WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 12, 1881 Half a million dollars worth of property was destroyed at Hoboken the other night, because the Mayor and the fire department happened to be involved in a quarrel. When the alarm was turned in all the fire engines were found to have been put out of gear, and the Chief Engineer refused to let them go to the fire until the Mayor agreed to certain concessions for the department. In this way an hour was wasted, and when at length the engines went to the fire it had become uncontrollable. This is a striking illustration of the effects of politics upon a fire department. It will be remembered that a very ridiculous story was afloat in England shortly after President Arthur's inauguration which credited that gentleman with being an out-and-out Fenian and bosom friend of all the leading Land Leaguers in New York. If this impression is still extant in the old country it will receive deeper impress when the fact is made known that General Robert B. Lynch has been given a position in the War Department at Washington. This man was one of the Fenians captured at the battle of Ridgeway and was confined for a long time in the British "Bastile" at Kingston, Ontario. The English House of Commons is waking up to the duties of the hour. It is getting vigorous in speech as well as action. The other day Bright The Edinburg "Scotsman" of October 8th had a long notice of the screw-ship "Orient" which had just arrived in the Thames with fresh meat from Australia. The Orient made the journey from Adelaide to the Thames in thirty-nine days. She is fitted-up with new dry-air refrigerators, the patent of Mr. Seale Haslam and has for the first time taken fresh meat to England by the aid of this ingenious invention. The principle on which the Haslam refrigerator manufactures cold air is that of surface cooling, in lieu of the older system of jet cooling. Water and air having entered the machine, the air is compressed at about 45 pounds to the square inch, heated to about 280 degrees, then passed through the refrigerator and expanded; upon which the volume of cold air, which may even be produced at so low a range as from 30 to 60 degrees below zero, discharges itself continuously into the closed chambers in which meat or other perishable articles are stored. Its chief feature is the production of a preservative dry air. Another point is that the same degree of cold can be obtained with water taken in at 90 degrees as with water taken at 50 degrees—a matter of obvious importance in ships which have to pass through the tropics. With an engine of 70-horse power, it is stated that a cargo space holding 250 tons of fresh meat can be kept in a continually frozen state throughout the long voyage from Sydney to England, a distance of 13,500 miles. The space chartered by the Australian Frozen Meat Company is sufficient for 150 tons, and that was just the quantity actually aboard, consisting of 3171 carcasses of sheep, 70 quarters of Thanksgiving. WASHINGTON, November 17 It has long been a people with the closing back upon the blessing, the changing course of return thanks to the A whom they flow; and iod, when the falling that the time of our nation still lies in bereavement, and the filled our hearts finds toward the God before bowed in grief and so countless benefits which upon us during the past for our fervent gratitude that we should remeasure that the Lord, in has most signally favors its people.

In witness whereof, By the President: JAS. G. BLAINE, Secr An Acknowledgment EDITOR GAZETTE:—I am in your paper tendered. The English House of Commons is waking up to the duties of the hour. It is getting vigorous in speech as well as action. The other day Bright denounced the fair traders as lunatics and rogues; Lord Salisbury taunted the Liberals with having eaten dirt in vain; Sir William Vernon Harcourt intimated that my Lord Salisbury didn’t understand the decencies of public discussion; Lord Randolph Churchill styled Gladstone “an incendiary, who had touched the lowest depths of political cowardice and intrigue;" Mr. Broadhaust retorted that Lord Churchill was a miserable, contemptible young man, and Lord Wolverton said that he wasn’t worthy to black Mr. Gladstone’s boots. This vigorous use of the Queen’s English reminds one of the California Legislature when Sir Samuel Braunhart, Lord Michael O’Kane and other sand-lotters were to the fore. The decision of the Kern County Judge, given in another column, has a deep significance to the people of Anaheim, in that it upholds the doctrine of appropriation as opposed to riparian rights. All the decisions of late tend in that direction. It is a monstrous pity that the Supreme Court cannot be induced to give a square decision as between those opposing principles. Whenever a case is presented to them, involving the questions of appropriation and riparian ownership, they seize upon some little technicality and give the decision upon that, without touching upon the main question. It is true, a direct decision upon the question whether the English riparian doctrine or the Spanish principle of appropriation should take precedence in California, would put a stop to an enormous amount of litigation, and be to the detriment of those to whom litigation is the bread of life, but it would remove a disturbing influence from a large section of country and make the road clear for thousands of people. A German paper, comparing Germany with France, observes that the former nation is superior to the latter in political and military power, and that the latter surpasses the former in culture and material prosperity. This, it says, is chiefly attributable to the fact that the population of France is almost stationary, while that of Germany is rapidly increasing. France, which is, moreover, richer in natural resources than Germany, is thus easier able to provide for the wants of its people. Germany, naturally a poor country, cannot increase her productions so as to keep pace with the increase of her population. According to the latest census the population of Germany was 45,194,- Through the tropics. With an engine of 70-horse power, it is stated that a cargo space holding 250 tons of fresh meat can be kept in a continually frozen state throughout the long voyage from Sydney to England, a distance of 13,500 miles. The space chartered by the Australian Frozen Meat Company is sufficient for 150 tons, and that was just the quantity actually aboard, consisting of 3171 carcasses of sheep, 70 quarters of beef, and other miscellaneous kinds of fresh meat and provisions, as tongues, oxtails, poultry, etc. The whole of this was taken aboard at Melbourne, having been killed and frozen ashore. "It is said," remarks the Scotsman, "that the hottest sun that ever shone down from a tropical sky would still leave the meat rooms of the Orient cold as the air of a bright, hard frosty day in the coldest Winter of these latitudes." That paper admits that the economical aspects of the system remain to be determined, though it believes the mere fact that sheep may be bought in Sydney at from eightpence to a shilling a stone of eight pounds, can hardly leave a doubt of she profitable character of the transaction. The excellent appearance of the meat is due, in its opinion, in great part to the system of enveloping it in cotton bags, which not only prevents unsightly bruises, but that tendency of the carcasses to stick together, which is still more injurious. This fact alone, it is expected, will do much to remove the prejudices of buyers. The Phoenix, A. T., Thomas Andrews rode on other day, from Gibraltar Grande, a distance of two five minutes. Sunday, a party of husk Fort Steele, Wyoming, used a can of arsenic for posing it to be baking pies was employed in preserving the party have died, and gerously sick. At San Jose on Tuesday sons of Sheriff William and Georgie, aged two outbuilding playing, and found a breech-loading up. In fooling with their dental discharge took p The peculiar mining of Mr. Henry Jope, briefly indicated by a Leadville telegram as swindling, yielded him $18,000 before his system was exposed. Most of the ore taken out of the Leadville mines is sold to the reduction companies, who extract the ore by means of improved machinery. The price is determined by taking a barrow load of fair samples from various parts of the lot, running it through the mill, and submitting the powder to two assayers—one in the interest of the seller, and the other an employee of the buyer. Jope took a hundred tons of very low grade ore to a reduction factory, was present at the assaying, and managed to drop some pulverized silver into the sample powder. The assay was thus made to fix $18,000 as the worth of the ore, and he was paid that amount. Jope made haste to attempt the same swindle in another establishment, but in this case he was suspected, watched through peep-holes, and caught dropping the silver from the bowl of a pipe which he had been pretending to smoke. He had planned to clear $100,000 by his swindle and then quit Leadville. Either Attorney - General MacVeagh or District Attorney Corkhill is responsible for a flagrant failure of justice in the Star Route cases. The suits have been dismissed because the accused were proceeded against without securing their indictment by the Grand Jury. Judge Cox, in rendering his decision, said, after discussing principally the question as to the infamy of the crime charged, the conclusion arrived at was: "The crime was infamous and the accused should have been proceeded against by indictment." He therefore sustained the motion expunging the information from the files of the Court, and ordered the discharge of defendants. Thanksgiving Day. Washington, November 7th.—The President has issued the following proclamation: It has long been a pious custom of our people with the closing of the year to look back upon the blessings brought to them in the changing course of the seasons, and to return thanks to the All-Giving Source from whom they flow; and although at this period, when the falling leaf adorns us that the time of our sacred duty is at hand, our nation still lies in the shadow of a great bereavement, and the mourning which has filled our hearts finds sorrowful expression toward the God before whom we but lately bowed in grief and supplication, yet the countless benefits which have been showered upon us during the past twelve months calls for our fervent gratitude, and makes it fitting that we should rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord, in His infinite mercy, has most signally favored our country and its people. Peace without and prosperity within have been voucheafed to us; no pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant privileges of freedom, which our fathers left us in their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage, and if, in parts of our vast domain, some affliction has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet even this calamity has been tempered and in a manner sanctified by the generous compassion for the sufferers which has been called forth throughout our land. For all these things it is meet that the voice of the nation should go up to God in devout homage. Wherefore, I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, do recommend that all people observe Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of November instant, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing, so far as may be, from their secular labor, and meeting in their several places of worship, there to join in ascribing honor and praise to Almighty God, whose goodness has been so manifested in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest prayers that His bounties may continue to us and to our children. In witness whereof, etc. CHESTER A. ARTHUR. By the President: JAS. G. BLAINE, Secretary of State. An Acknowledgment. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Dear Sir: The article in your paper tendered me from the Anaheim ELECTION NEWS. New York, Nov. 10.—The World's Legislative table makes the State Senate: Democrats, 12; Republicans, 15. Assembly: Democrats, 67; Republicans, 61, and claims the election of the State officers by majorities ranging from 2,000 to 20,000. The Tribune estimates Carr's majority at 8,700, and gives the Democrats two majority in the Senate and four in the Assembly. The Sun says that neither party has elected its entire State ticket so far as the returns show. Each claim to have carried the State by 2,000 majority. The official count will be necessary to determine the result. In Connecticut, the Republicans are estimated to have 7 majority in the Senate and 61 in the Assembly. Returns from New Jersey give the Republicans five majority in the Senate and a tie in the House. Republicans claim a majority of 7,000 in Pennsylvania but the Democrats do not concede it. In Maryland, according to present estimates, the Democrats have a majority of 6 in the Senate and 27 in the Assembly. In Virginia the returns indicate the election of Cameron, and the Readjusters will have a good working majority in the Legislature. The Readjusters claim the State by 15,000 majority. Returns so far indicate that the Democrats have carried Mississippi by 20,000 to 30,000. Late returns insure the election of the Republican State ticket in Wisconsin by about 6,000 majority. Returns indicate a Republican majority in Minnesota of 20,000. It is claimed than the Republican candidates in Nebraska are elected by 20,000. —Gen. Stoneman has declined to serve on the Board of Directors of the Horticultural Society. The resignation of Gen. Shields was also accepted at the meeting last Saturday, and S. K. Sewell and Col. J.

The Directors of the Marysville Savings Bank on Tuesday passed the following resolution: "In view of the continued depreciation of real estate held by this bank as security and the difficulty of finding safe investments, we deem it expedient, in justice to our depositors to discontinue business and proceed at once to collect the assets and liquidate the indebtedness of the bank."

They propose to declare a dividend in liquidation at an early day, and thereafter as often as a sufficient amount shall have been collected.
