Letters were received on Monday from Adolph Rimpau, announcing his safe arrival at Soda Lake with his sheep. The following were the shipments from Anaheim per steamer Senator, May 7th: 622 packs corn, 31 bales wool, 11 pipes wine. The Hotel and Building Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon, and adjourned to meet again at the call of the President. If a negro cannot have a yellow dog, he will put up with a yellow horse, and has even been known to gracefully accept a yellow cat. Mr. W. M. Higgins has been re-appointed Postmaster at Anaheim. The citizens of Anaheim will be well pleased at the re-appointment of the Doctor to the office he has so long and ably filled. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 13 pkgs household goods, 2 kegs wine, 1 sack peanuts, 18 joints well pipe, 8 pkgs gas pipe and tools, 2 boxes groceries, 1 helle pelis, 1 empty barrel, 1 half bill wine, 1 box butter, 1 box dried fruit, 140 packs barley, 7 kegs beer, 17 pkgs household goods. Among the excitement which made our town lively yesterday was an impressive Ten cars of cattle were shipped this morning by Don Juan Forster. The cattle are in splendid order and will no doubt make as fine beef as any in the San Francisco market. The San Luis Rey correspondent of the San Diego Union says: "Mr. Boston, of San Joaquin Rancho, Los Angeles county, has rented the lands in the San Luis Rey Valley. Mr. Bennett has on his place near town a tree upon which he has grafted apricot, plum, almond, nectarine, and four or five varieties of peach. The various varieties are growing well. It is with no small amount of pleasure that we give place this morning to a letter from Mr. Frank Murtha. When the gentleman was transferred from Anaheim to Cahazon Station, we requested him to act as our correspondent, and it seems that he has just remembered his promise to do so. But he has our forgiveness and blessing, if he will only continue to send us an occasional epistle as interciting as the one we publish this morning. A propos to our notice of the Aquarium in another column, is the following from the New York Sun: "Zach Coup, who is at the head of an expedition in search of whales for the Aquarium, has determined to build the trap tank on the island of Condrea. The island, he says, is inhabited by French half-breeds, who are ignorant and superstitious. At first they refused to allow a whale to be caught off their shores, lest it might bring them ill luck; but they consented on condition that the priest of the island should sanctify the act by formally blessing the expedition. This was done." A galoot by the name of Dooner entered the office of the Los Angeles Star, on Tuesday afternoon, and demanded from the editor, Major Truman, an apology for certain statements made by the Star. Truman replied that the statements could be substantiated whereupon Dooner made a motion with his hand as if to draw a weapon. Before he could do so, however, Truman gave him one on his nob, sending him to grass, and followed up his advantage by pummeling his antagonist with a hearty vigor and to the discomfiture of his (Truman's) knuckles. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 13 pkgs household goods, 2 kegs wine, 1 sack peanuts, 18 joints well pipe, 8 pkgs gas pipe and tools, 2 boxes groceries, 1 bdle pelts, 1 empty barrel, 1 half bbl wine, 1 box butter, 1 box dried fruit, 140 sacks barley, 7 kegs beer, 17 pkgs household goods. Among the excitement which made our town lively yesterday was an impromptu foot race between two Knights of the Turf, on Los Angeles street. The proverb is decidedly true that "the race is not always to the swift," for had it been, neither would have won. Freight for the following persons was received at Anaheim Landing on May 7th, per steamer Senator; A Bros & Co, 7 pkgs rakes; A Specs, 13 pkgs lumber; A L. 6 pkgs mdse; D H Johnston, 1 case mdse; H Werder, 7 empty pipes; W H & Co, 100 sacks flour; S Layman, 10 pkgs reaper; L Goldsmith, 95 pkgs mdse; H H Harper, 10 pkgs h goods; W H Spurgeon, 2 pkgs mdse. A granger from the country stated to one of the "law-abiding," truth-loving citizens of our town, that a man could not stand on his feet and reaching above his head touch the top of the granger's corn. Our indignant citizen's fears for the salvation of the granger's soul were quieted upon the granger informing him that a man would have to reach down instead of up to touch the top of his corn. Pete Richards has managed to so hurry matters along as to be able to open J. P. Zeyn's new saloon, of which he is manager, this evening; and in order to properly celebrate that event, he hereby extends an invitation to all his friends, to partake of a free lunch at his new place of business this evening. As that part of the business will be gotten up under the supervision of Mr. Menzel, it is needless to say that it will be a toothsome and elegant repast. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: J B Saharek, 36 pkgs mdse, 6 sacks flour; J A Williams, 1 sack flour, 2 sacks meal, 4 pkgs mdse; M J Bundy, 10 pkgs mdse; Reiser's Brewery, 10 beer kegs; F & J Backs, 11 pkgs mdse; Webster, Howe & Co, 29 boxes soap; Cahen & Wilard, 2 butter boxes: L A Carey & Sona, 1 plow; P Davis & Bro, 1 bale sacks; 1 bale twine; E Deak, 1 sewing-machine; C M Woodruff, 5 boxes oranges; A G Beebe, 4 boxes oranges.

The new Board of Trustees will meet tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, to organize. Justice Clark's office is to be removed to the Anaheim Hotel, in the room adjoining the office of the Los Angeles Star, on Tuesday afternoon, and demanded from the editor, Major Truman, an apology for certain statements made by the Star. Truman replied that the statements could be substantiated whereupon Dooner made a motion with his hand as if to draw a weapon. Before he could do so, however, Truman gave him one on his nob, sending him to grass, and followed up his advantage by pummeling his antagonist with a hearty vigor and to the discomfiture of his (Truman's) knuckles. Freight for the following person was received at the depot last night: Andrew & Parker, 5 pkgs mdse; Wong Yon, 1 mat mdse; M J Bundy, 1 machine knife, 1 box'extras, 2 cases coal oil; Webater, Howe & Co., 100 joints well pipe; I Cohen, 40 sacks flour, 11 pkgs mdse; H McDermott, 1 pkge mdse; C Mossman, 2pkgs mdse; C M Woodruff, 1 box oranges; H Cohn, 1 case coal oil; Yates & Sizer, 2pkgs mdse; E W Squires, 1 trunk; A Henry, 5 pkgs pump; J J Williams, 20 boxes apples; H W Lake, 13 pkgs candy. Our newly elected Town Trustee, Mr. Kirby entertained a few of his friends in a hospitable manner last evening and was himself the recipient of a present not so remarkable for its intrinsic value as for its true inwardness. Judge Levering informs the Herald that he is obliged to bring his bees in from Sepulveda Canyon feed is so short thereabouts. A number of neighboring apiarists have lost their bees altogether. The cattle and sheep yards at the Anaheim depot are now best on the road. They are large and well supplied with water, there being troughs for both cattle and sheep in all the corrals. We called upon Pete Richards at his new quarters yesterday. Everything is fitted up in splendid shape, and the liquors, so far as we were able to judge, are of the finest quality. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 1 box household goods, 1 box butter, 1 sack Sumac, 9 kegs beer, 10 cars cattle. Pete put out a fine lunch last night at Zeyn's Saloon. Everything was of the choice description and arranged with great taste. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] Theo. Lynill has been admitted to practice as an attorney in all Courts in Southern California. From a Sacramento paper we learn that Rev. J. M. Allis preached in the Westminster Presbyterian church, at Sacramento, on last Sunday. One of the engines of the S. P. R. R. in backing down the track at Los Angeles yesterday ran against two horse wagon, capsizing the inmate. The公民 of Anaheim will be well pleased at the re-appointment of the Doctor to the office he has so long and ably filled.

A STRANGE PHENOMENON. Old Ocean on a Bender—He Behaves in a Hilarious and Unbecoming Manner. Anahkim Landing, May 10, 1877. Ed. Gazette:—The Landing seems to be determined to become notorious for picnics, sharks, etc., and now for an inexplicable phenomenon. Ever since the founding of this point of shipment, the ocean has been upon it with good behavior; the tides have been running in and out as regularly as clockwork, and all has gone on well and smoothly. As your readers mostly know, the tide runs in as a general thing from 5 to 7 hours, when it is highwater; then turning it runs out again for the same length of time, to low water, and so continues the year through in ceaseless motion. There are of course variations in the side, in its height or shallowness, depending somewhat on the moon, and also upon the time of year and state of weather. But today the ocean seemed to be on a rampage. It seemed to disregard all previous set rules and regulations and to do just as it pleased. The tide clerk must have been tight, or up in anaheim attending to the circus. At half past six A.M., when the tide ought to have been rising regularly, (at 8 was to be high water), the water suddenly rose up to about five feet in the course of five minutes. After being tossed and stirred up a few minutes, it suddenly rushed out again, and fell five or six feet in five minutes. The current was frightfully swift to look at in the creek. Two of the sailors just then coming in, in a small row boat, were suddenly carried far up into the seek beyond their destination. Then suddenly they were rushed back again, and rarely could make the shore before being carried out to sea. A lighter loaded withamber was being brought up the creek at the same time and became also unmanageable. The tide rushing in and out every five minutes, at such velocity, would at one time save the lighter high and dry upon the beach and again it would be floating in six eight feet of water. After having attempted a dozen times without success, to sing in the lighter, the puzzled Capt. Willy gave it up in disgust and anchored the latter out at sea. When the tide fell it would always leave a number of sharks and Santa And Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. It was definitely ascertained on Tuesday, at Judge Humphrey's court that the "never sweats," in their malicious prosecution case, did not represent the "People of California;" in fact, the decision rendered by the representatives of the people showed that they represented a very infinitesimal portion of the inhabitants of this mundane sphere. The boss fossil has gone into mourning and his adherents wear crape for thirty days. Selah! Mr. J. E. Crane, of Gospel Swamp, contemplates making an extensive trip, with his family, through the northern portion of the State within a short time. There are 4000 sacks of corn in Linington's warehouse at the present writing. The jury in the case of the "never sweats" against "Bion" rendered a verdict of "not guilty." Mr. W. H. Spurgeon has laid over 1000 ft. of the water mains on Fourth and Main Sts. This is a long-desired improvement. Ever since it was definitely ascertained that the typo-malarial epidemic that prevailed here in 1875 was caused mainly by surface water, the desirability of obtaining artesian water has been admitted. J. Pruitt Johnson's well in the Swamp has shared the same fate as Mr. Wakeham's, on the mea, and for the same cause—a sandy foundation of the pipe. It flowed 18 inches above a 7-inch pipe when the flow was first obtained. The remains of Mr. N. P. Limbaugh were sent to San Francisco on the 5th inst., in charge of Mr. C. C. Edinger, of this place. Mr. Frank Adama, the pioneer well borer of the county, crippled himself a short time ago by the fall of the lever attached to the well-boring apparatus. Mr. Athearn made a mistake a short time ago in a note he made of a trial going on when he was over here. He stated in Thursday's Daily of last week that it was the "people of California" against Dr. Burtnett, when in fact it was the boss fossil of the "never sweats" against that gentleman. Workmen are engaged in cleaning out the old water ditch between here and the Santiago creek. The water will be obtained from the lower or Watson ditch. Mr. J. H. Fruit is superintending the work. Gen. Titchenal says that you cannot get a jury to agree to do anything overhere; therefore he will make no arrests. The News knows all about it also, "You can't convict a man by jury trial in Santa Ana"—as though juries were made up for the sole purpose of convicting! Mr. J. V. Beck sets a splendid table and as two or three have found fault with our "puff" concerning the orators at the picnic, we take it all back; and instead of "one horse power," we will apologise by adding ("three donkeys"). Orange wants and will support a boot and shoe maker, harness maker, tin shop and restaurant. W. D. Morton, of the Times was in town with—well, no matter. He shows the effects of his recent illness, but is rapidly improving. Taylor & McCoy began boring for artesian water on Lockhart's ranch Tuesday morning. The well is located on the present grade of the railroad, and everything indicates a success which we hope may be realized. Dr Sax, of Santa Clara, paid us a flying visit last week. He is well pleased with Orange and Santa Ana valleys. He reports times about as close up there as down here. Mr. Mrs. Robinson, of Santa Ana, were in town last week. Mr. Earnest McGibbon now fills the position of Deputy Post Master, and also has a full supply of books, late papers, magazines, etc.; in fact, everything kept in a well regulated book store. R.L.Crowder & Co. have a wagon—yes, a wagon,and such a wagon you never saw. That wagon has four wheels and no two alike.Possibly the San Francisco implement dealer had on a full head of steam when it was put up or else the clerk hail a brick in his hat—can't say for sure. Mr. Thomas Hulse will come before the people this Fall as a candidate for Constable. We wish the young gentleman success,and know of no one that will fill the office better. Mr.Burrows,the gentleman that unfortunately received the wound in the eye,was in town yesterday,looking well.Hopes are entertained that sight will be restored to both eyes. Crockett Bowers tells us that business rushes him to such an extent that his moustache proves a failure. If the citizens allow two or three individuals to govern the lower ditch,what the devil is the use of a lower ditch? Echo answers: "d—f—on all sides." We are informed that a good druggist can purchase the Orange drug store cheaper than the goods cost in San Francisco. We were pleased to learn that Mr.John West had received an appointment.No better boy could be found to fill the position as an assistant to the most important office in the county. Cloudy weather has prevailed for the last few days.XYZ. May 8th. Anaheim Literary Society. The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Scott & Montgomery's office Monday evening. Mr. Wm. M. McFad was chosen Chairman pro tem. The foliage officers were elected to serve for the term of eight weeks: President, D. Payne; Vice President, Theo. Lynn; Secretary, Robt. Brown; Treasurer, Fred. Spani; Sergeant-at-Arms, W. H. Henderson; Mr. W. H. Henderson was chosen Annsarian, to deliver an address to the memorial of the Society at a meeting to be held after June 10th. The treasurer present is report, showing a balance on hand of Mr. C. E. Leonard was admitted as a member of the society. The bill of H. Kroe-amounting to $10, was allowed. The swing members were suspended for non-ment of dues for the past six months: W. Persson, C. Calloway, Tim Carroll, F. M. Hall, T. J. Cartwright. The Society then turned to meet in Kroeger’s Hall on the eing of the 14th instant. The Fire Company's Meeting. The Anaheim Fire Company held a meeting in the hall over Zeyn’s saloon on Wednesday evening. The Chief reported that Conrad’s Tivoli men had been engaged for the pic-nic May 20th. The Committee on Music reported that Bands could be secured for the occasion other committees reported satisfactory press. Competition requesting the company to give the day of the pic-nic to some day than Sunday was presented, and after discussion a motion to reconsider the loss, and the first day appointed will be shared to. Meeting them adjourned to meet Wednesday, May 16th. Board of Supervisors Workmen are engaged in cleaning out the old water ditch between here and the Santiago creek. The water will be obtained from the lower or Watson ditch. Mr. J. H. Fruit is superintending the work. Gen. Titchenal says that you cannot get a jury to agree to do anything overhere; therefore he will make no arrests. The News knows all about it also, “You can’t convict a man by jury trial in Santa Ana”—as though juries were made up for the sole purpose of convicting! Mr. J. V. Beck sets a splendid table and keeps good beds, etc., and everything pertaining to a first class hostelie. Messrs. Brown and Fruit have just finished their third artesian well on their Swamp farm, the last one flowing 1½ inches over a 10 inch pipe. The two wells on the hog ranch belonging to Fruit, Walton and Linington, et al., supplies all the water necessary for all purposes. Veni Vidi will soon recover from that dose of turpentine, and you will hear from him again, we hope. We were misinformed in regard to Mr. Ott receiving $2 15 per cental for his corn. He received $1 70, delivered at the Anaheim Landing. Mr. Buck is our informant this time. The jury that we were tried by was an exception to the rule laid down in our items week before last; and you have to have exceptions, you know, in order to prove the rule. Mr. Charlie Miles was down here some time ago. He says that the other candidates are getting rather uneasy, but it don’t bother him any. Mr. Grant Harris and Allie Haywood have returned from Santa Catalina island, loaded with trophies, shells of all descriptions, and over one hundred pounds of fish. The last letter of B. F. Wade, of Ohio, an ex-Senator of that State, mentions one Ward Lamson, who is the reputed author of a work called the “Life of Abraham Lincoln.” It is generally known by all book publishers and sellers throughout the East that Jere Black, a man of acknowledged ability in Pennsylvania, was the real author of the work, and in all respectable book-stores the employees or clerks, are directed to mention the fact to all persons showing a disposition to purchase said book, as it is a lying slander upon the ex-President. The radicalism of old Ben Wade may be criticised, but his political or personal honesty cannot be questioned, and a man that can be hired to shoulder the authorship of the work referred to, to do the dirty work of his intellectual superior, such as Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, is unworthy of belief, and intelligent public opinion should not be influenced by a venal public press against such a man as Senator Wade, of Ohio, in favor of a man of Ward Lamson’s well-known character. Judge Rushing sustained, last Wednesday, the brilliant reputation he established in Anaheim some time ago. “Nothing succeeds like success,” said Horace Greeley. Dr. J. S. Canningham, of this place, died in this place last Saturday, after a short illness. Dr. J. A. Crane, of San Juan Capistrano, is in town, looking extremely well. He reports everything quiet, as usual, in that section. Mr. Farmer, of Susanville, in the northern part of the State, is prospecting in this part of the country with a view of locating there permanently. It is a very strange thing that the citizens of Orange and vicinity should be subjected to. If the citizens allow two or three individuals to govern the lower ditch, what the devil is the use of a lower ditch? Echo answers: “d—f—on all sides.” We are informed that a good druggist can purchase the Orange drug store cheaper than the goods cost in San Francisco. We were pleased to learn that Mr. John West had received an appointment. No better boy could be found to fill the position as an assistant to the most important office in the county. Cloudy weather has prevailed for the last few days. May 8th. Advice Gratis. I’m proud to say I’ve many friends—Such earnest friends I never knew—There isn’t one but condescends To tell me what I ought to do They fear, lest I should go astray And fondly think their “ups” suffice And freely offer day by day What they consider good advice! I never yet could turn my hand To anything resembling work No: labor’s more than I can stand—All kinds of industry I shirk Yet Uncle John, who’s spell to do Whose mode of living’s so precise Exchains: “I’d work if I were you!” And thinks he’s giving good advice! “Away” says one, “and fight for fame Go, win renown, like other men They rose, and you might do the same Just try your fortune at the pen And what though Pepaus has wings? Some poets caught him once or twice Employ your brains—write books and things” And that they fancy’s good advice! I’ve always wished to live alone—A bachelor, unshackled free And whilst I’ve brains to call my own No Hymenal bonds for me! Yet newly-married Jones declares That matrimony’s “very nice.” Get wed,” says he, “twill soothe your cares.” And this he reckon’s good advice! Extract. Post Office Letter List.

From what we can learn the Water Meeting on last Saturday afternoon accomplished about as much as ice did when we took our first "chaw of terbacker." Nap Donovan, of Santa Ana, circulated on our streets Monday. Nap informs us that he intends rusticating for a spell in Bakersfield. - It comes to us from Downey City that prominent citizens of this place left for Arizona on the 30th. We noticed those gentlemen on the street to-day. We know of five dollars that recently paid three different bills, and made three individuals happy. Oh, for a few more just like it!
