It was a sad time for chickens and turkeys, but their obsequies were conducted in the finest manner by the hungry crowd. Our informants left left them dancing at three o'clock in the morning. Anaheim has the credit of having the most polite railroad officials on the coast. A lady, a short time ago, wrote an article expressive of her appreciation of the polite attentions received at the hands of the gentlemanly agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Anaheim, which he caused to be suppressed.

The Schooner, Gracie Roberts, is expected to arrive at Anaheim Landing in a few days with a cargo of assorted pine lumber for Halberstadt & Co. We erred in stating that the Anaheim Lodge of F. & A. M. would elect officers last night. The election will not take place until the regular meeting in December. From Tuesday's Daily. Times were dull at the depot yesterday, and no freight was shipped. One and eight one-hundredths of an inch of rain fell in Los Angeles during the last shower. The appraisers of the estate of the late Adam Hill, will perform their duties to morrow. The blacksmith shop on Lemon street is offered for rent by Mr. Thos. Edwards. Pastor Pezo sowed on the Miles place three pounds of Odessa wheat, from which he harvested one hundred and seventy-six pounds. The rainfall on Saturday night and Sunday amounted to only half an inch, but its benefit can not be computed. Judge Willis, of San Bernardino, was in Los Angeles yesterday. He reports good rains in San Bernardino, and says the people there are content and confident of the future. The Southern District Agricultural Fair will commence on Monday, Nov. 22d. The entries for the races are very large and embrace some fast stock. The stages, carrying the U. S. Mail, will now leave Anaheim in the evening after the arrival of the train from Los Angeles. The first regular meeting of the Santa Ana Masonic Lodge will be held on next Friday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. The early sown barley in the vicinity of Anaheim is now over an inch high and the prospect is good for an immense crop. Dispatches from all parts of the State shows that the rain-fall of Saturday night was quite general. From Wednesday's Daily. The L. O. C. have declared a dividend of twenty-five cents per share. Mr. L. Ullyard will commence operations at his steam grist mill at Tustin City on Saturday next. Mr. John Bush brought in town two does, one buck and a fawn, killed in the Santiago mountains yesterday. There are lively times at the blacksmith shops, pointing and repairing plows for active service. Fifty-six teachers are attending the Teachers' Institute, now in session at Los Angeles. Our Justices took a breathing spell yesterday and cleared their Court rooms of the odor of crime and fraud, no cases being brought during the day. —Goach has a new double Spring wagon and he wants to sell it. —A neat design for horse-shoes patented in 1874, was exhibited here today. It requires no nails, and to our inexperienced mind seemed to be just the thing. —The ferryman who runs the Santa Ana Coach says "There's nothing like being around. I get a great many passengers for Santa Ana that did not intend to go." —A. B. Johnson has discovered a rich silver ledge within twenty miles of Los Angeles. It assays over $250 silver to the ton, a little copper and ten per cent. of lead. —The stage coach last night was loaded down with passengers and mail. The Postmaster still preserves an angelic temperament and thinks the morning air invigorating and salutary. —A petition was circulated yesterday, addressed to E. E. Hewitt, Superintendent of the railroad, asking that the running time of the Anaheim train be changed so that it will leave Anaheim at 8 A.M., and arrive at 5 P.M. —On Monday, the skeleton of a man was found in the rear of the St. Charles Hotel, Los Angeles, by workmen who were excavating. The medicos say that the body has been buried at least twelve years. —The new change in the carrying of the malls will not affect the delivery of the Gazette in Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin. It will be delivered as usual, within three hours of publication. —The earthquake on Monday was felt at San Bernardino, Wilmington, Spadra, Colton and Los Angeles. At the latter place it was severe —A three story hen coop, fall of Thanksgiving turkeys and chickens, was taken through town yesterday. —As Cal Peel, of Los Angeles, was crossing one of the streets in that city the other day, he was struck by the shaft of a wagon which was being driven at a great speed. The Colonel now crosses the street with his hand on his postol, and threatens to puncture any driver who fails to steer clear of the tail of his coat. —We examined yesterday some specimens of coal, taken from the Santiago mountains. The lodge was discovered by Louis Wartenberg, Philip Engel and Peter Engelbock, and they go to Los Angeles to-day to record their claims. Coal discoveries are no new thing in this section. Within the last ten years we have seen various samples from the same locality, and we are confident that at some future day an inexhaustible supply will be found and made accessible. —Anaheim still maintains its place in the front rank of civilization and progress. As proof of its advancement beyond sister towns, we are informed that the game of "Long Pete" is among the unexplored mysteries at San Bernardino, while here it has been reduced to a mathematical certainty, and is thoroughly understood by every man in town except the "local" of the GAZETTE. —the following shipments were made from the depot yesterday: 27 dry hides, 18 green hides, 8 kilp skins, 6 calf skins, 1 coop chickens, 3 boxes of eggs. —a party of Chinamen waited all night at the depot the night before last to catch the train for Los Angeles. They were on time in the morning. Several showers of rain fell late last night and the indications are that Frank Freeman, a former well-known resident of Santa Ana, has removed to Tustin City, and opened a saloon in that thriving town. His card will be found in our column today. The stage drivers from this place find his roads not very pleasant at night. It requires considerable scriptural language to express their opinion of the new change in the mall arrangements. It is a matter of serious doubt whether the Fair races will not have to be postponed. Should much more rain fall before Monday, we should judge that the track would be in a poor condition. The Cajon water ditch has been benefitted rather than injured by the rains. The mea land has received moisture enough to render the completion of the ditch, over that portion, an easy matter. —a number of patent pruning implements were shipped to Orange yesterday. They are an ingeniously contrived apparatus. —a correspondent of the Express, writing under date of San Bernardino, Nov. 17th, says: Several parties reaching here to-day report an attack upon Willow Station, on the Mojave Desert, near Ivanpah, by Chavez and a number of his Mexican followers. The station is about 120 miles distant from San Bernardino, and is the principal rendezvous for teamsters and travelers generally. The brigands bound the proprietor, Mr. W. Riley, to his bed, and bade his wife to cook and attend them, threatening to kill both her and her husband, and to burn down the house if she attempted to poison or otherwise deceive them; promising however, if they were treated right, to pay for everything they consumed, which they did after The new change in the carrying of the malls will not affect the delivery of the Gazette in Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin. It will be delivered as usual, within three hours of publication. The earthquake on Monday was felt at San Bernardino, Wilmington, Spadra, Colton and Los Angeles. At the latter place it was severe enough to stop the clocks at the railroad depot and in the County Clerk's office. We understand that quite a number of our hunters start out for a raid on the ducks on Sunday next. We would like much to go, and are sorry that business prevents, as we are extremely fond of roast duck. The inference is obvious. Two cars of freight were shipped yesterday from Anaheim depot. Among the freight were 4 boxes of powder, 1 sewing machine, 2 boxes tailow, 4 boxes hair, 150 sacks rye, 1 bale hops, 1 netting machine. The people of Anaheim, after having been used to communication with Los Angeles twice a day, cannot stand it even one day on half accommodation without complaining. How the San Diego people will stand it we cannot say, but think it will not be long before their big Gunn is fired in defence of their rights and privileges. From Thursday's Daily. Superintendent Hewitt left for San Francisco yesterday morning. The horse epizootic has made its appearance in Los Angeles. A train, loaded with gravel from the new San Gabriel river, came in yesterday morning. Yesterday, a party of gentlemen started out on a hunt in the vicinity of Santiago mountains. Miss Pinkie Armstrong, formerly of Los Angeles, was married in San Francisco the other day. The Presbyterian and Methodist denominations are building churches at Santa Monica. J. M. Guinn delivered a lecture at Good Templars' Hall, Los Angeles, last night. The examination of candidates for teachers' certificates will be held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Dec. 1st. The epizootic has not yet made —The following shipments were made from the depot yesterday: 27 dry hides, 18 green hides, 8 kilo skins, 6 calf skins, 1 coop chickens, 3 boxes of eggs. —a party of Chinamen waited all night at the depot, the night before last to catch the train for Los Angeles. They were on time in the morning. Several showers of rain fell late last night and the indications are that the youth who carries around the Gazette will get his clothes wet. Meeting of Hotel Directors. The Board of Directors of the Hotel and Building Association met last evening at 7:30 P.M. The proposals for building the basement of the hotel were opened and read. The bills of Weixel & Burns, Schindler & Horn, and Carr & Bell were rejected, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Champlin and Davis, were appointed to wait upon Lamson & Bessonet, in regard to their bid, they being the lowest bidders. The time for declaring dolphinfent the last assessment was postponed until the 24th Instant, when all assessments, not then paid, will be immediately advertised. The following resolution was adopted: WHEREAS, Several applications have been made by different stockholders requesting the issue to them of paid up stock of the Hotel and Building Association, equal to the amounts paid by them to this date on their original subscription; and, WHEREAS, A considerable indebtedness has been incurred in the carrying on of our business, which must be met immediately, and furthermore, the granting of such requests would be an injustice to those interested in the enterprise who have subscribed to their stock upon the strength of other subscriptions, as well as to the creditors of the Association; and WHEREAS, All similar requests have heretofore absolutely refused; be it, therefore, Resolved. That the course heretofore followed be adhered to in future. From Friday's Daily. Owing to the bad condition of the roads, little or no freight was brought to the depot yesterday. A construction train came in yesterday afternoon at twenty minutes to 2. It carried material for the repairing of New river bridge. George Wallace McCoy, formerly connected with this office as printer, is writing up the resources of Ventura County for the Free Press. Parties from Capistrano report the grass as being thick and plenty in can followers. The station is about 120 miles distant from San Bernardino, and is the principal rendezvous for teamsters and travelers generally. The brigands bound the proprietor, Mr. W. Riley, to his bed, and bade his wife to cook and attend them, threatening to kill both her and her husband, and to burn down the house if she attempted to poison or otherwise deceive them; promising, however, if they were treated right, to pay for everything they consumed, which they did, after carousing at the house for nearly two days. Mr. Mowreay, driving an express team, was robbed on passing of $130, and a teamster named Decrow was left minus his horses, the robbers unhitching the same from his wagon and driving them off. It will be remembered that a party of Mexicans, of whom Chavez was supposed to be leader, about six months ago, robbed the Granite Station, about 30 miles distant from Willow Springs, and it is apparent that Chavez is returning to his old haunts. There is a curious will which has been admitted to Probate in Los Angeles county. A Mr. Allen, who died in Los Angeles a short time ago, leaves $10,000 to the county of Los Angeles in trust, to keep it until the principal and interest shall amount to the sum of $30,000, when it becomes the property of the county absolutely. If Los Angeles County declines to accept it, then it is to go to any other county, of any State in the Union, with the single exception of Cook County. Illinois, in which Chicago is situated! The relatives are already moving to set the will aside, on the ground that the testator was non compos mentis. Express. We have been feeding and living high for the last day or two. A key of beer from Reiser's Brewery came tumbling up the stairs, and while we were endeavoring to get sober enough to remark its excellent quality, our old friend, Mossman, attacked us with a couple of as fine San Francisco sausages as we ever saw or tasted. We thought we were rich, and discussed the policy of delivering our paper free of charge, but when we reflected that Mossman sets out those fine sausages every day for lunch, and that Reiser would have beer to sell when ours was gone on strict inquiry into the state of our finances, we weakened. At present there seems to be a general disposition to aid in the development of the coal beds, which are known to exist in the Santiago moun Francisco the other day. The Presbyterian and Methodist denominations are building churches at Santa Monica. J. M. Guinn delivered a lecture at Good Templars' Hall, Los Angeles, last night. The examination of candidates for teachers' certificates will be held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Dec. 1st. The epizootic has not yet made its appearance among the horses in Anaheim. We were informed last night that F. P. F. Temple is daily expected in Los Angeles, with plenty of coin to resume the business of the bank. A party, of which Goldsworthy the surveyor was a member, left town yesterday for the purpose of locating a mine somewhere in this vicinity. Capt. Forney, of the U.S. Coast Survey, has taken up his residence on Santa Catalina in order to facilitate his survey of that island. The San Francisco News Letter says: "In Anaheim they cure tobacco by covering it with earth. Here the smoker is cured in the same way." The well at Dr. Yocum's place is now down a depth of 77 feet, and there is apparently a bountiful supply of water. The intention is to sink it until the clay strata is reached. Harry Pollhemus has his elegant soda fountain in operation. He has the best of syrups, fresh from Los Angeles. Those fond of the beverage will do well to give him a call. Parties from the neighboring ranches report the grass in many places high enough to give the stock a good bite. With a little more rain the county will be safe as far as Fed for stock is concerned. A construction train came in yesterday afternoon at twenty minutes to 2. It carried material for the repairing of New river bridge. George Wallace McCoy, formerly connected with this office as printer, is writing up the resources of Ventura County for the Free Press.

Mr. Howe from Westminster reports everything flourishing in the colony and every prospect of a bountiful season. The Teachers' Institute has Resolved, That our Senator and Assemblymen be requested to oppose any proposition to abolish County Teachers' Institutes. About seventy Chinamen, lately discharged by the Calon Water Commissioners, camped at the depot last night. They go to Los Angeles this morning. Persons, who have had horses stolen during the past three weeks, will please send a description of the same, together with the owner's name, residence, etc., to M. F. Parker, Orange. We had a conversation yesterday with a gentleman interested in the cultivation of tobacco. He says there is no reason why this section should not produce tobacco equal to the finest Havana and intends this season to give the thing a trial. From Matthias Gray, music publisher, San Francisco, we have received the following pieces of music: Waltz, from Fille de Madame Angot; Waltz, from Girole-Girola; and several other popular selections from Opera Bouffe. Grafting Grape vines. It has been discovered after repeated trials that the Mission Grape is far inferior to many other varieties for wine-making, as well as for raising. Most of the early vineyards consisted chiefly of Mission vines, and some proprietors have roped them up by thousands to make room for valuable varieties. Of course a great loss of time and labor is involved in this course, which might be almost wholly avoided by grafting the desired kinds upon Mission stocks. The process is so simple and so certain, that it ought to be generally practiced. Clones for grafting should be cut about the first of January and not later than February, and may be set any time between the 10th of January and the 10th of March. They should be kept alive and moist by burying them in a cool place so that they will not bud out. If so kept and properly grafted they will be almost certain to thrive, whether inserted in Mission or wild Grape-stocks, and will often grow fifteen or twenty feet and produce two or three bushels of Grapes the first season. The modes of grafting are various, the chief difference being in the rapidity of execution. A graft or clon may be inserted so as to grow upon any part of a vine, but should for practical purposes be inserted two or three inches below the surface of the ground, which is to be carefully pressed down around the stock after the operation. When vines are guarly and not easily split, holes may be bored in the stump or stock with a fine cutting-hit, and the clon inserted two inches deep. The bark of the clon should be carefully peeled off as far as it is to enter the hole, and should fit it closely. The hole (one or more, as desired) should be as near the bark of the stump as possible, but it is not necessary that the bark of the clon should meet and coincide with it as in grafting trees. The quickest and best way, however, especially where there is much grafting to be done, is to provide a wedge-shaped chisel about an inch wide.
