Cold Water.
For The Fayetteville Observer.

SOLD ~ AIEH, LIN y EcSEL,
April Goth, 1873.
Mr.. Editor-Perhaps it is.
time for Cold Water to report
what progress she is making in
the way of farming, etc. Your.
correspondent has been looking
around the nighborhood some
and finds our friends and neigh
bors are all up with the times.
1t is said that time waitsfor no
man, but Just keeps jogging a
long regardless of man and
things; but / think that she ha !.
gone ahead of herself some
thing like a month. The peo-
pie of Cold Water are nearly.
all done planting. A great
many of them tore up their fields
last fall. The consequence
is they were ready to plant
as soon as spring opened. There
is a good deal of talk and spec
ulation about wheat. Early
wheat, have no doubt, is GO
ing to be, in great many in
stances, a failure. Rust, I'M
mistakably,- has made it's APP
pearance in many fields; be-
sides other indications not very
promising to the farmers. How
ever, the late sowing looks pref
ty well. We are sorry to re-
port the death of one of our
near neighbor women, Mrs.
Mary Ann Wilson, near J. G.
Sloan's store. Although in
humble circumstances, yet she
was we'll liked by her neighbors
and friends, industrious and
kind. She leaves a husband and
one child, a pretty little girl, to
weep and mourn for their loss.
The writer of this, with all the
neighbors, sympathise with the
bereayed. We hope it's well
with her. We hear of a great
deal Of complaintin the country
around. No lack of some
thing to talk about.
You can't turn around for
candidates. Farmers have to
set on the fence half the time,
listening to clever men cleo
pioneering. Oh. how clever
they all arei [ wish we could
vote for all of them. It would
be a great thing if'everybody |
would be candidates. What
grand times it would be. We
would be so glad to see one an
other.
On last night, Oath, we had
one of the severest storms that
has visited this part of the
country for several years. We
have not heard Of any houses
being blown down, but fences
and timber scattered around |
promlscuously. A good deal Of |
damage done in the way of |
falling trees on lands in cult
yation. The wind was high in
this neishborhood. If it had
been as low as some storms we
have seen, it would have torn
up everything by the roots. A
long on the ridges the timber is
smashed upata terrible rate. We
expect to hear of disasters soon.
Live stock would, l think, fare
but middling. Mr.. Editor, Cold
Water is a social, civil, quiet
place; the people are noted for
their hospitality. They gensr-
ally have something. to treat
their friends and acquaintances
with. 1t may be coarse but
nevertheless it is substantial.
Come down and get acquainted
and spend a few days with us
for once in Jour life. II.

GaIileo say, "And yet it moves. for

Not content with killing tho he

Professor Wheeler, of Yale Col

dinner of the Alumni Association
of New York, in which he dis
coursed in this cold-blooded fash
ion:
The famous saying attributed to
Louis XIV. of France, "Hetat c'est
moi" was never uttered by Louis
at all, but was said by Mazarin
twenty years before Louis
came to the throne, and said
by Mazarin before Queen Eliza
beth. Sappho never killed herself
by jumping from a rock, but died a
natural death. Leonidas fought at
Thermopyl@, not with only 800 at
his back, but with 1000 The phi
losopher Diogenes never lived in a
tub. The stories of the virtues of
the Roman matron Lucretia must
be rejected, while the story OF Ho-
ratio and Curatii is worse than
doubtful. The sons of Brutus were
not the victims of their fathers
firmpess, but OF his brutality. 1t
was utterly impossible for Han
nibal to have followed up his VIC

his using vinegar to cleave the
rocks of the Alps is absurd. So,
too, is the story of Cleopatra dis

ARTESIAN WELL.
Good Flow o. Water at Eighty Feet on tn
Verdugo Rancho.

We are informed that, on We'd
nesday, Mr.. Putney, who has been
boring for water OH aportion of the
Verdugo or San Rafael Rancho,
belonging to Mr.. A. Glassell,
obtained, at depth Of eighty feet,
an inch and a half steady flow Of
water above the surface of seven
inch pipe. On experimenting, the
water readily rose eighteen feet
above the level of the ground with
out any apparent diminution in its
volume, flowing over at that
height. The well is situated in a
valley among the hills, about one
and one-half miles northerly from
the Los Angeles river.
The water from this well, togeth.
er with the united water from a
number of neighboring springs,
flows into a natural reservoir which
Mr.. Glassell has formed by throw
ing dam across a deep ravine
From this reservoir, which is
tapped by cast iron water gate
and pipe, the water is conducted or
lands below, or may be poured al
pleasure into the eastside ditch ol
the city. We understand that Mr..
Glassell contemplates boring one
or two more wells in the same
neighborhood, where the prospects
for water are equally as good as a
the site of the present well.

The Treat IN tore---Philharmonic

Last night we looked in at Good
Templar Hall as spectator of the
last formal rehearsal which will
usher in the grand Philharmonic
Concerts, which will be inaugur-
ated at the Horticultural Pavilion
tonight. Without descending to
details of the rehearsal, we will
merely mention that a rare treat,
to the success of which the musical
talent of all Southern California
will contribute, is a certainty to-
night and thereafter. We found
that Professor Conterno has his in
strumentalists well in hand, and
that the experience and accom-
plishments Of this gentleman,
United States band-master and
former valued member of Graful-
las famous New York City band,
have been applied to excellent pur-
pose. There will be special COM
pleteness about all the orchestral
and instrumental features of the
Philharmonic concerts. A notable
and enjoyable feature of yes.
terday evenings rehearsal, as
it will be of the concerts,
was a duet by Madame Maria and
Miss Mamie B, Perry, in which the
delicious mezzo soprano of the pro-
fessional lady will blend capitally
with the splendid and command.
ing soprano notes of her pupil.
Altogether we may safely yen-
ture to promise musical attractions
of rare order at every one of these
concerts. We learn that, to insure
the perfect comfort of the audience,
stoves will be provided during the
season. The matinee which was
arranged for this afternoon will be
dispensed with, the only matinee
being given Friday afternoon.
