ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1871. That Proclamation. The original of a vile card, lately published in the Los Angeles News as an advertisement, by four well-known enemies of the Gazette, is in our possession. Since its receipt by us, the following named persons who had signed it, and whose names were printed with it in the News, have voluntarily called upon us and personally erased their names: J. C. Hill, H. Boege, Gustaye Rust, A. W. Steinhart and R. Menzel. The above mentioned document will be in our possession until Saturday the 13th instant, and should any other signers wish to erase their names, we will cheerfully afford them an opportunity. THE EDITOR. Our Attitude. The Gazette was started upon the belief that a good local paper, independent in tone, would be successful, and pay its publisher; and that belief is still entertained. To be neutral is to be nothing; therefore it never was intended to be neutral—but "independent and outspoken." To be violently partisan, is not independence; and, therefore, it was not intended to be that. The local feature of the paper—which was to be its paramount feature—was, and still is, the aim of the publisher. We have not escaped the difficulties Persona: T. D.

To be neutral is to be nothing; therefore it never was intended to be neutral—but "independent and outspoken." To be violently partisan, is not independence; and, therefore, it was not intended to be that. The local feature of the paper—which was to be its paramount feature—was, and still is, the aim of the publisher. We have not escaped the difficulties and trials common to newspapers in their earlier days, but our efforts have been constant and earnest to carry out the ideas upon which our paper is based, and how well our ideas and efforts have been appreciated, may be judged by our patronage. So far, we have not advocated the interests of either the Democratic or Republican party, or said much about politics except to advise the selection of good men for candidates at the late election. We were in favor of an independent local ticket to be made up by the people, with good names upon it from top to bottom, and a State and county ticket of the same kind, made up in the same way, would receive our hearty support. Communication. ANAHEIM, May 2d, 1871. EDITOR GAZETTE. — Our Municipal Election which took place Monday, May 1st, passed off peaceably, be it said to our credit as a law abiding community, and quietly—if we except an occasional tilt at words between opposing canvassers, or particular friends of opposing candidates. You, sir, was not before this voting public as a candidate for the office of City Attorney until the morning of election, and to have triumphed over those who, by devious means and tortuous ways, essayed your downfall the week previous, is triumph enough in one day for any man. Bury the hatchet—forgive your enemies and those who have despitefully used you, and endeavor henceforth to prove by the conduct and management of the paper, to those who have followed blind leaders, that, as heretofore, you still intend to fully carry out the promises Mr. T. E. Schmidt is fine brick addition to his dence on Center street. Mr. Hefner has put up evidence for his family in house of Mr. F. W. Atheo. Mr. J. Westphal has put upon his place of business enclosed his lot with picket fence. The front of the hall store of Mr. J. Bennerson painted during the week. The frame house of being built. J. W. Clark has planted sorghum sugar cane. Real Estate Traffic James F. Barham of Ana, and J. M. Bush, M. Watson, three thousand acres in Serrano tr. G. W. Barter, to Alber in Santa Ana for $100. T. E. Schmidt to N. on Center street, for $25. John M. Bush and other Squires; 400 acres, Rancho Santa Ana, $1 and other. E. W. and Louisa Squires; 400 acres (same). Wm. Davis to L.

Distillers are reminded day of May of each year having in his, or her Still, or Stilling aparatus the same with the Assessor of the Internal Revenue which they reside, "for use," as the owner after a Still has been re-1st of May, as "not for owner may desire to use by re-registering and g required by law. W. K. Superior Stock.—Among the many notable productions for which Anaheim is so justly celebrated, her vigorous and intelligent children may well be classed. In one instance, a healthy mother of eleven living children, has among them one specimen of scarce fifteen years, who can show as fine whiskers and moustache as most men at twenty-five. He is five feet eight inches in height, and weighs 140 pounds. We challenge competition. Early Grapes.—We have seen a vine, at the vineyard of Mr. Rimpau, which contains forty-two branches of grapes. They are far enough advanced, to bid defiance to grashoppers. San Diego vs Sandy Ague.—We publish to day on our first page an amusing item about our neighboring City, San Diego. We hope our friend Truman will not wax angry thereat. Personal. Mr. D. Mott, Esq., and lady, of Los Angeles, passed several days in Ana-holiday this week, visiting relations and acquaintances. Mr. Rector, the woolen manufacturer former owner of the large factory Brooklyn, Alameda County, is visit-ing the cotton plantation of Col Strong. Mr. Fergurson, of Fergurson & Baker, Los Angeles, was in town on Friday and Tuesday last, accompanied Mr. Wm. Reynolds. On Tuesday last, we noticed Mr. L. Ober, of Los Angeles, upon our visits. Ms. Williams, wife of D. K. Williams, died from Oakland on the last Sunday. Senior Don Pablo Pryor, of Capis-salem, is passing a few days in town. Mr. C. Wylie, Esq., under Sheriff of County, was in town yesterday. A. L. Bush, of Santa Ana, dropped on us on Thursday last. Geo. O Tiffany, the U.S. Gauger, died in town yesterday. Improvements. Mr. Calisher is erecting a common store-house in rear of his store. Structure is 15x25 feet. This looks an increase in business. T. E. Schmidt is constructing a brick addition to his present residence on Center street. Hefner has put up a small resi-ble for his family in rear of the house of Mr. F. W. Athearn. J. Westphal has had a new front upon his place of business; and also used his lot with a substantial fence. Santa Ana Correspondence. Santa Ana, May 1, 1871. THE PICT-NIC. The Sunday school of our place, which had invited the Sunday schools of Anaheim and Fairview to join them, celebrated May day, on Saturday last, by a general picnic in the beautiful grove near M. C. Tustin's residence. The parties invited came in season, and after having a good play, in which old and young joined, the meeting was called to order, and several well selec-ed pieces were sung by the young folks; then prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Bennet of Fairview. Next in order was a well timed and impressive lecture delivered by Rev. L. P. Webber of Anaheim. By this time a table was prepared, one hundred and fifty feet long, the ladies literally covering the entire length with almost every imaginable good thing to eat. A blessing having been invoked, the word was given to "pitch in," and great and small, old and young, simultaneously went after the well arranged edibles, in the most ambidextrous manner. Each one having acquitted themselves well at the table, singing and playing occupied the remainder of the time during the day. Over two hundred souls were present, and a more pleasant and satis factory time I never witnessed. Human remains found. Mr. C. Tustin, while digging a well on his farm at Tustin City, found the skeleton of a human being of large size, at a depth of nine feet below the surface. The bones, skull, and espe-cially the teeth, were in a good state of preservation.

A Still has been registered on the 1st of May, as "not for use," and the owner may desire to use it, he can do so by registering and giving a bond as required by law. Ass't. Asses'r. Market Report. Human Remains Found. Mr. C. Tustin, while digging a well on his farm at Tustin City, found the skeleton of a human being of large size, at a depth of nine feet below the surface. The bones, skull, and especially the teeth, were in a good state of preservation. Accident. Theodore Rickert, while digging the above mentioned well, was badly bruised by the caving in of the dirt from the sides. Dr. Hardin was called in, and we understand that the doctor thinks two or three ribs were broken—otherwise not seriously injured, Trustees Election. At the election for school Trustees held on Saturday last, the following were elected: J. J. Johnson, for 3 years; Levi Fickus, for 2 years; C. Tustin, for 1 year. Another Flowing Well. Robert McCullough has struck artesian water at a depth of 32 feet, on his ranch two miles south of town. The water flows five feet above the surface. Mr. H. H. Wakeham commenced sinking an artesian well on Monday last. The well of Porter & McFadden continues to flow to a height of eleven feet with the purest spring water. This latter well was bored with a common 3-inch carpenter's auger, and completed in one day. Wild Mustard. The open plain for ten square miles towards the coast and over the San Juaquin ranch, is covered with a living yellow—the blossom of the thrifty wild mustard. Butter. Messrs. Porter & McFadden are packing their butter for next winter's market. The quality they manufacture is the very finest.

"VENTURA SIGNAL"—We are in receipt of No. 2. of the Ventura Signal, a paper just established at San Buenaventura, by Mr. John H. Bradley. The establishment of this newspaper gives importance to the town of San Buenaventura, and we hope the citizens will give it a cordial support. It is the task—often the thankless task—of newspapers to build up unimportant places; and the intelligent citizens of Buenaventura may rely upon it, that if they support their newspaper, their newspaper will support them and their beautiful little town. Proof Reading.—An exchange very justly and appropriately says: "If the readers of the newspapers understood one half of the difficulties in procuring accuracy, instead of wondering and scolding at mistakes, they would be surprised that there are not more. How few readers appreciate the services of the individual who examines the 'proofs' of a paper before it is printed. He is one of the most important agents to the production of a correct literature, and one of whom no reader seems to think. His is the most thankless of all the employments among men. Let him bring out a paper without a fault for weeks and weeks in succession, and nobody thinks of him. But let him allow an error to go uncorrected, and immediately he is known to be censured and his paper subjected to ill-natured criticisms. He has no thanks for his labored patience, but blame if he is not fautless. He is certain of one of two things—forgetfulness or censure." JOB PRINTING IN EVERY STYLE neatly executed at the Gameroom Job Office Fast Horse. A celebrated California horse called the "Stanford Horse" and which is owned by Leland Stanford, at Sacramento, the other day made the first half mile of a course in 1:07. The last half mile was made in 1:071. It is thought that this horse, which was lately taken from a dray, will make his mile in 2:15, thus beating the famous "Dexter."
