SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN. SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1872 Em largement. We have the pleasure of presenting our paper this week in an enlarged form, having added four columns to its size. New material which was ordered some time ago has failed to arrive in season for this issue, and we are forced to make up the paper without several little improvements which we had hoped to have by New Years. However it will all come in time, and we shall gradually be able to make the Southern California a paper that shall be equal to any California journal outside of San Francisco and Sacramento. A NUSANCE.—We have ever been an humble but devoted worshipper at the shrine of Music. No heart yields a readier deference to its subtle powers—no mind more quickly casts away its evey other thought, when the sublime spirit of melody and song is invoked from its mysterious retreat. It was music that gave to Alfieri the plan of his tragedies that nerved the mind of Bacon to his great philosophical works, and gave a solemn inspiration to the poetry of Milton; music that prepared the eloquent speeches of Curran—that animated the heart of David when he danced before Saul, and filled the heart of the preacher Massillon with those terrible phillippics against the Our Efforts AFFRECIATED.—Giving us suppose, to our vigorous exposures of the way in which the Anaheim R. R. Convention was engineered, we have been favored with a note, from Messrs Banning & Co., of Wilmington, disconfirming their advertisement, by which actiton his office loses the magnificent sum of two dollars per month. "Twas ever thus in childhood's hour. We've mean no fondest hopes decay!" Etc., etc., etc. We hope to survive the shock. NOCTURNAL DEPREDATION.—Some bad boys went around town New Year's night, tore down signs and moved all the movable property they could find: carried off a lot of ladders and wooden horses from Mr Broekbank's establishment and did several things which are contrary to the statutes of the State of California. DELAYED MAIL.—The Postmaster estimates that about a ton of mail matters for Anaheim is delayed somewhere here and San Francisco. The stoppage of the mails tells seriously upon the business of the Post Office, few letters except local ones being now mailed. We shall get it all in a heap one of these fine days. FOR CONGRESSMAN.—The new apportionment allows California four members of Congress, instead of three as at present. I am probable that three will be three elected by districts and one at large. On the Revolutions... It was music that gave to Alfieri the plan of his tragedies that nerved the mind of Bacon to his great philosophical works, and gave a solemn inspiration to the poetry of Milton; music that prepared the eloquent speeches of Curran—that animated the heart of David when he danced before Saul, and filled the heart of the preacher Massillon with those terrible phillippics against the sins of the court of France. And yet bearing in mind even all these great evidences of its wonderful efficacy, our soul revolts against any fraudulent imitation of the genuine article. There is a misguided young heathen, located most unpleasantly near to our sanctum, who has, daily and nightly for the last three weeks, at all hours, seasonable and unseasonable, kept up such a constant and inferal din of toy drumming and tin whistling, that we have gnashed our teeth and torn our hair in mental anguish at the infliction. When, on Sabbath day, our thoughts would soar Heavenward, they have been dagged rudely back to Earth by the basest imitation of "Shoo Fly! Don't Bodder me". At the midnight hour, when we would have inclined our mind to a serene contemplation of the political situation, our thoughts have scattered beyond redemption; at the untimely refrain of "Everything is lovely, and the Goose hangs high." We have tried to think of some plan to annihilate him and his music but have not succeeded, thus far. We would drop one of our presses on him, but the floor is too strong to let it fall through. We would have him put in the City Pound, but the Ordinance only provides for four-footed animals. We are not naturally blood-thirsty, but if some great convulsion of Nature should suddenly remove this young bronco from the secrea of his neglectlessness, we should regard it as a most providential interposition in behalf of suffering humanity. Ascricht & Payor—The Star pays a deserved compliment to these gentlemen in a late issue, when it speaks of Anaheim having one of the best meat markets in the state. It FOR CONGRESSMAN—The new apportionment allows California four members of Congress, instead of three as at present. I is probable that three will be three elected by districts and one at large. On the Republican side, Henry Edgerton is already spoken of as a candidate for member at large.—News. IMPASSABLE—The roads throughout the passes in the vicinity of the Santa Barbara mountains, have been literally washed away. A telegraph dispatch to the stage agent here says that it is probable that there will be no mail communication between here and the north for several days.—Star. PEANUTS—Having noticed that some of our farmers were raising peanuts, we copy a lengthy communication on that subject, from one of our most valued exchanges, the Vine land (N. J.) Independent. Some of the suggestions therein contained will doubtless be applicable to this climate. POOR PAPER—We apologize to our readers for the poor quality of the paper upon which a portion of this issue of the Southern California is printed. Our supply from San Francisco failed to arrive in time, and we had to do the best we could at Los Angeles. PERSONAL—Ben. Dreyins Esq. paid us a flying visit on Saturday last, returning however immediately to San Francisco. Mr. Fred W. Athearn has just returned from a five months' absence in San Diego County and Lower California. Glad to see him back. THE “FIRMMAN'S FUND.” This reliable Insurance Company, which has passed safely through the great Chicago ordeal that ruined so many its rivals, is ably represented in this City by Al Steinhart, who will issue policies here upon application. FIRE CO MEETING—An adjourned meeting of the Anaheim Fire Co. tells seriously upon the business of the Post Office few letters except local ones being now mailed. We shall get it all in a heap one of these fine days.

It is certainly a model institution, and far the best that we have ever had. The meat furnished is always of the best quality obtainable in the country, and Mr. Ascroft informs us that he is prepared to supply all country as well as city customers, and contemplates starting a delivery wagon through the country, at an early day. Opposition—An opposition stage made its appearance on Monday last on the Los Angeles route, and has made tri-weekly trips through the week. It is running in what is called the "People's Accommodation Line," and has a fine looking stage and team. We are informed that the line will soon make daily trips probably next week when a time table will be published. Geo. M. Fall, of Los Angeles, is the agent for the line. The Anaheim Hotel—This fine new establishment will be formally opened to the public on the 27th inst., in which occasion a ball will be given by the proprietor Mr. Brommerman is an experienced hotel keeper and will see that a good supper is provided for his guests in that occasion.
