A Voice from the City.
On last Sunday morning, a Mexican who was strolling on the beach near Anaheim Landing, observed a common black bottle dancing on the waves but a short distance from the shore. Impelled by some unaccountable feeling, he determined to possess it, and to that end he waited patiently and kept it in sight. In about half an hour after its discovery, it came, borne on the crest of a wave, within his reach, and be secured it. He took the bottle to the saloon of Evers & Classen, and the former, in the presence of a number of men there congregated, opened it, and found enclosed a note of which the following is a copy:
Miss Mary E. Mathews, Daniel Garner, Miss Mary Garner, George Rose, All was drowned at the time they was taken a pleasure trip on the coast their Boat sunk and the screams that rose filled My heart With woe i haf to stop and prepare to die good By.
The above was written in pencil on a peice of paper which bore evidence of having been hastily torn from a memorandum book. It is now in our possession and may be seen by the curious. Whether the disaster implied in the note, happened or not, we have no means of ascertainting. That the bottle was found by the Mexican in the manner related, given to Mr. Evers,

While Dr. Gardiner was making a visit at upper Santa Ana, on Thursday, his team became frightened and broke the ropes with which they were hitched. After a mad gallop of about five miles, they were brought to a standstill by a vacquero. Strange to say, neither the horses nor buggy were injured in the least.
On Thursday last, telegraphic communication was established between Anaheim and San Bernardino. At 7:32 p.m., the first message was sent over the line by Mr. P. A. Clark. Several congratulatory telegrams were interchanged between the citizens of Anaheim and San Bernardino. Yesterday the line was in constant operation.

The above was written in pencil on a piece of paper which bore evidence of having been hastily torn from a memorandum book. It is now in our possession and may be seen by the curious. Whether the disaster implied in the note, happened or not, we have no means of ascertaining. That the bottle was found by the Mexican in the manner related, given to Mr. Evers, opened by him and the note above quoted found therein, there can be no doubt. But whether it was cast into the sea in the manner implied, or whether it was launched as a "joke" by the hands of some fun-loving party at some far-off seaside retreat, is beyond our "ken." But as no account has ever reached us of such a loss of life, we are inclined to the belief that the latter surmise is the correct version of this "Ocean Mystery."
Specimens.-Mr. Parker planted some vines of the Muscatel variety last year. There is nothing very remarkable in this, and we would not have mentioned the fact at all, had we not been the recipient of a large, compact bunch of grapes, weighing over two pounds, which Mr. P. had plucked from one of the vines planted at the time aforesaid. We devoured it in a very few minutes...Mr. J. B. Raine also brought to our sanctum another specimen of our agricultural capabilities. It was a sweet potatoe weighing six pounds, which we also devoured—with some little outside assistance...Still another specimen indigenous to our soil, made its appearance in the printing office during the week. It was a full-grownarantula, which we found gamboling over the types on the imposing stone, in pursuit of knowledge. We imparted some to him, with the heavy end of a broom stick.
Gut Heil!—On to-morrow, Anaheim will be invaded by forty members of the Los Angeles Turn-Verein. They will probably arrive about 11 A.M., and the programme will be about as follows: They will are in favor of seat at Anaheim interests are our prosperity, and times to do our ment.

On Thursday last, telegraphic communication was established between Anaheim and San Bernardino. At 7:32 p.m. the first message was sent over the line by Mr. P. A. Clark. Several congratulatory telegrams were interchanged between the citizens of Anaheim and San Bernardino. Yesterday the line was in constant operation.
On Wednesday last, while Mrs. Parker was alighting from her carriage, one of the horses became frightened, probably at the fluttering of her dress, and began to kick and plunge. Mrs. Parker received a vicious kick, which knocked her down. We are glad to learn that no other result than a few days lameness will follow the accident.
The following "notice" was handed to us by Rev. C. Gridley, with a request for its publication:
There will be a camp-meeting held by the Methodist E. Church South, for the Santa Ana circuit, commencing on Thursday September 25th, and continuing until after the first Sunday in October, if not providentially prevented. The Camp ground is about 150 yards below where the camp-meeting was held last year, on the Santa Ana river, near the road leading from the town of Santa Ana to the Anaheim Landing, about twelve miles west of Santa Ana, and six miles south of Anaheim. All are respectfully invited to attend this meeting and it is desirable that all who can, should camp on the ground and provide for their own accommodation. There will be a tent where those who prefer it can get board at one dollar per day, or five dollars per week. There will also be a hay yard where horses will be attended to at reasonable rates.
Gut Heil!—On to-morrow, Anaheim will be invaded by forty members of the Los Angeles Turn-Verein. They will probably arrive about 11 a.m., and the programme will be about as follows; They will form in procession at the outskirts of the town, and headed by the Los Angeles Band, will march through the streets to Enterprise Hall, where they will fraternize with the Anaheim Verein. In the evening the members will give a dramatic performance, after which will be a dance. By a strange coincidence, Conrad has just completed brewing an extra quantity of beer.
Ladies' Social Club—The next entertainment of this festive organization, will be given on Wednesday evening at Enterprise Hall. The programme is made up of tableaux, vocal and instrumental music. They will even invade the domain of Negro Minstrelsy, two adepts in the burnt-cork business having kindly volunteered.
Personal—Mr. L. M. Holt, late of the Healdsburg Flag, and now acting as correspondent of the Rural Press, visited us on Wednesday. The many readers of the Press, in this section, may expect to see his views of the agricultural capabilities of our county in the columns of that journal. We also acknowledge a call from Mr. C. A. Bancroft, correspondent of the Los Angeles Star.
LETTER FROM WESTMINSTER.
Our Correspondent's Apologies—How the Westminster folks regard Anaheim—He gives some sensible suggestions on school matters—and he geeth for Knowlton—and he Promineth more.
For some time, I have been suffering from an attack of cacoethes scribendi, but was determined not to yield to its influence, nevertheless in a moment of forgetfulness, I promised to become your correspondent. If you find this composition erratic and disjointed, attribute it to a brain filled with the mistakes and misdemeanors of twenty or thirty pupils, the squealing of a hundred hungry hogs, the cries of a sick child, the mournful notes emanating from an unhealthy kitten and the quacking of a flock of ducks. But to commence.
The people of Westminster are in favor of county division, and will work for it with what strength they have, using all honorable means. As nearly as the writer can judge, a majority, if not all the voters here, are in favor of having the county seat at Anaheim. We feel that her interests are ours, her prosperity, our prosperity, and are willing at all times to do our best for her advancement. We gave our mite towards her church, and hope to see it sustained. We join her charitable orders and are ready at any time to aid in making Anaheim more prosperous and attractive. Feeling as
A CARD.
To my Fellow Citizens of Los Angeles County:
In reference to my candidacy for the District Judgeship—it has been urged as an argument against me that I am engaged as counsel in so many important cases now pending in court, that therefore some other candidate ought to be preferred. This strikes me as a very poor argument. A lawyer’s success in being so engaged is supposed to rest upon the good opinion of the community in his legal ability and moral integrity. If these qualifications are to exclude that class of lawyers from the bench, then the consequence would be, as a general rule, that only those lawyers are eligible for judges who have no cases in court and no qualifications for obtaining cases. The law of the land never contemplated such a result. It wisely provides that no judge shall sit in judgment in any case where he has ever been employed as counsel or has any interest. It also provides that one District Judge may exchange with another District Judge in holding his court, so as to afford an impartial tribunal in all cases where a Judge may be in any wise interested.
I hope it is unnecessary for me to say to those who know me, that in the event of my election, it will be not only my legal obligation, but the imperious dictate of my con-
are in favor of having the county seat at Anaheim. We feel that her interests are ours, her prosperity, our prosperity, and are willing at all times to do our best for her advancement. We gave our mite towards her church, and hope to see it sustained. We join her charitable orders and are ready at any time to aid in making Anaheim more prosperous and attractive. Feeling as we do, we think we have a right to criticise her action in public matters and to ask her people not to discriminate harshly against us, our interest and progress.
We think Anaheim made a great mistake in allowing a portion of her school district to be formed into a new district. Time will soon demonstrate that it would have been the better policy to organize a primary suburban school or schools, wherever they may be necessary. Anaheim, to compare favorably with her rivals in Southern California, should build an elegant, substantial school house, furnish it with seats, charts, maps, globes, and all things necessary to a well appointed school, with sufficient room for all who might apply for admission, and a sufficient number of teachers to instruct all the pupils in any branch of study prescribed by the State Board of Education. As soon as possible, a High School should be organized. No one thing attracts men of family and means so strongly, as do good school facilities and respectable places of worship.
Another thing: Inducements should immediately be given to attract parties to institute a college or first class boarding school. Santa Barbara has one or two famous boarding schools, besides an imposing public school structure of brick containing eight rooms, and, I believe, giving employment to as many teachers. Perhaps, owing to the partial failure of the crops, it is premature to agitate this question, nevertheless, keep it before the people.
I was surprised that the Southern Californian should devote so much space in answering anything that Professor (?) Knowlton might employed as counsel or has any interest. It also provides that one District Judge may exchange with another District Judge in holding his court, so as to afford an impartial tribunal in all cases where a Judge may be in any wise interested.
I hope it is unnecessary for me to say to those who know me, that in the event of my election, it will be not only my legal obligation, but the imperious dictate of my conscience and my honor as a man, to refrain from acting as judge in any of the cases in which I may have been concerned as counsel or otherwise interested.
I take this opportunity also to state that in order to avoid any additional embarrassment of the kind above referred to, I propose, in the event of my election in October, to immediately dissolve with my present law firm and to take no new business as legal counsel. And also, that I will endeavor as far as practicable to finish up my old cases before our present Honorable District Judge shall retire from the bench.
Respectfully your obd't serv't,
Andrew Glassell.

I was surprised that the Southern Californian should devote so much space in answering anything that Professor (?) Knowlton might write or copy on any subject. He is nothing but an egotistical demagogue, and a tolerable professor of elocution. He is so ignorant, that it is a matter of constant comment among teachers. All wonder how he ever obtained a certificate, and by what strange hocus pocus he manages to retain his position in the San Francisco public schools. Still his writings might do an injury if read by parties not acquaint-ed with the author.
I have much more to say, but will let it lie over for another week. C. H.
Insane — Thomas M. Pursell, formerly employed as teamster by Langenberger & Co., but who has lately been working for Mr. J. B. Raweon, at his sheep ranch near San Juan Capistrano, will be sent to Stockton to-day, in charge of a Deputy Sheriff. His mind had become so seriously impaired, as to render it necessary that he be taken to the insane asylum, where it is hoped his shattered intellect will be fully restored. Several causes have combined to overthrow a mind unusually intelligent, but it is surmised that it was chiefly owing to a too morbid curiosity on the subject of the "life hernard."
