WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... MAY 19, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. The railroad company have been asked to maintain an agent at the Orange station. Deeds aggregating $15,640 were filed for record in the office of the County Recorder on Wednesday. Albrecht Bros. have the contract for constructing five family fruit dryers for the Amaha Fruit Drying Company. On Wednesday C. W. Hart was sent up to the county jail for thirty days by Justice Bailey for disturbing the peace. Seelwink Post, G. A. R. has invited Rev. J. A. Emery of Anaheim to deliver the oration at Santa Ana on Memorial Day May 30th. Mr. J. Jager, an experienced wood worker of Los Angeles, has removed to Anaheim and opened a wagon-making shop with C. H. Arthur on Center street. The editor of the Gazette left for Remora on Wednesday in response to a telegram announcing the death of his niece. He will return on Monday. The performance to be given by the Anaheim Mustered Troupe on June 24, will be one of the best of its kind ever given in Anaheim, and should be well attended. M. L. Weick, Esq., has offered $5000 and twenty acres of land if the Odd Fellows of California will raise $15,000 more and locate the Old Fellow's College and Home at Pomona. A Horse Thief Suicides. Augustin Salzar, a Californian, committed suicide in Upper Santa Ana Tuesday night by shooting himself with a pistol, the ball entering the breast and causing death in a few minutes. It will be remembered that Salzar was a member of a gang of horse thieves who operated in and about San Luis Obispo last fall. At that time the gang stole nine horses from a Mr. Frithgagham of that town, which caused a vigorous search to be made for the thieves, nearly all of which were captured. Salzar was nabbed while entering a circus which was showing here at the time, being accompanied by his "girl." He was armed but being taken away the capture was easily effaced. He was led in jail, but managed to break away and escaped to Lower California, where he has been until recently when he was seized with a desire to visit his "friends" across the river. He arrived at the house where he suicided at 6 o'clock and lay down on the bed while the woman of the house was preparing something for him to eat. At 7 o'clock a pistol shot was heard and open rushing into the room Salzar was found gargling and he expired in a few minutes. The inquest held by Justice Bailey returned a verdict according to the above facts. The deceased had been engaged for a long time to a girl living in the neighborhood, and his thought she had refused to have anything to do with him. This it is thought together with the constant fear of arrest, induced him to take his life. Salzar was a dangerous character, and the community is well rid of him. Church Notes. There will be service at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, Anaheim, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Bishop Kip will administer the right of Confirmation. Rev. J. A. Emery will be ordained as a Priest at the Tustin City Church to morrow morning at 12 o'clock.

M. L. Wicks, Esq., has offered $3000 and twenty acres of land if the Old Fellows of California will raise $45,000 more and locate the Old Fellow's College and Home at Pomona. Colton is to have a new $3000 school house, the money for the building being donated by a public spirited citizen of the town who withholds his name from print. More of that class of citizens are needed in this ungenerous world. The corner stone of the new Episcopal church was laid in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. The ceremonies were performed by Right Rev. Wm I. Kip, Bishop of Californias, assisted by Rev. Elias Birdsall and two other ministers. Drummerers are getting thick as bees of late, and about as busy. One of our leading merchants reports having successfully "abol off" seven of them in a single day during the week. The merchant did not state how many of the gentry he had been unable to "stand off." Henry Grosgreen, the French Vaticanural expert who was in Anaheim some months ago, has returned to Paris to prepare a report of his two years observations of American vineyards. He propheses a great future for California wines, and thinks that our people cheat themselves by putting foreign labels on native wines. A party of fifteen of the Washburn excursion, which arrived here on the 10th tust, are having a pleasant four days' excursion, with a four horse conveyance, from here to the Cucamonga "Iowa Tract" and Riverside, the Villa, Pomona, and all points of interest. Many of them are hunting locations for homes.—Herald. Superintendent Sketchley has about a dozen and a half ostrich eggs in the incubator now, and expects the first chicks to hatch in a couple of weeks. The attraction to the ostrich farm will then be two-fold. He also placked the birds some time ago and sent the feathers to San Francisco to be smoothed out and dyed. They will then be offered for sale as momentous. The following were the exports from the Anaheim depot for the week ending May 16th: 102 pipes wine ... 145,170 lb 80 sacks wool ... 29,228 Church Notes. There will be service at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, Anaheim, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Bishop Kip will administer the right of Confirmation. Rev. J. A. Emery will be ordained as a Priest at the Tustin City Church tomorrow morning at 12 o'clock. This is a most interesting and impressive ceremony, and it is to be regretted that the edict will probably not contain all who will desire to see the service. At the close of the service in St. Michael's church on last Sunday evening, Mr. Emery announced the early arrival of Rev. H. J. Sheidan from Westfield, Mass, who will act with Mr. Emery as associate pastor of this mission. This arrangement has been misunderstood by some who got the impression that Mr. Emery would leave here. This is not the case. We learn that Mr. Sheridan will arrive here today, and at once enter upon his labors. We offer him a welcome to our community. The usual services will be held in the Presbyterian Church to morrow. Sunday school at 9:45 A.M., preaching at 11 A.M., subject: "What think ye of Christ?" Prof. W. A. Packard will conduct the music. The social prayer meeting will be held Wednesday evening at 7:45. All are invited to attend these services. On Monday, Mr. R. H. Gilman went up to Los Angeles, ostensibly on business purposes, but on Wednesday night he returned with a fair bride, and the happy couple immediately started to housekeeping. Frederick Gilman gave the boys the grand ship that time, but the aforesaid boys are determined to get even. We beg to tender our heartiest congratulations to the newly married couple with wishes for a happy life. A notice of the marriage on Sunday afternoon of Miss Katella Kuipp and Mr. J. Yager of Los Angeles, will be found under the appropriate heading. Ye hungry printers gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a generous piece of wedding cake, the donor being the fair bride herself. The editor being away, the cake was sampled without loss of time, and pronounced "ne plus ultra." Our best wishes go with the 'young couple' Kroeger's Hall was nicely decorated for the calico ball last night. A large number of navigations had been printed and sent to neighboring towns, and it was expected that the attendance from the suburbs would be large. We will give a report of the ball in our next issue. Our vinyardists have commenced sulphuring and topping their vines. There has been some fear of a "Santa Ana," and as The following were the exports from the Anaheim depot for the week ending May 16th: 102 pipes wine ... 145,170 Bs 80 sacks wool ... 29,228 " 105 cases eggs ... 6,270 " 61 boxes oranges ... 3,460 " Miscellaneous exports ... 38,942 " Total ... 223,076 Bs Thursday's rain was the finest of the season, and sheepmen and farmers are delighted, especially as it was unlooked for at this time of the year. Mr. Langenberger recorded eighty-hundredths for the day, making a total of 5.17 for the season. Mr. Darling recorded the rainfall as 1.77 at the Anaheim station, making a total of 8.1 inches for the season. Loose ground has been wet to a depth of more than a foot. Many farmers say they will plow and put in seed for hay, and are confident that a fair crop can yet be raised. D. M. Adams, Esq., yesterday filed a complaint in the Superior Court, on behalf of Charles Muller, charging Jacob Hast with slander. The plaintiff alleges that Hast has circulated reports that he (Muller) has three living wives besides the one to whom he was married a few weeks ago, in this city. This much married man, according to Hast's story, has his wives well distributed, one being at Seattle, Washington Territory, another in one of the Eastern States and a third in Germany. Both men are engaged in business, Muller being a restaurant keeper and Hast a baker and also interested in a restaurant at Santa Monica. For these false and slanderous reports, as Muller claims them to be, he has brought the above action, claiming damages in the sum of $5000. The suit is the first of the kind, we believe, that has been brought in this county for a good many years.—Herald. Kroeger's Hall was nicely decorated for the calico ball last night. A large number of navigations had been printed and sent to neighboring towns, and it was expected that the attendance from the suburbs would be large. We will give a report of the ball in our next issue. Our vineyardists have commenced sulphuring and tapping their vines. There has been some fear of a "Santa Ana," and as the growth of wood is long and tender, a wind at this time would break off a great number of branches. Two Mexicans amused themselves by engaging in a free fight on Sunday evening just outside of town. The usual amount of blood was spilled, when peace was restored; by the victor leading the way to an adjourning wine-cellar and "treating" the boys. We came nearer being visited by a frost Wednesday morning than many of our vigneiros are aware. The thermometer dropped to zero with the weather clear and still. The danger wass passed safely. Don't forget the gymnastic and minstrel performance at Kroeger's Hall on Monday night. The boys have been practicing assiduously of late and have become quite proficient in their specialties. Give them a good turn out. The first number of Recreation, the new weekly literary and society journal of Los Angeles, will be published to-day. Edward A. Weed is managing editor. The third Raymond-Whitecomb excursion party from the East arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The party consists of seventy-seven members. The schedule time by through express train by the Sunset route from Los Angeles to New Orleans, with through sleepers without change, is now only three days and nine hours. DO FIG TREES BLOSSOM? Testimony from Palestine That They Do Editor Gazette: Having the privilege of a personal acquaintance with Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field, whose more than interesting letters from the East have enriched the columns of the New York Evening and the minds of its readers for years past, I was led last winter to drop him a note on the subject of the blossoming of the fig, to which he very kindly replied, and stated that he had enclosed it to Dr. Post of Palestine for further information. The enclosed, from the Evening, gives the result. From the New York Evening Several months since we received from an old friend, once an active business man of this city, but now a resident of California, the following letter of inquiry: Rev. Dr. Field Dear Sir: In your "Sinai and Palestine Letter," in the Evening of Dec. 21st, are these words: "The tender green of the olive and the red leaf of the pomegranate mingled with fig trees, which were now in full blossom." As expressed, this, to my mind, refers to the fig trees, and if correct on my part, is it not an error on yours? Or are there fig trees which blossom? We here in Southern California have all the varieties of the tree known in Europe and Asia; bearing fruit at least presumably so—but have never seen a fig tree in bloom, nor even the slightest appearance of a bad, the fruit making itself known by a small green swelling, like a pimple, on the bark of the twig, branch or limb, growing from the size of a small currant to that of a pea in a few days, and so on till the full size is attained; but at no time can anything approaching to the appearance of a blossom be seen. I think even the Bible refers to the blossoming also, and you will do me—and doubtless others on this coast—a favor in deciding from your own personal observation which is correct—the Bible, or he who in this glorious climate sits under his own vine and fig tree in Los Angeles county. A Curious Capture. A dispatch to Chief King, on Tuesday, stated that a man named Peper Kolbe, who had been a barkeeper and general utility man at the United States Hotel in San Francisco, had decamped and might be in Los Angeles, was read to the force and a brief description of the man was given. He was described as a light young man with whiskers and a "hungry face." Yesterday Officer Reynolds espied a man with a hungry look in his face alight from the San Francisco emigrant train, but the fellow had no whiskers to mark his features. But the officer took him in and turned him over to the Chief, who examined his person and baggage and found a fine lot of new clothing, which the prisoner said he had purchased in Sacramento, which was true. The burglar's keys in the trunk found by Captain Cuddy, did not look the representative of innocence, and the Captain told him he might as well owning and helpless. LOS ANGELES MARKETS.

Post-Office Letter List. There are letters in the Anaheim post office for the following persons: W.T Barnett, Frank Hare, Wm A Carpenter, Dr.A L Cole, Scott Cronch, Frank Cullan, H.K Day, T.C Hall, MR Walker, Mamie Jones, N.A Stiles, E.E Johnson, M Verder, Matilda Miller, Tim McAnarma, Alice Rutherford, Mr Stewart, J.A Smith. In this case, as in a multitude of others, it is not necessary to raise a question with the Bible; for the Bible is right, and our correspondent is right also, the apparent difference being caused by using the word "blossoming" in a different sense. To be perfectly accurate, we sent the letter to Dr. Post, who is a distinguished botanist, and has besides been nearly twenty years in the East. He answers as follows. "The fig tree does not bear visible blossoms, in the ordinary sense of the term. The fig is a sac lined with minute blossoms, which can be plainly seen with the naked eye on cutting open a young fig just before it begins to ripen. Each of the innumerable projections from the bining membrane of this pouch is a tiny flower. When the fig is ripe, these flowers are replaced by the seeds, which are surrounded by the sweet, juicy calyx of the flower, and the honey-like secretion on which depends the delicious taste of the fruit. "The young figs appear by the side of the leaves at the same time with them. A fig树 with leaves on it, but without any frink, will bear nothing that season. In some of the wild varieties of figs the fruit appears before the leaves, and attains some size before they unfold, as in the case of the Ficus pseudo-sycomorus of the Wilderness of the Wandering. We lunched under one of these wild fig trees the first day we entered the Tih. You will remember it beside that brackish fountain, two hours north of the Nakbier Rakineh. "The appearance of the young fruit is doubtless the blossoming of the fig. It is quite likely that the ancients recognized that the little green knob contained the flowers, or was itself a closed-up flower." From this it appears that our friend in California is correct: that fig trees do not blossom "in the ordinary sense of the term;" that the blossoms are within the fruit; but the swelling of the fruit with these imprisoned flowers gives to the fig tree a freshness and bloom which cause it to be spoken of as a "blossoming"-a form of expression common in the East, and sanctioned by the Bible (Habakkuk iii. 17): "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat... Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will joy in the God of my salvation." The Board of Supervisors have decided upon the following license rates: Dry goods and general merchandise, two classes; first class $10 and the second class $5. Peddlers, two horse wagon, $40 per quarter; foot peddlers $3 per quarter. Saloons two classes; first class $10 and the second class $5 per quarter. The above is to take effect after the next meeting of the Board. A praise service was held according to announcement in the Presbyterian church last Sabbath evening. A good audience was present which joined with interest in the singing. Professor Packard rendered original music in his usual excellent manner. The pastor read suitable passages of Scripture, and addressed earnest practical remarks to those present. Capt. Geo. C. Knox has been elected City Engineer of Los Angeles, vice Geo. Hansen, resigned. The office is an important and profitable one. Mr. E. S. Saxton makes the total rainfall of the season up to Wednesday 5 and 9-16 inches. Thursday's rain will increase the figures to over six inches.
