[From Wednesday's daily.] Deputy Sheriff Earham has moved his residence to the house formerly occupied by M. Knapke on Glenstruth. Messrs. Look & Leonard have been butchering some very fine cattle lately. We noticed a cow tied in front of their shop last evening that was as fat as any we have ever seen. The staking out of lands on the Alamitos and Gayotes ranchos is pursued with vigor. Even the dispositions of actual settlers who have bought their land of the Company are not respected. It is reported that there were 211 votes polled at the Democratic primary election at San Gabriel on Saturday, and that at the Presidential election there were only 98 votes cast. This shows a remarkable gain in that precinct. Among the business done by the Probate Court on Monday was the following: Estate of S. Goldstein, deceased—Petition for sale of real estate.

George used to be a Democrat when he lived in a Democratic county. The "boys" were engaged yesterday in canvassing the probable action of the Democratic Convention at Los Angeles to-day. The young folks are looking anxiously forward to the completion of the Back building, as it is proposed to dedicate it with a grand hall. The Express says that the Democratic ticket presents element of weakness of which the Republicans will take advantage if they are wise. There was a little excitement yesterday in listening to the tales of the delegates, and other visitors to the Democratic Convention, as they told how the jobs were put up on the boys. Cape Pierce of the steamer Newport was in town yesterday. The Newport arrived yesterday with a load of lumber and will leave on Saturday with a load of corn for San Francisco. The Santa Ana Times says that since the recent favorable dispatches to the settlers on the Los Dolsas grant, about 500 acres of land have been taken up to the west and northwest of Westminster. Mexico Morrison A. Spesa have been manufacturing a cultivator of their own invention. It is said by those who have seen it in operation to be the best ever used in this section. They are now manufacturing one for Dr. Hamlin. Mr. James Baldwin, formerly of Anaheim, has lately returned from Mojave, which he describes as being a delightful place. The thermometer fell below 11°F in the shade. Every six weeks there is one calm day, and the boys turn out and gather the hats which have blown away from the citizens. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: Mrs Brown I sewing machine; R B, 1 kg; Alward Bros, 2 pkgs salt; 40 qraska flour; G Bauer, I roll leather; P Hammess, 1 pipe; M J Bundy, 6 pkgs midge; G Heffner, 1 chest tools; W B Hunt, I box groceries; J J Williams, 5 pkgs fruit; W King, 5 kgs; G & B, 1 kg beer; Granet, 2 pkgs melan.

Barter, a former propriator of the Gazette, but at present editor of the Brooklyn Videotel, in a candidate for the Legislature from Alameda county, subject to the action of the Republican Convention. George used to be a Democrat when he lived in a Democratic county. "The boys" were engaged yesterday in canvassing the probable action of the Democratic Convention at Los Angeles today. Each one appeared satisfied that he knew all about it. If it should happen that all of them are right in their conjectures there will be a lively time among the candidates. Among the arrivals by the train last evening was Mr. W. Gilbert and family. Mr. G. has leased the lower story of the Grange Hall, at the depot, and in a few days he will have it stocked with a large assortment of groceries, dry goods, hardware, etc. Mr. Gilbert was until recently the senior member of the firm of Gilbert & Moores, doing business at Cabazon, and we are told that he is a thorough business man. From Thursday's Daily, Fifty passenger tickets for Los Angeles were sold at the depot yesterday morning. Mr. W. Gilbert has rented the house at the depot formerly occupied by Otto Evers. We refer our readers with pride to the very full and complete special dispatches in this morning's Gazette. Mr. F. Alvarado, arrived last evening from Lower California.

The Yuana (A. T.) Sentinel says: Four hundred head of cattle arrived by rail last week, shipped by various parties near Anaheim, California, and destined for points in the interior. Owing to some negligence the engine ran short of fuel out on the desert and had to be relieved by the engine of the construction train sent out from the river. The train arrived after noon and the cattle were nearly famishing for water. They have been recruited along the river and are now in good condition for travel. Officer Warteuborg returned last night, being unable to find his man. The object of his search was Ismael Romero, who is charged with stealing a trunk from the house of Abran Aguilar. He is also suspected of being the man who robbed the Chinaman at Mr. Scott's ranch, and is believed to have committed many other crimes. It is reported that he has recently been wounded in the leg by a pistol shot, and that he is secreted in the willows in the vicinity of the Sierra ranch. Homicide at Cucamonga. Mr. Gabriel Sabran furnishes us with the following in relation to a homicide at Cucamonga ranch, which took place on Sunday, the 15th inst. Reyes Romero and Luis Ramirez were pasturing sheep together on that ranch, and as the train from Colton passed by where the sheep were, the conductor saw Romero lying near the track, apparently wounded. He raised his hands as a signal for the train to stop. When the next station was reached a hand-car was dispatched to the spot, but the man had been removed. Nothing was heard of either of the men for some time. Last week Ramirez was seen to pass through Brea Canyon and shortly afterward some cattle were missed from Mr. Sabran's rancho. Search was made for the body of Romero but it was not discovered until Sunday last, when it was found in a small arroyo on the Cucamonga ranch. It had been there so long that it was nearly decomposed and an attempt to remove it caused it to drop to pieces, the flesh tearing from the bones. It was conveyed to the ranch of Mr. Sabran from whence the funeral took place yesterday. It is supposed that Romero and Ramirez had some difficulty, which resulted in the killing of the former.. The supposed murderer has not yet been captured. Post Office Letter List. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: C Bonike, Sarah E. Gillehead, John H. Meyers, Fred Ruman. Held for better direction, a letter addressed to Los Angeles. The Freight Agents on the Southern Pacific Railroad are instructed not to receive freight for points east of Omaha, on account of the strike. There was but one lawyer left in town yesterday and no guardian of the peace, so the Justices' Court was relieved from annoyance. T. D. Culter, the inventor of the Giant Rod Coupler, has appointed Barrows, Furrey & Co. his agents at Los Angeles for the sale of the coupler. Mr. T. S. Grimshaw was at work yesterday, manufacturing some very neat and substantial boxes, designed for the exportation of butter from Westminster. P. A. Clark, agent for the Eclipse Wind Mill, is doing a good business, a fact to be accounted for as much by his business tact as by the superiority of the Eclipse over all other windmills. Quite a number of Anaheim Odd Fellows will go to Los Angeles this morning to participate in the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the new Odd Fellow's Hall. The majority of the visitors will go up in coaches, so that they will be able to return home this evening. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] The railroad men were made happy by the arrival of the pay car yesterday. The name, S. H. Butterfield; the place, Bolsa Chies; the time, Saturday; the cause, stingaroo; the cure, whis—ammonia. Musk melons and water melons are now plenty in town and can be bought at catable rates. There was considerable of what our friend the stage man call "kalarupping," among the sore heads yesterday. The shipments from the depot this morning were: Two boxes butter, 98 skins potatoes, 1 sack indee, 7 care sheep. R. M. Barham of Anaheim, and W. D. Morton of Santa Ana have been appointed members of the Democratic Central Committee. The Democratic Convention. At a few minutes past eleven o'clock Wednesday morning, Mr. M. J. Newmark, Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, called the convention to order in Union Hall and invited the delegates to come within the railings and occupy their seats. Mr. Newmark felt highly gratified with the character of the committee. As a Democrat, he hoped that personal consideration would be regarded of secondary importance, to the good of the party. He wanted the members of the Convention to consider that at this last election, every Democrat in the land had been dislarchished. Harmony is positively necessary for our general political safety. Mr. A. C. Baker nominated Judge Chas. Lindsley of Montana as temporary Chairman of the Convention. The question was put to vote and declared carried, when a division of the house was called for. Upon division forty-nine delegates stood up. The contrary side of the question brought only one delegate half way to his feet, and elicited a storm of good natured applause. Mr. Newmark then introduced Judge Lindley as temporary Chairman with a few complimentary remarks. Judge Lindley, upon taking the chair, asked the indulgence of the Convention on regulations as he was somewhat in parliamentary law. He gave some good advice relative to the adoption of a platform such that we can all rally upon and perhaps include some of the enemy. On this foundation we should place the best men in nomination, and should go forth without any of those conventional breaches which sometimes occur. On motion of Mr. Broderick, Mr. Robt. S. Lynch was elected temporary Secretary. On motion of Mr. Hinda, of Wilmington, the Chairman appointed a Committee of on Credentials and Permanent Organization. Judge Lindley named the following Committee: Hinda, of Wilmington; McLain, of El Monte; Dr. Edwards, of Pasadena; Dr. Richardson, of Los Angeles; Steel, of Downey; Hirpman, of Anaheim; Cummings, Santa Ana. Pending the report of the Committee the Convention took an adjournment till 1 p.m. The following is a summary of the proceedings of that body, compiled from the Los Angeles papers: The committee on resolutions submitted a platform which was unanimously approved. G. H. Smith and E. J. C. Kowen were put in nomination for Senator. The ballot resulted in 61 for Smith and 17 for Kowen. For the Assembly, the nominations were J. C. Morgan, T. W. Dawson, R. W. Scott, Aaa Ellis and J. B. Holloway. Result of ballot: Ellis, 53; Holloway, 43; Scott, 10; Dawson, 12; Morgan, 33. For District Attorney, Frank Ganahl, C. or rather what was intended for a bridge, but for the past two works there has been an absent plank, making a delightful place to break a home's leg. We could stand this negligence for a weak as so, but it becomes monotonous in time. X. Y. Z. July 25, 1877. Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Mr. Isbell, of Orange, and Mr. J. C. Dickey of this place, are the most prominent candidates now in the field for Governor of San Joaquin township. M. P. Parker was in town Monday, looking brown as a berry after his appearance in the mountains. The Orange Drug Store was broken into last Sunday by Messrs. Gardner and Burtts. Nonreceipts have been made as yet. A surprise party was held at the residence of Chas. Layman last Friday night. Over fifty persons were present and a thorough good time was held. There not being dancing room enough for all, the party adjourned to Sycamore Hall where the "light funeral" was tripped until two in the morning. We have been informed that a ticket has been formed for officers for Tustin City headed by Mr. C. Turfin for Mayor. We will give you the balance of the names as soon as we can get them. Messrs.

We are glad to learn from your able Orange correspondent that it is the intention of that Republican stronghold to support republican nominees for the legislature. X. Y. Z is mistaken in some of his remarks, but we will not discuss them, as the main point is unity of action among republicans in regard to the matter. Candidates for Constable are daily increasing. We hear several new names mentioned for Justice of the Peace. A Principal of the Public Schools has not been selected as yet. Consequently, the numerous applicants are enjoying themselves on the "rangged edge," &c. That hardy son of Vulcan, Mr. John Lowe, has left the Bachelor's Club and joined the benedict's order. He and his fair bride put in an appearance here last Friday." May they live long and prosper," is the wish of all who know them. Selah. July 23, 1877. A Hayward woman having everything in readiness.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The water question is now assuming the form of two separate companies, of which we know but little and can find out less by inquiry. Sam Shrewsbury passed through town on Monday, on his way up the canyon from Laguna. He reports everything pleasant at the seaside, and all hands happy. P. Bowers has resigned his position as Supt., of the Semi-Tropic Water Co., and F. Isbell takes his place. It is now proposed to try a few rods of concrete zanja as an experiment. We are told that at Lompoc they are using a concrete ditch that was built 100 years ago by the padres and it is a decided success. Mr. Howard will erect a residence in town soon and bring on his family. We are informed the Literary Society at Mr.Tiebout's on Saturday evening, was an enjoyable affair. The committee were not all present, and the music was all that could be desired by the most fastidious. In the course of his evidence in the trial of Mr.Bradlaugh for publishing an alleged obscene book, Dr.Drysdale, senior physician to the Free Hospital, said that his hospital life had led him to see a great deal of the poor, and he had often been shocked at the degree of poverty and misery which prevailed among them, and he should say that a great deal of it was caused by large families and the excessive rapidity with which poor women bore children who came into the world showing symptoms of disease in consequence of it. Sir W.Jenner first drew his attention to it, and he had often observed how the first child was very well, and the second pretty well, while the third and fourth were weak and rickety in consequence of insufficient nutrition, and died off rapidly. The mortality among the children of the poor was rather higher now than 20 years ago. They died three times as fast as the children of the rich. Chief Justice said that "a more ill-advised and injudicious prosecution had never been instituted." The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has just rendered a decision which, if sustained in this State, will cause serious trouble among the capitalists and moneyed institutions in California. William H.Woods, a prominent member of the Huntingdon bar, brought suit against James North et al., parties doing business at the Union Bank of Huntingdon, to recover on a note of which the following is a copy: "HUNTINGDON, Pa., May 5, 1875. $337.00.-Sixty days after date, I promise to pay to the order of W.H.Woods, at the Union Bank of Huntingdon, three hundred and seventy-seven dollars, and fire per cent collection fee if not paid when due, with defalcation, value received. "SAMUEL STEEPY." At maturity the note remained unpaid. Protest was waived and suit instituted against Mr.Woods, the endorser.The trial came off before Judge Orvis.it was contended by the defense that the note was not negotiable because of the "5per cent" clause,and that the endorser should be discharged from all obligation.The Court.in addressing the jury,said:"We instruct you as a matter of law,the addition of these words (the five per cent.clause) does not destroy the negotiability of the note,and it does not release Mr.Woods,the defendant.from his liability as an endorser upon it."Mr.Woods appealed the case to the Supreme Courtwhich reversed the decision of the Court below.on which a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times remarks: "The result of the decision of the Supreme Court in this case is to discharge endorsers from hundreds of thousands of dollars of objection." P. Bowers has resigned his position as Supt. of the Semi-Tropical Water Co., and F. Isabel takes his place. It is now proposed to try a few rods of concrete zanja as an experiment. We are told that at Lompoc they are using a concrete ditch that was built 100 years ago by the padres and it is a decided success. Mr. Howard will erect a residence in town soon and bring on his family. We are informed the Literary Society at Mr. Tiebout's, on Saturday evening, was an enjoyable affair. The committee were not all present, and the music was all that could be desired by the most instudious. J. W. Anderson & Co. have removed into their own building, and have things quite easy. Mr. Draper, of Santa Ana, is spoken of by his friends as an Independent Republican candidate for Constable. If what we hear of Mr. Draper is true, we feel safe in recommending him to the people as a worthy applicant for the people's officer. N. D. Harwood is mentioned for the responsible position of Notary Public. Mr. Harwood is an efficient postmaster and we hope will receive the appointment. Corrections in our last—That "sweet perfumed pig sty" is in the rear of the Santa Ana Hotel, instead of in it. It was Dr. Bartnett instead of Cummins that was in town on professional business. 102 at Riverside last week in the coolest place. Major Jim Hickey, candidate for Constable of Santa Ana, was in town Tuesday. It is stated by several that Jim will make a strong run. We learn to-day that the water question will be settled amicably, and citizens in general will receive justice. This is all that has ever been asked. We were favored with some very fine music on Tuesday by an amateur, but as the ex-Judge said his instrument was new and did not exactly fit his small mouth, we hope to witness another exhibition of his skill after a reasonable time is allowed for practice. Lockhart Brothers' artesian well is now down 220 feet. The water is about 20 feet from the surface. The picnic in Santiago on Tuesday they say was pleasant. There were about twenty in attendance. Dr. Joslin and family left for the Laguna on Wednesday. Prof. Hall leaves to-day for the same locality. Frank Cobler was in town last week. Dr. Baker called around the other day. His poultry enjoys excellent health this warm weather. On the road to Santa Ana there is a bridge, came off before Judge Orvis. It was contended by the defense that the note was not negotiable because of the "5 per cent" clause, and that the endorser should be discharged from all obligation. The Court, in addressing the jury, said: "We instruct you, as a matter of law, that the addition of these words (the five per cent. clause) does not destroy the negotiability of the note, and it does not release Mr. Woods, the defendant, from his liability as an endorser upon it." Mr. Woods appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which reversed the decision of the Court below, on which a correspondent-of the Philadelphia Times remarks: "The result of the decision of the Supreme Court in this case is to discharge endorsers from hundreds of thousands of dollars of obligations in the Juniata Valley. The banking institutions have nearly or quite all used such notes, and they have been endeavoring to renew their paper in legal form since the decision of the Supreme Court; but in many cases where the drawers have become embarrassed, the endorsers have refused to sign new notes." Founded as it is, upon the common law principle that a promise to pay must be absolute, not conditional, upon the part of the endorser we presume the decision will be sustained in the States where the question is tried. An Old Horse—The Woodland Mail states this: "A horse died on James Moore's ranch on Tuesday of last week which had a history. He was born in Texas in 1838, and was consequently 39 years old. He belonged to G. W. Grayson, a resident of Oakland, and crossed the plains with his owner who brought with him a drove of cattle in 1854. He was in the Indian war near Tucson, and stood the brunt of battle, and figured in many scenes in the wilds of the mountains, the desert and the plains. He was a splendid animal, gentle and kind, and has done good service. During the past six years he has been tenderly cared for by Mr. Moore. He died without a blemish on his limbs or a reproach upon his character, and was decently buried, after life's fitful fever was over. We believe we never heard of a horse living to such an age before." Norristown Herald: A San Francisco paper says that an egg laid upon the deck-plating of a monitor which is being rebuilt at Vallejo, was cooked hard by the heat of the sun. The price of coal will have to advance considerably higher than it is at present before it will pay families to keep monitors in their back yards on which to cook their eggs. Never sit down on a cactus. Such exotics are easily injured. ANNOUNCEMENTS R. D. Pitt WILL BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE STATE Legislature, subject to the decision of the Republican County Convention. N. L.

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 Ellipse. For the protection of those who might temporarily purchase it, we desire to publicly caution all against buying and paying for any such Wind Mill as they will be called on twice to pay for the same thing. The Aldrich Wind Mill intends 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 prepare 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 slats inside his wheel, that are supposed to not in place of our side frame, and the entire working and regulating devices come from other mills and are not patented or claimed by Aldrich, but are infringements upon other patents.
