WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... APRIL 23, 1865 Kleinigkeiten. The Pasadena postoffice has been raised to the grade of a Presidential office. A pocket book, containing money, was found at the postoffice. It will be delivered to the owner upon application. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. The deliriously beautiful crazy quilt raffled last Saturday, was won by Fred Rimpa. W. W. Weaver announces himself as a candidate for Town Marshal at the election on Monday. The Holiness Band have erected a tent on Los Angeles street, and will to-day begin a campaign against sin. Prof. Hinton gives a farewell party on May Day, it being his last dance for the season. James G. Phillips, dealer in dry goods, ete., of Santa Ana, has assigned to M. Deventre, of S. W. Rosenstock & Co., San Francisco. We are requested to state that all the indictments contracted by Rev. Mr. Sheridan before his departure has been paid in full. A fire at Pomona on Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock, destroyed nine buildings in the business part of town. Loss, about $15,000; insurance, $7,000. A fire started on what is known as the Ducken ranch north of town on Tuesday afternoon and burned over a large area, destroying a great quantity of feed and 800 feet of fence on the ranch. The stable building adjoining the Plantation. Downs Disappears. In Judge Hanney's Court in Los Angeles on Tuesday R. M. Mackey was examined on a charge of burglary, in breaking into Tucker's saloon in Santa Ana on the night of March 17th. Tom Downs testified that about I o'clock in the morning he and Mackey went to the saloon to get a drink, and found it closed; that they found they could open the door. and Downs went in and brought out a lot of cigars, a clock and a galvanic battery, all of which they took away. On this evidence Mackey was committed for trial, with bail fixed at $2000. He was immediately examined on a charge of being one of the men who "stood up" Hetebrink, and Downs again testified that he and Mackey did the job. Mr. Hetebrink testified, however, that Downs' companion was fully a head smaller than Mackey, and the Court dismissed this charge. After easing his conscience in the manner described, Downs was returned to jail and slept the sleep of the just all Tuesday night and until about six o'clock on Wednesday morning. His companion in the cell was an attache of the jail, who, at the hour stated, arose and began his day's duties. He merely pushed the cell door too, neglecting to fasten it, a fact which Downs discovered and profited by. He stepped from his cell into the yard, jumped over the board fence and disappeared. A small boy caught a dissolving view of Downs as he jumped the fence and notified the officers. The Sheriff offers a reward of $20 for his capture. With Downs disappears all the evidence which the officers have against Mackey, Hendee and Forker. It is not difficult to fortell the weight which the evidence of such a self-confessed scoundrel would have with a jury. DOWNS RECAPTURED. The fugitive criminal was very cleverly captured by Deputy Sheriff Smythe yesterday morning. Acting upon the theory that Downs would revisit the scene of his crimes, after the manner of vulgar criminals, Smythe lay in wait in the hills near the oil wells on Wednesday night, but his man did not appear. At 12 o'clock on Thursday night he again left town, with two companions, and concealing their horses they waited patiently for their game. He appeared, footsore and weary, just about daylight, and was received with extravagant demonstrations of affection. The deputy and his prisoner reached town about 6 o'clock, and registered. It was a very narrow escape. If the nu-cury had dropped two degrees lower than grape-growers' occupation would have gone—for this season. But at the critical hour of Monday morning the thermometer ranged from 123 to 40 degrees, and J.Frost did his work under the disadvantage of a too tropical temperature. He skipped about, leaving evidence of his baleful presence wherever he found opportunity. Leaving some vineyards entirely unscathed, touched its neighbor lightly, and perhaps found in the next one conditions more favorable for his work. The blackened tips of the vines are plentiful in some vineyard scattered in others and not visible at all—the major part of the vine-growing district. And when we come to inquire as to the extent of the damage, we find a great diversity of opinion, but the prevailing one is that crop of grapes will not be appreciably diminished by reason of the arctic visitation. Somehow, consider themselves very large out of pocket. Last Sunday was a cold, blustering disgraceable day. That, at least, is what it is termed by Californians accustomed to more agreeable weather. The wind coldly until about midnight, and from time until daylight was a period of anxiety. That so little damage resulted is a matter for congratulation, and the prevailing feeling is one of thankfulness that so little harm was done. The orange trees were not hurt, neither were other kinds of trees damaged. Poisonous were killed, and the tender tomato received a severe nipping. The cold wisteria west of town than nearer the foothills. On the ostrich farm ice formed nearly a quarter of an inch thick. At Westminster the vines were blackened and corn is reported to have suffered no spots. On Wednesday morning the thermometer nearly touched freezing point again, getting down to 33° in some localities. On Friday night of last week a very rare frost was experienced in the northern counties. The vines were badly nipped Napa county, though much damage was prevented by the use of smoking piles throughout the vine-growing district. Sonoma, Monterroso, San Joaquin, San Clara and Colusa counties, much damage was done, mostly to vineyards. The report from Colusa says that the whole A fire at Pomona on Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock, destroyed nine buildings in the business part of town. Loss, about $15,000; insurance, $7,000. A fire started on what is known as the Dicken ranch north of town on Tuesday afternoon and burned over a large area, destroying a great quantity of teed and 800 feet of fence on the ranch. The stable building adjoining the Planters Hotel is being moved back to a line with the other buildings on the street, an improvement which will be appreciated by those whose view it has hitherto obstructed. Prof. D. W. Hanna has been presented by his pupils of Ellia Villa College with some elegantly bound books as a token of their esteem. He has retired from the management of the college. B. F. White, of Riverside, died on Thursday evening of last week, the result of the injuries he sustained by being thrown from a buggy at Upper Santa Ana, as recorded in these columns last week. John Young, aged 59, who was out of employment and dependent, jumped into the sea from the pier at San Pedro, Friday, but was behind out before he had suffered any serious consequences. He had been drinking hard. To Mr. McDermont this office is indebted for some Mr. Merrittonan Sweet oranges grown on his place that were very superior. They were especially notifiable from the fact that they were entirely free from black scales or snails, and had not been cleaned. Conrad Sonnen, who died on last Friday, was a relative of Mr. F. Kehlmann, and came here from Holdenen a few months ago, seeking relief from consumption. He came too late, however. His funeral on Sunday was largely attended. The School Trustees, sitting as a Board of Equitation, made no changes in the assessment roll as prepared by the Assessor. The property in the district is valued at $501,000, an increase of $000,000 over last year. The rate of taxation was fixed at 25 cents on the $100. The announcement that the bonds of the Riverside Water Company to the extent of $200,000 could be sold appears from the Press, to have been premature, as capitalists object to purchasing bonds issued by a private corporation. This is but a repetition of the experience of the Anaheim Union Water Company. The Board of Supervisors of Nevada county has decreed a chain and ball and hard labor as the regime for tramps arrested within their jurisdiction hereafter. In Anaheim they are placed in jail for twenty-four hours The fugitive criminal was very cleverly captured by Deputy Sheriff Smythe yesterday morning. Acting upon the theory that Downs would revisit the scene of his crims, after the manner of vulgar criminals, Smythe lay in wait in the hills near the oil wells on Wednesday night, but his man did not appear. At 12 o'clock on Thursday night he again left town, with two companions, and concealing their horses they waited patiently for their game. He appeared, footore and weary, just about daylight, and was received with extravagant demonstrations of affection. The deputy and his prisoner reached town about 6 o'clock, and registered at the Plantera hotel. Shortly afterwards Downs was left alone for a moment in the barroom. He darted behind the bar, picked up a pistol and ran into the yard. The gates being closed he ran into the hotel again, and upstairs. His movements were seen and Smythe went after him, pistol in hand. After some search he was located in Room 12. He had locked the door and paid no attention to repeated demands to open it. Smythe thereupon threatened to shoot, whenceupon he came out and submitted to be collared and taken to the town jail. He said that he was only "playing a joke" and didn't want to get away, but the humor of the thing was not apparent to the officer who had been at such trouble to capture him. He was taken to Los Angeles yesterday. The Fairview Schoolhouse Eirron Gazette:—With your permission I will air my ignorance once more in your columns. It seems that the little squib I sent you about the first of the month has drawn out a little friendly criticism from a friend down South. I stand corrected in regard to one of the parties named. Not being at the schoolhouse as I stated, I had simply been wrongly informed. I believe that was the only item in which I was charged with stating anything that was not true. If I don't miss the truth but once, I think I did quite well; but my South Side critic thinks I was rather too hard on our trustees, and yet if anything, than I was. He says our present trustees have seen as efficient in many things as any of their predecessors, which would imply that they had not been as efficient in everything. Now I don't know but what they might do fully as much in every respect as their predecessors and yet not hurt themselves, but I would be the last one to say anything to the hurt of either of the trustees for I regard them all as my personal friends; and I think if South Side intended his criticism as an apology for them, when they read his article they must have felt like they would rather he had not have said anything. I agree with my friend down South that what all ought to do, no single man can be found to do, but I had an idea that the trustees were; the proper ones to take the lead and superintend affairs and I hoped by agitating the question a little, something would be done to show that the Fairview people are in favor of public improvements, and I am glad that South Side took up his pen to criticise what first wrote. I ask him to do the same again if he sees anything that he thinks deserves it and I think he made a good point in closing! when On Wednesday morning the thermometer nearly touched freezing point again, getting down to 33° in some localities. On Friday night of last week a very rare frost was experienced in the northern counties. The vines were bally nipped in Napa county, though much damage was prevented by the use of smoking piles of wood throughout the vine-growing district. Sonoma, Mendocino, San Joaquin, San Clara and Colusa counties, much damage was done, mostly to vineyards. The report from Colusa says that the crop is badly damaged damaged and more than one-fourth, or at most one-half crop will be raised. The situation "up north" can be gleaned from the following telegrams: SACRAMENTO, April 19.—There was a light frost here this morning, and it was quite unstable on the bottom lands south of city. Fortunately it was not heavy enough to do any particular damage. ST. HELENA, April 19.—The vineyard may generally expected another severe frost this morning, but they were agreeably disappointed as no frost came. The frost of yesterday morning was more severe than at this reported, as many vineyards between heath and Calcasoga are badly smitten. Along the Napa Creek vineyards generally are injured, but in the mountains and foothills the injury is trivial. Fruit trees generally have sustained no set-back. The prospective injury is less than 5 per cent. SHAGA, April 19.—A cold rain accompanied by heavy winds, has been in progress here since yesterday, and snow is falling in the Spring Creek Mountains three miles from town. So far the fruit crop is not in jeered but it will be if the weather does not change soon. IONE, April 19.—Signs of light frosts were visible yesterday and this morning, but this caused no material injury to anything. The frost was more severe in the eastern part of county, but the fruit men think that it did damage has been done. CALIFORNIA, April 19.—The frost yesterday morning and this morning injured the year's growth of vines in several vineyards on the lowlands, but it was too light to damage the fruit or the foliage on fruit trees Shoers, alternating with sunshine, or curred this afternoon, and more frost is likely to follow. TERRAHAPE, April 19.—It commenced snowing at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It still snowing hard, and the barometer attained P.M indicates that the storm will continue. PORTLAND, April 19.—The cool weather which has provailed in the Willamette valley for the past week has done but little damage to fruit. In Eastern Oregon and Washington Territory small fruit and vegetables are being cut short by the frost, but the crop will be fair. SACRAMENTO, April 20.—This section was visited by another frost this morning, although it was not so severe as that of last week. Fruit is safe, but vines will suffer. ST. HELENA, April 29.—Another severe frost prevailed here this morning. At day light, almost entire valley from Calistoga to Napa, was enveloped in smoke, caused by efforts of vineyardists to lessen the blighting effect of frosts. In the lowland areas have been very damaging many vineyards among them that of Dr. Beer are very badly stricken. Many wine manufacturers however, do not regard frost to light of a calamity, believing that these wines on hand will now command remunerative prices. PETALUMA, April 20.—Heavy wind，rain，and hail was the weather programme here yesterday afternoon，followed last night by a light frost. No damage is apparent here considerable damage is reported from Sonoma to grapes，especially about Glen Ellen。So serious it is，in fact，that it is estimated The announcement that the bonds of the Riverside Water Company to the extent of $200,000 could be sold appears from the Press, to have been premature, as capitalists object to purchasing bonds issued by a private corporation. This is but a repetition of the experience of the Anaheim Union Water Company. The Board of Supervisors of Nevada county has decreed a chain and ball and hard labor as the regime for tramps arrested within their jurisdiction hereafter. In Anaheim they are placed in jail for twenty-four hours and given a glass of water and a biscuit—the latter as digestible as a ball and chain and fully as nourishing. The nominating convention on Tuesday evening, to name candidates for town officers, made the following nominations: For Trustees—H. Kroeger, F. A. Korn, J. P. Zeyn, R. J. Northam, C. Hilmer. For Assessor—F. C. Smythe. For Clerk—E. F. Newbold. For Marshal—R. Bohn. For Treasurer—P. James. For Justice of the Peace—A. V. Fox. The election will be held on Monday. Board of Supervisors. WEDNESDAY, April 22. The report of the District Attorney upon the eight-hour law was read and filed and ordered entered upon report books. The District Attorney expresses the opinion that under sections 3244 and 3245, of the Political Code of this State, eight hours constitutes a day's work. On motion of Supervisor Hinds, the Clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for supplies for county purposes for one year, or at the pleasure of the Board, as per specifications on file in the Clerk's office, all bids to be accompanied by a certified check of $250. The Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids. On motion of Supervisor Foord County Superintendent Hinken was authorized to change and harmonize if necessary, and describe school district boundaries also to procure two maps to be made, showing the boundaries of school districts in this county, at an expense not to exceed $40. In re insect pests: On motion of Supervisor Foord, inasmuch as the District Attorney requires more time to draft an ordinance, further action in the matter is postponed until Monday, May 4th. The Board then adjourned until Monday, May 4th. We suppose there are few of our citizens who have not, at some time or other, received letters from strangers asking for information about this county, but it is quite probable that few have taken the trouble to reply. One of these few who replies to such letters is Mr. Fred Hartung and the good effect of his courtesy was made pleasurably apparent a few days ago. Some months ago he received a letter from Austria, the writer of which desired to know all about Anaheim. Mr. Hartung replied, with the result that Mr. E. Selinger, the writer of the letter of inquiry, came to Anaheim last week and on last Monday purchased 20 acres of land from Mr. T J. F. Boege and the adjoining 20 acres of Mr. C. Hille, paying therefor $9000. The land is planted in vines just coming into bearing, and as the locality is most desirable, and the soil of unsurpassed richness, it gives a very effective illustration of the bargains which are offered in this vicinity. Mr. Selinger will go to Austria in a few days, and return immediately with his family and a number of his neighbors who will doubtless follow his example and settle here. They will receive a characteristically hearty welcome. The magnificent boquet which has adorned the postoffice for two days past was gathered from the garden of Mr. Marshall Height and arranged by that gentleman with a taste which a florist might envy. The combination of rushes, balletrops, orange blossoms and other flowers form a pretty planting area to those who are encouraged to mingle the final wealth characteristic of Anaheim. Frost prevailed here this morning. At daylight, almost the entire valley from Calistoga to Napa, was enveloped in smoke, caused by the efforts of vineyardists to lessen the brightening effect of frosts. In the lowlands the results have been very damaging, many vineyards among them that of Dr. Beers are very badly strenken. Many wine manufacturers, however, do not regard frost as the light of a calamity, believing that their wines on hand will now command remunerative prices. PETALUMA, April 20.-Heavy wind, rain and hail was the weather programme here yesterday afternoon, followed last night by a light frost. No damage is apparent here; considerable damage is reported from Sonoma to grapes, especially about Glen Ellen. So serious it is, in fact, that it is estimated it will cut off the crop one-third. STOCKTON, April 20.-Frosts last night did no damage in this county. The weather is warm this evening, and no further danger of frost is apprehended. LIVERMOORE, April 22.-The damage by frost to the vineyards of this valley had been very slight. Scarcely fifty acres over twenty-five hundred have been touched and there is no injury whatever to the coming crops. A few young vines on low land have been slightly nipped. The fruit crop like wise uninjured, though somewhat light. Friday night Napa Valley was visited by the first severed frost of the season, and as was in a measure unexpected, many of our vineyardists were caught napping. Early Saturday morning the valley was clouded with smoke, showing that some had been on the alert and availed themselves of the only known agency to counteract "Jack Frost's" influence. Flat land along Napa river suffered the worst from this visitation and many vineyards scattered throughout the valley were badly bitten. Saturday night another frost came and while smoking was more general, caught many more vineyards. This morning the heaviest frost of all left it mark on the budding vines, being more severe than the previous ones, owing to the slight rain that fell just before nightfall Sunday, and left the ground damp. There is no disguising the fact that from these three frosts the coming vintage of Napa Valley will be materially decreased. The damage is wide spread and serious, few vineyards escaping a touch of more or less severity. Various estimates place the probable damage to date on an average oak from twenty-five to fifty per cent of the crop of 1835. THE EASTERN PLAN The 10 cent and 25 cent tables arrangement at Domenau's Four thousand dollars to burn on fine sandpaper. Apply as Wax or White paint at 11:40 The Fruit's Breaker A very narrow escape. If the merchant dropped two degrees lower the worm occupation would have been this season. But at the critical Monday morning the thermometer from 23 to 40 degrees, and John his work under the disadvantage tropical temperature. He skipped having evidence of his baleful preserver he found opportunity. Leavin vineyards entirely unscathed, he gets neighbor lightly, and perhaps the next one conditions more favorable work. The blackened tips of are plentiful in some vineyards, in others and not visible at all in part of the vine-growing district. We come to inquire as to the extreme damage, we find a great diversity, but the prevailing one is that the vines will not be appreciably diminished season of the arctic visitation. Some, consider themselves very largely market. Monday was a cold, blustering and bleak day. That, at least, is what led by Californians accustomed to seeable weather. The wind blew till about midnight, and from that daylight was a period of anxiety. Little damage resulted is a matter ofulation, and the prevailing feeling of thankfulness that so little harm range trees were not hurt, neither for kinds of trees damaged. Potash killed, and the tender tomatoes a severe nipping. The cold was best of town than nearer the foot- the ostrich farm ice formed nearly of an inch thick. Minister the vines were blackened, is reported to have suffered in Wednesday morning the thermometer reached freezing point again, getting 37° in some localities. Day night of last week a very seawas experienced in the northern. The vines were badly nipped in early, though much damage was by the use of smoking piles of tar at the vine-growing district. In Mendocino, San Joaquin, Santa Colusa counties, much damage mostly to vineyards. The Tom Colusa says that the wheat FRUIT NOTES. Old things, as well as old friends, are sometimes best. It is not every innovation that possess merit. The system dismeddled is often better than the so called improvement which forces itself into its place. These home-made maxims are conjured up by the failure of the barrel process of cleaning oranges, elaborately described in the Gazette two weeks ago. It is not a failure in doing what is required of it—the oranges are cleaned much better and a great deal cheaper by being rolled around in a barrel of sawdust when washed and wiped. But it has been found disastrous to the keeping qualities of the fruit, and several shippers of oranges to the East have found by costly experience that the fruit must be washed of its impurities or forwarded with all its native imperfections. It is said that this latter plan is to be tried, and the fruit to be brightened at the end of its journey. Labor is cheaper at the East than here, and it would seem as if the fruit could be cleansed better and cheaper there. The barrel process is still used by shippers to San Francisco and near markets, as the fruit keeps well enough to permit of this. Mr. L. W. Kirby, who has a flourishing orchard of Konah and St. Michael oranges, shipped his crop to San Francisco this season, and kept a careful and correct account of his expenditures. They may be tabulated in this way: Box and nails...20c. Making boxes, picking, cleaning, wrapping, packing and hauling...25c. Paper...7c. Freight...40c. Total...92c. The above is the expense per box on oranges shipped to San Francisco in less than carload lots. By taking the ruling prices, one can easily figure out how profitable orange growing is. The "ruling prices" may be quoted at from $1 50 to $4 50 per box. There is only one thing more certain than that it pays to grow good oranges. And that is, that it is unprofitable to grow poor ones. Santa Clara is one of the finest general fruit growing counties in the State, but even there the lot of the grower is sometimes not a particularly happy one. At the present time it is his apricot trees that are troubling him. A knotty excrecence forms upon the roots of the tree, resembling somewhat the black-knot on grapevines, and the trees soon die. Many apricot trees have died of the HURTNESS AND PRESSURE. A millman who was nearly lynched for rolling watery milk says the whip of the transgrenator is hard.

Tuesday morning the thermometer reached freezing point again, getting 3°C in some localities. Day night of last week a very severe experience in the northern The vines were badly nipped in early, though much damage was by the use of smoking piles of tar at the vine growing district. In Mendocino, San Joaquin, Santa Colusa counties, much damage mostly to vineyards. The farm Colusa says that the wheat really damaged damaged and not one-fourth, or at most one-half a hectare raised. Theation "up north" can be gleaned following telegrams: ENTO, April 19.—There was a light this morning, and it was quite noon on the bottom lands south of the ultimately it was not heavy enough particular damage. ENA, April 19.—The vineyard men expected another severe frost this past they were agreeably disappointing but they were agreeably disappointing.

No damage is apparent here. The damage is reported from Sonoma, especially about Glen Ellen, as it, in fact, that it is estimated orange growing is. The "ruling prices" may be quoted at from $150 to $450 per box. There is only one thing more certain than that it pays to grow good oranges. And that is, that it is unprofitable to grow poor ones. Santa Clara is one of the finest general fruit growing counties in the State, but even there the lot of the grower is sometimes not a particularly happy one. At the present time it is his apricot trees that are troubling him. A knotty exrescence forms upon the roots of the tree, resembling somewhat the black-knot on grapevines, and the trees soon die. Many apricot trees have died of the same disease in Freno county. The knot on vines is attributed to the frost killing the bud and allowing the sap to escape before another bad forms, but of course this explanation does not cover the case of the apricot. The same exrescence has made its appearance on the peach trees of that county. No such trouble as that has as yet appeared on the trees in this county that we are aware of. Mr. Ernest Browning, of whom we inquired for information, states that he has never lost but one apricot tree. Last year one of his largest apricot trees, which leant towards the north so as to expose the trunk fully to the rays of the sun, died, first on the exposed side and a few days later it was "kilt entirely." The so-called gum disease results from the heat of the sun on the trunks, and this teaches that pruning ought to be done with a view to the branches affording all the shade possible. From Mr. Browning we also learn that the Early Moorpark apricots are as full of fruit as they can stick, but that the Early Golden has no fruit worth mentioning. There is one peculiarity about the latter variety that is worth knowing. In the northern portion of the county, especially around Duarte, it is accounted the best variety of apricot, and is far superior to any other. Here, on the contrary, the fruit is stringy, tasteless and undesirable, while the Moorpark is a fruit immeasurably superior to any that is received at the Los Angeles cannery. Such is the testimony of the Superintendent. Haggin & Carr have imported a large number of uglyes to work on their farm in Keru county. If it is undesirable to have these negroes stampede down this way, this item should be carefully concealed from them. Otherwise their proverbial weakness for "watermillyou" might overcome their sense of obligation to the firm they are working for. Mr. Theo. Staley of North Anaheim, cut a watermelon a couple of weeks ago, which he had left in his field since last year, and it was as fresh and palatable as could be wished. It is needless to add that it was ripe. The grape crop here is likely to be very fair. Such are the present indications. We have already copied from the St. Helena (Napa Co.) Star a paragraph to the effect that the Zinfandel crop is as likely to be a failure there. The same paper publishes the following confirmation of its first statement: We find on inquiry from several well known vintners, that there is decidedly more truth than poetry in the rumor of the failure of the Zinfandel vine to bear a crop this year. We learn that on old vines of this variety, the crop all over the valley will be an entire failure.
