Mansfield arrived from Los Angeles on the train last evening. —H. C. Wiley, a nimrod of great repute, and G. H. Kellogg, killed 153 birds during a hunt on Monday. —To-day being Ash Wednesday, the first day in Lent, there will be a morning service in St. Michael's Church at 11 o'clock. —a key of very nice beer was brought to our office on Monday from the brewery of Mr. T. P. Hinde. We tender our hearty thanks to the donor. —Mr. French, agent of the San Joaquin ranch, was in town yesterday. He offers some very fine grazing land to rent. The advertisement can be found in another column. —Supervisor Allen made us a brief call last night. He was on his way to his cattle ranch, the Laguna, Lower California, where he has a large number of fine beef cattle, which he intends sending up for the market. —In the proceedings of the Procurate Court, on Monday, we find the following: —Estate of Robt Ashcroft, deceased —Continued until the 24th estate of Jacob Koller, deceased —Orritered that C. Lorenz be released as surety on bond of executor. —Our Marshal made a raid upon the Celestials yesterday and marched them up to the Recorder's office. Three of them were fined $10 each for celebrating the New Year with fire works; and two contributed $5 each for knowledge and belief, violated any or either of the laws of the land, under which you live, move and have your being? Ans. —No sirce. Q. Are you a man of sober and regular habits? The answer to this question was not very promptly given. The candidate admitted that he took a little spirits for the stomach's take, but indignantly repelled the insinuation that he was given to drinkiness. He admitted that he had been known to stagger, but that this suspicious circumstance was accounted for by the fact that his lungs were affected—a statement which was corroborated by the physician of the order, who was in attendance. Q. Have you seriously and soberly reflected upon the responsible position you are now about to assume, and the oath you are expected to take in consequence? Ans. —Yeasir. Q. Will you obey the orders of your superiors in office at all times, even at the peril of your life, in defence of this great Republic in general, and this town is particular? Ans. —Certingly. The Deputy M. M. then continued: Being satisfied of your sincerity, I will now proceed to administer the iron-clad oath of office. You will please repeat after me: —I, D. R. Rogers, do honestly, truly and sincerely promise and swear that I will punctually and faithfully perform the duties appertaining to the high and important office of canine apprehender, vulgarly termed by the uninitiated, dogcatcher. That I will be vigilant and firm, sincere and true, yet not cruel. That in pursuance of my duties I will show partiality neither to dog nor owner no matter what the former's position or condition in life might have been. Furthermore I honestly promise that in the discharge of my duties I will not permit myself to discriminate, as far as the sex of the canine race is concerned, but will fearlessly and relentlessly apprehend all tagless dogs, be they male or female. To all this and much more, I cheerfully, sincerely, and proudly promise and swear, with a fixed, steadfast and honorable desire to perform the same. Mr. Rogers took the oath with no more serious consequences than a frequent tripping over some of the big words. The Deputy M. M. having been handled a richly chased and In the proceedings of the Procurate Court, on Monday, we find the following:—Estate of Robt Ashcroft, deceased—Continued until the 24th; estate of Jacob Keller, deceased—Ordered that C. Lorenz be released as surety on bond of executor. Our Marshal made a raid upon the Celestials yesterday and marched them up to the Recorder's office. Three of them were fined $10 each for celebrating the New Year with fire works; and two contributed $5 each for the privilege of keeping nuisances about their residence. Deputy Sheriff Rowan proved himself a skillful auctioneer, yesterday. We regret to state that he received an ugly cut on one of his fingers, while examining some of the machinery of our office. It was, however, carefully bandaged, and will probably be all right in a day or two. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: Four sacks barley, 11 boxes trees, 69 cypress trees; ten sacks castor heans; two cases strained honey; 5 beer kegs; 2 kegs wine, 7 pkgs wind mill; 1 bottle rope; 1 box soda bottles; 1 tripod; 1 box instruments; 1 box mde. The auction sale of the lots on the Burkle vineyard, Centre street, was well attended yesterday. The following are the numbers of the lots sold, the names of the purchasers and the prices paid: Lots 1 and 2 to S. F. Humphroys, $530; lots 4, 5, 6 and 10 to H. Knapke, $510; lots 3 and 8 to T. Boege, $370; lots 7 and 9 to M. L. Wicks, $105. Rogers was on the war path yesterday and the dogs without tags suffered from his vigilance. Many a sleek, well-fed cur howled with indignation at being locked up at the pound. The man with the star turns a deaf ear alike to the whining of the pups and the contracies of their masters. The majesty of the law must be preserved. As this is St. Valentine's Day, it affords us an opportunity of quoting the following from Good Works: Though valentines are growing prettier and more elaborate every year, there is not the least romance about the way they are got up. It is no fairy's handiwork. A dreamy artist may have furnished that design, but a lithographer with inky fingers printed the picture on it, a die-cutter with doves rolled up made a pattern in steel for the lacework on the edge, and a dingy-looking pressman stamped the pattern around the picture. Another hard-handed workman rubbed the back with sand-paper, until the holes were produced that give it the appearance of lace, and a row of girls at a long table put on the colors with stencils, gummed on the hearts, darts, capids, flowers, etc., tied up the bows and soved on the fringes. To all these working people it is a matter merely of daily bread. The sentiment about a valentine does not commence until it has been sold and the name of the fair recipient written on it by her admirer. I honestly promise that in the discharge of my duties I will not permit myself to discriminate, as far as the sex of the canine race is concerned, but will fearlessly and relentlessly apprehend all tagless dogs, be they male or female. To all this and much more, I cheerfully, sincerely, and proudly promise and swear, with a fixed, steadfast and honorable desire to perform the same. Mr. Rogers took the oath with no more serious consequences than a frequent tripping over some of the big words. The Deputy M. M. having been halled a richly chased and ornamented star by the Grand O. M. of the order further addressed the candidate. Mr. Rogers returned his thanks in a short but grateful bow. As this ended the public proceedings, the H. M. M. requested all those who had not at some time or other been initiated, to retire. As this honor had never been conferred upon our reporter, we are compelled to announce our inability to give an account of the subsequent proceedings, which we are assured were interesting and sublime. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] Judge Nichols of Los Angeles is a candidate for appointment as Register of the Land Office for this district. The Express says that there are seven cases of small pox now in the pest house, six of whom are convalescent. We call attention to the advertisement of Mr. George Turner: The young people will no doubt be glad to hear that the dancing lessons are to be continued. We were pleased to see Mr. W. R. Olden on the street yesterday. His health is improving and we hope soon to see him about again, well and hearty. The Commissioners appointed to close the affairs of the City of Anaheim have finished their labors and the property will probably be sold to the Town Tristees on Friday next. The case of Halberstadt vs. Mallet, a suit for the recovery of a lumber bill, was argued before Justice Clark yesterday and submitted. The justice took the case under advisement. The Planters' Hotel has been crowded with guests for the past week. We are glad to see that Mr. Fincher is prospering, and that the travel to this section is increasing. Mr. D. K. Williams is aspiring to the office of roadmaster, and has a petition in circulation, which is receiving numerous signatures. The regular quarterly teachers' examination will take place in Good Templars' Hall, Los Angeles, commencing on Wednesday March 7th and concluding on Friday March [rather times in this county is ourselves, so we told me eat.

Items from the Wednesday:—The neglected to say last ashes, with a newer continues its "best prising local paper left Santa Monica a A Touching Ceremony. As we stated yesterday, a conclave was held on Monday evening to witness the ceremony of conferring upon the Dog Catcher the badge of office, and initiating him into the mysterious and sublime order of canine apprehenders. The attendance was large, and we need not add, select. The Inside Guardian having been ordered by the High Mucky Muck to close the doors, the candidate was placed in the southwest by a little south corner of the room. The H. M. M. then addressed him in language abounding in metaphor and eloquence, after which the Deputy Mucky Muck thus spake: Mr. Rookes—Before I proceed to confer the degree of Marshal upon you, it is but fair for me to state that certain ceremonies are necessary, which to you may appear trifling and of little moment, but which have their own significance, and which, furthermore, have been always submitted to by those who have filled the high and important office to which you now aspire. No official position in our land is free from danger, and only men of known courage can aspire to even the most menial of them all. The position of Marshal is by no means a trivial one, and your well known courage has alone entitled you to this high honor. If you are still willing to proceed, you will reply in a loud and audible tone of voice to the following questions: Question—Are you an American citizen, free-born and good and true? To which the candidate answered—I yam. Q. Are you of lawful age? Ans. —I yam. Q. Have you ever, to the best of your The justice took the case under advisement. —The Planters' Hotel has been crowded with guests for the past week. We are glad to see that Mr. Fischer is prospering, and that the travel to this section is increasing. —Mr. D. K. Williams is aspiring to the office of roadmaster, and has a petition in circulation, which is receiving numerous signatures. —The regular quarterly teachers' examination will take place in Good Templars' Hall, Los Angeles, commencing on Wednesday, March 7th and concluding on Friday, March 9th. —and now the New York Sun copies our item about the tender regard shown by a flock of geese for a wounded companion, and suggestively gives it the head of "A California Wild Goose Story." Our dog-catcher has taken up fourteen tagless dogs. His earnings, since the ordinance went into force are $350, which he intends applying toward the erection of a six story brick building on the burnt district. The thieves who stole Mr. Medlin's two horses the other night, left in lieu two horses, saddles, bridles and other equipments. It is needless to state, however, the horses left are by no means as valuable as those stolen. A poep at the town treasury, yesterday, revealed the fact that one hundred and thirty-eight dollars has been received for licenses and fines up to date. Of this amount thirty-five dollars were for dog licenses. Gen. Mansfield, of Los Angeles, and Mr. Thompson, of Chicago, made a tour among our vineyards and orchards. They were surprised with the remarkable fertility of our soil and were convinced that Anaheim can raise as fine oranges, and manufacture as fine wines as any locality in the State. If our friends want any job printing done, we hope they will favor us with their orders. We have the very latest styles in types, borders, etc., and our assortment of stationery is large and of the best quality. Cards, bill-heads, letter-heads, envelopes, circulars and hand-bills printed plain or in colors, and at as low rates as it can possibly be done for. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 5 boxes grape cutting, 6 boxes lemons, 2 bille polls, 3 boxes butter, 181 sacks of potatoes, 3 dry hides, 1 box green fruit. A gentleman who has been paying some attention to local statistics tells us that there are eighty-one practicing lawyers in the city, and over one hundred in the city and county together. In the county there are eighty physicians in practice.—Herald. An egg having a curious formation of shell closely resembling the letters T D, was brought into our office last night. It came from Mr. Bush's place at Santa Ana, and the letters are said to be the initial letters of his wife's and his own name. A meeting of the citizens of Garden Grove School District was held on Monday evening at the school house. The object of the meeting was to make a selection of a teacher and to discuss matters of general interest to the district. Mr. Jasper acted as Chairman of the meeting. A hearty invitation was extended to the Gazette reporter and a warm feeling expressed toward the paper. As it was dark when we arrived we were unable to make note of the rapid improvements going on in that section. We understood that post-office facilities will soon be furnished and that a new store is in process of erection. We shall soon give Garden Grove a daylight visit, and will then be better able to report the progress which has been made. We had just finished eating our dinner yesterday—fortunate for us that we had finished—when a young man came to the door and asked for something to eat—said he was hungry. We have passed through some rough times in this country, and know how it is ourselves, so we told him to come in and eat. He came in and he ate—ye gods! he ate! The contents of the dishes vanished like the grey mists before the morning sun. We asked him if he would have some wine; he said he would, and he drank all there was. He said he came from Kansas. It is possible he had not eaten anything since he let Kansas. He got outside of that dinner arrangement in about twenty minutes, looked at the empty plate and sighed for more to conquer. We like that fellow from Kansas; he is a good eater anyhow. If he comes within a mile of our house again, about MEETING OF WINE GROWERS An Important Address to the Pacific Coast Delegation. Through the courtesy of Charles A. Gardner, of the St. Helena Star, we have been favored with an advance proof sheet, containing the minutes of a very important meeting. It will prove interesting reading to our wine-growers: The Vineultural Society of St. Helena and vicinity held its regular monthly meeting Saturday, 10th inst.; President Charles Krug in the chair, Chas A. Gardner Secretary, pro tem; present, Messrs H. W. Crabb, J. Lewelling, John York, D. O. Hunt, E. Heyman, J. W. Sawward, H. M. Allen, R. A. Haskin, Cina, Wheeler and others. A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS. Dr. Crane, as chairman of a committee for that purpose, read a letter he had addressed to Senator Booth and others of the Pacific Coast delegation, now in Congress, concerning the brandy bill now pending before the Senate, as follows: "To the Pacific Coast Delegation in Congress: GENTLEMEN:—The Committee appointed by the Vineultural Society of this district to memorialize Congress, through our immediate representatives in that honorable body, respectfully represent: 1. That while they are aware that this is not a propitious time to appeal to the law-making power in behalf of the industrial interests of the country, they deeply regret that their necessities compel them to do so, notwithstanding. 2. And they beg leave to say—with all due deference to the superior wisdom of those to whom they intrusted the guardianship of their interests in the councils of the nation—that they believe that those gentlemen are but imperfectly informed in relation to the subject-matter of this petition; otherwise, a question so vital in a politico-economic point of view to the welfare of the Pacific Coast would have been acted upon by both branches of our national legislature at an earlier period. 3. This committee is instructed by the Society which it represents to request Senator Booth and Representative Luttrell to lay before Congress the essential facts recently sent to the California delegation through them, pertaining to the vine-growing business of our State. 4. Those facts attest that our present revenue system virtually discriminates against the interest of the wine growers of the United States, and in favor of the importer of wines and brandies, and that a more liberal policy on the part of our Government toward a new and but partially developed industry, at the present time, would not only save a large and deserving portion of citizens from bankruptcy and ruin, but would add largely to the public revenues." Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Your subscribers in this vicinity were agreeably surprised Saturday. It was feared that under the new mail arrangement the Gazette would not reach us until Saturday night. Your accommodating disposition shown in mailing the papers on Friday evening, is warmly appreciated. Our weather continues warm—warmer than is desirable, when fruit prospects are considered. We have seen leaves on grape vines, and the buds on fruit trees are swolling. Mr. Strong has received Japan Persimmon trees. This fruit is as large as the oranges of a bright vermilion color, and is the favorite fruit of Japan, not only of the natives but of the foreigners also. It is valued green as table fruit, and when dried or preserved is unexcelled. The trees are being introduced on this coast by Rev. H. Leomis who, after being for years located at Yokohama as a missionary, returns to this State to recruit his health. The tree is very ornamental, hardly as the pear, and a very heavy bearer. The fruit is solid and can be shipped east. The season is from October to January; when fine fruits are scarce and command high prices. We trust it will be largely introduced. Several parties here are about to set out Zante current cuttings. This is the black dried currant used so largely in cooking, and it has succeeded well wherever listed in this State. Though called "currant" it is a small grape, the Black Corinth, and needs no more care than other vines. The berries being small it is especially adapted to sections where there is a tendency with the larger grapes to crack or mildew. It is also much easier and cheaper to dry and produce than rains; and those dried in the Santa Clara Valley have brought 13 to 15 cents per pound, and were admitted to be superior to the imported article. We would like to see them included in every vineyard here, and believe the result would be most satisfactory. The cuttings, if ordered immediately, can be secured through Mr. Strong. We notice in a recent copy of the Rural Press some valuable notes regarding the Blue Gum for fuel. As some of your readers do not take that paper, we will quote from it: "Five Blue Gum trees, eight years old, will make, when cut into stove length, one cord of wood. He has now planted around his farm a double row, consisting of 800 Blue Gum trees. After the eighth year he intends to cut 100 trees, which will give him twenty cords of wood. The places from where these trees were taken will be at once reset with 100 young trees. The following year the next 100 can be cut and the ground again be replanted, and so on for eight years. Then he again commences at the beginning which by this time will be eight years old, thus keeping himself after the eighth year in an "Bion" sends us the following items from Santa Ana: Williams, the shooter of Choynski, has been bound over to appear before the Grand Jury, in the sum of $5,000. A great many strangers are now visiting Santa Ana with a view of entering into business. Some parties from Chicago are here and intend to enter into the tin and hardware line. The item in last week's Gazette in regard to Mr. Bundy, should have read, "M.J.' instead of 'H.S.' Bundy; and he sells house finishing goods, instead of furnishing." Mr. Anderson, of San Francisco, is prospecting in Santa Ana, with a view of establishing a first-class drug store. We had the pleasure of listening to a discourse by the Rev. Mr. Featherstone, some time ago. You must not think he is a feathweight from his name because he can expand the Bible in as interesting a manner as any of the average preachers that happen to preach in Santa Ana. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] Over three hundred valentines were delivered at the Anaheim Post-office on Wednesday. A boot black made his appearance on the streets yesterday. We can now assume the dignity befitting an organized town, and have our boots blacked. The shipments from the depot this morning were: 20 pipas wine, 1 box trees, 51 cypress trees, 1 box butter, 46 sks corn. In the case of Halberstadt & Co. vs. Mallet, Justice Clark delivered his decision on the denurre, sustaining the same, and granting plaintiffs two days to amend their complaint. The effects of one of our most prominent attorneys were disposed of at Sheriff's sale yesterday. Among the rest a blooded horse, said to be worth four or five hundred dollars, was knocked down at $140. When lawyers thus come to grief, it must be a favorable sign that the millennium is approaching—Herald. Items from the Santa Monica Outlook of Wednesday: The Anaheim Gazette, we neglected to say last week, has risen from the ashes, with a newer, brighter appearance, and continues its "best licks" as a good, entertaining local paper... Mr. Tappeiner, who left Santa Monica a short time since en 3. This committee is instructed by the Society which it represents to request Senator Booth and Representative Luttrell to lay before Congress the essential facts recently sent to the California delegation through them, pertaining to the vine-growing business of our State. 4. Those facts attest that our present revenue system virtually discriminates against the interest of the wine growers of the United States, and in favor of the importer of wines and brandies, and that a more liberal policy on the part of our Government toward a new and but partially developed industry, at the present time, would not only save a large and deserving portion of citizens from bankruptcy and ruin, but would add largely to the public revenues. 5. While we concede that the tariff imposed on the productions of foreign vineyards, for revenue purposes, incidentally protects us to a certain extent, we know that prohibition is not equal to the difference of cost of production in the two countries, and we feel the hardship of being compelled to pay annually an inordinate revenue duty, and on account of the high rate of interest here, to sell our brands at ruminous prices and before their qualities are sufficiently developed by age to give them reputation; while the European producer can keep his in our warehouses, ready for sale, till he can find a good market, without paying duty in advance. 6. We do not ask for the fostering care of Government in the shape of bounties and exemption from taxation, such as were formerly awarded to originators of new industrial enterprises which saved us from exporting money for foreign labor, but we do ask most earnestly, though respectfully, that Congress will remove those disabilities that have now enriching out our energies and annihilating the millions of capital that have been invested in a new and most important department of agriculture in our country. 7. And finally, it was resolved by the Society that they know the views herein expressed are in accordance with the feelings and wishes of the vinegrowers generally of California, and that if those who have our interests in charge in Washington find it impossible from the lateness of the season or other causes, to get laws enacted for our relief, that we pray them to appeal to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and learn of him whether he could not consistently with his public duty, instruct his agents on this coast to delay the collection of the brandy duty for one year after the first of May next. Trusting for the interests of the wine-growers of California and the public welfare, that this may meet your approbation and early attention, we are, gentlemen, Most Respectfully Yours, Chas. Krugo, President, Chas. A. Gardner, Sec., pro tom, G. B. Chane, Ch'n of Corn." On motion, the same was unanimously adopted, and a request made that the same be published in the St. Helena Star, Napa Reporter and Register, Santa Rosa Times and Democrat, San Jose Mercury, and all other papers interested in the wine business generally throughout the State; also, that such journals be requested to kindly send a copy of their respective issues to each of the Pacific Coast delegation in Congress. Post Office Letter List. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: Geo. A. Armstrong, A. C. Butler, D. Bomke, N. S. Hofar, Mrs. E. Handsome, W. E. Martin, John Kneipe, Mrs. W. Potter, Mrs. A. E. Parker, G. G. Richards, M. Bustamente, We notice in a recent copy of the Arizona Press some valuable notes regarding Blue Gum for fuel. As some of your readers do not take that paper, we will quote from it: "Five Blue Gum trees, eight years old will make when cut into stovel length, one card of wood. He has now planted around his farm a double row, consisting of 800 Blue Gum trees. After the eighth year he intends to cut 100 trees, which will give him twenty cords of wood. The places from where these trees were taken will be at once reset with 100 young trees. The following year the next 100 can be cut and the ground again be replanted, and so on for eight years. Then he again commences at the beginning which by this time will be eight years old, thus keeping himself, after the eighth year, in an abundant supply of fuel for all time to come." To us as a local community, this fuel question is an important one. The principle carried out by the above plan is a good one; but perhaps planting the trees nearer together in the outset, and thinning out as they begin to interfere with each other, would be a better one. This would supply a large amount of wood after the third year. Messrs. Crowther & Eccles and Goldsworthy Bros have been going quite extensively into bacon curing, fitting up convenient houses for curing and smoking it and turning out a prime article. This business promises to become one of our leading and most profitable industries. Mr. Crowther says that if it is enough of a success to warrant him in so doing he shall ere another season, erect the building and start an extensive establishment here. Thus far he is fully satisfied with the season's work. He has the bacon for sale in your town at San Francisco prices, but states the merchants there fail to encourage home industry. Rev. S. B. King preached again last Sabath; the session was a good one and the house was well filled. He intended to occupy the palpit regularly hereafter having rapidly regained his last strength. There will be a service in the Methodist Church next Sabath. The Choral Union meets in the halftuesday eye at 7 o'clock. Officers will be elected and other business be transacted. A general invitation is extended to all lovers of music to join the society. Mr. A. G. Robb arrived here Saturday evening, looking as though the severe weather East had not hurt him any; he goes on to Arizona in a few weeks to look after some mining interests. Messrs. Ashuhurst and Frazier are with him at Occidental. Rev. S. B. King has moved his house a few reals west of the old site. Mr. G. S. Yates has put up a stable on his ranch. McCoy and Taylor are boring a well for Frank Rogers.Caldwell and Chase will commence boring another well on Yates' place; for Mr.Williams this week. Mr J. A. McFadden has just finished a new set of well tools, having placed his other set in charge of Mr.George Crittenden, who is working them.Mr.Freeman, of San Diego, has rented Mr.W.Kell's house. There is a case of varioloid on the mesa five miles south of here It was imported from Los Angeles Dr.A.J.Howe who is attending the case reports the patient Mr.Cadwell as doing well Vaccinating is quite fashionable now and our physicians are kept quite busy in attending to this branch of their profession. Alward Bros., & Co., have just shipped over two thousand dozen of eggs Trade seems to be good at both our stores,and our black-smiths complain that they can't have a leisure moment.Mr.Fleming is unable to make harness fast enough to meet the demand.Mr.Slaney who came here to build up a boot and shoe business found business brisk while he remained; but artesian water was an article he had not been accustomed to; and finding he needed something more Among the rest a blooded horse, said to be worth four or five hundred dollars, was knocked down at $140. When lawyers thus come to grief, it must be a favorable sign that the millennium is approaching—Herald. Items from the Santa Monica Outlook of Wednesday:—The Anaheim Gazette, we neglected to say last week, has risen from the ashes, with a newer, brighter appearance, and continues its "best licks" as a good, enterprising local paper... Mr. Tappeiner, who left Santa Monica a short time since to engage in the boot and shoe manufacture, at Santa Ana has returned. J. B. Wilson did a similar act a few weeks ago. That house that was to be moved from this place to Santa Ana, still stands. We have often been asked by our friends "When is it going to rain?" and have been obliged to confess our ignorance. We are now happy to state that we can predict rain with certainty. The mathematician of our precinct, Rogers, having learned yesterday that it was raining some four hundred miles from here, and having somewhere got the theory into his head that a storm travels at the rate of eighty-two miles per day, has made the somewhat startling calculation that it will take that rain storm just 32,800 days to reach us. His mode of figuring is certainly very unique. We think, judging from the present indications, that it will probably rain about that time. Real Estate Transfers.

It appears that he has been contesting a claim against Joseph G. Omans and the State of California for the NW I.; Sec 3, 14 R W., 3 W., and in order to obtain a decision in his favor he made an offer of $300 to Z. Chandler Secretary of the Interior. A C. McDonald, of Santa Rosa, was murdered on the night of the 13th. No clue to the assassins. Alward Bros., & Co., have just shipped over two thousand dozen of eggs. Trade seems to be good at both of our stores, and our blacksmiths complain that they can't have a leisure moment. Mr. Fleming is unable to make harness fast enough to meet the demand. Mr. Slaney, who came here to build up a boot and shoe business, found business brisk while he remained; but artesian water was an article he had not been accustomed to, and finding he needed something more stimulating, he went where it could be bad. There is a splendid opening for a sober, steady and industrious shoemaker. Mr. Yates showed us some wooden water pipe which he is making to carry water from his well to the house. He can make the pipe, furnishing all material, at the rate of five cents a foot; it is water right. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Davis lost their youngest child, Monday night, from pneumonia. The funeral was Wednesday afternoon. They have the sympathy of the entire community. The latest real estate transfers are: Thos Edwards to W Mallet, the South half of his two town lots; consideration, $250. G A Chapel to Spencer Johnson, twenty acres just North of Mr Chaffee's in Garden Grove; consideration, $1,200. M B Craig to Miss Lizzie Leffler, the North seven and a half acres of his N.W ten acres adjoining the town site; at seventy dollars per acre. Con Howe to J.H Parker, house and lot on the town site; consideration, $600. F A.Gates has purchased forty acres in the addition N.E of the Colony, at $27-50 per acre. Wednesday eve.a few old friends and neighbors assembled at Dr A.J.Howe's and proceeded to call on Mr and Mrs Con Howe.The surprise was a success and the evening very pleasantly spent. Monday evening there was a meeting of our people at the Hall to consider questions of local interest.Mr H.Stephens was chosen Chairman and Con Howe Secretary.The committee appointed New Year's day to take charge of and improve the Plaza,tendered their resignationwhich was accepted.No deal having ever been given for the Plaza.it was deemed best to take steps whereby a title can be acquired to the property.The only way this could be done is to incorporate as a town when the Trustees can receive the deed and hold the property for the benefit of the community.A committee consisting of Dr P.Howe.Jesse Davis and W.Kell were appointed to take steps toward incorporating. They will soon circulate the petition to be presented to the Board of Supervisors, and will call a meeting when they are prepared to report. Miss Lazzie Leffler has been chosen by the trustees to teach the Garden Grove school. Feb. 15th. J. T. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. H. Neil has purchased Mr. Rowlell's interest in the livery stable at this place. Mr. Beach has an orange on a four-year-old tree that measures 11x11 inches in circumference. The Orange Restaurant proves to be quite a benefactor to the traveling public, as well as its regular boarders. The proprietor, C. M. Cooper, is both genial and accommodating. Jas. Hintington presented us with as fine an orange as we wish to produce. It is off a baffled three-year-old past, stock. The day is not far distant when Orange oranges will stand the test with the best in the world. We, over here, have about given up the idea of having a new President, but still think we will have more rain. Samuel Shropsbury passed through here on Monday on his way to Spadina. He looked "phat" and hearty as ever. Evidently Sam's "honey and milk" agrees with him. Mr. Weber, while pruning vines, Wednesday, cut his left hand badly. Dr. Joslin dressed the same. D. C. Hayward has, at his place, a young Maltese Blood orange tree, so full of blossoms, that it reminds one of a choice boquet of Tuberoses. D. M. Harwood, of San Jose, has returned with his family to his home at this place. Harry Rollins, late from the East, has returned to Orange. Look out, girls, he's a bachelor. Who says almonds won't pay? J. D. Parker sold several dollars' worth off one tree only 3 years old. Mrs. and Miss Joslin are rusticizing this week at Caldwell's bee ranch. It proves a pleasant resort, and all find a genial host. Messrs. Kollogg, Wiley and Hull winged quite a number of quail in this vicinity on the first of the week. No better hunting ground can be found than that surrounding this place. Numerous boys, of various ages, congregate every evening before or about mail time, in the several stores, smoking cigarettes and learning the bad habit of loafing, to say nothing of language. It would be a good thing for the merchant, a glorious thing for the "boys" and a future blessing to the parents if they would exercise their authority and keep their offspring under the parental roof, after dark, or at least learn their whereabouts. Work on the ditch was resumed on Thursday. Messrs. Kollogg, Wiley and Hull winged quite a number of quail in this vicinity on the first of the week.

Work on the ditch was resumed on Thursday, the boss and the rest of the Chinamen having had their new year's spree. St. Valentine was not honored to any great extent at this office. D. K. Shrode, we learn, has disposed of his farm to D. C. Hayward. It is refreshing to ride over this settlement and see the various improvements in tree and vine planting, also the decided taste displayed by some as to the arrangement and neatness of grounds, but we are sorry to say that the prettiest places are owned by bachelors of various ages. This either fordells something, or else it don't; and we don't know which from whether, or is that it? February 15. REGULATIONS. For the Fast of Lent in the Diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles. 1. All the faithful who have accomplished the last year of their age, are obliged to observe fast from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday, inclusive, Sundays excepted, unless for infirmity, or hard labor incompatible with the fast, they may be dispensed, as really the Church does not intend to compel them, or women with child, or those who give suck. 2. Fast consists in taking only one full reflection, or one meal in the day, which is usually taken at about 12 o'clock, nor can it be much anticipated from noon; and in abstaining from flesh meat. At night a collation is permitted, which, however, cannot be more than about one-fourth of a meal, nor can it be of substantial food as flesh meat, eggs, milk, nor even fish. We permit in this diocese for said collation the use of butter, milk, and also cheese, for the purpose of seasoning the coffee or tea, and likewise the use of small fish as sardines. 3. We dispense with the abstinence, and allow the use of flesh meat only in the principal reflection or dinner, on all days during Lent, except on Wednesdays and Fridays of every week, Saturday on Ember days, and Thursday and Saturday in Holy Week; but on such days in which we allow to eat flesh meat, it is not lawful to mix up or eat fish in the same meal, not even on Sundays during Lent. 4. Persons who are not bound to fast, or are dispensed with, for reason of hard labor, etc., as it was said above, they are not for that dispensed with the duty of abstaining from flesh meat out of the days in which such dispensation is granted, except it be for reason of infirmity or delicate constitution. 5. According to the faculty we have received, we permit in this our diocese the use of hog's lard or tallow, instead of oil, to condiment the meals on all days of fast and abstinence, except only on Holy Friday.
