[FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.] Mr. Willard, of the firm of Cahen & Willard, arrived from San Francisco last night. Five hundred and forty-four sacks of corn were shipped on the Steamer Anson, from Anaheim Landing, on Tuesday. Several wagon-loads of the friends of F. Reuter went to the wedding yesterday at Santa Ana. We were sorry that our business engagements prevented our appearance. The Los Angeles papers think that negotiations are in progress looking to the purchase of the Santa Monica railroad by the Southern Pacific magnates. The rain fell quite heavily yesterday morning, and continued for some hours. It did considerable damage to the hay crop, but there is still plenty and to spare. A boy struck the popular vein yesterday afternoon, by selling hot tomales on the street. His bucket was soon emptied, but we doubt whether his experiment will bear repetition. In the suit of Robinson vs. A. W. Tole, in the District Court, the defendant was adjudged guilty of contempt, and the Sheriff was ordered to restore plaintiff to possession of the premises. If the sneak thief, who dug up and carried off ten choice and valuable rose bushes from Mr. J., M. Guinn's front yard, last Sunday night, will send his address to that gentleman, he can have the names of those roses and some other information that may be of value to him. Freight for the following persons was received at Golden Smith Mall, infertile at San Jose, last Saturday, beat Earus in three straight heats. Time, 2:20%, 2:16%, 2:19%. The second heat is the fastest on record on the Pacific Coast, beating Occident's best time half a second. The Deputy Sheriff served summonses yesterday on Messrs. S. B. King and J. E. Rogers, of Westminster, and L. J. Lockhart, of Orange, to act as term jurors in the County Court of Los Angeles, for the term ending May 21st. We met a fellow yesterday with a rather delapidated looking saddle. He said he had just given a horse for it. We remarked that it was rather strange that a man should give a horse for a saddle. "Well, you see," he said, "almost anything was worth that horse." "Eat" in his communication published this morning, is very sweeping in his condemnation of our municipal government. Some of his strictures are true, but it is altogether too soon to take such a desponding view. With all due deference to "Bat" and the philosophers, we think that it is no criterion to judge of the future by the past. It is possible for a town government to accomplish much good for the municipality, and we doubt not that those into whose care has just been committed the welfare of the town, will be found equal to the task expected of them. Furl your cherubic wings for a time, "Bat," and let patience take possession of your soul. It will be all right in the "sweet-by-and-by." Star: The evidence in the contested will case of the late T. Jeff. White again occupied the attention of the Probate Court all day yesterday. In his will Mr. White bequeathed one-half of his property to his infant child and one-half to Mrs. Harvey,nee Kitty Backman, to whom he was engaged to be married, whom he appointed administratrix of the estate. During his last sickness Mr. White was attended by Mrs. Harvey and her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Backman, who took up their residence at White's house last January. The effort to break the will is made on the part of Mrs. E. J. C. Kewen, a sister of the deceased, through her husband, alleging that the deceased was of unsound mind and unduly influenced during his sickness. The witnesses so far examined for the contestants are Drs. Stanway, Angell and Richardson, Mrs. Kewen, Col. Kewen, V. A. Hoover and Perry Kewen, their testimony. Meeting of the Fire Dept. A meeting of the Anaheim was held on Thursday evening Hall. Mr. T. S. Grimshaw tendered as member of the Pic-nic which was accepted. The services of the Brass Band for the picnic free of charge; tion of the leader, who was two dollars for his services. The Committee rendered satisfaction of further arrangements made. Mr. Theo. Lynill was requested an oration. The price of admission to fix at fifty cents for each man twelve years old. Messrs. Theo, Lynill, H Knapke, L Draveson, F Dalton N. Bittner, N. Rogers, S.J. Recipe were appointed a commission admission fees and furnish back. Our Town Governments Eds. Gazette:—The primary forms of Government is to be enforced, and the chief aim of mrations or governments is to provide order and advance the interests habitants of the town by payments. Our Town Government operation now about four months something of its practical work see and judge for ourselves of conferred upon Anaheim by our government, and having the reportent of the Board of Town Tions us, we are advised as to the cost of the Town Government for the months, which is one-third of view of these facts I am of the behooves us to reflect, and cando dispassionately, the advantage Town Government, the benefit under, and the cost of the town our townsmen entered into the Town Government in good faith. In the suit of Robinson vs. A. W. Tole, in the District Court, the defendant was adjudged guilty of contempt, and the Sheriff was ordered to restore plaintiff to possession of the premises. If the sneak thief, who dug up and carried off ten choice and valuable rose bushes from Mr. J. M. Guinn's front yard, last Sunday night, will send his address to that gentleman, he can have the names of those roses and some other information that may be of value to him. Freight for the following persons was received at Anaheim Landing, May 14th, per steamer Ancon: A Spees, 15 pkgs mdse; A B & Co, 8 pkgs mdse, 1 wagon; A L, 34 pkgs mdse; C & W, 100 empty oil cases; C Wille, 4 ladh iron; J B, 1 bdle base; J H F, 4 pkgs mdse; L Goldsmith, 2 pkgs mdse; M Watterson, 11 pkgs mdse; L Gildmacher, 101 pkgs mdse; J N Parker, 6 pkgs mdse; P Hammes, 1 empty pipe; P Granet, 1 case cigars; Schooner Frithof, 1 pkg sails; F S G, 7 pkgs sails; W H & Co, 1 pkg sails. The following expose of municipal imbecility is from the Los Angeles Star: We do not wish to create unnecessary alarm among our citizens, but after the experience of the terrible epidemic through which we have just passed, it is but a simple duty on our part to call the attention of the Board of Health to the fact that the small-pox at present existing in this city is being quietly but surely disseminated throughout the neighborhood of Center, Ramirez, and Old Aliso streets. Ten days ago, we believe, there was but one case in the city, but now the number has increased to seven. Residents of the localities mentioned inform us that, with the exception of yellow cards tacked on the two infected houses, there are no precautions whatever being taken to prevent the spread of the loathsome disease. Friends of the families afflicted visit them at all hours, unchallenged, and as was the case some six months ago, will be the means of bringing an epidemic among us, unless vigorous measures are taken immediately. We believe that the existing cases are at present entirely confined to two houses, on the same street and block, making it a very easy matter to effectually quarantine them, and it is a duty which the authorities owe to the public that this should be done speedily and thoroughly. The Philadelphia Cheap Cash Store received their goods yesterday, and as soon as the goods were unpacked and put upon the shelves, the rush of people commenced. Some bought dry goods and others clothing, and all who visited the house were astonished at the low prices. In fact, they all say it is astonishing when a person can buy a dozen shirts for $9 which is worth $24, a pair of pants for 75 cents that is worth $25, dress goods for 15 cents a yard that is worth 45 cents, skirts at 75 cents, prints for a mere trifle, and everything else in proportion. To-day is the Grand Opening Day. Call early, as we only remain in Anaheim a limited time. Our stock of goods must be sold at any price. Don't forget the place—Los Angeles street, adjoining Star Restaurant. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] A party of campers started for Anaheim Landing yesterday morning. Col. Hewitt says that the Southern Pacific railroad depot will be removed to the new location on the 1st of June. The remains of Mr. Anton Rheude, who died yesterday, were sent to San Francisco by train this morning. Mr.'J. R. Paul of Santa Ana celebrated his crystal wedding on Thursday evening. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present at the festivities. James Ramage Sr. has taken charge of the gunamith establishment of Mr. Boyce, near Halberstadt & Co.'s lumber yard. Mr. Boyce will take a trip to the mountains for his health. Among the passengers by steamer from San Francisco we notice the names of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey. Congratulations are now in order, and the new house is not to let. We mourn the untimely fate of the dogcatcher, and shall probably appeal to the Governor for a reprieve. Our town is again becoming infested with curs. There were four and a half dog fights yesterday. Mr. Olden informs us that the country between here and Los Nietos presents no signs of a dry year. The farmers are busy cutting hay, and as soon as that crop is removed they will put in corn, thus making two crops upon the same land. A very valuable cow, belonging to Robt. W. Scott, Esq., broke her neck yesterday. She became entangled in the rope with which she was tied, and her efforts to extricate herself proved fatal. The cow was worth something over one hundred dollars. Messrs. F. & J. Backs have commenced the erection of a brick building on the corner of First North and Los Angeles streets. They intend to build a two-story edifice, 26x72 feet, with iron front, and propose to set it far enough away to widen Los Angeles street about ten feet. If the same plan is adopted by all the property-holders, a great improvement will be made. The Star copies our political jottings almost entire. It also says: "General Phinne Banning has authorized us to say that he cannot be a candidate for Senator and judge for ourselves on conferred upon Anaheim by our enmentment, and having the report dent of the Board of Town Trust us, we are advised as to the course Town Government for the months, which is one-third of view of these facts I am of the behooves us to reflect, and co-dispassionately, the advantage Town Government, the benefit under, and the cost of the same our townsmen entered into the Town Government in good faith best of intentions for the purge me ask such if their fond expence been realized? Others there were very beginning, who expressed its versely to a Town Government then as they do now that it not sufficient size to warrant in maintaining a Town Government the expense of doing so would be compared with the benefits therefrom. Has not the practical work Town Government since its inception to the present time had a tender firm them in their belief, rather wise, and to add new converts each day and hour? Has the office of Town Of Anaheim been its inhabitants? I for one fail to see wherein benefited: The streets—which great key note of the incorporation same to-day as they were then literally nothing, has been done their condition. A Fire Company organized it is true, but it was no Town Government; it was done public spirited young men, and connection whatever with the Town any more than has the Anaheim Society. Has our government been pro- and order? Most certainly not peace and quietude of our little its incorporation, with the uprising of the night upon which Romo a certain house on Palm street code of our State provides a real lawlessness and disorderly entirety sufficient for our purpure Act under which we are incorporate our extending the Town Ordinance its provisions. I regard our Town as they now exist, as a congruous useless verbosity. They are stock of Los Angeles and the vicinity surround us. What public improvements have dertaken and carried out by our enmentment? Echo answers what many have the audacity to mentingle survey, or those unimaginable both of which we have dearly too at that—and neither we have The report of our shows that $925 in cash has been and liabilities incurred amounting which are yet to be paid. This is of $1,346 $6 as the expenses of Government for one-third of a year fair to judge the future by those many philosophers content that correct way ascertaining—our enmentment will cost the inhabitant of Anaheim during the first year instance,the snug little sum of $ still applying the same rule," we have show for our money. I have not written with any font dictiveness or motive of spite. plainly my views on the subject consider and approve or condemn FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY. Mr. Fritz Renter left for Los Angeles with his bride yesterday morning. The billiard and bar rooms of the Planters' Hotel are receiving a thorough renovation. D. R. M. Thompson, the saddler, formerly of Anaheim, is now working in San Buenaventura. Mr. R. R. Haines, Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was in town last night. A petition will be presented to the Board of Supervisors at their next meeting, asking that a voting precinct be established at Garden Grove. The Callee Ball on Tuesday evening was a complete success. The floor was finally polished and many of the older dancers sat down with astonishing grace. Con. Howe, of the firm of Webster, Howe & Co., was in town yesterday. He reports everything in a flourishing condition at Garden Grove. The number of reapers, mowing machines and patent rakes to be seen around our blacksmith shops denotes that the haying season is upon us. Whether yesterday was a busy day or not with our merchants we cannot say; but this we do know, that there were more teams from the country in town than there has been for a long time. Messrs. F. & J. Backs have commenced the erection of a brick building on the corner of First North and Los Angeles streets. They intend to build a two-story edifice, 26x72 feet, with iron frond, and propose to set it far enough away to widen Los Angeles street about ten feet. If the same plan is adopted by all the property-holders, a great improvement will be made. The Star copies our political jottings almost entire. It also says: "General Phineas Banning has authorized us to say that he can not be a candidate for Senator under any circumstances. One reason is that he is so engaged that he cannot give the time either to participate in the campaign or to go to Sacramento, if elected. Last Saturday night Newport Lodge I.O. G.T., installed the following officers: C.M. Salter, W.C.T.; Mrs. Gates, L.H.S.; Mrs. Moesser, R.H.S.; Mr. Edward Tedford, W.G.; Miss L.F. Moesser, W.T.; Mr.W.B. Tedford, W.F.S.; Mr.L.G.Maxwell, W.M.; Miss Mollie Bery, W.D.M.; Miss E.Tedford, W.I.G.; Mr.James Brookshire, W.O.G.Newport Lodge is reported to be in a very prosperous condition. Anaheim Literary Society. The usual meeting of the Anaheim Literary Society was held at Kroeger's Hall on the evening of the 14th, Mr. D.R.Payne, President, in the chair. Messrs. Stevenson and Hartman gave declarations, and afterwards the members proceeded to debate, the subject being "That railroads should be owned and managed by the State." Mr.Theo.Lynill opened the debate in the affirmative, Mr.V.Montgomery replying. Several other members having spoken, the question was referred to the committee, who decided in favor of the negative. It is to be hoped that the members will attend in greater number at the next meeting, on the 28th inst., when the subject for discussion will be, "Does Aaron Burr merit the opprobrium he receives?" Affirmative—W.H.Henderson,A.G.Boehle,W.F.Heathman,F.W.Athearn.Negative—W.D.Stevenson,C Leonard,J.M.Guinn.Theo.Lynill Declarations will be given by Messrs.W.H.McFadden,and T.S.Grimahaw. R.Brown, Secretary. Meeting of the Fire Company. A meeting of the Anaheim Fire Company was held on Thursday evening at Conrad's Hall. Mr. T. S. Grimshaw tendered his resignation as member of the Pie-nic Committee, which was accepted. The services of the Braza Band were offered for the pie-nic free of charge, with the exception of the leader, who was to receive five dollars for his services. The Committee on Printing reported that badges had been ordered for the pie-nic; that an advertisement had been ordered in the Daily Anaheim Gazette, and that an invitation had been extended to C. E. Miles, Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department. The committee rendered satisfactory reports of further arrangements made for the pie-nic. Mr. Theo. Lynnill was requested to deliver an oration. The price of admission to the pie-nic was fixed at fifty cents for each male visitor over twelve years old. Messrs. Theo. Lynnill, H. Knapke, L. Draveson, F. Dalton, F. Backs, N. Bittner, N. Rogers, S. J. Lowe and F. Reipe, were appointed a committee to receive admission fees and furnish badges. Our Town Government. Eds. Gazette:—The primary object of all forms of Government is to benefit the governed, and the chief aim of municipal corporations or governments, is to preserve law and order and to advance the interests of the inhabitants of the town by public improvements. Our Town Government has been in operation now about four months; we know something of its practical working; we can see and judge for ourselves of the benefits conferred upon Anaheim by our Town Government, and having the report of the President of the Board of Town Trustees before us, we are advised as to the cost of running the Town Government for the spare of four months, which is one-third of a year. In view of these facts I am of the opinion that it behooves us to reflect, and consider calmly and dispassionately, the advantages of our Town Government, the benefit derived thereunder, and the cost of the same. Many of our townsmen entered into the project of a Town Government in good faith and with Garden Grove Remarks. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The rain of Tuesday morning did some good to the growing crops, especially corn. The hay was all down and much of it was in the cock, and of course was somewhat damaged. The most injury was done to the barley, as many of the fields had heavy crops of tall grain, and nearly all of it was laid flat. There will not be much loss, but the expense of harvesting will be increased. Take it all in all the rain was a blessing, and we are anxious to have it repeated and increased indefinitely. Some of the wells in this neighborhood are not throwing sufficient water to satisfy the owners, so many are putting up pumps or plungers and applying hose and wind power to work them. As soon as the experiments are made, I will let you know the result. Three wells have been abandoned in this vicinity on account of the large rocks found at a depth of about 150 feet. It seems strange that none of the well-borns in Los Angeles county have tools capable of overcoming these obstacles. Such difficulties are overcome in the Mississippi valley. The machinery is worked by horse power at an expense not nearly so great as it is here. Why is not this improved machinery introduced here? The field is ample; a fortune is awaiting the individual who has the capital and pluck to undertake the work. The machinery and the exclusive right to use it in this county would not cost more than $4000. Some landowners are already asking for wells 10 inches in diameter, and before two years have passed wells of that size will be the rule and not the exception. Then the citizens of Anaheim will be able to obtain wells, no matter what depth they may be obliged to go. The time of year has come for improving the appearance of homes. Few appreciate how much can be done with a little lime to add neatness to the home. How much it adds to the general view to see the landscape dotted with white houses and out-buildings instead of the dull, dead, wood-colored buildings. I heard one of the proprietors of the Garden Grove store say that he was willing to give anyone who owned buildings within sight of the store sufficient time to whitewash them with it, if the owners would take it and apply it to the buildings. Politicians are beginning to make their appearance in the neighborhood and it is quite remarkable how well they remember your name after having seemingly forgotten it for two years. Often have I met some of them in Los Angeles, but my graceful bow and genial smile would be unrecognized, and I would be rooted to the pavement in dumb astonishment that the man could be so forgetful. Now I find there is a sudden restoration of memory on their part, but alas for them, my memory is gone. They seem to me only strangers whose names and faces 1 never Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. We have tried since our return to gather items for the past two weeks, but find news like the season—very dry. Mr. Gardner has left Westminster for the upper part of the State. Mr. Aldridge purchased his interest in the hotel. The Co-operative Co. have bought the mail wagon and team, and continue the daily mail service. S. H. Butterfield has left us and is teaching at Downey. T. C. Hull has been appointed local agent for the Firamen's Fund Insurance Co. of San Francisco. Mr. Strong is selling blue gum seedlings at very low figures at the Westminster nursery. He is also making contracts for setting these trees out, either in rows for windbreaks, or by the acre for forest culture, and his prices are very low. Dr. P. Howe has gone to Sacramento, where it is possible he may locate. Mr. Griffith has moved into his new house. Rev. S. B. King has enlarged and improved his dwelling. Taylor & McCoy have finished A. H. McDowell's well, obtaining a 3-inch flow at 186 feet. They are now boring a well on Mr. Lockhart's hand this side of the railroad bridge near Orange. Caldwell & Chase finished Gates' well on the high land near Beesonett's, getting 24 inches at 180 feet. They are now boring on Mr. Hensel's place, near the cemetery. J. A. McFadden sunk one well for Deacon Howe, at Garden Grove, and is now working on a second one on the same land. It rained here during Sunday night, and Tuesday morning we had quite a shower, lasting over an hour. These rains have brought up considerable corn that had not sprouted, and have made everything look fresher. We are in the midst of haying season, and everyone seems surprised to see how well it is turning out. It is impossible to form any estimate of the quantity we shall have, but the yield is good and it will command a high price. Heading operations have not begun, but there are a number of pieces of barley about here that equal any we have ever seen. Corn and potatoes look well and are growing rapidly, and all in all, the prospects here are brighter and more encouraging than in any place we have seen in our travels. Pierce's store on the mesa was robbed on Friday night of about $75 worth of clothing, dry goods and groceries. We hear of numerous petty thefts about us, such as robbing smoke-houses, corn cribs and granaries, and appropriating small farm implements. Too much caution cannot be exercised at such times, and we fear that unless greater care is taken by the settlers throughout this entire section, much heavier losses will follow, as they have through the upper part of I have not written with any feeling of vintenness or motive of spite. I have stated firmly my views on the subject; take them, consider and approve or condemn, as to each case and judge for ourselves of the benefits conferred upon Anaheim by our Town Government, and having the report of the President of the Board of Town Trustees before us, we are advised as to the cost of running the Town Government for the spare of four months, which is one-third of a year. In view of these facts I am of the opinion that it behooves us to reflect, and consider calmly and dispassionately, the advantages of our Town Government, the benefit derived thereunder, and the cost of the same. Many of our townsmen entered into the project of a Town Government in good faith, and with the best of intentions for the public weal. Let one ask such, if their fond expectations have been realized? Others there were from the very beginning, who expressed themselves adversely to a Town Government, contending then as they do now that Anaheim was not of sufficient size to warrant its inhabitants to maintaining a Town Government and that the expense of doing so would be too great, compared with the benefits to be derived therefrom. Has not the practical working of our Town Government since its inception down to the present time had a tendency to concern them in their belief, rather than otherwise, and to add new converts to their ranks each day and hour? Has the incorporation of the Town of Anaheim been beneficial to its inhabitants? I for one fail to see wherein we have been benefited. The streets—which were the great key note of the incorporators—the same to-day as they were then. Nothing, literally nothing, has been done to improve their condition. A Fire Company has been organized, it is true, but it was not done by the Town Government; it was done by a few public spirited young men, and has no connection whatever with the Town Government, any more than has the Anaheim Literary Society. Has our government been promotive of law and order? Most certainly not. Contrast the peace and quietude of our little village, before its incorporation, with the uproar and strife of the night upon which Romo was killed at certain house on Palm street. The penal code of our State provides a remedy for all unwillingness and disorderly conduct; it is entirely sufficient for our purpose, and the act under which we are incorporated forbids our extending the Town Ordinances beyond its provisions. I regard our Town Ordinances as they now exist, as a conglomeration ofeless verbosity. They are the laughing rock of Los Angeles and the villages which surround us. What public improvements have been undertaken and carried out by our Town Government? Echo answers, what! Will anyone have the audacity to mention that incomplete survey, or those unfinished maps, both of which we have paid for—and early too at that—and neither of which we have. The report of our expenditures shows that $925 in cash has been expended and liabilities incurred amounting to $421 86 which are yet to be paid. This makes a total $1,346 86 as the expenses of our Town Government for one-third of a year. If it is fair to judge the future by the past—and many philosophers content that it is the only correct way of ascertaining—our Town Government will cost the inhabitants of the town Anaheim, during the first year of its existence, the snug little sum of $1,040 58; and will applying the same rule, "judging the future by the past," we have nothing to show for our money.

POUND'S EXTRACT—Thousands of physialists of all schools—Allopathic, Homoeopathic, Botanical and Eclectic are in the habit of prescribing Poxi's Extract and bear testimony to its many virtues as a Pain Destroyer, and to its almost miraculous healing properties. Sold by all druggists. Store to Rent in Westminster. A GOOD STORE BUILDING CAN BE RENTED in Westminster at a very cheap rate. For practitioners inquire of Mr. Parker, wagon maker, Westminster, or at the GAZETTE Office. Merchants and others are cutting down their expenses as low as possible. Stock-brokers are despondent and failures are frequent. Rents are lower than ever before, and a larger number of houses and stores vacant. In the markets we noticed apricot, cherry, black and raspberry, tomatoes, string beans, cucumbers—in short, almost everything that can be grown. Stockton is dead. No business, no building and no prospect. From the time we left the Livermore valley until we reached the vicinity of Anaheim, we did not see or hear of anything promising a decent crop. San Joaquin valley is dried up, and farmers are now plowing up the ground they sowed last winter, without seeing a spear of grain. The same state of affairs is found in Santa Clara valley and the Vallejo section. And yet one would judge from the published reports that there was no part of our State where something of a crop would not be obtained. In the San Fernando valley we did not see in any direction any kind of a crop, save four small pieces of wheat. Nine tenths of the valley is barren of all semblance of vegetation. We return home to find this most hopeful section soon, and fully satisfied that men who have left aquatina Los Angeles county this year have not bettered themselves one mite. May 17th. H.
