WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...JULY 14, 1853 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. MARY BUELOCK got a ridiculously heavy verdict against the English company on whose railroad she was slightly hurt. But a new trial has been granted on the ground, as expressed by the Judge, that she and her sisters, who appeared as her witnesses, were so beautiful that their charm of person had seemingly deprived the jury of common sense. The new compulsory education law of Rhode Island requires that every child between the ages of seven and fifteen years shall have sixteen weeks of schooling each year. No child under twelve is to be allowed to work in any manufactory, and no one under fourteen who cannot write his name, age and place of residence, or read some part of the State Constitution. DR. B. L. JENKINS of London, who claims the credit of having predicted the present outbreak of cholera eleven years ago, contends in the Pall Mall Gazette that the disease which has periodically visited England is not Indian, but Arabian in its origin. The Indian cholera, he says, has uniformly exhausted itself in Russia and Germany, whereas the Arabian, in every instance where Egypt has been attacked, has been communicated to England. Dr. Jenkins takes the glorious view of the present outbreak in Egypt, predicting that before the year closes, the disease will be making ravages in every quarter of the globe. In our statement yesterday, in regard to pool selling at San Bernardino last week, we unintentionally did injustice to Mr. Jas. H. Royd, who assisted by Messrs. E. W. Noyes and E. A. DeCamp, was the Chief of The Water Question Discussed. Although only 674 shares were represented at the meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company on last Saturday, those present discussed the subject for the consideration of which the meeting was called. Mr. Guthrie, one of the Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, was present by invitation to explain the plans of that company. He said that the time had arrived when it was absolutely necessary to develop water. On the Santa Ana side of the river twelve thousand acres of land had to be irrigated and there was not water enough in summer to supply the land. There were trees suffering now which under the most favorable circumstances would not get water for six weeks. His company was satisfied that there was plenty of water in the river and that it could be brought to the surface by a pile dam, and they proposed to go ahead with the work immediately. The plan they had decided upon was to use piles twenty-five feet in length and make a dam of one hundred feet into the river, the theory being that this dam would arrest the water percolating through the sand and raise it to the surface, and by lowering the mouth of their ditch three feet, they could drain the water into their ditten. If the experiment was reasonably successful they would continue the dam across the river. The cooperation of the Anaheim Water Company was asked, and they were invited to pay one half of the expense and take one-half of the water. It this offer was not accepted, then his company would go on with the work and claim the entire water. The expense of the one hundred feet would probably not exceed $6000. After a general interchange of views the meeting adjourned to Wednesday, at which time only 400 shares of stock were represented. The matter was again thoroughly discussed, and on the question "shall this company pay one-half of the expense of the proposed pile dam?" the vote was unanimously in the negative. While hoping that In our statement yesterday, in regard to pool selling at San Bernardino, last week, we unintentionally disrupted Mr. Jas. H. Boyd, who assisted by Messrs. E. W. Noyes and E. A. Deamp, was the Chief of the Pool Department, and to whose promptness, affability and good business qualities much of the credit for the large amount of receipts at the pool ended were due. All the Los Angeles delegation present at the rays unite in thanks to Mr. Boyd for his promptness in settling all demands against the pool box. Heard. In a paragraph published the other day we regret that mention was not made of the valuable services rendered by Jim Blittkins who officiated as marker of the faro game. As a marker, Jim is a success, combining with the quarter in modo all the further in so necessary to the incumbent of so responsible a position. Of his partner, Cookeyed Sam, we can only repeat that he deft manner of dealing the keers extorted from those assembled around the table the heartiest encomiums. We are justly proud of having in our midst as citizens two men so thoroughly an fait in their chosen profession. Our Demis has been bloviating in Chicago and pouring the vials of his wrath on the anti-monopoly convention which excluded him because of their belief that he was a paid hireling of the railroads. In comment upon his original style of oratory, the Tribune says: "Mr. Kearney is a model stump orator. His long range adjectives poured forth thick and fast, cut the air like balls from a ten ton howitzer, and the big eight story building at the corner trembled like a dog in a wet sock, and if once these 'free trade, free rum, free love, Godforsaken, blackmailing cranks and profit mongering dudes, who know as much about the labor question as hens doabout Heaven," get fairly within range of his denunciations, they will wither like mown classes in the sunshine. When the full measure of his 500 horse power wrath is poured on those "screeching, scabby, scrubby politicians; those blackguards, blatherskites and scallawags," Heaven help them." Mr. Thomas Ochiltree, the gifted and garrulous Texan Congressman, is enjoying his vacation in London and finds much in our English consins which is distasteful to him. In a letter to a London newspaper he objects to the habit the English have of carrying their canes and umbrellas under their arms in such a manner as to imperil the eyes of pedestrians, and records how he began the work of reformation by knocking down an individual whose cane point had touched the Orbithane cheek. It this incident re- A Victory for the Baptists. An incident of the Fourth which until now eluded the vigilance of our reporter, is worth recording even at this late day: It appears that among the thousands who flocked to Anaheim on that day were three patriotic citizens of Westminster. In their normal condition, they were stand, steady going individuals; but, as thousands of good men have done before them, they partook slightly of the one hundred feet would probably not exceed $6000. After a general interchange of views the meeting adjourned to Wednesday, at which time only 400 shares of stock were represented. The matter was again thoroughly discussed, and on the question "shall this company pay one-half of the expense of the proposed pile dam?" the vote was unanimously in the negative. While hoping that the expectations of our Santa Ana friends would be fully realized, the opinion was generally expressed that the dam would be costly failure. We have little doubt that had a proposition been made for the Anaheim Water Company to join them in some scheme for the development of water which had the sanction and endorsement of some engineering authority, a different response would have been made. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved That the Board of Directors are hereby authorized to employ competent person to ascertain by a series of measurements the points in the Anaheim ditch where the loss of water by seepage is greatest, and they are further instructed to mind diames wherever it is necessary to prevent loss of water." Other matters were discussed among them the practicability of pumping water into the ditch. The feasibility of consolidating the various water companies on this side of the river was also broached, and the present attitude of the various companies to each other was deplored. The idea of consolidation did not seem to be received with disfavor, and we are led to infer that the wisdom of such a course is becoming more and more apparent. We do not believe that there can ever be a union on the basis of equality in use of the water; for not only has the Anaheim Water Company an undoubted priority to the use of the water, but the lands irrigated through that Company's ditches require more water than the less sandy and porous land is irrigated through the Cajon ditch. It is the North Anaheim canal Company have any disposition to accept the olive branch, and will make some concessions of the kind indicated, we doubt not that any proposition they may make will receive the respectful and earnest consideration of the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company.

Destruemeeting last night relief purposes lowing are known Mrs. Hopkins of R.T. Lacy of name unknown, of Mr.Orr of An Mr. Thomas Ochiltree, the gifted and garrulous Texan Congressman, is enjoying his vacation in London and finds much in our English cousins which is distasteful to him. In a letter to a London newspaper he objects to the habit the English have of carrying their canes and umbrellas under their arms in such a manner as to imperil the eyes of pedestrians, and records how he began the work of reformation by knocking down an individual whose cane point had touched the Ochiltreean cheek. It this incident really occurred (which is not at all likely, as the gifted Tom seldom speaks or writes the truth) no possible injury could have been done to his cheek, which is altogether too brazen to be abraided by a job from a cane. But assuming that the incident is true, and that Thomas keeps on the work of reform, we greatly fear a special election to fill a vacancy in Congress will soon have to be called in his district; for whatever faults the Cockneys may have, they have never been accused of being averse to a row or of submitting to a knock down even from an American Congressman. The County Judge of Jefferson county, Texas, is in no enviable plight. The case of certain violators of the election laws will soon come up for trial before him, and the offenders have given notice that they will go into Court armed, and if the trial results in their conviction they will kill the Judge and everybody connected with the Court. As they have already assassinated the principal witness against them, it is evident that they are capable of putting their threats into execution. We commend to the perplexed Judge the plan of procedure adopted by Judge Witherby when he was County Judge of Los Angeles county away back in the fifties. A gang of cut-throats had openly proclaimed their intention of browbeating the Court and rescuing a prisoner on trial for murder should he be convicted. Sure enough, when the day of trial came, the rufians filed into Court fully armed. But a squad of United States troops also filed in, and as a consequence the proceedings of Court that day were of the most decorous description. A lad named Henderson was run over by the cars at Chico and killed. A Victory for the Baptists. An incident of the Fourth which until now eluded the vigilance of our reporter, is worth recording even at this late day: It appears that among the thousands who flocked to Anaheim on that day were three patriotic citizens of Westminster. In their normal condition, they were staid, steadily going individuals; but, as thousands of good men have done before them, they partook slightly of the cup that cheers until, as the Scotch say, they were nae fou but just had plenty. When the time approached for their departure they repaired to where stood their team and two of them got into the wagon without much difficulty. The third, however, was disposed to be a trifle intractable, and withstood the physical assistance tendered him by a clerical gentleman who presides over one of our churches. Turning to this good Samaritan, the intractable person said, with a gravity born of beer: "The whole [hic] Presbyterian congregation can't put me in this wagon." A tall, but seemingly not stalwart Professor of Music who was standing by, at this juncture stepped forward and seizing the man by the coat collar and seat of his unmentionables tossed him into the wagon, remarking as he did so, "The Baptist congregation can put you into that wagon mighty quick!" The merry three, though loyal Presbyterians, acknowledged the physical supremacy of the Baptists, and went on their way rejoicing. Church Notes. Rev. J. H. Clark of Santa Ana will preach in the Presbyterian church to-morrow. Rev. W. W. Wells of Michigan is expected to arrive in California the last of this month. He will take charge of the Westminster Presbyterian church. Rev. F. H. Robinson will preach in the Presbyterian church in Westminster Sunday, July 22d. —A New York telegram says that oil drillers and their families, numbering forty persons, have gone from Bradford, McKean county, Pennsylvania, to bore for oil near Newhall in this country. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. There are ten murderers confined in the San Francisco jail. A destructive fire occurred at Lincoln, Placer county, destroying the principal block in town. There will be two hangings in Sacramento on August 20th. Joe Hurtado and Simon Raten, murderers, will expiate their crimes on that day. The first consignment of grapes of this season was received in San Francisco on Wednesday from Vacasville. They are of the Sweetwater variety and sold at $1.50 per box. A Mrs. Fisher of Cambria, San Luis Obispo county, while temporarily insane last week, strangled her in ant child. She will be sent to the asylum. At Austin, Nev., last week, Frank Kessell, aged 13 years, while on horseback, was caught under the chin by a clothes line and so thrown that his head struck upon a stump. He died in a few minutes. Carolina Cluff, daughter of Gertie De Force Cluff, attempted suicide at Loch last week because her mother forbade her associating with a young man from Sacramento, wito whom she was smitten. Near Redwood City E. Leighton, while oiling the journals of a threshing machine, had his foot caught by the cylinder, and in an instant all the lower part of the left foot and six inches above the ankle was torn to atoms. The foot was subsequently amputated. While endeavoring to disentangle a net caught in the shaft of a rag cutting machine in the paper mill, a Chinaman named Ko Kuhn Chow was wound around the shaft and literally ground to pieces. The shaft made three hundred revolutions per minute, and it was about two minutes before the machinery could be stopped. Pelican fishing is an industry practised down at the sink of the Carson.

Lower of Sacramento fell from a willow tree, a distance of some 12 feet, and received injuries from which she died in about an hour. It appears that the swing in which she amused herself needed some repairs, which she undertook to make herself. One of the limbs upon which her weight rested broke off and she was precipitated to the ground head first. Advices from Butte Valley, White Pine county, give the particulars of a murder and lynching among the Indians. A spaw named Minne, brought up among the whites, was killed by her buck, on account of jealousy, it is supposed. As soon as news of the murder got out the tribe held a consultation, ropes were probed, and the murderer was dragged about till his persecutors tired of the amusement. He was then hitched to a horse and snaked to death. At Salt Lake on Tuesday afternoon two men entered Zoon's Savings Bank, on Main street, and while one engaged the attention of Mr. Schettler, the cashier, the other struck him over the head with an iron bar, falling him to the floor. The robbers then gathered all the money in sight and ran. The noise attracted the attention of parties in the same building, who rushed in as the robbers ran out. They found the cashier bleeding freely, but his wounds are pronounced not dangerous. The amount of money stolen is not yet known, but it is supposed it will not exceed $100. The robbery was committed by a son of Apostle Rich and a son of Elias Smith, Probate Judge of Salt Lake County. Smith was arrested, but Rich is still at large. A London (Ontario) dispatch of the 11th instant says: The river here has risen to an unprecedented height, and the destruction of property is fearful. So far as known eight houses were carried away and three persons drowned. It is feared that many others perished, as a large number are missing.

The river rose rapidly infiltrating West London. Nearly every one in the village, which numbers about 2,000 souls, had to take refuge on the house tops. Many men were drowned. Houses were washed over as if built of paste-board and carried down the river. Six bodies were taken out of the river last night, these being Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Constance, Mrs. Hutchinson and three of the Tracy family. The list will yet be swelled. Destruction is widespread. At a meeting last night $700 was subscribed for relief purposes.

The speaker alleged that, at the following Sabbath, the disorderly man went in the river bathing and was drowned. William Dwyer of Albany read the newspaper report, and considering the allusion was made to his son James, who was drowned two weeks ago, made complaint against Mrs. Lavender for criminal libel. The accused was arrested and gave bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. A special from Erie, Pa., says: While traveling to New York yesterday, E.M. Sackett, a prominent attorney of the Erie bar, was accosted by two strangers, who requested him to surrender without any fuss, or have his brains blown out. They proved to be detectives in search of a California bank defaulter. Thinking he was being "guyed," the lawyer punched one head and was going for the other when he was overpowered and strongly manacled. The detectives compared his anatomy with their description list and marched him off to the station. He was incarcerated for several hours before the mistake was discovered.

The New York Board of Aldermen passed, over the Mayor's veto, their resolution giving skilled and unskilled laborers in the employ of the city a half holiday from the hour of noon every Saturday, until the 15th of September next. J. R. Laper, proprietor of a soap factory at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was missed by his emplores on Wednesday evening, and after search his remains were found in a soap vat eight feet deep. It is supposed he fell in while emptying a barrel of fat. The body was horribly decomposed by action of the soap and lye, and his clothes were all eaten off. John Whelahan of Clifton, Staten Island, is 13 years old. Last spring he was climbing a tree to rob a bird's nest one Sunday afternoon when the limb bent, and he fell to the ground, breaking his collar bone. Last Sunday afternoon he climbed the same tree for the same purpose, fell out of the tree and broke his leg. At Macon station, on the Alabama Central Railroad, a man named Carpenter had three shots fired in his head by his brother-in-law, A.W. Smith. Smith soon afterwards fired two shots into his own breast. Carpenter cannot live and Smith may not. Carpenter had maltreated his wife, Smith's sister. The State Entomologist of Illinois reports that large numbers of the Hessian fly are now in a dormant condition (the so-called flaxseed state), so low down in the stalk that they are left behind in the stubble when the wheat is cut. This is true of the entire winter wheat region of Illinois. He therefore urgently advises that the stubble be burned at the earliest day possible, or that, where this is impracticable, the infested fields be plowed deeply and rolled. A Chicago telegram says: It is stated that Judge Von H. Higgins, of this city, is about to marry Miss Morse, of Los Angeles, Cal. Judge Higgins is about 60 years old, and worth in the neighborhood of a million dollars. His wife died a year ago, and the Judge has been quite ill since then. In October Miss Morse, who is a niece of his late wife, came here, and has been taking care of him, with the result mentioned. The story goes that she has returned to Los Angeles, and that the Judge will join her there after a visit to the hot springs at Las Vegas. Thomas King, fireman on the freight train of the Milwankee and St. Paul Road, gave a rare exhibition of nerve and coolness Wednesday. The train when near Franksville, Wis., was going thirty miles an hour, a child was discovered standing on the track a short distance ahead, paralyzed with fear. It was impossible to stop the train in time to save the little one. King ran forward, stationed himself on the cow catcher, and bracing himself advanced one foot as far as possible, and as the train reached the child he lifted it from the track with his foot and tripped it unceremoniously but safely in a ditch. The mother of the child had just discovered its peril and stood fixed with horror.
