WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...DECEMBER 10, 1861 RAILROAD CHANGES. Very radical changes in the railroad and postal service were made on Friday of last week, notice of which was received at this office about an hour after last week's Gazette went to press. The regular train leaves here in the morning and arrives in the evening as usual, but in addition a special train, carrying passengers and mail, arrives here at 11:29 A.M. and leaves at 2:42 P.M., Anaheim time. It will be seen by reference to the report of the meeting of the Railroad Commissioners that the service is only temporary, unless the Railroad Company finds it profitable to continue it, in which case it will be made permanent. The change is of decided advantage to this town, and we are glad to know that the increase in the volume of travel, induced by this special train and by the low rates of fare, is such as will probably justify the company In continuing the service. Simultaneous with the running of the special train the fare to Los Angeles was very materially reduced. Tickets to Los Angeles and return, good for thirty days, can be purchased as follows: From Downey ... $1.85 From Anaheim ... $1.85 "Norwalk" ... $1.25 "Orange" ... $2.25 "Costa" ... $1.65 "Santa Ana" ... $2.25 Proportionate reductions have been made from stations north of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago Messrs. Shorb and Griffith were appointed a committee by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce to interview the railroad authorities and endeavor to get from them special rates for the transportation of fruit to the East. The committee have made the following report: "Mr. Towne assured us that the necessary fruit cars would be furnished by his company to carry our fruits to market, and that he would make it a personal condition with all connecting roads that our fruits should be transferred from fruit to box cars in transit; and as far as possible would insist that no unnecessary delay should occur in forwarding fruit to points of destination; that he had dispatched a special agent East to confer with the officials of all connecting roads with the view of obtaining their necessary GARDEN GROVE ITEMS. The efficacy of having items in the papers is well illustrated by the result of a remark made in this correspondence last week. I then mentioned that horses were scarce. The writer now has four for sale and no buyers. Perhaps there will be another change next week. There is a fine body of land between here and Anaheim awaiting purchasers and improvement. There is no better land for fruit trees and vines in this section of country, and while no better land is sold every day in other parts of the county at from one hundred to two hundred dollars per acre, this land is neglected. The day will surely come when all the land between Garden Grove and Anaheim will be planted to vines and trees. There is no question but that our fruit is as good, and the yield as abundant as that of any other section of the county. I saw a box of raisins yesterday that was packed by Mr. J. D. Chaffee, that for size, flavor and richness of appearance would compare favorably with any raisins packed in this State. Our apple crop has been abundant. Our apricot trees are certainly as thrifty and produce as abundantly as they do anywhere in the world. For several years the trees in this neighborhood have borne large crops of delicious fruit, neither frost nor drought have interfered with their growth or fruitfulness. Never failing springs of water can be obtained at small cost, and in a few years this comparatively barren tract of land can be made to bloom and blossom like the rose. It has been done before; is an accomplished fact now, as evidenced in many of our beautiful homes, and it only needs a little energy and perseverance to make the country between here and Anaheim as beautiful as it is at either place. There are to be two Christmas trees here, one at the Bolsa school house on Saturday evening and one at the Garden Grove Church on Monday evening. If we have a good rain before that time the attendance at each will be large, and the presents numerous and costly. So those who have presents to sell must put in a petition for rain. F. N. Cook, who used to live near this place, has moved his dairy from Downey to the Sears' place south. He has fifty cows and will add more, and commence a cheese factory as soon as feed begins to grow.

The committee have made the following report: "Mr. Towne assured us that the necessary fruit cars would be furnished by his company to carry our fruits to market, and that he would make it a personal condition with all connecting roads that our fruits should be transferred from fruit to box cars in transit; and as far as possible would insist that no unnecessary delay should occur in forwarding fruit to points of destination; that he had dispatched a special agent East to confer with the officials of all connecting roads with the view of obtaining their necessary consent to a pro rata reduction of freight charges, and to the speedy and uninterrupted transmission of our fruit shipments, and upon the return of their agent, he hoped to be able to make the reduction asked for. "In conclusion, from the deep interest manifested by Mr. Towne, and from the expressions of his earnest desire to promote and encourage the fruit interest of Southern California, your committee feel assured that the reductions on present rates to San Francisco and Eastern markets will be made in time to meet the demand of this year's crop." Mr. A. N. Towne subsequently addressed the following letter to the committee. Referring to the interviews had lately between you and myself, I understand your request to be, in substance, as follows: That there be made by the railroad companies a reduction in present rates on oranges by the car-load from Los Angeles to San Francisco; also, from Los Angeles to some of the principal Eastern markets. You represented me that a reduction to ten ($10) dollars per ton to San Francisco, and to $300 per car-load of ten (10) tons to Chicago, and a like reduction to other Eastern cities, would double the quantity shipped from Los Angeles during the coming season and stimulate the culture or oranges to such an extent as to double the production in the southern part of the State in a very few years. In consideration of your representations, and a desire to encourage the culture of oranges, and to enable growers in this State to successfully compete in the Chicago and Mississippi river markets with the productions of Florida, Louisiana and Sicily, it has been decided to meet your expressed wishes. I have, therefore, great pleasure in informing you that, commencing with the 1st January, the rate on oranges from Los Angeles to San Francisco, in car-load lots, will be ten ($10) per ton; from Los Angeles to Kansas City, $300 per car-load of ten (10) tons; to St. Louis, $335; and to Chicago $350. We also hope to be able before the season is over to open up other markets in Texas, Arkansas and Missouri by offering equally favorable rates. We will also endeavor to give the fruits especial attention as to time, and will try to avoid transferring at terminal points to which ordinary freight is more or less subjected. If the earth is drying up, as some people of a scientific twist of mind are endeavoring to prove, there is no use of this generation getting into a ferment over it. Events which may happen in a couple of hundred million years or so can only have a very languid interest for you and I. (We of Anaheim propose to solve the water problem so that there will be no more scarcity of that element during our time, and leave to future generations the problem — which some people of our own time have solved—of getting fresh fruit.) There are to be two Christmas trees here, one at the Bolaa school house on Saturday evening and one at the Garden Grove Church on Monday evening. If we have a good rain before that time the attendance at each will be large, and the presents numerous and costly. So those who have presents to sell must put in a petition for rain. F. N.

(We of Anaheim propose to solve the water problem so that there will be no more scarcity of that element during our time, and leave to future generations the problem — which some people of our own time have solved—of getting along without water. But what a merey it is that our earthly career will be over before the final catastrophe! Listen: Not until our earth is half land and half water need we be too anxious for all concerned, or consider ourselves practically going down hill. After it has passed that mark, the human race and the whole animal kingdom, together with the vegetable world, will decrease in proportion as the water decreases. Vegetation will gradually diminish for want of water; the human race, in fact, the whole animal kingdom, will slowly but surely disappear for want of vegetation on which to subsist; and finally, water and all contained therein will vanish, leaving the earth a wandering cinder like Mercury and the moon. A COMMITTEE of the State Horticultural Society sent out circulars last winter to correspondents in all the counties in the State, asking them to state the varieties of fruits which succeeded best in their respective localities. To this circular 150 responses were received, and these answers have been condensed. The report from Los Angeles county is as follows. Apples, pears and plums on clayey soil do well; cherries, almonds and walnuts unsatisfactory; apricots and figs very good; oranges get frosted in some places, but attain great perfection, are of large size and excellent flavor; irrigation required. The assertion that walnuts are an unsatisfactory crop in this county is very far from the truth. The walnut trees in Anaheim bear uniformly large crops, and are always profitable to their owners. We believe the same to be true of other portions of the county; and to class the walnut with the almond in writing of their productivity, is in the highest degree absurd. Dr. M. Dallas Jennings, of Astoria, Oregon, shot himself while in a state of nervous prostration, inflicting a fatal wound. ITEMS. CONGRESS. The Republican members of Congress met in caucus in Washington last Saturday to choose candidates for the various elective offices. James W. Keifer, of Ohio, was nominated for Speaker of the House, on the 16th ballot. Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, was chosen Clerk, and Col. Geo. W. Hooker, of Vermont, Sergeant-at-arms. The first regular session of the 47th Congress assembled on Monday, 290 Representatives being present. The officers mentioned above were formally elected and installed. The Senate convened, and a number of bills were introduced, among them one by Senator Miller, to enforce treaty stipulations relative to Chinese, and one by Senator Logan, to place Gen. Grant on the retired list of the army. We give beneath the Call's synopsis of the President's message, which is a very long document: The message opens with a solemn reference to the assassination of President Garfield since Congress last met. In all other respects the Nation has been blessed. The harvests have been plentious, the health of the people preserved, and our friendly relations with foreign Governments maintained. Reference is made to questions which have arisen with Spain, Germany, Russia, Holland and Mexico, all of which are in the progress of amicable settlement. The first disputed subject touched upon is the Panama Canal. The President refers to the treaty of Colombia of 1846, and to the treaty with Great Britain in 1850, by the latter of which a joint-right of guarantee was accorded Great Britain in some respects inconsistent with the treaty with Colombia. A proposition had been made by the preceding Administration to so modify the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850 that it would harmonize with the treaty with Colombia; and negotiations to effect that result have been resumed under the present Administration. The tone of the message is in full accord with the principles laid down during the Garfield Administration. In the matter of the trouble between Chile and Peru, reference is made to the difficulty of conducting negotiations through separate Ministers; and in consequence a special envoy has been accredited to the two Governments, with power to treat with each. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. MONDAY, Dec. 5th. The claim of M. E. Tyler for burned property was referred to the next meeting.

The monthly report of the County Recorder was accompanied by the following protest: "I hereby protest against making the following report, for the reason that the law now in force allows the County Recorder the fees of his office, and further, because the fee bill under which I am required to make the said report, known as the 'Ellis fee bill,' is illegal, and therefore inoperative as to my office. I therefore make and file this report under protest." TUESDAY, Dec. 6th. Wharf franchise petitions of E. Goodall, M. Dominguez and T. E.

At the session of the Board of Railroad Commissioners held a few days ago, a recent correspondence between Commissioners Cone and Beerstecher and A. N. Towne, General Superintendent of the Central Pacific Railroad, was read, wherein Mr. Towne stated that, at the suggestion of the Commissioners, passenger trains would be put on the route between San Diego and Los Angeles, to meet at the latter place through trains from San Francisco. Should the results of this experiment be satisfactory, the service will be made permanent. The following resolutions were introduced by General Stoneman: Ordered, First—That from and after the first day of January, 1882, second-class accommodations for second-class passengers shall be furnished by and over all railroads in this State, at rates of fare not to exceed 60 per cent of the rates charged for first-class passengers on the said roads for the same distances, in the same directions and between the same stations. Second—That second-class passengers shall not be required to travel in smoking-cars. Third—That second-class passengers shall have the same rights to lay-over tickets on all the railroads in this State as is granted to first-class passengers. The consideration of the resolutions was postponed until the next meeting of the Board. "Professor Shively, the true Messiah," is the title of a "crank" who peddled blasphemy and pens in Anaheim some months ago. He has turned up at Washington as a self-subpoenaed witness for Guiteau, pretending to be able to explain how it was that Guiteau got his inspiration to kill President Garfield. His zeal has lodged him in prison; and the question of his insanity will be passed upon by experts. Mrs. Susannah Lavine, of Benicia, killed herself with rat poison on Sunday. It was a case of domestic inflicty. Memphis, (Tenn.), December 3d. — At Jackson, Tenn., this morning Mrs. M. McGhee was accidentally shot and killed by her son John. It seems that he was in the act of shooting some pigeons when his dog ran between his legs, throwing him down and the gun falling from his hands fell down and discharged itself. The contents of both barrels struck his mother in the head and chest, death ensuing almost instantly. Young McGhee worshiped his mother and has been wild with grief all day. She was 60 years of age. Nevada, December 4th. — John R. Pooler, a man 80 years of age, was drowned in Nevada City on Saturday by falling from a plank crossing into a pond of water. When found, one of his arms and a portion of his body were deeply imbedded in the soft mud. It is supposed that after falling into the pond he was unable to extricate himself, and so drowned in two feet of water. Vicente Rios and Vicente Castro, who are wanted in San Luis Obispo county for felony, were arrested in Monterey on Saturday, after a fight with the constables, in which both the prisoners were wounded, Rios in the arm, and Castro, probably fatally, in the body. Frederick Shober threw himself from the third story of the German Hospital in San Francisco last week, while delirious, and sustained probably fatal injuries.
