LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Consolidated. We give below a copy of the agreement entered into between the Anaheim Water Company and the North Anaheim Canal Company. It is certainly to be hoped that the consolidation will result in "preventing dissension, arising from rivalry and in being more able to defend the rights and privileges concerning the use of the water." It is certainly more preferable to enter into an amicable arrangement, like this, than to indulge in an annoying and expensive law suit. THE AGREEMENT. This agreement made and entered into this twenty first day of April, A.D., one thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine days before the date of publication. Caught.—On Monday last, Constable J. D. Byrd arrested José Apodan on a charge of burglary, in entering the drug store of Dr. Higgins, and taking therefrom some money and perfumery. In the trial, which took place in Judge Kohler's Court, Dr. W. M. Higgins testified that the prisoner had been at work for him; that on the night of Tuesday, April 15th, his store was entered, and that a subsequent examination showed that some small change had been taken from the till, and some perfumery from the shelves. The bottles that had been in the possession of the prisoner were shown to the Doctor and he thought they were the same that had been stolen. Merced Soto, a little girl about 11 years old, testified that the prisoner had given her a bottle of perfumery and that she divided it with Ella and Lotta Brown. Miss Ella Brown testified that the girl Soto told her that the prisoner had given her two or three bottles of perfumery, and some hair oil. Also, that she had received from the girl Soto some of the perfumery. Lotta Brown corroborated her sisters evidence. Constable Byrd testified to having found two empty perfume bottles in Mrs. Brown's house, and had found a bottle nearly full of yellowish looking perfume at the house where the prisoner lived. This agreement made and entered into this twenty first day of April, A. D. one thousand eight hundred and seventy three between the Anaheim Water Company and the North Anaheim Canal Company both companies legally incorporated and enjoying each certain rights to the use of the flowing waters of the Santa Ana river, in this county of Los Angeles and State of California. Witnesseth: That for the sake of preventing dissension, arising from rivalry, and for the sake of properly defending rights and privileges concerning the use of such waters, the two above named companies have mutually agreed, one with the other, to be governed until the first day of January A. D. 1874 by the following agreement. Firstly—The whole body of water obtained from the Santa Ana river, to run into the Anaheim Water Co's ditch, to the crossing of said Anaheim Water Company's ditch, with the ditch of the North Anaheim Canal Company. Secondly—The necessary junction gates to be constructed and kept in repair by the North Anaheim Canal Company; the Anaheim Water Company agreeing to furnish all material necessary therefor at their own expense. Thirdly—Each company agrees to pay one-half of the monthly expenses of keeping the water in the ditch, and in case of a break at the river, to forthwith have such break stopped. Mutually bearing share and share alike, all expenses for work and everything necessary to complete such repairs. Fourthly—An equal division to all water obtainable from the Santa Ana river having been agreed upon on the Anaheim Water Company, whilst fully binding itself thereto under ordinary circumstances, re- Also, that she had received from the girl Soto some of the perfumery. Lotta Brown corroborated her sisters evidence. Constable Byrd testified to having found two empty perfume bottles in Mrs. Brown's house, and had found a bottle nearly full of yellowish looking perfume at the house where the prisoner lived. The prisoner vehemently denied having stolen the articles, and said he had bought them. The Court thought differently, and sent the prisoner to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, fixing his bail at $250. A Rich Mine.—Several months ago, a number of gentlemen formed an association for the purpose of developing a silver mine which had been discovered in Arlington District, San Bernardino county, about one hundred miles from Anaheim. The association is known as the Virginia Mining Company of Anaheim," and the gentlemen composing it; are J. E. Bryan, John Bush, Jonathan Watson, W. N. Hardin, J. D. Ott, Oscar George, G. L. and D. G. Chilson. The two last named are now at the mine and report that they are at work on a ledge two and one-half feet thick, and are down thirty feet. A specimen of the rock which they are now taking out, has been subjected to a rough test, and has been found to contain nearly eleven hundred dollars to the ton. Some of the rock first taken out was sent to San Francisco, and on being assayed was found to contain four hundred dollars to the ton. Mr. J. E. Bryan during a late visit to San Francisco was fortunate enough to awaken the interest of several capitalists of that city, and they have consented to come and make a thorough examination of the mine. Should their critical judgment be satisfied as to its richness, active steps will be immediately taken to erect furnaces, and everything necessary to its speedy and complete development. If the "Captain soon, we will be engaging Walter Colfax, or we should assist us in Miss D. C. M were thrown from turning from Day Day. They were jured.

Mr. Brodrick in town last Sunday visit from this week, would be accompanied by special agent and in case of a break at the river, to forthwith have such break stopped. Mutually bearing share and share alike, all expenses for work and everything necessary to complete such repairs. Fourthly—An equal division to all water obtainable from the Santa Ana river having been agreed upon on the Anaheim Water Company, whilst fully binding itself thereto under ordinary circumstances, reserves to itself in case of scarcity of water, to be first entitled to so much water as it has been the privilege of using previous to the appropriation of water by the North Anaheim Canal Company, in time of such scarcity. Fifthly—It is expressly understood, that none of the foregoing clauses, shall for any cause, or under any pretext whatever be so construed as to injure, impair, or annull any rights and privileges either company may have acquired by virtue of its original charter of incorporation. In witness whereof the presiding officers of both companies, acting under the full knowledge and consent of the trustees of said companies, have hereunto set their respective hands and seals, at Anaheim, this 21st day of April, A. D., 1873. John P. Zeyn, President Anaheim Water Co. Fred. A. Korn, Secretary Anaheim Water Co. Wm. Kern, Pres. North Anaheim Canal Co. J. B. Raine, Seo'y North Anaheim Canal Co. Signed and sealed in presence of John Fischer. A Happy Man. — In consideration of his noble qualities of head and heart, and his preeminent abilities in the profession which he adorns, our chief Anaheim lawyer has been the recipient of a handsome gold chain, from an equally distinguished legal gentleman of Los Angeles. The esteem in which he is held, can be judged by the fact, that he has at various times, been presented with a Greeley hat, a penknife, a pair of square-toed shoes, and a paper collar. It is needless to say that he is truly happy in the possession of those useful articles of apparel, and if anything could add to that happiness it would be the gift of a discarded toothpick. A Rumor. — It is rumored that Mr. P. Davis, of the well known firm of Davis & Bro., has purchased an estate on the banks of the Rhine (in Germany) for $500,000, and is about to go from our gaze. It is also rumored that he has acquired his immense fortune by purchasing wool. We assert without fear of contradiction, that his advertisement which will be found in another column, has contributed not a little to his financial success. An innocent in one of the Anaheim was deeply engaged in front of Hen store.

We would call attention to the card of Mrs. Flora Eldridge, in this issue. Messrs. G. C. Knox, Ed. Miles, and Antonio Yorba have gone on a trip to Julian. Paul Rickman was thrown from his horse last Tuesday, and sustained a painful injury on his wrist. Somebody that we could mention had better buy some of that soap advertised in this issue, and wash himself. If the “Captain” don’t come back soon, we will be under the necessity of engaging Whitelaw Reid, Schuyler Colfax, or some other Bohemian to assist us in our arduous labor. Miss D. C. Marquis and her sister were thrown from a buggy while returning from Los Angeles last Monday. They were not seriously injured. On last Monday morning about five o’clock, the Overland Monthly for May.—This literary product of our far western country always has an exceedingly inviting appearance, and for one feature of its make-up we must record it great credit—it never disappoints us in its “devotion to the development of the country.” The opening article in this number gives a detailed and interesting account of the gold deposits on the coast of California and Oregon, which the writer predicts will yet add its quota to the immense metalliferous yield of the Pacific Coast. “Oregon Twenty-five Years Ago,” is a scrap of personal history for which every one should commend this publication in rescuing from oblivion. “Only an Episode” is a touching California sketch, just the opposite of the one that follows, by Prentice Mulford, entitled “Buster,” the latter touching a large class of mining investors in quite a different sense of the word. Mrs Yelverton supplies a very readable article under the title of “Borneo Cinnabar Mines.” The opening interview with “One of the Argonauts of '49” lands him in San Francisco, and in future papers we are promised graphic descriptions of early times in the metropolis of the West. Other articles are “Cousin Geoffry;” “Arab Stories and Traditions down the Nile;” “Within Four Walls,” by Charles W. Stoddard; “The Third Napoleon,” and the eighth installment of “Ultrawa.” Joaquin Another Ditch Company Santa Ana and Tustin Company has been incorporated W. A. Abbott; W. H. S.; A. T. Bates; C.

Miss D. C. Marquis and her sister were thrown from a buggy while returning from Los Angeles last Monday. They were not seriously injured. On last Monday morning about five o'clock, a slight shock of earthquake was felt in Anaheim. A shock was felt at the Mission about nine o'clock the same morning. By a sudden movement of the horse Miss Fischer was riding, she was thrown off. By a sudden movement of Miss Fischer she got on him again. No injuries. To-day is the 54th anniversary of the introduction of Odd Fellows in the United States. The members of Anaheim Lodge celebrate the day by a picnic. The subscribers to the street-sprinkling fund, are requested to meet on Monday evening next at Clark's Book Store for the purpose of making all the necessary arrangements. For the past two weeks we have been engaged in a futile attempt to find out the name of the lady John Nimmo, of Santa Ana, married. We have concluded not to mention the circumstance at all. We had the honor of an introduction to Prof. H. N. Bolander, State Supt. of Public Schools, who spent a couple of days in town last week. He is a genial gentleman, of rare conversational powers and fond of cracking a joke occasionally. A letter addressed to B. Foy & Co., New York, is detained at the Anaheim P. O. for lack of the necessary stamp. An envelope directed to Edmond G. Watkins, Linden, San Joaquin Co., is also detained, the sender having forgot to enclose any letter. Mr. Brodrick of Los Angeles was in town last Sunday. To record a visit from this gentleman every week, would be a pleasure. He was accompanied by Mr. Henry Smith, special agent and adjuster of the with "One of the Argonauts of '49" lands him in San Francisco, and in future papers we are promised graphic descriptions of early times in the metropolis of the West. Other articles are "Cousin Geoffry;" "Arab Stories and Traditions down the Nile;" "Within Four Walls," by Charles W. Stoddard; "The Third Napoleon," and the eighth installment of "Ultrawa." Joaquin Miller contributes a poem entitled "Shadows of Shasta," and Mrs. Wood "Mutations." The "Ete." gives attention to the Modoc massacre, and "Current Literature" is full and varied. John H. Carmany & Co., Publishers, 409 Washington Street, San Francisco. School Examinations. — The school fund being exhausted, the Public Schools closed yesterday. Examinations were held in the Grammar school on Thursday and Friday. As the term closed a month sooner than was expected, no special preparation had been made by the teachers for the examinations. Yet notwithstanding this, the examinations were creditable to both teachers and pupils. The pupils of the Grammar school were examined in Reading, Arithmetic, Grammar, Physiology, History, Geography and Algebra. Their prompt and ready answers to difficult questions showed a thorough training in the studies taught. The examinations in the primary school were held Friday afternoon. Miss Marquis has every reason to be proud of her school. A brighter and more wide awake set of little boys and girls we have seldom, if ever, seen congregated in one school room. The public school will not open again until about the middle of August, giving three months and a half vacation. A private school will be opened Monday, May 5th, in the Grammar School Building, by Mr. Guinn. It will be made up of pupils from both departments. THE STIGMATA.—One of our little Anaheim girls came home from school the other day, and complained of her wrists feeling sore and Mr. Brodrick of Los Angeles was in town last Sunday. To record a visit from this gentleman every week, would be a pleasure. He was accompanied by Mr. Henry Smith, special agent and adjuster of the Liverpool, London and Globe Insurance Company. The ladies are collecting funds for the church building, and are going to Los Angeles on a collecting tour in a few days. The well known liberality of the denizens of that burgh induces us to believe that they will respond generously for this worthy object.* The adjective Mrs. Wilton has been the recipient of a benefit from the San Diegans. In calling her the "adjective Mrs. Wilton," we mean no disrespect. Charming, ravishing, liquante etc., have been so often used in writing of her lately, that we prefer to embody them in some comprehensive word. An innocent young man, residing in one of the rural districts near Anaheim was seen the other day, deeply engaged in reading a poster in front of Heimann and George's store. "15000 orange, lemon and lime trees for sale," was the announcement on the poster. After reading it two or three times to be certain he was correct, he turned to a bystander, and with look of astonishment on his rural face, remarked that "it was the first time he knew that lime grew on trees; he had always supposed that it was dug out of the ground." The Stigmata.—One of our little Anaheim girls came home from school the other day, and complained of her wrists feeling sore and itchy. An examination revealed a large red spot on each wrist, and on a more rigid scrutiny being made, the same phenomena was found on each of her little ankles. It was thought that a first-class miracle was about to be perpetrated, but a practical old woman who happened to be in the room, suggested that they were flea bites. Unfortunately such was found to be the case, and on a prompt application of ten cents worth of candy, the girl so far recovered as to be able to skip the rope for a quarter of a mile. Anaheim fleas are particularly savage at this time of the year. Prolific.—Mr. W. R. Olden has shown us a bead of rye, measuring ten and one-half inches in length. This specimen is from the ranch of Mr. Walby, who has a volunteer crop of rye coming up in the field in which he planted barley this year. Quick Work.—The Steamer Gypsy, laden with oil ete, arrived at Anaheim Landing on Saturday last at 3:30 p.m. A lighter was loaded and at the dock at 5:30, just two hours after the arrival of the steamer. OTHER DITCH COMPANY.—The Ana and Tustin City Ditch Company has been incorporated. Names of the incorporators are: A. Abbott; W. H. Spurgeon; T. Bates; C. Tustin; J. P. Johnson; J. Dunlap; G. L. Russell. Officers of the Company are W. Abbott President; A. T. Bates President; John Dunlap Secretary and Treasurer. They propose to take the water from the Santa River, at a point about two miles above the head of the mouth of Chapman ditch. When combined it will be about fifteen miles. SLANDER CASE.—The sensitive case of Mr. Joe Levy was terribly dated last Sunday. Augustine applied some very severe opium to him, and intimated that took what wasn't his'n. Mr. placed the matter in the hands of Mr. G. G. Johnson. It finally compromised, and full action given upon applicationendant by plaintiff's counsel.
