In the case of the people vs. Leonard, before Justice Bailey for disturbing the peace on Saturday night, prisoner was discharged on payment of costs. On Thursday last Mr. Crittenden, of Wilmington, had one of his arms broken, and was otherwise seriously bruised, by the breaking of a winch on the lighter on which he was at work. The Downey Courier says that work will be commenced on the bridge over New River in about two weeks. The Anaheim Grist Mill is kept busy all the time. The proprietors publish a notice in our advertising columns this morning which gives some interesting information. Mr. Stubb, Auditor of the Central Pacific Railroad, is in Los Angeles for the purpose of fixing the rate of fares and freights on the Southern Pacific. There was quite a number of citizens at the meeting on Saturday night and a protective organization was The railroad track is now laid beyond the northern end of the San Fernando tunnel, and the work is being pushed on vigorously. It is authoritatively stated that the last rail will be spiked on the 1st of September. The evenings of the average Anaheim are pretty well occupied. On Monday he attends the meeting of the Literary Society, and by way of variation he goes to Orion Encampment, two Mondays in each month; on Tuesday he fraternizes with his brethren of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, L. O. O. F.; on Wednesday he plays seven-up in the bosom of his family, or attends the Hayes and Wheeler Club; on Thursday he drops in to see how Orpheus Lodge of Odd Fellows (German) is getting on; on Friday he abjures the seductive cocktail and the thirst-quenching lager, and visits Anaheim lodge of Good Templars; on Saturday afternoon he attends the Grange,and in the evening he rides the festive goat at the Masonic meeting, or eulogizes Tilden and Hendricks at Enterprise Hall; on Sunday he goes to church or to bed. The Literary Society held their regular meeting on Monday night. The question, "Resolved," That the unanimity required from juries is conducive to the attainment of the ends of justice," was discussed and decided in the affirmative. The subject to be discussed next Monday is: "Resolved," That free trade is more beneficial to the welfare of the country than a protective tariff." The affirmative will be sustained by Messrs. F. M. Cahill, Bancroft, Henderson, and McFadden, and the negative by Messrs. J. M. Guinn, Haskell, Fischer, and Athearn. Miss Yda Addis, and Messrs. Lynill and Cord were appointed to declaim at the next meeting. On Tuesday no templated to gain an audience of Richard Angeles street.

There was quite a number of citizens at the meeting on Saturday night and a protective organization was formed. It is deemed best not to publish the proceedings of the meeting. Mr. Leonard Parker caught a Chinaman, Ah Ca by name, refreshing himself in his vineyard. Ah Ca plead idle curiosity and a desire to study viniculture. Judge Bailey will sentence him to-day. Arthur Heimann announces himself as a candidate for the office of Supervisor — of a free lunch which he proposes to give on Saturday night. This spread will be something grand—something worthy of this great Centennial year and the Planters' Hotel. The Los Angeles Star has pronounced for Hayes and Wheeler. The editor says: "After surveying the national field of politics with great care and candor, we have come frankly and deliberately to the conclusion that the best interests of our country will be subserved by the election of Hayes and Wheeler. As an independent journalist, and as an independent Democrat, we arrive, or have been driven, to this conclusion by the acts of the present Congress, the Hamburg massacre, and the attempt of the party to make Samuel J. Tilden, one of the most notorious rogues and sham reformers of the age, President." The Star will also support Pacheco for Congressman. From Wednesday's Daily. Alexander Torges, Jr., of the Cincinnati Frio Presse, is again in Los Angeles. Rev. Mr. Mitchell will leave Anaheim next week to assume the pastorate of the Presbyterian church at Pasadena. The absence of the local editor, who has gone to the country for a few days, will explain the scarcity of those brilliant intellectual scintillations which are wont to be found in this column every morning. There are forty-four pupils in the Anaheim grammar department, thirty-eight in the intermediate department and fifty-two in the primary department, making a total of one hundred and thirty-four pupils. That free trade is more beneficial to the welfare of the country than a protective tariff." The affirmative will be sustained by Messrs. F. M. Cahill, Bancroft, Henderson, and McFadden, and the negative by Messrs. J. M. Guinn, Haskell, Fischer, and Athearn. Miss Yda Addis, and Messrs. Lynn and Cord were appointed to declaim at the next meeting. The Free Reading Room Committee reported, and it was decided to rent the room adjoining the office of Cahill & Lynn. H. McLellan, agent of Goodall, Nelson & Co.'s Steamship Company, has addressed the following note to the Mayor of Los Angeles: "Referring to the suggested appointment of a Health Officer, whose duty it should be to inspect all passengers arriving in this city by steamer or by railroad from San Francisco, I beg to say for your information and probable gratification that this company is using every exertion to prevent the transportation of small-pox by our steamers. No unvaccinated person is allowed to be employed on any of our vessels, and a physician is engaged to be present and inspect each crew at the time of shipment, and as far as practicable to inspect all passengers as they embark upon our steamers. In short, no precautionary measure is now neglected. From Thursday's Daily. O my! but yesterday was a warm day at Indian Wells. At 12 M., 108° and at 7:50 P.M., 102°. Ex-Governor Pacheco, the Republican candidate for Congress from this district, will visit this section in October. Goodall, Nelson & Perkins have purchased the steamer Idaho. She will be placed on this route as a stock boat. The Odd Fellows of San Diego have been granted a charter to organize "Centennial" Encampment, and the officers were installed last night. The Directors of the Los Angeles Library have chartered the first train that is to be run over the Southern Pacific road as soon as the connection is made between Mohave and San Francisco. They propose to have a pic-nic in the woods beyond Soledad, and by this means raise enough to pay a debt of $300 owed by the Library.

There are forty-four pupils in the Anaheim grammar department, thirty-eight in the intermediate department and fifty-two in the primary department, making a total of one hundred and thirty-four pupils. In the proceedings of the District Court, on Monday, we find the following: Caillon de Santa Ana Water Company v. Cajon Water Districts No. 1 and 2—By consent the name of John Thompson, defendant, struck out as party defendant. The San Francisco News Letter says: The Los Angeles "——" is unusually full of interest this week. One single issue of the paper contains eleven distinct notices of a small theatrical troupe, while the editorials are devoted to the resignation of a constable, all of which are written in a thoughtful, masterly manner. We have received the July number of the Musical Review, published monthly by Sherman & Hyde, San Francisco. The number before us contains twelve pages of sheet music, including the new and popular "First Kiss" Waltz, also an interesting letter referring to music at the Centennial Exposition, and correspondence from New Orleans, Germany, as well as local articles and miscellany. The Express says that J.K. Parker and B.W. Diefendorfer have backed their political opinions by entering into an agreement that he whose choice for the Presidency falls shall carry a sack of flour from this city to El Monte and return. Parker names Tilden, and Diefendorfer, Hayes. The sack will be subsequently put up at auction, and the proceeds handed over to the Orphan Asylum. On Tuesday night some scam attempt to gain an entrance to the residence of Richard Heimann, on Los Angeles street. He made his appearance at the window of a room occupied by a lady member of the family, who, fortunately, was awake and by her outcries frightened him off. He retreated to the street where he was joined by a couple of companions. On the same night an attempt was made to break into Mrs. Keller's house, but here again the outcry made prevented the consummation of the deed. We think the scoundrels have got about to the end of their tether. The Protective Organization will assuredly gather them in ere many nights have passed. "Reform is necessary." From Friday's Daily. M. G. Settle has been invited to become a candidate for Supervisor of the Second District. Contractor McKinnle is endeavoring to complete the Episcopal church so that it can be used on the Sabbath after next. A Democratic Club was organized in the Los Bolsas school house last night. A Democratic Club will also be organized at San Gabriel on next Saturday. H. S. Austin has sold two more of the celebrated Aldrich wind-mills, for which he is agent. The purchasers were J. B. Tombe, of Anaheim, and D. C. Hayward, of Orange. Mr. Stubbs, freight agent of the Central Pacific, has interviewed the vineyardists of Los Angeles for the purpose of gathering information to enable him to report an equitable table of freight rates on wines. Mr. J. R. Opitz, the patentee of the underground process of curing tobacco, is having printed at the Walks and Talks in the Alpary. DEAR GAZETTE: The bee-season is about over now, and we have more leisure. Bee-men have been very much disappointed this season. The honey yield is probably not more than one-half as much as was expected at the beginning of the season, owing to the shortness of the honey season, caused by an absence of fog early in the season. All flowers came out early and nearly at the same time. However, we have no reason to complain, as we have done probably much better than our brother farmers and horticulturists of the valley. From our little apiary we take over 20,000 pounds of honey, and an increase of 200 swarms of bees. We realize about eight cents, net, for our honey, and a hive of bees are valued at $0; so our proceeds are—for honey $1,600; bees $1,200; total, $2,800. Our expenses have been (besides our improvements on ranch)—one hired man, six months, $120; 200 new hives, 75 cents each, $150; total, $270, leaving us a profit of over $2,000. Now this does very well, doesn't it? We have now over 400 hives, and would like to sell from 100 to 200 of them. If you send me a purchaser I will find a ranch for him, and some one to take care of the bees, if he wants to invest, and have them handled on shares. Our neighbors have done nearly as well as we—some of them better, others worse. There is quite an interest awakening in this line, and many beemen, just starting in the business, are laboring hard to make a success. There is one thing much needed, and that is an association or society of bee-keepers at Anaheim or Santa Ana, or some central point in the southern end of the county, whereby we may meet with each other, relate to each other. The Temple Bankruptcy Case. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15. The bankruptcy case of P. P. F. Temple, of the firm of Temple & Workman, of Los Angeles, bankan, is before the United States District Court to-day on motion to enjoin the assignee, Spence and Freeman, from transferring property. Six counsel are participating in the argument, which is taking a wide scope. Affidavits of representatives of claimants against the bankrupt estate, residing in Los Angeles, was read, which stated that the assignees had on hand over 600,000 property; while their bonds only amounted to $100,000, and one is a bankrupt and the other not worth more than $10,000; that they have collected on account of the estate some $50,000, and have disbursed to agents and lawyers $9,000. Judge Hoffman said the questions involved were important and somewhat novel. The question was, is this assignment good, and will it stand in bankruptcy? The assignment was made under the State law for a distribution among the creditors. It was a question if it would stand after bankruptcy proceedings had been commenced. The partnership was unquestionably dissolved by the death of one of the partners, but doubtless the surviving partner could be put in bankruptcy. He suggested that counsel take time and prepare briefs on the subject, but the attorneys from Los Angeles thought the delay too expensive for them and insisted upon an immediate oral argument. It was stated that the assets of the firm were sufficient to meet all the firm’s liabilities. Elevated Chin-Music. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. A lively war of words is reported to have taken place to-night at Willard's Hotel, between Congressman Piper and C. P. Huntington, Vice-President of the Central Pacific Railroad. The conversation was begun in good temper, but ended in the choicest expressions of anger. Piper wanted to know who "the thieving monopolists" proposed to run against him. Huntington didn't know what was meant by this blackguard remark. Piper said he meant Huntington's associates. for which he is agent. The purchasers were J. B. Tombes, of Anaheim, and D. C. Hayward, of Orange. Mr. Stubbs, freight agent of the Central Pacific, has interviewed the vineyardists of Los Angeles for the purpose of gathering information to enable him to report an equitable table of freight rates on wines. Mr. J. R. Opitz, the patentee of the underground process of curing tobacco, is having printed at the GAZETTE Job Office a pamphlet giving minute directions as to the manner of raising and curing tobacco as practiced by him. The Board of Managers of the Southern District Agricultural Society met on Wednesday afternoon, made up a very fine programme for the Fall racing. There will be five days' festivities, commencing on Monday, Nov. 13. The two first and the two last days will be given to racing, for which $2,800 will be appropriated. The third day there will be no racing, but there will be a tournament for a prize of $100 and a steeple chase for a $100 plate. Programmes will be issued soon. We learn that some of our citizens are contemplating fighting the school tax recently voted by Anaheim District We trust this is not so. A community that opposes steps to provide additional school facilities is indeed blind to its own interests. There is no one thing that good emigrants inquire about so eagerly, when contemplating locating in a new country, as the question of school facilities. The truth of the remark that, given a community with good educational facilities, you have a prosperous well-conducted people, is beyond doubt. The voyage to Santa Catalina has heretofore been considered in the light of a pleasant little trip, but the Express hears of a Los Angeles family who made the trip and didn't think it very pleasant. The vessel was becalmed in the channel for two days and a night, and it was not until the night of the second day that a breeze sprang up and brought her to her destination. The passengers suffered terribly, and the lady who had her children with her came near losing her eldest girl from delirium. The swell in the channel has been very great for several days, and this made the voyage still more severe, while the provision was short and the water inadequate. Take it altogether, it is doubtful whether ever the voyage was made from the island to the main land under more distressing conditions. Our neighbors have done nearly as well as we—some of them better, others worse. There is quite an interest awakening in this line, and many bee-men, just starting in the business, are laboring hard to make a success. There is one thing much needed, and that is an association or society of bee-keepers at Anaheim or Santa Ana, or some central point in the southern end of the county, whereby we may meet with each other, relate to each other our experience, discuss points not well understood, and thereby improve ourselves in our pet business. The Grange would be a good place for this, but our farmer brothers would soon get tired hearing us talk bees, so I think we should organize a society of our own. When the new school house is built in Trebuca Caifon, that will probably be a good place to meet. My wife is experimenting a good deal in putting up fruit in honey, and it answers in many respects as well as the best sugar, for canning grapes, peaches, or in fact any kind of fruit, as well as for marmelade, peach butter, etc. There is more sweet in one pound of honey than in one pound of sugar, and honey is much cheaper; hence I think there should be much more of it used for fruit preserving. Of course no honey will do for this except the very best, as the second rate honey has a strong taste. There is one thing I want to speak to the people about who go camping in the mountains. It is the subject of fire. Many campers are careless about their camp-fires and sometimes let it spread; and hunters use paper wads which occasionally ignite the dry grass &c., thereby setting fire to the country, destroying our sage, almost entirely, for several years. As there is much dry grass and combustibles generally, this year over the mountains, a fire would spread rapidly if once started, and would almost ruin us bee-keepers. Fire destroys all the old sage brush, and it takes several years for it to recuperate again. It also destroys the Sumac—another great honey producer. I hope, therefore, all will be very careful to avoid setting fire in any way. J. W. SALLER Deeds Filed.

A lively war of words is reported to have taken place to-night at Willard's Hotel, between Congressman Piper and C. P. Huntington, Vice-President of the Central Pacific Railroad. The conversation was begun in good temper, but ended in the choice expressions of anger. Piper wanted to know who "the thieving monopolists" proposed to run against him. Huntington didn't know what was meant by this blackguard remark. Piper said he meant Huntington's associates. Huntington retorted that Piper's associates were so low down that his friends had to fish for them. Piper said the monopolists could only beat him by stuffing ballot-boxes. Huntington said that if his friends resorted to such means they would have to seek their instruments among Piper's companions. After continuing in this strain of vocabulary, Piper withdrew with the remark that he would not be seen in Huntington's company, to which the latter replied he felt perfectly serene as he had nothing about him which Piper could steal. Human Nature. It is the same here as in Cairo or New Jersey. The other day when a Tarheel, with sunken eyes and high cheek bones sat down on the steps of a grocery beside several others, he sighed heavily, and asked: "Gentleman, if any of you found a five on the sidewalk, would you hunt for the owner?" "I would," came from each individual with promptness and dispatch. "Haven't any of you lost a five, have you?" anxiously inquired the man. "I have," answered one, and the echo went along the line. "Describe her, gentlemen." One said his had a figure five on it. Another said his had a picture of De Soto discovering the Mississippi river. A third said the words "U. S." were plain to be seen on the bill that fell out of his vespock. "Gentlemen, this five don't tally," mournfully remarked the Tarheel. "None of you have hit the description within a mile and a sand bar." "Let's see it," asked two or three at once. "It's a five, and I found it on the walk," he whispered, holding out his hand. The five was a nickle. Some of the crowd leaned back and held their hands on their outraged hearts, while others rose up carefully brushed their coat-tails, and said it was time to go home. Only one of the victims seemed to appreciate the situation. He chuckled and gurgled and gasped, and asked the stranger what he would take. "Whiskey straight," was the prompt answer of the Tarheel. "So would I, if I ever drank," said the citizen, and lounged down town to get a bet on the weather. The lofty reaching of the average feminine mind is sometimes startlingly exemplified. Yesterday an accident occurred at the residence of a gentleman... Post Office Letter List.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in reducing the force in his office, is seeking to obtain the voluntary resignation of those clerks who are willing to resign. He says to all who will resign after the 20th of this month that they shall be paid to the 11th of October, the time when the general discharge of clerks is to be made. Several clerks resigned to-day, and it is thought that there will be at least a hundred resignations. A good many young men in the Department desire to leave and seek business more promising and permanent and prospective promotions, and this advance payment will enable them to go away with a small margin to cover temporary expenses. The same course was pursued last year with some advantages to both the clerks and officers of the Department. There will be about five hundred redctions in the Treasury Department.

"So would I, if I ever drank," said the citizen, and lounged down town to get a bet on the weather. The lofty reaching of the average feminine mind is sometimes startlingly exemplified. Yesterday an accident occurred at the residence of a gentleman on Elizabeth east, which not only aptly illustrates the fearful and wonderful architecture of the average feminine mind aforesaid, but gives new significance to the idea crystallized in the phrase, "Ruling passion strong in death." The gentleman had discovered an exquisite poetic gem, and in his delight at the discovery invited the attention of two ladies to it. They listened while the reader gave voice to the glowing and graceful delights of the poet. When the reading was finished the gentleman turned to his companions for a word or look of appreciation. He saw their faces aglow, their lips parted in an intensity of feeling, and their eyes bright with—what? Shade of Homer! "Look, look here!" exclaimed one of the ladies with the utmost eagerness; "that woman," poluting to a lady on the opposite side of the street, "has got on a polonaise buttoned up in the back! I should think," addressing her companion, "she'd have a good time getting into it when she wanted to dress in a hurry." "I should think so, too," returned the other, "but it hangs pretty—don't you think so?" The gentleman gave one startled look in which amazement struggled with horror for an instant, picked up his hat and cane, and started off pel-mell to have a look at the polonaise that buttoned up the back. Boston Herald: It isn't Chinese cheap labor which troubles the New York 'lon gahoremen who struck the other day. It is unskilled labor from Jersey they object to. They don't want these foreigners coming in and taking hold of their work. Which political party will be the first to declare in favor of protecting them from this competition? Letter from Col. Scott on Railroad Matters. The San Diego Union says: A letter was received yesterday by Messrs. W. A. Begole and others from Colonel Thomas A. Scott, President of the Texas and Pacific Railway, in answer to a communication from them. The letter is dated August 4th, four days prior to the meeting of stockholders at Philadelphia. Col. Scott says: "It is of course, unnecessary for me to say that this company has not, in any manner, changed its views as to the necessity for the prompt construction of the San Diego end of the Texas and Pacific Railway; nor is it unmindful of the deep interest manifested by your people in its success, nor of the liberal aid extended to it by your city." He goes on to explain the circumstances under which the company has been working during the past year and says: "We have been compelled, by the restrictions placed upon us by the Legislature of Texas, to devote every dollar that could be raised to the completion of the line east of Port Worth. The work had to be done before the adjournment of the Legislature now in session, and liable to separate at any day." The main line, as we know, has been completed to Fort Worth, and the Texarkana division is nearly if not quite finished by this time, as track-laying was going on at the rate of two miles per day at our advices. Col. Scott continues: "It was all the more important that these links should be completed, because their construction would add largely to the revenues of the Company, and thus, we hope, place it in a condition to resume work upon the Pacific slope." With reference to the resumption of the operations at San Diego he says further that the subject "will be brought before the Board of Directors within a very few weeks, on the return of its members to the city." It would seem, from Mr. Horton's recent telegram that a decision has since been reached in this important matter. Col. Scott closes by saying: "There is, I know, every disposition on the part of the Directors to do all in the power of the Company to advance the interests of San Diego, and if in any way the amount of money named in your communication can be spared for the work therein suggested, I know."
