There is a letter at the Anaheim post office addressed to "O. T. White, Smith Paul's, N." The postmaster has searched the directory and is unable to find any post office of that name. Several of our customers have complained lately that their newspapers have been stolen from their doors. We think that a man who steals a newspaper is a little the meanest of all thieves. The shipments from the depot this morning were 39 bales hay; 24 bills trees; 7 boxes trees; 2 boxes dried meat; 1 box eggs; 23 sacks corn; 8 bales wool: 3 pkgs wine; 1 box eggs; 1 box butter; 5 cars sheep. It is with unfeigned regret that we chronicle the death of the aged mother of Mr. R. H. Gilman. The lady had been an invalid for years. The funeral will take place this afternoon from the residence of her son. There was some disturbance on Los Angeles street yesterday afternoon, caused by a some fellow who had more whisky on board than he could well manage. The Constable took him in charge and he will have a hearing to day. Mr. Olden is experimenting in the matter of irrigating at his farm near Anaheim. He proposes to raise the water from a surface well by means of a Chinese pump worked by horse power. His neighbors are anxiously awaiting the result of the experiment. There was considerable stir last week among the Government land settlers in the neighborhood of Riverside, over the investigation by the Surveyor-General into the boundaries of the original land grants in this vicinity. It appears that a correct survey will take in considerable land as belonging to the grants that was heretofore supposed to be Government land. Most of this land has been taken up by settlers, and some of it has been considerably improved. The following items are from the Star: As an indication of how times are looking up we may mention that Mr. M. S. Patrick, of the Commercial Bank, during the past few days, has made two loans, one of $80,000 and another of $20,000 at 11 per cent per annum. For the benefit of amateur sportsmen we will inform them that the game law went into effect on the 15th inst. and will remain in force until September 15, during which time it is unlawful to kill quail, ducks, geese or deer. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A L. Carey, 6 pkgs mdse; R G McGibbon, 1 box fruits A Langenberger, 6 pkgs mdse; P Davis & Bre, 2 sacks coffee; H B Warren, 1 sack alfalfa; McGibbon, 100 joints well pipe; M A Miss Ada Pallow, a young lady fourteen years of age, was married on Sunday morning last to Mr. M. B. Russell. Miss Ballow is the daughter of Mrs. Menroe, proprietress of the Los Angeles hotel. It's all in the glorious climate of California. The schooner Leonica Harker, Captain Anderson, from San Clemente Island, arrived at Washington on the 25th inst., bringing one hundred tons of wool conspired to the Southern Pacific Railroad for shipment to San Francisco. We are informed that the item which we clipped from the Star, yesterday, relative to the game laws, was incorrect. In Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties the law does not go into effect until the 1st of April and only continues until the 1st of August. Judge Bailey yesterday fined an individual $30, with an alternative of thirty day's imprisonment, for battery. Officer John arrested him for disorderly conduct, and he resisted so vigorously that the officer was compelled to give him one on his nob and reduce him to quietness by the soothing influence of a club. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: S L Chilson, 23 pkgs mdse; J B Siberet, I cask wine, 20 or sks flour; R Larvin, 60 joints well pipe; Cahen & Willard, I pkg mdse; Alward Bros & Co, I sack coal; J B Saberet, 3 pkgs mdse; I Cohn, I case hats; F Wakeham, 199 joints well pipe, I starter; H Cohn, I case coal oil; Anderson & Co, 7 pkgs mdse; W Tighe, I egg box; J Benneyscheidt, 139 pkgs iron; J Lowe, 5 pkgs mdse; M D Hahalay, 18 pkgs windmill; W H Henderson, 1,512 feet lumber; A Guy Smith & Co, 8 cars lumber. Following is the roll of honor of Orange-thorpe school, H. McKim teacher: 1st grade 1st division—Annie Williams, Minnie Mead, Francis Robbins; 2nd grade 1st division—Nellie Bancroft; 3rd grade 1st division—Jennie Gardiner, Clara Schulta, Mary Smith, Mollie Gardiner, John O. Austin; 3rd grade 2d division—Hubie Bancroft, Willie Austin, Susie Smith, Hannah Smith, Bennie Porter. Mr. G. H. Kellogg, agent for J. W. Gale & Co., says that firm made a sale of corn in San Francisco last week for $1 52$, all gold, and another sale more recently for $1 62$, all gold. These are the highest prices which have been paid for grain this season. He further informed us that he had just received returns from some barley sent to the city a few days ago, and that it had been sold for $1 50. Mr. Kellogg thinks that the corn crop of this county will be very large this year. The charge against Congressman Wigginton in regard to the appointment of Hicks to the cadetship instead of Mosher, has been satisfactorily explained. It seems that upon reaching a decision the Committee telegraphed to Wigginton at Washington to appoint foot. He had stopped there was a Henry rule, and a muzzle of the gun on his hands on his butt, the gun was discharge through the foot but for bones... Quite a stoppened to a little dangling Tuesday, in the S were on their way to seek took a gentleman who a large and heavy robin children got on the roll little girl fell over in passed over her body were broken, and at last sufferer was doing aspected. Anaheim Literature The members of the society met at Kroeger's journiment, Mr. A. G. The meeting was called following officers elected suing term of eight weeks Grimshaw; Vice President Secretary, V. Montgomery Rimpan; Sergeant-at-Messrs. W. F. Heathmenson were admitted society. Bill of C.M. allowed and ordered pass H. Henderson while all were remitted.

The Feast of the Passover begins tonight. A contemporary says that the festival continues for eight days, preparatory to the observation of which all breads beer or any other liquor made of grain must be removed from the house, as, also, all vessels which may have been used for these things; and during the continuance of the feast no leaven of any kind is allowed to be eaten or used for any purposes. The first two and last two of these eight days must be kept as holy as the Sabbath, but during the four intermediate days such affairs and occupations may be attended to and followed as are absolutely requisite. The ceremony of the first two nights are as follows: The table being prepared as is usual on the Sabbath and during festivals, three plates are placed thereon; on one are placed three Passover cakes; in another, the shank-bone of the shoulder of a lamb, and an egg roasted; and in the third, some chervil or parsley, and horse-radish; as also a cup of vinegar, or salt water, and a mixture of apples, almonds and cinnamon. During these two nights, all Hebrew servants are allowed to sit at table, thus commemorating the time when all were equal in bondage. Each one has a glass of wine before him or her, and during evening every one at table drinks four glasses or cups of wine. The master of the house relates the redemption of the forefathers from Egypt, and returns praises and thanksgivings to God for His kindness and mercy. The charge against Congressman Wigginton in regard to the appointment of Hicks to the cadetship instead of Mosher, as recommended by the Committee, has been satisfactorily explained. It seems that upon reaching a decision the Committee telegraphed to Wigginton at Washington to appoint Mosher, but owing to a change of residence he did not receive the message until the 5th of March. His term expired on the 4th, and as he was compelled to fill the vacancy before that time he appointed the boy Hicks, after waiting until the eleventh hour to hear from the committee. Prof. Yarndley will hereafter act as organist of St Michael's Episcopal Church. He has been organist of churches in Oakland and San Francisco, and is a very superior musician. He was compelled to come to this section for the benefit of his health. As we go to press, (11 p.m.) it is raining quite briskly. Several loads of wool came up from Rawson's ranch yesterday. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] Several bands of sheep from this vicinity will start for Arizona early next week. A quarry of fine white marble is being opened near Tehachepi. There are but nineteen cases of small-pox in Los Angeles. The present status of the Congressional dispute is favorable to Pacheco, the son of contest resting with Wigginton. Deputy Sheriff Harris has taken B. N. Williams to San Quentin, to suffer one year's imprisonment for shooting Choynski. A special meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M., will be held to-morrow evening. The shipments from the depot this morning were: 77 bales wool, 455 skis barley, 6 boxes oranges, 141 sacks corn. We were shown yesterday some rock taken from the vicinity of the Trabeco canyon. It contained traces of silver and copper, and would undoubtedly pay well for working. A grand temperance revival is being projected in Los Angeles by Rev. C. E. Rice, acting Grand Lecturer of the Independent Order of Good Templars. Eight public meetings will be held, the first of which will take place this evening. On account of the rain last night the Larowe & Livingston Dramatic Personations were postponed until to-night at 8 o'clock. Quite a number had assembled, but the good of the many was taken into consideration, and the entertainment was fortunately deferred. It commenced raining quite briskly yesterday morning about five o'clock, and during the day we had two or three showers. Five-sixteents of an inch fell in the morning Yesterday was in the main a bleak, cold day, and it will be a disagreeable disappointment if frost does not make its appearance within a few days. In the lower end of the county it rained nearly all day yesterday, and the late crops of barley in that section are saved. Rain enough has fallen at the present writing to insure a good crop of hay, and if we get a little more moisture (and it looks very much as if we will) give a splendid yield. The Los Angeles papers say that it rained yesterday morning from 2 o'clock until 6, and during that time the rain amounted to .35 inches. From the Santa Ana Times of yesterday: Last Tuesday, while out hunting, Frank Taylor accidentally shot himself through the foot. He had stopped to load his gun, which was a Henry rifle, and after loading, put the muzzle of the gun on his foot and was resting his hands on the butt, when by some means the gun was discharged, the ball passing through the foot but fortunately breaking no bones...Quite a severe accident happened to a little daughter of Mr. Burton, last Tuesday, in the Swamp. The children were on their way to school when they overtook a gentleman who had behind his wagon a large and heavy roller. Several of the children got on the roller to ride, when the little girl fell over in front and the roller Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. The result of the trial in the case of the People vs. Williams shows that the investigator of the shooting affray did not own as much of the County Judge and District Attorney as he thought he did. Not muchly! That Anti-Quackery law is an informal nuisance. Cause why? We had, previous to the passage of this odious measure, practitioners and graduates of many year's standing, but this bill cruelly and relentlessly compels you to register the date of your diploma in the County Clerk's office, and let behold! we who had graduated years and years ago are shown to have graduated in 1876! It is a monstrous shame. Some of our noted Los Angeles surgeons were compelled to undergo the same humiliating process. The boss fossil's cane has got the rhenma-tism, and he himself is trying the "blue glass" as a remedy to recuperate his exhausted legs and brain, after his herculean efforts to clear a noted criminal, recently convicted. By the way, it would be no more than right for those who instigated the poor devil to do the shooting, to circulate a petition in favor of the Governor pardoning him. "Banjo taught by mail" is what some professor on that instrument advertises to perform. Now let us have "corns cured by telegraph," and we will all be happy. Yet Mrs. A. thinks that would be better than corn drops. The "slate" that was made up a short time previous to the last general election, is pretty nearly shivered. Mr. Stamps, near Orange, showed us some grape entwines that he states has been set out but five weeks, that will have from one to two bunches of grapes on them this season. There is a fine opening here for another physician of the Allopathic school, from the fact Dr. Mason is going to Arizona, Dr. Burtnett is drunk, and Dr. Jones is praefising a specialty, which leaves no but Dr. Bailey to be depended on, and he don't object to dividing. We also need a Homepath and an Eclectic. Dr. Cummin proposes attending lectures this fall and winter, which will furnish us with a member of the Physio-Medical School—a remnant or improvement, I don't know which, of the old Thompsonian system. One Homepath, an Eclectic, and one more Allopath is what we want you to send us. Dr. J. G. Bailey, of Buffalo, N.Y., a graduate of the Buffalo Medical College, has located here, and is a gentleman of brilliant attainments. He will undoubtedly acquire an extensive practice. He informs us that indulgence were held out to him in Los Angeles and Anaheim to bote in these places, Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. It is gratifying to see the Gazette so interested in the agricultural questions connected with this portion of the State. In all new sections it requires the experience of years to ascertain what crops and fruits succeed the best and prove the most profitable. We are all beginners now and have yet to learn how to realize the most from our lands. But it seems as though statements from practical farmers, showing their successes and how attained, and also their mistakes, would be most helpful. Can you not induce such men to contribute to your columns? Nearly every one here is arranging to plant very largely of corn. Mr. Griswold's planter is engaged for six weeks ahead. More land will be planted than ever. More of our farmers are thinking of growing beans than in any previous year. Potatoes are also receiving a good deal of attention and are looking well; those planted early are quite large. Our farmers have full faith in a diversity of crops. Fruit prospects seem bright: Almonds, apricots, cherries and peaches have set their fruit, and the trees are many of them literally loaded. We have almonds and apricots over an inch long, and on the same trees find fruit, buds and blossoms, in all stages, from the large sets to the bud just commenceing to swell. Quinces are also set, and fruits and berries of all kinds promise well. Mr. J. H. Flaming has a three-year-old budded orange tree in blossom. While we seek no local controversy with any of your correspondents, we desire to correct the closing paragraph in X Y Z's last letter. Fruits of all kinds are doing well and look fine at Orange, as he says. And we should hardly have expressed the opinion that farming operations are a failure there. We are pleased to learn they have a prospect of enough water for trees and gardening. He says, "farming will be confined to cheaper and lower moist lands, where fruits are a failure." It is probably true that farming will be confined to the lower lands, where plenty of water is obtained and crops are reasonably sure. But fedita are not a failure on these lands. Finer peaches than those grown here last season we have never tasted, and the same is true of apricots, apples pears, grapes, etc. Men from Orange expressed the same idea last Summer, and if your correspondent will come over here this summer, he too will convince: Trees and vines of all kinds are making as healthy, vigorous growth as will be found anywhere. Water, clear and pure, is readily obtained from flowing artesian wells which furnish a sufficient supply for homes use, stock irrigation, and parties getting here can feel sure of success in growing fruit or farm He had stopped to load his gun, which was a Henry rifle, and after heading, put the muzzle of the gun on his foot and was resting his hands on the butt, when by some means the gun was discharged, the ball passing through the foot but fortunately breaking no bones. Quite a severe accident happened to a little daughter of Mr. Burton, last Tuesday, in the Swamp. The children were on their way to school when they overtook a gentleman who had behind his wagon a large and heavy roller. Several of the children got on the roller to ride, when the little girl fell over in front and the roller passed over her body. Fortunately no bones were broken, and at last accounts the little sufferer was doing as well as could be expected. Anaheim Literary Society. ANAHEIM, March 26, 1877. The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Kroeger's Hall pursuant to adjournment, Mr. A. G. Beebe in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the following officers elected to serve for the ensuing term of eight weeks: President, T. S. Grimshaw; Vice President, R. G. Glover; Secretary, V. Montgomery; Treasurer, Fred Rimpan; Sergeant-at-Arms, J. M. Guinn; Messrs. W. F. Heathman and W. D. Stevenson were admitted as members of this society. Bill of C. M. Woodruff for $150 allowed and ordered paid. The duges of W. H. Henderson while absent from the county, were remitted. The list of delinquent members, containing seven names, was laid over until the next business meeting. The Treasurer not having prepared his report, asked leave to present it at the next meeting, which was granted. The society then adjourned to meet in Kroeger's Hall on the evening of April 2d. N.Y.Montgomery, Secretary. Was he Crazy? Eds. Gazette. I came from Los Angeles on the cars on Wednesday, evening. As the train approached Downey City, when about one mile distant, I saw an old man who sat near me, throw a shot-bag of coin out of the car window. When the train stopped at Downey he walked leisurely and boldly out on the platform, and did not get on the train again. What could have been the motive which prompted him to toss that bag of coin out of the window? Many and various were the surmises made by the passengers, but the most generally adopted opinions were that the money was ill-gotten gains; that the old man was a stage robber, or an absconding cashier, and was afraid of being caught with the money in his possession at a telegraph station; while others thought the old man was clean daft, as crazy as a March hare—entirely bereft of his senses. I X L. Post Office Letter List. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: Allen, L. C. Austin, G. T. Boswell, T. Cooper, Mrs. A. Cook, Geo. Cook, B. H. Harris, Wm. Hall, S. B. Hanks, Emily. Hilton, E. Lebat, Mattie. Messenger, Mrs. Effie. O'Neil, M. We also need a Homepath and an Eclectic. Dr Cummins proposes attending lectures this fall and winter, which will furnish us with a member of the Physio-Medical School—a remnant or improvement, I don't know which, of the old Thompson system. One Homepath, an Eclectic, and one more Allopath is what we want you to send us. Dr J. G. Bailey, of Buffalo, N. Y., a graduate of the Buffalo Medical College, has located here, and is a gentleman of brilliant attainments. He will undoubtedly acquire an extensive practice. He informs us that inducements were held out to him in Los Angeles and Anaheim to beate in these places, but he says he generally obtained the most of his practice where the most people were, and that is the reason that he located here. J. H. Moessner has went down 206 feet for water and is still going down. He has obtained a small flow. The Gospel Swampers have lost faith in Providence, so far as water is concerned, and have quit looking upward for it, and they are all looking in the other direction. W. N. Tedford obtained a 4 inch flow of water at a depth of 192 feet. J. Williams is down 280 feet and has a poor flow of 1½ inches. Mr. Dodge, of Fernlale, Humboldt Co., is erecting a general merchandise store on Fourth Street, east of Main. Mr. Nash is superintending the work. Mr. S. E. Jones is making arrangements to erect a bank building at the S.E corner of Fourth and Main Streets. Mr. Beck, of Downey City, has leased the Santa Ana Hotel and will take possession on the 1st of April. Why don't "Investigator" answer himself? Like other sections, this side of the river is somewhat agitated on the water question, and the people are very jealous of their rights. As an illustration of the latter fact it was discovered some time ago that the water had been diverted from its legitimate purpose in the interest of a few individuals. This caused an indignation meeting to be held, which resulted in causing the parties using the water to stop it. So far, no satisfactory reason has been given why the water was so used. Dodge's new main building will be 16x32 feet in size, two stories in height—an L 16x20 feet, two stories in height besides kitchen, &c. "Veni Vidi" (don't he wish that he could say Veei) prefers "booros" to hogs; so be it. Bion. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Efforts to rain have been in vogue this week. Born, to the wife of L. A. Curtis, a daughter. To the wire of H. Gardner, a son. To the wife of Lew Huntington, a son. What neighborhood goes better? The hop at Bower's last night was the crowning joy of the season, to those concerned. Dr Beach removes to San Francisco this week. A divorce suit monopolizes a portion of the citizen's attention this week. Mr Mitchel is digging a well; Thomas Hulse contractor. Dr Mason of Santa Ana was in town during the week; he looks hale and hearty. The Literary Society meets at the residence of Mr French, at San Joaquin, on next Saturday, 31st inst. The concert of the Union Sunday School will be continued to the lower lands, where plenty of water is obtained and crops are reasonably sure. But felida are not a failure on these lands. Finer peaches than those grown here last season we have never tasted and the same is true of apricots, apples pears, grapes, etc. Men from Orange expressed the same idea last Summer, and if your correspondent will come over here this summer he too will be convinced. Trees and vines of all kinds are making as healthy, vigorous growth as will be found anywhere. Water clear and pure; in reality and cheaply obtained from flowing artesian wells which furnish a sufficient supply for house use; stock and irrigation; and parties setting here can feel sure of success in growing fruit or farm crops, independent of rain. Grain and hay buyers visited this place last week and said farmers here had more "hang on" to them than on any settlement they had been through. Calbwell and Chase finished the Goldworthy Bros' well, getting 24 inches at 121 feet. The well has increased to over 3 inches They are now boring on Mr. D. Grissfeld's place. Mr.Trefeatien's 2-inch well has increased to 24 inches. Mrs. Deyers has had her house moved here from Santa Monica and will have it put up on a lot bought of Dr McCoy. It was showery on Tuesday night and yesterday morning on over half an inch of rain fell last night; with clouds still threatening. Several families from the mosa south of here start for Oregon and Washington Territory next week. School closes Friday P.M. Every one has been satisfied with the teachers and there is a general regret expressed that we are to lose them. Mr Butterfield goes to Los Nietos to take charge of a school, and Miss Anderson returns to St Louis, Missouri Both will carry the good wishes of our entire community. Miss Kate King will open a private school soon. There will be a meeting of the Presbyterian congregation in the hall Friday afternoon at half past two; to hear the report of the committee appointed to secure plans and estimates for the new church edifice. If our people will notice the chromo hanging at the post office here, and will read the printed notice that a copy is given to every new subscriber to the Gazette; probably more of them will subscribe for the paper Give your subscriptions to Mr Hull or to us,and the ladies of the Presbyterian Church will make a small commission for their treasury. The stores here are doing well and our shops seem to have work enough. Alward Bros & Co have sent off another shipment of 900 doz eggs They have commenced receiving the Spring clipof wool.
