Reports from San Luis Rey say that the grass in that section is very scarce. If heavy rains do not come soon the sheep men will meet with heavy losses. The Star says that Mr. Burnap, who lives in the foothills near the San Fernando mountains, has a tomato vine nearly 1000 feet in length. John Brown's body lies mouldering in jail simply because he tried to get his soul in marching order by a few drinks of whisky. He is asked to the accommodations of the Marshal, however, as he spent Monday night in the same locality for a similar offense. William Ober, who was brought from San Diego county, on Sunday, by Sheriff Barham, charged with being connected with the stealing of horses from Gadfly & Lewis, was discharged from custody yesterday on motion of the prosecuting attorney.

The Republican says that Anaheim had a hail storm and two claps of thunder on last Monday. We don't believe it. An "hijo de Mexico" paid fifteen dollars into the justice's exchequer yesterday for the privilege of drinking bad whiskey and using cuss words. A fish vendor in town yesterday had among his collection a species which he called "political" fish, because they were white on one side and black on the other. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning, 42 bales wool, 30 sacks barley, I tank, 3 beer kegs, 3 soda cases, 1 hand car, 17 boxes trees, 2 boxes butter, 1 box rollers. John Brown appeared before Justice Bailey again yesterday morning, and testified to the amount of eight dollars and twenty-five cents. Owing to the high price of whiskey in Anaheim, the uncomfortable lodgings furnished by Marahal Wartenberg, and the persistency with which the Justice piles on the fines, he concluded to "go marching on" in search of a more congenial locality. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: L A Carey & Sons, 1 butter box, N Fletcher, 4 pkgs mdse; J P Johnson, 11 bells trees; C P Layman, 3 belle trees; Edwards & Rowe, 3 boxes fruit; H Messenger, 3 sacks potatoes; Wong You, 5 sacks vegetables; Cahen & Willard, 3 pkgs mdse; G W Freeman, 4 pkgs mdse; Halberstall, 2 bells glass, 1 belle sash; G Morey.

He has just returned from a careful examination of the road over which he will travel. He will take with him pumps and troughs, and is satisfied that he will have no long, forced marches to make for water. —The following named physicians recorded their certificates of diplomas in the office of the County Clerk: R.J.P.Brunnson, St.Louis Medical College, Missouri, March 1st, 1856; F.A.McDougall, Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburg, Scotland, May 2d, 1838; J.R.Gregory, College of Physician and Surgeons, New York, March 8th, 1866. —As two gentlemen were driving down Lemon street yesterday, the horses became unmanageable and ran the entire length of the street. The buggy was overturned, throwing the occupants to the ground. No serious injuries were inflicted except those sustained by their purses in paying for the demolished buggy. —San Francisco capitalists are developing quite an interest in the San Fernando oil wells at late. It is worthy of remark that although all these wells are shallow, ranging from 200 to 350 feet, none of them are less than ten barrel wells. In Pennsylvania of late years three and five barrel wells are thought to pay pretty well, and that at depths of 1100 to 1800 feet. The present refining capacity of the Star oil works at San Fernando is, we believe, twenty barrels a day. There is an eager demand for the oil in San Francisco. —Herald. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: T J Harlin, 10 sacks flour, 20 pkgs mdse; J J Dyer, 5 kegs beer; A G Cook, 244 joints well pipe, 2 starters; Caher & Willard, 60 sacks flour, 20 pkgs mdse; S Batte, 5 blds trees; H W Lake, 8 pkgs mdse; P Davis & Bro, 4 chests tea; B F French, 8 pkgs mdse; Melrose & Athearn, 2 pkgs type; Kaha & Co, 3 egg boxes; C M Woodruff, 1 box eroquet; G H Pike, 6 pkgs mdse; A G Boebe, 10 boxes apples. —Deputy Marshal J.D.

As it is necessary that some one should give constant attendance to these delicate fish while on the road, Mr. Dunlap will start for San Francisco to-morrow, and return in two or three days. It is necessary that they should be fresh air pumped into the water every key in Anaheim, the uncomfortable lodgings furnished by Marshal Wartenberg, and the persistency with which the Justice piles on the fines, he concluded to "go marching on" in search of a more congenial locality. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: L A Carey & Sons, 1 butter box, N Fletcher, 4 pkgs mdse; J P Johnson, 11 bills trees; C P Layman, 3 bille trees; Edwards & Rowe, 3 boxes fruit; H H Messenger, 3 sacks potatoes; Wong You, 5 sacks vegetables; Cahen & Willard, 3 pkgs mdse; G W Freeman, 4 pkgs mdse; Halborstadt, 2 boxes glass, 1 bille sash; G Morey, 1 pair shafts; A Guy Smith & Co, 7 cars lumber. Important Meeting of Irrigators, The following letter, received yesterday from Mr.W.M.CFADDEN, will explain itself: Eds. GAZETTE.—A move is being made to reorganize the Water Districts, Nos.1 and 2,and to eject the incorporated company from possession of the ditch, and the Districts again take possession of the ditch and finish it. The judgment by default, obtained by the Company gives the Company no title on account of some legal technicalities,&c.,and the people are determined to go on and finish the ditch,and if need be,test the constitutionality of the law. To arrange the preliminary steps,a meeting has been called of all land owners in the two districts,tom meet in Anaheim on the 10th of March.at 1:30 P.M.Will you be kind enough to mention the meeting in a local item? Yours &c., W.M.MCFADDEN. ANAHEIM,Feb.27,1877. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] Our town jail was occupied yesterday by two Indians and a Mexican. A crazy man,dressed entirely in white,was seen promenading on Los Angeles street yesterday, Men are at work digging up the grape vines on the school house lot preparatory to planting trees. The shipments from the depot this morning were:1 case hh goods,18 dressed sheep,2 bells sheep,1 box eggs. A number of Chinamen were employed yesterday cleaning the streets under the direction of the Marshal. We are receiving a very large patronage in our job printing department which shows that our work and our rates are equally satisfactory. The Santa Barbara Press has kindly sent us some specimens of job printing which we pronounce to be in the highest degree excellent. The Express estimates the total amount of land cultivated in this county to be 90,000 acres,[of which about 25,000 are in barley,20,000 in corn and about 10,000 in wheat. A chain gang has been commenced.Marshal Wartenberg has Mr.John Egan under his charge,doomed to work for twenty days for getting drunk and exhibiting a dead- Deputy Marshal J. D. Dunlap to-day received a letter from B. B. Redding, Esq., Agent Land Department C. P. R. R., informing him that a large number of Eastern brook trout had been received, and that five thousand could be furnished for our mountain streams. As it is necessary that some one should give constant attendance to these delicate fish while on the road, Mr. Dunlap will start for San Francisco to-morrow, and return in two or three days. It is necessary that they should be well supplied with ice, and fresh air pumped into the water every half hour or so, and that they should be taken from the cars direct to the mountain streams. They are designed by the Government for public streams, and parties desiring to stock any of the mountain streams in this section of the country, will be on hand on Mr. Dunlap's return on Thursday or Friday. Meeting of the School Trustees. The Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District met at the Gazette office yesterday afternoon. Mr. Rimpau reported that the deed for the school house lot had been received, and was in the Recorder's office at Los Angeles. Mr. Kroeger was appointed to attend to removing the vines from the lot and preparing the ground for trees. It is proposed to plant a hedge of cypress trees around the lot, leaving a sidewalk outside of the hedge ten feet wide, and to set out shade trees upon the edge of the sidewalk. The Board instructed the Clerk to find out what arrangements could be made toward building a school house, and to report at the next meeting. It is the design of the Trustees to proceed as soon as possible to prepare the grounds for a new school house to cost from eight to nine thousand dollars. It is thought that means can be devised to raise four or five thousand dollars without levying a tax. If so, one story can be erected and put in immediate use and in two years more a tax might be levied to complete the balance, if no other method presented itself. As a last resort, the trustees will procure a plan of a building of which one portion can be completed with the money now in the treasury, and use it for the primary department until means can be procured to finish the entire building. The school house lot, ornamented with trees and shrubs, will be an attraction to our town, and as there will be little or no money to spare, it is hoped that those of our citizens who have an abundance of trees and shrubs will donate the same to the trustees. Anyone desiring to lend a helping hand in the matter can notify Mr. Kroeger. The Santa Barbara Press has kindly sent us some specimens of job printing, which we pronounce to be in the highest degree excellent. The Express estimates the total amount of land cultivated in this county to be 90,000 acres, of which about 25,000 are in barley, 20,000 in corn and about 10,000 in wheat. A chain gang has been commenced. Marshal Wartenberg has Mr. John Egan under his charge, doomed to work for twenty days for getting drunk and exhibiting a deadly weapon. At the auction sale yesterday the furniture and other articles were disposed of at fair prices. It appears that there is always money in the country when an auction takes place. The Board of Supervisors will meet on Monday next. The survey of the east line of Los Angeles county, made by Ferris, of San Bernardino county, and Ellis, of this county, will be submitted to them for approval. There has been an unprecedented demand this year for pear tree, and nearly all the nurseries have been depleted of this particular tree. Even the Los Angeles nurserymen have been sending down this way to purchase, but their orders can't be filled. Sheep men are having a hard time in the neighborhood of Riverside. The grass is short and scarce, and the sheep are so poor and weak that they cannot sustain their lambs, which, consequently, have to be killed. In addition, the sheep, in their scramble after food, are leaving all their wool on the bushes. The auction sale of lots on Fischer's vineyard takes place to-morrow morning at the Planters' Hotel. We have already spoken of the desirability of making a purchase of some of those eligible lots. They will probably be sold at a low figure, and as they are constantly increasing in value, the investor will make a good bargain. The bee man in the neighboring canyons are now basically engaged in fixing up their apiaries for the approaching season. If the feed should be plentiful, there will be a greatly increased quantity of honey produced this year. Quite a number of bee ranches have been recently established...Mr. Heath of this place informs us that the coal mine is progressing satisfactory. The indications for both coal and oil are excellent. Santa Monica Outlook By an advertisement in our paper, it will be seen that on the 24th inst. there will be an auction sale of lots on the "Kuchel vineyard." We know several dozen men who have for years been deploring these lots were not on the market. New that they are on the market, we presume that these gentlemen will either make an investment themselves or endeavor to get persons to buy the lots who will make substantial improvements. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: J Schoenholzler, 2 pkgs mdse; M Hayward, 5 pkgs mdse; Davis Bros, 40 mats rice, 9 pkgs mdse; R G McGibbon, 1 box stationery; Carey and Sons, 1 butter box, 1 plow; G A Pike, 9 pkgs windmill; M Mendleson, 1 case cigars; W C M, 2 boxes glass; J W Clark, 9 pkgs mdse; J Bennerscheidt, 4 pkgs mdse; C and W, 3 cases coffee; A G Smith & Co, 1 car lumber; P, 1 box mdse, F G Mitchell, 1 wagon. The following items are from the Santa Ana Times of yesterday: We were shown this week, by Rev. J. D. Crum, a fine specimen of gold bearing quartz, taken from a lodge less than fifty miles from Santa Ana. The specimen shown as assays $11,000 to the ton. J. W. Swanson, of Gospel Swamp, has a cow that gave six gallons of milk a day until two weeks before calving, and since then has continued to give the same amount while the calf is allowed to run with her. We saw a new corn planter, the invention of Captain J. West, of this place. It works on a gang plow, and has a tube leading from the hopper and depositing the corn in the furrow immediately behind the plow. Connected with the feeder is a rod, the free end of which is forked and clasps loosely the wheel of the gang. On two of the spokes of the wheel are two guides at equal distance from each other which give motion to the rod and feeder. Captain West claims that it possesses many advantages over the ordinary planter in use. It requires only one man to do the work; it is lighter, and plants the corn more regularly. It can be seen in operation on his farm two miles southwest of town. Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. It looks as though such of our people who husband their opportunity will, this season, be rewarded for their labor. A dry season is at hand with its short crops and high prices; and while this is to be regretted, because of the ill effects on the State at large, it is no less our duty here to make every effort to secure good crops and thus place ourselves on an independent basis. Judging from present indications, settlers on the artesian belt will have only themselves to blame if they fail to "come out ahead" this year. There was a meeting in the Hall Friday evening, to hear the report of the committee on incorporating this place. Mr. Josiah MeCoy was chosen Chairman, and A. Kell, Secretary. The minutes of the last meeting were read and accepted. The report of Committee on Incorporating was read by Dr. P. Howe; they recommended that the territory consisting of Sections 11 and 2, and the east half of sections 10 and 3, making three square miles, which is the extreme limit allowed by the law, be incorporated. Petitions had been circulated by the committee asking the Supervisors to incorporate the section named, and the majority of the voters in the prescribed limits had, it was said, signed the petitions; it was also said that on these three sections there was a population of 270. It was moved by Jesse Davis "that we incorporate." This brought out quite a spirited discussion, and it being evident that the motion, if put would be voted down, Mr. Davis withdrew it. Mr. Patterson then moved "that we do not incorporate, and that the petitions be not sent to the Supervisors;" it was carried by a large majority. Mr. Stevens moved that a committee of three be appointed to draw a plan of the plaza, showing where they thought it best to set out trees or shrubs, and what varieties, with an estimate as to the cost of the improvements they would recommend, all to be submitted to a future meeting. Messira, Stevens, Sherwood and Preston were appointed. It was generally expected that after the almost unanimous vote in favor of not incorporating or presenting the petitions to the Supervisors, that question was ended for the present. But it is stated that the petitions will be presented to the Supervisors on Monday. We have no remarks to offer regarding such proceedings; the facts speak for themselves. Men who signed the petitions are the most anxious not have them presented. The reasons they give are that they signed without due consideration. We wish it understood that we have "no ax to grind" in when they run away and succeed out of this Tustin town he did not jump onto collide with himself. He is at expectations so. As the public publication material eavesdropping on their morning service will commence at 11:45 the Sunday school commencing at 10:30. The change is a good one. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Kite-flying excites the average boy now. Joseph Fisher disposed of his home place containing 20 acres, for $4,400. Mr. Rusk, the purchaser, intends making this his future home. The social hop at Mr. Warren's last week proved a social gathering, and all present partook of a social nature. S. L. Talkington is planting out quite a vineyard of raisin grapes. Mr. Ladd intends setting out several thousand Muscat of Alexandra vines in vineyard form on his bee ranch, in the Canon de Santiago. J. M. Wright is spending his vacation from school duties, canvassing for fruit trees. Mr. Athearn, of the Gazette, made us a pleasant call last week. His genial style admits him to the first rank as a solicitor. Invalids find new life and energy by a few days spent in the invigorating atmosphere of the mountains near by. There are about 32,000 orange trees in orchard form in this vicinity, besides the large number in nursery rows. Many hundred of these trees will be in bearing next year. Now that the Presidential question is settled, it behooves Californians to look into the cause of our ruinous taxation. The past history of the State shows beyond a doubt that we pay sufficient taxes to support a good sized government. Heretofore flush times have veiled this enormous drainage on the people, but as we are now feeling the effects of hard times, it is to our interest to look into the cause of the shame and taxes come first. It has been stated by mithinking people or designing bigots that Orange offers no accommodation to the traveling public. This is a mistake, for Prof. Yarnaldley informs us that the hotel will accommodate all that apply for either board or lodging; and besides the hotel we have a restaurant furnishing meals at all hours, day or night. The prospect for a dry season lends those looking for a home to examine the water privileges thoroughly, and it is ceded by all that no better watered district exists outside Real Estate Transfers.

Breaking out first in Anaheim it reached this place; Santa Ana contains several serious cases and a few have appeared at Orange. We hear that Upper Santa Ana has a petition ready to send in,and shall not be surprised to learn by telegraph that the citizens of Savannah,jon the old Anaheim and Los Angeles road are anxious to be granted a town government. Having occasion to go to Los Angeles this week we rode with a friend who had to drive up At Norwalk we saw a gang of men digging quite a large ditch,and on inquiring learned the wells were failing at Artestia,and this ditch was being constructed to afford them a supply for irrigating. The statement was a surprise to us; here we have no signs of failure although many of our wells are older than any in that settlement. In riding through that section we frequently noticed reservoirs been made near the wells,bysimple throwing up a circular bank of earth,and it struck us as a point it might be well to copy here. Along our entire route we noted places that had been started since we last drove over that road about six months ago. Los Angeles was terribly dull,and everyone complained about the times. This is owing largely to the small pox scare,and while it is true that exaggerated stories have been circulated regarding the number of cases it can't be denied that the disease is raging with almost unchecked force.In conversation with some of the leading physicians there we learned that it is not confined to Sonora and Chinatown,cases existing in all parts of the city.The physicians do not hesitate to say persons who are not called there by business had better not visit the city at present. It surprised us to find the schools had not been closed;in Eastern towns have veiled this enormous drainage on the people,但 as we are now feeling the effects of hard times,它 is to our interest to look into the cause of the same and taxes come first. It has been stated by unthinkingly people or designing bigots or treating the traveling public. This is a mistake for Prof. Yarnelle informs us that the hotel will accommodate all that apply for either board or lodging;and besides the hotel we have a restaurant furnishing incals at all hours,day or night. The prospect for a dry season leads those looking for a home to examine the water privileges thoroughly,and it is ceded by all that no better water district exists outside of the artesian well district,than Orange and vicinity. Mr. Toler has made several agencies in various Eastern cities in connection with the Bureau of Information and Immigration,and we learn will have a corresponding agency at Anaheim,Los Angeles,Santa Ana and Orange. Mr. Walcott's brother arrived here Sunday eve day direct from the San Joaquin Valley.He gives it as his opinion that the Joaquin Valley is exceedingly dry,and prospects of a partial if not total failure in crops. Talk about having to wait eight or ten years for a crop of oranges! Around here the trees bear before you know it. This vicinity was favored with a slight shower on Wednesday.Fifty or sixty such would do some good. Dr. Burtnett and Mr. Birch,made us a pleasant call last week.The Doctor thinks it distressing healthy just now,and Mr.B. reports everything quiet in Santa Ana. The social gathering at Mr. Webber's on last Saturday evening,我们 are informed,a very pleasant,but not attended with a surplus of ladies.Missr.s Watson and Thomas are shearing their sheep this week.It appears to us early for the time of year. The mirage,presented to our view every morning in the direction of Westminster,是 really beautiful to those who arise early enough to see it. Dr. Hayward informs us that he intends budding most of his large seedling orang trees this Spring.X.Y.Z.Z. March 1st , 1877. Tustin City Items. FROM AN Occasional Correspondent. The crops in this section are beginning to show the effects of the drought,and the farmers are thinking of the straw-piles they burned in the Fall.On last Monday,however,the were visited by a thunder storm which lasted some twenty or thirty minutes,during some twenty or thirty minutes,during which time from one-half to two inches of water fell according to the violence of the storm in different localities.Hail-stones fell as large marbles,and some of our ladies gathered up wash-tubs full of ice./Ice-cream was made from the ice gathered into our door-yards.Who says Tustin City is not a favored locality when we have strawberries ripe on the vines,and almond trees in blossom and ice-cream manufactured from ice picked up in front yard?We understand that the storm was quite limited in extent,ranging over but but a few square miles in the vicinity of Tustin City while at Orange it did not rain a drop.Probably this fact may be explained by the Clerk of the Weather understanding that they do not need any rain at Orange,(as they intend to monopolize the ditch water "by law." Mr. S.Ritchey,ealthy,a practical farmer,and one who believes in thorough cultivation is not particularly fond of having HELD FOR POSTAGE.

A Oil City boy was threatened with a whipping yesterday, when he called for a compromise. His argument was, that it had been stated that he must be whipped, but nothing could be found to show who should hold the whip. There were numerous precedents in favor of the father using the rod, but nothing could be found in the law which expressly stated that he should do the licking. Therefore the boy called for a compromise bill, when disputed questions should be left to a committee composed of his sister and mother, they to choose a third disinterested party, to whom all objections should be left; and he wished as a beginning to file an objection to being whipped. But the President of the whip overruled the objection and proceeded to the count, while a variety of musical notes certified to the receipt of all returns. A Havana paper, referring to President Grant's message and his statement that Cuba is the only land in which slavery now exists, says: While slavery exists on a large scale in Brazil, the Spanish law of gradual abolition will result in ending slavery in Cuba earlier than in Brazil. If foreign governments insist that slavery be abolished in Brazil while it exists in Cuba, then let the Spanish law be exchanged for the Brazilian, and thus do away with fault-finding and compal foreign nations to blame Brazil when blaming Cuba. Whether under Spanish or Brazilian law, we shall have to pass through a transformation of the gravest importance. Nobody ignores this, yet nobody takes provisionary steps. Los Angeles was terribly dull, and everyone was complaining of the times. This is owing largely to the small pox scarre, and while it is true that exaggerated stories have been circulated regarding the number of cases, it can't be denied that the disease is raging with almost unchecked force. In conversation with some of the leading physicians there, we learned that it is not confined to Sonora and Chinatown, cases existing in all parts of the city. The physicians do not hesitate to say persons who are not called there by business had better not visit the city at present. It surprised us to find the schools had not been closed; in Eastern towns when such diseases are prevalent the authorities always closed the schools. On our way home by cars we noticed the blue gums at Forest Grove, the other side of Downey. A year ago a joint stock company set out forty acres in blue gums for forest culture. The trees then were only a few inches in height and now will average about 15 feet. Do hogs pay? How often the question is asked and how differently is it answered! Not being able in such matters, we will simply give the sales made by Bear & Ott, of Gospel Swamps. Thus far this season their sales amount to $1980. Their breed is the Berkshire and Essex, and they must be good when one with her nine little pigs brings $60; one with eight little pigs $55, and one with seven $40. When hogs bring, as they do now, six cents a pound on foot, they must pay big; and there's money in them at a much lower rate. The small pox and varioloid cases on the mesa are convalescent, and no new cases are reported. The Choral Union meets in the hall on Tuesday evening. Oscar Mack offers Muscat grape vines, one year old, at 75 cts. per hundred. Miss Lizzie Leffler is building a two story dwelling, 22x40, on her town lot. Sizer and Yates are the contractors. Miss Moffit is building a house on Allen McDowell's place; main building, 12x28, with an L-12x28 and a kitchen 10x18. Mr. Leach has sold his town property to John Johnson; consideration, $450. B. Silkwood has bought 40 acres west of Beasonett's at $22-50 per acre. McCoy and Taylor have finished Frank Rogers' well, getting 23 inches at 160 feet. They are now boring for Mr. Bothwick, Caldwell and Chase are boring for Mr. Hitchcock at Garden Grove. Frillay evening about 25 of our young people surprised Mr. and Mrs. Con Howe. These pleasant farewell surprises have been appreciated, and the Westminster people will always find the latch string out at Con's new home in Garden Grove. There was a very pleasant sociable in the hall on Tuesday evening. The Ladies' Building Fund Society and the Mite Society united, forming a new society. They will hold societies the last Tuesday evening of each month. The moneys they collect will be devoted to the Presbyterian Church. Mr. S. Ritchey, although a practical farmer, and one who believes in thorough cultivation, is not particularly fond of having his land plowed by road overseers, especially after he has sown it to grain. Fighting is getting fashionable here. Even the school-boys are prone to settle their little difficulties according to the regulations of the ring, and the other day a couple of ye bloody bootchars made Rome howl. We might have had a fine lot of sausage cheap, had the battle waxed a little warmer. Tustin City is to have a tin-shop. The building is in course of construction. Washington's birthday was celebrated at this place by a ball. It was a very pleasant affair. Mr F. Perkins has been visiting the farmers, endeavoring to interest them in the culture of tobacco. Amos Stein has cut down the cypress trees in front of his place. They make quite a wood-pile, and would last a good while if he had to chop them up into stove-wood. Cos why? Cos Amos would be a good while chopping them up. He is very—sickly. The speculators and stock-brokers of most large cities are called Bulls and Bears, according to the manner in which they operate. But in Santa Ana they are called No Sweats and Booros, and it is "nip and tuck" which will get the ascendancy. We are beginning to experience the same trouble that most new countries do about road matters, owing to the various lines run by different surveyors, and the different personal interests at stake. It looked for a while as though the middle man was about to have another formidable enemy to contend with in the person of the heathen Chinese as well as the Granger. Our enterprising washerman Hen Lee displayed the sign "Agency of the San Juaquin Lands," in large letters upon the front of his wash house, but we are inclined to think he has resigned, as he has taken in his sign. Several of our citizens have gone to Arizona, in quest of that everlasting fortune, and sent back such flattering reports that others are thinking seriously of following them. Col. Tustin and Mr. Winters met with quite an accident the other day, and clearly demonstrated the foolishness of two men trying to drive one team. They were coming from the Anaheim depot when the horses took fright and started to run away. Mr. Winkens grabbed for the lines and succeeded in getting one, and fell out of the wagon with it, leaving Mr. Tustin to paddle his own canoe as best he could with the other line, which he did until he thought the wagon was going to collide with a telegraph pole, when he jumped out and sprained both his ankles and set himself together another notch or two. He is at present confined to the house but expects soon to be around as usual. As the necessity of fencing is apparent to the public generally, and a case of construction, ornamentation and cheapness of the material employed is the great desideratum sought, we take particular pleasure in calling the attention of the public to one that fills the bill exactly. It is styled after the principles of the inventor, The No Sweat Fence. All who have passed a certain place in the suburbs of Santa Ana cannot have failed to notice the fence which surrounds it, and renders its appearance so cory. The inventor is very proud of it and has often been seen at sundown (it has been said the setting sun renders all things lovely) with hands thrust deep down in his pockets, serenely contemplating not the work of his hands (the manual part was performed by others) but of his fruitful brain. He is fully convinced that it is an impassable barrier for anything from a bed-bug to a buffalo, and will willingly furnish particulars to parties wishing to embark in the enterprise of the modus operandi involved in its construction, and will take great pleasure in showing them a practical illustration. —Violin and Guitar strings of the best kind at Woodruff's Book and News Depot, opposite Bank of Anaheim.
