Funeral of Major Kerns.

Tile funeral of the late Major VIM.
II. Kerns took place to-day at 10
O'Clock A. NJ, from the st. Charles
Hotel. The services in the parlors Of
the st. Charles, were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Hickey, of the Fort Street
nj. E. Church, and were ofan impress
i've character, the discourse abounding
in beautiful passages and ideas. The
remains were followed to the grave by
q large number of the friends and ac-
quaintances of the deceased, under
the immediate auspices of the militia
ry of the city, consisting of the Grand
Army of the Republic, under COM
mand of Past Post Commander G.. e.
Gard, which turned out in force, and
of which deceased was an honored
member. The veterans of the MeXi-
can war and q fine escort of the Los
Angeles Guards in full dress uniform
under command of Captain BARLEY,
the whole preceded by Desmond's
band. The remains were deposited
with military honors, concluding
with salute of three volleys dis
charged over the grave. The display
was of an imposing character, credita-
BILE alike to the friends of the deceased
having the matter in charge, and to
the organizations represented. Thus
has concluded the earthly career of
one who by his deeds of valor had
gained for himself the profound respect
of his companions in arms, and for his
many sterling qualities had endeared
himself to all those who knew him
intimately. Some of his friends here
have been associated with him in va
rious ways since his advent upon this
Coast, now some eleven years, and
their grief and tears show how deeply
they deplore his sudden death, and
how difficult it is to reconcile them
selves to the loss of their noble heart
ed friend. His absent friends and rel
atives may be assured of the heartfelt
sympathy of large concourse of
friends in their bereavement, although
not personally known to them.

Cost OF Fencing.

According to the figures furnished
by the Department of Agriculture
fencing is very great expense to the
farming portion of the nation. The
number of acres of land fenced in the
United States is 25O, ,5O5,6l4; and the
number of rods of fence 1,619, 100, AS.
The cost of this is 81, al, $40, ,931. This
approaches the amount of national
debt on which interests paid, and ex-
ceeds by about one billion of dollars
the whole paper circulation of the
United States. The total cost of an
nual repairs is st ated at 93,963, 1o7,
and the annual interest on the origi-
nal cost at per cent. at sos, ,S52, ,995,
making grant total annual tax up
on the farmers, apart from the eX-
pense of rebuilding these fences, of
$19S, ,S06, 1872. California has invested
in fences over one and u half millions
of dollars, and but for the no-fence law
in operation i'll many courts the item
of expense would be much larger.
The day will come when there will be
no perishable farm fences in the Unit
ed States. In many portions of Eu-
rope the only fences to be seen are
living hedges. If people were COM
PEELED to fence in those localities the
expense would be so great that no
profit would accrue from soil tilling
and agricultural pursuits would have
to be abandoned. Les Angeles val
ley will never be fenced except with
the hedges that may be easily and
cheaply grown from willow and other
species of hedge making wood. The
same is true of large area of the San
Joaquin Valley.

Successful Transfer.

The Santa Barbara Press says: 1t
will possibly be remembered by the
readers of the Press that, last June,
Captain Mullet, who then command
ell the Star of Freedom, captured sew
enteen sea lions of Santa Cruz. He
started with them for New York, left
the finest Of them with the authori-
ties for the Centennial exhibition, and
carried the rest of them to Europe,
where he sold them to good advantage
not having lost one of them during
the voyage. He passed through here
on Saturday Ell route for Los Angeles
with several animals, viz: lions, tigers
leopards, and huge bear, which he
proposes showing to any one having
fancy for pets. Captain Mullett will
open his menagerie in the lot on the
east side of Spring street, just below
Court. He has fine selection of ami
mails and other curiosities.

SOME one who probably knew little
of lawyers and less of the Changers,
started the report that the Grange had
declared war on the legal fraternity.
OF course every intelligent person
knew there was no truth in the report
and to finally and effectually settle the
matter the Colusa Sun, which is rec
ognized Grange organ, says PROPOSE
tion of that kind introduced into the
County Grange there would be uncer-
enormously kicked out and the mover
receive lesson which would in all
probability quench his thirst for alb
surd sensations. The California Gran
gers, says the same authority, are not
given to crudities of this character,
though like all other organizations
there are Anticipated individuals ever
ready to seek notoriety at the risk of
their own folly. OF this class is the
lawyer fee bill so much talked of
lately.

Santa Monica Items.
[From the Outlook, 9th inst

An experience of over two months
strengthens us in our first impressions
that Santa Monica is most delightful
place for residence.
A number of new houses have been
built within the past ten days, and
work is now progressing on several
more.
The weather at present is most de-
lightful. We have no thermometer
to consult, but judge the mercury
stands at about 80 degrees.
w. II. Williams, Postmaster of
Santa Monica, is having the Postei1ice
arranged in real city-like style. A
large number of boxes and drawers
have been provided with keys and will
be given to those who rent them.
Under Sheriff III. NJ. Mitchell closed
the Santa Monica Hotel yesterday,
under an execution in the case of G. &.
Lips, of Los Angeles, VS.. Morgan d
Munroe, for $4 $50. The furniture and
fixtures will be sold at auction on the
I'd day of December.
Owing to the unfinished condition
of the water-works, but few expert
ments have been made in growing
trees and shrubs. But the few tests
that we have seen are very successful.
The plants in front of the Santa Mon
lea Hotel are all growing beautifully,
as well as the eucalyptus trees around
Judge Widney's cottage on Ocean
Avenue.

as cool and refreshing for slumber as
the days are temperate and inviting

San Diego items.
[From the World OF the 2ith.


a very fine shower of rain fell upon
us this morning, doing great good.
1t is now said the water will again
be turned on in this town at the close
of the week.
The Bee Keepers Convention assem-
bled last night at Horizons hail. in ac-
cordance with the adjournment yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Begole took
the chair, and Mr.. Hendrick the place
of Secretary. No permanent organi-
cation was effected or suggested, and
we suppose none will be instituted un-
til the bee men get more fully into
line. The meeting was very respecta-
BILE i'll point of numbers.
The following resolutions were adop-
ted:
WHEREAS, II lnr.'c proportion of the
farmers ANA producers oi Sau Diego
county are living upon government
land to which they have not been able
as yet to obtain title, the land being
unsurveyed; and
Whereas, the settlers upon such
lands have no right, under existing
laws, to enforce the trespass law upon
land unless it is under cultivation; and
Whereas, the natural growth Of
grass for farming stock and the sage
and other Towering plants for the bee
feed are frequently of rs much value
and Importance to producers as culti-
waited crops, and may be trespassed
upon and destroyed by non-residents,
and others who drive sheep or other
stock on and over such land; and
Whereas, personal conflicts and diff
ficulties, to the injury of the public
peace and well being of society, arise
from such condition Of the present
laws,
Therefore, the undersigned respec.-
fully petition the honorable Legisla-
ture of California to pass such laws as
will enable the owners and occupants
of vernment, pre-emption and
homestead claims, or lands to which
they NAV have title, to so enforce the
trespass laws as to protect not only
cultivated lands but the natural growth
and production of the lands, such as
grass, trees, Towering shrubs, &c., and
also to exempt from execution such
property of bee-keepers as may place
them on an equal footing with other
producers.

UnWise Legislation.

All men are fallible, and those pos
sessing the greatest wisdom are most
ready to acknowledge their weakness,
and look with more leniency upon the
mistakes of others than upon their
own. Hence their willingness to cor
rect and make restitution. Our legis-
lators as body are generally men of
consideration and a good degree of in
telligence, yet they have been guilty
of many egregious blunders, which
we have no doubt they will make
haste to correct when again assembled
in legislative capacity. The Act by
which the Governor was made men,
ber of the State Board of Education
and the Secretary of State a member
of the State Prison Commission is un-
wise. These are important positions
and can only be judiciously filled by
men possessing talents peculiarly
suited to the position. 1t is true we
always expect to have men of talent
to fill the offices of Governor and Sec
retary of State. But if they are faith
full servants in the office to which they
are elected they will have no time to
attend to anything else. Besides, they
may possess all the talent requisite to
fill the Office to which they were
elected and be totally unqualified to
control the educational interest of the
State or manage a penitentiary. None
but men who are experienced in such
things are competent to control them.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

Yesterdays reports from Santa Bar
bara say that the weather indicates
rain.
A Santa Barbara dispatch says:
Thanksgiving day was very generally
observed here. A choral Thanksgiv-
ing service was held at the Presbyte-
rian Church, all denominations unit
ing. The attendance was very large.
The Baptists gave dinner at Odd
Fellows Hall in the evening. A
grand ball in aid of the Odd Fellows
Library also took place, q large con-
course of people participating.
Benjamin f. Gerts, of Boston, and
Chas. Knight and wife, of Waltham,
Mass, went on board the Pacific at
Tacoma, and, with the others, were
lost. Their names have not before
been published.
There has been heavy and disas-
trous gale off the coast of Fifeshire, in
which some fishing boats were lost.
Sixteen fishermen are known to be
drowned and fourteen are missing.
Catherine Donovan died at 479
Greenwich street, N. Y, yesterday
aged 104 years.
A Quebec dispatch says information
from the Gulf states that the vessels
engaged in conveying provisions from
Halifax to Magdalen Islands have
been lost. AS the Islanders were de-
pending on these vessels for their win
ter supplies, many persons must
starve unless Government sends re-
lief.
The funeral of Vice President Will
son took place yesterday.
A Madrid dispatch of yesterday says:
The Epocd, to-day, editoriolly discuss
ing the latest diplomatic communica-
ton received by the Government
here from the United States Govern
ment on the Cuban question, says that
Spain is disposed to concede any quiet
demand which America may make in

A DEGREE of success has attended
the attempt to introduce the shad in
Pacific Coast rivers. The first young
shad from the Hudson were placed in
the Sacramento river, ut Sehama, in
1871, and the second lot in 1873. Late
ly sixteen full grown shad Were caught
at Vallejo, and half grown fish have
been taken from other points on the
river. From this the Commissioner
thinks the experiment has been sue
cessful, and that shad will soon be-
come plenty in the Sacramento.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-11-27

1t was certainly great oversight in
the Legislature to suppose the Gov
ernor and Secretary would be suitable
men to place in charge of such inter
ests. THOMAS JEFFERSON had the
talent to make one of the best Presi-
dents the United States ever had, but
he would have been very poor cap
tain of steamboat. Yet we have no
doubt THOMAS JEFFERSON would
have guided steamboat quite
as successfully as our rpenitentiary has
been conducted. Under proper man
agement this Institution would pay
its own expenses and contribute u
large amount to the treasury of the
State annually, but under its present
management it draws large amount
from the treasury each year, and thus
it will always be until it is placed un-
der the control of some one compe-
tent to manage it. Our educational
interest is suffering in the same way.
We must have men of experience in
these postions-men capable of de-
tecting any errors in the system, and
able to suggest the needed changes.
The people are being taxed heavily by
the blunders and mistakes of incom-
petent men. We do not attach any
blame to our former Legislators for
these mistakes, no doubt they did the
best they could under the circumstan-
ces, but now that the mistakes are
seen the next Legislature will be Sc
verely censured if they fail to correct
them

to have it in good condition when bus
mess commences.
Councilman Lichtenberger was one
of the committee last night at Turn
Verein Hall to examine the lady me-

is no terror to Lichtenberger.
