Southern Californian SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1874. Kleinigheiten. The Board of Supervisors meet on Monday. Shearing is in full blast; and the aborigines are jubilant. The School Board of Equalization will conclude its labors to-day. Fairview Grange holds a special meeting at 2 o'clock P.M. to-day. We notice apples already formed on a tree belonging to Mr. L. Gunther. Jesse Parker proved to be the best boy skater, and won the prize, a gold ring, on last Saturday. Mr. Casey has retired from business. D.C. Hayward is now sole proprietor of the Richland nursery. Wm R. Olden, Esq., arrived yesterday from his recent trip to Sacramento. A three-pound boulder was excavated from Sheffield's well by Mr. David Davis, at a depth of 91 feet. Higby has some excellent cigars called "Pedro"—after the favorite game. And now they ascribe the defeat of County Division to the efforts of Stanford & Co. The suit of Macy and Engel At a meeting of Fairview Grange, held on last Saturday, Meersa. David Evey. J.D. Taylor and Theo. Reiser were elected Trustees. J.M. Guinn was elected Secretary, vice Ed Miles, resigned. The jury in the suit of Kraemer vs. Kraemer, rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Kraemer, both as to grounds of divorce and as to the ranch near Anaheim being community property. Ten days stay of proceedings was bad to enable defendant to argue on motion for judgment. Express. Friend Moossman has invited the Californian over to try his San Francisco Beer. We will accept as soon as possible. Our reporter went over and took two glasses and immediately got a new subscriber for the Southern Californian Moral: "Go thou and do likewise." There was a large meeting of stockholders in the Grange Cooperative Company held at Los Angeles on Tuesday. The first assessment is now due and payable to the Secretary, and must be paid before the first Tuesday of May. Subscriptions to the stock will be pushed in all the Granges of the county until that time, when the annual meeting of stockholders will be held to elect a new Board of Directors. PROF. FOWLER'S LECTURE. The initial lecture of Prof. Fowler on Thursday evening will attend... A three-pound boulder was excavated from Sheffield's well by Mr. David Davis, at a depth of 91 feet. Highly has some excellent cigars called "Pedro"—after the favorite game. And now they ascribe the defeat of County Division to the efforts of Stanford & Co. The suit of Macy and Engelhart against McGlaughlin, was dismissed for want of documentary evidence. Several jokes were perpetrated on All Fools' day, but all of them were antiquated and exceedingly venerable. Judge Clark will deal out justice to-day, according to law and evidence, in the suit of Richardson vs. Foss. We observed a soda-water wagon in town the other night. A certain evidence that summer is nigh at hand. The advertisement of P. Davis & Bro, will be found in this issue. No difficulty will be experienced in finding it. Some of the Analicim vineyards have been in bloom for more than a week, whilst in others not a speck of green can be seen. Attention is called to the advertisement of Prof. O. S. Fowler. He lectures this afternoon to ladies and in the evening to gentlemen. The loads of orange trees that we continually see passing through town, indicate a desire on the part of our farmers to improve and beautify their homes. We examined a lilliputian suit made by the irrepressible Mendelson for the young hoir to the Washington Market. Our tailor is good on small suits. In the case of the People vs. Sin Si Wau for misdemeanor the jury failed to agree. The case will be tried again during the coming week. We have been requested to announce that Dr. Hardin has procured some pure vaccine matter. Anxious mothers will do well to act accordingly. The Fein aid of the Presbyterian congregation is now due and payable to the Secretary, and must be paid before the first Tuesday of May. Subscriptions to the stock will be pushed in all the Granges of the county until that time, when the annual meeting of stockholders will be held to elect a new Board of Directors. PROF. FOWLER'S LECTURE. — The initial lecture of Prof. Fowler on Thursday evening was well attended. Nearly two hours were consumed by the Professor in his explanation of the phenomena of Phrenology. Under ordinary circumstances so long a lecture would be apt to tire the most intelligent audience, but the interest attached to his subject, and the manner of its delivery, had its effect upon the audience, who listened with a marked attention that was doubtless highly gratifying to such an enthusiast as the Professor. Forty continuous years of research into the mysteries of the science he advocates enables him to pour forth facts and arguments without falter or stumble although at times his language became a little too metaphysical for ordinary minds to grasp his ideas clearly. To compensate for this, however, he interspersed with a judicious hand, some excruciatingly funny anecdotes, told in an excruciatingly funny manner and all having a bearing upon his theme, which amused whilst it also instructed his audience. At the conclusion of his lecture he manipulated the head of a well-known citizen, whose character he analyzed with a degree of exactness which in itself went far to prove the truth of Phrenology. His lecture last night was delivered at so late an hour that it is impossible for us to give a resumé of the many excellent truths contained therein. SOME INFORMATION. — Judging from the difficulty experienced by the Deputy Assessor, Mr. J. J. Johnson, in the collection of taxes, we are led to believe that a number of tax-payers are not aware of the law under which he acts. For their benefit we quote the following sections of the Political Code: - A three-pound boulder was excavated from Sheffield's well by Mr. David Davis, at a depth of 91 feet. - Highly has some excellent cigars called "Pedro"—after the favorite game. - And now they ascribe the defeat of County Division to the efforts of Stanford & Co. - The suit of Macy and Engelhart against McGlaughlin, was dismissed for want of documentary evidence. - Several jokes were perpetrated on All Fools' day, but all of them were antiquated and exceedingly venerable. - Judge Clark will deal out justice to-day, according to law and evidence, in the suit of Richardson vs. Foss. - We observed a soda-water wagon in town the other night.

The Fair in aid of the Presbyterian Church will take place in about five weeks. In the meantime the preparations are being actively carried on. The social party at Dr. Hayward's hospitable mansion in Richland, on Thursday evening, was a decided success. Several couples from Anaheim attended and enjoyed themselves hugely. Mr. Milliken has rented from Messrs. Higby & Co., the store formerly occupied by the "Woolen Mill Depot," and will open, in a short time, an ice cream saloon, Mr. A. G. Beebe is now at work fitting up the interior of the store. We are sorry that business, and the decided objections of the ladies, prevented us from attending the lectures of Mrs. Larkins, and the public, therefore, are deprived of obtaining a knowledge of a highly interesting theme. The clearness and purity of our atmosphere was well illustrated the other morning. A gentleman, standing in his vineyard at six o'clock A.M., distinctly saw a steamer on the ocean. The distance could not have been less than eighteen miles. Some information. — Judging from the difficulty experienced by the Deputy Assessor, Mr. J. J. Johnson, in the collection of taxes, we are led to believe that a number of tax-payers are not aware of the law under which he acts. For their benefit we quote the following sections of the Political Code: Sec. 3820 The Assessor must collect the taxes on movable personal property when such taxes are not a lien upon real property. Sec. 3821 In the case provided for in the preceding section, at the time of making the assessment, or at any time before the first Monday of July, the Assessor may collect the taxes by seizure and sale of any personal property owned by the person against whom the tax is assessed. From the above sections, it will be seen that it is compulsory upon the Assessor to collect the taxes on personal property from those who are not owners of real estate. The tax this year is $2.10 upon the one hundred dollars, that being the rate of taxation for last year. Should the rate of taxation for 1874-5 be fixed at a higher figure then the balance due will be required to be paid at the regular time; but should the rate be less, then the balance due the tax-payer will be refunded upon application to the tax-collector. Norton—Tax-payers will please take notice that on and after Monday, April 6th, the school tax will be due and payable to me at my office in the store of P. Davis & Bro. A.W. Stimhart.

Biller Southern California: San Juan has improved some since our last visit; not with the rapid strides of Anaheim and its surrounding country, but still evincing signs of the incoming of thrift and the spirit of progression. The old landmarks—the Mission Church, with its picturesque ruins and ancient chime of bells, the long adobe residence of Don Juan Abila and its neighboring clustre of tumble-down houses—still remain to remind us of the good old days when cattle were plenty and exertion needless. A marked improvement has taken place in the hotel of our old friend, Iler. Comfortable rooms have succeeded the corral in which our good host was wont to huddle his weary guests, and the table now spread would please the most fastidious. Judge Egan still holds forth in the telegraph office; punishes offenders and dispenses justice with the same conscientiousness of bye-gone times. The Judge is a treasure to San Juan and a good genial friend to every one. Doores still distribute benzine and tangle-teo, besides keeping a very superior article of old rye, which proved sufficiently good to tempt even the palate of a newspaper correspondent. The town is well supplied with stores. Monsieur Olliver keeps a good assortment of all things necessary for the comfort of his French brethren, of which there are a-goodly number in this vicinity, engaged in sheep-raising. Mr. M. Mendelson is doing a lively business and keeps a well furnished store, one Lurie List.—The following is a list of letters remaining at Wells, Fargo & Co., Express: W Y Hoard, C Haine, T Scully, A Cooper, A T Croether, G Cota, R Mathown, D Kramer, C H Williams, M Valdivia, H Werten, O'Grange, F A Gates, J P Ellis. Packages: H Werten, E D Miles, Miss Hardin, M Grover, R Cummina. F. A. Korn & Co., in their collar under the Old-Fellow's Hall, have constantly on hand a full assortment of the best WINES and LIQUORS, which they sell at San Francisco-prices in quantities to suit.

Barter flying at the head of the columns. A careful inspection of the editorial columns, however, would have led us to suspect the author without this confirmation. Mr. Barter writes in style peculiarly his own — bold, graceful, vigorous and original. His "views concerning certain issues, general and local," are peculiarly "Barterian;" and we notice that for purposes of comparison, he draws upon his experience as City Attorney of Anahaim. We are heartily glad that Barter has at last reached a level so high above the "Bed-Rock," and hope that his experiences in that locality, which formed the subject of his last letter to the CALIFORNIAN, will never be repeated. An INTERESTING BOOK—Mr. A. H. Burton, of Los Nietos, is now canvassing this part of the county for subscribers to one of the most interesting books which we ever had the pleasure of reading. It is entitled a "History of the Grange Movement" by the celebrated author, Edward Winslow Martin, and was written by him under the supervision of a number of the leading members of the National Grange. It is a book of 534 pages, contains 60 engravings and is valuable to every one, giving as it does a complete and authentic history of the order. Its cost is only $3 50. Mr. Barton is also agent for "Bingele's History of the World" "History of the Artic Explorations," "Pacific law Encyclopedia" and "New Style Bible," all valuable works. THE CASH STORE!
