Southern Californian SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1873. SPECIAL NOTICE. WE HAVE REDUCED THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE of the California to $4 per year. Special inducements are offered to Clubs. Merrill Clark & Austin are our authorized agents in Anaheim, and all orders left with them will receive prompt attention. Kleinigkeiten. —Fairview Grange will hold a meeting this afternoon. —If you don’t pay your taxes today, they will become delinquent. —A dancing school is in process of organization. —Clark & Austin have sold their organ. Another one has been ordered. —The gold bracelet, which we mentioned last week, was found and returned to its owner. —F. W. Athearn has sold his house and lot on Centre Street to B. Benneracheidt for $800. —The city lot advertised for sale, is a real bargain. If we had money enough, we would buy it. —We understand that Dr. Ellis has sold his land in Westminster to Dr. McCoy. —The firm of Stewart & Hill have dissolved, Mr. Stewart retiring. The business will be carried on by Mr. Hill. —There was a fearful skirmishing for money last week. Taxes have ATTACHED — Anaheim Volunteer Fire Company No. 1, whose birth gave promise of a long and brilliant future, seems doomed to an untimely and inglorious end. That pretty red truck, and those picturesque green buckets, have been attached, and so have the axes and ladders, but we believe that they have been detached from the truck house and are now scattered about town in a manner that will defy the efforts of the Constables to "gather them in." The catastrophe was caused by the Steinbart Bro's appearing before Judge Kohler, and in the most solemn manner, swearing that the Company was indebted to them for sundry articles, to the amount of $33, and as that was just about the amount required by the junior member of the firm, to enable him to proceed to South America, they urged the Judge to take the necessary steps to sell the Company's apparatus, and liquidate their little bill. And now comes Heimann & George with a bill of $38, which they naturally wish paid. The sale will take place on next Monday. We hear that some of our citizens contemplate the organization of another fire company, and the purchase of the apparatus. THE DALL — The old year was, figuratively speaking, kicked out by the Anaheim Turn Verein, at their ball on Wednesday evening. Enterprise Hall was beautifully festooned for the occasion, with RICHLAND — Our pond sends us the port of the ball giving Richland. Last night we attained Orange Hall, giving gentlemen of Richland Santa Ana, and under the management Brown, J. B. Travis M. Hayward, F. C. Abbott. The music by the Stine Brothers company consisted of as genteel as we ever met in a music was, as it always management of the best. The occasion was the day by our friend, Mr. Richland.

The business will be carried on by Mr. Hill. —There was a fearful skirmishing for money last week. Taxes have to be paid, even if you borrow your neighbor's last cent. —No new cases of scarlatina have appeared during the week, and those who were attacked have nearly recovered. —Constable Pullen gives notice, that on the 24th of January, he will sell the house and lot situated on the corner of 1st North and Lemon streets. —We understand that Mr. Furlong has secured the position of teacher of the Richland school, and has bought a tract of land in that beautiful place. Mr.C.B. Bigsby, traveling agent of the Southern California Mutual Aid Association, is in town, canvassing for members. He is meeting with flattering success. —One acre of land in Southern California can be made to yield as great a clear profit, by semi-tropical nut and fruit culture, as twenty to fifty acres in the Eastern States devoted to ordinary farming. —a party of eight Philadelphiaans have come to Anaheim to spend the winter. Their quarters are at the Planters' Hotel. Philadelphia, it may be remembered, is in the State of Pennsylvania. —Through the efforts of F.A. Korn & Co., the different kinds of Anaheim wines will be kept at the Los Angeles hotels, and the "Planter's favorite" will occupy a conspicuous position on the bill of fare. —Should a severe frost occur this year, the comparative merits of early and late pruning, will be fully tested. Some vineyards were pruned a month ago, while there are several whose owners do not intend to prune for two-months yet. Guinn had some hailed hay for will take place on next Monday. We hear that some of our citizens contemplate the organization of another fire company, and the purchase of the apparatus. THE DALL—The old year was, figuratively speaking, kicked out by the Anabeim Turn Verein, at their ball on Wednesday evening. Enterprise Hall was beautifully festooned for the occasion, with wreaths of boxing gloves, foils, dumb bells, etc., while leaping boards and clubs, were intertwined in a manner which reflected great credit on the committee under whose supervision the decorations were made. The Company was the most recherche ever assembled in Anaheim; the supper — provided by Menzel—was the chef d'œuvre of that renowned caterer, while the excellence of the music was the subject of much favorable comment. Financially, the affair was a huge success, so much so as to cause a slight discussion among the members of the Verein, as to the proper disposition of the funds. Some are in favor of the erection of a building similar to the Odd Fellow's Hall, while others are in favor of a less ambitious structure. It is to be hoped that the different views will be reconciled, and the matter adjusted without producing any serious dissension among the members. IMMENSE—We acknowledge the receipt of a number of most delicious strawberries, a very unusual New Year's present anywhere but in California. They were of immense size—the largest measuring over four inches in circumference, while none of them could have measured less than three inches. The donor was Mrs. Parker, whose garden, distant only about a mile from Anaheim, would be an excellent place for our Eastern friends to visit. Amongst the many flowers which are now blooming in all their beauty, in her garden, are the Tube Rose, Pholxdrummandi, Stock Jelly Flowers, Petunias, China Pinks, Double Dianthas, Verbenas, Asparagus, Canna, Mignonnette, A FINE ANIMALS shown yesterday, buck recently purchased E.

Should a severe frost occur this year, the comparative merits of early and late pruning, will be fully tested. Some vineyards were pruned a month ago, while there are several whose owners do not intend to prune for two-months yet. Guinn had some baled hay for sale, and advertised that fact in the Californian. Guinn sold all his hay in two weeks, and suffers much annoyance from the visits of persons desiring to purchase. Now, what is the moral? On last Sunday, a lady's parasol was lost, either in Richland, or on the road between Richland and Anaheim. Is was a very nice parasol, and if the finder will return it to this office he will oblige a very nice lady. Posters printed at this office and distributed around town, inform the public that Steinhart & Bro. are about to retire from business, and will sell the remainder of their stock at San Francisco prices, for cash. "Jawbone is played out," says Morris. A.S. Addis, the popular Photographic artist, has arrived with his tasty portable house, built expressly for the business. Wherever he has been, his work is mentioned in terms of the highest encomium. His prices are reasonable, and we would advise all who desire first-class photographs, to visit him at once, as he intends making but a limited stay, owing to other engagements. Call and see him, next door to the office of the Californian. RICHLAND.—Our Richland correspondent sends us the following report of the ball given at that place: Richland, Dec. 26 1873. Last night we attended the ball at Orange Hall, given by the young gentlemen of Richland, Tustin City, Santa Ana, and Gospel Swamp, under the management of James M. Brown, J. B. Travis, C. Travis, A. M. Hayward, F. C. Curtis and T. Abbott. The music was furnished by the Stine Brothers' band. The company consisted of sixty-seven couple, of as genteel young people as we ever met in a ball-room. The music was, as it always is under the management of the Stine Brothers, of the best. The ball used on this occasion, was the one newly built by our friend, Mr. Beach, P. M. of Richland. We noticed Capt. Glassell with his always courteous smile, Dr. Beach with his amiable Lady, Mr. Bowers and sisters, of Richland, Mr. Spurgeon, of Santa Ana, Miss Travis, of Richland, Miss Hayward of Iowa, Dr. Hayward, wife and daughter, in fact it is hard to tell who stayed away. Dancing commenced at 7 o'clock, and continued until 5 in the morning, when all retired to their homes, having spent a night long to be remembered with pleasure. A FINE ANIMAL. — We were shown, yesterday, a fine Angora buck, recently purchased by Mr. J. E. Bacon, of San Juan Capistrano. The animal is only two years old, and Information Wanted. Chiefman P. O., St. Louis Mo. December 20th, 1873. Dr. James Ellis, Dear Sir:—I noticed your advertisement in the Southern California, and would like some information respecting your property in Westminster Colony. Is the latter a part of Anaheim? If not, how far is it from Anaheim, and what is its precise location? On the coast, a navigable stream, inland, distance from other towns and villages surrounding it, etc., etc? Do winds prevail in summer, and is it subject to frosts? Is it in a fruit-growing or pastoral district? What is the nature of the country surrounding it? Well settled and by what kind of people? What churches have you and what religious sect predominates? Have you been practicing in that locality? If so, what would be my chances to succeed you provided you wished to discontinue or give up the location altogether? Please answer at your earliest convenience and let me know everything of interest connected with your property and the surrounding country. I know nothing of your State except from description, but have been making arrangements and hope to be able to move in a short time. Respectfully Yours, R. B. Garnett, M. D. The Westminster colony lies in the Anaheim valley, between the who stayed away. Dancing commenced at 7 o'clock, and continued until 5 in the morning, when all retired to their homes, having spent a night long to be remembered with pleasure. A FINE ANIMAL. — We were shown, yesterday, a fine Angora buck, recently purchased by Mr. J. E. Bacon, of San Juan Capistrano. The animal is only two years old, and is seven-eights pure blood. We measured some of the staple and found it nearly eight inches in length. There is no doubt but that it is one of the finest Angora goats in the county, and in due time will well repay its owner for the outlay. Mr. Bacon intends to go quite extensively into the business of raising mohair, fully believing that it will at no distant day be one of the most remunerative industries. LETTER LIST. — Letters uncalled for during the week ending Jan. 2nd, 1874, at the Anaheim Postoffice: F II Adams, Jose Maria Acuña, George Adams, H H Bausman, A W Brass, J W Crook, Dr Campbell, C L Dodge, James F Ellison, Perry Hilton, Charles Harter, Lee Hunter, II Kroeger, Concepcion Melendres, David Putney, Gustaf Rust, F Raynes, James Regan, T H Shelly, Mrs J S Smyth, C Stappenbeck, A H Spencer, A Schenk.

INSTALLATION.—On last Saturday afternoon, Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M. held a special meeting for the purpose of installing the following officers: Theo. Reiser, W. M; Fred W. Athearn, S. W; Richard Melrose, J. W.; M. L. Goodman, Treasurer; P. A. Clark, Secretary; E A. Pullen, S. D; W. N. Hardin, J. D.; D. Evey and Wm Crowther, Stewards; C.C. Switzer, Marshal; R.D. Curtis, Tyler. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. — At the regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I. O. O. F., held on Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: know everything of interest connected with your property and the surrounding country. I know nothing of your State except from description, but have been making arrangements and hope to be able to move in a short time. Respectfully Yours, R.B.GARNETT, M.D. The Westminster colony lies in the Anaheim valley, between the town of Anaheim and the sea, and is distant seven miles from Anaheim and four from the sea. There are no navigable streams in Southern California. The valley contains six hundred square miles of first quality bottom land, equal to the best part of the Ohio or Mississippi bottoms. The land is admirably suited for pasturage or general farming, and most of it is adapted to the growth of semi-tropical and temperate fruits. Cotton and tobacco yield large crops, and a large area is covered with a growth of grasses which are always green. On nearly the whole extent, flowing artesian wells can be obtained by boring a moderate depth, at a small expense. Frosts are rare and severe frosts are unknown. Anaheim was originally a German settlement, and is famous for its production of wine. Most of the inhabitants of the valley are from the Atlantic States, North and South. Religious sects comprise Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Methodists and Catholics, which have regular services. The country is so lamentably healthy that it is hard upon Physicians, but people from carelessness do occasionally get sick, and unavoidable accidents occur in our best regulated families. This section is sure to become the great resort of invalids from all parts of the United States. At present, physicians all carry on some other business to eke out their practice. COUNTY DIVISION.—In a few days a petition will be circulated for signatures throughout the County, praying the Legislature to grant a division of Los Angeles County. The movers in this matter intend to make an energetic and thorough canvass, and have the petition for... ELECTION OF OFFICERS. — At the regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, l. O. O. F., held on Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: P. C. McKinnie, N. G.; F. R. Lafaucherie, V. G.; Max Nebelung, R. S.; R. Menzel, Treasurer, H. A. Boege, P. S. The newly elected officers will be installed on Tuesday, January 6th. 1874. CHURCH NOTICES. — We are requested to state that the Rev. J. E. Miller of the M. E. Church South, will preach in the Presbyterian church on the fourth Sunday in each month, at 3 o'clock P. M.... Services will be held in the Catholic church on the 11th. of January by the Rev. Philip Farley. CLOSED. — The branch store of the Los Angeles Woolen Mills was closed yesterday and the goods remaining on hand sent back to Los Angeles. It may be possible that the establishment of a store for the exclusive sale of woolen goods, was premature, but we think that a longer trial was necessary to demonstrate that fact. WILL NOT QUALIFY. — We are informed that N. D. Harwood, the recently appointed Postmaster of Orange, will not qualify. Dr. Bench will continue to discharge his arduous duties. At present, physicians all carry on some other business to eke out their practice. COUNTY DIVISION. — In a few days a petition will be circulated for signatures throughout the County, praying the Legislature to grant a division of Los Angeles County. The movers in this matter intend to make an energetic and thorough canvass, and have the petition forwarded to Sacramento without any unnecessary delay. VINEYARD FOR SALE. — Frank R. Lafaucherie will sell the property known as the Cahill vineyard at a great bargain, it applied for soon. Read his advertisement. ILL. — We are pained to learn that Mr. Francis S. Miles is seriously ill at San Bernardino. As soon as the weather permits, he will return to Anaheim to recuperate. RECOVERING. — It is with pleasure we chronicle the recovery of Mrs. Fischer from her late serious illness. The indications are that she will soon regain her natural good health. THE RAIN. — It commenced raining yesterday morning, and at 5 o'clock last evening, the rain-gauge showed three fourths of an inch. BORN. BOWLEY. — In Westminster, Dec. 28th, to the wife of F. Bowley, a son. MABRIED. SNODGRASS — McCOY. — In Husumbe, Ventura county, December 24th, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. R.J. Colyear, Mr. Andrew Snodgrass to Miss Addie B. McCoy.
