The Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening, F. M. Cahill in the chair. Messam V. Montgomery and D. R. Payne delivered declarations. The following question was then discussed: Resolved, That the President of the United States should be elected by the popular vote. Mr. Theo. Lynill opened the debate, followed by his opponent, Mr. M. A. Mendelson: The decision was given in favor of the affirmative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is, Resolved, That the truth should not always be spoken. The affirmative will be sustained by Victor Montgomery, the negative by Mr. E. F. Cahill. Declamations will be delivered by R. Brown and C. Calloway. The committee appointed to collect books and funds for a public Library were discharged and a new one appointed consisting of V. Montgomery, M. A. Mendelson and D. R. Payne. From Thursday's Daily. The "agricultural fair" was not a financial success. There were large fires, yesterday, in the vicinity of Los Alamitos. A shooting gallery is one of the latest novelties in Anaheim. The stage-driver, yesterday, reported the fire in the hills near San Juan Capistrano to be still burning. Very little freight was brought to the depot for shipment yesterday, on account of the wind and dust. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 15 sacks potatoes, 1 box butter, 3 pkgs sash. A man named Wm. Kerns committed suicide in Los Angeles on Tuesday: Laudanum was the means used.

A three hundred yard race will come on Saturday at the residence of Mr. Gibson, between a roan horse belonging to Mr. Willis, and a bay mare belonging to Mr. J. M. Hickey. The stakes are $250 a side. The Committee appointed by the Literary Society to canvass for a library report the prospect as very encouraging. They will without doubt succeed in establishing a free library in Anaheim. A rumor was current on Monday that within a month the Southern Pacific Railroad Company would set 150 carpenters at work on the construction of extensive machine shops in East Los Angeles. In the case of the People of the State of California va, J. B. Jamison, charged with the battery of Mr. Thomas Harvey, before Justice Bailey yesterday, Mr. Jamison was bound over in the sum of $300 to appear before the Grand Jury. The social given by the members of the Teachers' Institute at Union Hall, on Monday evening, proved a highly agreeable affair. After a round of literary and musical diversions, furnished by volunteers from the company, Reed & Thompson's string band was installed upon the platform and furnished the exhilaration for some light fantastic tripping, which extended far into the night. In other words, the school masters and school ma'am's danced and had a good time of it. "So disasters come not singly; But as if they watched and waited, Scanning one another's motions," Mr. Jamisons' troubles did not end with his trial before Justice Bailey, yesterday, but, as he started for his home one of the horses attached to his wagon kicked over the pole and the team ran quite a distance on Centre street before it could be stopped. The wagon was somewhat damaged; and so the blacksmiths's bill for the broken wagon will follow close upon the heels of the lawyer's bill for the broken arm of Mr. Harvey. A Frenchman who had been engaged in the sheep business on the Tajuata ranch about eleven miles south of the city of Los Angeles con- "The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 15 sacks potatoes, 1 box butter, 3 pkgs sash. A man named Wm. Kerns committed suicide in Los Angeles on Tuesday: Laudanum was the means used. A slight scrimmage between some worshippers at the shrine of Bacchus occurred in a saloon on Centre street, yesterday afternoon. No one was badly injured. The delinquent school tax-list was handed to the Trustees by the Assessor and Collector yesterday. It will immediately be put into the hands of the District Attorney for collection. The annual collection at the Fort Street M. E. Church, on Sunday last, for the cause of education, amounted to the handsome sum of $258, says the Star. And still some people claim that these are tite times! It will be seen by the following totals that Los Angeles county polled the third largest vote in the State at the last election: San Francisco, 41,671; Alameda, 8,339; Los Angeles, 6,649; Sacramento, 6.207; Santa Clara, 5,052. The following resolution was adopted at a meeting of the members of the Southern District Agricultural Society, held in Los Angeles on Tuesday: Resolved That racing on the Sabbath is strictly prohibited under any circumstances on the Society's grounds. A heavy wind, one of the real old-fashioned Santa Ana winds, commenced blowing about 10 o'clock on Tuesday evening. It started the windmills at a lively rate, banged the shutters, and made the dry house-timbers creak. Yesterday morning it was blowing great guns, and the dust of our excellent streets was flying in every direction. "There is never an ill without a corresponding amount of good" says an old proverb, and old Californians say that such winds bring a heavy rain. The prospects of our getting it are quite flattering. From Friday's Daily. A wagon load of olives from the Old Mission Orchard, at San Juan Capistrano, was brought into town for sale yesterday. The warehouse of Mr. Linington, at Santa Ana, is now completed and some 17,000 sacks of barley are stored therein. This city arrived New Mexico yet is now a resident is engaged with I.Casad formerly sheep business.

It will take to get sheep from the cost of getting thing formidable that New Mexico country for sheep ranges are very easy dirt cheap. But ges. It is away from the population is erogeneous. The bought there novice rise, and those we counter the hard may find New Mexico to emigrate to.

At dusk the get 8 innings each, 19 for the Azusa boys,the Azusa A Frenchman who had been engaged in the sheep business on the Tajuata ranch about eleven miles south of the city of Los Angeles committed suicide Monday morning. It seems that he started from the city early in the morning and arrived at his ranch in an apparent aberration of mind, having on neither shoes, coat nor hat. In the presence of a man who was staying on the ranch, he drew a large sheath knife and cut three frightful gashes in his throat, any one of which would have proven fatal. Coroner Kuhrys held an inquiry on the body and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above mentioned facts. The local editor of the Los Angeles Republican, paid us a visit on Sunday and gives his experience as follows: We paid a flying visit to the delightful city of Anaheim yesterday, and were highly gratified in our short visit. We were very handsomely entertained by our kind host of the Anaheim hotel, Mr. Max Nebelung. A more social gentleman cannot be found, and we recommend all our friends when visiting Anaheim, to give our friend Max a call. We also paid a visit to the magnificent residence of Gustave Davis Esq., and viewed his unsurpassed orange grove. It will well repay any one to see what enterprise and taste can accomplish in a few years. His orange trees are inferior to none in the State. During our stay we had the pleasure of an introduction to Mr. Frank Ey, and found him to be a real prince of a good fellow. Long may he wave. A wagon load of olives from the Old Mission Orchard, at San Juan Capistrano, was brought into town for sale yesterday. The warehouse of Mr. Linington, at Santa Ana, is now completed and some 17,000 sacks of barley are stored therein. Mr. C. Tustin was in town yesterday. He informs us that he will build a residence in Tustin City, having sold the tract upon which he has here-toore resided. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: One box eggs, 32 dry hides, 1 sand pump, 1 box glassware, 30 boxes dried onions, 1 car brea. A contract has been let at Santa Ana to move a building, 18x36, from Santa Monica to that place by a resident of Santa Monica, who proposes to change his base of operations to Santa Ana. A convention met at the depot on Wednesday evening and located a town to be called Bocgesville. A petition was in circulation yesterday to establish a post office at that point. Mr. Otto Evers is recommended as post-master. One of the most prominent features of Santa Ana is the large scales put up by Linington. The sign reads,"Buffalo Scales." Whether Buffalo is the place where the scales were made, or whether Mr. Linington had an idea that Santa Ana was a buffalo country, and that it would be a brilliant idea to erect the scales for the purpose of weighing the animals, we are at a loss to know, but we do know that the scales are fine ones, and that they are constantly employed in weighing hay, grain and other products of the valley.

Services will be held in the Episcopal church on Sunday the 20th inst., morning and evening, when the Rev. E. P. Gray, of Los Angeles, will preach. We have received a large quantity of the newest styles of type, and are prepared to do every kind of job printing at rates as low as offered at any printing house in Southern California. Call and ascertain our prices. An elegant tent has been erected on the corner of Los Angeles and Centre streets. We believe it is to be used as a photograph gallery. Its symmetrical proportions will not only enable it to weather a "Santa Ana" in splendid style, but will make it an ornament to our lovely town. There has been filed in the office of the Secretary of State articles of incorporation of the Santa Ana Baptist Church, of Santa Ana, Los Angeles county. It has no capital stock. Directors—A. S. Worrell, F. M. Smith, James Waldrip, W. B. Wall and T. J. Ellis. Also, articles of incorporation of the Los Angeles Academy, under the auspices of the Southern California Annual Conference of the M. E. Church, and the Board of Education of said church. It has no capital stock. Directors—A. M. Hough, A. Higbie, Jonathan L. Mann, P. Y. Cool, W. A. Knighten and George S. Hickey. Last evening's Express says: Mr. L. D. Smith, formerly a teacher in this city, arrived here from Messilla, New Mexico, yesterday. Mr. Smith is now a resident of that Territory, and is engaged with his father-in-law, Mr. Casad, formerly of Santa Ana, in the sheep business. He comes here for the purpose of purchasing about 5,000 head of sheep, which he will take back to Messilla with him. He says that the sheep here are of a better grade than those he could buy in Sonora and other places nearer to New Mexico, and that the greatest objection is the increased distance he will have to drive them. It will take about five months to get sheep from here to his place and Westminster Home. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette] We have to correct the statement in our last week's letter that this precinct was the fifth largest in the county. The official returns show us to be the 7th. McOoy and Taylor use horse power with their well tools to raise the rods; the work is done much easier and faster than by hand. A good shoemaker is greatly needed here, and such a man would find constant employment. Persons living here, as well as the settlers on Coyote Creek and the mesa, and in the willows, who do their trading and get their mail here, have to depend on the Anaheim and Santa Ana shoemakers to do their work. Our corn busking is about over. J. H. Goldsworthy has 440 centals from eleven acres. As this is the first time the ground has been broken, it is a splendid yield. Still we are confident there have been larger yields, and hope our corn growers will give us their figures. Potato digging is going on all about us but we are not informed what they are yielding, further than that it is a good crop. Rev. J. Marquis dug 61 lbs of Red Bermuda sweet potatoes from one plant. One hundred acres of the Alamitos ranch, near the NW corner of the colony, has been rented to a party, who intends planting it with flax. Rev. Calvin Porter and son, of Los Angeles, have moved to their place here. They have bought some fine pigs and stock and intend to try "mixed" farming, setting out a large number of trees and planting the balance of their 80 acres with barley, alfalfa, corn, etc. Our farmers are becoming more and more convinced of the folly of growing only barley, and are preparing for a diversity of crops. We also notice an increased determination to raise stock, and thresh and sack grain by feeding it instead of by machine. If these points are carried out it will be a great advantage to the individual growers and the entire community. S. Edwards has leased his dairy ranch in the south-west part of the colony to Mr. Walton, and will erect a house upon it and bore a well at once. Bien's Letter. SANTA ANA, Nov. 23 The M. E. Church, South, has torn down enough of the fence belonging to the school district to enable them to move the parsonage on to the lot on which the old school house formerly stood. They have moved no portion of it on to the school district's lot, nor have they dug the well they agreed to dig for the school district when they exchanged lots. The school trustees may as well note this one fact, i.e., that until they compel the defaulting concern to comply with their contract, they must not expect any more money to be paid in that was subscribed by the citizens to finish the school house. On Saturday evening last, preliminary steps were taken by the citizens of Santa Ana and surrounding country to organize a "Bureau of Information and Immigration," for the purpose of disseminating correct information throughout the Eastern States in regard to the Santa Ana Valley. The meeting adjourned to meet at Sycamore Hall on Monday evening last. A large concourse of citizens assembled there and effected a permanent organization by electing W. H. Spurgeon President of the Association; N. O. Stafford, Vice-Pres't; M. Wicks, See'y; F. Butler, Treasurer. A list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries were added from the various towns in the valley. An Executive Committee was also appointed from the various localities in the valley, whose business it is to see whether those appointed (who were not present) will take an active interest in the long-needed movement and to find others that will, in case they do not act. Mr. Toler, of Orange, who is about to remove, with all his worldly goods, to Santa Ana, is the originator of the movement. His plans, if faithfully carried out, will redound greatly to the benefit of all interested in the future of this section of country. Organized effort is all that is required to make this end of the county outweigh financially and numerically, Los Angeles City. In fact, we have become so interested in developing the resources of this side of the river that we have decided not to oppose Anaheim's movement for the dismemberment of the county. We intend to let politics of all kinds "slide" and devote ourselves to settling up and advertising this valley from end to end; complete the organization of our A Vivid Description of a Terrific Conflict. ORANGE, Nov. 18. The Base Ball match, played here this afternoon between the Hoosier club of Azusa, and the Orange base ball club passed off very pleasantly. Quite a number of the citizens turned out, and the ladies were numerous. Seats being procured they were nicely situated to view the contest. At half-past one o'clock the Orange boys took the inning. They were in full uniform, consisting of blue caps, white shirt, red pants, white stockings and canvass shoes. C.E. Parker, to bat, made two tallies; on second tally sent a fly to centre field, bloodying Mr. Cady's nose. J.E. Parker made an out on foul, but got in one tally. Capt. Hemphill made two tallies. M. Meyers, two tallies; sent a fly to left field and "cheek" predominated. Bowers made a tally; C.H. Parker made one tally and out on foul; Lockhart, out on foul; Hayward, one tally; Gardiner, one tally, then the side being relieved of the inning by a foul to catcher, the Hoosiers took the bate. Robertson took first on called balls; Thompson out on foul; Cady made one tally; Goodwin, one tally; Elliot, out without a base, and Anderson out on three balls, putting the side out with but three tallies, against 11. Several small bets were then indulged in by the outsiders. It would occupy too much space to go into detail on each inning, so we will put it brief. The Umpire decided all points with firmness, showing himself to be thoroughly conversant with the rules and regulations; he gave complete satisfaction to both parties. The scorers, Messrs. W.W. Young and E.M. MacNiel, attended to their duties in a business-like manner, and all were well pleased. At dusk the game had reached only 8 innings each, but as the score stood 19 for the Azusa and 70 for the Orange boys, the Azusans gave up the contest, the same with three others for this city; arrived here from Messilla, New Mexico, yesterday. Mr. Smith is now a resident of that Territory, and is engaged with his father-in-law, Mr. Casad, formerly of Santa Ana, in the sheep business. He comes here for the purpose of purchasing about 5,000 head of sheep, which he will take back to Messilla with him. He says that the sheep here are of a better grade than those he could buy in Sonora and other places nearer to New Mexico, and that the greatest objection is the increased distance he will have to drive them. It will take about five months to get sheep from here to his place, and the cost of getting them there is something formidable. Mr. Smith says that New Mexico is a very inviting country for sheep and cattle men. The ranges are very extensive and the land dirt cheap. But it has its disadvantages. It is away out of civilization, and the population is very mixed and heterogeneous. The best lands can be bought there now for one dollar and a rise, and those who are willing to encounter the hardships of the pioneer may find New Mexico a good country to emigrate to. S. Edwards has leased his dairy ranch in the south-west part of the colony to Mr. Walton, and will erect a house upon it and bore a well at once. The course adopted by the Presbyterian church here regarding Rev. S.B.King's accident, is commendable. They continue paying his salary and secure a supply for the pulpit. Rev.B.Lefler preaches for them the two next Sabbaths, and it is hoped that by that time arrangements will be made securing us the services of Rev. Mr.Wells, of Michigan, until our pastor is able to resume his duties. We had a slight breeze here last night and this morning. To some who had not cleared their land' of tumble weed: it was a help. But parties who had been burning weeds for several days, and had their land in good plowing condition, can't appreciate the privilege they now have of again clearing the same land. No one would suppose that some places almost free from weeds yesterday had ever been cleared. We have often stated that our stores sold goods at the very lowest figures. Seeing 18 teams and a number of saddle horses here at one time, one day last week, convinced us that others were of the same opinion. That plowing season is near is shown by the demand for these implements. Alward, Bros., & Co., sold seven sukyplows one day last week, all to go to the "other side of the river." We notice in the New York papers a reporter's interview with Mr.Harbison, of San Diego county, one of the largest bee growers on the coast, who shipped ten car loads of honey overland. He is reported to have said he'd not clear $1,000 on the whole shipment. If this is true, it won't encourage men to go into the bee business. Neither will it encourage those now in the business to look to New York for their market. JNO.TORREY.Jr. Nov. 22d, 1876. Orange Items. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.

The pamphlet furnished by the Chamber of Commerce-of Los Angeles did injustice to every section it treated upon.except Los Angeles citywhich overrated.The newspaper isthe true medium by which the people east.west north and south of us can be made acquainted with the advantages this section possesses over all others,because the newspaper is a daily and weekly epitome,showing the daily and weekly progress of each particular locality while,the volume put forth by the Chamber of Commerceis a compilation of newspaper articles,some of them written over a year before the volume was issued This necessarily cannot show the progress the county is making.no difference how ably it may have been written If every individual in a community would constitute him and herself into a Committee of one and subscribe for and send a live newspaper like the GAZETTE or News,papers that are purely devoted to local interests,tot different sections ofthe United States.it would do more towards bringing good.substantial emigrants to this or any other section than all other influences combined.

At dusk the game had reached only 8 innings each, but as the score stood 19 for the Azusa and 70 for the Orange boys, the Azusas gave up the contest, the game ending with three cheers for both clubs, and Orange in general. In the evening a social hop was given at the hall, and as the Azusa boys filed out of town the next morning they were enthusiastic in their praise of the treatment they had received and were well pleased with this vicinity. On the whole, the game was a success. There were no oaths to jar on the ears of the ladies present. We would like to give a description of the good and bad plays, but having no space or time, we will wait until the next match to grow eloquent over. Deeds Filed. N. Fletcher and A. P. Kuffel to N. O.

Our latch string is ever out. It is self evident that U. S. Grant is President. If there is another we live in hope of knowing it in a year or so. A nice little zephyr was wafted over the Santa Ana mountains from off the Mohave, on last Tuesday and all day Wednesday. We do not hanker after these "zephyr's," and would as leave they'd remain at home, on the desert. We learn that Mr. C. Tustin has sold his home place to Mr. Winters, of Iowa. Mr. Winters has spent several weeks looking over this valley, and several months travelling through the State, and finally decided that this valley was the place. The transfers in real estate have been very much limited of late in this vicinity. Dr. Beach is sinking a well at his residence in town. Thomas Hulse is the contractor. The Grange Co-operative Co.'s swindling arrangement still excites the holders of stock. Such curses on a people completely discourages all enterprise as to joint stock arrangements hereafter in this whole section. Several "stakes," we learn, are awaiting the lucky ones, on the Presidential election, but the parties are getting very much discouraged on both sides, for fear their jack-knives will be lost. Several cases of diptheria are reported in the suburbs; also, a case or two of carlet fever. On Wednesday several sports tried their hand at quail shooting. There were five in the party, and after four hours' hunting, returned with one hundred quails. Several are complaining of colds and sore throats hereabouts, but nothing serious is apprehended. X. Y. Z. Nov. 22d, 1678. The Santa Monica Outlook has the following: A meeting will be held at Santa Monica, in the Presbyterian Church, on Saturday, Dec. 9, by the bee men of this vicinity, for the purpose of organizing a Bee-keepers' Association. Geo. Wiltfong, of this place is the premium "shootist" so far this season. One day last week he killed sixteen geese at one shot. W. S. Lyon, of the Alamitos ranch, shipped per steamer from this point during the past week; 638 sheep. These sheep were driven from the ranch below Willmington, near Anabeim Landing. The watchman on the wharf caught a devil fish last night. This was a small specimen, with arms about 12 inches long. These fish grow to an enormous size, and there are stories to the effect that they have been known to carry good-sized vessels to the bottom of the ocean in their huge embrace. J. W. Scott has a tomato plant which attests very thoroughly to the richness of our soil. Although only a few months old, it is about twenty feet high and hanging full of tomatoes in every stage of development, from a blossom to a ripe tomato. The plant (it appears more like a vine) is tacked up against the sunny, shetered side of the house, where it will perhaps continue to grow all winter. While the vine is useful in furnishing this favorite vegetable, it is also very ornamental. Platform Spring Wagons just received at the Grange Store. Express Letter List.
