He was brought before Justice Bailey yesterday and sentenced to twenty days labor in the chain gang. -Mr. Geo. H.

The doctor says that the ball with which he was wounded struck a home and glanced off, or rebounded, as it cannot be found in the hand. "It was a dall day Tuesday. The boys at the corner were restless. There was not money enough for an interesting game of poker, and no one cared to play pedro. They resolved to put up a little game on George. George Smith might have been his name, if he had been born in a different family. Smith would have been a shorter name than the one he has, but unfortunately his name was not Smith. This George had a girl in Downey, and the girl had a loving papa, who did not allow George to sit down when he came courting. That is to say, George always felt uncasy when he sat down in the old man's presence. He did not think the toe of the old man's boot was a good place to sit on. The boys managed to get a telegram from Downey informing George that his sweetheart would come down on the train Tuesday night, ready to marry and even anxious, and if George ever wanted to marry her, that was his chance. George rustled; he was a good rustler. He got himself up regardless of expense, put heaps of bear's grease on his hair and squeak oil on his boots. He put on the best black suit he had. George held a long consultation with mine host of the Anaheim; and had the best room in the house engaged. The cooks were instructed to begin baking cake, with special instructions not to mind expense in the way of frosting and plums. George called in a few of his special friends and instructed them thusly: "Now, boys, when I come in with my girl, I don't want you fellows to be too familiar and come jostling around. Wait until the right time comes, and I will give you an introduction in good shape." George was on hand at the depot when the train came in. He appeared a trifle nervous as the iron horse came pulling up with the car, which should have contained his loving bride. The car came up but the bride didn't. George waited until the last passenger was out of the car and then slowly and sadly started for home. Somehow it occurred to him that he had been sold. He accused the boys of putting up a job on him. Those innocent boys all proved an alibi; and George, after a night spent in doubt and fear, took a buggy yes- Apportionment of the Fund.

The doctor says that the ball with which he was wounded struck a bone and glanced off, or rebounded, as it cannot be found in the hand. "Shorty" Bayard, ex-Express Messenger on the Anaheim Branch, was arrested at San Diego, at the instance of Wells, Fargo & Co., who charged him with the theft of $38 50. He was brought to Los Angeles, and being found guilty, was sentenced to pay a fine of $100, or go to jail for 100 days. In default of payment, he went to jail. He no rain falls within twenty-four hours; there is no faith to be placed in signs. There are three very good indications of rain. First, the moon changes to night; second, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the almanac places three fishes together; and third, it is near the equinoctial storms. It is an old belief of the Quakers that, "when three fishes come together, it's bound to rain." But all signs fail in dry weather. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: Cahen & Willard, 1 butter box, 1 case axes; L. W. Kirby, 1 c cigars; Backs Bros., 1 bale mattresses; E. L. Cowan, 2 wagons, 52 pkgs mdse; Fighi Hubley, 11 empty bbls; Hin Sung, 11 ak's coke; Armor & Parker, 5 pkgs mdse; A. G. Beebe, 1 pkg paper; Watson, 1 bx mdse; P. Davis & Bro., 5 kegs auger; R. G.

Pursuant to a call published in the Gazette, a large number of persons, who had signed the roll of the Volunteer Fire Company, met at Kroeger's Hall last evening. The meeting was called to order, and Mr. A. G. Beebe was chosen temporary chairman, Capt. George Knox, Secretary. It was resolved to organize a fire company and Messrs. Schafer, Backs and Wicks were appointed a committee of three to draw up a constitution and by laws and present them for consideration at a meeting to be held Wednesday evening, March 21st. From Thursday's Daily. There are only twenty-eight cases of small-pox in Los Angeles. Mr. Beebe had a box of fine-looking strawberries at his fruit store yesterday. The shipments from the depot this morning were: 3 boxes fruit, 2 boxes butter. Sheep shearing will commence at San Joaquin on Monday next. Charley Benson, of the popular firm of George was on hand at the depot when the train came in. He appeared a trifle nervous as the iron horse came pulling up with the car, which should have contained his loving bride. The car came up but the bride didn't. George waited until the last passenger was out of the car and then slowly and sadly started for home. Somehow it occurred to him that he had been sold. He accused the boys of putting up a job on him. Those innocent boys all proved an alibi; and George, after a night spent in doubt and fear, took a buggy yesterday morning and started for Downey to investigate the matter. We understand some of the boys are going into the mountains on a hunt as soon as George gets back. There were no candidates for admission into the chain-gang yesterday. The Hotel & Building Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon. There were very few of the members present. Messrs. Gaddy & Lewis, have sold their truck line to Mr. A. H. Hansen, who will hereafter attend to all orders for jobbing. Mr. A. Magee, of the Pacific Life, made us a call yesterday. He is a genial fellow and will no doubt succeed in obtaining hosts of subscribers for that excellent paper. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 2 bbls wine, 1 keg wine, 1 box butter, 5 boxes oranges, 17 sacks potatoes, 4 sacks scallops, 1 box oil, 1 bdl pelts, 2 dry hides, 1 secretary. Mr. Henry Martin made a complaint against H. Evans on Wednesday evening, for making threats against his life. Mr. Evans says that he only made threats against the life of Mr. Martin's chickens, and voluntarily gave bonds in sum of $100 not to harm Mr. M. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: E Ames, 8 pkgs mdse; J H Bannett, 1 sack walnuts; H W Lake, 40 qr sacks flour; P, 7 pkgs mdse; E L Cowen, 1 pkg plow handles; J Benner-scheidt, 200 pkgs iron, 2 pkgs mdse; T P Hinde, 8 bbs malt; C W, 677 staves, 16 bills hoop iron; Fresenecker 1 box cigars; H McDermott, 24 pkgs mdse; H K, 2 empty pipes; F Schneider, 1 empty pipe; J W A & Co., 100 qr sacks flour; L G, 8 pkgs mdse. Mr. J. F. Walker, of Tustin City, has secured the Pacific Coast Agency for the Eureka Lamp Chimney. These chimneys are almost unbreakable, much more so than those made by the Bastie process. The latter will break if struck on a nail, but the Eureka defies the hardest blows. It is probable that the chimney can be broken, but no ordinary accident will do so.

He thinks that the ranch will not support over one-third of the stock this season. —The Hotel & Building Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon. There being no quorum, the business was postponed to a meeting to be held this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at Scott & Montgomery's office. —Almost every stockman seems to have the Arizona fever just now. A gentleman from Los Angeles says that there are a large number in that city fitting out for a trip across the desert with their flocks. —The case of Taylor vs. Titchenal & Williams, a suit of claim and delivery, was transferred from Judge Humphrey's Court, at Santa Ana, to Justice Bailey's court, at Anaheim, and will come up for trial on Friday. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: P Davis & Bro, 2 bales sacks; H Neill, 2 pkgs mdse; I Cohen, 1 sack alfalfa; A Langenberger, 5 cases coal oil, 40 qr sacks flour; R Larter, 193 joints well pipe, 1 starter; M J Bundy, 2 pkgs saah; Edwards & Rowe, 3 boxes apples; T J Harlin, 20 qr sacks flour, 2 cases coal oil; J Fischer, 1 kg beer; W Fusenfelt, 1 box plants; Carey & Sons, 1 sack seed; J J Dyer, 5 boxes soda, 5 kegs beer; L Utt, 4 pkgs mdse; Wong Yon, 2 sacks peas; Alward Bros & Co, 12 boxes dried fruit; P; 3 pkgs mdse; E L Cowan, 3 pkgs mdse. —Mr. J.

We did not learn whether he was, or was not, a relation to the famous Joseph from Pike. He operated alightly at the Mechanic's saloon; but his most brilliant manoeuvre was made at the establishment of Mr. A. G. Beebe. He represented to Mr. B. that he had an order on P. Davis & Bro. for a sum of money, but when he went to cash it Mr. Davis had closed his store. He wanted money enough to pay for his lodging and breakfast, and as soon as the store was open he would return the money. Mr. Beebe loaned the fellow a dollar and a half. Upon inquiry, it was discovered that there was no money to Mr. Bowers' credit at the store of P. Davis & Bro. Mr. Bowers left town yesterday about noon, and the Under Sheriff and several deputies are in search of him. —the boys at the corner don't laugh as much now as they did over that joke on George. It proved itself to be a boomerang sort of an affair. The sequel to it was spicy. While George was gone on the investigating tour to Downey, the boys went on an investigating tour to the hotel. They wanted to investigate the wedding cake. They knew it was a nice cake. It looked nice and then the girls made that cake and of course it was nice. They were sorry that George did not buy champagne to wash it down with; as nice cake like that could only be washed down properly with champagne. By the time they had eaten a bite of the cake, they could have washed it down with anything. The girls had put up a little job by themselves, and filled the cake with red pepper. Those who swallowed the largest mouthfuls had the reddest faces. The boys at the corner can eat wedding cake, but don't hanker after it. Those boys would like to turn themselves inside out and sit down on a snow drift. That was a fine piece of astute respondent from Westminster tail end of his article, last But Tustin City took it as a proof This reminds us of another essay, "Veni Vidi," who "booro" on the brain (as he has anything without mentioning since we have noticed his astonished). He attempts to beg leave to remind him that of glass, wherein beholders give everybody's face but their chief reason for the reception in this world, that so very few with it.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Recently when in Anaheim we were informed by parties who ought to be well informed in the matter that unless the Lighter Company was better patronized by shippers the Landing would very soon be an abandoned port. The Railroad Company are now carrying produce and freight at very low rates, thus attracting considerable freight that otherwise would be carried by the steamers. This "freezing out" plan has been their policy throughout the State and has generally been successful. Should it prove so here any one acquainted with the operations of Stanford & Co knows what the result would be—high rates of tariff, and the many other unpleasant experiences various parts of this State have passed through at the hands of the monopoly. It is not yet too late to ward off the danger; if the Lighter Co receive the patronage of shippers they will continue to operate, and thus secure us cheap transportation; all they want is encouragement. In a good, or even a fair season, perhaps the best thing that could happen for this entire region would be to have the Landing closed, and we thus left to the mercy of the Railroad. It would not be very long ere the screws drew so hard that the building of a wharf would be forced upon us as the only way of protecting ourselves. But can we stand such a pressure this year? Present appearances are hardly favorable. There was a meeting of the Presbyterian congregation in the hall, Saturday afternoon, to consider the subject of building a church. After considerable discussion they voted to build a church this season, and appointed a committee of five, Rev R. Strong, Dr J.R.Gregory and Messrs W.F.Poor, S.Lyman and J.F.Sherwood, to get as many plans and estimates as possible and present them to a meeting of the congregation to be held on Friday afternoon, April 6th. It was also decided not to sell any part of the church lot. The Choral Union met on Tuesday evening, and will hereafter meet on that evening each week, except the last Tuesday of the month when the ladies have the hall engaged for their sociables. There was a party in the hall Friday evening, and we hear that everything passed off happily. Supper was prepared for them in the hotel. The regular semi-annual meeting of the stockholders of the Co-operative store will be held in the hall Tuesday, at 2 p.m. G.M.Crittenden has finished J.M.Clark's well, getting 1 inch flow at 111 feet, and has taken the tools to Mr.Kirkpatrick's Taulet & J.M.Clark are having on Mr.Taulet. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Mrs Lewis and Miss Calisher, of Anaheim, visited car orange groves on home back, Tuesday. D.W.C.Dimmock Esq., has quite a number of 6 year old seedling orange trees in bloom. This proves that even seedling trees are several years earlier bearing in this locality than was ever expected. Mr.Kellogg, the wing shot of Anaheim, and a few mimrods from here, had a pleasant day's hunt on the Santiago last week. Mr.A.J.Hayward left for Arizona on last Tuesday. D.C.Hayward is in Sacramento with orange trees. Sam Rusk has begun raising fruit in earnest on his ranch. Ray and Stewart think of going to the upper country soon. Patterson Bowers is putting out a tremendous orchard of orange trees, judging from the loads we see him drawing. A.C.Bowers and Johnson Reynolds took a flying trip to Riverside last week. They report that burg putting on city airs, erecting a large hotel and planting out numerous acres of trees, and should continue to prosper it will soon be second to Orange in many respects, except in the beauty of the girls. Mr.Barricklow, while removing it cactus from his horse's foot, received a kick on the back of his hand making a painful wound. Chas.Basset sprained his finger while handling a bronco; Tuesday. Chas.you should be careful; broncos are unpleasant fellows to play with. Mr.Hamilton, while returning from his bee ranch, in the Trabuco Canon, killed quite a huge rattle snake. It is now preserved at the drug store. All go to church Sunday; there will be preaching at the M.E Church and school house at the regular hours, and Sabbath School at both places, as usual. Mr.Shirez, of the San Francisco Mercantile Agency, is around enquiring after facts among ye business men of the coast, so we are informed. X.Y.Z. March 14, 1877. Post Office Letter List.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. The political cauldron has already begun to bubble; numerous patriots having privately stated that they are willing to sacrifice themselves to the public good by serving in some of our local offices. The "never sweats" propose to run their candidate for Justice of the Peace on the "sunsetz" principle; and their boss fossil has signified his willingness to hang on to the tail of the ticket for constable, with "Jubal," as "canine apprehender." Early to bed, and early to rise," is their motto in regard to their candidates; but they should recollect that the "early worm" gets snapped up sometimes, before they can crawl into their holes. Recent events seem to give color to an assertion, that was made by a party accessory to the shooting affair, which occurred here sometime ago, that "the controlled District Attorney and County Judge," from the fact that the former refused to take evidence in regard to an attempt to murder, which was made some time ago at the corner of 5th and Sycainore Streets. All these things, without regard to the wishes of the people, will make all candidates for re-election very popular. "Our present very efficient Dist. Attorney" had better note the fact. The hog ranch company have built a flume to conduct water from their artesian wells to the highest part of the ranch, from which they can irrigate in any direction. They have fenced off one alfalfa patch, into which they have turned a number of hogs; the balance of the ranch is in alfalfa and barley. This artificially made hog ranch is now equal to Eldinger's natural one. Within six miles south and west of here we counted no less than eight derricks where workmen were engaged in boring artesian wells. Bob Dibble says it is an "ill wind that blows nobody any good." He is turning out well pipe very rapidly. Horace keeps the front part of the store in apple pie order; what he doesn't know about polishing isn't worth knowing. The Messrs. Haywood, the new tinners, are nearly ready for operations. We have read patiently, hitherto, our friend "X. Y. Z's" assertions in regard to water, and what he was going to do "by law;" how that it should not cross the Santiago unless there was a "surplfs," and how it should not be diverted from its original intent, etc., ad infinitum et ad museum. Now we have taken some pains to inquire into the matter of some of the stockholders of the part of the church lot. The Choral Union met on Tuesday evening, and will hereafter meet on that evening each week, except the last Tuesday of the month when the ladies have the hall engaged for their sociables. There was a party in the hall Friday evening, and we hear that everything passed off happily. Supper was prepared for them in the hotel. The regular semi-annual meeting of the stockholders of the Co-operative store will be held in the hall Tuesday, at 2 P.M. G. M. Crittendon has finished J. M. Clark's well, getting 1½ inches flow at 111 feet, and has taken the tools to Mr. Kirkpatrick's Taylor & J. McCoy are boring on Mr. Trefethern's place. J. A. McFadden has given up boring on the mesa as a bad job; he tried to pull the pipe, but got stuck, and finally left. Six of his rods and several other "fixins" are still in the hole. He is boring for S. B. King. Woodington & Buck got an inch flow, at 148 feet, on Mr. S. Edwards' dairy ranch. Caldwell and Chase finished the well on Mr. Yates' place; 3¼ inches at 151 feet. They are boring on Mr. Spruce's land. Mr H. A. Young is having a well bored. We learn that some of the wells, on the high ground north of us, are failing; there is no such trouble here. Mr. Z. McChesney has bought twenty acres of Calvin Porter; consideration $1,000. We notice about here, and also about Anaheim, that some of the barley is looking badly. On the plains vegetation is drying up, and sheep men feel alarmed, and are looking for better feed. John Patterson and W. S. Randall start on Saturday to New Mexico with 3,000 sheep; the balance of the band will follow as soon as they are sheared. The Scars Bros. start for Arizona on Monday taking about 300 of their cattle. Other sheep and stock men are talking of moving off. The squatters south of us held a meeting to consider what course they should adopt regarding the adverse decision of their claim at Washington. Some of them tell us the fight will now be over the patent. They have dismissed their former lawyers, engaged new attorneys and intend to continue the fight. We wish this matter might be settled. Fifteen hundred sacks of potatoes is one item of imports by steamer from San Francisco to Wilmington. These spuds were ordered by the Los Angeles and Anaheim merchants who are now, we are told, selling them at $2.25 per cwt. Why this is done we can't say; but we do say that far better potatoes, the choice of Early Rose and Early Goodrich can be bought right here for $1 per hundred pounds. Why is it that merchants, who claim to be the farmer's friends, import so many articles that are produced by their own customers? Rev. H. Loomis, who is introducing the trees on this coast, has sent Mr. Strong a dried Japan Peramimson as a sample of what can be done with the fruit. This one is three inches long, two wide and five-eighths of an inch thick. The flesh is very firm, and the flavor fine. To have the dried fruit show such size is proof that when green it must be quite large. There is still time to secure these trees and we are convinced no one who has them will regret it. The last Rural Press has an illustrated description of the tree and fruit. Mr. Strong will take orders for these trees and we hope several will still be sold here. We stopped at the new store of Webster, Howe & Co., at Garden Grove, a few days ago, and found them busy opening and arranging their goods. By this time everything is probably in order. We hear much said concerning their stock and low prices by persons who have purchased of them. The stock of tobacco they keep is one of noticeable features. It is expected that a Post Office Letter List. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: Armer, H. Beers, Mrs. J. S. Coons, C. A. Hoffman, J.

A dove descends upon the Virgin's head; and after these have retired a reverent father comes forth and pantomimically gives the spectators a blessing. "Who shall lead?" demands a political organ.

Bob Dibble says it is an "ill wind that blows nobody any good." He is turning out well pipe very rapidly. Horace keeps the front part of the store in apple-pie order; what he doesn't know about polishing isn't worth knowing. The Messrs. Haywood, the new tinners, are nearly ready for operations.

Now we have taken some pains to inquire into the matter of some of the stockholders of the Water Company, and we believe that we have arrived at the bottom facts. Now, it is very seldom that we need any water, except what nature affords us, but we don't propose to allow a dry section, like Orange, to monopolize our rights, or the water either, because it happens that there is a dry season staring us in the face. By law, any citizen, whether he lives in Tustin City, Orange or Santa Ana, who makes the first application for water and pays for it, will get water first. By law, the only persons concerned in the Semi-tropical Water Co. are the stockholders, who have the preference in case of scarcity of water, but without regard to their locality. People can rest assured, therefore, that if the "law" is enforced, they can obtain water by making the proper application. That was a fine piece of satire your able correspondent from Westminster got off, at the tail end of his article, last week, wasn't it? But Tustin City took it as a matter of course. This reminds us of another correspondent of yours, "Veni Vidi," who seems to have "booro" on the brain, (as he has never written anything without mentioning the same), but since we have noticed his ears, we are not astonished. He attempts satire also. We beg leave to remind him that satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders generally discover everybody's face but their own, which is the chief reason for the reception it meets with in this world, that so very few are offended with it. He also sneers at an enterprise, begun some time ago, in which citizens from all sections are engaged. We beg leave to state that to sneer and denounce is a very easy way of assuming a great deal of wisdom, and of concealing a great deal of ignorance. This patent fact will apply to many we wot of.
