WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...DECEMBER 21, 1881 The trial of Guitean drags its slow length along, the evidence now being considered being that of medical experts. The prisoners who has heretofore been given the privilege of sitting alongside his counsel, was removed, despite his protestations, to the dock, since which his manner has been more subdued than formerly. Court room experts say that, from close observation of the jury, they have no doubt of the prisoner’s conviction. It appears that most, if not all the counties, along the line of the Southern and Central Pacific railroads, have refused the tender of a part of the railroad taxes due, as the company demanded receipts in full, and consequently no taxes have been paid. So the matter will stand until it is settled in the United States Supreme Court: It is to be hoped that a decision will be reached at an early day, as the withholding of the taxes is embarrassing many counties. A hotel in the exact shape of an elephant has been built at Atlantic City. The idea, of course, is to draw excursionists by means of the novelty. The structure is 86 feet long and 65 feet high. Stairways inside the legs lead up to a big restaurant and other rooms in the body, while on the back is a car forming a good place of outlook. The exterior is painted and sanded so as to resemble an elephant’s skin, except for the windows. The cost was $20,000. A good old Scotch Presbyterian has given us the reason why Scotchmen of that ilk do not take kindly to Christmas, as noted in this column last week. He says that they square their conduct by the Bible, and cannot find in that book any authority for fixing upon the 25th of December as the date of Christ's nativity; and that the custom of celebrating Christmas originated with the Romans, which of itself is enough to condemn the custom in the minds of the staunch churchmen. THE NEW YEAR AND THE OLD As we stand upon the threshold of a New Year an almost irresistible impulse causes us to look back at the year gone from us forever, ere we anticipate what awaits us. We rejoice to be able to say that the retrospect open to our view on this last day of the year is one eminently satisfactory, and marred by but one blot—the foul assassination of our chief magistrate. The prosperity of our community has been great, the hand of death has touched us lightly, and while no startling events have happened in our happy settlement, there has been a steady advance from the state of depression which had afflicted Southern California in general, towards opulent ease. At the close of the year we find everybody cheerful, money abundant, peace, prosperity and plenty everywhere, and poverty, misery and woe banished from our midst—we hope forever. While it could not be expected that great things should be done so soon after a financial panic and a drouth, much quiet work has been accomplished, and the result of a good year and a fair market shows itself in a community free from debt with a balance on hand for a merry holiday season and a New Year of enterprise. We cannot bid adieu to the old year without congratulating our citizens on the successful completion of the new ditch and the Town Water Works and expressing our gratitude to the men who have successfully conducted these enterprises to a close. So, bidding farewell to 1881, long to be remembered with kindly feelings, let us speculate a little on what 1882 may have in store for us. Let us assume the gift of prophecy and predict what 1882 will see accomplished. First, we shall see a mammoth reservoir, the marvel of Southern California, sending forth its inexhaustible streams of life-giving water, causing fertility unbounded. We shall also see an unbroken line of happy homes and prosperous settlers, from the reservoir on the one side to the coast on the other; for no finer piece of land is to be found in the State than lies north of our town. We hear a little bird whisper that handsome brick buildings will soon replace the row of unsightly houses on the Water Company’s lot on Center street, and we expect to see that accomplished also. We shall see our surrounding country containing double the population it now has and as a natural confluence. Westminster place for investment means. The success and failure of the place. It is big fact, that new Westminster took by speculating his principal cause of the last five or six years that nearly all those from the Eastern difference in there were enthused best methods needed to cultivate lands. During were acquiring success, their life in the purchase terest, and they found the mean haunted. Now strangers and fancy prices, be ple who have been expended means to attain success, and who have to undergo experience, we if the faith of our their experience and follow a line they can be such chase of lands they will leave them on constitutes have sandy land best of peaches; mediate grades of apples, pears. We can raise all this with but have some alkaen abundant evidence it can be thorow little land for s have a people w and contented ing the same go. On Tuesday Webb organizes about forty men M. A. McCoy; President Minneapolis. A good old Scotch Presbyterian has given us the reason why Scotchmen of that ilk do not take kindly to Christmas, as noted in this column last week. He says that they square their conduct by the Bible, and cannot find in that book any authority for fixing upon the 25th of December as the date of Christ's nativity; and that the custom of celebrating Christmas originated with the Romans, which of itself is enough to condemn the custom in the minds of the staunch churchmen. A new argument against divorce is afforded by Dr. Morselli in his statistical work on suicides. He claims that there are about six times as many cases of self-destruction among the divorced as among the widowed. The curious fact is that men seem to become tired of life more frequently than women when the nuptial knot has been cut by law. Apropos of this, the last census of Massachusetts shows 1,700 divorced females surviving, which is nearly double that of the divorced males. Cases like that of Guiteau will be covered by the new Penal Code of New York, which goes into effect next May. Under it a person will not be excused from criminal liability as an idiot, imbecile, lunatic, or insane person, or of unsound mind, except upon proof that at the time of committing the alleged criminal act he was laboring under such defect of reason as either not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing or not to know the act was wrong. The Code also specifies that a morbid propensity to commit prohibited acts existing in the mind of a person who is not shown to have been incapable of knowing the wrongfulness of such acts forms no defense to a prosecution therefor. It has been difficult for outsiders to understand why the Democratic ticket has almost invariably sustained defeat in New York when it was certain that there were more Democratic than Republican voters in that State. But the apparent incongruity is explained in the following paragraph from a New York paper: "We now have four distinct, competing, and conflicting Democratic organizations, each claiming to be the orthodox Democracy. There is Tammany Hall, there is Irving Hall, there is the revolt against Tammany Hall, and there is the County Democracy. Each of these goes ahead upon its own account, holding meetings, appointing committees, nominating candidates, and conducting the practical business of elections. Of course the result is that neither of these organizations can carry the day, and that the Republicans, though in a minority, can always be sure of electing at least some of their candidates." We have received Census Bulletin No. its inexhaustible streams of life-giving water, causing fertility unbounded. We shall also see an unbroken line of happy homes and prosperous settlers, from the reservoir on the one side to the coast on the other; for finer piece of land is to be found in the State than lies north of our town. We hear a little bird whisper that handsome brick buildings will soon replace the row of unsightly houses on the Water Company's lot on Center street, and we expect to see that accomplished also. We shall see our surrounding country containing double the population it now has and as a natural consequence our town will be twice as busy as it now is. We shall see farmers, orchardists, wine and wool growers prosperous and happy in their pleasant homes, from whose porches will be seen growing in luxurious abundance the vine, orange, lemon, lime, peach, apple, pear, walnut, fig, apricot, nectarine, strawberry, banana and other varieties of fruit, while fat cattle, horses, hogs and sheep enjoy the rich alfalfa and alfilleria surrounded by waving fields of wheat, barley, corn, rye and oats. We shall see vexatious litigation about water rights buried forever beneath millions of gallons of water in our new reservoir, never to be resurrected, and to be remembered only as an argument to illustrate the fact that energy and enterprise will cut the gordian knot of difficulty with greater ease and speed than can the fine-spun technicalities and legal lore of theoretical disciples of Blackstone. We shall see the croaker—foul curse upon mankind—extinct, and general goodfellowship reigning in his stead smiled upon by friendship, love and truth. This is the picture we present to our readers of the retrospect that will present itself to them at the close of 1882, and sincerely hoping that every man, woman and child in the community will lend their every energy to its realization and that January 1st, 1883, may find us in a position to point back and say 'tis done as we now say 'twill be done, we close by wishing to one and all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. NEW VINEYARDS. Below we give a partial list of new vineyards which will be set out in this vicinity this season. The list probably does not embrace one half of what will be planted, and in a future issue we will give a supplemental report. It will be seen that Black Malvoisie is the favorite cutting this year: LEONARD PARKER, 10 acres, Malvoisie. S. TUCKER, 20 acres, Muscat, Malvoisie and Zinfandel. J. J. DYER, 7 acres, Muscat. G.

We have received Census Bulletin No. 271 which gives the final figures of the population of the United States, as shown by the census of 1880, at 50,155,783, as follows: Males, 25,518,820; females, 24,636,963; native, 43,475,840; foreign, 6,679,943; white, 43,402,970; colored, 6,580,793; Chinese, 105,465; Japanese, 148; Indians, 66,407. Of this number the States contain 49,371,340 and the territories 784,443. California has a population of 864,694; males, 518,176; females, 346,518; native, 571,820; foreign, 292,-874; white, 767,181; colored, 6,018; Chinese, 75,132; Japanese, 86; Indians, 16,277; a total increase for this State since the census of 1870 of 304,447. The States of Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Virginia and the District of Columbia contain more females than males, the excess being greatest in Massachusetts, 66,205, and least in Maine, 820. In all the other States the males preponderate, in some of the territories being over two to one. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.—Rev. Charles Wesley Hewes, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church at the Mission, committed suicide to-day at the residence of his son in Oakland, by cutting his throat with a knife. He had been acting strangely for some time and his family feared he was becoming mentally deranged. Although closely watched, he managed to escape notice for a short time when he committed the fatal act. The deceased was sixty-four years old, and a native of Massachusetts.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The best informed politicians here no longer entertain any doubt as to the appointment of Sargent to the Interior Department. A gentleman who enjoys the President's confidence says he knows the matter is practically settled and that Sargent will succeed Secretary Kirkwood next month. The Associated Press dispatches on Wednesday contained details of seventeen murders committed the day previous at various places. THE OLD WESTMINSTER ITEMS. Westminster is especially suitable as a place for investment by men of limited means. The success of a place depends on the success and prosperity of the people in the place. It is a well-known and lamentable fact, that nearly all the land for sale in Westminster township and vicinity is held by speculating land companies. The principal cause of the depression here for the last five or six years is found in the fact that nearly all the settlers here were people from the Eastern States, who, owing to the difference in the soil and climate here and there, were entirely unacquainted with the best methods necessary to a successful system of cultivation and management of their lands. During the time that these men were acquiring the information requisite to success, their limited means were expended in the purchase payments and accruing interest, and the end of three or four years found the means of nearly all about exhausted. Now, if a boom means the sale to strangers and Eastern people of lands at fancy prices, because of the success of people who have been here for years, and who have expended very largely of time and means to attain the experience necessary to success, and who for the same reasons will have to undergo the same depression and experience, we don't want any boom. But if the faith of our old settlers in the place, it their experience leads them to invest here and follow a line of action that they know they can be successful in, and if the purchase of lands by strangers at a price that will leave them something to live and learn on constitutes a boom, then we have it. We have sandy land that will produce the very best of peaches, apricots and figs, and intermediate grades that will raise the very best of apples, pears, quinces and raisin grapes. We can raise all the alfalfa we want to and all this with but very little irrigation. We have some alkali lands and right side of it abundant evidence that by concerted action it can be thoroughly reclaimed; we have a little land for sale at reasonable prices; we have a people who are becoming prosperous and contented, and hope "Nemo" is enjoying the same great blessing. On Tuesday of last week Rev. J. H. Webb organized a Band of Hope here of about forty members. Superintendent, Miss M. A. McCoy; Asst. Supt., Mrs. Lyman; President, Miss Rocie Stephens; Vice Pres. Richmond, December 27.—News was received here this morning from West Point, on York river, of a terrible disaster to the steamer West Point, of the Clyde line, plying between that point and Baltimore. The West Point arrived at West Point early yesterday morning and a gang began to discharge her cargo. They cleared out all the freight between decks and had gone below into the hold to take out a quantity of kerosene oil, when, at ten minutes past 12, midday, an explosion occurred which blew out the side of the vessel into the river and set fire to the ship. Nineteen persons, including four of the crew and nearly all the steward's hands perished. The first and second officers escaped, one of them being badly injured. The captain, being on shore, was saved. The crew were mostly from Baltimore and the laborers from Richmond and West Point. The steamer was cut loose, as it was found impossible to save her, and she drifted two miles up Damunky river where everything burned, except her iron hull, which broke amidships. WARSAW, Dec. 25.—During the celebration of high mass in the Church of the Holy Cross to-day a man was seized while picking pockets. In order to effect his escape the culprit cried "Fire!" Immediately a great panic seized the congregation, who rushed for the doors. During the confusion twelve women were crushed to death and forty other persons seriously injured. The pick-pocket was soundly beaten by the crowd. The culprit is a Jew and the lower classes were much excited against his coreligionists, several of whom have been maltreated and had the windows of their dwellings broken. The military had to be called out. A later dispatch states that so far forty-six persons have died of injuries received during the panic in church. Four shops kept by Jews have been gutted. Several policemen were injured by the rioters. The authorities displayed great promptitude in repressing disorder. The military are patrolling the disturbed quarters. VIRGINIA, (Nev.), December 28.—Jerry Ander Pollock and wife, a couple nearly 60 years old, were burned to death about 6 o'clock this evening. Every indication points to a horrible murder. The old couple keep the tollhouse in Six-Mile canyon, about two miles from town, and it is generally supposited. Thermometrical Record. The following is our record (taken 1½ miles North of town) for the week ending Wednesday F.M. Dec. 28th, giving lowest point by night preceding date and highest by day: DATE Dec....40 41 71 54 ".....23 35 37 68 54 ".....24 37 37 66 49 ".....25 37 39 63 50 ".....26 38 38 60 53 ".....27 45 45 59 54 ".....28 40 40 73 58 Average Temperature...49° Average highest and lowest...51° Mr. Marah, of the Pico House, has just received a letter from Boston engaging 110 rooms in his hotel for the accommodation of three excursions that are to arrive here early in the spring. There will be sixty persons in each party and they will arrive with an interval of about two weeks between each stop a week here to visit the surrounding country. The first party is to leave Boston near the middle of March. BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 29.—James Cochoran, the Kernville vigilante convicted of murder in the second degree for killing Deputy Sheriff Mitchell, was to-day in the Superior Court sentenced to thirty-six years' imprisonment in San Quentin. As he is now 40 years of age this is equivalent to a life sentence. It is looked upon as a very severe sentence by some, but the jury stood eleven for murder in the first degree with life imprisonment, to one for acquittal, and commenced simply to save a new trial. Judge Brundage probably took this fact into consideration in passing sentence. TUCSON, December 28.—A curious marriage took place at Fuller's ranch, near here last Sunday. The Chinese gardener of that place was married to a dusky maiden belonging to the Apache tribe. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. H. Messenger of this city. Quite a number of people were present, and in order to create some sport, the Chinaman was forced to part with his spouse as a part of the ceremony. He objected first but finally submitted. The mother of the girl opposed the marriage, but to n We can raise all the alfalfa we want to and all this with but very little irrigation. We have some alkali lands and right side of it abundant evidence that by concerted action it can be thoroughly reclaimed; we have a little land for sale at reasonable prices; we have a people who are becoming prosperous and contented, and hope "Nemo" is enjoying the same great blessing. On Tuesday of last week Rev. J. H. Webb organized a Band of Hope here of about forty members. Superintendent, Miss M. A. McCoy; Asst. Supt., Mrs. Lyman; President, Miss Bessie Stephens; Vice President, Miss Hattie Clark; Secretary, Miss Lutie Lyman; Treasurer, Willie McCoy; Usher, Miss Ada Kiefhaber; Sentinel, Miss Hattie McCoy; Chorister, Miss Birdie Leffler; Chaplain, Rev. Mr. Robinson. Such societies if properly conducted are of great advantage in training children and young people in parliamentary rules and methods, and in showing them the results of organized over individual effort. We wish them success in their undertaking. Our Christmas trees were grand successes and coming on different evenings is a commendable feature, as it gives all a chance to visit each one and enjoy the pleasures of such intercourse. On Friday evening, at the Congregational Church, after a very interesting programme consisting of instrumental and vocal music, recitations, etc., the heavily laden tree was relieved of its burden and the presents, many of which were very choice, were distributed to a crowded house. Your correspondent tallied the number at 741. Then on Saturday evening, at the Presbyterian Church, we looked in on a house filled with happy and expectant faces, gazing with interest on a large tree filled from top to bottom with a choice collection of presents for old and young. After the opening exercises the lights were turned down low, and all were pleasantly surprised to see the tree gradually open back, from the centre displaying a beautiful emblematic tableau—a little child draped in white, standing in the midst of the tree holding in his hands various emblems, while on his shoulder a beautiful dove was perched in quiet security. All was lighted by a brilliant red light for a few moments, after which the tree gradually closed, the lights were turned on and the distribution of the presents begin. They were endless in variety and nearly so in number. Two gentlemen keeping count recorded over 800 while your correspondent tallied as before and made over 750. It was nearly impossible to keep an exact account in either case, owing to the merry laughter over some gift called for a resident on Bachelor Avenue, mingled with the strains from numerous whistles, harmonicas and popguns. But it is fair to assume that upward of 1500 presents were distributed from both trees. Mr. McMillan was the recipient from the Christmas tree at the Presbyterian Church of a purse containing $37 40, a contribution from his neighbors as a taken of sympathy for the loss of his horse a short time since. The subscription paper was circulated by the lady that drives the yellow horse. We notice many visitors here, among them Mr. and Mrs. Evans Trefethen from Virginia, (Nev.), December 28.—Jerry Ander Pollock and wife, a couple nearly 60 years old, were burned to death about 6 o'clock this evening. Every indication points to a horrible murder. The old couple keep the tollhouse in Six-Mile canyon, about two miles from town, and it is generally supposed they were murdered for money. The house they were living in was burned, and the neighbors residing near found the charred remains of the old people within six feet of the door, lying side by side, with their heads in opposite directions. The forehead of Mrs. Pollock was crushed in, and the skull of Mr. Pollock was broken near the right temple. A passing teamster saw a person, supposed to be a man dressed in women's clothes, enter the house about half an hour before the fire broke out, and search is now being made for the person. New York, December 28th.—An evening paper has the following: The reputable dealers of Fulton and Washington Markets were much interested in the announcement that 150 cases of California garlic had arrived here on board the steamship Colon. The experiment of raising this odoriferous vegetable in California for shipment to New York, which is now tried for the first time, has excited a great degree of jealousy among the farmers and gardeners of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, who have heretofore enjoyed the monopoly of the garlic business. It is also feared by some that the introduction of cheap garlic from California will spoil the demand for onions. Another consignment of California garlic will reach this port in the latter part of the present week. TOMBSTONE, A. T., Dec. 29.—Last night about half-past 11 o'clock as the United States Deputy Marshal was crossing Fifth street, between the Oriental saloon and Eagle brewery, and when in the middle of the street, he was fired upon with double-barreled shotguns, loaded with buck-shot, by three men concealed in an unfinished building diagonally across on Allen street. Five shots were fired in rapid succession. Marshal Earp was wounded in the left arm just above the elbow, producing a longitudinal fracture of the bone. One shot struck him above the groin, coming out near the spine. The wounds are very dangerous, possibly mortal. The men ran through the rear building and escaped in the darkness. COLUSA, December 27.—Professor G. A. Kern, Principal of our public school, in taking a book from his library yesterday morning, about 9:30 o'clock, accidentally knocked a loaded pistol from the shelf, which, in falling, struck a lower shelf and was discharged. A ball entered the Professor's abdomen about four inches to the right of the Mr. McMillan was the recipient from the Christmas tree at the Presbyterian Church of a purse containing $37,40, a contribution from his neighbors as a taken of sympathy for the loss of his horse a short time since. The subscription paper was circulated by the lady that drives the yellow horse. We notice many visitors here, among them Mr. and Mrs. Evans Trefethen from Wilmington, Mr. and Mrs. Poor from Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Winston from San Gabriel, Mrs. W. H. Marquis from Santa Ana, and the return of Miss Carrie McCoy who has been teaching school at Carbondale. All are home for the holidays; also Misses Craig, King and Miss Jessie McCoy who have been attending school at Los Angeles. Mr. Al. Ball, Walter and Zanie Leffler and Mr. A. H. McDowell are with us for a few days. About twenty-five of our young folks, who are determined to have all the Christmas they can this year, paid a visit to the Garden Grove tree on Monday evening. We thought that our trees had life enough, but when we saw their tree start off on a waltz with all its lights gleaming, we knew that there must be some new things under the sun. We were told that there were 423 presents on the tree. The social on Tuesday evening was a very pleasant affair. Worthy of special mention were solos by Mrs. Cady and Miss Witham. The supper was excellent and plenty of it, and plenty of folks to eat it. Small-pox prevails to an alarming extent in many Eastern cities, and there are several cases of the disease in Oakland and San Francisco. Physicians fear it will become epidemic, and general vaccination is urged. One hundred and twenty-five tons of castor beans were gathered in the immediate vicinity of Downey City during the past season. The Western Union Telegraph Company will make a material reduction in telegraph rates next week. Colusa, December 27.—Professor G. A. Kern, Principal of our public school, in taking a book from his library yesterday morning, about 9:30 o'clock, accidentally knocked a loaded pistol from the shelf, which, in falling, struck a lower shelf and was discharged. A ball entered the Professor's abdomen, about four inches to the right of the navel, passing through his lower bowels and lodging in his left hip, producing a fatal wound. He lingered until 9 o'clock this morning, when he died. Chicago, December 27th.—The Texas and Pacific Railroad is now completed to a junction with the Southern Pacific Railroad at El Paso, Texas, and will be opened as a through line for business to points in New Mexico, Arizona and California about January 1st. Sleeping cars will be run on the express trains from St. Louis to Deming without change, and third-class sleeping cars will be run on emigrant trains with but one change to California. New Orleans, December 27th.—Phillips Marshall & Co., of London, have just concluded the purchase of 1,300,000 acres of land from the State of Mississippi. Seven hundred and sixty thousand acres, known as the leves lands, are located mostly in the Yazoo delta comprising some of the richest cotton and timber lands in the South. The intention is to improve, colonize and cultivate. Jersey City, December 27th.—Joseph McLeary was seized with the worst form of black small pox, and refusing to go to a pest house was taken by a friend to the police station. The police barred the doors and the man was deposited on the sidewalk where he died surrounded by a crowd. REDUCTION IN PRICES At The DRY GOODS PALACE, OUR NEW STOCK ARRIVED ON THURSDAY.
