mid-day raises his spirits during all the morning hours of labor. That he would be better for better food as a habit, we should be slow to pronounce. Life is long and healthy among these vineyards, children abound, and the standard of beauty is higher than elsewhere in Italy; great is the contrast in the latter particular between the peasants who live scarcely a mile from the walls of Florence, and the Florentines themselves, who are, as a rule, ugly and ignoble. Short stature, owing to shortness of limb, is the rule among both the handsome and the homely. Now and then one meets with a face in which human loveliness seems to have reached its extreme.

Life is long and healthy among these vineyards, children abound, and the standard of beauty is higher than elsewhere in Italy; great is the contrast in the latter particular between the peasants who live scarcely a mile from the walls of Florence, and the Florentines themselves, who are, as a rule, ugly and ignoble. Short stature, owing to shortness of limb, is the rule among both the handsome and the homely. Now and then one one meets with a face in which human loveliness seems to have reached its extreme. We have specially in our mind an exquisite girl of some twelve or thirteen years old, of the finest peasant blood and the most refined type of dark beauty. In the intervals of school, the little large-eyed maiden was generally to be found thriftily plaiting straw, sitting in the cortille of her ancestral home, golden ears of maize hanging above her dusky head, behind her the gray olives and the long blue mountains beyond the Arno—a line of hills as rythmic as a line of Milton. Wine-making in Tuscany, as in Italy at large, stands in need of the aid of science and of capital; so it is with agriculture generally. The plow of Virgil's day is the plow of ours, and in no instance has knowledge advanced to the point of manufacturing wine which will travel in its pure state. Without doubt, the best wine made in Italy is the Aleatico secco, a dry red wine which has none of the roughness of Montepulciano and other more celebrated kinds; but this, perfect as it is, can never be tasted out of Tuscany. The vines continue to be grown on mulberry trees, whereas an incalculable improvement in the grape would be effected by the French mode of culture: the processes of manufacture are unchanged from generation to generation, and a source of untold wealth lies unused in the vineyards of the most industrious people. When will capital and science come to their aid? There is no hope of such assistance. Florence is on the eve of bankruptcy, the nobles are selling their family houses within the city, and living straitly on their lands and the labor of their peasants; the silkworm disease is of almost annual occurrence, but science will not assist such complete poverty. In two industries only—the manufacture of oil and vinegar—there is absolutely no improvement to be desired; and to these, the unrivalled produce of the Tuscan soil, the markets of the world are not open, for the strange reason that the public taste is not educated, in England or France or elsewhere; "best Luca oil," made of superior hemp-seed near Leghorn, and vinegar concocted of corroding acids in London, satisfy at least the English palate. London Spectator. We have been carrying on the Louisville Journal thirty-seven years, and during all this time we have known no man of business in the city to fail who advertised liberally. And we have known no one to succeed in any considerable if even in a respectable degree who didn't advertise liberally.—Prentice. We have upon the contrary, known men to fail who advertised largely; but there is no doubt whatever that judicious advertising is of great advantage to most descriptions of business. In this city, time and again, we have seen firms rise and grasp a large and profitable business by advertising. The mistake is frequently made, however, from the belief that it is only necessary to advertise liberally in order to sell inferior goods at exorbitant prices. The man who expects to profit from advertising must do an honest business. He must sell a good article, and at reasonable prices. The object should be to call customers to see what he has, and then to treat the purchaser in such a way that he will return again. Profitable trade does not consist in making large profits on a single trade, but in holding old customers and gaining new ones. Speaking of church lotteries, Brother Moody says: "They have got so far now that for 25 cents you can come in and kiss the hand-somest woman in the room."

Merchant of Vacaville, aged 18 months, while playing around the room Thursday morning, December 12th, fell backward into a tub of hot water, scalding himself so badly that he died about 6 o'clock in the evening. A manufactory of paper bricks has been opened somewhere in Wisconsin. The bricks are said to be exceedingly durable and moisture proof. They are also larger than the clay article. Paper is now also used for making barrels. Straw pulp is run into a mould made in the shape of a half barrel, cut vertically. The ends are paper but are protected by wood. The barrels are lighter and two-thirds cheaper than those of wool, and flour will not sift out of them while in transit. The staves are three-eights of an inch thick.
