Southern Californian SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1874. Kleinigheiten. The Monte Commissioners meet at El Monte to-morrow. Mr. Louis Mendelson of the San Rafael Mining District is in town. Three-sixteenth of an inch of rain fell on Saturday and Sunday. Ex-Sheriff Burns is in Los Angeles. Teams loaded with wool, are arriving at Anaheim Landing every day. Sin Si Wann, indicted for nuisance was found "Not Guilty" and discharged. Read the time table of the Anaheim Branch Line in our advertising columns. San Juan Capistrano is getting up a water petition for presentation to the Superintendent of Irrigation. There is a letter at the Post office addressed to Jose Duarte, hold for want of proper direction. The friends of Capt. W. T. Glassell of Orange will be pleased to learn that he is rapidly recovering his wonted health. Until the first day of July the poll tax will be $200. After that time it will be considered delinquent and one dollar will be added. Clark & Austin have received another invoice of choice candies. Among the notable arrivals of the past week were S. K. Holman, formerly of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and our good friend, Dr. Griffin of Los Angeles. The doctor was merely recreating Limself in the companionship of his many warm friends, but we understand that it is Mr. Holman's intention to locate permanently in this place. Mr. Frank R. Lafancherie has been appointed agent for several kinds of agricultural machinery, and we would refer our readers to his advertisement for more minute particulars. He informed us confidentially, that he can undersell, and give better terms, than any other middle man that treads Anaheim soil. Much annoyance has been caused lately by the many drunken Indians, lying around the street. It would be well for those who have been guilty of supplying them with "fire-water" to be more guarded in the future, inasmuch as selling liquor to an Indian is a misdemeanor, and punishable with fine and imprisonment. The taxes levied by the Trustees of Anaheim School District are now due and are payable to A. W. Steinbart, Collector, at his office in the store of P. Davis & Bro. All assessments remaining unpaid on the 5th day of June next will become delinquent with the same penalties as are attached to State and County taxes.

Glassell of Orange will be pleased to learn that he is rapidly recovering his wonted health. Until the first day of July the poll tax will be $200. After that time it will be considered delinquent and one dollar will be added. Clark & Austin have received another invoice of choice candies from R. C. Reed's manufactory at Los Angeles. The notches on our tally-stick show that we are well advanced in the month of April, but the wind of the past week would lead a stranger to believe that it was still March. A communication from our esteemed Westminster correspondent has been received too late for publication in this issue. It will appear next week. The meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company has been postponed until today at 3 o'clock p.m. All are earnestly requested to attend as business of importance will be transacted. For the convenience of those attending the ball on the 25th inst., Menzel will keep his restaurant open from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Coffee oysters, etc. will be the chief dainties. We understand that an effort will be made to induce the artesian-well-borer, who is now in Los Angeles, to bring his machinery to Anaheim. Mr. Sheffield will sink for artesian water on his vineyard. Ex Senator Maclay has purchased the San Fernando ranch in this county. This rancho embraces 55,000 acres of land, and it is the intention of the owner to divide it into small tracts. We would call attention to the advertisement of Dr. C. J. Phillips, a dentist of reputation, who will soon take up his abode in our midst. Those desiring his services are notified that he will be in Anaheim on the 28th and 29th inst. We call attention to the advertisement of J. II. Gooch, ornamental Sign and Carriage painter. Mr. The taxes levied by the Trustees of Anaheim School District are now due and are payable to A. W. Steinbart, Collector, at his office in the store of P. Davis & Bro. All assessments remaining unpaid on the 5th day of June next will become delinquent with the same penalties as are attached to State and County taxes. Judgment was filed in the case of Kraemer vs. Kraemer on Thursday, and ten day's stay of proceedings granted. The judgment was that Mrs. Kraemer should be granted a divorce, be given the custody of her daughters, and retain as her property all moneys in her possession, and that defendant should retain exclusive possession of the "Kraemer tract" and be granted the custody of the boys. Odd Fellows' Festival. Next Saturday the Odd-Fellows of Anaheim and Orange will celebrate the anniversary of their natal day by an open air festival in the grounds of the late Major Stroble, to be followed by a dance at Enterprise Hall in the evening of the same day. The programme of exercises will be announced in the next issue of the Californian. An inspection of the names of the gentlemen, composing the committee of arrangements will prove to every one that it will be a most enjoyable affair, and that much pleasure will be lost by those who are so unfortunate as to be absent. The Bolsa Chica Wharf. We have been requested to publish the following notice: All persons interested in having a wharf constructed at Bolsa Chica Landing are requested to meet at Enterprise Hall on Wednesday evening, April 22nd. Many Citizens. The locality at which it is proposed to construct a wharf, is situated about the same distance from Anaheim as Anaheim Landing and is connected with the first-named place by a road, which is located for the entire distance on hard ground. By an examination, made by the Coast Survey last year, it was shown that a depth of seventeen feet of water at low tide could be reached by a wharf eighteen hundred feet in length. We understand that several wealthy gentlemen are interesting themselves in the enterprise, and that they look favorably upon it.

Phillips, a dentist of reputation, who will soon take up his abode in our midst. Those desiring his services are notified that he will be in Anaheim on the 28th and 29th inst. We call attention to the advertisement of J. H. Gooch, ornamental sign and carriage painter. Mr. Gooch has recently removed from Ventura county and brings with him a reputation as an experienced and skillful workman. Delegations from the different Granges in this county leave on the steamer to-morrow for San Francisco, at which place a meeting of delegates will be held on Tuesday day next, in accordance with a resolution passed at the last session of the State Grange. The Eureka Mantel and Grate Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, have appointed Messrs. J. L. Ward & Co. of Los Angeles, their agents for the sale of their wares in Southern California. The mantels manufactured by this company are unsurpassed in durability and finish. Send to the agents for an illustrated catalogue. Mr. J. L. Ward, agent of the Goodall, Nelson and Perkins' line of Steamships, has been visiting our section. We are assured that this company are determined to continue their Steamers on this coast. Mr. Perkins will soon visit this section and make arrangements for the regular sailing of their vessels. Rumors of Vasquez. A dispatch came to Deputy Sheriff Byrd on Thursday morning, stating that Vasquez, with four men, had been seen in the vicinity of the old Mission San Gabriel, and instructing him to start in pursuit with a posse of six men. Owing to a want of horses, it was impossible to comply with these instructions until too late. We learn by the Los Angeles Express that on the same day Sheriff Rowland, with posse left Los Angeles for the same purpose, and although they approached so nearly to the party as to be enabled to see their features, they had made no capture up to the latest account. It appears that the party, supposed to be Vasquez and followers, had gone to the house of one A. Retpetto and demanded $300 from him. They gave him a certain time to raise this amount and allowed him to send a boy to Los Angeles to cash a check. By this boy Mr. Rowland was informed of the presence of the bandits and upon his report the pursuit was organized. The robbers retreated up the Arroyo Seco towards the Tajunga mountain. Resolutions of H.A.T.A. At a regular meet, Grange, held at the Anaheim, on March following resolution mously adopted: Whereas, The son, Grover & Bake Weed, Wilson, and ing Machine Comfit to revoke their with the State therefore, Resolved, That of Fairview Grange ourselves not to p named companies. Resolved, That instructed to furn resolution for p Southern Califor Rural Press.. Mr. Stephen Hammett. 'A highly appreciative and large audience assembled at Enterprise Hall on Thursday evening to listen to Col. Pipes' serious and comical monologue, and we fully endorse all that the San Diego and Los Angeles papers have said in his praise. His gifts are certainly very extraordinary and multifarious, and as one of his critics remarks of his performances, "it is amusing, witty, mirth-provoking, piquant, racy, pungent, lively, pathetic, sentimental, unique, side-splitting, suspender-wrenching, button-hole-ripping, laugh-and-grow fat sort of a lecture." He is without doubt the finest executionist we ever heard, and as the San Diego World remarked, 'there are pathetic tones in his voice that move his audience to tears,' but then again his facial expression and the contortions of his countenance are something marvelously droll. After he had given Tom Hood's "Artificial Man" who takes himself to pieces before retiring, he gave with great comic power, "The Young Husband's Dilemma," where a young bride astonishes her youthful hubby by removing some of her artificial appendages. In this matchless bit of comic acting he fairly convulsed the audience with laughter, the ladies screaming with delight. The poem, we understand, was written by a Mr. Amos Kendall Jones, and first appeared in the Ventura Signal. It is certainly one of the most irresistibly funny things out, and must be heard recited by Letter From Haswell. Editor Southern California: I have one fault to find in your article of the 11th, entitled "evil results from imperfect laws," and that is that it naturally prejudices a case that is in litigation when the very question of title, or of right of possession, is in question. Devoe, the plaintiff in said action, and myself, do not ask, and I would not claim a right for myself, or for a client, that after an investigation of the merits I could not sustain a title or a right thereto in a court of competent jurisdiction. But I do hold that a settler upon lands, paying taxes thereon, sustaining as far as he is liable the revenue of the State, should not be prejudiced in an action to maintain his rights. The San Bernardino and Los Angeles Land Co. refuse and have refused to pay taxes on nearly all of the land in question, and if they want to be like the fabled dog in the manger — neither let the horse eat nor eat themselves—let them pay the expenses. It is not right for any monopoly to claim lands contiguous to their grants and lease the same or exercise any ownership for the purpose of preventing actual and bonafide settlers thereon. I want it distinctly understood that I have not and will not work for, or lend my influence to deprive any person or corporation of any rights, legal and vested in them, but I do claim that it is better for the welfare of the community to have all claims of large grants legally settled and decided. Respectfully, Geo. F. Haswell, Attorney for Donec "NOTHING BUT LEAVES” — The Presbyterian Church was filled on Sunday evening last to listen to a very brief and elequent sermon from the above text, most beautifully delivered by Mr. Stephen Massett. It is the composition of the Rev. Mr. Alwood, of Silent, Massachusetts, and presented to Mr. Massett by that gentlemen on board the steamship “William Penn” on her voyage from Havre, France to New York. At its conclusion Mr. Massett gave the “Lord’s Prayer,” in so pathetic a manner as to move many in the audience to tears. Indeed we have never heard it rendered so exquisitely, and our brethren of the Press in San Diego are quite right in their high praise of this gentleman’s wonderful rendering of these words. We fully endorse the World’s and Union’s articles upon this subject. ADVICE TO SHEEP MEN. — Now that shearing has fully commenced, we would suggest one thing to our sheep raising brethren. Much complaint has been made, and perhaps not without cause, of the general dirtiness of our Southern California wool, which complaint has done much to depreciate the value of our wool in market. Much of this can be obviated by a little care and attention in shearing and tying the fleeces. Shear the sheep on a floor prepared for that purpose, and keep that floor clean. Sweep it after each pen full of sheep are sheared, and lease the same or exercise any ownership for the purpose of preventing actual and bona fide settlers thereon. I want it distinctly understood that I have not and will not work for, or lend my influence to deprive any person or corporation of any rights, legal and vested in them, but I do claim that it is better for the welfare of the community to have all claims of large grants legally settled and decided Respectfully, GEO.

Much complaint has been made, and perhaps not without cause, of the general dirtiness of our Southern California wool, which complaint has done much to depreciate the value of our wool in market. Much of this can be obviated by a little care and attention in shearing and tying the fleeces. Shear the sheep on a floor prepared for that purpose, and keep that floor clean. Sweep it after each pen full of sheep are sheared, and in gathering up the locks of wool that are scattered around be careful to shake out the tags. Keep the tying bench clean, and in tying the fleeces pick out all the tags and throw them under the bench to be sacked separately. Our wools this year will be remarkably clean and free from burrs and seed, and if a little attention is paid to handling, there is no reason why the wool of Southern California should not command a name and a price in the market.
