WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MARCH 10, 1853 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The new revenue bill, which has become a law, is especially welcome to bankers, as it remits the tax on deposits. The stamp duty has also been abolished, and there is now no necessity for affixing a two-cent stamp to checks. The new law does not affect the tariff on liquor. The revised and final figures of the population of the United States, issued by the Census Bureau are as follows: Males ... 25,518,820 White ... 43,402,970 Females ... 24,636,963 Colored ... 6,580,793 Native ... 43,475,840 Chinese ... 105,405 Foreign ... 6,679,943 Japanese ... 148 Indians ... 66,307 Total ... 50,155,783 The population in 1850 was 23,191,876, so that in thirty years it has more than doubled. Before the Napa Grape Growers Association the question of scraping off the loose shaggy bark of the grape vine was recently discussed. The weight of evidence appeared to be in favor of scraping off the outer bark and then washing the stock of the vine with a solution of lime, keyosene and sulphur, in order to destroy all insects or insect germs that might exist in the interstices of the bark. The Legislature has passed, and the Governor has signed a bill legislating the Harbor Commissioners out of office. No effort is made to conceal the fact that the subject of this bill is to make place for a new set of officials of Democratic persuasion, and is not due to any desire to promote the public weal. This is one of the clearest areas of injustice which Civil service reform is intended to prevent, and nothing will aid and promote the adoption of that reform so much as such abuses of power as the one referred to. The Legislature has passed, and the Governor has signed, a bill legislating the Harbor Commissioners out of office. No effort is made to conceal the fact that the subject of this bill is to make place for a new set of officials of Democratic persuasion, and is not due to any desire to promote the public weal. This is one of the diagrams of injustice which Civil Service reform is intended to prevent, and nothing will aid and promote the adoption of that reform so much as such abuses of power as the one referred to. Last year two women were chosen members of the Philadelphia school board on an independent ticket, the politicians not liking the idea. At the coming election a number of women will probably be elected to the board. The nominations already made are two by independent Republicans, four by independent Democrats, two by the regular Democrats, and two by Independents. The conservatism of Philadelphia, as well as the policy of the politicians has stood in the way of this movement to make women share in the responsibility of directing the course of education. A decided change is indicated. No one, especially Germans, will dispute the assertion that Bismarck is a level head individual. His views upon any question are generally the result of considerable thought. It will be interesting to know, therefore, his opinion of Sunday laws. He said recently: "As a landed proprietor do all in my power to support the observance of Sunday, but I would not have people legally compelled to keep the day regularly." There ought to be no ordinary work on Sundays, and I think so not so much on account of the Scriptural command, but because man must have time for proper repose." There is nothing very original in this idea, but it is a very common sense view. It is, at least, the view of the question which thousands entertain. To appreciate in all its fullness the status of farmers and laborers here, it is necessary to contrast the condition of these classes in this country and Europe. The simple statement that there are in England to-day twelve millions of people more than the country can feed, tells an alarming tale of woe. Without the grain of the Black Sea ports and that of America, these twelve millions of people would starve. Worn out soil and inclement weather keep the production of cereals down to the minimum, and makes the occupation of farming most unreminerative and laborious. The case is so desperate that even the London Times advises immigration as a remedy. In its issue of February 12th that paper says: Nobody would wish our agriculturalists to dismiss from their thoughts the very serious question whether they are likely to compete successfully with their American, colonial, and foreign rivals. They had indeed, better give their whole mind to the question, and then abide by the answer. If they think they cannot compete then by all means The last mail from France brought the report of the annual session of the Society of Agriculturists held January 30th to February 24th. The Viticultural Section discussed the two questions: Production of artificial clouds as a protection against spring frosts, and the use of insecticides for the extinction of Phylloxera. We gave a translation in a short extract, which contains points of interest to our viticultural readers. The Marquis de Damperre related his experiences.

Worn out soil and inclement weather keep the production of cereals down to the minimum, and makes the occupation of farming most unreminerative and laborious. The case is so desperate that even the London Times advises immigration as a remedy. In its issue of February 12th that paper says: Nobody would wish our agriculturalists to dismiss from their thoughts the very serious question whether they are likely to compete successfully with their American, colonial, and foreign rivals. They had, indeed, better give their whole mind to the question, and then abude by the answer. If they think they can compete, then by all means let them stay at home. We have no wish to drive or seduce into exile those who can get on here; but when people gravely tell us that, with the occupation and even the possession of many hundred acres, they are on the verge of bankruptcy, and see no escape, we can only advise them to try a freer state of society, a more genial soil, and a more equal sun. There certainly are more openings in the colonies or America than here, and even if we are not to believe all we are told, land is plenty out there, and good; bare subsistence is easy; there are fewer temptations; there are the charms of wild nature; and there is not the shame that here attends all condescensions below the rule of class. Why should they load themselves with the accumulated burdens and difficulties of an old world, a worn-out soil, and a social system heavily charged with the cost of pauperism, crime, war, and centuries of debt? The rising generation of agriculturists have abundant opportunity of answering for themselves whether they shall stay at home and face evils which their fathers assure them are growing upon us, or transfer themselves in a few days, and for a few pounds, to regions where there is no accumulation nor inheritance of man-made difficulties. We shall be excused if we look with a certain dismay to the chance of an entire class of helpless, moneyless, and witless agriculturalists appealing to the Legislature to set them going again and secure them from a repetition of their present reverses. We look to it with dismay, for we know they will not get what they ask for; indeed, the Legislature will not be able to give it. The steamboat Yazoo, which left New Orleans on Saturday evening for Bayou Mottoe and Tenaa, while turning a point during a high wind at 1 o'clock at night struck an obstruction, supposed to be a log and commenced to fill. She was landed and a line put out, which parted. The boat then sank and sixteen persons were drowned. The last mail from France brought the report of the annual session of the Society of Agriculturists held January 30th to February 2d. The Viticultural Section discussed the two questions. Production of artificial clouds as a protection against spring frosts, and the use of insecticides for the extinction of Phylloxera. We gave a translation in a short extract, which contains points of interest to our viticultural readers. The Marquis de Damierre related his experiences. Having found the use of thick oil too ouerous for the production of smoke clouds, and the employment of coal tar inconvenient for the purpose, because it will partly carbonize during combustion, he had obtained a good result by another method. At the beginning of the cold season he had ordered heaps to be made at convenient distances around his vineyards, of all kinds of refuse, cuttings and twigs, mixed up with bad weeds. These heaps had of course become moist; at the fall of the thermometer to 2 degrees below the freezing point (Celsius) putting fire to them, the smoke had for two seasons preserved his vines. A member expressed his disbelief in the efficacy of artificial clouds, although he did not condemn them altogether. A violent wind he thought would make smoke clouds improper for their purpose. Another member had personally observed that a more elevated temperature at a certain height of the vines would not prevent the excessive cold on the ground in consequence of frost, and for his part had been safe in not moving the soil around his vines, not even to take up bad weeds, from the end of March till May. WASHINGTON, March 5th. — The statistical agent of the Department of Agriculture in London reports that continued rains and floods have done great damage to the wheat crop and that there are gloomy anticipations of the worst failure for years. The area is also reduced and much resowing will be necessary. There is also much alarm at the spread of the feet and mouth disease among cattle. Local fairs throughout Great Britain have been closed.

Sacramento, March 5.-Henry Williams, a San Jose stable-keeper, and his wife arrived here last night and took a room in the top story of a lodging-house on Third and K streets. This morning Mrs.Williams appeared at the police station in search of her husband, and told a remarkable story about falling from the window of the room to the ground, a distance of forty feet.She says that about four or five o'clock this morning she arose from her bed, leaving the husband asleep, presumably, and went to the window.On the north and east sides of the building there is a balcony, but none on the side where the window is located.She had heard people walking during the night and thought there was a balcony on that side also, and she stepped out, intending to go to a closet.She remembers nothing else except falling, until about five o'clock consciousness returned and she found herself lying on the ground in a courtyard under the window.An investigation by the police verified her story.Her escape from injury was miraculous, as just south of the building there is a two-story frame house, the roof and tin waste-pipes leaving a space but three feet broad, through which she fell.Physicians examined the woman and pronounced her wounds of the most trivial nature, not a bone being broken. The strangest part of the whole affair is that the woman's husband has disappeared and no trace of him can be found.None around the house saw the man depart and no injuries were made by him regarding his wife's absence, although he must have seen her clothes on the chair and missed her when he got up in the morning. Changes in the Money Order System. Washington, March 5.-The bill modifying the postal money order system, so as to authorize postmasters and money order officers under the authority of the Postmaster-general to issue postal notes in denominations of $5 and under, pass both Houses of CongressThis is an important bill and will greatly facilitate business in small towns through the mailsIt authorizes the issue of money orders without the requirement of a signature. Congressional Districts. The Congressional Apportionment bill passed in the Assembly makes the following districts: The counties of Del Norte, Humboldt, Trinity, Siskiyou, Shasta, Modoc, Laassen, Plumas, Sierra, Butte, Tehama, Colusa, Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma shall compose the First Congressional District. The counties of Sacramento, Solano, Napa, Marin, Contra Costa and Alameda shall comprise the Third Congressional District. San Francisco shall comprise the Fourth and Fifth Districts.

Texarkana,Arizona,March Four.A.L.Johnson was spot dead in the Mid County Court House today.in the presence of the A Singular Funeral Service. GOWANDA, N. Y., March 6th. The funeral of E. M. Stebbins, the editor of the Cuba (N. Y.) Patriot, held yesterday, was attended by such novel features as to cause a profound sensation in the neighborhood. Stebbins was an unbeliever of the Ingersoll stripe. For many months he had been slowly wasting away with consumption. A few weeks ago he addressed a farewell editorial to his subscribers, in which he spoke of his approaching dissolution with the utmost fidelity. Prior to his death he exacted from his family a promise that no minister should be allowed to hold services over his remains. He was a member of the Knights of Honor and desired the services to be conducted by that society. He stipulated that the Knights and mourners, while following the remains to their resting place, should sing "Marching Through Georgia," and on the return from the cemetery all join in singing "Goodbye, My Love, Goodby." These strange requests were carried out, much to the horror and astonishment of the people. The deceased was for several years a postal clerk, and subsequently received an appointment as United States Consul to one of the Philippine Islands. While on the ocean a terrible storm swept over the Philippines, swallowing up one or two islands, and when the vessel arrived the Consul found his island had disappeared. Important to Orange Growers. The following letter is addressed to the Florida Agriculturist from Joseph Voyle, of Gainesville, Fla., who has been appointed by the Department at Washington, D. C., to take note of the different enemies of the citrus family and work out, if possible, ways and means for their destruction. "Will you please examine the leaves of the citrus trees near you, and ask your readers to do the Changes in the Money Order System. WASHINGTON, March 6th. The bill modifying the postal money order system, so as to authorize postmasters and money order officers under the authority of the Postmaster general to issue postal notes in denominations of $5 and under, pass both Houses of Congress. This is an important bill and will greatly facilitate business in small sums through the mail. It authorizes the issue of money orders without the corresponding advances of $5 and less, to be on engraved paper and known as postal notes, payable to bearer. Such notes are to be invalid after three months, but the holder can after that time get par value by applying to the Postoffice Department at Washington. For issuing each postal note a fee of three cents will be charged. The bill also authorizes the issue of money orders in denominations of $100 or less, but none for more than $100 can be issued. The following fees are fixed for the money orders: For orders not exceeding $10, savings from $10 to $15, 10 cents; $15 to $30, 15 cents; $30 to $40, 20 cents; $40 to $50, 25 cents; $50 to $60, 30 cents; $60 to $70, 35 cents; $70 to $80, 40 cents; $80 to $100, 45 cents. A Graveyard Sensation. Stockross, March 5. Yesterday a Mrs Morton, living near Bantas, sent some men to the Bantas graveyard to dismember for sepulture elsewhere, the body of her daughter. The men, not knowing exactly where the body was buried, commenced digging and at a depth of two feet came upon a rough box. This they opened and in it found, much to their astonishment, the body of a man buried with his clothes on. A boot was off one foot and lay in the box. The man's hat was on. The body was that of a man about mid-age, with a light complexion. No one knew who he was or how he came to be buried there. William Hounor, who had done, as he supposed, all the graying in the cemetery had until all this could be seen, was as much surprised as any one. He knew nothing whatever of this body or the box containing it. The general opinion at Bantas is that the body had been brought in on the cars in the flight and buried undetectably. It is the opinion of many that the man had been mired here somewhere, but there was no clue to his identity or where the body came from. Tax matter is to be investigated. The Baseball League. New York, March 5th. The annual meeting of the National Baseball League was held today, A. G. Meller, President, in the chair. The committee appointed to confer with the American Association reported that the Association had decided to accept the agreement proposed by the League. The report was adduced and the President... Important to Orange Growers. The following letter is addressed to the Florida Agriculturalist from Joseph Voyle, of Gainesville, Fla., who has been appointed by the Department at Washington, D.C., to take note of the different enemies of the citrus family and work out if possible, ways and means for their destruction: "Will you please examine the leaves of the citrus trees near you, and ask your readers to do the same, and tell me if a whitish dust is found in any quantity? If it be, I will condense the report and send the result to you for publication, as I think it is a matter of great importance to orange-growers. About the first of the month I found, while examining some scale insects, a number of white specks, quite regular in form under a pocket magnifier. The microscope resolved these specks into eggs laid in couples. At this date they have increased enormously. I counted within a space of one-twenty-fifth of an inch square, 160 couples of eggs. The ordinary orange leaf averages about five square inches of area, so that one leaf can accommodate 429,000 of these eggs. I believe it is the egg of the Bust Mite. Rusting the fruit is only a small portion of the injury done to the citrus family by this insect. If your readers in different parts of the State will send to me a postal card, when they find this dust-like egg, we can find out what area it has spread, and as I am keeping watch of the eggs to find the first hatchings, I shall be able to say if it is the Rust Mite or some other similar pest, and then, by experiment, find out how to exterminate it." The Legislature expires by limitation today. The members can, however, continue in session an indefinite length of time, but will receive no compensation for their extra labor. Denis Kearney has made application to the Governor for appointment as Harbor Commissioner. Ex-Senator Enos has been appointed Chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics by Gov. Stoneman. The Baseball League. New York, March 5th. The annual meeting of the National Baseball League was held to-day, A.G. Meller, President, in the chair. The committee appointed to confer with the American Association reported that the Association had decided to accept the agreement proposed by the League. The report was adopted and the President authorized to sign the agreement. League clubs are permitted to play non-League clubs upon such terms as may be mutually agreed to. The rule in relation to the umpire forfeiting the game on account of three foul balks was stricken out. In future a batsman becomes a base-runner instantly after two foul balks are declared. A foul-ball base-runner may take one base. In the summary of the game should be credited to the pitcher the number of times the batsman fails to hit the ball on the third strike. London, March 5th.—The Society for the Suppression of Blasphemous Literature propose to get up cases against Professors Huxley and Tyndall, Herbert Spencer, the publishers of John Stuart Mill's works, and John Morley and others, who by writings have sown widespread unbelief, and in some cases rank atheism. London, March 5.—George W. Foote, editor, Wm. J. Ramsey, proprietor, and Kemp, printer of the Free Thinker, who were found guilty of blasphemous libel, have been sentenced as follows: Foote, twelve month's imprisonment; Ramsey, nine months; Kemp, three months. Foote's sentence provoked a storm of yells. At Salt Lake a few days ago a young son of a man named Bonkofsky was found hanging in his father's barn, nearly dead. He was cut down and resuscitated. He charges that his father hanged him and said that he would kill him if he told the truth. Several neighbors corroborate the boy's story, although the father denies it.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1832, which injured or destroyed some of Windsurge in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the California Windmill is only one that stands uninjured, a heavy sale.
