MIA" Nearly the entire day wa.
passed in making these arrangements
and in planning and preparing for the
new organization.
1t was made known that Mr.. Bixby
had proposed to donate so acres OF
land for the use of the Association, il
the buildings would be located on the
grounds. Other parties made state
ments of the same nature, but the
location of the grounds is hereafter to
be determined by the board of direc-
tors. This is very important move
ment TO the agricultural interests of
Southern California. 1t bids fair to
give an exposition which shall fully
represent the products and resources
of this section of The State. Already
in this county there are hard upon one
thousand grangers; they are from the
steady, well-tO-do. industrious classes,
and if they all put their shoulders to
the wheel, all interested in farming
will be benefited

"You must first establish stable

ant proof that the spirit of considera-
BILE portions of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, in New York is ripe for
this departure. The accession of the
Rev. DIR. Goddard, Rector of one of
the largest and most important
churches on Staten Island is a good
sign. Numerousletter from clergymen
of other denominations, expressing a
readiness to take part in the work have
been received. Presbyterian, MethO-

pressed desire to take charge of new
organizations in this movement.

Phmton race comes off. Many OF our
fair friends who are adopts at handling

public that this race alone will be well
worth q visit to the park.
Following at two, the scarcely less
exciting Hurdle race Of one mile over

take place. The entrance fee is $40, to

track is in magnificent condition, the
recent showers have freshened up the
face of nature, and cleared the atmos-
phere, and with fair ladies, gallant
men, and prancing steeds to enliven
the scene, there can be no doubt that
the Park will be the center of attrac-

OUR BUSINESS HOUSES.

THE CERRo GoRDo FREIGHTING COM
PANY.
Every day our readers notice in the
HERALD the arrival of teams from
Cerro Gordo with bullion, and their
departure for that place and Lone
Pine, laden with goods, but few of
them are aware of the extent of this
business.
Uader the careful m engagement of
Mr.. Nadeau the Cerro Gordo Freight
ing Company have established a regu-
lar line of heavy wagons for the trans
portation of freight, and every day
two pOnderous teams leave our city
loaded with general merchandise.
while two arrive loaded with bullion.
These teams consist of from twelve to
fourteen mules attached to two heavy
wagons coupled together, one behind
the other. The load is from three and
a half to four tons for each wagon, or
from seven to eight tons for each
team, so that the daily receipts of
bullion by this line is fifteen or six
teen tons.
10 maintain regular arrivals and de-
partures, it takes forty-eight regular
teams, besides six or eight extras, that
make side trips, or fill the place of
disabled team. The distance from
Los Angeles to Cerro Gordo is about
225 miles, and eleven stations are
maintained, at all of which goods are
delivered, and also to Lone Pine and
Independence.
Three companies are now engaged
in producing the bullion, and as they
are extending their works, and in
creasing the product, the freighting
company will soon add to their pres
ent force, as they are even now unable
to get the bullion away as fast as it
accumulates.
The company have large estab-
lishment in this city, employing ten
men constantly in making and repair
ing their wagons. They keep force
of over Is men and 800 animals en-
ployed in the freighting business, and
taken altogether, their business is as
important to the interests OF Los An
geles, as an ordinary railroad would
be. Forming the only means OF COM
munication with one of the richest
mining regions in the State, and bring
ing to the city one of its most valuable
articles of export, the operations and
success of this extensive company are
a source of pride to the whole commu-
nifty. Mr.. r. Nadeau, the principal
stakeholder, is resident of this city,
and to his intelligent supervision and
untiring energy the prosperity OF the
company is largely due. The other
members of the company, we believe,
reside in San Francisco.

RED BLUFFS, Jan. 5.
Execution of Isaac NJ. Williams for the
Murder of Warner. .''*
The extreme penalty of the law was
melted out this day in the yard of the
iail. AS usual on such occasions many
persons came to town thinking per-
haps of getting chance to view such
a scene. Weaver this morning ate a
hearty meal and was visited by his
sister who has worked hard and long
i'm his behalf. At 1870 Weaver had
his photograph taken alone, and then
he and his stertogether. The shackles
were then cut off, and Rev. Mr.. May
hew had a conversation for q few min
utes. after which the sheriff told Wea-
YER that it was now time. Weaver
said, "All right, 1 am ready to die, and
the sooner the better; 1 know there is
no hope" He went firmly to the scat
fold and up the steps. AS the cap was
about to be put on, he remarked, "Let
it be Off" But his request was not
granted. After few words of conso-
lation from Rev. Mayhem the trap fell,
and death was instantaneous.
Horrible Murder.
REDDING, Jan. 3.
One of the most cold blooded murders
ever perpetrated in this section OF the
State, occurred last Tuesday, five miles
this side of Pitt river, on the mail route
from here to Adm. George Cline, the
mail carrier, started on his downward
trip with the mail from Lake City to
Redding, leaving Burkettsville on
Monday at noon; before starting, Jim
Moore and two others entrusted to his
care $3.50 with which to pay their
taxes. A man named John Baker
saw the money paid to him, and
knowing the route he would take,
started out from Burkettsville few
hours in advance of Cline. Baker had
crossed the bridge a short time before
Cline's arrival. The latter told the
bridgekerper he was afraid all was not
right; that he thought Baker was after
him AMI would scalp him. The keeper
told h..n he would loan him pistol;
he did not take it, but mounted his
horse and rode on. After riding a
couple Of miles, Baker had stopped, it
is supposed, for Cline to overtake him,
which he did, and it is supposed they
rode on together. The horse that Cline
rode was shod, while Bakers was not.
On Wednesday morning Cline was
found lying dead at the side Of the
road, with bullet hole through his
head, his pockets turned inside out,
and his horse close by with the mail
bag untouched. When found, the
horse refused to be led away, but was
finally led off. After going a short
distance he broke away and ran back
to the dead body of his rider. A Cor
oner's jury was summoned and was In
session when the mail left. Baker
was arrested at his fathers house on
Hat Creek, and heavily ironed. The
citizens wish to get more positive
proof; should they be convinced as to
his guilt he will be hung by the mob.
Cline was young man OF good char
acter and standing in the community,
His parents reside at Humboldt Bay.
He had been on this mail route but q
few months.
