    3. San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, July 23, 1859, Vol. 1 No.16 Notice to Creditors Estate of Nathan KENDRICK, deceased. - Notice is hereby given by the undersigned, administrator of the above-named estate, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against NATHAN KENDRICK, deceased, to exhibit the same, with the necessary vouchers, within ten months, from the first publication of this notice, to the undersigned, at his place of residence, near Half-Moon Bay. D.W. CONNELLY Administrator of the Estate of Nathan Kendrick, deceased San Mateo County, July 21st, 1859 Saltpetre is found in the mountains in the neighborhood of Jones' on the Los Gatos creek, between Santa Cruz and Santa Clara. Some of the globules or crystals, were collected and taken to Santa Clara, and underwent a chemical process by one of the professors of the University of the Pacific, and the true character of the mineral was determined. MARINE NEWS Arrived July 19 - Schr J.P. Haven, Lewis, fm San Francisco, ….. Schr Emily, Manix, fm San Francisco, ….

Sloop Julia, Hanson, 25,000 feet lumber, 20,000 shingles for San Francisco, … Sloop Sarah Ann, Crikardt, 3000 posts for Stockton DREADFUL AFFRAY - A most unfortunate affair took place neat the San Francisquito Creek, about three miles above its intersection by the county road, on Tuesday last. The affray occurred in a harvest-field, where three brother LANGDON were engaged thrashing. A man named COLLINS interfered with or did something to the thrashing machine with which the others were employed, and was told to desist, harsh words were exchanged, and after some altercation, COLLINS went away, but shortly returned, when, after more altercation, blows were exchanged, and a fight ensued, which resulted in COLLINS being severely wounded, apparently with a knife, in the head, back and abdomen. It was supposed, immediately after the occurrence, that COLLINS could not survived his wounds, but it is now thought he may recover. We are of the opinion that had there been no liquor drank by the parties the affray would not have occurred. CASULTY - On Tuesday evening last, Mr. Charles STEVENS was severely injured by a thrashing machine, while at work in the field of BRONSON & Co., near this place. The labor for the day was finished, and the horses were stopped, but the cylinder was still revolving with great speed, when Mr. S., in attempting to step upon the edge of the opening through which the grain is fed to the machine, place his foot upon some straw, which caused him to slip, and he fell with his left foot against the cylinder, the teeth of which lacerated it in a shocking manner. A portion of the foot will necessarily be amputated. By a presence of mind very unusual under the circumstances, Mr. S. sprung at the moment of failing, so as to throw his body somewhat away from the cylinder, otherwise he probably have lost his entire leg, and perhaps his life. CONSTABLES In the case of the People vs. PRIOR, tried a short time since in the Court of Sessions, the question arose as to whether the party to whom resistance was made while engaged in the service of process, was an officer within the meaning of the Statue, and if not, then whether a private person has the right to serve a warrant in a criminal case. These are questions upon which the Court seemed to have serious doubts, and they are, in our opinion, the only questions upon which the case is now hanging. (Lengthy following paragraphs) THE FIRST IMMIGRANTS - The first emigrants By the central route this season, were two young men name SILL and HATHAWAY, who arrived in Placerville on Monday last, in advance of their train. These gentlemen left Chicago this Spring with the intention of going to Pike's Peak, but receiving discouraging accounts from the new Dorado they subsequently concluded to proceed to California. Several Pike's Peakers joined them on the way, and came through with the train. Several of these men were in the gold mines for over a month, and they describe the conditions of the unlucky adventurers as being too dreadful to think of. At the time of their departure from the mines, disappointment and starvation were doing their full work, and men were perishing by the wholesale. STATE CONVICTS RECAPTURED - Two Mexicans named Jesus MENDOSA and Teburzo BASKES, who escaped from the State Prison on the occasion of the last general exodus, have been arrested in Stockton for horse stealing. LETTERS OVERLAND - The Overland Mail stage, which left San Francisco on the 19th inst., for St. Louis and Memphis, carried away two thousand and twenty-six letters. SALT LAKE TRAINS - On Saturday last, about a dozen fine mule-teams, with substantial road-wagons, arrived at Placerville from Salt Lake City. The Observer says these teams are the property of Mr. CHRISMAN, of Salt Lake, and came through for the express purpose of obtaining freight at Sacramento. This train made the trip through from the Mormon city in about thirty days. This with heavy wagons, is very fair time, but the stock does not appear in the least jaded or otherwise injured by the trip. The train did not halt in the city, but taking the road to the lower crossing of Webber Creek, immediately rolled on towards Sacramento. THE FIRST MAIL EVER CARRIED UP THE SACRAMENTO - It will be ten years the 24th of the present months, says the Martinez Gazette, since the first mail was taken up the Sacramento river from San Francisco. It was carried by Capt. Seth M. SWAIN, of Martinez, in the schooner John Dunlap. The mail matter was all contained in one bag, and Capt. SWAIN received six hundred dollars for the service, while the entire postage on the contents of the mail amounted to less than sixty dollars.

J.W. ACKERSON Sheriff San Mateo County COURT OF SESSIONS - The People vs. C. PRIOR, for injuring jail, demurrer to indictment sustained on the ground that the facts charged do not constitute a public offence, within the meaning of the Statute, relative to breaking jail. The People vs. C. PRIOR, for resisting an officer - verdict of guilty, with recommendation to mercy. Motions for new trial and in arrest of judgment were made, and taken under advisement until 17th of August. The People vs. E.A. ROWE, for perjury - indictment quashed on the ground that it was prematurely found, the civil suit in which the alleged perjury was committed being still pending. Court adjourned to 17th August. SONS OF TEMPERANCE - Very much to our regret, we inadvertently omitted to notice in our last the installation of officers for the present quarter, of Mountain Dell Division No. 74, S. of T. On the 2d. inst., the following officers were installed: J.D. ROSE, W.O., L. WILLIAMS, W.A.; Wm. LASWELL, R.S.; J.S. BOLLINGER, A.R.S.; John LAWRENCE, F.S.; L. SAMPSON, T.; D. SAMPSON, C.; Thos. BEEBE, A.C.; A. KENT, I.S.; A. TEAGUE, O.S.; and Joseph EMERY, Chaplain. The Dashaways appear to be the popular Temperance organization just now in the large cities, and are doing much good. Here we have no such institution, but slowly and surely this Division is advancing in the good cause its members have espoused, and in the vicinity of Woodside, where it is located, its influence is very perceptibly felt. COUNTY COURT - In the case of the People vs. Job RICHARDS, appealed to this Court, the judgment of the Court below was confirmed.

    1. San Mateo Great Registers
    2. Marina Cole
    3. Hi All, I'm looking for the San Mateo Great Registers for 1927-1941. Does anyone know if they are accessible in San Mateo County? I know that the State Library has them, and it looks like Bancroft does too (but they are closed for the summer). I haven't been able to locate any copies locally. Thanks, marina

    3. San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, July 9, 1859, Vol. 1 No.141 SHIPMENT OF TREASURE - The amount shipped by the steamer Golden Gate on the 6th was $2,255,184.47. MARINE NEWS Arrived July 1st - Sloop Julia, Hanson, fm San Francisco July 5 - Schr Taffie, Rodger, fm San Francisco July 6 - Schr Harp, Hendrikson, fm San Francisco July 2 - Schr Harriet K., Kelsey, fm San Francisco July 6 - Sloop Julia, Hanson, fm San Francisco Sailed July 1 - Sloop Vigilance, P.

Harp, Hendrikson for San Francisco July 7 - Sloop Julia, Hanson, 60,000 shingles, for San Francisco POISONED - On Saturday last, a child of P. LEATHERS, of this place, was for some hours, thought to be in extreme danger from the effects of poison, having drank a portion of the contents of a vessel containing fly poison which was placed on a table to destroy flies. Timely medical assistance, however, prevented serious consequences. REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY To the Honorable the Court of Sessions of the County of San Mateo, State of California, for the July term of said Court, for the year 1859 We, the undersigned Grand Jurors, would respectfully submit the follow report: That we have found five bills of indictment, one of which is for the crime of murder, the others for lesser offences. In the case of the people against Andres ROW, now in the county jail, we find from the papers that there was but one witness on the part of the prosecution; that no recognizance for the appearance of that witness was taken by the committing magistrate; that a subpoena has been duly issued for him, and that the officer has been unable to serve the same. The consequence is that no evidence in that case has been submitted to us - we have therefore been compelled to dismiss the charge. In the case of the People against Charles PRIOR, wherein he has been held to answer upon a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, the prosecuting witness, Henry DIAMOND, has failed to appear, notwithstanding he has been duly subpoenaed for that purpose. We have though best to dismiss that charge also, and recommend to your Honors that the witness be brought into court and punished for contempt in refusing to obey the order of the subpoena. ….. J.W. TURNER, Foreman A. TEAGUE, Clerk Redwood City, July 7, 1859 THE BIGGEST LOAD YET - Mr. William M. WAVER hauled last Monday week, from the top of Redwood mountain to Redwood City, in one load, seventy thousand shingles. This is, we learn, nearly ten thousand shingles more than has ever before been hauled to this place in a single load. COUNTY COURT - There was no business in this Court except to appears in criminal cases from Justice's Court. In the case of the People vs. Chas. PRIOR, submitted on appeal, judgment was affirmed. People vs Job RICHARDS - motion to dismiss appeal still undetermined. Court adjourned till Monday next. LUMBER - A very large quantity of lumber is now accumulating on the wharves of the various lumber dealers in this place. All descriptions of it are selling at very low prices, with the ordinary amount of shipments and the usual demand at this season of the year. Rough lumber, shingles, posts, etc., are all being disposed of at very low rates. Now is the time to build cheaply. SHOOTING IN SAN FRANCISCO - A man named Derrick was shot in the arm in San Francisco on the night of the 5th, during a firemen's row, reported to have been commenced by NUTTMAN and HOSSEFROS, two eminent fire-gentlemen. FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO - About half-past four o'clock on the afternoon of the 5th inst., a fire occurred in San Francisco, which consumed ten or twelve buildings. Loss estimated at about $15,1000. It originated in a sailors' boarding-house corner Broadway and Davis streets. A sailor named PRUNELLO was burned to death, and others, who are missing are supposed to have met a similar fate. A number of firemen were injured, some of them seriously. HOMOCIDES - There were eight deaths by violence in this State on the first three days of the present month - so published. MURDER AT OAKLAND - Mr. David Lester was shot and killed at Oakland, about one o'clock Monday morning, by a Mexican and a Portuguese, named Peralta and Miguel. Mr. L. had lost a hose, and went over to a fandango opposite the Pavilion at Oakland to lost amongst the horses which had brought their riders to the frolic to see if he could find the lost animal. On attempting to identify a horse as his own these men shot him, three balls entering his body, killing him almost instantly. The excitement among the citizens was very great, and it was with great difficulty the sheriff prevented the murderers from being lynched. They were finally conveyed to San Leandro jail. - Telegram ANOTHER FIRE IN OROVILLE - A fire broke out in that portion of Oroville known as Chinatown about one o'clock on Monday morning. Some twenty buildings were entirely consumed of which four or five were occupied as stores. The flames spread so rapidly that nothing could be saved. The loss is between $18,000 and $20,000. Part of the burnt district has been ravaged three times within a year. Most of the buildings were occupied by Chinese, many of them being houses of ill-fame. The fire was prevented from spreading by the exertions of "Melican" men, the Chinese, as usual, not knowing what to do. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WEAVERVILLE - A dispatch dated Weaverville, July 5th, to the Bulletin, says: "A fire broke out this morning in a house occupied by Chinamen, and spreading rapidly, destroyed one-third of the town before it could be extinguished. The St. Charles Hotel and the California Stage Company's office are burned. James Dow & Co., have confessed judgment in San Francisco, in favor of creditors to the amount of $28,868.48. The ship Challenger, which arrived in San Francisco on Saturday from China, brought 350 Chinese. To see other old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php

The result was that on Wednesday he lost about three hundred dollars worth of hay by fire, and came near losing his house and all his grain at the same time. The whole face of the country is as combustible as gun-cotton at this time, and persons cannot be two (sic) careful in using fire, or anything which can create fire. Only a few days since a large field of wheat in Santa Clara county was burned up by means of a box of matches which some traveler had dropped by the wayside. SCHOOL - The next term of the Redwood City School will commence on Tuesday the 5th instant. SABBATH SCHOOL LIBRARY - Who ever knew the ladies to fail in anything they undertook? Two weeks ago they took it into their heads that a library was needed for the Sabbath School at this place. The result was that forthwith every gentleman in town, without regard to the degree or depth of his piety, was called upon by a fair visitor to whose importunities he could not say nay - and on Sunday last, when the children came into school, they were greeted with a handsome library of two hundred and eighty-five volumes, nicely arranged in a very respectable bookcase provided for the purpose. Much pains were taken in the selection of these books, and we are pleased to see that while they are all, as they should be, of a religious nature, none of them are sectarian in character. FIRE - By the San Francisco papers, we learned, after our last issue had gone to press, that the residence of Alfred WHEELER Esq., at San Mateo was destroyed by fire on Monday week. Since then we are informed that not only the house, but the barn, which was a very valuable one, was lost, with most of the contents of both. The fire originated in the barn, but how, is unknown. ANOTHER FIRE - We learn that Greer's Mill, formerly known as the Whipple Mill was destroyed by fire on Saturday last. The machinery had lately been taken out and removed, so that but little damage was sustained beyond the loss of the building. Some parties were engaged near by in burning brush, and from this the fire communicated to the mill. UNION CEMETERY GROUNDS - Geo. E. ERSKINE, Esq., the contractor, and Capt. BEAL, are now busily engaged in putting a good and substantial fence around these grounds, and very soon the Cemetery will be fully enclosed, when it will at once be staked off, and the lots ready for distribution and sale. FATAL STABBING AFFAIR - Two neighbors Geo. F. WYMAN and Nathan KENDRICK, living near the Purissimo in this county, on Tuesday evening last, got into a difficulty about some hogs, which resulted in the death of KENDRICK, who received a stab from WYMAN with a knife, in the region of the left breast. WYMAN immediately came over and delivered himself up. An inquest was held by Coroner McCLURE, on Wednesday, which resulting in finding that deceased was aged about twenty-eight years, was formerly from Kentucky, and that he came to his death by means of a wound inflicted by WYMAN. WYMAN was taken before Justice CROOK, where he waived an examination, and was admitted to bail in the sum of two thousand dollars. Most of the evidence against him is his own statement, which goes to show that the deed was done in self-defence. LAUNCH - We understand arrangements have been made to launch the new sloop, built at San Mateo, on the evening on the fourth. A party will be given by the proprietors on the occasion, and a jolly time is anticipated. ANOTHER STAMPEDE On Saturday last another desperate stampede took place at the State Prison. Forty-two prisoners made their escape, but ten of them were either killed or wounded, and brought back. We have no comments to make upon this wholesale escape. Occurrences like this have become so common of late at that institution, that they speak for themselves. We think however it is best not to send any prisoners up there. It is only a waste of money in having them conveyed to San Quentin, only to get back again before the officers who had them in charge. …… POPULATION OF SAN FRANCISO - Langley's new Directory, just issued, gives the population of the city as 78,083, divided thus: white males, 49,343; white females, 23,985; Chinese males, 2,560; Chinese females, 590; colored males 745; colored females 531; colored children under five year, 329. - Farmer HOME SUMMARY The town of Tehama was almost entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday morning last. The loss is estimated at one hundred thousand dollars. Three persons were severely injured, and a house burned down in Sacramento, on Friday night of last week, by carelessness in filling a spirit lamp. A line of stages has been established between Los Angeles and San Diego. The schooner Junette went ashore at "Arroya del Burro: near Santa Barbara, on the night of the 17th. The company recently organized at Red Bluff to "clean out" the Indians, started for the scene of their operations on Wednesday. The Beacon says they expect to put in two or three months' time and thinks that the Indians will be cleaned out. It is stated that very rich mines, of silver and gold have been discovered in San Luis Obispo county. The silver is said to be found almost pure; the gold-bearing quartz is said to be exceedingly rich. A fire occurred at Bidwell's Bar, Feather river, one night last week, destroying property to the value of $15,000. Mr. BENDLE was the principle sufferer. Almost all the late papers from the interior bring intelligence of the death of one or more persons in their locality from sunstroke. OFF FOR ITALY - We understand Alex. GARBI, Esq., our present County Surveyor, and the democratic nominee for re-election, sails on the next steamer for New York, and thence to Italy. He is an Italian by birth, and goes out as the accredited agent of the Italians in San Francisco, to bear to the King of Sardinia an assurance of the sympathies of this loyal subjects on this coast, and to present on their behalf, a magnificent sword which has been prepared for the purpose. But we cannot believe that it is solely as their agent that he goes. To see other old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php

The attendance was very large and the greatest food feeling and enthusiasm prevailed. The meeting was organized by the election of Wm. LUNDGOEDOC President, J.Q.A. TILTON, Vice-President, and J.P. AMES, Secretary. The Convention was addressed by Judge FOX and Judge MAXON after which the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That J.P. AMES and Judge MAXON be appointed to represent the Anti-Lecompton Democracy of San Mateo in the State Convention to be holden at Sacramento on the 15th of June. Resolved That J.Q.A. TILTON, B.F. FOX, James G. DENNISON, John JOHNSON, A. ECKRENKOTTER, W.C. CROOKS and Wm. LAUGUEDOC be appointed to act as a County Central Committee. Resolved That the County Convention to nominate candidates for county officers be held at the school house in San Mateo, on the 11th of July next. Resolved That the proceeding of this meeting be published in the Daily San Francisco News and the San Mateo Gazette. Wm. LONGUEDOC, Pres't J.P. Ames, Sec'y MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTS - John F. MURRY, from county Down, Ireland, lately in the employ of J.A. ROBINSON, near Half-moon Bay, in this county, who had been missing for a week previously, was found dead, on Monday last, by some laborers, in the neighborhood of the Purissima, on the bank of a creek, with his head lying in the water. He had left home on Tuesday week, with his gun, on a hunting excursion, and having, it appears, shot a bird, was climbing up the bank to get it, when the remaining barrel of the gun discharged, the contents entering his right eye, killing him instantly. On Saturday last, near Dennis Martin's in the Redwoods, a young lad by the name of McELHANY, was also killed by the accidental discharge of his gun, while climbing a fence. We have been unable to get full particulars in this latter case. These cases of accidental death furnish sad commentaries on the want of proper care in the handling of fire-arms. LEFT HIS BONDSMAN IN THE LURCH - Dave TOBIN, the man who shot at NOSSLER about two months ago on the corner of Montgomery and Washington streets, and who was placed under bonds of $2000 (given by Mr. TRAVERS) to appear and answer the charge of assault with a deadly weapon, slipt off on the last steamer, and left his bondsman in the lurch. FIRE AT BIDWELL'S BAR - A fire, supposed to be the work of an incendiary, broke out in a stable at Bidwell's Bar, about two o'clock on the morning of the 18th, and before it could be arrested consumed some eight or ten buildings and their contents. Seven horses were burned, four belonging to the California Stage Company. J.C. CRAWFORD lost two horses and one mule, and a horse belonging to some travelers. The heaviest loss is on Mr. BENDLE, who lost his store, dwelling house and their contents. Probable loss, $8000. One or two unoccupied buildings, and four or five miners' cabins, were also burned. The fire spread so rapidly that there was no opportunity to save anything, but by the exertion of the citizens it was prevented from crossing the streets. The Union Hotel very narrowly escaped, as it is badly scorched. The total loss is from $12,000 to $15,000. ANGELO - The San Jose Tribune says that Charles A. ANGELO, who is in jail at Victoria, V.I., on a charge of embezzling $10,000 while in the Custom House at that place, was formerly the proprietor of the Angelo House, on the San Jose and San Francisco road. SERIOUS AND PROBABLY FATAL AFFRAY - At Jesus Maria, says the Mokelumn Hill Chronicle, a heavy fight occurred. It appears that Stephen PANIA, a Chileno, came down the street, at the time laboring under excitement, there being a warrant for his arrest in the hands of an officer for assault and battery, swearing that no officer should take him for such an offence; at the same time approaching very near where a quiet citizen by the name of Renaldo CATALDO, was standing in conversation with some other gentlemen, when, on the instant, PANIA drew his revolver and commenced firing at CATALDO, the first shot cutting the skin on the back of his neck. CATALDO, being unarmed; immediately retreated out seeing a friend armed, seized the pistol and defended himself. At this time the melee became general, there were some thirty shots fired by the parties engaged, and strange to say, that but one is likely to prove fatal, and that was a shot fired by Mr. CATALDO. PANIA, the man who made this unprovoked attack, received the wound, from which there is no hope of recovery. To see other old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php

I am wondering if anyone out there has seen any of them or heard of him? I never knew him so I only know what I've been told. I would appreciate anything that you could tell me about him or his paintings.He died in June of 1967. He lived in the bay area and his wife, Dorothy, was a Nurse. Thank you. Louise

To take place in the COURT-HOUSE, REDWOOD CITY On MONDAY EVENING, JULY 4th, 1859 A Grand Ball will be given in the Town Hall, at the Court-house, Redwood City, on Monday evening, July 4th, 1859, in honor of the Anniversary of our National Independence. No effort will be spared to render the festivities in every way worthy of the occasion. Committee of Arrangements: Wm. Callaghan J.M.P. Fessenden J.W. Vanderoef Chas. A. Perkins Reception Committee: D.A. Foulkes Wm. Maxfield Gen. La Pierre A.W. Hunt W.A. Clark Benjamin Fox E. Norris Wm. Brockway Floor Managers W.C.R. Smith E. Graves A. Bronson Rufus Murphy PARRISH'S COTILLION BAND Is engaged for the occasion TICKERS FIVE DOLLARS A Supper will be served up during the evening IMPORTANT DECISION - INTERESTING TO SETTLERS - Judge HOFFMAN has delivered an opinion in the United States District Court, in the case of Bartolome BAJOROGNEZ, on a review of the survey, which settles a most important principle of practice under the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Fossatt Case, make it the duty of the District Court "to review, confirm, or modify the survey's of the Surveyor-General of Lands confirmed to the claimants by the decree of this Court." By the opinion of the Court, we learn that all parties deriving title from the claimant, to whom the land has been confirmed, may, upon the question of the approval of the survey of the Court, intervene by filing therein their objections. Thus, inferentially, no other parties save the United States and the claimant of his assigns can take any part in such proceeding; and the settler desiring to contest a survey, the lines of which embrace his pre-emption, can only do so through the United States District Attorney. MURDER AND REWARD - On last Tuesday, says the Tehama Gazette, two men called on us, and informed us that on Wednesday, the 25th of May, a man known by the name of John JENKINS, committed a most cold blooded murder in Indian Valley, Plumas county, by shooting a person named McCARLY, while he was engaged in plowing, from behind a ditch. It appears that there had been some quarreling between the two during the previous day, and that JENKINS had come off second best, and had gone off breathing threats of killing his opponent, which he did, as related above, and then fled, though hotly pursued. A reward of $1000 was made up by the citizens of the Valley, and will be paid down on the delivery of Jenkins in that place. The men from whom we derived our information were on the track of a person who answered the murderer's description, in some particulars; but upon being overhauled, he proved not to be the individual they were after. Mr. McLAUGHLIN, for some time Deputy Sheriff of Butte county, asserts that JENKINS' description identifies him as one "Hinny," a notorious thief who broke jail in Oroville in the winter of 1857. RAILROAD - At a meeting of the citizens of Auburn, Placer county, held for the purpose of taking measures for the construction of a railroad from Auburn to Folsom, to connect with Sacramento, a committee was appointed, who have since reported in favor of the organization of a company with a capital stock of $850,000 to be issued in shares of one hundred dollars each, so that it will be within the reach of any man to take stock who desires to do so. The committee estimate that $800,000 per annum is paid to teamsters in Placer county for freights. DEFALCATION - S.P. FAIR, Sheriff of Siskiyou, is a defaulter, to the county he had the honor to serve, to the amount of $60,000. He had absconded with the funds, leaving his sureties disconsolate.

CROPS - We are informed that the grain crop throughout this and Santa Clara counties will this year turn out remarkably fine, and will not be excelled in the State. In some fields, however, a somewhat strange blight has fallen upon portions of the grain, and where, too, it would seem to be most sheltered. Its effect is to deaden, and deprive of the grain, about a half-inch of the top of each head. Its cause is not yet fully determined. Hay is remarkably good, no better crop having been made in a number of years. It is being shipped off very fast, and there is no doubt that hay will command a high price this Fall. AUCTION SALE Of American Cattle! On Friday July 1st, I will sell at public auction, at my residence, one mile south of Redwood City, near the San Jose road, my entire Stock of Horned Cattle consisting of Eighteen American Cows and Calves; Eighteen two-year old heifers; Twenty yearling steer; One American Bull John McAVOY To see other old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php

    3. San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, June 4, 1859, Vol. 1 No.9 MARRIED At Alviso, Almeda county, on the 31st, ult., by. P.P. Young, J.P., Mr. William JOHNSON to Miss Mary Jane HILL, all of Woodside. HOME SUMMARY On the 31st, ult., forty men, armed and equipped left, San Francisco for Petaluma, in company with the sheriff of Sonoma county, to be used as a posse in aiding that officer to place the owners of the Bodega grant in possession of their property, a patent having lately issued in their favor. It is expected that force will be necessary to eject the settlers, and if so, that blood will be shed. The posse were all armed with guns, revolvers, etc. The news from the seat of war is said, by the San Francisco papers, to be awaited with much anxiety. A chase after two of the escaped convicts, supposed to be GALLAGHER and LAWRENCE, was had near San Francisco a few days ago, without success, by the sheriff and others. They were last seen on the sea shore, evidently making their way towards the south. It will be well for our citizens to be on the watch for them, as they are almost certain to pass through this county, if not soon arrested. The society of "Dashaways," in San Francisco, is increasing rapidly in numbers, and is said to be doing a great deal of good in restraining the intemperate, etc. It is said two more of the escaped convicts have been arrested, near Napa. A horrible murder was lately committed in Contra Costa county. A man named MOHR cut his partner's head open with a scythe. The victim's wife witnessed the deed, but could not prevent it. No reason is given for the act. The Call has just commenced its sixth volume. Its proprietors are justly proud of its success. It is a good paper, and must be extensively patronized while conducted as it now is. The Mormon imbroglio bids fair to be speedily and permanently settled. It appears that Brigham Young has submitted a proposition to a company of capitalists to sell all their right, title, and interest to Utah Territory, for a reasonable sum of money, and to leave the Territory within a specified time. The contract for carrying the mail from New Orleans to San Francisco via Nicaragua, was awarded to Daniel H. JOHNSON, of New York for $162.000. The contract is for nine months, from the first of October, and requires a semi-monthly service. ** IMPROVEMENT - J.V. DILLER, esq., has commenced the erection, opposite his old location, of a substantial, fire-proof brick building, thirty-five by seventy-five feet, intended for a store. ODD-FELLOWS - The members of this benevolent institution met last Sunday in this place, and made preliminary arrangements for the speedy organization of a Lodge of the Order, to be located in Redwood City. MARINE - We this week commence the publication of the arrivals and departures of vessels at this port, which we shall continue hereafter. The reports are furnished by Master Jerome TURNER. This new feature of our paper will have a tendency to still further illustrate the business and facilities of out community. MARINE NEWS Arrived May 28 - Schr Harp, Warren, 4 hrs from San Francisco, mdse. May 30 - Sloop Julia, Hanson, 4 hours from San Francisco, lime and laths. May 31 - Sloop Red Fish, Johnson, 5 hours from San Francisco June 1 - Schr Emily, Maine, 18 hours from Benica, Sloop Caroline, Hughes, 3 ½ hours from San Francisco, fencing, mdse. June 2 - Schr Angelena, Baker; Schr Harp, Warren; Sloop Roman, Mine, grain, ice, etc. Sailed May 31 - Sloop P.A. Owens, Brooks, for Stockton F. and A.M. Members of the Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, desirous of joining in the organization of a Lodge of the Order to be established in Redwood City, are requested to meet in the Courthouse on Sunday, June 12th, 1859, for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements. LETTER FROM WOODSIDE Woodside, May 31, 1859 Taking it for granted that an occasional communication from Woodside would be acceptable, and having looked in vain throughout your paper to find a correspondence from someone, at least, of the many literary gentlemen in this thriving section of the county, I have concluded to fill up the gap myself, hoping to elicit thereby a better epistle from some of my more capable neighbors. Woodside might properly be called a halfway place - that is, it is about half-way from the Redwoods to your city; and being situated at the foot of the Redwood mountains, it is perforce the stopping place for numbers of teamsters - who, on alternate days, make their trips from this place to the Redwoods and to Redwood City. The principal occupations here are farming and teaming. Our "settlement consists (in the vicinity of Woodside) of about thirty families, besides the usual quantum of the "balance". The teamsters of this section, who may be truthfully termed the "bone and sinew" of the community, deserve especial notice, as they are remarkable for their industry and also as good members of society; I notice that a number of young men in this occupation are wealthy, although they still continue to drive their own teams - the very best indication of their permanent prosperity. We have numerous boarding houses here, where all who desire it can be accommodated with "the best the market affords." We also have a store, where the public are furnished with almost any article they desire. An excellent school is here, of about thirty-five regular scholars, including young men, who are studying some of the higher branches of learning . Our library, which I believe is the only one of its kind in the county, is a very popular and useful institution, and consist of about two hundred volumes. According to the report of the President, at the last regular meeting, there were taken out during the three months ending March 31st, 1859, one hundred and eighty-four volumes, of which forty-three were biographies, thirty-six travels and voyages, twenty-nine histories, twenty-six scientific, twenty-six useful knowledge, nine poetry, and nine were fiction, etc. This will give a very good idea of the literary taste and acquirements of our community - a people who read such works as those enumerated above, cannot but be intelligent. The Division of the Sons of Temperance at this place, numbers about eighty members, and is in a very health condition. Divine service is had once a week regularly, and frequently oftener. The view from the spot where I am sitting while writing this, is truly grand. Before me, towering towards the blue heavens, their summits partly obscured by fleecy clouds; and stretching far to the southward are the Redwood mountains, their rugged sides clothed abundantly with the timber from which they derive their name; while skirting their base lie fertile valleys dotted here and there with rich fields of golden cereals, the farmer's pride and wealth. Upon the mountain side, appearing occasionally between the clustered trees, may be seen the roads winding down the precipitous slopes to the valley below. The danger hourly encountered by the teams upon these heights, is only known to those who experience them - it cannot be realized by others - with a load of, say fifty thousand shingles, or its equal in weight of other freight, should an accident occur, a lock-chain break, for instance, instant destruction overtakes wagon, oxen, load, and perhaps, unless very watchful, the driver also. I will now close, promising more anon. Yours, MARLINSPIKE To see other old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php
