SING HEY THE FINE COMMISSION THAT IT IS. The visit of the Railroad Commission to Anaheim on Wednesday reminds us of a story. Once upon a time, a tramp, tired and hungry, came to a wayside inn, which he entered, and announced to the landlord that he was the rat-catcher of the period—all others were frauds, and, figuratively speaking, were unworthy to unlace his shoes. The landlord told the tramp that he was the man he had been looking for for a long time, and invited him to begin destroying the rodents at once. To this the trump replied that it was arduous work, and that with an ample supply of provender stowed away under his vest he could slay the rats in a much more scientific, expeditious and satisfactory manner. The landlord took the hint and placed before his guest a sumptuous breakfast; and, while that individual filled himself to repletion, sat impatiently by, anxious to see a beginning made towards ridding his hostelrie of the pests which had up to that time evaded all attempts at extermination. Having finished his breakfast, the tramp asked for and obtained a large club, and pulling off his coat he settled himself securely in his chair, grasped the club firmly in his hands, and in a voice in which determination and ferocity were equally blended, exclaimed, "Now bring on your rats!" The Railroad Commissioners were elected to remedy certain abuses in railroad management which are palpably apparent to every School Examinations and Graduating Exercises. The closing examinations of the Anaheim public schools began on Wednesday morning in Mr. Guinn's room. The first examined was the class in English History. The examination was oral, the different members of the class taking up the story in succession and telling briefly the main incidents of the different kings' reigns. The examination was highly interesting. Next was a class in Language Lessons; while at the same time the advanced class was passing a written examination in Natural Philosophy. The class in English Composition acquitted themselves well in the principles of that very important study. The class in Higher Arithmetic showed great proficiency in solving examples and explaining principles. The questions were of a practical sort, and the pupils evinced a thorough acquaintance with the business methods of solving problems. The closing exercise of the day was an oral examination in physiology. This was a very interesting exercise. The class showed quite a thorough knowledge of the "human form divine." The examinations closed in this department on Thursday morning. The advanced grammar grade was examined in Arithmetic, and the high school in Algebra. Thursday afternoon was devoted to literary and graduating exercises. Kroeger's Hall was well filled with an intelligent and appreciative audience. The following programme was presented: Do not consider this as the culmination of your education. Your education is but begun. You have but entered the portal of the temple of knowledge. Strive to enter its inner sanctuary. Strive constantly to add new acquisitions to your present attainments, to glean new truths in the fields of science. Act well your part in life. Be true to yourself. And may the blessings, the happiness and the rewards that follow from time well spent, duty faithfully done and opportunities improved, be yours to enjoy in this life and in the life to come. As a pupil, farewell; as a friend, I shall ever claim you." The examinations in the other departments are in progress as we go to press, full reports of which will appear in our next issue. The Agricultural Status. EDITOR GAZKITE:—The agricultural interests of our county seem never before to have received greater attention than has this year been given them. In the area sown, in the pains with which it was planted, in the selection of the best varieties and in the care they received while growing, we may this year safely claim precedence over all previous efforts. The decided improvement on former light tillage, inattentive rearing and carelessly expensive manner of harvesting for crops which were practiced a few years since, has reached a more satisfactory state during the season just passing than repletion, sat impatiently by, anxious to see a beginning made towards ridding his hostelrie of the pests which had up to that time evaded all attempts at extermination. Having finished his breakfast, the tramp asked for and obtained a large club, and pulling off his coat he settled himself securely in his chair, grasped the club firmly in his hands, and in a voice in which determination and ferocity were equally blended, exclaimed, "Now bring on your rats!" The Railroad Commissioners were elected to remedy certain abuses in railroad management which are palpably apparent to every business man in the State. But having received a full measure of provender, in the shape of a large salary, they settle themselfs comfortably in their chairs and explain to the people, "Now bring on your grievances!" It seems to us that if the Commissioners were anxious to do the service for which they were elected, they would have demanded from the railroad company a schedule of the rates charged by them, and then proceeded to modify these rates in accordance with their opinion of what was right and proper. To go about the country holding meetings is a roundabout and unsatisfactory way of acquiring information; and it is not right to ask business men to give public testimony as to acts of extortion and discrimination on the part of railroads. That corporation has it in its power to harrass and annoy men who openly antagonize it, and it is none too good and pure to exercise that power. The Commission had better return to its samptuous offices in San Francisco, and, in conjunction with the railroad officials, modify the tariff just a little. —The people of San Pedro and Wilmington were surprised yesterday morning by the appearance in immense numbers of a small black winged insect, in shape like a weevil, but no larger than a small ant. They fell on the ground until they could be scraped up by the handfull. They were furnished with six legs, and soon crawled into houses and on the faces and hands of people, until they became a perfect pest, but fortunately the greater portion disappeared within a few hours. They came with the hot wind of the north.—Er. We would very much like to hear an explanation of the presence of these insects at Wilmington and adjacent points. While the writer lived in that town, many years ago, there were several showers of bugs during one summer, and we remember that it was remarked at the time that the visitation was confined exclusively to that part of the county. The bugs appeared just after sundown on very warm days, and in half an hour they had penetrated into every nook and corner of the houses and it was days before they were dislodged. The process of getting rid of them was decidedly unpleasant, as they gave forth a very offensive smell when touched. —The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The clerk submitted a financial statement showing the business methods of solving problems. The closing exercise of the day was an oral examination in physiology.

Miss Matilda Rimpau is the first graduate from the Anaheim High School. She completed a full course. The course, in addition to the common branches, included the following: General History, Physiology, Natural Philosophy, Rhetoric, Higher Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Geology, Astronomy, Chemistry, Mental Philosophy, Botany and Zoology. The beauty, grace and self-possession of the young graduate elicited many flattering compliments from her audience. Her clear musical enunciation in the reading of her essay made every word distinctly heard by her auditors. Her valedictory address to her schoolmates and teachers beautifully expressed her deep and heartfelt regrets at parting with them. We give a portion of it: "There now devolves on me the duty of Thanking you for past kindnesses, and of saying to you my final farewell. I thank you who have come hither on this occasion to encourage me with your presence. I thank you who have gone so far and learned so much on your journey of life, that you so kindly look back and smile upon me just setting out on my pilgrimage. May the light of your example long linger in blessings on those of us who shall survive to take your places in this broad and busy world." Mr. Guinn, the time has come when the pleasant relations that ever exist between teacher and scholar must be dissolved. I thank you, respected instructor, for your paternal care, your faithful counsels and your kind instructions. You have opened before me those ways of wisdom which are full of pleasantness and peace. You have told me of the bright rewards of knowledge and virtue, and of the consequences of ignorance and vice. My lips cannot express EDITOR GAZETTE:—The agricultural interests of our county seem never before to have received greater attention than has this year been given them. In the area sown, in the pains with which it was planted, in the selection of the best varieties and in the care they received while growing, we may this year safely claim precedence over all previous efforts. The decided improvement on former light tillage, inattentive rearing and carelessly expensive manner of harvesting for crops which were practiced a few years since, has reached a more satisfactory state during the season just passing than during any which have preceded it. And the first and direct result of this careful, businesslike—this rational mode of farming has been the most abundant and glowing prospect that any could expect, or that Mother Earth could promise. True, late injuries—injuries which were beyond our control—have materially altered anticipated returns, but this cannot justly and must not be connected with the pains and energy displayed by farmers the present season. Our present misfortune was long enough delayed for the full demonstration to be spread over all the land, plain enough for all to read, that good, thorough and business-like farming does bring its reward, and that, especially during such seasons as the present, this is the only mode of procedure that can be made remunerative and consequently the only one that can be followed with success. Perhaps farmers throughout our vicinity have never been more discouraged than at present. This state of affairs can relate though, to only one of the numerous products that our country yields; and even with this,the outlook, we positively assert, is not so hopeless as the excitement of the moment would induce us to conceive. Wheat, as a grain crop, is in most localities, with and near us, almost a failure. This we admit, is proving a sad misfortune, as the farming interests of our county were staked largely on wheat, and now the first impression is that this prop has gone from under us. With wheat as a marketable grain crop, this is about what we have to face. Now, were this case with us alone, and were our neighbors prepared to flush the markets to overflowing, thus reducing the prices for our little surplus to the minimum, this would indeed be bad. But unfortunately for others though advantageous to ourselves, such is not the case. Owing to the effects of the heated term just passed, there is no probability of any of our sister sections materially reducing the already firm and fair prices for produce. So for what there is to spare, we think that reasonably remunerative prices may be confidently expected. While our present yield of threshed grain will not be a good milling article, it will yet answer fully for seed to any who may choose to test it further, as many will undoubtedly do; for wheat has yet all the claims for recognition among farmers that other crops may have; for it yields no more readily than they to passing calamities, and has heretofore, with merit, taken procedure over all other crops. Not all, however, contemplate was remarked at the time that the visitation was confined exclusively to that part of the county. The bugs appeared just after sun-down on very warm days, and in half an hour they had penetrated into every nook and corner of the houses and it was days before they were dislodged. The process of getting rid of them was decidedly unpleasant, as they gave forth a very offensive smell when touched. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The clerk submitted a financial statement showing the expenditures of the fiscal year 1879-80. The expenditures were thus classified: Expense of laying water pipe, salary of engineer, and all other expenditures connected with the Town Water Works ... $1944.50 Salaries ... 188.75 Current Expenses ... 280.37 Work on roads and bridges ... 213.18 Expenses of Anaheim Fire Company ... 74.90 Total Expenditures ... $2701.70 The receipts during the year amounted to $2268.51. Mr. Korn introduced an amendment to the dog license ordinance, which provides that a license will not be exacted for dogs that are kept chained on the premises of the owner. The same gentleman also introduced an ordinance making it an offense punishable by a fine of five dollars to dig a ditch for irrigating purposes across any street and neglecting to fill up the same immediately after using it. The political battle at Chicago is at its height as we write. It may be that before this paragraph is seen by the reader the fight will be lost and won, so it is the part of wisdom for us to forbear from prophesying. Blaine's friends, it may be remarked, occupy many points of vantage, and have control of the important Committee on Credentials. The plumed knight's feather has not yet gone down before the charge of the man on horseback. The Supreme Court released Kearney from imprisonment, and the Superior Judges of the city and county of San Francisco, sitting in bane, dismissed the proceedings to oust Mayor Kaloch from his position. Kearney has announced that his tongue will wag with greater freedom hereafter, and Kaloch has announced his determination to remain in politics.

Diligent and dutiful as a pupil you have always been; persevering amid discouragement, and earnest in your desire to learn.

My lips cannot express the gratitude that glows within my heart, but I will endeavor with the blessing of heaven to testify in my future life by dedicating all that I am, all that I may attain to the promotion of virtue and the good of society. To you, I can only say a sad farewell. "And now, my beloved schoolmates, I turn to you. Long and happy has been our connection as members of this school; but from this day it must close forever. No longer shall I sit in these seats to listen to the voice that woe us to be wise. We must part; but parting shall only draw closer the ties that bind us. The setting sun and the evening star which have so often witnessed our intimacies and joys shall still remind me of the scenes that are past. While we live on the earth may we cherish a grateful remembrance of each other; and oh! in heaven may our friendship be beautified and perpetuated. And now, to old and young, to patrons and friends, to instructors and to each other, I render my reluctant and affectionate farewell." Mr. Guinn, on presenting the diploma to the young lady, said: "Miss Matilda, it is with mingled feelings of pleasure and sadness that I present you this diploma—of pleasure that I can give you some token that may, in years to come, serve to remind you of the many happy days we have spent in the pleasant relation of teacher and scholar; of sadness because this token signifies that those relations are severed, and those happy days are past beyond recall.

As a friend, I shall ever join the other departures we go to press, full appear in our next natural status. The agricultural inter-communication never before to have occasion than has this. In the area sown, in it was planted, in the varieties and in the tillage growing, we may precedence over all decided improvement large, inattentive rearing manner of harvest were practiced a few need a more satisfactory condition just passing than And boot, the grain is still forming and is quite sure of reaching maturity. We find that the blight is not restricted to us alone. In the San Jose valley, where wheat has long been a staple crop, we find grain considerably blasted and different from that with us in this respect: that the heads which are affected at all are blasted throughout. In the San Jose valley and near the Puente the blight commenced a week before the heated term, but has since become greatly accelerated, insomuch that the aspect is becoming somewhat serious. Something unusual with drying grain noticed in this valley, and also near the foot hills east and south east of us, is that the straw, though bearing lighter heads than usual, is breaking and bending to a considerable extent, making it necessary in some localities to cut with mowers exclusively. At the lower and middle Azusa, grain of all kinds was looking remarkably well, and although in visiting them the second time (after the dry winds) we found grain rapidly drying, there will probably be no greater trouble experienced than premature ripening—the result of hot winds which may in some cases cause shriveled grain. West of there, in the San Gabriel, Pasadena and Duarte regions, but little wheat is sown; most of what is planted is the seven-headed variety. This is raised pretty extensively at El Monte, Savanna, and on the broad plains of the Azusa, and gives all promise of an abundant yield wherever tried. As this variety is bringing fair prices, standing the present severe test very well and growing in popular favor of late, it would seem judicious for farmers to cease ignoring what gives promise of proving a remunerative and reliable crop. Near Pomona the hay crop is good, but most of the grain will be threshed. Grain at this place was so far ripened that the dry field but little damage started out and there are no idle hands to be seen on our streets. The Rev. F. Field returned from San Diego on Thursday last accompanied by his fair bride. We wish the happy pair every joy that this world can afford. We hear that the Presbyterians expect a Pastor from the North in time for next Sabbath. Mr. and Mrs. Poor are away on a visit to San Gabriel. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Marquis have left for their mountain apairy. Mr. Ulrich King had an accident which might have proved very serious. A few nights ago when at the Landing, he was stepping from a boat to the lighter, and missed his foeting and was precipitated head foremost into the hold of the lighter. He was taken out insensible and carried to a house near by where he remained until he revived, when he was brought home. He is now able to be about again, but is still feeling the effects of such a severe mishap. Mr. and Mrs. Leach, we hear, contemplate leaving for the East shortly. San Francisco Market.

Throughout our vicinity have encouraged than at presaffairs can relate though, numerous products that and even with this, the only assert, is not so hopement of the moment would love. A crop, is in most localius, almost a failure. Proving a sad misfortune, costs of our county were heat, and now the first this prop has gone from wheat as a marketable about what we have to face. Case with us alone, and prepared to flush the wing, thus reducing the surplus to the minimum, be bad. But unfortunately advantageous to ourselves, is. Owing to the effects just passed, there is no of our sister sections mane already firm and fair So for what there is to that reasonably remunerconfidently expected. That yield of threshed grain smilling article, it will yet need to any who may choose as many will undoubtedly yet all the claims for rearmers that other crops fields no more readily than lamites, and has heretokaken procedure over all all, however, contemplate The result of some cases cause shriveled grain. West of thiere, in the San Gabriel, Pasadena and Duarte regions, but little wheat is sown; most of what is planted is the seven-headed variety. This is raised pretty extensively at El Monte, Savanna, and on the broad plains of the Azusa, and gives all promise of an abundant yield wherever tried. As this variety is bringing fair prices, standing in the present severe test very well and growing in popular favor of late, it would seem judicious for farmers to cease ignoring what gives promise of proving a remunerative and reliable crop. Near Pomena the hay crop is good, but most of the grain will be threshed. Grain at this place was so far ripened that the dry winds did but little damage. Westminster and Garden Grove we find about on a par with us, and advises from Orange are to the effect that the wheat is down badly, blighted to some extent, dried and "cured standing." A friend living in that place informs us that some fields will not be harvested. The northern part of Santa Ana and vicinity suffers severely. In connection with this, we wish it known that in all of these places visited not one trace of rust was seen. The only place in the eastern part of Los Angeles county where we have heard of its appearance is near San Dimas and Mud Springs. So, while Sonora, among many other varieties, is passing through the season un-touched even by rust, we think that but little apprehension need be felt on account of this long-petted hobby. The kinds of wheat that we find universally standing best are the Australian and "seven-headed." These appear unusually hardy and, although ripening rather late, will give a fair yield this year. The A Propos, though looking remarkably fine a short time ago, seems to have suffered to a greater than common extent from the desert blasts. Rye, we find, is promising a good harvest. Abroad, there is a remarkably small area sown in this grain the present season, which is well for us; and more to our credit, Anaheim and vicinity presents decidedly the best prospect for a good rye crop to be found in the eastern part of the county. Corn is more advanced near the mountains than with us, but looks well everywhere. Castor beans are again receiving considerable attention and, on rich table-land soils, promise uncommonly well. Some excellent fields of flax were seen, and raising this article would seem to an unjudiced observer one of the best departures in which the farmer could engage. It is maturing well this season on dry lands and hillsides, producing a heavy yield of well-filled grains. It is observed to do much better on lands of this character than on the low-lands. On summing up, the result is about this: That with all our neighbors, we have suffered considerably from a disaster which, by way, has affected the whole State, and to some extent, the entire coast to Puget Sound. But wheat is the only crop seriously damaged and that this may be in a measure bridged over by converting it into hay for the supply of a firm Arizona trade. (It should be mentioned that a surprisingly small amount of hay is being made in most other farming districts, not a few of which will be obliged to import for local consumption.) Of the different varieties sown this season, the Australian and Seven headed are generally promising best. Other crops are looking well. In addition, it was noticed that no old ground was lying idle, but that on the contrary a vast area of new land has been brought under cultivation, all of which will give weight and probability to the belief that, general speaking, a good and full harvest may be reasonably expected.

I Wish Everybody To Know. Garden Grove Items. The effect of the disastrous wind of last week is plainly discernible in the tangled barley fields, where the heavily laden stalks of grain bowed helplessly before the scorching blast and are now being mowed for hay. If Arizona needs our hay, we need her for a consumer for the thousands of tons of hay now ready for market. Wheat, especially the Odessa variety, is largely a failure, and it is seriously questioned whether this part of the county will ever be a success in the producing of grain. Fruit, poultry and pork unwonted as we are to consider them as sole sources of revenue, seem destined to claim and hold this place hereafter, and perhaps the more speedily we acknowledge the fact and adapt ourselves to it, the better it will be for the prosperity of all. Dr. Fellows and Prof. Potter made us a short visit before leaving us for a trip to Oregon. We wish them a pleasant journey truly, with the single mental reservation that the drip, drip, drip of her weeping skies may send them back in haste to our sunny clime, content to cast their lot with us, who need them to keep us well in body and cheerful in song. Our sick folk are able to cheer us with their faces in the ordinary avocations of life, although there are certain ravages of severe illness still apparent upon their countenances and in the feebleness of their usually elastic step. The school closes to-morrow, June 4th. Total enrollment for year 83; average attendance about 50, until the hurry of work has diminished the numbers by calling out all old enough to ride a horse or handle a hoat. This fact has also entirely shorn of its glory the examination of classes, with which we had hoped to close the year. Westminster Items. The fogs and the dews we are having nightly are most beneficial to the wheat crop, and in our opinion we have no wheat looking as healthy as it is in this settlement. Corn is looking healthy also.
