Otto Evers will open his new saloon, which he has christened the "Independent Depot Saloon," on Friday next. He will in a short time, probably, open a restaurant at his house. The present cloudy weather has had a bad effect on the apiary business. Instead of leaving the hives and skirmishing for their food, as they ought to do, the bees stay at home and consume the stock on hand. The benefits of competition are truly great. We learn that before the Arizona and New Mexico Stage Line was in existence, it cost $85 for stage fare from Los Angeles to Prescott, but now the fare has been reduced by opposition to $29. The steamship firm of Goodall, Nelson & Perkins has been dissolved. Mr. Christopher Nelson drawing out, and Edwin Goodall taking his place. The firm now consists of Charles Goodall, George C. Perkins and Edwin Goodall, and the style will hereafter be Goodall, Peakins & Co. The second number of the Tidal Ware has reached us. We have here-tofore taken occasion to compliment the editor, Judge Wiseman, on the brilliant scintillations which emanate from his pen. No one can doubt, after reading his writings, that he spends his days with Addison and his nights with Steele. It is expected that the business of securing the right-of-way for the Cajon ditch will be finished in a few days; and the legal proceedings necessary to condemn the land will also occupy but a short time. It is probable that the advertisements, calling for bids to construct the ditch, will be published about the latter part of the present month. The San Bernardino Times has it that Messrs. Perry, Woodworth & Co., of Los Angeles, have entered into a contract with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, by the terms of which they are to construct a $10,000 hotel at Colton. Also, that the water from the Meeks's ranch is to be taken to the above town site in eight-inch pipes, which have already been purchased. Arrangement can be entered into by proposes to bring his troupe to Anaheim every Friday night. The second attempt to get off the barkentine Ella was so far successful as that the vessel was moved a distance of thirty feet, when she again stuck. A dispatch was sent for one of Goodall, Nelson & Co.'s steamers to complete the task. [Since writing the above, we learn that the attempt to get the bark off by aid of the steamer proved a failure. The future operations have not as yet been decided upon.] From Friday's Daily. The Los Angeles Old Fellows will parade in full regalia on July 4th. Jack Wolf assumes control of the Anaheim Hotel on Monday—sure pop. Fred Hartung has received an order from Washington Territory for one thousand gallons of port wine. Charles J. Shephard and Miss Francesca Wolfskill, of Los Angeles, were married in San Francisco a few days ago. The Captain of the barkentine Ella was in town yesterday. We learn that he will attempt to float the wreck off on casks. Mrs. Alexander Henry is recovering from the effect of the strychnine which she took by mistake some time ago. Mr. J. A. Woodhouse has been notified that his application for a patent on his artesian well borer has been granted, and the patent will be issued as soon as some forms are complied with. Information is wanted of Joseph Jones, who left Lawrenceville, Ill., in the Spring of 1852. When last heard from he was in Marysville, Cal. Address his own half brother, A. G. Ryan, Los Angeles, Cal. Exchanges please copy. Grasshoppers have made their appearance in large numbers at Pomona, and have already made sad havoc among grape vines, current trees, raspberry and orange trees. The pests come from the north and appear to be going towards the south. It is reported that the first depot of the Southern Pacific road beyond the tunnel, has been located on the Santa Clara river at the mouth of Soledad Caillon and about five miles beyond Andrew Station. This will accommodate the outlying country and may ultimately be the junction with the line running from San Buena- The San Bernardino Times has it that Messrs. Perry, Woodworth & Co., of Los Angeles, have entered into a contract with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, by the terms of which they are to construct a $10,000 hotel at Colton. Also, that the water from the Meeks's ranch is to be taken to the above town site in eight-inch pipes, which have already been purchased. Before the United States Land Office yesterday, the applications of Howe and Michael Brophy to ascertain the mineral or non-mineral character of land, were examined. The testimony in the case of Mr. Howe was submitted, and the case of Mr. Brophy was continued till the 16th for further testimony. From Thursday's Daily. Chico Forster's big band of horses has arrived safely at Salt Lake. Gospel Swamp is a famous place for blackberries. The crop this year is said to be unusually large. Contractor McKinnie informs us that he will probably make a beginning on the Episcopal Church to-day. Dr. Hardin has put up an Aldrich windmill. This mill seems to be growing into public favor. Assessor Austin is the agent. Salt was commenced in Justice Clark's court yesterday by N. H. Mitchell va. Dr. J. P. Ellis, of San Fernando, to recover the sum of $103. Mrs. Dr. Higgins is in San Francisco, attending a course of lectures in the medical department of the University College. D. K. Williams, who has the contract in build the warehouse of Miles Bros, will commence operations to-day or to marrow. The batch of invalids who went to the Hot Springs the other day, are enjoying themselves most thoroughly. They intermixed to Anaheim yesterday morning for Schoenberg's Bible. I am delighted to have been invited to the Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, June 5th. The Board met pursuant to adjournment. Present: supervisors Hins, Gray, Allen and Hannon. President Hinds in the chair. Albert Gibbs, D.T. Hall, and T.J. Ellis were appointed viewers in the petition for a road in San Gabriel District. The report of the City Physician was received and referred to the Finance Committee. Petition for school district in Fountain Valley was referred to Superintendent Baxon. Petition for Catholic school district granted. Petition for a road at Santa Ana referred to T.J. Ellis, Henry Kroger and W.N. Sandford, as viewers. Resignation of W.H. Tichenal as Road Overseeer of San Joaquin road district accepted. Adjourned. Tuesday, June 6. Present—Same members as yesterday. The matter of the Los Angeles and Washington road was postponed until July 6. The petition for a bridge across New River, at Washington's crossing, granted. In the matter of the petition for building a bridge across the San Gabriel at the Ten Mile House, the Board granted the prayer, but fixed no time for building it. Petition for a road from Compton to the Domingues ranchs was presented and viewers appointed as follows: T.J. Ellis, Amos Kelly and John Gaines. T.J. Ellis was directed to locate a road across Wright's place near Compton, according to the field notes. This is an old public road which was being enriched on. A petition to establish a new school district, to be known as Lugo district, Washington News [Regular correspondence of the Gazette.] As the public may think that "Lux" has been annihilated by the statement from the other side," we crave your indulgence for the last time upon this vexatious question, as we have no desire to keep up this worldly combat; but we cannot allow this last communication to go unnoticed since the whole article is a perfect mass of equivocation from the beginning to the end. No doubt that all will concede that our exemplary Trustees have made a most masterly defence. The readers of the Gazette will observe that the tenor of their last card is considerably milder than that of the first which they published; they then proclaimed the charges "utterly false;" now they are considerate enough to admit that the lowest bid was rejected, but make the pleas that they were not aware "that any such firm existed," or "that McGlaughlin & Caldwell or either of them separately had ever taken a business contract." What cogent reasons for rejecting a bid! It is perfectly immaterial who the bidders were, notwithstanding much stress is laid upon that point by the board. We cheerfully correct our error that Mr. Cook was a bidder. The mistake was made by the fact that he was here the day that the bids were opened. We reiterate our statement that the lowest bid should have been accepted, and then if the parties could not furnish bonds, it would be proper to reject their bid. Mr. Cullen having certified in last week's Gazette to the correctness of our statements in regard to the manner in which the painting job was put up, we have nothing more to say. The threat that they will expose the so-called irregularities of their predecessors is almost too puerile to notice. Do they expect to exonerate themselves by accusing others of corruption? Try the election test, gentlemen, and see if your neighbors will endorse your official acts by re-electing you. We have done our part, and will leave it in the hands of the colonists, to bring in a verdict at at the school election on the 24th, Inst. "Lux" thinks of offering himself as a Santa Ana News [Regular correspondence of the Gazette.] Judge Evey informs us since the adjournment of the Board of Supervisors, that there were M7 names attached to a petition in favor of Mr.C.E.Moore, of the Santa Ana road district, for the position of Road Overseer, and for the removal of the then incumbent, Mr.W.H.Tichenal, 227 names were attached to a remonstrance protesting against the appointment of Mr.Moore and the removal of Mr.Tichenal. The Board unanimously rejected the petition of Mr.Moore, which shows that they are possessed of a modicum of common sense and that they are cognizant of the wishes of the people in this matter. Judge Evey informs us that Mr.T."then resigned the office, although he could have retained it for all time, so far as the influence against him was concerned." It is very strange and unaccountable that, after a man has been rejected by both the people and the Board of Supervisors for this position, he should be pressed for the position again. It is very bad taste, and shows that "there's something rotten in Denmark." Let up and vote for A.Milla. E.F. Stafford (brother of N.O. Stafford) from Illinois, has settled here and has bought land adjoining the ranch of Mr.Halliday, the wind-mill man. Some thirty-five mills are in operation within a radius of two miles of Santa Ana—the Halliday and the Stover being the favorites—the former predominating. We will say nothing more about school matters until after the Trustees attempt a defence of their peculiar method of handling the special funds and of keeping books. John H. Turner, an old citizen of Tehama County, who resided at Paskenta, committed suicide on last Sunday by cutting his throat with a razor. He had gone out on the porch of his residence, and when discovered by a member of the family, had accomplished his purpose, but was still walking to and fro apparently unconcerned. He died within a half hour afterward. In the matter of the petition for building a bridge across the San Gabriel at the Ten Mile House, the Board granted the prayer, but fixed no time for building it. Petition for a road from Compton to the Livingues ranchs was presented and viewers appointed as follows: E. J. Ellis, Amos Ealy and John Gaines. T. J. Ellis was directed to locate a road across Wright's place, near Compton, according to the field notes. This is an old public road which was being enroached on. A petition to establish a new school district, to be known as Lugo district, was rejected. A petition to establish a new school district, to be known as Olive district, north of Orange, was granted. Reports of County Treasurer and Physician were reported back by the Finance Committee as correct. The following is the report of the County Physician: Office of the County Physician, Los Angeles County, June 1st, 1876. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors, Los Angeles County: GENTLEMEN: I herewith submit my monthly report for May, 1876. Number of patients admitted during May, 26; number discharged, 30; number died, 3; remaining in the hospital June 1st, 38; number of out-patients treated during May, 12. All of those who died were incurable viz: Chas. Neisler, paralysis and dysentery; I. O. Beauchamp, rupture of the ameurism of aorta; Joan Bieman, organic disease of the heart and hemorrhage of the lungs. Respectfully, H. S. Orme, M. D. County Physician. The Green Meadows School District was re-established with the former boundaries of the same district. WEDNESDAY, June 7. All present except Supervisor Young. The application for the position of County Auditor was taken up, and on vote, A. E. Sepulveda was elected. The plans and specifications for the bridge at Washburn's Crossing, presented by A. A. Polhemus, were adopted, and the Clerk instructed to advertise for bids. John Howe was appointed Constable for Soledad township, and E. H. Johnson for Fountain Valley township. A resolution was adopted that the Board has no authority in law to appropriate money for the celebration of the Fourth. Adjourned till the first Monday in July. Deeds filed. County Judge to Maria Ygnacio Gutierrez—Lot 5, block 2, San Juan Capistrano, $17 58. County Judge to Bernard Velardes—Lot 10 in block 2, San Juan Capistrano, $32 61.

James McCarthy to John S Shaw In last week's Gazette to the correctness of our statements in regard to the manner in which the painting job was put up, we have nothing more to say. The threat that they will expose the so-called irregularities of their predecessors is almost too puerile to notice. Do they expect to exonerate themselves by accusing others of corruption? Try the election test, gentlemen, and see if your neighbors will endorse your official acts by re-electing you. We have done our part, and will leave it in the hands of the colonists, to bring in a verdict at at the school election on the 24th instl. "Lux" thinks of offering himself as a candidate. The colony is settling up rapidly. The following persons are late arrivals: Mr. H. S. McKim and wife, from Missouri; Mr. Silkwood and family, from Illinois; Mrs. O. S. Griffith, from Canada; Messrs. John and Robert Simpson, from Ohio, and Thomas Goldeworthy and family from Vallejo. Mrs. J. D. Chaffee has just returned from Elgin, Illinois, after an absence of three months. There is a fine opening here for a tin-smith. Westminster needs a daily mail and a postal money order office. Our artesian well borers are doing a vigorous business. While Henry Wayman was sinking a well for Mr. W. T. Clay, a ten-inch flow nearly washed away the derrick; but as that was more water than he wanted, the well was finished with a two and one-half-inch flow. Dr. P. Howe, has located at Santa Ana instead of at Orange. Lux. Crops in Westminster. Eds. Gazette:—Westminster includes all the country south of Anaheim and Fairview school districts, and from Santa Ana river west to the Los Alamitos Rancho, and embraces four school districts, namely Westminster, Garden Grove, Bolsa Grande and Fountain Valley. Of course it will be quite difficult to estimate the amount of grain in such an extent of country, but to come to some reasonable conclusion, I have tried to ascertain the amount of grain to be headed by the different machines, and the number of acres cut for grain by the various mowing machines. Below is the result obtained from inquiries: Barley. T Edwards & Co.—400 acres S. J. Finney & Co.—500 Seara Kidniss—500 McPherson & Co.—400 D Griswold—450 Parker & Co.—350 Mowall for grain—200 Total—2,800 acres As the harvest is but just begun, the estimates as to the yield per acre is various, but the highest average is 25 centals, and the lowest is centals per acre. At the lowest estimate, the yield will be 42,000 cents and at the highest 70,000 cents, but I do not think the product will exceed 80,000 cents. As to potatoes, it is almost impossible to obtain any data on which to base an estimate. Many farmers have John H. Turner, an old citizen of Tehama County, who resided at Paskenta, committed suicide on last Sunday by cutting his throat with a razor. He had gone out on the porch of his residence, and when discovered by a member of the family, had accomplished his purpose, but was still walking to and fro apparently unconcerned. He died within a half hour afterward. Letter List.

New Patents.—Through Dewey & Co., Patent Agents, San Francisco, we receive the following advance list of U.S. Patents granted to Pacific Coast inventors: viz; John M Creal, Los Angeles, Cal, well borers; William H Lininger, Salem, Ogn, shackles; Henry C Perkins, North Bloomfield, hydraulic nozzles; William Quilian and Alexander Peers, Mayfield, Cal, trace fasteners; Robert M Widney, Los Angeles, Cal, transplanters; Emmanuel Blockman, San Francisco, Cal, sleeping cars; Jacob Hoffman, Portland, Ogn, adjustable bolsters for beds; James Mayers, Garvala, Ogn, auger handles; James Ward, Winnemucca, Nev, windmills. "Mither," said Jenny Graham when preparing her lesson for the sabbath school. "I canna not nothing but two proofs illustrative of the fifth commandment, as I was the get three." "A weel, leak the proverbs and you'll get one," said the dolling mother. "I canna mind the chapter and verse, but it says: 'Though father and mother and a should go mad, whisle an' Pll coom to ye, my lad.'" "Ow's another," asked the Prince of Wales after he had knotted his wife and babies all round. "The Hampead is well," replied Abraham. "Heeperson be angled." replied the Prince. "She ought to have handed around Himma as Hi love, and then she might talk about him." Hempada, and he gave this hand in commendation too. Total...2,800 acres As the harvest is but just begun, the estimates as to the yield per acre is various, but the highest average is 25 centals, and the lowest 15 centals per acre. At the lowest estimate, the yield will be 42,000 centals and at the highest 70,000 centals, but I do not think the product will exceed 50,000 centals. As to potatoes, it is almost impossible to obtain any data on which to base an estimate. Many farmers have a few acres; some have large fields—all have some; but in conversation with several citizens who have paid some attention to the matter, the yield of the crops now growing can be placed at 10,000 centals. As to hay although the crop is about harvested, with the exception of the second crop of alfalfa, it is utterly impossible to state the number of tons which will be offered for sale, but I think that 700 tons will not be far from the mark. I will take some points at the close of the season to ascertain from the various threshing machines how many sacks they have threshed during the season, and we will then see how near the foregoing estimates are to the true yield. As to corn and the second crop of potatoes, it is too early to judge as the crops are not all planted. Some farmers are plowing under their barley stubble and planting corn or irrigating the ground for the purpose of planting potatoes in July. Our fruit crop will be very good considering the age of the vines and trees. There will be many cows of Muscat grapee, and if an Alden is not erected in Anahaim, we will have to erect a cheaper drier ourselves. Yours truly, SON HOWE. An absent-minded Ohio woman got the coffee-pot ready for baking, and then carefully placed it on a chair and set herself on the store. Although the occasion was dreddily suggestive of some of the early smarts she managed to derive some conclusion out of it from the well impaired opportunity it afforded her husband to buy her new dress which as soon as she was well enough she made up herself with the midstms of the "Domestic" Punishers and a new "Domestic" mending machine. Mr. Sidney Lanler, not content with having inflicted his dreadful cantata upon an enduring public has now rushed to its defense and in the New York Tribune prints two mortal columns of what he kindly intends as an explanation of the affair. This explanation is if possible even more fearfully and wonderfully made than the cantata itself; but when Mr. Lanler informs us upon what principles he constructed the latter we are no longer surprised that it should have had such an overwhelming effect upon the country. It seems that the poet cannually sought to combine the muse and the verse so that the one should help out and interpret the other. And this is the field way in which he makes the whole subject clear to the meant comprehension: For example, the first statue of "ten limes was to be interpreted by saber firm, firm, and measured progressions of chords representing a colossal figure in meditation. The next (Mayflower) adam contrasted this with an agilate movement, rising gradually to a climax with the aborted Bafrin; No, it shall not be! The next (Janes-town) movement contrived this with a cold and glacially tumultuous sheather hauling dead tissue with long wounds in order to bring out a certain amount of tear from the human veins on the skin; yet and like the last and making much of them hard pitted and heavy with blood and intestinal tracts type the trials of the early colonists as they rose before the meditative eye of Columbia out of the weltering sun of the Past. The next (Tyranny) stanza contrasted this with a renewed, but different fury of agitated movement presenting to the musical composer a lot of ideas—religious and political oppressions, war, error, terror, rage, crime, a windy night, visions of land and sea, and finally a climacteric about the Refrain, "No I there shall not be," all of which were easily reproducible in tone by the resources of the modern orchestra." Probably that specimen will be considered sufficient by our readers, and since we all know just how the cantata came to what it was, we put it to Mr. Lanler candidly whether he does not think he erred in making some of the stanzas more gaunt and bony than the occasion demanded. We cheerfully admit that when stanzas are unwieldily fat they cease to be attractive, and in choirs and places where they sing, perhaps the stanza ought to be sufficiently light and agile to accommodate itself to the music. Nevertheless we prefer a stanza possessing a certain youthful plumpness and roundness of contour, to those angular and bony structures which Mr. Lahler affects, and if he should be invited to prepare a cantata for the next Centennial, we trust he will profit by these suggestions. We feel it a duty, however, to point out the admirable way in which he has contrived to depict a "colossal figure in meditation." It will be observed that he did it "by sober, firm and measured progressions of thought." Now, everyone knows what the effect of that combination is upon his own ear. Whenever we encounter a sober, firm and measured progression of chords we immediately say to ourselves, "Dear me! That is evidently a colossal figure in meditation." This shows what a great musical genius Mr. Lanler is, because if he had selected anything else—if, for example, his progression of chords had been tight and wobbling, instead of sober and firm—no one would ever have recognized the colossal figure in meditation under such a disguise. And to think that this sublime cantata, with all its gaunt and bony stanzas, and its cold and ghostly tone-colors, has been A Wildly Applicable Remedy. Few remedies are applicable to such a wide range of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach Bitterns, and this not because it has special properties adapted to the cure of each—such a presence 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, constipation, torpidity of the liver, general debility, 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, or over-excitement or an imperfect performance of the physical functions. 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.
