John Hurst, aged 21 years, a stepson of Captain John Anderson, died at Newport on Monday. He was buried at Santa Ana yesterday. The following are the exports from the depot this morning: 83 bales wool, 37,303 lbs; 19 sacks beans, 9,171 lbs; 2 barrels tallow, 3,960 lbs; 1 barrel whisky, 380 lbs; 3 boxes soda bottles, 225 lbs. A large drove of cattle were encamped near Anaheim last night. They were the property of Don Juan Forster, of Santa Margarita ranch, and are to be taken to the San Francisco market. Mr. Tim Boege has purchased the stock of Messrs. Evars and Luedke in the hotel at the depot. Tim has always come out first best in everything he has undertaken, and ought to succeed as a hotel keeper. We wish him success. The suit of Mr. Caldwell against Mr. Evans, to recover a debt connected with the building of the Artesia school house, was brought up before Justice Clark yesterday, and decided in favor of Mr. Evans. The following are the shipments from the depot during the month of April: Wine, 93,292 pounds; wool, 209,000 pounds; spuds, 51,531 lbs; trees, 1,520 pounds; merchandise, 35,019 pounds; stock, 7,500 pounds; hides, 4,607 pounds; grain, 111,251 pounds; beans; 16,288 pounds. Total, 493,764 pounds. Mr. J. D. Linderman, who committed suicide some days ago in San Francisco, was well known to our Anaheim people. He came here some seven years ago, and worked for Mr. Boldt, of this place. He bought a tract of land near the railroad depot which he afterwards sold to Mr. Fred. Langenberger and Mr. Tim Boege. He then purchased a bee ranch in Brea canon, which has since been disposed of. He was considered of unsound mind. His wife is now residing in Anaheim. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: J B Pierce, 1 pkgs tools; A Langenberger, 10 pkgs mdse; J H Fruit, 3 Mr. Wartenburg's team took a little pasea on their own account on Centre street yesterday. It was good fun for the horses, and did not seem to annoy Wartenburg, who is probably used to it by this time. The matter of drunken people prowling around the printing office in the dead of night, we have treated very lightly heretofore. Its frequent occurrence has become monotonous, and a repetition may be met with serious consequences. The County Treasurer's report for April shows the following expenditures during that month on the several funds: Current expense fund, $2,997 54; gopher and squirrel fund, $41 74; school fund, $8,298 59; salary fund, $2,281 75; road fund, $841 65; hospital fund, $1,719 25. Total, $16,183 55. The entire debt of the county, according to Auditor Gould's report, up to date, is $661,493 78. The cash in the Treasury is $122,144 21, so that the total indebtedness of the county is $539,349 57. Pete Richards is said to have some whisky at his saloon which is twenty-four years old. It is perhaps needless to remark that Pete has not had it on hand that length of time. Mr. Edward Lyon is proving himself to be the Prince of Auctioneers. He can talk more dollars out of mens' pockets for things they do not want than any man in the county. The jurors from this section for the term of the County Court, May 15, are Alexander Bailey, T. Carrol and John Edwards. Mr. P. Hilton was in town yesterday endeavoring to organize a company of sheep-men to erect works at this place for the purpose of killing and trying the tallow from sheep. It is estimated that the works will cost about $3,000. Quite a number of stock-men will take part in the enterprise.

Mr. Boldt, of this place. He bought a tract of land near the railroad depot which he afterwards sold to Mr. Fred. Langenberger and Mr. Tim. Boege.

From Thursday's Daily. The estate of A. Hill will be sold at auction on the 10th day of June. All our store keepers are busy arranging the new goods for the summer which are now arriving by every steamer. Mr. A. L. George purchased eighty acres of land adjoining J. B. Pierce's farm, yesterday. One simple drunk was all in the way of transgression which could be found to employ our valiant officers yesterday. Taken up for trespass and damages, a bright bay saddle mare, with blaze in her face, belonging to James Viles Jr. The owner is requested to come forward, prove property, pay charges and damages, and for this advertisement, and take her away, or she will be sold under the trespass act She may be seen, when not in use, in coral in the rear of Dr. Yocum's residence.

I wagon; A Guy Smith & Co, 14 cars lumber. We have been requested to draw public attention to the reprehensible conduct of certain youth, who make a daily practice of bathing in the zanja, to the very great annoyance of ladies and others. As it is the intention of the complaining parties to criminally prosecute the offenders, should the practice complained of be continued, it may be interesting to know that the offense is punishable by a fine of $500 or six months imprisonment. A gentleman was in town on Tuesday for the purpose of introducing among our merchants a line of gloves and buggy robes made from the skins of the Angora goat. He showed us some hair, elipped from the Angora goats which were brought to this country by Mr. Harris. He also had some samples of the cashmere, which differs widely from the Angora. An introduction of a good class of articles made from goat skins will tend materially to increase the profits derived from goat raising.

All are invited. —At the auction sale yesterday, Mr. Menzel purchased King William, and John Bush bought the hero of the little hatchet. —We understand that preparations are being made for the establishment of a Grange store on an extensive scale in the neighborhood of the depot. —Messrs.

Board met in regular session this morning. Present: Supervisors Hinds Young and Hammon; Mr. Hinda in the Chair. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. The resignation of B. W. Deffendorfer, as constable at Santa Monica, received and accepted. The reports of the County Physician and County Auditor were received and referred to Messrs. Hammon and Young. Reported back and ordered on file. Petitions for building bridges over San Gabriel river, at the 10-Mile House and at Washington Crossing, were set for hearing on the first Tuesday in June. Petition to appoint James M. Armour constable for San Jose township, granted. Petition to appoint constable at Santa Monica taken up; A. H. Miller appointed. Adjourned until to-morrow. TUESDAY, May 2. Board met this morning at 10:30. Present: Supervisors Hinds, Evey, Young and Hannon. A petition for a new school district to be called Fountain Valley, on the Bobsa, was laid over until the next session. Report of Jas. Lamb, Land Overseer for Ballona district, received and placed on file. A petition to appoint William H. Moore Road Overseer of San Joaquin district, was laid over until next meeting. The petition to appoint a Special Constable for Anaheim was rejected. Petition of D. K. Shrode, asking pay for planting trees on the highway. Rejected, as the Board had never made regulations under the general law. Report of the viewers on Los Angeles and Washington road, with map and field notes, received, and the case set for hearing June 6th, 1870. The Road Overseer of Monte road district was authorized to sell lumber belonging to the county, as authorized by Sec. 4046 Political Code. Santa Ana News. [Regular Correspondence of the Gatherers] We were very much pained upon seeing statements made in the Eastern papers, that Walker, the Vinegar Bitters man, had got into trouble with his wife; and a divorce was in prospect. And we think that when your readers come to look the matter over, they likewise will be pained through pure sympathy and gratitude to Mr. Walker. What do we owe to this benefactor of the human race? Vinegar Bitters! The very name imparts a pleasurable sensation. We have tasted of all sorts of things in our life, from iceac to mustang liniment, and while there was a wavering-call it weak if you will—in our mind at times, as to whether Vinegar Bitters or the superior grades of eye water were superior in flavor, still our better taste has always, eventually, decided in favor of Vinegar Bitters. Take away our early cocktail; remove the beverage called "blue rains;" lock up the gin and tansy; cut off the sheepherder's delight; bury from our sight soda water and pop—but don't meddle with our Vinegar Bitters. Entertaining such an appreciation of this seductive potion, it is but natural we should be pained when trouble befalls its great discoverer. There was only one thing we ever feared in this beverage, and that was the strong hold it gained on the appetite, leading to danger from over-indulgence. We have seen strong men quiver with regret that they lived so long before it was invented, or that they could not get all they wanted of it. We sincerely hope that Walker's earthly afflictions will only stimulate him to make a future grade of bitters which, by its divine afflatus, will electrify a cornfield scare-crow, and by its flavor become a national drink. We advise our friends who live in the suburbs of Orange (the people of Orange taking no interest in the matter) to adopt this delightful beverage as a community drink, and discard soda water, brandy and pop, etc., and they will soon starve the saloon man out. The "ex-Rev." we alluded to came out in a letter in the Gazette a day or two ago, and as he was seen to draft the resolution we referred to at J. W. Anderson & Co.'s store, and the insination that he throws out that he is not aware of it (he seems to be The lumber yard of A. Guy Smith & Co. is now well stocked with lumber of all descriptions. Another vessel-load is expected soon. There was a rumor yesterday that the ranchos San Joaquin and Santiago had been sold to a party of colonists. There is as yet no authentic information to that effect. Yesterday there was considerable excitement in the collection business. Every one was rushing around with a bundle of accounts. It reminded us of the old steamer days of San Francisco. A writ of possession was served on D. K. Williams yesterday in favor of H. C. Amador. The property in dispute is the house near the corner of Lemon and First North streets. Land sales in this section have been very brisk during the last few days. As soon as the great water ditch is completed nearly every foot of land will find a purchaser. The sheep of Messrs. Ludoviche & Kimball have been stopped near the Kramer place by the Deputy County Assessor until the taxes are be paid to this county. The matter of the sheep-trying works, mentioned two days ago, is attracting serious attention, and there is every possibility of the speculation assuming a tangible shape before long. Mr. Harmon, of Santa Ana, informs us that he has not seen a wild out for twelve years; and yet Dr. Jones extracted one, together with a small pebble, from his ear two days ago. He has suffered considerable, but is now recovering. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: Conrad, 18 empty kegs; J W Anderson & Co., 1 box books; Gaddy & Lewis, 1 singletree; Fritz Reuter 1 box mdse; Frank Freisenecker, 1 box mdse; Mrs. Payne 3 pkgs mdse; W King, 4 empty kegs; C French, 11 pkgs mse; P Davis & Bros, 2 pkgs mdse; W Crowther, 2 bars iron; J C Edwards, 2 pkgs; A Guy Smith & Co., 10 cars of lumber. The Express says: "The Bolsa Chica Wharf has been seized." We are sorry to learn this fact. The wharf has been not only a great convenience to the people of this section, but it has been knocked upon that blasted meeting. The petition to appoint a Special Constable for Anaheim was rejected. Petition of D. K. Shrode, asking pay for planting trees on the highway. Rejected, as the Board had never made regulations under the general law. Report of the viewers on Los Angeles and Washington road, with map and field notes, received, and the case set for hearing June 6th, 1876. The Road Overseer of Monte road district was authorized to sell lumber belonging to the county, as authorized by Sec. 4046 Political Code. The District Attorney was allowed $20 per month for office rent. Wm. Mulloch was allowed $125 for land taken for road purposes near the Mission. The District Attorney was instructed to commence proceedings to condemn land of G. Smith and B. Ballerino for the Monte Vista road along the foot hills to the Cauneuga mountains.

We advise our friends who live in the suburbs of Orange (the people of Orange taking no interest in the matter) to adopt this delightful beverage as a community drink, and discard soda water, brandy and pop, etc., and they will soon starve the saloon man out. The "ex-Rev." we alluded to came out in a letter in the GAZETTE a day or two ago, and as he was seen to draft the resolution we referred to at J.W. Anderson & Co.'s store, and the insination that he throws out that he is not an "ex-Rev.", (he seems to be ashamed of both being an "ex-Rev." and of draiting the resolution.) is as false as the resolution itself. He stands convicted of begging the question. If it is not a species of forgery to add resolutions to a petition after securing signatures thereto, we do not know what forgery is, and besides, if we had happened to be misinformation on that point he has not retracted the falsehood contained in resolution second. He could not, therefore, expect us to retract anything that is apparently true, before he does so. His threat in the wind-up is as fanatical, senseless and impudent as men of his calibre can make them. As far as we are concerned this ends the matter with us. Suppose we allow the temperance people of Orange to get in a word edgewise? "Where is Inman?" is the all-absorbing question in Santa Ana. Echo answers, "Where?" Emil Harris telegraphs that he is safe in Arizona before this time. The Star says that Miss Ollie France was accidentally shot on the way to the Laguna Cafion. Perhaps if the Star would quit filleching items from other papers without giving credit, it would be more accurate. Master Ollie Frame was the party injured and is doing well. We would advise X Y Z to be a little more circumspect in making lasinuations against the School Trustees of this district. It is true that the books are being thoroughly investigated, but as yet nothing but a noose system of keeping books has been discovered. The fact that Inman victimized new comers, mostly, is to be regretted; that he caught none of the old ones, as Cameron did the good people of Anaheim and Tustin City some time ago, is wonderful. Those who took particular pains to introduce him to the public, especially the new-comers, should sleep sweetly and dream pleasant dreams. Nap Donovan swears vengeance on him and the express man—the former for fleecing him to the tune of $200, and the latter for not sending his roller on time, so that he could issue the Valley News on last Saturday. Our local artist—who bids fair to rival Nast as a cartoonist—depicts Donovan in the office door inquiry "Where's Inman?" In the distance is the Anaheim depot with a train of cars ready to start and Inman on a sharp run, with a carpet bag labelled $1100. None but the victims can appreciate it. Quite a lively time was bad here at a school election, held for the purpose The Express says: "The Bolsa Chica Wharf has been seized." We are sorry to learn this fact. The wharf has been not only a great convenience to the people of this section, but it has acted as a check upon that blarsted monopoly—the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Had it not been for this identical wharf, the prosperity and business interests of Anaheim would have suffered. We hope that steps will be immediately taken to have the wharf yanked out of the meshes of the law, so that our commercial interests will not languish. We learn by a gentleman who was at San Buenaventura on Tuesday, that the effort made on Monday to save the Kalorama was unsuccessful. She was worked out by cables and hawkers to deep water, when she was found to be so open in the hull as to fill rapidly. Finding that she would sink, the lines were let go, and she drifted back on the beach, where she was lying broadside on Tuesday night, and the surf breaking over her. She will doubtless go to pieces. Our Sheriff's office was thrown into a fever of excitement yesterday by the report that two men had been overheard concocting a plan to rob the Overland Stage when it came to San Fernando last night. Under Sheriff Barham went to the depot; but there were no signs of their having left here. It is well to say that our citizens had better not leave anything of value around loose. Goodman & Rimpau's specialities: Laileal dress goods, furnishing goods, ladies underwear, embroidery, children's furnishing goods, carpet, oil cloth, matting, etc., etc., selling so near cost there's no fun in it.

A large land slide occurred a few days ago at Red Hill, Trinity county, destroying several fields of alfalfa belonging to the Jacobs brothers. Captain William Y. Douglass, of the San Francisco Police force, when not engaged at the Police Office, makes patch-work quilts to pass away the time. He has just completed one of the "log cabin" pattern, which contains 6,525 pieces. Watson's Ferry, Fresno county, is the great shearing camp of the sheep ralsers of that part of the San Joaquin plains. The Expositor reports that 110,000 head of sheep were shorn there last Spring, and that the Spring clip this season will be from 132,000 head, the product being about 3,000 bales of wool. People living along the line between Fresno and Tulare counties complain because their property is being deminished in both counties. George E. Barrett, living eight miles from Suisun, has discovered a paint mine on his farm. A glove factory has been started at Merced. Grasshoppers are reported as plentiful in the foot hills in Colusa county. The manufacturing establishment at Antioch, engaged in preparing tule for upholstery purposes, is doing a thriving business. Quite a lively time was bad here at a school election, held for the purpose of electing a collector for the purpose of collecting the tax voted some time ago, and for the purpose of allowing the trustees to transfer property. Two tickets were in the field—A. W. Birch was the candidate of the party in favor of transferring the property, and Thos. Jefferson Smith represented those who would rather have one sore than two. 160 votes were cast—Birch 114; Smith 47. J. W. Lowe is enlarging his blacksmith and wagon shop, so as to increase his facilities for the manufacture and repairing of wagons, carriages etc. A new rustic front with a suggestive sign will add much to the appearance of his shop. Dr. T. B. Williams, of Cincinnati, is now stopping in this section of country, seeking to restore his lost health. He is highly elated with the country, as his health has steadily improved since coming here. He is a nephew of the celebrated oculist and aurist of Cincinnatti, Prof. E. Williams. He spent several years in Vienna and other European capitals, perfecting his education. As soon as he is sufficiently recovered from the effects of overwork, he will probably locate in this valley and pursue the practice of his speciality. He is stopping with Mr. L. J. Lockhart near Orange. May 4th. D. Nagle, the Fashionable Boot and Shoe Maker, on Centre street, opposite the new bank building, is now prepared to manufacture to order from the best material and in a style of workmanship not to be surpassed. Boot and shoe findings always on hand. $1,000 can be borrowed upon good security if applied for immediately, to Fred W. Athearn. WESTMINSTER HOME. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] I have been requested to act as your regular correspondent from this place, and have consented to do so for a short period, or until an abler writer can be induced to accept the position. I shall attempt to state everything of interest as it occurs without fear, favor or prejudice. "X Y Z" put his foot in it nicely last week when he began flinging mud at Westminster. Perhaps he will say they have no mud, so we will change it to gravel. "Westminster ought to have a paper of her own to discuss neighborhood quarrels, and not use more than half a page of the Gazette." Now, Mr. Editor, is it not true that the Orange folks have occupied more than three times as much space on their temperance soda-water-saloon question than ever we have on any question of a local nature? We are for temperance in all things, and total abstinence from some. We therefore think it inconsistent to make such an ado over a little wine beer and soda water, when every store sells tobacco and cigars. The use of tobacco is more pernicious and disgusting than the use of fermented or distilled liquors, but we will admit that the combination of the two is fearful to contemplate, or to smell. One question has been asked me several times, that is: "Was what Novice said about the school trustees tropical or not?" It is generally considered that it was, as the public generally condemn the course of our school house ring, whose economy consisted in giving the contract to the highest bidder. The painting was done by a young man whose only qualification for the work is that of being a brother of one of our trustees, while the bid of Mr. P. H. Cullen, a practical painter, was not even noticed; and it is said that it was eight dollars less than that of his successful competitor. Deliver us from such economy. Mr. M. B. Craig has concluded to divide up twenty acres of his land into town lots to supply the demand. The Westminster hotel coach will soon run daily between this place and Anaheim. The colonists celebrated the first of Dragging out Existence. The nervous, weakly invalid does not enjoy life, but merely "drags out existence" as the phrase is. Unfitted for the active pursuits of life, and incapable of partaking of its pleasures, to which health alone can give rest; disinclined to social intercourse, and a prey to melancholy, the valentudinarian is indeed an object of pity. Yet there is nothing in all this that cannot be remedied by that genial alterative tonic and nervine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which supplies deficient stamina, braces the nervous system, and overcomes those bodily irregularities to which nervous weakness is most frequently attributed. Diseases of the kidney and bladder, imperfect digestion, uterine troubles are fortile sources of debility. Their eradication, however, becomes a matter of certainty when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are systematically used for that purpose. The Bitters likewise annihilate and prevent fever and ague and other debilitating febrile complaints of a malarial nature.
