WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...AUGUST 8, 1855 Kleinigkeiten. The August schedule of the P. C. S. S. Co. is published to-day. The Los Angeles Herald says that the wine-makers of that city propose to pay only $8 per ton for grapes. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. Mr. F. H. Keith reports the sale of the Grier place on Center street to Mr. S. W. Little of Los Angeles. Consideration, $2500. At Laguna, a week ago last Saturday, a little son of M. B. Craig of Orange fell from a rock and broke his leg. Hill Bros. begin next week with their thresher. They anticipate about a month's work in this vicinity. The Ladies' Society of the Presbyterian church will open an ice cream parlor in rooms in the Planters' Hotel on Monday the 24th instant. Interesting stereopticon exhibitions and lectures will be given on Monday and Tuesday evening, as will be seen by advertisement. The San Gabriel correspondent of the Pasadena Union says: "Some of our vineyardists propose shipping their grapes to Anaheim, where $15 per ton is being offered." We are indebted to Rev. F. H. Robinson for an assortment of Oregon papers. Mr. Mr. Leonard Farber, who has had a varied, but on the whole satisfactory, experience in shipping his oranges this season, has received advice from the commission merchant in Kanesa to whom he consigned his fruit that 24 boxes of oranges had been stolen from one carload and 9 boxes from another lot of 200. The consignee refers Mr. Parker to the railroad company for compensation for the stolen fruit, and the railroad company refers him to the consignee for compensation, alleging that it is impossible that the fruit could have been stolen in transit. The probabilities are that the fruit was stolen (if it was stolen) after delivery to the consignee, but however it may have happened it is unlikely that the shipper will ever receive compensation. This episode gives an additional argument for the co-operation of the fruit growers of each locality in placing their fruit in foreign markets. We presume there are honest commission merchants, but they are, if common report is to be relied upon, few and far between. If the fruit-growers of one or more settlements would select one of their number to dispose of their fruit in whatever market he thought best, there is little doubt that there would be less cause for complaint of unremunerative prices, and if loss did ensue, the satisfaction of knowing that it was unavoidable would take the place of the uncomfortable feeling, which prevails under the present system, of believing that you have been swindled by a rascal. Summons is now being served upon the defendants in the condemnation suit which has been brought by the A. U. W. Co. to secure a right of way from the present terminus of the Anaheim ditch to the reservoir. It is expected and believed that there will be no opposition to the right of way, the purpose in bringing the suit being principally to secure a good title, and the Company being willing to pay whatever damages the court decrees. An imperative necessity exists for the extension of the ditch and the beginning of work upon the dam of the reservoir, and the indications are that this work will be soon begun. The reservoir dam can be Ed. Gazette.-I give you a few items pleasure than on for looks of our school here undergone quite a week.

I don't Interesting stereopticon exhibitions and lectures will be given on Monday and Tuesday evening, as will be seen by advertisement. The San Gabriel correspondent of the Pasadena Union says: "Some of our vineyardists propose shipping their grapes to Anaheim, where $15 per ton is being offered." We are indebted to Rev. F. H. Robinson for an assortment of Oregon papers. Mr. Robinson's safe arrival at Pendleton, Oregon, is announced, and he preached his first sermon there on last Sunday. A letter from Washington brings the intelligence that H. K. S. O'Melveny of Los Angeles is being vigorously pushed for the office of Receiver of the Land Office in this district in place of Haverstick, who is an o.p. Barrett's circus and menagerie is without doubt a big affair—so big that the proprietors find it impossible to visit the smaller towns of the county. Hence it will only exhibit at Anaheim, Los Angeles and Wilmington. To Mr. J. W. White, of Fairview district, this office is indebted for a basket of peaches which were immense in size and delicious in flavor. While maintaining that these peaches were unapproachable, we are still willing to be convinced that there are bigger and sweeter ones. Mr. and Mrs. Classen are mourning the death of their child, which occurred on Sunday after a short illness. They have the sympathy of the community. The death of Freddie Metcalf on Tuesday called forth many expressions of sympathy and acts of kindness on the part of the neighbors, by whom his mother is much beloved. The Times says: Horticultural Commissioner Rice reports that over 600 orchards in the county have been or are being cleared of the white scale already. The Southern California Canary is rushed with work, and wants immediately fifty men and women to help put up the fruit. The report of Col. Mendell, the officer in charge of harbor improvements on this coast, shows that during the past year there have been $17,109 expended in the improvement of Wilmington harbor. He estimates that $250,000 will be required for the completion of the work, when it is expected that a depth of ten feet of water will be had at low tide. All postoffices will be closed between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m. by order of the Postmaster-General. Gov. Stoneman has issued a proclamation recommending that all public buildings of the State, as also of the county and municipal buildings, be draped in mourning to-day. He also recommends that all business, both public and private, be suspended. The Black Malvoisie grape ripens much earlier than other wine varieties, and is generally ready for the crusher before the crusher is ready for them. Hence the advent on Tuesday of a grape buyer was quite opportunistic, and solved a problem which was beginning to worry. J. N. Sewall, assisted by F. H. Keith, is securing Black Malvoisie grapes for shipment to some Eastern city not fully decided upon. Mr. Sewall has the grapes picked and packed by his own experienced employees, guarantees that the freight shall not exceed five cents per pound, and charges ten per cent commission on the selling price. The grapes are packed in 5-lb baskets, four baskets to a crate. The first carload has been made up and will be forwarded in a few days. There is little doubt that the Malvoisie will stand shipment, if properly packed. Mr. Keith shipped a quantity last year to various Eastern cities and they arrived at their destination in excellent condition. It is a pleasure to chronicle these attempts to open a foreign market for the products of the county, for it is evident that a reliance upon the Pacific coast market will prove disastrous. That paragraph which we copy from the Riverside Press regarding the uprooting of orange trees in neighboring towns, recalls the time when, discouraged by the low prices of wine and grapes, vines were uprooted all through this vicinity and orange trees planted in their stead. When the whirligig of time brought grapes up and took oranges down the trees were uprooted and vines took their place. But though the probabilities are that it will be some years before there will be a return to the high prices obtained of late years for grapes and wine, sented and those who have a rich treat, for I have pleasant day for a long by appearances, I think of all the rest.

He also recommends that all business, both public and private, be suspended. Governor Stoneman has issued a second proclamation declaring to-day a legal holiday. The Los Angeles Cremation Society is making rapid headway and has a long roll of membership, and it is possible that the funds for a furnace will be ready long before the Legislature enacts the law necessary to legalize the burning of the dead. By the way, an exchange, commenting upon the great number of cremation societies that are being established, is moved to remark that if all the societies are in existence that are reported there must be in the United States at least one hundred cremation societies to every cremation. The Santa Ana Herald learns that rats and mice are now preying upon the cornfields of the Newport district, and threaten to be very destructive unless speedily exterminated. The ground is said to be full of these pests, and they have already caused much damage in some fields. They climb the stalks, and attack and devour the corn in the ear. The corn crop of Newport promised to be a magnificent one, but unless this new enemy is soon destroyed there will be an immense falling off in the yield. Wholesale poisoning must be resorted to by the farmers to save their fields. The pests are multiplying and spreading. LOST—On Thursday a large silver watch with the words "Eureka" on one side and "Silver Nugget Mine" on the other side, engraved in black enameled letters. The finder will be rewarded by returning it to S. L. Chilson, Anaheim. That paragraph which we copy from the Riverside Press regarding the uprooting of orange trees in neighboring towns, recalls the time when, discouraged by the low prices of wine and grapes, vines were uprooted all through this vicinity and orange trees planted in their stead. When the whirligig of time brought grapes up and took oranges down the trees were uprooted and vines took their place. But though the probabilities are that it will be some years before there will be a return to the high prices obtained of late years for grapes and wine, there is no fear that the tolly of uprooting the vines will be repeated—unless it is to make room for more valuable varieties. These fluctuations in supply and demand are unavoidable and must be expected; and if there is any greater fallacy than to assume that any product will bring continuously satisfactory prices, it is to drop into the other extreme when there is a general depression and board the gloomy reflection that there will not be a revival. The wave-like motion of all business enterprises cannot be prevented by human foresight; prosperity will follow depression with the regular irregularity of the ocean-wave. Our old friend, E. Trunnell, of Westminster, stoutly maintains that the biographers of Gen. Grant each and all have fallen into an error in locating his birthplace at Point Pleasant, Ohio. Mr. Trunnell lived for years as a neighbor to Jesse Grant and enjoyed his intimate acquaintance. This was at Georgetown, Brown county, and he is positive that Gen. Grant was born in that town. To the hero who has fought his last battle it matters naught whether his biographers are right or wrong, but as Mr. Trunnell's recollection is corroborated by other friends of the Grant family, historical accuracy would be subserved by an investigation of the facts. Mr. J. Selinger, who purchased 40 acres of vineyard in North Anaheim, and who went to Austria for his family, returned here a few days age with wife and children and has now settled permanently among us.

Ed. Gazette. — I can take up my pen to give you a few items with more pride and pleasure than on former occasions, as the looks of our school house and grounds have undergone quite a change during the past week. During the first part of the week Mr. Paty, one of our trustees, issued a call for volunteers to meet at the school house on Friday morning to clean up the grounds and put the house in order, and at an early hour the lot was pretty well filled with the patrons and friends of the school armed with hoes, axes and pitch-forks, and the vim with which they went to work showed that all that has been wanting all the time was for the proper person to lead out. There were about 40 persons present, among whom were a goodly number of the fair sex who improvised a table extending almost the entire length of the school house, and when we marched in at noon we found it well loaded with viands gotten up in the highest style of the art; and, if you ever saw a lot of hungry men sit down to a table, you can imagine the rapidity with which pork and beans, baked chicken, pot pie and other good things disappeared. How I wished all the old "baches" could have been there to get a square meal, but I believe there was only one "bach" present and, as he is quite a young man, there is some hope for him. We also had a goodly lot of melons, furnished by Mr. Sidney Holman (I believe.) Most of the families of the district were well represented and those who were not there missed a rich treat, for I have not spent a more pleasant day for a long time, judging by appearances, I think I can say the same of all the rest. I don't think any of them would have worked any harder if they had been working for $5 a day. After dinner, while some were finishing up cutting and piling weeds, others cleaned up the house, attached a hose to the pump and gave it a thorough washing both inside and out in which the ladies took an active part. Our preacher, Mr. Pershing, was also with us and could wield a pitch-fork or a hoe with any of us. I don't know how that will Gentle and Consolent. Grant Baffington and John Fletcher of Orange were out hunting user that place on Saturday. While Baffington was loading his double-barreled gun, Fletcher, who was standing beside him, let his gun fall. It struck Baffington's gun which exploded, and the charge entered Baffington's body, killing him instantly. At El Monte Wm. D. Ellis, aged 48 years, complained of feeling unwell on Sunday night. Sometimes during the night he left his bed and his dead body was found by his wife near the hay stack on Monday morning. The cause of his death is supposed to have been heart disease. He was a son of Internal Revenue Collector Killia. Pedro Noriaga, the hatter of Los Angeles, committed suicide by drowning himself at Santa Monica at 5 o'clock on Monday morning. W. W. Wilson died suddenly of heart disease in Los Angeles on Monday morning. In Los Angeles on Sunday night, Dave Sanchez shot and killed his brother, Jose. The murderer was drunk and claims that the killing was accidental, the pistol being discharged when his brother tried to take it from him. There is other evidence tending to show that the shot was intentional. The Sanchez family are a hard lot. Thomas Harryt, aged 14, slipped from the front of a roller-coaster car in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon, and his right leg was caught between the back of the car and the plank guard. He was carried thus some distance before the car was stopped. The friction of the plank cut a four-inch section from the bone and flesh of the leg. Willie Stevens, a 16 year old lad, while out hunting last Saturday, near Los Angeles, had the misfortune to have a premature discharge of his shotgun, which shattered his right wrist in a terrible manner. The charge passed through the wrist, shattering the bones very badly. It is possible that an amputation of the arm may be necessary.

The Chairman of the Finance Committee was instructed to ascertain if the taxes paid on personal property in excess of the regular amount levied must be refunded to those who had paid the Assessor. The Chairman of the Finance Committee was empowered to borrow $200 and place it in the Town Treasury. The proposition of Snow & Bentz to put in an oil burner in the town engine and furnish oil was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act.

I don't think any of them would have worked any harder if they had been working for $5 a day.

I don't know how that sound to city pastors who can step around with kid gloves on and get $300 or $1000 a year. After everything was cleaned up the young folks favored us with some good vocal music which, according to the taste of the writer, is the best music in the world. Besides a thorough cleaning the house has been furnished with a new library case, a new door, new window lights where they were broken and the blinds were put in their proper places and the determination expressed by the trustee present (Mr. Paty) to carry on the good work by putting the grounds in thoroughly order and planting it in trees as soon as the proper season arrives — something that should have been done years ago, but better late than never. Our Sunday school is also increasing in interest and is entirely devoid of that stiff formality usually characteristic of town or city schools; each one feeling that they are a part of it and have a right to do at least a portion of their own thinking.

Question for debate: "Resolve," That there is more pleasure in pursuit than in possession." I hope the next you get from this part will be from some of the young folks of the Society, as I know some of them are well qualified to give you a full report of their proceedings if you would like to have it.

Despite the opinion of the District Attorney to the effect that the Supervisors had no legal right to appropriate county funds to defray the expense of the Grant memorial exercises to be held in Los Angeles to-day, the Board gave $750.

Wherever Malaria Exists, The billions are its certain prey. In intermittent and remittent fever, dumb ague and ague cake, the liver is always seriously affected, and the blood contaminated with bilia. One of the chief reasons why Huntetter's Stomach Bittern is such a sure defense against chills and fever and every form of malarial disease, in that it does away with liability to the disease, by reforming irregularity of the biliary organ in advance of the arrival of the season when the disease is prevalent. There is no finer fortifying preparative for those about visiting or emigrating to a locality where the minna-taint exists. There is no certain immunity from disease in an endemic or epidemic form, to be secured by the use of the average tonnes and anti-spreadness. But where quinine fails the Bittern exceeds both in preventing and curing. Moreover, it removes every vestige of dyspepsia, and overcomes constipation, rheumatism, insufficiency of the kidneys and bladder, and tranquillize and strengthen the nervous system.
