At a meeting of the Southern District Agricultural Society, the week for holding the next annual fair was set from Monday, October 9th, to October 14th, inclusive. It was resolved to give a first-class agricultural and stock exhibition, and the people generally of the district are requested to contribute to the success of the fair as much as possible. We had a call yesterday from Mr. Gardner, of the firm of Gardner & Aldrich, of Westminster. These gentlemen have built a fine, commodious hotel in the colony, and are now prepared to receive an unlimited number of guests. In a few days they intend to have a coach run between Westminster and the depot on the arrival and departure of trains. Meyer, of the Idaho Bakery, will commence the manufacture of ice cream to-day, and he intends to keep a full supply on hand all summer. We have been asked to request the hot and feverish public not to apply for ice cream before 9 o'clock this morning, as it will be that hour ere it is ready. A decidedly pugnacious gentleman from the Landing was taking a tour through town on Sunday. He represented himself as chief of the place, and as no one disputed it, the chances Mr. Philip Davis intends proceeding directly to New York with his immense wool clip, and will probably make a tour through Europe before his return. Our readers who have birds' nests in the shrubs and vines about their premises will do well to look out for some unpleasant visitors now-a-days. A gentleman who lives on the hill at the head of Second street, discovered about dusk last evening a gray snake, fully three feet in length, leisurely making its way down his front step. The reptile was promptly killed, but not without making a vicious demonstration towards a fight. Our friend informs us that there is a large vine growing upon the end of his front porch, in which three or four pairs of birds have lodged their nests. Doubtless the snake had climbed up the vine to secure the birds or their young. We warn our readers to look out for these ugly callers.—Herald. From Thursday's Daily. Joe Goodrich has bought the milk route from Lum Smith. The wife and son of Carlos W. Shane, of Orange, will arrive in July. Mr. L. Bixby was among the arrivals by train from Los Angeles last evening. The examinations in the public schools of Los Angeles commence on Friday of next week. F. R. Angell has received the appointment of short-hand reporter for the County Court. Ex-Governor Downey and wife left Los Angeles on Tuesday for the Centennial. A large number of people from the Bolsas District were in town yesterday making preparations for the harvest. A young man named Sommerfeld, of Tustin City, was arrested yesterday, and will be tried before Judge Clark. Brigadier General commanding 1st Brigade made the following applause: A.

We have been asked to request the hot and feverish public not to apply for ice cream before 9 o'clock this morning, as it will be that hour ere it is ready. —A decidedly pugnacious gentleman from the Landing was taking a tour through town on Sunday. He represented himself as chief of the place, and as no one disputed it, the chances for a fight were small, and our hero consolled himself with huge bumpers of "bug juice," which soon rendered him incapable of any violent actions. —The train of lumber cars which came down for A. Guy Smith & Co. on Sunday was run off on the switch with too much force; and before it could be stopped, ran through the fence at the lower end of the lumber yard. Some slight damage was done to both cars and fence. —A dog fight took place yesterday on Los Angeles street, and a young man named Saler becoming a little heafed by the sport, rushed in and stabbed one of the dogs with a knife. For this little pastime he paid the owner of the dog ten dollars. —The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 78 bales wool, 1 trunk, 299 sacks barley, 17 bxs soda bottles.

The importance of that section warrants the speedy establishment of adequate mail facilities. —a favorite pastime among the young hoodlums in town is setting a noose and catching Chinamen by the feet. It appears to be fun for the boys but is not at all relished by their pig-tailed victims. —We learn that the term "Buck Beer," was first applied in 1832 to a peculiar brew of beer which was made at a garden or place of public resort which stood on a certain small hill near the city of Berlin. We quote Mr. Menzel as our authority. —We remember distinctly when two vessel loads of lumber a year would have overstocked the market.

A grand ball will be given at the Tivoli Garden on Sunday. Mr. Conrad knows how to get up a good time, and we are sure that all who attend will be pleased with their trip. The stages will start from the center of town every half hour during the day. A most elegant piece of workmanship can be seen at the jewelry store of Mr. R. Luedke, on Centrestreet. It is a clock, made by Mr. Luedke in 1852, for which he was offered at that time a fifty vara lot in San Francisco, now worth one hundred thousand dollars. The clock is valued at five hundred dollars. We have appointed Mr. G. A. Cameron agent to solicit subscriptions for the Daily and Weekly Gazette, and have authorized him to receive money in payment for the same. Mr. Cameron will make a thorough canvass of the entire county, and we hope all friends of the Gazette will give him substantial encouragement. Perhaps we have not discovered anything new regarding the terminus of the railroad, but we have become strongly impressed with the fact that the Southern Pacific Railroad terminating at Anaheim, has brought more drummers for all classes and descriptions of trade than ever was known to the citizens of this section before. A gentleman who is fond of noticing the phenomena of nature, remarked to us yesterday that the grasshoppers were about to visit us this season. He says that one week ago he noticed them near Westminster, and that they are rpidly approaching the town. It is fortunate for us that a crop of grasshoppers can effect nothing except to furnish food for the turkeys. We learn that the term "Buck Beer," was first applied in 1832 to a peculiar brew of beer which was made at a garden or place of public resort which stood on a certain small hill near the city of Berlin. We quote Mr. Menzel as our authority. We remember distinctly when two vessel loads of lumber a year would have overstocked the market. Yesterday, more than a vessel load passed through our town, on wagons, destined for the various improvements which are in progress in this immediate vicinity. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A Guy Smith & Co., 7 cars lumber; P, 12 pkgs mdse; P D & Bro, 90 pkgs mdse; J W Anderson & Co., 2 cases mdse; L G, 17 pkgs mdse; R McGibbon 1 c mdse; C & W, 4 c mdse; H Burdcl, 14 joints well pipe; P Davis & Bro, 4 cases mdse; P, 2 pkgs mdse; D W Freeman, 1 pkg pinions; J W A & Co, 2 pkgs mdse; P C McKinnie, 4 pkgs busters; H Henderbrink, 1 cylinder; H Sommerfield, 1 pkg mdse; C & W, 4 pkgs mdse; L Shrewsbury, 1 pkg mdse; L Gildermacher, 2 pkgs mdse; C & W, 10 bxs soap; A Wright, 1 can tar. On the last trip down of the Ancon, a small seal crawled up the steps at the side of the ship, while she was lying off San Pedro. It was thrown back into the water several times, but persistently returned, and was on the vessel when it reached San Diego. It was again committed to its mother element in that harbor, but returned to the vessel. Since then it has been in the possession of a resident of San Diego; and, though it goes regularly into the bay every day, it returns to its new home as soon as it comes out of the water. Brigadier General E. M. Sanford, commanding 1st Brigade N. G. C., has made the following appointments: A. A. General, Henry Martyn Smith, Los Angeles; Ordinance Officer, N. A. Corvarrublae, Santa Barbara; Quartermaster, F. Ganahl, Los Angeles; Comisary, Albert J. Johnston, Los Angeles; Inspector, John F. Godfrey, Los Angeles; Judge Advocate, H. M. Willis, San Bernardino; Paymaster, Meyer J. Newmark, Los Angeles; Surgeon H. S. Orme, Los Angeles; Aid de Camp, F. Guirado. We saw several packages of Alden dried fruit yesterday at Plato's store. The fine, clean appearance of the fruit, added to the fact that they retain all the natural flavor, will make the Alden dried fruits much sought after when they are more thoroughly introduced to popular notice. We understand that a petition is in circulation for the appointment of Mr. Breed as Justice of the Peace in the place of S. Randall. A. Bailey and D. W. C. Cowan will also be candidates for the position. From Friday's Daily. Westminster will soon have seven or eight headers at work in the grain fields of that section. The case of the People vs. M. Sommerfield, was postponed until to-day for jury trial. The price of water for irrigating in Orange has been raised from forty to fifty cents per hour. The case of the People vs. T. J. Scully, will come up before Judge O'Melveny, in Los Angeles, on the 18th Witnesses were summoned yesterday. The Gazette is becoming an indispensable companion to every well regulated household in the county. Its news is fresh and reliable. Arthur Heimann has bought the Orange Home. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. The private social at the hotel on Saturday night was to a certain degree marred by a drunken hoodlum from Tustin. A repetition of the same conduct will not be healthy, for the boys are on it, big. X Y Z having spent eight days abroad, feels fresh and trisky; a gain of one pound per day. Henceforth would warn light-weight champions to be on their guard. Well, Señor Lux, being as it is you, we will consider the source, and as we supposed all the fools in this vicinity were dead, we skin it all back, and we don't think you have brains enough in the colony to edit a paper. Our reporter informs us that the May-dav picnic was way-up, also the Sunday School picnic on the 6th; however, the latter was not so numerously attended. We received a report from the party attending the exhibition at Rincon under the supervision of his honor J. M. Wright. The performance was excellent, and all enjoyed it—after getting there; but the gittin' thar was the rub. A bog or two in the river, a breaking of double-trees, runaway, etc., marred the enjoyment of the gentlemen to the tune of poco plata. The letter of S.A. would lead one to believe that the gentleman drew his conclusions from one letter only. Now, we would advise the Señor to examine back files before he advances more argument. Our Constable, we notice, has a new hat. The Dep. Co. Assessor, we see, has purchased a buggy. It is now in order to hear from some one else on the saloon question, Only four or five have ventilated their thinness. Who's next? One of the finest fields of corn in this vicinity belongs to Mr. Toler, one mile north of Orange. We have it from three different persons that the lecture mentioned some time ago was only responded to by two out of fifty; that the detention of scholars was almost an hour after the time to dismiss, etc.,—the letter of the 16th to the contrary. Orange will yet make its mark in the world, for we saw a Young American about six years old pass up the length. We noticed one yellow fig tree hanging full of fruit. We were told they never have frost on the island, and seeing a three-year-old tomato vine convinced us on that point. The morning we left for home, the old stars and stripes were hoisted in honor of our departure. A sail of five hours landed us at the Wilmington wharf. The night was spent under the hospitality of Capt. Howland and lady. In due time Orange was once more our welcome home. The want of space excludes a more minute detail. X. Y. Z. May 9, 1576. Westminster Items. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette] At a meeting of the members of the Cemetery Association, held on the 8th inst., the following Directors were elected: Rev. T. B. King, Josiah McCoy, W. F. Poor, M. B. Craig and T. C. Hull. A fine horse was stolen from P. N. Napier, on Monday night. Mr. W. F. Poor has just received a Norman range from the city. What does it mean? Our worthy Superintendent, Rev. Robert Strong, has taken your correspondent to task for writing the item about school matters, which appears in last week's Gazette. We intended to say no more about those irregularities, unless some provocation was offered, and only allude to it now for the purpose of quoting an article which he peined and posted on the bulletin board at the Post-office, evidently intending it to be published. It is addressed to Lux, and we think it very good and really amusing; but as the author is not not one of the Trustees, and has no children in our school, the latter part of the first proverb quoted "but every fool will be meddling;" acts considerably like a boomerang. It is couched in the following words, and speaks for itself: "To the last unknown correspondent of the Anaheim Gazette, calling himself Light (Lux.) Please snuff your candle; or, if the smoke and bad smell will come, put it out. We don't like to have the world judge us by such light. "It is an honor to a man to cease from strife, but every fool will be meddling." — Proverbs xx-3. He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor; but a man of understand- In Orange has been raised from forty to fifty cents per hour. —The case of the People vs. T. J. Scully, will come up before Judge O'Melveny, in Los Angeles, on the 18th. Witnesses were summoned yesterday. —The GAZETTE is becoming an indispensable companion to every well regulated household in the county. Its news is fresh and reliable. —Arthur Heimann has bought the interest of St. John & Miner in the Planters' Hotel. Arthur will conduct the hotel hereafter. Success to him. —If Mr. C. C. Royce will give the postmaster of Monmouth, Illinois, his address, he may hear of something to his advantage. (Southern California papers please copy.) —A petition for the appointment of A. Bailey as Justice of the Peace was in circulation yesterday. Flitty-two signatures were obtained on one petition in one hour. —A gentleman who visited Anaheim Landing yesterday reports to us that successful progress is being made in removing the bark, Ella, which was stranded some time ago about two and a half miles from that place. The engineer thinks that the vessel will be allotted in about two weeks. Letter List.

Orange will yet make its mark in the world, for we saw a Young American about six years old pass up the street yesterday pulling at one end of a stump cigar. Robt Furlong has been with a surveying party in the upper part of the State. He says running over mountains has improved his health very much. He starts East first of June. Mr J. Hayward was in town yesterday. He reports the bee business in San Diego county good. Crops look well, and he predicts a prosperous season. The first number of the Valley News made its appearance on Saturday. We congratulate Donovan on the neat appearance of this paper, and hope for it a prosperous future. The water facilities of Orange were never better than at present. The joint stock wen will be agitated thoroughly this week. THE SANTA CATALINA RUSTICATING PARTY. On April 28th, fifteen jolly persons mounted a four-house wagon bound for the port of San Pedro. Lou Hayward manipulated the ribbons, and at dusk we passed through the village of Wilmington, and soon reached the anchored sloop of Capt. Howlands. After striking camp in San Pedro, the evening was spent in lively conversation until bed time, when the assembled party spread their blankets, and rosy smumor soon deprived them of an world of trouble (except the young ladies who had never yet spent a night out doors.) Morning dawned, calm and serene. Captain North, our commander, and Anne Hayward, his assistant, soon had all on board, except three who took passage on board a fishing smack. Our son acting veiled in a cloud of light fog, we spent a delightful two hours passing out the harbor and up the coast. Crossing the 25 miles of water, the conversation lagged, and everyone on board, except four, talked freely of numerous resorts, but the most common expression was New York. Anyone passing over the exact course taken within the next two months will find the fish extremely fat. After twelve long hours, we cast anchor at what is known as the isthmus. Captain E. Andrews met us in a skiff, and with true poiteness extended a hearty welcome. It was last growing dark, and we partook of his kind invitation to partake of shelter under his roof for the night. The invitation did not extend for the one night only, but for the whole time we were on the island, and I must say that never did a party fall into better and kinder hands than "but every fool will be meddling," acts considerably like a boomerang. It is couched in the following words, and speaks for itself: "To the last unknown correspondent of the Anaheim Gazette, calling himself Light (Luz.) Please snuff your candle; or, if the smoke and bad smell will come, put it out. We don't like to have the world judge us by such light. It is an honor to a man to cease from strife, but every fool will be meddling." — Proverbs xx-3. He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor; but a man of understanding holdeth his peace." — Proverbs xi-12. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out; so where there is no tale-bearer the strife ceaseth." (Signed) ROBERT STRONG." The "bad smell" arises wholly from the new addition to the school house, and we consider a thorough ventilation only remedy to apply. We are sorry that there is any occasion to criticise the action of our board, and while we esteem the trustees individually, we claim the right to shed light upon anything which looks crooked in our public servants, even if it occurs within the sacred precincts of the colony. The candile has been snuffed, but it shines the brighter for it. Lux. The Anti-Chinese Meeting: The Anti-Chinese meeting, held in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening was largely attended, and passed of peaceably. Alfred Moore was chosen Chairman, and J. G. Smith, Secretary. In the absence of Col. Kewen, the Chairman introduced Stephen M. White, who addressed the meeting. He argued that the evil of Chinese immigration could only be stopped by Congress, and deprecated any violence in dealing with the question. Mr. T. B. Gardner offered the following resolution which was adopted: Resolved, That the citizens of Los Angeles county, while they deprecate and emphatically condemn the presence of Chinese coolies in our midst, and declare that their being amongst us is detrimental to our moral and social prosperity, we most sincerely and earnestly invoke the aid of the Government to relieve us of a curse that bears seriously upon every branch of our community. The Farmers in the vicinity of Lakeport have organized a co-operative association, with the nominal capital of $30,000, for the purpose of doing a general mercantile business at Lakeport. The largest and most valuable right whale ever caught at Pigeon Point was brought in by the whalers of that place on Thursday last. It is about 50 feet in length and will yield about 100 barrels of oil, which, with bone, is estimated to be worth $2,500. The Eureka Sentinel states that there is a Chinese washerman in that town engaged to be married to a white girl at Sacramento.

Anyone passing over the exact course taken within the next two months will find the fish extremely fat. After twelve long hours, we cast anchor at what is known as the isthmus. Captain E. Andrews met us in a skiff, and with true poiteness extended a hearty welcome. It was last growing dark, and we partook of his kind invitation to partake of shelter under his roof for the night. The invitation did not extend for the one night only, but for the whole time we were on the island, and I must say that never did a party fall into better and kinder hands than we did. Capt. Anderson, of the Coast Survey, Mr Johnson and Mr. Freeman, his assistants, are long to be remembered by all the party, and, in fact, by everyone that comes within the bounds of their generosity. Fishing, bunting the wild goat, gathering shells and moss was our pastime, and well did we improve it. One of the party killed seven wild goats and captured three young ones. Two of them died after reaching Wilmington, and one brought to Orange. The ladies mostly suffered from sea-sickness, but the males were not altogether exempt from the malady. Yours Truly gained eight pounds in eight days—don't hardly think the rest came up to that standard. Our kitchen, however, was large enough—the room measured 40x100 feet, while the dining room was small—only 30x75 feet. Our bill of fare was sardines, dried apples, light bread, fruit cake, prunes, apple sauce, butter, plum pie, cheese, canned peaches pickles, honey, biscuit, mince pie, cold pork, jelly, vinegar, brown bread, sugar, canned salmon, fresh fish of two kinds, pickled beets, goat and mutton. Did any land lubber have a better dinner? In the evening we had a grand hop, all hands. The island at one time was, from appearances, densely populated by miners; for almost every hill is perforated with tunnels,shafts etc. The United States has been swindled on this island, as well as at Wilmington, in the way of a $75,000 house. We never enjoyed fishing before. Our catching little silver-sides and minnows when a boy had not the excitement we experienced while hooking the baracountas,and catching thirteen in half an hour that measured from two to three feet association, with the nominal capital of $30,000; for the purpose of doing a general mercantile business at Lakeport. The largest and most valuable right whale ever caught at Pigeon Point was brought in by the whalers of that place on Thursday last. It is about 50 feet in length and will yield about 100 barrels of oil which, with bone, is estimated to be worth $2,500. The Eureka Sentinel states that there is a Chinese washerman in that town engaged to be married to a white girl at Sacramento. A smart Illinois girl who had been crucily jilted, rose up in her wrath and recovered $5,000 for breach of promise—and she had no sooner got this suit out of the way than she took some of the proceeds and went right to work on another—a handsome black silk made after the "Domestic Fashions." Mrs. Brown desires to call the attention of the ladies to her large stock of millinery and fancy goods. She has been adding to her stock every week,and is confident that she can please both old and young,rich and poor,for her prices will defy competition. She has also added ladies' ready-made underwear.of which,with corsets,she will make a speciality hereafter. A Widely Applicable Remedy. Few remedies are applicable to such a wide range of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,and this not because it has special properties adapted to the care of each—such a pretence would be manifestly absurd—but on account of its wonderfully improving effect upon the general tone of the system,and its alternative action upon the organs of nutrition,secretion and discharge.Besides its well known properties as a remedy for intermittent,and remittent fevers,dyspepsia,costipation,torpidity of the liver,general disability，urinary and uterine difficulties.it invariably proves to be highly serviceable in overcoming anemia,hypochondria,rheumatism Insomnia,and many other disorders and disabilities originating in poverty or impurity of the blood,nervous weakness,或 over-excitement or an imperfect performance of the physical functions.
