In the fulfillment of our duties as Census Enumerator, we have visited a great many farms during the week, and as a result of our observations we can unhesitatingly assert that the crops in this part of the county will not suffer by comparison with those of the northern counties, if we accept as true the statements of the newspapers as to the condition of affairs in the northern part of the State. The hay crop is quite abundant and is of excellent quality; corn is promising well; the barley crop is fair. The wheat crop is coming out strong, as Mark Tapley would say. Much has been said and written of late adverse to Odessa wheat, and as the Gazette stood sponsor for that variety, it gives us more than ordinary pleasure to quote the opinions of various farmers with whom we have spoken relative to it, and who, although their fields are light, have candor and honesty enough to acknowledge that the fault is not with the wheat but with their own lack of knowledge concerning it. They all agree, with singular unanimity, that the Odessa wheat should be planted in November or the latter part of December at latest. It should be in the ground before the first rains of the season, or immediately after. Nearly all the early-sown wheat looks finely, and none of it looks as bad as the late-sown. We have as yet found no farmer who dissents from this view of the matter, and all expect to profit by the experience gained this season. To give an idea of the recuperative powers. The A. O. U. W. Social. The first social of Anaheim Lodge, No. 85, A. O. U. W., was given on Monday evening, and was more successful and seemed to give greater pleasure to the guests than the most sanguine member of the Lodge had dared to hope. It was the original intention of the Lodge to extend a general invitation to the public to be present, but this idea was abandoned for a number of reasons, chief among them being the fact that the hall was not of capacity sufficient to hold everyone whom the members would like to see there. The guests, therefore, comprised only the members and their relatives, together with several gentlemen and ladies who had generously consented to assist in the musical exercises of the evening. After the regular business of the lodge had been disposed of, the doors of the lodge room were thrown open, and in a few minutes the hall was completely filled, and the guests were welcomed in a fitting and appropriate speech by Master Workman Sorenson. He took occasion to briefly explain the objects and intents of the order, and gave a clear insight into its practical beneficial workings. A song by the Glee Club, under the leadership of Dr. E. L. Cowan, followed the address. Mr. Grimshaw read "Horatius at the Bridge," and Mrs. Lawrence and Mr. J. Hartung gave an instrumental duet, the former at the organ and the latter with the violin. Mr. J. D. Bicknell, of Los Angeles, was then introduced as Correspondence Westminster Items. We regret to record the death of Mr. Orvis on Tuesday morning last. The cause of death is a matter of discussion on our streets. Some say glanders, caught from a glandered horse in deceased's possession; others say erysipelas. If the former, the old adage "What is everybody's business is nobody's business" will apply here, or how would a horse known or reputed to be glandered be allowed to live for weeks or months within half a mile of the center of our town. The horse, we hear, is still in our midst. We beg to draw the attention of the proper authorities to this matter. We had a pleasant visit from a "beherder" to-day, who reports that the honey crop will be a light one, owing to the shortness of the season, as the sumach is now coming into bloom. An adult baptism by immersion was held in Mr. A. T. Taylor's reservoir on Saturday last, the Rev. F. Field officiating. The Mesra. J. and J. A. McFadden, who have been for the past two years carrying on a general store business here, have relinquished business, much to the regret of a large portion of the community, as their honest and straightforward way of doing business gave general satisfaction. We have seldom heard such universal sympathy expressed, and many hope with us to see them flourishing again. The meeting for considering Fourth of July arrangements will be held in the Hall on Monday evening. There is to be a Congregational church To give an idea of the recuperative powers, so to speak, of Odessa wheat, we may instance the fact that Messrs. Edward and David Evey expect to get fifteen bushels per acre from a field which a few weeks ago they thought not worth harvesting. Mr. B. F. E. Kellogg expects to get twenty bushels to the acre; Mr. G. G. Greeley from ten to fifteen bushels to the acre, and so on. Mr. Thomas Dunn has nine acres of Sonora wheat that will certainly yield twenty sacks to the acre, and Mr. J. C. Hill of Centralia has a field of Odessa wheat (early-sown) that is estimated will give 60 bushels to the acre. Other fields, whose owners we cannot at the present recall, will yield from ten to fifteen bushels to the acre. Compared with the extravagant expectations indulged in during the early part of the season, these figures seem insignificant, but they flatly contradict the oft-repeated assertion of a total failure of crops. Mr. J. C. Hill, the gentleman spoken of in the above paragraph, has a small acreage in Blue Stem wheat, a variety largely cultivated in Washington Territory, and which was thought to be impervious to rust. But rust has appeared upon it, which consigns it to the limbo of things undesirable in these parts. There is now in our office a magnificent bunch of wheat grown by Mr. S. L. King, of Garden Grove, which every one should look at. It was sown on November 16th, and the field from which it was cut will yield twenty-five centals to the acre. Only twenty pounds of seed to the acre was used in planting. Mr. King has also favored us with some wheat which was sown in March, and matured by irrigation, and some hybridized wheat which seems to possess the good points of several varieties. Mr. King, in common with others, believes in Odessa wheat, and believes in sowing it early in the season. All the vineyards in Anaheim and vicinity are in admirable condition, and a bountiful crop of luscious grapes is almost assured. Nothing responds more gratefully to care and cultivation than the noble vine, and the exceeding attention paid to the vineyards this season is evidenced by the wealth of bloom and foliage which engarilands each trunk. Utilizing the Malva. Readers of the Gazette will remember that we published about two weeks ago an article descriptive of a machine for separating the fiber from the marsh mallow, or with little labor. An adult baptism by immersion was held in Mr. A. T. Taylor's reservoir on Saturday last, the Rev. F. Field officiating. The Messrs. J. and J. A. McFadden, who have been for the past two years carrying on a general store business here, have relinquished business, much to the regret of a large portion of the community, as their honest and straightforward way of doing business gave general satisfaction. We have seldom heard such universal sympathy expressed, and many hope with us to see them flourishing again. The meeting for considering Fourth of July arrangements will be held in the Hall on Monday evening. There is to be a Congregational church social in the Hall, on Tuesday evening next; admission free; refreshments and ice cream for sale. There is to be another social of the Presbyterian church, same evening, at private residence. So we only want a ball and a temperance lecture in other parts of the town, to create a real pleasure boom and hackman's harvest !! Dr. McCoy with a large party, including the Rev. and Mrs. White, spent the day by the old Pacific on Wednesday last. Miss Leffler was thrown from her horse whilst returning from the beach last Saturday. We hear she is not seriously hurt, though confined to the house. We have received the following for insertion: Notice: "The ladies' social of the Presbyterian church will be held at the residence of Mr. Thomas Edwards, Tuesday evening, June 22nd. A cordial invitation is extended to all. A good social time, interspersed with refreshments, is anticipated. Also, previous to the Doxology, Sister Jones will pass the hat." "A holiness camp meeting will be held at Artesia, in the willow grove, beginning on Thursday, July 1st, to continue as long as the Lord directs. All come, and bring bed, bedding and tents." Notes on an Ocean Trip. Mr. P. Lyon of Westminster has handed us a letter, written by Thomas Padgett, who is now in Norfolk, Va. Mr. Padgett spent some time in Westminster, and the letter is a description of what he saw on the trip homeward. We take the following extracts: "We left San Francisco on March 9th on the steamer China. On the 16th we arrived at Mazatlan, where we took on board about $3,000,000 in bullion and Mexican coin. The oranges here are as fine and sweet as any I ever saw, and better than at any place on the whole route. On the 17th arrived at San Blas. This, some years ago, was one of the best business places on the Mexican Coast. A cotton mill has been located here for 30 years. Energy and enterprise would make this a great place, but the lack of it causes the place to do but a small business. There are rich mines near; fine valleys very rich, and will grow all tropical fruits in abundance, and with little labor. The hills and mountains abound in Mexican cedar, some of which is shipped for furniture and for cigar boxes. Notwithstanding these resources the people are miserably poor. On the 18th arrived at Marsannilla, a small town built by and around a fine, small lake inside; buildings and people the same as former places—the description of one would answer for all in the appearance of the town as well as of the natives. After leaving Marsannilla, we passed the wreck of the Golden Gate, one of the Mail Steamship Co's ships, that took fire and was run ashore in July, 1862. Before getting near enough to run aground the engineers were driven by heat and smoke from their posts and could not get in to stop the engine, and as boats were lowered or people leaped into the water the wheels drew them under, and Utilizing the Malva. Readers of the Gazette will remember that we published about two weeks ago an article descriptive of a machine for separating the fiber from the marsh mallow, or "malva," as it is called here. After the publication of this article, Mr. W. R. Olden wrote to the inventor, Charles Taylor, of Englewood, N. J., telling him of the luxuriance with which malva grows in this State, and enclosing some of the fiber. He has received from Mr. Taylor the following letter in reply: "I have yours of the 27th ult., and maps and fibre; they are welcome, and I thank you for them. I see no reason to doubt the entire success of our process and machines. Our plans for developing this business are not matured. The newspapers and our Board of Labor are ahead of our movements. As soon as the marsh mallow is ready we shall work a machine in Trenton under the auspices of the above Board. Their Secretary is quite sure that we are to largely add to the resources of New Jersey, and the exhibition in Trenton is desired by the Board more to stimulate the farmers than to test the machine. My own impression is that the southern part of the "Pacific Empire" will prove to be more interested in this thing than the State of New Jersey. My associate, Mr. Blake of Newark, (as well as myself) has his hands already full, also we should have given more attention to this new enterprise. If Mr. Taylor's invention proves to be successful, it will inaugurate an industry of vast importance to this State; and the malva, which is at present one of the most vexatious and annoying weeds our farmers have to contend against, will possess a value second to no other production of the soil. A census of Sitka, Alaska, taken April 25, 1880, shows the total population to be 450. Americans by birth—69 men, 11 women, 31 children; by trestly—23 men, 133 women and children. Following are the nationalities of the foreignerborn: Ireland 31, Scotland 3, Germany 15, Austria 6, Canada 4, England 12, Turkey 1, Finland 1, France 1, Norway 2, Switzerland 1, Newfoundland 1, Sweden 1, The Ancient Order of United Workmen, as an order or an organization, is of the least possible importance in the world; it is only valuable and worth preserving as a means to do certain work—it is a machine to work by. It will not last a generation unless we lay hold of the principles that underlie the order and practice them as well as inscribe them on our gate posts. "Our present duty is to work. We stand alone in the world. We are distinct in our outlines, and we have made great promises. Our principles are sublime, and we have nothing to do with politics or religion. We are rapidly marshalling our legions of strong and trained men. By care and wise counsel we will soon be a great conservative force in the nation—conservative by the force of our teaching and our influence. Men everywhere that are weary with the failures of the past and sore with fruitless conflict, are wheeling into line with us, and we must not only help them in temporal matters, but we must lift them up to a higher plane of citizenship, and make them better men." Mr. Bicknell's address was attentively listened to and appreciated. Another splendid song by the Glee Club was followed by a short address by Mr. G. C. Hall, after which Prof. Finck gave a guitar solo. After a song by Mr. Grimshaw the audience adjourned to the spacious hall below stairs, where a most bountiful and elegant lunch was served. After supper there was more music and at the witching hour of midnight the good-night song was sung by the members and the audience dispersed. New York, June 16.-The following seems to explain itself: Utica, N. Y., June 15.-Hon. J. Thomas Sprigge, Dear Sir: My name has been spoken of in connection with the nomination to be made at Cincinnati next week, and as you are the delegate from the district in which I live, I ask you in my behalf to state that I am not a candidate for any nomination to be made by that body nor could I accept such nomination if the Convention should see fit to present my name to the public. I do not suppose there is the least probability of such action, or that my name will be presented, but I deem it proper to send you this letter to be used if any question should come up about my position or nature. I am truly yours. Some of which is shipped for furniture and for cigar boxes. Notwithstanding these sources the people are miserably poor. On the 18th arrived at Marsannilla, a small town built by and around a fine, small lake inside; buildings and people the same as former places—the description of one would answer for all in the appearance of the town as well as of the natives. After leaving Marsannilla, we passed the wreck of the Golden Gate, one of the Mail Steamship Co.'s ships, that took fire and was run ashore in July, 1862. Before getting near enough to run aground the engineers were driven by the heat and smoke from their posts and could not get in to stop the engine, and as boats were lowered or people leaped into the water the wheels drew them under, and others who would have escaped were taken by sharks. 186 perished; some were washed ashore terribly mutilated. The second assistant engineer of the China is one of those who escaped, to whom I am indebted for particulars. We sighted Colima volcano, 1203 feet high, smoke plainly visible. There are a number of volcanoes, but the atmosphere was so foggy and smoky that we could not see them, which we regretted exceedingly. We are now in the Tropics, lat. 17° 18', weather warm, 20th came to anchor at Acapulco in a beautiful harbor between the hills; the water is deep; no river empties into the bay; and the ebb and flow of the tide fails to keep the water pure, and when stirred up by the ship, the stench was almost intolerable. We stayed here three days, took on water and 500 tons of coal for the steamer, and landed several hundred tons of Anthracite coal, in sacks, to be packed on mules to the interior some 60 miles for smelting ore. We received two loads from lighters, of Spanish hides and a large amount of rubber for Amsterdam via New York. There is not a wharf on the coast even at Panama. All business is done by lighters. There are a few here who can talk English. We found a Polander named Henry Kaston who has been here for 31 years. He is married to a native; has 40,000 acres of land; would sell 10,000 or 20,000 cheap if a colony would come and settle on it, strong enough to protect themselves from the bands of natives that raid on settlers and take what they have and their lives as well. Here we see tropical fruits in abundance at Mr. Kaston's; cocona nuts; chocolate; coffee; pine-apples; mangoes; alligator pears; bananas; oranges; lemons; limes and many others. Two crops of corn will grow in one season. Euston says he has a good mine near, but the natives are good for nothing, and he cannot get a superintendent since the natives killed one that he had some years ago. Says his mines paid enormous profits, and he would like to have a good man to superintend it now. There are no plows used; the natives will not use them. They have a shovel somewhat like the shovel of a shovel plow, to which long, and by pushing it is intended GAZETTE. 19, 1880. NO. 36 Impendence Master Reme. Record the death of Mr. morning last.

The bay would cover a space of perhaps 500 acres and is very deep; the inlet widens in a semi-circle so that nothing but the hills can be seen. The entrance is about 60 rods wide. It is very warm here, warmer than it is 10° nearer the equator. There were some 30 or 40 white persons settled in and around here when the French invaded Mexico. The natives killed or drove out all but two as far as I could learn. The Germans have most of the business on the Mexican coast, and they get along with the natives tolerably well. The English they can tolerate, but the Americans and French they despise. After leaving Acapulco we came to the Gulf of Tehantapec; had a rough sea, waves occasionally dashing all over the upper deck. Every one who could get seasick embraced the opportunity. On the 25th we passed Champico, Guatemala, said to be the best place known for raising coffee, raising a quality now worth $19.00. The next place we anchor at is San Jose, the handsomest place I have seen on the coast. Much of the land appears to be covered with timber, ma-hogany and other valuable wood. The hills timbered in the distance, the green foliage on the mountains seem to reach up to the blue sky, until they meet and blend. Our next stopping place is Libertad, San Salvador. Very high wind and the subscriber was seasick and indisposed to take note of anything until we anchored off Panama, distant from San Francisco, 3424 miles. We find an old town similar to Mexican towns; it is principally built up of large brick, and seems as though there might have been some thrift at one time, but they have had fires at different times, and I think it would be safe to say that one fourth of the houses are burned out and the brick walls left standing, one of many monuments of thriftlessness. Details of a Trouble Disaster. New York, June 12.—The steamboats Stonington and Naragansett were in collision last night on Long Island Sound, near the Connecticut river. The Naragansett took fire and sank. Stonington, June 12.—The steamer Stonington arrived at 6:30 this morning with about fifty survivors of the Naragansett. The bow of the former is stove in nearly to the water line. She struck the Naragansett at 11:30 on the starboard side, forward of the wheel-house. The shock burst the gas tank, and fifteen minutes afterwards the Naragansett was on fire, and soon sank. The steamers New York and Providence came to her assistance, and all the boats and life-rafts were put in service. Two hours elapsed before the last passenger was picked up. The passengers say the officers and crew of the Naragansett behaved with great coolness and nerve. On the arrival of the Stonington, the village was surrounded, and women hastened with clothes and assistance. Twenty-five women were on board in their night clothing. One died before reaching here, from the shock, and the body has not yet been identified. One man also died, the Rev. E. B. Lookwood, of the 68th St. Methodist church, who was on his first visit East. It is generally agreed among the survivors that of a passenger list of 300, the larger number must have been lost, as the water around the burning steamer was alive with struggling people clinging to rafts and every conceivable thing. Most of the women brought here were in the water several hours. One lady had about $3,000 in her valise, which was lost. Two ladies on the steamer Stonington died after being picked up. Their remains await identification. It is feared that most of the passengers in the berths below the main deck had not time to Considering Fourth of will be held in the Hall.

We find an old town similar to Mexican towns; it is principally built up of large brick, and seems as though there might have been some thrift at one time, but they have had fires at different times, and I think it would be safe to say that one fourth of the houses are burned out and the brick walls left standing. One of many monuments of thriftlessness. With proper energy, all the buildings could be rebuilt and utilized. We start on a train of 11 cars across the Isthmus, 47 miles; in four hours reach Aspinwall, a town containing some white people; many of the natives speak English. It is pleasantly located and has much apparent thrift. We take in the town as is our custom. The railroad on leaving Panama follows the course of the Rio Grande river about 10 miles to the summit; then descends the Obispo river; leaving that, follows the general course of the Chagres river to within a few miles of Aspinwall. There is very little heavy road on the route. There are several varieties of trees on the route with which I am unacquainted, and found others equally ignorant, which helped me out somewhat. The houses on the outskirts of Panama and along the route are made of a frame of bamboo poles nailed upright and covered with brush and a kind of grass, a good, cool summer house, excepting when they have those heavy rains common in that climate. How they get along then, deponent saith not. We find in Aspinwall a three eided monument erected in honor of Henry Chanucey, John L. Stephens and Wm. M. Aspinwall, the moving spirits of the project of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by railroad. We take aboard the steamship Aspulco ten car loads of bananas taken from the plantations through which we have just passed. A Point in Vineyard Practice. We had a pleasant conversation about vines on Monday with T. L. Grigaby, of Yountville, one of the leading viticulturists of Napa county; a man who spends nearly all his waking hours in working among vines or in thinking about the best way to do the work. As Mr. G. has about 200 acres in vines and perhaps the best wine cellar in the county, he has certainly enough to keep one man busy both with hand and brain. Mr. G is now adopting a practice with young vines which he believes produces a better vine than the old method. When a young rooted vine is set in the vineyard there is a joint at the top from which start several shoots, one of which is generally led up and headed off above at the height the stump is desired to stand. The other shoots are lopped off, and the strong sucker which usually starts from an eye below the ground is also cut off beneath the surface. The result is that there is near the ground a gnarly knob formed by the cut end of the original cutting and the shoots which are cut away. These exposed cut surfaces are liable to rot and always make a rough bunch in the vine, even if harmful decay does not set in. While Mr. G has been scraping around the vine to cut off the lusty sucker, in order to build up a vine from the unsightly knob on board in their night cloak. One died before reaching her from the shock, and the body has not yet been identified. One man also died, Rev. E. R. Lockwood, of the 68th St. Methodist church, who was on his first visit East. It is generally agreed among the survivors that of a passenger list of 300, the larger number must have been lost, as the water around the burning steamer was alive with struggling people clinging to rafts and every conceivable thing. Most of the women brought here in the water several hours. One lady had about $3,000 in her valise, which was lost. Two ladies on the steamer Stonington died after being picked up. Their remains await identification. It is feared that most of the passengers in the berths below the main deck had not time to save themselves. Providence, R.I., June 12.-Passengers of the Naragansett estimate number lost at fifty, and the clerk places it at thirty. New York, June 12.-The purser of the Naragansett stated that there were not more than 300 passengers on the boat, and the loss cannot exceed fifty, as it is known that more than 200 were brought to this city, and a large number were taken back to Stonington. It is also known that the schooner which came up sent out boats and picked up several people. A passenger and a naval cadet were swimming about for over an hour before they were picked up. One young man was seen to deliberately shoot himself when cries of fire and that the boat was sinking were raised. The report of a pistol was also heard in another direction. A deck hand of the Naragansett says he jumped overboard as soon as the collision took place, and clung to the broken spar; he saw a boat lowered from the Naragansett overturned and the occupants, he thinks, all drowned. In five minutes after the collision there were five feet of water in the hold, and in ten minutes the steamer was burned to the waters' edge. An old lady struggling in the water was found to have an eight months old baby clasped in her arms, her grandchild. The shrieks and cries of terror of men and women were terrible. A raft was made and persons crowded upon it. Ropes thrown from the raft were eagerly clutched and frantic efforts made to reach it although weight of the people sunk it six inches under the water. It was finally taken in row by a row boat. Leonard of Booth's Theater, one of the passengers, condemns strongly the officers and crew of the Naragansett. The captain was first to spring for a life-boat. A Mrs. Osborne threw a six year-old child into a life-boat and then jumped from the main deck and was rescued. She had only her night clothes on, and the child was naked. The screams were heartrending and continuous. Some of the passengers think 150 must have been lost. Wives, mothers, husbands, children, parents, all mourn lost ones in tones never to be forgotten. Some children were rescued stark naked, while very few women had anything on but their underolothing. A deck hand in a life-boat beat the fingers of an old lady who was desperately clinging to the side of the boat. She begged to be saved, but was finally compelled to let go her hold, and was probably drowned. It is said that officers did not let the passengers know true state of affairs, and many women were induced by them to return to their staterooms, thereby losing their lives. A Good Book.
