WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...AUGUST 20, 1851 In the suit of C. P. Huntington against C. E. Palmer, Tax Collector of Alameda county, Judges Sawyer and Hoffman, of the United States Courts, have found for the defendant by sustaining his demurrer. This was a suit brought by the railroad companies to enjoin the Tax Collectors of the various counties in the State from collecting the State and county taxes for the past year, and the effect of the decision is to compel the companies to pay their taxes. Judge Sawyer, however, said that the other cases (to enjoin other Tax Collectors of the State) would stand over to give plaintiff an opportunity to take this case to the United States Supreme Court, which would be in session in about six weeks, but if it is not speedily carried up, the other cases would be disposed of. GREENFIELD, who was hanged at Syracuse on the 5th instant, for wife murder, was born in the town of Orwell, Oswego County, N.Y., a locality which has a reputation not to be envied. The year's records show that of the great caravan of convicts which goes up, to Onondaga Penitentiary from Oswego County, the town of Orwell contributes a large third. Yet there are only two less densely populated towns in the county than this. In Orwell the sanctity of the marriage tie, the rights of property, the honor of the home find few respecters. The youth learn vice more rapidly, the old practice it more openly, than elsewhere in the vicinity. Ashour city. We do not know the reasons which impelled the Board of Supervisors to deny the request of the petitioners who asked that a County Board of Horticultural Commissioners be appointed, but as similar petitions have been denied in several other counties, it is to be inferred that the county authorities had good grounds for their refusal. It is said that one objection to appointing such a Board is that the powers conferred upon them by law are so arbitrary that, unless composed of the very best material, they would be apt to make themselves even more obnoxious to the fruit grower than the pests which infest the orchard. That there are good grounds for this apprehension is proved by the following instance: Mr. Hastings has a large vineyard in Napa county, and is considered one of the most progressive fruit growers in the county. There appeared in his vineyard one day a Mr. Morse (the same gentleman whose examination of the Anaheim vineyards the Gazette once severely criticized). Mr. Morse is an agent of the Viticultural Commission, and his special business is to discover phylloxera. He reported to his chief that phylloxera had appeared in Mr. Hastings' vineyard, whereupon that officer, by virtue of the power vested in him, told Mr. Hastings that he must use bi-sulphide of carbon on his vines, notwithstanding that Mr. H., who is as-capable as anyone of determining the presence of phylloxera, contended that there were no signs of the pest in his vineyard. He pointed out to the Commissioner that the suspected spot was the site of a former grove of madrones, which had exhausted the soil, and that the sickly appearance of the vines was due to that cause. His protests availed nothing, and, STRAWBERRY BY GENEVA [concern] EDITOR GAZETTE—strawberry plants, itSTANCE to see that thethat when they havewill not be too greatit takes the water torow, the better will thand if well soaked, probably require (unlpoor or sandy) to ma supposing the plantsrisigated.

Mr. Hitt was asked what would be the probable action of this Government in case the Russian authorities demanded Mr. Leo Hartmann, who confesses to having attempted the murder of the Czar. Mr. Hitt's reply to the newspaper correspondent who asked the question was to the effect that this Government would probably surrender Hartmann. Alarmed at this, the latter individual fled to Canada, and his attorney, Mr. Wehle, wrote to Secretary Blaine, calling his attention to the newspaper interview with Hitt, and asking whether he (Blaine) subscribed to the views therein expressed. Mr. Blaine writes in reply that he received by the same mail with Mr. Wehle's letter a letter from an eminent citizen of Pennsylvania, urging that the Government make known to Russia its willingness to surrender Hartmann on demand. He says: In both these communications I am asked to violate official propriety and disregard the traditions of the Department of State by declaring in advance what would be the action of the Government in a hypothetical case involving grave legal principles and important personal rights. You suggest that it is the duty of the Department of State to deliver its conclusion on this case because one of its assistants is reported, without authority, to have notwithstanding that Mr. H., who is as capable as anyone of determining the presence of phylloxera, contended that there were no signs of the pest in his vineyard. He pointed out to the Commissioner that the suspected spot was the site of a former grove of madrones, which had exhausted the soil, and that the sickly appearance of the vines was due to that cause. His protests availed nothing, and, to use his own words, "the ratio of expense entailed [in the attempt to exterminate a pest which was not present] was far greater than he valued the whole vineyard at." Mr. Hastings' case is probably not an isolated one, and it serves to illustrate the danger of surrendering the control of our property into the hands of five men, appointed by a power which cannot possibly know much about their qualifications. The question to be considered is whether it is advisable to run the risk pointed out in order to secure the benefits which might possibly result from the appointment of a Commission. At the meeting of the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco the other day, Dr. Stout read a paper on artesian wells. He condemned the use of artesian water, but his remarks applied to the artesian wells of San Francisco only, and were undoubtedly inspired by the Spring Valley Water Company—a corporation which naturally desires to create a distrust of artesian water and to discourage the sinking of wells. In the course of his address, Dr. Stout gave a list of some noted wells, which will prove interesting. He said: True artesian wells are "water springs rising above the surface of the ground by natural hydrostatic pressure on boring a small hole down through a series of strata to a water-carrying bed inclosed between two impervious layers." In them the water rises from a considerable depth to the surface of the ground, and usually spouts to a greater or less height above it. The bore of these wells is not limited to a few inches in diameter. The well of La Chapelle, Paris, was 54 feet, being larger than that of most ordinary surface wells. The boring chisel weighed 4 tons, and was lifted by steam power and made from 20 to notwithstanding that Mr. H., who is as capable as anyone of determining the presence of phylloxera, contended that there were no signs of the pest in his vineyard.

He says: In both these communications I am asked to violate official propriety and disregard the traditions of the Department of State by declaring in advance what would be the action of the Government in a hypothetical case involving grave legal principles and important personal rights. You suggest that it is the duty of the Department of State to deliver its conclusion on this case because one of its assistants is reported, without authority, to have expressed his own personal views in a casual conversation on the subject. There is no citizen of the United States to-day, native born or a naturalized, who has the right to demand from any national tribunal its opinion in a hypothetical case on the plea that it involves a principle which might affect his personal rights. Can you assign any reason why Mr. Leo Hartmann, who is not a citizen of the United States, should, the moment he sets foot on American soil, have the right to demand a ruling from one of the executive departments of the National Government upon a question of international jurisprudence that may affect his personal liberty when there is no case pending before the Department involving the issue? A half million immigrants from Europe will probably arrive in the United States during the current year. Can you indicate to me any reasonable ground on which Mr. Hartmann should be excepted from out that vast number and the special protection of the Government vouchsafed and voluntarily guaranteed to him in advance of any case arising in which his name is even mentioned? It may, perhaps, be unnecessary to advise you that the conclusions and decisions of the Department of State on important legal and diplomatic questions are not made prematurely public through the medium of newspaper interviews, nor in response to the attorneys of interested parties. The bore of these wells is not limited to a few inches in diameter. The well of La Chapelle, Paris, was 5½ feet, being larger than that of most ordinary surface wells. The boring chisel weighed 4 tons, and was lifted by steam power and made from 20 to 25 falls or strokes per minute. The well of Grenelle, requiring 7 years, reached the depth of 1798 feet, yielding 600 gallons per minute at 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The Kissingen in Germany, salt, 1878½ feet deep, spouts 58 feet high in the air. The Passy, near Paris, is 1923 feet deep, has a bore 2 feet 4 inches at the bottom, furnishes 5,582,000 gallons a day, and spouts 54 feet high. La Chapelle is 1811 feet deep, has a bore 5 feet 7 inches. The Butte aux Cailles has a bore of 6½ feet to 90 to 2900 feet. The London basin, perforated with innumerable bores, all smaller than the former, shows signs of exhaustion, the spouting wells having now their water level below the surface and requiring pumps. These signs, therefore, are significant in regard to the small basins in the peninsula of San Francisco. At Chicago there are two wells, 400 and 1000 feet, supplying 800,000 gallons a day (1,200,000 shufeldt). The St. Louis well has a depth of 3147 feet, but gave brine and was abandoned. The Louisville well has a bore of 3 inches, is 2086 feet deep, and has a supply nearly equal to that of Grenelle. At Charleston, S. C., there is a well 1250 feet deep which spouts 10 feet, and gives 1200 gallons an hour. Neusalwerk, Germany, 2288 feet. STRAWBERRY CULTURE. BY GRATIUS. [CONCLUSION,] EDITOR GAZETTE.—In setting out a bed of strawberry plants, it is of primary importance to see that the rows are so laid out that when they have to be irrigated there will not be too great a fall. The longer time it takes the water to run the length of a row, the better will the ground be soaked, and if well soaked, that is all they will probably require (unless the ground is very poor or sandy) to mature a crop of berries, supposing the plants are blooming when irrigated. I have found it a good plan to set out the plants in double rows two feet distant, with the plants 12 or 15 inches apart in the rows. If the entire surface of the ground has not been deeply plowed, it is a good plan to mark out where the plants are to be set, and taking a hoe, draw away on each side the soil till there is a good ridge thrown up, 18 or 20 inches wide at the base. This ridge will constitute a raised walk between each double row of plants, and also keep the water in each row in irrigating. Between these ridges the ground must be well and deeply dug, and if some well rotated fine manure is added, the product from the plants will be all the greater, and they will continue to bear a greater length of time. Another important point consists in pinching off all runners when going around every couple of days picking the fruit. Done at such a time, the labor is easier—it is like killing two birds with one stone. I find it an excellent plan to spread some fine kind of mulching, like hay that has been well trodden on a road or in a corral by horses' feet, or dried leaves raked up from under trees, and spread over the entire beds an inch or so thick. This mulching keeps in the moisture around the plants and by shading the ground from the sun's rays, it perfectly prevents the weeds from starting after each irrigation, which is an easy matter seeing that the ground is always ready for it. With such management I do not hesitate to say that an astonishing amount of large, good fruit will be raised. The five leading varieties brought forward as the best (the names of which I gave in my last article) are the very best, tested alongside of scores of other varieties, proving themselves to be superior and worthy of no more bathing will be found necessary this season at that stage of the tide. Take it altogether, Bolas Grande is preferable in many respects to any other of our weaside resorts, not the least of which are the good, because comparatively little used, roads, and the convenient freedom from dust; and the roads running due north and south, they can be traveled "with the wind abeam" instead of directly in a line with it, throwing what wind there is to one side.

About one hundred and sixty new pupils presented themselves for examination to-day, and more are coming during the next two or three weeks. The total number of pupils assembled at the opening of the school was about four hundred and fifty, and when the seniors and new ones that are coming are here, it will readily be seen that the attendance is very much greater than at any previous time. It gladdened the soul to see the merry faces and the pleasant warmth of greeting from teachers to pupils, and from pupils to mates—more like a "happy band of brothers" or a family reunited after a much longer separation than vacation has proved. The faculty occupied the platform. The school sang "Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned." Principal Allen read a short scripture lesson, which was followed by a beautiful chant, and then a kindly address of welcome. The Horticultural Society are hard at work, and have made a great number of tests with several kinds of scale destroyers, some of them proving tree destroyers as well. High-grade kerosene finally being considered safer than crude petroleum as it evaporates too rapidly to injure the tree while it effectually destroys the scale. Also in using the sacks for the codling-moth a double thickness has proved more satisfactory than a single thickness on account of the extra warmth, protection and darkness for the cocoon.

RELIEVED EDITOR: Since my last communication I see you have had a "let up" in the heated term, and while we have held on the even tender of our way with a thermometer whose daily track is from 68° to 80° on the sunny side of the house, we have by contrast felt the lower figure to be the average. "All is not gold that glitters," and we find it comes too true at times when old ocean turns each surge into a reflector and every ripple into a mirror to send back the rays of the summer sun, glancing up under the brim of the widest hat and searching the depths of the deepest sun bonnet to brown the fairest cheek and raise in gentle undulations the blistered cuticle of the nasal appendages—pug, roman or aquiline—irrespective of sex, previous condition, etc. We ORANGE ITEMS.

STRAW HATS AND PARASOLS, And one thousand and one articles too long to enumerate. FIRST-CLASS GROCERIES ALWAYS ON HAND. Hippolyte Cahen, Center St., Anaheim. 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, 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! 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.
