ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1871. SOUTH PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The South Pacific Railroad bill has not yet quite passed; but everything looks favorable. A little amendment was tacked on to it in the House, and it will go back to the Senate for concurrence. Wheeler, Chairman of the committee, put on the amendment, which changes some of the corporators, and the name of the company to South Pacific Railroad Company. It also reduces the capital from 100 to 50 millions. It provides for a single trunk line from a point on the eastern boundary of Texas, at or near Marshall, to a ship channel in the bay of San Diego, California, on the 32d parallel, north latitude. Senate bill provided for five foot gauge. Amendment proposes a uniform gauge. After a debate, the main question was ordered and the amendment agreed to—ayes 134, nays 70. LOST MAIL.—Mr. Charles Wright informed us, yesterday, that a stage, mail and horses, went down, while crossing one of the rivers between Gilroy and Los Angeles. The driver and passengers barely escaped with their lives, and no hopes are entertained of recovering the lost mails and team. NEW STEAMERS.—We understand that P. Donahoe, of San Francisco, has two splendid 15-knot steamers on the stocks, to be put on the lower coast trade when completed. They will be suitable for carrying stock, or anything else, and will soon crowd off the rotten, incommodious steamers, now running from San Francisco to San Diego. A Lift for the Simmer. A theory was recently advanced in our pulpit, which, though not new, must be astonishing to him who will give it a serious thought. The minister was arguing upon his hearers the necessity of obedience to the divine will, and, to illustrate the argument, related a touching story of a gentleman who had purchased a home for his family, the cost of which was sufficient to absorb all of his worldly means. In process of time, it transpired that the property was covered by an old mortgage, the existence of which had not been made known to the purchaser, and which swept the place entirely away from its new posseer, leaving him penniless. So far, our sympathies are certainly enlisted with the unfortunate loser, though we cannot fail to condemn such inexcusable carelessness as is shown in purchasing real property without looking at the title, especially when one's whole wealth is risked in the venture, and a family of loved ones depend upon it for a home. But mark the astounding moral which is drawn from the rascally fraud of the grantor! The transaction is held up to a wondering congregation as a dispensation of Divine Providence, and the suffering victim of the swindle represented as bowing his head meekly to the blow, saying that the Lord had taken his property from him, and that he would submit unmurmuringly to the decree. Now, this is the one notable point of the whole argument: the idea that the Lord takes that which we lose, and that therefore the swindler who defrauds us, must be the tool of Providence in working out a providential end. Is it consistent with our ideas of Divinity, that God would rob us? that He would steal from us? that He would cheat us in a NEW STEAMERS.—We understand that P.

NEW GROCERY — A new grocery store is being erected at Santa Ana. BRIDGE — A new bridge and flood is being built by the Water Company, over the main zanja, west of the City. The ditch along there has been much improved, and suitable sluice gates have been constructed. EXODUS.—A large number of our citizens have gone to San Francisco on a spree. REAL ESTATE. Following are some of the late real estate transactions in Anaheim and vicinity: J. O. Nash to L. E. Smith, ten acres in Los Angeles county, for $250. W. Bradford to L. E. Smith, lot in Anaheim, for $450. T. E. Schmidt, lot on Center street 75 by 75, to Mr. J Bennorschneidt, for $250. J Keller, lot on Los Angeles street 45 by 122 to W. M. Hubbard, for $300. W. H.

Spurgeon to Christopher Doty, three lots in Santa Ana, for $60. J P Collins, to J M Gibson, ten acres, west of Angheim, for $500. J Keller, to G W Barter, lot on Los Angeles street, 45 by 122 for $250. DOUBTFUL.—On our first page we print a lengthy article on the improvements possible at Anaheim Landing, and the benefit which would result therefrom to the interior cities and towns: we clipped it from the San his property from him, and that he would submit unmurmuringly to the decree Now, this is the one notable point of the whole argument: the idea that the Lord takes that which we lose, and that therefore the swindler who defrauds us, must be the tool of Providence in working out a providential end. Is it consistent with our ideas of Divinity, that God would rob us? that He would steal from us? that He would cheat us in a trade? And yet we must believe that He at least uses human agencies to do these things, if we credit this monstrous theory that the Lord takes our property Then he likewise incites the gambler, the prostitute, the thief and the murderer, to ply their unholy callings for the scourging of humanity, and these various agents of crime are to be regarded as peculiar ornaments of society in working out these great ends—as especially favored by Divine Providence, in being the Chosen Ones to accomplish His mysterious ways. John Smith. VICE PRESIDENT.—William Temple, Esq., of Los Angeles, son of F. P. F. Temple, Esq., has been elected Vice President of the Wide Awake Base Ball Club of Oakland. Mr. Temple is a law student in San Francisco, but resides at Oakland with his brother T. W. Temple, Esq., a student in the University. William also belongs to the first six of the first nine which is about to play for the Champion bat with the Eagle Club of Oakland. MARRIED. CLARK-CASWELL.—On Monday morning, February 20, 1871, by the Rev. J. B Gray, at the residence of the bride's parents, at Los Angeles, Mr. John T. Clark, of Norwich, Conn., to Miss Ma-mie F. Caswell, of Los Angeles. The reception was to have taken place at the Grand Hotel, San Francisco, on Thursday evening last, on account of the large number of friends of the bride residing in that city—her former home; but, owing to the storm, causing a delay of the steamer in which the couple were to sail from San Pedro, it was probably, per necessity, postponed. The bride is the only daughter of S. B. Caswell. Esq., of the firm of Cas- J P Collins, to J M Gibson, ten acres west of Angheim, for $500. J Keller, to G W Barter, lot on Los Angeles street, 45 by 122 for $250. Doubtful.—On our first page we print a lengthy article on the improvements possible at Anaheim Landing, and the benefit which would result therefrom to the interior cities and towns; we clipped it from the San Diego Vaion. While we endorse it all, we cannot but wonder at the wonderful interest the San Diego papers are taking in Anaheim Landing. While praising our Landing, they hit Wilmington a dig in the ribs, and thereby probably hope to grind some San Diego axe in Congress. However, we like to hear the San Diegans tell the truth (which they seldom do) although it is told with a monstrous motive. Pasturage.—Fine pasturage is offered on the ranch of Mr. John Hanna. Storm.—A fearful storm raged in San Francisco during the late rain, several houses were blown down, and lives were lost. The shipping in the harbor was badly damaged. Rumor.—There is a rumor extant that Chas. R. Johnson, Esq., will vacate the office of Agent of the Anaheim Lighter Company on the 1st of March. Meeting.—The members of the Pickwick Club are requested to be present at the rooms of F Langenberger, Esq., at 8 o'clock this evening. To Ler.—Nice rooms for rent at Mr. McKinnie's on Center street.
