A couple of men who were employed by Mr. Charles Hille in excavating a cellar on his lot on Centre street, found at a depth of six feet from the surface, an Indian mortar, firmly imbedded in the earth. It is of greystone, weighs about fifteen pounds, and exactly resembles those in which the Indians pound up their maize. It was split exactly through the centre, but so neatly was it joined together, that this was only discovered on lifting it out of the bed, where perchance it had lain for a thousand years. While gazing at the documentary fossil no impala go up to "Goldy's" and bring the beer down, a proposition to which the dear friend gladly acceded. Having thus a clear field, he turned his attention to his prize, and with a palpitating heart and a sharp pick, dug it out of its long resting place, only to find it—what it was. GRAND LARCENY. On Tuesday last, Constable J. D. Byrd arrested Antonio Morrillo, on a charge of grand larceny, preferred against him by W. II. McDowell. On his examination before Judge Kobler the following testimony was elicited: W. II. McDowell, the complain ing witness, testified that he lives on the Los Alamitos Rancho, that about two weeks ago he missed from his cabin a duplicate receipt given by the Pacific Bank of San Francisco, for one hundred dollars; a bill of sale for a horse, and a Ma sonic diploma issued by Neptune Lodge No. 375 Aberdeen, Scotland. J. D. Byrd testified that on search ing the cabin occupied by the prisoner he found the papers claimed to have been lost by the complaining witness. When he informed the prisoner that he had a search warrant, and that he wanted to search his house for some papers alleged to have been stolen, he told him that there were some papers in his house, but he did not know how they came there. He took him into the house, turned down the bed, and showed him the papers. From what he had been told, he believed DEEDS FILED — to D. W. Fields — of land in section south,range 10 west Meridian; consider Ben. Dreyfus to 47 62-100 acres of Extension. Andres Reyes to man—Ten acres or 15, township 2 souls of San Bernardino $300. Lynch and Heleton—Forty acres or 16, township 4 souls of San Bernardino $1,000. Louis Dorr to vineyard lot H. 5 mortar, firmly imbedded in the earth. It is of greystone, weighs about fifteen pounds, and exactly resembles those in which the Indians pound up their maize. It was split exactly through the centre, but so neatly was it joined together, that this was only discovered on lifting it out of the bed, where perchance it had lain for a thousand years. While gazing at the fragmentary fossil, we involuntarily repeated a verse of that grand old anthem of Bret Harte: We do not claim to know exactly what is meant by the above verse, in fact we think it would puzzle even Clargnee King or the editor of the World, but as Bunsby would say, the bearings of those lines lies in the application of them. The number of geological sharks that Anaheim contains is truly amazing, and the different opinions given by them, of "how it got there" is also amazing. One of those sharps went into a clairvoyant state, and delivered himself on the following lucid opinion: "I can look back into the future and imagine the time, when that part of the Western Hemisphere on which ear beautiful town now stands, was nought but a river bed. I can see a number of Indians encamped on the banks of that river. I can see the Indians breaking up their camp and preparing to move toward Santa Barbara, enticed thither by learning in the Press that that place was a thousand miles nearer Pioche than San Francisco was. I can see one Indian, enraged at some imaginary offence, comb his squaw's hair with a mortar, and I see it (the mortar) fall to the ground—broken, where it is left. The years roll on, and so does the drifting sand, and higher and higher it piles, until when the noble band of German pioneers came along and staked off twenty-acre lots, the surface of the earth was six feet higher than it was at the departure of the Diggers. David Davis testified that he was in company with Constable Byrd when he arrested the defendant, and corroborated the evidence of Mr. Byrd. The prisoner plead not guilty, and refused to make any statement. The Court held him to answer on a charge of grand larceny and fixed his bail at two hundred and fifty dollars. Constable Byrd took him to Los Angeles on Thursday. TRESPASS SUIT.—On Wednesday and Thursday last, the case of Pasqual Castoren vs. B. F. Rodgers, was tried in Judge Kobler's Court. This suit was brought to recover the sum of two hundred dollars, damages for trespass, alleged to have been committed by the defendant, in allowing his cattle to feed on the range, which the plaintiff had rented from the Land Co., for the pasture of his sheep. The defense claimed that they had received permission from the Company to pasture their cattle on the same tract. The jury found a verdict for plaintiff for one dollar and costs, the latter item amounting to ninety-seven dollars. The case was ably argued by Judge O. H. Allen for plaintiff and Messrs. S. J. Davis and C. G. Johnson for defendant. OUR PRESS.—We are glad to announce that our new Job Press has arrived. We expected to be able to put it in operation to-day, but owing to the non-arrival of our rollers from Los Angeles, we will necessarily be compelled to defer our Job Work until Monday. On that witness. When he informed the prisoner that he had a search warrant, and that he wanted to search his house for some papers alleged to have been stolen, he told him that there were some papers in his house, but he did not know how they came there. He took him into the house, turned down the bed, and showed him the papers. From what he had been told, he believed the defendant to have been the only occupant of the house where he found the papers. Andres Reyes to man—Ten acres on 15, township 2 square of San Bernardino $300. Lynch and Helenton—Forty acres on 16, township 4 square of San Bernardino $1,000.

The years roll on, and so does the drifting sand, and higher and higher it piles, until when the noble band of German pioneers came along and staked off twenty-acre lots, the surface of the earth was six feet higher than it was at the departure of the Diggers. [Here our reporter interrupted him and asked him if he intended to cast any reflection on the quality of the soil in Anaheim, but was assured that he only used the expression "drifting sand" in a figurative sense.] THE DISAPPOINTMENT. There were two hard-fisted sons of toil at work on the collar, when the mortar was discovered one wielding the pick, and the other wheeling away the soil. The former was the one to make the discovery, and it flashed through his brain that he had struck it rich. He had doubtless heard of the laborer who, when excavating for the foundation of Child's building in Los Angeles, found several thousand dollars, and be fancied that he had lit on a similar prize. Being anxious to reap the full benefit of his discovery, his first care was to get rid of his unconscious "pard" who was serenely shovelling away, in blissful ignorance of his comrade's agitation of mind. He, of the pick, suggested in an insinuating manner to the knight of the shovel, that a little beer would "go" pretty good, and proposed to furnish the required bits, if his dear friend would OUR PRESS. — We are glad to announce that our new Job Press has arrived. We expected to be able to put it in operation to-day, but owing to the non-arrival of our rollers from Los Angeles, we will necessarily be compelled to defer our Job Work until Monday. On that day we invite our friends, one and all, to come up and see how "the old thing works." We are enabled now to do work of any description at Los Angeles prices, and will guarantee that all jobs will be turned off in a style not excelled by any Job Office South of San Francisco.

Dimmock, one of our substantial men, intends changing his place of residence to Richland in a few weeks. Accident—a carriage, containing three gentlemen of Anaheim, was overturned, whilst returning from the May-day picnic on Thursday and Mr. S. Randall sustained a fracture of the small bone of the leg. The wound, although very painful, is not as serious as was at first anticipated. [A subsequent examination proved that the injury was more serious than at first thought. The leg is broken in two places, at the ankle and midway of the leg. Dr. Hardin is in attendance on him.] Recovering—Our friend T.

Two paisanos gesticulated with two tremendously long knives but unfortunately sheathed them without using. Young America, "on the rampage" at the May-day picnic, received a well-merited drubbing, not however as much as he deserved. Charlie Johnson is evidently the lawyer, for whom Solon Shingle sought so long and earnestly without finding. He is good on a "cow case." E. L.
