Bird Migration.

Gen. j. II. Shields sends the follow
ing oonundrum on birds: Throughout
the season Of migration northward, now
setting in. countless myriads of wild
geese and sandhill cranes, daily, aud
sea-birds occasionally, fly between the
mountains that are the lofty sidewalks
Of La Canada valley, but the return mi
grafton, in autumn, avoids the channel
between the mountains 10 fly over the
plains, seaward Of the south-side noun
tain wall Of La Canada. Here is CO.
nundrum. Wegive it up. Solve it, ye
that are experts in ornithology, and the
relations Of mountains to arial naviga-
ton. A genius at our elbow. half seri-
ously, suggests that park Of bird artil-
lery be planted on Shields Dome,''
near the head of Shields Canon, which
from its front position and great height
does, more than any other summit, COM
mand the erial pass-way Of the migrat-
ing game, which mostly fly near to and
at about the height Of "Shields' Dome"
Hero is chance for sport among the
clouds. Something new under the sun
and way up towards the sun. But,
when it thunders. the people in La Cana
da valley would have to run in out OF
the weather, and stay in until after the
shower Of fat geese.

A Bold Robbery.

A Frcnchman who has been engaged
~ sheep-hsrder by NJ. Byrne. came to
town yesterday and drew his pay. over
80. With this money he went over to
the brewery and invited some parties to
take drink with him. Among those
invited was { fellow. who gives his name
as Frank johnson, who had been lying
around the brewery for several days.
The Frenchman took cut his purse and
displayed his money, and shortly after
wards left town, following. 10 line of
the California Southern Railroad.
johnson took a circuitous route, headed
him of and lay in wait for him on the
trestle bridge across Lyle Creek. When
the Frenchman arrived johnson sprang
ON him aud struck him several blows
over the head with a bar Of iron, knock
ing him down and then robbing him Of
the money. made of. The Frenchman
recovered from the blows, however, and
with his head streaming with blood,
made his way to the field Of H. L. Mar
tin, where Mr.. Ralph was at work. and
gave the alarm. Mr.. Ralph at once got
9 pistol and started in pursuit. ovsrtak-
ing johnson and putting him under ar
rest. The whole Of the money, 800. was
recovered. Ralph then brought John
SON to town and turned him over to
Deputy Sheriff Allen, who kindly took
him in charge and placed him where he
will be safe until wanted. johnson 40
knowledgea the whole crime, and stated
that he had been hanging around town
for several days with nothing to do and
nothing to eat, and hal male up his
mind either to get some money by rob-
berry or get into jail. It is probable that
his latter wish will be satisfied to bis
hearts content. = San Beraardino

storm Notes

The rain announced In the HERALD
yesterday, continued with great force till
about a. NJ, after which there were
occasional showers during the day. The
Signal Service report up to Sr. NJ.
last evening was 2.O2 inches, while that
OF Mr. Dscommun was 2.67 inches. In
the country the rainfall varied from l.5
to 2 inches. The Coyote creek was on
the rampage SO as to injure quarter Of
mile Of track on the Santa Ana branch
Of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
In consequence there was no
train on this line beyond Downey
City yesterday. 1t is reported
that the San Gabriel river has extended
its current to the sea. very unusual
circumstances, that has happened but
once in ten years.
Snow fell yesterday at Yuma, and the
temperature was redocsd to the surpris-
ing depres ion Of 25 degrees. Snow also
fell all the way from Dos PAlmas to Obi
ton, on the Southern Pacific, and at Po-
mona a small culvert was washed away,
which delayed the Sunset overland about
IN hour aud hal. The train from the
north was detained near Mojave by the
softening Of the track and the ditching
Of 6 few freight cars. 1t arrived all safe
and sound about 9 P. M.
The Pasadena stage crossed the Arroyo
Seco yesterday with the mail but de-
clined to take any passengers. Owing
to the celdness Of the weather the vapor
that fell on the mountains on Thursday
night remained in the form Of snow ane
ice, and spared Us probable overflow
Of the river from the heavy fall Of rain
that came down at that time.
But the ground is SO saturated with
water now that warm rain is likely to
make lively times along the river. II is
we'll to be watchful against all appear
ance of danger. This year is year Of
frsshets. and California will have share
Of them.
The mining prospectors are happy at
the prospect Of cheap hay, cheap barley
and plenty Of grass and shrubs on the
desert this year. while the placer miner
is iubilant at the prospect of plenty Of
water in the little meuntaiu streams,
which insures him good spring bust
ness and plenty Of gold dust. IL is esti-
mated fhat the various placers and aras-
tras last year turned out 500, 900 in
gold in this county.
The copious rain will enable the grape
planters to break up new land
and plant about 5000. 900 vines in
this county, but from present ap.
pearances the cuttings will have
to be planted Is they were in 1874, after
the first Of April. But in that year ali
that were planted bef5se the fist of May
did very well.
From careful inquiry since the great
storm Of week ago. it appears that 70
much nav land will be planted a. to
swell the acreage Of wheat in this coun
try to 2Oo. 900 acres
Corn planting will also be larger and
later than usual on account Of the great
rain and great deal Of land will bearcorn
that had not sufficient moisture before to
raise that crop. As soon as the ground is
dry enough to be plowed. every available
team will be pressed into service to pre-
pare the soil for seed. The rainfall. ac-
cording 10 the Signal Service. is now
1925 inches. and by Mr.. Dacommun,
l9. 81 inches. Not less than 25 or 30
inches may be expected this season.

A ssrsnss Case.

On the 9th of November last man
named James Lucas was robbed Of
thousand dollar greenback in San Fran
cisco. Word Of the robbery was sent to
the SherihFs Office in this city. and Dep.
uiy Sheriff Gard soon got on hot trail
Of the money, but had no authority to
arrest the suspected party. He tele-
graphed Chief Crowley, Of San Francis
co, that he thought the thief was here,
and asked for authority to arrest
him. Bat his request was neg
lscted. He also telsgrAphed aud wrote
Detective Lees, Of San Francisco, but
that officer pretended that he didn't
know where Lncas was. He then in
formed both officers that Lucas was at
Jacksonville. Oregon, but still they took
no action; said Lucas was out Of the
State and they could do nothing. At
length word came from Lusas that he
was to pay the San Francisco officers half
the money II they recovered it, and a.
Deputy Gard was the dstector OF
the thief. there was no inducement
for them to take any pains to catch the
supposed robber. Hearing that the pos
SCISSOR Of the money was preparing to
leave town, Mr.. Gard arrssted him on
Wednesday and sent again for authority
to hold him. After holding his prisoner
a hours. and failing TO get the nscsssa-
~ papers to hold him longer, he was 70.
leased on habeas corpus and yesterday
drew his money from bank and skipped
for New Mexico. The name Of tho
party suspected and arrested il L. @.
Hudson. and Deputy Sheriff Gard says he
had = dead sure case against him. II % the
blame lies ct the door of the San Fran.
Disco officers. Deputy Gard certainly
deserves great credit for following up
this case 30 unremittinzly for moro than
three months. and the San Francisoo Of.
Rcsrs are deserving Of csnsurs for their
unpardonabIe neglect. There Is some
thing rotten in criminal proceedings in
California that ought to BE- rsmsdied.

The United States Acsuary.

The following picture Of Prof. Z. B.
Elliott. U. s. Actuary. an office created
by Congress- for the purpose of securing
the services Of this profound scholar, ap.
pears In the N. Y. Herald. will be
recognized by his relatives in this city as
true to life:
The actuary OF the treasury is Ezekiel
B. Elliott, Of Massachusetts,. He is one
Of the characters Of the public service.
He il thorough mathematician, and
lives amid his sines and cosines and To-
garithms. He was once in the bureau of
statistics, but he was too valuable to be
employed in tickling the imagination Of
Congressmen by furnishing them with
fancies in numerals to support both sides
Of . discussion. He was therefore taken
into the department, and il one of the
must valuable men there. he il wholly
depended ON for all the calculations that
are made in the secretary's Office. His
large desk il numbered with papers,
seemingly in great disorder. but when
he wants q particular document, he
presses his forehead with his forefnger
for second, then dives into the mass
and pulls out the desired object IL may
be only an old envelope with few fig
ures and Greek letters, full Of meaning,
however, to Mr.. Elliott and of interest
to the investors Of the country.
Probably no IN IN in America ever led
a life more purely scientific in devotion
than Prof. Elliott. He is member OF
the American Academy Of sciences, and
the Americas Association for the Ad-
vancemsnt Of Science. and recognized in
England and on the continent of Europe
a. second to none in naathematical sci
ence. He is now about OF years Of age,
profound a. Newton and artless as
child A. mathematical electrician he
stands with Ampere and the foremost Of
mankind. 1t is pleasant to see this un.
ob@trusive genius SO faithfully pictured
before the people without his knowledge
or consent. He Il native Of New York,
not Massachusetts,.
