WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...APRIL 21, 1877. Church Meetings. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH EGULAR BROTHER H.A.M. and 7:30 P.M. BAYWAY EPISCOPAL CHURCH REV. O. M. HUBBARD, Pastor. Herbal medicine every day morning at 11 o'clock. Heinigkeiten. [FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.] Mr. Hanna is now delivering rich, pure milk in Anaheim. A petition is being very numerously signed asking for the re-appointment of Postmaster Higgins. "Opening day" at Mrs. Brown's millinery store was a busy one for that lady. The display of fine goods were much admired by the ladies who thronged the store from morning until night. It is stated that the distance between San Francisco and Tucson will be reduced to five days' travel when the railway is complete to Yuma. Under the old regime of steamers and stage it required nearly five weeks to accomplish the journey. Herald: Vice-President Hendricks will return from the "Loot" on Wednesday. He will go out to see his friends in the Indiana Colony. Before he leaves for San Francisco the Democracy will tender him a pleasant little serenade. It will be a purely social affair, as Mr. Hendricks desires to travel in an entirely private and unostentations manner. Star: To show our readers that the great trotting programme is all right, we print the following telegram which we received yesterday from Mr. Doble: "Will send down James Howard, who is authorized to act as agent for us, and who will assist you in any way you may desire. Will advertise as you The case of the People vs. Mary Brown came up before Judge Bailey yesterday morning. The whole forenoon was consumed in getting an unbiased jury. The prosecution, represented by Meera, Wicka and Lynill, introduced a number of witnesses who testified that the character of the house kept by defendant was bad; that loud, nocturnous noise issue therefrom at unsurely hours of the night; that the habits of the inmates are not such as would lead one to believe them as pure as the driven snow; that "the girls" are in the habit of playing cricket and making gyrations with the innocent but necessary mallet not strictly compatible with a modest behavior, etc., etc. After the prosecution rested their case, the attorney for the defense, A. C. Baker, moved for the discharge of the defendant on the ground that common repute is not sufficient evidence to convict. The Court overruled the motion. For the defense Mrs. Brown was put upon the stand. Her testimony was to the effect that she kept an orderly house; allowed no drunken people in it when she could prevent it; never used liquor herself; was charitable to the poor, kind to the sick, and pumped water when there was a fire; was willing to leave the town if the citizens wanted her to leave; only asked them to buy her property at a fair valuation; tried to do what was right, etc. The summing up of the respective counsel amounted in brilliant metaphor and fantastic figures of legal poetry, and at times matched such a height of metaphysical sublimity as to be absolutely bewildering. The case was given to the jury about 5 o'clock and at 7:30 they came into Court and announced their inability to agree. They were discharged and the case will come up again for trial on Friday morning at 9 o'clock. The jury stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction. The case of the inmates of the house will come up for trial this morning.

Before he leaves for San Francisco the Democracy will tender him a pleasant little screnade. It will be a purely social affair, as Mr. Hendricks desires to travel in an entirely private and unnotestations manner. Star: To show our readers that the great trotting programme is all right, we print the following telegram which we received yesterday from Mr. Doble: "Will send down James Howard, who is authorized to act as agent for us, and who will assist you in any way you may desire. Will advertise as you suggest. Believe in very liberal advertising. Never saw the time it did not pay." Herrera Prol. Money showed us this morning a fiber taken from the Manghy tree, we would consider an excellent substitute for hemp, in the manufacture of rope and course fabrics. The tree has long been known to the Indians, we are informed, and they utilize it extensively for thread and cords. Perhaps there is a latent industry in this material which would pay some one handsomely to develop. The true inwardness of the late shooting affray has at length been discovered—at least the solution coincides with all the known facts and is accepted by everybody as correct. He seems that a jealousy in regard to prowess had existed for some time between Ramon Sepulveda and Aguilar, and on Friday evening the two, being inflamed with drink, boasts correspondingly boastful. Sepulveda approached Aguilar and sneeringly asked him if he was "King." Aguilar replied that such was his opinion; and if Sepulveda didn't like it, he could sail in and demolish all vestiges of his [Aguilar's] pretensions to the royal title. Sepulveda sailed in accordingly, and with a knife made three severe gashes on the kingly body. Aguilar, in self defense, drew his pistol and was about to fire at his assailant when Romo stepped in and seized the hand that held the weapon. Just as helid so, the pistol went off, with disastrous consequences to the would be peacemaker. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] Our advertising columns this morning contain notices of a horse race and an election—two events of equal general interest. A battery case, in which the plaintiff and defendant were Chinese, was tried in Judge Clark's Court yesterday, and a time of $20 was imposed on the defendant. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: Two boxes butter, 3 bales sheep pelts, 117 bales wool, 1 bbl coal tar, 11 bales hay, 2 kgs Cal. wine. In Pomona a few weeks ago grasshoppers latched out in abundance, but large flocks of blackbirds have made their appearance and are exterminating the hopper with commendable rendition. The Herald chuckles over the fact that so many men are willing to accept the Democratic nomination for State Senator. As if there was ever any lack of candidates for that or any other office.

"Blind staggers," a very fatal disease, is killing horses in Santa Ana. In the case of the people vs. Libbie Roe, Carrie Williams and Jesus Cota, the verdict of the jury was "not guilty." Gen. Banning, it is said, will hereafter reside at Yuma, he having been appointed Superintendent of the Colorado Steam Navigation Company. We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Northam to at once have the right of way for the ditch condemned, should the Yorbas persist in refusing to sign the agreement required by the company. Mr. Kellogg told us yesterday that there was only about 10,000 sacks of rye in the State, and singularly enough, it is only quoted at $1 S0, whereas at harvest time it was quoted at $2. The County Judgeship is a prize to which many aspire. Judge O'Melveny will be a candidate for re-election; Judge Gray wants it; A. M. Stephens would like to have it; Gen. V. E. Howard wouldn't mind taking it; and Chas. J. Ellis has a hankering after it. Mr. Murder, of the firm of Murder, Luse & Co., type founders of Chicago and San Francisco, arrived on the train last evening. A pressure of business compelled him to commence his return trip this morning, a proceeding which he regrets as much as we do. We were shown this week, at Lake's store, some specimens of onions and grapes dried at the Alden works, in Anaheim. They demonstrate the superiority of the Alden dried over the sun-dried fruit, retaining the natural juice with all the richness of flavor of the natural fruit. The Gospel Swamp correspondent of the Santa Ana Times says: We learn that the Fountain Valley Land League have decided not to send Judge Allen to Washington. The Garden Grove and Westminster League have employed him to look into the Las Bolsas grant. They have raised $1,800 for this purpose. The report comes for the fruit crop in the short. The general coords and the blossom vitality and fall from places fruit that is set—falls in the very same on these trees are enticing showing the germ to leading nurserymans Santa Barbara says: very general in 71, a atmospheric influence which is much the same year. Apple trees do Barbara until June tion some of the peaches in the way we have trees are loaded with fall, and are growing pears will not be a fine many of them blossoms seemed more healthy. Mr. Strong has demurs nursery, and the story growing nicely. He small oranges on a 6 ft rained here Sunning. The Presbyterian hall on Tuesday evenings gramme has been prepared to increase their receipt of strawberries. J. A. McFadden in Howe at Garden Grove got a large well for M at 143 feet. They ate Gates' land, near Mr Taylor finished Mr. inches at 120 feet, after for Mr John Edwards Miss Kate King Monday morning with her mother have remitted Shaw's house. Messrs. Hunly, M San Francisco paid and said everything any place they had Hollister sections country they reported away. Assesser L. J. L his annual question Mr. M. L. Kreum County Tax College In Pomona a few weeks ago grasshoppers hatched out in abundance, but large flocks of blackbirds have made their appearance and are exterminating the hopper with commendable rapidity. The Herald chuckles over the fact that so many men are willing to accept the Democratic nomination for State Senator. As if there was ever any lack of candidates for that or any other office. Dr. E. A. Prenss, formerly of Los Angeles, died suddenly at Santa Cruz on Tuesday morning. He was sitting in a chair in his drug store at that place when he was stricken with an opiate stroke. The Santa Ana Odd Fellows have invited Past-Grand Master Wm. H. Hill, of Los Angeles, to deliver an address on the 26th anniv. of the founding of Odd Fellowship in the United States. We learn that the Anaheim lodges will be the guests of their Santa Ana brethren. Mr. Hayward found that hotel-keeping was not his forte, and abandoned that line of business yesterday morning after breakfast. The Anaheim Hotel was closed during the day, but before supper-time it had been leased by Mr. D. Cooper, and was in full running order again. Mr. Cooper will endeavor to make public recognition by a strict attention to the wants of the patrons of his establishment. Dr. Geo. H. Bailey has purchased ten acres of land near the depot from Richard Heimann, and will immediately commence planting trees on his acquisition. The doctor has also purchased a house and lot on Sycamore street, east of Rev. Dr. Kellogg's residence, in which he intends to take up his permanent residence. We are glad that the Doctor considers himself a fixture among us. About 2 o'clock yesterday morning Marshal Wartenberg brought Jose Maria Aguilar into town, that worthy having sent for the officer to arrest him, thus fulfilling the predictions heretofore made. The examination will take place this morning before Judge Bailey. The defense will be substantially the same as outlined in yesterday's Gazette—namely, that the shot was fired at Sepulveda in self-defense. The Gospel Swamp correspondent of the Santa Ana Times says: We learn that the Fountain Valley Land League have decided not to send Judge Allen to Washington. The Garden Grove and Westminster League have employed him to look into the Las Bolsas grant. They have raised $1,800 for this purpose. Aguilar was held to await the action of the Grand Jury, with bonds fixed at $5,000. Marshal Wartenburg has the prisoner in charge. The friends of the murdered man are so incensed, that it was deemed wise to take all proper precautions to prevent them from wreaking summary vengeance, and the Marshal last night summoned a poesie of ten men to assist him in taking care of the prisoner. When in Anaheim, do as the Romans do. Trials have been made in the classic city of Rome of a solution of chloride of calcium as a substitute for water in laying dust in streets, and the results are said to have been highly satisfactory. The dampness communicated to the road remains for a whole week. The road remains damp without being muddy; presenting a hard surface, on which neither the wind nor the passing of pedestrians or horses has any effect. The great increase of population and consequent addition to the postal business in this section, has necessitated advancing the Anaheim Post-office from the fourth to the third-class. All postmasters who receive a salary of over $1,000 per year (as is the case in Anaheim) are appointed by the President, which appointment must be confirmed by the Senate. These formalities having been gone through with, and a sufficient bond having been given, a commission is issued for four years, at the end of which time it is in order to reappoint some one else. This will explain why a petition for the appointment of Postmaster Higgins has been circulated; and it is a feather in that official's cap to know that not only is there no opposing aspirant for the position, but his re-appointment is generally desired, if the aliquity with which the petition is being signed may be taken as an indication. Herald: Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock three carriages left Los Angeles for the San Gabriel valley, to meet Gov. Hendricks and party and take him on a flying inspection of that region, winding up with a visit to the Indiana Colony. The first carriage, which was intended to convey Gov. Hendricks, was drawn by four white horses. Gov. Hendricks and party, consisting of himself, Col. Charles Crocker, Gen. D. D. Colton, Col. Grey, and a gentleman whose name we did not learn, were prompt in the arrival from Yuma. The party from Los Angeles who took them in charge consisted of Mayor McDongall, Ex-Senator Bush, the Messra Wallace Woodworth, C. E. Miles, Athearn, of the Anaheim Gazette, and the editor of the Herald. Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. The American Cultivator tells of a ten-acre farm forty miles from Boston that "supports three cows, produces 890 pounds of butter, raises 600 pounds of pork from skin milk and waste, feeds five hogs that produces 71 pigs during the year—hogs and pigs selling for $450—raised an acre of cabbage, the product selling for $410; grew an acre of vegetables for village sale, besides keeping a horse—netting over $1,000. The whole product is the result of one active man's labor." Yet many men tell us "it pays best to grow one staple crop." It will not be long before the plan adopted by this Massachusetts man will be more generally carried out in this section—man raising and producing everything and buying little. We were pleased with the editorial on "Fairs" in last week's Gazette, and hope the ball you have set in motion will keep rolling. But such a move, to prove successful, must be entered into free from all local differences, and with but one end in view—the building up of this part of the county. We see that farmers and stock-breeders in the upper part of the State, complain of the State Agricultural Society in the same way you do of the Los Angeles Society. And all through this and other States the same complaints are and will be heard until the farmers organize societies of their own. From all parts of the State we hear of the "norther" we had on the 10th. Parties from here who were in Santa Barbara tell us the wind was terrible there, blowing with fearful force from Saturday until Tuesday night. And yet that place is claimed to be "protected from all winds." At Riverside and San Bernardino the gravel stones were carried Mr. W. L. Oge, of the foot-hills, above Orting, was in town last week. He states that he is situated above the famous "frost level." This place presents the finest opening in the county for a first-class dentist. Can't you send us one? The jury in the case of the People vs. Taylor agreed to disagree, standing two for conviction, and ten for acquittal. Mr. R. R. Staples, one of the most intelligent bemen of the Trabuco Canyon, was in town last week. Bishop Moeser was in town Saturday. He is thinking of taking up his residence in Santa Ana. Mr. Berry, of "Wantage," is about to bore for another artesian well. Mr. Dodge's residence, east of town, is rapidly nearing completion. Judge Johnson has joined the "never sweats." He is in favor of State, county and township division. Fred Renter says his "tog's name is not Fritzy. It's not dot kind of a tog." Prof. Andrews reports that the flow from his well continues steadily at twenty inches. Veni Vidi has "vamosed the ranch." The turpentine imbiber will soon be able to be around. A sufficient amount of money has been subscribed by the public-spirited portion of our citizens, to flood and irrigate the Public Park. As a matter of course, that small band of patriots of the "never sweat" persuasion failed to "put up" anything. Mr. J. Williams of Gospel Swamp is down 303 feet and has obtained no flow of water that amounts to anything. He is now compelled to pull up all the pipe. Mr. Lewis, of Los Angeles, was in town last Tuesday, perfecting arrangements to enter into the drug business. Conductor Ed. Mateer was in town Tuesday evening. His brother recently from the East, accompanied him. One of our solons of the medical persuasion has been offered the position of "Medical Director" in the "Tower of Tears" in St. Louis, Mo., but has not yet accepted the position. Mr. and Mrs. Jae. McFadden started last Tuesday on a visit to their old home in New York. Mr. T. A. Blair starts for the same place on Friday, the 20th inst. Curtis Cummins, the deaf-mute type of the News, says there is no such word in the dictionary as "drah pohquier." Mr. N. Laimburg, of San Francisco, is lying dangerously ill at the residence of Mr. C.

From all parts of the State we hear of the "norther" we had on the 10th. Parties from here who were in Santa Barbara tell us the wind was terriffic there, blowing with fearful force from Saturday until Tuesday night. And yet that place is claimed to be "protected from all winds." At Riverside and San Bernardino the gravel stones were carried along with the wind, striking travelers in such a way as to make it almost impossible for any one to face the storm. Where any kind of wind-break was provided no trace of the blow is seen, and we have been surprised to see how little it takes to protect gardens, etc. Mr. Treafethern has a fence around his garden, and though outside of the fence the surface is ridged, everything inside is smooth and fresh. Close hedges are not needed to break the force of these annual "northers," but we will need rows of Monterey Cypress, Blue Gum or some other trees about our places for protection. The report comes from every direction that the fruit crop in this State will be very short. The general complaint is that the fruit buds and the blossoms seem to have lost all vitality and fall from the trees; and in many places fruit that is set—some of them large—falls in the very same way; and where sets on these trees are cut open the heart is black, showing the germ to be dead. Mr. Saxon, a leading nurseryman and fruit grower of Santa Barbara, says this same trouble was very general in 71, and attributes it to some atmospheric influence caused by the drought which is much the same as it was that year. Apple trees did not leaf out in Santa Barbara until June that year. In this section some of the peach trees seem to be affected in the way we have spoken of, but apricot trees are loaded with fruit; almonds do not fall, and are growing rapidly; peaches and pears will not be a full crop; apples have not many of them blossomed yet; grapes never seemed more healthy or promising than now. Mr. Strong has doubled the size of his nursery, and the stock, large and small, is growing nicely. He showed us blossoms and small oranges on a 6-year-old seedling tree. It rained here Sunday afternoon and evening. The Presbyterian sociable will meet in the hall on Tuesday evening. A pleasing programme has been prepared. The ladies hope to increase their receipts that evening by the sale of strawberries and cake. J. A. McFadden is boring a well for Deacon Howe at Garden Grove Calwell and Chase got a large well for Mr. Seth Harris—4 inches at 143 feet. They are now boring on Mr. Gates' land, near M. Bessonett's. McCoy & Taylor finished Mr. Mallet's well, getting 3½ inches at 120 feet, and are now sinking one for Mr. John Edwards. Miss Kate King opened her school on Monday morning with 21 pupils. She and her mother have rented and moved into Mrs. Shaw's house. Messrs Hunly, McPherson and Marion, of San Francisco, paid this place a little visit and said everything looked better here than any place they had seen. The Gilroy and Hollister sections, and the San Joaquin country they report burned up and blown away. Assesser L. J. Lockhart has been asking his annual questions. Mr. M. L. Kremer, of Los Angeles, the County Tax Collector, is here to rusticate One of our solons of the medical persuasion has been offered the position of "Medical Director" in the "Tower of Tears" in St. Louis, Mo., but has not yet accepted the position.

Orange items: REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. A bonanza awaits the man who will open a boot and shoe shop in Orange. Several hundred dollars have left this town for that one article, well pipe. This would have helped to line the pockets of a tinswitt. A good tin-shop would pay here besides this branch of industry. While looking around over the country, we could not but notice that this vicinity afforded as fine and in many respects better prospects for crops than many sections that have been looked upon heretofore as being unexcelled farming districts. With a moderate supply of water this valley would produce where on the damp lands they must have, you might say, an overplus. The recent rains washed out a portion of the wing dam at the mouth of the zanja. There are several hundred orange trees in bloom varying from one to six years old in this vicinity, and quite a number less than one year old. Mr. Hall has taken possession of his place recently purchased of J. C. Hill. Mr. Hill moves on to the Bramwell ranch. Married, on the 12th inst., at the residence of A. T. Harris Esq., Mr. Chas Harris to Miss Haile, both of Orange. If we knew how, we would say something real pretty. We hope that you will enjoy many big and little blessings, and live several years happy! happy! Wanted! An unlimited amount of blue glass to paste over the mouths of back-biters, so to speak. The Czar is too late with his war; not long since we could have furnished several subjects for his army, but now they are all at honest work. Save your bacon, beans and hominy, for the war has been born, and grub will surely advance. It requires from two to two and a half heads of water at Orange to make one good head at either Santa Ana or Tustin. So much for being three miles nearer the fountain head. D.C. C Hayward, of the Semi-Tropical nursery, shipped this week 2 carloads of orange trees. Fletcher and Toberman, 2½ miles north, have several hundred acres of the finest barley we have seen in the county. Twice the amount of corn will be raised in this vicinity than in any other year. The dancing school every Thursday evening proves to be a success, and we are assured the instructor proposes teaching manners as well as grace. A little blue glass used judiciously by the fair sex would give us a chance to chronicle more marriages they say. Trav it.

Heretofore, we have had to meet him in Anaheim or go to Los Angeles to pay our taxes. Mr. Strong has just set out over 200 roses in front of his house. McCoy & Gregory have received a stock of fine toilet soap, perfumery and fancy articles. They expect a stock of choice confectionery this week. The Methodist society have bought Mr. Thos. Edwards' organ. Alward Bros. & Co. have started a circulating library. They have a number of popular works, and will soon have several more. We need a shoemaker here, and a good, steady workman would be kept busy. Several parties have sold their corn this week for $165 per cwt. Corn-shellers are kept very busily at work now. J. T. April 10th. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Dr. Jones and Judge Rushing are officeing together in the Star Restaurant. Mr. Gran Spurgeon is building a neat residence on Main street, above Fifth. He states that it is not being built on the quincunx principle. Anaheim and Santa Ana representatives indulged in a huge game of "drah poquier" at this place on the 9th and 10th inst., in which the former were compelled to walk off on their ear. A crazy Spaniard assaulted Messrs. French and Stafford, on last Tuesday. Some head-punching took place in one of our butcher-shops on the same day. We must have a town organization and a calaboose. Mr. Keim has given up his position as foreman of the News, to return with his father to Montana. The warmest wishes of the many friends he acquired here, accompany him. Mr. Rushing, Jr. takes his place. We see by the Gazette of the 5th inst., that your Orange correspondent has made a discovery—a "valley" hitherto unknown to the oldest inhabitant. The town of York, Ms., claims to have been the earliest incorporated town in America. In 1841 Sir Ferdinando Gorges, to perpetuate his reputation as land proprietor, gave the plantation of York the name of Georgiana and gave it a charter of incorporation as a city, governed by a Mayor and eight Aldermen.
