Many of the troupe had just received their wages, and we learn from Mr. Stagg that times were quite lively. John Bowers, station-keeper at Mountain Springs, San Diego county, was murdered last week. A man named Greshley has been arrested on suspicion of having committed the dead. Col. J. J. Ayers, of the Los Angeles Express called upon us yesterday. He has let go the crank of his "opinion mill" for a few day's rest. We hope his stay among us will be a long and pleasant one. The Literary Society was completely deserted on Monday evening. The eloquence of our amateur debaters had no power to draw the crowd from the seductions of the Japanese tumblers and the painted clown of the ten allied shows. Louis Messmer of Los Angeles bought a $1000 pump during his recent visit to the Centennial. It is said that it will throw a stream six inches thick to a height of over one hundred feet. It will be used by the United States Hotel. The Democratic Club held a meeting last night. A telegram was read from W. H. Smith, Secretary of the Democratic Central Committee, announcing that the primaries were postponed. The meeting then adjourned until Saturday next. The Democratic County Central Committee have postponed the Supervisorial election in the second and fourth districts until further notice. The committee will meet on Wednesday, October 4th, to take action in the premises at which all parties interested are invited to attend. Our local reporter had a big day yesterday. It is not often he is the recipient of valuable presents. He was astonished in the morning at receiving a handsome silk pocket-handkerchief from a prominent merchant with the paternal admonition to "keep his nose clean and be a good boy." And in the afternoon he was invited to make a selection from the handsome stock of jewelry just received by that wide awake variety dealer, Mr. A. G. Boebe. So if anyone meets a consequential gentleman, dressed with a large pair of sleeve-buttons and blowing a company of cavalry passed through town yesterday on their way to San Diego. party of young men are contemplating the establishment of a Club Room in Anaheim. The famous Bitter Witch man was in town last night, and had quite a gathering to hear his free concert. Gen. Sherman arrived in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. No public reception was tendered him as he declined a similar proposed demonstration in San Francisco. Large amounts of fall wool have been coming in from the sheep ranchos adjacent during the last few days. Yesterday a fine lot arrived at the depot from the ranch of Mr. J. E. Bacon. General Albert Pike, who arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, is a venerable and even saintly looking old gentleman, and is the highest Mason in the United States. General Pike achieved considerable reputation as a Confederate General during the war, and was at one time editor of the Memphis Appeal. He is at present practicing law in Washington city, having moved from his old homes in Memphis and Arkansas. We have received a communication, too lengthy for publication, in reply to some statements made last week by our Orange correspondent in reference to Mr. N. O. Stafford as "the candidate of a powerful corporation," etc. The communication proceeds to defend Mr. Stafford from the imputation. It says: "There should be some further and better cause for attacking a man's character than that he is meantloud for Supervisor. This ought particularly to be true of Mr. Stafford who, for more than twenty-five years residence, has lived a life of temperance and strict integrity; has opposed—not railroads—but subsidizing railroads; has always opposed monopolies in land and in franchises as morally and politically wrong; and is one whom neither the conventionalities of society or a long continued and intricate business relation has warped from the frank, charitable, manliness in the one case, or given rise to a suspicion in the other." Cremation at San Gabriel. From a correspondent of the Gazette at San Gabriel, we learn that on last Wednesday a sick Mexican put in an appearance at that place. He was first seen by some carpenter building on the Alambra tract. He It is not often he is the recipient of valuable presents. He was astonished in the morning at receiving a handsome silk pocket-handkerchief from a prominent merchant with the paternal admonition to "keep his nose clean and be a good boy." And in the afternoon he was invited to make a selection from the handsome stock of jewelry just received by that wide-awake variety dealer, Mr. A. G. Beebe. So if anyone meets a consequential gentleman, dressed with a large pair of sleeve buttons and blowing a rather lengthy proboscis with a red silk handkerchief, he may be assured that it is the reporter of the Gazette. From Thursday's Daily: —General Sherman will arrive in Los Angeles to-day about noon. —All the stores owned by Israelites were closed last night at sundown. They will remain closed all day. —A Methodist Church is about to be built at Indiana Colony. The Episcopalian Church ordain their first minister on Sunday next. —Atonement Day services were held last evening and will be held this morning by the Israelites at the Magonic Hall. —The rain fell quite heavily in the mountains on Tuesday, and the Santa Ana river was swollen considerably yesterday. —The meeting of the Southern California Agricultural Park Society will be held this morning at 10:30 at Santa Ana. All interested are requested to attend. —B. D. Wilson & Co. have shipped a cardboard of wine and brandy to Baltimore. In the shipment there were 6 pipes and 2 barrels, viz: sherry, part, Mount Vineyard, Chambertina, white wine and brandy—all from two to five years of age. So writes a San Gabriel correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald. Cramation at San Gabriel. From a correspondent of the Gazette at San Gabriel, we learn that on last Wednesday a sick Mexican put in an appearance at that place. He was first seen by some carpenters building on the Alhambra tract. He begged for water, which was given him, and he was ordered to move on. He then visited some houses in the Mission, and the people, alarmed at the signs of small-pox which were apparent on him, ordered him away. He finally passed the day under an oak tree near the residence of Geo. C. Gibbs, lying face downward, and refusing to show his face or hands. Mr. Gibbs reported the case in the Mission, and tried to get some one to visit him who could talk Spanish. It was evening before anyone went to the spot and it was then discovered that he had gone. No more thought was given the subject until the next day, when he was found dead in the cactus hedge below the residence of Gen. Howard. He had probably crawled there and died during the night. The community were so afraid of small-pox that some men went to the spot piled wood over the corpse of the unfortunate man, set it on fire and cremated him. Our informant adds that it will be impossible to make their cemetery a success in that section if they persist in treating corpse in that way. There was a little gathering the other evening, and a lady, with the desire to chasten the conversation asked a young man if he had never felt a deep and subtle thrill, a fullness of feeling, so to speak, that reminded him of another life. He said he had now. It was when he was in the country and the declarer called it choice moment, and charged him $24 a visit.

McComb have leased Layman's hotel property for one year. R. J. Wolf and H. Blanken gave Santa Ana a pleasant call on the 24th instant. Hon. J. J. Maxwell delivered an eloquent speech before the Republican Club on Sunday night, which was by far the ablest effort of any speaker we have yet heard. The meeting was a large one, and notable on account of the absence of Orange and Anaheim Republicans. Mr. Limington is erecting a building, for business purposes, on the corner of West and 4th street. Dr. Cummins is making extensive improvements on 4th street. The new large artesian well recently bored on Mr. Berry's place, on the mesa, possesses some properties not hitherto observed in artesian wells. This water shows by analysis the presence of chloride of sodium, magnesium, bicarbonate of soda, and chloride of iron. The proportional amount of each substance has not as yet been ascertained. Santa Ana, Sept. 25. In order to decide a bet made by two prominent Democrats of this city, we will state that the official returns of the last general election in this State shows that San Joaquin township cast twenty-one votes more than Ahaheim township. Mr. G. L. Morgan's new real estate sign reflects great credit upon the artists. "The Devil is to pay, and no pitch hot," over here on the Supervisor question; the candidates are rushing around frantically, and their friends are accusing the different candidates of all the crimes in the calendar. The $ mark in reference to Messrs. Cobler and Morgan in our last but one, should have been an S. We make this correction in order to escape a threatened caning. We are afraid that the candidacy of Mr. Stafford will draw enough votes... Mr. G. Morgan's new real estate sign reflects great credit upon the artists. "The Devil is to pay, and no pitch hot," over here on the Supervisor question; the candidates are rushing around frantically, and their friends are accusing the different candidates of all the crimes in the calendar. The $ mark in reference to Messrs. Cobler and Morgan in our last but one, should have been an S. We make this correction in order to escape a threatened caning. We are afraid that the candidacy of Mr. Stafford will draw enough votes from the strength of Mr. Moesser to elect Mr. Lockhart at the coming primary, which we hope will not occur as we always begin to despair of the Republic whenever our man can't win. We were shown a fine specimen of placer gold the other day, taken from the San Gabriel mines, now owned by Mr. Roberts. Our informant stated that the gold readily brought $18 per ounce. The intemperate and false accusations made by the zealous friends of the various candidates meet with no sympathy from the respectable portion of the community, and can only harm those whom it was intended to benefit. It is rumored that the negotiations for the lease of the Santa Ana Hotel have been broken from some cause or other. Mr. Limmington's warehouse and grain depot are rapidly nearing completion. There's a happy family in the Baptist church now, although mixed with parsons, deacons, port wine, doctors, tooth forceps, oysters, sardines and brandy. Mr. C. C. Edinger is making extensive building and fencing improvements on his farm south of town. Developments of the last few days points clearly to the fact that J. H. Moesser is the strongest Republican nominee on this side of the river. In order to make the thing appear more united, it would be well for the other candidates to withdraw, as there is no chance for them to obtain the nomination, and as they are all pledged (Moesser, Lockhart and Stafford) to support the nominee, let him come from whatever section he may. It is useless to prolong a hopeless contest. Moesser does not take a particle of strength from Stafford and he draws largely upon Lockhart, this fact alone insures his nomination. Mr. Stafford is ready to exclaim "God save me from my friends." Bion. Sept. 28, 1870. Orange items. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. The pie-nile of the Literary Society up the cafion on Saturday last, was not largely attended but we learn it was enjoyable. Mr. George made his appearance on the streets on Monday last. He left here instanter claiming business to be the incentive. The Orange Base Ball Club returned streetwise, in street. H. Gardner and family, with others (I failed to learn names) returned from Laguna cafion after a pleasant sojourn camping, last Monday. Our education in orthography was sadly neglected when a boy, by having to climb up bill to the school house, and we have not yet reached the standard of perfection, but rest content that "doctor" would not stick us if we depended on making or painting signs for a living, as our brush-slingers of Santa Ana are compelled to do. Buy a Webster's Unabridged or a Josh Billings' Almanax—anything, rather than discomode a professional gentleman two or three weeks. Sept. 27, 1876. X Y Z. Westminster items. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette] A stalk of corn stands in front of the Co-operative Store 16 feet high, and the first ear is eleven feet high. I once heard a man boast in a general company that he had seen a corn field where a tall man, standing on a tall horse, could not reach the top of the corn. The statement was received with so much incredulity that he had to explain at once that if the man stood on the ground and bent over, he could reach the top with ease. If that man had actually seen one of our corn fields, and had stuck to the story as the literal truth, his reputation would have been lost. Westminster grapes receive the compliment from Anaheim fruit stands as best in the country. We do not repeat it in a boasting spirit, for our neighbors grapes are perhaps equally good. But two of our young men, McCoy and Taylor, have bought Mr. Danskin's crop, and are selling it rapidly; and if anyone wants first-class Muscat grapes they can find them there. Your correspondent will be absent for the next week and may perhaps send you a letter from abroad. In his absence, if all is not quiet in Westminster, you will probably hear of it. R. S. Letter from A New District. Ocean View, Sept. 26. Eds. Gazette.—Perhaps the first question will be, "Where is Ocean View?" Ocean View is in Fountain Valley township, which is south of Westminster and Bolsa Grande. Fountain Valley township is divided into two school districts; one receives its name from the township, the other is Ocean View, and is in the western part of the township on the mesa land immediately south of Westminster. In the district are 83 census children. The school house is 20x40, and was built entirely by subscription. The title to the land in this district is still in litigation, the settlers claiming that it is government land, while the land company claim that it belongs to them as part of the Bolsa grant. As nearly as your correspondent can ascertain, the main question seems to be, Where did the Santa Ana river run in 1833-34? For this bed would be the eastern boundary of the Bolsa grant, and if there should be any land between the streetwise, in street. Mr. Lucas, of Santa Barbara, in a very interesting letter to the Santa Barbara Press says: "I wish I could fully explain how utterly prostrate all kinds of business is at the cast. I think it would reconcile grumblers at home to the times as well as the climate. Without a shadow of a doubt California is better off than any State in the east. Here the gaunt skeleton of poverty and want is omnipresent, and beggars of every description appeal to you constantly from every "colon of vantage." What will be their condition when cold winter comes on? There is no prospect of any better state of business so soon as that time, so that the accumulations of the rich are the reservoirs from The plea of the Literary Society up the canon on Saturday last, was not largely attended but we learn it was enjoyable. Mr. George made his appearance on the streets on Monday last. He left here instanter claiming business to be the incentive. The Orange Base Ball Club returned from Riverside, having been beaten 25 tallies. The boys speak glowingly of the treatment received from some of the citizens, but the members of the Club displayed very poor manners in the style of reception. Colton and San Bernardino figured conspicuously in the match and the boys here are inclined to think those two towns waxed them instead of the Riverside Club. We met Wm. Hall on the street today. He is fresh from Los Angeles and consequently appears rather country-fied in a city of this size. He states J. C. Travis is doing nicely and raising a huge crop of beard to surprise his Dulecina when he returns to this place. We have been presented with a very fine specimen of apple known as the Wagner variety. It was one of 38 grown on a three-year-old tree on the ranch of T. J. Lockhart, and has not been irrigated this season. The Republicans meet to elect a nominee for Supervisor, on Saturday 30th inst. It behooves all friends of Hayes and Wheeler to be on hand and exercise the right of franchise. Polls at Orange Hotel. Mr. Acklin of the Santa Ana Valley News and Mr. J. J. Ayers of the Los Angeles Express were in town on Wednesday taking items and enjoying the many advantages of city hospitality. Dr. Vrooman was in town on Tuesday. He states he has located in the village of Santa Ana at Cunningham's drug store. Daniel Cumminus and Mr. Walker were both up from Santa Ana Monday, Who's next to view our beautiful location? Mr. Allen, Mr. Wood and Mr. Webb with two families have arrived from Arkansas with the intention of locating Ocean View, and is in the western part of the township on the mesa land immediately south of Westminster. In the district are 83 census children. The school house is 20x40, and was built entirely by subscription. The title to the land in this district is still in litigation, the settlers claiming that it is government land, while the land company claim that it belongs to them as part of the Bolsa grant. As nearly as your correspondent can ascertain, the main question seems to be, Where did the Santa Ana river run in 1833-34? For this bed would be the eastern boundary of the Bolsa grant, and if there should be any land between the Bolsa and Santa Ana it would be claimed as Government land. Even if the settlers fall in this matter of the boundary, they still intend to contest the title on other points. But it does not appear that by any arrangement or condition there is any question as to the title to the land in Westminster colony, or any portion of it, although some statements to that effect have been made. The settlers seem to be law-abiding citizens, and honestly believe the land company were awindled when they purchased the grant, and do not attribute any dishonest motives to the members of the company. It will be very satisfactory to all when this vexed question is settled. Good crops of corn, beans, harley, and wheat were raised on the mesa land this year, and a great improvement is expected next season. Santa Monica Items. The Santa Monica Outlook has the following: Business has steadily increased on the L.A. & I.R.R., and it is now paying considerably over expenses. We saw several parties in Santa Monica this week looking around with a view of purchasing real estate. Several thousand trees have been planted in the park and along the streets and avenues. They are mostly eucalyptus and pepper, and are all growing thrifty. The U.S. Coast Survey steamer Hassler, Captain H. C. Taylor is command, is now anchored off Santa Monica wharf. The Hassler will remain here about two months and make a thorough survey of Santa Monica Bay. Captain Chase has broken up his camp near the Vicente Springs, and Barbara Press says: "I wish I could fully explain how utterly prostrate all kinds of business is at the east. I think it would reconcile grumblers at home to the times as well as the climate. Without a shadow of a doubt California is better off than any State in the east. Here the gaunt skeleton of poverty and want is omnipresent, and beggars of every description appeal to you constantly from every coign of vantage." What will be their condition when cold winter comes on? There is no prospect of any better state of business so soon as that time, so that the accumulations of the rich are the reservoirs from which the poor must be supplied this winter. God help them poor when rich measure out the supplies. God help the rich when the poor are driven by hunger to help themselves." How Prize-Fights are Reported. To show that some readers are interested in the results of the ring, there were sixty representatives of the Press among the excursionists. The way newspaper men report a prize fight is very suggestive. They draw circles with two dots for the eyes, lines for the mouth and nose, and below it, rude sketches for the neck and body, and each of these are supposed to represent the fighters. As the blows are given a number is marked on the feature receiving the punishment, as for instance, if the first blow is received on the right eye, that feature is marked 1; if the third blow on the mouth, the mouth is marked 3, etc. These suggestive pictures are changed at each round, the action of the fight being supposed to be to exciting for the reporter to detail it as it progresses.

One of the Judians who have been giving exhibitions of their peculiar native dances at Woodward's Gardens, lately, was overheard remarking to one of his companions, "Arrah Pat, its lookles of me that wud give a day's wages far about three hours av Mary Ann! Thin I could dance wid more heart to this civil's own musick." The Orange by First. We have formerly urged the advantages of protection against frost and reduced practical success with the employment of smoke clouds. We read that in some of our mountain counties and in Nevada the first has already nipped garden crops. In this connection we print the following important facts in reference to the surface temperature of the earth, and the effect of shelter, which Dr. Barham communicates to the Royal Institute of Cornwall, England. He says that the very considerable difference between the lowest temperature, as indicated by the self-registering thermometer placed within a thermometer, and that shown by a similar instrument exposed on the grass and radiating freely into space, is an illustration of the influence of shelter. The common estimate of the greatest cold of night is derived from the record of the thermometer screened from radiation. This is what passes current as the minimum temperature, and that not only among the public, but also generally with those who pay a good deal of attention to meteorology. Yet when the sky is clear, the temperature of the grass, and that to which vegetables, men and animals out of doors are exposed, will be from five to ten degrees lower, and sometimes more; and it is just these additional degrees of cold that when an ordinarily sheltered thermometer indicates a pretty sharp frost, destroy tender plants and often more or less seriously affect the health of the delicate, the old, and the very young. According to the records of Captain Liddell the radiating thermometer was, during 1872 and 1873, on twenty-five occasions, from 10 to 13 degrees colder than the sheltered thermometer. Most of these cases occurred during April, July and August. It is found that garden loam has the power of receiving and retaining heat superior to that of any other naked soil. The temperature of peat is nearly equal to that of garden loam, although it is wet and cold to the sense of touch. A covering defends the naked soil from these extreme effects of radiation, no matter whether the covering be a natural one of grass, or an artificial one, such as screens of muslin, straw matting, clouds of smoke, or mist. The beneficial effect of a covering of muslin... Outside of the city, we need have becoming prevailed here the cases are have proof they are so only removed or infection cannot plan work well want?

Most of these cases occurred during April, July and August. It is found that garden loam has the power of receiving and retaining heat superior to that of any other naked soil. The temperature of peat is nearly equal to that of garden loam, although it is wet and cold to the sense of touch. A covering defends the naked soil from these extreme effects of radiation, no matter whether the covering be a natural one of grass, or an artificial one, such as screens of mussin, straw matting, clouds of smoke, or mist. The beneficial effect of a covering of muslin is not quite equal to that of straw matting, but the amount of protective influence of so slight a material is worthy of notice, amounting on the average to nearly one and one-half degrees, and in some cases three degrees. It is said, as a general result, that in the climate of Cornwall the soil covered with vegetation will be from eight to ten degrees warmer in sharp frosts if screened from the sky by straw matting or other moderately thick materials spread over three or four feet from the ground.—Pacific Rural Press. A paper is published in Chicago, entitled the Legal News, entirely devoted to law matters. The News thinks the Grand Jury system can just as well be abolished as not, and its duties remitted to examining courts, where there is presumptively as much wisdom and admittedly more legal acumen, than can be found in a body of men who have but little, if any, knowledge of the statutes in existence for the punishment of crime. The argument of the News in favor of its belief is entirely sound. It says: Under the Grand Jury system, how many men who were entirely innocent of the crime with which they have been charged, because they were unable to get ball, have remained in jail months, and sometimes years, awaiting trial, who, if they could have met their accusers face to face on a preliminary examination, would have been able to have removed all suspicion, and shown that the charges were made through malice and without foundation.

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. Boston has the most intellectual girls, New York the most stylish, Brooklyn the prettiest, Baltimore the most refined, Chicago the smartest and St. Louis the most frolicsome. Unlike as they are in characteristics, the "Domestic Paper Fashions" are the universal preference of them all.
