WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY JULY 23, 1881 Had the writer of the article on Queer Signs in Sunday's "Chronicle" seen the Canadian paper which at the present writing lies on our desk, he would have quoted the following from its advertising columns: "Mr. Prust, Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, Dealer in Furniture and Issuer of Marriage Licenses." WELLS; FARGO & CO. have issued the following circular to agents, which conveys some information which the public ought to know: "The mutilation, abrasion and defacement of silver coins is practiced to so great an extent, that such coins are now rejected by the Mint, banks and business houses in this city; therefore, agents and employes of this Company must refuse to accept such coins. If any are remitted, they will be returned at the expense of parties sending same, as to re-mint damaged subsidiary coins (the only way to dispose of them satisfactorily) entails a loss of twenty per cent." The Indians on the Navajo reservation, in New Mexico were under the charge of Galen Eastman sometime ago. He was a Presbyterian minister, but that fact did not deter the Indians from getting "down" on him and threatening to kill him. Eastman was removed and a military officer placed in charge of the reservation; the Indians quieted down and affairs generally went on smoothly. But Eastman again appeared at the reservation and assumed control, under orders from the Interior Department, and in a few days he had given offense to his charges and everything POPULATION OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY. Census bulletins, containing a statement of the population of the different counties in California, have been received at this office. Following are the returns for Los Angeles county: Anabeim township, including the town of Anabeim 1,469 Anabeim town 833 Azusa township 1,874 San Jose township 1,874 El Monte township 1,313 Fountain Valley township 143 La Ballona township, including the village of Santa Monica 2,493 Santa Monica village 417 Los Angeles city, co-extensive with Los Angeles township 11,183 1st ward 2,311 2d ward 3,375 3l ward 2,618 4th ward 1,574 5th ward 1,305 Los Nietos township, including the village of Downey 3,241 Downey village 237 San Antonio township 1,679 San Fernando township, including the village of San Fernando 1,305 San Fernando village 174 San Gabriel township, including the village of Pasadena 1,517 Pasadena village 391 San Juan township, including the village of San Juan Capistrano 902 San Juan Capistrano village 376 Santa Ana township, including the following towns 3,022 Orange town 679 Santa Ana town 711 Tustin town 227 Silverado township 412 Soledad township, including the village of Newhall 412 Newhall village 61 Westminster township 961 Wilmington township, including the town of Wilmington 1,865 Wilmington town 911 The total population, according to the above table, is 33,379. But there can be no question that the population of the county has increased fully 10,000 since the census was taken. The enumerators were in the field at a time of great depression in this county. Nearly every industry was at a low ebb; and we have personal knowledge of the fact, (having taken the census of this township), that in fully one-third of the homes visited, one or more of the male members... The Chinese Government, which broke through its policy of seclusion a year or two ago, sufficiently to send over a number of young men to study at Harvard College, has got over its spasmodic attempt at progress and called the students and abolished the Educational Commission. The step has been taken because of the fear upon the part of the home authorities that the progress made by the students in matters outside of strictly educational work in schools is not to be of advantage to China's future. The young men who have come here only for the purpose of learning our language in order to have the free advantage of our schools, have gone so much farther in their advances in all directions that it has attracted the attention of the home-rulers. The whole tendency of the movement has been to liberalize the students. This is what the home authorities do not want, as they see in it grave possible complications in the future. A large amount of money has been expended since the work was begun in 1872. At the present time the expense to the Chinese Government in taking care of the students alone, saying nothing of the contingent expenses, are over $100,000 a year. The members of that religious sect which believes that the end of the minister, but that fact did not deter the Indians from getting "down" on him and threatening to kill him. Eastman was removed and a military officer placed in charge of the reservation; the Indians quieted down and affairs generally went on smoothly. But Eastman again appeared at the reservation and assumed control, under orders from the Interior Department, and in a few days he had given offense to his charges and everything is again in turmoil. Word has reached Washington that Eastman's life is in danger; that the Indians are arming and assembling in formidable numbers. And what, dear reader, do you think was the causes which gave rise to all this commotion among a tribe numbering six thousand bucks? Simply because Eastman endeavored to force the Indians to go to church and stop using tobacco!

The President is recovering from his wounds and will soon be removed from the White House to a cooler and more desirable locality in which to convalesce. A New Comet Discovered. Rochester (N. Y.), July 16.—Dr. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, yesterday received a letter from J. M. Schoeberte of Ann Arbor, Mich., announcing that he has discovered nebulous matter right ascension, 5h. 48m., and declination north, 38 deg. 45 min., but daylight obscured its identity. Dr. Swift this morning reported that he had discovered the matter in the constellation Auriga, and that it is quite bright, being larger and more luminous than the one discovered May 1st by Dr. Swift. Its center is strongly condensed, and its motion apparently very slow. It cannot be ascertained if it is going directly towards or from the earth. The comet is telescopic. This is the fourth comet discovered since May 1st. Dr. Swift thinks, from the present position of the comet, that it is the expected comet of 1812. It is moving very slowly towards the northwest. Schoeberte put in a claim for the $1200 Warner prize. Alfred Stagg has been arrested at San Jose on a charge of felony of the most atrocious nature. It seems that Stagg came to the ranch of J. M. Owen, at Coyote station, two weeks ago, for work, which he obtained, being employed in Owen's dairy. Saturday he became engaged in a quarrel with a fellow-employee, Irving Isham, whom he attacked with a hammer. A fight was prevented, but Stagg declared he would kill Isham if he had no reason hum. But there can be no question that the population of the county has increased fully 10,000 since the census was taken. The enumerators were in the field at a time of great depression in this county. Nearly every industry was at a low ebb; and we have personal knowledge of the fact, (having taken the census of this township), that in fully one-third of the homes visited, one or more of the male members of the family were absent—the most of them in Arizona. These wanders have nearly all returned, and added to the new population, would give, in our opinion, a total of about 45,000 souls in the county at the present time. Some progress has been made at Albany during the week. A successor to Platt has been elected in the person of Warner Miller. The last ballot for a successor to Conkling stood: Lapham 68, Potter 45, Conkling 28, Woodford 1; necessary to a choice, 72. The Lapham men confidently predict an ultimate victory. The President is recovering from his wounds and will soon be removed from the White House to a cooler and more desirable locality in which to convalesce. A New Comet Discovered. Rochester (N.

These wanders have nearly all returned, and added to the new population, would give, in our opinion, a richly rewarded and Trabuco be able mining district. There is an old 65 or 70 years old gon, California, 50 years ago. He these same hills had no idea they he found traces staked off claiming Black Hills; here ona Territory; no dozen prospects of valuable (until in this district).—did you ever had visited even in the country after "claims," who did object for war so many years to be reached. Is to constitute has discovered rock which he to best now He has interestthe canyon whofilms and buprise,and togetherimmediately,bothand have it fhundreds of doenthusiasiatic dsearch for hiddenend in this entitle The members of that religious sect which believes that the end of the world is close at hand must find great comfort and consolation in the comets, cyclones and other phenomena which prevail to a great extent just now. They hold that the period immediately preceding the earth's dissolution is to be marked by an elemental war which shall cause unbelievers to quake and occasion much suffering and perturbation of spirit among the sons of men; and finally the elect will be snatched up on high and the earth, with all that therein is, given over to total destruction. In the anarchy which prevails in Russia, in the general uneasiness which pervades Europe, in the murder of the Czar, the attempted murder of the President, the increase of crimes and accidents, the prevailing of cyclones and the number of comets—they see confirmation of their interpretation of the scriptures, and their belief in the final consummation is strengthened. Thus, the very incidents which give sorrow to many good people, or which awaken apprehension or curiosity, as the case may be, are looked upon with joy and gladness by the sect we have mentioned, and it is to them evidence that the reward of a virtuous life is soon to be bestowed upon them. Alfred Stagg has been arrested at San Jose on a charge of felony of the most atrocious nature. It seems that Stagg came to the ranch of J. M. Owen, at Coyote station, two weeks ago, for work, which he obtained, being employed in Owen's dairy. Saturday he became engaged in a quarrel with a fellow-employee, Irving Isham, whom he attacked with a hammer. A fight was prevented, but Stagg declared he would kill Isham if he had to poison him. A number of men employed in the dairy are boarded by Owen. The milk used by them, as also by Owen's family, is taken from a large vat where the daily yield of sixty gallons is poured. Yesterday morning at breakfast the men who used milk in their coffee noticed a very bitter taste, which was complained of. The Chinese cook, finding the fault to be in the milk, gave some of it to two dogs, when both died in a few minutes. A quantity of the milk from the vat was then brought to San Jose, where Dr. Caldwell analyzed it, finding strychnine in it. The suspicion at once fell on Stagg, who was arrested on complaint of Owen. CINCINNATI, July 17.—The weather to-day is the coolest in the last sixteen days. In seven days, from July 10th to July 16th inclusive, the deaths from sunstroke were 264, and from excessive heat 150, making 414 deaths. The greatest number from these causes was on July 14th, which were 86. These figures are official. During the same time the deaths from other causes were 153. LONDON, July 16.—A Berlin correspondent says: A law student of the University of Bonn has just been killed in a duel, and another student, now in the hospital, hopefully wounded. A student in Berlin a few days ago had his nose slashed entirely off in a contest with sabers. Scarcely a week passes but we hear of some such brutality, often ending in death. CHICAGO, July 18.—The loss by the cyclone at New Ulm, Minn., is estimated at from $250,000 to $300,000. The track of the tornado was forty miles long by one mile wide, and a full list of the killed and wounded is not yet obtainable. About a dozen lives are now known to be lost. SANTIAGO CANYON ITEMS. EDITOR GAZETTE — During a trip to the Santiago Canyon in the early part of the week, we gathered the following items which may be of interest to your readers: Three young men have been for some time prospecting for coal in a gulch about two miles from the Railroad Co.'s mine, and have met with very good indications. They commenced by sinking a shaft in the middle of the gulch, and were down some 15 feet in solid rock of a tolerably soft and porous nature, although powder had to be used continually. At the depth mentioned they drilled a hole several inches down into the rock, intending to set off a big blast. On withdrawing the drill a stream of water gushed out flowing some 7 or 8 inches above the mouth of the opening. It continued to flow until those at work were driven out of the shaft. When we saw the "well" there was about nine feet of water in it. The shaft has, of course, been abandoned, and the prospectors are running in a tunnel some distance above. A beekeeper, whose house is only some 200 yards from the place, proposes to utilize the artesian well by conducting the water in pipes up the shaft and down the gulch to his house. The water has a mineral taste which makes it undesirable for cooking purposes, but it is good for washing purposes and for stock. The thermometer registered 98 degrees in the shade up here one day last week. A rattlesnake 41 feet long and having 9 rattles and button was among our captures. A gun did it. Take no risks. The beekeepers say they will have no surplus honey this season, but they expect the bees to pull through in good condition. The percentage of increase was very small this year. Quite a number of townspeople are spending a two or three weeks' vacation in this and the adjoining canyons, and the beekeepers have all the guests they can accommodate. Many camp in the open air. The Santiago Gold and Silver Mining Co. are looking for a man who understands the putting up and working of a Mexican ore furnace. It is the intention of the company, if a competent man can be found, to put up a small furnace on their mine in this district and work up some of their ore and fairly test its quality and value. The men who are to lay the pipe for the Santiago Ditch Company have commenced work. Several hundred feet of the pipe is maintain a daily mail as heretofore. But why the public should be appealed to, we do not know, as we feel sure that there are those in the community who would continue to carry a daily mail for the same amount as is now paid for a tri-weekly one. Horse trading, like other business here, is very dull just now. But we admire the energy of "The Boss," who, after looking around for horses and finding none, to keep his hand in, traded the doors of his house with a neighbor for other doors. Mr. McPadden had a runaway on Wednesday night. His wagon was considerably broken, and we hear he is a good deal bruised. GARDEN GROVE ITEMS. A new arrival at Mr. James Young's; its a girl. Mr. John Sinclair started for Tenn., last week, intending to spend three months in that land of "thunder storms" and "twisters." Mr. Chaffee and wife and Mr. Hough and wife, in company with Santa Ana friends, are off on a camping trip. For some reason a number of our Los Angeles friends have been seen on our streets for the past few days. First O. E. Mack paid us a flying visit, next Joseph Howe looked in upon us, and lastly Mrs. McBurney and her niece Miss Bayles are visiting friends in this place. Dr. Warner of Oakland has been down to take a look at his new purchase, formerly owned by Dea J. Howe. Mr. Handsacker of San Bernardino has been engaged to teach our school the coming year. He has rented the Johnson house and intends making this his home while teaching. The Averill place has been purchased by Mr. Hough, who likes our country very much. The cheese question is agitating the minds of the people again. A meeting to discuss the matter was held at Griswold's grove last Saturday, at which time it was decided a factory would pay, and some money subscribed toward building one. Another meeting is to be held in a couple of weeks. Success to the project. With a good number out camping and others off threshing, our place is nearly populated, but there is a "good time coming" when the campers will return, we hope, renewed in strength, freckles and sunburn, and the threshers with money in their pockets.

AND GRAND Centennial Exposition And Celebration at the Pavilion, Los Angeles, Cal., commencing on Monday, SEPTEMBER 5, 1881 And continuing six days. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INVITE THE HEARTY CO-OPERATION OF EVERY CITIZEN WHO IS INTERED IN THE PROGRESS AND Welfare OF Southern California to make exhibits as well as attend the coming and the adjoining canyons, and the keepers have all the guests they can accommodate. Many camp in the open air. The Santiago Gold and Silver Mining Co. are looking for a man who understands the putting up and working of a Mexican ore furnace. It is the intention of the company, if a competent man can be found, to put up a small furnace on their mine in this district and work up some of their ore and fairly test its quality and value. The men who are to lay the pipe for the Santiago Ditch Company have commenced work. Several hundred feet of the pipe is on the ground. All that is left of the once promising Santiago city belongs to one man, and he is not at home. The 150 or 200 prospectors who made the hills and canyons echo with the sound of pick and sledge during the height of the excitement some two years ago, have nearly all, one by one, abandoned their claims and returned to their farms and workshops, where they are doubtless waiting for "something to turn up." Those who had faith and the means to stay have done and are still doing good work in the way of development. Without expressing any opinion upon the value of any of the prospects in these hills, we do wish the perseverance and firm faith of all of the mine owners may be richly rewarded, and Silverado, Santiago and Trabuco be yet classed among the valuable mining districts. There is an old miner in these hills some 65 or 70 years of age, who was all over Oregon, California, Arizona and Mexico nearly 50 years ago. He says he tramped it over these same hills at the time, and though he had no idea they contained gold and silver, he found traces of iron and coal. He has staked off claims in Leadville and in the Black Hills; he has his little mine in Arizona Territory, and probably two or three dozen prospects in Sonora; he has a number of valuable (undoubtedly) mining interests in this district. Of course he is a poor man—did you ever hear of an "old miner," who had visited every prominent mining district in the country and who owned some hundred "claims," who was anything but poor? But the object for which he has been toiling for so many years with so little result is about to be reached. It is not gold or silver that is to constitute his wealth—it is lime. He has discovered a large deposit of gray lime-rock, which he claims will burn lime equal to the best now imported from Santa Cruz. He has interested a prominent resident of the canyon, who understands the preparing of kilns and burning of lime, in his enterprise, and together they will set to work immediately, burn a quantity of the rock and have it fairly tested. "It is worth hundreds of dollars to Anaheim," says the enthusiastic discoverer. May his long search for hidden wealth find a satisfactory end in this enterprise. E. J. P. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. THE cheese question is agitating the minds of the people again. A meeting to discuss the matter was held at Griswold's grove last Saturday, at which time it was decided a factory would pay, and some money subscribed toward building one. Another meeting is to be held in a couple of weeks. Success to the project. With a good number out camping and others off threshing, our place is nearly depopulated, but there is a "good time coming" when the campers will return, we hope, renewed in strength, treckles and sunburn, and the threshers with money in their pockets. ORANGE ITEMS. Ripe grapes have made their appearance, to the delight of the average boy. The temperance lecture delivered on last Sunday evening by Rev. Mr. Nixon was largely attended by the good people of this village. These lectures, I understand, are to be given monthly under the auspices of the Orange Lodge. Samuel Rask got the returns for his orange crop last week, and they netted him about $2 per box. Sam thinks that his crop next year will net him $200 per acre; this we will divide by two, in order to be sure of a good thing, and we still have $100 per acre after all expenses have been paid. For a young orchard, Sam's can't be beat. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin visited Riverside on the 19th. They think it a very nice place, but Orange is good enough for them. Mr. Weber and family are comparing San Diego and vicinity with the Santa Ana Valley. Oh! for a drop of water to lay the dust on our streets. A pigeon trap is being talked up among the members of the Orange Rifle Club. It is hard work for the owners of threshers to master up a crew. All of the men have gone down to work on the railroad. West Bros. are rapidly pushing forward the work on the new postoffice building. It will be one of the peatest and most convenient offices in this county, and with Mr. A. B. Clark as postmaster and Collie Travis as deputy, we are surely in a fair way to keep up with the times. ORANGE. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT STATE OF CALIFORNIA. COUNTY OF LA SONA. HARTUNG, Decased. Notice for Publication of Time for Proving Will, etc. PURSCANT TO AN ORDER OF THIS COURT made this day, notice is hereby given that West Day, the 10th day of August, 1881, at 10 o'clock, A.M., of said day, at the courtroom of this Court in the city and county of Los Angeles, has been appointed for hearing the application of Fredrick Hartung, Jr., praving that a document now on file in this Court purporting to be the last Will and Testament of Friedrich Hartung, deceased, be admitted thenceon to said Fredrick Hartung, Jr., at which time and place all persons interested therein may appear and contest the same.

FIREMAN'S' He has interested a prominent resident of the canyon, who understands the preparing of kilns and burning of lime, in his enterprise, and together they will set to work immediately, burn a quantity of the rock and have it fairly tested. "It is worth hundreds of dollars to Anaheim," says the enthusiastic discoverer. May his long search for hidden wealth find a satisfactory end in this enterprise. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. One of the prettiest weddings that Westminster has seen took place at the Presbyterian Church on the evening of the 12th instant, the bride being the youngest daughter of Mr. James McFadden and the bridegroom Mr. Evans Trefethen. Long before the hour named the church, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion, a conspicuous ornament being a small marriage bell, was filled with well-wishing friends of the happy couple. The bridal pair, attended by the Misses Dora McFadden, Birdie Lefler, and Jessie McCoy as bridesmaids, and Messrs. J. A. McFadden, Everett Trefethen and John A. McCoy as groomsmen, entered the church shortly after 8 o'clock. The ceremony was most impressively performed by the Rev. James White, after which cake and fruit were handed to those present and the happy pair departed accompanied by the hearty congratulations of those present. For the benefit of our lady readers, we will inform them that the bride's dress consisted of white alpaca, tastefully trimmed with white satin and orange blossoms. In conclusion we may add the hope that this pretty little church may again and again be the scene of a similar ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Evans Trefethen left for their home in Wilmington on the 13th. Our postal arrangement has again undergone its periodical alteration and has returned to a tri-weekly service. If retrogression is the order, we may in time perhaps be favored with a weekly mail. We see that a subscription list is opened at the postoffice to FIREMAN'S PICNIC! TO BE GIVEN ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 7th, 1881 AT THE TIVOLI GARDENS. THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS TAKE pleasure in announcing to the public that they will spare nothing to make this picnic one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season.

There are many ways of conducting a grocery store; but to be successful in these days of close competition and with an exacting and discriminating public, certain essential points are required which few possess. The great success of my AMERICAN CASH STORE, 48 & 50 Spring St., Los Angeles. Cal., Is due to the fact that it commands in an eminent degree every advantage necessary to make it the leading grocery store on the southern coast. The heavy business I am doing enables me to keep my stock always fresh and clean. I buy my goods only for CASH, from FIRST HANDS, And in a WHOLESALE WAY. I am enabled to do so by having my house in San Francisco to do my buying and to there-dispose of any surplus stock over and above the requirements of the Los Angeles store. To further facilitate and insure the safe handling of wholesale quantities of merchandise, I have just opened ANOTHER STORE in STOCKTON, And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, —AND AT— LOWER PRICES! And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, AND AT— LOWER PRICES! Than they can buy for elsewhere. It is of course quite in the range of possibilities that some one of our neighbors on whose toes I may happen to tread, will "get up his back" and try to sell at my prices; but as he can do so only at a loss to himself, whilst I am making a small profit, such "spurts" are of a short duration, and in fact at no time do they cover the whole ground, since such reductions are always confined to a few staples, merely to catch the eye. Since the prices of the AMERICAN CASH STORE have justly become THE STANDARD By which those of other concerns are measured, it is evident that it must be to the interest of the consumer to at once GO TO HEADQUARTERS, And not uselessly risk having to pay more for his goods than they are worth.
