ton, being more chiefly read by the more
thrifty families, and hence its advantages to
advertisers are obvious. nov20tf

As THE CHARMING CHARAC-

IA ter of Southern California, and more
especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known to the world,
it is not surprising that a widespread and
growing interest in this region should be
awakened. 1t is the constant aim of the Press
to furnish perfectly reliable information on al
points of interest to tourists, invalids and
home-seekers, which we are now able to do
with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote the
prosperity of all Southern California by all le-
Ultimate and honorable methods, 1t is more
directly interested in the growth and coming
greatness of Santa Barbara. The unequaled
loneliness of the climate, its almost Incredible
healthfulness, the beauty of the scenery, tn
wondrous variety and fertility of the soil, tn
almost unlimited range of products whic
flourish there without irrigation, will b
known from time to time by facts which can
not be controverted, In the columns of the

BROWNSVILLE, o August 10, 1874 g.
ED SPIRIT: John Grimes, residing
three miles from Brownsville, died Friday
morning, July 81, and was buried in
Brownsville August l. Mr.. Grimes was
one of our aged and most respected
neighbors. His death is mourned by all
who knew him. The funeral Was largely
attended.
Mr. S. W Barber is teaching select
school in our village; organized classes
one week ago and has about 80 pupils
Mr. B. is we'll liked as teacher, and the
youth thirsting for literary knowledge
will do we'll to enlist under him
The land has been refreshed with rain
during the last few days and nights, and
we think corn will do well. Hay worth

Benton township this season; no plants
to set out, and beside the people are dis
gusted with growing the filthy weed.
Quite an excit ement was created in
town this morning by the running away
of DR.. Wilson's horses while attached to
a buggy with the Doctor on the seat. One
OF the horses. being colt, did notre.ish
its situation, and, colt like. proceeded to
kick and run in the most frightful fashion
until it was, by the Doctors skillful hand.
drawn up against the house of Geo. AL
geo, where the colt sat down like cat for
few moments, then gotup and knocked
the buggy and harness loose. The Doc
tor concluded to not drive the colt to day.

IL Brister, late of the firm Of Bris-

few days ago. We understand that bis
body was to have arrived in GAINESVILLE

in regard to the terrible deed from the
associated press dispatches: 80,
ST.. JosEPH, Me-, August. 10-The
Herald has the particulars Of a fearful
tragedy which occurred at Creston, Ia,
at o'clock this morning. J. T. Burnett
at that hour entered the bed room of his
stepson, j. L. Brister, ,and cut the latter's
throat from ear to ear. The presump.
tion is that the murderer must have
alarmed his victim as be approached the
bed, for there was evidence of quite q
struggle. Brister's wife, in bed with
him, was literally drenched with blood.
The woman was so crazed that the name
of the murderer was all that could be
got out of her. Burnett escaped, but is
being pursued by a large force and his
capture is regarded as certain Bel

Watering TrOughs.

An act relating to roads and highways
passed March 8, 1868, vol. 65, section
16 Of said act provides:
THAT the trustees OF every township
in this State are hereby authorized to
provide and maintain suitable places for
procuring water for persons and animals
on the public highway in their town
ships provided, that not more than fifty
dollars shall he expended in any town
ship, in any one year, for such purpose,
to be paid out Of any moneys in the
township treasury not otherwise appro-
priated." ..
The provisions Of this law, If carried
out in every township, would be great
blessing and benefit to persons and COM
munities. While there are a few such
places provided in some Of the town
ships, yet the travelling public anc com
munities feel the want Of such places
along nearly every public highway
There are plenty of good springs along
the roads where watering places might be
erected at very little expense. This
law should receive the careful attention
of the trustees of every township and
such watering troughs provided on every
public highway.

SANTANA Bay Company.

A correspondent who has been takinga
look at and about Samana Bay, writes of
the Samana Bay Company
This company commenced operations
by building hotel on the top of noun
tain, which, in this climate, / wonld call
inaccessible. Itis half-fnished, and that
part is already rotten by rain and sun A
little farther down the mountain is bill
lard room, or rather barn, which is half
finished also and gone to decay. Further
down comes the Governors house, Prof
Howe's small wooden shanty containing
three very small rooms with kitchen at
tacbed, and to get up to this house in this
hot climate is task that none would seek
for pleasure l visited them, and at every
step lizards of all colors would bounce
out of the grass as we'll as in the houses
The company sold all its old furniture, in
the shape of desks and chairs, early in
June, and the only thing they now pos
sess is small steam launch, now going
to decay, as no coal is there to run her,
and no trade. The Samana Bay Compa
nv is absolutely defunct and forgotten
there. 1t has left nothing behind it upon
which to build monument, or scrap Of
ground it could call its own.

fyThere is a good deal Of co,nmen, ,ur,.

EF There is good deal Of comment
in the political papers just now on the
significant fact that large, majority Of
the Republican Conventions omit to en-.
dorsc GRANT. One reason for this omis-
sion is, that the managers do not want to
handicap the party with GRANTS sins
Another and better reason is, that the peo.
pie are becoming independent enough TO
rebukc faithless leader. ..>
This example might in some instances
be followed with advantage in the Demo.
cratic party. While tits perhaps not OK.
pedient TO denounce and discard a leader
who is generally trae and trustworthy,
for one or Two minor errors, ,neglecting To
endorse him is a courteous and effectual
way OF calling attention to his dere.
lictions. If he has gone as,ray know
ingly it will be a fair warming to him, and
II through misapprehension it will teach
him to better inform himself as to the
wishes Of his constituency.
This government belongs to the peo
pie, and MOTTO officials or party leaders
ana it has wholesome effect to make this
fact felt occasionally.

EThe beauties of negro rule in the
South, under the Fifteenth Amendment,
are thus stated by the Philadelphia Inqui.
rer, Republican organ:
"Having been kept down during the
days when the 80 called superior classes
ruled, they are making the most of their
sudden elevation. They have nothing TO
lose and everything to gain. If the State
becomes hopelessly in debt the result is
Of no importance to them. Real estate
will have to bear the burden, aud their
landed possessions are small. Protest or
entreaty are alike unavailing, and the ma
jority in the Legislature of South Caro-
lima is despotically repeating the lessons
which were taught them when they were
held in suhjebtion to the influence and au-
thority of a few persons"
= What splendid legislation it was that
brought sbout such results!

Marsh a, Baxaine,s Escape.

LONDON, August 1.-THE following
interesting particulars of the escape of
Marshal Bazaine from his prison, on
the Isle of st. Marguerite, have been
received: The apartments occupied by
the Marshal opened upon a terrace,
which was built upon lofty and pre-,
cipitous. cliff overhanging the sea. A
sentry was posted on the terrace, with
orders to watch the prisoner every
moment. During Sunday evening the
Marshal walked upon the terrace with
Colonel Villette, his aid de-camp, and
at 10 o'clock he retired as usual, appar-
emily to sleep, but before daybreak be
had effected his escape. He must have
crossed the terrace in the dead of nj aht,
and eluding the sentinel, gained the
edge of the precipice, thence by means
of knotted rope, he descended to the
sea. He evidently slipped during the
descent, and tore his hands, as the rope
was found stained with blood in several
places. Under the cliff, in hired boat,
were Bazaine's wife and cousin. They
received him as he struck the water, and
Madame La Marechale taking the oars
herself, rowed directly to strange
steamer which had been lying off the
island since the previous evening. They
reached the vessel in safety, taken
on board, and the steamer then put to
sea. 1t is thought that they have Ian
ded at Genda, as the steamer proceeded
in that direction. The first news of the
affair came to Grasse, the nearest town
on the coast, and the magistrates of the
town Immediately sent officers in every
direction to search for the fugitive
There was great commotion in Mar
seiHes when the facts became known
and an investigation opened. Colonel
Villette who was walking with the Mar.
shal on the evening of his escape, was
discovered there and imprisoned The
commandant Of the fort of st. Margue-
rite, was placed under arrest, and Cen
eral Lemae has gone to the Island to
investigate affairs.

Terrible FAMINE in Cesarea.

New YORK, August 13.-Rev. DR.
Clark, of the American Board, Of For
eign Missions, has just received letter
from Rev. j. o, Burrow, Of Cesarea, da,
ted July 10, in which he gives some
thrilling details of the terrible famine
now prevailing in that region. Mr.. Bur-
rows writes while 80 or 80 miles north
he witnessed the rayages of the famine,
which is very severe; and also beyond,
toward Angora, many villages are en-
tirely destroyed. In some one or two
families or parts of families remain in
the district of Sangarta. which is beyond,
and in which city there is Protestant
Church and as many as 500 persons have
died of starvation. The horrors of this
famine are indescriba5le; many people
have subsisted on grass for weeks, and
then died. Beggars have focked to the
cities, and there many Of them have died
because they could not get morsel of
bread. Old men, mothers with babes at
the breast, young men that have become
children, young boys and girls half-ua.
ked, begging, crying, fainting and dying.
BODIES HAVE LAID IN TIE STREETS ONE,
TWO, AND EVEN THREE OR FOUR DAYS
before burial, and dogs cave feasted on
them. Many of our Protestant commu-
mites have suffered greatly. At Singar-
ia some of the brethren have sold their
houses, shops, household furniture, bed
clothing aud everything, and now must
beg or starve, and perhaps they will both
beg and starve. In one village there
was one Protestant family in which the
father, mother, and all the children but
two have died of starvation. In the
village Of Sujuli there was pleasant lit.
tie Protestant community, several Of
whom were members of the church, with
the preacher residing with them, but
they were poor. The preacher went to
Yozgal and purchased flour, becoming
responsible for the pay himself, and SO
kept alive six families. Now, unless the
preacher can be paid, his creditors will
take everything from him.
