The Subscription Ball will come off at Kroeger's Hall on Friday. The floor will be called at 8:30 P.M. sharp. The Grand Jury failed to indict the Chinamen who engaged in such a scandalous row a few Sundays ago. The water was turned out of the Cajon ditch yesterday in order to allow a sand box to be put in at the mouth of the ditch. Among the shipments from the depot on Monday were two car-loads of grain and a large lot of hides, forwarded by Mr. Isaac Cohen. The Grand Jury made their report on Saturday.

Knighten, formerly of Orange, who has for some time past been under the care of an aneclist in San Francisco, is rapidly recovering his eyesight, and a permanent cure is anticipated. Robt. W. Scott Esq., purchased the north half of block E., in Orange, at the administrator's sale on last Saturday. The land belonged to the estate of Henry Jansen and comprises twenty acres. A refrigerator car arrived at the depot last night. P. H. Look & Co. will fill it with dressed mutton for the San Francisco market. On Saturday we will give an extended notice of the car and the enterprise. John G. Allen, a son of Gabriel Allen of Los Angeles, was shot and killed last week at Lerdo Colony, seventy miles below Yuma, on the Colorado. His murderer, Andres Molina, escaped. On last Thursday the jewelry store of Mariano Moyo, on Short street, Los Angeles, just beyond the old church, was burglarized and six watches, five revolvers, plot of jewelry and $200 in cash were carried off. The Secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., gives notice that until February 15th the stockholders will be furnished with day water at $1.00 per run of 12 hours and 50 cents for a night run of 12 hours for a head of water. We clip the following from a San Francisco paper: "Rev. A. Higbie, formerly of Napa, has so nearly lost his sight that he cannot see to read. A few years ago Mr. Higbie served a term in the State Assembly, representing Los Angeles county." At the meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Company, held on Saturday, the proposition to increase the capital stock of the company was voted down. A motion to change the by-laws was brought up, but a consideration of the matter was deferred. The semi-annual statement of the condition of the Bank of Anaheim is published this morning, and a careful reading of the figures there given shows it to be a sound and well managed institution. Its palpably discreet management extorted from Commissioner Murphy warm words of praise, and drew forth a deserved tribute to Cashier Seibert's ability as a financier. We observe a statement in the Santa Ana Herald to the effect that a number of the citizens of that place intend to participate in the Masquerade Ball to be given in Anaheim on February 14th. We assure our neighbors that they will be made welcome. There is every indication that the ball will eclipse that of last year both in brilliancy and attendance.

We assure our neighbors that they will be made welcome. There is every indication that the ball will eclipse that of last year both in brilliancy and attendance. The indications now are that a good barley crop will be a source of considerable profit to the owner. The drought in the northern part of the State, and the decreased area sown in the southern part will send the price of barley up, and no mistake. The agricultural editor of the Gazette, who has heretofore done all he could to discourage the planting of barley, has a heavy weight on his conscience. The Anaheim Hide and Leather Company's works are now under the charge of Mr. J. C. Casey, a tanner of great experience and intelligence. The leather made at the tannery found a ready market in San Francisco, Messrs. Hecht Bros. pronouncing it first-class. A shipment of leather was made on Monday. The officers of the company entertain not the slightest doubt of the ultimate success of the tannery, and the consequent enlargement of its capacity. The Chinese New Year began yesterday. The event was celebrated in the usual way. The Herald, of Los Angeles, the editor of which is a pronounced authority on Celestial matters, gives the following interesting notes: "In Chinese chronology this is the year 5. The years are numbered from the accession to the throne of the reigning Emperor. The present Emperor is a mere boy. His name is Kwong Suey. His official title is Kwong Ti, but he refers to himself as "Kua Gin," or "The Solitary and Unequal Man;" also as "Kua Kuin," or "The Solitary Prince." The Chinese are generally stated to have an authentic chronological history extending back through the reigns of successive Emperors for about 5,000 years; but some antiquities maintain that their written history goes back over 13,000 years. "The Chinese New Year's Day sometimes comes on the 21st of February—once every three years. This occurs because their months are lunar months, and every three years they add a month, making thirteen months in every third year; thus making a computation of time which agrees pretty well with the run of the seasons and does not differ so widely from the approximations of the Gregorian calendar." Socialism is rapidly becoming forces of modern life, and surprise few of our readers have been adopted by a large residents of this metropolitan meetings are held and led. The next meeting was to be to-morrow evening at the R. Olden, but we are required that it has been postponed the 30th. The Anaheim "aim at subverting the society, but simply seek to together with their friends." J. J. Carrillo, ex-City Los Angeles, was on Saturday lodged in jail on a charge owed to the city to the amount. The deficit was discovered Committee of the Council, but futile attempt to awaken music and the drama, by financial mainstay of Woodland Last Sensation, is said heavy deficit. He was giving bonds in the sum owed for examination on Satu Palomares and Francisco bondsmen. The Rev. W. H. Hill, I.O. O. F. and a prominent Masonic Order, will deliver in Kroger's Hall on the 6th. The subject will be their History and Infirmity Hill's intimate acquaintance and high ability as a speaker than ordinary interest may proceed of the lecture wards paying off the indebted on the Episcopal Church. Messrs. S. H. Mott and Beck, accompanied by M. Witte, went up to the coal and made a thorough inspection On Monday evening a full store held a meeting in the And transaction much in An assessment of $5 per payable on the 1st of May assessment seems to augur cution of work at the mine... At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday H. Knapke was re-elected ranjero for the ensuing year and the Secretary was instated to draw up a contract, to be signed by Mr. Knapke. The Committee on right of way for the connecting ditch reported that the necessary deeds had not yet been secured, but that the matter would probably be arranged this week. The committee was given full power to act in the premises and bring the matter to a conclusion. The Secretary was instructed to submit to different lumber dealers an estimate of the amount of lumber which will be required in constructing the connecting ditch, and ask them to make a bid to furnish the same. Before the meeting convened, the Secretary, Mr. Fischer, sold the 26 shares of delinquent stock, which were purchased by the company. In the evening he also made a settlement with the Cajon Company and received a deed of a half interest in the ditch. It is said that a party consisting of an ex-gunsmith and an ex-saloon keeper's wife left the city by private conveyance a day or two ago ostensibly on a hunting trip, but, in reality, to cross the border and seek the hospitable interior of Mexico, whither the woman's husband preceeded them some weeks ago. The gunsmith has had the reputation of being smitten with poker, and something even more enchanting, for a while back, and, between the two, has wasted his substance. The gunsmith shop has been denuded of its most valuable articles, such as fine cutlery, and fine revolvers, all of which, no A Concert at Westminster. On next Tuesday evening, the 29th inst., a concert will be given at the Congregational Church, Westminster, which will sellpe anything of the kind ever given in the southern part of the county. All the musical talent of Garden Grove and Westminster will be utilized and the Glee Club of Los Angeles have kindly volunteered their services. Professor Charles E. Day, the conductor, has a wide repertoire on musicism, and it is known that any entertainment of which he is the leader cannot be otherwise than a success. One of the features will be the grand chorus of forty voices. And the programme, which we give, will show that the selections are all of great excellence: PROGRAMME. Opening piece—Instrumental... Mrs. Fellows Chorus—"Hither Trip." Solo—"Maid of Dundee"...Miss Lilian Fellows Duett—"Matrimonial Sweets..." Mrs. J. Willey and Prof. Day Solo—"Janet's Choice."...Miss Essie Walton Quartet...

A visit to the palatial building in which the favored youth of our time acquire that learning to which the old adage says there is no royal road, awakens in the mind of the pioneer colonist vivid reminiscences of the early school house in Anaheim. There is a decided contrast between the school house of 1879 and the school house of 1880—between the rude benches of the latter period and the handsome, convenient desks of the present. And no better illustration could be given of the progress made by this visinity than a brief reference to the school history of the colony since the pioneers settled in Anaheim in 1859. For much of our data we are indebted to our friend Mr. John Fischer. It must be premised that in the early history of the colony the Anaheim Water Co. were the guardians of the little commonwealth—were, in fact, a supervisoral body charged with the duty of providing for all the public wants, and of carrying out the public desires. At a meeting of the company held on the 14th day of April, 1860, their attention was directed to the necessity of having a school building. A resolution was promptly introduced and passed, providing for the erection of a building. Of course, the corporation, as such, could not appropriate any of its funds for such a purpose; but, seeing the great necessity for such a building, they did not hesitate to order the preliminary work to begin, confident that A LEAF John Champion Capturer.

The gunsmith has had the reputation of being smitten with poker, and something even more enchanting, for a while back, and, between the two, has wasted his substance. The gunsmith shop has been denuded of its most valuable articles, such as fine cutlery, and fine revolyera, all of which, no doubt, went to make up the equipment of the hunting party. The stock left in the store is now covered by an attachment of $4,000 or more audited by Eastern creditors. There is a very ugly scandal about the ex-gunsmith and the woman of the party. All are well known in Los Angeles.—Express. The initials of the gunsmith are Mr. Sutherland. The strong wind which prevailed on last Saturday afternoon militated greatly against the pleasure of both players and spectators of the match game between the Anaheim and Garden Grove Base Ball Clubs, and effectually prevented any brilliant playing. Following is the score: Anaheim, Capt. W. S. Fish 123456789 Garden Grove, Capt. J. Harris 41442627 Umpire, E. Claridge; scorers, Fred J. Fischer and C. F. McDewell. We are requested to impress upon the members of the Anaheim club the necessity of making a more prompt appearance on the grounds whenever a game is to be played. It is probable that the Anaheim club will visit Garden Grove in a couple of weeks, and give the club of that place an opportunity to "get even." Circular letters have been issued from the San Francisco Bulletin office and sent to persons in the different counties in the State, asking them to write concerning the effects of the late frost, the amount of damage done to semi-tropical trees, the lowest reading of the thermometer, etc. We very much doubt the wisdom of publishing information acquired in this way, unless verified in some way. If a section has suffered serious damage, it is not to be expected that the interested persons, who receive the circulars referred to, will deliberately paint the true state of affairs in all its dark colors. There will be an immense amount of excusable lying done in these answers. Socialism is rapidly becoming one of the forces of modern life, and it will therefore surprise few of our readers to learn that its principles, subject to certain modifications, have been adopted by a large number of the residents of this metropolis. Periodical meetings are held and largely attended. The next meeting was to have taken place to-morrow evening at the residence of W. R. Olden, but we are requested to mention that it has been postponed until Thursday the 30th. The Anaheim "Socialists" do not aim at subverting the fabric of modern wealth—were, in fact, a supervisoral body charged with the duty of providing for all the public wants, and of carrying out the public desires. At a meeting of the company held on the 14th day of April, 1860, their attention was directed to the necessity of having a school building. A resolution was promptly introduced and passed, providing for the erection of a building. Of course, the corporation, as such, could not appropriate any of its funds for such a purpose; but, seeing the great necessity for such a building, they did not hesitate to order the preliminary work to begin, confident that the colonists would contribute the needed amount—a confidence, it may be remarked, which was decidedly not misplaced. The work of making adobe was immediately begun, and in November, 1860, the actual work of building was commenced under the supervision of Mr. F. W. Kuelp. The building was put up on Lot 54, just back of the house now occupied by Rev. Mr. Trew. Its size was 27x38 feet, 16 feet high in the clear, and its cost was about $900. Such was the first school building in Anaheim. It was a big thing for those days, and the worthy burghers doubtless looked upon it with a satisfaction unobscured by any doubt as to its ever giving place to such a structure as was completed this year. The records of the Water Company show that the building was rented to Mr. Kuelp for $1 a year, but the Water Company reserved the privilege of holding its meetings in the school room every Saturday. Mr. Kuelp was the first teacher, and there are yet in our midst many handsome maidens and brave ladies who hold him green in their memory. The memorable flood of 1861-2 so underlined the walls of the school house that its further occupancy was attended with danger, and the adobe building (part of which is still standing) in the rear of Mr. Nagle's store, was utilized as a school house. Mr. Kuelp succeeded as teacher in 1865 by Mr. Van Gulpen, who taught until 1867. He in turn was succeeded by Miss Belle Swift. Later, Miss Jane Swift assumed charge of the school. In 1869 Mr. J. M. Guinn accepted the Principalship, a position which he has filled with honor ever since. The intermediate and primary schools have been under the charge of Miss Marquis, Miss Hamilton and the Misses Hutchinson, in the order named. The corps of teachers at present is: Principal, Prof. J. M. Guinn; Intermediate Department, Miss Adah DesGranges; Primary Department, Mrs. Evans. In 1869 the primitive school house was found no longer adequate to the requirements of the district, and a frame building was erected on First South street. The rapid growth of Anaheim in 1870-71 made it necessary to build additions to the school house. Even these proved inadequate, and when four years ago it was found both impossible and impolitic to crowd any more buildings on the school lot, the lower story of the Masonic Hall was leased for the use of the Primary department. Even then the accommodations were bat scant, and the erection of the building now used became a necessity—such an treason had Strange rumors officers high in rank in an eminent demeanor of Washington camp he sent himself fully to bold Virginia for his Serjeant-Master years old, possessed danger. His Champe would be sued for his own count; his Serjeant-Master declared that he loyal, and yielded again at his head. Serious Accident. The San Luís Obispo Tribune gives the following account of an accident which befell a former resident of Anaheim: On Thursday, the 9th inst., Mr. D.W. Fields and family met with a severe accident near the Arroyo Grande mills. Mr. Fields has for some time had charge of Mr.Newhall's ranch in Monterey County, and was moving to one of gentleman's ranches in Santa Barbara county. The team he was driving became unmanageable and overturned the wagon. The occupants, Mr.Fields, his mother, a lady eighty-three years of age,sister and a young lady friend were all or more contused by the fall.The old lady was the most severely injured of any of the party.She suffered a fracture of the left arm below the elbow.Dr.Nichols,of this city，was sent for and immediately responded to the call,and rendered medical assistance required.The doctor reports thatthe unfortunate old lady is doing well and says she bears her injuries with more fortitude than many younger people would. From New Mexico. Mr.A.W.Steinhart has received a letter from C.C.Sweetzer,f formerly of Anaheim extracts from which we give below.The Mr.Casad referred to was a few years ago a prominent citizen of this section. MESSILLA,(New Mexico),Jan.7th,1879.I sold out my place in Arizona and came here last month.I found old man Casad here,looking about the same as ever.He has built a fine flouring mill and is doing well with it,running night and day.He has got hold of property enough to make him a millionaire ifthe country ever comes outwhich I think it will.The valley is from five to ten miles widewith any amount of water for irrigation.With proper cultivationit would support a large population.The high lands afford good grazingbut water is very scarce.

Socialism is rapidly becoming one of the forces of modern life, and it will therefore surprise few of our readers to learn that its principles, subject to certain modifications, have been adopted by a large number of the residents of this metropolis. Periodical meetings are held and largely attended. The next meeting was to have taken place to-morrow evening at the residence of W. R. Olden, but we are requested to mention that it has been postponed until Thursday the 30th. The Anaheim "Socialists" do not aim at subverting the fabric of modern society, but simply seek to have a good time together with their friends. J. J. Carrillo, ex-City Tax Collector of Los Angeles, was on Saturday arrested and lodged in jail on a charge of being a defaulter to the city to the amount of $11,638.56. The deficit was discovered by the Finance Committee of the Council. A praiseworthy but futile attempt to awaken an interest in music and the drama, by becoming the financial mainstay of Woods' Opera House and Last Sensation, is said to account for the heavy deficit. He was released on giving bonds in the sum of $5000 to appear for examination on Saturday. Francisco Palomares and Francisco Lopez are his bondmen. The Rev. W. H. Hill, P. G. M. of the I. O. O. F. and a prominent official in the Masonic Order, will deliver a public lecture in Kroger's Hall on the evening of Feb. 6th. The subject will be "Secret Societies, their History and Influence," and from Mr. Hill's intimate acquaintance with the subject and high ability as a speaker, a lecture of more than ordinary interest may be anticipated. The proceeds of the lecture will be applied towards paying off the indebtedness still due on the Episcopal Church. Messrs. R. H. Mott and J. K. Hollenbeck, accompanied by Messrs Seibert and Witte, went up to the coal mine on Sunday and made a thorough inspection of the works On Monday evening a full Board of Directors held a meeting in the Bank of Anaheim, and transacted much important business. An assessment of $5 per share was levied, payable on the 1st of March. This heavy assessment seems to augur a vigorous prosecution of work at the mine. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Senator Sargent and Booth and Representatives Page, Wigginton and Luttrell made a joint visit to the Postoffice Department to-day and united in expressing their confidence in Postmaster Dunkelberger, of Los Angeles, and their opinion that the present location of the Post-office, in the Odd Fellow's building, should be continued. The efforts of certain property-holders to break up Dunkelberger's arrangement in this regard seem to have locally aroused an intense feeling and to have somewhat imperiled his tenure of office. Hence this united effort of his powerful friends in Washington, which, doubtless, settles the matter. The House War Claims Committee have reported favorably on Page's bill for the relief of William H. Davis, of Oakland, with an amendment providing that the amount of money to be paid him as the value of his wharf and warehouse in San Diego, destroyed by United States troops, shall be determined by the Secretary of War. The committee in their written report state that during the winter of 1861-2 unprecedented floods of rain cut off all communication of San Diego with the interior; and the troops stationed there, finding themselves destitute of wood for fuel or for any other purpose, availed themselves of this wharf and the terminating warehouse as not only a convenient but the only source of supply and continued the work of demolition until the whole structure was cleared away, the planks being ripped up and the piles being sawed off at the water's edge. This extraordinary use of private property was authorized and directed by the commanding officer as a matter of necessity and having occurred in a legal State, far away from the theatre of war, and the committee find there is no doubt of the liability of the government to make compensation. They are satisfied by testimony that the property cost Davis $200,000 in 1862. The committee say the Secretary of War should ascertain, on the behalf of the government, what amount of damage should he pay the chairman for its destruction in 1862. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—The wine and liquor trade circular states that 1,243,241 gallons of California wines were received on the Atlantic Coast last year. During the last two years the American wine business has nearly doubled, while during six years the sale of foreign wine still decreased nearly two-thirds. The increase in alcohol exportation is enormous and the Fall trade unusually large and profitable, In 1869 the primitive school house was found no longer adequate to the requirements of the district, and a frame building was erected on First South street. The rapid growth of Anaheim in 1870-71 made it necessary to build additions to the school house. Even these proved inadequate, and when four years ago it was found both impossible and impolitic to crowd any more buildings on the school lot, the lower story of the Masonic Hall was leased for the use of the Primary department. Even then the accommodations were but scant, and the erection of the building now used became a necessity—such an apparent necessity that not a voice was raised against the passage of the Act giving the District authority to sell bonds, and use the money in building a structure to which our people could point with pride. Ten years ago Anaheim School District embraced an area almost if not quite as large as New England State. In his address last August on the occasion of laying the corner stone of the school house, Mr. Guinn described it as extending from the mountains to the sea, and from near the San Gabriel river on the north to the Santa Ana on the south. Yet in all that vast expanse of territory there were but 180 school children. But such has been the growth of this section, that there is at present in the same territory seventeen schools, having a total attendance of 1500 children. Such facts as we have recounted convey a vivid idea of the changes which have been wrought in the southern portion of Los Angeles county in the last decade. A Washington letter says: A Londoner, one Prof. Ganger, has a process of especial interest now for freezing out the yellow fever. He says he can in fifteen minutes so reduce the temperature of a dwelling or a vessel as to destroy all germs of the disease. There is of course a great deal of apprehension in the South and Southwest that with hot weather of next summer the horrors of last year will return. The Prof. claims that he can prevent this, or the introduction of the disease by his process. He seems to have won the confidence of physicians here, and is being asked as far as possible by government officials. His plan has been submitted to members of the commission now in the South investigating the cause and nature of the fever, and will probably receive attention in their report. "I am able to see suspicion himself." Not by the British to their cause or perdition; just to tide nation. I wish afficting step completion o A LEAF FROM HISTORY. John Champs's Burial - His Plan to Capture Benedict Arnold. The offer of Cyria W. Field to build a monument to Major Andre on the spot where that spy was executed, has called forth voluminous comments on the proposition, most of them decidedly averre to Mr. Field and denunciatory of his scheme. The New York papers term with communications on the subject, and naturally the discussion of the question him brought forward many interesting reminiscences of "the time that tried men's saints." The story of Sergent-Major Champs seems to possess sufficient interest for the columns of the Gazette, and we give it here as told in the columns of a New York daily: All Americans know how anxious Washington was to capture Benedict Arnold. But all do not know one of the weightiest rehearsals for this anxiety. If Arnold had fallen, who could be trusted? Who could tell how far the treason had sapped its way unsuspected? Strange rumors were in the air about other officers high in rank, one of whom enjoyed in an eminent degree the confidence and esteem of Washington. On his arrival at the camp he sent for Major Henry Lee, the father of the late Robert E. Lee, unbosomed himself fully to him, and asked if among the bold Virginia spirits under his command there was one who would be willing to risk life, liberty and honor on a desperate stake for the good of his country. Lee replied that he had such a man in his legion, a native of his own county of London, John Champs, for me to accept a conclusion in the traitor's legion that I might have uninterrupted escape to his house. Thislier he usually returns at midnight, and previously to rotting walls a short time in his garden. There I am to mime and gag him, and with the assistance of a trusty spy bear him to a boat which will be in rendition. In case of investigation we shall say that we are bemoined an insulated soldier to the guardhouse. Some of the palms from the garden fence are to be previously removed, that our silent passage to the alley may be facilitated. On the night which the hearer is commissioned to appoint mind out of Holohan with twenty of the Virginian Carabages those brothers of my soul, and then God willing, I will deliver to your hand the trouble of Israel. Lee, on the appointed day, sequestered him with a party of dragons, enclosing three led horses, one of them the beautiful steward of Champs. He concealed himself with his party in a thick wood. His anxiety may well be imagined as evening drawn on, night passed, and morning dawned. Dump-pointed and full of apprehension, he returned with his party to consult Washington. Several days passed before the arrival of the trusty spy, from whom they learned that a sudden movement of Arnold, who changed his quarters only a few hours before the time fixed for the execution of their plans, had frustrated them. Poor Champs was obliged to accompany the traitor to Virginia. At the peril of his life he escaped in North Carolina, hiding for whole days in the thickets, and at length rejoined the army which was in pursuit of Lord Rawdon. He sought Major Lee, who received him with fraternal emotion, and introduced him to Gen. Greene. The veteran treated him with all the consideration due to his heroism. Major Lee, restoring to him his favorite horse, sent him to Washington, who comforted him as only a noble mind could, and gave him an honorable discharge, fearing for him the vengeance of the enemy should the chances of war place him in their power. the treason had sapped its way unsuspected? Strange rumors were in the air about other officers high in rank, one of whom enjoyed an eminent degree the confidence and esteem of Washington. On his arrival at the camp he sent for Major Henry Lee, the father of the late Robert E. Lee, unbosomed himself fully to him, and asked if among the bold Virginia spirits under his command there was one who would be willing to risk life, liberty and honor on a desperate stake for the good of his country. Lee replied that he had such a man in his legion, a native of his own county of Loudon, John Champe, his Serjeant-Major, who, although but 24 years old, possessed a courage equal to any danger. His only doubt was whether Champe would accept any service on which the shadow of dishonor rested. Washington gave minute and accurate instructions to Major Lee, who repaired to his camp and sent for Champe. He was a handsome, finely-proportioned young man, of grave countenance, with deep-set black eyes. When the scheme was unfolded to him, Champe shrank from the idea of desertion. He declared his life was at the service of Washington, but that his honor was his own. Lee, as a last inducement, pronounced the name of the suspected General whose character Washington was anxious to clear. Champe started, declared that the army held no man more loyal, and yielded. He hastened to make his preparations. He knew that his first danger was from the pursuit of his own comrades, rendered doubly watchful and suspicious by the crime of Arnold. Major Lee was sitting in his tent when it was reported to him that a dracoon had been seen to leave the camp, who, when challenged by the sentry, put spurs to his horse and escaped. Anxious to give his Sergeant every possible opportunity, Lee first affected to misunderstand, and next to doubt the correctness of the report. It was undoubtedly, he said, some countryman. It was impossible that any member of the Virginia legion could be guilty of such an act. The officer was somewhat indignant, and replied that the deserter was believed to be no less a person than the Sergeant-Major, as his horse and arms were missing. A pursuing party was soon equipped. After inspecting them, Lee suddenly remembered that he had other duty for the Lieutenant in command, and sent for Cornet Middleton to take his place. He did this partly to create delay, partly from a knowledge of Midleton's kindly disposition. His instructions were to bring the man alive to camp, that he might suffer, if guilty, in the presence of the army, but to kill him if he resisted. It was midnight, and the rain fell in torrents. Just at daybreak, from an eminence some miles from Bergen, near the "Three Pigeons," a tavern kept at the present day, the dragoons described Champe about half a mile in advance. He put spurs to his horse, and made for the village of South Bergen, determined to seek refuge on board one of the two British galleys which usually lay in Newark Bay, a mile or two distant. Presently he heard the pursers again at his heels. But a few hundred yards The following statement has been furnished to the Constitutional Convention by the Secretary of State, showing the amount of aid extended to the Central-Southern Pacific Railroad corporation by the counties of California. This, it will be remembered, is entirely in excess of subsidies by the General Government: Butte, $132,000, ten per cent; El Dorado, $146,500, ten per cent; Los Angeles county, $136,000 at ten per cent, and $377,000 at seven per cent; Los Angeles city, $75,000, ten per cent, and $13,000, seven per cent; Marin, $160,000, seven per cent; Napa, $228,000, ten per cent; Sacramento city and county, $77,500, eight per cent; San Francisco city and county, San Francisco and San Jose road, $150,000 seven per cent; Central Pacific, $377,000 seven per cent; Western Pacific, $250,000 seven per cent; San Joaquin, $80,000 seven per cent; City of Stockton, $120,000 seven per cent; Santa Clara, $150,000 seven per cent; Sasita Cruz, $114,000 seven per cent; Solano, $200,000 seven per cent; Sonoma, $267,000 eight per cent; Yuba, $32,500 ten per cent. The total present county indebtedness is $2938,000. In addition, the State has guaranteed the interest upon $1,500,000 seven per cent bonds of the Central Pacific Railroad for twenty years. The Late Cold Snap. [Riverside (San Bernardino Co.) Press] The late cold snap has affected the various parts of our colony very differently. None of the old, sheltered orchards are hurt at all, and some of the nurseries are untouched, but most young trees are singled more or less. The severity of the frost was very closely in proportion to the approach of the locality to the river bottom. In the arroyos and most exposed mea lands many lime hedges are killed back to the ground; three-year-old lemon trees have the tops pretty well singed, and many budded orange trees are killed back six inches to a foot. The difference in the frost-enduring nature of the lime and the orange can be plainly seen in the affected orchards. Long handsome rows of young orange trees still glossy and green are surrounded by hedges of bleached limes, as dead to all appearance (though not in reality) as a last year's mullen stalk. Courage patient workers! You shall not lose your reward. Next fall no sign will remain of this climatic phenomenon. man alive to camp, that he might suffer, if guilty, in the presence of the army, but to kill him if he resisted. It was midnight, and the rain fell in torrents. Just at daybreak, from an eminence some miles from Bergen, near the "Three Pigeons," a tavern kept at the present day, the dracoons deserved Champe about half a mile in advance. He put spurs to his horse, and made for the village of South Bergen, determined to seek refuge on board one of the two British galleys which usually lay in Newark Bay, a mile or two distant. Presently he heard the pursers again at his hoofs. But a few hundred yards separated them. A long marsh and deep waters lay between him and safety. He sprang from his horse and plunged into the morass. His pursurers came up and dismounted also. Struggling through the mud and slime, with his drawn sword held above his head, Champe reached the river's brink, plunged in, and swam toward the galleys. His cloak and scabard had been thrown away, but for a time he still held his trusty blade. This slipped from his hand and was lost. The scene had been watched with great interest and rightly interpreted by those on board the galleys. Fire was opened on the dracoons, some of whom were preparing to follow Champe into the water, while a light boat quickly picked up the fugitive. Champe was kindly received on board the British galley and sent at once to New York. After the usual interrogations by the Adjutant-General he was taken before Sir Henry Clinton, who put gold in his hand and sent him to Arnold. Champe found Arnold quartered in an elegant private mission, surrounded by the luxury that was so dear to him. The traitor responded the visitor with a keen, inquisitive look. The Virginia cavalry had borne such a high reputation for fidelity that he could reasonably believe one of them stood before him in the character of a deserter. But as he read the letter from the commander of the galleys, who had witnessed the escape, his doubts vanished. He congratulated Champe, promised him the same position in his legion that he had held in this patriot array, and assigned him quarters near himself. Some days later, by the hands of another spy, Major Lee received a letter in cypher, of which this was the important part: "I am able confidently to assure you that the suspicions excited by Arnold are false as himself. Not one of our officers is supposed by the British to be otherwise than insulted to their cause. Only one has fallen—one son of perdition. To have the pleasure of doing justice to fidelity balances the evil of my nation. I was yesterday compelled to most afficting step, but one indispassible to the completion of my plan. It was necessary Coal Ashes on Sand. A correspondent of the American Cultivator says that three years ago he commenced putting on coal ashes, and has put them on every Spring since. The result is surprising: This spot, which three years ago was here and dry as the highway, is now covered with white clover, which has been cut upon this year, and is now under a July sun, an fresh and green as in the Spring. No other fertilizer has been used on this land, and the effect must be due to the use of the coal ashes. In some spots the ashes were two inches thick, while there is affect in most marked. He has also used coal ashes in a compost with stable manure, and applied them to potatoe in the hill. He found, on digging them, the smoothest potatoes where there were the most ashes.
