Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...APRIL 8, 1876. CHURCH MEETINGS. FIRST PRESEPTERIAN CHURCH. Rev. J. M. Allis Pastor. Regular services at 11 A.M. and at 7:30 P.M. Sunday School at 10 A.M. Meeting for practice in Congregational singing and for Bible study on Wednesday at 7:30 P.M. EPCOPAL CHURCH. Rev. W. B. Neales Pastor. Regular service every Sunday morning at 11 A.M. Sunday School at 10 A.M. Kleinigkeiten. From Wednesday's Daily. — Davis & Bro. shipped 80 centals of corn to San Diego. — The L. O. C.'s held a meeting yesterday and decided to give a picnic at the Santiago cafion. — By recent decree of the Mikado of Japan, newspapers there are freed from all postal charges. Sensible man. — Several pieces of oak timber were encountered, in boring Viles & Marsh's well, at a depth of 275 feet. — Ex-Sheriff Rowland has just finished shearing his 4,000 sheep, and reports the yield of wool to be 15,000 pounds and remarkably clean. — The earth holds no happier man than the victor in a petty law suit, who has gotten enough in earnest about it to be thoroughly angry with his opponent. — Attention is called to the card of Dr. Galick, dentist. He is constantly to be found at his office, and is skillful and reliable in his work. — The Rev. Mr. Neales will go to Los Angeles to-day, to solicit subscriptions there for the erection of the Episcopal church of this place. — Mrs. Arcadia de Baker paid on Monday, under protest, her assessment to the Main St. Sewer Fund of Los Angeles, and will immediately bring suit for the amount, claiming that the assessment is illegal. — As an example of the aggressive American-aping manners of the Chinese, we noticed yesterday this entry on the arrival book of a first-class hotel of this place: "Hen Lee and friend." — According to a lecture recently delivered in San Francisco by a Chinese traveller, only the Emperor has the right of praying to Heaven direct, the body of the people being denied that honor. Well, our people in Anaheim can pray as they choose, but we are afraid their privilege to do it will be barred by limitation, they have slept so long upon their right. — As will be seen by the telegrams in to-day's issue, the Legislature is adjourned. The reports of the proceedings of the Senate say "a great variety of humorous resolutions were introduced." It is comforting to the people to think that, though the press of business was so great as to prevent the Senators giving their attention to many important measures which for that reason will be delayed two years — it is a drop of consolation, we say, to think that they had, at any rate, leisure enough to introduce a great variety of humorous resolutions to while away the time. From Thursday's Daily. — Mr. Tustin, of Tustin City, was in town yesterday. — There are seven churches in San Bernardino, and one Mormon tabernacle. — The wool clip from the San Joaquin Valley is being daily made by assert that it will the season. And we have been requested by the music for the occasion gaged at the same time that sticklers for good on being satisfied in. — The following from the depot to spark catcher, 75 skis wine, 67 skis potato. — The number of Angeles is shown there were fifteen bays for the grading A railroad. — A Los Angeles hung out, as ornamentation a sign having on Zouave shooting at. — The darkeyes hailed gales on the night of bration of the Fifteenth. — Bids will soon contractors wishing over the river at Los Angeles. — S. C. Hubbell assistant District M. — Yesterday even arrested on a compartment sworn out by he had stolen him to wash, sanctioned a pair of under which complainant valuation of $10. by a jury of twelve brought in favor of him. The cost necessarily paid by must have amounted to the jury fee. The earth holds no happier man than the victor in a petty law suit, who has gotten enough in earnest about it to be thoroughly angry with his opponent. Attention is called to the card of Dr. Galick, dentist. He is constantly to be found at his office, and is skillful and reliable in his work. The Rev. Mr. Neales will go to Los Angeles to-day, to solicit subscriptions there for the erection of the Episcopal church of this place. The San Diego papers report the arrest of H. S. Leelyard while on his way to Mexico. This is a mistake. He has not left Los Angeles at all. It is said that mosquitoes will not come near a Eucalyptus tree and that one finds protection from them at night by placing a bough of it near the bedside. The banks in Los Angeles have commenced to keep separate accounts for gold and silver deposits. It now becomes an article of discount like greenbacks, gold being the standard. The case of People vs. St. John came up for trial yesterday and will be concluded today. It is a complaint of alleged injuries received by a man named Hopkins when ejected from the Hotel for raising an uproar. We saw yesterday a quantity of ramie raised near this place. It is thought by some that ramie can be very successfully cultivated in Southern California, and that it will constitute an important substitute for cotton, in many uses. A Los Angeles exchange speaking of the Catholic Cathedral there, says: "The encente of the building is a charfellow occasion of art, etc. Encente means pregnant—the literal significance of the word being 'ungirdled.' The pencil-driver probably meant ensemble." A very prominent San Francisco artist is now engaged in making sketches on the Santa Anita, with intention to make paintings of the many picturesque scenes upon the ranch. This is the large tract recently bought by Baldwin, the millionaire. The San Bernardino Guardian thinks that General McConnell has, by his masterly course in the Assembly, demonstrated that he ought to be sent to the United States Senate. Opinions differ. The funeral of Col. T. D. Aycock took place yesterday in Los Angeles. He was a prominent Taquero lawyer and two years—it is a drop of consolation, we say, to think that they had, at any rate, leisure enough to introduce a great variety of humorous resolutions to while away the time. From Thursday a Daily. Mr. Tustin, of Tustin City, was in town yesterday. There are seven churches in San Bernardino, and one Mormon tabernacle. The wool clip from the San Joaquin Rancho this year will be about 450 bales. Messrs. Halberstadt & Co. made a large sale of lumber to the Cerritos ranch yesterday. On Mr. Pierce's farm, north of Anaheim, may be seen one of the finest wheat crops ever raised in this valley. There will, we learn, be a picnic given by the Grangers on the first of May. In the evening there will be a dance at Enterprise Hall. As will be seen in the proceedings, published today, of the Board of Supervisors, Phos. Shelley has received the appointment of road overseer for Anaheim district. Two of the teachers in the public schools of San Bernardino have the euphonious name of Drinkwater. How good a name for a temperance lecturer? It is a pity that the finest clip of wool ever sent from this valley should bring the lowest price ever known, but the sheep owners find, to their sorrow, that such is the state of the market. The case of People vs. St. John was yesterday dismissed by Judge Randall, on the ground of the proof not justifying him in binding over defendant to appear before the Grand Jury. Cayenne pepper scattered in a store room, or anywhere that ants and cockroaches are troublesome, will quickly remove the pests. If rats enter a cellar or a room, they will cease doing so, if a little powdered potash be scattered in the path. The Sacramento papers say that Mr. Morse, agent for Fanny Marston, has got into trouble there—principally financial trouble. Should Morse ever visit Anaheim again, we have a strong suspicion that he will find that his troubles have only begun. Our friends D. & G. D. Plato are now employing an army of carpenters on a compartment sworn out by he had stolen him to wash, sawn of a pair of under which complainant valuation of $100 by a jury of twelve brought in favor of him. The cost necessarily paid by must have amount sum, the jury fees Thus are the people's expenses of injustice. From From With this issue Mr. Moye Wicks' editorial department ring the time Mr. sociated with us, he self to be a skillful worthy and high man. His many fights us in our good w welfare. MELLI The weather for two has had a touch. The vineyard send out leaflets. The phrase on was: "The lawyers and the town is quiet." Frank Ey has Smith building him, to Joseph Joey. Yesterday was the battle of Shiloh 1862. The celebrates ister, Mr. I. S. Southern California. The notorious Hen Lee and Geese dismissed from the in which it was being arrested. The dust is very thick thou shalt re almost entirely full of the Anaheima. All the lawyers are informed, we attend the Chine Los Angeles. Freight for this was received at the H L Paty, 40 s pkgs sundries; H bbis lime; A G B D Hartley, I win sk corn; Jno Ba chines; J T Giffo The San Bernardino Guardian thinks that General McConnell has, by his masterly course in the Assembly, demonstrated that he ought to be sent to the United States Senate. Opinions differ. The funeral of Col. T. D. Aycock took place yesterday in Los Angeles. He was a prominent Texas lawyer and most worthy gentleman, and came here to seek a cure for consumption. The Los Angeles papers are justly indignant at the practice some there are guilty of in bathing in the ponds inside the city limits. Cleanliness is a virtue worthy all praise, but that is not exactly the decorous way to seek it. At a citizens meeting in San Francisco, the other day, one of the speakers, In alluding to the difficulty in making Congress comprehend the Chinese question, said he could apply, with a slight change, the words of Burns: "O. wad some power the gritie gie 'em To see these Johns as we all see 'em." There is a crazy man near Stearns' Mill who has several times lately chased families in the vicinity from their houses. An officer from Los Angeles has been sent down to take him in custody. We are informed that a very large portion of the wool clip of the county is likely to be shipped this year via Los Angeles. The wool growers in the northern part of the county, between Temecula and the San Bernardino line, have, it is said, been offered such rates as to make it their interest to haul the wool to Colton and send it by railroad. Probably half a million pounds—perhaps more—will go that way. Here is a very valuable trade slipping away from our city—a trade which we ought to leave no stone unturned to retain.—San Diego Union." Preparations for the Calico Hall are being daily made, and we can safely assert that it will be the affair of the season. And in this connection we have been requested to state that the music for the occasion will be furnished by the same band that was engaged at the last Old Fellows' ball, so that sticklers for good music may rely on being satisfied in that respect. The following freight was shipped from the depot to-day: 2 wheels, 1 spark catcher, 75 sks potatoes, 1½ bbls wine, 67 sks potatoes. The number of contractors in Los Angeles is shown by the fact that there were fifteen bids made recently for the grading Aliso Avenue horse railroad. A Los Angeles saloon keeper has hung out, as ornamental and popular, a sign having on it a painting of a Zouave shooting at a Chinaman. The darkeyes had a ball in Los Angeles on the night of the 3d, in celebration of the Fifteenth Amendment. Buls will soon be called for, from contractors wishing to build the bridge over the river at Los Angeles. S. C. Hubbell has been appointed assistant District Attorney. Yesterday evening Hen Lee was arrested on a complaint for embezzlement sworn out by a man who asserted he had stolen clothes entrusted to him to wash, said clothes consisting of a pair of under garments, upon which complainant placed the modest valuation of $10. The case was heard by a jury of twelve, and a verdict brought in favor of Hen Lee, dismissing him. The costs in the action were necessarily paid by the county, and must have amounted to a considerable sum, the jury fees alone being $21. A coal mine is reported discovered near the Encino Kanch. A fine lot of land adjoining town must be disposed of immediately. Apply to Fred W. Athearn. The Irish Literary and Social Club gives a ple-nie in Los Angeles on Sunday April 30th. A citizen of Los Angeles has twelve English foxes imported for the purpose of getting up a fox hunt. M. Keller, of Los Angeles, boasts of a lemon measuring 13½ inches in circumference. The San Francisco telegrams say that the Chinese there are arming themselves heavily in anticipation of "a low, a liot, a lumpus." A flock of wild geese yesterday passed over town, flying south. This is an indication of some impending change in the weather. The following freight was shipped from the depot to-day: Twenty-two boxes eggs, 1 bdle calf skins, 60 hides, 413 bdles grape cuttings, 3 cans tallow, 4 kegs tallow, 7 boxes empty bottles, 25 sks potatoes. The recently appointed Fire Marshal of Los Angeles has made a tour of inspection through all the Chinese houses there, and reports their fire arrangements very dangerous, and their surroundings, in a sanitary point of view, as simply horrible. The editor of the Los Angeles Herald calls public attention to some puddles of blood which he discovered on Second street, and near by, stains of blood upon a fence, as if some wounded person had leaned against it. Santa Ana Hunt. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Dr. Mason, of St. Louis, a graduate of the "Missouri Medical College," has determined to settle in Santa Ana for the purpose of practising his profession. He will build immediately on Fruit's addition to the Santa Ana town plot. The Grand Master of the Masons of this State was in town last week in company with Mr. S. Prager, the M. E. H. of the Royal Arch Chapter, in Los Angeles. They inspected the hall belonging to the fraternity here, and expressed themselves highly pleased with it. We would say for the benefit of our "R"-oyal friend from Tustin, that the distribution of the school fund is of interest to every child and tax payer in the county, and it ill-becomes anyone to try to cover up a transparent fraud as this seems to be. Every dollar paid to the Upper Santa Ana school district fraudulently, or to any other district, is so much taken from every other school district. We do not pretend to be much of a mathematician, so we will refer him to the single or double rule of three, on the proposition made by "X. Y. Z." Mr. Evans has secured the contract for building the new school house. The district should feel gratified in obtaining so responsible a builder as Mr. E. has proven himself to be. Mr R. Cummings has just completed his residence on Birch's addition. Mr. Inman is rapidly pushing the work on Mr. Donovan's printing office and on the Methodist Church (South). The Baptist Church, which was commenced some time ago, seems to be at a stand-still, although there is lumber on the ground. Judge Humphrey's residence on Fruit's addition is rapidly nearing completion. An unlawful practice is very much in vogue in and near the settlements of Tustin, Orange and Santa Anna. We From Friday's Daily. —With this issue of the GAZETTE Mr. Moye Wicks' connection with the editorial department terminates. During the time Mr. Wicks has been associated with us, he has shown himself to be a skillful writer and a most worthy and highly educated gentleman. His many friends here will join us in our good wishes for his future welfare. MELROSE & ATHEARN. —The weather for the last day or two has had a touch of cold. —The vineyards are beginning to send out leaflets. —The phrase on the street yesterday was, "The lawyers are in Los Angeles and the town is quiet." —Frank Ey has sold the blacksmith building, recently bought by him, to Joseph Jordan. —Yesterday was the anniversary of the battle of Shiloh, fought April 6th 1822. —The celebrated Presbyterian minister, Mr. I. S. Kalloch, will visit Southern California soon. —The notorious Chinese case of Hen Lee and Gee Wau was yesterday dismissed from the Los Angeles court, in which it was brought up for trial. —The dust is very annoying. "To dust thou shalt return" seems to be almost entirely fulfilled in the case of the Anaheimer. —All the lawyers of Anaheim, we are informed, went up yesterday to attend the Chinese case on trial in Los Angeles. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: H L Paty, 40 sks meal; Butter, 24 pkgs sundries; Halberstadt & Co, 4 obbs lime, A G Beebe, 1 box paper; M D Hartley, 1 wind mill; G R Hinds, 1 sk corn; Jno Barbey, 2 sewing machines; J T Gifford, 1 sewing machine. Mr. R. Cummings has just completed his residence on Birch's addition. Mr. Inman is rapidly pushing the work on Mr. Donovan's printing office and on the Methodist Church (South). The Baptist Church, which was commenced some time ago, seems to be at a stand-still, although there is lumber on the ground. Judge Humphrey's residence on Fruit's addition is rapidly nearing completion. An unlawful practice is very much in vogue in and near the settlements of Tustin, Orange and Santa Anna. We refer to the staking of animals in and near the public highway, thereby rendering it dangerous for travellers in vehicles or on horseback. Several accidents have occurred within the past few weeks. Our law officials should enforce the ordinance, making it unlawful for people to obstruct the highways with their stock. One farmer told us that he could not pasture off the barley he had sown on each side of the track, unless he staked his horses and cattle in the manner described. We very much doubt whether anyone has a right to sow barley or anything else on the public roads. Is it not the Road Overseer's duty to see that these nuisances are removed? Capt. Chase, of the Coast Survey, asserts that if Newport harbor had $50,000 of the $450,000 appropriated for Wilmington, that it would be a better one than the latter. From the fact that Newport has naturally four feet more of water on the bar than the Wilmington harbor had, this is probably true, and coming from such a source, it is entitled to considerable weight, the opinion coming from one entirely capable of expressing an opinion, and is entirely disinterested. If we had anyone from this district who truly represented it in Congress, it would be worth while to apply for an appropriation, but as the person who nominally represents us is a creature of the Central and Southern Pacific Railroads, and as they don't own either the McFaddens nor the Newport harbor, it would be useless to apply to Congress through a man who has stultified himself as he has. If it can be made mutually beneficial to the people here and the present owners of Newport, it would be good policy for the people to voluntarily contribute towards cutting a new channel through the bar, which, Capt Chase says, is perfectly practicable at a comparatively small cost; and when a Congress is elected there could not be one elected more immical to the interests of the people than the present one; there will be a good probability of securing an appropriation commensurate with the needs of the case, which will render Newport one of the best harbors on the coast. January 10th, 1876, Spring School District voted upon themselves a tax of $5,000 for building purposes, the vote standing 115 for and 24 against the tax, which was sufficiently decisive to indicate the wishes of the people in the matter. It was stated on the day of the election, by the opponents of the tax, that there was not enough taxable property in the district to raise the $5,000 for building Letter List.

[Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] The "Qui Vives" gave an entertainment on Friday evening at the Grange Hall, which was a grand success, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all interested. The exercises consisted of music, solos, duets and choruses; tableaux, reading and the performance of two dramas, or a drama and a farce. Your correspondent is sorry that he was not able to be present, but from all accounts the audience enjoyed the evening very much. Over forty dollars was netted for the benefit of the church. A smoke-house, containing about $2,000 of smoked meat, was destroyed by fire on Monday. The property belonged to Nathan Sears and G. L Tompkins. Mr Robert Eccles is happy. It is a boy, and weighs fourteen and one-half pounds. Farmers are all busy planting corn and potatoes. Barley is looking very well, and promises a large yield. Ye gentle wind howled around fearfully last week, and did some damage. Several barns were unroofed, and Mr Robt Strong lost over five thousand peach trees. The bushes were just starting and the sand cut them off. All the lawyers of Anaheim, we are informed, went up yesterday to attend the Chinese case on trial in Los Angeles. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: H L Paty, 40 sks meal; Butter, 24 pkgs sundries; Halberstadt & Co., 4bbis lime, A G Beebe, 1 box paper; M D Hartley, 1 wind mill; G R Hinds, 1 sk corn; Jno Barbey, 2 sewing machines; J T Gifford, 1 sewing machine. In directing the reader's attention to the card of Messrs Humphreys & Titchenal, we can safely recommend the gentlemen as being thoroughly reliable and au fait in their business. Those wishing to invest capital in property anywhere in the Santa Ana valley, will find it profitable to consult with the gentlemen mentioned. The following washes for trees are recommended as very efficacious: One ounce of copperas to eight or ten gallons of water, forms a good wash, and is advised for trial as a preventative against blight. One pound of soda and one gallon of water forms a wash that cleans off all insects, and leaves the tree with fresh, young looking, healthy bark. The ladies who went around yesterday soliciting subscriptions, met with very gratifying success. In seven cases they received subscriptions of $50. This is the first time that the members of this church have ever asked for money, having hitherto endeavored to make it by fairs, etc. We heartily hope they may collect the necessary sum. Mr. Louis Bronson, Constable of Agua Calliente township, San Diego county, arrived here last evening in charge of Wilson Ely, whom he arrested at Potrero, eighteen miles from Milquatay, on the charge of stealing a saddle horse from Mesars, Gaddy & Lewis, of this town. A preliminary examination will be held before a Justice of the Peace. Mr. Robert Eccles is happy. It is a boy, and weighs fourteen and one-half pounds. Farmers are all busy planting corn and potatoes. Barley is looking very well, and promises a large yield. Ye gentle wind howled around fearfully last week, and did some damage Several barns were unroofed, and Mr. Robt. Strong lost over five thousand peach trees. The buds were just starting and the sand cut them off. The following incidents are perhaps worthy of interest, as they tend to illustrate the character of the citizens of this neighborhood. A few weeks ago a subscription was raised exclusively among the ladies, and a sewing machine was purchased and presented to Mr. S. B King, the wife of the Presbyterian minister in this place. The affair passed off pleasantly, and I am sure the givers enjoyed it fully as much as did the recipient. While the son of the Rev. Mr. King was barrowing, a few days ago, by an unfortunate accident, the harrow was turned over so that it fell against the horses, who ran away with the harrow and were so severely injured that they will be unable to work for several weeks. While Mr. King was looking around trying to purchase another team, the citizens generally resolved themselves into a committee of the whole, and to save him any further trouble, sent over twenty teams on last Tuesday to finish his plowing; of course it was all finished that day, and most of the ground was barrowed and made ready for the cornplanter. This work was not done because Mr. King was our minister, although we all appreciate him as a friend and neighbor, we admire him for his goodness of heart and broad charity and faithful work among us for all things that will work for our good; but the work was done because a friend was in trouble and needed assistance. This is not the first or the second time that our people have helped each other in the hour of need. In case of sickness, there is no community in the world who respond more willingly at the first intimation that assistance is needed. I feel glad to be in such a neighborhood where sectarianism and political prejudices, wealth or poverty, yield entirely to the charity of brotherly love. January 10th, 1876, Spring School District voted upon themselves a tax of $5,000 for building purposes, the vote standing 115 for and 24 against the tax, which was sufficiently decisive to indicate the wishes of the people in the matter. It was stated on the day of the election, by the opponents of the tax, that there was not enough taxable property in the district to raise the $5,000 for building purposes under the limit of seventy cents on the one hundred dollars. The trustees and the friends of the measure stated that if the opponents of the measure, mainly from the south end of the district, would vote to tax themselves to the extent of five thousand dollars, or their proportion of it, that they would give them the present school house and a new one besides, to be located according to the geographical centre in the southern end of the district. This seemed to satisfy all except those who always vote against a tax under any and all circumstances, and the tax was carried by the above described decisive vote. The assessment was made, and it only aggregated $401,000 of assessable property in the district, which would raise but $3,227—leaving a deficit of $1,773, under the seventy cent limit of the school law. Our idiotic Solons in the lower house were informed of the case and they were requested to draft and influence the passage of a bill enabling the trustees of this district to exceed the seventy cents limit sufficient to raise the $5,000 voted by the people. With true block-head sense, they went to work and drafted a bill, which was entirely superfluous, because it enables the trustees to do nothing but what they already had the power to do under the political code. Our delegation should be transferred to Stockton as soon as the Legislature adjourns, with the exception of Senator Bush. Enclosed you will find a bill introduced by him which is now a law which will cause a rattling among the dry bones of quackery and false pretensions. It is one of the best bills of this session of the Legislature, and is far superior properly enforced, to the one introduced by McConnell. We will, in our next review some of its provisions, and explain some of its working. As it is of vital importance to the people and of consequence to the legitimate practitioner of medicine. cine, we hope you will publish the bill in full. Andrus & Parker, of Orange, keep a first-class drug and prescription store. Physicians can rely upon them as careful and skillful compounders of prescriptions. April 3, 1876. Orange Items. Begular Correspondence of the Gazette. Colored Jo distanced our young friend Meyers in a foot race on the 50th. The unpleasant north-wester that blew last Thursday, played hob with several light frame structures. We have been shown a letter in answer to one written by the officials of the co-operative store. He states the printed duns were only intended for those holding stock before the Orange branch was established. Mistakes often occur in the best regulated families, but mistakes of such great enormity, and by business men, we can hardly understand. We suggest a boy book-keeper, or two tittering girls to conduct the business. H. Yargell and B. Guthrie, of this place, started for Virginia City on the 1st inst., with a band of cattle. The Semi Tropical Water Company awarded the contract to keep in repair the two ditches for the ensuing year to Capt. Geo. C. Knox, for the sum of one dollar. C. B. Woodhead was awarded $20 by the jury on Saturday, in the case of Woodhead vs. Evans. Saturday was a busy day for Orange Water-meeting, law suit, grand dispute and a dog fight. A. B. Chapman was in town Saturday. He appeared to be button-holeled by every one he met, and attended to more business than half a dozen average men. "Stick to what you say" is a proverb that many in this community would do well to heed. This is a temperance community but the time has passed when a very few fanatics can arise in their glory and say what shall and what shall not be done. Said fanatics' public spirit extends just as far as their individual financial benefits are concerned. A Card. I hereby return my sincere thanks to the people of Anaheim and surrounding country for their liberal patronage in the past, and would respectfully solicit a continuance of the same. I am now receiving a large and complete stock of first-class material for manufacturing saddles and harnesses, and in view of the hard times that are upon us, have concluded to put everything in my line down to bed-rook prices, for cash. Any and all styles of saddles, bridles and harness made to order on short notice, and at low rates as they can be had in Southern California. Also, in connection with the harness and saddlery department, I have secured the services of a first-class trimmer. Buggies, carriages and spring wagons trimmed on short notice, and at reasonable prices. Repairing neatly done on short notice. Respectfully, etc., J. S. Roberts. N. B.—All those knowing themselves indebted to the late firm of Thompson & Roberts, are requested to come forward and settle immediately and save trouble and costs. Prompt Reinforcement. When the physical energies are overnaked or flag through weakness or disease, they need prompt reinforcement. Renewed vigor is most specially applied through the medium of a tonic stimulant, and among medicinal resources of that class, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters assuredly deserve a prominent place. Weakness," whether constitutional or arising from disease or overfatigue cannot be better compensated for than by a resort to this prime strengthening cordial. The enfeebled invalid, the convulsive and the aged and infirm find that it is an unfailing source of vigor and comfort. Its combined tonic and alterative properties also constitute it an invaluable remedy for indigestion, weakness of the organs of urination, constipation, torpidify of the liver, and many other irregularities and disabilities, and render it an invaluable protection against malaria, as well as disorders of the stomach and bowels.

Sad fanatics' public spirit extends just as faras their individual financial benefits are concerned. We have been shown a specimen of coal from the adjacent hills, that appear to be a facsimile of the Pennsylvania block. Fred Reuter opened his saloon on Monday. Several of his friends from Anaheim and Santa Ana called, and everything we learn, passed off pleasantly. Fred says he will close on Sunday, and conduct a first-class house. The practical communicator, "Serutator," could have extended his sarcastic remarks, as far as this point, when he refers to "if you will, I won't," and "when I will, you won't." Mr. Galligar, across the creek, we venture to say, has the largest crop of potatoes planted of any one person in the county. He has fifty-two acres. Mr. Wakefield arrived on Monday and takes possession immediately of his ranch of 200 acres purchased of Mr. Watson last October. The following lines were taken from a series of resolutions now being circulated here: "Resolved, II. That we notice with regret that the Orange and Santa Ana correspondents of the Anaheim Gazette have grossly misrepresented this question, giving impression that we, as a people, desired a saloon here. We therefore respectfully request that such misrepresentation be never repeated." We defy the learned gentleman of resolutions to point to us one instance where X Y Z represented the people at large as being in favor of a saloon. Business is business, but wind costs nothing. Mr. Smith, of Anaheim, looked thoroughly over our valley on Tuesday, and appeared delighted with the outlook. Mr. Judson, of Tustin, called Tuesday. He reports everything lively—crops good, country prosperous, etc. The April number of Hall's Land Journal has made its appearance. We predict for it a prosperous future, as it appears to be well managed. Mr. Henry Neil and Marcus Meyers propose building a handsome livery stable here, costing from $700 to $1,000. We respectfully inform all whom it may concern, that our motto is "Independent in all things; neutral in nothing." The public well is the Orange well, and it is understood that the directors elected by the subscribers have full control of the same. The water is to be used for domestic purposes alone, and none is to be drawn away for irrigation. Mr. Forster, of Santa Ana, has been in town all week, building the business house of Mr. Reuter. fatigue cannot be better compensated for than by a resort to this prime strengthening cordial. The enfeebled invalid, the convalecent and the aged and infirm find that it is an unfailing source of vigor and comfort. Its combined tonic and alternative properties also constitute it an invaluable remedy for indigestion, weakness of the organs of urination, constipation, torpidity of the liver, and many other irregularities and disabilities, and render it an invaluable protection against malaria, as well as disorders of the stomach and bowels.

The public well is the Orange well, and it is understood that the directors elected by the subscribers have full control of the same. The water is to be used for domestic purposes alone, and none is to be drawn away for irrigation. Mr. Forster, of Santa Ana, has been in town all week, building the business house of Mr. Reuter. The remonstrance now in circulation reminds us of child's play. The proper time would have been when the arrangements to build were first made, especially when every one knew it a week beforehand. To come now, after a man has built, and put in his stock, is really out of place, and ridiculous. Why not petition our Board of Supervisors to change this school district to Orange instead of Richland. C. P. Webber and Ernest McGibbon have taken hold of the Hyglean Home. They will put it in thorough repair, change the name probably to "Orange Hotel," and make other improvements. We know them to be gentlemen, and the travelling public will find them accommodating. Dr. Burnett and Dr. Mason have formed a copartnership, and one or the other, we learn, will be in Orange every day, from clever to one, except Sunday, at the Orange Drug Store. The subscribers toward boring or digging the public well are requested to meet at the hotel on Saturday evening at 7 o'clock to elect three directors and trafacts other business of Importance. A full attendance is requested. We notice several loads of potatoes passing through the streets bound for Newport Landing. The person that locates a shoe shop, tin shop, cabinet shop, or any other kind of shop, in Orange will surely reap a reward in the future. X. Y. Z, April 5th, 1876. One of the largest laundries in Los Angeles has been obliged to close up. Is not this a reflection upon the disposition of the people there, with regard to cleanliness. All the wash-houses of Anahaim are making money rapidly.
