When one reads the weather reports in the Eastern papers, the first question which obtrudes itself is why people willingly endure such a beastly climate when there is a State like California to flee to and escape the extreme winter weather. To show what the unfortunate people of the great State of New York have to endure, we quote from a New York paper of December 31st, giving an account of the state of the weather on the day previous: "Yesterday was the coldest day in this city since January, 1875, when the mercury stood at 6° below zero. At midnight, according to Hudnut's thermometer, the temperature was 8° above zero. By three o'clock yesterday morning it had fallen to 1° above; at 6 o'clock it was 2° below zero; at 9 o'clock 1° below, and at noon 2° above. The temperature gradually grew higher through the day, but not enough to make anyone think the weather balmy or mild. The cold was the most intense just as the great mass of workers were pouring into this city from Brooklyn, Jersey City and adjacent suburbs. They suffered "much, especially the thinly-clad shop girls, who shivered and danced to keep warm as they waited for cars and ferry-boats." "But few were prepared for the intense cold, and bare ears and noses suffered. It is a good while since so many frosted ears have been seen in New York. "We had at least twenty-five cases today," said a physician in a down-town Broadway drug store. 'Men and boys came in almost constantly from 8 until 10 o'clock with bleached ears. Some of them said that they had walked but six blocks. Many of the cases were bad. We applied snow or water to draw out the frost, and then a preparation.'" "The same was the experience of many other drug stores that a reporter visited. All had had a steady stream of frost-bitten patients, the great majority of whom had suffered as to their ears." Such intense cold weather as yesterday's 7 deg. below; at Stapleton, 8 deg. below. "The thermometer at various points along the Harlem and New Haven Railroad in Westchester county, at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, marked from 4 deg. to 11 deg. below zero. On the high ground at Hastings it went as low as 12 deg. below zero. "At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the thermometer in front of Levering's drug store, Jersey City Heights, stood at 10 deg. below zero, and at 9 o'clock the thermometer beside the Sheriff's office registered 1 deg. below zero. The car drivers facing the wind looked like snow images with the frost encrusting their eye-brows and beards and the snow in frozen cakes attached to their great coats. Many water pipes were frozen so that it was impossible to get water in many of the houses in Jersey City. The boiler in the kitchen of Mr. Jas. Horning at 23 Brinker-hoff street was frozen up, and when fire was started in the range the boiler exploded, shattering the range and tearing a hole in the wall. Julius Horning was struck in the face by a flying piece of the boiler and severely injured. "The temperature in this city yesterday, as indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut's pharmacy, was: 3 A.M., 1 deg. below; 6 A.M., 2 deg. below; 9 A.M., 1 deg.; 12 M., 1 deg.; 3:30 P.M., 5 deg.; 6 P.M., 4 deg.; 9 P.M., 4 deg.; 12 M., 2 deg. "There were great crowds on the lake in Central Park early yesterday afternoon, but the cold soon thinned them out. When ears were frozen the police rubbed on snow and sent the sufferers home. There were very few skaters in the evening." City Stables, Corner of Los Angeles and Center Sts. ANAHEIM. L.F. Lewis, -- Proprietor.

Some of them said that they had walked but six blocks. Many of the cases were bad. We applied snow or water to draw out the frost, and then a preparation.’ ‘The same was the experience of many other drug stores that a reporter visited. All had had a steady stream of frost-bitten patients, the great majority of whom had suffered as to their ears. ‘Such intense cold weather as yesterday’s is felt severely by the car drivers and conductors in Brooklyn whose car routes traverse the high hills which are swept by winds from the bay and ocean. The suffering endured by the drivers was very great. The handling of the iron brake, the car hook and the leather reins made the warmth afforded by gloves so feeble that constant action was necessary to prevent being frost-bitten. Additional exercise was necessary to keep the blood circulating in the feet. The men were wrapped up in comforters to the eyes, and passed through the day without pretending to hear the calls of passengers from by-streets. The car companies had many difficulties to overcome in the early morning on account of the snow drifts. A motor had to be placed before and behind each of the cars on the Broadway and East New York line to get the cars through, and upon nearly all of the other lines teams were doubled. The milkmen in the early morning suffered intensely. There was a rumor that one had been frozen to death upon his way from Flatbush, but it could not be verified. The policemen who were supposed to be on patrol in the early morning hours found shelter from the storm in warm halls, and took it for granted that upon such a night the burglar would be abroad. The letter carriers came with their rat-tat-tat earlier than usual, making quicker time upon their rounds. The ice in Prospect Park lake increased to five inches in thickness, and is in prime condition for skating. The record shows that the weather early yester-day morning was within one degree as cold as that of Jan. 20, 1873, which is the coldest day in the history of the Prospect Park weather bureau. The snow fall this month, the statistics show, is the largest of any in seven years, with the exception of one in 1876. “The thermometer at various places on Staten Island yesterday morning stood as follows; At Huguenot, 10 deg. below zero; at Tottenville, 8 deg. below; at Richmond, At Vassar observatory at 4 o’clock this morning it was 20° below zero. To-night the mercury is again dropping rapidly. The sleighing is fine. CINCINNATI, Dec. 30.—The Ohio River closed here at 5 o’clock this morning, and news received indicates that it is frozen over solid for quite a distance below. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.—Last night the mercury, which at 9 P.M. recorded 7 degrees above zero, took a rapid decline, until 7 o’clock this morning it marked 5 deg. below zero. It was reported still lower in various parts of the city; but this was the official report after the United States Signal Office. At 10 o’clock this morning it had risen to zero. A Wilmington, Del., it touched 8 deg. below Reports from exposed places along Blue Ridge, in the Lehigh and Schuylkill region showed an average temperature of from 18 deg. to 22 deg. below; the latter being reported at Lenhartsville, Pa. In the same region, most of the country roads are blocked by snow, and the farmers are pulling down the fences and driving through the open fields on account of the snow drifts making the roads impassable. RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 30.—The weather here to-day is the coldest since Jan. 18, 1875 when the thermometer reached 8 deg. below zero. To-day at sunrise the mercury marked the same figure. The snow lies very thick on the ground and sleighing is very fine. James Johnson, an aged colored man was found frozen to death near Atlee’s Station, nine miles from the city, on the Cheekpeake and Ohio Railroad. A faithful dog was found on his body and had to be removed by force. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 30.—We have having the coldest weather experienced since 1875. The thermometer was 19 deg., about zero this morning. The oranges on the train in this city are frozen, and it is feared that fruit up the river is badly damaged. About one-third of the crop has already been gutted. It is not known whether the trees injured. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 30.—Atlanta was itted last night and this morning by a few snow storm, the heaviest ever known in twenty years or even longer. Many stores closed in consequence of doors being bladed with snow, and little business is done on that account. The running of street cars is suspended. The suffering intense among the poor, who were unprepared for such weather. A coal famine is dictated, as the supply is very small. GAZETTE. JULY 15, 1881. NO. 14 DIVISION.

In a spirit of exact justice the vote of the electors of the proposed new county. The San Francisco and other points by rail and from two ports by commercial, are separate and distinct from those of the petitioners pray immediate and favorable action upon THE COUNTY OF ORANGE. Synopsis of the Bill to be Introduced in the Legislature—A Fully and Carefully Drawn Document. The bill to create the county of Orange, prepared by Victor Montgomery Esq., is a lengthy document, necessarily embracing much legal verbiage. The salient features of the bill are given in the following synopsis. The section defining the boundaries we quote entire: "The boundaries of Orange county shall be as follows: Beginning at a point in the Pacific ocean three miles south-west of the center of the mouth of the New San Gabriel River, proceeding up said river in a north by easterly direction to its point of divergence from Old San Gabriel River; thence in an easterly direction along the ridge of the Puente range until it intercepts the boundary line between San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties; thence along said boundary line south-easterly until it intersects the boundary line of San Diego county; thence along said boundary line south-easterly until it reaches the Pacific coast; thence in the same direction to a point three miles in said Pacific ocean; thence in a north-westerly line parallel to said coast to point of beginning." The bill provides that the Governor shall appoint five persons, residents of the county In the Southwest by the Pacific Ocean, in length 60 miles and width 1800 square miles or 1,152,000 acres of land; ample population wealth, the assessed valuation of the property within its county of Los Angeles, of which the proposed new county is set, and the lines of the new county will in no case pass within the county will have 3000 more population than required by the object of attempting to create the new county is to lessen comfort and convenience of all. In a spirit of exact justice the vote of the electors of the proposed new county. The San Francisco and other points by rail and from two ports by commercial, are separate and distinct from those of the ones your petitioners pray immediate and favorable action upon it.

This new article of diet, said to be largely used in France for medical purposes, has been lately patented by Edward Kokosinski of Paris. "The object of my invention," he says in his patent, "is to manufacture a beer which will possess special nutritive and hygiene qualities; and this object I attain by using whey in place of water usually used in the manufacture of ordinary beer," as more easterly direction along the ridge of the Puente range until it intercepts the boundary line between San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties; thence along said boundary line south easterly until it intersects the boundary line of San Diego county; thence along said boundary line south easterly until it reaches the Pacific coast; thence in the same direction to a point three miles in said Pacific ocean; thence in a north-westerly line parallel to said coast to points of beginning." The bill provides that the Governor shall appoint five persons, residents of the county of Orange, who shall constitute a Board of Commissioners to perfect the organization of the new county by dividing it into six townships, establishing three Supervisoral districts, establishing election precincts and appointing officers of election, etc. They shall also canvass the returns and announce the result of the election for county officers and location of county seat. The language of the bill in reference to the last-named matter is as follows: "At said election [to be held within sixty days from the first meeting of the Commissioners] shall also be submitted to the said qualified electors the location of the county seat of said Orange county, and the place receiving the highest number of votes therefor shall be declared by the Commissioners the county seat of said county." The officers to be elected are a Superior Judge, District Attorney, County Clerk who shall be ex-officio Clerk of the Superior Court and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Recorder who shall be ex-officio Auditor, Sheriff who shall be ex-officio Tax-Collector, Treasurer, Assessor, Superintendent of Schools, Surveyor, Coroner who shall be ex-officio Public Administrator, three Supervisors, one Justice of the Peace for each township,and Constables. The Board of Supervisors, after organizing shall appoint two residents of the county as commissioners to meet with two commissioners to be appointed by the Supervisors of Los Angeles county,and the said commissioners will determine the indebtedness of the county at the time the Act takes effect. In this connection the bill says: "After ascertaining the total amount of indebtedness they shall ascertain the total market value of the assets,包括 real estate，buildings，bridges和other property belonging to Los Angeles county. They shall also ascertain the assessed value under the assessment of 1880 in the territory hereby set apart to form Orange county. Then after deducting the total value from the total amount of indebtedness so as to ascertain the actual indebtedness,the proportion due from the county of Orange shall be ascertained as follows: As the total assessed value of property in Los Angeles county is tothe total assessed value of the part to form Orange county,sois the actual net indebtedness of Los Angeles county tothe amount to be assumed and paid by Orange county." The Board of Supervisors are authorized to rent,purchase or construct suitable buildings for use ofthe county officers,bonds Milk-Beer. This new article of diet, said to be largely used in France for medical purposes, has been lately patented by Edward Kokosinski of Paris. "The object of my invention," he says in his patent, "is to manufacture a beer which will possess special nutritive and hygienic qualities; and this object I attain by using whey in place of water usually used in the manufacture of ordinary beer, as more fully described hereinafter. To make my improved beer, or milk beer, I use the following proportion of ingredients—namely, thirty-three kilograms of malt, one hundred and fifty litres of whey, and sixty grammes of hops, preferably Bohemian hops. The whey should be freshly prepared. and be free from lactic fermentation and lactic acid. In brewing a thick wort is used, and the fermentation is conducted at a low temperature, the steps of the brewing process being otherwise the same as in brewing ordinary beer. A brewing of the above quantities of materials will produce about a hectolitre of my improved beer. The use of the whey in place of the water in ordinary beer results in imparting to the beer a greater quantity of albuminous matter and salts, which the milk contains, and which are identical with the salts of the blood, and thus renders the beer very nutritious. If desired, medicines such as quinine, tar, iron, etc., may be incorporated in the milk-beer during its manufacture. Wicked Women. INDIANAPOLIS, January 6.—The jury in the trial of Mrs. Brown for the murder of her husband returned a verdict this morning of murder in the first degree, and sentence of imprisonment in the Woman's Reformatory for life. NEWARK (N.J.), January 6.—Mrs. Mierhoffer, convicted with Frank Lammers, her paramour, of the murder of her husband at West Orange, in October, 1879, was found in the County Jail this morning. She was very pale and deeply affected, but walked to the gallows without assistance and met her fate without confessing or uttering a word. Lammers was hanged from the same gallows immediately afterward. W. J. Stafford's fruit drying establishment at Santa Barbara was burned on Saturday. The Board of Supervisors are authorized to rent, purchase or construct suitable buildings for the use of the county officers, bonds to be issued in payment therefor, net exceeding $20,000, and bearing eight per cent per annum interest. It is provided that the tax levy for no one year shall exceed two per cent on the one hundred dollars taxable property. The Supervisors are authorized to appoint some competent person to transcribe from the records of Los Angeles county such parts thereof as relate to property situated in Orange county. Orange county will be entitled to two Assemblymen and shall be attached to and form a part of the — Senatorial District. "For the purpose of regulating the compensation of officers, Orange county shall be and is hereby classified as a — class county, and its officers shall receive the compensation now allowed, or that may hereafter be allowed by law to officers of counties of the same class." (The Legislature having failed to classify the counties as yet, the class to which Orange county will belong cannot be determined.) The county will be entitled to seven Notaries Public. Delinquent taxes due to Los Angeles county at the time this Act takes effect from persons or property in Orange county, shall be paid to the proper officers of Orange county. In speaking of the adaptability of various sections of the United States for goat raising, many people have an idea that the Angora and Cashmere goats are identical. They are as distinct as the Marino is from the Leicester sheep. The Cashmere is valued for the production of a small quantity of extremely fine wool, which grows at the roots of the long course hair, with which the animal is covered, while the great value of the Angora is found in the high quality of its fleece, sometimes called mohair. Cashmere are found on the slopes of the Himadryas and in the valley of the Thibet and Gandanayang Angoras come originally from the neighborhood of Angora, in Asia Minor.
