We are told the music, supper and all the etceteras, will be of a superb character. —We had a call last evening from Mr. Al. Pettygrove, one of the proprietors of the Santa Barbara Press,and Mr. Stone, foreman of the same paper. They are travelling about the country in their own conveyance, and look as if "roughing it" rather agreed with them. —the Rt. Rev. Wm. Ingraham Kip, Bishop of California, will visit St. Michael's Church, Anaheim, on the second Sunday in November. Services next Sunday as usual, at 11 o'clock. The subject of the sermon will be "Salvation in the Church alone." The ladies of the congregation are making preparations for a Fair, to be held about the first of December. —On reaching the office last evening, an attache informed us that "a couple of fellers from Santa Barbara" had called during our absence, and described them as looking like a couple of "busted tramps." Subsequent revelations showed the gentlemen thus graphically described to have been the Messrs. Pettygrove and Stone, whose visit we note in another item.[Santa Joseph L. Williams, of Los Angeles, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the U.S. District Court, his assets being about $17,000, including a $5,000 life insurance, and his liabilities about $13,000. A man named Vann died at Santa Ana yesterday. He will be buried this morning at 10 o'clock by the Masonic fraternity of Santa Ana; he having been a member of the order. Mr. Thomas Fitch did not have the pleasure of seeing an Anaheim delegation among the audience assembled to hear his speech in Los Angeles last night. Not enough could be got together to warrant the running of a special train. J. W. Potts, of Los Angeles, has made a sale of 7,000 orange trees to Major Toler, of Orange, at 45 cents each, to be paid when Hayes and Wheeler are elected. It is needless to say that Major Toler goes his pile on Tilden and Hendricks; and it is equally unnecessary to say that he believes he has a "soft thing." The San Fernando correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald says; Mr. F. M. Borle, from Ohio, latterly from Mojave, has succeeded Maclay & Moffit as agents of the S. P. R. R. and A. P. Telegraph Company. Senator Maclay has been quite ill, but is recovering rapidly...That the tunnel is completed, no one will doubt who was at all familiar with the slir, bustle and business there a few months ago. Now the place wears a deserted look, quite like an old, "played-out" mining camp. We are indebted to Mr. T. S. Grimshaw for the following report: The Anaheim Literary Society held their regular meeting on Monday evening, E. F. Cahill in the chair. After the Messrs. Blanken and Grimshaw had delivered declarations, the question, "Resolved That the pulpit affords a better field for the display of eloquence than the bar," was discussed and decided in the affirmative. The question for debate at the next meeting is, Resolved That conscience is always a correct moral guide. The affirmative will be sustained by S. B. Smith and the negative by M. A.Mendelson. The fame of our climatic attractions has penetrated even to the domains of the Carar. The San Francisco Alta of the 15th instant thus admonishes us that we are to receive distinguished visitors: "Count and Countess Bozenadie of the congregation are making preparations for a Fair, to be held about the first of December. On reaching the office last evening, an attache informed us that "a couple of fellers from Saintha Barbara" had called during our absence, and described them as looking like a couple of "busted tramps." Subsequent revelations showed the gentlemen thus graphically described to have been the Messrs. Petttygrove and Stone, whose visit we note in another item. [Santa Barbara Press please copy.] Mr. E. C. Parish met with a severe accident yesterday. He was leading a span of horses to water when they took fright and ran away, dragging him some distance on the ground, as he was entangled in the ropes. It was at first feared that he had been killed, but it subsequently transpired that his injuries were confined to some bad bruises about the head.—Express. The hunting season opens well. That might nimrod, Oscar George, accompanied by Frank Mielenz, brought home eighty-one ducks, and several snipe, curlew and geese as the result of a few hours' hunt on Tuesday evening. This we call remarkably good shooting, considering the earliness of the season and the consequent scarcity of game. The ducks were very fat and toothsome, a fact which we can attest through the kindness of Mr. George. The case wherein Auguste Blane charged F. L. Holbrook and T. M. Somes with a malicious attempt to poison sheep on a much towards Wilmington, by inserting arsenic in melon rinds, came up before Justice Gray this morning. It was clearly shown by the evidence that the poison was placed out to kill squirrels, and that plaintiff was notified of such intention before it was done. The case was dismissed.—Express. A circular before us conveys the information that Mr. H. R. Hanna has been appointed agent for the sale of the "Centennial Flat-Iron Heater." Just how the United States got along without this convenience during the past hundred years, we can't imagine. It is a very economical and convenient invention for heating flat-irons, and its low price—two dollars—will insure it a ready sale. Leave your orders with Mr. Hanna, at Cahen & Willard's store. The local editor of the Gazette being off on a prolonged jamboree we, a few days ago, engaged a talented ladies of the congregation are making preparations for a Fair, to be held about the first of December. On reaching the office last evening, an attache informed us that "a couple of fellers from Saintha Barbara" had called during our absence, and described them as looking like a couple of "busted tramps." Subsequent revelations showed the gentlemen thus graphically described to have been the Messrs. Petttygrove and Stone, whose visit we note in another item. [Santa Barbara Press please copy.] The fame of our climatic attractions has penetrated even to the domains of the Czar. The San Francisco Alta of the 15th instant thus admonishes us that we are to receive distinguished visitors: "Count and Countess Bozena, of Warsaw, Poland; are stopping at the Occidental Hotel, on their way to Anahiem, where the Count intends to take up his residence for a short time to recruit the health of his wife, who has lately retired from the stage of Europe. She has a world-wide reputation as one of the greatest representatives of the drama. Efforts have been made by her friends, who have had opportunities of admiring her wonderful dramatic powers in Europe, to induce her to appear here in one or two characters, but she has so far declined to comply with the request." Mr. W. H. Norway, Deputy United States Surveyor, who has been making surveys for the Government in the vicinity of Newhall, has got through for the present, and proceeded to San Francisco to-day to file his field notes with the United States Surveyor General for California. He has laid out Township No. 4, range 15 and 16 west, into sections. The pay allowed by Congress for this work is so small that he could not have done it had there not been a few settlers in the township who were interested in securing private work. He found but very little land in that region attractive for farming purposes. Here and there in the enclosure is a strip large enough to make a comfortable homestead. These are all pre-emptied. Several good locations for bee ranches are taken up, and there are a number of other chances of this kind; but generally the country in the vicinity of his late explorations is ragged, barren and uninviting. "Centennial Flat-Iron Heater." Just how the United States got along without this convenience during the past hundred years, we can't imagine. It is a very economical and convenient invention for heating flat-irons, and its low price—two dollars—will insure it a ready sale. Leave your orders with Mr. Hanna, at Cahen & Willard's store. The local editor of the Gazette being off on a prolonged jamboree we, a few days ago, engaged a talented young man to supply his place. As the result of two days' incassant toll he yesterday handed us the following soul-harrowing item: "In the whole range of our extended and varied experience, we never before witnessed a more excruciating scene than that which transpired yesterday—a scene which froze with horror the marrow in our bones. A four-horse team came dashing down Centre street at a most fearfully rapid pace, and when near the post-office came within four acres of running over a nurse and two small children. One of the most heart-rending and fearful catastrophes that pencil ever recorded would have taken place, had not the nurse, with wonderful sagacity and presence of mind, providentially gone home about half an hour before the team passed. And then, what rendered the scene all the more exciting, the driver of the team, upon reaching Los Angeles street, deftly turned the corner, and drove toward Santa Ana. Had it not been for this wonderful conglomeration of coincidences—this heterogenous mass of favorable circumstances—a doting father, a loving mother, 2 affectionate sisters and 1 brother would have been plunged into the depths of unutterable woe, and enormous funeral expense." It is needless to say that upon reading the above we drew a cheque for his services and incontinently fired him out of the office. Friday's Daily. The Paymaster of the S. P. R. R. is in Los Angeles. Messrs. Fred W. Athearn and G. D. Plato arrived last night. Judge Bailey, who has built a very nice house on his lot on the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets, commenced "moving" yesterday. The steam whistle at the Anaheim Grist Mills now sounds at 12:45 and 5:45, instead of at 1 and 6 P. M., as heretofore. Under-Sheriff T. E. Rowan and C. H. Williams, of Los Angeles, have formed a partnership for the purpose of conducting a real estate and money-lending business. We yesterday received from Messrs. Taylor and McCoy, of Westminster, some delicious Muscat grapes, which were grown on Mr. Danskin's vineyard. We return thanks for the courtesy. At Agricultural Park next Sunday J. P. Smith will attempt to ride one hundred miles in four hours and forty-five minutes, for a purse of $400. The rider will use as many horses as are required. Judge Sequlveda, of the District Court, yesterday issued naturalization papers to Thos Dunne, a native of Ireland; Mateo Castro, of Mexico; Henry Wohl, of Switzerland; Martin Varwig, of Sweden and Jonas P. Varwig, of Switzerland. A communication from J. C. Maynard, Secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee, announces that Hon. J. S. Hagar will address the friends of Tilien, Hendricks and Reform in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 4th. The speech of Tom Fitch, delivered in Los Angeles on Tuesday night was a splendid effort. We quote the preparation by the Fireman. A TRIP TO RIVERSIDE. [From an occasional Correspondent of the GARDENER] Sights and Secrets on the way—The town Described—its Irrigating Facilities, Climate etc—a Comparison—interesting Observations. RIVERSIDE. We have been to this "modern Paradise." Our route was up the Santa Ana, taking us from your town through a section entirely new to us, and we were surprise to find so much cultivated land between you and the cafion. Just before entering the cafion we saw what was to us NOVEL CORN SHELLING. An old Spaniard had thrown about five bushels of "corn on the ear" into a pile, and was with a very heavy sycamore flail pounding away at the heap. He said he began at sun-up, and when we saw him at half-past eleven, he had shelled four sacks. This mode is surely quite a striking one, but how profitable we say not. After driving so long and crossing the river so often that we thought we must be near the end of that miserable canyon, our hopes were revived by seeing a group of children clad in nature's garb; they had not even the traditional fig leaf. This, we thought, may be indicative of our approach to "the new Eden." But the long ride, after all, only proved that "all signs fall in California." Just before sunset, after driving about nine hours, we REACHED RIVERSIDE, And were agreeably surprised. The houses are better than we expected, and the town shows rapid growth and Eastern thrift. There are many brick buildings; and we were informed that a good brick house cost less than a good frame. This, judging from an 8-room gothic cottage of brick, hard finished throughout, having long windows of large glass, and porches, and costing only $2,800, we think is true. Nicely ornamented grounds, where the houses are literally covered with choice flowers, are quite frequent. There are three churches, Congregational, Methodist and Episcopal. ANAHEIM AND ORANGE Would be greatly improved by adopting the system of bridging the canals and ditches, as is done here. Where though they pride themselves on their grapes, the difference is as marked as with the apples. There, small berries and short clusters, and here, the reverse. This shows that in some fruits at least we take the lead, and this would be enough to induce some to give us the preference. But we have stronger points. Here our choicest unimproved lands are $50 per acre; there, the price is $60. Here, ARTESIAN WELLS Are easily obtained, and cost on an average not over $200, and give the clearest and purest of soft water for household use, stock and irrigation; there, you must buy your water. For using on two and a half acres in town and for household use, the rate is $33 a year. Where parties own more of land, the Superintendent of the Company informed us it cost about $5 per acre each year for water. There is an additional charge of 25 cents a month for every head of stock watered. Here not only do all fruits thrive and do finely, but we can and do raise all kinds of farm crops and vegetables, and the yield is immense. In this way we can pay our expenses until our trees come into full bearing. But how can a man afford to grow such crops with water $5 for each acre planted? Or even if he can do it, can he not do better where each year he saves this $5 an acre? Here a man can buy 40 acres, make his first payment and bore a well and pay out no more money than the payment alone would amount to there, and save $200 a year that would there be paid for water. Our soil WILL PRODUCE ANYTHING. Our climate is healthy. We make these statements and draw these comparisons not in disparagement of Riverside or praise of Westminster. Our object is to set forth factual to show that all statements regarding the impossibility of growing fruits in the coast regions are groundless. Westminster is but one of many places in Los Angeles county where what has been said is applicable. We have notes regarding the Temescal Creek and its valley; the warm springs, profits of the bee business and the abundance of wild game; but will hold them for a future letter. JOHN TORREY, JR. Westminster, Oct. 19th. A communication from J. C. Maynard, Secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee, announces that Hon. J. Hagar will address the friends of Tillen, Hendricks and Reform in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 4th. The speech of Tom Fitch, delivered in Los Angeles on Tuesday night was a splendid effort. We quote the peroration, as reported by the Express: Mr. Fitch drew a magnificent word picture of the two art galleries of the nation. On the halls of one was hung the pictures of an oppressed race, pleading for freedom; the skeletons of a rebellion engendered by hate and carried on to destroy a free empire. Its walls were wrapped in gloom and the green oozes of a murky and noxious atmosphere trickled over their stained surface. Shut the door and double lock it. Let the key be cast into the rivee Let so that no mortal may be shocked at the horrors it reveals. Let us enter the other gallery. Open wide the gates, and greet the joyous light that casts its welcome gleam upon the soul-stirring scenes depicted on the nation's canvass. Behold, a tall man, standing erect with pen in hand, surrounded by millions of people on their knees, their hands in fetters that fall as he places his undying name to the Emancipation Proclamation. See, amid the lurid smoke of thundering cannon, a stately ship sailing into the very teeth of shot and shell, and lashed to her malnutpied an old but dauntless man, whose silver hairs are sporting in the wind. There, see that gallant rider urging his black charger on towards the retreating columns, driving them by a word back to the serriled ranks, and snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat. Behold that silent soldier marshaling his columns, and throwing them irresistibly on the last stronghold of rebellion, while applauding millions fall on their knees and thank God that the night has passed and the day has come.

Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for up to Oct. 19th, in the Anaheim Post Office: ANAHEIM AND ORANGE Would be greatly improved by adopting the system of bridging the canals and ditches, as is done here. Where the main canals cross the roads neat and strong bridges are built; and the branch ditches for irrigating pass under the road, through strong brick calverts. In all our driving about here we found none of those disagreeable if not dangerous unbridged canals crossing the roads. The irrigating system here seems to be as perfect as possible; where canals must be used. These are large, having capacity enough for all demands, and the supply is almost unlimited. We were pleased with the manner in which these canals are built. The banks are broad, firm and heavy, and the whole thing shows that the men who own them considered it poor economy to build in a slip-shod way. They appear to be meant to last. One of the canals runs for about three-fourths of mile through a channel blasted out of tile solid rock. AN AVENUE 132 feet wide, and over 15 miles long, has been laid out through the centre of the Company's land. The road is now hard and smooth as a floor, and when fully completed, with trees in the middle and along the sides, it will make one of the finest drives in the world. We have never seen a finer body of land than the 25,000 acres owned by this company. The soil is good for fruit, and there is just enough fall toward the Temescal creek to give ditches a good grade. The climate is much hotter than with us, and their location, just below the Santa Ana cafon and Cajon Pass, renders strong winds certain. Of course, their air is dryer than we find it near the coast. From the foregoing it will be seen that there must be at the head of these operations and improvements a good supply of executive ability and public spirit. And were more of our land owners troubled in the same way, advertising generally here and at the East, and so improving their possessions so as to make them attractive to visitors, they would see, in the largely increased sales, the same proof of its paying that the Riverside Company have. RIVERSIDE AND WESTMINSTER COMPARED. We are willing to concede to Riverside all that is due her; but we don't admit all that she claims. Still, in drawing these comparisons, we do not claim to be infallible; they are simply opinions based on our own observations and notes, and given as such. Should they meet the eye of parties intending to locate in Southern California we ask you, in case our statements are doubtful buildings; and we were informed that a good brick house cost less than a good frame.

Still, in drawing these comparisons, we do not claim to be infallible; they are simply opinions based on our own observations and notes, and given as such. Should they meet the eye of parties intending to locate in Southern California we ask you, in case our statements are doubted, to visit the localities and judge for yourselves. Had we capital enough to make payments on land, erect buildings, purchase trees, teams, tools, &c., and carry us along for a few years, till the trees came into bearing, we would, if we desired to go exclusively into tropical fruits, locate at Riverside. We never have seen any such growth on orange and lemon trees as was shown there. And the trees are almost wholly free from "scale." It is but reasonable the tropical fruits should better in their warmer climate; still, we deny that "oranges, lemons and limes can't produce good fruit near the coast, or any place where they are exposed to fogs and winds." We can not point to such fruits, ripened here, to prove that this claim, so generally made at Riverside, is false. But no finer orange can be grown than we have tasted from Mrs. Langenberger's trees in Anaheim. Then Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Diego, all right on the coast, abundantly prove that the claim is groundless. "FOG AND WIND" Is the argument used at Riverside against our section. Until our visit there we were ignorant of the fact that "fog will blast all fruits and crops." Well, "live and learn," still, if it be true, and our corn, apples, pears grapes, berries, &c., are samples of this blasting, they are blasted good! Our tropical fruit trees grow and look finely, and will, we believe, do well. We can not compare the fruits of the two places without doing Westminster an injustice, for ours are far ahead of anything seen there. As a sample of our apples we took a Rhode Island Greening, weighing 161 ounces, and could have taken a larger one. But there the apples were small. And miles from San Jose are valued at $1,000 per acre, and pay a good interest on that valuation, with a home to the owner. Santa Ana Items. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] A parson traded horses a few Sundays ago with one of his deacons. The parson was to pay ten dollars "to boot!" which; if he had kept his word, enables the world to learn that such pious people could be so worldly. In addition to what we have said against the Republican nominee for Supervisor we have learned that he is second cousin of "Sitting Bull;" that he stole "Charlie Ross;" was a backer of the "Mollie Maguires," and that the "Younger brothers" are cousins-in-law to his nineteenth wife, etc. If we learn any more of this man's record we will lay it before the people. The News has recently discovered such a place as Newport Landing, and now it has found out that we don't want any railroad. It will soon find out that Adam is dead, and make due announcement of the fact. Mr. Walton, of Boston, is here, prospecting for the best point to invest his money. Mr. Dresser, north of town, has sold his place for $72 per acre. Humphreys & Titchenal, have dissolved partnership in the real estate business, both continuing it separately. We will pay our respects to "Z" and others in our next in regard to Newport and Anaheim Landing. Bion. Oct. 19, 1876. Santa Monica Items. The Santa Monica Outlook has the following: About 50 men are at work on the railroad, ballasting and ditching. By the time the rainy season sets in the entire road will be in a condition to escape all "washouts." Two men, whose names we have not learned, were buried up to their necks last Monday in the gravel pit on the railroad. Luckily there were others present, who proceeded to dig them out at once. They suffered no serious injury, but were compelled to enjoy a somewhat protracted squeeze. As a member of the "Yankee nation" we shall claim the right to make a guess. This is, before a great while there will be some developments in regard to the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad that will not be the least detrimental to the best interests of Santa Monica, Los Angeles county, or Southern California. Richard deF. Stokes, who has for some time been an efficient clerk in the employ of the L.A. & I.R.B. Company, has discontinued his connection with the road. He will probably start for his old Eastern home in a few days. Antoline Perry, night watchman on the wharf, has made a new departure in the art of fishing. About the "whiching hour of midnight," he ties a lantern to a string and lets it down near the surface of the water. The light seems to attract the fish, when he drops his line and "goes for'em." At any rate he has "good luck" by this method. BORN. In Santa Ana, October 5th, to the wife of Alex Gibson, a son. In Los Angeles, Oct. 12th to the wife of J. G. Hawley, a son.

A pick-pocket, working in a crowd one dark night, relieved one man of a well-filled envelope that he thought might contain valuable papers. When he came to examine it he found it to be a "Domestic Paper Fashion." White, smooth and soft any lady's hands, arms or neck may become who uses GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP. Pimples or other disguements of a complexional nature are surely obliterated by this healthy promoter of beauty. To Shake, or not to Shake? Aye, that is the question. Is it better to quiver from head to foot in the paroxysms of fever and ague, or to banish the afrocious disease by a course of that standard anti-febrile remedy, Hostetter's Bitters. There cannot be much doubt as to the response of the malaria-stricken of this inquiry. From every locality on this continent whose inhabitants are tormented with the shivering plague, comes an increasing demand for the only genuine preventive and eradicant of malaria provided by science. The denizens of fever and aguedistricts well know how utterly inedoquate to do more than give a brief respite are the so-called remedies of the faculty. Quinine, arsenic, bismuth—what are those but poisonous palliatives, which cease after a time to produce any beneficial effect whatever, and if persisted in wreak irreparable mischief upon the system? Everywhere they are being abandoned by intelligent persons, and that genuine vegetable specific for intermittent and remittent disease, Hostetter's Bitters, substituted in their place.
