WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY APRIL 24, 1866 SUBSCRIPTION. per year, $2. NOTWITHSTANDING the depression in trade and the general shrinkage of values in the country, Great Britain's expenditure for intoxicating liquors last year was not less than $606,433,800. This is equal to the nation's entire outlay for bread, butter and cheese. The longevity of women who are fortunate enough to marry soldiers is shown in the fact that our pension rolls bear the names of about 20,000 widows of the veterans of 1812. The brides of 74 years ago, nearly centenarians now, and the number of them quite surpasses belief. The people of Chico are excited over the fact that Charles Crocker has purchased 18,000 acres of land near that town and will plant the land to orange trees. It will be the largest grove in the world. All great men make mistakes once in a while, and if rumor is correct Mr. Crocker is about to commit one. A fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500 will be imposed upon any employer in Massachusetts who shall discharge or threaten with discharge any employee for being a member of any labor organization or union, if a bill that the Joint Committee on Labor has agreed to report to the Legislature becomes a law. That was a peculiar tragedy which occurred at Madrid, Spain, on Sunday morning. As the Bishop of Madrid was entering the Cathedral he was shot by an ex-priest, and killed. The assassin had recently been deposed from the priesthood and took his revenge in murdering the man whom he supposed was the cause of his disgrace. Railroad News [L. A. Express, April 21.] The local agents of the California Southern received telegraphic orders this morning that the former freight rates have been restored on all west-bound freight. This has been done to protect themselves. There are at present eleven hundred freight cars on their line between Kansas City and the Colorado river. They have had more freight than they can move. The former rates were classified from $1:20 to $4 per hundred. The cut rates were thirty cents per hundred unclassified. The C. S. R. R. will send out an orange train this evening. The Southern Pacific have been booming out the orange trains lately. Saturday night thirty-one cars were sent out; Sunday evening, eleven cars were dispatched, and Tuesday evening fourteen cars were forwarded. The destinations of the latter are as follows: Ottumwa, Topeka, St. Paul, Ogden, Kansas City, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Council Bluffs, each one car; Salt Lake, two cars, and Chicago, four cars. Chicago, April 20.—There were several moves of more or less significance in transcontinental matters to day. A circular was issued by the Union Pacific and Burlington and Missouri River railroads, advancing fares from the Missouri River to San Francisco to the following figures: First class, unlimited, $60; first class, limited, $30, with a rebate of $16.50; second class, limited, $20, with a rebate of $11; round trip, good for ninety days, $30. A rather unexpected development in freight affairs came in a notification by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road to the Burlington, Alton, Rock Island and other roads that it was out of the market for California business except at full tariff rates. This is said by the Atchison officials not to be a step toward restoration, but the outcome of the fact that the road is overrun with more business than it can handle. The Atchison gave notice also of a change in passenger rates from the Mississippi River to California points equivalent to an advance of $5 on each class. The new rates take effect to-morrow, and will be as follows: First class, limited, $30, with rebate of $10; second and third classes, $20, with rebate of $5.

As the Bishop of Madrid was entering the Cathedral he was shot by an ex-priest, and killed. The assassin had recently been deposed from the priesthood and took his revenge in murdering the man whom he supposed was the cause of his disgrace. The Democratic candidates for the Gubernatorial nominations are even now actively at work. Gov. Stoneman, ex-Mayor Bryant of San Francisco, Hon. Barney Murphy, Hon. Pat Reddy and Controller Dunn are avowed candidates, with Stoneman in the lead. It is strange that so many men are willing to rush open-eyed to their political doom. Gustav Bohn, a bee keeper of Santa Ana Canyon, near San Bernardino, attributes the loss of his 160 stands of bees by fire to incendiaries, and charges that the torch was applied by fruit growers in the neighborhood between whom and the bee keepers there is a deadly feud. What a pity it is that these pastoral pursuits, so suggestive of peace and simplicity, should stir up man's angry passions to the incendiary point! Proof. Hilgard publishes an appeal to viniculturists to become members of the recently re-organized Vinicultural Society. The time and money required to attend the meetings of the Society at San Francisco are a bar to any expectation of large membership from this section. There ought to be a Vinicultural Society of Southern California, with headquarters at Los Angeles. The large hotel at San Luis Obispo was destroyed by fire a few days ago; loss $100,000. Three days after the fire the citizens of the town in mass meeting assembled, decided that a new hotel must be built; $31,000 was subscribed in the meeting for that purpose, and already the building is under way. It is such energy and public spirit as that which builds up a country. Attorney General Garland, in testifying before the Congressional Committee which is inquiring into his improper relations with the Pan-Electric Company, said: "I have never undertaken to make any 'money except by law and poker.' I always 'lose at poker and generally win at law,' Mr. Garland must be chastened in spirit or he would never have made such a humiliating confession. Your confirmed poker player never admits his inferiority at the game, unless under great provocation. For stealing eggs from a barn near Stockton, two men were sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. They appropriated the market for California business except at fall tariff rates. This is said by the Atchison officials not to be a step toward restoration, but the outcome of the fact that the road is overrun with more business than it can handle. The Atchison gave notice also of a change in passenger rates from the Missouri River to California points equivalent to an advance of $5 on each class. The new rates take effect to morrow, and will be as follows: First class, limited, $30, with rebate of $10; second and third classes, $20, with rebate of $5. Needed Legislation. What the wine producers ask Congress to do is succinctly stated in the following: First—Legislation to prevent fraud and imposition in the wine trade, compelling the products which are known as imitation or bogus or compounded wines to be sold under stamps which shall identify their true character to all purchasers, and suppressing entirely all such as contain adulterations known to be deleterious to the public health. Wines that are pure to be so marked, that public confidence in them may be established, with a stringent penalty for false markings. Second—In making genuine sweet wines the privilege of distilling a portion of our grapes free of tax to obtain pure wine spirits to fortify such sweet wines according to the commercial standards, with limitations to such privileges as follows: The wines so fortified not to contain, after fortification, including the natural strength of the wines as produced by fermentations, more than 24 per cent. of absolute alcohol. No wings to be so fortified free of tax except such as are positively sweet and not less than 4 per cent. of sugar, according to tests made with Ballings' must scale, after the distillation of the spirits, the volume of the residue being restored to the original volume of the wine tested by the addition of water; this privilege to be limited to the original place of wine-making, and to apply only to pure wines made from grapes and to the wine-makers who distil their own wine spirits. In the case of wines intended for exportation, however, fortification with wine spirits, free of tax, withdrawn from bond for any kind of wine and to any extent demanded by foreign markets, under supervision of the Internal Revenue service, with provisions against fraud and to prevent the importation of such wines without payment of the tax on the spirits used in fortification. The opposition to these demands, on the part of whisky distillers, is abating, and there is now reason to believe that Congress will enact the desired laws. A Boy Husband. Rocky Hill, N.J., April 20.—This village is greatly excited over the announcement of the marriage of Mrs. Tillie Van Mann, a widow worth over $100,000, to William Brown, the son of her gardener. Mrs. Van Mann is forty years old, while her husband is not yet sixteen. The courtship was in progress for some months, and was begun by Mrs. Van Mann. The boy is very handsome and so is the widow. She has refused a number of offers from elderly men since the death of Mr. Van Mann. The couple are now enjoying an extensive wedding trip. A Girl Forger. For stealing eggs from a barn near Stockton, two men were sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. They appropriated the eggs and ate them because they were hungry. The punishment for their damning offence is in the nature of a reward, for they are at least sure of board and lodging for a twelvemonth. The London papers have been commenting rather savagely upon a somewhat similar case which recently transpired in that little isle. A starving woman stole four pennyworth of turnips in the west of England, and was sentenced to hard labor for twelve months. Justice is impartial the world over—at least when dealing with petty offenders. The street-car drivers of New York are on a strike again, and their former success has made them unreasonable in their demands. The strikers submitted to the Railroad Commissioners a long list of demands, fixing the hours and pay of all employees of the road in all its departments, obligating the company to take back all strikers and to discharge all employes who are obnoxious to the strikers. The company submitted a series of propositions, offering after the men should have returned to work to submit the questions of hours and pay to arbitration, but positively refusing to discharge any of the men now employed or to employ any more of the strikers than was necessary. These terms were not acceptable to the strikers and all efforts to arbitrate the matter were abandoned. Sympathy for the strikers should not blind the public to the fact that their demands are tyrannical and unreasonable. The two little sons of the Widow Harrelson of Georgetown county, S. C., were wrestling in the woods, when a tree that was being cut down fell and killed them both. This happened while their mother was at the bedside of her dying father, A Girl Forger. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 22.—Developments to-day indicate that three of the banks of this city have lost $10,000 through forged notes presented by Miss Priscilla B. McClure of this city, who has always figured in the best of society. The names used as endorsers were her mother, Margaret McClure, and her brother, William McClure, of this city, and her cousin, Sherman Furth, of Bellefont, all of whom are of the best society. They deny the endorsements. It is believed there is a man interested in the case. Steamer Changes. SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.—Commencing on May 1st, the schedules of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company on southern routes will be completely changed. The San Diego route will after that time have three steamers. The Orizaba will sail on the 5th, the Elder on the 8th and the Santa Cruz on the 11th. These three steamers will leave here every three days on that route. The Los Angeles and Eureka will run on the San Pedro line, commencing with the Eureka on May 2nd, and then will leave every five days thereafter. A Muscular Christian. GREENVILLE, Cal., April 21.—A row occurred last night between Rev. J. W. Hendleton and the editor of the Bulletin over an article which appeared in that paper concerning horse jockeys in the pulpit. The minister applied the article to himself and attacked the editor. A rough and tumble fight ensued till friends parted them. Aside from hair pulling and scratching no damage was done. PACIFIC COAST ITEMS. Modoc offers a bounty of three cents for rabbit scalp. There will be about 380,000 head of sheep shorn in Fresno county this spring. The oil belt in Ventura county will increase the taxation of the county about $100,000. A 6-year-old son of William Warford fell into an unused well at Tucson, A. T., and was drowned. Eugene O. Smith, a gambler, died at Merced from the excessive use of opium. Smith was an assumed name. Many peach orchards in the vicinity of Fresno have been seriously injured this winter by a superabundance of water. Crockett Jones killed his wife by choking and wrenching her neck last Saturday at Potklatch, fourteen miles east of Lewiston, Idaho. Judge Terry has purchased the residence property of Judge Holmes in the northern part of Fresno, and will make his home there. The Supervisors of Monterey have called an election to determine whether the people are willing to pay $80,000 to build two bridges. A resolution was adopted at a public meeting at Petaluma Monday night to boycott all Sacramento river potatoes raised and controlled by Chinese. Theodore Warlick has been convicted at Mount Idaho, Idaho, of the murder of H. C. Savage last January, and has been sentenced to be hanged on June 9th. Toinbostone merchants are said to be willing to pay $250 each to have their names printed in the several boycotting lists. They claim it is a good advertisement. The shipments of oranges East to date from Los Angeles aggregate about 1,400 carloads. About 300 carloads remain, for which there is a strong demand. A sensational crank preacher in Montana says "any man who will deliberately wear black clothes has a black soul, and would rob the widow and orphan." The foot of James Sanford was caught in the step of a passenger train near Alkali, Or., while he was in the act of stepping off, and he was dragged 100 yards and killed.

A half-million-dollar hotel will soon be erected in Kansas City, and the citizens of that bustling town are wild with delight over its evidence of its growth. The New York Legislature has passed resolutions congratulating Ireland on its progress toward Home Rule, and Mr. Gladstone on his broad and generous policy. A baker's strike at Derby, Conn., resulted in a bread famine in that place for several days, as union bakers in surrounding towns refused to get out an extra supply. The strain on the floor of a house in East Macon, Ga., at which a wake was being held the other evening, was so great that it gave way, precipitating the corpse and all present into the cellar. Cocoa is reported to have been so extensively used by persons ignorant of its properties, in Detroit, that a number of persons there have, as a result, become unable to take care of themselves. It is stated that $20,000 was the average price paid by "Jake" Sharp for a vote in the New York Board of Aldermen in favor of granting the franchises included in the Broadway Surface Railway charter. Thaddus Stevens died fifteen years ago, and litigation over his estate continues, and there is enough money left to keep the matter before the courts several years longer.

At Effingham, Ill., at a recent school election, Mrs. H. B. Kepley ran against her husband for School Trustee and defeated him. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE TRUSTees of Anahim School District will move as a Board of Equalization on April 28th, 23rd and 28th, between the hours of 2 and 3 p.m. on said days, at the office of Maltese & Knapp, in the town of Anaheim, for the purpose of equalizing the v-summent roll of said school district for the current year. THEO. RIMPAU, D. W. C. COWAN, W. M. HIGGINS, District School Trustee. A Safeguard. The fatal rapidity with which slight Colds and Coughes frequently develop into the gravest malades of the throat and lungs, is a consideration which should impel every prudent person to keep at hand, as a household remedy, a bottle of AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL. Nothing else gives such immediate relief and works so sure in all affections of this class. That eniment physician, Prof. F. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical School, Brunswick, Me., says:— "Medical science has produced no other ano-yne expectorant so good as AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL. It is lavaluable for diseases of the throat and lungs." The same opinion is expressed by the well-known Dr. L. J. Addison, of Chicago, Ill., who says:— "I have never found, in thirty-five years of continuous study and practice of medicine, any preparation of so great value as AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for treatment of diseases of the throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds and cures severe coughs, but is more effective than anything else in relieving even the most serious bronchial and pulmonary affections." AYER'S Cherry Pectoral Is not a new claimant for popular confidence, but a medicine which is to-day saving the lives of the third generation who have come into being since it was first offered to the public. There is not a household in which this invaluable remedy has once been introduced where its use has ever been abandoned, and there is not a person who has ever given it a proper trial for any throat or lung disease susceptible of cure, who has not been made well by it. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL has in numberless instances curred obstinate cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis, and even acute pneumonia, and has saved many patients in the earlier stages of Pulmonary Consumption. It is a medicine that only requires to be taken in small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is needed in every house where there are A sensational crank preacher in Montana says "any man who will deliberately wear black clothes has a black soul, and would rob the widow and orphan."

Donnell, a surveyor by profession and a native of Bath, Me., aged 27, is supposed to have been drowned by the waters from the overflow of the Sacramento river on the Sutter County Land Company's place. His body has not been recovered. Two little girls of Neil Houston were drowned in Canyon Creek, four miles from Salt Lake, Sunday afternoon. The eldest, seven years old, tried to walk a footing over the swollen stream with the youngest tied to her with a shawl, but slipped while half way over and, falling into the water, both were drowned.

An April tool exploit of one of the New Orleans papers took the shape of tampering with an artesian well in which there is much local interest. A connection was secretly made between this well and the city water works, and a stream of water forty feet high was the result. Some of the stockholders of the well sold out before the trick was discovered. Shocking Cruelty. Scranton, Pa., April 21.-The trial of John McAndrews and his wife on a charge of murder, in having caused the death of a 13-year-old girl named Mary Gaughan, who had been entrusted to them some time ago, is progressing here. Frank Gaughan, the girl's brother, aged 11 years, testified that she was sent long distances in her bare feet in frosty weather, was made to sleep on the floor on a bed made of meal bags with no covering, and subsisted entirely on mushh. At no time since last fall was she permitted to wear shoes or stockings. On Saturday evening before she died McAndrews heated a poker until it was red hot and robbed it upon her teeth, saying that if her ghost returned to this world he would be able to identify her. Frank last saw his sister on the morning of her death. She was lying on the floor with nothing over her. She asked him to lift her head on the pillow and to place the family dog upon her feet to keep them warm. The children of the house maltreated her, and one day put a bit in her mouth and chased her around the house. McAndrews said they might kill her for all he cared. The Sunday before she died McAndrews removed Mary's clothing, put her in a tub of water and then beat her with a hornehip. This terrible story was corroborated by the neighbors, and Coroner Dean, who examined the body of the child immediately after her death, testified that she died of starvation and neglect. A Big Reservoir. A gentleman who recently visited Bear Valley says that the immense reservoir at that place is filled to the top of the dam and the company are talking of adding another foot to the wall to increase the quantity. The water is fifty feet deep at the dam and backs up into the mountain gorge several miles, forming a great lake.

Miss Francisca Heannella, who had earned the appellation of the silent girl, from having, as is related, never having spoken a word for seven years, in consequence of a vow taken after disappointment in a love affair, died in St. Luke's Hospital at San Francisco last Friday. Deceased was 29 years of age. By a telegraph operator's error, two passenger trains bound in opposite directions, met on the railroad near Colton on Wednesday. Fortunately the engineers were on the alert, and by the use of the air brakes the trains were stopped, leaving a distance of but six feet between the two cow-catchers. It was a very narrow escape from a frightful accident. At Modesto Benjamin T. Crow, son of Bradford Crow, of Crow's Landing, met with a fatal accident on Tuesday. Whilst chasing a cow, the horse he rode became unmanageable and stumbled over a calf. The young man fell on his head, and from the effects of the injury received he died on Wednesday. Mr. Crow was well known in this county. His father is a pioneer and is well known over California and Nevada. Ben. was 28 years old, and leaves a wife and child. A Dam Bursts Pittsfield, Mass., April 20. At 6 o'clock this morning the village of East Lee was inundated and devastated by the breaking away of the dam at the Mud Pond Reservoir at Mountain Lake, about two and a half miles from the village. East Lee village, where a half dozen paper mills are situated on the stream, received its first news of the accident when the flood came pouring down the streets. It is thought that the damages will amount to many thousand dollars. Much stock besides property is lost. Explorers have already found the bodies of eleven persons and three persons who were living in the track of the flood are missing. A Big Reservoir. A gentleman who recently visited Bear Valley says that the immense reservoir at that place is filled to the top of the dam and the company are talking of adding another foot to the wall to increase the quantity. The water is fifty feet deep at the dam and backs up into the mountain gorge several miles, forming a great lake. Statistics are not at hand to show the vast quantity the reservoir contains. At the bottom of the wall, which, by the way, is thirty-six feet thick, there is an opening with a gate or way for an exhaust. The managers opened this a short time ago, and the pressure was so great that it sent the water out like a stream from a fire nozzle. A barrel was filled with earth and dropped from the top of the wall into this immense jet. The barrel was tossed off like a ball — Times. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. LECTURE! REV.
