Mr. Linington has succeeded in obtaining a fine flowing well about three quarters of a mile south of Santa Ana. There have been several cases of small pox out at Pomona and San Jose lately, one of which, at the latter place, was fatal. Judge Humphreys of Santa Ana was in town yesterday. He reports the city of Santa Ana to be in a flourishing condition. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: Nine pipes wine; 21 sacks potatoes; 4 cases lard, 30 pkgs mdse.

The municipal election in Los From Thursday's Daily. Candidates for Town Marshal are already urging their claims to office and soliciting support. The rival stage lines to Santa Ana have effected a compromise, and the rates of fare have been raised to seventy-five cents, instead of twenty-five. It has been proposed to hold a meeting on Saturday to make nominations for the new Board of Trustees for the town of Anaheim. A delegation from San Juan Capistrano, including Messrs. Bacon, Egan Charles, Garcia, Reverin and Abila, were in town last evening, en route for Los Angeles. The shipments from the depot this morning were as follows: keg vinegar, 1 box shoes, 2 boxes bottles, 2 sewing machines, 1 box butter, 2 coops chickens, 1 sack beans, 1 car brea. There were several accidents yesterday in the way of runaway teams and broken wagons. There was, however, nothing serious occurred, except the serious feeling of the owners when the blacksmith's charges for repairs were presented. The time-honored custom of beating old tin cans and making hideous noises, was not forgotten or neglected at the wedding of Mr. J. Winters on Tuesday night. The boys were all on hand and did their level best. We looked with longing eyes yesterday on the splendid display of new goods just received by M. A. Mendelson. We wished we were rich enough to invest, but as we were not, the only thing we can do is to avise all who need new suits to visit his establishment.

The total number of votes cast amounted to 2,037 against 2,768 at the recent Presidential election. The majority of the Democratic ticket is elected. Los Angeles Lodge No. 42, F. & A. M., elected the following officers on Monday evening: H. S. Orme, W. M.; E. E. Spence, S. W.; W. C. Furrey, J. W.; S. Meyer, Treasurer (re-elected); Chas. Smith, Secretary (re-elected). A telegram was received yesterday afternoon by Mr. John Fischer from Supervisor Evey, stating that the petition for the incorporation of the town of Anaheim had been granted, and that an election had been ordered on the 23d day of December. The annual election of Santa Ana Lodge No. 241, F. & A. M., was held on Saturday evening Dec. 2d. The following were the officers elected: R. B Guthrie, W. M.; Isaac Harding, S. W.; G. W. Vance, J. W.; J. H. Fruit, Treas.; J. N. Burtnett, Sec. 1 We received a pleasant call last evening from Mr. J. J. Bullis, of Wilmington, who is spending a few days here for the benefit of his health. We gazed with pity upon his emaciated form and hope the beautiful climate of our town may prove beneficial to him. The Los Angeles Herald has the following: W. J. Knox, the pedestrian, is preparing for a match in which he proposes to walk three thousand miles in one hundred and twenty-five days, for a purse of $600. If the task should be performed in one hundred and ten days the purse is to be increased to $700. The match is to take place at the Agricultural Park. It will be remembered that Knox is the man who walked all the way to Los Angeles from New York. Yesterday we were again visited by one of those gentle Santa Ana zephyra which fanned our brows with the heated air of the desert, and whirled the seared sycamore and grape leaves in graceful eddies about our and ten days the purse is to be increased to $700. The match is to take place at the Agricultural Park. It will be remembered that Knox is the man who walked all the way to Los Angeles from New York. Yesterday we were again visited by one of those gentle Santa Ana zephyrs which fanned our brows with the heated air of the desert, and whirled the seared sycamore and grape leaves in graceful eddies about our head; softly covered the defunct dogs and antiquated boot legs in the streets with the fine sand of the ditches; breathed sweet murmurs around the corners of old buildings, and wafted the delightful odors of the uncovered cesspools to our nostrils. The Anaheim Literary Society held their meeting on Monday evening. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Messrs. Athcarn, Lynill and McFadden were appointed a committee on programme for the next term. The report of the Library committee was submitted and further time given. Messrs. T. S. Grimshaw and Robert Brown delivered declamations. The following question was then discussed: Resolved, That all laws should be obeyed. Mr. Lynill opened the debate, followed by his opponent, E. F. Cahill. The decision of the committee was given in favor of the affirmative. It was proposed to amend Article 12th of the Constitution of the Society by the following addition: That the President hereafter elected shall, upon assuming the chair, deliver an inaugural address. The question selected for discussion at the next regular meeting is: Resolved, That the abrogation of the Burlingame treaty with China is absolutely necessary for the preservation of the Union. Messrs. V. Montgomery, A. G. Beebe, Fred Rimpan and H. Blanken will argue the affirmative, and Messrs. J. M. Guinn, J. Fischer, T. S. Grimshaw and G. D. Plato, the negative. Ed. Schubert and Fred W. Athcarn were chosen for declamation. We visited Hinde's Brewery yesterday, and while there was shown some samples of the various classes of barley used in the manufacture of beer. We especially noticed the difference between the plump kernels of the chevalier barley and the shriveled kernels of the common barley. Mr. Hinde informs us that while the labor and expense was no more to raise a crop of chevalier barley, the profit to the farmer was at least thirty-five per cent more than from the barley usually produced, and that it was more suitable for all purposes. He has been furnishing seed to a great many of the farmers for the purpose of introducing the crop more generally in this district. Westminster School.

Board met pursuant to adjournment. Present: Hinds, Evey, Allen, Young and Hannon. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. Mr. J. C. Hannon was appointed to confer with Mr. L. J. Rose in regard to the Santa Anita road. It was ordered that the New River bridge at Washbourne's crossing be accepted, subject to certain conditions in agreement with Mappa & Gay. The petition in regard to the Anaheim Landing road was referred to Supervisor Evey. T. J. Ash and Vicente Duarte were appointed Constables of San Gabriel township, vice Geo. Soule and N. J. Jones, resigned. In the matter of the right of way to the approach to New River bridge at Washbourne's crossing, through land of W. T. Swain and J. Kelleher and wife, it was ordered that the Auditor draw his warrant for $50 in favor of W. T. Swain, for thirty feet for said road; also, to issue a warrant to J. Kelleher for $40, for thirty feet in width. Adjourned until Tuesday at 10 A.M. TUESDAY, Dec. 5. Board met pursuant to adjournment. All present. Report of County Physician received and ordered on file. Ordered that January 4, 1877, be fixed for settlement with the Road Overscuer. Ordered that a portion of the road between Anaheim and Santa Ana be abandoned, as per petition. The question of creating Fountain Valley township into a Road District, and appointing Road Overseers, was laid over until the next meeting of the Board. The election precinct of Duarte was made a Road District, and Mr. L. Barnes appolited Road Overscuer. The resignation of Mr. J. C. Barnes, as Justice of the Peace of Azuza District, was accepted. Bills audited and ordered paid, as per allowance book. The auditor was instructed to draw warrants in favor of Mappa & Gay for the building of the New River bridge, in the sums of $1,015-40, $310-60 and judging from fruits raised and dried in this vicinity. D. C. Hayward made the first shipments of limes from this vicinity. Several parties have produced oranges hereabouts this season and in five years there will be no end to the production. X. Y. Z. Dec. 7th, 1878. Westminster Items. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] Thanksgiving Day was spent here much the same as in New England settlements. The Presbyterian Methodist churches held union service in the hall. Rev. J. A. Van Anda delivered a very able discourse. In the afternoon there were gatherings of friends and divisions of turkeys and other edibles. The Ladies' Building Fund Society will hold a fair in the hall on Christmas day, offering for sale articles suitable for presents. Tables will be set, where refreshments can be purchased. In the evening they will have a Christmas tree and festival, in which all of the colonists are invited to participate. There will be no charge for admission. The Qui Vive Society will give a musical entertainment in the hall, on Friday eve., Dec. 22d. Mr. Parker has moved here from Santa Clara and is building a wagon shop on our town site, opposite Culver's blacksmith shop. We are confident he will find plenty of work. Mr. Larder has brought his family on from Canada and makes his home here. Mr. Willey, from Maine, has arrived with his family, and intends locating here. Some other parties are here prospecting, some of whom will doubtless make purchases. We are informed by some of the passengers that on the train from Los Angeles to Anaheim, a few evenings ago, there were twenty-eight persons for this place. The Methodist church will be dedicated a week from Sunday. It is expected that the Presiding Elder from this district, and Rev. Mr. Hickey, of the Los Angeles Methodist church, will take part in the services. Domestic Prunes. Mr. C. T. Settle, the Superintendent of the Alden Fruit Preserving Company of San Jose, informs the California Agriculturist that they have this season converted forty-five tons of fresh prunes into fifteen tons of very excellent dried fruit, worth $280 per ton. The cost of fresh prunes at the factory was $1 50 per hundred pounds. These forty-five tons were produced on about ten acres of land, about 9,000 pounds per acre. This, at the low price of $1 50 per hundred pounds, is $135 per acre for the fruit, which pays very well these times. The expense of the green fruit was $1,350, and the dried prunes are worth $4,200, leaving a profit, excluding labor, of $2,850. The cost of gathering the prunes is less than any other fruit crop. Straw or sheets are spread under the trees, and the ripe fruit is shaken off and packed up into boxes, and taken to the factory at no greater cost than so many potatoes already dug. The market in the Eastern States is good, and all the finest, above supplying the home market, are shipped in refrigerator cars in a fresh condition. They keep so well that they may be even safely transported in good order in ordinary cars. The Eastern market for cured prunes is mostly supplied by Europe, from whose ports immense quantities are sent to New York, and sometimes sold as low as $5 the hundred pounds after paying 15 per cent duty. The fact that we have to compete with European prunes at such low rates is worthy of consideration, and would seem to restrict our market. Still it is thought that the superior quality of our prunes, cured by the Alden process, will command an advance over imported prunes sufficient to encourage the business. In regard to other fruits the following is about a correct statement of the profits: Five acres of prunes, eight years old, yielded a net profit of $2,000; two acres of Bartlett pears, twelve years old, shipped East; a net profit of $1,300; two acres of prunes,dried and packed,a net profit of $900. At the prices paid for strawberries last year, they would not the producer something over $300 per acre; blackberries,bought$450 to $500 per acre; plant which is extensively grown on the partitions lands adjacent to San Antonio. Valley township into a Road District, and appointing Road Overseers, was laid over until the next meeting of the Board. The election precinct of Dunarte was made a Road District, and Mr. L. Barnes appointed Road Overseer. The resignation of Mr. J. C. Barnes, as Justice of the Peace of Azuza District, was accepted. Bills audited and ordered paid, as per allowance book. The auditor was instructed to draw warrants in favor of Mappa & Gay for the building of the New River bridge, in the sums of $1,015,40, $310,60 and $500. Adjourned until 10 p.m. Wednesday. WEDNESDAY, Dec. 9th. Board met pursuant to adjournment. All present. The report of the viewers in the matter of the Main street extension road to the north line of San Pedro Rancho, was adopted, and the road declared a public highway. Damages were awarded as follows: Co-operative Nursery Company, $1,500; M. Thomas, $100; J. K. Stump, $40; and Geo. Wright, $40. The expense to be divided equally between the Vernon and Florence road districts. On motion of Mr. J. D. Young, Dr. J. H. McKee was appointed to vaccinate all unvaccinated parties in the county, at a salary of $25 per month, to continue during the pleasure of the Board. Bee-Keepers' District Convention. Apiculture is now assuming an important position among the various branches of industry of the country; so much so that a general co-operation of those engaged in it is necessary for the purpose of systematizing the honey trade and a more general development of apicultural interest. After consultation with bee-keepers in different parts of the county it has been thought best in order to secure the object to call a convention of the bee-keepers of the leading honey producing counties of the State, viz: San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Los Angeles, with all others that may see proper to participate; to be held at Los Angeles Thursday, Jan. 18th, 1877, opening at 1 o'clock P.M. It is earnestly hoped that remote counties, where it will not be convenient for many to attend, will at once organize associations and send delegates to represent them. It is hoped that the call will be responded to in a manner equal to the interest demanded. Orange Items. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Thanksgiving passed off very pleasantly. Our turkey failed to arrive in time; but, then, we enjoyed knowing that everyone was not suffering under the same misfortune. A little enterprise and but little financial assistance by those of our citizens abundantly able, would insure a grist mill in our town. The new meat market situated on Glassel street began operations on the 1st instant, therefore there is no need of his family, and intends locating here. Some other parties are here prospecting, some of whom will doubtless make purchases. We are informed by some of the passengers that on the train from Los Angeles to Anaheim, a few evenings ago, there were twenty-eight persons for this place. The Methodist church will be dedicated a week from Sunday. It is expected that the Presiding Elder from this district, and Rev. Mr. Hickey, of the Los Angeles Methodist church, will take part in the services. Mr. J. F. Marquis, of the firm of Alward, Bros. & Co., leaves for San Francisco to-morrow to purchase holiday and other goods for their establishment. We are pleased to see that our Santa Ana neighbors have organized a Bureau of Information and Immigration, and have sent an authorized agent East. The entire southern portion of our county has suffered because we have had no such association. We need an organization that will furnish general and reliable information,and sincerely hope the Santa Ana Bureau will do this. It is gratifying to see such communications as X.X.X. in last week's GAZETTE. As to the need of giving the Lighter Co. more general patronage, and the result following the closing of the Landing as set forth in that letter, we believe the case could be stated with more emphasis and still be true. Many of the towns of our State, Stockton, for example, show the effect of "monopoly." And if our Landing is closed this entire section will feel the power of Stanford & Co.'s grasp. The question arises,"Is there any danger of the Landing being closed?" That all depends on our shippers; the Steamship Co. have taken one steamer off the Anaheim route for lack of patronage. If merchants and others desire to break up the Lighter Co. the method is a simple one; having all freight shipped by rail will accomplish that object. If, however, they wish to have the Landing continued; an opposite course will be necessary. Your correspondent touches up the wharf question. While we realize all the advantages from having a good wharf, and would like to see one near us, we doubt if the time has arrived when argument will help the matter; but when Bolsa Chica is less vividly remembered, and there is more money in circulation about us, we believe a successful move could be made in this direction.

Drink California Wines. Our habitual wine-drinkers had better custom themselves to our American,rather to that of our California wines,because that industrious little creature,the phloxera,mwhich might without much stretch of imagination,became an advocate of temperanceor rather,p perhaps.of total abstinence,has been very busy present seasonin destroyingthe grape production.Nearly allthe wine-producing countries are thus afflicted,and consequentlythe wine production will be proportionally less,and probably as equally inferior in quality.Wherforewe advise those who are determinedto drink wineto begin accustoming themselves to our own native productions.Becausealthoughthe European production will fall shortprobably one-halfof its usual amountit is tolerable safe to say that therewill be in market just as much wine claimingto beofEuropeproductionas ever.How muchof it ever crossedtheAtlanticis quite another question.Shouldthe productionof any one particular wineof Europe fail utterlyfor ten yearsin successionyoumay findjustas muchclaimingtobeofthatparticularproductionasifvinasandallelseconnectedwerein their former flourishingcondition.And thousandswoulddrinkitnotbeingableto telldifference,tothe distinguishbetweenthe realandthesimulated,不becauseof their similarity，as becausemanydo not know one kindof winefrom another,thegoodfromthebad.BetterdrinkourCalifornia wines,andso patronizeourpeople.-Alta.

A little enterprise and but little financial assistance by those of our citizens abundantly able, would insure a grist mill in our town. The new meat market situated on Glassel street began operations on the 1st instant, therefore there is no need of sending abroad for your morning steak. We have learned that the railroad between Los Angeles and San Diego will surely be pushed forward and completed ere the next Centennial. We learn that the incorporation of this district will insure a handsome public plaza or park, give us fine roads with no chucks, advance the beauty of the whole country by compelling the setting of shade trees, make no heavier taxes on the people, concentrate energies for the good of all, give us abundant water privileges and in fact reach the perfection we will never gain otherwise. The third or scrub nine got away with the second nine on last Saturday. As we go by the cognomen of "scrub," we say nothing about it. Our extreme insignificance debarred us from attending the pitch battle between the Azusa boys and the Orange boys on the afternoon of the 1st, but we learn the score stood 8 Azusa and 44 Orange Club. Dr. Burtnett's genial phiz and other Santa Anaans shone on our streets during the week. We have mentioned before the countryside appearance of that and Anaheim's locality; further remarks, therefore, being useless, we only extend hearty invitations to come again. We learn that Santa Monica is a suburb of Santa Ana. Oh! these things doth bother us, verily. The social and tea-party at Mr. Mosbaugh's, Wednesday evening, was really a pleasant affair, and as the literary society meets there on Saturday evening we expect another pleasant gathering. Dr. Joslin expects his family the last of this week from Alton, Ill. We hope the doctor will not be disappointed, for batching is rather an uphill business. Fig and raisin culture bids fair to reach the standard of perfection now claimed by orange producing districts, In the Rural Press of Dec. 2d, a Riverside correspondent replies to our letter concerning that place, published in the Gazette. To feel that our letter merited a reply in the Press, we consider a compliment. And as we are accused of misrepresenting, we will make the necessary corrections. We supposed the most reliable information could be had from the officers of the company and the oldest settlers, and all the statements we made in our letter were based on information received from such source. But a party living 22 miles from Riverside seems better informed as to their resources, etc., than the officers of the Land Co. He says, "corn, vegetables of all kinds, berries of every description, barley and alfalfa, can be raised in abundance." We saw one piece of corn and a few places where they had cut barley for hay, and when we mentioned the absence of farm crops to the President of that company, he said, "experiments have been made with corn, barley and potatoes, but they are not a success. This will always be a fruit section, and your section will be our granary." The vegetables we saw were brought from San Bernardino, and the assortment was so meagre that the Riverside News called attention to the fact. Mr. Rudisil, the genial manager of the company, said he had not seen a good cabbage since he came to California. Still we desire to call attention to the fact that all of these articles: "can be raised in abundance." We did not say, as is charged, that all good land at Riverside is $50 per acre. The statement was and still is that "here our choicest unimproved lands are $30 per acre; there the price is $50. As to our statement concerning their water rates, we asked at the office the average cost for water per acre, and were told about $5 per annum. This seems an error, for in the Press we see "It only costs from $3 to $3 50 per acre, except where parties want a continuous stream of five inches; it then amounts to $50 per annum for a 10-acre lot. We cheerfully make the correction. For water for household use and to irrigate 24 acres in town, the charge is only $3 per annum. For each head of stock watered there is an additional charge of only 25 cts. a month and for general farm use the rate is only from $3 to $5 per acre. How much Riverside has been abused (?) and how little she merited it! Dec. 7th, 1876. An Opportunity for the Afflicted to be Cured at Home. Two or more surgeons from the National Surgical Institute, Indianapolis, Ind., (Pacific Division, Alhambra Building, San Francisco, Cal.) will visit Los Angeles Thursday and Friday, Dec. 21 and 22, 1876. This visit is for the benefit of patients now under treatment; also, for the afflicted who cannot visit the Institute.
