A Trip up the Santiago Canon in Search of Fossil Remains—A Visit to Richland, and Some Remarks About that Future Metropolis. Some four months ago, Mr. F. Langenberger, while attending a picnic in the Santiago Canon, discovered, imbedded in a large rock, the fossil remains of some mammal animal. On Monday last, Mr. Langenberger, Maj. Chase, of the U.S. Coast Survey, and a California representative, took a ride up the canon, with the intention of excavating the volcanic, which Maj. Chase desired to add to his already large and valuable collection of fossil remains. The canon is about twelve miles from Anaheim, and the road, with the exception of a whale which Mr. Shrewsbury discovered. On our return to the banks of the little brook, we naturally felt thirsty after our ramble among the mountains, and how to get a drink of the pure cold water running at our feet became a problem. Neither our dignity nor the fine texture of our apparel would permit us to get down on our hands and knees, and drink "horse fashion," and as we were about to return with our thirst unsatisfied, the eagle eye of the Major di-covered something glistening in the sand, and to our great joy it proved to be an old cow-bell, minus the tongue, which gave Fred an excellent opportunity to make a wretched pun, about it being the first time he had ever seen a tongue less belle. Using it as cup, we quenched our thirst and started homeward. RICHLAND. On our way home, we made a slight detour in order to visit Richland, where we were hospitably received by Capt. W. T. Glassell, the agent for the sale of the Richland tract. Little can be said of this fine body of land that is not now known; it having been well written up in the various newspapers of the county. The appearance of the crops betoken an abundant supply of water, the A. B. Chapman canal furnishing more than enough to irrigate the whole tract. The soil is specially adapted to the profitable growth of semi-tropical fruit. BOARD OF METROLOGY on Monday afternoon. A to A. M.

The B year's delinquency those whom the vent, or such sumed to be fetch at public taxes, to moth animal. On Monday last, Mr. Langenberger, Maj. Chase, of the U.S. Coast Survey, and a CALIFORNIAN representative, took a ride up the canyon, with the intention of excavating the vertabrae, which Maj. Chase desired to add to his already large and valuable collection of fossil remains. The canyon is about twelve miles from Anaheim, and the road, with the exception of about three miles, is as hard and level as a floor. The canyon itself is a place of wild beauty and grandeur. The tall, massive, guarded oaks, towering fifty feet in the air, with their limbs unscathed by the woodmans axe; the wild grape-vines clustering about its trunk and branches, and covering it with a dense mass of verdure; the high hills on either side covered with every variety of wild shrubbery and clothes in their summer mantle of green; the soft murmar of the little brook, as it courses down the mountain side and through the canyon, its clear cold water sparkling in the sun's rays; the sweet musical strains of the inimitable mocking bird, and the loud startling whirr of the flying mountain quail, all combine to form a sublime and unparalleled scene of grandeur. Hitching our horses to the limb of a convenient tree, we shouldered pickaxe, chisel and mallet, and started up the mountain, where we soon found the object of our search. While the Major with the enthusiasm of a geologist, and Fred, with the pride of a discoverer, dug and chiselled away, endavoring to get the curiosity out, our reporter sat down on soft piece of rock near by, and feasted his eyes on the beauties of nature with which he was surrounded, and which he has endeavored to portray. After half an hour's hard labor on the part of the two scientists, and half an hour's mature reflection on the part of our reporter, it was unanimously resolved that the bone was too much decomposed to be able to take out entire, and after securing enough to make a decent specimen, we meandered up one of the numerous "washes" on the mountain side, on agent for the sale of the Richland tract. Little can be said of this fine body of land that is not now known, it having been well written up in the various newspapers of the county. The appearance of the crops betoken an abundant supply of water, the A. B. Chapman canal furnishing more than enough to irrigate the whole tract. The soil is specially adapted to the profitable growth of semi-tropical fruits, and recognizing this fact, the settlers have planted extensive vineyards and orchards. The Farmers' and Fruit Growers' Club, at one of their meetings, appointed a committee to ascertain the number of trees, vines etc. that had been planted this season. At a subsequent meeting they reported the number of vines to be 320,000, fruit trees 11,000, arbor trees 10,000. This is only a partial report and does not embrace the whole district. We believe it was the Star that stated that Mr. Garey of Los Angeles had sold to the settlers in that vicinity, some $19,000 worth of trees. With an eye to the future importance of this place, the proprietors have laid out a town site, and already a number of lots have been sold, and several new houses are in process of erection. A blacksmith shop is in full working order, and a grocery store is about being opened by B. F. Smith. The school house is large and commodious, and has an average attendance of fifty-two scholars. The water for domestic purposes is supplied from a large reservoir, near the center of the town, from which iron water pipes are laid under the different streets and hydrants are erected in convenient localities. Pepper trees have been planted along the streets, which are eighty feet wide. One of our party, partaking of the quiet enthusiasm of Capt. Glassell, who described in glowing terms,the brilliant future in store for Richland, invested in a city lot. (B.-6) and thus became a bloated landholder in this embryo metropolis. After ratifying the sale with appropriate ceremonies, we started homeward,having thoroughly enjoyed our after Anaheim and Langenberger in conjunction Surveyor, workers.

After half an hour hard labor on the part of the two scientists, and half an hour mature reflection on the part of our reporter, it was unanimously resolved that the bone was too much decomposed to be able to take out entire, and after securing enough to make a decent specimen, we meandered up one of the numerous "washes" on the mountain side, on a voyage of discovery, and succeeded in filling our pockets with chrystalized gypsum, which can here be found in large quantities. The Maj. also secured some fossilized teeth, which he pronounced valuable, but was unable to determine to what species of animal they had belonged. The teeth are about one and one half inches in length and spiral in shape. That a patient investigation of these mountains would reveal many things of interest to a scientist, adults of no doubt. Already the attention of, the California Academy of Sciences have been called to the geological wonders which abound in what is known as the Shrewsbury Canyon, and it is intention of the Academy, at an early day, to send out an expedition to explore this canyon. Mr. Shrewsbury has sent many interesting fossil specimens which he has found in the mountains, to the various officers of the Academy, and has succeeded in awakening an interest, which only a thorough and scientific examination can allay. Among the many things they will find to interest them, will be the petrified remains have been planted along the streets, which are eighty feet wide. One of our party, partaking of the quiet enthusiasm of Capt. Glassell, who described in glowing terms, the brilliant future in store for Richland, invested in a city lot. (B. 6) and thus became a bloated landholder in this embryo metropolis. After ratifying the sale with appropriate ceremonies, we started homeward, having thoroughly enjoyed our after noon's ramble. In our next issue we will describe Tustin City to our readers, and endeavor to put forward the claims that place possesses to public notice. PETIT LARCENY — August Knidot, a waiter employed in the Challenger Restaurant, was arrested on Wednesday on complaint of Felix Pouchot, who charged him with stealing $20 from the till. He was tried before Judge Kohler, who sentenced him to pay a fine of twenty dollars or ten days imprisonment in the county jail. Being unable to furnish the required double eagle, he was taken to Los Angeles by Constable Pullen. PRIVATE SCHOOL — J. M. Guinn opened on Monday a private school which will be continued until the commencement of the Fall session of the Public Schools. Forty pupils were in attendance on the first day and since then the number has steadily increasing. Angheim is fortunate in having secured for its youth the services of an instructor so efficient and able as Mr. Guinn. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.—Board met on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. A contract was awarded to A. M. Sannon to construct a bridge over the arroyo on the east side of the Los Angeles river, for the sum of $2,100. New school districts were established in Los Nietos and Anaheim townships. The consolidation of the offices of Sheriff and Tax Collector was agreed to, and the proclamation to that effect, required by law, was ordered to be published. The offices of County Recorder and Auditor were ordered consolidated, but those of Coroner and Public Administrator were left separate. J. B. Pierce and H. D. Polhemus, who were appointed last session to view out a read from Los Angeles Street, Anaheim, in a Northwestern direction, until it intersected the old Los Angeles road, made their report, in which they stated that the location was advisable and required for public convenience. The report was accepted and placed on file. In the matter of the petition of citizens of Anaheim for a public road between Anaheim and the Landing, A. Langenberger and J. W. Clark, in conjunction with the County Surveyor, were appointed as viewers. The Board went over last year's delinquent tax list and added those whom they thought were solvent, or such property as was presumed to be of sufficient value to fetch at public sale the amount of the taxes, to this year's delinquent Kleinigheiten, Send in your orders for printing. Picnics are all the rage in Anaheim at present. Sam. Hamilton Esq., of Los Angeles, was in town on Wednesday. Hadn't Mr. Olden better publish his communications in his local paper? "Planters' Favorite," is a new brand of wine to be had at Fischer's Hotel. We are informed that an Anaheim lawyer got spanked in Los Angeles the other day. J. W. Clark wants it understood that he is not a candidate for the office of Town Trustee—in Alameda. Gen. Benton, of Los Angeles, is spoken of as the probable nominee of the Republican party for Sheriff. Crum has for sale a beautiful black filly, three years of age. It is a foal of his famous trotting mare. The mare found in the possession of Miguel Bija will be sold on Monday next, by Constable Byrd. John Fischer left yesterday for San Francisco, to attend the Grand Lodge of Old Fellows. M. Calisher & Co. will receive by next steamer a large and complete invoice of new Summer goods. The artesian well, now being bored at D. W. Fields', near town, is almost a success. It is down two hundred and seventy-one feet. Snooting Array.

Langenberger and J. W. Clark, in conjunction with the County Surveyor, were appointed as viewers. The Board went over last year's delinquent tax list and added those whom they thought were solvent, or such property as was presumed to be of sufficient value to fetch at public sale the amount of the taxes, to this year's delinquent list. The New Code imposes an interest of two per cent per month on the amount of the assessment. There is about $7,000 delinquent on the tax roll of last year. Postponement of the Public Library Gift Concert.—It will be seen by the announcement in our advertising columns that the third gift concert of the Public Library of Kentucky, which was to have taken place April 8, has been postponed until July 5. This postponement has not been occasioned, as we are advised by Gov. Bramlette, by the small sale of tickets; on the contrary, the sales have been unusually large—much larger than at any of the preceding concerts—so large indeed that the time given by this ninety-day postponement will enable Gov. Bramlette to dispose of every ticket and insure a full drawing without any reduction or scaling of the gifts, as has heretofore been the case. Gov. B. sees his way so clearly that he announces in the most positive and unequivocal language that the drawing will take place July 8, and that it will be a full one. The owner of the ticket drawing the capital gift will get $100,000 in greenbacks without any discount, and so of all the other gifts. The money sufficient to pay all the gifts—$500,000 in greenbacks—is already on deposit in the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank, set apart for the payment of the gifts and can be used for no other purpose, as will be seen by the cashier's certificate. With a knowledge of these facts—and we do not hesitate to guarantee their scrupulous fulfillment—there will be such a demand for the tickets now on hand that in all probability John Fischer left yesterday for San Francisco, to attend the Grand Lodge of Old Feilows. M. Calisher & Co. will receive by next steamer a large and complete invoice of new Summer goods. The artesian well, now being bored at D. W. Fields', near town, is almost a success. It is down two hundred and seventy-one feet. A force of workmen have been employed to put in complete repair the steamer Vaquero, now lying at Newport/Landing. Charles Peterson had thirty dollars in coin and a silver watch stolen from him last Thursday. No clue to the thief. The little financial misunderstanding between Engelhardt and Des Granges has been settled without an appeal to the law. "Here is a rose for you, now be sure and put it in the paper," said Anabeim cherub to us the other day. Have we fulfilled our promise? The schooner "Sarah" is discharing a cargo of lumber at Annaheim Landing, consigned to Langenberger, Blochman & Co. Father Sanchez of Santa Barbara is in town. He will hold services in the Catholic Church to-day and tomorrow at 10 o'clock A.M. Hon. A. L. Bush passed through town on Thursday from Los Angeles. He reports the "ring" as much alarmed about County Division. Dravsen & Boege want it distinctly understood that all their accounts must be settled monthly. We wish them better success in their collections than we have. We acknowledge the receipt of a box of "Habanas" from our friend, Senor Don Antonio Yorba. May he live a thousand years and remember us often during his life. Mr W.-M McPherson, the talented young lawyer of Los Angeles, and author of the "Resources of Los Angeles," now in the hands of the printers, paid us a visit last Tuesday. The firm of Gaddy, Wilay & Co. Richland Farmers' Club. The regular meeting of this club took place on last Tuesday, at the Richland school house. There was a very large attendance, the school house being uncomfortably crowded. Capt. Glassel addressed the club on the all-important "water question" and read the proposition made by Chapman and Glassell to the people of Santa Ana and vicinity, offering them the use of their ditch on fair and liberal terms. W. M. McFadden, Co. Supt. of Schools, addressed the club in his usual happy style. His remarks on Fruit, Flowers and Education were able, pleasing and effective. At the conclusion of his address the club adjourned, Mr. W. M. McPherson, the talented young lawyer of Los Angeles, and author of the "Resources of Los Angeles," now in the hands of the printers, paid us a visit last Tuesday. The firm of Gaddy, Wiley & Co. has been dissolved, and M. R. Gaddy is now the sole owner of the Planters Stable. Messrs. Wiley and Canavon intend devoting all their time to the care of their sheep. The Election held at Richland for the purpose of raising $400 to pay certain claims against the school, was negatived by one vote. Another election will be held on May 31st. See advertisement. We noticed that the wild grape-vines in the Santiago Cañon were not at all injured by the frost; which seems to confirm Mr. Olden's theory that vines trained to a height of five or six feet, are not affected by frost. A large consignment of gopher scalps was forwarded to Los Angeles last week. One boy has captured about one hundred and fifty during the past few weeks. The premium is eight cents on each scalp.
