SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1871 Suspended.—Our enterprising fellow citizens, Mason Mitchell & Gibson, have been obliged, by high water, to temporarily withdraw their stage coach from the Wilmington route. The stage came up from Wilmington for the last time on Thursday last, after vainly waiting for the California, (which was due Wednesday morning, but has not yet arrived.) Mr. Mitchell reports the road as covered with water knee deep for a great portion of the way, and he was 8 hours coming up, with an empty coach. Kind Encouragement.—We have just been advised by Mr. C. B. Polhemus, of Santa Clara, that the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company at a late meeting, instructed its Trustee, Mr. Alfred Robinson, to subscribe for five copies of the Southern Californian. It has generally been said that corporations have no souls, but we believe that a company which shows so generous an appreciation of the efforts of the local press not only has a soul but possesses also a good substantial set of brains. Personal—Douglas Gunn, Esq., the able editor of the San Diego Union passed through town on Saturday last on his way home. Mr. G. was, we believe, an officer of the City Guards San Francisco, at a time when we had the honor of training, as high private, in that company. We have shouldered arms and drank champagne under the same flag, and we feel for our brother of the Union a stronger bond of fraternal fellowship than even that great professional tie that binds all editors together. Common Council Proceeding REGULAR SESSION, DEC. 26, 1871 The Council met at 8 p.m. Present, Mason Champlin, B Davis, Buttner and President Zeyn. The minutes of last meeting were and approved. A communication was received from the Mayor, returning Ordinance No. witout his signature. The veto of Mayor was unanimously sustained. On motion of Mr. Champlin, the Attorney was requested to draw up another Ordinance, removing therein objection raised by his Honor, the Mayor. Mr. Gardner delivered to the Common Council the law books ordered, on motion they were accepted. The Finance Committee reported, with their approval, the following bills, which were ordered paid: Heimann & George $60 43; P. Davis & Bro., $2 50; Melrose, $100; Crook & Sullivan, $3; Bennerscheidt, $1 62; P. A. Clark, $3; A. Kobler, $3. The Finance Committee was granted further time to report on reports officers, and bill of City Marshal. President Zeyn reported the buckets and hooks and ladders ready to be delivered over to the Fire Company, on motion he was instructed to do so and take his receipt for the same. The following bills were received as referred to the Finance Committee: Abram Brookbank, $22; Crook & Sullivan, $33; Brodrick & Reilly, $11 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN, $4. A petition was received from citizen and taxpayers of Anaheim, requesting the Common Council to order an election for the purpose of ascertaining the wof of the people to donate or not to the Anaheim Railway Company bonds. on his way home. Mr. G. was, we believe, an officer of the City Guards San Francisco, at a time when we had the honor of training, as high private, in that company. We have shouldered arms and drank champagne under the same flag, and we feel for our brother of the Union a stronger bond of fraternal fellowship than even that great professional tie that binds all editors together. Celluloid.—This new material, a composition of collodion and gum camphor now being extensively introduced as a base for artificial teeth, is used by Dr. Haslett in his dental work. "Celluloid" is stronger and much lighter than rubber and is not influenced by the fluids of the mouth during a life time. It contains no mercury as does rubber, and is perfectly free from all injurious effects. INSTALLATION.—The officers elect of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. & A. M., were duly installed with appropriate ceremonies on Wednesday evening last, being the anniversary of the birth of St. John, the Evangelist. The evening was appropriately terminated by a supper at the Planter's Hotel, to which the members of the Lodge were invited by Theo Reiser, the new W. M. COMING BACK.—It is one of the happiest results of the late rains, that many of our friends, engaged in sheep raising, who had been obliged to leave, to seek other pastures for their flocks, are now returning and will abide with us again. We have had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. C. B. Rawson, who has just arrived from San Diego County. S. D. & L. A. R. R. Co.—The article on our outside this week, concerning the operation of this Company is of great interest to us. The route, passing through Anaheim, will be surveyed next month, also a route for a branch from Anaheim to San Bernardino. Our fellow townmen Messrs Knox and Rumble, are of the surveying party. POSTPONED.—Owing to the inclementy of the weather, the lecture which was to have been delivered last Sabbath by Mr. J. M. Howe, is postponed until on motion he was instructed to do so and take his receipt for the same. The following bills were received and referred to the Finance Committee: Abram Brookbank, $22; Crook & Sulvan, $33; Brodrick & Reilly, $11; SOUTHERN CALIFORNTIAN, $4. A petition was received from citizens and taxpayers of Anaheim, requesting the Common Council to order an election for the purpose of ascertaining the number of the people to donate or not to the Anaheim Railway Company bonds to the amount of $15,000, payable in twenty years, bearing 7 per cent interest per annum, and to be issued when the road is completed. After a lengthy discussion on motion of Mr. Champlin, the City Attorney was requested to draw up and present at next meeting, an act in compliance with said petition, but with some modifications, to be submitted to the Legislature. On motion the former petition of the Railway Company was laid on the table. The Common Council then adjourned to Monday, January 8, 1872. THEODORE RIMPAU, Clerk. The Assembly have voted to repeal the Litigant Act and it is to be hoped that the Senate have before this concurred in the movement. This will prove a great blessing to the community in general and force those newspapers which now fatten on the extortions authorized by that Act, to live hereafter, if they live at all, in a legitimate business way, and in an honest, fair competition for the public patronage. RAIN.—We have had plenty of rain at last and every-body is happy. The rainfall at Anaheim now measures 5½ inches this season. At Mr. Olden's ranch the fall was not quite so large, the difference being caused it is supposed by the trees at Anaheim. CHRISTMAS.—Passed merrily, and was most heartily enjoyed by all. All were happy at receiving the rain, and so pleasant a holiday has not been seen for years at Anaheim. Want of space precludes any extended notice of the various festivities. RETURNED.—Mr. Gustave Davis, of the old established house of Phillip Davis & Bro., has returned from an extended tour through Northern California and New York. interest to us. The route, passing through Anaheim, will be surveyed next month, also a route for a branch from Anaheim to San Bernardino. Our fellow townmen, Messrs Knox and Rumble, are of the surveying party. Postponed.—Owing to the inclementy of the weather, the lecture which was to have been delivered last Sabbath by Mr. J. M. Howe, is postponed until to-morrow, 31st inst., when Mr. H. will address the people of Anaheim at the school house at 3 o'clock p.m. upon the subject, "What is a child." "The Texas Pacific."—A private letter from San Diego states that telegrams have been received there from the head quarters of the T. P. R. R. Company to the effect that work on this road would positively be commenced at San Diego during the month of February next. Ball at Gallatin.—A New Year's Ball for the benefit of Silver School District is to be given at Silver District school house on Monday, January, 1st. Our citizens will find this a very opportune occasion to pay a friendly visit to our neighbors of Los Nietos. We acknowledge receipt of an invitation.

Murray Morrison, died at Los Angeles on the 24th inst., only 5 days after her husband's decease.
