WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY SEPT. 8, 1883 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. NOTES ABOUT GRAPES. The leading wine-makers of the county will probably hold a meeting next week at which the question of the proper price to pay for grapes will be discussed and decided. Quite a number of grape crushers are at work, principally on Chasselas, and the yield is flattering. As an instance, a small number of vines on Dreyfus & Co.'s vineyard which last year yielded but 600 gallons gave this year 1500 gallons. Mr. A. Langenberger while in San Francisco attended the State Viticultural Society's meeting and saw and heard much that was of great interest. From what information he could obtain he believes that the Grenache grape is a variety especially adapted to sandy soil, and as it makes a most excellent red wine, it should not be ignored in the vineyard of the future. The Malbec and Carbenet, also red wine grapes, do well here. The latter is a favorite in the northern counties, but its tendency to mildew is against it. Mr. L., however, has grown it for several years, and it has shown no mildew even when other varieties were attacked. The hot weather of the past two weeks has not improved the grape crop. Many vines more especially Berger are dropping their leaves, exposing the fruit to the rays of the sun. It is almost certain, however, that foggy nights will succeed the hot spell and the grapes will thereby be invigorated and freshened. There seems to be a disposition on the part of many of the prominent grape growers of the northern counties to deciry the Mission and the Malvoise varieties. Their attack upon the Mission grape at the Conclusion. A Nice, Little Earthquake. EDITOR GAZETTE: The little shake at 8:32 p.m., Saturday 1st, though not of so much importance to the world at large as those of Ischia and Java, was certainly worthy of note among a people who are so far away from all malarial influence as to know nothing of the "shakes" which afflict so large a number of our Eastern friends, and which, occurring "every other day," become to them so disagreeably monotonous. With them, as it generally lasts for hours, they have time for reflection and a full enjoyment of its cooling sensation, and therein have an advantage of us, for in our case—no matter how rudely handled—we hardly have time to exclaim "hello, what's up?" before the invisible big omnibus ratttling over imaginary cobble stones and striking a corner of your house and making a jingle among the tin crockery is, in an instant, out of hearing, leaving one only to the pleasurable thought of the past, with regret that it did not last a little longer or at least have given some slight warning of its approach that we might have had the delight of anticipation, so often so much better than the reality. A Los Angeles paper says there were four distinct shocks, and the movement north to south. Here we felt but two at a few seconds interval—the second very light. The writer was lying in bed on his back, north and south, and awake; was suddenly rocked from side to side each way. Prof. Packard says he was lying east and west and was shaken from his head to feet, showing in each case the movement was from east to west. One of the members of the family, generally requiring a long time to make his toilet, being in the bath at the time and seeing in an adjoining room an evenly balanced scale in motion and hearing the fall of something from a shelf with an ominous rattling of windows and doors, sprang from the water and made the best time in dressing ever before known. On the whole it was a very pleasant little The hot weather of the past two weeks has not improved the grape crop. Many vines more especially Berger are dropping their leaves, exposing the fruit to the rays of the sun. It is almost certain, however, that foggy nights will succeed the hot spell and the grapes will thereby be invigorated and freshened. There seems to be a disposition on the part of many of the prominent grape growers of the northern counties to decry the Mission and the Malvoise varieties. Their attack upon the Mission grape at the Convention held in Los Angeles was very fully met, and the defenders of the Mission had undoubtedly the best of the discussion. The Malvoise, however, has found few defenders because it is a new grape to the majority of viticulturists, and they are not prepared to refute the statements made against it. But the experience of such wine dealers as B. Dreyfus & Co. is all in favor of, the port made from this grape. In gathering statistics in regard to the vineyards planted in this vicinity during the past few years, we found that more Malvoise vines had been planted than any other variety. The attack on it, therefore, has occasioned some alarm among those who have planted it extensively, and caused them to fear that they had made a costly error in preferring that variety above others. They can rest assured, however, that notwithstanding the animal version of the men referred to, they have made no mistake in punning their faith to the Malvoise. The most expert wine-makers of this county are unanimous in the belief that it is the best port-wine grape of which anything is known. The greatest objection urged against it that the wine will not clear sufficiently, that its clearness changes with the temperature, cloudy days making the wine cloudy. This condition is clearly the result of improper or injudicious treatment of the grape. To clear wine thoroughly a certain amount of tannin is necessary. The Malvoise grape possesses sufficient tannin, but does not yield it all when going through the crusher. Hence it is necessary to allow the wine to ferment on the hulls, which process not only extracts all the tannin necessary but gives to the wine that color so essential to first-class port. When the grape is treated in this way, there will be no difficulty in making a clear, good wine, provided always that the maker has the skill and knowledge which every first-class vintner should have. If the vintners of the northern counties have failed with Malvoise, it is rather because the climate and soil of that region is unfavorable to its full development, or because the wine-makers have not mastered the skill necessary to its proper treatment. Nothing has or can be said against the Malvoise as a heavy and prolific bearer, and as a grape less liable to disease than many other foreign varieties. It should be remembered, also, that the talk of its traducers is quite open to suspicion. The men engaged in the importation of new and untried grape cuttings are the loudest new even when other varieties were attacked. The Other Side of the Question. ANAHEIM, Sept. 4th, 1883. Ed. GAZETTE: In your issue of Sept. 1st appears an article under the head of "Pride of Locality." The subject treated under this head is one that should have been studied and practiced many years ago. If you will spare me space in your columns I will make a brief reply to said article, as I consider it one of vital importance to every one living within five miles of Anaheim. I have lived here thirteen years and have known many thousand dollars spent abroad by people living in Anaheim and Vicinity, simply because the merchants of Anaheim hold and always have held for higher prices than any other place in Los Angeles county from Santa Ana up. Not only I know this, but every man and woman in and around Anaheim knows it. Yes, and it is not too much to say it is known and talked of in every town and city in the county. The writer states that every man has a legal right to spend his money where he please but there is a moral obligation on him to help his neighbors if he cannot injure himself. Now this is true; every one will admit, and to this end let us all aim. There is no man who has any love of country in him who will spend his money abroad when he can spend it at home just as good advantage as he can elsewhere. I have taken my team and drove to Los Angeles many times, paid my stable bill, bought my dinner and spent sixty dollars and under for goods and got home from twelve to sixteen dollars better off than I could to have made my purchase right at my door in Anaheim. If I chose to mention names I could mention plenty of just such cases and some even worse. And again, if we have anything to sell we receive less for it in Anaheim than anywhere else. This alone forces us to take our produce, such as poultry, eggs, batter, bacon, hard dried fruit, etc., into other markets. Where these are sold more can be had in trade than money, consequently where the highest prices are obtained for these the producer will do his trading, to say nothing about the 20 or 25 per cent less that he has to pay for his goods. Anaheim has now stores that have greatly reduced the prices on goods, and much of the trade has been arrested that was previously almost enforced by his head to feet, showing in each case the movement was from east to west. One of the members of the family, generally requiring a long time to make his toilet being in the bath at the time and seeing in an adjoint room an evenly balanced scale in motion and hearing the fall of something from a shelf with an ominous rattling of windows and doors, sprang from the water and made the best time in dressing ever before known. On whole it was a very pleasant little break on the quietude of still life. Time of first shock four seconds, the succeeding one very brief. The earthquake of Wednesday, 5th inst., at 4:20 A.M. was not as noticeable as that of last night, but very respectable, and long enough in duration to allow each one to ask his or her bed fellow, "What are you shaking me for?" and the other to reply, "It wasn't me, 'Iwas yourself,' and then both together, "Why! it's an earthquake."

There is no enterprise which is more deserving of encouragement than this. Beginning in a small way with experiments it has now grown into a solid and substantial institution, the continued existence of which will cause the cultivation of many an acre of land which otherwise might have lain barren for years to come. It is now a settled fact that the beet sugar manufacturing can be profitably prosecuted in California. The Alvarado company, after various ups and downs, now pays handsome dividends. Its capital stock has been doubled and the company is preparing to engage in more extensive operations than ever. Sugar beets can be grown not only in many places in this State but also in Oregon, and especially in Washington Territory. If farmers have heretofore been disinclined to undertake their cultivation it is because they were not assured of a market or because the cost of transportation of the raw product would devour all the receipts. But with a refinery in successful operation there is no longer any reason why crushing and reducing works should not be established in the various sugar-beet growing districts. In these mills the beets could be reduced to "muscavada." This is the practice in Germany, where sugar beets are cultivated in all parts of the country, and with similar establishments here the raising of these beets would soon become a profitable industry. The Alvarado Refinery during the third year of its operations produced 1,391,688 pounds of sugar and 81,755 gallons of syrup, of the value of $148,600.—Chronicle. The damage done by frost on the night of the 4th inst., in Hampden, Hamshire and Franklin counties, Mass., is estimated at over $125,000. Whately and Deerfield are the chief sufferers. The loss of tobacco growers in each place is about $25,000. The greatest damage is to the tobacco fields, in some of which the crop is a total loss. An Atlanta, Georgia, telegram says: The Mormon elders are still popping up in various parts of the State. Tuesday night two of the elders held a meeting at Emory Chapel, in the Fourth district, Coweta county. The meeting was attended by a good many young men, some of whom went through curiosity, but there were others who went from other motives. The meeting was opened by singing and prayer. Afterwards one of the elders got up to deliver a discourse on the beauties of Mormonism. When he had made a few remarks there came a voice from the audience, saying "Take him out." The elder paused a moment and said he was there for religious worship, and hoped he would not be disturbed. These words had not more than escaped his lips when they were both pelted with a shower of rotten eggs. They saw at once they had met the wrong crowd, and, grabbing their gripsacks, darted out of the nearest door, pursued by the audience, who chased them as long as they could see them. The young men, seeing their inability to keep up with the Mormons, sent after several hounds and put them on the lost trail and chased them several miles, when all track of them was lost. When last heard from they were making a bee-line westward to have made my purchase right at my door in Anaheim. If I chose to mention names I could mention plenty of just such cases and some even worse. And again, if we have anything to sell we receive less for it in Anaheim than anywhere else. This alone forces us to take our produce, such as poultry, eggs, batter, bacon, hard fruit, etc., into other markets. Where these are sold more can be had in trade than money, consequently where the highest prices are obtained for these the producer will do his trading; to say nothing about the 20 or 25 per cent. less that he has to pay for his goods. Anaheim has now stores that have greatly reduced the prices on goods, and much of the trade has been arrested that was previously almost entirely foreign to Anaheim. Now let every one consider and answer for him or herself who is to blame for this trade drifting from our town. What right or how can our merchants have the cheek to ask anything more than the additional freight from Los Angeles to Anaheim on their goods over and above Los Angeles prices? It is safe to say Anaheim ought to have more than double the trade it does, which it could just as well have if the merchants will use a little energy in the right way. [The strictures of our correspondent would have had greater force in the past than they have now, for it is undeniable that goods can now be procured in Anaheim as cheaply as anywhere in the county. Candor compels an acknowledgment that in the matter of the purchase of produce there is great chance for improvement. — Ed.

He represents in a strong degree the impulsive, democratic and plain spoken element of the American people. That he is a man of brilliant wit, wide information and strong purposes is proven by the success he has achieved. He was born in Albany, N.Y., in 1838. He inherited from his parents English, German and Hebrew blood. In 1854, the family removed to California, and in the rule mining settlements, surrounded by characters, lawless, immoral and profligate, the young man received impressions which were stamped upon his memory so forebly that, in after years, it became an easy task to reproduce them for the public with help. During the first three years in California, he passed through the varying hardships and frequent changes of occupation which seem to attend invariably the earlier steps of genius. NEWS OF THE WEEK. The jury in the case of Frank James, the noted outlaw, has rendered a verdict of acquittal. The Southern drouth stretches in a well defined line along the Atlantic coast, the lowlands of the Gulf, and over part of Texas. From tobacco in Virginia to cotton in Texas, every Southern product has suffered. A sister of Captain Webb, recently drowned in his attempt to swim the Niagara Rapids, became insane when she heard of her brother's death, and has been found in the river at Lady Smith, Natal. At the town of Legos, in Mexico, a few days ago, while the services were being held in the principal church, there was a severe thunderstorm, during which lightning struck the building, killing the priest, four women and a little girl. Poison was put into the beer and food of harvest men employed by Leigh, a landlord of New Rose, Ireland, who incurred the dislike of the populace owing to his opposition to the Land League. Two harvest hands have died and the others are in a precarious condition. Rev. L. Levi, Rabbi of the Jewish Synagogue at Charleston, S.C., was publicly canned in that city by a hardly resident of Sumter county, S.C. Naturally a woman is supposed to be in the affair, but neither of the parties appears willing to make any statements. The Rabbit is suffering from the wounds received, but suffers in silence. J. B. Gardner, a wealthy citizen of Boston, recently deceased, provided by will that a large sum of money, bonds and other securities, aggregating in value $931,600, should be tuffed over to the United States Treasury to be used in helping to pay the national debt. The bequest has been received at the Treasury Department and by direction of the Regulator was today placed to the credit of patriotic donations. Of the 120 newspapers in the United States published by colored men, the oldest is the San Francisco paper. Almost all are weekly, and there are no daily papers. The average circulation of each is less than 1,000 throughout. The Baptist organ in Philadelphia paints 19,000. Advertisements are few. The general opinions among the editors of the papers are against the recent attempts to organize an independent colored party. Paul Vanderwort, chief clerk of the railroad mail service at Omnica for nine years past, has been removed by Postmaster General Greisman. Great indignation is express. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Len Redfield and Joe Tuttle, notorious stage robbers, were taken from the Florence, A. T., jail on Monday and ranged by armbob. John Zuteran killed George Weber in a difficulty at Gardiner, M. T., last week and in fleeing across the river was drowned. Last week two children of Mrs. E. Thayer of Chico were drowned in the Featier river. They fell from a raft on which they were playing. Little Mary Baehr, aged 7 years, attempted to start a fire in her mother's kitchen, at San Jose, with coal oil a few days ago. The child was severely, but not dangerously, burned. Two boys named Weaver (brothers) were drowned while bathing in the river at the foot of Y street, Sacramento. A boy named Johnston, who went to their rescue, was also drowned. San Diego is suffering from amells. The mephitic odors from a vault on Tuesday caused a lady to faint on the steps of the postoffice. Several persons were seized with vomiting and the printers on the Union had to suspend work. The Oroville Mercury publishes the following as a few of the places in Butte county with peculiar names: Shirt tail Bend, Whisky Flat, Puppytown, Wild Yankee Ranch, Spraw Flat, Rawhide Ranch, Loafer's Ravine, Squitch Gulch, Toenail Lake. Patrick Breen, while holding possession of a tract of land near Stockton, on a railroad title, was shot and killed for refusing to vacate on demand of a claimant who made claim on the strength of having settled on the land. No arrests. Dr. Chalfant, in prison for having killed Dr. Bacon in San Francisco some years ago, escaped from San Quentin on Sunday by putting on clothes furnished by a lady visitor and walking past the guard unrecognized. He was arrested on Monday on the overland train at Winnecauca, Nevada. W. A. Gordon, of Santa Paula, Ventura Co., suicided by placing himself on a key of giant powder, touching it off. He was blown to atoms, pieces of his body being scattered all around. His brother from the East arrived a few hours after this occurrence. Temporary insanity is assigned as the cause. The California Electric Liquor Company has incorporated for the purpose of aging and purifying wines and liquors under Valentine's patent; a process of treating liquors He was born in Albany, N.Y., in 1835. He inherited from his parents English, German and Hebrew blood. In 1834, the family removed to California, and in the rule mining settlements, surrounded by characters, lawless, immoral and profligate, the young man received impressions which were stamped upon his memory so forcibly that, in after years, it became an easy task to reproduce them for the public with helpen. During the first three years in California, he passed through the varying hardships and frequent changes of occupation which seem to attend invariably the earlier steps of genius. For a time, he was compositor in a printing office, then he named for himself, with most indifferent results. The life of a school teacher, which followed, gave a new incentive to the literary tastes which had been awakened in the printing office, and a year’s work as express messenger threw him into continual contact with the various characters and life studies which he has given to the world. In 1857, he returned to the compositor case, in the office of the Golden Era, of San Francisco, and it was here that a few Bohemian sketches, rapidly dashed off, copy, attracted the attention of the editor, and he was assigned a place in the literary department. Much of the work which came from his hand at this time, bears all the marks of keen wit and pungency of expression which characterize the articles and sketches which he has retained in the complete edition of his writings. In 1863, his first sketch appeared in the east, which was followed by frequent efforts, until 1868, he became the editor of the Oregon Monthly. His "Hootenya Chiefer" did for him what "Thinnatopsis" did for Bryant; threw him into the front rank of competitors for popular favor. "The Lark of Roaring Creeks," "The Outset of Pigeon East," "Maggies etc." ketches of California life, which he published in the Oregon Monthly establish a reputation for him whom he has admiredly sustained by the brilliance of his wit, his undeniable ability and the versatility of his genius. Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, Sept. 3, 1883. In the matter of money in the hands of the City Justice. The District Attorney is hereby authorized to institute proper proceedings, in manner and form to be determined by him, to compel the payment to the Treasurer of Los Angeles county by the Justice of the Peace of Los Angeles city, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1457 and 1570 of the Penal Code of this State, of all monies collected by him as such justice and payable to the county of Los Angeles under saddle statute. In the matter of the assessment of the State Board of Equalization On motion of Supervisor Groux a committee of two members of the Board, in conjunction with the County Assessor, are hereby appointed to attend to this matter before the State Board in Sacramento, September 7, 1883. C. Prager and E. Groux appointed such committee. In the matter of the Dr. Smith road. Map and report of viewers filed and road declared a public highway; all parties having decided the right of way and Dr. Smith allowed $200 on Downey Road district.

The general opinions among the editors of the papers are against the recent attempts to organize an independent colored party. Paul Vandervort, chief clerk of the railroad mail service at Omaha for nine years past, has been removed by Postmaster General Greensham. Great印igration is expressed, as it was done on account of Mr. Vandervort's absence from duty as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Under the late Postmaster General Howe, he had permission, and under Greensham has only made one trip and that with permission and without pay. He had no notice from the department until his successor walked in. At Edwards, Mississippi, James King and George Goddin (negroes) were arrested and charged with robbing the grave of Mrs. Hattie Howell. They confessed their guilt, informing the officers that they stole the body for the purpose of securing the bones of the arms, which they used in their profession as conjurers. When news of the robbery and arrest became known a crowd of one hundred and fifty assembled and demanded that the Sheriff turn over the prisoners. He refused, and in the confusion Goddin attempted to escape, but was riddled with bullets by the crowd. The Sheriff was then overpowered by the mob and other prisoner was taken from jail and hanged. Professor Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, last night found a new comet in the field with 18 Draconis. Mr. Brooks insisted Dr. Swift to look for the stranger Sunday evening. Sunday evening clouds intervened. Last night, however, at half-past ten, Mr. Swift verified Mr. Brooks discovery. The comet is round, with a faint leaning towards the west, and has no tail. It is right ascension 16 hours 25 minutes. Declination north 64 degrees 50 minutes. It is an interesting object through the great glass of the Warner telescope, but it is quite faint. This discovery outlines Mr. Brooks to the Warner prize of $290 in gold making the second prize he won this year, one special prize of $250, and this the regular reward. In the railway calamity at Sieglitz Germany on Sunday, where a passing tram ran into a crowd of people who were returning to Berlin and passed forward to enter the carriage on the wrong side seventeen men eightteen women and four children were killed. The train, it seemed, dislaced into the midst of a large crowd, killing, cutting and hurting the people right and left. Most of the victims belong to the artisan class. After the catastrophe the railway was found covered for one hundred yards with bodies shockingly mutilated. Of a family of five persons only one escaped. A sailor and a woman were desecptated. The engine was covered with pieces of flesh and bones and was desecpted with blood. The engineer was overcome by the horrible sight. The line was blocked for several hours. The remains were gathered by torchlight by firemen and soldiers. The bodies were taken to the Berlin morgue. Union Cray, Pa., Sept. 5th.-There was great excitement fast evening at the announced intention of some unknown parties to tar and feather Rey H.M.

At San Francisco Thomas Mullen, a cooper, was shot dead by Ejward Lacy, another cooper, in a drunken frolie. Both men had spent the day visiting saloons and were much intoxicated. After taking a drink in the place where the tragedy occurred, Mullen felt a pistol in Lacy's pocket and told him to exhibit it, when Mallen placed the muzzle in his mouth, telling his friend to pull the trigger. Lacy did so, forgetting in his drunken condition, that the pistol was a self-cocker, and Mullen fell dead. The two have been warm and intimate friends for the last eleven years. At San Francisco during an altercation between Edward Davis, engineer at Woodward's Garden, and Joseph Jeffcott, an employee at the same place, the latter shot and killed Davis. Jeffcott stated that his victim attempted to reach for a hammer with which to strike him, and in self-defence he was compelled to shoot.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed stores of Windsmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy sale. Although some of nearly every other manufacturer is deprived so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the undersigned escapd injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly self-regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having an ADDITIONAL STROKE (4 different lengths) in the e-vector and makes sure of its work in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it would. I will furnish these Mills with Pumps and Tanks and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rates. For further information call upon or address: S. H.
