Southern California SATURDAY...AUG. 24. 1872 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER; THE DEDICATION; Westminster dedicated her new school house last Tuesday, 20th inst. We were there, as a matter of course A good speech and a good dinner had been announced, and these are attractions which no healthy editor can resist. Arriving early, we found preparations going actively forward. Estables and drinkables were provided, in quantities that seemed to anticipate a 7-years' famine, and in a variety that rang all the changes from confectionery to roast beef. The people of Westminster were there too, in force, and we thought they regarded with a satisfactory smile our unguarded astonishment at finding so elegant a building in a settlement of a years growth. THE BUILDING Is a wooden structure, inclining to the Corinthian order of architecture, rustic sided, and square roofed, neatly ornamented with brackets, and having grouped windows, which present a beautiful appearance in the artistic style of their arrangement. Its size is 24 x 32, DINNER AND TOASTS. After the regular order of exercises had been gone through, dinner was served, after which the following toasts were proposed by Rev. Mr Webber: Our Infant Colony; we only need Railroads to get us into Transports." Response by W. R Olden. How—e shall we teach the young idea to shoot? Response by Con Howe. The 'good time coming' when school house dedications shall occur every day." Res. by Supt. McFadden. "The bachelors of the Colony, what can be done for them?" Res. by Rev. Mr. Strong. What can be done to press infant colonies? Res. by Ed. S.'N CALIFORNIAN. Our entertainers, their bountiful supply and perfect arrangements remind us by contrast of the Poor house, of which we have to-day a distinguished representative." Res. by Rev. Dr. Poor. SOCIABLE. Most of the company remained through the evening and amused themselves with pleasant games, music, conversation, etc., and the whole party broke up about half past ten. The Trustees of the District are M. B. Craig, Jesse Davis and J. S. Merritt School will be commenced next Monday: Con. Howe, teacher. It is not every school house that begins its career so auspiciously, nor every community whose first educational efforts are crowned with so happy a success as that which has at finding so elegant a building in a settlement of a years growth. THE BUILDING Is a wooden structure, inclining to the Corinthian order of architecture, rustic sided, and square roofed, neatly ornamented with brackets, and having grouped windows, which present a beautiful appearance in the artistic style of their arrangement. Its size is 24 x 32, with a wing 14 x 16. In the wing are the main entrances and toilet rooms. The ceiling is 14 feet high. The building was put up by Deacon P. C. McKinnie, assisted by Mr. S. A. Hawkins. The painting was done by the Payne Bros. The plastering by Peter Griffin. The total cost furnished will be about $1,600. THE LOCATION Is a lot 300 feet square, about 40 reds southeast of Jesse Davis house, which was set apart for the purpose in the original laying out of the town site of Westminster. A public square and church lot were also reserved at the same time. WHO WERE THERE. An assemblage soon gathered, so large that the house was filled, and many left outside. Among those present were: Anaheim.—Judge Evey & fam.; B F E Keliogg & fam; G G Tompkins & fam; Dr Gardiner; Mrs Tarver; B H Bancroft & fam; b A Hawkins & fam.; P C McKinney & lady; Mrs W N Hardin; Miss Beesie Hardin; Rev L P Webber & fam.; David Evey; Tom Boswell; Mr J M Gibson & fam; Byron Clark; Miss Emma Clark; Geor e Greeley; Wm M McFadden & lady; Miss Chapin; Chas G Johnston Esq; A E Putney; Mr & Mrs Olden; W H Hill; W I Rumble; Fred. Langenberger: M Calisher & fam; J M Guinn Esq; Miss D C Marquis. Mr & Mrs Chas A Gardner; Martha Bos well; Dan Cummins. Westminster.—J A Martin & wf.; Jesse Davis & fam; M D Craig & fam; J S Merritt; Rev Dr Poor (of Oakland); Frank Poor; J Y Anderson & lady; Rev J M Mack & lady; Con Howe & fam; Mr Bowley & wf Robt McPherson & fam; Wm McPherson & fam; Stephen McPherson; Mr Rosers & fam; Mr Edwards & fam; Mr H Stephens & fam; John Davis; Mr Danskin & fam; The Messrs Goldworths & families; J McD Mot fatt & fam; Z McChesney & fam; Alvin McDowell; Mr Napier; Mr Lawton & wf Mr Crittenden; Mr Stewart & fam; A John. CHURCH MATTERS.—At the meeting last Sunday, Rev Dr. Poor preached an excellent sermon to a large and appreciative congregation. At the close of the services a "church meeting" was held, for a further consideration of the location of the prospective new church building. The vote was in favor of accepting two lots offered by Heimann & George, and buying for $200 another from Peter Richards, having 30 feet front on Los Angeles. The latter lot will constitute the entrance from the street to the church. The society is to be incorporated, to give it a legal existence. "He Who Fights—and runs away, Lives to fight another Day." Some people seem to do business on this principle, making a great blow for a little while, and then suddenly fizzling out when the steam is gone, like an evaporated soda-bottle. Payne Bross are not that kind of men They propose to make their firm and business one of the permanent institution of Anaheim, and to that end they always do good work, at reasonable prices, and have it done promptly on time. HORSE ACCIDENTS.—A valuable mare belonging to Mr. David Davis died at Mr. J. M. Gibson's ranch Sunday night last, from the effects, it is supposed, of overfeeding. An accident occurred at the Landing, Tuesday afternoon, by which one of Mr. Azbill's horses had his leg broken and was killed. A young stallion got a leg broken at Mr. Hanna's ranch Wednesday evening. COMING.—It is said that Mr. Hyde, whole party broke up about half past ten. The Trustees of the District are M. B. Craig, Jesse Davis and J. S. Merritt School will be commenced next Monday: Con Howe, teacher. It is not every school house that begins its career so suspiciously, nor every community whose first educational efforts are crowned with so happy a success as that which has graced the dedication at Westminster. PROSPECTIVE gentleman here ed and ought t that from 300,000 will be set in the acim, the comi alone calculate 100,000. It is related on one occasion whether he deed put guano on t applied, that peop put guano on t Sunday eating on his. WELL BORN Westminster.—J A Martin & wf; Jesse Davis & fam; M D Craig & fam; J S Merritt; Rev Dr Poor (of Oakland.)

Richland.—E R Nicoles; Mr Huntington; Capt Wm T Glassell. Tustin City.—C Tustin & fam. Anaheim Landing.—J D Ott. EXERCISES. Rev. Dr. Poor delivered the dedicatory address. We have no space to report it, but it was a most happy effort, full of pleasant sayings and sparkling points, one which made his auditors feel sorry when he stopped. He was succeeded by W. M. McFadden Esq., who delivered a short address in which he stated the significant fact that this was the twenty-third school house which had been dedicated during his official term. The closing address was by Rev Mr. Webber, the founder of the Colony and pastor of the Presbyterian Congregation at Anaheim. The choir, consisting of Mr Mo Pherson, Frank Poor, Mrs Bowley, Mrs Anderson and the two Mrs Goldworthys, enlivened the intervals with music, the former lady presiding gracefully and skilfully at the piano. COMING.—It is said that Mr. Hyde, agent of the S. P. R. R. Co., is coming down by to-morrow's str, bringing his family, and engineers to survey and locate the routes for their proposed railroads through this county. He will probably be at Anaheim next week. Tom Scott, of Pennsylvania R. R. fame, is also on the same steamer, bound for San Diego. A HINT.—We are not disposed to be quarrelsome, but we may be allowed to remark that no man who has not subscribed for this paper, and paid for it in advance, has any right to criticize the cut of the editor's whiskers. J. B. Briseno has become part owner of the San Diego World. Mr B., with W. Jeff Gatewood Esq., (editor of the World.) were also instrumental in establishing the San Diego Union. Hor.—It has been tolerably warm this week, remaining away up in the 80's. So salubrious in fact, that even the Devil complains that it was too warm for him. Carr-ramba! hay mucho calor—you bet. THE "ANTI-ARISTOCRATICAL BALL" —The pressure of railroad communications last week prevented our doing full justice to the local item department. A very pleasant ball was held Friday evening 16th inst. at Enterprise Hall, which was well attended, and was a complete success, financially and other wise, for a balance of $16 was left after paying expenses, which was generously donated to the fund of Anaheim School District. Peter Richards provided the supper. Twenty-eight couples were in attendance. The managers were Frank Mielenz, Max Nebelung and A. J. Brown. We acknowledge receipt of a polite invitation to attend, but pressure of business prevented our being there. A GOOD FARMER — Our attention has been called to a crop of corn which has been raised this season by Mr. Wm. Pithian on his farm 24 miles not east of Anaheim, and which is thought to be the best crop raised in this county under similar circumstances. Mr. F's land is comparatively high, being 37 feet above the water of surface wells, and his field of corn 40 acres, raised entirely without irrigation. Will average 60 bushels per acre, a part of it going as high as 100 bushels. Our informant advises others to call upon Mr. F., look at the crop, and learn how it was raised. If any one has done better on high land, we should be glad to hear of it. Following is from the News: IVANPAH, Aug 9 1872. Ed. News: Dear Sir: Henry Miller perished from want of water, which from Sole Lake to An. PRIVATE PARTY — A private party is to be given this evening at the Anaheim Hotel. From the well-known ability of the managers, a good time is anticipated. A surprise party is to come off too, this evening but as we are under bonds to keep the secret, we daren't tell where so — Shoo fly! don't bodder us."

Following is from the News: Ivanpah, Aug 9 1872. Ed. News: Dear Sir: Henry Miller perished from want of water, on his way from Soda Lake to Ava Watts District. Mr. Stanfield, en route for Salt Lake City with his family, was caught in a water spout, eight miles this side of Kingston Spring, and lost his wagon; clothing, provisions, and everything else His family arrived here this morning. Yours, in haste, J. M. Miller. Tarantulas — Harry Polhemus informs us that lately in driving about 8 miles across the hills in a southerly direction from C. L. Strong's residence, he counted 72 tarantulas, in and near the road. Some of these are very large, having a spread, as they stand on their feet of at least four inches, and standing up about one and a half inches high. Nice for picknickers. Saratoga belies are raving because a paper in that place asserts that the prettiest girl in that section is an Indian maiden who sells oead work at the springs. — Exchange Now you see what trouble an editor gets himself into by telling the truth sometimes. Prospective Vineyards. — A gentleman here who is well informed and ought to know, anticipates that from 300,000 to 400,000 vines will be set in the vicinity of Anaheim, the coming season. One man alone calculates to put out a round 100,000. It is related of Mr. Greeley, that on one occasion a farmer asked him whether he deemed it advisable to put guano on potatoes. Hoarge replied, that people who chose might put guano on their potatoes, but for Sunday eating he preferred gravy on his. Well Boring. — One of the great It is related of Mr. Greeley, that on one occasion a farmer asked him whether he deemed it advisable to put guano on potatoes. Hoarse replied, that people who chose might put guano on their potatoes, but for Sunday eating he preferred gravy on his. Well Boring.—One of the greatest advantages to Mr. Putney's apparatus for boring is the doubles lever pressure, by which he is able to force pipe down through quicksand, where other methods fail.
