Receive Deposits and issue their Certificates and transact a ANAHEIM, ORANGE AND TUSTIN CITY. Chas. A. Gardner, of the Napa Reporter, has been writing a series of articles for his paper, descriptive of Los Angeles county. We extract the following about Anaheim: Anaheim is a handsome, driving town, of about fifteen hundred people, well built, fresh and hustling, and with an outlying population that are fast filling up the broad plains around. The settlement, as has been written a hundred times, was started by Germans, about 18 years ago, who bought a tract of land in the midst of the then cactus plant, divided it into vineyards and town lots, organized a water company; got water down from the mountains twelve or fifteen miles distant; for irrigation, and started in the free of obstacles that would have driven less persevering people from the field a dozen times before they finally succeeded. If Anaheim had been started by the average western settler, it would have been abandoned time and again before anybody would ever have felt themselves firmly enough established to call it a home. They had grass-hoppers, dronths, frosts and dozens of other incidents of an untried country, which it took long years to learn and prepare for, and worst of all, countless herds of horses and cattle to contend with, which roaming over the country almost at will, broke in upon the little settlement repeatedly, and required constant watching to keep them from destroying everything. For the whole country around, for leagues in any direction, was owned by men who cared nothing for agriculture, and regarded the colony as rather an obstacle own exp there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there we there CARWALLE PAINTER.

They had grass hoppers, drouths, frosts and dozens of other incidents of an untried country, which it took long years to learn and prepare for, and worst of all, countless herds of horses and cattle to contend with, which, roaming over the country almost at will, broke in upon the little settlement repeatedly, and required constant watching to keep them from destroying everything. For the whole country around, for leagues in any direction, was owned by men who cared nothing for agriculture, and regarded the colony as rather an obstacle to the freedom of their stock range. Then again, too, the green willows and thriving gardens, which the thrifty Germans soon had started in the midst of the desert, were particularly attractive to the wandering broncos in the dry seasons of the year, when all else was bare and sere, and the settlers literally had to stand by their guns and keep watch day and night to save their houses from destruction. After a while some protection was afforded them by the well-known Trespass Law, requiring stock owners to keep their cattle off the farmers, but even this was resisted and fought and lawed by the wealthy ranchmen, who numbered their mustangs by the thousand, and their possessions by the league, with all the power of money, the skill of lawyers and the unscrupulousness of Greaser witnesses, until the poor settlers had at last well high been driven from the field despite the law that was made for their protection. But they triumphed at last overall,and their country got well under way. Substantial qualities began to be manifest which aided them in their work,and brought others to their help.The climate was mild and remarkably healthful.The soil was fertile,and trees and vines made rapid growth.Grain, unless in seasons of drought,yielded wonderfully,and it soon became apparent that if they could hold their own for the first few years of starting,they would have a paradise at last.And they have not been disappointed.They have made here beautiful and comfortable homes; their little settlement has grown up into a thriving town with good stores,hotels,railroad,schools churches and all the comforts of civilization.The country around has changed from the bronco-raising desert of a dozen years ago,toward a fertile plain,dotted with dwellings and ringing with life,and Anaheim begins to realize at last her old dream of one day being "in the world,"and "one of us."She has lodges of Masons.Odd Fellows and Grangers;several religious societies—one of which has a fine church building,and best of all an excellent local paper—the Anaheim Gazette—owned and edited by two sterling young men,Messrs.Melrose & Athearnwho are putting in their best licks for the advancement of their adopted home. The crops at first were all gramps,and they have been the chief reliance of the country as a source of revenue,但 later settlers raise grain and have paid particular attention to fruits-notably the orange—which though neglected at first.is found to do well and make a profitable return.

The crops at first were all grapes, and they have been the chief reliance of the country as a source of revenue, but later settlers raise grain and have paid particular attention to fruits—notably the orange—which, though neglected at first, is found to do well and make a profitable return. Chief among the orange riders is Dr. Wm. N. Hardin, a prominent and respected citizen, and father-in-law of our genial St. Helena editor, Dewitt C. Lawrence, Esq. He has thousands upon thousands of fine young trees in his nurseries, and an orchard of twenty-five acres, the best in the southern part of the country, set out with them and rapidly approaching maturity. ORANGE AND TUSTIN CITY. The old way of starting a town out West was to establish a whisky shop, and population was sure to center around that. But the temper of the age has changed, and the town-builder of 1875, knowing the tastes of a desirable population, substitutes education for whisky, and builds a neat, and sometimes elegant, school-house before he offers his lots for sale. The result may be seen in numbers of the elegant little towns that have sprung up in Southern California. Regularity, order and neatness prevail, and drunkenness is unknown. Yesterday I passed through the town of Richland, or "Orange," as its postoffice is known, a few miles south-east of Anaheim. There, in the midst of a settlement of several hundred people, was a church, school-house, store, blacksmith shop, etc., but no saloon. That town was started with a school-house. Three miles further on is Tustin City, laid out by Mr. Columbus Tustin, formerly of Petaluma. It is not much of a town yet, but what there is of it is good, orderly, thrifty population, who fear God and hate the devil, and are such people as one would want for neighbors. Mr. Tustin started this town with a neat school-house, built and even furnished with an organ at his GAZETTE NO. 30 IN TUSTIN CITY, the Napa Repertoire of artisticive of Los extinct the following: some, thriving hundred people, settling, and with that are fast ins around.

And it does not detract from the merit of the act that the district, which has since been organized, has bought the school-house of him, and compensated him for his outlay, that there is now a thinking school in oper-ation in it, and that a tariff and enterprising neighborhood has grown up around him, enthusing the value of his property and otherwise rewarding the liberality of his outlay. The country has been largely settled up by people from the northern part of the State, and Napa has furnished a good queen. Prominent among the citizens in Anaheim are Monsa. John W. Chase formerly Justin and the House at St. Helena; B. F. Hellingg former owner of the property now known as "Inglewood," near St. Helena; Hon. Edward Evey, formerly of Callistoga; and once owner of the White Sulphur Springs at Helena; J. H. Gooch, painter, once of Napa, and one of the first subscribers to the Register, and many others. At Tustin is Mr. P. Potts, lately of St. Helena, who has made himself a beautiful home in the southern land, and with his amiable lady, expresses himself as highly pleased. Altogether, it has settled up largely at our expense, and we must look on it, to a great extent, as a colony of Napa. And as Greece looked on her infant colonies in Asia Minor, in Italy and Sicily with a patronizing eye, and with not a little solicitude last they should one day rival the parent State in power and splendor—so we must watch this infant protege by the shores of the South Pacific with at least the eye of a generous ri- AN OLD SAW RESET. I have known a farmer to plough up a good soil that had been enriched by a good top dressing, and then, after God had added His blessing, by sending sunshine and rain to raise less than a crop, because he wanted particular what seed he used. And I have said, that man has never learned "Whatsoever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well." I have known a man to call upon his neighbors at the busiest season of the year, when no money seriously would have induced them to leave their work, to come and take his barn frame for him, and thus let it stand through soiling, sunning, and winter until it was well-nigh ruined. And I said, that man hasn't found out how much truth there is hid away in that maxim, "Whatsoever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well." I have known the same man to have corn standing out in the shock in mid-winter; and when his neighbors, who wanted food for their stock, would propose to husk the corn for the fodder, or for even half of it. But to no purpose. He wanted it himself. But there it would stand till spring-time, till the owner got time to attend to it, and by that time corn and fodder had become a mass of putrefaction and fit for nothing. And I would say, it seems hard for that man to find out that "Whatsoever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well." I have seen a farmer who owned a reaper and mower go around and cut wheat and grass for his neighbors, while his own became dead ripe and fallen so that it was worth doing well. over have felt highest established years had grass and dozens of countries country, wars to learn and of all, countless tattle to contend power the country up upon the little and required keep them from For the whole leagues in any by men who culture, and reather an obstacle or stock range. green willows which the had started in were partiuwandering bronsies of the year, and sere, and had to stand by watch day and mouses from dehile some problem by the wellrequiring stock cattle off the was resisted and by the wealthy merged their musand their posse, with all the skill of lawyers ness of Greaser or settlers had at driven from the that was made But they triand their counry.

Altogether, it has settled up largely at our expense, and we must look on it, to a great extent, as a colony of Napa. And as Greece looked on her infant colonies in Asia Minor, in Italy and Steily with a patronizing eye, and with not a little solicitude lest they should one day rival the parent State in power and splendor—so we must watch this infant protege by the shores of the South Pacific with at least the eye of a generous rival, and if they excel us in size and business importance, as their vast extent of outlying country gives them a good chance to do, we can at least see that we keep up with them in art, in literature and in science—in all that makes a noble and generous people, and develops a grand and prosperous commonwealth. If Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Anaheim become the Tarentum, the Syracuse and the Smyrna of the new world, Napa can at least remain the Athens, and shed upon all the undying light of her intellectual splendor. OUR FUTURE SHEEP PASTURES. The rapidly increasing tide of immigration brings with it the assurance that a large number of the new-comers will invest their means in agricultural pursuits, which will naturally cause a disintegration of the large hailed interests now held by certain owners in various parts of the State, but more especially in the southern counties, a marked preference for which has been expressed by many immigrants. It will then be impossible to find sufficient range for the numerous flocks of sheep now existing in these localities, and a removal to some other and more favorable pasturage will be rendered indispensible. Two places present those conditions which are most favorable to sheep-raising—namely, Lower California and Arizona. There are immense tracts all over the northern portion of Lower California well supplied with grass and water, and of so little value for other purposes that it is barely a remote possibility that their acquisition may be sought for anything else. There are, however, two reasons that may operate disadvantageously to that location, although it is much nearer than Arizona, and there is no terrible intermediate desert to cross. The first is that Lower California is a portion of Mexico, and American sheep-raisers may be exposed to just such outrageous treatment as has been frequently inflicted upon American miners and merchants in that territory. The second is that the climate will probably be too warm for the production of first-class wools, or of any kind of wool in quantities equal to the clips of coldier regions. On the other hand, the difficulty of reaching the grazing regions of Arizona with large flocks of sheep and the variety of water in sufficient quanti- wanted feel for their stock, would propose to husk the corn for the fodder, or for even half of it. But to no purpose. He wanted it himself. But there it would stand till spring-time; till the owner got time to attend to it; and by that time corn and fodder had become a mass of patrefaction and lit for nothing. And I would say, it seems hard for that man to find out that "Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well." I have seen a farmer who owned a reaper and mower go around and cut wheat and grass for his neighbors, while his own became dead ripe and straw-fallen, so that it was well nigh worthless. And I saw that fool brayed in a mortar with two peatles; one was "Save at the spigot and lose at the bung-hole," and the other was "Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth well." I have seen a man put out forty acres of corn, fifty of wheat, four of tobacco, twenty of oats, twenty-five of grass, three of potatoes, beside several "truck" patches, possessing only force enough to attend to one half that amount. The corn got weedy, the wheat got ripe, the clover needed cutting badly; the tobacco was foul; the potatoes were choking, and the "truck" patches needed cleaning, and what was to be done? Well, the wheat must be cut at all hazards. By the time that was done the clover was so damaged that if it was cut at all it must be attended at once; and by the time that job was ended the oats were falling down, and all hands were marshalled against them; and now the timothy was getting as dry as sticks. And the corn and the potatoes and the tobacco and the "truck," where, O where, were they? Ask the giant weeds that waved around, and hold unbroken sway o'er man and crop and ground. And again I have said, here is the lesson spelled out in capitals so that he who runs may read, "Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well." MISCELLANEOUS. An exchange asks: "Where does all the cotton go?" We know where a good deal of it goes, but don't like to tell. The beet has its admirers, and there are those who uphold the merits of the cabbage; but all agree that the onion is a soup herb production. A young man says the prettiest girl in town wears blue-top stockings and she is not afraid to show 'em. He saw them hanging on a line in the back yard. An inquiry man thrust his fingers into a horse's mouth to see how many teeth it had, and the horse closed its mouth to see how many fingers the man had. The curiosity of each was fully satisfied. Recently the daughter of a German grocer in Rochester was married.

He tried quietly to remove it, but he soon discovered that it was no loose appendage. He then handed it to the waiter with, "Please remove this and give me a bald-headed one." It is not known, says a London paper, yet many incidents vouch for the fact that William the Fourth was a sayer of smart and even witty things. One of them is worth recording, though it must be explained beforehand that an empty bottle is, on board ship, called a marine. The King was dining with several officers one day, when he ordered a servant to "Take away that marine," pointing to an empty bottle. "Your Majesty," inquired a colonel of marines, "do you compare an empty bottle to a member of our branch of the service?" Yes, replied the monarch, as if a sudden thought had struck him: "I mean to say it has done its duty once, and is ready to do it again." A correspondent writes about a woman in Payette County, Ph., who has made a fortune by working a farm with her own hands. Here is an extract: "Thus by industry, economy and perseverance, she has amassed a considerable fortune, cleared seventy-five acres of rough land, filling up and levelling over ravines, and fitting them for agricultural purposes. It was indeed an interesting sight to see her sitting on top of a rock with a drill in one hand and a sledge in the other, placing the very heart of the rock and blowing it to atoms, and afterwards rolling it place by place into the adjacent ravine. This lady has now a grand house, luxuriously furnished; a first-class piano, from which she brings forth the sweetest music, and $50,000 in the bank."
