Punctually at 2:30 P.M. on Wednesday, the members of Anaheim Lodge No. 199 I, O. O. P. assembled at their old lodge room in the Masonic hall, and with their brothers of Los Angeles, El Monte, and Gallatin, started in procession to the building recently erected by them, and for the dedication of which, the cares of business had been laid aside. The column was led by Desmond's brass band of Los Angeles. It proceeded down Los Angeles to Centre, down Centre to Lemon, thence along Lemon to North 1st street, and through that street to their building on the corner of North 1st, and Los Angeles streets. All of the seats, not necessary for the use of the brotherhood, had been already occupied by ladies. As soon, therefore, as the procession filed in the lodge-room, all the available standing space, both in the lodge proper and the ante-room, was filled up by the crowd which was eagerly awaiting the commencement of the work. Grand Master Wartenberg having requested all present to arise, amidst an intense and appreciative silence Grand Chaplain Pridham invoked the presence of the Deity, and formally commenced the beautiful ceremony of dedication. Grand Master Wartenberg was also assist- The schooner, Dreadnaught, arrived at Anaheim Landing on Saturday with 120,000 feet of lumber for Halberstadt & Co. The shareholders of the Monticello mine, will hear something to their advantage by calling at the telegraph office. An important business meeting of the Anaheim Turn-verein will be held this evening at 8:30 P.M. All members are requested to be present. Professor Dean, our tonsorial artist, is the happy possessor of the sewing machine, offered as a premium by the proprietor of the Star. The annual stockholders' meeting of the Anaheim Lighter Company, will be held at the office of the Water Company at 8 o'clock P.M., on Monday. A letter has been received from W. S. Wright, dated November 21st. He was then at Camp Verde, A. T., and expected to be in Anaheim to participate in the Christmas festivities. Nast, the author of the caricatures of the Patrons of Husbandry in Harper's Weekly, is compared by a Santa Ana Granger thusly: positive, Nast, comparative, Nasty, superlative, Nastiness. A team, belonging to Mr. Dreyfus, ran away on Tuesday afternoon. The driver was thrown from his seat and sustained a slight concussion of the brain. He is under the treatment of Dr. Gardiner. Business was brisk around the Justice's Court on Saturday. Both civil and criminal suits were on the docket, and many knotty points of law were discussed and decided by the legal luminaries, congregated on the curb-stone. The schooner Caroline Medean, which recently arrived at Anaheim Landing with 100,000 feet of lumber and 30 barrels of lime, consigned to Halberstadt & Co., sailed on Tuesday for San Francisco with 2000 sacks of grain. At the meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. & A. M. held on last Saturday evening, the officers elected for the ensuing year were as follows: Theodore Reiser, W. M.; F. W. Athearn, S. W.; Richard Grand Master Wartenberg having requested all present to arise, amidst an intense and appreciative silence Grand Chaplain Pridham invoked the presence of the Deity, and formally commenced the beautiful ceremony of dedication. Grand Master Wartenberg was also assisted by the following members of the Grand Lodge: A. A. Wilson, D. G.; P. C. McKinnie, G W.; J. P. Zeyn, G H.; T. T, Hayes, G T.; J. Dolland, G C.; H. Fleishman, G G.; Champlin, Matthews, Robinson, and Meyer, Heralds. At the close of the ceremony, Grand Master Wartenberg introduced the orator of the day, the Honorable Frank Ganahl, of Los Angeles. Major Ganahl's powers as an orator have quite a wide-spread notoriety, but in Anaheim are centred quite a number of his most enthusiastic admires, and it was therefore with a pleasure plainly perceptible that the audience settled down to listen to what they know would most amply repay them for their attention. Major Ganahl commenced by sketching the growth of Odd Fellowship in the United States, and described its upward course since Washington Lodge No. 1 was founded in Baltimore in 1819. He depicted in glowing language the benefits which the fraternity had conferred not only upon the members of the order itself, but upon the whole country. Paying an eloquent tribute to the enterprise of the members of Anaheim lodge, he exhorted their brothers of Los Angeles and of other lodges represented, to emulate their energy and example. It is impossible, however, to report Major Ganahl's address. Bare words, when divested of his impassioned and eloquent delivery and without the personnel, which of itself commands wrap attention, are incapable of conveying even a slight idea of that rare gift of eloquence, which he so eminently possesses, and we prefer to leave the speech to the pleasing remembrances of those whose good fornal, taken from FORNIAN, I am in some questions.

At the meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. & A. M. held on last Saturday evening, the officers elected for the ensuing year were as follows: Theodore Reiser, W. M.; F. W. Athearn, S. W.; Richard Melrose, J. W.; M. L. Goodman, Treasurer; P. A. Clark, Secretary. The officers will be installed on December 27th. One of the most pleasurable incidents of a very pleasant day, was the meeting with our friend Major Frank Ganahl on Wednesday. It was our first interview since his return from Europe. We regret exceedingly that business compelled his immediate departure, and thus deprived his many friends of the pleasure, always anticipated in his society. It is a singular coincidence that upon the days of the dedication balls of the Masonic fraternity and of the Odd-Follows, it rained. Deduction therefrom—whenever the season is dry, build a hall and dedicate it. Such a course brings rain in this county better even than the prayers of the righteous, which Holy Script tells us "availeth much." The following is the rain-fall as reported to us by Dr. Higgins: Rain-fall from Dec. 3rd to Dec. 4th one and seven-eight inches; from noon Dec. 4th to noon Dec. 5th three-eights. Total to date two and one-fourth inches. Major Ganahl's address is impossible, however, to report. Words when divested of his impassioned and eloquent delivery and without the personnel, which of itself commands wrap attention, are incapable of conveying even a slight idea of that rare gift of eloquence, which he so eminently possesses, and we prefer to leave the speech to the pleasing remembrances of those, whose good fortune it was to be present. In the evening, and despite the inclementy of the weather, at an early hour—for Anaheim believes in lengthening to their full extent, pleasurable hours—the devotees of the ball-room began to assemble at Enterprise Hall. Every preparation had been made to present to the public an entertainment worthy of Anaheim. The rain, therefore, if it was thought of, only enhanced the pleasure of the occasion, by bringing to the mind fore-shadowings of the prosperity and happiness attendant upon its gentle presence. The hour was indeed a fitting one to be gay. So at least thought or seemed to think the smiling dancers, who tripped gaily fantastic measures beneath the witching influence of the melody of Desmond's band, until the dusky hue of the "wee sma" hours ayant the twal" paled before the coming morn. One of the most notable features of the occasion was the supper-room. We do not speak of the goodly array of edibles provided for the inner man, under the supervision of Robert Menzel, but of the decorations.

Many a happy incident to be remembered in after years by the participants occurred, and food for many a pleasant reminiscence was stored up by the guests at the dedication ball of Anaheim Lodge. A LETTER OF INQUIRY. The letter printed below was sent to Mr. Francis S. Miles of this place, and has been handed to us for publication. We give it to the public, in the hope that some one or more of our readers will reply to the inquiries. 307, N. 15th Street, St. Louis, Mo., 20th November, 1873. SIR: From an article in Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal, taken from the Anaheim California, I am induced to ask you some questions. Can a regular practitioner, a graduate of a medical college, make a good living in vicinity (say 20 miles) of Anaheim, by his profession? Can he make it successful raising cattle, horses, mules or sheep? Preferred first as in order mentioned. What is the most feasible way of reaching Anaheim and where is its Angora Goat's Wool—Mr. J. W. Clark has shown us a latter received from a relative living in one of the interior towns of New York, from which we have been permitted to publish the following extract, in regard to the establishment of a manufactory for the production of alpaca: "A single manufactory is now nearly completed, that will give employment to four to six hundred hands. The majority of the company, and most of the capital, came from Bradford, England. They think they will use 300,000 pounds of Angora goat's wool or mohair, yearly, as soon as they get running up to their fall capacity. It is the only manufactory of the kind in the United States. My object in writing so particularly about the alpaca factory is this: I understand that a large number of the mountain rancheros in your part of the State are crossing the Angora with the California goat, and are producing a very fair quality of mohair. The manufactory will take all the No. 1 and 2 goat wool and mohair, provided they can get it as reasonable as they can in New York. They want the staple at least seven inches in length, and free from tags and dirt. If you can find two or three bales, and ship it here by railroad, you can draw on me at sight for the amount, and by return mail receive the draft." We have been requested by Judge Clark to state, that he would be pleased to receive some samples of wool to send No Excursion.—As was to be expected, says the Los Angeles press of Thursday, the announcement excursion of the Grangers, to place to-day, was indefinitely postponed on account of the weakness. The disappointment was not without its compensation; for everyone was glad to forego the pleasure picnic in consideration of the benefit that would ensure to them from the rain. As far as people of this city are concerned there is another pleasant competition for Judge Thompson, who his address prepared to deliver Los Nietos, has consented to deliver it at the District Court room evening. LARGE SALE—To Express that the sale by Mr. L. J. Ross his entire coming orange crop spoken of in commercial circles of the most satisfactory transaction that have taken place here for long time. He is to receive $3 thousand for his entire pick, but delivered at the depot in city. As he has about five hundred trees, and the average not be less than 1,000 oranges per tree, the amount received will be $15,000. It will cost about five dollars per thousand to pick the box and deliver it, so that the profit on the crop will be the same sum of $12,500. For the very best Photograph to Bradley and Rulofson's garden without Stairs. Ascend Elevator, 429 Montgomery-street taken from the Anaheim Californian, I am induced to ask you some questions. Can a regular practitioner, a graduate of a medical college, make a good living in vicinity (say 20 miles) of Anaheim, by his profession? Can he make it successful raising cattle, horses, mules or sheep? Preferred first as in order mentioned. What is the most feasible way of reaching Anaheim, and where is its exact locality? I have not seen it on the map; how far, and which way, by the compass, from San Diego and Los Angeles is it? Please excuse a stranger for bothering you, but I am in search of more light. Address me as per No. of my street. Respectfully, Geo. Sumroll. With regard to the first inquiry, we reply that this section is lamentably healthy. Practitioners are obliged to rely for practice upon the numerous casualities to which all communities are liable, and those accidents which are always occurring in the best regulated families in a healthy and prolific country like this. His next question can be answered more satisfactorily. There is probably no country in the world where stock of every description can be raised more certainly, or profitably, than here. We have not only natural evergreen pastures, but what is still better, thousands of acres of rich valley land, upon which alfalfa or lucerne can be grown. These grasses are perennial, and will sustain from two to five cows, or from ten to twenty-five sheep per acre throughout the year. No winter care is required, our winter being really a spring. Anaheim occupies a central position in the great valley of Los Angeles county, twenty-seven miles southeast from the city of Los Angeles, on a direct road to San Diego, distant one hundred miles, and can be easily reached by steamer or stage from San Francisco, or by the Panama steamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. A Runaway—An accident occurred to the down coach of the Los Angeles and San Diego Stage ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. — On last Saturday afternoon, as a reporter of the California was passing a tenement on Lemon street, inhabited by Mexicans, he was startled by the sudden report of a pistol and the simultaneous scream of a woman. The unusual noise attracted the attention of the neighbors, and soon the dwelling from whence the noise proceeded was crowded by a motley crew of excited and inquiring Mexicans. It seems that a young lad had, from some cause which our reporter could not ascertain, determined to leave this vale of sorrow and seek repose in the silent tomb, and to that end had attempted to shoot himself, but was frustrated by the women whose scream was heard by our reporter. The crowd did not seem to sympathize very strongly with the young man, and judging by the vehement and contemptuous exclamations that were hurled at him, they thought it a matter of infinite regret, that he had failed to accomplish his purpose. A CHRISTMAS TREE. — We would suggest that some of our public spirited ladies meet together at an early day, and make the necessary arrangements to have a public Christmas tree." The entertainment of last year was arranged hastily and with very little concert of action. But was, withal, a high-toned success. The same hall can no doubt be secured this year, and by taking a few energetic and timely steps, a pleasant Christmas night may be enjoyed by the young and old. MARRIED.

A RUNAWAY.—An accident occurred to the down coach of the Los Angeles and San Diego Stage Company at Gallatin on Thursday night. Our friend "Charlie" loves a high-spirited, fine looking team and will drive nothing but the best of stock. As a general rule, this weakness is productive of pleasure to all, whom business or pleasure call to make the trip between this place and Los Angeles. Sometimes, but very rarely, there is an exception, as was the case on Thursday. Whilst the coach was standing in front of the Postoffice at Gallatin, the leaders became frightened and straightened themselves out for Gaddy & Lewis' stable. Pursuing rather an erratic course, they soon came to grief, not, however, before making a general smash up of coach and harness. "Charley" was careful though, and brought his passengers through without having sustained any injury whatever. BUY A Stove.—A sight of the little blue noses of the cherubs who congregate every day in the primary school-room, ought to soften the obdurate hearts of the School Trustees, and induce them to expend a little of the surplus funds in the purchase of a stove.
