Southern California SATURDAY... AUG. 2, 1872 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Dedication of the Richland School-house. Richland has covered herself with glory, in the splendid dedication of her new school house, on Thursday last. She did it in a style which reflects infinite credit upon the public spirit and liberality of her citizens, and has made the day a notable one in nor history—a day "worthy to be marked with a white stone." At half past two P.M., a large audience having assembled, Capt. W. T. Glennell was chosen to act as President of the day, Mr. E. R. Nichols officiating as Master of Ceremonies. THE DEDICATORY ADDRESS. After the singing of "America," by the choir, and an instrumental solo, the "Prize Banner Quickstep," by Miss Martha Tustin, W. M. McFadden Esq., County Superintendent of Public Schools, delivered the Dedicatory Address. This we had intended to report quite fully, and took notes for that purpose, but we find our space grown so short that we can only say that it was an able effort, and did full justice to that gentleman's reputation as a pleasant and sensible speaker. His remarks embodied many valuable suggestions, which the speaker's long service in the cause of education eminently qualified him for making, and were filled with a instan- Suicide. The dead body of a man was found last Saturday 27th ult., by Messrs. D. A. Higgins and S. R. White in an old, deserted house known as the "Serrano House," about 20 miles southeast of here, on the main road to Capistrano. The body was inside the building, in a sitting posture, and leaning with its face against the wall; with a bullet-hole through the center of the forehead. A Co's navy six-shooter was in the left hand, all loaded except one chamber, and everything indicates that the deceased deliberately killed himself. He was a laborer, but was not in indigent circumstances, having on his person, $9 65. besides a certificate of deposit of $180, with some deductions, from the firm of Heimann & George. The body was brought to Anaheim, and an inquest held by acting-Coroner Clark resulting in the following verdict. The deceased had been known here, and was paralized in the right arm. He was a laboring man: VERDICT. We, the undersigned, the jurors summoned to appear before J. W. Clark, acting Coroner of Anaheim on the 28th day of July, 1872, to enquire into the cause of the death of I. B. Sibas, found dead about 20 miles south of Anaheim, in an old adobe house known by the name of "Serrano house," on the evening of the 27th inst., about 5 o'clock P.M., having been duly sworn according to law, and hearing the testimony adjuduced after inspection of the body, Vicenta Yorkbea, all that land rancho house or deceased; and situated on San Angeles county.

His remarks embodied many valuable suggestions, which the speaker's long service in the cause of education eminently qualified him for making, and were filled with a just appreciation of the importance of the occasion. He paid a beautiful and glowing tribute to the climatic superiority of our favored region, as "the land where the rose opens its petals with the earliest tulip and the latest dahlia; where the annuals become perennial and the perennial an evergreen; where the Christmas is as green as May-day; where the winter wheat of one year becomes the spring wheat of the next; where the rocks contain their auriferous deposits and the rivers roll down their golden nuggets; where nature moulds caves, cataracts and chasms in most poetic mood; where the luxuriant day of the tropics, merged into the cool night of the temperate zone, makes the outgoing of the morning and the evening to rejoice." On the conclusion of Mr. McFadden's remarks, several other vocal and instrumental pieces of music were given, after which the company were invited to an excellent supper, spread under the arbors out doors. Here were all the luxuries of the season; strawberries and the earliest fruits, coffee, tea, cakes and pastries, chicken—everything for a delicious meal, and all without charge, but perfectly free to all. A dance closed the pleasures of the day, after which all retired in good order. AN EXPLANATION.—The following communication best explains itself. ED. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN.—I have been informed that my remarks on the 4th of July have been sadly misunderstood. I did not feel in the least like saying anything to hurt the feelings of any foreign born citizen. But, when called on, I ever Clark, acting Coroner of Anaheim on the 28th day of July, 1872, to enquire into the cause of the death of I. B. Sibas, found dead about 20 miles south of Anaheim, in an old adobe house known by the name of "Serrano house," on the evening of the 27th inst., about 5 o'clock P.M., having been duly sworn according to law, and hearing the testimony adjudicated after inspection of the body, upon our oaths each and all do say: That we find the deceased was named I. B. Sibas, supposed to be a Canadian by birth, aged about 30 years: that he came to death by a pistol-shot, fired by his own hand. All of which we duly certify by this inquisition in writing by us signed, this 29th day of July, 1872. JOHN FISCHER, Foreman, E A. PULLEN, TIMM BOEGE, PETER RICHARDS, JASON SMITH, S. RANDALL. ILLNESS OF MR. BEANE.—Chas. E. Beane Esq., Editor of the Los Angeles News, took a large quantity of morphine last Saturday, as the News informs us to relieve pain under which he was suffering, and to induce sleep. The dose was so large (enough for 200 ordinary doses) that Mr. B. was nearly killed, and was only saved by the action of an electric battery. The patient was considered out of danger at last accounts. CAMP MEETING.—Rev. Mr. Leihy, of Tustin City, hands us the following notice: "A camp-meeting will be held in the Santiago Cañon, about one mile above Mr. Squires', commencing on Wednesday, Aug. 7th. All who desire the prosperity of the cause of Christ are affectionately invited to attend. I. M. LEIHY Pastor M. E. Church. CATHOLIC SERVICE.—Catholic service will be held in the Catholic church in Anaheim on Sunday, 25th inst., at a quarter past 9 A.M. Announcements of Catholic services here will henceforth be made regularly through this paper, and long thereby sentenced. Justice of the Peace proposition, as well false. First, of the Peace hated men to the city of Los Angeles editor of a Los Angeles take sentence to any properly sentenced jail. The Star les would honor the prisoner her Angeles take this from her "leading"—its none of our RAILROAD FREE—A communicator gales Star calls fact that the gee under which the Railroad Co. incurs unlawful for such more than ten ceilers passenger, and fin for each ton of the company be receive less than 25 of freight for any every transgression, the company the party suffer in the entire amount so charged. EXCITEMENT AT RANCH.—We leave tract of land adjourned on the east, whosupposed to be ww.of the San Joaquincently been discovered government land,and sively "squatted" claims, aggregating having been taken. ANOTHER WELCOM completion of a come to be quite rence at Westminster Putney bored or Crittenden,and Thursday morning good stream flow AN EXPLANATION.—The following communication best explains itself. ED. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN.—I have been informed that my remarks on the 4th of July have been sadly misunderstood. I did not feel in the least like saying anything to hurt the feelings of any foreign born citizen. But, when called on, I ever endeavor to plead for equal rights. No taxation without representation; all just governments obtain their power by the consent of the governed; Man found his right of protest in his own power of self-government—was what I wished to impress upon the minds of those present. And feeling that they needed a little mirthfulness, I read the following verses [The verses are too long for our space—many of our readers remember them—Ed.] to show how the much vexed Woman question looked from the different stand-points of individuals; they were not my ideas, by any means. MRS. K. PARKER. PROBATE MATTERS.—Wednesday, July 31—In the matter of the estate Charles F. Lehman, deceased; order appointing day for probate of will, John Fischer and Richard Heimann filed applications for letters testamentary, and Monday, the 18th day of August, 1872, at 11 A.M. has been set for approving the will. A.A. Wilson Esq., was appointed guardian ad litem for the minor hours.—News. CATHOLIC SERVICE.—Catholic service will be held in the Catholic church in Anaheim on Sunday, 25th inst., at a quarter past 9 A.M. Announcements of Catholic services here will henceforth be made regularly through this paper, and long enough beforehand to give timely notice to friends in the country. MR. METCALF'S DWELLING.—The new residence of A. Metcalf Esq., now being built by J.W. Brooks, is a 11-story house, 26 x 32 in size, besides an addition 14 x 16. The elevation is good, being 80 feet in all. The building will contain 11 rooms, and promises to present a very fine appearance, when completed. The greatest proof that the Payne Brose, are the only thorough carriage painters in town is the fact that both of our wagon shops give them their exclusive patronage, for two reasons, first that they do the very best work, and second, because they are always cheaper than any other firm. Col. Thos. A. Scott, President of the Texas Pacific Railroad, said in his late speech at Dallas, Texas, that the work on that road would begin in six weeks, and the entire line be completed to San Diego, on the Pacific within five years. ...

In this regular department which we find it necessary to establish, to refute the oft-recurring falsehoods in the Star, concerning Anaheim, we have to say to that journal that its statement in Tuesday's issue, that a member of the Los Angeles chain-gang "had been improperly placed there by sentence of an Anaheim Justice of the Peace" is an absurd proposition, as well as being entirely false. First, an Anaheim Justice of the Peace has no power to sentence men to the chain-gang of the city of Los Angeles—as the astute editor of a Los Angeles paper ought to know, and secondly; the criminal in question was not improperly sentenced, to any place, but was properly sentenced upon being convicted. RAILROAD FREIGHTS AND FARES —A communication to the Los Angeles Star, calls attention to the fact that the general railroad law, under which the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. incorporated, makes it unlawful for such railroad to charge more than ten cents per mile for each passenger, and fifteen cents per mile for each ton of freight; provided the company be not required to receive less than 25 cents for one lot of freight for any distance, and for every transgression of such limitation, the company shall be liable to the party suffering thereby treble the entire amount of fare or freight so charged. EXCITEMENT AT THE SAN JOAQUIN RANCH. — We learn that a large tract of land adjoining Tustin City on the east, which was formerly supposed to be within the bounds of the San Joaquin Ranch, has recently been discovered to be government land, and has been extensively "squatted" on, at least 100 claims, aggregating 16,000 acres, having been taken up this week. ANOTHER WELL. — The successful completion of artesian wells has come to be quite a common occurrence at Westminster. Mr. A. E Putney bored one for Mr. George Crittenden, and struck water last Thursday morning, at 94 feet. A good stream flows over the top of there by sentence of an Anaheim Justice of the Peace” is an absurd proposition, as well as being entirely false. First, an Anaheim Justice of the Peace has no power to sentence men to the chain-gang of the city of Los Angeles—as the astute editor of a Los Angeles paper ought to know, and secondly; the criminal in question was not improperly sentenced, to any place, but was properly sentenced, upon being convicted of petit larceny, to the county jail. The Star thinks that Los Angeles would honor herself by making the prisoner her next Mayor. It Los Angeles take this as a compliment from her “leading daily,” all right—its none of our business.
