Distressing Accident.
THREE WOMEN DROWNED.

One of the most distressing dispense
tions that has ever befallen this commu-
nifty occurred last evening, about sun
down, near the eastern bank of Rock
river, short distance above the north
ern limits of the city. A party of
young ladies and girls consisting of Miss
Lizzie ingalls,, Lulu Culver, Lulu Han
son, Miss Lucy Smith, Lettie Spafford,
and Belle Phelps. residing in the imme-
date neighborhood, had made prepare
tons for bath in the river, and Misses
Hanson, Smith and Culver, preceded
the balance of the party in carrying out
that design. A spot nearly in rear of
the residence of Mark Ripley was chos-
en- a convenient and suitable place for
their operations In this locality the
river is deep but the bed naturally has
gradual descent from the shore. The
action of running water through the
ravine has accumulated at its mouth a
sand-bar which extends short distance
into the river, terminating in an abrupt
descent, beyond which the river attains
a death of some twelve feet. 1t was in
the shallow water which covers this
bench of sand that the girls were sport
ing, unconcious of the danger which
awaited them but few feet toward the
center of the stream. Lulu Hanson

ORANGES AND LEMONS IN CALIFORNIA.
The orange and lemon are, and will
probably continue to be. the more profit
able orchard trees in Southern California.
Sixty trees are planted to the acre. They
come into bearing slowly, but at ten
years from the seed, or eight years from
pIahtlng out the nursery trees, the lemon
VIII bring 600 and orange 1000 to the
tree; and have seen 1000 lemons, or
$500 oranges on single tree at fifteen
years of age. Now, lemons sell in San
francisco at $50, and oranges at from
S15 to SO per 1000; and from the
tenth year of a trees age, with good
culture, irris alton, and a fit climate
that IS to say, almost anywhere in Cali
fornia south of StOcktOn-these trees are
found, in practice to yield, at the very
least, $40 clear profit per tree, or 5000
per acre. This is very low statement
far below the present actual Weld of
orange orchards in Los Angeles and
and San BernardinO. | know an orange
orchard of nine acres near Los Angeles
which has brought its owner S.. 900 per
annum clear profit for sew. raj years past
One mans labor sUtltcee t. keep in per
IeCl urdef twenty acres Of any of these
fruits, But it should not be forgotten
that all these trees are the better for ir-
rigation. They grow better and faster
and bear more regularly and freely
and the orange and lemon particularly
will, am persuaded, bear but poorly
without water, though some people deny
this. The most skiilful orchardists in
south California now irrigate once in six
weeks, and, of course. pillow after every
irrigation. | have no dopbt that the
tTtAu1nt rluwlng Is a great help TO the
trees. There are people in California
who Imagine and assert that the ground
