Agricultural and Horticultural Items. We are in receipt of the programme of the Citrus Exhibition to be held at Riverside on the 24th and 25th inst., mention of which was made last week. We find that the premiums offered are quite liberal, and the Committees of Award on the various exhibits have evidently been chosen with great care. Mr. Olden is one of the committee on "Best display of Citrus Fruits grown by one exhibitor in the county of San Bernardino," for which a premium of $15 is offered. Mr. R. H. Gilman is on the committee on "Best and second best Seedling Orange," for which premiums of $10 and $5 are offered respectively. Dr. Beach of Orange is on the committee on Lemona, for which premiums of $10 and $5 are offered. Richard Melrose is Chairman of the committee on raisins, figs and preserved citron. Mr. Strong of Westminster is on the same committee. The premiums in this class are: Best box of raisins, $5; second best do., $3; best box of figs, $3; best specimen of preserved citron, $3. D.C. Hayward of Orange is on the committee on olives and olive oil, for which premiums of $5 and $3 are offered. We hope the fruit growers of this section will not only send exhibits of fruit but also attend the Fair, as much valuable information can be gained at such gatherings. One thing that may perhaps militate against a large attendance from this place is the bad and dangerous condition of the road. If one travels the narrow and crooked but shortest path to Riverside, he does so at considerable risk; and to take the broad but roundabout way The great suspension bridge now being built to connect New York and Brooklyn is a work of such magnitude that newspaper readers generally desire to be kept informed of the program being made. The Master Mechanic of the bridge recently gave a lecture in Brooklyn, from which we glean some interesting facts: The lecture was illustrated by a large sectional view of the roadway, showing the carriageways and the foot-walks on the outside of the roadway, and the two trackways for the cars that are to be run across the bridge by means of an endless chain. Four high trusses were also displayed, which will run the whole length of the bridge, distributing the weight more evenly and stiffening the structure against the action of the wind. High above the flooring proper will be built a promenade 15 feet in width from which pleasure seekers and others may obtain an excellent view. The roadway will be 135 feet above high tide and its length from tower to tower is 1,595 feet 6 inches. It has two land spans (from the towers to the anchorage) of 930 feet each and an approach on the Brooklyn side of over 900 feet, and on the New York side of over 1,500 feet. The total length of the bridge will be a little over one and one-eighth miles. The suspenders which hang from the cables and support the roadway have enormous strength. The greatest weight which will ever be brought to bear on them is ten tons apiece, yet they have been tested with a weight of over 140,000 pounds without giving way. There are no such things as rotten wires in this bridge. The first wire was thrown across the East River on the 23d of May, 1877; on the 11th of June following the process of running the wire across began. The process of wrapping the cables was so tedious, that frequently not more than 15 feet was wrapped in a day. If the requisite funds are not withheld, the completion of this bridge is promised in A GREAT PROJECT. How the Southern Pacific Rail Will Benefit California. A good many of the railroad people here, and from them I learn much of what regard to the Southern Pacific prize, an enterprise of more importance San Francisco than seems yet to be indicated. Work on this road was stopped May, the heat of the Arizona desert be intense during the summer that work be done to advantage. It was the intention to resume it again in October, but late East, which so crowded the rolling with orders that the steel rails which been contracted for could not be used with promptness. Now, however, rail and materials of all kinds have been lated at the front, and on Monday I first gang of men for the resumption started from San Francisco and have been followed by other bodies. Unless unexpected obstacle intervenes, there be no more interruptions, but tracks will proceed at the rate of from one mile a day. By the time May come, the intensely hot district will have passed through, and the work will be without stop until tide-water on Mexico is reached. Within eighteen or at most two years, this road will be pleted from ocean to gulf, and a co-line of steel rails, owned by one company will stretch from San Francisco to Galveston and perhaps to New Orleans. No means not merely the opening of transcontinental line similar to that existing, nor does it merely mean a 1,600 miles from ocean to ocean, insulated 3,000. It means a transcontinental which there shall be no break off or which will be controlled from this coast, and no matter how selfish it may be, controlled with a view to ment and development of the Pacific. The Assembly Committee on the Culture and Improvement of the Grape Vine (of which committee Representative Del Valle of this county is a member) met in Sacramento on last Friday and listened to addresses by Arpad Haraszthy, Prof. Hilgard and other experts in viniculture. These gentlemen all dilated upon the growing importance of the wine industry in the State, and urged that an appropriation of at least $12,000 should be made by the Legislature to be expended in establishing experimental stations in different parts of the State. The committee are favorable to the proposed appropriation, and will undoubtedly recommend it. Mr. Haraszthy in the course of his address said: "There are now only 45,000,000 of vines in the State, and yet this year there were made about 6,000,000 gallons of wine and possibly 20,000 gallons of brandy. We ought to have produced 10,000,000, and next year it will be that amount, and 590,000 of brandy. In this no notice of grapes used for the table, raisins or wine used for vinegar is considered; $1,400,000 of wine and $300,000 of brandy were shipped out of the State, not including that sent to Arizona. The Central Pacific took 750,000 gallons of wine to the East, which pays on the average about 14 cents per gallon. They did not take grain lands, but only those fitted for wine, or perhaps, for pasture. It was an undoubted fact that the State can produce more money value in wine than in grain." We have somewhere read of the extraordinary power which roots can put forth to remove any obstacle which they come in contact with. It is said that roots have been known to force large boulders, which impeded their growth towards moisture, to one side. It is strange, then, that "hard-pan" cannot be penetrated by roots which possess such great "muscle." In some vineyards here small streaks of hard-pan are met with four or five feet from the surface. It has been found that the roots of the vines planted on such soil had, when they reached this hard layer, turned up towards the surface again. Such vines, of course, suffered more from drought than those whose roots were unimpeded in their course downwards. The roots of the orange tree, also, appear incapable of penetrating hard-pan. One of our vineyardists in digging around the roots of a bearing tree to ascertain the cause of its sickness, found that the roots had reached the hard best specimen of preserved citron, $3. D.C. Hayward of Orange is on the committee on olives and olive oil, for which premiums of $5 and $3 are offered. We hope the fruit growers of this section will not only send exhibits of fruit but also attend the Fair, as much valuable information can be gained at such gatherings. One thing that may perhaps militate against a large attendance from this place is the bad and dangerous condition of the road. If one travels the narrow and crooked but shortest path to Riverside, he does so at considerable risk; and to take the broad but roundabout way consumes more time than people can afford. We hope to hear of the road being repaired.

In some vineyards here small streaks of hard-pan are met with four or five feet from the surface. It has been found that the roots of the vines planted on such soil had, when they reached this hard layer, turned up towards the surface again. Such vines, of course, suffered more from drought than those whose roots were uninpeded in their course downwards. The roots of the orange tree, also, appear incapable of penetrating hard-pan. One of our vineyardists in digging around the roots of a bearing tree to ascertain the cause of its sickness, found that the roots had reached the hard soil. He loosened it with a pick, since which time the tree has in a measure recovered vigor. Fortunately this hard-pan is seldom met with here, and then only in small spots. One hundred and six 4-horse plows have this season been employed at one time in preparing wheat land in the San Fernando valley. The four hundred acres of sugar beets near Florence, planted by R. Nadeau, is growing finely, and the frost does not seem to have affected it in the least. At the meeting of the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco on Monday evening, Prof. Davidson in the chair, the subject of wild rice was discussed, and it was the general opinion that it could be raised successfully on this coast. Wild fowl it is said are exceedingly fond of it. In the report of the acreage of wheat published last week, Mr. J. J. Guinn's 150 acres were omitted. Mr. Pierce should also be credited with 250 acres instead of 216, and Mr. Tombes will have six acres. This brings the total of Anaheim wheat sown in this vicinity up to 2,664 acres. W. A. Sanders, of Sanders, Fresno county, writes to the Record Union an account of the enormous growth of millet, the seed of which was obtained by him from India. From less than two ounces of seed he raised over four hundred pounds of seed the first year. He says a bunch of it can be raised from a single seed that will weigh over 100 pounds. He thinks it possible, by planting seeds one foot apart, to obtain a yield of 2,000 tons of green feed per acre each year. For hay it should be cut every thirty days, and irrigated after each cutting. Stock eat it with avidity, and its fattening qualities are excellent. SPEAKING of the great need of this county—colonies of industrious people—the Los Angeles Herald says: The Anaheim experiment could be repeated over and over again. We should have unlimited confidence in the pecuniary outcome of settling a Danish or a German colony of five hundred men in this county. The colonists would get rich themselves, and they would enrich this section. The capabilities of development are simply enormous and await but the "open sesame" of capital and intelligence. —The Standard Fire Insurance Company, of which Richard Melrose is agent for Anaheim and vicinity, has withdrawn from the Underwriters' Association and will now take risks at rates which are reasonable and just. In the letter announcing the change the general manager says: "We desire to be in an independent position, not hampered with rules and regulations which are daily broken by the largest companies in the State." Property owners should bear in mind that the Standard is one of the wealthiest and safest of all foreign companies doing business in this State. —A gentleman who has had experience in the matter says that a sure way to prevent rabbits from gnawing the bark of trees is to put a little rabbit's blood on the trunk of the tree two or three times a year. The Riverside Press also gives this remedy: "Take a beef liver, chop it up fine and mix with about two pails of water. Wash the trunk of the tree up as high as the rabbit can reach with this bloody water. The scent will keep off rabbits for weeks or months—at least we have found it an effective remedy." —The Santa Ana Lodge of Good Templars will give an entertainment on Wednesday evening. The programme is a fine one and it is worth a trip from Anaheim to hear it. Many years ago, the Resolute, an English Government ship, had to be abandoned in the Arctic Seas. It was found by an American Government ship, taken to America, repaired by the Government and restored to our Government. It was lately condemned to be broken up. Her Majesty having heard of this, ordered that a magnificent article of furniture, combining writing table, book shelves, etc., should be made out of the ship's timber, and sent as a present to the President of the United States. Designs have been sent in by several cabinet makers, but no decision has been come to at present. —Edinburgh Scoteman. The owners of the Central Pacific have a line of steamers running through Francisco to China. They propose between Liverpool and their eastern minus a similar line of large iron ships may be run swiftly and cheaply this done, they will be prepared to work with the Cape Horn route for the trade of the Pacific coast, and with Canal for the carrying trade of East and Western Europe. They propose to take in this way grain export of California. At all times in our great interior valleys erected warehouses, from which they will be dumped in bulk into cars. Vegetation or New Orleans it will be into the holds of steamers, and be Liverpool or London by elevators, taking the cost of handling, and what greater item, the cost of sacks. Also be paid the cost of insurance; nominal rate between the Gulf port English port; as well as three month est. These items taken into consideration they propose will be so they will be able to turn the whole trade in grain over their lines, and cars, which must be handled back, pose to carry heavy freight even equally low rates. But the great advantage of the farmer will be that he will thus benefit by every rise in Liverpool tions. Now when wheat rises in tonnage rises in San Francisco, and part of what should be the profit o'fifornia wheat-grower goes in higher. The railroad rate being uniform, the grower will get the full benefit of his prices. I have not space to follow up these ficent scheme in all its main features nothing of its details.

EDITOR GAZETTE: — Bonfort's Wine and Liquor Circular, in a reviewing article on the trade of 1879, states an encouraging increase in the import business. From 1874 to 1879 the decline was so constant, the Circular says, that many had been led to believe that the prosperity of the trade in the East in foreign liquors was a thing of the past, and that, especially for the lower grades of wines, the demand would never revive in the face of the improvement in the quality of competing domestic goods. The business of 1879 completely dispels all such apprehensions. The revival has been equally marked throughout the entire list, and the consumers of every grade of goods have resumed, buying freely as soon as the disappearance of hard times permitted them to return to their former halts of life. A taste for better goods, especially in clarets and sherries, has been fostered by the present tariff, and there has been a genuine improvement in the popular appreciation of the relative qualities of different grades which has been accelerated rather than retarded by the increased use of domestic goods. In truth, Americans are gradually ceasing to be 'a cold-water-drinking people as they advance in civilization, culture and liberality, and there need be no apprehension of the failure of the demand for luxuries of moderate cost, so long as times are fairly prosperous, as is clearly shown by the parallel increase of trade in California and in imported wines during the past year. The increased trade in foreign wines in bulk did not check the business in California. No better proof of the universality of the improvement could be adduced than is afforded by this fact. In 1878 the great falling off in foreign bulk goods was justly being well up and a good stand evenly covering the plain to the extent of several thousand acres.

Within eighteen months, most two years, this road will be com- mitted to ocean to gulf, and a continuous steel rails, owned by one company, stretch from San Francisco to Galveston, perhaps to New Orleans. Now this not merely the opening of another continental line similar to that already begun, nor does it merely mean a line of miles from ocean to ocean, instead of it means a transcontinental line on there shall be no break of ownership, which will be controlled from the Pacific coast, no matter how selfish its owners, controlled with a view to the settle- and development of the Pacific coast.

This is the reason giving the statement of railroad for the unjust discriminations which Nevada wool growers to first ship wool to San Francisco, to be brought again on its way East, and which makes it far from San Francisco to New York far than from Reno. The Central Pacific, they say, have long realized that discriminations are against their true interests, and have wished to put down fares in a low figure to attract immigration have been prevented by the de- fice of the other roads, the Union railway, especially, having been actuated policy of keeping the tide of im- pression from flowing west of Ogden, under that it might spread along one route, taking up its land and build- ing a way business.

But with a road from ocean to ocean, will be masters of the situation. They not only be able to carry passengers and set as low as they please from New Or- derioe Oregon line, but they will be able to dictate terms to roads, which, when southern Pacific advances a little further north, will be anxious to make connection with the next year and before tide-water on other side is reached, it is the inten- tively building a road along the northern part of the Mojave desert, to avoid the grade and the long tunnel on the pre- mine of the Southern Pacific between Francisco and Los Angeles.

Now when wheat rises in England large rises in San Francisco, and a great deal of what should be the profit of the California wheat-grower goes in higher freights. Railroad rate being uniform, the wheat-tender will get the full benefit of increased prices. There is not space to follow up this magnificent scheme in all its main features, to say nothing of its details. It involves the development of Southern California, of Arizona New Mexico and Western Texas, of the southern States of Mexico, and ultimately, that rich table land which dim ages ago the seat of empire and civilization. It gives the opening of a new channel for the best trade of the world; it involves such impetus to the growth of California in inflation and wealth as has not been given to the discovery of gold. That the railroad people consider the eastern road as their "big thing," is very clear, and the statement printed by the New York Tribune yesterday, of a sale by them large block of Central Pacific stock is not less but a step in a well-defined policy. We think Boreas and Bacchus were in league on Monday evening, as we hear only the President and the church organ left their homes to attend the meeting of the Christian Temperance Union. The fall blast we heard but the tender notes of the solo were audible. Colds, coughs and sore throats are in fashion now. Our mail driver, Mr Willey, is quite sick. The Rev. J. H. Warren D. D., Superintendent of the American Home Missionary Society for the Pacific coast, will preach (D. V.) in the Congregational church here on Tuesday morning next. The Congregational church lot has been plowed and sown to alfalfa and presents quite a neat appearance. The interest on money collected for trees for other church must be accumulating, as its lot is still in statu quo.

Mr. Price, father of Nathan Price, who had just left for Arizona, was burned on the 25th of Jan., after a week's illness. Deceased was 67 years of age. The whooping-cough has almost entirely disappeared from this neighborhood. Mr. Ramboz and family left yesterday for Arizona via Los Angeles, where they will remain until Saturday, to be joined by a friend and his family. The Ramboz place is sold to parties from above, and rented by Mr. Sweitzer, who moved in yesterday. Mr. Neece, from Gospel Swamp, has moved into the neighborhood. A couple of weeks ago the cook at Mr. Hawkin's had a trunk stolen; said trunk containing some money and clothes—total value one hundred dollars. At the end of a week the trunk was found buried in the wheat field near the house, having been broken into with a hatchet and rifled of its contents. Suspicion of the Chinese gardener and an associate caused their overhauling in Los Angeles, but nothing was found to commit; so the affair remains a mystery. The children give a concert at the school house on the 14th inst. The "fopetic" man is around among us. The large wheat field between here and Los Angeles is looking splendidly, the grain on the ground of insanity. An order was immediately issued that Freeman be confined in the State Lunatic Asylum. Ottawa, Jan. 30.—A grave-digger had thrown three or four shovelfuls of sand on the coffin of a smallpox victim, when he fancied he heard a noise. The coffin was raised, and it was found that the person still lived. He was taken back to the hospital. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company has lowered its passenger tariff between New York and San Francisco from $130 to $75 for first-class passengers, and its freight tariff has also greatly lowered. This action is inspired by the expiration of a contract which has existed for some time between the railroad and steamship companies, by which the latter received a subsidy for keeping up the rates. Tucson, Jan. 28.—Snow fell last night in this city to a depth of five inches, and it is still snowing. This is something unprecedented in the history of this locality. The storm ranges over the whole of the southeastern portion of Arizona, which promises an abundance of water and large crops in the present year in this section. There are three stories in the February Harper, two of them running from previous months, and one of them in full; there are two poems; there are three biographical sketches—Bartram the botanist, Washington the burglar, and Berlioz the musician; there are three essays on foreign subjects; there is another of those rich and juicy descriptions of life in far West; the question of wood engraving is discussed by various experts; there is an account of a famous breviary, and there is a sketch of a night in an avalanche. The numerous engravings in this number are fresh, lively, and of delightful quality, and altogether the February Harper is an orchard of choice fruits and a garden of beauteous flowers. August Flower. The immense sale and great popularity of Green's August Flower in all towns and villages in the civilized world has caused many imitators to adopt similar names, expecting to reap a rich harvest for themselves at the expense of the afflicted. This medicine was introduced in 1868, and for the cure of dyspepsia and liver complaint, with their effects, such as sour stomach, costiveness, sick stomach, sick headache, indigestion, palpitation of the heart, vertigo, etc., etc., it never has failed to our knowledge. Three dresses will relieve any case of dyspepsia. Two million bottles sold last year. Price 75 cents. Samples 10 cents.
