WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JUNE 27, 1835 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The annexation of the Sandwich Islands by the United States would not be a bad thing for either the parties of the first or second part. It is a rich, pleasant country, with possibilities for profit which would be taken advantage of if it was annexed by this government. It is said that a proposition for the annexation of the Islands will soon be made by a commissioner of King Kalakana. A PAINTING of "Eve" in the Royal Academy represents the tree bearing the apple blossom and the ripe fruit together, and antiquarians are puzzled whether this unusual condition was possible to the soil of the Garden of Eden. Don't know how it was in Eden, but in the soil of Anaheim the thing is quite possible. The dim suspicion that this is the only and original Garden of Eden receives corroboration from the above. An interesting dispute has arisen out of the incendiary fires at San Jose. By the confession of the perpetrator, he was incited to the commission of the crimes by the inflammatory harangues of O'Donnell, the Coroner of San Francisco. One insurance company has presented its claim of $943 to O'Donnell and demanded payment. This has been refused, and the next step will be to bring suit against him and have the courts decide whether he can be made to pay for the losses he was instrumental in bringing about. STRANGE things happen sometimes. Mrs. Sullivan of Boston was reading in a New York paper an account of the fall of some buildings in that city, and she turned to her husband, who was going to New York that day, and jocularly cautioned him to stop at some house that would not fall down. Mr. Sullivan went to Mrs. Doyle's boarding house when he reached the city, and on the morning after his arrival, while eating breakfast, two walls of the house fell with a great crash, and Mr. Sullivan escaped through the broken wall just in time to see the whole structure collapse. The disaster was caused by motion of Supervisor Hinds it is ordered and declared that the ordinance passed by this Board June 24, to-wit, "An ordinance for the destruction of insects injurious to fruit and fruit trees," was duly published, and that the same has been since June 18, in full force and effect. Petition of E. K. Edwards and 260 others from the southern portion of the county, asking to have W. L. Witherbee appointed Commissioner of Horticulture. Read and filed. Certificate of election returns of Cahnenga school district, voting for $200 additional school facilities and maintaining school in said district, filed. The boundaries of Alameda and Downey school districts were changed so as to include in Downey district the property of A. J. Logan. Charles A. Gardner was appointed Justice of the Peace for San Gabriel township, vice T. P. Lukens, resigned. The Board then proceeded to the election of Horticultural Commissioners as follows: Samuel McKinley, Geo. Rice and J. R. Dobbins. Resolutions were adopted for the refunding of county bonds to the amount of $476,500. The outstanding indebtedness bears 7 per cent interest, and the several issues of bonds were for the following purposes: Bridges, $74,500; Southern Pacific Railroad subsidy, $377,000; County Hospital, $255,000. The county has the right to call in these bonds at its pleasure. The new issue will consist of 476 bonds of $1,000 each, and one bond for $500, all dated July 1st, 1885, and payable July 1st, 1905, or at any previous time that the Board of Supervisors may desire. The rate of interest is fixed at 4% per cent. As soon as the proper notices are published and the bonds are printed, the Treasurer will place them on the market. It is understood that one capitalist stands ready to take $200,000 worth of the bonds, and other purchasers will doubtless be forthcoming. As soon as the funds for redemption are in the treasury, the old bonds will be taken up. Attempted Cremation WHEELING (W. Va.), June 22. About 10 o'clock yesterday morning great excitement was caused in the village of West Wheeling, on the Ohio side of the river, by the attempt of a Polish potter named Keffler to cremate the body of his daughter in one of the kilns of his works. The man said he was too poor to give his child a burial. Early in the morning he fired the kiln and strapped the body to a board so that it might be pushed into the furnace. His intentions leaked out and soon a crowd of 150 or 200 indignant people gathered. The City Marshal of Belleaire was sent for and the body was removed from the custody of the parents and given burial by Senator Wagner and others.

The disaster was caused by excavations which had been made for the foundations for an adjoining building. The fact that a brown bear was found dead near the ostrich farm, and the incident duly reported in the Gazette, has been doubted by very many of our esteemed contemporaries for whose information we cite the following equally curious facts: "Several black bears have been seen in North Carolina recently. There was a shower of turtles as large as silver dollars in Raleigh a few days ago. A bolt of lightning struck a pond near Asheville and killed a number of fish the week before last. One hundred and sixty-seven snakes were killed in an old fort near Beaufort in one day, and a ghost has been seen near Rockingham. In Georgia a man living near Athens dropped a spod of thread into a hole from which a locust had just emerged, and the entire spool unwound without reaching the bottom of the hole." A breach of promise suit of rather an unusual character, in which the plaintiff is a man instead of the usual woman, has been commenced in San Francisco by Richard Grant. His suit is against Laura B. Kraushaar, and he prays damages in the sum of $700. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant promised to marry him in September last, when she procured a divorce from her husband; that she has since procured the divorce, but now refuses to keep her promise. Of the damages asked $300 is for the injured feelings of plaintiff, and $400 for money alleged to have been advanced by plaintiff during his courtship. The bull butter dealers of New York State are on top, the recent adverse enactment of the Legislature having been declared unconstitutional by the Court of Appeals. The enactment referred to provided that "no person shall manufacture out of any oleaginous substance or substances, or any compound of the same, other than that produced from unadulterated milk or cream from the same, any article designed to take the place of butter or cheese produced from pure unadulterated milk or cream of the same, or shall sell or offer for sale the same as an article of food." This was altogether too restrictive. As one of the judges said a citizen has a right to make any pure and wholesome article of food and sell it for what it actually is, and it is immaterial what lawful use shall be made of it afterward. If a man is too poor to buy good butter, there is no objection to his using oil, cheese or honey, or any other substitute for butter.

The City Marshal of Beliaire was sent for and the body was removed from the custody of the parents and given burial by Senator Wagner and others. Last night it was reported that Keffler had attempted to kill his wife with an ax, saying that he had been commanded by the Almighty to take her life. Chawed by a Tiger VIRGINIA (Nev.), June 22. —Alonzo Kearns, a boy 8 years old, had his arm and hand badly injured at the circus grounds this morning. He was climbing upon a wagon containing a cage in which was a black tiger and caught hold of the gratings covering a window, about one foot square, to pull himself up, when the tiger reached out with his jaw and caught the boy by the coat, near the shoulder of the right arm, tearing off the sleeve, fearfully lacerating the flesh of the arm above the wrist and taking out a piece from the thick part of the inside of the hand, below the base of the thumb. The unfortunate boy was carried to his home and the wounded limb was dressed. More Destructive than Grasshoppers PARSONS, Kan., June 17. —A scourge equal to the grasshoppers is making its appearance in this neighborhood. Large fields of corn, standing on an average eight inches high, took fresh and green in the morning, before night became withered and dead. Examination disclosed in each hill a myriad of worms, ranging from an inch and a quarter down to one-eighth of an inch in length. Apparently they become completely distributed over a field, then begin simultaneously to work, and within a very short time the whole is devastated. Nearly every piece of corn is more or less infested. The eggs from which the worms are hatched are supposed to be deposited by a small yellowish white miller. The worm is by the farmer termed the wet worm. The California Grasshoppers WASHINGTON, June 21. —California is suffering considerably from the ravages of grasshoppers, and specimens of the insects have been sent from several parts of the State to Professor Riley. He finds them to be the melanoplus devastator and caloptenus differentiales. The last named is common to all parts of the land, and seldom proves very destructive, while the other is peculiar to the Pacific slope, and is probably doing the present work of destruction. He recommends use of coal oil pans, found so useful against the Eastern species, and further refers California farmers to the remedies described in the reports of the Entomological Commission, as the best yet discovered.

Faili boy seized a shotgun heavily At Wilkesbarre, Pa., a member of the Salvation Army named David Williams created an uproar by running out of his house into the street with a butcher knife in one hand and a revolver in the other. People fled before him terror stricken. An old woman named Davis, who was unable to get out of his way, was severely stabbed, and a little girl playing on her parents' stoop was knocked over and trampled on. The man tried to kill his little grand-daughter by tying her to a bedpost and then hacking her with his knife. She was rescued by her mother before the murderer could carry out his threats. Williams has heretofore been a hard-working and industrious miner. He says the Lord came to him last night and told him that to be a successful worker in God's cause he must make a human sacrifice. With that object in view he started out to kill some one. It took eight policemen to capture the lunatic who defied the two hundred people surrounding him to touch him. Suit for Los Angeles Lands San Francisco, June 22.—The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has begun actions in the United States Circuit Court against Thomas Davis and twenty others, defendants, to have them transfer their titles of lands held by them in Los Angeles, Kern, San Bernardino and San Diego counties under United States letters patent. The lands in question were granted to defendants for settlement and some of them have made extensive improvements.

The defendants have until July 6th to enter appearance. The lands have an aggregate value of $35,000. A Terrible Disaster New York, June 22.—The Sun's London special says: The disaster in the Pendlebury colliery, near Manchester, proves to have been more terrible than at first reported. The number known to have been killed is 168 and many more still unaccounted for. The colliers' families are already pinched to the verge of despair, but greater misery is feared for many. The number of wage earners now killed represents fully 500 widows and orphans. Not one in fifty has a shilling saved.

He had just gone to work at the place, and the job which proved fatal was the first one he undertook. George W. Dent, Head Appraiser of the San Francisco Custom House and General Grant's brother-in-law, and Chas. M. Leary, Assistant Appraiser, have received information from Washington stating that they would be relieved from office and that Wm. Beck and D. Z. Yoast had been appointed to fill their places. Mrs. Cohen of Weston, Or., has been acting strangely of late, but nothing serious was apprehended until Tuesday morning. After breakfast, when her husband had gone to work, she took her six months' babe into the pantry and cut its throat from ear to ear with a razor, killing it instantly. Then she went to a neighbor's house and told of the deed. There is no doubt but she is crazy. As Miss Thomas and Miss Raap of Martinez, Contra Costa county, with a lady friend, were driving on Shirey and Mizner's wharf. Tuesday morning, their horse became frightened at some object and commenced to back rapidly. When the hind wheels were over the edge two of the ladies jumped out.

Two gentlemen who happened by at the time, jumped at the horse's head, causing the animal to rear and fall backwards from the wharf into the soft mud.

Impending "Cattle War" in Texas Sr. Louis, June 21.—Advices from northern Texas are to the effect that serious trouble is looked for in the Pan handle over the arriving of southern Texas cattle through Kansas. Thousands of cattle are going up the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad, to be unloaded at Harrold and then driven through. It is claimed that these cattle are diseased, and if allowed to go through will spread the Texas fever along the line. The Kansas men are determined to resist, with all the means in their power, any effort to drive southern Texas cattle through the neutral strip, or "no man's land," as it is called. It is said that the promise of Secretary Lamar has been obtained to interpose the strong arm of the Government to prevent it, and that a United States Marshal, with a strong pose, armed with Government authority, will by Monday meet the first herd bound for Kansas, and they will turn the cattle back or prevent their entrance into the neutral strip. Southern Texas men are very angry over the matter, pronounce the scare without reason, and say their cattle are healthy, and they will fight before their rights shall be subverted. They are determined to drive into Kansas, and claim that Secretary Lamar has guaranteed them protection to go through, and has notified the Kansas men accordingly. Cool-headed cattle men say there will be trouble, and think the Government should call a halt on the trail until the question can be investigated and the true facts ascertained. A Parricide. San Andreas, June 22.—Yesterday afternoon Joseph Shelton, a miner residing near Mammoth cave in this county, about ten miles from here, was shot and instantly killed by his son, Henry Shelton, aged about 14 years.

SAN ANDREAS, June 22. — Yesterday afternoon Joseph Shelton, a miner residing near Mammoth cave in this county, about ten miles from here, was shot and instantly killed by his son, Henry Shelton, aged about 14 years. The tragedy was occasioned by the father beating his wife, the boy's mother. The mother had been away during the afternoon, and when she returned her husband commenced to curse and abuse her, finally culminating in his throwing her back on the bed and choking her with both hands. The boy Henry and his two younger sisters struggled with the father and endeavored to stop his murderous attack on the mother. Failing in this, the boy seized a shotgun heavily loaded and told his sisters to stand away. He then ran around directly in front of his father and fired, blowing his father's brains out. The lad then went to a neighbor's and gave the alarm. To-day an inquest was held and the facts found about as above. The boy is now in jail, having voluntarily delivered himself up. He is a slight frail child, far from haging the growth of boys of his age. He claims that he fired to save his mother, believing that she was being choked to death. The family is very poor and the neighbor's report that the father was brutal to his family and had frequently beaten his wife. HOSTAGES KILLED AND EATEN. LONDON, June 17. — A sensation has been caused by the arrival at Liverpool of private mail advices from West Africa which report a horrible outrage by natives. A small war has been in progress for some time between certain tribes on the Brass River in Guinea, and nine prisoners who had been captured during one of the fights were held as hostages to secure the payment of a certain number of pounds of ivory by their friends. The ransom not being forthcoming at the stipulated time, the hostages were killed, coached and eaten, their skulls being sent to their tribe as a warning of what the next prisoner might expect. The chief of the cannibalistic tribe has a great reputation for courage and ferocity, but was believed to have been converted by English Baptist missionaries who have been laboring in the valley of the Niger.
