WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... SEPTEMBER 24, 1881 Kleinigkeiten. Twenty-four distilleries have gone into commission in this county. Mr. E. L. Goldstein, of the firm of B. Dreyfus & Co., is visiting Anaheim as the guest of Mr. Dreyfus. Richard Melrose has been appointed a Notary Public to reside at Anaheim, vice V. Montgomery Esq., resigned. A slight shower of rain fell on Thursday night. Wednesday was a blustering day, and it looked at times as if winter was already upon us. Receipt books, order books, note books etc., printed on heavy paper and bound in substantial form, are kept in stock at the Gazette Job Office. There are 5000 sacks of grain and 400 bales of wool in the warehouse at Anaheim Landing, and more is being received daily. The Honita took a lighter-load of grain on Tuesday evening. The insignia of mourning was placed on many houses in town upon the receipt of the telegram announcing the death of President Garfield, and the expressions of sorrow were many and sincere. The barkentine Geo. C. Perkins has arrived at Wilmington with 200,000 feet of pine lumber for Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. It is only a week since the same firm received a cargo of redwood lumber. The Commercial of Tuesday announced the elapement from Downey of Judge W.W. Allen, a married woman. In its issue —A terrible accident occurred shortly after 2 o'clock on Monday last, by which Mr. John A. McCoy of Westminster lost his life. The unfortunate young man was one of a band of threshers working about ten miles beyond Spadra. He was standing on the table of the machine receiving the unthreshed grain, when an unusually large quantity was delivered by the derrick. The hay struck him, and in order to get out of the way he attempted to step on the cylinder cap, but in so doing he overbalanced himself and put his foot on the feeding board. This board is exceedingly smooth and he slipped, his left foot being caught by the revolving cylinder and dragged in. He cried out to the driver of the horse-power, who fortunately saw him fall, to stop, and although the machine was instantly brought to a stand-still his whole leg was dragged in, the limb being crushed to a pulp as far as the knee and the thigh-terribly lacerated. He was quickly helped out by the man who was feeding the machine. Considering the extent of the wound there was little bleeding, but the shock was so severe that he never rallied; and gradually sank until he died, about two and a half hours after the accident, being sensible to the end. Doctors Fairchild and Brown of Pomona did all their power to relieve him. His father, Dr. J. McCoy, was at once telegraphed for, and accompanied by his wife and brother and Dr. Fergusson, proceeded as fast as relays of horses could take them to the scene of the accident; but unfortunately they arrived too late, the poor fellow having been dead some hours. The grief-stricken parents at once proceeded to remove him to his home. There was scarcely a dry eye at the threshers camp, for he was a great favorite among the boys. The funeral of the President will take place at Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday next. Preparations for a suitable observance of the day has been made in nearly every city, village and hamlet in the United States. Business will be generally suspended during a portion of the day, and the exercises will consist mainly in processions and funerals. The people of Anaheim and vicinity are invited to assemble in St. Michael's Episcopal church at 2 o'clock P.M. and take A WARN! It is an undeniable fact vine-growing counties in of the State, and as far Presno counties, the deriding with more or less none the less to be done travels less rapidly than because the vines here do not attacks so quickly as they try. The final outcome pest in a vineyard is California as in France—the three or four years before mass of green becomes out of withered stumps. No given an infected vineyard of remedial agencies, hailffect in staying the rainy deadly insect. There is no evidence that yet appeared in this cities. In localities like A vineyards can be inundated whether the insect could But it behooves every precaution against import and we deem it our duty and warn the people of the early against doing aught a deadly enemy to the vine.

C. Perkins has arrived at Wilmington with 200,000 feet of pine lumber for Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. It is only a week since the same firm received a cargo of redwood lumber. The Commercial of Tuesday announced the elopement from Downey of Judge W. W. Allen and a married woman. In its issue of Wednesday it states that it was misinformed in regard to the matter. Theodore Schiefflin, a brother of Mrs. E. Dunham, died at the residence of his parents on Saturday night of diphtheria. Several other members of the family are suffering from the same disease, but in a milder form. A small house on the ranch of Mr. V. Montgomery at the mouth of the Santiago Canyon, in which a workman lived, was burned on Monday. The contents, including some harness, etc., were destroyed. Loss about $100. The fire was accidental. The Government Arid Land Commissioners, now in Southern California, have been asked to have the Government timberlands at the head of the Santa Ana river withdrawn from market, as it is feared that a lessened rainfall would result from a denudation of the timber in that region. The Chamber of Commerce has been revived in Los Angeles and the following Board of Directors have been elected for the term ending December 31st: I. W. Hellman, J. P. Widney, I. N. Van Nuys, K. Cohn, J. de B. Shorb, W. S. Maxwell, A. Haas, E. F. Spence, B. Dreyfus, A. M. Dodsworth and J. M. Griffith. Antone Jason, a Portuguese employed by the Railroad Company at Wilmington, was killed on Saturday afternoon. He, with others, was sitting on the empty dirt car attached to the construction train when the train stopped suddenly because of an obstruction on the track. The jar threw Jason from the car, and he was struck by another car and instantly killed. Mr. D. M. Harwood, who has just returned from the Mohave mines, favored us with a call on Thursday. He, in connection with James Huntington and Harry Thistlewaite, have several claims which promise to be of great value. One of them is adjoining the Silver King, a mine which was recently sold to San Francisco capitalists for $300,000. The Australian papers are urging the funeral of the President will take place at Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday next. Preparations for a suitable observance of the day has been made in nearly every city, village and hamlet in the United States. Business will be generally suspended during a portion of the day, and the exercises will consist mainly in processions and funeral orations. The people of Anaheim and vicinity are invited to assemble in St Michael's Episcopal church at 2 o'clock P.M. and take part in the memorial services to be held there, and thus testify their respect to the great and good man who will on that day be committed to his last resting place. After the above was in type we received the following announcement: "The funeral of the President occurring at 2 o'clock on Monday, and the day having been set apart by the Governor of this State as a day of fasting and prayer, appropriate services will probably be held at the Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock (corresponding with 2 o'clock at the East), in which English and German services will be combined. Any change of programme will be duly announced on Sunday at the church service." Owing to the lack of space last week we were obliged to omit many items of interest in our Fair correspondent's letter, among which the following deserve special mention: as they are of interest to the farmers and fruit-growers of this county: Mr. E. M. Hamilton of East Los Angeles had 23 varieties of fruits and vegetables on exhibition, all grown with sub-irrigation. He is the inventor of the sub-irrigation system which is becoming so popular in this county and invented the molds for the manufacture of the necessary pipes. He also joint inventor of the continuous machine used for the same purpose, and exhibited a sample of his wares, which were much examined, as his system of irrigation is destined to become the leading mode where water is scarce. Henry Geise of Los Angeles made only exhibit of farm machinery, his Furst & Bradley sulky plow, and his Garden City cultivator eliciting much praise from every farmer. His pulverizing harrow made by Wheeler & Munick Co., also drew much attention, as this is a new invention and needs to be seen in its various adjustments to be appreciated. It is so made that as it passes over the ground it takes up the soil and drops it again thoroughly turned and pulverized. He has different sizes, and as they have seed sower attachments and can both sow and cover the grain at the same time, they are destined to become very popular. Mr. Geise's assortment of farm implements was excellent, and farmers would probably do well to call at his store on Aliso street when wishing anything in his line. Mr. F. J. J. Schmidt has sixty Berger vines, three years old, from which he sold this year 1,475 pounds of grapes. This is at the rate of over ten tons to the acre, and as this variety of grape readily commands $20 per ton, it requires little calculation to determine how much it will take place at here on Wednesday draped in mourning ducted by the Rev Jacobus and Porte ing the sermon from still, and know that tege afterwards lea Mr. D. M. Harwood, who has just returned from the Mohave mines, favored us with a call on Thursday. He, in connection with James Huntington and Harry Thistlewaite, have several claims which promise to be of great value. One of them is adjoining the Silver King, a mine which was recently sold to San Francisco capitalists for $300,000. The Australian papers are urging the New Zealand Government to award the $2,500, offered for the successful shipment of bees to that colony, to Judge Levering of this county, who, they insist, has justly earned the bonus. This gentleman now has on file an order from New Zealand for two colonies of bumble bees. They are wanted in that country to distribute the bloom of clover, which the farmers intend to make an effort to raise. A correspondent of the Express writing from Downey, says: The castor oil factory of Dr. J. F. Groover is now running to its full capacity, both night and day. Two shifts of men and horses are employed. The Doctor says the process is rather a slow one, the press being of one-horse power only. The roasting and refining apparatus is very complete. The experiment so far, I believe, is very satisfactory. The only, if any, mistake that has been made was in getting so small a press. It is feared the present one will not be equal to the demand. A curious state of affairs in regard to money matters is reported in this city. On Wednesday last a gentleman entered one of our banks with a bag of gold, almost as much as he could carry, to place on deposit, but the bank refused to take it. They simply placed it in the vault for safe keeping, subject to the gentleman's order. A bank president is also credited with saying that they had such a plethora of money that he had to lie awake nights to devise ways and means of investing it. Such incidents tell a very plain story of our prosperity. A red morrocco pocket book, containing money, was lost on Thursday night between Mr. Northam's house and Mr. Hartung's house. A reward will be paid the finder by leaving it at this office or returning it to Mrs. L. Parker. A WARNING. It is an undeniable fact that in all the vine-growing counties in the Northern part of the State, and as far South as Tulare and Fresno counties, the deadly phylloxera is spreading with more or less rapidity. It is none the less to be dreaded because it travels less rapidly than in France, or because the vines here do not succumb to its attacks so quickly as they do in that country. The final outcome of the presence of the pest in a vineyard is the same in California as in France—the vines die, and what three or four years before was a luxuriant mass of green becomes only a ghastly array of withered stumps. No extraordinary care given an infected vineyard, no application of remedial agencies, have the slightest effect in staying the ravages of this most deadly insect. There is no evidence that phylloxera has yet appeared in this or adjoining counties. In localities like Anaheim, where the vineyards can be inundated, it is doubtful whether the insect could find a lodgment. But it behooves every person to use every precaution against importing the pest here, and we deem it our duty to sound an alarm and warn the people of this county particularly against doing aught to introduce such a deadly enemy to the vinegrower. The time for securing cuttings will soon be here, and those who intend to plant vineyards will have to make up their minds what varieties of vines they want, and where they will get them. We ask all such to purchase their cuttings in this county. There is no surer way to introduce the phylloxera than to purchase cuttings in Napa, Sonoma or any of the Northern counties and import them here. It is nothing less than criminal to do such a thing. It is almost certain that every bundle of cuttings received from counties known to be infested seems with the germs of insect life, and as the cuttings grow and thrive when planted in the vineyard, so will the insects imported with them grow and thrive, and at the appointed time will not only destroy the vines upon which they were reared but make havoc throughout the entire district. It is true that cuttings may be disinfected, but the process of disinfection must necessarily take place. Thermometrical Record.
