ANAHEIM VOL. XV. WEEKLY GAZETTE Established 1870. For Terms, see Fourth Page. HAYTIAN HORRORS. Intense excitement has been caused here by the receipt from England of copies of Sir Spencer St. John's work on Hayti, writes a correspondent of the New York Mercury from Port-au-Prince. The author was formerly British Consul-General here, and his revelations as to the barbarism and cannibalism in the black republic have been causing upon this work a known gentleman in conversation with your correspondent yesterday, made the following inconceivable statements: "I was present at a dinner, at which, by the way, Sir Spencer St. John was also a guest, and heard story told by the Archbishop of Port-au-Prince which Sir Spencer has incorporated into his book. I will tell it to you. Sirs he: 'In 1867 a French priest, who had charge of the district of Arachisave, had curious to witness the Voodoo ceremonies and persuaded some of his parishioners to take him to the forest where a meeting of the sea was to be held. They were very unwilling saying that it discovered he and they would be killed; but he promised that whatever happened, he would not speak a word. They blackened his hands and face, and disguising him as a peasant, took him with them. The neighboring villagers flocked in to be ceremony. With these the priest mind, and saw all that went on. The people came to ask that their wishes should be fulfilled and the priests stood on a box freshly-bottled skull of the murdered girl among the bushes near Florence house. The mysterious disappearance office second to was inquired into, and she was discovered hidden under the altar. Fourteen women were arrested, including the young woman who had looked through the it turned company with the fresh victim layed there, out that the girl had been her companion. And was in reality in chapel were tried, found "Eight of those are mannibalism, and sensuity of murder at sentenced to be shot took place the following February as black soldiers were told off in The rids upon the condemned, who were five days. Only six were wounded at the first fire, and none were killed, and it was only after half an hour of firing that the last wretch was shot to death. The Voodoo priests use their knowledge of mysterious drugs for the purpose of getting victims. They know more of the secret properties of drugs than any one else. Nothing is more barbarous or more absurd than the uses to which they put their art. They produce death—that is, apparent death, either slow or instantaneous—paralysis, impotence, madness and idiocy at will. Many a one has retired to bed at night in the full possession of his senses, and in the morning found himself paralyzed past all aid of science. A handsome and wealthy lady died in 1867 and was buried. Count Megan, the French Charge d'Affaires, chronicles the subsequent event: That night shrieks were heard in the cemetery, and upon running to the place the grave of the unfortunate lady was found to be opened, and the body of the lady lay bleeding on the ground with a dagger in her bosom. It came out that the lady's husband had a mistress, who, becoming jealous of her, procured from a Voodoo priest [Exchange.] Foot-walks about houses and gardens, especially in rural villages than on farms are often so poor as to cause inconvenience severe colds, serious diseases and at times deaths, through feet and clothing wetting walking through grass—one of the most ingly dangerous things. Board walks should be raised from the ground on four-hundred foundations, be at least three feet wide keep the skirts dry, for women suffer from wet clothing in this way than men should be laid with close joints to prevent grass growing between them, and the grass and weeds should be kept closely cut each side. Where gravel or coal ash should be procured, spread three inches thick and rolled firmly, they make excellent path. The surface should be rounded to give it to the water and proper drains should be made on the sides. The disadvantage these walks is that they will cover with grass and weeds if neglected. If a good coating of cheap salt scattered over them will kill everything but the crab-grass which appears in July, and being hot brine is needed for this bad weed. Cement paths are made of various materials: gravel, coal ash and broken stone best. The usual way of making good foot walks is as follows: The material is gathered in a convenient place, and is heated in a box having a sheet-iron bottom and mounted on a few stones. As the stuff is made hot it is thrown in a heap on a mixing board, melted asphalt or gas tar is poured over it and the whole well shovelled over until thoroughly incorporated, no more tar be used than will merely coat the material so be absorbed by it. The path is properly graded and dug three or four inches; coarse gravel is first laid down and then had charge of the district of Arachave, had curious to witness the Voodoo ceremonies and he persuaded some of his parishioners to take him to the forest where a meeting of the sea was to be held. They were very unwilling saying that it discovered he and they would be killed; but he promised that whatever appened, he would not speak a word. They blackened his hands and face, and disguising him as a peasant, took him with them. The neighboring villagers flocked in to be ceremony. With these the priest mind, and saw all that went on. The people came to ask that their wishes should be graffited, and the priestess stood on a box containing the sacred serpent. At first she wet into a violent paroxysm, then in a sort of half-trance, she promised all that they cold desire. A white cock and then a white got were killed, and those present were marked with their blood. Presently an athlete negro came and knelt before the priest's, and said, "O mamma, I have a favor to ask." "What is it, my son?" Give us the complete sacrifice, the goat without horns." He gave a sage of assent, the crowd in the hed separated, and there was a child sitting with its feet bound. In an instant aope, already passed through a block, was tightened, the child's feet flow up toward the roof, and the priest approached it with a knife. The load shriek given by the victim aroused the Frenchman to the truth of what was really going on. He shouted: "Oh, spare the child!" and would have darted forward, but he was seized by his friends around him and literally carried from the spot. There was short pursuit, but the priest got safely back to town. He tried to arouse the police to hasten to the spot, but they would do nothing. In the morning they accompanied him to the scene of the sacrifice. They found the remains of the feast, and near the shed the boiled skull of the chil." "I have frequently heard similar details given by prominent Haytians. One of the most evocative cases of caunibalism that ever became generally known in the island, is that which occurred during the Presidency of President Geffrard, a really enlightened and ablerer. The village of Bizoton lies a couple miles inland from Port-au-Prince. Then lived Congo Pello, a negro laborer, and its sister. Jeanne, a Voodoo priestess, had been in what you may call hard labor, and he went to his sister to procure relief through the medium of the Voodoo. After consultation between Jeanne and two Voodoo priests, named Julien-Nicolos and Floral Apollon, it was decided to offer up a sacrifice of a female child, and Clair-chinnae, the niece of Jeanne and Congo, was chosen. On the 27th of December, Jeanne entered her sister, the mother of Clairecine, from the house, and in their absence, Conjo kidnapped the girl who was about two years old, and concealed her in the house of Floral Apollon, where she was bound and then under the altar. Search failed to retrieve whereabouts of the child. Four later, in the night time, a festive gathering took place at Jeanne's house. The girl had lain without food or drink for four days, was brought thither in a sack. Jeanne was strenuous girl by the waist Floral Chinnae. At the last meeting of the State Horticultural Society, R. Thomas, exhibited a key of plums which he brought from England, and which had been put up by a new process. The idea, as stated, was that a large firm in Liverpool was ready to buy all the fruit which a large establishment could put up here, and advance half the value of the fruit at the time of shipment. Considerable interest was manifested to see the fruit, and on being opened it appeared to be a fair article of plum jam suitable for pies, etc. The English firm will receive the material for forty-gallon casks, which can be shipped by sea, and they will work it over in small cans for retail sale. Mr. Thomas thought that a firm working by that process could afford to pay two cents per pound for the fruit they needed. Mr. Morse stated that his company could put up fruit in pulp just as good as the sample, without any secret process. Mr. Jacobs of Lusk & Co., said there was no trouble in putting up fruit in pulp, and that some had already been shipped, but the business had not been found profitable. He thought it would be a good thing for both the growers and the local canners if the English market would take the pulped fruit at a profit. Mr. Thomas said he had been shown 160 cases of California pulvedrue in England. Cement paths are made of various materials all gravel, coal ashes and broken stone best. The usual way of making good gravel is as follows: The material is gathered in a convenient place, and is heated in box having a sheet-iron bottom and mount on a few stones. As the stuff is made hot is thrown in a heap on a mixing board, and melted asphalt or gas tar is poured over it and the whole well shovelled over until thoroughly incorporated, no more tar be used than will merely coat the material so be absorbed by it. The path is properly graded and dug three or four inches; coarse gravel is first laid down and the prepared material is spread two inches thick and well rammed down. It is smoothed well as possible, and then dusted over with dry sand or fine ashes, and rolled until hard smooth surface is made. This soon comes like rock, and no weeds or moss will grow upon it. Another way is to make a concrete of water-lime with gravel or ashes, or bone These materials are put in a heap and tied. One barrel of water-lime is mixed with three barrels of sharp, clean sand, dry bed shovelled over back and forth several times to get a thorough mixture. A portion then mixed with water into a thin, soft tar and five parts of the wet gravel or ashes are well mixed with it, so that every frie ment is coated with the combining mortar This is important for obvious reasons. The concrete is spread on the graded walkway beaten down with a rammer until the moisture gathers on the surface. Some of the dry sand or cement is then scattered over the surface to absorb the moisture and the surface is smoothed over with a plank rubbing having a sloping handle to work it back after with. In a few days this is hard as becomes harder with time. By making vision of thin strips of wood or tarred paper the cement may be laid down in blocks square or diamond-shaped, and for extra good walks the blocks may be colored by mixing the finishing coat with brown or green or other colors alternately. A Decayed Town Harper's Ferry is one of the most desolate melancholy, ghost-hunted spots even seen. On all sides are the evidences of craya and ruin. Before the John Brown raft it was a thriving populous town with piles 7,000 inhabitants. The National Army and Sharpe's Rifle Works were fully employed, and they were the great industrial tries of the town. It was quite a railroad centre, too, where the people going East at West over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stopped off for lunch, and the train wait while the engine cooled up. Two good tails were maintained, and the people from surrounding country came in on marches days and bought supplies. Now it is a shell with a few hundred residents, and that without any visible means of support. The principal occupation seemed to lounge around the depot and gaze absently at the people trains. One "hotel" drags out a meadow life there, where occasionally people wait few hours for a train to Charlestown. One magnificent armory is in ruins. Dur up a sacrifice of a female child, and Claircine the niece of Jeanne and Congo, was on the 27th of December, Jeanne entired her sister, the mother of Claircine, away from the house, and in their absence, Conge kidnapped the girl, who was about two years old, and concealed her in the house of Floral, where she was bound and under the altar. Search failed to retrieve whereabouts of the child. Four later, in the night time, a festive gathering took place at Jeanne's house. The girl had lain without food or drink for four days, was brought thither in a sack. Jeanne clashed the struggling girl by the waist. Floral led her, and the others held her limbs who became unconscious when Floral off the girl's head with a huge knife killed him by Jeanne. The blood was cut in a jar, and Floral flayed the vicious. The flesh was cut from the bones and ed in wooden dishes, and the entrails skin were bruised. Then carrying the reus of their victim, the wretches formed a mission, following Jeanne, who, carrying one hand in one hand and ringing a bell, acted as leader. Arrived at the house of Floral preparations were made for a feast. The man made by the carousel of the cannibals cooked a woman and girl sleeping in an adjoined cairnet, and they, looking through chins in the wall, witnessed the horrid ordee. They saw Jeanne cooking the flesh with sugar loaf, while Floral, putting the head into an iron with yama, prepared a soup. Whilst this was going on a young woman, Florida Sharma, urged by her insatiable appetite for human flesh, eat off and burnt flesh from the palms of the billiards. "All partsoff these men prepared, and drank of the soup, and the blood was freely quenched. Thus all those terrible scenes of drunkenness and whimsey was enacted, ending only with light. Then he found finished the residues of last night's farm, and offered some to the two watchmen; the older accepting; but he dreaded appetite of the wretches had not been whetted, and another victim was demolished. In young girl who had witnessed the murder of the previous night was drugged out of the room, handed and gutted and burned under Floral's alter to await shortly before the twelfth night; for these murders merely take place on that occasion, and on Elder Chifatanton, and New York. Fortunately for the new settlers, the inquisition made by Declanion's brother around a polite officer, why, after a month, found the retail sale. Mr. Thomas thought that a firm working by that process could afford to pay two cents per pound for the fruit they needed. Mr. Morse stated that his company could put up fruit in pulp just as good as the sample, without any secret process. Mr. Jacoba, of Lusk & Co., said there was no trouble in putting up fruit in pulp, and that some had already been shipped, but the business had not been found profitable. He thought it would be a good thing for both the growers and the local canners if the English market would take the pulped fruit at a profit. Mr. Thomas said he had been shown 160 cases of California pulped fruit in England and 60 of the cases had spoiled. Mr. Jacoba said they had sent pulped apricots to England, and had letters advising them that the fruit had arrived in good condition, but that the market would not take fruit at a price which would not a loss to the canners here. Mr. Morse said that it would be greatly to the advantage of the fruit interest here if an outlet could be found for pulped fruit like the sample above. Natural Gas as Fuel Pittsburgh, December 26th. For months past Pittsburg has been gradually, and is now almost swiftly, changing from a city of smoke and grime to one of the fairest and cleanest in the land. This has been brought about by the use of natural gas, which is getting into general use among the manufacturers. About $8,000,000 is invested in the production of natural gas by city companies. It is estimated that from 150,000 to 200,000 cubic feet in barrel in the city as fuel. Within fifty miles of Pittsburg a dozen small towns have discarded coal entirely. Every dwelling-house has gas in its cook stove, parlor grate and bed-room fireplace. The rivalry between the leading corporations is intense. The wealthiest capitalists of the city hold stock in them. The volume of the stock has gone up to fabulous sums. As a result, the price of natural gas has gone down to fifteen cents per thousand foot—a little less than the price of coal. It is sufficiently expected that it will go to five cents before long. Health is impossible when the blood is impure, thick and sluggish, or when it is thin and impoverished. Under such conditions, plums headache, nausea, dehydration and one disease after another is it will cause John Ayers' Sarapurillis, and irritating the blood pans rich waste and centre, too, where the people going East are West over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stopped off for lunch, and the train waited while the engine cooled up. Two good bells were maintained, and the people from the surrounding country came in on mark days and bought supplies. Now it is a m shell with a few hundred residents, and that without any visible means of support. The principal occupation seemed to lodge around the depot and gaze absently at the people training. One "hotel" drags out a means life there, where occasionally people wait few hours for a train to Charlestown. Once magnificent armory is in ruins. During war it was blown up to prevent its inging into the hands of the rebels. It was still standing black and ghostly, while the chimney is beginning to crumble at base. The dam across the river is no more and the tide sweeps by gurgling among rocks. The stranger can see the eluices at the wheel house with some of the massive hog wheels still in place, while the shaft lost among the ruins. At the armory stands old John Brown's engine house, where he holes in the brick walls through which the fire was kept up. The doors and windows are battered up with boards like hatchway, and inside a rusted cannon be seen through the cracks upon a broken carriage. This historic building is about twenty four square and twelve feet high. Surface is pitted all over with battle bullets while a wooden cupola on the roof is litter filled with lead. Sharpe's Ruff Wear about a mile off is a complete ruin. Noting marks the spot save a bit of foundation seen here and there covered with climbing plants and the stations through which water ran to feed the wheel. The declai- der of Harper's Perry dates from the John Brown raid. The inhabitants hate the name of the off man; call him a murderer and thief; and seem to think he is responsible for their misery. A curse seems to hang over the whole place, and over Charleston where Brown was hanged as well; a strangers find nothing to make them taunt long. Most of them "do" Harper's Perry from the windows of our cafe on this frightful a few minutes for water. The only turning point—Brown's old fort—not a stone's thrown from the tank nor same vandal has paletted on it in big tatter "John Brown's Fort," so that they can even of all men. The balloon of our shingle all agnes. There's enough air showing us BOLLADY! QUOTION OF FOOT-WALKS. [Exchanys.] Walks about houses and garden, more in rural villages than on farms, so poor as to cause inconvenience, salts, serious disease and at times through feet and clothing wetted by rough grass—one of the most serious things. Board walks should be from the ground on four-inch pads, be at least three feet wide to kicks dry, for women suffer more clothing in this way than men do; laid with close joints to prevent bending between them, and the grass should be kept closely out on Where gravel or coal ash can spread three inches thick and easily, they make excellent paths. He should be rounded to give fall and proper drains should be on sides. The disadvantage of it is that they will become coverless and weeds if neglected. Butting of cheap salt scattered over kill everything but the coarse which appears in July, and boiliness is needed for this bad weed. Paths are made of various materials: coal ash and broken stone are the usual way of making good foot-follows: The material is gatherment place, and is heated in a sheet-iron bottom and mounted stones. As the stuff is made hot it runs on a heap on a mixing board, and shalt or gas tar is poured over it, whole well shovelled over until incorporated, no more tar being will merely coat the material and by it. The path is properly dug three or four inches; dry soil is first laid down and the pre-cution of foot-walks. BLIGHTING BLIZZARDS. The following, from the New York Sun of Dec. 22d, makes one feel cold while reading its: When it got through snowing yesterday the Montana blizzard had gone to pieces. It snowed on standily in the city from midnight Saturday until the 10 o'clock church balls rang. Then, without warning, the snow changed to rain. The drops came down at an angle with a drive, and they stuck fast, and froze wherever they struck. In a quarter of an hour all the house fronts were decked with glistening costs, and umbrella tops were frozen up. This was the pretty part of the transformation. Under foot wasn't pleasant at all. Wherever the snow was cleared away the walks were sheeted with slippery ice, and where the snow was not shovelled off the rain made slush of it. Broadway was like a sliding pond, and everybody who didn't walk in the middle of the street slid into the gutter. A detachment of swarthy Italians with picks and shovels travelled along lower Broadway and piled the snow in mounds on either side as they went along. The rain froze on the pavements as quick as the snow was removed, and then horses began to tumble down along with the men. The mercury slipped up along with everything else, and by 5 o'clock things that were frozen up before began to thaw and overflow. Piles of snow dammed the entrances of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the slush and rain water that rushed down the bridge roadways, having no gutter to run into, washed all over Chatham street. At 5 o'clock there was a lake in front of the bridge, and a cascade of muddy water was tumbling down the basement stairs of French's Hotel at the rate of 100 gallons a minute, and floating things in THE LOST SNUFF-BOX. It is said that Marshal Wade had a great passion for gaming, which often led him in趾places where the company was not so highly respectable as it might be. On one occasion he joined a party of men who were playing with dice. As the game proceeded the Marshal became excited, and was lost to everything but the rattle of the dice-box. In his abstraction he pulled out a valuable gold snuff-box, set with diamonds, and guessed it round the company. On its return he placed it in a different pocket to the one from which he had first taken it, and he was so absorbed in the game as to be quite unconscious of the action, nor was it observed by any one else of the company. After a while he felt in the pocket which usually held his snuff-box, and finding it not there declared that it had not been returned to him, and that some one present had purloined it. Placing his back to the door, he said no man should leave the room until his snuff-box was found. A general search proved futile; then it was proposed that everyone should empty his pockets in presence of the rest. After some laughing it was agreed to. A stranger next to the Marshal; he was dressed as an officer, but so shabbily that suspicion fell upon him at once, and it was proposed to search him first. He resisted, saying: 'I know the Marshal well and am prepared to give him my name. Upon the honor of a soldier I know nothing of the snuff-box; that ought to be enough. No man or number of men shall compel me to be searched. Let the man who doubtsamy honor follow me into the next room, and there I will defend my honor or perish.' The Marshal was preparing to leave the room, when, on feeling for his sword, he discovered the lost snuff-box in a side-pocket. He apologized to the shabbily dressed officer by offering his hand and raising 'Sis in the presence of her dear by an application of citation.' A Decayed Town Ferry is one of the most desolate, ghost-hunted spots ever all sides are the evidences of den. Before the John Brown raid riving, populous town with per inhabitants. The National Arharpe's Rifle Works were fully and extra the blocks may be colored by finishing coat with brown or gray oars alternately. They'd Better Stay Away. [Detroit Free Press.] "I like to know about some office under Cleveland!" he said as he beckoned a lawyer across the street from the door of his saloon. "Well, what is it?" "I like to know if I vhas to haf some office. My place vhas headquarters last fall for some Cleveland clubs, and all der poys tell me I vhas sure of something fat." "Then you are looking for something?" "Vhell, I dunno, Vhen Gleveland vhas elected der poys began to drop in here. One of 'em he says: 'What a bostmaster you will make for Detroit? By Gheorge! I vish I vhas you!' Vhell, dot tickles me, you know, und I dreat der crowd to peer. Pooty soon another crowd comes in, und one of der poys calls ouds: "Let dis convention come to some order. We vhas now in der presence of der next boss of der Custom House. I calls for three cheers for Carl Dunder!" "When he says dot I feels goot all cafer, und it seems right to set oop der peer." Suspicion fell upon him at once, and it was proposed to search him first. He resisted, saying: "I know the Marshal well and am prepared to give him my name. Upon the honor of a soldier I know nothing of the snuff-box; that ought to be enough. No man or number of men shall compel me to be searched. Let the man who doubts honor follow me into the next room, and there I will defend my honor or porish." The Marshal was preparing to leave the room, when, feeling for his sword, he discovered the lost snuff-box in a side-pocket. He apologized to the shabbily dressed officer by offering his hand and saying: "Sir, in the presence of this company I beg your pardon; if you grant it, take breakfast with me tomorrow, and hereafter rank me as your friend." The poor officer, with his thread-bare clothes clean and well brushed, kept the appointment. The Marshal asked him as to his shabby appearance, and why he refused to be searched. "Well," said the officer, "you must know a little of my history. I am an officer in the army, but only on half-pay. For years I have been the sole support of an invalid sister, whom I love more than my own life. For three weeks past I have lived upon bread and water in order that my scanty means might go to her support. Yesterday I was reduced to my last shilling, and I knew not what to do until my pay should again become due. In the morning I called upon a friend, a former brother officer, intending to acquaint him with my present circumstances; but my heart failed me, and I concealed my true position from him. He asked me to have dinner with him and I consented; but I was all the time wishing that my poor sister could have a little of the dainties set before us. Just at that moment an opportunity seemed to favor my wishes. My friend was called away from the table, and in his absence I took up the leg and wing of a fowl from my plate, wrapped them in a piece of paper and stuffed them into my pocket. When he returned he remarked that he was glad I had not waited; at which I smiled. On my way home I passed a gaming-house, and the thought was suggested to me that my last shilling might by a stroke of good luck be made into many shillings. It was my first venture into such a place, and it will be the last. Well, sir, you know the rest. When the idea of searching was suggested, the thought of the piece of fowl being found in my nooket was more terrible than that of fighting the whole room round." At the conclusion of the poor officer's story, glittering drops might have been discovered in the Marshal's eyes, as bright as his own diamonds, and from that time forth, the brother and sister found a life-long friend, through whose kind aid the sister's table and the brother's pockets were ever well and bonntifully supplied.

Articles of incorporation have been filed in the office of the County Clerk by the following companies: Los Angeles Fuel Company, which is formed to develop certain lands and extract from oil neat and other fuel substan- attained in the heart of the city as a basin 570 feet in length and width, and varying in depth.

Wood and Austen show that it is extensively employed in wall papers, textile fabrics, writing and printing paper, candles, toys, confectionary, playing cards, theatre tickets, rubber balloons and balls, sweettables of hats, paper collars, and bad tangils, and in amounts sufficient to cause sickness and even death. Prof. Austen recommends a law prohibiting its use in all materials consumed or employed in the household. Anton Warning left Chateau, M. T., a short time ago to get logs from the mountains and not returning within a few weeks, search for him was made by friends, when his body was found beneath a great tree, which had fallen upon him and held him prisoner until death ensued from starvation and cold. After the accident he had written a note and tied it around the dog's neck, telling the particulars of the misfortune, but the faithful animal would not leave his master, and was sitting on the body when it was found, nearly famished.

Los Angeles Street, Anaheim. (Adjoining the Gazette Office.) The complexity of the interests affected by Customs duties, and the obstacles to framing a tariff which shall be free from objections, are shown by the fact that the negotiations between France and Greece for a new treaty of commerce are momentarily suspended, in consequence of a difficulty relative to the duty on raisins. This fruit is now largely used in France for manufacturing artificial wines, used for blending with the French vintages. As these wines do not bear a duty equal to the real wines imported the French Minister of Finance has proposed, among other methods necessary to make up the deficit of his budget, to increase the duty on dried raisins.
