The Weekly Gazette. ISSUE EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuechl, Charter Kuechl, Emerald are Purchasers. THURSDAY JUNE 6, 1839 The election is over and we are now, by the suffrages of the people, residents of Orange county. It still remains to be seen whether the county shall be called into being. The prospect of an interminable wrangle in the courts is, to say the least, not reassuring. If the Supreme Court shall finally decide the Edwards hall to be unconstitutional, as is contended here, the election will be shown of its significance. How the county government will be put in motion until the question has been settled in the courts; is a question which yet remains unanswered. It is probable that the first hearing of this case against the Commissioners will come up in the Superior Court on Saturday, before the six Judges sitting together. Is regard to Tuesday's ballots, some of which were unfortunately not of proper size, we would "rise to remark" that, the average citizen is not expected to have all the snap Acts of a legislature at his fingertips. Ballots had been in the hands of the Executive Committee for a week, and the error, if discovered, could easily have been recruited. Not even the gifted attorney who made such a vigorous fight against dividing the county, detected the mistake. So we are all "in the same heat," and conscientious criticism should be distributed in small packages equally all around. The returns show that 2,887 votes were cast in the new proposed county, of which 2,373 were in favor of division and 514 against. It would have taken 448 more votes to defeat division. As we did not have them, and could not get them, we suppose the next thing for us to do is to see what the Courts say about the matter. Dr. Head, in his remarks, referred to the dolger circulated by Anaheim representing a man hung and stating that Dr. Head expressed the sentiment that all those voting against division should be hung. The Doctor stated that such was an infamous lie. What he did say that has any bearing on the subject was that he remarked jokingly at Orange that night, that he believe that anyone voting against Orange county in Fountain Valley would be hung. Santa Ana Blade- NEWS IN BRIEF. Prescott county will have a good mediation crop. The Talara liquor license has been reduced from $75 to $40 a quarter. Chitown are said to be pearling into California over the Mexican border. Peach trunks in Placer county will yield about one-third of a crop this year. Any person destroying a shade tree in Olympia, W. T., is liable to $150 fine. Ground has been broken for a new $6,000 Methodist Church at Los Gatos. Banning is one of the few places in Southern California where charrine thrives. It is said that 10,000 sheep perished in the rain storm in Walla Walla county, W. T. John S. Hutchins of Oroville shamed $7 worth of wool from four sheep last Wednesday. The locust plague of East Riverside has been stopped by burning over the uncultivated lands. Timothy Cowell of Pomona believes in oranges. He has finished planting 700,000 orange seeds—about two tons. Mrs. Starr of Lakeport picked a rose on Friday in her garden that measured twenty-four inches in circumference. Farmer King of Modesto is the happy owner of 2,000 acres of summer fall wheat that stands seven feet high. The Southern Pacific Company has taken possession of the Marysville and Knight's Landing Railroad and steamboats. J. W. Wright, a fifty-year-old carpenter, walked off a second-story veranda at Los Angeles Saturday and was fatally injured. The San Luis Obispo military company organized some two or three months since has come to naught, says the Daily Republic. A boy named Smith tried to light a fire with kerosene at Visalia last Monday. Of course there was an explosion and the foolish child just escaped with his life. Tabulated statements of orange shipments for this season show a falling off from Los Angeles and San Gabriel, but a gain of over 150 per cent from Ponoma valley and 30 per cent from Riverside. The marble statue of the goddess Pomona presented to the city of Ponoma by Rev. C. P. Loap will be unveiled on the Fourth of July. It is five feet high, and is a copy of the statue exhumed about forty years ago and now in one of the large galleries of Florence. The original is supposed to be 2,400 years ago. A correspondent of the Prescott Courier who signs himself "Mohave" is authority for the statement that "Captain Dahlgreen will build a railroad to the Colorado river," from Moss mine. The Needles is to be congratulated, for this will be the nearest and most favorable railroad point to which the new road can be built. How to kill gophers is a question frequently asked every time they appear. Dr. Head, in his remarks, referred to the dolger circulated by Anaheim representing a man hung and stating that Dr. Head expressed the sentiment that all those voting against division should be hung. The Doctor stated that such was an infamous lie. What he did say that has any bearing on the subject was that he remarked jokingly at Orange that night, that he believe that anyone voting against Orange county in Fountain Valley would be hung. Santa Ana Blade. An "infamous" hit may be good enough for our brethren at Santa Ana, but with those who heard Dr. Head's remarks at Orange the statement will be found to be of rather small weight. The Doctor said, so the writer heard him. If any man votes in favor of division at Fountain Valley, they would hang him. Whether he used the words seriously or in fun we do not pretend to say. The editor of the Chronicle, published at Santa Ana, was in town on Sunday and entered into a spirited discussion upon the subject of division with several of our citizens. His paper the next day contained some sharp comments about our city. This course is in particularly bad taste, and cannot be regarded by the respectable people of Santa Ana in precisely the same spirit of contempt which prevails here regarding the disgraceful affair. The height of absurdity was reached last week by the Associated Press correspondent at Orange, when he telegraphed regarding Tuesday's election. It is reported that Los Angeles parties will endeavor to vote a couple of hundred laborers on the Anaheim district, but should such an attempt be made many arrests are sure to follow, as noety days in Orange county is necessary qualification for suffrage. Wonder if Dr. Baker's "light of oratory" is responsible for the bigness of the division vote? It is stated that many thousands of orange trees sent to this State from Florida to fill orders for naval orange trees are nothing but the commonest scrub woodings. The Johnstown disaster appears to have been one of these calamities which could not or have been foreseen nor adverted. A small crevasse, gnawed by any one formed in the dam of the Conemaugh reservoir; the water trickled through it, gradually increasing the size of the aperture; by degrees the tissue grew wider and wider, until at last the whole body of water rushed through, tearing the whole dawn away and bleeding the entire valley. No provision can be made against the recurrence of these catastrophes. A orcasion may occur at nightfall and before morning the entire dim may have yielded to the irreducible power of the water. At Johnstown, it seems, the people had ample warning of danger. The new Conemaugh dam was built seven years ago, and had never been constructed safely. Its foundations The marble statue of the goddess Pomona presented to the city of Pomona by Rev. C. F. Loap will be unveiled on the Fourth of July. It is five feet high, and is a copy of the statue exhumed about forty years ago and now in one of the large galleries of Florence. The original is supposed to be 2,400 years ago. A correspondent of the Prescott Courier who signs himself "Mohave" is authority for the statement that "Captain Dahlgreen will build a railroad to the Colorado river," from Mosa mine. The Needles is to be congratulated, for this will be the nearest and most favorable railroad point to which the new road can be built. How to kill gophers is a question frequently discussed in the papers. A Los Angeles county farmer has discovered that the little beasts love celery, and that putting poison on this vegetable and placing it in their way is a sure method of killing them. As a Kimmel of China says the poison should be put on what they are eating at the time; that is if they are eating potatoes, put it on them; if trees, put it on the place eaten, and so on with any root, tree or vine they are destroying. Seven prisoners were brought to Tucson Monday night by Deputy Marshal Breckenridge and Dunavan. All are charged with complicity in the late Paymaster Wham robbery. They were Will Webb, Walter Follett, Edward Follett, Lyman Follett, Thomas Lamb, S. B. Henderson and David Rodgers. There are now ten men in the Tucson jail, all charged with being parties to the robbery. "Cyclone Bill" claims he will be able to prove an alibi. United States Marshal Meada claims he has evidence to convict all the prisoners. Sheriff Martin Aguirre treasures among his relics a half dollar that has done him more service than all the money he has here toforge had in his possession. He had it in his coat pocket the night he went out to arrest Reynault, and when that individual sent a bullet at Martin it went through his arm and struck him in the side. At the point it penetrated his clothing, however, the half dollar was reposing and it acted as a shifl and arrested the flight of the bullet. In doing this it was warped into a perfect cup shape, and in this was found the deadly 44 Commissioner of Pensions Tanner has accorded a hearing to representatives of a class of pensioners who lost both an arm and a leg in the service, one or both near the body. The present rating for such disability varies from $50 to $50 per month, according to the degree of disability incurred and pensioners. This class, of whom there are said to be about twenty, insist that they should be rated at $72 per month. The commissioner, in rendering his decision, held that a just and fair construction of the statute justified the payment of $72 per month to pensioners whose disability is such as above indicated. Dwight L. Lord, cashier of one of the banks at Pomona, says that he was robbed of $1,360 in greenbacks on Saturday night while traveling between The Needles and Pomona. He says that before going to bed in the sleeping car he, as usual, counted his money in his birth and put the roll of bills in his grippack. He did not look for the roll again or give it much attention till he arrived at Pomona, when he found the money gone and also promissory notes to the value of $5,000. There is no clew to the thief and Lord has no idea how so where the theft was committed. Returns have been received from the sale of the first carload of cherries shipped from Haywards. They were sold in Chicago at $1.75 per box of ten pounds. The freight per car of 1,600 boxes is $600 or 37 cents per box, leaving $1.37 per box after deducting freight. The orchardista express them selves in very plain language as to the action in the dam of the Communga reservoir; the water trickled through it, gradually increasing the size of the apartments; by degrees the tissue grew water and wider, until at last the whole body of water rushed through, tearing the whole down away and flooding the entire valley. No provision can be made against the recurrence of these catastrophes. A crevasse may occur at nightfall and before morning the entire dam may have yielded to the irreversible power of the water. At Johnstown, it was the people had simple warning of danger. The new Commaugh dam was built seven years ago, and had never been considered safe. Its foundations were regarded as measure, and early last spring a number of leakages were reported without creating the alarm they should have aroused. The dam rose one hundred feet above the former level of the water, and had converted a marvelous pond into a deep lake three miles long and a mile wide. One can fancy the body of water which was let loose from such a lake when its artificial gate was opened. The breaking of the Bear Valley dam near San Bernardino would result in the inundation of a large part of this valley, so it is claimed, and several towns would stand peril of being washed away. In view of the experience with the dam at Johnstown, engineers cannot be too careful in their inspection of the Works at the Bear Valley reservoir. Turkey was something weird and almost supernatural in the performances of Washington Irving Bishop, the so-called mind reader, who died from a cataleptic fit in New York the other day. Skeptics called them muscle reading, and more than one person successfully imitated some of his triaks. His last feat, however, which proved fatal to him, surpassed all others, and, as a prominent physician has said, seemed to be accomplished by mental or physical powers known to science. Bishop was the godson of Washington Irving and took his name. His nature was strange and erratic, and he had made himself notorious on both sides of the Atlantic by his absurd escapades as well as by his strange feats. He was hardly forty years old, dissipation and irregular style of living having helped to shorten his life. Postmaster-General Wanamaker has issued a circular letter to the postmasters of one hundred of the largest post offices, asking them to report in detail the amount of work done in their respective offices on Sunday, and also requesting them to offer suggestions as to the best means of reducing the work of that day. Hours say that because going in the sleeping car he, as usual, counted his money in his borth and put the roll of bills in his grippack. He did not look for the roll again or give it much attention till he arrived at Pomona, when he found the money gone and also promissory notes to the value of $5,000. There is no clew to the thief and Lord has no idea how where the theft was committed. Returns have been received from the sale of the first carload of cherries shipped from Haywards. They were sold in Chicago at $1.75 per box of ten pounds. The freight per car of 1,600 boxes is $500 or 37 cents per box, leaving $1.37 per box after deducting freight. The orchardists express themselves in very plain language as to the action of the commission man in selling to the cannery. Many prefer to have their cherries dumped into the bay rather than have the cannery get it at such low figures as they do. They think there is a combination of commission merchants and canners. This is a year of great prosperity for California. The weather has been most reasonable, the rains have come at the right time, the frosts have not visited us, and the sun has shown out most gloriously. The cereals, the trees, the vines, the grass have yielded with each other in their production and growth. We find the following estimates, derived from various sources, as to the value of the forthcoming crop: Wheat $52,000,000; barley $5,700,000; corn $5,000,000—total $63,700,000. Vegetables $3,750,000; canned goods $4,000,000; dried fruits $4,350,000; citrus fruits $3,570,000; raisins $3,500,000; wines $4,000,000. A Paris dispatch of Sunday says: Abont noon yesterday a shock was felt throughout the Bourse on receipt of an agency telegram announcing that the King of Italy and the German Emperor would travel to Strasburg together, and that a grand review of the garison would be held there in the presence of allied monarchs. It was pointed out by interested stock jobbers that such an action on the part of the Italian monarch could mean nothing less than absolute provocation to war. A downward movement in French and Italian rentes was the immediate result of the report, although it became pretty evident before closing time that there was no truth in the rumor. Every now and then a wharf heavily loaded with grain, coal or merchandise, goes crashing down into the bay, and investigation shows that the piles have been honeycombed by tardeo borings. New there is nearly a more soft, defenseless creature on earth than the tardeo, yet a small colony will riddle the stoutest timber like a sieve in a few weeks. Linnaeus called the past calamitas navium, but copper sheathing has disarmed the terror far as ships are concerned. And a little attention to the habits of the animal would as speedily terminate its ravages on the woodwork of our piers. The teredo objects to iron in any form, metallic or in solitary hence all that would be necessary for the complete protection of the bay piers and wharves would be to cover the pilies with thin iron plates from the water line to a few inches below the mud line, where the operations of the lovers are. As said that AT AN OSTRICH FARM. PLUCKING A CROP OF FINE FEATHERS FROM THE BIG BIRDS. It Is Rather Hard Work to Harvest the Plum—A Visit to a California Central. It Takes Three Men to Numble One Ostrich—The Kick in Front. A pluck at the Kentworth ostrich farm having been announced, a party of visitors took the train from Los Angeles for the scene of this unfamiliar form of harvesting. The ostrich farm, which is situated about seven miles northwest of Los Angeles, occupies a very pretty valley at the foot of one of the coast ranges, not far from the Burbank station, on the Southern Pacific railroad. The ostriches are confined in a number of large corrals, in which the birds have free room to run about, scoop out their primitive nests and make themselves generally quite at home. Four of these corrals are occupied by pairs of full grown imported birds, at the present time occupied in laying eggs. In other corrals are young birds, natives of California, which appear to be quite as healthy and promise to be as fine as their African parents. AN EXCELLENT RUNNER. Plucking the birds is by no means a light undertaking. The one thing which makes ostriches manageable at all is that they cannot either fly or leap, or if they can they are not aware of their powers. Hence an ordinary post and rail fence five feet high is sufficient to confine birds standing, perhaps seven feet high, even when they are making the most desperate efforts to escape from the hands of their spiders. But if they cannot fly they can run and kick, and a kick from one of their great strong legs is an experience which nobody cares to try. Thus in catching them it is always necessary carefully to avoid getting in front of them, for they can only kick straight forward. A WILLIAM.

Patrick Murphy, who could neither nor write, was on his part, and not himself, to work accordingly. When he could perceive his own name in "course hand," he presented himself before the major, accompanied by several friends. On making his application he was told to write Patrick Murphy in a blank book. He wrote it, much to the surprise of his friends. Howdy Mornar! accompanied one. "Milton Dye mind that Patrick a-writing!" He got a pen in his fist. That will do," said Mayor Harper. "I'll make inquiry about you. Come again in a fortnight, and I'll see what can be done for you." Patrick, yet honorful, said one of Pat's named friends, "and him to write some body chide me." That is well thought of," answered Mr Harper. "Patrick, write my name." He wrote your honor's name; enclosed Pat, jumping out of the trap before it could spring. "Me commit forgery, and I am on the perimeter. I can't do it, my honor." The mayor, of course, new through the run but he loved a joke, and Patrick Murphy, it the course of time, exhibited himself to his admiring friends in the uniform of a police man.

Plucking the birds is by no means a light undertaking. The one thing which makes ostriches manageable at all is that they cannot either fly or leap, or if they can they are not aware of their powers. Hence an ordinary post and rail fence five feet high is sufficient to confine birds standing, perhaps, seven feet high, even when they are making the most desperate efforts to escape from the hands of their spiders. But if they cannot fly they can run and kick, and a kick from one of their strong legs is an experience which nobody cares to try. Thus in catching them it is always necessary carefully to avoid getting in front of them, for they can only kick straight forward. When plucking is to begin three men enter the corral and approach the birds. They try to get the one they wish to catch up into a corner, but as the bird soon sees that his best chance lies in keeping in the open, he races down one side of the corral and then up the other, making it appear as though were an almost hopeless task to catch him. His strides are enormous, but his great feet and the muscles of his thighs are so strong that he comes along with an easy, springy gait, in which very little is seen of the foolish awkwardness which is the first characteristic to strike strangers when they see the bird at rest. After several quite vain attempts to reach the bird as he runs past, the quickest of the men throws himself upon one of the hung wings, and the first time, perhaps, finds himself sprawling on the ground with a handful of broken feathers to reward him for his pain. Soon, however, somebody is fortunate enough to get a good hold and by the time he has been dragged half way round the enclosure the other two men also are to be seen firmly attached to some part of the body or wings of the bird. Then a sack is rapidly produced from the bolt of one of the men and slipped over the head and long neck, at the lower end of which it is loosely tied. This greatly facilitates matters, and it is now no very difficult job to steer the strange looking creature into a corner of the corral which has been prepared for its reception. Here the fence has been strengthened with strong deal boards, and another heavy board is all ready to be swung around in such a way as to close the bird-and his captors in a small corner, in which no great amount of struggling is possible. The first bird plucked was an old male. The young birds for the first two years of their life are all the same gray color, which the females continue for their lives, but the males, after they are about 2 years old, become very handsome. They turn quite black, thus making a very handsome setting for the great white plumes which adorn their wings and tails. Only the wing and tail feathers are pulled, the curly-looking little tips on the breast which arouse the cupidity of some of the ladies being left untouched. The three men who have hold of the bird force him up tight against the corner of the enclosure, and the one of them who is doing the plucking stands on the side away from the wing on which he is going to commence operations. He raises the wing, and drawing it toward him over the body of the bird, selects the feathers which he considers marketable, and grasping them one by one firmly in his hand gives them a good hard pull and out they come—first the great white plumes, then the smaller whites, and then the larger blacks. It must be a somewhat painful operation for the bird, as the feathers have a tight hold and the wing bleeds more or less at most points from which several feathers adjoining one another have been drawn. Every now and then a renewed struggle on the part of the ostrich, and an effort not always unsuccessful, to shake off the sock which is over his head, bears witness to his not relishing the situation. THE VALUE OF A CROP. As fast as these are pulled and this but he loved a John, and Patrick Murphy, it is the course of time, exhibited himself to his admiring friends in the uniform of a police man. Central America must be a pleasant country for a lazy man. A letter from Costa Rica tells how the people there take life easily. It takes twenty employees to run a short trail of care. All dress in gorgeous uniforms, and the conductor is repleasant in silver and gold decorations. Passengers purchase tickets on credit, and sixty days are allowed for the payment of freight bills. Out in the country goods are carried by ox teams, and frequently takes a team a week to make fifty miles. Nobody is in a hurry, and nobody cares to do today what can be put off until tomorrow. The necessities of life are cheap, and long credit is forced upon the purchaser. Nobody steals anything, and a poor teamster will carry thousands of dollars many miles for thirty cents. Such a thing as highway robbery is unbeard of. The people have no violent prejudice against anything except hard work, and they will do anything to help a stranger until he proves himself disgraceable. Then they will notify him to leave, and if he is slow about it they will force him to go—New York Telegram. Dog Portrait. Is it, perhaps, not generally known that more money can be made nowadays by painting the portrait of dogs than bylimbing the features of the human animal. The extent to which dog portraiture is being carried is almost incredible, and is a remarkable sign of the times. There is one well known painter, whom the public would no more suspect of dog painting than they would of designing pictorial advertisements for somebody's soap, who makes a large income in this way. Of course there is nothing dishrelicable about it, but it shows that a curious fan has taken bold of the dog owning public. Many a man who would not dream of having his own portrait or that of any of his children painted, would pay readily and handsomely for a good portrait of his favorite dog. The natural result is that the demand creates a supply, and the number of artists who devote themselves to this branch of art is very large—London Life. An Intricate Language. The intricacies of the English language are well illustrated in the definition given of a sleeper: A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which the sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper. Rich Man. A Tory contemporary is responsible for the ridiculous statement that M. Alphonse de Rothschild is "the richest man now living. If not richer there ever has been." This is, of course, object nonense; for in New York at the present moment there are four men each of whom is quite as rich as M. de Rothschild; viz: William K. Vanderbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor and Jay Goald; and my imaginative contemporary is evidently unaware of the fact that when W. H. Vanderbilt died three years ago he left to his family no less than fifty millions sterling—London Truth. That's the Doctor. A Stockton doctor's wife recently asked him to draw a pail of water. It was quite THE VALUE OF A CROP. As fast as the feathers are pulled, and this is done very quickly, they are handed over the fence to a man standing close by with a box. Meanwhile the two wings have been plucked, and the tail, which produces feathers shorter than the best wing plumes, but much wider—such as are used for the best tips. Then the sack is removed, and the board which incloses the party having been swung back, the bird is set loose, a queer, curtailed looking monster, shorn of his glory, but probably in a day or two much more comfortable—in hot weather at any rate—for being freed from the burden of his great, heavy plumes. Care has to be taken again, as the mack is removed, that he does not reward his tormentors with a kick, which, if well delivered, would easily break a bone, but his inability to kick any way except straight in front of him makes it no difficult matter. Then the chase is renewed, and the royal consort is, in her turn, humiliated by having her proud head enveloped in the sack, and so the game goes on till all the birds which are ready for plucking have been dealt with. It is very hard work on a hot day, as not only have great agility and considerable courage and perseverance to be displayed in catching the birds, but even holding them in the corner while the plucking is going on involves an almost continuous struggle, more or less severe. The operation takes perhaps about twenty minutes for each bird after it has been caught, and in this time some two hundred to two hundred and fifty feathers of various sizes are pulled. Each bird is plucked twice a year, the plumers requiring a growth of about seven months to reach perfusion. The feathers, if not retreated on the premise or in Los Angeles stores, are sold by weight. A short time ago they went on sale as a pound, but they are now going up; the warming of certain feathers in late having aged become fashionable. A fall grown bird will give rather more than a pound of feathers between his two paws, but as they are warmer than there is not much profit to be made out of buying them when feathers are freshening up. They are fed mainly on almonds, apples and strawberry vegetable food that can hardly be eaten. Corn, wheat, dryage vegetables, kidney and bilium adzuki. The City Market keeps the hunt most that the market affords. Leave your notes with them. A Stockton doctor's wife recently asked him to draw a pull of water. It was quite late in the evening and the doctor took a pull in one hand and a lighted lantern in the other and started for the wall. A hook and pole was used in the absence of a pump. The doctor carefully fastened the lantern to the pole and lowered it into the well, submerging and extinguishing the light. It was only when the lantern was drawn to the surface that the mistake was discovered. He must be the doctor that saw off the wrong leg—Lewiston (Ma.) Journal. Answering for himself.
