[FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.] Several race horses were brought through town yesterday. They were fine looking animals. In the case of the people va. L. Wartenburg before Justice Bailey yesterday, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. The almost daily purchases of well pipe from our friend Joe Bennerscheult speaks well for the enterprise of the farmers south of us. A grand picnic and ball for the benefit of the Allen League will be given at the Ocean View School House on Tuesday July 17th. Judging from the crowded house at Tom Thumb's entertainment on Monday night we should say that times cannot be so very hard after all. Intending purchasers of dry goods should visit the establishment of Goodman & Rimpan. Their stock is immense and comprehensive. The Express says, "the Mexican name for a kiss is telenamequizel." We have "been there" but we never heard it called by that name before. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: Four boxes raisins, 1 box butter, 1 jar butter, 11 sacks beans, 2 sacks mustard seed, 166 sacks corn, 6 kegs beer. A Mexican yesterday while displaying his equestrian accomplishments on Los Angeles street attempted to dismount gracefully in front of the Star Restaurant. He succeeded admirably in dismounting, but unfortunately fell into the trough of water which stands in front of the restaurant for the benefit of thirsty beasts. The chagrin of of the elegant horseman can better be imagined than described. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: T P Hinde, 195 sacks barley; G T, 6 half sacks flour; J B S, 3 half sacks flour; J Ellia, 1 box mdsse; F & E, 17 pkgs hardware; J B Sabaret, 2 cases syrup, 1 half bbl wine; Webster, Howe & Co, 40 qr sacks flour, 5 pkgs mdse; R B, 2 beer kegs; M J Bundy, 9 pkgs mdse; H Cohn, 2 pkgs mdse; B A Korn, 1 box mdsse; M Hendelson, 20 boxes soap, 1 pkgs mdse. A warrant was sworn out in the City Court yesterday, by Col. B. C. Whiting, a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for the arrest of one Luis Lopez, who is charged with cruelly beating and otherwise maltreating a horse. Lopez got wind of the affair and left town, but an officer started in pursuit and will undoubtedly capture him. It may be of interest to some of the two-legged brutes who maltreat domestic animals to know that there is a State law which provides a punishment for such offences, and that our worthy Judge has been patiently waiting for an opportunity to enforce it.—L. A. Star, [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] Parties in Los Angeles are endeavoring to get up a corner on hay. The hours for transaction of business at the money order office are from 9 A. M., 4 P. M. Shipments from the depot this morning: Five kegs beer, 1 box butter, 1 car brea, 70 sks rye. Santos Sotello has been taken to Bakerfield to answer to the charges of highway robbery and murder. —Intending purchasers of dry goods should visit the establishment of Goodman & Rimpau. Their stock is immense and comprehensive. —The Express says, "the Mexican name for a klas is telenamequizel." We have "been there" but we never heard it called by that name before. —The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: Four boxes raisins, 1 box butter, 1 jar butter, 11 sacks beans, 2 sacks mustard seed, 166 sacks corn, 6 kegs beer. —It is said that some of Col. Bernard's men deserted recently on their departure from San Diego. The command was ordered to the Indian frontier in Oregon, and doubtless these fastidious individuals felt an aversion to having their scalp lifted. —For several days men have been at work undermining the butcher shop of Messrs. Look & Leonard, in search for something which had made a great stench. That something was discovered to be the remains of an old tom cat, who had escaped and gone under the house only to meet with a more terrible and lingering death. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: C M Woodruff, 3 boxes mdse; P Davis Bros., 120 kegs mdse; Ah Sam, 2 sacks mdse; C B Rawson, 3 empty bbls; Look & Leonard, 4 empty G H Kellogg, 1 empty basket; Edwards & Rowe-1 box ice; Sing Sing, 1 pkgs mdse; R B, 8 empty kegs; J B Sabaret, 2 pkgs mdse; J H Bremer, 1 box camera; Watkins, 2 cars implements; E R P, 20 pkgs mdse; J J Williams, 8 boxes. —We had the pleasure last evening of examining the photographic carfurnished by the Central Pacific Railroad Company for the use of Prof. Watkins, who is now taking views in this section. The car is built expressly for the business, and is complete in all its appointments. A platform-car for the photographic wagon, having a stable attached for the horses, is also connected with it. We understand that Prof. Watkins intends taking views of San Juan Capistrano as well as of this section. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] —Ex-Governor Pacheco passed through Anaheim last night, on his way to San Diego. —The following freight was shipped from the depot last night: Nine boxes eggs, 168 sacks corn. —There was every appearance of a thunder storm in the mountains north of Anaheim yesterday. —Mr. Olden is now corresponding with parties with a view of getting number of settlers to this section. —An arbitration in a wine case took place yesterday between Richalbach, and Westphal. We did not learn the result. —Mr. Mark Wright was in town yesterday to regain possession of a horse which had strayed from his ranch at Spadra.

H. Kimball of Los Angeles has invented an implement setting out eucalyptus trees. Four thousand trees can be planted in a day. —the attempt of Mr. Irvine owner of the Joaquin Rancho to have the assessment lowered by the Board of Equalization is attracting a great deal of interest throughout the county. —the Chinamen at Sin Si Wan Hotel were holding a musical entertainment yesterday afternoon. It might have been a Chinese cantata but it sounded more like the senseless cackling of geese. —Messrs. Morrison & Spees are now at work manufacturing a model for a new coupling for artesian well rods. The model is simple in construction and possesses advantages which it is claimed, have not been attained by any other. —There were no additions to be made to the reporter's budget from the Justice's court yesterday. The worthy Judge spent the entire day nodding upon his bench, occasionally making a few listless attempts to catch a fly that was taking undue liberties with His Honor's proboscis. The attorneys sat upon the sidewalks and whittled sticks and told strange yarns of how old suits were won, or lounged lazily upon the chairs or scrawled imaginary briefs upon the Judge's foolscap. Our reporter sat awhile and wondered what effect a small earthquake would have upon the legal talent about that time, and then wandered off in search of more exciting news. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: Beebe, 23 bxs mdse; R H Dibble, I2 bars iron; A G S & Co, 6 bxs glass; T P Hinde, pkge faucets; A B & Co, case dry goods; D Anderson, 1 case notions; W H Lake, 2 pkgs mdse; E Millette, 7 pkgs hh goods; C A Blackman, 3 pkgs mdse; Webster, Howe & Co, 4 boxes; J Kearney, 1 box; S & M, 2 pkgs mdse; L Dartiques, half bbl wine; C & W, 1 pkge paint; L Goldsmith 3 pkgs mdse; T K Saffron; 5 pkgs mdse; Pete Richards, pkge ice; J Fischer, pkge ice; E B Kellogg, pkge ice; N Gray, pkge ice; Granet pkge ice; Nebelung, pkge ice; Kirby, pkge Assessor Lockhart an increase of 269 vial district since which is not a bad Mr. Lockhart's endorsement made of the law jurisdiction is meets of all tax payers.

There was every appearance of a thunderstorm in the mountains north of Anaheim yesterday. Mr. Olden is now corresponding with parties with a view of getting number of settlers to this section. An arbitration in a wine case took place yesterday between Eichalbach, and Westphal. We did not learn the result. Mr. Mark Wright was in town yesterday to regain possession of a horse which had strayed from his ranch at Spadra. The Fire Company attempted to hold a general meeting last evening, but as the President, Vice-President and Secretary were absent, it was given up in disgust. Messrs. Granet & Wengar have been making new improvements in their billiard saloon which will add, materially to the comfort of their guests. Anaheim Landing is becoming the favorite watering-place of this vicinity. A large number of visitors are now camped there, enjoying the cool and healthful sea breeze. The Republican County Committee met at the Council rooms, Los Angeles, at 10 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and fixed the date of the Convention for Saturday, July 28th. The new brick building in process of erection on the corner of Los Angeles and First North streets is fast assuming shape and proportions, and soon one more fire-proof store will be in use. The Trustees of Cajon School District held a consultation with the Trustees of Anaheim School District on Tuesday evening at the GARTTE office, and agreed upon a new boundary line between the two districts. The Imperial Insurance Company of London, has consolidated with the Northern of London and the Queen Company of Liverpool with an aggregate capital of $33,000,000. Mr. A. Guy Smith is the agent for this section. See ad. The following officers of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I. G. O. F., were installed Tuesday by District Deputy Grand Master Champlin: A. J. Brown, N. G.; J.

Mr. Bohen was bitten by a ferocious dog on last Wednesday evening on Los Angeles street. There are so many useless dogs around town, and some of them quite dangerous, that it is high time something was done in regard to them. There are several of these curs that regularly manage to escape whenever they are incarcerated in the dog pound. It is our firm conviction that a little strychnine scattered around the principal streets would be of immense benefit in ridding the town of this nuisance. Let everyone who owns a valuable dog look out for it, and then some means could be easily provided to rid us of the ownerless ones. There is nothing pleasant in being attacked half a dozen times in the night by a parcel of worthless, half-starved curs. Letter From "Spectator"—A Good Suggestion. Eds. GAZETTE, —I have within the present month, attended two public entertainments, both of which were good in their respective ways. Both were well attended and gave excellent satisfaction to the public. But of the two, it seems to the writer that the Cantata was by far the most refined and elevating. The latter, although given by professionals the principal of whom had the advantage of being natural curiosities, was a kind of spectacle which, once seen, should and does lose its interest, whereas the Cantata is a fair sample of a kind of entertainment which it seems to me should be given by our amateurs at least once a month. Why should not the Literary Association unite with the Anaheim Brass Band and the Choral Society, and get up a grand exhibition of their joint talent and let the proceeds go to the fitting up of a Recreation Ground for the young folks?

If Republican Orgained action, they nor Justice of the "Men of Straw." — The Origin of the Phrase. It would seem that the above designation is not exclusively applicable to the particular class of men who have borne it in more modern times—in other words, that the despicable class of individuals who, in ages gone by, have constituted the "men of straw," equally familiar, and were patronized in the courts of modern Europe and ancient Greece. We are assured, indeed, by a clever writer in one of the London quarters (the number we forget) that in the courts of ancient Greece, even a class of mon answering precisely to this description given in our caption was to be found; and from the fact (notorious as it would seem) that "Athens abounded in straw shoes," the inference is pretty plain that convenient witnesses were by no means scarce among the highly cultivated citizens of Athens. The writer would seem to intimate, alog, that as in Westminster Hall, formerly, these 'Men of Straw' walked openly in court, with a straw in one of their shoes, to signify that they wanted employment as witnesses," so the probability would seem to be that, while in the Greek courts downright perjury was manifestly connived at by the judges, so, in Christianized England, many years ago, man could easily be found to give any evidence upon cath (that might be required—and hence originated the saying "He is a man of Straw.") The custom, however, has high antiquity, and, as commented upon by the writer in the Quarterly Review, assumes an interest (we had almost said a fascination) not easily to be resisted. We copy his concluding remarks, verbatim, leaving to the reader to infer how full of novel and exciting matter the Quarterly correspondent's communication must be. "We have all heard of a race af men who used in former days to ply about the courts of law, and who, from the manner of making knub their occupation, were recognized by the name of straw shoes. An advocate or lawyer who wanted a convenient witness, know by these signs where to find one, and the colloquy between the parties was brief. 'Don't you remember?' said the advocate—(the party looked at the fee, and gave no sign; but the fee increased and the powers of memory increased with it)—To be sure I do." Then come into court and swear it," and straw shoes went into court and swore it." Only we might be supposed to be dealing in that mean weapon, flattery, we could mention the names of some cities nearer home where straw-shoes could be found as well as in Athens. Vital Force. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Since mediocrity, which has so long distinguished the management of school affairs in this district, has been overcome by an infusion of brain element, it is to be hoped that brains will be taken into consideration in deciding who shall be principal of the schools of Spring District this year. Let’s have a “sharing.” According to Bro. “Ax,” an Orange correspondent of the Times, that locality, while it may have a paucity of members as regards population and only a proportionate number of office seakers, it certainly must have a surplus of time.” “Think of it, ditch men! Orange will furnish you ‘time’ at six bits per barrel wholesale.” (Vide Times last week). A perfect holocaust of Democratic political victims were in town last week; they are too numerous to mention. The News went over to the Democracy bodily last week. As its subscribers were obtained by assuring them that it was to be run in non-partisan grooves, that it was to be devoted purely to local interests and to the development of the natural interests of this valley and its people, this action of the majority of the stockholders in making it a partisan sheet is looked upon as a breach of good faith of the most flagrant character. The stockholders were induced to subscribe for stock with the same understanding, and are defrauded to the same extent of their just expectations. Wether this disregard of common honesty on the part of the majority will redound to the credit of those managing the matter, remains to be seen. Whether it has a tendency to make a paper a financial success or not, is another question which the future alone will develop. Deputy Sheriff Barham was in town last week summoning witnesses to appear before the Grand Jury. James D. Ott and Wm. Keller are on the Grand Jury from this end of the county. Your worthy postmaster, Mr. Higgins, in company with Mr. Angell, of Los Angeles, who was formerly chief clerk of the money order department of the Los Angeles post office, was also in town. Mr. Angell has been inducing Messrs. Higgins and Spurgeon into the mysteries of that department. Asseasor Lockhart informs us that there is an increase of 260 voters in this Supervisorial district since the last general election, which is not a bad showing for a dry year. Mr. Lockhart’s endeavor to have a just assessment made of the large ranchos within his jurisdiction is meeting with the approbation of all taxpayers. The conflict soon to take place before the Board of Supervisors between money and justice will be watched with peculiar interest by all classes of people acquainted with the subject. Mr. Smith, the Democratic candidate for State Senator, arrived here last Saturday. He came with a great flourish of trumpets, bringing a proposition—one which the people ought to accept right away, notwithstanding the motive which prompted it—to vocate or lawyer who wanted a convenient witness, know by these signs where to find one, and the colloquy between the parties was brief. “Don’t you remember?” said the advocate—the party looked at the fee, and gave no sign; but the fee increased and the powers of memory increased with it)—To be sure I do.’ Then come into court and swear it, and straw shoes went into court and swore it. Only we might be supposed to be dealing in that mean weapon, flattery, we could mention the names of some cities near home where straw shoes could be found as well as in Athens. Vital Force. Let us consider a few of the many ways in which we waste the stuff that life is made of. It has been well said that “the habit of looking on the bright side of things is worth far more than a thousand pounds a year,” and certainly it is a habit that must add many years to the lives of those who acquire it. Really every fit of despondency and every rage takes so much out of us that any one who indulges in either without a great struggle to prevent himself doing so should be characterized as little less than—to use an American expression—a fearful fool.” How silly it seems even to ourselves, after cooling, to have acquired a nervous headache and have become generally done up, stamping around the room and showing other signs of foolish anger because the dinner was five minutes late, or because some one’s respect for us did not quite rise to the high standard measured by our agitism! As if it were not far more important that we should save our vital energy and not get into a rage, than that the dinner should be served exactly to the moment. One day a friend of Lord Palmerston asked him when he considered a man to be in the prime of life; his immediate reply was “Seventy-nine. But, he added, with a playful smile, “as I have just entered my eightieth year perhaps I am myself a little past it!” How is it that such men work vigorously to the end? Because they treasure their ever diminishing vital force. They studiously refrain from making a pull on the constitution. Reaching the borders of 70 years of age, they are as good as to say themselves: We must now take care what we are about.” Of course they make sacrifices, avoid a number of treacherous gayeties, and living simply, they perhaps give some cause of offense, for the world does not approve of singularity. But let those laugh who win. They hold the censorious observations of critics in decision, and maintain the even tenor of their way. In other words, they conserve their vital force, and try to keep above ground as long as possible. Blustering natures, forgetful of the great truth that “power itself hath not one-half the might of gentleness,” miss ends for which they strive just because the force that is in them is not properly economized. Then as regards temper: any man who allows that to master him wastes as much energy as would enable him to remove the cause of anger or overcome an opponent. The boy of eight years old, who in the country is often seen driving a team of four immense drays horses, is one of the innumerable instances of the power of reason over mere brute force, which should induce violent tempers to become calm from policy, if from higher motive. Oil on the Water. The effect of oil in stilling troubled waters has been so long known, remarks Iron, that it has constituted the base of a proverbial phrase. A very small quantity of oil thus used has overcome a very powerful sea. Not many years ago a case occurred in which a ship’s crew was enabled, during a severe storm, to escape to the shore by the help of a vessel. $33,000,000 Capital! IMPERIAL, OF LONDON; NORTHERN, OF LONDON; QUEEN, LIVERPOOL, With an aggregate capital of THIRTY-THREE MILLION DOLLARS, now issue joint policies of insurance, making the STRUNG AND SAFEST combination of insurance capital on this continent. Assessor Lockhart informs us that there is an increase of 269 voters in this Supervisorial district since the last general election, which is not a bad showing for a dry year. Mr. Lockhart's endeavor to have a just assessment made of the large ranchos within his jurisdiction is meeting with the approbation of all taxpayers. The conflict soon to take place before the Board of Supervisors between money and justice will be watched with peculiar interest by all classes of people acquainted with the subject. Mr. Smith, the Democratic candidate for State Senator, arrived here last Saturday. He came with a great flourish of trumpets, bringing a proposition—one which the people ought to accept right away, notwithstanding the motive which prompted it—to concede the Semi-Tropic ditch to the people, the consideration to be $5,000 in paid up shares in the new organization which the people may form. This is the price Glassell, Chapman & Smith offer for the people's votes, and which would never have been offered and would not now be offered, only that it will further the political aspirations of the firm. Glassell, Chapman & Smith want a representative in the Legislature! It is very strange, indeed, that this fair proposition was never thought of until the political fortunes of a member of the firm was endangered by not granting it. This afterthought, the repentance, so to speak, carries too late, either to fool St. Peter or catch people's votes. Mr. E. Hilton, the probable Republican candidate for the Legislature, lower house, was also here during the week. He has nothing to offer for votes, except ability, a thorough knowledge of the wants of his section, great influence at Sacramento, where he formerly lived, and honesty of purpose. He will leave Santa Ana with a solid delegation. We understand that some parties in and near Orange (Republicans) took time by the forelock and placed R. B. Guthrie's name in the paper as a candidate for representative. While it is right and proper for any Democrat to announce himself, we are surprised at Republicans, who have been reading everybody out of the party who voted against Lockhart for Supervisor, should be guilty of such an "unprincipled" act, as they please to put it, "Oh, consistency! thon art a jewel!" If Republican Orange sustains this unauthorized action, they will get neither Constable nor Justice of the Peace. Mark that. At a meeting of the Microscopical Society of San Francisco, held last Thursday, E. J. Wickson exhibited a hemipterous insect pest, which is represented to be found in large quantities in some of the vineyards in Sonoma county, and certainly is provided with implements capable of doing a vast deal of damage. In the many respects it resembles the winged form of the Phylloxera, though the wings are shorter and body rounder than the descriptions of that destroyer. This new foe is said to be doing a great amount of harm to the vines. Oil on the Water. The effect of oil in stilling troubled waters has been so long known, remarks Iron, that it has constituted the base of a proverbial phrase. A very small quantity of oil thus used has overcome a very powerful sea. Not many years ago a case occurred in which a ship's crew was enabled, during a severe storm, to escape to the shore by the help of a few gallons of oil. A similar and equally successful employment of the same substance is reported to have been made off the "Cape of Storm" last summer. The King Cenric, a vessel of 1,400 tons, left Liverpool in June last for Bombay. When off the Cape of Good Hope she encountered a heavy gale from the northwest, which continued for some time. Tremendous seas broke over the ship, bursting in the main hatch, washing away the hatch houses and boats, smashing in front of the cabin, and destroying the captain's and officers' stores and clothing. The gale lasted nearly five days, and though the vessel stood it very well, it was impossible to repair any of the damages, as the waves were continually sweeping over the decks. At length the chief officer suggested the trial of throwing oil upon the water. The two canvas clothes-bags wore obtained, and into each two gallons of fine oil was poured, the bags being punctured slightly, and flung one over each quarter in tow of the vessel. The effect was magical; the waves no longer broke over the poop and sides of the ship, but several yards away, where the oil had spread itself over the surface, and around the poop, in the wake of the vessel, was a large circuit of calm water. The crew were thus able to repair the damage with greater ease, and the ship was relieved from the tremendous shocks she had previously received from the heavy seas. The two bags lasted two days, after which—the worst fury of the gale having expended itself—no more oil was used. Maine must be a disagreeable place for people who are sensitive about having their closets and carriages ransacked by officials in search of prohibited stimulants. It seems that it is customary for the "seizers," as they are called, to investigate the vehicles of guests at hotels with a view of ascertaining whether a bottle of ale or other alcoholic beverage is hidden among the rugs or under the seat. Four "seizers" discovered some ale in a buggy under the shed of the Brewer House, near Portland, the other day, and proceeded to confiscate them. Thereupon the owner of the ale lifted up the official and threw him against a fence. The seizer escaped with bruised bones. Such is life in Maine, under a rigid prohibitory law. $33,000,000 Capital!
