Southern California. SATURDAY, MARCH 21st, 1872. CHAS. A. GARDNER...E'r & Prop'r To These Who are Seeking Homes. [CONTINUED.] ANAHEIM, March 21st, 1872. EDITOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN: Last week I enumerated a few of our varied productions. Some of these are common to our whole State, but the most profitable and important can only be grown with assured success in this part of the State; of course the latter are semi-tropical in character, and it is the height of folly to attempt their cultivation except in localities where they will be secure from frosts. It is true that there are in the Northern part of the State, certain sheltered spots where delicate plants may be grown, but every few years a severe winter occurs, and then both the hopes of the planter and the plantations are blasted. But we have large districts where the experience of fifty years proves that the climate can be depended upon. Except on low, marshy tracts of land, frosts rarely occur, either in this valley or on the mesa or tablelands intervening between the valley and the hills. When frosts do occur it is usually in mid winter, a time when even delicate plants are able to withstand their effects; at all events they do no harm, for no fruit labor to tend, makes their pot rich. This is a new country but little has been done yet to develop it, but enough has accomplished to show the capacities of the valley. We want in an industrious nation to make our great future reality.

Except on low, marshy tracts of land, frosts rarely occur, either in this valley or on the mesa or tablelands intervening between the valley and the hills. When frosts do occur it is usually in mid winter, a time when even delicate plants are able to withstand their effects; at all events they do no harm, for no fruit trees produce with more certainty than the Orange, Lemon, Lime and Olive. This year has been an average one, and yet the thermometer has not been down to 32° but once this winter, and has only been below 40° seven times. AS A RETREAT FOR INVALIDS Our valley possesses prominent attractions. So far as my knowledge and experience extends, no part of the world can compare with it. Our climate is healthful and delightful, and possesses such an infinite variety of temperatures that everyone can select one adapted to his peculiar constitution and disease. Our prolific soil produces everything to tempt the most fastidious appetites; all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables are grown in never ending succession—there is no season for gardening, or rather, the season lasts the whole year. We have abundance of good wine, and we have what is far more important an un'ailing supply of good water. No part of Southern California can compare with us in this respect. There are many places in this part of the State which possess a very desirable climate but which are entirely deficient of this all important qualification. It is the merest folly for invalids to expect to recover their health whilst they are constantly poisoning themselves with alkaline water. It would be an invidious task to particularize the localities. People are not long in discovering where bad water is to be found. I prefer to tell them where the water is good. Anaheim possesses many recommendations as a residence for invalids. We have two good hotels paper published by the side Co., Chicago.

Addressing Postal Matter The Postal Department voted us with the following lar relative to the care nec- addressing postal matter: POST OFFICE DEP.'T, WASHINGTON, Feb 1, 1879 DEAR SIR:—Owing to the increase in the mails, and th elishment of many new Post throughout the country, this ment finds it necessary, in facilitate the distribution secure a speedy transmission heavy mails now passing, larly over the trunk lines roads, to request of the pub in all cases the name of the their health whilst they are constantly poisoning themselves with alkaline water. It would be an invidious task to particularize the localities. People are not long in discovering where bad water is to be found. I prefer to tell them where the water is good. Anaheim possesses many recommendations as a residence for invalids. We have two good hotels (both new) kept by accommodating landlords, with well furnished rooms and well supplied tables; our streets lined with shade trees, furnish pleasant walks; those who wish to ride will find abundance of good horses and carriages in the livery stables, and good roads in every direction to drive on; our population is particularly orderly and law abiding—we have no mobs nor shooting affrays, and we never hang nor rob China men—our country is filling up with just the right kind of people, and we want a great number more of the same sort. To the industrious man who attends strictly to his own business this section offers great advantages, and a few years of steady and patient effort will secure him a handsome competence. Here he can rest from his labors under his own "vine and fig tree," in a paradise which his own labor has created, his house surrounded and embowered by ever-blooming flowers and trees loaded with the fruits of every elime, whose crops are as unfailing as the changes of seasons that bring them to maturity. The income from a few acres in vine- and fruit trees, requiring but little NEWS ITEMS. A little boy has been killed by the explosion of a mince pie. The pie being surcharged with steam—having no yeast in the crust—exploded, throwing a considerable quantity of the smoldering contents about the little unfortunate's face and neck, burning him so badly as to throw him into convulsions, resulting in death. Figaro argues from this that an Inspector of Minos Pies should be appointed whose duty it would be to examine all such dangerous commodities and test their strength. Figaro wants the position. Good bye, Minos pie if he gets hold of it.

Mr. Kroeger and family have sustained a sad affliction in the loss of this little member of their flock. Little Hermine—just coming up from babyhood into the little girl- era of life—was, as is ever the case in happy households, the pet of the family. The merry crowing, the romp on the floor, the tossing in the arms and the clapping of little hands are among the most delightful of home joys. The perils that ever beset a baby's life have proven too much for her young strength, and she has gone to the loving arms of Him who bath said "Suffer little children to come unto me, and for NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
