Send for delivery. —At a meeting of the Trustees of the South Santa Monica Wharf Company yesterday afternoon. Mr. A. H. Denker was elected Treasurer, and Mr. J. W. Scott, of Santa Monica, Secretary. The President and Secretary were ordered to sign a contract with Lothian & Co. for piles and lumber for the construction of the wharf. The directory then adjourned to meet next Saturday. Subsequent to the meeting, the lumber contract was signed and delivered. It is stipulated that the lumber is to be on the ground within sixty days, and the work of construction will then be commenced without delay. —Express. —In conversation with Mr. Charles Hilmer the other day we learned that the sheep in this part of the county are fat, as a general thing. He also thinks that there will be sufficient feed for the stock already here, an opinion which is shared by Mr. J. K. Tuf-free, who is in charge of the pasture lands of the Stearns' Ranchos. Mr. Hilmer says that the wool clip has been very heavy this year. The wool market is looking up, wool being about four cents more per pound now than it was three weeks ago. This is contrary to all precedent. Heretofore those who got their wool to market early in the season, invariably get a better price than those whose product came in late. —For the past four days the weather has been hot—very. The mercury in the thermometer has been away up in the second story, and has even been trying to get out through the trapdoor on to the roof. At the depot on Sunday, in quite a shady place, the thermometer marked 112°; Monday, 110°, and yesterday, 108°. At Mr. Kramner's ranch on Monday it was 110° in the shade, and 125° in the sun. The cool gusts of wind which came sweeping up from the ocean yesterday afternoon gave promise of a turn in the weather, and it is probable that the back-bone of this terribil visitation is broken. And time it was, too; for the corn, which the cold weather has prevented from growing vigorously, was being cooked by the blazing sun. The vineyards have not suffered any. Two years ago a similar hot spell was experienced, accompanied by warm winds which did great damage to the grape crop. We should be thankful for having escaped that calamity this year. —At any war of lighting in the horrible Angeles on Sun fire in the kitchen morning of that she poured oil she was laying her dress caught house, and a about her and however, until She lingered in Sunday morning deceased had her maiden name fore dying abate place un Department, that body, anlection of the accorded her is the fourth Los Angeles in use of coal oil. —There was the Secretary tion of the Law店 Los Angeles stock.

[From the Los Angeles Express.] Editor Express: I observe in your issue of the 29th ult. an article copied from the Anaheim Gazette on the "Starving Case," in which Doctor Schlesinger is very roughly handled by the editor of that paper, and knowing that you are ever willing to accord fair play to both sides, I beg to offer a few remarks on the article in question. The editor of the Gazette writes in a very vindictive vein notwithstanding he averns that he has "kindly feelings for the other members of the Society." He acknowledges that it was from "hearsay" that he published the article which caused our District Attorney to prosecute the members of the "Societa Fraternia," yet after the matter was fully ventilated before the proper authorities the prosecution failed—the jury disagreed and the good sense of our worthy District Attorney expunged the case from his calendar. Now cannot the editor of the Gazette gracefully accept the situation? Why does he continue to squirm? Why does the dogmatic editor presume or suppose that if the jury had been asked "Has the child been properly fed?" they would have said no? Now that the prosecution has failed, the Gazette manifests the malignant animus of a desire to persecute these people, and travels out of its way to assault the private character of all the members of the Society whose religion forbids them resenting the aspersion on their character. According to the method of ratiocination adopted by this gazetter, any person or sect who entertain religions or secular views, widely different from his own, and who live strictly up to their convictions, are fanatics. Thus all great minds that have risen superior to their surroundings and contemned the popular ignorance have all been fanatics until they have proselytized enough followers to obtain them numerical respectability. Even if the views of the members of "So- A Destructive Cyclone. Archison, Kan., May 31.—A terrible storm of wind and rain pummed over Northern Kansas and Southern Nebraska last evening. It extended through nearly the whole northern tier of counties of this State, but was most violent at Bliss Rapids and Centennial Station, on the Central Branch Railroad, about 30 miles apart. The storm moved in "a direction little north of east, and passed into Nebraska through Richardson county. The town of Irving, 60 miles west of this place, was nearly destroyed. At that point the storm took on the character of a cyclone, and leveled everything in its path. About 40 buildings were destroyed, 15 persons killed, and 30 to 40 wounded. In the neighborhood of Frankfort, four or five farm-houses were blown over, and in the town several houses were destroyed. There are no casualties at this place, but several persons in the country were severely injured. At Centralia several houses were unroofed and one house and barn blown down, trees uprooted, fences laid flat, and great damage done to crops. At Beatty, on the St. Joe and Denver Railroad, a number of houses were blown down. At Denison Mills, Neb., on the Atchison and Nebraska Road, the Catholic Church was totally destroyed, as was also the store of Mead, Kiley & Co. One lady was severely injured. Several residences were more or less damaged. MANHATTAN, Kansas. May 31.—A cyclone crossed Big Blue River, at the mouth of Mill Creek, last night, and uprooted trees and destroyed grain-cribs, fences and crops. A Blunder and Its Reward. During his first visit to Paris M. Lassalle, a distinguished German, presented himself at the house of a well-known lady, to whom he had sent letters of introduction in advance. When the servant opened the door and received his card, she conducted him to the bandeirie and told him to be seated, saying: "Madame will come immediately." Presently the lady entered. She was endishable and her feet were bare, covered only with home slippers. She bowed to him carelessly and said: "'Ah, there you are; good morning." She threw herself on a sofa, let fall a slipper, and reached out to Lassalle her very pretty foot. Lassalle was naturally completely astounded, but he remembered that at his home in Germany it was the custom sometimes to kiss a lady's hand, and he supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss her foot. Therefore he did not hesitate to imprint a kiss upon her fascinating foot, so near him, but he could not avoid saying: "I thank you, madame, for this new method of making a lady's acquaintance. It is much better and certainly more generous than kissing the hand." The lady jumped up, highly indignant: "Who are you, air, and what do you mean?" He gave his hame. "You are not, then, a corn doctor?" "I am charmed to say, madame, that I am not." But you sent me the corn-doctor's card." It was true. Lassalle in going out that morning had picked up the card of a corn borer from his burrow and put it in his notebook.

The prosecution has failed, the GAZETTE manifests the malignant animus of a desire to persecute these people, and travels out of its way to assault the private character of all the members of the Society whose religion forbids them resenting the asperation on their character. According to the method of ratiocina-tion adopted by this gazetter, any person or sect who entertain religions or secular views, widely different from his own, and who live strictly up to their convictions, are fanatics. Thus all great minds that have risen superior to their surroundings and contemned the popular ignorance have all been fanatics until they have proselyted enough followers to obtain them numerical respectability. Even if the views of the members of "Societas Fraternia" do not meet popular endorsement, yet they cannot fail to command respect. Here is a sect of people whose abnegation is without a parallel in the history of the world. According to the GAZETTE they abandoned a lucrative business and invested all their means for the furtherance of a single object, and had to make a pilgrimage of many thousand miles to reach the favored spot. They have subdued every physical appetite; they eat no meat; they drink nothing except water; they do not allow the sanctuary of their dwellingsto be desecrated by strangers smoking tobacco; they live on fruits and vegetables exclusively, and then only such as can be eaten in their natural state. But why do these people live as they do? The editor himself states that it is to obtain a clean, pure body, and for the up-building of that spiritual essence, the soul; and he acknowledges that he himself witnessed some of the results obtained, and received a difficult test of spirit presence and power which satisfied him that these people had direct communication with the spirit world. Do not the means justify the end? Mr. and Mrs. Hinde are not indulging in any untried experiment, and if under the present regimen their children do not attain to the proportions of a Berkshire roaster, he need not worry. That Mr. and Mrs. Hinde have thus far lost not any of the members of their family is more than most carnivorous families can boast of, and is sufficient proof that there is no such danger as the pseudo-humanitarian of the GAZETTE predicts, and let him also know that it he continues wan-ly and grossly to assail the character of innocent and well-meaning people, that outside of their own creed and sect they may find friends to defend their cause. Thanking you for a space in your valuable paper, I am, dear sir, one who wishes FAIR PLAY. We give place to the above defense of the Societas Fraternia, although, upon second reading, we discover that it is less a defense of the Society than an attack upon the editor of this paper. It is very evident that "Fair Play" is either a proselyte to Schlesinger's "new truth," or that he is in a fair way to become a convert. And believing that no man possessed of the least grain of common sense would give in his adhesion to this travesty upon religion, morals, decency and honesty, we think it best to dismiss the subject without attempting to controvert the statements made in the above communication. We shall certainly not wantonly assail the Society, nor, in fact, ever refer to them at all, unless it becomes necessary to do so. The entire Society is not worth the ink which has been wasted in writing of them. But if "Fair Play" desires to champion the cause of one who is popularly known here as being four-fifths lunatic and one-fifth rascal, and one house and barn blown down, trees uprooted, fences laid flat, and damage done to crops. At Beatty, on the St. Joe and Denver Railroad, a number of houses were blown down. At Denison Mills, Neb., on the Atchison and Nebraska Road, Catholic Church was totally destroyed, as was also the store of Mead, Kiley & Co. One lady was severely injured. Several residences were more or less damaged. MANHATTAN, Kansas May 31.—A cyclone crossed Big Blue River, at the mouth of Mill Creek, last night, and uprooted trees and destroyed grain-cribs, fences and crops. The two-story storehouse of M. Caudray was unroofed and crushed. Fifteen persons were in it at the time. Mr. Caudray was somewhat injured, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Tattlecock, and a child were killed. On Fancy Creek, 17 miles north of Candray's, the Methodist Church was entirely demolished, buildings were torn down, cattle and horses killed,and other property destroyed, but no lives were lost. INDEPENDENCE, Mo., May 31.—A cyclone struck the earth four miles from Lee's Summit last evening, and tore a furrow through the country about a hundred yards wide and ten miles long, levelling everything in its track, and killing and wounding several people. The direction of the storm was from southwest to northeast. Three miles east of Lee's Summit the house of Mr. Warren was totally destroyed. Two members of the family were killed and others severely wounded. At Irving 12 persons were killed outright and 49 wounded, most of the latter severally, and many of them will die. A committee of citizens and physicians from this city arrived there this afternoon,and medical supplies and clothing have been forwarded from here to provide for the immediate necessities of the sufferers. A special dispatch from Concordia states that the storm was extremely violent in the vicinity of Delphos, Ottawa county. Fifteen dead bodies were brought in from two square miles of territory. One man from Belsit was taken up in his wagon and thrown to the ground and instantly killed. A woman and child were thrown against a wire fence and killed. Five persons were killed in one house near Delphos. The crops have been severely injured along the line of the storm. Reports from Scandia, Republic county.state that the storm was very severe in that section,但 no casualties are yet reported. KANSAS CITY, May 31.—A despatch about the cyclone which devastated the eastern part of Jackson county,Mo.,last night referring to the destruction of the house of Mr. Harris,near Blue Spring,a account of which was reported from Independence,says:Mr.Harris,his wife and children were carried up into the air,intout of sight,and dropped in different places and directions from the site of the house they occupied,and varying in distance from 100 to 200 yards.Mrs.Harris and one child were killed outright.Mr.Harris died several hours after. One of the other children was found in a pool of water 50 yards from the house,以a large bunch of wet straw and grass wrap her fascinating look,so near him,because could not avoid saying,"I thank you,madame,对 this new method of making a lady's acquaintance. It is much better and certainly more generous than kissing the hand." The lady jumped up,高ly indignanta-"Who are you，air,and what do you mean?"He gave his hame. "You are not，then，a corn doctor?" "I am charmed to say,madame，that I am not." "But you sent me the corn-doctor's card." It was true.Lassalle in going out that morning had picked up the card of a corn doctor from his bureau and put it in his pocket. This without glancing at he had given to the servant，who had taken it to her mistress." There was nothing to do but laugh over the joke. Board of Supervisors. MONDAY，June 2，1879.

Joseph Hopley of Sacramento has received from Mr.Davis of Brighton a potato vine in which the "spuda" had violated the law of nature and grown on the branches of the vine above the ground，similar to fruit on a tree，instead of in the ground.The potatoes are small，但they are all perfectly formed.Says the Grass Valley Union: The grape crop in this vicinity will be a failure this season，unless the second growth should come to maturity，as the first crop has almost entirely killed by frost.

ISLAND POND, Vermont, May 30.—There have been nine deaths so far of the children who drank from a poisoned brook. Edward Morse lost two, John Aldrich three, Fred Simpson one, L. Wilson one, Mr. Park one, John Cole one. The others cannot live. Potato tops, poisoned by Paris green, thrown into the brook, is regarded as the cause of poisoning, rather than the carcasses of dead animals. Terrible distress prevails, and all work is suspended. Twenty-seven children were poisoned by drinking from the brook. The farmer who allowed the carcasses to be thrown in will be arrested. The bodies of the children soon decompose and are quickly buried. LATER.—Two more children of John Aldrich have died from drinking from the poisoned brook, making five—his entire family. Mrs. Aldrich has become insane. Ottumwa, Iowa, June 2d.—Gen. James Shielda, late U. S. Senator from Missouri, died suddenly in this city at 10:30 last evening.

A creature of this description was taken four or five years ago; it was called by the natives "fugu ningio." The one in question is about one "shaku" and two "sun" long. The head is like that of a slman, the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth being well proportioned. The forehead is capped with hair, and the teeth are like those of a rat. An attempt was made to preserve it in spirits, but it began to decay, and has therefore been dried. The Anaheim Gazette of last week says: "It is a curious fact that, while San Francisco is overstocked with cherries so that the canners dictate prices even for the choice, our young trees here are just going out of blossom, and a few half-grown cherries can be found. Apricots ripen in the upper interior counties some weeks before they do here. We have neither their cold nor their heat." Although the deduction is true as a general thing, there is a mistake about the price of cherries in this market thus far. During the time to which the Gazette refers, the "choicest" cherries were so quickly taken, that the retail price day after day was 30 to 35 cents per pound. They have not yet been within the reach of the canaries at all. The fact is that this market is never overstocked with fine cherries, although the price may of course be lower when the canaries other than early Solano sand in their fruit. —The regular meeting of the Literary Society was held in the Presbyterian Church last Friday evening. Before recess the time was occupied with literary exercises. After recess the society proceeded to make nominations for officers. After the votes were counted, those receiving the highest number of votes were declared elected, as follows: E. A. Saxton, President; Miss Ella Mitchell, Vice-President; Id. Pullegrin, Son's; Mrs. Beams, Treasurer; Rev. E. Halliday, Editor. The officers then enter upon their duties at the next meeting. The order of nominations for the next meeting will be varied and interesting. GAZETTE. NO. 34. THE POCASSET TRAGEDY. Letter from Mrs. Freeman to Mr. Histare-in-Law. (From the Boston Herald, May 17th) The following letter was received recently from Mrs. Charles P. Freeman by his sister-in-law in Notick, where Freeman formerly lived: BARNITABLE, Mass., May 10, 1879. Dear Sisters:—We have received your letters. I had looked for one for a long time. I never thought it would find us here. Am glad to know you are all well. We are in need of nothing, but we thank you for your kind thoughts for our comfort. I have no doubt you suffer for us. I cannot tell you how it all came to be. You know how dearly we both loved our precious little one. We have tried for more than a year to live entirely devoted to God, and to the good of others. We had given up drums, the desire for money, and everything that was not pure in purpose. You would hardly have believed it was Charlie. He never was profane, had not drunk since I knew him, and was one of the best of husbands and fathers; but now he commenced a life of prayer and faith in God, and I with him. He read his bible every spare moment, and his whole life was spent in Christian earnest work for good, and his whole aim (not neglecting other duties) was to win souls to Christ, and seek himself eternal life. One trial of our faith came after another, and God blessed us very much the more we trusted Him. By and by there came a week and more of great and new trials. Charlie did not sleep nor eat, scarcely, for nearly two weeks. During this time of painful trial, he felt that God required him to have the faith of Abraham. You know what that was in regard to Isaac. He could not get away from it; the more he tried the more Making Lumber from Birch. A gentleman of Bannell, Illinois, recently exhibited some examples of lumber that have attracted much attention among the lumbermen, and which, if it punshes all the titles that are claimed for it, is one of the most important inventions of its kind ever brought to notice. If it is a smooth It will form a new era in the art of smiling. To make handwood lumber out of common wheat straw, with all effects of polish and finish which is obtainable on the hardest of black walnut and mahogany, as as little wood as clear pine lumber can be made up for, is certainly wonderful. Such are the claims of the inventor for the straw-board lumber which he has been exhibiting in this day, and the samples which he produces would go far toward verifying his claims. The process of manufacture is as follows: He takes ordinary straw board, such as is usually manufactured at any paper mill used for the purpose. As many sheets dry taken as are required to make the thickness of the lumber required. These sheets are passed through a chemical solution, which thoroughly softens up the fibre, and completely saturates it. The whole is then pressed through a succession of rollers, dried and hardened during the passage, as well as polished, and then comes out at the other end of the machine hard, dry lumber, ready for use. The inventor claims that the chemical properties hardening in the fibre entirely prevents water-soaking, and renders the lumber combustible only in a very hot fire. The hardened finish on the outside also renders it impervious to water. The samples Supervisors, SUNDAY, June 2, 1879. John Shelton, Constable for reptented, and J. H. Malone evocancy.

By and by there came a week and more of great and new trials. Charlie did not sleep nor eat, scarcely, for nearly two weeks. During this time of painful trial, he felt that God required him to have the faith of Abraham. You know what that was in regard to Isaac. He could not get away from it; the more he tried the more it came home to him. At last he said to the Lord he would be willing to bear the test; he thought that would be all God would ask. That seemed to end it for the day. That night it came to him more powerfully; he could not help it. Oh, God alone knows how I suffered! But having such great faith in God to believe he would stop him just as he did Abraham—that it was only a trial of faith—knowing as I did Charlie's life and love, his fear to disobey God, and that he had Abraham's faith, I could not hinder him. But neither of us thought God would suffer her to be touched, any more than that the day would fail to come. We thought God would see our faith, and give us some token of acceptance. We believed God would thunder from Sinai before any harm should corse to our darling; but when I found my precious Edie gone, O, father, how I felt! But comfort seemed to come again. Abraham believed God would raise Isaac, and so we felt it was God's plan to take her, so as to raise her from the dead, and thus show his mighty power and love. We did believe He would do this, in order to show the world that the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob still lives, and so wake up the frozen Church of God to its duties—the Church so married to the world that there is scarcely any difference between the two. We believed this was to be, and that Edie would yet go with Charlie to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom. What a power she would be! What glory to his cause! Elijah, Elisha, Christ and the apostles raised the dead, and why should not God do it now as then? We believed he would. But the time has so far passed and we are here. God knows we are innocent of any crime. Charlie still thinks God is going to manifest His power and glory, and himself be justified in the eyes of the world. God grant it may be so. Oh, you cannot amw my sorrow! It almost breaks my heart! My dear, dear Edie! Charlie is innocent, oh, he is, of any crime; but I am afraid it was a mistaken faith in God. Dear Lord, help us in our need. HATTIE. Important Ruling. WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Secretary of the Interior has made a comprehensive ruling in the California case of the Rancho Corde Malera, which is of general application and of very great importance. He holds that, under the act of July 1, 1874, but one publication of a survey is authorized, and that all persons failing to appear and file objections to the survey requested by law after such publication can only be considered as protestants, and are not entitled to appeal from the Commissioner's decision. Secretary Schurtz also decides that no parties are entitled to present objections, even within the statuary period of publication, and thus become entitled to consideration as "parties in interest," unless they are claimants under the grant or under an adjoining grant.

The effect of this decision will be to break up the practice of interposing claims based on script selections, and various other pretences, by which the final settlement of many Spanish titles in California has been delayed indefinitely from year to year by an unending succession of new objections to confirmation of surveys. The case in hand has been pending on the question of surveys alone for nearly twenty years. New York, May 29.—The Herald prints a characteristic letter from Denis Kearney to a citizen here, which closes: "The Workingmen's party of California will elect a full State ticket next September, besides four Congressmen and the Legislature that chooses a United States Senator to succeed Booth. It will also place their party in the field for the Presidential campaign for next year, and California will cast its electoral vote for the third party. This will throw the election of President into the House of Representatives, and California will nominate her man. I would like to see John Swinton occupying the White House." Washington, May 30.—An expedition by the American Colonization Society will leave New York June 14th, when the hark Monrovia will sail direct for Liberia. The Society has application from 500,000 persons for passage and homes in the Liberian Republic, thus showing that there is some deep-seated cause impelling the colored people to seek a change of residence. The number of emigrants sent will depend upon the amount contributed. The chief difficulty of the Society is to restrain those who are not likely to succeed and be useful, and to obtain the means for settling others. A secret society of malefactors called Frutuzzi has recently been broken up at Palermo. It was duly organized under one chief, with subdivisions of labor, a counsel of directors, and its own physician, a natrya, confidencers and apothecary. An oath bound members to mutual defense and succor, and all infringements of the rules were punishable with death. The rites of admission were horrible. The finger of the candidate was punctured, and with the blood issuing from the wound the image of some maint was sprinkled, and the image was then burned and the ashes scattered to the winds. The neophyte was afterward conducted to a hall where was placed a crucifix. The candidate was placed opposite. A pistol was put in his hand and he was required to shoot at the crucifix. It is supposed that the man who shoots at the image of the crucifix Redeemer will have no scruple in killing his father, son or brother at the will of the society, and after this proof of his courage the candidate is dubbed Frutuzzi, and made a full member of the craft. Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-three persons were killed during the past year in the Northwest Provinces of India and Oude by wild beasts and snakes, and of these, 3,871 owed their death to make biten. No less than 10,516 head of cattle were also destroyed, mostly by leopards, in the most grating plains of the Terai. Reywards to the extent of 10,000 reponses were paid by the government for the destruction of 8,990 animals. The reward which used to be paid by government for the destruction of smokers has been discontinued for some years now, but the mortality from this source is so alarming that the government of the Northwest Provinces has addressed all district officers, urging upon them the necessity of inducing the landowners to act for themselves against this danger, the remedy for which is entirely in their own hands. Just as the Los Angeles oranges were disappearing from the market, the Tahill contends made their appearance. There never has been a year when California oranges came so near being adrag at this year. There some times when they were cheaper than apples and wagon loads were handed all over the city and through all the outlying towns. The home-grown oranges will hold the field against all importations. — Bulletin.
