WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JAN. 2, 1835 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. As Bath, Floss county, twenty-three inches of rain fall during the storm last week. The place seems to be appropriately named. Emmett hundred and eighty-four papers have begun a paragraph with this sentence: "Sarah Althas received a nice Christmas present." Another illustration of how great editorial minds run is the same groove. A new seedless grape has just come into notice in France. It is a table grape of the Chamales family and its seedless character makes it especially desirable for this purpose. The raising of the age at which a child can be admitted into the public schools from five to six years, is being agitated in New York, and the introduction of a bill into the Assembly to that effect is talked of. California is in the lead in this respect as in every other. Six years is the school age in this State. SARAH SHARON is disposed to let her success turn her pretty head, and begins already to dispute with her counsel, George Washington Tyler, in regard to the division, of the swag, he claiming one-half and she consenting to only one quarter. Let Sarah beware how she quarrels with G. W. The battle is only halt won, and her counsel is a vengeful man. The losses by fire in the United States during the year just closing will approximate the enormous sum of one hundred and ten millions of dollars, which is unprecedented in the annals of fire underwriting. Of this amount not less than $50,000,000 may be set down to the account of "moral" risk; and probably $15,000,000 more would be near the mark. Well, may an exchange ask "What are we coming to?" The Board of Trustees of the Napa State Asylum for the Insane are demanding that a third asylum be built "south of the bay and not far from the city of San Francisco." They declare that it is an absolute necessity, and that the present asylums are overcrowded. Here we are with much less than 900,000 plants together. The following tables of plants and their proven or probable economic value in this State, will be available for distribution from the University during the present season. Plants will not, as a rule, be ready for sowing out until on or about February 1st, while seeds may, if desired, be sent as pruning progresses. Application should be made at once, and will be filled in the order in which they are received, emitting, however, such plants as are known to be adapted to the climate of the locality concerned. Since, moreover, the object of the distribution is to test the adaptation of the plants in as many localities as possible, numerous applications from one and the same locality cannot be filled unless a surplus remains after those from different sections have been supplied. Plants will be forwarded by express action by mail (unless specially otherwise requested), in lots consisting of the number hereinafter mentioned for each kind, on remittance of 25 cents for each lot of plants, and 10 cents additional for each additional lot, to pay expenses of packing etc.' For actions, send 10 cents for postage on each dozen called for. Postal notes, payable at the Berkeley postoffice, are requested to be sent in lieu of stamps whenever practicable. Any surplus left after filling orders as far as possible will be returned to the sender, deducting letter postage. Esparto grass, stipa tenacissima, the grass so extensively used in the Mediterranean countries for cordage, baskets, etc., and lately exported in large quantities as a material for paper making. It grows naturally on sandy beaches, within reach of salt water, but will doubtless be found adapted to many saline and alkaline lands now unreclaimed or occupied by the common tale. It should be thoroughly tested in sandy lands southward of the Bay, especially on the west side of the San Joaquin valley, and in South California. When once "set," it will send roots deep for moisture. Ten plants to each lot. The Carob tree, Ceratonia Siliqua, the true "Algaroba" or St. John's bread of the Mediterranean region, has been heretofore recommended for cultivation in the southern part of the State, on dry and otherwise unavailable hillsides, as well as in richer and moister lands, for the production of an excellent milk-producing feed (See report Coll. of Agr. for 1882, p. 60). Hardy from the bay southward, perhaps also as far north as St. Helena and Marysville. Five plants to each, it being necessary to make sure of having both staminate and pistillate trees together. Anxiety Now at Your Service Carrie President—Dear Sir, I am on behalf of the National Office Reform League, too long reminding practical reform in the Civil Service mandated is abundantly established that the statute referred to in our convention passed in Congress will suit both political parties, and further fact that the sentiment is prevalent among patriotic people on a fair and honest enforcement of which has been thus enacted. I am self pledged to this because my own experience promised the people should be done. I am not unwindly fact to which you refer, that many citizens fear that the recent party of the national executive may demonstrate abuses which have grown up in this Service are incaradable. I know they are deeply rooted in the spoils system has been supposed intimately related to success in the management of party organizations, and I assure that those who profess to be fry that reform will stand firmly among vocates when they find it obstructive way to patronage and place. But appreciating the trust committed to charge, no such consideration shall relaxation on my part of the earnest enforce this law. There is a class of mentions positions which are not within their places those who are in political position forfeited all just claims to retention; they used their places for party purpure disregard of their duty to the people because instead of being decent servants they have proved their partisans and unscrupulous manipulations local party management. The lessons past should be unlearned if such office well as their successors should not be that efficiency, fitness and devotion to duty are conditions of their continuance. Well may an exchange ask "What are we coming to?" The Board of Trustees of the Napa State Asylum for the Insane are demanding that a third asylum be built "south of the bay and not far from the city of San Francisco." They declare that it is an absolute necessity, and that the present asylums are overcrowded. Here we are with less than 900,000 people of all classes and ages, and with two very large insaneasylums filled to overflowing, and enough over to nearly fill a third. Is it not about time to inquire where a brake can be applied to the causes of insanity? It looks as if Vanderbilt was going to insist on his pound of flesh. He loaned Gen. Grant $150,000, just before the failure of the banking house of Grant & Ward, and now he has recovered judgment for the amount and levied upon all of Grant's property, including his swords, medals and other memorites of the war. A charitable view of the matter is that Vanderbilt is merely seeking possession of the property in order to save it from Grant's other creditors. The friends of Grant are devising means for his relief. Logan's chickens are coming home to roost. The next Illinois legislature is to choose his successor in the U.S. Senate, and as the Republicans have only a majority of one on joint ballot, it is necessary that for the candidate of the party to receive every vote. But one of the Republican legislators is a man named Hogan, who some years ago was defeated for a federal position through Logan's influence. He now refuses to vote for Logan, saying that the time has come for which he has been patiently awaiting. Revenge is sweet, and that's a fact. The use of oil to calm a raging sea is coming into general use, its efficacy in soothing the waters having been thoroughly tested. One instance is given in the experience of the steamship Thingwalla, from Copenhagen New York. During a hurricane, and after the seas had smashed a lifeboat and nicked the third officer and three men bout, bruising them severely, the engines were stopped. Oil bags were hung over the side to prevent the waves from breaking about the ship, and the marine drag was let go so as to keep the wind about two points abaft the beam. In this way the ship lay for nineteen hours without shipping any more water. The special contract system, which the broad corporations have been so berated at, has been abrogated. As one of the laws of the recent conference in the East Broad men, Commissioner Geo. W. Lane of the Transcontinental Pool Association has issued the following notice to prominent merchants of San Francisco: You will please take notice that your Carob tree, Ceratonia Siliqua, the true "Algaroba" or St. John's bread of the Mediterranean region, has been heretofore recommended for cultivation in the southern part of the State, on dry and otherwise unavailable hillsides, as well as in richer and moister lands, for the production of an excellent milk-producing feed (See report Coll. Agr. for 1882, p. 66). Hardy from the bay southward, perhaps also as far north as St. Helena and Marysville. Five plants to each, it being necessary to make sure of having both staminate and pistillate trees together. European or English oak, Quercus robur. Last season several thousands of acorns of this useful timber tree were distributed throughout the State. About 2,000 seedlings of the same are now ready for distribution. Unlike the American oaks, when transplanted to the climate of California this tree proves to be a rapid grower, unexpectedly resistant of drought, and promises well as the hardwood timber tree of the future on the Pacific Coast. It is not choice as to soil and location, and would probably do well both on the mountains and in the plains, where the latter are not too dry. Its success should be extensively tested. Six plants to each. The New Zealand Flax, so useful to gardeners and vineyardists for the purpose of tying with the ribbons into which the leaves are readily split, and which are exceedingly strong, is again offered for distribution. Six plants to each. The Ramie, so-called Chinese grass, of which the preparation for textile purposes by machinery now seems to be in the way of accomplishment, should be more extensively tested. In succeeds exceedingly well at Berkeley in heavy adobe, and is known to do well on sandy soils. Six plants to each. Angola panic — (Panicum Spectabile, Sorghum Halepanse) or as it has unfortunately been called in California, "evergreen millet"). Roots in one pound packages. New Zealand Salt Bush, Atriplex mummularia, a forage plant adapted to salty and alkali soils (see Rep. for 1882, p. 117), belonging to the Lamb's quarter group of plants; is much liked by cows. Ten plants to each lot. Of the Cicilian sumac, Rhus Corirria, the expected large supply has not been realized, on account of the failure of the imported seed to germinate. It is now being multiplied by cuttings and suckers from large plants. A small number will be distributed, one plant and one good root to each lot. Cuttings of the Huasco grape, from Chile, producing the splendid raisins exported from that country. This grape has almost ripened its fruit this season at Berkeley, and the latter closely resembles the Muscat in most respects. Three cuttings to each lot. In respect to sciens, it should be understood that apart from cherries, to which the soil of the University grounds is hostile, all the more proninent varieties of apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc., are represented in the University orchard, to serve as standards for verification of varieties. It is not deemed proper, as a rule, to offer for distribution varieties that can be distilled onto each lot.

As one of the recent conferences in the East Broad men, Commissioner Geo. W. Jones of the Transcontinental Pool Association has issued the following notice to prominent merchants of San Francisco: You will please take notice that your contract with this association expires December 31st inst., after which date all rates ow in force will be withdrawn. Rates to apply on and after Jan. 1, 1885, will be announced on or before that date. This means the entire discontinuance after list of January of that special contract between merchants and overland roads which, in the past, has been the mode of much manifest dissatisfaction among certain merchants. It means that after the rementioned there will be only one specifical tariff open to all merchants and usual shipping goods from any of the points in the East. A wonderful tongue of Beccher leads me, say things for which he is no doubt easily ashamed afterwards. In the late critical campaign he said in effect that his claim was as chaste as he himself was or as the majority of the people of the State more than that if all those who had looked the seventh commandment voted for Cleveland he would get a majority of 200,000 in New York. This speech seems to have rupture in his congregation, the annual pew renting being at hand, and seems to be a purpose to hurt Beccher not renting his pews. In a speech made this congregation the other night, he warned his statement above referring by saying it was an impetuous such, and a special plea for his candidate said that he spoke plainly, "that the town people would understand and that we wish them to the cause of truth and disclosure." Either the report of the which is fearfully garbled, or the common opinion of the procher and his congregation is unintentional. If his offense was due to him, his defense is indecent. In respect to seions, it should be understood that apart from cherries, to which the soil of the University grounds is hostile, all the more prominent varieties of apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc., are represented in the University orchard, to serve as standards for verification of varieties. It is not deemed proper, as a rule, to offer for distribution varieties that can be readily obtained from nurseries, and thus to compete with private enterprises. Hence those mentioned here are only such of the less common sorts as in our experience at this locality seem to deserve a wider trial. Pears. These were here, as elsewhere in the State, this season strongly affected by blight. The following remained almost exempt from this disease: Duchasse Precoqs*, Doyenne Robin, Jalousie de Fonteney, Parais d'Automne, Mario Louise d'Ucclea, Sheldon*, Duchesse d'Orleans, Swan's Orange, Beurre Bose*, Conseiller de la Cour*, Louis Vilmorin, Pitmanast Duchess*, Doyenne D'Alencon*. Of these, those starred* are especially recommended as worthy of trial. The following were more or less affected: Brandywine, Baurre Sterckman, Gratiola of Jersey*, Do Tongres*, Fulton, Baronne de Mellow*, Jones' Soodling, Gray Doyenne, St. Germain*. Many other good varieties, such as Andre Desportes, St. Michael, Archangel, Napoleon III, Rutter, Figue d'Aleucon, etc., were so badly affected, that it seigne undesirable to distribute seions from them until the prevention of the blight disease shall have been better studied. Plums. Of these, the following are recommended for trial: Black Morocco, Ontario, Wangenheim Prune, Prince of Wales. Apricots. Blanchem, Allarge De Montagamis, Purple Katsha, Cunino Grosso, De Coulorge, Benge are among the less known varieties worthy of trial in this State, and of which seisions can be sent. Of the seeds previously announced for distribution the following are exhausted: the two kinds of Brunes, Malina multiflorum and Pyrethrum Onurianefolium. Address applications to E.W.Hellmann, University of California,Berkeley,Cal. A book of records would then be placed in file in the office of the County Clerk of each county, giving the title of each farmer to the water, just as real estate and property records are now preserved. These records are referred to in court instead of examining human witnesses, and the settlement of water dispute would be the easiest matter that the courts would be called on to decide. "While the Supreme Court has strained the statutes to make a point for the riparian proprietors, and the claims of others have been overlooked, we on the other hand, are presenting for adoption a law which is entirely in keeping with the broadest construction of our statutory provision. The sense of the Constitution is in full accord with this system. It is only the most clumsy interpretation of our present law which places our irrigating streams beyond public control and community interest. However these rights as they are now held have in them anything of validity; there is no reason why, for the public good, the owner may not be compelled to divest himself of his claim, on being tendered full indemnification for his loss. Then there will be no proprietary interest beyond that held by the State." The miner's inch is a very uncertain quantity, and we did not wish to start from that basis. We have therefore thought it best to adopt what we call a unity measurement based on the standard of a cubic foot of water. The specific gravity and velocity of a stream having been determined, all measurements are made at the rate of a cubic foot per second of time, and according to his requirements which shall have been previously ascertained, the landowner receives his exact proportion of water." In Montreal snow is not allowed to remain deeper than six inches on the sidewalks and the surface must be kept even. The clearing of roofs and walks must be finished before 9 A.M. Twenty dollars and costs in the penalty for tenants and owners who ignore the civic by-law in this respect, and all responsible citizens are liable to arrest without warning for its contravention.

At the San Francisco Canadian merchants and manufacturers The Irrigation Problem. Executive committee of the Irrigation Commission have drawn up a bill which they produce in the Legislature and enbring influence enough to bear to through. The gist of the bill is giving following extracts from an interim Chronicle reporter had with J. Aborb: Propose to have all water claims predicated on the present titles of pro-pops settled and the whole irrigation of the State condemned, after first ing the riparian proprietors. The old then be marked off in hydrographics, without reference to geography, each district to be subdistricted deemed necessary to carry out our hydrographic commission, consistent men elected by the people, and exercise police authority of the districts, and they would apportioning of the water, which be public property, each owner being entitled to a given number of per day, according to his acreage, records would then be placed on office of the County Clerk of each county the title of each farmer to the real estate and property re-owned. These records, in any legal controversy, would be in court instead of examining witnesses, and the settlement of a debt would be the easiest matter to be called on to decide. While the Supreme Court has statutes to make a point for the priests, and the claims of others overlooked, we, on the other portland, Or, Dec. 29th.—Wm. Pearson, a well-to-do and respectable farmer, with his wife and child, was visiting Mrs. Pearson's father, Judge Dillabaugh, near Chehalis. All retired at the usual hour last night in good spirits. This morning Mr. and Mrs. Pearson were found on the bed, with their throats cut and their infant child dead, evidently killed by some blunt instrument. The parents, though not dead, were half frozen. Pearson was revived during the day and this evening stated that after he retired and had gone to sleep he received a command from some high unseen power to kill the child. This he did with a hammer. He then awakened his wife and showed her what he had done, and said if she would cut her throat he would do the same. He went to the kitchen, got a carving knife and handed it to his wife, who cut her throat. He immediately did the same. It is believed he will recover, but his wife will probably die. Friends of theirs explain that both are strong believers in Spiritualism. Judge Dillabaugh, father of Mrs. Pearson, is one of the foremost citizens of Lewis county, and the family are well known through the country. The terrible affair has created terrible excitement in the neighborhood. He Paid His Own Way. [From the Commercial Advertiser.] The recent transfer by Gen. Butler of some of his Washington property to secure a loan by him of $90,000 has led to some political gossip regarding his late canvass for the Presidency. There were all sorts of rumors and statements affaint about election time in Democratic newspapers, alleging that the expenses of Gen. Butler's canvass were paid by the Republican committee Gen. Butler took no notice of these stories at the time, considering them beneath attention on his part. Since the election he has had little to say regarding the result, and has manifested a disinlination to parade publicly what he considers his own personal affairs. Notwithstanding this, however, it is well understood here that Gen. Butler stood the brunt of the campaign out of his own personal funds. While there is no direct authority for saying so, your correspondent has reason for believing that the recent transfer or mortgage of some of his property here was necessitated by the expenses incurred in the late campaign, and that but for that campaign he would not not have been compelled to raise money on his property, but would be a hundred thousand dollars better off. A Belated Snake Story. CHARLESTON FOUR CORNERS, N.Y. Dec.—John Brand, a farmer living at this place, a few days ago discovered a spotted adder, a snake rather rare in this region, sunning itself in his yard. He captured it and put it in a glass jar. A day or so later he saw another one in the yard, and it ran in a hole under an old stump. Chester Brand, a 15-year-old son, pried up a flat stone, lying at the side of the stump. Under it were nine of the adders. Some of them ran in under the stump, and the rest were killed. The hen threw them into a blunt instrument. The parents, though not dead, were half frozen. Pearson was revived during the day and this evening stated that after he retired and had gone to sleep he received a command from some high unseen power to kill the child. This he did with a hammer. He then awakened his wife and showed her what he had done, and said if she would cut her threat he would do the same.

Three members of the Baptist Church in San Jose indulged in a "knock-out" Saturday evening, fists, an umbrella and a pistol being brought into use. At Albany, Or., last Tuesday night; a farmer's son, returning from a hunt, froze to death 200 yards from his house, having sunk exhausted in the deep snow. Charlie Hall, of Molestie, put out poison to kill coyotes; there being $5 bounty on each scalp. He succeeded in killing one coyote and hogs valued at over $200. Serious crevasses have occurred in the levee adjacent to Washington, Yolo county, and a large body of water is running through the ranches. Last Friday R.A. deFriese' of Petaluma narrowly escaped being torn to pieces by a pack of coyotes; who took his trail and chased him for some distance. Father Maloney saved his church at Reno from destruction by tearing from the image of the Blessed Virgin the lace, which had caught fire from an upset candle. A little daughter of Charles R. Parson fell from a second-story window to the ground, in Sacramento; Saturday, but the fall was to some extent broken by a tree, and she only received bruises. The "Bull" conservatory at Sacramento, just completed by Mrs. E.B.Crocker, covers 14,000 square feet of ground, enclosed with 25,000 square feet of saffl. It is the second largest private structure of the kind in the United States. A man named A.W.Rosenthal, who joined the Salvation Army in Sacramento, arrived in Stockton a few days ago and gave his experience at salvation meetings. Yesterday he was arrested for petty larceny, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to work in the chain-gang for thirty days. At Stockton on December 26, Mrs.Catharine E.F Campbell, aged 64,a native of Temple Moor, Ireland; was sitting beside her husband in their dwelling on the bank of Mormon Channel; when the old lady suddenly fell mortally wounded by a bullet from a rifle. John Wilson was shooting at mud-hens with a Remington rifle directly opposite the Campbell house.

CHARLESTON FOUR CORNERS, N.Y. Dec. — John Brand, a farmer living at this place, a few days ago discovered a spotted adder, a snake rather rare in this region, sunning itself in his yard. He captured it and put it in a glass jar. A day or so later he saw another one in the yard, and it ran in a hole under an old stump. Chester Brand, a 15-year-old son, pried up a flat stone, lying at the side of the stump. Under it were nine of the adders. Some of them ran in under the stump, and the rest were killed. The boy then turned the stump over. There were no snakes to be seen. He found a hole in the ground on one side of the cavity left by the overturned stump. He dug in the hole, and it led him to the cellar-wall of the house. In the wall he found twenty adders. He killed them all. None of the snakes were seen in the neighborhood during the summer, and where the big family came from at this time of year is a mystery. He Practiced Baby Farming. DENVER, Col., Dec. 29th.—This morning a second child died suddenly at the Williams Private Foundling Asylum on Vanquez street in South Denver. As in the case of the little weif which died Christmas day, no physician was called or medicines administered, as Williams implicitly relied on the efficacy of prayer to restore the little one. The Coroner will hold an inquest to morrow, pending which the children will be removed to a public institution. Williams is about forty years of age and says he managed similar homes in Brooklyn and Chicago. In the former in 1879 and in the latter two years later. Tuolumne Democrat: Some poor, miserable, God-toraken thief entered the Baptist Church at this place Saturday night and stole the dimms which the little children had deposited in a jug to procure little presents for a Christmas tree. James Slattery, a retired middle-weight pugilist, works in the North Star mine at Grans Valley. Last Tuesday seven hard-hitters from Boston Eavins wreak up to give James a thrashing. Now they have had him arrested for whipping the online party. Purity, Aroma, Fragrance, Strength. What possesses these desirable qualities? Eola Tea. Why?
