He has also taken some views of the inside of the church for a gentleman at Los Angeles. Mr. Conrad commenced yesterday to haul bricks for a one-story building, 21 feet front, in the burnt district. If the other land owners on Los Angeles street will exhibit as much enterprise, we shall soon have a fine block of buildings. Mr. A. S.

The following special dispatch was received at the GAZEITE office last night: SANTA ANA, Feb. 6. A dispute occurred about moon-to-day between two men named Ben Williams and M.

The shipments from the depot this morning were, 1 bbI tallow, 1 sewing machine, 18 sks wheat, 1 box butter, 3 bills pelts, 1 keg wine, 20 dressed sheep. We learn that Choyinski, the man shot at Santa Ana on Tuesday, is very low and little hopes are entertained of his recovery. The examination of Williams, his assailant takes place to-day. We were shown yesterday the badge of office to be worn by the town dog catcher. It is an elegant piece of jewelry and reflects great credit upon the skill and ingenuity of the tin-smith who manufactured it. Mr. Conrad has concluded to build a two story building on Los Angeles street. Mr. J. Jordan will build a similar one adjoining. Before many weeks have passed the burnt district will be covered with substantial brick buildings.

The Los Angeles Herald says: The following notice is conspicuously posted on the streets all about the city: VIGILANCE COMMITTEE. The citizens of Los Angeles county are notified to meet at Vernon school house Monday, February 12th, at 4 o'clock p.m., for the formation of a Vigilance Committee, to rid the country of horse thieves. By the request of many tax payers. We warn the would-be vigilantes that they are playing a very dangerous game for this time and place. Our county officers are efficient and diligent and can execute the laws to the satisfaction of all if properly managed. We deprecate any public movement which looks like mob-law, and feel confident that the people of Los Angeles have too much sense to indulge in it. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] A son of Mr. Hjnde was injured on Monday by having one of his feet caught in a cog-wheel. Frank Cobler, of Los Angeles, will soon commence the publication of a new paper at Santa Ana, to be called the Weekly Times.

Scott & Montgomery were attorneys for plaintiff. The citizens of Downey held a meeting on the 6th, and adopted a series of resolutions to the effect that, owing to the prevalence of small pox in Los Angeles, it is the duty of every person to refrain from visiting that city until the disease is eradicated, advising the liberal use of disinfectants and recommending general vaccination.

Only a few weeks ago the burning of a block of buildings in Anaheim destroyed completely the press and material of the Gazette, but the enterprising proprietors immediately obtained a new office from San Francisco and their paper appeared once more before its subscribers after a very short intermission, and greatly improved in looks.

The Gazette was a most welcome visitor last week, as it appeared with its clean face and new dress. The fire made it brighter than ever. The days are warm, causing barley and alfalfa to grow rapidly; our nights are cold and frosty, but Jack has not spent enough of his force here to leave the least trace of his presence on our orange trees. We hope to have cooler days soon, to check the swelling of fruit buds until danger from frost is over. Fruit and ornamental trees are still being largely planted in the orchard, garden and along the road sides. The Trustees have had the school lot plowed and intend setting out ornamental trees at once. In many places here private land-owners are plowing, harrowing and grading the roads passing their places, and a year hence Westminster will appear to better advantage. The statement is made that Blue Gums set out around orchards or ranches for windbreaks will take so much from the soil as to stunt if not destroy, everything growing near them. Personally, we have had no experience in this matter; but large fruit and vegetable growers in Santa Clara, Napa and Alamoda counties state that though they have for years had rows of Gums about their places, in some instances dividing orchards, vineyards and berry plantations, so that the trees or vines were within six ten feet of the Eucalyptus they have never been able to discover any ill effect from the trees growing there. On the contrary, one man in Alameda county, who grows apricots largely, states that though his trees are all of the same age, planted on the same soil and treated in the same manner, those nearest the gums yield the heaviest crops. Where a quick growth is wanted, we should set out the blue gums, but where beauty is desired in the hedge row or wind break, Monterey cypress is the best tree. Last Friday night we noticed a bright light in the direction of our town, and on inquiry learned there had been a large fire. The most striking feature in the affair is that, unlike your Anaheim blaze, there is no mystery regarding the origin of this conflagration. The thermometer stood 86° in the shade last Saturday, and acres and acres of snow in sight! Oh! But distance lends endurance. C. M. Cooper sold his home place last week for $300 per acre, including farm and wagon. Mr. P. Weber, of Los Angeles, was the purchaser, and will reside here hereafter. Rev. W. L. Oge met with a painful accident on the 3rd inst., while harrowing. The harrow fell on one of his feet, making an ugly wound. The Poltroons that circulated the report that Orange and vicinity are besieged with small-pox are the lowest of falsifiers. Quite a number of 3 year old budded orange trees are in full bloom hereabouts. Prospects for plenty of water the coming season, stimulates our energetic populace. Dr. Geller, of El Monte, gave us a pleasant visit this week; he appeared very much pleased with the future prospects of Orange. Mr. McKim, of Mo., is looking for a home in this neighborhood. Mr. Bottoms, we learn, has left for the East. This being his second adventure we don't expect him back for a few months. Quite a number have planted Cypress hedges this winter. They look nice. Horse thieves have commenced operations. Keep your horses covered with a double-barreled shotgun, well charged, and no trouble will happen. Santa Ana intends that no small place like Downey City can have a man for supper and leave her in the shade. J. W. Sallee was in town last week. He reports Tustin City quiet except on the Base Ball question. Look out first nine! Trouble awaits you from that quarter. Three hundred thousand grape vines will be in bearing here this year. We want a dryer. Old Prob says it will rain on the first of next week. Pilfering water from the stockholders of the well is considered a glorious act by a few persons, not a thousand miles away. Burt Guthrie has returned from Virginia City. He has just recovered from a severe illness. He reports that region frozen up and experiencing dull times. X. Y. Z. Tustin City Items. FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT. On account of the fire some of our items may be stale, but the proverb says, "Tis bitter late than never;" so we will send them along. The people here were agreeably surprised at the rapidity with which the Gazette recovered from its disaster. Real Estate Transfers.
