Probable Attempt at Arson. The case of Norman Hayward, charged with having attempted to commit arson in the first degree, came up for hearing before Judge Bailey yesterday, and judging from the large crowd in attendance throughout the proceedings must have created great interest. The facts elicited during the examination were about as follows: Defendant was seen lurking around the Planters' Hotel at 11:30, p.M., by R. Bohn, who closely watched him. After some dodging the officer caught the defendant in the rear of the hotel. Bohn arrested him and locked him up. A search of the premises, in conjunction with Mr. Heimann, revealed the fact that two bottles of coal oil had been deposited a few feet from where defendant was found. Defendant subsequently admitted to officers Barham and Bohn that he placed them there, but gave no explanation of his reasons for so doing; nor did he give any of his presence on the premises at such an unseemly hour. Judge Bailey held him to answer before the Grand Jury, fixing his bail at $1,000. Defendant's friends decline to furnish bail unless he gives a satisfactory account of this, to say the least, strange affair. FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY. Major Pauline Cushman has gone to Arizona.

In reply to a statement that the late Mrs. A. recently of small-pox, he deded her professionally ment, the Doctor publishes the charge. He argues that he could not have disease to her because invariably took, in the clothes, etc., after having patient. But probably part of his defense is what not only did not attack he has not seen nor past three years. [FROM TUESDAY] Fifty-five cases of death at Los Angeles yesteryear. E. H. Kane died on Friday.

The Committee of Arrangements for the grand hall to be given on the 22d are working hard to make it a grand success. A good time may be expected. Quite a number of our friends from the surrounding country have visited our office and congratulated us upon the reappearance of the Gazette. Mr. Jas. Rogers, whose exploits we gave an account of in our last issue, pleaded guilty before Justice Bailey yesterday to the charge of battery and was fined thirty dollars. The Horton House, in San Diego, has changed hands. Mr. Horton, the owner of the building, will resume control, vice Craigue and Gordon. Justice Bailey had all the work he could well attend to yesterday, and his office doors were besieged all day by a crowd anxious for startling developments. The county delinquent tax list, published by the Republican, is a huge affair, occupying 25 columns of that paper. Any person desiring to see the delinquent list can be accommodated at this office. A wagon was turned over in the ditch on Lemon Street, Thursday evening, by coming in contact with a signal post. The occupants of the wagon were thrown out, but not injured. The San Francisco Chronicle of Thursday has the following item: The barkentine Ella bound from Anaheim to Freeport, is out thirty-two days. Her owners are anxiously looking for her arrival at Freeport. The first number of the Weekly Gazette published since the fire, is issued this morning. We have a number of extra copies stamped and in wrappers ready for mailing, which can be had at this office. Three for twenty-five cents. As two young ladies were crossing a vineyard last Thursday, a shot was fired from the street, and the ball passed close to their heads. It is not at all probable that the shot was fired with malicious intent, but it is certain that the shootist was extremely careless. Mr. Daggard, a new comer, has purchased the twenty-acre farm of F. A. Gates which has for some time been advertised for sale in the Gazette. Mr. Gates intends to buy another and larger tract of land somewhere in this vicinity. Last evening's Express says: Dr. William N. Hardin has recorded his certificate in the office of the County Clerk. He holds two diplomas, one from the New York Medical College, dated March 4th, 1849, and another from Jefferson Medical College, Pennsylvania, dated March 4th, 1856. We understand that Mr. Eli Taylor, living a few miles from this place, on the Telegraph road, has slaughtered about fifteen hundred hogs the past Fall and up to the present time. The killing has been for account of a Los Angeles firm, and is to be continued as long as the season lasts. Downey Courier.

A large number of the citizens of the town met together last night to discuss ways and means of avoiding such calamities as those with which our town has been threatened during the last few weeks. Resolutions were passed which will make it decidedly unhealthy for any disorderly individuals or loafers in our midst. An efficient night watch will be provided, and our families and citizens generally may rest assured that no disturbances of any kind will be suffered. To those who prefer to pass their time in guzzling whisky, setting fire to houses, getting into rooms and making disturbances, we will offer the information that they will find Anaheim a remarkably poor place for their operations. In reply to a street rumor to the effect that the late Mrs. A. A. Wilson, who died recently of small-pox, had contracted the disease from Dr. Wise, who, it was said, attended her professionally during her confinement, the Doctor publishes a card denying the charge. He argues elaborately to prove that he could not have communicated the disease to her because of the precautions he invariably took in the way of baths, changing clothes, etc., after having visited a small-pox patient. But probably the most convincing part of his defense is where he states that he not only did not attend Mrs. Wilson, but he has not seen nor been near her for the past three years. [FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.] Fifty-five cases of small pox were reported at Los Angeles yesterday morning. E. H. Kane died at the County Hospital on Friday. Cause—tumor on the head. Col. Dunkelberger has been confirmed as Postmaster of Los Angeles. On next Monday the Chinese commence the celebration of their new year. Governor Irwin has appointed Louis Ran a Notary Public to reside in Los Angeles, vice Rothschild, resigned. Charles A.

Goldstein, the Probate Judge compromised the matter by removing them both. Mr. R. Luedke is no longer connected with the Anaheim Wine Growers' Association, as will be seen by the dissolution notice published this morning. The Anaheim Gazette, recently burned out, has reappeared with better type and better presswork evidenced on its face.—Sac. Record Union. Mr. Kellogg, who is an enthusiastic dog-fancier, and who takes pride in the possession of trained and valuable canines, has again lost a fine setter, for which he offers a reward. as certain the ownership of said bricks and take steps to have them removed. A communication from R. Bohn was received and referred to Finance Committee, to report at the next meeting. The meeting then adjourned to meet on Friday next at 2 o'clock, P.M. BY TELEGRAPH. Frozen to Death. VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 2. Mr. Hosk, a prominent lawyer of Carriboo, was frozen to death recently from exposure while intoxicated. No small-pox here now. Diphtheria in Oregon. PORTLAND, Ogn., Feb. 2. Diphtheria has assumed almost an epidemic form in Salem and Allany, and is carrying off a large number of children. In both places meetings are being held by physicians, and it has been determined to temporarily suspend all schools, and also discontinue the custom of taking the bodies of persons dying of the contagion into churches prior to hurial. Morrissey on that Million. NEW YORK, Feb. 2. The Sun's Albany special says that in a conversation to-day John Morrissey said that the testimony of Colonel Pickett, relative to the conversation had with him about the purchase of the Louisiana Returning Board, was true, and added that there had not been a day since the week after the election when the vote of Louisiana could not have been secured for Tilden by the payment of money to Wells. What Walls wanted was ready money instead of a promise to make good his $450,000 cotton claim, and the position of Inspector Levies at New Orleans, which had been promised him by the other side. Killed his Mother. LOUISVILLE, Feb. 2. Timothy McCarthey, a lad nineteen years of age, killed his mother, aged sixty-five; this afternoon, with a hatchet. No cause. The boy is probably insane. Ice in the Mississippi. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2. The ice is moving irregularly down the river, but no gorse has yet occurred, and disaster to boats is hardly probable. A Coroner's Crotchet—Female Preacher Deposed. NEW YORK, Feb. 1. expect any display of fastidiousness from the author of a brutal libel on President Grant. If only General Butler had been retained by Tilden, the array of legal talent on the Democratic side would have been thoroughly representative of the methods and moods of the party. The Times has editorials designed to keep watch over the Texas Pacific Railroad lobby, who will perhaps attempt to rush the bill through near the close of the session, and also arguing that it is impossible to go behind the Presidential returns of a State as furnished to the President of the Senate. The Sun continues to ridicule the Electoral Commission, and speaks of it as the lawsuit. It concludes its article thus: The two Houses of Congress, and especially the managers of this small business, have lost regard by shutting the doors of the Capital in the face of the people, and by drawing a broad line between them and the jobbers and lobbyists who thronged the galleries with their wives, etc., and shut out the honest voters. What makes the malder worse, is a report from Washington that tickets were openly offered for sale at the hotels for large prices. If this be true, then the responsibility of speculation lies at the doors of Congress; for members only had cards to dispose of. Precautionary Measures. LONDON, Feb. 3. All sales of cattle, sheep or goats is prohibited except when specially licensed by the Privy Council, or when animals for sale have been on the premises and have been free from disease for a month previous to the sale. The animals sold must be killed within ten days after the sale. Batch of Foreign News. LONDON, Feb. 3. A dispatch from Rustchuck says that the Turks are sending considerable reinforcements to Widdlen and Shunnia. An exemption tax from 10 to 20 piastros is levied in Bulgaria; on every masculine overs 15 year of age. PARIS, Feb. 3. Leon Joseph Gatayes, the musician and critic, died yesterday, aged 71. BERLIN, Feb. 3. The public prosecutor has instituted proceedings against the son of Count Von Arnim; on account of offensive newspaper articles. A Stamboul newspaper asserts that the Prince of Montenegro has telegraphed that it is impossible to entertain direct negotiations for peace; as his subjects would detrone him if he did. Gortschakoff's Circular. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5. Mr. Kellogg, who is an enthusiastic dog-fancier, and who takes pride in the possession of trained and valuable canines, has again lost a fine setter, for which he offers a reward. The shipments from the depot this morning were as follows: 14 boxes oranges; 1 gasoline tank; 8 boxes oranges; 5 skis potatoes; 1 sack coffee; 14 dressed sheep; 3 pkgs mdse; 1 box eggs; 2 boxes butter. Marshal Wartenburg will to-day commence collecting licenses from all owners of saloons, billiard tables, bowling alleys, etc. The dog license is also due, and unless a tag is procured, your purp may soon be sleeping the sleep that knows no waking. We are glad to record the re-appearance of our sprightly Anaheim contemporary, the Gazette, which has been temporarily suspended owing to the fire which destroyed its office recently. The paper comes forth brighter and better than ever. Success to it.—San Diego Union. A. A. Wilson, of Los Angeles, has been peculiarly unfortunate of late. First he was stricken with blindness, which, as it prevented him from pursuing his profession, resulted in financial embarrassment; second, his wife was taken sick with consumption, and but a week or so ago she died of small-pox, a few days after having given birth to a child. And now Mr. Wilson himself is in the Pest House, delirious with small-pox. As will be seen by the call published in another column, a meeting of the Fire Company is called for Wednesday evening at the Planters' Hotel. It is to be hoped that the attendance will be sufficiently large to warrant taking immediate steps toward forming an organization on a solid basis—not a dress parade company, but one that will submit to discipline and training, so that when their services are required, they will be able to respond promptly and with effect. "The fire-born Anaheim Gazette" is what the Santa Barbara Press calls us in one item, and in another paragraph of the same paper we find the following generous words: The Anaheim Gazette bravely rose from its ashes last Tuesday, "renewed, regenerated and disenthralled," so to speak, and clothed in an entire new dress of handsome type. The bright paper is better than ever now. We give Godspeed to Messrs. Melrese and Athearn. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: J B Stone, 14 boxes apples; C Mossman, 1 box sausages; A Langenberger, 1 box plants; Wong Young, 1 sack beans; M Cundiff, 1 sowing machine, L Killed his Mother. LOUVERVILLE, Feb. 2. Timothy McCartney, a lad nineteen years of age, killed his mother, aged sixty-five; this afternoon, with a hatchet. No cause. The boy is probably insane. Ice in the Mississippi. St. Louis, Feb. 2. The ice is moving irregularly down the river, but no gorge has yet occurred, and disaster to boats is hardly probable. A Coroner's Crotchet—Female Preacher Deposed. NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Since January 1st, suicides and other items important to the press have been suppressed at the Cornerer's office. Several private inquests have been held and the papers have not appeared on the files in the office. The Deputy Coroner told the reporter that in his opinion it was subversive of public morals to have the newspapers publish suicides. According to this policy the suicide of Charles S. Clark, at Crook's Hotel was given as a sudden death. By a vote of 45 to 42, it was resolved that the First Universalist Church, in Bergen, should hereafter have a male pastor, deposing Phebe A. Hanaford. Her friends will probably leave the church and hold services in a hall. Burned to Death. LA CROSSE, Wis., Feb. 2. Julia Stockwell, a young woman confined in jail, set fire to her clothes with coal, taken from the stove, and was soon burned to death. Investigating Election Frauds. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors continued their investigation of the alleged election frauds last night. The day clerk of the Cozo House corroborated the previous testimony of the night clerk, as to the certificates being issued to persons as living in the House, who had never been lodgers. One witness was found to whom two certificates had been mailed, but he had only voted on one of them. Mr. Hayes counsel for the Democrats, called attention to the loose manner of conducting registration, and he wanted a postponement of the investigation to get witnesses. He stated that 27,000 voted at the last election who never resided here for an instant, and he knew where there was such a list. Colonel Barnes, the Republican counsel, wanted to cross-examine the gentleman, but Mr. Hayes insisted that he was not a witness and that the list was in the possession of Mr. Hickox, the banker. Lieu Lands Bill Passed—Harbor Appropriation. WASHINGTON, February 3. The bill confirming the title to California school indemnity selections was passed by the Senate to day. It is the measure reported from the Public Lands Committee last June without any additional amendment. Booth called it up, and after clearly answering the inquiries and objections made by several members, secured its prompt passage. Page, Luttrell and Wigginton appeared before the House Committee on Appropriations to-day to advocate the insertion of appropriations for their respective districts in the annual river and harbor appropriation bill. The Committee said they had agreed to recommend an appropriation of $30,000 for Wilmington harbor, and $20,000 for Sacramento and Feather rivers, but had not taken action concerning Oakland harbor. Page urged an appropriation of $25,000 for continuing the work there. Piper, who is a memLeon Joseph Gatayes, the musician and critic, died yesterday, aged 71. PERLIY, Feb. 3. The public prosecutor has instituted proceedings against the son of Count Von Arnim, on account of offensive newspaper articles. A Stamboul newspaper asserts that the Prince of Montenegro has telegraphed that it is impossible to entertain direct negotiations for peace, as his subjects would dethrone him if he did. Gortschakoff's Circular. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5. Prince Gortschakoff's circular note, which is addressed to the Russian representatives at the court of other guaranteeing Powers, is published in the Official Gazette to-day. The note first calls to mind the fact that through Russia's initiative an understanding between the Great Powers was brought about; anthe beginning of the Eastern crises. This agreement was disturbed by the rejection of the Berlin memorandum, but was shortly afterwards restored on the basis proposed by England. The Powers at the Conference, unanimously submitted their demands to the Porte, which declined them. Prince Gortschakoff considers that Europe, by its united diplomatic action, has proved that it deeply interested in the maintenance of peace in the East, and that it is recognized to be its duty as well as its right, to cooperate for that end on behalf of the general interest. The Russian government, being guided by a desire to maintain European accord, in the new phase of the Eastern question, has before coming to any decision in the matter instructed its representatives to ascertain for certain what course the government to which they are accredited means to pursue; in view of the refusal of the Porte to accede to their unanimous wishes. Only a Question of Time. BERLIN, Feb. 4. Reports of the organization of the Landstrum are denied in official circles. The North German Gazette reverts to some German articles in the Reine les Dernes Mondez and says: "These expressions are significant in France because a renewal of the war against Germany is considered by every one to be only a question of time; and constitutes a permanent factor in all political calculations. RAIMIN DRYING—R.E. BARNES & Co., box-manufacturers, commercial yesterday upon a contract for shipping to Daysville for G.C. Briggs; grape grower; of that vicinity; twenty-three car loads of light lumber; eight or ten inches wide and three feet long; dressed upon oneside, which is to be used in the formation of trays open which to dry rains. The twenty-three car loads will call for the use of 275,000 feet of lumber.—Sucramento paper. Several newspaper men, who had expressed an intention to reform and attend church, met in the back extension of a popular "sample room" last Sunday, and accounted for their presence there by the fact thatplaces of worship were not properly equipped with safeguards against fire. The Common Council cannot move in this matter too promptly.—Brooklyn Argus. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: J B Stone, 14 boxes apples; C Mossman, 1 box sausages; A Langenburger, 1 box plants; Wong Young, 1 sack beans; M Cundiff, 1 sewing machine, L Carey and Son, 1 butter box; Kearney, 2 butter boxes; N Bundy, 6 pkgs mdse; J Bennett, 2 pkgs trees: Ah Sam, 12 boxes apples; A Wayman, 42 joints well pipe; John Gregg, 16 pkgs mdse; CB Lehman, 28 pkgs trees; J Huntington, 1 pkg trees; Con Howe, 1 box mdse. The Star says: "We understand that some of our property holders who were delinquent on the County tax list will now refuse to pay, as the delinquent tax list was not published according to law. The requirements of the law are that the delinquent list shall be published on Feb. 1, 8 and 15. But the paper that had it did not publish it until Feb. 2d. Its issue is at 5 p.m. generally, but it had a legal margin until 12 o'clock, midnight, on Feb. 1. But the paper was not put to press until 5 o'clock on the morning of the 2d. Therefore, the list was not published according to law." Meeting of Town Trustees. The meeting of the Town Trustees was held yesterday. The ordinances were re-read and adopted, with the provision that they should take effect on the 10th day of February, 1877. The Committee on Public Improvements were instructed to prepare for the consideration of the next meeting, an ordinance regulating the construction of wooden buildings inside of certain limits; also, to take charge of and fix up the fire alarm bell over the bank building, provided that the fire apparatus be turned over to the town. The communication of W. Fesenfelt, complaining of a certain pile of bricks on his land between 1st South and Palm Streets, was received and the Clerk was ordered to Several newspaper men, who had expressed an intention to reform and attend church, met in the back extension of a popular "sample room" last Sunday, and accounted for their presence there by the fact that places of worship were not properly equipped with safeguards against fire. The Common Council cannot move in this matter too promptly. Extracts from New York Journals, New York, Feb. 3. From the Tribune: Louisiana must be a lonesome place for a man who is not a versatile rascal. There it nothing mean about Anderson. When the eminent member of the Louisiana Returning Board was approached by a Democratic Senator on the subject of selling out the State, and was twice tempted with $200,000 to foreswear himself and commit perjury, he did not resent the imputation on his character, but merely requested Dr. Robeson not to talk so any more if he wished to retain his friendship. Some men will get mad right away if you call them swindlers, but Anderson does not flare up without giving ample notice. As the bribe does not seem to have been offered the third time we presume Anderson and Robeson are still the best of friends. It is surprising the amount and variety of American manufactures that are beginning to go Chile and other West Coast regions by way of Panama. The Star of that city comments on the growth of American commerce with the Pacific country, and says that every day it is growing more apparent than no other country can any longer excel the great Republic. A movement is said to have been set on foot here to organize a company for the encouragement of trade between this city and Brazil. It is intended to establish a direct line of steamers to that country, and the company is to be known as the Amazon Trading Company. The Times says that if Charles O'Connor retain any of his old scorn for professional schemers and pettifoggers, he must feel heartily ashamed of the company in which he finds himself, though it may be too much to A.

A long and varied experience has taught us just what is wanted to fill the wants of our customers, and we are proud to say that a personal superintendance of the selection of presses and material of all kinds enables us to guarantee that all work entrusted to us will be done in a manner that will equal anything obtainable out of San Francisco. We have given most careful attention to the selection of a large and varied stock of first-class designs in type. We have procured presses of the very best makers, and all our material is in keeping with the machinery. During our visit to the city we inspected the modus operandi in the best job offices there, and thoroughly posted ourselves in all the intricacies of the art. We are confident that our patrons will find us up to the times in every branch of our business, and that in the new and superior class of work we are now enabled to turn out, they will derive the benefit of our loss. The great advantages of being able to purchase an office perfect in every part will be realized by our customers. If the latest and most improved machinery, the best and most elegant type, the finest materials, combined with the most careful personal supervision of work by experienced printers, can give satisfaction, our patrons may confidently anticipate it since that is what we offer to them. Everything in our office has been purchased by Mr. Melrose, personally, after careful investigation of the various designs in machinery and type as seen in different offices in actual use. No better way of judging of the merits of an outfit could be found than inspecting the work similar ones turn out.
