Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 27, 1875. During the year 1874, the Panama steamers took from Los Angeles for New York and Liverpool 12,187 packages of merchandise, weighing 2,346,817 pounds. Wine and brandy were the principle articles exported by these steamers, aggregating 1,058,750 pounds. The Sacramento Union has been purchased by the "Sacramento Publishing Company," and been merged into the Record. The Record-Union, as it is called, is under the general management of Wm. H. Mills; and George Frederick Parsons will be the chief editorial writer. The Record has always been a first-class newspaper, and the increased facilities for news-gathering, which this fusion of interests affords, is certain to render it an admirable journal. At a recent meeting of the Vineland, (N. J.) Anti-Fashion Society, a letter was read by Mrs. Butler from George Wright, of Azusa, Los Angeles Co., Cal. He said he had learned through the Herald of Health, of an Anti-Fashion Society in Vineland of which she was President. He denounced the present existing fashions in law, religion, dress, orthography, eating and drinking in no measured terms, and encouraged the Society to go on in its good work. Quite a lively row is going on in that little island across the water. The election of John Mitchell to Parliament has been declared illegal and a new election ordered. But John "will not down," and has issued an address to the electors of Tipperary, presenting himself again as a candidate, and so popular is he that it is believed that there will be no further action. BEAUTIFUL HOMES There is nothing that tends more to the happiness and contentment of man than an attractive home—a plot of ground that one can beautify and adorn to his taste. The dwellers in crowded cities, huddled together in tenement houses where brick walls are all that meet the eye on either side, know nothing of the genuine happiness of the dweller in the country,the possessor of a little piece of land where in his leisure hours he can bury the cankering cares of life in his little flower garden and dig them under with the weeds. And those who struggle and work with their plot of land in the cold Eastern States, where they can only raise a few of the hardiest trees and flowers, have no conception of the ease and trifling expense with which we dwellers in this glorious Italy of America can beautify and adorn our homes. Here the poorest man can enjoy the pleasures of gardens of which the costliest conservatories of the millionaire of the frozen regions are but an imitation. Here in this section of the country, where the climate is so genial, the soil so rich, water so abundant, and land so cheap, scarcely any energetic man need be without a little home adorned with shrubbery and flowers, the cultivation of which will give health to his body and rest to his mind. The cutting up and colonizing of the large ranchos which have been hitherto locked in the hands of capitalists is daily giving to the poor man the means of possessing a small tract which he can beautify and adorn and call his home. The increasing facilities for immigration are fast filling our country with an industrious, intelligent class of people who come here for the express purpose of finding some place where they can settle down and enjoy the comfort and pleasure our beautiful country.

But John "will not down," and has issued an address to the electors of Tipperary, presenting himself again as a candidate, and so popular is he that it is believed that there will be no opposition. Mr. O'Callaghan, member of Parliament from Tipperary, has resigned. His constituents demanded this action for having voted for the disqualification of Mitchell. MR. L. M. HOLT, Secretary of the Los Angeles Immigration and Land Co-operative Association, informed us a few days ago that he answered about twenty letters every day, from parties in the "States" who are seeking information about our country. Some of the questions asked verge on the nonsensical. For instance, one man wants to know how they build houses in Southern California so as to effectually exclude poisonous reptiles! There are no doubt hundreds of persons who look upon a residence in California as exposed to danger and privation as a residence in one of the undiscovered deserts of Africa. Hence the necessity for journalists to enlarge upon apparently trivial and well-known matters. THE TILTON-BEECHER case continues the absorbing tople in public and private circles. Nine weeks have been consumed, and apparently the trial has only begun. The plaintiff's lawyers expect to occupy two weeks longer in the examination of their witnesses, when General Tracy will open for the defence, which will occupy another week, after which the defence will examine about fifty witnesses, among them Oliver Johnson, Samuel Wilkinson, Aug. Steers, A. B. Hollaiday, Mrs. Woodhull and Mrs. Morse. Beecher himself will, of course, be the principal witness, and his testimony is awaited with the greatest anxiety. The defence expect to occupy about the time of that of plantiff. The closing speeches and summing up by Evarts and Beach, will certainly occupy two weeks, and thus the battle will drag along till late in May. THROUGH the courtesy of Wm. R. Olden, agent of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, we are enabled to lay before our readers this morning a statement of the lands sold on the Stearns' ranchos from Oct. 1st to February 24th, 1875. These colonizing of the large ranches which have been hitherto locked in the hands of capitalists is daily giving to the poor man the means of possessing a small tract which he can beautify and adorn and call his home. The increasing facilities for immigration are fast filling our country with an industrious, intelligent class of people who come here for the express purpose of finding some place where they can settle down and enjoy the comfort and pleasure our beautiful country affords. The greatest mistake made by the earlier settlers was the desire of possessing huge, unwieldy tracts, too large to cultivate and enjoy. This mistake, however, is rapidly being rectified. The steady, hard-working, home-loving German settlers, who first laid out, and by their patient industry planted the colony from which has sprung our now flourishing and important settlement, understood and appreciated the value of ornamenting their homes. And there scarcely can be found a vineyardist in Anaheim who did not reserve a place near his house for the cultivation of shrubbery and flowers, and the result is to-day, a collection of comfortable and beautiful residences which suggest to the tired invalid Eastern tourist the idea of health, comfort and peace; and is the strongest inducement that can be held out to him to settle among us and share the blessings which nature has so lavishly bestowed upon the denizens of this fertile valley. AN IMPORTANT MEASURE. The stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company held a meeting at their office on last Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of discussing a proposition to unite with the Cajon Water District and participate in the benefits secured by the Irrigation Law. After an interchange of views, Messrs. Fischer, Reiser and Scott were appointed a committee to confer with the Water Commissioners of Cajon District in regard to the proposed fusion. The committee and Commissioners held a meeting on Wednesday, and an agreement was drawn up which will be laid before a meeting of the Water Company—this afternoon for their action. The agreement reads as follows: The Committee of A. W. Co. propose that the A. W. Co. will go into Water District No. 1. Provided That the Board of Commissioners of Water District No. 1 will grant them a perpetual right to pass such portion of water of their ac- Bard, of Ventura tractor proposes ahead as fast as prince.

The agreement reads as follows: The Committee of A. W. Co. propose that the A. W. Co. will go into Water District No. 1. Provided, That the Board of Commissioners of Water District No. 1 will grant them a perpetual right to pass such portion of water of their acquired Water Right as can be contained in a box — feet wide by — feet deep through the main ditch of Water District No. 1. This water to be supplied to the A. W. Co. at such point on the main ditch of Water District No. 1 as the trustees of the A. W. Co., may hereafter select and to be given to them at all times when such an amount of water is in the ditch of Water District No. 1. In consideration of which the A. W. Co. will agree to pay the estimated cost of the enlargement of the ditch of Water District No. 1 as may be necessary to pass the required quantity of water, and further agrees to pay for the use of such water the current rates as charged by the Board of Commissioners for Water District No. 1. The A. W. Co. will further stipulate that they will surrender to Water District No. 1 no previously acquired Water Rights, held by them, except as above provided. Should the interests of Anaheim and Cajon be consolidated, the Water District will comprise over 25,000 acres. Nothing will so conduce to the prosperity of Anaheim as to be situated in the very midst of such an immense body of irrigable land, and we hope that no insurmountable objection will be found to bar the way to such a happy consummation. Since the above was written, Mr. Olden has informed us that he has received a dispatch from the L.A. & S.B.Land Company authorizing him to include in the new district all of their lands except those on the north and north-west of town.

AROUND THE COUNTY. M. C. Baker is preparing to start a brass foundry in Los Angeles. Senator J. P. Jones will arrive in Los Angeles about the middle of next month. The Los Angeles Turnverein will give a masquerade ball on the 6th of March. Owen Gibney has been appointed Deputy Sheriff for San Fernando township. The Senator brought 67 Chinamen who will be immediately put to work on the Independence Railroad. Mr. Waite will commence the publication of a newspaper at Downey City in about three weeks. El Monte Grange gave a concert on Monday evening. It was well attended and a large sum was realized. Tarbox's Distillery, in Los Angeles, has again been seized by the Government authorities for alleged irregularities. A telegram was received on Thursday stating that the Orizaba was detained by a break in her machinery. The passengers were transferred to the Ventura. R. M. Widney has applied to the Common Council of Los Angeles for a franchise to construct a street railroad. One mile of said road is to be completed within twelve months. Mr. Wm. H. Martin, manager of the California Immigrant Union, was made the recipient of a fine gold watch last Saturday from the Centinela Company, as a mark of esteem for his efficient services. The contract for building the wharf of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad has been let to Mr. Thos. R. Bard, of Ventura county. The contractor proposes to push the work ahead as fast as possible. We understand that sufficient money has been subscribed to raise the upper story of Mr. Jacoby's warehouse, and convert the front half into a Masonic and Old Fellow's Hall, and the rear half into a town hall. The building is very large.—Wilmington Enterprise. The following Grand Jury was impaneled on Wednesday: H. D. Barrows, foreman; W. Kallisher, E. Newton, George Carson, Thomas Mead, J. A. Nichols, Timothy Crowley, M. The President has decided to make no suggestions in arranging a compromise of the Louisiana troubles. The stage between San Diego and Julian was robbed on Tuesday evening. Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure box, with $1,000 was taken. Ex-Senator and "Parson" Brownlow, of Tennessee, has gone back to the newspaper business, and edits the Knoxville Whig and Chronicle. Commencing May 1st, Cable telegraph rates to the United Kingdom and France will be reduced from one dollar to fifty cents per word. It is stated on good authority that the questions between Germany and Spain over the Gustav affair have not been settled. Advices have been received via Zanzibar of an encounter between a British man-of-war and a number of African slaves, in which the latter were routed and several vessels with 303 slaves were captured. The River and Harbor bill has passed the House, containing in its provisions $805 for San Diego harbor, $10,000 for Oakland, $30,000 for Wilmington, and $15,000 for clearing out snags in the Sacramento river. David A. Wells has given an opinion on the subject of the Sandwich Island reciprocity treaty. He considers it not advantageous to the United States, but a fraud to deplete the treasury. There is only one element of importance in the treaty, sugar. The Federal Council of Germany has empowered Prince Bismarck to conclude an extraordinary treaty with us, which will tend to prevent the immigration thither of those who, scorning honest industry, have cultivated the fine art of living on other people's property. At the instance of David Felsenheld, of California, the Senators and Representatives have united in a letter to the Secretary of War, requesting that troops be stationed in San Diego county to protect the stage road between San Diego and Fort Yuma. The House Committee on Elections have decided, by six against five, in favor of Lawrence and Sheridan, of Louisiana, the former contesting the seat of Sypher, the latter that of Pinchback, as Representatives of the State at large. In the House Mr. Howe presented SPECIAL NOTICES Notice. This is to give notice that Peter Hasnellfeld is no longer in the firm of M. Frumbla & Co. We will collect all bills and pay all debts due the firm, and no other person is authorized to do so. Santa Ana, Cal., Jan 25, 1875. Special Notice THE partnership, heretofore existing between Drs.

A son of Cyrus Sanford was herding cattle out on the Ballona Ranch a few days since, when a large eagle swooped down upon a good sized calf and carried it up to a distance of some twenty feet from terra firma. The bird then let its prize drop. The calf was damaged considerably, and the boy ran off in dismay.—Herald. Articles of incorporation were filed with the County Clerk on Tuesday, incorporating a company to appropriate the unappropriated waters of San Antonio Cafion, to convey the same to the San Jose ranch and to sell parties for irrigating and other purposes. The incorporators are: A. R. Messerve, C. F. Loop, S. Sorby, E. F. Huse and E. M. Ross. We learn that a new bank is about to be started in Los Angeles by a combination of capital from San Diego, San Francisco and this place. A lot, 25 feet front, on Main street, next north adjoining Chauwin's store, has been purchased for $12,500, and a fine building will be erected thereon for the bank. Four of the directors are residents of this county and three of San Diego. The general business manager and cashier will be ex-Mayor Toberman—Express. The Artesia land sale was a decided success. The first day the sales were: 324 acres and 20 town lots, aggregating $24,192 29; the second day the sales amounted to over $26,000; the third day the sales amounted to $23,400.90 making a total for the three days of $73,733 84. The prices paid ranged from $32 to $81 per acre. The sale has been adjourned until the first Tuesday in April. The Company will at once commence the erection of a fine two-story frame school house, which will cost not less than $4,000. The Los Angeles Star learns from Deputy United States Marshal Dunlap that Chavez, accompanied by seven men, well mounted, well dressed and well equipped, and leading an extra horse, were seen at Borax Lake two weeks ago February 21st. Mr. D. states that shortly before that time the gang had robbed a German near Kernville of $800 in money, five horses, and as much clothing as they wanted. When they made their appearance at Borax Lake it was evidently with the intention of robbing the station, but just as they rode up, a party of miners appeared in the foothills, whom the robbers mistook for a sheriff's posse, and incontinently pity. At the instance of David Felsenheld, of California, the Senators and Representatives have united in a letter to the Secretary of War, requesting that troops be stationed in San Diego county to protect the stage road between San Diego and Fort Yuma. The House Committee on Elections have decided, by six against five, in favor of Lawrence and Sheridan, of Louisiana, the former contesting the seat of Sypher, the latter that of Pinchback, as Representatives of the State at large. In the House Mr. Howe presented a resolution of the State Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry in Wisconsin in favor of legislation fixing a uniform rate of interest throughout the whole country. Referred to the Committee on Finance. The House has passed Page's bill as reported by Mr. Myers, of Pennsylvania, to prohibit the importation of Chinese coolies under contract, and of Chinese women for immoral purposes. The bill is very stringent in its provisions, and that portion of it in relation to Chinese prostitutes is as sweeping as the California statutes. The following is the record of the Pacific Coast Congressmen on the motion to allow the Texas Pacific bill chance to be reconsidered: Aye—Houghton, of California, and Nesmith of Oregon. Nay—Page and Luttrell of California. Absent—Clayton, of California, and Kendall, of Nevada. In the San Francisco Probate Court the petition of Emma A. Milliken, daughter of T. J. Milliken, late prominent wholesale merchant in Sacramento, for the revocation of letters of administration granted upon the estate of her father to C. N. Stratton, came up. The letters were granted to Stratton upon the request of Kate P. Pearson, a mulatto woman who represents herself to be the widow of Milliken. The case excites much interest on account of the notoriety attached to the liason of Milliken with the colored woman, resulting in the obtaining of a divorce by his wife and his marriage to Kate Pea son the next day, and his subsequent death. The point sought to be made by the petitioner is that the marriage was null and void on account of the woman being a mulatto. The case was continued to Friday, March 5th, when the question of jurisdiction, and whether a mulatto under the constitution of the United States is prohibited from marrying a white man will be argued.

Deputy United States Marshal Dulap that Chavez, accompanied by seven men, well mounted, well dressed and well equipped, and leading an extra horse, were seen at Borax Lake two weeks ago February 21st. Mr. D. states that shortly before that time the gang had robbed a German near Kernville of $800 in money, five horses, and as much clothing as they wanted. When they made their appearance at Borax Lake it was evidently with the intention of robbing the station, but just as they rode up, a party of miners appeared in the foothills, whom the robbers mistook for a sheriff's posse, and incontinently fled. On the Tuesday following they met Mr. Victor Beaudry between Coso and Cerro Gordo, and relieved him of what valuables he had on his person—amount not known. They have not been definitely heard from since. The proprietor of the Borax works at the Lake recognized Chavez distinctly. There can be no doubt about his personality. It is about time to catch Chavez. NEWS IN BRIEF. Earnest Ortwein was executed at Pittsburg on Tuesday for murder. Mr. Gladstone is out with another pamphlet entitled "Vaticanism." The Mark Lane Express says European wheat prices are "off" on account of the poor condition of the grain. The brig J. B. Ford has arrived at San Francisco from Yokohama with several cases of small pox on board. The Japanese Government has appropriated $200,000 to the Philadelphia Centennial exhibition. A party of prospectors in the Black Hills report that they are meeting with success. Congress has appropriated $100,000 for the subsistence of Arizona and New Mexico Apaches.
