The interminable case of Simpson v. Williams came up before Justice Clark yesterday. The suit was originally intended to recover the value of a horse, but unless the Court and the lawyers pay back the money they have received, more than the value of the horse will be wasted. The plaintiff took a nonsuit, without prejudice to future action. We passed a delightful hour yesterday morning at the millinery parlors of Mrs. It. S. Yardley, on Lemon street. A lady must have a taste extremely ultra who cannot satisfy herself from the large and well selected stock of that establishment. We were particularly pleased with the beautiful artificial flowers, and almost wished we were a girl, that we might with propriety adorn our hat with some of the elegant specimens.

Strike of Silk Workmen. PARTERSON, N. J., June 20. There is great excitement among the silk factory hands, five or six hundred of whom are now out. Hamil mill will shut down, and several mills are without hands. At a meeting of the strikers in Military Hall today, Gustave Henrick favored returning to work. The women attacked him and tore his coat, and one woman threw pepper in his eyes. He drew an empty revolver, but was chased out of the hall and pursued. Growing Oran The shipments from the depot this morning were: One horse, 21 dry hides, 3 calf skins, 2 bdls polts, 10 tins tallow, 1 box shells, 30 sacks potatoes, 1 case millinery, 1 box firinglass, 1 roll carpet, 1 trunk, 2 boxes household goods, 1 stove, 1 pack pipe, 1 boiler, 1 pkg hollow-ware, 1 sewing machine, 1 car brea. Anaheim is not to be outdone by Los Angeles. The Probate Court of that city shall not be entitled to the name and credit of being the only place for the exhibition of the manly art of self defense. Justice Clark's office was yesterday turned into an arena on the occasion of the suit of Mallett va. Mitchell. During the progress of the case, Mr. Montgomery, counsel for the plaintiff, made some remark, to which Mr. Mitchell replied by saying it was a lie. Both parties jumped to their feet. Mr. Mitchell struck out boldly with his left eye, planted a telling blow upon Mr. Montgomery's right fist and immediately laid down upon his back, in order to more effectually resist any warlike demonstrations which might be made by his opponent. Several spectators volunteered to part the pugnacious gentlemen, and for a few minutes the Court, jury, counsel, clients, Deputy Sheriff and Constable were so delightfully mixed that it was impossible to tell to whom the flying legs and arms belonged. The giant frame of the peace-officer, however, proved too much for the combatants, and they were separated. The defendant in the suit sat down and chewed the end of bitter recollection, while the warlike lawyer endeavored to cool his rage by swallowing some small pieces of ice. The Deputy Sheriff was put under the influence of chloroform while whiskey was poured upon his bruises. His nervous system being excited to see so much good whiskey wasted upon a wounded leg that it was found necessary to administer a sleeping potion. Order was gradually restored and the case proceeded. Judge Holloway of Downey, who had been especially requested to come down and see the fun, was of the opinion that Anaheim was a lively little town. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] A detachment of soldiers, en route for San Diego, passed through town yesterday afternoon.] BELLIGERENT LAWYERS. An Exciting Scene in the Probate Court—Thompson and Kewen have a hit of a mus. [Los Angeles Express, June 19] The County Court room was this morning the scene of the most exciting verbal and personal encounter that the cars of its dingy walls have listened to for many a day. Pursuant to yesterday's adjournment, the Probate Court convened at half past nine o'clock this morning, to continue the hearing in the matter of granting letters of guardianship over the person and property of the little child, T. Jeff White. Our citizens are already familiar with the Backman case, in which the jury adjudged T. Jeff White, deceased, to have been of unsound mind at the time of making his will in favor of his child and Kitty Backman, with the latter as executrix, and declared the same instrument to be null and void. The contest for letters of guardianship, inaugurated in the Probate Court, is the sequel to that trial. Mrs. Virginia A. Green mother of Mrs. T. Jeff White, deceased, and grandmother to the little boy, applied for letters of guardianship of the minor. Col. Kewen agreed to this, but Mrs. Green filed an amended complaint, praying for letters of guardianship of both person and estate. To this Col. Kewen objected, and filed a petition praying for his appointment as guardian. The case was called yesterday, and after the consideration of some technical questions was adjourned until 9:20 A.M. to-day. At the opening of the Court to-day, Col. Howard, attorney for Col. Kewen, began argument on a motion to strike out testimony derogatory to the competency and capacity of Mrs. Kewen to rear a child properly. During the course of his argument, he said that there had evidently been a combination on the part of the Backmans to impeach Mrs. Kewen's trustworthiness. Judge Thompson, counsel for Mrs. Green, then arrose and said that his object was to deny the existence of such combination. He took that course through a sense of duty, as the alleged combination existed wholly and only in the mind of Col. Howard. Then, pointing to Col. Kewen, who was reclining on a window-sill on the opposite side of the room, he said: "There is your proposed guardian; over there—drunk." Col. Kewen rose and replied: "You had better be careful; you had better not say that sir." Judge Thompson—"I will say it whenever I choose." Col. Kewen—"I am sick, sir, and you mustn't insult me in that way; you mustn't say such things as that." While speaking, he had moved around and inside of the bar, and with the last word he struck or attempted to strike Judge Thompson in the face. Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETE. The news market is dull here at present, though political aspirants are trying to create lively interest among voters. The latest visitor of this class was Mr. Howard, who seeks the Democratic nomination for Sheriff. Last week you made us say the election for School Trustees would be held on Saturday, June 19th. It should have read June 30th. Dr. P. Howe, who left this place a few weeks since and located at Grass Valley, has returned and will remain with us, devoting his entire time to professional duties. Mr. Gardner and family, who left Westminster a short time ago, have also returned with the intention of staying. So it goes; persons who leave here return and feel satisfied to make this their home. Mr. David Morgan died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Leach, lank Salath morning. The funeral on Monday was largely attended. Mr. Morgan came here two years ago, at once gaining the full confidence and esteem of our people. The afflicted family have the fullest sympathy of the whole community. Caldwell & Chase have finished Mr. Forman's well getting 25 inches flow at 112 feet. They have had Cultor's patent coupler put on their rods and their tools put in thorough repair. They are now working at Mr. Harmon's, in Garden Grove. J. A. McFadden has finished Mr. Fleming's well—12 inches at 154 feet. Rev. R. Strong is prepared to register voters. Mr. Calvin McDowell has so far recovered from his wound as to be able to get out daily. Mr. Geo. Woodington has purchased H. D. Young's town lot and will build at once. G. M. Crittenden is spending a few weeks in Santa Clara county. Game is abundant there, and he will devote some of his time to deer hunting. We were shown recently an Australian peach pit which was no larger than a good-sized cherry stone. The fruit is free stone, large, rich and juicy, and ripens in May. Trees are being propagated in Southern California, and will be offered for sale in a year or two. The Presbyterian social will meet in the Hall on Tuesday evening next. Arrangements are being made for presenting a line and varied programme, some of the features being new and interesting. The exercises of the evening will commence at 8 o'clock sharp. Ice-cream and cake will be served extra to those who desire. Mr. Sam Booth, the popular comic writer and singer of San Francisco, who is visiting relatives here, will probably be heard from during the evening. Local Market Report.

Then, pointing to Col. Kewen, who was reclining on a window-sill on the opposite side of the room, he said: "There is your proposed guardian, over there—drunk." Col. Kewen rose and replied: "You had better be careful; you had better not say that sir." Judge Thompson—"I will say it whenever I choose." Col. Kewen—"I am sick, sir, and you mustn't insult me in that way; you mustn't say such things as that." While speaking, he had moved around and inside of the bar, and with the last word he struck or attempted to strike Judge Thompson in the face. The Court room, which contained over a hundred spectators, was immediately a scene of wild confusion, during which the two men clinched and went to the floor together. The efforts of the Judge to restore order were unavailing, and the cries of "Call the Sheriff! call the Sheriff!" only increased the confusion. Presently Deputy Sheriff Rowan appeared, and removed Col. Kewen from the court room. Judge Thompson apologized to the Court for his part in the breach of decorum. Colonel Howard then said to Judge Thompson, "It was, however, a very important remark." The Court—"Take things easy, gentlemen; take your seats; we want no more scenes." Judge Thompson—"Colonel, I'm not afraid of you or your client either, and when you say that it was an impartinent remark, you stated that which is false. Colonel Howard—"You are a dirty second-drel, and under the protection of this Court." Judge O'Melveny finally succeeded in quieting down the gentlemen, when Colonel Howard asked for a postponement until tomorrow. This was objected to by Judge Thompson, who claimed that he was ready to go on with the argument, the question under consideration being whether a child could legally have two guardians. Judge Thompson argued that the guardianship of the person of a minor included the guardianship of the estate, and Col., Howard opposed this view. In the meantime Colonel Kewen, in company with Deputy Sheriff Rowan re-entered the room. When within reaching distance of Judge Thompson, he drew a whip which he had taken unobservedly from the carriage and concealed about his person, and attempted to use it, but in a flash he was in the grip of Rowan who removed him from the room. Judge O'Melveny then expressed his embarrassment over and regret of the unfortunate affair, and stated that he called the Sheriff as often as five times before he appeared, and that had a deputy been within hearing he would have stopped the difficulty before its consummation. He then adjourned the bearing of the various motions until 9:30 A.M. to morrow. Perry Kewen, son of the Colonel, hearing Frank McCoy make a disrespectful remark in front of the Star office, attempted to chastise him with a stick or cane, which he held in his hand, but the interference of bystanders prevented bodily injury to either of the parties. Growing Oranges in Florida. A correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes from Florida about orange groves and things: "The St. John's River is dotted with dead and dying orange shrubs, planted and abandoned by speculators more sanguine than wise. That there are fine orange groves in Florida, bringing in a handsome revenue to the owners, cannot be denied, and that industry and patience, buttressed by a moderate capital, will in time accomplish the same thing for others, is also true; but the same may be said of nearly every business all peach pit which was no larger than a good-sized cherry stone. The fruit is free stone, large, rich and juicy, and ripens in May. Trees are being propagated in Southern California, and will be offered for sale in a year or two. The Presbyterian social will meet in the Hall on Tuesday evening next. Arrangements are being made for presenting a line and varied programme, some of the features being new and interesting. The exercises of the evening will commence at 8 o'clock sharp. Ice-cream and cake will be served extra to those who desire. Mr. Sam Booth, the popular comic writer and singer of San Francisco, who is visiting relatives here, will probably be heard from during the evening. Mr. D. W. McLeod, of Riverside and Temescal valley, is visiting friends here. He reports everything at Riverside as most thriving. They have far more water than can be used, some 4000 inches running to waste on the plains. Up in the valley he reports the bee feed almost destroyed, so that some of the bees will lose their hives, while none of them will more than carry their stock through. June 21st. Garden Grove Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. There are some new business operations on the board here; but nothing definite. There is some talk of another store,and some new dwellings are in contemplation. Mr. S. H. Johnson and family have lately arrived from Illinois, and he is now erecting a dwelling on the place formerly occupied by Mr. Chapell. E. E. Warner, Esq. is still in the wilds of San Bernardino. Some interest is being taken in the school election. At present there is but one candidate who has consented to accept the office. Rumors of the annual discord are wafted to our ears from Westminster. It is hoped that the colony will hold all the discordant music this year, and that it will not be allowed to overflow into the surrounding neighborhoods. Our school closed this week. Your correspondent was present during a portion of the exercises, and was delighted with the proficiency evinced. The programme for the afternoon consisted of declarations, recitations, and the reading of the Garden Grove News. Everything was creditable to teachers and pupils; the paper full of pithy items and essays. The London Times and Anaheim Gazette were alluded to as samples of what the Garden Grove paper may become. The pupils showed by their actions and words that the teachers had their hearty approval and sympathy. For three months the school has been under the charge of Miss Lizzie Leffler, and during the last few weeks the school increased in numbers to such an extent that it became necessary to employ an assistant,and Miss Addie Leffler was employed in that capacity. It is hoped by all in the district that they will continue to teach here. It is seldom that a teacher gives such universal satisfaction. A new school house is contemplated, as well as an addition to the present one. There are now over one hundred pupils in the district, and it is expected that the number will largely increase during the year. Mr. Stohl's wind-mills are giving good satisfaction here. There is no reason why a home-made wind-mill should not do just as good work as any other windmill. BORN. REID—In Santa Monica, June 17th, to the wife of B. P.Rid., a son.

A correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes from Florida about orange groves and things: "The St. John's River is dotted with dead and dying orange shrubs, planted and abandoned by speculators more sanguine than wise. That there are fine orange groves in Florida, bringing in a handsome revenue to the owners, cannot be denied, and that industry and patience, buttressed by a moderate capital, will in time accomplish the same thing for others, is also true; but the same may be said of nearly every business all over our land. The truth is, Florida is a peninsula of sand, and, for successful growth, the land needs constant irrigation; and this requires labor and care and money. If a man is willing to leave New England; to give up schools and libraries and newspapers and social comforts, and dwell in a comparative wilderness; if he can endure the protracted summer heat, with mosquitoes, fleas and sand-flies, in any quantity, thrown in; if he is ready to pay $100 an acre for sand which he must irrigate with a pump or a windmill; if he has the means to support himself for ten years while he is waiting for the orange trees to grow, after that time he is moderately certain to get a remunerative income, but not otherwise." A fashion writer tells the following of two handsome dresses exhibited in New York: A very stylish suit made in the Breton style was of dark mouse-gray cashmere and silk of the same shade. The skirt was of silk, with rose-leaf pleatings; the overskirt, of cashmere, was extremely long, trimmed with black galloon, and embroidered with mandarin yellow. The embroidered plastron or Breton vest was attached by rows of sequin buttons to the waist proper. A new feature of this costume was the deep pocket which hung on the left side, and which was embroidered with the monogram of the wearer in letters matching the galloon trimming. Another stylish costume was of dark-brown faille and silk. The demi-train skirt was of silk with plissis of faille. The polonaise was of an entirely new style. The right side falls quite plain, forming at the back a sort of wattean plait. The left side is so draped as to form a one-sided, pointed tablerin front, caught with a large double bow and loops. Farmers wishing to dispose of their butter and eggs will consult their own interests by calling at the Grange store, Los Angeles, as the extension of Seymour & Co.'s trade into the mining districts has opened up quite a market for produce of that kind. There are 625 lawyers in San Francisco. Gen. Ord, now in command of the United States troops on the Rio Grande, is a grandson of George IV. and the actress Mrs. Fitzherbert, to whom he was married by a Catholic priest while Prince Regent. The consent of Parliament had not been given, and the marriage was illegal in English law. A son was born by this union and consigned to the care of a tutor named Ord, who emigrated with him to this country. The youth took the name of his tutor, and married a Virginia or Maryland lady, by whom he had two sons, Atlanticus and Pacificus. The first was sent to West Point, and is the General on the Rio Grande. The second became a lawyer in New Orleans, and emigrated to California twenty-five year ago, where he is a Judge.—New Orleans Democrat. Mrs. Flora Brown is now offering her large and complete stock of ladies' and children's fine or dress Hats and Bonnets for cost price—some styles even less.

Stylish Bonnets, fancy brim and soft crown, for 75 cents; Chip Bonnets, 50; Fine Leghorns, $1 25; Childrens' hats at prices to correspond.

WE ARE INFORMED THAT A CERTAIN WIND Mill, called the "Aldrich Mill," is Being offered for sale in this vicinity as an improvement upon the Eclipse. For the protection of those who might ignorantly purchase it, we desire to publicly caution all against buying and parroting for any such Wind Mill that they will be sold at twice to pay for the买卖. The Aldrich Wind Mill is intended directly upon at least three of our Patents which are recognized all over the State under which a dozen licenses are now granted. The Aldrich mill has no license for the use of our patent, and we shall hold all parties buying or selling it, to the full extent of the law. To parties holding the Aldrich mill or about to purchase it, we would advise their sending 20 cents to Washington and procure a copy of the Aldrich patent. Send for W. H. Aldrich's patent on Wind Mill dated July 6th, 1875 and you will find it calls for the middle state inside his wheel, that are supposed to act in place of our side vane, and the centre working and regulating device come from other mills and are not patented or claimed by Aldrich, but are infringements upon other patents. A little careful investigation will reveal the extent of the Aldrich patent, and may save some honest purchaser half the price of his mill. Mr. C. P. Hoag, o-San Francisco, is our only authorized agent on the Pacific Coast. We make this public statement in order that no one may heretofore plead ignorance as their excuse for using our patent, and so beg off the penalty. EOLIPSE WIND MILL CO.
