Both parties will appear before Justice Clark to-day to testify in the matter. Santa Ana Times: A petition and remonstrance is being circulated and numerously signed, praying that the Board of Supervisors will not form a new township from that portion of San Joaquin township lying southeast of Santa Ana, and to be known as "Jackson Township." Santa Monica Outlook: We have it from reliable authority that the wharf at Santa Monica is to be enlarged, and the freights of all kinds—coal, lumber, grain, wine, wool, fruits, merchandise, etc.—will be transferred from ship, to car and car to ship, at this point.

A call has been issued in Los Angeles for a meeting of laboring men, to take place this evening. The following is the platform proposed: First—To organize a labor movement for the protection of white labor. Second—To hold a public meeting in front of the Court House; on Main Street, with speeches, etc., in favor of said movement. Third—To pledge ourselves not to vote for any candidate for town, county, State or National office who, or whose family employs, or allows a Chindman to be employed, in his factory, his family, or in any way whatsoever in which he may in any way be connected. Fourth—We will condemn any lawlessness or depredations committed upon Chinamen or other disobedience of the law. Fifth—We believe in §2 a day and roast beef, as in days of yore. Sixth—the Union of these United States of America, and a Government of equal justice to all citizens thereof. The call is signed by Alfred Moore, who engineered the anti-coolie movement a year ago which nearly degenerated into a riot. The Express sensibly says that there is not the slightest necessity for such a meeting, and that in the present feverish state of the public mind, the movement is anwise in the extreme. Anaheim Literary Society. ANAHEIM, July 30, 1877. The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Kroger's Hall pursuant to adjournment, President Theo. Lynill in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved, after which the President deliver- We will merely tell a story and we think that every statement at the head of it is stranger than truth.

Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: L Summerfield, 1 case shoes; J J Dyer, 5 boxes soda water; Gaddy & Lewis, 8 sacks bran; J K Truffee, 2 horses. We direct attention to the advertisement of the new College at Downey City. Prof. Munroe, whom we had the pleasure of meeting last evening, informs us that one hundred and twenty pupils have already been pledged—sufficient to make the enterprise a success. Firemen's Meeting. The regular meeting of the Anaheim Fire Company was held last evening. The report of the Committee on By-laws was adopted. It was resolved that a picnic be given on Sunday, August 26th, and the following gentlemen were appointed: Committee of Arrangements—M. L. Wicks, G. D. Plato, Theo. Lynill, D. R. Payne, C. Bennerscheidt. F. Backs was elected Treasurer, with bonds fixed at $1,000. The following communication, addressed to the Chief, was read: I have been requested to call your attention to the action taken some time since by the Board of Trustees of Anaheim in regard to refunding money expended by the Fire Department in the purchase of certain enumerated articles. On motion it was resolved that if the said articles were procured that the town of Anaheim would, out of the tax collected this Fall, return one hundred dollars of said amount without interest. M. L. Wicks, Clerk. On motion, it was ordered that the Chief The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Kroger's Hall pursuant to adjournment, President Theo. Lynill in the chair.

The Chair appointed as a committee to decide upon the merits of the debate, Miss Austin and Messrs. Sheffield and Nagle. The following question was then discussed, "Resolved, That wealth exerts more influence than knowledge." The affirmative was maintained by Messrs. Montgomery, Cahill and Beebe, and the negative by Messrs. Henderson and Austin. The committee gave a decision in favor of the affirmative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is, "Resolved, That to have many enemies is a higher proof of merit than to have many friends."

FICTION STRANGER THAN TRUTH! The Spirit of Violence reaches Anaheim Landing—Violent Anti-Coal Demonstration—Herod of Menns-Langenberger and Schubert. We remember having real, many years ago, an elaborate magazine article on "Suicide," in which the distinguished author endeavored to prove that suicide was as contagious as scarlet fever, small-pox or other epidemic diseases, and cited in defense of his theory the fact that there was periodically an epidemic of suicides, which, taking rise in some large city, spread over the entire State, visiting the smallest hamlet within its borders ere it exhausted itself. The theory is a very plausible one, and has many believers. We ourselves believe that not only is the suicidal mania far-reaching in its effects, but that every public uprising—such as the one which for the past two weeks has convulsed nearly every city in the Union—spreads by a subtle sympathy until its direful effects are felt in the most remote settlement. These preliminary remarks occur to us in view of the extraordinary occurrences which have taken place at Anaheim Landing during the past week. One would naturally suppose that in that quiet retreat, far from the haunts of men, the demon of discord would not penetrate. But alas! and alack a day! The thrilling but brief story which follows was narrated by Messara, Fred Langenberger and Ed. Schubert, but we despair of being able to give our readers an impression of the graphic style in which the narrative was told. We will merely tell a plain, unvarnished tale, and we think that everyone will agree that, as stated at the head of this article, "fiction is stranger than truth." It seems that the very full telegraphic reports of the riots in the East and in San Francisco, as published by the GAZETTE, were eagerly read, not only by the many visitors at the Landing, but also by the employees of the Lighter Company and of Halberstadt & Co. From reading these reports their minds became so inflamed and imbued with the spirit which actuated their toiling brethren in other parts, that a strike was immediately Santa Ana Itemk. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. We have just received the full ticket from a prominent citizen of Tustin City. We translate it, verbatim et literal: Mayor, C. Tustin; Alderman, T. Jacobs; City Treas., G. W. Milner; City Clerk, C. M. Benson; City Attorney, M. V. Stine; Dog-petter, G. A. Gatzeron; Pound Master, "Spotted Dog" Walker; Justice of the Peace, J. J. Johnson; Constable, G. Funk; Chief of Police, Mick Schrimp; City Marshal, Hopeful Wilcox; Interpreter, B. King; State Senator, Hen Lee; Assemblymen, G. Beckingham Patrick and H. H. Willard; Minister to Arizona, D. Leighton, Esq. The above ticket will be voted for at the next general election. By order of the water committee. Bob Humphrey's tin shop is located on Main street, opposite the Santa Ana Hotel. What Bob can't make in the tinware line isn't worth making. Messara. Furlong and Doggart have returned from the San Juan springs. It is remarkable how small a provocation is required to cause certain people who otherwise are seldom heard of, to rush into print. One man did so because we mentioned the fact that he had been spoken of as a candidate for some petty local office. The news-gatherer considers the persons spoken for any public position of secondary importance, as far as the items of news are concerned. It is also remarkable that this class of over-sensitive (?) persons never put in a disclaimer until they discover that they have not the remotest chance for a nomination or election. A Los Angeles firm bought up from four to five thousand sacks of corn and stored it in Santa Ana some time ago, with the expectation of selling at an advance. This shows how little Los Angeles knows of the resources of this end of the county. McFadden Broa are now shipping it to Newport Landing to send to San Francisco. A prominent citizen of our town took a bath the other day and he found a lot of underclothing which he had accused the Chinamen of stealing. He was so impressed with the value of baths lay this incident, that he offered the owner of this particular bath house $2000 for the right of running the same in this county. Mrs. and Mrs. Harlan have returned from their visit to Kentucky and Tennessee. They are firmly convinced that this is the best quarter of the globe in which to live. Owing to excursions, picnics, dances, church revivals and festivals, the doctors are having their hands full in this vicinity. The infusion of healthy blood into the new drama not on the bills. Those who go to Harry Hill's—perhaps not many who read this paper—will have noticed a favorite performer there who sang songs in a high falsetto voice, and who accompanied herself on a drum. She was sure of one recall, and most times, two or three. Her song-and-drum-solo of Saturday night was not less well received than for any evening for a week before, but she did not respond to the clapping of hands and the stamping of feet that gathered in force as she still failed to appear; and it was only by a raise that the manager at last diverted his motley audience from their insistent demand. But whether or not the manager had succeeded, this little actress could not for the life of her have faced the audiences again that night. Mlle Claire—so her name was on the bills, though that is not what she is called at her now cheerless home—is married to a shiftless person, and supported husband and child on the pittance she got for her stage work. This evening she had left her little girl, barely ten months old, in her garret-room, sick and feverish. It needed above all things, a mother's care; but variety-performers, not less than seamstresses and shop-girls and such worthless folk, have no right to indulge in the finer feelings when their employers need their work. So she left the child in her father's care and went to the theatre. Close following her departure came a relapse, a convalescence, and what little life the child had was gone out to its Maker. The husband sought the show-house. "How is the child?" was her first inquiry, and while his lips declared to her that it was still sleeping, his manner belied his words. He dared not tell her all, lest her stage-work be imperiled. But to the other "ladies" of the troupe he mentioned the fact of the dead child as home with strict injunctions that they "were not to tell her a word of it yet." Their faces and whispered words fanned the suspicion which was growing on her mind, but just then the manager shouted: "Miss Claire will favor us with a drum chorus," and the drummer-girl stepped out before the foot-lights with a courtsey, a salute and a mirthless smile. She rattled off her part and hurried back to the little dressing room, just in time to catch a half sentence which told the truth. With a faint cry she dropped to the floor, the sticks falling from her pulses hand, her jaunty hat and feathers rolling away beneath the feet of her hurrying sisters. The house meanwhile claimed for an encore. The stage-manager was beside himself, shouted to the orchestra for a clog-dance, and the crowd was satisfied. But behind the scenes the woman lay in her insensibility. Then she was taken to her dead child, the shouts and stamping of the headless throng following her as she stumbled out of the door. Harry Hill's had We will merely tell a plain, unadorned tale, and we think that everyone will agree that, as stated at the head of this article, "fiction is stranger than truth." It seems that the very full telegraphic reports of the riots in the East and in San Francisco, as published by the GAZETTE, were eagerly read, not only by the many visitors at the Landing, but also by the employes of the Lighter Company and of Halberstadt & Co. From reading these reports their minds became so inflamed and imbued with the spirit which actuated their toiling brethren in other parts, that a strike was immediately decided upon by the employees aforementioned, while among the visitors and other roughs a violent anti-Chinese fever broke out, and vows of extermination were made. But to the everlasting honor and glory of Messrs. Schubert and Langenberger, he it said that they used all their persuasive eloquence to avert the threatened outbreak. But their pleadings were disregarded, and their prayers fell on stony ground. The rest of the story is briefly told. Thirteen of the lighters were carried two miles inland and a force of strikers were left to guard them until the bloody monopolists conceded to the demand of $100 a month, forty acres and a mule to each man, woman and child in the precinct. After placing the guard, the balance of the strikers hurried back to where the calm and peaceful waters of the Pacific dash with irresistible forces against the pebbly shore, and assisted in the work of carnage which had been inaugurated in their absence. "Death to the Hated Mongol!" was the cry, and when night came there was not insane Celestial left to tell the tale. The fiends only reasted from their work of destruction when the last vestige of the hated race had been wiped off the face of the earth; and even then they, like Alexander of old, sat down and howled because there was no more bloody work to do. But why enter into sickening details? We confess that our heart revolts at the thought of being more explicit. We doubt not that our informants will willingly relate the occurrence to the curious. It only remains for us to accord high praise to the Messrs. Langenberger and Schubert for their gallant bearing during the trying scenes we have endeavored to depict. At an early hour Mr. Langenberger saw several Chinamen in a boat several miles up the creek, making frantic efforts to escape from the wrath to come. With that chivalry which is such a conspicuous and admirable trait in his character, he immediately proceeded to their assistance, and by his efforts they reached a place of safety. But upon his return, late at night, the horrible work had begun done, and there was no opportunity given him for a further display of gallantry. Mr. Schubert, however, performed several prodigious feats of valor during the day. At one stage of the game, a beautiful Chinese maiden flew into his bosom, and with arms around his neck and her liquid eyes looking into his, she pleaded for his protection. Just then a bloodthirsty ruffian appeared upon the scene with a 24-foot scantling, and aimed a blow at the devoted head of the fair damsel. But the force of the blow destroyed the accuracy of the aim, and as the weapon descended it struck Shubert's left ear and glanced off. The concussion broke the scantling into splinters, and the maiden's life was saved. What Beecher Says. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said on the evening of July 22d: "This has been a Sab-bath of peace and tranquility in our city, but it has been far from peaceful in many countries." Civil discussions and A prominent citizen of our town took a bath other day and he found a lot underclothing which he had accused the Chinamen of stealing. He was so impressed with the value of baths by this incident, that he offered the owner of this particular bath house $2000 for the right of running the same in this county. Mrs. and Mrs. Harlan have returned from their visit to Kentucky and Tennessee. They are firmly convinced that this is the best quarter of the globes in which to live. Owing to excursions, picnics, dances, church revivals and festivals, the doctors are having their hands full in this vicinity. The infusion of healthy blood into the new school board of this district will produce good results. The people will soon find out the financial condition of the district at least. The Democracy of this place are very much dissatisfied, because the convention completely ignored this part of the county. The Republicans are very well satisfied with the result of Saturday's Convention, and are confident of winning next September. A meeting of democratic soreheads took place in front of the Star Restaurant, at which the Los Angeles Democracy were denounced in unqualified terms. Our particular friend from Egypt, Illinois, thought that, since Stephens had been nominated for County Judge, his "occupation was gone." Whitehead swore he would "bolt the ticket," and Kimball made a powerful effort to find a trace of gold or silver in a piece of mice, and the never-sweat boss said that he had performed his part of the contract; he could do no more. Tom Ellis swore he would support the Temperance ticket. The squatters, without regard to party, will vote against C. E. Thom for District Attorney, so many of them assert. August 30. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Mr. Walter Weaver and Clarence Parker took a little walk of 18 miles this week, for exercise. They called on Sam Shrewsbury and his jolly brother at their mountain retreat. The new blacksmith shop of Mr. Hunt is fast nearing completion. Now we want a harness-maker, shoe shop, tin smith, and wagon maker; but they must conform to reason in their charges and not, like certain Santa Ana wood-butchers, charge until they are black in the face and still nod their head. Mr. Howard has about completed his residence on the corner of Walnut and Olive streets. His family has arrived and appear well satisfied with the prospects of our country. Dr. Joslin's family are rusticating at the Laguna; A. C. Bowera is visiting at Laguna; several rattle-snakes have been killed at the Laguna; Mr. Sibley and family visit Laguna; the rest of us will remain at home. We hear rumors of a strike in Tustin. Two Chinamen have made their appearance in town, and the loafers fear that their rights to work one-half day and "bum" the rest will be infringed on; hence the excitement. T. B. Hulse struck water at 56 feet and has a fine well. He thinks he has water sufficient to irrigate with. The zanjas begin to give satisfaction again under the people's management, and proves the validity of the saying "If you want a think well done, do it yourself." El Ladd, we learn, lost a horse from the Black Canyon. It is singular men are fools enough to steal a horse this hard year unless they can steal a hay-stack also. R. L. Crowder, for fear of a strike is foot-lights with a courtsey, a salute and a mirthless smile. She rattled off her part and hurried back to the little dressing room, just in time to catch a half sentence which told the truth. With a faint cry she dropped to the floor, the sticks falling from her pulseless hand, her jaunty hat and feathers rolling away beneath the fleet of her hurrying sisters. The house meanwhile claimed for an encore. The stage-manager was beside himself, shouted to the orchestra for a clog-dance, and the crowd was satisfied. But behind the scenes the woman lay in her insensibility. Then she was taken to her dead child, the shouts and stamping of the headless throng following her as she stumbled out of the door. Harry Hill's had had one drama of which she gaudy posters gave no hint—New York World. If this is all true, Alden & Co. can hang their harps upon the willows at once: A practical physician—Dr J.W.Davenport, of Dallas, Texas—has obtained a patent which promises to be of great usefulness. It is simply a fluid for keeping all kinds of fruits, vegetables and meats fresh and sweet. The aim of the chemist has been to discover the ingredients of a pickle which would arrest the progress of decomposition and extinguish the garnet of decay of all animal and vegetable substances, without impairing their flavor or imparting to them any injurious effect. It is simply a pickle of the most inexpensive sort, costing less than brins or vinegar in any meat or vegetable may be kept in open vessels, submerged for months, and when taken out will be found as pure and fresh as when the vegetables came from the garden or the meat from the butterer's stall. This pickle may be furnished and prepared at a cost of four cents per barrel. The pickle is so nearly tasteless and palatable as to demonstrate its innocuosity, and yet, from the specimen we saw yesterday green corn, which had been in it for twelve months when boiled, could not be distinguished from the corn which had been gathered from the corn which had been gathered from morning Mutton and pork-chops, and even pabahottes placed in this pickle weeks ago, when subjected to heat, had preserved all their original freshness and flavor. N: O. Democrat. The Henry county (Mo.) Democrat relates that "A citizen of Seicholia passing along N.H.Gentry's farm saw a negro busily engaged in swinging a huge fan over the prostrate form of a sow. The sow was named Duchessa, a fine blooded animal purchased by Mr. Gentry with two others, three costing sum of $1,500. She has six pigs, and a megman is constantly watching that she mother may not lie down on the little fellows and kill them. The sow weighs between 600 and 700 pounds, and during the warm weather must receive the undivided attention of a waiter whose duties are to sprinkle water on her and fan her. This will not amaze the reader when he considers that the value of sow and her pigs is over $1,000." Austin Rereiels: A woman went into a Main street store this morning and purchased a pick-handle. No questions were asked her; she polite clerk not even intimating a desire to know if she was going prospecting; but she volunteered information that she intended to make her husband and that carrot-headed old cat understand that she was not dead yet; even if she did have a consumptive cough, a weeping eye, false teeth,a big humion and symptoms ofthe hip complaint. There is one man in this town who will hearthe toe-in war sound pretty soon. Thermometrical Record. The following is our record for the week ending Wednesday P.M., Aug 1st, giving lowest point by night preceding date; and highest day: What Beecher Says. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said on the evening of July 22d: "This has been a Sabbath of peace and tranquility in our city, but it has been far from peaceful in many portions of our land. Civil dissensions and riots have disturbed the peace, and men arrayed against the law of society have deplaged the streets of neighboring cities with blood. It has been a day of mourning and grief with many. A body of men, smarting under a fancied wrong, have gathered to assert what they deem is their rights, and they are willing to assert them at the cost of anything." Mr. Beecher, after paying a handsome compliment to the engineers and firemen of the striking band, in which he said they are among the noblest and most trustworthy men in the land, added, "They are, however, entirely in the wrong, as all men are who seek to overthrow the law of the land. This thing would do for the Commune of Paris or the slums of Europe, but it is not to be tolerated by the educated workingmen of America. The civilization of this country will not allow of such outbreaks. This whole strike is the outbreak of the inflated ideas of the war. Wages as well as everything else have been reduced, and where a man made $3 a day in war times, he can now barely make $1. But the strikers are now content to refuse to work for $1 a day, but they say to their neighbor, if we cannot get $2 or $3 a day, and if we can't live on $1 we will not allow you to do so, although you may be able to get along. We will get our price and we will not allow anyone to take our place. Now, this is contrary to the freedom of our country and its free laws. No man has any right in this country to make laws for his neighbors. If he had such a right we would have a worse despotism than that of the monarchies of old Europe." Mr. Beecher concluded with these remarks: "Woe unto the misguided men who have risen against the laws of the country. In a few days the mighty arm of the country will sweep them away, and the places that know them once will know them no more. They will be swept away because they do not represent the strong, solid will of the people. They are merely an insurrectionary class." In his prayer Mr. Beecher prayed for aid and sympathy for the strikers. Take Norion—Dr. Galick's days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Two Chinamen have made their appearance in that town, and the loafers fear that their rights to work one-half day and "bum" the rest, will be infringed on; hence the excitement. T. B. Hulse struck water at 56 feet and has a fine well. He thinks he has water sufficient to irrigate with. The zanjas begin to give satisfaction again under the people's management, and proves the validity of the saying "If you want a think well done, do it yourself." Ell Ladd, we learn, lost a horse from the Black Canyon. It is singular men are foolish enough to steal a horse this hard year unless they can steal a hay-stack also. R. L. Crowder, for fear of a strike, is erecting a fortification in the rear of his building, of immense size, composed of bales of hay at gold coin per ton. Any other country in the world with no rain for six months would almost be uninhabitable on account of dust. But here our streets are clean, and drives fine as a Nickelson pavement. The annual grape thieving has begun, and it is astonishing to see people walk into their neighbor's vineyard as independent as a "hog on ice" and help themselves—people that would not take a dine from you in the world—but then, they can steal your fruit with impunity. A few of the numerous friends of Charles Edward Parker have been talking to the point, and urging him to run for Constable. We haven't learned whether he will consent or not. It is estimated that there are upwards of 1,000 inhabitants in this precinct. We look for quite an immigration to this vicinity this fall and winter, from letters received by the Land Agent, from Eastern people. Parker, M. F., says he has room for them all on good lands, at low figures. Arthur Johnston and wife were married on Tuesday evening, it being their wooden wedding. They went at it in a business-like manner, and, strange to say, neither of them blushed to any great degree during the ceremony. We hope they will continue as one and act as two every year for a thousand years or so. Swimming in the zanja, and at the ponds made by the "fills" is a favorite afternoon pastime. X.Y.Z. August 1st, 1877. Barnum is trying to add Sitting Bull to his show, which is now out on a two years' tour of the country. The Dramatic News says that he sent an agent and a civilized Indian three months ago, to engage the Sioux chief. They found him in Canada, and made a bargain with him, conditional on the United States Government permitting him to return to this country without arrest. Barnum addressed a petition to Secretary Schurz before starting for Europe. Main street store this morning and purchased a pick-handle. No questions were asked her, the polite clerk not even intimating a desire to know if she was going prospecting, but she volunteered the information that she intended to make her husband and that carroty-headed old can understand that she was not dead yet, even if she did have a consumptive cough, a weeping eye, false teeth, a big bunion and symptoms of the hip complaint. There is one man in this town who will hear the toocin of war sound pretty soon. Thermometrical Record.

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 paying for any such Wind Mill as they will be called on twice to pay for the same thing. The Aldrich Wind Mill infringes 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 slats made his wheel, that are supposed to act in place of our side vane, and the entire working and regulating device comes 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 see some honest purchaser half the price of his mill. Mr. C. P. Hoag, o'lan 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. E. LUEDKE. Watch Maker and Jeweler, Centre Street, Anaheim. EVERY DESCRIPTION OF WATCHER, CLOOKS, AND JEWERY CAN BE REPAIRED AND WARRANTYed. Also, a fine adjustment of Jewelry on hand.
