Business of importance will be transacted. Star: It is a curious fact that no Good Templar, no Mason, and only one Odd Fellow had the small pox during its prevalence here of late. The late winds have dried the grass to a considerable extent and unlew the rain comes soon the crop will be exceedingly small. Messrs. F. & J. Backs are improving their property on Los Angeles street. They will renovate the old adobe building throughout. The case of the People va. Buckley and Fruit, a suit for malicious mischief, came up before Justice Bailey yesterday. The case was ably argued on both sides, and the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. The charges against A. J. Mappa, ex-Deputy Revenue Collector, were dismissed on Monday in the United States Circuit Court, there being no evidence against him of intent to defraud. The Express says that in the northern part of the county the buds on grafted fruit-trees of the deciduous class are closing and drying up, even where irrigation is abundant. In this section no such trouble is experienced. Mr. Horace J. Smith, a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, arrived in Anaheim last evening. We hope that our citizens will strive to make the gentleman's stay a pleasing one, and that he will carry away with him pleasant memories of world-famed Anaheim. Herald: When the Messrs.

The school is called Cahuenga District School No. 2, and is in charge of Miss Regina Mast, teacher. The prospective branch railroad from Newhall Station to San Buenaventura and SantaBarbara is the all-absorbing topic in our sister counties, and public meetings in its aid are being held. A monster mass meeting is to be held in Santa Barbara to-night. The Herald calls attention to the disparity in representation in the Legislature between Los Angeles and Santa Clara counties. There is a more striking disparity still. Sacramento, which don't begin to have as large a voting population as Los Angeles county, has two Senators and five Assemblymen to our one Senator and two Assemblymen—or seven to three. The boys at the entertainment on Monday night were thrown into a fever of excitement, by the announcement that one of the chief lady killers had been married that day. There were many wagers made upon the subject and those who bet that the follow had not married, in spite of his own assertion to the contrary, were invariably the winners. When the Grape Brandy Bill was passed it was hoped that a bonded warehouse would be established in Anaheim. But as will be seen by the regulations we published yesterday, the number of warehouses is limited to seven, only one of which is to be established in this county. Of course that puts a stopper on Anaheim's expectations, for the warehouse will undoubtedly located at the county seat. The railroad authorities have held an investigation into the accident which occurred on Saturday on the Southern Pacific road beyond Indian Wells, and which resulted in the death of Gilman G. Brown. It appears from this investigation, that a blinding sand-storm prevailed at the time, and that it was so dense as to preclude the men from seeing an object a car's length ahead. Under the circumstances, there could be nobody really to blame for the accident. There was an attempt made a few nights ago to kidnap C. H. Phillips, Cashier of the Bank of San Luis Obispo. Mr. Phillips lives about half or three-quarters of a mile from the main portion of the town, in what is known as Phillip's Addition. He was called to his door at a late hour, on the pretence that he was wanted on an urgent matter of business. When he presented himself, a pistol was aimed at him and he was told to come along, that he was the man that was wanted. He managed, however to make his escape. It is supposed that the object was to make Mr. Phillips open the bank vaults. M. S. Hall, Wm. Hickman and P. Backman, who were examined on last Saturday afternoon before United States Commissioner Mr. Horace J. Smith, a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, arrived in Anaheim last evening. We hope that our citizens will strive to make the gentleman's stay a pleasing one, and that he will carry away with him pleasant memories of world-famed Anaheim. Herald: When the Messrs. Freeman and Eastman return from San Francisco, the affairs of the bankrupt firm of Temple & Workman will be turned over to Mr. G. E. Long, the United States Assignee. The Messrs. Freeman & Spence will remain as the assignes of Wm. Workman individually. It is likely that the United States Assignee, Mr. Long, will apply to the Court to obtain leave to supplant the present mortgages by a new one at a lower rate of interest, and running for the period of a year. Mr. E. J. Baldwin and other mortgagees will then be paid off and the business of the bank will be got in the best shape for the depositors. A sale of the property in bulk, in the present depressed state of drouth-ridden California, would be prejudicial to the creditors and hence the application for permission to re-mortgage. The appeal from the decision of the District Court has been allowed to fall through. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY] In the case of the People vs. Buckley and Fruit, Justice Bailey fined each twenty-five dollars. The shock of an earthquake was plainly felt at Anaheim and Santa Ana about four o'clock yesterday morning. Messrs. Cahen & Willard finished the removal of their goods to their new stores yesterday. They will soon have everything in good shape. Col. J. A. Evans, who left Los Angeles some time ago for the Black Hills, fell from his wagon near Cheyenne, and dislocated his shoulder. The Hook and Ladder Company held their meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening; there was no quorum present and no business was planned. F. A. Korn will attend the session of the Grand Lodge of L.O. O. F., as delegates from Orpheus Lodge, and Mr. Richard Heimann will represent Anaheim Lodge. A fire in Los Angeles yesterday morning, destroyed a frame building on Main street, belonging to Governor Downey and the Cardwell estate. The Hellman Block was also damaged to the extent of $800. Mr. Horace J. Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, was viewing the country yesterday under the pilotage of Mr. Olden. He is extremely well pleased with our section, and says it is the greenest spot in the State. The Orizaba started out of San Diego during Tuesday's blow, and was compelled to seek shelter in False Bay where she lay at anchor for twelve hours. The sea was very high in the offing, and washed clear over the gantry. In this section no such trouble is experienced. Mr. Horace J.

Backman, who were examined on last Saturday afternoon before United States Commissioner Whiting, for cutting timber on government land, were each held in bail of $500, for their appearance before the United States Court at next session. The fluming company it seems had a contract to supply 25,000 cords of wood to parties in this city and were to furnish a large number of ties to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The flume was to be about twenty-three miles long and was almost completed before the parties were arrested for the offense as stated above. Republican. The Herald says: Major W. H. Toler proposes to open an office on Court street, near Spring. He will organize himself into an Immigrant Bureau, and will proceed to answer wholesale the inquiries of those persons in the east, north, north-west, south and southwest, who desire information concerning Los Angeles. We have so often dwelt upon the necessity of a bureau such as this that it is not necessary to reiterate our views now. It will be simply invaluable. He will devote his personal industry to satisfy the curiosity of inquirers, and the result of his labors will be to people our rich valleys. Major Toler is a gentleman of energy and character, from Memphis, Tennessee, who settled at Orange some years ago, and who has since devoted much of his leisure to the enlightening the people of his State and section as to the desirability of Los Angeles as a home. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] Several large loads of corn passed through town yesterday. Fifty-one new books have been added to the Public School Library. They were purchased with the Library Fund. The Herald thinks that Anaheim should have a Bonded Warehouse. So say we all of us. Mr. Horace J. Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, was viewing the country yesterday, under the pilgrimage of Mr. Olden. He is extremely well pleased with our section, and says it is the greenest spot in the State. The Orizaba started out of San Diego during Tuesday's blow, and was compelled to seek shelter in False Bay where she lay at anchor for twelve hours. The sea was very high in the offing, and washed clear over the decks of the Orizaba. Thursday, the 26th inst., will be the 58th anniversary of the founding of Odd Fellowship in the United States. We learn from the Express that the fraternity of Los Angeles propose to dispense with the usual demonstration, and participate in a jubilee to be held by Nietos Lodge, No. 197; at Downey City. It is astonishing what a quantity of visitors by the name of Doe come among us, and strange enough, they are all named John. An unfortunate family, that Doe family; John Doe is always in some trouble or other. Wartenberg picked up a belligerent Doe yesterday. His name was John, too. This John Doe was very drunk—that's another peculiarity that runs in the family. Our friend John will come up before Justice Eailey to-day and speculate in chances in the chain gang. Last Tuesday a Spaniard came to the ranch of C. E. French, and demanded of N. O. Stafford, who was there, the sum of three dollars. Being refused he next went to Mr. French; and being refused he attacked Mr. French with a pair of sheep shears. In the scuffle which ensued the Spanish succeeded in getting Mr. French's watch, and jumping on his home left for Santa Ana. Mr. French at once dispatched his foxes in pursuit, and the Spaniard was overwhelmed just before he arrived in town, and placed under arrest. His manner showed plainly that he was insane. He was kept under guard Tuesday night, and Mr. French left with him for Los Angeles yesterday morning for the purpose of having him examined for commitment to the Insane Asylum—Santa Ana Times. —T. Jeff. White, of Los Angeles, died at his residence on Tuesday. As is well known, Major Truman of the Star is a great lover of the turf, and has shown his fondness therefor by going to a great deal of trouble and expense to induce Budd Doble to bring his fast horses to Los Angeles and give the people of this county a chance to see them trot. We quote from the Star of yesterday: On the 27th of this month, "Bodine," who made 2:19 in Oakland, in March, and "Occident," who made 2:17 in his late Friday, at half part 1 o'clock, we will trout at Sacramento, in harness and to rule, best 3 in 6. The next day, Saturday, we will trot "Goldsmith Maid," the queen of the turf, and "Rarus," the new equine wonder, who made a record of 2:152 at Sacramento on Monday last, excelling by one second, the best time ever made in California. The expense of getting up this grand exhibition, if all of our arrangements are perfected, is $2,000 for each maze; and it is perfected so far as we are concerned; as a number of gentlemen, in connection with ourselves and Messrs. Hammel & Denker, the lessees of the park, have entered into the scheme. By request, we re-publish the following sections of the game law; Every person who, between the first day of January and the first day of September of each year, takes kills or destroys any elk, deer, mountain sheep, or antelope, is guilty of a misdemeanor; and every person who shall take, kill or destroy any of the animals herein mentioned, at any time, unless the carcass of such animal is used or preserved by the person alaying it, or is sold for food, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The following counties are excepted from the provisions of the above section: Del Norte, Humboldt, Shasta and Mendocino. Every person who, in the counties of San Bernardino or Los Angeles, between the first day of April of any year and the first day of August of the same year, or who, in any other of the counties of the State, excepting the counties of Lassen, Plumas and Sierra, between the fifteenth day of March and the fifteenth day of September in each year, takes kills or destroys quail, partridge, or grouse, mallard, wood, teal, spoonbill, or any kind of broad-bill duck is guilty of a misdemeanor. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Judge Humphrey loves a joke and is a little fascinated at times. A rattle pair, living not a thousand miles from Gospel Stramp, applied to him so he united in the holy hands of matrimony. As soon as the knot was tied, "Well air," said Jonathan, "what's the damage?" "Nothing I hope," replied the Judge. "If there is any harm done it is no fault of mine; you alone are responsible for the proceedings of this evening." "But I mean air, what's to pay?" "Oh that depends on circumstances. When I marry a couple, if the bridegroom is a little indifferent towards his bride, he hands over only the legal fee. If he is pretty fond of her he will pay five or ten dollars. If he is very deeply in love with her he will not think of giving less than twenty dollars." What effect this gentle hint had on the heart of Jonathan, tradition with not. Judge Kelting, of San Bernardino, is visiting this section of country for the purpose of buying property, and with a view of locating permanently. He met with quite a severe accident at Orange, some time ago, in which a couple of ribs were fractured. He is doing well. Mr. Beck has made a good start with the Santa Ana Hotel and is well pleased with the substantial encouragement he is receiving. Fanlkner's Hotel is also doing a good business. The Wilkinson House is for rent. We are reliably informed that it has cost more in this road district to pay for the surveys and damages allowed than the whole road tax amounts to, and as the Board of Supervisors have made no provision to pay for the working of the roads, we presume that they will not be worked. Mr. Mills has been working very faithfully for some time to make the roads passable that was spoiled by his predecessor, and he has a good prospect of waiting for his money. We are informed that a tenth-rate pettifoger impeached Judge O'Melveny of high crimes and misdemeanors, in Orange, some time ago. We presume that the Judge will abandon all pretentions to being his own successor on account of it. Prof. Andrews' well is now flowing but twenty inches above the pipe. This still leaves it the largest flowing well in the State, so far as we know. It is a matter of sincere congratulation to the people, as well as to the medical profession, that we are to have in a short time, what we have never had before, a regularly educated Druggist and Pharmacist. Mr. Lewis, from Los Angeles, formerly from Seward, Nebraska, is about to locate here and establish a first-class drug store, a want long felt. Messrs. Tithe & Hubly have established those having almond trees should not become discouraged for the Santa Barbara trees did not fruit under eight years. Give 'em two more years. Mr. Stamps has 5-months-old grapevines with from two to five benches on each. He thinks they are stretching themselves. Rev. Wilhite's team attached to a spring wagon ran three miles on Monday with two small children in the wagon. Strange to say they hurt nothing. Dr. Joslin lectures on Monday before the public school on "Hygiene as applied to the Digestive Organs." Dr. Jonas the oculist, of Santa Ana, was in town on Thursday. Mr. Anderson Sr., is in town from San Diego. That burg does not deserve to prosper when its Board of Health decides that a tannery is a nuisance; unhealthy etc. Better accept anything than dry up and blow away. No fruits were injured by the late wind, so far as heard from. We visited last week the vineyard of Mr. Herman, three-fourths of a mile south of Oranje. His place only requires age to be one of the handsomest vineyards in the county. Three years ago it was a sheep range but now he informs us it begins to remunerate him in a substantial manner. Last year, from five acres he made 2,500 gallons of the finest wine besides selling four tons of grapes delivered at his door. He enologizes the Muscatelle grape, and thinks it the finest wine grape in the world, and has rooted out a number of Mission variety to give place to this variety. His four-month-old wine is superior to any we have seen even 12 months old. Mr. Herman is a thorough practical wine-grower having been "reared among vines" in the finest wine producing country in the world. He says land with the least indication of alkali is not fit for wine-producing grapes; and no judge will locate on such lands. Mr. Herman was born in the southern portion of Germany; his grand-father made wine; his father made wine; and he understands and practices the theories of many years experience; and his production is evidence sufficient that his trade is thoroughly learned. He thinks Orange and vicinity better adapted to this branch of industry than any locality he has visited in the United States; and expects to make treble the number of gallons ever made on this side of the Santa Ana river; and of a kind to command the highest price; where there are judges of the beverage. Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. On Tuesday we had a regular Nor-Wester—a sand storm—and everything indoors and out of doors bears its mark, being covered More Political Gossip. The Los Angeles Star says: Regarding the Legislative candidates, the Democrats at present consider Col. Geo. H. Smith their choice, although Mr. Mott and others will fight his nomination. It is understood that Mr. Mott (Tom) is not a candidate for Senator honor; but Tom will have something to say concerning who is put up. He is the power and the manipulator behind a certain throne, and Col. Smith will for the first time discover that the author of certain anonymous letters against Judge Sepulveda, four years ago, will have an up-hill job in securing a nomination. That he seems to be the Democratic choice at present, there seems to be no doubt. Hon. Mr. Stephens, on the score of being a new comer, we suppose, has declined to have his name used. Col. E. J. C. Kewen is, of course, a candidate. We personally admire the Colonel. He is an noble, whole-souled gentleman, and entertains more liberally than all the rich men in the county put together. He is a life-long Democrat, and a famous orator, and has served his State in many ways. But the Colonel can hardly expect the nomination after his poor run for Congress five years ago, and his defeat by McConnell and Lambourn in the Democratic County Convention two years ago. Could he secure the nomination, even, he could not be elected. Asa Ellis is a true man, we think, and honored himself in the State Legislature five years ago. But he will hardly be strong as a candidate. Hon. B. D. Wilton has been laid on the shelf. He was an honest man as a legislator, and is a pure man in every sense of the word, except in the political sense. He is a Bourbon Democrat, when the Bourbons have things their own way. But when the Republicans are in the ascendency, then he is a pretty lively Independent, or even Republican, as the case may be. He don't like to see others go against the Democratic party. But he defeated Jack King, the regular Democratic candidate for the Senate, eight years ago, by affiliating with the Black Republicans, and he also did all he could against Kewen five years ago. His friends tried to get him the Independent nomination for Senator four years ago, but the Republicans, as well as the Democrats, concluded that the time had arrived to place the old gentleman on the shelf. And there he is, and there he will remain. Of course, as we intend to support the candidates of the counties are excepted from the provisions of the above section: Del Norte, Humboldt, Shasta and Mendocino. Every person who, in the counties of San Bernardino or Los Angeles, between the first day of April of any year and the first day of August of the same year, or who, in any other of the counties of the State, excepting the counties of Lassen, Plumas and Sierra, between the fifteenth day of March and the fifteenth day of September in each year, takes, kills or destroys quail, partridge, or grouse, mallard, wood, teal, spoonbill, or any kind of broad-bill duck, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Westminster Items. From our regular correspondent. On Tuesday we had a regular Nor-Wester—a sand storm—and everything indoors and out of doors bears its mark, being covered with sand and dust. Everyone and everything is unpleasantly gritty. The wind did not blow so hard nor so long as during the sand storm of last April. Still we ask for no more favors in that line. Parties who were out at the time formed different opinions of the delights of our Semi-Tropical climate. Men who were compelled to travel thought it fearful, and a party who were out on a pleasure trip, claimed to have enjoyed it very much. Probably the surroundings caused the varied opinions. We can readily understand how trinity persons who got lost that night between here and Los Angeles can call it "fearful." It is impossible to say how much or how little damage has been done. Fruit does not show any ill effects yet; much of it is too large to be damaged by wind or frost, and we hope to have good fruit crops this season. A large area had been planted with corn and much of it was up and growing rapidly. It would be strange if in such a drifting sand some of it was not injured. Planting is still going on; every one feeling confident that all crops will command high prices this year. One man here thinks no potatoes can equal Humboldt, and has imported a quantity from San Francisco to plant. On Friday Mr. Geo. Woodington injured his hand quite badly while pulling the pipe from J. D. Young's well north of here. Taylor & McCoy are boring a 7-inch well on W. Mallet's land south of Dr. Gregory; Caldwell & Chase finished Mr. Mills' well, getting 3½ inches at 155 feet. They are now boring on S. Harris' land. G. M. Crittenden has finished his new well, 3¼ inches at 119 feet, and is boring a 7-inch well for Mr. Bowley. Much surprise is expressed that the wells bored this season are all such large ones. Formerly very few flowed more than an inch and a half, and the majority of them did not flow over 2 inches. Of the 21 wells bored here so far this season, there are only 6 flowing less than two inches and 12 flow from 2 to 3¼ inches. This is pretty good for a dry season. Mrs. Nina Larowe and Miss Anna Livingston gave one of their entertainments in the hall on Saturday evening. If early notice had been given, more of our people would have attended. Not being there, we can give no report. The afternoon our school closed, a resolution was passed asking the Trustees to take steps to secure Mr. Butterfield and Miss Anderson for the next year. To further show the unanimous desire on the part of the people here to have no change in the school, petition has been circulated making the same request of the Trustees as that contained in the resolution passed at the school-house. About forty of the taxpayers of the District have signed the petition, and only three have refused to sign it. Such unanimity is commendable and speaks volumes for the teachers. A Good Templars Lodge is to be organized here more than the requisite number of dependent, or even Republican, as the case may be. He don't like to see others go against the Democratic party. But he defeated Jack King, the regular Democratic candidate for the Senate, eight years ago, by affiliating with the Black Republicans, and he also did all he could against Kewen five years ago. His friends tried to get him the Independent nomination for Senator four years ago, but the Republicans, as well as the Democrats, concluded that the time had arrived to place the old gentleman on the shelf. And there he is, and there he will remain. Of course, as we intend to support the candidates of the Republican party for the Legislature, it would be nuts for us to see the Democrats put up either Kewen or Wilson, as that would at once insure the election of the Republican candidate for Senator. We are afraid of Smith or Godfrey. The latter gentleman is to-day the strongest man the Democrats have in their party in the county. He is able, sound, and generally attractive. He is a Democrat with a patriotic record; he is a lawyer of fair ability and an excellent reputation; an ex-officer who has distinguished himself in the field, and a citizen of good standing. In fine, he is a soldier, a scholar and a gentleman. The next strongest Democrat for the position named is Col. Smith. But he isn't near so strong as Godfrey. It may be said of the latter that he is now holding an office and has not been long enough in the county to aspire for Senatorial honors. Yet the people like him, nevertheless. All in all, however, Major E. M. Ross, as we stated the other day, will run the best before the Convention, because the men who "manipulate things" will it. But there may be a change in the programme. Ross has sterling qualities, and would do great credit to himself and county as Senator. Italy wants 15,000,000 lires. There's a chance for the Americans who would like to go abroad. Georgia paid last year $3,500,000 for material to fertilize her lands, and the average product of her cotton per acre is reported as a little less than 250 per cent. The total immigration from the United Kingdom during 1876 was 138,222, and the immigration 91,647. This is a smaller excess of immigrants over immigrants than for any year since the Irish exodus began. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. A visit to Tustin, this week convinced us of the future importance of that city. Mr. Burrows, the young gentleman that was unfortunately shot in the eye, is we learn, fearful that the sight will be lost. A regular Wilmington blow visited this section on Tuesday last. We heard a gentleman from Compton state that real estate agents at that place and Los Angeles misrepresented this locality at a fearful rate. He was very much surprised to find that Orange was a beautiful inhabited valley. Messrs. Butler and Peters have organized a dancing school with Mr. L. Gopper as teacher. Mr. Chas. Stime says notwithstanding the Gazette gave him a boy, and the two Santa Ana papers a girl he couldn't tell which was right. The corn crop promises to be "way up" this season in this vicinity. The afternoon our school closed, a resolution was passed making the Trustees to take steps to secure Mr. Butterfield and Miss Anderson for the next year. To further show the unanimous desire on the part of the people here to have no change in the school, a petition has been circulated making the same request of the Trustees as that contained in the resolution passed at the school-house. About forty of the taxpayers of the District have signed the petition, and only three have refused to sign it. Such unanimity is commendable and speaks volumes for the teachers. A Good Templars Lodge is to be organized here, more than the requisite number of names having been obtained. This move should; and we believe will, receive full and cordial support. It is true that "union is strength," and a hearty union among our people in behalf and support of temperance will enable us to ward off any attempt on the part of others to start a saloon here. We are sorry to say such an attempt has been and is now being made, though it would seem a very unwise step for any one to take. W. H. Marquis has purchased a town lot of the Land Co., east of the school house, and has already plowed it and set out trees and shrubs. About four o'clock this morning we had quite an earthquake shock—the heaviest we have felt in Southern California. A few dishes were damaged and persons unacustomed to waking early had their morning nap disturbed, but we hear of no other damage. The shock was accompanied by quite a report that startled many of our people. April 12th, 1877. J.T. A son of Senator Morton will hereafter superintend the killing of scals in Alaska; Mr. Morton should see that privilege of killing scals is not abused, and other people should see that young Mr. John Morton does not make any money outside his salary.—New York Herald. Three years ago the visitors at the Peqotn House, New London, were startled when they sat down to breakfast by the appearance of a very well-looking lady guest with a pair of whiskers that thousands of men would envy.
