Some gentlemen, not far from the Justice office, yesterday, were experimenting with a mattock, with a view of ascertaining how much exertion would be required in working out the road poll tax. Mr. Barricklow from Orange was in town yesterday. He reports everything progressing smoothly on the ditch, and the people of that section rejoicing in the prospect of a good year. Those who drive through our streets can assist the surveyors in their work by using a little care to avoid running against the poles which are set up. They will only be up for a few days, and if knocked down, require time and trouble to replace. The tables have been turned on the small pox officials in Los Angeles. A notice posted on a house in Sonora warns any pest house officer not to enter the premises on a pretence of hunting up a small pox case, without the consent of the owner. The time for the long looked for Masonic Ball is rapidly drawing near, and every preparation is being made to make it one of the most magnificent affairs which has ever taken place in Anaheim.

It was stated on the street yesterday that Mr. Conrad will commence the erection of a brick building in the burnt district next week. A bound volume of the Anaheim Gazette is missing. If anybody knows where it is, they will confer a favor by informing us. The Hotel & Building Association held a meeting at Scott & Montgomery's office Monday evening, and made a final settlement of their affairs. A special car of the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon with an excursion party. They proceeded immediately to Indian Wells. A man took up lodgings in the hallway over Langenberger's store Monday night. He was troubled with bad dreams and so annoyed the lodgers that they were obliged to call upon Officer Bohn for relief.

Our efficient watchman arrested a man on Lemon Street Monday night for stealing wood. Bohen administered what seemed to him justice on the spot, and saved expenses to the Courts.

The committee will spare no pains to have every thing properly arranged by the 22d. Plow stealing has become fashionable at Upper Santa Ana. Several plows have been stolen during the last few days.

Davis & Bros., and exhibiting a deadly weapon in an angry manner and without cause. The suit was dismissed by defendant aying peosts.

The Star publishes the minutes of a meeting held in Los Angeles twenty-six years ago for the purpose of organizing a volunteer police force. Theo Rimpan and M. L. Goodman were both present at the meeting and we find their names enrolled among the list of volunteers. Says the Star: The Anaheim Gazette, which was burned out just two weeks ago, and did not save ten cents' worth of anything, made its appearance Tuesday morning, January 30th, in a new dress, and, of course, better looking than ever. We extend to the proprietors our congratulations. La Cronica kindly says: It is scarcely two weeks since the fire at Anaheim destroyed all that appertained to the office of the Gazette, and to-day we are receiving that paper with regularity. The energetic spirit and enterprise in this case is remarkable when we consider that it was the only paper there and that all its material had to be brought from San Francisco, and that the insurance only covered a very small part of the loss. The Republican has the following reference: This morning the Anaheim Gazette appeared among our exchanges in bran new dress, an entire new outfit having been purchased and put in order since the fire. This is quick work, as just one week ago last Wednesday the Gazette office was burned out and entirely destroyed. One of the proprietors started for San Francisco before the fire had been extinguished and to-day this plucky paper is out in a better shape than ever.

Mr. Paty has about four hundred tons more of bore to haul to complete his contract with the Los Angeles Gas Company. He says that during the late rains the bore seemed much warmer, and boiled from the springs in great quantities. Evening Express: We this morning received the first copy of the Anaheim Gazette issued since the fire. It is much improved typographically, the type being smaller and more clearly defined than that destroyed, and considering that less than two weeks ago everything pertaining to the office was destroyed, it is no boast on the part of the proprietors to say that resumption has been well and quickly accomplished. Such enterprise deserves success, and will undoubtedly receive it. Most people suppose that Tom Scott is at Washington looking after his railway interests, but that is one of those mistakes which an ignorant public are apt to fall into. As a matter of fact, he is in Anaheim, and what's more, he was found by that vigilant officer, Bohn, in a beastly state of intoxication, and sleeping off the effects thereof in Langenberger's building. For all of which the law will punish him. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A Langenberger, 1 bille wool sacks; McFadden Bros, 2 pkgs blinds; Halberstadt & Co., 1 bundle sacks; E Girardo, 2 empty bbls; J M Creal, 1 pkgs books; F H Blair, 1 carriage; H Goopper, 12 bbls apples, 1 half-barrel sugar; J W Anderson & Co., 1 bhl pickles; J B Stone, 1 half-barrel sugar; J H Moesser, 7 snacks dried grapes; Hindes Bros, 1 keg. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] A large number of people from the country were in town yesterday, making purchases. One thousand eight hundred oranges were gathered from one tree in Mr. Reiser's orchard. The variation at Anaheim, as calculated from observations taken by Mr. Geo. Hansen on Tuesday evening, is 14' 18" East.

Under the caption of "The Anaheim Phoenix," the Los Angeles Herald pays us the following compliment: The Anaheim Gazette, whose type and materials were destroyed on the 17th inst., re-apparved yesterday in a new dress. The paper, in typographical appearance, is much improved over its former style, and, all things considered, the loss to the proprietors has not been without some gain. The promptitude with which the Gazette arose from its ashes is something for Anaheim to be proud of. Homicide at Downey. We learned last evening that a fatal shooting affray occurred at Downey City yesterday afternoon. From the statement made to us it appears that two men named respectively Perry and See had quarreled during the day, but were separated. See proceeded to arm himself with two six shooters and started out to find Perry, with the avowed intention of killing him. The latter having been informed of this armed himself with a shot gun, and when he met his opponent he fired upon him with fatal effect. From all accounts the act was perfectly justifiable. See had the reputation of being a dangerous and quarrelsome individual, while Perry is noted for being a peaceably disposed and inoffensive man. It is said that California furnishes more cases of paralysis than any other country in the world.

Beebe delivered a recitation, after which the following question was discussed: Resolved, That novel reading has a moral tendency. J. M. Guinn opened the debate for the affirmative, followed by his opponent, Theodore Lynn. The Chair gave his decision in favor of the affirmative. It was resolved that the names of the following members be dropped from the roll of this Society for non-payment of their dues: H. Blanken, J. P. Zeyn, Geo. C. Knox and D. E. Miles. It was resolved that a special committee of four be appointed by the Chair, to devise some means of reviving the public interest in the proceedings of this Society; whereupon the Chair named as members of said committee J.

Horrible thought! As soon as our angry passions cooled some, we looked around the corner to see if that unreasonable wretch wasn't follierin us, and then struck a bee line for a lawyer. We sent that there lawyer for that there pistol nineteen times. We sent word that the owner of that there pistol had six orphan wives to support, to induce him to deliver it but the only response that this obdurate wretch would give is "Of coorshe!" To show you, Mr. Editor, how forebearing we are, we have not went after that there pistol ourselves and we have sent him word if he wouldn't rattle that there pistol off he could have the house rent free. But the outlandish fellow only sends us to his lawyer and, in the language of the immortal Tweed, "what are we going to do about it?" The hog ranch Co., have secured a 3½-inch flow from their last artesian well. J. G.Kimball has made an addition to his variety store. The furniture establishment of John R.Pauls, on 4th street, is completed. Mr.H.S.Bundy is doing a rush business. He sells everything in the house furnishing line, on Main street, above 4th. PO fever has been epidemic here for some time, but is not so malignant a form as the Supervisor fever was, that raged so fearfully here some time ago. A few spirits in Tustin City have got township division fever worse than Anaheim had County Division fever about one year ago. Arizona fever is also prevalent here at this time.The balance of the inhabitants are doing as well as could be expected. Two and one-half inches of rain has fallen at this point since Jan. 1st, 1877. Mr.John Lowe has made an extensive addition to the front of his blacksmith and wagon shop. The many friends of the Gazette were pained to learn of its owners' peeminary loss by the late fire in Anaheim, but are glad to see it rise, Phoenix-like, from its ashes,and to see such enterprise and pluck manifested by its proprietors. Mr.Torry of Westminster paid this locality a visit last week,and made us a pleasant call.

He reports the country south of here as looking finely. On the Santa Margarita ranch there is already quite a bite of new grass for the cattle. Almost a Murder. An assault was made on Mr. Clift, agent of the Coast Line Stage Co., at the Planter's Hotel, last night, which came near sending that worthy to his long home. The circumstances, as near as we were able to gather them, were as follows: James E. Rogers, who has been in the employ of the Company for some time past, had been indulging in drink through the day, and seeing that he was unfit to discharge his duty, Mr. Clift put another driver on the coach, in his place; wherein Rogers demanded an instant settlement of his accounts. Mr. Clift told him he would settle with him, but it would be necessary for him to look over the account first. Rogers said he wanted his money immediately and commenced using vulgar and abusive language. Mr. Cliff went to him for the purpose of pacifying him when Rogers drew a pistol. Mr. Clifftelosed in upon him, and in the struggle that ensued received a blow from the pistol on the head, cutting a gash several inches long, from which the blood flowed profusely. Rogers was immediately secured by Marshal Wartenburg and taken to jail. He will probably come up for examination to-day. Ways that are Dark." The Chinaman is a curious cuss. Sometimes you know him and sometimes you don't. At least this was a gentleman's experience in Anaheim recently. He had business with two Celestials; he knew them both and they knew him—that is, he used to know them. He called to see his friends; they were at home. "Good morning, Hunky Choo," said he to one. A vacant stare was his only answer. "What's up?" he remarked pleasantly to the other. Another stare in response. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: O. H.

Robert McFadden was thrown from a wagon on last Thursday, causing a dislocation of the right shoulder joint. The Olio Club, of Newport, gave one of their inimitable entertainments at the Newport school house on last Wednesday night. They opened the ball by a song and chorus, and an opening address by Prof. Bell. A finally executed solo was then delivered by Miss Lillibie Berry—"Give me a Home by the Sea." A declamation was then delivered by Forrest Orover—"Porrahsius." A duett, "Robbin Ruff" was then executed by Messrs Price and Bell, followed by a tableau, "The Orphan's Dream;" followed by music—"Softly, Sweetly," Declamation by S.H.Purcell—"Regulus to the Roman Senate." Music—"Sister Ruth," by Miss Leffler and Mr. Grover. Tableau—"Bachelor's Saturday Night," followed by a comic song by H.A.Ott, delivered in the best comic style— We were sorry to hear of the Gazette's misfortune in being "burned out," and have missed its visits; but it pleases us to learn that the daily was issued Tuesday morning and the weekly will be published Saturday. "Never say die" is a plucky adage, and you seem to have adopted it. May your energy be rewarded by a largely increased subscription list. Since we last wrote you our section has been blessed with bountiful showers; the rain was moderate and steady, thoroughly soaking the ground. Our weather has been warm and the early sown barley is looking well. Plowing harrowing and sowing are going on all about us. More barley will be sown here this season than at any previous year. Large quantities of alfalfa will also be planted. As large number of fruit and ornamental trees are being set out, and berries and small fruits are being extensively planted. In some parts of the colony land owners are setting out trees along the roadsides. If anyone doubts that this is an improvement, we advise them to drive by Mr.Frank Poor's, where he has set out a row of poplars on his side of the road and Mr.Preston has done the same on the opposite side. Were this practice more general among our people, the roads and the entire settlement would be far more attractive to strangers. Some parties here intend setting out Blue Gums for forest culture, and it can but prove profitable. Experienced growers state that for each acre planted eight feet apart a man will in ten years clear not less than $500 over and above all expenses. Some set the figure much higher. When we consider that no cultivation is required after the second season, it is doubtful whether anything will pay so well as the Gum forests. We wish to call the attention of our fruit growers to some sun-dried figs for sale at the store here. They were grown and cured at Riverside and are equal to any we have ever seen. The old adage hath it, "what has been done can be done again," and we believe equally as fine figs can be grown and cured here. The question is often asked, "which is the The Chinaman is a curious cuss. Sometimes you know him and sometimes you don't. At least this was a gentleman's experience in Anaheim recently. He had business with two Celestials; he knew them both and they knew him—that is, he used to know them. He called to see his friends; they were at home. "Good morning, Hunky Choo," said he to one. A vacant stare was his only answer. "What's up?" he remarked pleasantly to the other. Another stare in response. Our friend waxed wroth; he swore; he became jocose, and laughingly suggested the joke had gone far enough, but not a change was there in the stolid countenances of those "heathen Chineses." Our friend was almost in despair when, presumably out of sheer pity, one of them relaxed sufficiently to say: "Hunky Choo Loo Quong him gone away; heap bad man; him run off Los Angeles." Our friend was pleased to see the candor with which the heathen announced his own and his friend's iniquity, and was also delighted to have met with two gentlemen in the flesh who were at the same time in Los Angeles. But he failed to transact his business—the Anaheim Celestials were ignorant of the business life of themselves and dealt only with the Tan and opium part. Walking pensively home, our friend met the Deputy Sheriff; he told him his story. The Deputy smiled and said: "I served those fellows with some papers this morning." The mystery was solved; Barham's papers are indigestible, and when a Celestial gets any of them he leaves for Los Angeles; he loses his identity; his anguish is so great that he loses track of everything. He may seem to be here, but he is not; he becomes a stolid mistake. BORN. At Santa Monica, Jan. 39, 1877, to the wife of Hart A. Downer, a son. MARRIED. CRAWFORD—DAWSON—At the residence of the bride's father, Dr. T. W. Dawson, near Downey, by Rev. M. G. Settle, on the evening of Thursday, January 30th, Mr. M. D. Crawford, Jr., and Miss Sue Dawson. SMITH—BROWN—At Rockefeller, Ill., on the 16th inst., by Rev. Frank P. Woodbury, Mr. Nelson Smith, of Anaheim, Cal., to Miss Mary M. Brown, of Rockford. No cards. CLARK—ALVORD—In Anaheim, January 25, by Justice Bailey, Mr. Win Clark, to Miss Lizzie Alvord. DIED. LAZARD—In Los Angeles, January 31st, Alexander Edward, eldest son of Solomon and Carrie Lazard; in the ninth year of his age. The Ohio Club, of Newport, gave one of their innable entertainments at the Newport school house on last Wednesday night. They opened the ball by a song and chorus, and an opening address by Prof. Bell. A finely executed solo was then delivered by Miss Lillie Berry—"Give me a Home by the Sea." A declamation was then delivered by Forrest Orover—"Porrahsius." A duett, "Robbin Ruff" was then executed by Messrs Price and Bell, followed by a tableau, "The Orphan's Dream;" followed by music—"Softly, Sweetly," Declamation by S. H. Purcell—"Regulus to the Roman Senate." Music—"Sister Ruth," by Miss Leffler and Mr. Grover. Tableau—"Bachelor's Saturday Night," followed by a comic song by H. A. Ott, delivered in the best comic style—"Are you there, Morriarity?" which can only be appreciated by hearing and seeing it delivered. Play—"Box and Cox," in which Messrs. Price and Tedford and Mrs. Berry, particularly distinguished themselves. Duet—"Larboard Watch." "Goddess of Liberty"—Miss Tedford. Music—"Red, White and Blue." Play—"Quiet Family;" this was hit of the evening. Music—"Good Night." All connected with the Olio deserve particular praise for the energy and pluck they have shown in pushing their society forward to the degree of success they have attained. The receipts of the evening were $40, as against over $100 at their previous entertainment, when they had such a fine supper; which shows, after all, that the most successful way to enlist the interest of the general public in an intellectual entertainment is through the stomach. James D. Ott proved a great success as doorkeeper. One of our retailers of bug-juice and a denizen of the classic regions of squatterdom had a set-to-on last Friday; nobody hurt and no arrests. Quong Yik Woo has saddened the heart of Hung Coe by starting an opposition wash house. The knavish idiots who circulated the lying report that a case of measles in this place was a genuine case of smallpox, should, as a punishment therefor, enjoy the luxury of passing through the different stages of that delightful disease. It is a fine thing for some people in this vicinity that the law governed Ananias and his spouse does not obtain in this latitude. Have landlords any rights which tenants are bound to respect? We are lead to ask this question because we want to know you know. We've got a tenant over here who is most obstreperous sort of a fellow. A short time ago we borrowed a pistol, and went around where he stopped to chuck him and his things out in the street; or "shoot him on the spot." He very unnaturally, we think, objected, and actually had the audacity to forbid us to touch his furniture and when we milkly drew that there borrowed pistol, for the purpose of "hull dosing and intimidating" him morally, he, regardless of our ferious aspect—and the muzzle of that there pistol actually grabbed that there We wish to call the attention of our fruit growers to some sun-dried figs for sale at the store here. They were grown and cured at Riverside and are equal to any we have ever seen. The old adage hath it, "what has been done can be done again," and we believe equally as fine figs can be grown and cured here. The question is often asked, "which is the earliest peach?" A Palmetto, Ga., correspondent of the Southern Cultivator writes: "The Alexander ripened June 19th; they were free from rot, worm or blemish; fragrant, showy and very good. Hale's Early ripened July 7th. Amsden and Beatrice were in bloom before the freeze of March, 18th-22d,and were killed. Beatrice in 75 ripened 7 days later than the Alexander, though it blossomed earlier." The question is to be decided this year in this State between the Alexander and Brigg's Red May (a California peach), but we believe the Alexander will take the lead. These are the two earliest peaches known; Mr. Strong has them for sale. Our stores are doing a good business and the blacksmiths, harness and wagon makers are busy. Mr. Strong is kept at work seeing to the filling of orders for trees at his nursery. Many of the sales are to parties from other places. Mr. McLain from San Francisco is visiting our section. He has been to all the settlements in this and San Bernardino counties,and says Westminster seems the most flourishing of any of them. He also says that our hotel is better kept than any he has found and is the only one where the table is really homelike and good. Such testimony is appreciated. Mr. John Delk died at the residence of John R. Davis, Thursday the 25th from an overdose of morphine. The funeral took place Friday afternoon. The painters have finished the inside of the Methodist Church making it a very handsome room. Services will be held next Sabbath. Efforts are being made to organize a "Glee Club" here; a meeting was held in the hall Tuesday evening to effect an organization,但 so few were able to attend that they adjourned to meet at the same place next Tuesday evening. There is enough of musical talent here to form a first-class society and it is hoped that all who are interested in music will attend the meetings. Mr. James McFadden has been pery sick but is now able to sit up. Mr. Butterfield has also been quite sick, so that he was compelled to for a short time, give up teaching. Miss Lizzie Leffler taught while he was sick. Mr. Wayman has bored a well for Mr. Everett in the northeast part of the Colony, getting an inch and three-fourths flow, at a hundred and fifty-five feet. Caldwell and Chase have just finished two wells for Mr. D. Griawold, getting from each two and a half inches flow. One is 125 feet, and the other 116. This makes five wells Mr. Griawold has on his places, and all of them good ones. Alward Bro. & Co. have bought the town lot their store is on, containing one and a third acres, from Dr. James McCoy; consideration, $600, or $450 per acre. Mr. Con Howe leaves Westminster soon, to locate in Garden Grove, where he takes charge of the new store Mr. A. G. Cook is building. Mr. Stevens, after living at Anaheim Landing two years, has returned to his place here and will go into hog and stock raising. January 31st. Aspirants for county offices throughout the State are already shaking hands with their fellow-citizens. When Hear and Fryo make faces at each other, and Blaine and Ben Hill shake hands, things look mixed. Signor Blitz, the magician, died at his residence in Philadelphia on Jan. 28th, aged 67 years. The Persian insect powder plant (Pyrethrum Carneum) is cultivated in San Joaquin county. No less than 145 lodgers were accommodated at the station house in Oakland during the three weeks ending Saturday, January 27th. The Saturday Review estimates that the civilized world spends some $6,000,000 annually for ostrich feathers. A wonderful temperance revival in Pittsburgh and that neighborhood has made 10,-000 converts, and the excitement is growing. Ten churches are crowded nightly by enthusiastic meetings. A congregation of Roman Catholics in Rome, N.Y., has gone over in a body to the Protestant Episcopal Church. The members are Germans, and the movement grew out of a quarrel with their priest.
