At the Town Hall of the Town of Anaheim, for the election of the following officers: Five Trustees, One Announcer, One Clerk, One Marshal, One Treasurer, One Justice of the Peace. To serve for the ensuing year, and until their successor qualifies. Geo. C Knox and Fred W. Athorne are hereby appointed Judges of said election, and Adolph Rimpan and Leopold Cohen, Clerks. The election shall be conducted as far as possible in accordance with the general election laws of this State. By order of the Board of Trustees. RICHARD MELROSE, Town Clerk. Anaheim, March 26th, 1880. Agricultural and Horticultural Items. Commissioner Le Duc of the Agricultural Department, Washington, has written to Mr. Gennert, offering to furnish sugar beet seed gratuitously to such of our farmers as may desire it for experimental purposes. The offer comes rather late in the season. No prettier sight ever greeted the eyes than some of the early-sown rye fields in the vicinity of Anaheim. The stalks have attained a height of about four feet and a half, stand perfectly straight and the top is "as level as a barn floor." The only danger now to be feared is an untimely frost. The Reno (Nevada) Gazette says an association to be known as the Piute Sugar Company has organized at that place. The company have located a large tract of land in the sugar-cane district, and a large sorghum mill will be erected forthwith. The company expect to have everything in full operation by the 1st of June. They believe they will be able to supply the Nevada market with choice sugar at lower prices than any of a similar quality can be imported. Among the probable future industries of this part of Southern California is the making of orange wine, or, as it is termed in France, orange amere. The taste of this wine is said to be delicious, and its more general use is only interdicted by the high price which it commands. When the production of oranges largely exceeds the demand (a state of affairs which some people contend will be witnessed in a few years), the surplus fruit can be utilized in making this wine. Having thus discovered a way to utilize our surplus oranges, as well as our surplus lemons and limes, (the two last named in the manufacture of citric acid) our THE EARTHQUake. "The Biggest Since '68" - A Disquisition on Earthquakes in General. There are very few people in this county who were not particularly alert and wide-awake at about half past four o'clock on last Monday morning. The earthquake which was felt at that hour was heavy enough and lasted long enough to inject activity, mental and physical, into the most indolent and lazy of mortals. It was the finest specimen of an earthquake that has been experienced in this county since the ever-memorable one of October, 1868, and as such we are proud of it. As near as we are able to judge, the shock was of about twenty seconds' duration, and the direction of the wave appeared to be north-west and south-east. It was not a violent quake; that is, the undulations were not so fierce and did not follow each other in such rapid succession as has been the case in other earthquakes which we have experienced. Nevertheless, the doors and windows rattled like castanets, but we have heard of no damage resulting from the temblor. A slight shock was felt by a few persons about 1 o'clock of the same morning, and a still slighter one a few minutes before the heavy quake. A friend, living a short distance from town, in a private note to the editor thus describes his experiences: "I was lying awake at the time, and at the instant of beginning was surprised at the sound of what seemed a heavily loaded team being driven in from the south, and past my window. The vibration of the house, however, with the feeling as if in a railroad car off the track and jolting over the ties, at once convinced me of its true nature. The only thing which puzzled me was that while it seemed to come from the south it also appalled." The Weather. The temperature on the afternoon of the 13th was cold enough to justify a feeling of apprehension that frost would ensue. These fears were fortunately without foundation, but the danger has only passed pro tem. The critical period will have passed in about eight days, as after the 25th inst. we are reasonably sure of immunity from a frost visitation. The following record of temperature during the night-time is furnished by night-watchman Athearn: APRIL 13. APRIL 14 APRIL 15 12 o'clock ... 42° 46° 50° 1 ... 42° 49° 50° 2 ... 40° 47° 49° 3 ... 42° 46° 48½ 4 ... 46° 46° 50½ 5 ... 46° 45° 50½ "A little too much of a good thing," is what is being said of the weather. The total rainfall for the season, up to 7 o'clock yesterday morning, is 13.38, and the prospect for an inch or two more is quite brilliant at the present writing. Mr. Langenberger's rain record shows the following as the rainfall during the week: 13th—to 6 A.M., .01; 14th—8 P.M. to 12 P.M., .20; 15th—4 P.M. to 6 P.M., .15; 16th—to 7 A.M., .34. The effect of these rains on the early sown barley is far from good; but the cloud has its silver lining after all. The ground will be in excellent condition for corn, after the hay has been cut, and corn has "riz." Savannah Items. Several of our friends from El Monte started for Tucson last Sunday with several teams. Mrs. S. Bennett, after a brief visit to Tucson, has returned, and says that the Territory is quite a rough place for ladies to live. Mrs. J. C. Hannon, we are pleased to learn, is fast recovering from the effects of heat recovery from the effects of night-watchman Athearn: One of the National Parks open at the A collection of treasures shown either stages of their protection during the summer Mr. Leacock Madera where were brought while watching them to the surface When above and seem too fly. Some oaks in the specimens bore vine roots, which protected during the summer may be supplied afford but live the insects doing well. The roots have in order to viticulturize by this pest of the vine. To visitors, Leacock has eral destruction His mode of lay bare the roots of the vine. The sects are burnt or thinned lower part of them coated with water. Flax in large quantities has been sown in this valley, and in common with all the other grains, it is growing finely and gives promise of a large yield. Growers of flax elsewhere, however, are not faring so well. A San Luis Obispo paper says that worms have done great damage to the flax crop in that county. "They have completely destroyed sixty acres belonging to A. Paul, on the Morro road, and are damaging the crop in other sections. The worm is an ordinary caterpillar, of a reddish-brown color, very similar to those which infest fruit trees. W. P. Barnett says they have damaged his crop to some extent, but that he notices lately that they have attained to their full size and are dull and torpid, from which it is held their ravages are at an end." Manure has suddenly become an important essential in agricultural economy in this State. Until the present year, it has been here regarded as a very disagreeable nuisance, possessing no value. But during the past winter it became an article of commerce, and was hauled from sheep camps ten miles distant, and we learn that in some cases a good round sum was charged for the privilege of hauling it even that distance. The vineyardists of Napa county appear to be equally eager for fertilizing material, and the St. Helena Star thus describes how they propose to get enough of it: One of our vineyardists is talking of importing manures from San Francisco, more being required than can be had at home. He thinks he can get a scow, moor it alongside a wharf, have it dumped full and tow it up to Napa, whence the freight will be hauled by wagon. He has already hauled from Rutherford, and this season intends going as far as Calistoga and Chiles Valley. Peaches and apricots will be abundant this year. The trees were never before so full of bloom, and unless some untoward circumstance intervenes it will tax the ingenuity of growers to get rid of their fruit. In such counties the prospect is not so good, as witness the following, which we take from the Fresno Expositor: The fruit and vegetable growers of this section are afflicted with a plague in the shape of a bird that promises serious injury if not abated by their wholesale destruction. The bird is of a gravy color, but has white and black stripes on its head. It evidently belongs to the sparrow family. We have been shown limbs of fruit trees—peaches and apricots especially—that have been entirely denuded of fruit buds by these pests.

Hannon, we are pleased to learn, is fast recovering from the effects of her fall from a wagon last week. Our day-school has a large number of scholars since the weather has moderated. The Savannah Literary Association met last Thursday night. The question, Resolved, That men of thought are more useful than men of action, after debate was decided by the house in favor of the negative. The next question is "fire and water." Some of us will take water if we cannot get something better. Crops are looking away up in this section. Corn, barley and hogs are on the upward march in prices here. We may expect a good crop of fruit, judging from the way the fruit is setting on the apple, peach, etc. Mr. E. J. Baldwin is now shipping a large amount of corn from our depot. "Go it while you are young," said 70 to 72 who were lately married in El Monte. The second wife for him, and the fourth husband for her. Well-wishes for both. J. H. B. Board of Supervisors. SATURDAY April 10, 1880. In the matter of fixing water rates—the Anaheim Water Company allowed to charge 50 cents per head per hour for water furnished and sold; Cajon Irrigation Co., 50 cents per head per hour; Azusa Water District $1 per head per day of 12 hours and 50 cents per head per night; Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., Litchi, 50 cents per head per hour; Los Nietos Water District, 10 cents per hour or $240 per day of 24 hours' run for each irrigating head; Lake Vineyard Land and Water Ass'n., 84 cents per hour per head; Orange Grove Ass'n, same rate. City rates to irrigators outside of city limits—For one head of water from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M., $3; from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M.$150; said head of water to be the same in amount as that sold to irrigators within the city limits. Communication of certain irrigators of Veron District in regard to water sold in said district by the city of Los Angeles. Laid on the table for future consideration. On motion of Supervisor Hannon it is ordered that, in fixing water rates, wherever "head of water" is used, it shall and is intended to mean the usual quantity of water heretofore known or sold as an irrigating head, and that the Clerk is hereby instructed to furnish all parties with a certified copy of the rates fixed this day by the Board of Supervisors.

The bird is of a grayish color, but has white and black stripes on its head. It evidently belongs to the sparrow family. We have been shown limbs of fruit trees—peaches and apricots especially—that have been entirely denuded of fruit buds by these pests. They alight on a tree and strip limb after limb of its buds. In the vegetable garden they are equally destructive. They do not care for the seed before it sprouts, but as soon as the germ appears above the ground it is nipped up to satisfy the appetites of the voracious little plunderer. They do not care for vegetation after it has got well started. We have seen these little pests clean out a bed of peas just sprouting, not a pea to tell the tale. The man who can plant twenty acres of vines, and has the capital to carry him through the first three years of their growth, is assured of a competency for life.—Express. New York, April 13th.—The Produce Exchange received yesterday from California, specimens of the so-called pampas rice, recently brought into notice by the Kansas Board of Agriculture. Protection of Young Trees. Where it is desirable to pasture sheep or hogs in orchards, or where rabbits make depredations, the bark of young trees may be successfully protected by washing the trees in spring, and again in midsummer, for sheep, and in late autumn for rabbits, with soap suds and carbolic acid, or a solution of coal tar and whitewash. Both are sure in accomplishing the end in view, and are valuable in keeping off the borer and in giving a healthy surface activity to the sap, which will make the bark look fresh and healthy. An ounce of carbolic acid to a pail of soap suds is sufficient. At 4:40 o'clock Monday morning Los Angeles was visited with two shocks of earthquake that are worthy of note. The first was heralded by a hoarse, rumbling noise, like the roar of the sea, which will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it. We were awakened in time to perceive that the two-story house in which we lodge was shaken as though it was made of card-board. In some houses lamps and water pitchers were thrown violently down from their stands. Many of our people dressed themselves and sought shelter in the streets. After the lapse of a few minutes there was a second shake, which was by no means as violent as the first. Notwithstanding the liveliness of the visitation, we have not heard of any injury to houses. For some days past the remark has been common in Los Angeles that we were having "earthquake weather."—Herald, 13th. San Francisco, April 14.—At five minutes past one the heaviest shock of earthquake felt for years occurred here. The motion was vertical, and no damage has yet been reported, although the buildings rocked so that the motion was plainly visible. The Nevada Block apparently swayed a foot out of perpendicular. Dan Hart, the colored pedestrian, made the best score on record in New York last week. His score at the end of six days was 565 miles and 165 yards. His share of the profits amounts to $18,000.

The Nihilists of Russia claim Lord Beaconsfield as one of the apostles and upholders of their scheme of king killing. In a pamphlet recently printed for secret circulation in St. Petersburg, quotations are made from the "Revolutionary Epic" of Benjamin Disraeli, two editions of which have been published by the author—one edition in 1834 and the other in 1864. In the edition of 1834 these lines, which appear to be of interest to the Nihilists, are found: "Dark Pharaoh's doom shall cool his chariot wheels, New hot with blood; And blessed be the hand that dares to wield The regicidal steel that shall redeem A nation's sorrow with a tyrant's blood." He revised these lines for the edition of 1864, in which they run\tns: "And hallowed be The regicidal steel that shall redeem A nation's sorrow with a tyrant's blood." It is strange says the Nihilist pamphlet, that he who wrote these lines was a member of the Berlin Conference of 1877, in which Gortchakoff and Bismarck took part. GAZETTE. NO. 27 The Phylloxera. One of the many interesting exhibits at the National Exhibition and Market now open at the Agricultural-hall, Islington, is a collection of specimens of phylloxera vasteatrix, shown under the microscope by Mr. Richard Blandy. The insects are here to be seen either alive or dead in the different stages of their growth. Taking the exhibits in order, there will be noticed with the unassisted eye what appears to be a fine yellow dust, rather like the pollen of a flower, on the glass slide of the first instrument. This, examined through the microscope, is seen to be the young creature. The next stand shows an adult insect with the fine rostrum or tube through which it sucks the sap from the vine root. In the third instrument are specimens of the nymph, with wing-cases which protect the exceedingly delicate wings during the subterranean life of the creature. Mr. Leacock, the owner of the vineyard in Madera whence the specimens here shown were brought, has, with a magnifying glass, while lying on the ground in early summer, watched the fully-developed insects coming to the surface through cracks in the earth. When above ground they spread their wings and seem to be blown away rather than fly. Some of the winged insects are shown. In the two remaining microscopes are live specimens brought over sticking to pieces of vine-roots, which have been kept in a bottle in this country for about a fortnight. As may be supposed, the roots are now dry and afford but little nourishment, yet many of the insects are still active and appear to be doing well. Some shoots of plants of which the roots have been attacked are exhibited, in order to show what may be done by the viticulturist to diminish the injury caused by this pest, and even to restore the health of the vine. In a little pamphlet distributed to visitors, it is stated that in Madera Mr. Leacock has succeeded in checking the general destruction of the vines on his estate. His mode of dealing with phylloxera is to lay bare the underground stem and principal roots of the vines as far as this may be done safely. The loose bark, on which the insects are generally thickly clustered, is burnt or thrown into boiling water. The lower part of the stem and the roots are then coated with a preparation of turpen- El Monte start with several brief visit to Tucson that the Terri-ladies to live.

Many arrests have been made in order to secure a sufficient number for the victims to be selected from. The priests, who have hitherto enjoyed amnesty from sacrifice, are quitting Mandalay in great numbers. The Catholic convent was entered to procure victims from among the girls there, but the attempt was frustrated. The internal condition of the country is most satisfactory. The people, while seeing the fallacy of King Thebaro's acts, are helpless to effect a change. April 11. — Seven hundred men, women, boys, girls, priests and foreigners have been buried alive under the towers of the city walls as a sacrifice for the restoration of the King's health. The panic in Mandalay is frightful, and hundreds of people are leaving the city. The King's illness is said to be leprosy. London, April 14. — A dispatch from Thylmyo says that the Burmese Ambassador declares the statement published here in regard to the reported massacre in Mandalay is without a particle of truth. Leave of absence to British officers has been stopped, and it is generally thought an important step is impending. Chicago, April 10. — Dr. Ferdinand Meyer of Matteson, Ill., having, as is alleged, vaccinated a considerable number of persons in that town with virus taken from the body of a small-pox patient, thereby causing a rapid spread of the disease, and securing a large number of patients, having been suspected of the crime, has left Matteson for parts unknown. The greatest indignation prevails among the inhabitants, and if found, Meyer would probably pay the penalty of his insect are still active and doing well. Some shoots of plants of which the roots have been attacked are exhibited, in order to show what may be done by the viticulturist to diminish the injury caused by this pest, and even to restore the health of the vine. In a little pamphlet distributed to visitors, it is stated that in Maderia Mr. Leacock has succeeded in checking the general destruction of the vines on his estate. His mode of dealing with phylloxera is to lay bare the underground stem and principal roots of the vines as far as this may be done safely. The loose bark, on which the insects are generally thickly clustered, is burnt or thrown into boiling water. The lower part of the stem and the roots are then coated with a preparation of turpentine and resin, about 3½ oz. of finely powdered resin being added to each quart of turpentine. When gently heated the mixture becomes thick enough to form a cohesive coating to the roots. This stuff destroys the insects touched by it, and those lower down prevented from working upward, due as their food fails by the destruction of the roots below them. The turpentine mixture is applied in the autumn and winter, and the plants are at the same time well manured. There may not be any very marked improvement in the first year after this treatment, but next year new roots will have been thrown out, and the plants will not require to be treated in this way again for four or five years. Some winemade from the fruits that have thus been saved and restored to health, has been sent to this exhibition. Other vine-growers in the island, it added, are adopting Mr. Leacock's plan of dealing with the phylloxera, and so far as Madera is concerned the plague is believed to be stayed. — London Times. Sorghum Sugar. In response to Commissioner Le Duc's report, that through the experiments of the Agricultural Bureau it had been demonstrated that the manufacture of sugar from fully matured sorghum is not difficult. Mr. A. J. Russell, an Illinois farmer, has sent a barrel of sorghum sugar to the Department, which experts pronounce to be excellent. Mr. Russell further states that he has this year, for himself and his neighbors, manufactured 42,000 pounds of sugar from sorghum, which has brought readily ten cents per pound in Chicago. This would indicate that there can be no great art required in the manufacture. Professor Collier insists that all that is necessary is to have the sorghum perfectly mature before the frost strikes it. This surely is a matter which ought to interest the people of California. There is enough good sorghum ground in that State, which lies where no frost need be feared until October, to produce sorghum enough to more than double in value the annual bullion yield of the State, and probably the whole coast. The demand for sugar is practically limitless, to cultivate sorghum requires no more skill than to cultivate corn, and if the rich men of California, who have great estates in land, are wise, they will communicate with Commissioner Le Due said with farmer Russell of Illinois and see if it is not possible that there is something better to do with their land than to wear it out by planting it year after year in wheat. — Weekly Territorial Enterprise, Feb. 21. Salt Lake, April 8. — This being the fifteenth anniversary of the Mormon Church, the April conference has been well attended. A three-days session was held, but nothing of importance transpired. Eighty missionaries were chosen to go on missions to Europe and the Eastern States. Orson Pratt, the oracle of the Church, predicted the destruction of the world eleven years hence—the day and exact hour not stated. The Saints were severely scolded by the Apostles for drunkenness and apostacy.

The greatest indignation prevails among the inhabitants, and if found, Meyer would probably pay the penalty of his crime immediately. The increase of rabbits in New Zealand has been so great that it has been seriously proposed to introduce the weasel and the polecat to keep down their excessive number. An "Exterminator," however, has been invented which seems to be effective. It consists of a machine for generating and forcing into burrows carbonic oxide gas. On reaching the burrow a flexible tube about five feet in length is inserted into the hole, and the gas is forced into the aperture. The entrance to the burrow is then stopped, as well as all holes and fissures that can be found. In a few seconds a great hubbub is heard inside, but this quickly subsides. The burrow is dug open after a short time, when the dead bodies of the rabbits are found huddled together in every corner. The exterminators have been pronounced a perfect success. SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.—The Democratic State Central Committee met this afternoon and called a State Convention for May 19th at Oakland. The apportionment is the same as that of the last convention. WASHINGTON, April 12.—Delegate Downey of Wyoming introduced a bill appropriating $500,000 for the purpose of having a suitable painting of the life and death of Jesus Christ placed on the walls of the Capitol. The Act organizing the Board of Railroad Commissioners only needs the Governor's signature to become a law, as also the supplementary bill providing for the expenses of the Commission.

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., it never has failed to our knowledge. Three doses will relieve any case of dyspepsia. Two million bottles sold last year. Price 75 cents. Samphos 10 cents.
