WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...JANUARY 7, 1882 Three different persons have occupied the office of President of the United States within the last year, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. The only other time during the history of the country that three persons occupied the Presidential chair in one year was in 1841, by Van Buren, Harrison and Tyler. The schoolmistress at Rush Creek, Ohio, is short and slender. Considering her lightness, nine of the biggest boys concluded that it would be a trifling feat to pick her up bodily and carry her out of the house; but they did not take her activity into account, and when they undertook to carry out the plot she fractured one skull with a heavy ruler, scratched several faces terribly, and discolored three eyes. Lorillard, the tobacco man, has organized a company which proposes to build steamers to ply between New York and English ports for the passenger trade only. They are to make the passage between New York and Liverpool in five days. This is declared impossible by many; in any event the experiment will be tried, and if it fails nobody can afford to lose the money better than Lorillard. A correspondent, reviewing the events of 1881 in Ireland, says: The year closed in confusion, contention and a war of races and classes. Commercial credit is broken. The spirit of the country is sunk in deep depression. The scare produced by the large importations of American cattle has abated. The result of the year's trade shows a decrease of 30 per cent. in imports. The Irish cattle trade, however, has improved, and farmers in this branch feel encouraged. A New York paper, speaking of Guilt- Civil Service Reform is a subject to which much attention is being paid just now. The murder of Garfield is held by many to be directly due to the system of civil service in vogue in this country; but even before that dire event, the evils of the system were generally recognized, and the Civil Service Reform Association, composed of men eminent in both political parties, have for nearly two years past been endeavoring to impress the public with the necessity of a radical reform in the matter of Federal appointments. Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, in speaking of the matter in Congress the other day said that "the spoils system eats out 'the soul and consumes the life-blood of the 'legislator, and must be ended, or he will 'degenerate into a mere purveyor of offices.' That this is true, everyone knows. It matters not whether a man is a candidate for the office of Conatable or Congressman, he will have men in the field working for him, who do not deem it necessary to conceal the fact that their reward is to be an office of some kind, if their "man" is elected. The more impecunious the candidate, the more liberal he is in promising office to influential supporters. Any man elected to office under such circumstances is unfit for the trust imposed upon him; he is the slave of the men who elected him, and all his time and energy is used up in watching for spoils with which to reward his henchmen. While the evil effects of the present miserable system are recognized, it is unfortunate, but inevitable, that there should be a clash of opinions in regard to the remedy, and it will be some time yet before effective reformatory measures will be adopted. Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, has a bill which he is endeavoring to pass, providing for the appointment of a commission and boards of examiners, who shall have power to make appointments. Another Senator says that the simplest and most effective way to remedy the evil is for the President to issue two orders: 1st, No man will be appointed to any office while he is in the city of Washington. 2d, No man will be appointed to any office who brings, unasked by the appointing power, the recommendation of any member of Congress. Such orders, rigidly EVAPORATION In discussing benefits to be derived from which it isheim Water Company present year, we very few deny that from it, and that it is a necessity, maintion and seepage apply that our estimate inches of water for Evaporation and so quantity, that any thereto cannot ease are certain generals with from which accurate, can be no tter from Mr. Griffin our request for information.

"At Medellin, at level of the sea and the dry season—the above 60° and the found that the evaporation (these two cause the reservoir one) in a deep, narrow amounted to 0.12 inch of 72 days." A CORRESPONDENT, reviewing the events of 1881 in Ireland, says: The year closed in confusion, contention and a war of races and classes. Commercial credit is broken. The spirit of the country is sunk in deep depression. The scare produced by the large importations of American cattle has abated. The result of the year's trade shows a decrease of 30 per cent. in imports. The Irish cattle trade, however, has improved, and farmers in this branch feel encouraged. A NEW YORK paper, speaking of Guitton's behavior while in the Court room, says that he is producing an effect on the jury and on the public the very reverse of what he expects to produce, and that it is informed by intelligent spectators who have witnessed a considerable part of the trial, that a smile does not pass over the face of a single juror at any of his brutal remarks or any of his witticisms, which produce disgust or laughter among the audience. In the public of Washington there are a few persons who entertain doubts about his sanity; but so far as an opinion can be formed on the effect of his conduct on the jury, it is quite apparent that he is simply preparing and confirming their minds toward a verdict of guilty. A LONDON Tory paper says: The irony of destiny has never made itself more apparent than in the career of John Bright. One illustration may suffice to substantiate this statement. No man has so energetically denounced the existence of sinocreff offices. He designated them as jobs, founded for the sole purpose of affording outdoor relief to the aristocracy. This, however, was before he had attained his fifteenth year, or worn the Queen's livery. Since then we find him holding one of the most lucrative sinocreff offices under the Crown—that of Chancellor to the Duchy of Lancaster. Beyond the signing of tickets giving admission to fashionable marriages at the Savoy Chapel, Mr. Bright has really nothing else to do than to draw his salary of £2,000. DR. WILLIAM ROBINSON of Chicago is said to have discovered a process of converting glucose or grape sugar into the pulverized, granulated or loaf forms. Glucose comes in hard lumps of various sizes, slightly yellow as to color and decidedly "waxy" as to touch. After undergoing the purifying process it is perfectly white, dissolves readily in water, and is about half as sweet as cane sugar. The purified sugar can be readily mixed with the cane, but, whether alone or mixed, makes a very palatable article. The doctor claims that he can convert crude grape sugar into the refined article, either granulated or pulverized, at a cost not to exceed a quarter of a cent a pound. When thus converted and purified, he claims that it will not cost four cents a pound at wholesale. QUITE a commotion was excited in the Board of Supervisors yesterday by the receipt of a communication from County Recorder Lamb declining to pay over to the County Treasurer the sum of $709 10, surplus fees for December, which under the provisions of the Ellis bill ought to have passed into the hands of that official. Recorder Lamb's action is based upon the late decision of the Supreme Court in a case which was appealed from Mariposa county, in which that tribunal decided that a bill similar in its provisions to the Ellis bill was unconstitutional. The Recorder tells the Board that he has employed counsel, in the persons of the Messrs. Brunson & Wells and the Messrs. Bicknell & White, to maintain his position. Should this view of the Ellis bill be found tenable, the County Recorder would soon bring an action for the recovery of $6000 or $7000 surplus fees paid over to the county under the Ellis act. County Tax Collector Cullen, during the same period, has paid over surplus fees amounting to $10,000 or $12,000. Take it for all in all, it is a pretty pickle, and has aroused the Supervisors to a lively pitch of indignation, resulting in a motion to suspend the payment of the salary of the recalcitrant Lamb. Should we have a dry year and this recouping on the County Treasury together, our people would think that they are the beneficiaries of a local dispensation about equivalent to that of the seven plagues of Egypt—Herald. The chapel of Knock, in Ireland, is getting more and more famous for the wonderful cures said to have resulted from the visit of diseased persons to its holy precincts. The well authenticated cases of cures staggered belief of the incredulous, but it would be greater if kersfield and great at Anaheim—became grees of humidity yet.

The San Francisco following item of storage reservoirs in the Sierra Nevada Company, Nevada G. C. Briggs, of Yolo county, whose raisins have made his name famous, in a recent newspaper article said: "It makes no difference how rich and deep and fine the soil, vines or trees cannot produce perfect fruit without water while that fruit is being matured and ripened. Irrigation is the last necessity. I believe in California as a fruit-growing and raisin-producing country. We have the climate and soil in many localities to make the best fruit-growing and raisin-making country in the world. We can not only supply the Eastern States, but Europe and Asia, with raisins, if the enterprise is properly taken hold of by enough of the right kind of people. But success depends on the proper selection of locality and proper management by proper persons. Two officials of the London General Post Office have invented and patented a method of automatically registering the number of letters stamped. The counting may be done by mechanical or by electric means. In the first case, a small counter similar to an engine counter is placed in the head or handle of the hand stamp, and each time the stamper presses it upon a letter it is registered on the counter. At the close of the day the stamp is opened, the number of letters stamped read off and registered, and the counter set ready for the next day's work. In the second case two methods have been devised for electrically effecting this object. In one the striking of the inking-pad causes electrical contact to be made, which transmits a current to a counter similar to that of a gas-metre, and no registers every letter stamped. The other method is similar in principle, but a lever stamp is employed. The chapel of Knock, in Ireland, is getting more and more famous for the wonderful cures said to have resulted from the visit of diseased persons to its holy precincts. The well authenticated cases of cures stagger the belief of the incredulous, but it will take a great deal of credulity to enable one to swallow the following story: A few years ago Mary Craddock, the little daughter of Mr. James Craddock, of Mystic, Conn., lost her eyesight during a protracted illness. The child was treated unsuccessfully by local physicians. A few weeks ago Mr. Craddock procured some mortar from the famous chapel of Knock, in County Mayo, Ireland. The cement was dissolved in holy water, and the solution was applied to the eyes of the blind girl. The patient also drank at morning and night of the remedy. Before a week had passed the girl began to see dimly, and before the end of the second week she had fully regained her sight. The cure has created much excitement in Mystic, and many people have visited the Craddock family to see the child. —The Herald says that a most energetic disinfecting process in now under way in Wolfskill’s orchard, which will leave the scale-bug and other pests no refuge but death and annihilation. In a few days a steam engine will be erected to expedite the process of pumping a disinfecting spray over the trees, and the various pestilent bugs will have no alternative but to surrender themselves to the cold obstruction of death. —Divine services as usual will be held in the Presbyterian Church tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 A.M. One week from to-morrow Jan. 15th, the Communion of the Lord’s Supper will be administered. There will be services in German tomorrow at 3 o’clock and Sunday School at 2 o’clock. The reservoirs of Company, Nevada are of 1,050,000,000 cubic feet; the Omega United, 300,000,000 Valley; 300,000,000 nia Water Company cubic feet; the El Niño voirs have a capacitie feet. There are alarms on the Feast American Rivers, which is 700,000,000 cubic feet; 7,600,000,000 cubic feet of water." The capacity of reservoir is 58,074,696 cubic feet. CLEVELAND, O., Knights of Pythias’ Tuscarora county, gave way, precipitate bering over two hurries. Two persons were fatally injured, and eighty more or less building took fire after a scene of the wights were nearly as shrieking, struggling to grope their way for the dark. By prompt escaped uninjured men by the terrific subdued, but not unseen been more or less beaten and wounded will mourn dred. The night scene is described na- EVAPORATION AND SEEP-AGE. In discussing with various people the benefits to be derived from the storage reservoir which it is the purpose of the Anaheim Water Company to build during the present year, we have found that, while very few deny that vast benefits will accrue from it, and that its immediate construction is a necessity, many believe that evaporation and seepage will so diminish the supply that our estimate of its capacity (400 inches of water for 167 days) is extravagant. Evaporation and seepage is so uncertain in quantity, that any assertion made in regard thereto cannot easily be disproved, but thers are certain general facts connected therewith from which deductions, more or less accurate, can be made. The following latter from Mr. Griffin, C. E., is in answer to our request for information on the subject: "The data on evaporation and leakage and filtration (seepage) are necessarily slight and imperfect. As evaporation occurs only at the surface of a fluid it of course depends to a great extent on the area of that surface exposed. Still, it is greater in shallow water than in deep water, for the sun's heat affects also the water in the bottom of a shallow pool. It also varies with the state of the atmosphere, and with the seasons, being affected with greater rapidity in dry weather—even when the temperature be low. So it is more rapid also during the prevalence of wind than in a calm. It is less in stagnant than in running water. Evaporation from reservoirs of like dimensions and construction would be greater in Anaheim than at Bakersfield, and greater on the Mojave than at Anaheim—because of the different degrees of humidity at these places. "At Medellin, a place 5200 ft. above the level of the sea and in latitude 5° North, in the dry season—the mean temperature being above 60° and the humidity very slight—I found that the evaporation, filtration and leakage (these two factors being small because the reservoir was almost a natural one) in a deep, narrow reservoir in the hills amounted to 0.12 inches daily during a period of 72 days. At Cartagena (in the same..." At Medellin, a place 5200 ft. above the level of the sea and in latitude 5° North, in the dry season—the mean temperature being above 60° and the humidity very slight—I found that the evaporation, filtration and leakage (these two factors being small because the reservoir was almost a natural one) in a deep, narrow reservoir in the hills amounted to 0.12 inches daily during a period of 72 days. At Cartagena (in the same country) Mr. Trautwine noted 2 inches in 16 days, the thermometer rising daily to 120° in the sun, the dews being heavy and the atmosphere highly charged with moisture. Annual evaporation in Great Britain is from 22 to 38 inches; at Paris 34 inches; at Boston, U.S., 32 inches; at various points in U.S. from 30 to 36 inches. In the usual calculations for reservoirs, filtration, leakage (these make "seepage") and evaporation are treated together. Leakage is not always very apparent; filtration (the sinking of water into the earth) never—nor is it easy to calculate it, for different soils have difference powers of absorption. There may be crevices in rock near the surface of the earth, embankments may be improperly constructed, and the like. This undetected loss is not infrequently greater than that caused by evaporation and leakage combined. Evaporation alone is sometimes greater than rainfall—in a given district, or country—sometimes less. In new reservoirs the loss is apt to be greater than in old—for in the former case embankments have not had time to settle, nor to become as water tight as they will be later. Actual experiment in every case is the only safe method of determining loss by evaporation, leakage and filtration. In the case you put, if the reservoir be properly constructed I do not think that the loss of water from these causes will be of any consequence practically—for the supply seems to be so far in excess of the demand." There is nothing in the above to cause alarm lest the waters in our reservoir should ascend heavenward or descend—ward. As we have already explained, the reservoir is a natural one, only requiring a dam across the mouth. The sides are compact, gravelly hills, and the bottom is not porous. Even if it was, the sediment with which the irrigating water is charged would in a very short time cement and render it water-tight. And it must be remembered that there will always be more or less water pouring into the reservoir in the summer months—always more than enough to counterbalance the wildest estimate of loss from seepage and evaporation. The San Francisco Bulletin publishes the following item relative to the capacity of storage reservoirs used in mining operations in the Sierra mountains: "The reservoirs of the Bloomfield Mining Company, Nevada county, have a capacity of 5200 ft. above the level of the sea and in latitude 5° North, in the dry season—the mean temperature being above 60° and the humidity very slight—I found that the evaporation, filtration and leakage (these two factors being small because the reservoir was almost a natural one) in a deep, narrow reservoir in the hills amounted to 0.12 inches daily during a period of 72 days.

CLEVELAND, O., January 2.—During the Knights of Pythias' festival at Shonesville, Tuscarora county, last evening, the floor gave way, precipitating the company, numbering over two hundred, to the floor below. Two persons were instantly killed, ten fatally injured, and between seventy and eighty more or less bruised or burned. The building took fire almost instantly, producing a scene of the wildest excitement. The lights were nearly all extinguished, leaving the shrieking, struggling mass of humanity to grope their way from the ruins almost in the dark. By prompt action of those who escaped uninjured and other citizens summoned by the terrible alarm, the fire was subdued, but not until quite a number had been more or less burned. The list of killed and wounded will number nearly one hundred. The night was very cold, and the scene is described as frightful in the extreme.
