damage done. We venture the asser-
tior that our grape growers around
this city will gather an average crop
of grapes. The lesson which this cold
snap teaches will more than compen-
safe them for the loss they have sus-
tanned, provided they bear it in mind.
Late pruning is the best protection
against late frost. We witnessed the
utility of this to our entire satisfac-
ton in Napa valley few years age.
1t was the custom of the vineyardists
in that valley to prune their vines in
January and the early part of Febru-
ary. The press of other work prevent
ed one of our neighbors from pruning
his vines until late in March. The
consequence was that his vines bled a
great deal more and his neigh
bors supposed his vineyard was
greatly damaged and that his crop
must necessarily be very short that
season. His vines were two or three
weeks later in budding out than they
would have been if pruned in Janu.
ary. Some time in April of that year
there was a blighting frost, which ut
terly destroyed the first crop of grapes
in all the vineyards in that neighbor-
hood, except the one that was pruned
so late. That vineyard produced a
full crop. This was lesson for the
farmers in that vicinity, for a few
years at least. We do not know
whether they have kept up the plan
of late pruning to the present. All
vineyards under good state of cultiva-
tion will produce every year what is
called second crop; and if, by acci-
dent, the first crop is cut short, the
second crop will be the principal one.
So the vines should be cultivated just
as well as if nothing had happened.
Grapes will be the result. Many
farmers neglect their vineyards after
the first crop has been nipped by the
frost. They neither cultivate the soil
nor prune the suckers from the vines.
This is wrong, for with such neglect
the vines could not produce anything,
even if there had been no frost. Be-
sides, such neglect is very damaging
to the vines. Cultivate your vines
and aid them to overcome the mlsfor-
tune as far as possible.

More and Faster Steamers.

We were shown yesterday a letter
from the steamship office of GooDALL,
NELSON & PERKINS, in which the an
nouncement is made that in a short
time the company will add one, and,
If the business demands, two more
steamers to those now plying on the
Southern Coast route. 1t is the pur-
pose of the company to fully meet the
demands of travel and trade by sup
plying an adequate number of steam
ers, and to see that travellers and ship
pers are supplied with every accommo-
dation. The company also promise
that during the course of the Summer
they will place on the route two fast
and commodious steamers that will
make the trip between this city and
San Francisco in twenty-five hours.
We need greater freighting facilities
and faster passenger boats, and we are
glad to hear that the company recog-
nize our wants and are preparing to
meet them,

ey all we want" They remained in
the house about an hour. On depart
ing, one remained behind some min
utes after Chavez and the other roober
had left. On mounting he saluted
Mr.. Litttlefeld with "Adiss; you
catch me, maybe.n Joining his COM
rades, the three started on gallop on
the Inyo road. They were met few
miles from the scene Of the robbery by
several teamsters, whom they passed
unmolested, but with guns pointed to-
ward them.
They are well mounted and armed
each with revolver, besides having
two Spencer rifles and one shotgun in
the party. They took shotgun and
other arms from the station. Messrs.
Littlefield and Nichols recognized the
three as men who passed along the
road towards San Bernardino about
seven weeks since. They then paid
their bills and got change for a $75
check. Teamsters whom they passed
say positively that the leader of the
band is Chavez. In the wilds of Inyo,
splendidly mounted and armed to the
teeth, their capture, unless through
treachery, seems hopeless. Here is an
inviting opportunity for our active
Sheriff to distinguish himself. We
hope that he will not allow the DASH
ing Rowland to monopolize all the
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-04-07

From the San Bernardino Guardian.l
Chavez has commenced to execute
his threats. On Sunday, the 2Sth ult.,
at 10 o'clock P. NJ, he and two of his
band rode up to the Station kept by
Nicholas Littlefield, on the Panamint
road, about 10 miles out from this
town. Hslting, they asked for corn
for their horses; next for barley, twen-
ty-five pounds of which was furnished
them and fed to their horses. They
then asked if they could be served with
supper; were told yes. Still, they
were slow about dismounting. On
dismounting, they entered the house,
two of them calling for the drinks,
Chavez drinking only water. They sat
down, talking quietly; talked of buy
ing pair of boots; got quart bottle
of whisky; occasionally muttered in
Spanish; one in broken English again
asked for supper, while another went
into the kitchen. Returning from the
kitchen, the trio talked in Spanish a
moment, when they were Interrupted
by the appearance of an Indian (who
works around the house) at the door.
They invited him in, but he paid no
attention. At this juncture Mr.. Mich
OILS came In from the kitchen, when
the three Spaniards simultaneously
sprang to their feet, and with cooked
revolvers presented at the heads of
Messrs. Nichols and Littlefield, ordered
them to throw up their hands, speak
ing in Spanish and Kissing out some
thing about "Americanos." Both men
were then tied. The robbers also at
tempted to tie the Indian, but other
Indians riding up, they let him go,
when all the Indians took to flight.
The robbers then ransacked the money
drawer and helped themselves to goods
to the total amount of 500. They
robbed "a la chevalier." No abuse;
no violence; no rough overhaul
ing in search of plunder. While two
of the bandits were searching for the
cash, the third stepped to the door and
took two Spencer rifles and shotgun
from their saddles, placing them near
the door in convenient position for
handling. Mr.. Nichols asking them
not to hurt the woman, Chavez re-
piled quietly, "No hurt woman; mon

The CIops-Frost, Etc.

On Monday about l o'clock p. NJ. q
North wind came sweeping over our
valley, which continued until o'clock.
1t seemed to wilt away every green
thing. Yesterday morning frost and
ice were visible on all the low and
moist grounds. We learn that in some
localities the young leaves and
other vegetation were fairly cooked.
1t is reported to have been very severe
in San Jose valley, around Spadra.
Much fear Is entertained for the safety
of the grape crop and other fruits. We
have no doubt that the early fruits
have all suffered considerably; per-
haps, in some localities, the crop Of all
kind of fruits will be very short, but
we entertain no fear for the grape
crop. There will be good crop in
every part of the valley, except in a
few vineyards that were pruned early
In the Winter. We have witnessed
these things before, and can Judge
pretty accurately Of the extent Of

How We Land Them.

MR.BDIToR: On reading your article in this
mornings HERALD on the Senatorial Com
mission TO Mexico, bathing, ETC., etc. was
thrillingly interested In the manner in which
you launch your beautiful sen0ritas into the
water without infringing upon modesty; but
what bothers me is as TO how you are going
to land them with the same success. "That's
what's the matter" DICK SWIvILER.
We are sorry for having kept the
enquirlng Mr.. SwIvILER so long in
suspense, but few words may relieve
him. The aforesaid lovely sefioritas,
after playing mermaid pranks in the
water to their hearts content, slowly
approach the shore, lying low in the
water, and on nearing the spot where
their dress lies floating OH the surface
they suddenly dip, and presently their
head emerges through its center, when
they gracefully walk ashore, dressed
precisely as they were when they en-
tered minus a little starch. There
now, DICK, we hope this will fill up
the hiatus in your Imagination and
complete the picture.

The University Burning-Detafls

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5th.-The
University Mound College was burned
last night. 1t was a three-story and
basement frame building. About
sixty students lodged in the Univer-
sity. The fire originated in the base.
ment. 1t was supposed to be set on
fire by a lately discharged Chinese
employee in the building. 1t is a to-
tai loss, but few articles of furniture
being saved. No lives were lost. One
student was partially suffocated, but
he was rescued before life was extinct
The institution is under the control OF
the Presbyterian denomination. 1t Is
preparatory school for the University
Of California. The loss to the trustees
is forty to fifty thousand dollars. The
teachers and pupils loss will foot up
from five to ten thousand dollars addi-
tional. The insurance is twenty-five
thousand dollars.

Excursions.

Our countryman N. C. Carter has
gained reputation as an excursion
ist. All who have travelled on his
trains speak in the highest terms of
him. He is now getting up an excur-
sion party for the East. His train
will leave San Francisco May the 5th,
and returning, will leave Boston and
other Eastern critics about the middle
of June. The advantages of travelling
with this excursion train are cheap
ness and convenience. The fair is
about one-third less, and as there are
only thirty passengers allowed in a
car, there is room and conveniences;
besides, they stop over at different
points and have time to rest and see
the sights. a

A travelling GroWler.

A correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Post, writing from San Bernar-
dino, takes occasion to throw great
deal of newspaper thunder at the Will
mington travelling accommodations,
and then proceeds to hurl his anathe-
mas at our railroad and stage facilities.
We know that there are great many
newspaper men in San Francisco
whose knowledge of the State is
bounded by Kearney, Montgomery
and Market streets and Telegraph Hill,
and we know that when one of these
"writers for the people, does stray out
of the city he feels called upon to
growl at everything he does not un-
derstand, which, by the way, includes
everything, except whisky saloon,
that he sees. 1t is this class of jour-
nalists who find fault with lines of
travel. They would grumble at the
speed of q first-class train to Heaven
if they had to pay their fare. The
Posts correspondent does not like the
method by which travellers get from
the anchorage up to Los Angeles. No
more do we, but he should have had
the candor and frankness to explain
that the facilities of the railroad COM
pany are taxed to their utmost by the
heavy and rapidly increasing travel,
and he should have stated that when
the improvements now being made in
Wilmington harbor are completed,
none of the inconvenience of which
he complains, and which he
greatly exaggerates, will be en-
countered. His complaints of bad
management and lack of accom-
mediation on our railroads are without
the slightest foundation in fact.
Trains are all run on time, and their
time is arranged for the best accom-
mediation of the public. More gentle
manly and obliging officers cannot be
found than Superintendent HEWITT
and his assistants. The people of
Los Angeles valley are satisfied with
them, and the Post writer is the first
traveller whose murmur has reached
our ears. What we have said of the
managers of our railroads is also true OF
stage companies and stage lines. All
are gentlemanly and accommodating.
OF course, when rush of passengers
comes along, as frequently happens,
there is a little jam, but energetic
agents and careful, painstaking driv-
ers soon smooth away the asperities
and make all comfortable and satis-
fed, except, perhaps, chronic growl-
er like the Posts man. To sum up,
we assert, and we believe the travel
ing public will bear US out, that with
the exception of the temporary incon-
veniences of debarkatien, the travel
ing facilities Of Los Angeles and San
Bernardino vallies, and in fact of all
other portions Of Southern California,
are equal to those Of any portion of
the State. And we are improving all
the time. Our railroads are extend
ing North and East, and it will not be
long before steamers will land and re-
ceive their passengers at wharves in
Wilmington harbor and Santa Mon
lea. When next the Post correspond
ent comes this way we shall try and
have him carried over the country in
q band-box.

itself unable to meet the constantly
