A new house for Antonio Romo is in process of erection on Heimann & George's vineyard. J. H. Weed, Deputy Gauger of the 1st District, was in town yesterday gauging grape brandy. The question on the streets for the past few days has been, "What is the fare to San Francisco?" The Southern California Conference of the M.E. Church is now in session at Los Angeles, Bishop W. L. Harris presiding. The Republican Club held their meeting at Blanken's Drug Store on Wednesday evening. Several new members joined the Club. Professor Carr, Superintendent of Public Instruction, has the thanks of the GAZETTE for a bound copy of the School Law of California. The Grangers will hold a meeting at their new hall near the depot on to-morrow, for the purpose of making arrangements for a dedication ball. Mr. M.

We had the pleasure yesterday of smoking a fine Havana cigar, made at the manufacture of Mr. N. Gray near the depot. It is the intention of Mr. Gray to establish a wholesale and retail cigar manufactory, and in due time he will be ready to furnish fine cigars of home manufacture at less than San Francisco prices. The San Fernando Company says the Express have finished harvesting their wheat crop. They will sack The Last Spread. We condense from the papers the following ceremonies connected with the last rail which ceilidm with San Francisco. On arriving at the plaza junction was to be effected by seniorists from Los Angeles was introduced to San Francisco, Hon. A. A. Supervisors of San Francisco members of the city of Los Angeles exchangedings with the San Francisco and at half past one o'clock was given for the work to begin. At once they in ten minutes, as if entire distance was covered cheers of the crowd as quite remarkable that they pied in laying this piece exactly the same as the passing through the was a rivalry among workmen as to which middle point first. This was ankle deep, flew in snews of the men were work. The Los Angeles goal first, and this by loud and prolonged few seconds the other was as the union was comed was rent with cheers. THE PRESENTED Of the silver manlain then ensued. As soon had removed a conveniencer Governor Downey intruded W. Thatcher, who in a remarks PRESENTED THE IN To Col. Crocker as Pro road.

Some humorous kleptomaniac stole the handle and sucker from a well pump yesterday. The family, whose water supply was so unceremoniously shut off, propose hereafter to take the hole indoors at night, as that may be the next object of the envious eyes of the ubiquitous thief. The St. Helena Star says: Mr. Bruce is experimenting with the grape syrup manufacture at Mr. Wemberger's, and promises to ultimately produce an article free from all the crudities of first attempts and readily marketable. He has succeeded in removing the acid and brought it to a consistency and clearness approaching the best brands of golden syrup. He informs us that he already has orders for considerable quantities and will doubtless find sale for all he can make. One man has ordered 50 gallons. Tally one more for the grape interest. The Anaheim Literary Society met at their Hall on Monday evening. The following officers were installed: V. Montgomery, President; H. Blanken, Vice-President; Fred Rimpan, Secretary; H. Cahen, Treasurer, and A. G. Beebe, Sergrant-at-Arms. Mr. S. B. Smith was elected to membership in the Society. The declarations of Messrs. Payne, Henderson and Atharen were delivered, and the debate of the evening, Resolved, That the granting of subsidies to corporations is conducive to public prosperity, was listened to, and decided upon by a committee consisting of Messrs. Hill, Angle and Guinn, who decided in favor of the affirmative. The Committee appointed to confer with the Orange Society reported that the question for debate would be, Resolved, That war has done more to advance the interests of civilization than peace, and that Messrs. Theco. Lynill, J. M. Guinn, W. II. Henderson and E.F. Cahill had been elected to support the affirmative in behalf of the Anaheim Society. A Standing Committee, consisting of Messrs. E. F. Cahill, James Viles and W. H. Henderson, were appointed to select subjects for the weekly debates. The subject selected for the meeting of next Monday even will soon establish a saddle and trimming establishment in connection with their carriage manufactory on Lemon street. We had the pleasure yesterday of smoking a fine Havana cigar, made at the manufactory of Mr. N. Gray near the depot. It is the intention of Mr. Gray to establish a wholesale and retail cigar manufactory, and in due time he will be ready to furnish fine cigars of home manufacture at less than San Francisco prices. The San Fernando Company, says the Express, have finished harvesting their wheat crop. They will sack thirty thousand centals, or fifteen hundred tons. Two vessels, now at San Pedro, have been chartered to take the entire wheat crop direct to Europe. The Aliso Mills Company offered to buy the entire crop of the company, at $1 50, but the offer was declined. Westminster Items. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] I correct a mistake of last week by saying that the cemetery plat is in the hands of T. C. Hull, at the Co-operative Store. Families intending to purchase a lot will do well to do so at once, in advance of necessity. A Methodist Church was organized in Westminster on last Saturday, and it starts off with about 30 members, several of whom are new members. They propose to build a church building immediately. The movement has the cordial good will of the Presbyterian church, which does not propose to be excelled in love, zeal or good works. It has been for some time evident that our Methodist brethren would feel more at home in a church of their own, and that they could not co-operate heartily with the other brethren inside of the Presbyterian organization. It has been left to their own judgment to decide when they should set up their banner. Now that the step is taken, we trust that no sectarian rivalry will mar the work of either church, and that they will find themselves helpers in the Lord. Geo. W. Sell has decided to purchase 40 acres in Westminster, on the south line, with the intention of starting a dairy. Alward Broz have received a new stock of dry goods, etc., which are quite an attraction to the ladies. Westminster flour is in the market. The wheat was raised on the mesa, south of us,and ground in Los Angeles. The growers find it more profitable to have their wheat ground and sold at fifty cents per hundred pounds less than San Francisco flour, than to send the wheat to San Francisco. The flour is said to be of excellent quality, but a little darker than the others If wheat is planted early in December it may prove a success even on the lighter lands. Westminster Grange is really a live institution. A new feature is an essay each meeting by one of the matrons, on home work and house-work. "How to keep house," is quite as important a subject for the farmer as presents THE INDEX To Col. Crocker as Prison road. The President recites in his usual happy sponding, saying that he remember the moment upon which he insured the donor to see the jewels should be used in the archives of He remarked that while plement glistened in a golden spike might be problematic of the wear perous career that was rence we to-day celebrate to both the State of metropolis, and the city Los Angeles.

Theo. Lynill, J. M. Gulnn, W. II. Henderson and E.F. Cahill had been elected to support the affirmative in behalf of the Anaheim Society. A Standing Committee, consisting of Messrs. E.F. Cahill, James Viles and W.H. Henderson, were appointed to select subjects for the weekly debates. The subject selected for the meeting of next Monday evening is, Resolved, That local option is a desirable measure. Messrs. F. M. Cahill, J. S. Bancroft, A.G. Beebe and T.S. Grimshaw will support the affirmative, Messrs. John Fischer, G.D. Plato, and D.Nagle will argue the negative side of the question, Messrs. Ed Schubert and A.P. Benton were selected for declamation. From Thursday's Daily. —It is said that the fare by railroad to San Francisco is $20 Too steep. —Rev. J.M. Allis leaves for San Francisco to-day. —Benj. Dreyfus arrived last evening from San Francisco. —The new time table of the S.P.R. will be found in our advertising columns to-day. —About two hundred tons of grain was shipped yesterday on the steamer Monterey from Newport Landing. —Among the fruits exhibited at the banquet at Los Angeles were some extremely large and fine oranges presented by Mr.A.Bittner, of this place. —On and after September 10th, all the trains on the Central Pacific Railroad will be run on San Francisco time, which is sixteen minutes slower than the time here. —We refer our readers to the professional card of Dr.Joslin, late of Illinois, who has located in Orange. He is a gentleman of vast experience in his profession. Westminster Grange is really a live institution. A new feature is an essay each meeting by one of the matrons, on home work and house-work. "How to keep house," is quite as important a subject for the farmer as "How to farm" is to the farmer's wife. Improvement in either direction is felt by each. The things in the household that correspond with the weeds and bad crops on the farm are the things we all want to learn how to avoid and conquer. So last Saturday a lady read the essay and the men then all talked on it. The world is certainly moving round. If the Grange continues to be so interesting and profitable, the attendance will soon be doubled, and many more matrons will want to come in. Your old correspondent, Con. Howe, has some of the finest apples and pears on his place I have seen in California, and his Muscat grapes are very large and sweet. All have been raised without any irrigation, and are all the better so. It cannot be said too often that too much water is an evil on our lands. The Grange will report on apples and pears before long. R.S. Deeds Filed. C.E French to Wm N Price—50 acres in Santa Ana Rancho, commencing at N.E corner of D.H Collins,$2,250.

GOV. STANFORD Was called upon. He thanked his fellow counsellor kindly greeting extending that in everything he letting well enough along in a small degree the event now being on union of San Francisco and Los Angeles of could add nothing to what he said. This event is sign sense than one. It in system of railroads should extend still farther throughout the length territory as large as one-We trust,aye we believe the end of the present C we shall strike the bank orado,aye,penetrate on the City of Mexico.T beginning of an open usher in a far greater d perity to the nation.The party then proceed geles,where they were terminated at the hall of Club.The hall was decorated.Among them. DISPLAY OF PROMPT Were the following:C and brandies,samples The Last Spike. We condense from the Los Angeles papers the following account of the ceremonies connected with the laying of the last rail which connected Anaheim with San Francisco: On arriving at the place where the junction was to be effected, the excursionists from Los Angeles and San Francisco commingled fraternally. The Mayor of Los Angeles was introduced to the Mayor of San Francisco, Hon. A. J. Bryant. The Supervisors of San Francisco and the members of the city government of Los Angeles exchanged friendly greetings with the San Francisco officials, and at half past one o'clock the order was given for the work of track laying to begin. At once the cars started, and in ten minutes, as if by magic, the entire distance was covered amid the cheers of the crowd assembled. It is quite remarkable that the time occupied in laying this piece of track was exactly the same as that required in passing through the tunnel. There was a rivalry among the gangs of workmen as to which should make the middle point first. The dust, which was ankle deep, flew in the air as the sinews of the men were applied to the work. The Los Angeles end reached the goal first, and this feat was greeted by loud and prolonged applause. In a few seconds the other end came up, and as the union was completed the air was rent with cheers. THE PRESENTATION Of the silver manl and golden spike then ensued. As soon as the crowd had removed a convenient distance, Governor Downey introduced Mr. L. W. Thatcher, who in a few appropriate remarks, PRESENTED THE IMPLEMENTS To Col. Crocker as President of the road. The President received the articles in his usual happy manner of responding, saying that he should ever remember the moment and the occasion upon which the incident occurred. He assured the donor that he should see the jewels should always be treasured in the archives of the Company. He remarked that while the silver implement glistened in his hand, the golden spike might be taken as emblematic of the wealth and prosperous career that was by the occurrence of olive oil from San Fernando, beer from Reiner's brewery, corn stalks eighteen feet long, raised without irrigation; hops, fruits and flowers of every description, honey, wool, broom corn, squashes, etc., etc. After a most superb banquet had been duly discussed, the followingtoasts were given and responded to: "The Southern Pacific Railroad and its projectors." Response by Col. Charles Crocker, President S. P. R. R. "In an age of engineering triumphs, the skill which has subjected Teachapi to the iron horse and pierced the San Fernando mountain, will rank with that which gave to the world a Snez Canal and a Mount Cenis Tunnel." Response by Colonel Gray, Engineer. "The inventive genius of the nineteenth century. It equalizes labor, animates capital and exalts the present above all past eras." No response. "San Francisco, the commercial wonder of the world." Response by A. J. Bryant, the Mayor. "California; young in years but mature in all that goes to make a prosperous State." Response by Cameron E. Thom. "Southern California; touched by the iron wand of commerce, she becomes instinct with progress." Response by Judge Y. Sepulveda. "Los Angeles; the history is written in her walls." Response by Mr. P. Beaudry, Mayor. "Railroads; space falls before them; agriculture, commerce and the arts rise progressive in their train." No response. "The Telegraph." Response by Col. J. F. Godfrey. "The Press." Response by Loring Pickering, of the San Francisco Call. After the banquet, dancing was indulged in until after midnight. Orange Items. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Mrs. Tate of San Francisco, mother-in-law of H. F. Gardner, has been spending a few weeks with her daughter and son-in-law. The anniversary of the second year's married life of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Webber occurred at the hotel on the evening of the first. Owing to circumstances we were unable to attend, but learn the occasion was one to be long makers, barber, and in fact all branches of industry. Our demand for such establishments is growing daily, and those that locate nearest have double advantages. Come one, come all, and as we state above, look for yourselves; locate your homes and as time passes by you will daily, monthly, and yearly rejoices that your lot was cast among pleasant places, and happy surroundings, where home can really be called home, and neighbors be looked on as brothers; where the valley will be fragrant with bloom of the orange, and the grape stowed away like corn; where the flowers bloom the year round, and the melons keep until Spring. Sept. 6, 1876. The Central Pacific Company furnishes the following information, which will be valuable to the traveling public: According to the proposed time-schedule, express trains will leave San Francisco daily via Oakland Ferry at 4 p.m.; will pass Lathrop at 8:15 p.m. and arrive at Los Angeles on the next day at 3:30 p.m. Sleeping cars will be run from Lathrop to Los Angeles. Emigrant and through freight trains will leave San Francisco daily at 3 p.m., will pass Lathrop at 11:15 p.m. and arrive at Los Angeles at 11:30 a.m.on the second day.Returning trains will leave Los Angeles daily at 12 m., express,and 8:30 p.M.,emigrantarriving in San Franciscoat12:35 a.m.and6:05 a.m.,respectively.Local trains will leave Los Angeles daily at 4 p.m.for Colton (San Bernardino, three miles distant); at 4:15 p.m.for Wilmington,and at 4:30 p.m.for Anaheim,making close connections with express trains for San Francisco. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays trains will leave Los Angeles at 4 o'clock P.M.for Indian Wells (end of track on Yuma Division), making close connection same night with the California and Arizona stage for Ehrenberg,Prescott,Tucson and other points in Arizona. A new station called Newhall is 32 miles north of Los Angeles,and here the stages of the Coast Line Stage Company will make direct connection from trains for San Buenaventura,distant 50 miles further。Stages of the same company make direct connection PRESENTED THE IMPLEMENTS To Col. Crocker as President of the road. The President received the articles in his usual happy manner of responding, saying that he should ever remember the moment and the occasion upon which the incident occurred. He assured the donor that he should see the jewels should always be treasured in the archives of the Company. He remarked that while the silver implement glistened in his hand, the golden spike might be taken as emblematic of the wealth and prosperous career that was by the occurrence we to-day celebrate vouchsafed to both the State of California, her metropolis, and the city and county of Los Angeles. The speaker then announced that the distance of ten hundred and fifty feet had been laid in ten minutes; the measure showing a greater length than was at first supposed. The rails that united the Pacific with the East are made of enduring steel, and are symbolic of the eternal community of interest of the two localities thus made one. The North and South of California are thus united forever. He hoped to see the day when Los Angeles, whose people have been so generous, so spontaneous in the ebbition of good feeling, would enjoy that degree of prosperity that her magnanimity and enterprise deserved. He then introduced Rev. Wm. Platt, of San Francisco, who offered a fervent prayer. THE SPIKE. Mr. Crocker then advanced and drove the golden spike, amid the cheers of the assemblage. He then introduced General Colton, the Vice-President of the Southern Pacific Road, who remarked that the people of Los Angeles and the representatives of San Francisco had met upon a common ground, yet in the Southern county coming from the two extremes to unite in a common congratulation and pronounce a common benediction. They meet to-day, said he, as friends and neighbors. He considered this as one of the grandest events of the career of the State and of the coast. It was more than pleasing to receive such a cordial welcome. The railroad company was straining every nerve to benefit the entire State, and during its period of existence had laid more miles of rail than at the outset the most sanguine could have anticipated. He remarked that at the going down of the day's sun, the company would have in complete operation, more than eight hundred miles of road in the heart of the State of California; not with perishable connections, but with the lasting ties of steel. Our lines now extend from Redding at the north to the sunny south, the pathway leading through obstacles of nature that could not be overcome but for the co-operation of the people of, the districts through which the roads pass. To-day the iron binds us together as a common people, and the telegraph flashes the news of the event over the continent. Mr. Crocker has been honored with the pleasing office of driving the last spike—and it is an honor that will not die with him. He has built more miles of railroad than any other man living. On another road he has Orange Items. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Mrs. Tate of San Francisco, mother-in-law of H. F. Gardner, has been spending a few weeks with her daughter and son-in-law. The anniversary of the second year's married life of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Webber occured at the hotel on the evening of the first. Owing to circumstances we were unable to attend, but learn the occasion was one to be long remembered by those present and we hope many similar occasions may be enjoyed by the happy couple. Either the post office facilities are decidedly slow, or else negligence predominated somewhere, for our items were mailed sufficiently early in the week to have appeared in last week's Gazette. [Your letter took two days to reach our office.]—Eds. Gazette. Rev. W. L. Oge has returned from his trip to Santa Barbara. Steve McPherson Esq., smiled on our streets last Saturday. He looks hale and hearty. The almond-eyed Celestials receive credit for various fruit thefts that we presume belong rightfully to full grown whites in this vicinity. Mr. Hardin and M. F. Parker was in the hills last week looking for a bee ranch, when two deer attempted assault. They gracefully handled two Winchester rifles, and the deer came to Orange cuddled safely away in the rear of the wagon box. G. P. Cuddeback of Tehatchepi was in town this week looking after his interests here. We are informed that the Joaquin Ranch Co. are preparing to dam the Santiago Creek, with the intention of using the water on their ranch. There are many objections to this arrangement, and it will evidently lead to long and continued litigation. The many inconveniences, etc., will be mentioned hereafter. Dr. Beach, Mr. Webber: R. McGibbon and C. H. Parker took a stroll to the hills Monday, and back Tuesday, bringing in one deer. The dry jokes of Lew Shrewsbury are decidedly beneficial in a medical point of view, for which we are in a measure indebted to the gentleman. J. W. Anderson rusticated in the village of Los Angeles on Tuesday last. He evidently got lost—from his nonappearance on Wednesday. Several persons are looking for unimproved property hereabouts, this week. Mr. Hamilton and family leave for Illinois to-day. We wish them a pleasant trip and speedy return. Mr. H. Neill lost $12 in greenbacks Monday, and found it Tuesday evening on the road to Anaheim. Dr. Joslin flung his professional shingle to the breeze on Tuesday, and Dr Medlock will do the same this week. Both being able physicians, we will express trains for San Francisco. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays trains will leave Los Angeles al 4 o'clock P.M. for Indian Wells (end of track on Yuma Division), making close connection same night with the California and Arizona stage for Ehrenberg, Prescott, Tucson and other points in Arizona. A new station called Newhall is 32 miles north of Los Angeles, and here the stages of the Coast Line Stage Company will make direct connection from trains for San Buenaventura, distant 50 miles further. Stages of the same company make direct connection at Anaheim for San Diego, distant 110 miles. At Mohave stages depart for Lone Pine, Cerro Gordo and Independence. It is a noteworthy fact that trade is depressed in all the countries of Europe, except France, and there the revenues are steadily increasing. The Oakland News candidly admits that Sister Gordon, of the Democrat, is now doing "much better than was expected from her first issue." Post Office Letter List.

To-day the iron binds us together as a common people, and the telegraph flashes the news of the event over the continent. Mr. Crocker has been honored with the pleasing office of driving the last spike—and it is an honor that will not die with him. He has built more miles of railroad than any other man living. On another road he has laid more than ten miles per day. Before the close of the year he hopes to be at Fort Yuma with his roads. He has officially crowned these ceremonies, and has effectively performed the task. The speaker closed amid prolonged applause. Ex-Governor Dowbey was then called upon. He dwelt upon the advantages of mutual import to be derived from the union of the two cities. After a few remarks by Mayor Bryant of San Francisco, GOV. STANFORD Was called upon. He responded by thankling his fellow citizens for the kindly greeting extended, and remarking that in everything he believed in letting well enough alone. Realizing in a small degree the importance of the event now being celebrated—the union of San Francisco and the world and Los Angeles of the South, he could add nothing to what had been said. This event is significant in more senses than one. It indicates that our system of railroads shall eventually extend still farther, and penetrate throughout the length and breadth of territory as large as one-half of Europe. We trust, aye we believe, that before the end of the present Centennial year we shall strike the banks of the Colorado, aye, penetrate on the South to the City of Mexico. This is but the beginning of an opening that will usher in a far greater degree of prosperity to the nation.
