FROM WEDNESDAY'S SEMI-WEBKEY. John Carlin, for many years a resident of Los Angeles, has removed to San Francisco to take charge of an insurance agency. The sand box at the mouth of the Cajon ditch having been completed, water was again let into the ditch yesterday. The main ditch of the Anaheim Water Company is being thoroughly cleaned in anticipation of the summer campaign. In stepping from a boggy at Tustin City on Saturday last, Miss Connors, a resident of that place, broke her leg. A cameo breastpin was picked up on the floor of the Episcopal Church after service on Sunday last. The loser can recover it by applying at the house of the Rev. Mr. Trew. A son of Capt. Bottowe, of Santa Monica, had his leg and thigh broken one day last week, while trying to secure a pile which had become detached from the Santa Monica whart. As an instance of the productivity of vines in this section it may be stated that a three-year-old vine in Mrs. Metz' vineyard bore forty-two pound of grapes.

It is said that the Lafayette Hotel in Los Angeles will be opened about the 1st of March by Messrs. Hammel and Denker, at present the lessees of the U. S. Hotel. The fortnightly social under the auspices of the Episcopal congregation will take place to-morrow evening, at the residence of Mr. W. R. Olden. The Los Angeles Woolen Mills are in full operation, and have already made several thousand dollars worth of blankets and flannels. In the District Court on Friday, in the case of P. Davis & Bro., vs. the Cajon Irrigation Company, a decree was ordered to enter for the principal sum without costs or interest. Ten days stay granted. Stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company are reminded that the assessment becomes delinquent on Feb. 4th. A failure to pay before that date will involve additional cost. We are indebted to Mr. Gus Davis for a Navel or Bahia orange, grown by Charles T. Harris of Orange. The fruit is large (12 inches in circumference), and is a perfect beauty to look at. The characteristic mark is quite prominent and shows that the roots is well named. Dr. E. T. Wilkins, resident physician of the Napa Insane Asylum, in answer to an inquiry in regard to the condition of Henry Schwartz, writes: "I am happy to state that Mr. Schwartz has greatly improved in every respect and has already been placed in the convalescent ward, and we have every reason to hope that he will make a rapid recovery. The following from Spear, Meade & Co., commission merchants, San Francisco, may be interesting to our people: "Oranges today (January 14), 160 to 200 in box, $22 50 @$30 per M; 200 to 250 in box, $15@20 per M; 250 to 300, $9@15 per M; 300 to 350, $7 @8 per M; 350 to 400, $5 per M." Oranges so large that only 160 can be packed in a box brought $30, while 400 in a box only brought $5. Or oranges two and a half times larger bring six times the price for same quantity in cubic inches. Moral—don't let your trees overbear. Get the largest possible fruit and secure the best retufis. —Riverside Press.

The Subscription Ball last Friday evening was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants, the revelries being prolonged far into the night. Though several unforeseen circumstances rendered impossible the attendance of a number of the subscribers, the festivities were none the less enjoyed. The floor was admirably conducted and the music by the Anaheim String Band enchanting. The young gentlemen having the management of the dance in charge have been prevailed upon to give another party in the near future. We are told that in the grounds of the Co-operative Nursery Association—the largest nursery of semi-tropical fruits in the State—the loss has been great but not disastrous. There are about three hundred thousand trees in the mufsey. Half of them were nipped, many of the number being frozen to the ground. There are remaining fully one hundred thousand trees perfectly healthy, and many more which, by trimming, will survive. The trees which stood the ordeal best were one-year-old buds on four-year-old standards. Those which suffered most were the buds of seven months' growth on standards of the same age. A practical nurseryman informs us that those trees which are frosted the worst may be cut down to the ground and that the root will sent up another shoot of extra vigor this Summer, which before another Winter sets in will be ready to receive a bud.—Express.

A citizens' meeting was held in Los Angeles on Friday night, to consider the financial affairs of the city and county. The defalcation of the City Treasurer was the pretext for calling the meeting. A resolution was offered requiring the city officials having charge of public moneys to give a bond, accompanied by a certificate from some reputable searcher of records, that their bondsmen are possessed of property clear of home-stead and all other liabilities, in double the sum for which they become responsible, such bondsmen not to be allowed to alienate such property during the term of office of the official for whom they become bound. City Attorney Godfrey said that the bonds of the present city officers were drawn up in as strong a manner as it was possible to frame such instruments. He thought, however, that it would be a good idea to have a law passed at the next session of the Legislature requiring all bonds to be recorded as mortgages and other liens against property, and he would suggest the appointment of a committee to memorialize the next Legislature to pass such a law. The resolution quoted above was withdrawn, and the following adopted: Resolved, That the Chair appoint a committee of five citizens to act in conjunction with a committee of the Board of Supervisors to examine into the conduct of the financial affairs of the county. Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the Board of Supervisors make an appropriation to detray the expenses of a competent expert or experts to perform the duties of the desired investigation; and that Rules and Regulations of Public Schools. For the information of parents and guardians who have children attending the public schools we have been requested by the teachers to publish the following "Rules of and Regulations of the Public Schools of California." Teachers are required by the School Law to enforce these regulations: Sec. 2. Unless otherwise provided by special action of Trustees or Board of Education, the daily session shall commence at nine o'clock A.M. and close at four o'clock P.M., with an intermission at noon of one hour from twelve M. to one o'clock P.M. There shall be allowed a recess of twenty minutes in the foremost season—from ten forty to eleven o'clock and a recess of twenty minutes in the afternoon session—from two forty to three o'clock. Sec. 21. Teachers are authorized to require excuses from the parents or guardians of pupils either in person or by written note, in all cases of absence or tardiness, or of dismissal before the close of school. Sec. 13. Any pupil who shall in any way cut or otherwise injure any school house or injure any fences, trees or outbuildings belonging to any of the school estates, or shall write any profane or obscene language or make any obscene pictures or characters on school premises, shall be liable to suspension, expulsion or other punishment according to to the nature of the offense. The teacher may suspend a pupil temporarily for such offense and shall notify the Trustees of said action. All damages done to school property by any of the pupils shall be repaired at the expense of the parents or guardians of said pupil. RULES FOR PUPILS. (From the School Laws.) Rule I. Every pupil is expected to attend school punctually and regularly, to conform mortgages and other liens against property, and he would suggest the appointment of a committee to memorialize the next Legislature to pass such a law. The resolution quoted above was withdrawn, and the following adopted: Resolved. That the Chair appoint a committee of five citizens to act in conjunction with a committee of the Board of Supervisors to examine into the conduct of the financial affairs of the county. Resolved. That it is the sense of this meeting that the Board of Supervisors make an appropriation to detray the expenses of a competent expert or experts to perform the duties of the desired investigation; and that they report from time to time and publish the same in the press. After the passage of some other resolutions of little import the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. Jesse H. Butler, President of the meeting, has appointed D. F. O'Leary, ex-Gov. Downey, H. D. Barrows and Isaac Kinley as the committee to co-operate with the Supervisors, as per resolution above. — The Sespe oil regions are in the way of being favorably known very shortly. The Los Angeles Company are putting up an eight hundred barrel tank. When this is completed it will afford, with their old four hundred barrel tank, twelve hundred barrels of tankage. Their well, which is easily of one hundred barrels capacity daily, is now down fifteen hundred feet. They propose to keep on sinking till they reach some two hundred feet further. During the whole sinking of this well they have never encountered quicksand or any other difficulty except water, which they met at a depth of six hundred feet. They have been obliged to employ but a single casing, against three which were necessitated in one of the wells of the San Fernando region. The whole cost of the well so far has been $8,300, against $30,000 expended in at least one well in Southern California. Their experiences at every stage have been specially favorable, and we are glad to chronicle the fact that the tests of the quality of their oil at the San Buenaventura refinery have been highly favorable. Specimens of their lubricating oils have been sent East and doubtless a report will be received at an early day. The judgment of the local experts is that they are of a very superior quality. — "Is there Personal Recognition in Heaven?" was the theme of Rev. Mr. Trew's discourse at the Episcopal Church on Sunday morning. He argued in the affirmative, and supported his theory by numerous quotations from the New Testament. A belief in this proposition he argued, would do much to assuage the grief of those whom death had robbed of a loved one, as they would regard their loss as merely temporary, and pass through life happy in the belief of an ultimate re-union with the beloved in heaven. The external form of heaven's inhabitants is the same as before their translation; they are capable of the same emotions as we on earth are, and can recognize and associate with such of their friends as have attained the same heavenly habitation. In his closing injure any fences, trees or outbuildings be longing to any of the school estates, or shall write any profane or obscene language or make any obscene pictures or characters on school premises, shall be liable to suspension, expulsion or other punishment according to to the nature of the offense. The teacher may suspend a pupil temporarily for such offense and shall notify the Trustees of said action. All damages done to school property by any of the pupils shall be repaired at the expense of the parents or guardians of said pupil. RULES FOR PUPILS. (From the School Laws.) Rule 1. Every pupil is expected to attend school punctually and regularly, to conform to the regulations of the school and obey promptly all the directions of the teacher; to observe good order and propriety of department; to be diligent in study, respectful to teachers and kind and obliging to schoolmates. To refrain entirely from use of profane and vulgar language, and to be clean and neat in person and clothing. Rule 2. Pupils are required in all cases of absence to bring on their return to school an excuse in writing from their parents or guardians, assigning good and sufficient reasons for such absence. Rule 3. All pupils who have fallen behind their grade by absence, or irregularity of attendance, by indolence or inattention, shall be placed in the grade below at the discretion of the teacher. Rule 4. No pupil shall be permitted to leave school at recess, or at any other time before the regular hour for closing school, except in case of sickness or on written request of parent or guardian. Rule 5. Any scholar who shall be absent one week without giving notice to the teacher shall lose all claim to his particular desk for the remainder of the term and shall not be considered a member of school. Rule 6. Each scholar shall have a particular desk and shall keep the same and the degree beneath in a neat and orderly condition. In Memoriam. Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father in his divine wisdom to remove from our presence to his celestial abode our loved companion and friend, Charles Avery Hannah; and while we how to the Supreme will, our hearts are suddenly untimely death; therefore, be it Resolved. That this society mourn for the loss of its worthy member, and that we tender our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the sorrowing family as a token of our sincere love for him and our sympathy for their sorrow and loss. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the society and that the Secretary be instructed to request the Anaheim Gazette to publish the same. MRS. S. N. EVANS ALICE CHASE W. E. DAREACOTT Amateur Dramatic Club, Jan. 7th, 1879. CHICAGO, January 24. — The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says: The Senate Judiciary Committee have reported favorably on Christiancy's bill to carry into operation the recent decision of the Supreme Court affirming the constitutionality of the anti-polygamy law of 1862, and an attempt will be made to pass it this session. The bill is not materially changed from its original form, and provides that in any prosecution for polygamy where the defendant is a believer in any reason against them what sport they had. To which they replied, "As many as we caught we left, as many as we could not catch we carry with us." This was too much for the author of the Iliad. He guessed and guessed, till he could guess no longer, and finally died of sheer vexation. According to Gregory Nanzianzen, Justin Wartyr, and Eustathius, Aristotle went off in precisely the same way, because he could not understand a more interesting riddle set by Nature, namely the cause of the ebbing and flowing of the Euripus. "Since," he indignantly exclaimed, "I cannot conceive the Euripus, let the Euripus receive me." Diocleso, ingenius inventor of the "horned" and "vealed" sophism, having met with his match in one Stilpo, who "caught" him with another sophism, which he was unable to solve, went home, wrote a book about it, and died of despair. The Romance of Death. It is not a little singular that the Greeks have scarcely ever failed to make the deaths of their literary heroes as marvelous as their lives. Homer, they tell us, died of a broken heart, because he could not guess a riddle. As Horace had been warned by a witch that a chatterbox would be his death, so had Homer been warned by an oracle that he would be killed by a riddle. And his day came. Seeing—or rather hearing, for the tradition of his blindness is too universal to be discredited—some young fishermen in a boat, he unfortunately asked them what sport they had had. To which they replied, "As many as we caught we left, as many as we could not catch we carry with us." This was too much for the author of the Iliad. He guessed and guessed, till he could guess no longer, and finally died of sheer vexation.

A belief in this proposition? he argued, would do much to assuage the grief of those whom death had robbed of a loved one, as they would regard their loss as merely temporary, and pass through life happy in the belief of an ultimate re-union with the beloved in heaven. The external form of heaven's inhabitants is the same as before their translation; they are capable of the same emotions as we on earth are, and can recognize and associate with such of their friends as have attained the same heavenly habitation. In his closing remarks he paid a warm tribute to the memory of Charlie Hanna, whom he spoke of as a young man of decided religious convictions, and whose example in dedicating himself to Christ and making formal public profession of his faith in Him might well be imitated by the younger members of the community. Quite a number of our citizens attended the concert given at Westminster last night, among whom we noticed Mine Host Dunham of the Anaheim, Lord Bould, Dan Payne and the Boss Editor of the Gazette, all well shielded from the wet and cold by regulation ulsters and colossal bottles of Nabob, they using their thumbs in place of corks. Any defects this morning must be excused, as the institution is in the hands of "us minors." On last Friday evening, during the absence of the proprietors, Messrs. Holcomb & Benbrook, an attempt was made to burn Pollard's saloon at Downey City. Some unknown person had saturated pine boards with coal oil, which were placed against the back of the house and fired. Fortunately the fire was discovered by Mesara Holcomb and Adams, and extinguished before any damage had been done.—Herald. A number of native Californians, who have been engaged recently in prospecting for coal in the vicinity of Cahuenga Pass, struck a lead of lignite on Saturday, which may develop into a true coal vein. It is said to be of the same character as the surface coal at Anaheim.—Star. Several sharp showers of rain fell during the early part of last night, and the indications at midnight were favorable for an all-night's rain. CHICAGO, January 24. —The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says: The Senate Judiciary Committee have reported favorably on Christianity's bill to carry into operation the recent decision of the Supreme Court affirming the constitutionality of the anti-polygamy law of 1862, and an attempt will be made to pass it this session. The bill is not materially changed from its original form, and provides that in any prosecution for polygamy where the defendant is a believer in any religious system or sect among whom marriages are not celebrated publicly, it shall not be necessary to obtain the evidence of any eyewitness to establish such marriage, but the evidence of habitual recognition by the defendant of his or her wife or husband, and mutual recognition of a child or children as their own, shall be deemed sufficient and competent evidence upon which a jury may find the fact of marriage. The bill allows the President to grant amnesty to those who have committed polygamy before December, 9, 1878, and provides that those who acknowledge a belief in the Mormon religion, or themselves practice polygamy, shall not be eligible to serve as jurymen in the trial of these cases. NEW YORK, San. 26. —Ida Lewis has been appointed Lime Rock lighthouse keeper, in this harbor, with a salary of $750, vice her mother, resigned. Secretary Sherman's letter says: This appointment is conferred upon you as a mark of my appreciation for your noble and heroic efforts in saving human lives. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 25th. —The joint assembly of the Legislature to-day elected J. D. Walker, of Washington county, United States Senator, by a vote of 68 against 47 for Robt. W.

According to Gregory Nanzianzen, Justin Wartyr, and Eustathius, Aristotle went off in precisely the same way, because he could not understand a more interesting riddle set by Nature, namely the cause of the ebbing and flowing of the Euripus.

Diosloros, ingenius inventor of the "horned" and "vesled" sophism, having met with his match in one Stilpo, who "caught" him with another sophism, which he was unable to solve, went home, wrote a book about it, and died of despair.—Temple Bar. NEW YORK, Jan. 23d. —Senator Windom's proposition, looking to assisting the colored population of the South to migrate to new homes in the West, is favorably received by the representative colored men. A delegation from six Southern States, calling on the Senator yesterday, including Senator Bruce and Representatives Cain, Small and Rainey, told him the colored people are not satisfied with their condition; that they would be willing to move; and that local clubs have already begun to agitate the question. The delegation thought that 100,000 able-bodied colored laborers could be induced to leave their homes if they could have even moderate assurance that they would improve their condition. Windom assured the delegation that he was thoroughly in earnest and had no political purpose to accomplish by his resolution. NEW YORK, Jan. 23d. —The Tribune says, reviewing its Washington dispatch: "Senator Windom's project for negro territory seems to be growing. A delegation of colored men, including Senator Bruce, ensures Windom that 100,000 able-bodied blacks would seek such a refuge. Such men are the ninets of the South, and their withdrawal could not fail to be a serious matter to that section." The area of land in Germany upon which the tobacco plant is cultivated exceeds 50,000 acres; Prussia, Bavaria, the Duchy of Baden, Alsace and Lorraine being the counties which grow the most; and the average yield is about 2,300 pounds to the acre. With this crop some 50,000 tons of leaf and 1,250 tons of prepared tobacco are imported yearly, the exports barely reaching four thousand tons. GAZETTE. AY 1, 1879. NO. 16 Raisins. According to telegraphic despatches from New York, a wine liquor circulates that one million, two hundred and forty-three thousand, two hundred and forty-one gallons of California wines had been received on the Atlantic Coast last year, and that during the last two years the American wine business has nearly doubled; while during the six years last past the sale of foreign still wines has decreased nearly two-thirds. The export of alcohol has been enormous, and the Fall trade has been large and profitable. To our wine-producers such a report ought, and doubtless will, be received with very great satisfaction. Those who have been producing California wines upon honor have had a hard struggle. They have had to contend in market against the vile concoctions made upon some of our vineyards, and called California wine, and against also, the still worse adulterations sold at the East as California productions. It would be difficult to find any drink more detestable than some of the poisons on sale in some of the Eastern cities, perhaps in most or all of them, under the name of California wines. In New York, a few years ago, a gentleman engaged in the business of selling wines and liquors informed us that over thirty establishments, pretending to sell California' wines, only three did sell the real article. All the others were frauds, who palmed off, as productions of our vineyards, the most wretched decoctions some of which did not possess one drop of real juice of California grapes. Mr. George T. Angell read a paper before the American A Warning to Girls who Chew Gum: Late last Saturday evening an incident occurred on Portland avenue that silly serve as a warning to hundreds of young persons who have entered upon a career of wax chawing. A girl named Lida Smith had been a chewer for nearly a year. She is about eleven years old, rather bright and intelligent, and chewed about the same difficulty of the material that was used by neighboring girls along the avenue. On Saturday evening she took her wax from her mouth, stuck it under the edge of the mantle until she could go to the kitchen to get a swallow of water, and on her return her parents were horrified to see her jaws moving rapidly. She was told to throw the wax from her month, and on investigation it was found that she was not chewing anything; still her jaws kept moving at a rapid rate. The parents sent for a physician, who came and attempted to hold the jaw in proper position, believing it to be only temporary, but he could not stop the regular movement. The child grew nervous, and the excitement only increased the action of her jaws. The physician put a tight bandage over her face, and this partially relieved the movement, but then the twitchings of the muscles extended all over the face. As a last resort a moderate dose of morphine was administered, and the little girl kept up incoherent mutterings, accompanied by a general disturbance of the muscles of the upper portion of the body, during the early portion of the night, and toward morning the little sufferer was restored to her normal condition. The physician says he never heard more detestable than some of the poisons on sale in some of the Eastern cities, perhaps in most or all of them, under the name of California wines. In New York, a few years ago, a gentleman engaged in the business of selling wines and liquors informed us that over thirty establishments, pretending to sell California wines, only three did sell the real article. All the others were frauds, who palmed off, as productions of our vineyards, the most wretched decoctions some of which did not possess one drop of real juice of California grapes. Mr. George T. Angell read a paper before the American Social Science Association, in Boston, on the 5th inst., in which, upon the subject of "Adulterations," he said, in regard to wines and liquors, that they were fearfully adulterated. He says that "a gentleman recently purchased from a prominent firm a case of pure sherry wine for his sick wife. His wife grew worse. He had the wine analyzed, and found there was not a drop of the juice of the grape in it." He said that "large quantities of our so-called European wines and liquors are manufactured here (Boston and other places), shipped to Europe, shipped, and sold here as the pure juice of the grape." He says further, that "a large portion of our California wines are made in Boston cellars." From such statements, accepting them as true, our manufacturers of pure California wines can measurably appreciate something of what they have to contend against. The statement is worse than the Alta's correspondent, Mr. Wetmore, represents the practice of adulterating and connecting wine in France for the American side of so-called California wines, was of the character of which Mr. Angell speaks as being merely adulterations, or, worse still, only manufactured poisons? And another inquiry is natural; what can be done to prevent the credit of our real California wines being destroyed by the sale of such vile imitations, adulterations and decoctions, as the wines of this State? France sends us enough vile stuff called wine, but our own people palm off as California wines, villainous liquids, which have not a particle of grape juice in them. Such frands perpetrated on the Atlantic side is what has acted so injuriously upon the credit of and market for California wines. No enactment by Congress could be too severe against such franks and those who commit them.—S. F. Alta. Cultivated Roses. Rose cultivation is in Southeastern France a considerable industry. The perfume manufacturers in the Department of the Alpes Marisimes consume annually 6000 pounds weight of roses, and the neighborhood of Grasse and Cannes is thickly studded with rose farms; 30,000 bushes are planted in one hectare (two and one half acres), and a good bush yields for about twelve years. During the Summer the field takes care of itself. In the Fall it is carefully manured, the manure consisting exclusively of offal from the perfume factories and other vegetable matter. Such a hectare planted with rose bushes and in good cultivation is worth 10,000 francs, and brings, in an average year, a profit of 24 per cent. The child grew nervous, and the excitement only increased the action of her jaws. The physician put a tight bandage over her face, and this partially relieved the movement, but then the twitchings of the muscles extended all over the face. As a last resort a moderate dose of morphine was administered, and the little girl kept up incolerent mutterings, accompanied by a general disturbance of the muscles of the upper portion of the body, during the early portion of the night, and toward morning the little sufferer was restored to her normal condition. The physician says he never heard of such a case before, and thinks it was brought about by a spasmotic action of the muscles of the face, caused by overaction. The little girl, after enduring a night of suffering; is now restored, but nothing in the world could induce her to again chew wax. St. Louis News. The English Post Office continues to be used as a means of transmitting articles of almost every variety front one part of the country to another. The following articles among others were observed during the year: A dormouse, four white mice; two goldfinches, a lizard, and a blind worm; all alive; eutlery, medicine, varnish; ointments, perfumery, articles of dress, a stout, a squirrel, fish, leeches; frogs; beetles; caterpillars; and vegetables. Many of these being prohibited articles were sent to the Returned Letter Office. A snake, about a yard in length, which had been committed to the post for transmission in a box, was observed to be at large on the floor of one of the night mail rooms; on the Lippen and of confusion and interruption to the work it was killed. A small box which reached the Returned Letter Office in Liverpool was found, on being opened, to contain eight living snakes. The agitation which has been set out foot in England against the remarriage of divorced persons in churches gives some interest to the figures which follow. From the last annual report of the Registrar-General it appears that during the sixteen years ending in 1876, there were 606 marriages of divorced men and women. Of these marriages 77.5 per cent. were between divorced men and spinsters or divorced women and widows or divorced women and widowers; while only 2 per cent. were between divorced men and divorced women. The number of these marriages appears to be rapidly increasing. During the 8 years ending in 1880 they numbered 225, while in the succeeding eight years ending in 1876, they had increased to 471. In the year 1870 the work of revising the New Testament was undertaken by a number of English and American scholars, and it is now intimated that the task has been completed, and that it will shortly be given to the world. A great deal of conjecture and speculation has been indulged in relative to the nature and extent of the changes which have been made in the text, and quite a panic has been caused among the orthodox by the report that the revisors have omitted the last twelve verses of Mark's gospel, as spurious. Martha Babcock, 14 years of age, and oldest daughter of Harvey Babcock, a resident of Sherwood Valley, Meadocino county, while ironing on the 4th instant, approached too near the stove, and her dread catching fire she was so severely injured that she died on the day following. Her brother, a boy of 18 months old from college A Cincinnati electrician has been giving to a reporter this opinion of Edison: "He is a vastly over-rated man, and the newspaper men of New York in search of sensations are in the main responsible for it. No inventor ever took out so many patents, of which so few were any better than worthless. He has taken out about 300, and only about 12 of them are practical and useful and profitable. He is a hard worker, and his success of late is owing, in a great measure, to the conditions under which he labors. He is at the head of an institution organized for the creation of inventions, so to speak. The laboratory at Menlo Park is an invention factory, and by receiving promptly from all over the world the latest and freest results of the labors of scientists and inventors, combining and applying the same, and experimenting. Edison, assisted as he is by such genius as Batchelor, and others, is enabled to utilize the brains of all the inventors of the age, and produce results ahead of what any single person could do. He has been furnished by the New York Edison Electric Light Company with $100,000, with which to prosecute his experiments. He has used, I think, about $76,000 of this money, up to date, and has developed nothing but promises, and none of them will be fulfilled. You can put it down that no great electric light revolution is to come from Menlo Park for fifty years, at the present rate of progress in the matter there. What is done then will depend, in a great measure, upon what is the result of all the investigation and experimenting going on all over the world, all of which is promptly reported to Edison." The St. Helena Star has the following: We are creditably informed that a gentleman whose ranch extends into a canyon on the west side of Napa valley, four miles south of St. Helena, put up fifteen tons of ice on the last day of December. Had he commenced a day earlier, or had the rain held off a day, he might have secured fifty tons. This is probably the first ice crop of Napa valley. Martha Babcock, 14 years of age, and oldest daughter of Harvey Babcock, a resident of Sherwood Valley, Menloocounty, while ironing on the 4th instant, approached too near the stove, and her dawn catching fire she was so severely injured that she died on the day following. Her brother, a boy of about 11 years of age, in endeavoring to aid his sister, burned his hands so severely as to cripple him for life. A ruralist reated himself at an Indiana polis restaurant table, and began upon its bill of fare. After keeping three waiters nearly an hour employed in bringing dishes to him, he called one of them to him, heaved a sigh, and whispered as he spread the bill of fare before him, and pointed with his fingers: "Mister, I've got to thar, and," moving his fingers down the page "if it did again the rule I'd like to skip from thar to thar." St. Louis has a free lodging house, where from 300 to 600 persons, mostly tramps, sleep every night. A new rule is that every lodger must be vaccinated, and on the first night of its enforcement the physicians operated on nearly 400 arms. Many objected, but the alternative was a night in the streets, and as the weather was bitterly cold, none chose it. A dispatch was received yesterday by Col. John G. Capron from Gov. R.C.
