A. Clark engaged a couple of gentlemen to sink his well which had become dry. They made some necessary preparations late one afternoon, and on the following morning, ere the sun had made its appearance, they were on the ground ready to resume their labors. The well was of considerable depth, and consequently an inky darkness and gloom overspread the bottom. One of the laborers on descending into the well, was horror-struck to perceive a huge monster, whose eyes seemed to blaze with all the phosphorescent fires of the realms of his Satanic majesty, crouched in one corner. With a yell of offight and an agility born of extreme terror, he clambered up the rope, and with ashy face and quivering lip related to his "pard" the fearful sight that had met his vision. After a hurried consultation, they procured several guns and other dread munitions of war, and commenced a fusilade into the well, and for half an hour the reveberations of compressed gunpowder disturbed the serenity which usually prevails in that rural neighborhood, and gathered together a number of youths, who took a lively interest in the proceedings. When the ammunition gave out, one of the youths aforementioned, with a bravery peculiar to unreflecting boyhood, volunteered to descend into the well and bring forth the dead monster—if dead it was. His services were accepted; he accomplished the descent in safety; and LOS ANGELES MONEY OFFICE Our Bee-Keeper Imitated Market Report by Anson, Bee-Keeper Meeting at Monda, 1801.

Menzel's restaurant will be open this evening from 10 o'clock P.M. until 2 o'clock A.M. Parties wishing supper or refreshments will be served at the shortest notice. We have had so many applications for copies of Bush's Irrigation Bill, that we have determined to reprint it. It will appear in our next issue. In the case of Angle vs. Mitchell, tried by jury on Thursday before Justice Clark, for the recovery of the value of two horses and personal services, a judgment was awarded to plaintiff for $90 75. A school exhibition will be given at the school house in Westminster, on the evening of May 4th. In order to obtain funds to purchase scientific apparatus for the use of the school, an admission fee of twenty-five cents will be charged. Latest accounts state that Vasquez is completely surrounded. Harry Morse and party guard the northern slope of the Soledad range, Rowland with posse are deployed in front of Los Angeles, and Albert Johnson closes the gap at Lyon's Station, making his capture a dead certainty, should he attempt to take the down train for Los Angeles. During the present week contracts have been made with Messrs. Brown & Champlin for the erection of new buildings. Amongst them we notice a dwelling house, 28x34 feet, for Mr. Halberstadt of the firm of Halberstadt & Co. at Anaheim Landing, a saoon 20x30 feet, on Los Angeles Street for F. Conrad, and an addition to Mr. Luedke's house, 12x30 feet. All of them to be hard finished. On Tuesday afternoon information was received by Justice Bailey that a sheep-herder in the employ usually prevails in that rural neighborhood, and gathered together a number of youths, who took a lively interest in the proceedings. When the ammunition gave out, one of the youths aforementioned, with a bravery peculiar to unreflecting boyhood, volunteered to descend into the well and bring forth the dead monster—if dead it was. His services were accepted; he accomplished the descent in safety; and on being brought up, he, with a snort of disdain, and a contemptuous twist of his left ear, flung down at the feet of the awe-stricken well-sinkers—a dead cat. Richland.—The Richland public school was opened on last Monday. More than seventy pupils are in attendance and it is expected that by next week the number of names will reach or exceed one hundred. The school is under the management of Mr. Robert Furlong, as Principal assisted by Miss Isabel Squires in the primary department. The additional facilities for instruction now afforded will greatly conduce to the advancement of the pupils. Grading and classifying the scholars in conformity with the new regulations of the school law has been the principal work of the week. The building recently completed for a primary and intermediate department is attached to the main building, and furnished throughout with the best approved style of patent school furniture. A similar addition is contemplated being built next year, when the original plan of the house will be complete. Richland may well be proud of her school, for during the present session it will rank in grade and course of studies as high as any school in the county, outside of Los Angeles city. The Fair and Concert—Our musical critic sauntered into Enterprise Hall the other evening, and listened to some very superior music, vocal and instrumental, by the ladies and gentlemen who will entertain the people of Anaheim on next Wednesday evening.

All of them to be hard finished. —On Tuesday afternoon information was received by Justice Bailey that a sheep-berder in the employ of Mr. Jordan had been killed in his cabin, near Kraemer's ranch. Judge Bailey empanelled a jury and at once proceeded to the locality. Arriving there, the man was found lying dead with a bullet hole through his right temple and a Celt's pistol lying near his feet. The verdict of the jury was that his name was Auguste Bouchet, that he was a native of France, aged 23 years, and that he had received his death from a pistol, fired by himself. —On Thursday night, a Frenchman selected as a camping place, the ranch of W.J. Smith, which lies about three miles northwest of Anaheim. On awakening the next morning Mr. Smith was surprised and chagrined at the metamorphosis which had been accomplished during the night. In an interview with the Frenchman he claimed two hundred dollars as payment for the damage which he had sustained. After some conversation, however, the matter was referred to Dr. D'Assonville for arbitration, who decided that Mr.Frenchman should pay $89, which he promptly did. THE FAIR AND CONCERT — Our musical critic sauntered into Enterprise Hall the other evening, and listened to some very superior music, vocal and instrumental, by the ladies and gentlemen who will entertain the people of Anaheim on next Wednesday evening. They possess dramatic as well as musical talent, and barrin' the lamentable ignorance of French on the part of some of the gentlemen, who would persist in pronouncing trousseau, trowers, they rehearsed their parts exceedingly well. We can assure those attending the entertainment, that a rare feast of mirth and music awaits them, and trust, therefore, that a crowded house will reward the exertions made by the originators of the concert. MAY-DAY FESTIVAL — We would call attention to the invitation extended to all by the Patrons of Husbandry of Fairview, Orange, Westminster and Fruitland Granges, to unite with them in their May-day festival, to be held near Tustin City on Friday next, (May Ist.) Every preparation in the way of orations, music and edibles has been made by the committee of arrangements to provide entertainment for all of whatever age they may be. A good time has been promised, and that the promise will fall far short of the realization we confidently believe. ANAHEIM WATER DISTRICT — A petition is in circulation around town asking for the creation of a water district under the Irrigation Law. Copies of the petition can be found at Clark's, or at the Hotel. LOS ANGELES THE PREMIUM HONEY COUNTY OF THE STATE! Our Bee-Keepers' Brands Efficiency imitated - The best way to Market the Crop-An Interesting Report by Mr. John T. Gordon, of Azusa, to the Los Angeles Co. Bee-Keepers' Association at its Meeting at Jones' Hotel, in El Monte, 18th April, 1874. The Bee-Keepers' Association of Los Angeles county held its regular meeting on Saturday, April 18th, 1874, at Jones' Hotel, El Monte. John T. Gordon, of Azusa, presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. No reports from standing committees being presented, Capt. Gordon, the delegate appointed at the last meeting to visit San Francisco to arrange for a more satisfactory disposition of the Los Angeles county honey crop, reported. It was resolved that the several newspapers of the county be respectfully requested to publish such report. Samples of bottles manufactured at the Pacific Glass Works, suitable for strained or extracted honey, and a frame section box, patented by J. S. Harbison, Esq., of Sacramento, and particularly adapted to shipping honey as taken from the bive, were brought to the attention of the Association by Capt. Gordon. They received general commendation. Propositions in writing, from sundry commission merchants in San Francisco, relative to handling the honey crop, were laid before the Association, and duly considered. The Association having resolved to concentrate honey consignments to one house in San Francisco, proceeded to select a consignee from those who made formal propositions. Mossrs. Drake & Emerson, 521 and investment in honey stock: One merchant informed me that he purchased a lot of strained honey from a brother commission merchant at $4 cents, and shipped it eastward realizing for it 15 cents. Comb honey is in much more active demand than strained or extracted. There is an unlimited demand for comb honey, in Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. A commission house in San Francisco had an order from a merchant in Silver City, Idaho, for comb honey. It was bought in San Francisco at 30 cents and forwarded. It gave great satisfaction, the Silver City merchant remarking that for such honey, the demand was without limit. Strained honey, for the retail trade in San Francisco, is put up in all sized bottles and glass jars, from one-half pound bottles to a ten pound jar, all handsomely labelled in the name of "Pure Los Angeles Honey," although it may have been produced at Red Bluffs, Sacramento or San Jose. The Pacific Glass Works, in San Francisco, are prepared to supply bottles and jars of any desired size at short notice. A price list is here with presented for the information of any member wishing to procure them. I close with the remark, that my opinions on this subject, as heretofore expressed to the Association, have been strengthened by what I saw and heard in San Francisco. A much better and remunerative price can be obtained for our Los Angeles honey; but that desirable end can only be secured by a harmonious and united effort of the Bee-keepers in the county. The course, heretofore pursued in disposing of our honey, if continued will most probably result in further depressing its price for the coming season. Respectfully submitted... brought to the attention of the Association by Capt. Gordon. They received general commendation. Propositions in writing, from sun-dry commission merchants in San Francisco, relative to handling the honey crop, were laid before the Association, and duly considered. The Association having resolved to concentrate honey consignments to one house in San Francisco, proceeded to select a consignee from those who made formal propositions. Messrs. Drake & Emerson, 521 and 523, Sansome street, was the choice of the Association. The Secretary was instructed to communicate the foregoing to the absent members of the Bee Keepers' Association, and request their written concurrence. The President was requested to advise Messrs. Drake & Emerson of the action of the meeting. The Association adjourned, to meet at the same place at 11 o'clock a.m., the third Saturday in May, (the 16th.). Wm. M. Rasmussen, Sect'y. REPORT OF JOHN T. GORDON, GENTLEMEN: In response to your desire, I proceeded to San Francisco on March 4th, 1874, to investigate more fully the question, "How to dispose of the honey crop of Los Angeles county to the best advantage?" I communicated with many prominent commission Louses; with several heavy honey retailers, in the markets; several Packing houses and Preserve factories, over twenty concerns in all whose names are appended. Our present mode of packing, handling and selling honey was discussed and thoroughly looked into. Some of the largest Commission Houses declined to have anything to do with honey, because they could not give it the necessary attention. Others were quite willing to undertake the business, but as they seemed not to comprehend its necessities, they were considered incompetent for our purposes. Several firms, after due consideration, made propositions in writing, which are herewith respectfully submitted for the consideration of the Association. The result of my observations in San Francisco are as follows: The annual honey product of California is several hundreds of tons. That, produced outside of Southern California, is of low grade. Notwithstanding its inferiority, it is almost invariably palmed upon the consumer as "Pure Los Angeles" honey. Fine grades of honey, such as are produced in Los Angeles and San Diego counties and a few other circumscribed localities, readily retails in San Francisco at 25¢ lb for strained and 35¢ lb for comb Local Market Report.

PROWENFIELD, Anaheim, New York The result of my observations in San Francisco are as follows: The annual honey product of California is several hundreds of tons. That, produced outside of Southern California, is of low grade. Notwithstanding its inferiority, it is almost invariably palmed upon the consumer as "Pure Los Angeles" honey. Fine grades of honey, such as are produced in Los Angeles and San Diego counties and a few other circumscribed localities; readily retails in San Francisco at 25¢ per lb for strained, and 35¢ per lb for comb in frames. The wholesale price for same grades, vibrates between 6 and 14¢ per lb, averaging say 10 cents. Why such a difference in the retail and wholesale prices of the same honey? In my opinion, it is attributable to sundry causes, but principally to the fact that commission merchants pay but little attention to assorting or grading honey. They have consignments from the Sacramento river section of the State and from Los Angeles on hand at the same time, and it is offered for sale together and at the same price. The shrewd retail dealer is familiar with the Los Angeles brands of honey and selects his purchase from said brands and at the same figures at which the whole lot is put upon the market. Some of the commission merchants manipulate their consignments in their own interests. That is, they give their consignor credit for the sale of his honey; while they repack it in small cans and appropriate the extra profits to themselves. This may be very honest and correct yet it can hardly be regarded as a legitimate commission transaction. Some commission houses speculate in "honey stock" in the same way that capitalists speculate in mining stocks, only not to such an extent, nor so recklessly, as they always make a happy hit with the P.
