Wartenberg was fined $27,50. A Conflict Between Science and Fact. The averments of scientists to the contrary notwithstanding, there are few fruit-growers who don't believe that bees injure fruit. When a man goes into his orchard and sees half a dozen bees with their business ends inserted into a ripe, juicy peach, not all the beautiful theories constructed by native or foreign scientists can convince him that they are not there for mischief, or that when they leave the peach they will not carry with them some of its sweets. When a vineyardist walks through his fields and sees great gaping wounds in his grapes, and a lot of bees buzzing around in suspicious proximity, he apt to draw conclusions unfavorable to the bees and unfavorable to their scientific defenders. When you emerge from your house on a dark night, in time to see a man make a hasty exit from your chicken house, and find on taking a census of your fowls in the morning that some of them are missing, it is safe to infer that the man of whom you caught a glimpse the preceding night was the marauder. When you see a bee light upon a nice fat grape, and see him leave it in half an hour a mere empty skin, with all the "innards" gone, it is safe to infer that the bee got away with the works. This is not the first time that science and fact have conflicted. The question as to whether wheat turns into cheat has been for an age a fruitful subject for discussion, and the disputants are as far from agreeing today as they were fifty years ago. Scientific gentlemen and college professors have written elaborate essays to prove that it is no possible for wheat to turn into cheat than it is for a mule to become the father of a circus horse. But nine of every ten farmers do not agree with the learned gentlemen, and when they sow wheat and reap cheat they are not to be blamed for having a contempt for "book-farmers." Since writing the above we have had an opportunity of seeing a lot of bees at work upon a peach. Mr. Leonard Parker brought in a large peach enclosed in a glass tumbler, with a dozen or more bees devouring it. He says that his crop of peaches has been almost entirely destroyed by them, and that unless the bees are got rid of before the grapes get Savannah Memoirs REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF It is generally believed and there is a calm after a storm, norhood has been enjoying quite recently; and now one w Satan or some one else had been for a little season. As the off-gin to visit us, the old politician to take sides again in somewhat manner. And I must admit both Democratic and Republican that we had a treat in the last Friday night in Los Angles publican Club of El Monte, about 35 members, fitted up with four horses to it, and one speaking was filled with votes safely in town in due time to speakers—Geo. C. Perkins, checo and G. A. Knight, crowded full of listeners in five mopolitan Hotel. Everything quietly than any political magnitude I ever attended speaking was to the point, the common slang used at generally. I believe Mr. Knights we read about of old made a telling speech. He Francisco Chronicle several times certainly deserves. Our after the speaking, and I assure were duly sober. The El M Club are going to get up a fine use in the present campaign elected a delegate to the Bex Convention. The wheat and barley threshed in this neighborhood out rather poorly in quantitie of straw run through the mills. I was informed to-day that reduced the wages of the threshing machine 25 cents; the hands took up their blades. Mr. Craig, one of our new large frame house, also elor, it is a sure sign he will the price of dry goods keep many can afford to marry cost as a few years ago. Several families from here and otherwise enjoying this Santa Monica, camped for Some people think it is best about once a year, but I take cold by being so reckless for Congress, to know that ex-Congressman Wigginton has given it as his opinion that Mr. Leach will be elected without a doubt. —Sam A. Purcell has taken editorial charge of the Santa Ana Times. Frank Coller, the proprietor, has gone to Los Angeles to start a campaign daily in the interests of the N. C. Party. —The result of a dispute between L. Wartenberg and a Chinaman was that the Chinaman got thrashed. The result of a trial by jury in Justice Bailey's court on Thursday was that L. Wartenberg was fined $27,50. —The game law, as applied to this county and San Bernardino, expires on the 1st of August, and already the fowling pieces are being brought out and burnished up for the work of slaughter. It is said that quail are very numerous and already fully grown. —The item in Wednesday's paper in regard to the suit of Mr. James Irvine against the Pacific Coast Steamship Company was not strictly correct. The suit is not brought to regain possession of Newport harbor, but to settle a dispute in regard to the ownership of some land contiguous thereto. —The Congregationalists will hold their social in the Westminster church on Tuesday evening, July 29th. There will be some very interesting readings and recitations and songs by characters in costume. The admission and entertainment will be free. There will be refreshments for sale. —The fruit-growers of Los Angeles having threatened to poison the bees which are alleged to be damaging the fruit, a correspondent warns them of the danger of such a preceding. The honey stored by the bees which had partaken of the poisoned fruit, would be fatal to the consumers. —From Mr. John McFadden of Santa Ana we learn that the steamer Newport has been temporarily withdrawn in order to fit her up as a passenger steamer. She will have accommodations for about ten passengers, and in about two weeks will resume regular trips between Newport harbor and San Francisco. —The delegates from this Supervisorial District to the Democratic County Convention will nominate a candidate for Supervisor. Among those whom we hear spoken of as possible candidates for the nomination are James D. Ott, the present incumbent, and Justice Alexander Bailey. —Mr. James Irvine, of the San Joaquin Rancho, was in town on Thursday. The sheep on the Rancho are in good condition, the only annoyance now being the destructiveness of the coyotes. These pests are exceedingly plentiful this year, not only on the San Joaquin, but on other ranches further south. They are bold and aggressive, and it is not an uncommon thing for one to dash into a band of lambs and kill one before the eyes of the herder. Mr. Irvine says that the loss of lambs from this source is considerable. —a correspondent of the Herald says WEDNESDAY, July 23.

Orange precinct begins on the west line of Santa Ana township, at the standard line between T. 4 S. and 5 S.; thence on said west line of township to NW corner of the T. D.

Whitmore against Jasper Asbill and about 400 defendants, an action in ejectment against the settlers on the Rancho Los Bolsas, and $50,000 damages, was called for trial in the United States Circuit Court, San Francisco, on Tuesday, but was continued to give an opportunity to amend the pleadings. There is one singular aspect of this case. Since the filing of the complaint a year ago last May, three attorneys connected with it have died just as the case was about ready for trial.

He says that his crop of peaches has been almost entirely destroyed by them, and that unless the bees are got rid of before the grapes get ripe, they will ruin that crop also. Mr. Fred Hartung is another sufferer. The bees are so thick in his orchard that it is difficult for him to approach his peach trees, and he can only do so at the risk of being stung. These are only sample cases; every fruit grower is being more or less injured. It is proposed to call a meeting within a day or two and counsel together as to the best plan to stop the work of destruction. Board of Supervisors. WEDNESDAY, July 23.

Thermome The following is outWednesday P.M., July night preceding date,a Mr. James Irvine, of the can Joseph Rancho, was in town on Thursday. The sheep on the Ranche are in good condition, the only annoyance now being the destructiveness of the coyotes. These pests are exceedingly plentiful this year, not only on the San Joquin, but on other ranchos further south. They are bold and aggressive, and it is not an uncommon thing for one to dash into a band of lambs and kill one before the eyes of the herder. Mr. Irvine says that the loss of lambs from this source is considerable. A correspondent of the Herald says that a bear weighing 1200 pounds was killed last Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock by Col. Havel, manager for Mr. Osterman, who has a bee ranch in Cucamonga Canyon. The bear had made and havoc among the bee stands last Sunday night, destroying twelve stands. Mr. Havel, accompanied by Artemus Rauch, H. Otto, an Indian and two dogs, one owned by Prof. Von Ploennies, of this city, laid in wait for bruin, and Mr. Havel's Winchester brought him down. When dressed the grizzly weighed 1200 pounds. Master Oscar R. Leudke has been trying his "prention hand" in getting up a clock, and has succeeded remarkably well. Taking some old movements found in his uncle's house, he put a handsome case around them and added an amusing automatic arrangement, which he designated as "The Happy Family." On one end of a bench sits a boy, hammer in hand, and as the clock strikes the quarter hour, he drives some nails into his father's "plug hat." As the clock strikes the full hours, the old man, sitting at the other end of the bench, administers a correction to a young orchid whom he has laid over his knee in the old fashioned way. The whole piece is ingenious and creditable to the young workman.

It is generally believed and admitted that there is a calm after a storm, so this neighborhood has been enjoying quite a serene and pleasant time since the State election until quite recently; and now one would think that Satan or some one else had been turned loose for a little season. As the office secretary begins to visit us, the old political parties begin to take sides again in somewhat of a hostile manner. And I must admit, as I attend both Democratic and Republican meetings, that we had a treat in the way of speeches last Friday night in Los Angeles. The Republican Club of El Monte, which numbers about 35 members, fitted up a large wagon with four horses to it, and on the evening of speaking was filled with voters, and arrived safely in town in due time to hear all the speakers—Geo. C. Perkins, Romualdo Pacheco and G. A. Knight. The street was crowded full of listeners in front of the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Everything passed off more quietly than any political meeting of the magnitude I ever attended, and all the speaking was to the point, without any of the common slang used at such meetings generally. I believe Mr. Knight is one of Knights we read about of old, as he certainly made a telling speech. He gave the San Francisco Chronicle several good hits, which it certainly deserves. Our crowd returned after the speaking, and I assure you all of us were duly sober. The El Monte Republican Club are going to get up a fine large flag for use in the present campaign. Mr. Snyder was elected a delegate to the Republican County Convention. The wheat and barley crops now being threshed in this neighborhood are turning out rather poorly in quantity, to the amount of straw run through the machines. I was informed to-day that Mr. Baldwin reduced the wages of the men running his threshing machine 25 cents on the dollar, and the hands took up their blankets and walked. Mr. Craig, one of our neighbors, is building a large frame house, and as he is a bachelor, it is a sure sign he will marry soon. If the price of dry goods keeps so low, a great many can afford to marry without so much cost as a few years ago. Go in, bachelors! Several families from here are playing fish and otherwise enjoying themselves down at Santa Monica, camped for the heated term. Some people think it is healthy to wash clean about once a year, but I would be afraid of taking cold by being so reckless. J. H. B. The Wilmington Breakwater.

Every motion of the THE NEW WILSON Oscillating Shuttle SEWING MACHINE Is wonderful in its conception, unprecedented for doing a large range of sewing in textile fabrics and leather. Its motions are continuous, admitting of an extraordinary rate of speed, either by steam or foot power. Every motion of the treadle makes six stitches, thus producing about one-third more work in a day than other Sewing Machines. It has no stop motions, and tightens the stitch with the needle out of the fabric. It uses the well-known Wilson Compound Feed on both sides of the needle. It has two-thirds less parts than any other first-class Sewing Machine. Its arm is fully eight and one-half inches long and five and one-half inches high, and the whole Machine is very compactly and scientifically constructed in proportions, elegance, design and appearance. Its simple, powerful and perfect mechanism places it as far in advance of all other Sewing Machines as the telephone is superior to the tin speaking tube. The WILSON MENDING ATTACHMENT, for repairing all kinds of textile fabrics WITHOUT PATCHING, furnished FREE with all WILSON SEWING MACHINES, together with a Tucker, Ruffler, Corder, Set of Hammers, Binder, etc. Prices furnished with freight charges prepaid, and machines furnished on trial to responsible parties, to be used with steam-power, in places where we have no agents.
