Capt Victor Schumacher has been looking at his walnut trees and finds them filled with plenty of blossom buds, more than he has noted for several years.

These buds were absent to a large extent last year, as well as the year before and to this circumstance, coupled with the fact that blossoms were correspondingly scarce the following spring, he attributes the shortness of the past two years' crop. Capt. Schumacher called in to get some government seeds and pay his subscription a year in advance, which he always does punctually every year, and in this he sets a good example to all subscribers.

The Board of Supervisors had a special meeting on Monday and awarded the printing of the delinquent tax list to J. D. Lynch.

The County Recorder was allowed an additional deputy for one month at a salary of $60. Judge Sepulveda will call the calendar of civil cases in his court on Monday next at 10 a.m. sharp. The sessions ensuing will be set for January sessions. Civil cases will be set for February, commencing on the 8th. A grand jury will be called for the 10th of March and a term trial jury will be impanelled on the 16th of March when trials in criminal cases will commence. Mr. L. E. Fish has had circulars printed in the Gazette office descriptive of his Grand Mechanical Combination, the gas making feature of which has been previously described in these columns. It is also used for heating purposes and for refrigerating purposes. A temperature twenty degrees below zero can be obtained with this ingenious apparatus. Those interested should call upon the inventor and get him to explain the principles of his invention. Mr. S. C. Foy dropped into our sanctum this morning to deny the twice-repeated assertion that since the American occupation no man has been legally executed for murder in Los Angeles county. He says that in 1854 or '5 he served upon a jury which found Felipe Alvitre guilty of murder, and the prisoner was condemned and executed, Sheriff James Barton officiating assisted by Undersheriff Wm. Osborne. It was soon after this execution that the Vigilanter turned out and hanged Dave Brown, a desperado to whom they despaired of the law's doing justice. A distressing calamity occurred in the harbor at Wilmington on last Sunday about noon. Capt. Wm. Sanford, a boatman who plies between Wilmington and the various ships in the offing, started from Wilmington wharf in his whale boat at the time mentioned, having on board fifteen sailors who belonged to the bark Cassandra Adams, then lying in the bay. The sea was ugly, breaking in great waves over the bar, and just as the boat reached the bar a heavy sea broke over it, swamping it in a twinkling. The disaster was witnessed by the crews of several ships in the harbor, and a number of boats went at once to the rescue. They succeeded in saving nine men, six being drowned, including Capt. Sanford. The latter's daughter witnessed the swamping of the boat, and her husband, Capt. Lindskow, was one of the rescuing party. We feel great satisfaction in being able to authoritatively contradict the report of the massacre of the Messrs. Sparks and Petty and their families which was published in last week's paper, Mr. Adolph Rimpau has just received, in his capacity of officer of Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W., to which Sparks belongs, a letter from the latter dated at San Augustine, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, January 9th—a date several weeks subsequent to the one on which, according to the story published, Mr. Sparks and companions were killed. The party was in good health when the note was written, but were dissatisfied with the country. Mr. Decker is at Silver City. The rumor of the massacre probably had its foundation on some of the outrages which the Indians are constantly perpetuating in that country. Only last Friday Indians attacked the stage between Mesilla and Silver City, killing the driver and three passengers. The Benevolent Society of Anaheim has it regular weekly meetings and has been able to accomplish considerable good. Ladies are constantly visiting and searching out new cases of need, and therefore it is not surprising that they found in their rounds, the mother of Mrs. Besentes Orantes. The old lady died last Sunday at the advanced age of 110. Her family was among the aristocracy of Mexico, well educated, refined and wealthy. She, however, who has in youth danced at many a festival, clad in satin and adorned with costly jewels, ended her days in poverty, yet blessed by the attentions of her faithful daughter. The ladies of the society are anxious to send a poor crippled man to the county hospital. We hope they will be successful. It is desired that all persons interested in advancing the work of charity in our midst will join the association. It is impossible for the officers to give a personal appeal to every person in the town, but they hope that this appeal will be sufficient and that none will feel offended if not called upon.
