Anaheim Gazette GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY... JANUARY 9, 1875. Who shall be the next Governor? is a question which is just beginning to be again agitated. The favorite has not yet been named; but one thing should be done by the Southern Press of the State, and that is to unite their efforts in favor of a Southern California man. The oldest newspaper in the County, the Star of Los Angeles, came to its readers on Tuesday elud in an entirely new dress, improving if possible upon the rare excellence of make-up and matter, which has been its former characteristic. The Star is a first-class paper and Major Truman is a good fellow, an able writer, and always courteous in his intercourse with the editorial brotherhood; and we wish him and his paper a long-continued success, and a great deal of it. During its recent session the Board of Supervisors ordered a water election to be held in this vicinity, in accordance with the provisions of the Bush irrigation act, and appointed two water commissioners to fill vacancies in what has been known as Los Nietos water township, possibly under the provisions of an older enactment. The Bush bill vests the appointing power in the Superintendent of Irrigation. The question naturally arises, "Which enactment does the Board consider in force?" The publishers of the Gazette acknowledge the receipt of a very acceptable New Year's present in the shape of a letter, expressing in most complimentary terms an appreciation A NEW RESULT. One great trouble, heretofore existing in Anaheim, has been that land purchases in the town proper could not be made except in the original sub-divisions of twenty-acre lots. Real estate owners were not disposed to build on a venture. And thus it came to pass that many an industrious, hardworking stranger, who came here with the intention of remaining, found it impossible either to rent or purchase according to his means, and was compelled perforce to locate elsewhere. However, the folly of such a policy has been made apparent to some of our land-owners, and during the past three or four months, or since work was commenced upon the Anaheim Branch from Downey City hitherward, public sentiment has been gradually growing in favor of making what are popularly known as "Building Additions." By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that Messrs. Boege, Dreyfus and Davis Bros. have each placed upon the market an "Addition," and although this has been done in each instance so recently that to-day's issue of the Gazette contains their public notices for the first time, we understand that more than one-half of the lots, offered for sale, have been already disposed of. It is fortunate, too, for the continuance and further success of this movement that these additions are so located as not to clash with each other. The vineyard lot offered for sale by the Davis Bros.'s situated in a part of town which has been gradually filling up with private residences; whilst the "Dreyfus Addition," fronting directly on Centre street, the main avenue between the centre of town and the railway depot, recommends itself especially as a most eligible location for business houses. AROUND. Over 51,000 garages made last year for manufacture in L.A. The wine producer for the past season gallons. Sheriff Rowland Jones, as a witness People vs Vasque.

The Pacific Many has sold in San Diego line Kohl, of Hutel San Francisco January 7th. At the U.S. Angeles II,131 last year, 1,300 military warrains under the home under the minima. Nietos water township, possibly under the provisions of an older enactment. The Bush bill vests the appointing power in the Superintendent of Irrigation. The question naturally arises, "Which enactment does the Board consider in force?" The publishers of the Gazette acknowledge the receipt of a very acceptable New Year's present in the shape of a letter, expressing in most complimentary terms an appreciation of their efforts in keeping stride with the march of improvement, which has been so strikingly manifest in this section during the past year. It is rarely that newspaper men, outside the fraternity, meet with aught but censure; and the good-will of our Westminster friend is the more thoroughly appreciated, because so rare. What a chance for putting in a good claim for the office of Chief Magistrate of the Great Republic Congressman Potter missed the other day, when he quietly and without protest beheld the armed occupation of the legislative halls of a sovereign State by a Federal regiment. Even if a protest had proved unavailing, such a line of conduct would have made him the hero of the day. But in all probability he did not think of the matter in that light; or what is more possible King Ulysses has put him down for a small dukedom when he, the King, presents himself with a throne as a testimonial of self-esteem. From March, 1872, to the first of the present year, or in other words during the incumbency of Sheriff Rowland, the records of the County jail show that there have been arrested for various crimes 544 persons. Of this number only sixty-five have been sent to San Quentin. The Star gives a detailed list of the different complaints, made against accused persons, and in this we find that the number indicted for murder and man-slaughter foots up forty-four, whilst those, accused of these crimes, now in San Quentin only number sixteen persons. The Sheriff has evidently performed his duty well. But how about the juries? Don Alfonso, son of ex-Queen Isabella, was last week proclaimed King by the army and navy of Spain, and a squadron of ships has been dispatched by Serrano to bring him to his own again. He is only seventeen years of age, is represented as being barely more intelligent than his reputedance and further success of this movement that these additions are so located as not to clash with each other. The vineyard lot offered for sale by the Davis Bros.' situated in a part of town which has been gradually filling up with private residences; whilst the "Dreyfus Addition," fronting directly on Centre street, the main avenue between the centre of town and the railway depot, recommends itself especially as a most eligible location for business houses. We have not the slightest doubt that this decided improvement in the business tactics of our substantial men is principally due to the railway connection which has recently been made between Anaheim and the great artery of travel from San Francisco southward. And we know of no better argument in favor of railroad building generally than has in the last few weeks forced itself upon the notice of our townsmen, and which, whilst giving to them prompt and profitable sales of their unimproved property, is bringing with it a permanent and valuable increase in both population and business prosperity. THE INDEPENDENCE RAILROAD. Messrs. Temple and Crawford, the President and Chief Engineer of the Independence Railroad, returned at the commencement of the week from San Francisco, whither they had been called by a telegram from Senator J. P. Jones in order to confer with him regarding the future of their road. They report as the result of this conference, that Mr. Jones has made a subscription of $300,000 towards the building of the road, provided that an equal amount is subscribed by citizens of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. In the meantime we learn that a force of Chinamen are now on the way to the section at Cajon Summit, where it is intended to do sufficient work to prevent the loss of their charter. Communicated: GROWL FROM AN EX-TEACHER. There is a certain style of Education in vogue in some quarters, which is a serious misnomer; a cramming of words, and phrases without meaning, without understanding; in the same manner as a parrot is taught. There is a higher grade, a forcing of the mental, to the utter neglect of the physical. Again, the training of the mind by offering undue stimulants, selfish motives, and cramping the San Quentin only number sixteen persons. The Sheriff has evidently performed his duty well. But how about the juries? Don Alfonso, son of ex-Queen Isabella, was last week proclaimed King by the army and navy of Spain, and a squadron of ships has been dispatched by Serrano to bring him to his own again. He is only seventeen years of age, is represented as being barely more intelligent than his reputed father, is completely under the influence of the Pope, and is in short a thorough and genuine Bourbon. The affairs of State which through their pressing import will first occupy his attention, are the Carlist troubles at home; the Cuban rebellion in the "Ever Faithful Isle," and serious complications with the United States, growing out of the Virginius affair, and the general tendency of the great American people to "gobble up" unprotected territory. Quite a contrast presents itself between the remarks made by Senator Thurman of Ohio 'in' supporting his resolution of inquiry regarding the situation in Louisiana, and the concluding words of Sheridan's dispatch to the Secretary of War. The Senator says: "It is not proper to leave this matter (of military interference) to the judgefent of the President; it is for us to know the facts of such interference if it has taken place. This is not a case of war by the people, but war on the people; and it is for the people to know by what warrant of law such intervention has taken place." Sheridan recommends that all native white citizens of Louisiana be declared banditti, closing his dispatch by stating that "it is possible if the President would issue a proclamation declaring them banditti no further action need be taken except what would devolve upon me." But then Thurman is a statesman, and one whom all parties delight to honor; whilst Sheridan is more accustomed to—burn barns in the Shenandoah valley. GROWL FROM AN EX-TEACHER. There is a certain style of Education in vogue in some quarters, which is a serious misnomer; a cramming of words, and phrases without meaning, without understanding; in the same manner as a parrot is taught. There is a higher grade, a forcing of the mental, to the utter neglect of the physical. Again, the training of the mind by offering undue stimulants, selfish motives, and cramping the noble in youth, giving rewards for apparent proficiency in study, to the utter neglect of other important points. Oh! that Educators could bring out the heart, the warm gushings of love in their pupils, for their studies as well as for the one who teaches. How often do we see the child easily committing to memory a lesson in a short time, retaining it without effort, praised for the exertion; whilst another, who toils long, and with tears laments an inability to commit to memory that certain lesson; reproached with dunce, blockhead. Poor child! how much to be pitted and consolled and encouraged instead of scolded. What we need to be competent teachers, is a sympathetic feeling, a kind parental care, an earnest interest in the whole child, body, soul, spirit, intellect, present and future welfare. There was a time when a teacher would mingle with the scholars on the play-ground, and drop manhood, age and experience, and become a child again, so far as play is concerned. The teacher need not so act. The child is very discriminating, and just in judging. Familiarity breeds contempt as well in the school as elsewhere. Let the teacher live a kind, affable life everywhere; he need not roll and tumble in the dust, in order to gain the good will of his scholars. They know better than that. Scholars respect the teacher who respects himself. Let the teacher be mild as possible, but firm, immovable. Let him call out the whole nature of the child, mental and physical, encouraging true politeness, more by example than written or oral laws; restraining the vielous more by love, by mild yet firm, decisive correction in such a manner as will work out the most good to the offender, and success will crown his efforts. C.W.S. AROUND THE COUNTY. Over 51,000 gallons of wine were made last year at Pelanconi's wine manufactory in Los Angeles. The wine production of Los Angeles, for the past season, was about 2,000,000 gallons. Sheriff Rowland is absent in San Jose, as a witness in the case of the People vs Vasquez, now on trial. Another oil discovery is reported from the San Fernando region—flowing 100 barrels per day. Last year over eleven million feet of lumber was received in Los Angeles county—an increase of fully fifty percent over the previous year. Jeff White, of the "Casa Linda," has shipped over 6,000 oranges to San Francisco, and expects to realize from $25 to $30 per thousand. Frank Ganahl was married on Tuesday in Marysville to Miss Lizzie McDaniel, a sister of Maj. E. N. McDaniel, formerly of Los Angeles. It is rumored that work will be commenced on the extension of the railroad between Spadra and San Bernardino within six weeks. T. C. Wallace who killed Andrew Neilson at San Gabriel, has given bonds in the sum of $1,500 to appear before the Grand Jury. The stockholders of the Southern District Agricultural Society at their annual meeting on Saturday elected Dr. McDougall President, and J. F. Burns Secretary. The tax list, State and county, for the year 1871, foots up to $250,000 of which about $200,000 had been paid up to six o'clock on last Monday night. All unpaid taxes are now delinquent and a penalty of five per cent. is added. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company has sold its San Francisco and San Diego line of steamships to Wm. Kohl, of Hutchinson, Kohl & Co., San Francisco. So says the Star of January 7th. At the U. S. Land Office in Los Angeles 11,133 acres of land were sold last year, 1,330 acres located under military warrants, 899 acres entered under the homestead law, and 94 acres under the mining law. A Washington dispatch of the 6th inst. says: Irwin was brought before the bar of the House. He refused to give the names of parties to whom he had paid money, but said he paid to one person $225,000. He was ordered to confinement in the common jail of the District of Columbia. A Tucson dispatch dated Jan. 2nd says: Last night the murderers confined in the Territorial prison, namely Holmes and Hall, the Desert Station murderers; Moore the slayer of Duffield, and young Riversa, who is under sentence of death, laid a well-contried plan upon the jailor, and about seven o'clock decamped for parts unknown. The jailer was seized and knocked down, bound hand and foot, and locked up in a cell. They then went to a wood-pile, got an axe and severed their shackles and went their way rejoicing. Telegraphic intelligence from San Jose relative to the trial of Vasquez, the bandit, is as follows: When the Court convened on the second morning of the trial, the prisoner seemed far less confident than on the previous day, and expressed great disappointment at the failure of his counsel to procure a postponement. The first witness, Adon Leiba, testified as to the manner of carrying out the attack on Snyder's store, and stated that Vasquez cut out all the work and gave orders to shoot any one who resisted. At the close of this witness' testimony the Court adjourned for the day. Particulars of the murder and burning of the bodies of five persons at Shannon, Mississippi, have been received. The object of the wholesale massacre was robbery. The murderers, who are unknown, called Borum to the door at his residence on Saturday night, a week ago, under some pretense and shot and killed him. They then entered the house, where they outraged Borum's wife, after which they killed her and the two children, aged respectively two and nine years. A negro boy in the house was also murdered. The assassins, after completing their work, gutted the house, obtaining in money about $700. They then fired the house in several places; locked the door and fled. A portion of Borum's remains were found with two bullet holes in his skull. The remains of his wife were found with her arms clasping the remains of her youngest NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Special Notice.

"Centinela" with the addition of the "Sansal Redondo," contains 25,000 acres. The boundary of the Rancho comprises furre and a half miles from the city limits of Los Angeles, and extends to the Pacific Ocean. Topography. "Centinela" is made up of one broad, level fertile valley of over twenty thousand acres and beautiful, fertile rolling hills near the Ocean. Soil. The soil is an exceedingly fertile loam, and is without exception the richest and most productive in Southern California. It is likely to the ocean insures a crop without irrigation. Excellent what has been raised for the last two years upon the hills adjoining the ocean. This wheat field contains 1,000 acres and occupies the lightest soil upon the Rancho. There is no all-weather or barren land. Semi-Tropical Fruits. There are a few bearing orange and lime trees upon the Centinela and the fruit tree produce is of the largest and finest quality. There is an orchard containing 6,000 orange trees three years old, and 1,700 almond, lime and lemon trees. The almond, lime and lemon trees will bear fruit in 18:55. The orange trees will bear in five years. There are 7,000 three year old orange trees in the nursery near the orchard. The entire orchard can be taken care of by the men with six horses. The orchard will be kept undivided by the Company, to save the expense of each star holder having a few trees to take care of. Each share will entitle the owner to about 15 trees in the orchard and about the same number in the nursery. The almond, lime and lemon trees will yield an immediate return. In five years each orange tree will produce $20 per annum, or $300 per share for these new planters. There are flowers in the garden in bloom every day in the year. Sheep. A flock of about 14,000 sheep will be kept undivided to save expense to the shareholders. This will give about 30 sheep to each share. The sheep will produce an increase and wool over $2 each yearly, over expenses. They will be grazed upon outlying and unsold lands of the company. The "no fence" law is in force in Los Angeles county. Climate. The climate of the "Centinela" is without exception the finest and most equable in the world. It varies but little throughout the year.
