Statistics of Grape Cultures Wine Production A member of one of the houses of this city estimates that wine this year in California accounts for 60 gallons. The estimates of the former years have been remarkably low. It is not easy to get at the ratio production but from soon state have at hand are inclined will be at the rate of 20 per cent for the next ten years. Some end of the next decade the win will exceed somewhat 20,000 which is an underestimate, because each year 20 per cent of cooling year, it will approach 30 tons. The raisin interest is rapidly, but it is not easy to the ratio of increase may be makers, however, have good satisfaction with their venture mental stage has been passed hercaster will make some figter of raisins. A member of movement of Agriculture at Washington raised the following table of statistics for 1880. It is said that statistics are based on answers to長期 out in November over figures for California that they are only approximating. The wine production of last year noted. There never has been which 13,000,000 gallons of wine made in California, although itsible that such an amount may year. The average annual State is set down by the standards.

It is probable that at the decade this State, including ritories, will furnish the bar and perhaps all consumer States. It is quite likely to be influential which will grape and wine produce via immigration sets from Northwest. It is a cold-tion. So much of it as does Pacific Coast prefers Washington and may yet go over into the vineyard-loving immigrant to California. Already wejected colony of Italians in the German experiment at known. The population in California has been reminiscent viticulture. In short interest, and is probably had the advantage of much edge, which has been tuned count. Germans and Italians viticulture peg to some other fruit-growing. While the migration is to the Northgrape-growing immigration hereafter to California, ready seen in the numbers which have recently been hills, and which are not yet figure in the statistics of quarter of a million of grazing their families, and India, and even better encourage pioneers in the business they will come in year by year intelligent understanding.

Statistics of Grape Culture and Wine Production. A member of one of the leading wine houses of this city estimates the production wine this year in California at 12,500,000 gallons. The estimates of this citizen in former years have been remarkably correct, is not easy to get at the ratio of increased production but from such statistics as we live at here are inclined to think it will be at the rate of 20 per cent in California for the next ten years. So that at the end of the next decade the wine production will exceed somewhat 20,000,000 gallons, which is each year 20 per cent over the preceding year, it will approach 30,000,000 gallons. The raisin interest is gaining ground rapidly, but it is not easy to predict what the ratio of increase may be. The raisin makers, however, have good reasons to be satisfied with their ventures. The experimental stage has been passed and California treat will make some figure as an exterior of raisins. A member of the Department of Agriculture at Washington has compiled the following table of grape and wine statistics for 1880. It is said that the statistics based on answers to 15,000 circumspect figures for California, it is found that they are only approximately correct, the wine production of last year is overestimated. There never has been a year in which 13,000,000 gallons of wine have been made in California, although it is just possible that such an amount may be made this year. The average annual yield for each state is set down by the statisticians as follows: | States | Acres | Gallons | Amount | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Alabama | 1,111 | 422,672 | $399,765 | SPONGE. There are some people who are always ready to approve of anything that is new. These are they who buy every new patent medicine and adopt every new garment that is advertised as being essential to the promotion of health. A few years ago they arrayed themselves from head to foot in undergarments of red flannel, not because they particularly liked flannel or admired red above all other colors, but because red flannel underclothing was a novelty, and hence had an especial claim on their attention. Relying on this tendency to buy and wear newly invented cloths, some artist, and it is to be feared, very unprincipled man, has invented underclothing made of sponge. The trusting public informed that only by wearing sponge underclothing can people hope to preserve their health and to live out, say, two-thirds of their days. The result is that hundreds of men and women, alured by the novelty of clothing made of sponge, are throwing aside their flannel, silk, or merino underclothes and buying the new and desiccant garments of sponge. Mr. Thomas Hewitt, who is one of the leading citizens of Wilkesbarre, is commonly spoken of by his fellow-citizens as a very "progressive man." There has not been a single new medicine patented within the last ten years that Mr. Hewitt has not bought it and either personally swallowed it or given it to his family. There is hardly a new variety of religion that Mr. Hewitt has not adopted, and he boasts that he is the only man now living who has kept up with Mr. Beecher and Mr. Frothingham, and has adopted every one of their monthly novelties of creed. His only daughter—for he lost his son two years ago by giving him a dose of "aner Preventive" by mistake for a dose of Broken leg Palliative—shares to some extent in her father's course of progress, and another of her own inclination or in con- The Longerly of the Orange. Some months ago we gave an essay, read before an Australian bot cultural society, claiming great longevity for the orange tree, and citing instances of aged trees. At a subsequent meeting there was a general discussion which is of interest. The points made were as follows: Mr. Mohan deplored the fact that writers had followed each other when discussing this subject. He was inclined to think that the orange would not live long in our limestone soil. Mr. A. McDonald said: "I am very glad this subject has been brought forth," as I think it is very desirable that the facts as far as possible should be known. That there are a few old trees scattered about the orange-growing countries in Europe may; I think, be admitted as true; but they are the exception, not the rule, or instead of individual trees we should know of forests of trees. It would be a very strange thing if out of the many millions of trees that must have been planted during the 600 years that the orange has been under cultivation in Europe there would not be some that reached a long age. Plants vary more than animals as regards the length of time they live; the animal can move about, but the plant grows up, lives and dies in the one spot; and where trees reach a long age it will be found, I think that they have got into places particularly favored by nature and circumstances as well; but what becomes of the great majority, taking into consideration that the orange tree has everything to recommend it, the beauty of the tree, the fragrance of its flowers, the value of its fruit, and the excellence of its wood? Dr. Sandley, in speaking of the order, says: "I know not of an order more interesting to man that can be pointed out." It stands to reason then, that the tree from the first would be largely planted, and that if in reality a long lived tree we should know of forests of trees instead of solitary specimens, one said to be growing in a box for over 450 years. It seems to me that the orange trees It will be seen from these figures that California is now producing more wine than all the other States of the Union. There is just one prominent wine State, although ten years hence there may be two or three more. It is probable that a pretty large viticultural interest will be developed in Arizona and New Mexico, and perhaps in Utah. It is remarkable that Ohio, which contained prominence in grape culture before California was heard of, except as a Mexican province, does not make much of a cigar now, falling below New York in the number of ares under culture, and below Missouri in wine production. The latter has too many years produced a tolerable red wine or mild charrette from the vineyards along the Missouri River, which are mostly in the hands of the Germans. The Ohio experiments have resulted in the production of two or three very good table grapes, which do not appear to be highly esteemed in California, because there are so many better sorts cultivated here. There are more than twenty varieties of grapes now cultivated here with success, which are so nearly semi-tropical in character that they cannot be produced east of the Rocky Mountains, and are not now found to any extent this country outside of California, and probably will never be cultivated extensively beyond this State and possibly the two or three Territories mentioned. The Pacific Coast States and Territories, including those portions where in the winter season the temperature rarely falls below 20 degrees, will finally produce the wine of the country, the average annual yield for each state is set down by the state tax局 as follows: - Alabama: 1,111 acres; 422,672 gallons; 839,745 amount - Arkansas: 893 acres; 72,750 gallons; 112,401 amount - California: 32,308 acres; 135,575 gallons; 4,046,805 amount - Connecticut: 64 acres; 5,336 gallons; 6,076 amount - Delaware: 125 acres; 4,650 gallons; 4,050 amount - Florida: 83 acres; 11,180 gallons; 15,415 amount - Georgia: 2,991 acres; 903,244 gallons; 1,335,521 amount - Illinois: 3,810 acres; 1,047,875 gallons; 809,547 amount - Indiana: 3,851 acres; 99,566 gallons; 91,719 amount - Iowa: 1,470 acres; 331,970 gallons; 346,308 amount - Kansas: 3,542 acres; 226,249 gallons; 190,329 amount - Kentucky: 1,850 acres; 81,170 gallons; 80,908 amount - Maine: 71 acres; 1,500 gallons; 2,850 amount - Maryland: 699 acres; 21,405 gallons; 19,151 amount - Massachusetts: 227 acres; 6,338 gallons; 10,050 amount - Minnesota: 2,266 acres; 62,831 gallons; 75,617 amount - Mississippi: 432 acres; 209,845 gallons; 310,532 amount - Missouri: 7,376 acres; 1,824,297 gallons; 1,320,059 amount Last week Tuesday there occurred at Wilkesbarre a decided thaw. Up to that time the sleigh had been excellent, but the sudden warmth of the weather caused the snow to melt, and produced quite a freshet in the small streams. It would, in these circumstances, undoubtedly have been the point of wisdom for Miss Hewitt and young Mr. Baxter to have postponed the sleigh-ride which they had agreed to take on Tuesday, but with the order of youth they refused to think of postponement, and started at 10 o'clock A.M. to ride thirty miles to the village of Beaver Dam and back again. The air was filled with moisture. A thick fog hung over the city, and the runners of the sleigh splashed the half-melted snow all over the buffalo which covered the laps of the happy pair. They, however, cared nothing for the thaw. They were exalted far above any perception of the weather. Half the thermometer been tour degrees below zero they would still have felt comfortably warm, and in spite of the tasty did not suffer from the increased heat. About 2 o'clock a curious phenomenon manifest itself. Miss Hewitt was growing perceptibly larger. Her attention was first called to the foot by the tightness of her dress and on taking temporary measures to remedy that evil she found that she was at least twice large in circumference as she had evinced at any previous time. Mr Baxter almost simultaneously discovered that his arm could no longer completely enclose his compartment and the awful truth that she was rapidly and visibly swelling them with terrible force. Mr Baxter suggested that it might be the result of indiscretion in eating dried apples and afterward drinking water, but the young lady indignantly denied that she had done so. The horses' heads were turned homeward, and at a swift gallop the alarmed young people drove in search of the nearest doctor. Miss Hewitt meanwhile grew with miraculous rapidity. She almost entirely filled the seat of the sleigh, and was gradually crowding Mr. Baxter into the bottom when a new horror manifested itself. Mr Baxter found that his left arm and left side were thoroughly wet, and that pools of water were forming on the seat. In his exertions he lashed the horse until they rushed over the road at a rate which made the sleigh jolt like a Long Island Railroad car. At every jolt Miss Hewitt was enveloped in a shower of water. She would then for a few moments occupy a little less room in the sleigh, but in a short time she would be stout as ever. A state of things so unprecedented and alarming would perhaps have driven the horrified Mr. Baxter into hopeless and permanent lunacy had not reached the doctor's house while he was yet off his reason. The doctor was not long in making a diagnosis of the case and in relieving the unfortunate visitors. He said that it was not enly unprecedented. Strange he informed them when dried and in the one spot; and where trees reach a long age it will be found. I think that they have got into places particularly favored by nature and circumstance as well; but what becomes of the great majority, taking into consideration that the orange tree has everything to recommend it, the beauty of the tree, the fragrance of its flowers, the value of its fruit, and the excellence of its wood! Dr. Sandley, in speaking of the order says: I know not of an order more interesting to man that can be pointed out. It stands to reason then, that the tree from the first would be largely planted, and that if in reality a long lived tree we should know of forests instead of solitary specimens, one said to be growing in a box for over 450 years. It seems to me that the orange trees always had to be cultivated and looked after, and for one that has lived to a very long age, many thousands must have died. I have not able myself to find any work that gives any definite information on the subject. The one quoted by Mr. Pascoe that I put the most value on is Don Jose de Can't letter to C. Moore, where he says that before the outbreak of the sagrina their orange trees in the Azores lived to 200 or 300 years; but the chief argument of his letter is that since the disease broke out in 1834 they have not been able to get their trees to live to any great age. The letter concludes with the words "we can now no longer count upon handling our orange trees over tourn children." Now it must be borne in mind that the islands of the Azores are particularly suited for the growth of the orange trees yet cannot with all their generations of experience keep them alive to be called old trees. The orange trees died off so in New South Wales that the government there sent Charles Moore over to Europe expressly to find out the cause of their dying and he reports that he saw their whole oranges going off, dying just as same as in New South Wales. And what is the experience of South Australia? Not that the orange tree is a very long-lived tree but very much the other way. The principal reason, however that I have for holding the opinion that the orange tree is not now naturally a long-lived tree is the great tendency of the tree to bear heavy crops of fruit young. I have myself at Para Parasick something like 50 doz. of oranges if a tree that I was told had only been planted five years. As a rule does not indicate a natural tendency toward long life but the reverse. In the vegetable world plants that bear flowers and seed abundantly die young—annuals for example. I believe vegetable physiologists are agreed that the cause of death in annually is bearing their flowers and seed in such profusion and I submit that the orange tree is subject to the same; and I think it would be well for the cultivator to bear in mind that he has this natural tendency of the tree to early decay to contend against so that he may use his best exertions to prolong the life of his trees and not to run away with the idea that his trees are going to live to hundreds of years, for I think the experience of the past proves that he will be disappointed. I may say that I don't think that bearing heavy crops young altogether accounts for trees dying young. One tree I had charge of at Torren's Park died; it was a fine, large tree, but had never borne much fruit. The trees round about it bore abundantly and fine fruit but this was a bad variety,and had never borne as much fruit as would make up one crop.I died; however,a well as those that had borne well; it The production of two or three very good table grapes, which do not appear to be highly esteemed in California, because there are so many better sorts cultivated here. There are more than twenty varieties of grapes now cultivated here with success, which are so nearly semi-tropical in character that they cannot be produced east of the Rocky Mountains, and are not now found to any extent within this country outside of California, and probably will never be cultivated extensively beyond this State and possibly the two or three Territories mentioned. The Pacific Coast States and Territories, including those portions where in the winter season the temperature rarely falls below 20 degrees, will finally produce the wine of the country, the raisins and all the semi-tropical grapes, except the few which for a time may be imported from Madeira. One can now, without much trouble, draw a red line on a map around this territory. It is as large as France and Spain, and probably has more acres suitable for grape culture. In a recent quotation of the New York market the retail price of California plums was set down at 60c a dozen. It is probable that at the end of the next decade this State, including one or two territories, will furnish the bulk of the raisins, and perhaps, all, consumed in the United States. It is quite possible that there may be influences which will greatly accelerate grape and wine production. The Scandinavian immigration sets strongly towards the Northwest. It is a cold-country immigration. So much of it as drifts towards the Pacific Coast prefers Washington Territory, and may yet go over into Southern Alaska. The vineyard-loving immigration will come to California. Already we hear of a projected colony of Italianans in this State. And the German experiment at Anaheim is well known. The population of foreign nativity in California has been remarkably successful in viticulture. In short, it has led in this interest, and is probably leading to-day. It had the advantage of much practical knowledge, which has been turned to good account. Germans and Italians take naturally by viticulture, pea to some other department of fruit-growing. While the cold-country immigration is to the Northwestern States, the grape-growing immigration will set strongly hereafter to California. Its influence is already seen in the number of new vineyards which have recently been made among the hills, and which are not yet old enough to figure in the statistics of production. A quarter of a million of grape growers, including their families, are find room in California, and even better encouragement than the pioneers in the business found. These men will come in year by year, drawn here by an intelligent understanding of their interests. A large foreign immigration drawn here by a special interest in viticulture would greatly accelerate the grape and wine production of this State. And there is now a fair prospect of just such an immigration. Chicago, July 13th.—Five men yesterday rode quietly into Riverton, Ia., and made their way to the bank of Davis & Sons. While one of the party engaged the attention of the cashier the others leaped over the counter, took $400), and invited the crowd to follow as they rode away. At Benicia, last Sunday night, William Grimley was hit by R. Maher with a brick, and died Tuesday. Maher is in jail. In his exertions he lashed horses until they rushed over the road at a rate which made the sleigh jolt like a Long Island Railroad car. At every jolt Miss Hewitt was enveloped in a shower of water. She would then for a few moments occupy a little less room in the sleigh, but in a short time she would be stout as ever. A state of things so unprecedented and alarming would perhaps have driven the horrined Mr. Baxter into hopeless and permanent lunacy had it not reached the doctor's house while he was yet murder of his reason. The doctor was not long in making a diagnosis of the case and in relieving the wounds of his frightened visitors. He said what it was not en rely unprecedented. Spongy he informed them when dried and pressed, still occupy a very small space, but when exposed to moisture in the shape of a heavy fig it will absorb water to such an extent as to swell many times beyond its original bulk. It is believed that Miss Hewitt has gone back to red flannel, and that Mr. Hewitt has written to the inventor of the sponge garments denouncing him as an imposter and threatening to bring an action against him for imperiling his daughter's health and subjecting Mr. Baxter to the danger of drowning in a sleigh. The vindictive spirit shown in some of the outrages in Ireland assumes a ludicrous form. The practice of obliging bailiffs to eat their processes has been exceeded in an instance which is reported from Moate, County Westmeath. A farmer residing near the town had the misfortune to find one of his cattle very ill. A village veterinary surgeon prescribed a copious dose of castor oil, but, unfortunately, the vender of the drug in the neighborhood had been "Boycotted." The farmer had no alternative but to lose his cow or enter the forbidden shop. He waited until nightfall, when he ventured into the shop and procured half a pint of the oil. He was not unobserved, however, and had not exceeded far on his way home when he was met by some Land Leaguers, who asked him if he did not know that Reilly's shop had been "Boycotted." He pleaded dire necessity, but in vain. The bottle was taken from him, his mouth held open, and the whole contents were drained slowly down his throat. He is not likely to incur again the penalties of the unwritten law. Since the attempted assassination of the President, Mr. Judd, one of the latter's secretaries, has recalled to mind the fact that last fall, soon after the October election, while the President was at Mentor, Ohio, he received from the then unknown Charles Guiteau the following letter, dated New York city, and written upon headed paper of the Fifth Avenue Hotel: DEAR GENERAL: I, Charles Guiteau, hereby make application for the Austrian mission. Being about to marry a wealthy and accomplished heiress of this city, we think that together we might represent this nation with dignity and grace. On the principle of first come first served, I have faith that you will give this application favorable consideration. The letter was shown to Gen. Garfield rather as a curiosity than as a communication to be answered, and he several times afterward referred to it half humorously as an illustration of unparalleled audacity and impudence. A new and most ingenious speaking machine has lately been exhibited by Herr Faber before the Physical Society, London. It is designed to more perfectly imitate, mechanically, the utterance of the human voice, by means of artificial organs of articulation made on the human model, and it is worked by keys like a musical instrument. A bellows made of wood and India rubber serves for lungs; a small windmill is placed in front of the bellows to give trilling sounds; the larynx is made of a single membrane of hippopotamus hide and India rubber; and a mouth with two lips, a tongue, and an India rubber nose complete the organs of the apparatus. Fourteen distinct sounds are uttered by it, and by combining these, any word in any language can be produced—also laughing and whispering. GAZETTE. NO. 41 Orange. PERTURBED RUSSIA. New York, July 16. — A special cable dispatch to the World from London says: Advices from well-informed correspondents at St. Petersburg report that Russia is fast drifting into anarchy. The Czar still keeps himself a close prisoner at Peterhoff. Occasionally, when business of State requires his presence at the capital, he leaves his fortress, enters St. Petersburg almost by stealth, and returns as quietly. The new Ministry under Ignatieff, has abandoned the promised reforms and is crushing out, by the most autocratic and high-handed measures, the hopes of the people for a representative Government and reconstruction of the municipal system upon a broader and freer basis. The peasants, although crops promise fairly well, are in a terrible plight. Officials, from the highest to the lowest, are sunk in corruption. The priests of the Orthodox Church are not much better, and militarism has reached a pitch of arrogance and also luteness unknown in the worst days of the Roman-Off regime. The Nihilists did not aggerate when they told the Czar the other day that there was no longer occasion for the use of dynamite, as the whole fabric of the Empire was about to explode. The startling reports recently made by the Imperial State Attorney, who was appointed to examine into the working of the police system in the Orenfurt department, and was stripped of his office because he exposed its frightful abuses too faithfully, have been printed, and are being scattered far and wide throughout the country. Some of the State convicts in Siberia, too, have found an underground way of sending their diaries to the revolutionary press, and these have a vast circulation. The Czar is either kept in ignorance of the critical condition of affairs, or is afraid to take action, and a revolution such as the world has never witnessed is not far off. A Reminiscence. The attack upon President Garfield revives a great many reminiscences. It has led to a recital of the history of the three Administrations in which Vice Presidents became Presidents on account of death in the Executive chair. It has also caused to be re-narrated the prominent incidents in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, with an occasional hint at the performances of General Garfield. The following from the Philadelphia Times will, we doubt not, prove interesting: It was the dreadful 15th day of April, 1865. A vast, tumultuous and passionate crowd was gathered near the Astor House, hoping that the fatal news was not true. Butler attempted to pacify the mob feeling that could be seen rising. Two unfortunate wretches had run counter to the sentiment of the mass by insinuating that the deed was well done. They were instantly trampled out of the semblance of humanity. Then the crowd, gloating in the first draught of blood, shouted, "To the World office!" The rush began and the result would have been frightful. But at that moment a flag was seen in the hand of a tall figure on one of the balconies. The surging crowd was checked. They grouped about the spot, and then a peculiar voice, loud, clear, and measured like a parson's, broke out in this astonishing apostrophe: Fellow-citizens—Clouds and darkness are round about Him! His pavilion is dark waters and thick clouds of the skies! Justice and judgment are the establishments of His throne! Mercy and truth shall go before His face! Fellow-citizens, God reigns and the Government at Washington still lives! The effect was infinitely beyond the mere words. The half preacher-like tone of the speaker, his large, earnest eyes and enraptured visage, produced an indescribable effect upon the seething, passionate crowd. All thought of carnage vanished. Everybody said, "Who is he?" It was James A.

The number of men and girls burned in the barn in the province of Koorks, Russia, was 119, instead of 19, as at first reported. These people were shut into a barn by the steward of the property called the "Bolgin," for refusing to work, and all were burned to death by a village mob setting fire to the building. One person arrested confessed to his share in the crime. St. Petersburg, July 10th. By an imperial ukase, granted at the suggestion of General Ignatheff on the 2d inst., the sentence of death passed on Hessy Helmanis has been commuted. Robbery of a Railroad Train. St. Louis, July 16. A Post special from Kansas City gives the following account of a train robbery on the Rock Island road, near Winston Station, last night: Two of the gang of robbers got on the front end of the baggage car, next to the engine; three were in the smoker, and two on the platform between the baggage car and smoker. There were seven in all. Conductor Westtall had passed nearly through the smoking car when he was shot, one ball passing clear through his body. He staggered out on the platform of the car and fell into the ditch. Thomas McLennan, or McCallough, a stonecutter, shot through the head, also fell off the car, and his body was found by the side of the dead conductor. When the robbers entered the express car Charles Murray, the messenger, was looking over some of his papers, and Frank Stamper, the baggageman, was sitting in a chair near the open door. Both men immediately were covered with four revolvers, and when Murray objected to handling over the keys of the safe, he was knocked down. It is thought there was about $15,000 in the safe, but the exact amount is not known, as the United States Express Company handles all express matter on the Rock Island road, and the train went out last night with what came in on the Atchsson short run, and also from Kansas City and points East as far as Harlem. After rifling the safe the robbers jumped from the train and escaped. The train went on to the next side track, where it waited for the eastern-bound passenger train, which took Westfall's body to Cameron. The Sheriff was notified of the robbery as soon as possible, and he immediately started in pursuit with a posse of about sixty men. No tidings have been received that they have overtaken the robbers. Great excitement prevails in the neighborhood, and the whole community is much agitated over the event. The officers of the United States Express Company refuse to name the amount of money taken from the safe, but say they think $15,000 too high. Conductor Purple of the Hannibal Railroad, who passed through Cameron with his train last night and stopped long enough to gather some of the stories says Westfall was shot while bus Fellow citizens—Clouds and darkness are round about Him! His pavilion is dark waters and thick clouds of the skies! Justice and judgment are the establishments of His throne! Mercy and truth shall go before His face! Fellow citizens, God reigns and the Government at Washington still lives! The effect was infinitely beyond the mere words. The half preacher like tone of the speaker, his large, earnest eyes and enraptured visage, produced an indescribable effect upon the seething, passionate crowd. All thought of carnage vanished. Everybody said, "Who is he?" It was James A. Garfield. The Arab who murdered M. Seguin, the French newspaper correspondent, was a singular example of the evils of superstition. When brought out to be shot (for the French did not impale him, as they did another assassin in Egypt during Napoleon's wars), he was so thin that it must have been difficult to hit him. He had refused all nourishment, lost there might be pork-fat in it, and if he had tasted pork-fat he was sure that he would never go to heaven—a thing on which he had set his heart. He was also much afraid that he would be beheaded, in which case also his future prospects would have been dubious. It was his belief that the Prophet hauls true believers up into the blessed life by the hair of his head. This resembles the idea of the Australian medicine-men, that the spirits lift them through the air by the pins which they wear in their nostrils. The murderer was much gratified when he heard that he was to be shot, a punishment which would not interfere with the benevolent action of the Prophet. The town of St. Peter, Minnesota, was visited by a cyclone on Saturday which left an appalling wreck after it, while the troubled air was full of debris and weirdly lit up by blazing balls of the electric fluid. Nearly whole town was destroyed. The Governor furnished State aid to the suffering people. Baltimore, July 16. Four more cases of lockjaw from wounds from toy pistols have occurred in this city. Three have proven fatal and four others are not expected to recover. This makes seventeen cases of lockjaw, resulting from use of toy pistols on the Fourth of July. Free of Cost.

The officers of the United States Express Company refuse to name the amount of money taken from the safe, but say they think $15,000 too high. Conductor Purple of the Hannibal Railroad, who passed through Cameron with his train last night and stopped long enough to gather some of the stories, says Westfall was shot while his back was turned to the assassin, and that McClennan, the stone-mason, was shot because, seeing the intention of the robber, he attempted to cut him down with a stone-trowel, the only weapon at hand. Conductor Westfall had been running the passenger train upon which he met his death a year. He had a wife and four children living near Gallatin, Mo., but he had not been living with them for some time. It is surmised that the robbery was perpetrated by the notorious James gang. The foundation of the Grangers' warehouse at Modesto collapsed. Damage $3,000. P. A. Laroche hanged himself at Fruit Vale, Alameda Co., on Saturday. The "Southern California and Arizona Holiness Association" will hold their first Holiness camp meeting in Greenback Valley, Tonto Basin, Arizona, commencing August 18th and continuing over two Sundays. Carlo Morrelli, passenger on the steamer Ancon, died while en route from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The deceased was a native of Switzerland and had been to Southern California for the benefit of his health. An elderly man, named B. Monahan, a new arrival at Petaluma, committed suicide by hanging. Monahan was a man of means, and it is supposed his mind was affected by a sunstroke which he suffered while traveling recently in Fresno county. Donald G. MacLeod, a young man for the past three years engaged with his brother in mining at Silver District, was shot and instantly killed near Yuma by a German named Billeck. Billeck claims to have acted in self defense, MacLeod first slapping his face, and then drawing a revolver. Immediately after the shooting Billeck procured a skiff at the river and went to Yuma and delivered himself over to the Sheriff. MacLeod was unmarried and of excellent family connections. His people reside in Chicago. Oh, What a Cough! Will you heed the warning? The signal perhaps of the sure approach of that more terrible disease, Consumption.
