WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... JANUARY 18, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette as the plains designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER..... ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE..... CON HOWE SANTA ANA..... DR. J. N. BURNETT ORANGE..... N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN..... C. TUSTIN BAS JUAN CAPISTRANO..... R. EOAN NORWALK..... J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO..... J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT..... A. T. FERDON COLD FACTS. There are not a few thin blooded people whose susceptibility to cold emboldens them to dispute the accuracy of the thermometer, and to declare their disbelief in the figures as recorded by that instrument. So unaccustomed have they become to such weather as has afflicted the southern portion of the State lately that, gauging the temperature by their own sense of personal discomfort, they insist upon it that there is a thermometrical conspiracy to keep the "figgers" up, and that the temperature is actually several degrees lower than is shown by the face of the inoffensive instrument alluded to. But there is not wanting other "cold facts" which substantiate the correctness of the thermometer. Visitors to the post office can not fail to have noticed a beautiful white camelia in a glass standing on one of the countertops. This camelia, as the paper attached to the glass informs the reader, was raised in Anaheim out of doors. To all who are familiar with the delicate nature of this most beautiful flower, no further proof is needed of the mildness of the climate here. And least it be thought that this flower bloomed under especially favorable conditions, the writer will add that there is a similar flower in bloom in his garden at the present time, which has received no protection whatever. The fallacy of ganging the temperature by one's sensitiveness to cold may be further shown by pointing to the fact that tomato vines (the most susceptible to cold of any vegetable plant) have been untouched. Mr. E. S. Saxton has a large vine, two years old, entirely unprotected, upon which green and A COLONY COMING. A telegram in the associated press papers states that a colony is forming in Buffalo, New York, to come to California and engage in fruit raising. It will be remembered that in the early part of last year the Gazette had advice that each colony was being formed, and that they intended to settle somewhere between Anaheim and Los Angeles, and it may be that the colony referred to in the telegram is the same. The only tract of land between here and the county seat, at all suitable for a colony, is within five miles of Anaheim, and our people ought to work with all the energy and means at their command to induce the New Yorkers to settle upon it. The Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, who own the tract, would doubtless find it profitable to send an agent to Buffalo, with authority to negotiate with the colony managers for the sale of the land. If a company of thrifty New York farmers were to settle upon the tract alluded to, it would immediately enhance the value of the Land Company's property for miles around; and to attain such a desirable consummation they should spare neither trouble nor expense. If the colony alluded to in the telegram is the same as that of which we were advised last spring, they are in possession of much valuable information concerning Anaheim and its environs. The editor of the Gazette at that time sent forward to the colony managers such printed information as he could command, and Mr. W. R. Olden also maintained a correspondence on the subject for some time. It is reasonably possible that our combined efforts failed to make some impression on the colonists, and we are in hope that they have determined to come and abide with us. No better season of the year could be chosen in which to "spy out the land." They will find the hills and valleys with verdure clad, and nature looking at her best. They will also see that, in order to successfully raise semi-tropical fruit, they must choose a locality exempt from the black frost which spares nothing it touches. The area exempt from frost visitation is now as plainly to be seen as if it was enclosed with a fence, and if they are wise and prudent they will heed the mute warning of the yellow curled leaves of the noble orange tree, and select a spot where there is a reasonable certainty of im- ful flower, no further proof is needed of the mildness of the climate here. And lest it be thought that this flower bloomed under especially favorable conditions, the writer will add that there is a similar flower in bloom in his garden at the present time, which has received no protection whatever. The fallacy of gauging the temperature by one's sensitiveness to cold may be further shown by pointing to the fact that tomato vines (the most susceptible to cold of any vegetable plant) have been untouched. Mr. E. S. Saxton has a large vine, two years old, entirely unprotected, upon which green and ripe tomatoes are now hanging in profusion. We have seen the same thing in other places in the town and vicinity. If we thought it necessary to further corroborate our previously-made assertions regarding the mild climatic features of Anaheim, we could give many other instances similar to the above. But we think we have very clearly demonstrated in the past two weeks that Anaheim's exemption from the bitter cold winds and destructive frost which periodically visit other parts of the country make it beyond cavil the best place in which to plant groves of semi-tropical fruit. Geo. Alfred Townsend, the well-known correspondent, who probably interviews a greater number of prominent people throughout the country than any man living, has arrived home from a recent tour of the Northern and Western States, and expresses the opinion that Grant will be nominated with a whirl for the Presidency, with a Southern man for the second place, and the Democratic ticket will be Thurman and Bayard. The New York Tribune's Washington correspondent sums up the hesitancy of the Democrats to take up the cipher dispatches in the remark of a sporting Democrat: "In the language of a game I know something about, but do not play, we hold the 'ace.' If you do not bet we shall 'rake in the pot,' and if you do, we shall 'call your hand.'" The next census will be taken in 1880, and Hon. S. S. Cox is Chairman of the Committee to prepare the bill regulating the manner of taking it. Senator Francis A. Walker is still Superintendent; he very pointedly advocates a more instantaneous census—if one not taken in a day, like the English Continental, at least one taken in a week. An honest census will increase the representation of Texas, leave Louisiana, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri where they are, while Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama will probably go to the rear; the Western, Northwestern and Middle Eastern States will be increased in their representation. The Anaheim Gazette, which has been crowing not a little about the exemption of its locality from frost during the cold spell, is candid enough to print the following: "Somehow or other we can't make the weather of yesterday fit into our climatic editorial. The wind blew directly from the No better season of the year could be chosen in which to 'spy out the land.' They will find the hills and valleys with verdure clad, and nature looking at her best. They will also see that, in order to successfully raise semi-tropical fruit, they must choose a locality exempt from the black frost which spares nothing it touches. The area exempt from frost visitation is now as plainly to be seen as if it was enclosed with a fence, and if they are wise and prudent they will heed the mute warning of the yellow curled leaves of the noble orange tree, and select a spot where there is a reasonable certainty of immunity from such unwelcome visitations. A Fatal Delay. MAUCH CHUNK, Pa., Jan. 14. 10:40 A.M. — The drop has just fallen and it is thought the necks of Sharpe and McDonald have been broken. A telegraph reprieve has just arrived, but is about one minute too late. The reprieve was received in Mauch Chunk by telegraph at 10:37 and the manager of the office rushed to the jail with it. He rang the bell violently about half a minute before the drop fell and started for the door-keeper. Mrs. McDonald and her children were at the door weeping loudly, but the door-keeper did not seem to understand that the dispatch was a reprieve. It was from Governor Hartranft and granted a reprieve until Monday. MAUCH CHUNK, Jan. 14. — When the Governor's reprieve arrived at the jail this morning, a scene of intense excitement occurred, but although the culprits had only been hanging a few moments, there was no movement towards cutting them down. The telegraph messenger reached the door of the jail before the drop fell, but no heed was taken of his knocking and ringing, the wife of one culprit having previously been extremely violent on side. When the drop fell the knocking and ringing continued and the Sheriff sent out a man to arrest the parties whom he imagined to be creating the disturbance. It was then found to be a telegraph messenger with a reprieve. A brother of McDonnell, who had been kneeling by the scaffold, arose and excitedly charged the Sheriff and bystanders with the murder of his brother. The excitement spread and the Sheriff appealed to one of the priests, who exonerated him from blame. Amid this excitement, the reproaches of the maddened brother of McDonnel and the wailings of the bereaved families outside, the bodies seem to have been forgotten and they remained hanging for thirty minutes after the drop fell. There was no reasonable doubt however, but that they were both dead when the reprieve came. After the bodies were cut down they were placed in coffins and given to their famiies, whose cries could be heard for several blocks, adding greatly to the prevailing excitement. NEW YORK, Jan. 15. — The Herald criticises Governor Hartranft's action regarding the Molly Maguire murderers hanged yesterday as follows: There has been no visible vigorous country, added by these all the evils of bad levers, grinding policy of Shea a reason to believe that she have been helping our finance our great industries, will owe them. In short, while thereto future do not promise any feverish speculation per se more apparent than real, thereto season of wholesome, well-growth activity, drawing capital outplaces and giving employment are willing to work. One courageing features of the Lily has been the widespread feebessors of means, that malt government bonds. But silver and greenbacks on enough of all to transact their country, moneyed men will find more active use for them. Quite a large proportion have remained in the city dale and the industrious ones are been preparing to contribute wards a season of activity albedo on Tuesday. If there more than another that they can want in preparing hisagers," and judging from them upon the various department a goodly number of oratorians be fired off before the end. But speech making isn't all done. There is going to be some of the important apprehension jerseyable of all is the produces The Secretary of War and overthrowing all civil tary superior to civil authorial of the army above commander-in-chief, the Priggo through in that shape.

LONDON, Jan. 15. — Eight roof of Dina's mine, at therex explosion, stopping plorers cannot enter ther The Anaheim Gazette, which has been crowing not a little about the exemption of its locality from frost during the cold spell, is candid enough to print the following: "Somehow or other we can't make the weather of yesterday fit into our climatic editorial. The wind blew directly from the snow-covered mountains, and the result was that even at midday a Black Star coal fire was a comfortable thing to sit near. But this is an exceptional year." We and ourselves in the same predicament here. Only a day or two before the coming of that lively nephyr which, on the old year, visited Santa Barbara from heathen lands to the southward, the Press indulged itself in a climate editorial; and, as had luck would have it, the article went into the same weekly issue with our elaborate account of the tornado! If an attempt had been made to devotail the two, it would have proved an ignominious failure.—Santa Barbara Press. New York, Jan. 12.—The annual internal revenue report for 1878 is published. The wines, spirits and malt liquors imported during the year have greatly fallen off. The importations of champagne show a light increase, there being 109,223 cases in 1878, an increase of 3,556. The decrease since 1873 in the business in foreign wines in bulk is assisted partly to the general depression following the panic, and to the development of new sources of supply in vineyards of California, Ohio and Missouri. The following figures afford a fair idea of recent developments in California wines: During the year the arrivals by the Pacific Mail Company's steamers were 882,265 gallons, and by clippers of Sutton & Co.'s line 335,676 gallons. The receipts by railroads are not in excess of 25,-600 gallons. This gives the total receipts of California wines by New York during 1878 of 1,262,941 gallons. Sacramento, Jan. 15.—This morning in the Tallis murder case, the trial of A. F. Clark was continued. Dye and Anderson were called and refused to testify. The District Attorney thereupon said that he had not evidence sufficient to ask conviction of defendant. The Court advised the jury to find a verdict of not guilty, which it did at once, without leaving the box. New York, Jan 14.—Madame Anderson completed the task of walking 2700 quarter miles in as many quarter hours to night. San Francisco, Jan. 14.—The Nevada Legislature to-day elected John P. Jones United States Senator by the following vote: Senate, Jones 19; Hillhouse, Democrat, 6; Assembly, Jones 41; Hillhouse 8. New York, Jan. 15.—The Herald criticises Governor Hartranft's action regarding the Molly Maguire murderers hanged yesterday as follows: There has been no visible reason why Hartranft, if he meant to act at all, should not have looked into this case impartially long ago and acted deliberately upon the results of his inquiries. As things are he has made himself liable to one of the gravest charges which can be brought against a public officer, namely: of trying to make political capital out of his function ofarding. We are quite aware of the gravity of this charge, but what else can possibly be said of a Chief Magistrate who allows a reprieve, which he must have determined upon after considering the facts which had for weeks been before him, to be delayed until it is exactly a minute and a half too late. The official explanation which is sent from Harrisburg of the delay, we are sorry to say, is rather worse than no explanation at all. The Visalia Delta says: fatality which has attended diphtheria in some localities. Pleasant View Sebbel Dmark. Out of twenty-five in the school, eleven have days, and there are now treatment. The Hunsake also to have suffered with it. Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAMETTE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 1. The new year has opened full of promise. Without reviewing the melancholy things among the events of 1878, or referring to the distressed condition belonging to its predecessors, we know that it brought us full granaries, and passed us twelve months further on in the gradual advance toward a healthy state, and makes its exit leaving behind unmistakable signs of better things to come. And resumption is now a legal fact, though it can not be said to be an accomplished fact. Probably many of your readers are among those who regarded it impracticable, yet now that a trial has come, even though it is only a shadow and not the substance, they will hope none the less that it will succeed. Failure would be a hundred fold more disastrous than the past unsettled condition of affairs could have been even if prolonged indefinitely. It is, however, shear nonsense to assume that this so-called resumption will produce an immediate change for the better, or immediate prosperity. The improvement now beginning to be felt in business has been slowly taking place for months past, and returning confidence and buoyancy is not a consequence of resumption, but the very thing that renders it remotely possible. These hopeful signs are not the result of anything Secretary Sherman has done, but in spite of it. He did not create the unusual demand for our products, nor did he grow the wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, and beeves, that enable us to supply it. As a strong constitution will enable a person to throw off disease and slowly convalescence toward perfect health, despite bad medical treatment, so this young, vigorous country, aided by boundless resources, has been recovering from depression, despite all the evils of bad legislation and the cruel, grinding policy of Sherman. There is a reason to believe that the same causes that have been helping our financial condition and our great industries, will continue to help them. In short, while the indications for the future do not promise a speedy return to the feverish speculation period of prosperity more apparent than real, they do point to a season of wholesome, well-grounded business activity, drawing capital out from its hiding-places and giving employment to those who are willing to work. One of the most discouraging features of the last few months has been the widespread feeling amongst the Cow-Fight in a Roman Amphitheatre. Two of the prices of the old city still exist at Nimes, offering some fine marble sculpture; but when one has been here and there about the old city, and seen all its antiquities, he returns again and again with growing interest to a contemplation of its magnificent amphitheatre. It is slightly elliptical in form, and smaller than the amphitheatre of Arles, and perhaps inferior to that in purity of style; but its situation makes it, on the whole, more attractive and cheerful, and it could once seat 25,000 spectators, which is quite an army. Each division of seats—one for the patricians, another for the equitarii, or knights, and two upper tiers for the plebias—had its own vomitorium, or exit, with distinct corridors, and these are all vet in good preservation. So enormous is the strength and so massive is the construction of this edifice that when Charles Martel expelled the Saracens from it and filled the corridors with wood and tried to burn it down, he was unable to make any perceptible impression. The arena is still used for bull-fights on fete days. I witnessed a spectacle of this sort in that place which in a remote way served to give me an idea of the grandeur of a gladiatorial day, or a fight with wild beasts, in those by-gone times when those vast tiers of marble were thronged with myriads robed in purple and gold. There were about six thousand present on this occasion. More probably, would have attended if it had been a regular bull-fight instead of a cow-fight which was offered on the bills.* But if less exciting, there was nearly as much fun in the spectacle I saw there. It was advertised as a "eotrue ibre," which meant that all who chose could enter the arena and join in the sport. The eows, if not as dangerous as bulls, were of Spanish breed, and by no means to be despised; if their horns had not been bound in felt, more than one champion would have lost his life in the arena that afternoon. Between the horns a rosette was firmly bound, and the lucky fellow who could tear it off won a gold piece and lots of applause. Many a daring youth licked the dust that day. Several had their shirts torn off and received very severe blows in the back, which doubtless, earned for them plenty of cheap and wholesome advice when they got home. One was pinned against the wall and had a very narrow escape. Sometimes there were several hundred men in the arena at once. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice.

There is a reason to believe that the same causes that have been helping our financial condition and our great industries, will continue to help them. In short, while the indications for the future do not promise a speedy return to the feverish speculation period of prosperity more apparent than real, they do point to a season of wholesome, well-grounded business activity, drawing capital out from its hiding places and giving employment to those who are willing to work. One of the most discouraging features of the last few months has been the widespread feeling amongst the possessors of means, that nothing was safe but government bonds. But with gold and silver and greenbacks on an equality, and enough of all to transact the business of the country, moneyed men will brace up and find more active use for their accumulations. Quite a large proportion of Congressmen have remained in the city during the recess, and the industrious ones among them have been preparing to contribute their share towards a season of activity after the re-assembling on Tuesday. If there is any one thing more than another that the average Congressman wants in preparing his speech it is "fingers," and judging from the numerous calls upon the various departments for "fingers," a goodly number of oratorical efforts are to be fired off before the end of the session. But speech making isn't all there is to be done. There is going to be a hot fight over some of the important appropriations, and a general stirring up of other matters. It is evident that the new army bill will have to run the gaudlet of sharp opposition. The charge is already made that the section depriving the government of the right to manufacture arms is a vast job in the interest of some private establishments. But most objectionable of all is the provision which reduces the Secretary of War to a mere cipher, and overthrowing all civil control of the military superior to civil authority, and the General of the army above its Constitutional commander-in-chief, the President. It won't go through in that shape. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.—The giant powder works of Bandmann, Nielson & Co., situated about half a mile south and west of the keeper's lodge at the Golden Gate Park, blew up with a terrific explosion at half past two this afternoon. The mills are located in the heart of the sand-hills. There were half a dozen buildings surrounding the works, principally occupied by the employees of the mills and their families. The explosion occurred in the nitro-glycerine house and the works are completely demolished. The Superintendent's house, in which he lived with his family, was wrecked, but none of the inmates were hurt. This explosion is the third which has taken place since the works were started. Three white men and one Chinaman were killed. One Chinaman was dangerous injured and many others, both white and Chinese, more or less hurt. The names of the white men killed are Oscar Carlsen, a Swede, and Edward Moritz and Samuel Thayer; Americans. LONDON, Jan. 15.—Eighty yards of the roof of Dina's mine, at the shaft, fell after the explosion, stopping ventilation. Explorers cannot enter the mine. There is no bulls, were of Spanish breed, and by no means to be despised; if their horns had not been bound in felt, more than one champion would have lost his life in the arena that afternoon. Between the horns a rosette was firmly bound, and the lucky fellow who could tear it off won a gold piece and lots of applause. Many a daring youth licked the dust that day. Several had their shirts torn off and received very severe blows in the back, which doubtless earned for them plenty of cheap and wholesome advice when they got home. One was pinned against the wall and had a very narrow escape. Sometimes there were nearly a hundred men in the arena at once, and this was one reason why none were killed outright, for as soon as one sportsman was knocked over all the others rushed and diverted the attention of the poor infuriated brute, which would finally get completely worried out and baffled from the constant rush of one and another. Thus the large number of men in the arena served as a protection rather than an increase of the danger. The prize was won three times in succession by one man—young, lithe, handsome and apparently made of steel and India rubber. He had a genius for that sort of thing evidently; but I could not help thinking how like that was to the game of life—how many try, how few win. The view in the galleries was scarcely less animated. On the shady side of the arena the throng was gathered from every class, from the English nobleman to the lowest canailie who could muster a few sous to pay for a back seat. Brilliant costumes and elegant toilette were not wanting to remind one of the scarlet togas and magnificent women of the olden times. The voluptuous and almost imperial beauty of some of the fair dames of Nimes collected there in that hour, was never surpassed in the brightest days of ancient Rome; and indeed it was Roman blood that gave to them a fiery and almost fierce splendor, such as may be transcended out of the south of France. There were also present some fine specimens of masculine beauty. The people of Languedoc and Providence, if less intellectual-looking than those of other parts of France, certainly present one of the noblest types of physical beauty the world has seen. Throughout this multitude the most vivid interest in the game became more and more evident, stimulated somewhat, perhaps by the absinthe, cane-de-vie, and coffee which were industriously circulated by lithe, bare-headed Ganymeles, who attracted my attention by the way in which, waiter and glasses in hand, they walked and balanced themselves on the beveled edge of the wall in front of the lower tier. But the interest and excitement culminated during the recess between the acts, if one may so express it. The gate was unbarred and a mob of boys and youths rushed in to participate in a scene which was evidently a customary part of the programme. For a few moments they scattered about the arena in search of coins which missed by those to whom they had been thrown. Suddenly one of the spectators hurled a circular cake into the air, and it fell spinning into the arena. This was the signal of one of the most extraordinary repetitions of the Kilkenny cats' fight that ever was seen. Men and boys rushed together in a perfect bedlam of confusion, each trying to seize the cake. It was torn into a hundred fragments in a moment; KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS THAT I Vindining Crawford, father of John W. Crawford and Joseph L.

M. —In his sermon yesterday Talmage said, in relation to the recent attacks by the comic papers: "While some of these falsehoods may have excited your mirth, there is one that is different, because it invades the sanctity of my home. It has been stated that sixteen years ago I went sailing upon the Schuylkill river with my wife and sister, and that I allowed my wife to drown while I saved her sister, marrying her in sixty days afterward. I propose to nail this infamous lie on the forehead of every man who shall utter it, and I invoke the law to aid me." Talmage then read from a paper which he had prepared a complete account of the unfortunate catastrophe on the Schuylkill. He was in a boat with his wife and child, his own sister and her child. Knowing nothing of the dam, they were swept over it and the boat was upset. His wife was instantly sucked under by the strong current; his sister, the two children and himself were saved by clinging to the gunwale of the boat. At the time this and accident occurred he had never seen or heard of his present wife, and was introduced to her for the first time nine months later by his brother. He would pay $100 to any responsible witness who in future would give him the name of any responsible person who dared utter this libel again. The Visalia Delta says: As a sample of the fatality which has attended the prevalence of diptheria in some localities in Tulare county, Pleasant View School District is a shining mark. Out of twenty-five pupils registered in the school, eleven have died within sixty days, and there are now five cases under treatment. The Hunsaker settlement seems also to have suffered with about equal severity. But the interest and excitement culminated during the recess between the acts, if one may so express it. The gate was unbarred and a mob of boys and youths rushed in to participate in a scene which was evidently a customary part of the programme. For a few moments they scattered about the arena in search of coins which missed by those to whom they had been thrown. Suddenly one of the spectators hurled a circular cake into the air, and it fell spinning into the arena. This was the signal of one of the most extraordinary repetitions of the Kilkenny cats' fight that ever was seen. Men and boys rushed together in a perfect bedlam of confusion, each trying to seize the cake. It was torn into a hundred fragments in a moment; and now there rained a hail storm of copper and silver coins, bonbons, cakes, loaves of bread, and fruit, thrown by the spectators, who were aroused to the last pitch of excitement and mirth as the multitude of men and boys scrambled together in an inextracably tangled mass of electrified humanity, every atom yelling, howling, struggling, pulling, tearing, kicking, leaping, pounding and lurching with the energy of fighting demons, faces flushed, noses scattered and bloody, hair pulled, and clothes torn, and yet through it all entire good humor. Never in the roughest football match that I have witnessed did I see anything approach the raciness and roughness of this remarkable and blood-stirring spectacle in the arena at Nimesa.—S. G. W. Benjamin in Harper's Magazine. A Novel Marriage. The Pioche Record relates the following novel mode of marriage ceremony: "Bronco Pat," finding that he could not get married in Pioche, secured the services of a Mormon Bishop, by the name of Allen, who lives down in the valley, and proceeded to the Utah line, some five miles distant. On arriving at the line, the good Bishop proceeded to business and married the couple. When the ceremony was being performed, Pat stood on the east side of the line, in the Territory of Utah, and the charming and blushing bride stood on the west side, in the State of Nevada, whilst Bishop Allen straddled the line, standing on both Utah and Nevada soil, and in this position the young couple were united. This is probably the first couple ever united in the holy bonds of matrimony with the groom standing in a Territory and the bride in a State, while the old cock who tied the knot stood in both. Wm.
