[FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.]
The Democracy will hold a meeting in Anaheim on Monday, September 2d.
Forepaugh's Circus and Menagerie will visit Anaheim about the latter part of next month.
The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 17 bales wool, 6 kegs beer, 15 pipes wine.
A Spanish campaign paper will be issued in Los Angeles in a few days. It will advocate the election of the Republican candidates.
Remember that there will be a special meeting of the Fire Company this evening at 7:30. A full attendance of members is urgently requested.
The Band last evening had Mr. Ben Dreyfus welcome by giving him a fine sereenade. A number of friends of Mr. D. accompanied the Band to emphasize the welcome.
As a little son of Mr. Backa was playing in the new brick building opposite the Gazette office yesterday, he stumbled and fell into the cellar, and sustained very severe but not serious bruises about the head.
A letter was received yesterday from Adolph Rimpan. He is at Fillmore, a town of some importance in Utah, located about 75 miles from Salt Lake. His sheep are in fine condition and improving.
Rev. Mr. Condit and wife, who have been acting as missionaries to the Chinese in Los Angeles for the past eighteen months, have been transferred to the Oakland miscellaneous office.
The rule compelling the dropping from the Great Register of the names of all persons who have not voted for three years past will reduce the book as compared with last year, some eight or nine hundred names.
The amount appropriated to Los Angeles county, from the State School Fund, is $13,729. The total number of children in the county between five and seventeen years of age, is 10,237. The amount per child is $1.234.
Freight for the following persons was receivet at the depot last night: J J Williams, 46 pkgs fruit; R L Crowder & Co., 2 pkgs maid; G H Settler, 4 axle arms; M Mendelson, 1 case dry goods, 2 bbls wine; R H Dibble, 1 case coal tar; G Davis, 1 bird cage; L Wolf, 1 case wine; P Davis & Bro, 1 box soap; A Hindle, 8 beer kegs; A L. I case soap.
Messrs. Goodman & Rimpau announce in our advertising columns that they have made a reduction in the price of their goods, in order to clear their shelves for the reception of a new stock. This scale of reduced prices will only be maintained for the next thirty days, and those desiring anything in the dry goods line should avail themselves of an opportunity seldom offered.
Ben Sheffield and his sister, Miss Fanny, will on Monday take their departure for Minnesota, to be gone at least two years. The number of young ladies and gentlemen in Anaheim is not so large as to cause a decrease in the number to be looked upon with indifference, especially when the departing ones have become such favorites as Mr. and Miss Sheffield. In expressing the hope that their return to our city will be sooner than now anticipated, we but echo the wish felt by their many friends.
Somebody by the name of E. W. Squire prints an affidavit in the Herald setting forth that Col. Eastman has done something which he had a perfect right to do; and straightway the Herald builds up an argument, with Squares affidavit for a text, to show that Brunson should not be elected District Attorney! It may be barely possible that Brunson has a very wicked partner, but we fail to see the justice of saidling Eastman's sins upon his business associate.
Mr. Fischer gave us a particularly good item last evening. He in company with Santa Ana Times.
Anahiem Dileh Co. an injuried by the County Council the Semi-Tropic Water Company the latter Company from irrigation purposes, cut off river. The injunction was day. The Board of Directors Tropic Water Company held Orange on Tuesday at which pointed a committee to go and consult with their attorney thought necessary, to employ man and Graves on the Brunson was consulted by Orange. It is claimed that of no binding force, insufficiency from the County Court District Court, and it is the Directors of the Semi-Tropic continue to take their water—one-half—from the injunction be held good entirely destitute of water garden, orchard and corn be left to dry up for lack of stand as sad evidence of the utter folly of our present villa.

A letter was received yesterday from Adolph Rimpan. He is at Fillmore, a town of some importance in Utah, located about 75 miles from Salt Lake. His sheep are in fine condition and improving.
Rev. Mr. Condit and wife, who have been acting as missionaries to the Chinese in Los Angeles for the past eighteen months, have been transferred to the Oakland mission. Mr. Noyes will have charge of the Los Angeles mission.
We had a visit from Mr. Raine yesterday. His version of the affray at the hop-yard between the Caucasians and Mongolians is substantially the same as published in the Gazette of Sunday. There is now at work in the hop-field sixty white men and women and seventy Indians. The picking will be finished in about ten days.
A committee of those owning land in the extensions of Anaheim has been appointed to try and make arrangements with the Yor-has to let the waste water run into the Anaheim ditch at night. It is believed that if this is done, quite a large stream will reach the town. A committee has also been appointed to confer with the Anaheim Water Company in regard to the same matter.
Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: W II, 4 sacks malt; J P Zoyn, 2 barrels; Cahen & Willard, 8 pkgs mdse, 1 hale cracked wheat; H A Stough, 1 pkge; M J Bundy, 9 pkgs mdse; Edward Bros, 4 egg cases; Mrs M P Lyman, 1 pkge ice; A L, 60 boxes soap; T Reiser, 6 barrels; O Warling, 2 pkgs mdse; J R Paul, 1 coffin, W H & Co, 6 empty boxes; E T, 5 pkgs mdse.
There is no gainsaying the fact that this is particularly "hard year," but notwithstanding this patent fact, Anaheim doesn't seem to have retrograded worth a cent. We do not remember any previous year in which three brick buildings were erected, as is the case this "hard year." The buildings of Conrad, Backa and Davis Bros. have been or will be erected during the year. Two or three such seasons will make a metropolis out of us.
We had the pleasure of welcoming to our sanctum yesterday, Messrs. Tuffree and Jackson. The latter is the Democratic nominee for County Surveyor, and is said to be at the very top of his profession. And writing about the County Surveyorship puts us in mind that John Goldsworthy, the Republican nominee, has been omitted from the ticket as printed on the back of some of the candidates' cards. The omission was purely accidental, and has been remedied since the first cards were printed.
By actual count, there are thirty-two candidates for Constable of San Joaquin Township—and it is still two weeks until election. But from all the information we can gather, it is not difficult to predict who
Somebody by the name of E. W. Squire prints an affidavit in the Herald setting forth that Col. Eastman has done something which he had a perfect right to do; and straightway the Herald builds up an argument, with Squares affidavit for a text, to show that Brunson should not be elected District Attorney! It may be barely possible that Brunson has a very wicked partner, but we fail to see the justice of saddling Eastman's sins upon his business associate.
Mr. Fischer gave us a particularly good item last evening. He, in company with other gentlemen, went up to the mouth of the ditch yesterday, and as a result of the observations made, Mr. F. predicts that the water will reach Anaheim through the ditches to-day. A small stream reached Leonard Parker's farm yesterday. At that point in the ditch where the water sank into the sand, a layer of clay has been put on, which is proving very effectual in preventing waste. It is likely that the water famine is nearly ended.
He is dead! Let the sad requiem be wafted on the circumnambient air. He is dead! Yes, dead as a door nail. Full of years, honors, mange and fleas, he has departed this life. We allude to "Colonel"—a name which was generally abbreviated by his most intimate friends to simple "Kurnel."
It was only the other day that we stopped upon his tail, and now the thought that he is no more nearly unmans us. About ninety years ago, while yet in the heyday of his youth, he was respected by all who knew him. Respected because he had sharp teeth. Which he would use upon occasion. But for some time past he has been notably failing, and yesterday the climax was reached. The blow did not fall unexpectedly, however. For many days it was expected that every minute would be his first. The obsequies take place this morning. Gas Davis is chief mourner. Al Steinbart will write the epitaph. Phil will furnish the head-board.
The following pen-picture of candidate Mitchell is from the Herald:
"He forms a picture for the romancer, as he bounds lithely from his saddle, in canyon or on hillside. His long, flowing board is disheveled. A shocking bad slouch hat crowns the man. Jean overalls, of a dusty yellow, and top boots, proclaims off hand caballero who is fond of 'roughing it.' He is in the very costume of the hardy pursuer of Vasquez."
There's a description for ye. Ain't it pretty! Beautiful picturesque, romantic Mitchell!
[FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY]
Four car loads of sheep and six cases of eggs were shipped from the depot to day.
A pretty fair stream of water reached town yesterday through the ditches.
In the trespass suit of Alfred Robinson va Henry Powell tried before Justice
Dr. Hoffman cautions you lead his ticket twenty votes.
We asked the member County Central Committee why Ah Ling (also member mittee) followed the politic after he had been so unfortunate after his unfortunate minister. He replied that was around to take orders So?
The Fruit-Bow-Wickin Patent applied for says force is the word—both the Times into the Reputhe election is over.
Mr. Lynill said here that Brunson is too good a lace the duties of his office qualified will make a good Thom stated in his speech some time ago that a Deputy was absolutely not stated and pledged himself last that he would not put the county to the extinction a deputy. Lynil was quite good in civil law says that he wishes Lynil opposed compelling the bridges which they had or around, as in Los Angeles.
We have been informed taken about the gas work the purpose of furnishing editor. Mr Fruit informs enough left to last until next week and then look out for a threat.

And writing about the County Surveyorship puts us in mind that John Goldsworthy, the Republican nominee, has been omitted from the ticket as printed on the back of some of the candidates' cards. The omission was purely accidental, and has been remedied since the first cards were printed.
By actual count, there are thirty-two candidates for Constable of San Joaquin Township—and it is still two weeks until election. But from all the information we can gather, it is not difficult to predict who the thirty disappointed ones will be. Orange's favorite candidate, C. E. Parker, will undoubtedly be elected. He is a deserving young man, who will pay a strict attention to the business of his office, and endeavor to serve his constituents as to merit the praise always bestowed upon a faithful official.
[FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.]
Additional committees were appointed last evening to assist in the preparations for the Fireman's picnic on next Sunday.
It is said that the honey dew has been falling in the mountains o' nights lately, much to the relief of the bee-keepers.
The District Judge has not yet rendered his decision upon the demurrer in the case wherein the Cajon Irrigation Co. is plaintiff and the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Co. is defendant.
The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: One trunk, 1 box rainsin, 43 bales wool, 1 plow, 1 coop chickens, 2 aka potatoes, 3 boxes butter, 1 chest tools, 3 kegs wine.
The "Stella" Social Club of Santa Ana will give their first ball on the evening of Friday, Sept. 7. It will be a very select affair and the arrangements will be on an extensive scale.
Apparatus for the Fire Department—bunkets, axes, lanterns, chains, etc., have been purchased in Chicago, and are now on the way to Anaheim. They will probably reach here in a week or ten days.
[FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.]
Four car loads of sheep and six cases of eggs were shipped from the depot to-day.
A pretty fair stream of water reached town yesterday through the ditches.
In the trespass suit of Alfred Robinson vs. Henry Powell, tried before Justice Bailey yesterday, a judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiff for $50.
The San Diego World calls Broadaxe a "ticket o' leave man." This is a base slander. We have every reason to believe that he served his entire term.
The Anaheim Brass Band have volunteered their services for the Fireman's Picnic on Sunday. The candidates are expected to turn out in full force.
A Los Angeles paper is informed that there will probably be no more trials in the District Court until after the election. Judge Sepulveda will leave for San Diego on Friday and on his return he will hold his Court open for naturalizations.
John Bush yesterday received a letter from E. S. Peck, a former resident of Los Nietos, whom Anaheimers well remember. He is in Colorado, where he has acquired large tracts of land. He wrote to Mr. Bush for information as to whether sheep in large numbers could be purchased in this vicinity, and the price at which they were held.
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. Finding herself very much overstocked with this class of millinery goods, she decides upon this plan to close out. Stylish Bonnets, fancy brim and soft crown, for 75 cents; Chip Bonnets, 50; Fine Leghorns, $1 25; Childrens' hats at prices to correspond. Just received this week—an elegant lot of Silks, Ribbons, Veiling and Flowers, in all of the new shades. Ladies consult your interests by calling at once at her Millinery Rooms, next door to Goodman & Rimpau's.
Santa Ana Times: On petition of the Anaheim Diph Co. an injunction has been granted by the County Court against the Semi-Tropic Water Company restraining the latter Company from taking water, for irrigation purposes, out of the Santa Ana river. The injunction was served on Tuesday. The Board of Directors of the Semi-Tropic Water Company held a meeting at Orange on Tuesday at which time they appointed a committee to go to Los Angeles and consult with their attorneys, and also, if thought necessary, to employ Brunson, Eastman and Graves on the defense. Judge Birmon was compiled by the Directors at Orange. It is claimed that the injunction is of no binding force, inasmuch as it was issued from the County Court, instead of the District Court, and it is the intention of the Directors of the Semi-Tropic Company to continue to take their usual quantity of water—one-half—from the river. Should the injunction be held good, we will again be entirely destitute of water for irrigation, and garden, orchard and corn fields alike, will be left to dry up for lack of water, and will stand as said evidence of the inadequacy, the utter folly of our present water system.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
The never sweat bores is running for office and consequently has fallen from grace. He has fallen into the ways of all candidates, notwithstanding his "method" training, and he is hail fellow well met with the "b hoya." He used to take his bitters at home, but he will take them with the "boys" now—until after the election.
Dr. Fickas informs us he is a candidate for Constable.
Dr. Hoffmann, candidate for Coroner, will lead his ticket twenty votes in this precinct.
We asked the member of the Democratic County Central Committee from this place why Ah Ling (also member of the same committee) followed the political speakers around after he had been so unceremoniously choked off after his unfortunate faux pas at Wrestminster. He replied that he "supposed he was around to take orders to air dirty linen."
So?

raged his letter assms that he intends supporting Hilton and several other Republicans candidates. It would be well for the Republican party if the Democratic candidates, with their necessary appendages, give this end of the county another canvass.
It would give Orange many advantages she does not now possess if a direct road should be opened due east corresponding with Chapman street, to the Santiago Canyon. There is now almost a natural road bad, not with but little work a better and shattered by two miles could be made to the picnic grounds. Not only this, but we would hap the trade of the people in the campan. It would also be the main thoroughfare for Anaheim penicers, and make Orange a central point, where many a two-tier place would find a settling place. Think of it. Ornamental.
Westminster Items.
The Republican meeting on Saturday evening was a complete success. W. G. McPherson was chosen Chairman and Messrs Con Howe, Josiah McGoy, T. G. Hall, J. C. Aldridge, J. P. Margnia and H. Steyens, Vice Presidents, Mrs. F. S. Bowley sang to the satisfaction of all, "We've drank from the same canteen," which was duly applauded. No larger audience has ever assembled in the hall, the main and ante rooms being crowded with attentive hearers. The address of the evening was that of Judge Brunson—sharp, cutting, withering sarcoma, couched in perfect language, which made his words ent still deeper. He pretty thoroughly used up Col. Smith and the statement that he was not a railroad man; and said; defying denial, that the firm of Glassell, Chapman & Smiths were the only lawyers the S. P. R. K. Co. had employed to prosecute itself cases in this county, that they are the retained counsel of the railroad, its servants, and asked whether it was probable, if Col. Smith was elected to the Senate he would work there anti-railroad, while the balance of the firm were prosecuting and pleading for the railroad? No, No!—a house divided against itself cannot stand—and lawyers will not so divide. Smith, in Saaramento, will be the servant of the railroad, just as his firm will in Los Angeles. In that what you want?—and this reveals the point of Smith's great hobby on "five tariff" and his plan for free entry of iron. He charged that the Democratic Convention was manipulated by Smith and a railroad manipulator sent from San Francisco for the purpose. Gov. Stanford aims at his table in the railroad office in San Francisco, pulls a cord and up jumps a railroad puppet here to do his will. When you come to the polls remember Smith. He spoke of the abuse hurled at Wiley by the Democratic speakers—Lynill and Ah Ling, at their meeting here. As attorney in many cases where gamblers were interested, he had often
We asked the member of the Democratic County Central Committee from this place why Ah Ling (also member of the same committee) followed the political speakers around after he had been so unconcernedly checked off after his unfortunate faux pas at Westminster. He replied that he "supposed he was around to take orders to air dirty linen." So?
The Fruit-Bow-Wickian paper (N. B. Patent applied for) says that it will force force is the word—both the GAZETTE and the Times into the Republican ranks before the election is over.
Mr. Lynn said here the other night that Brunson is too good a lawyer to attend to the duties of his office. Thom not being qualified will make a good one. Ergo. So?
Thom stated in his speech in the willows some time ago that a Deputy District Attorney was absolutely necessary. Brunson stated and pledged himself on Monday night last that he would not need and would not put the county to the extra expense of furnishing a deputy. Lynn said that Brunson was quite good in civil business. Brunson says that he wishes Lynn was. Brunson opposed compelling the county to build bridges which they had either to drive under or around, as in Los Angeles.
We have been informed that we were mistaken about the gas works being erected for the purpose of furnishing gas for the News editor. Mr. Fruit informs us that he has enough left to last until the campaign is over and then look out for a collapse.
The meeting here last Monday night was a grand success. Judge Brunson had a large audience and particularly distinguished himself and made many converts for the Republican ticket. His Democratic opponents concede that he had the largest audience and made the best speech that has been made during the campaign. H. C. Wiley and his opponent, Major Mitchell, were both present. It is becoming apparent every day that Mr. Mitchell will run behind his ticket on election day, Mr. Robinson, candidate for County Recorder was here, and says he is confident of success. Gen. Wheeler "came up smiling," also, and said that Mr. Potts had to be beat some time or other, and it was about this time of year that he was on the boat. Mr. Barrows made an able address on the great question of railroad monopolies, followed by Judge McComas in the same strain, both creating a good impression. Geo. Kimball, was also on hand and "got in his work" handsomely. The slanders circulated by his opponent has not injured him.
The hoodlums tried to raise a crowd to raid the Chinese wash-houses on the night of the day that the difficulty occurred at the hop-yard. They failed.
The combination which Mr. French proposes between Tustin City and Orange bids fair to succeed, unless some of the patriots of this prescript are willing to bury their patriotism and their desire to serve the country until some future time. We shall see what we shall see.
We go Anaheim one better in the brick building business. One building is quite finished, two more are contracted for, and work will commence next week. Brick buildings anchor a town.
The Anaheim hotels are run by Santa Ana caterers, we found, the other day, while in your village. It needless to say that nothing more is to be desired in your hostelries.
Mr. Gurnsey is building a kiln which will contain, when finished, 300,000 brick. His enterprise deserves success.
Mr. Horace Dubble, will soon commence, we are informed, the erection of a drug store (brick) on the southeast corner of West and San Fernando.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.
The meeting at Santa Ana on the 20th was largely attended, and we must say the candidates conducted themselves gently and with some facts forcibly expressed, won for themselves many a vote.
James Huntington and A.C. Bowers left for San Francisco Tuesday morning on business.
We learn that one of the candidates for Constable asserts that we induced him to come out, and have now "gone back" on him. This is a mistake. We have casually asked him why he did not run, but do not remember ever to have broached the subject until he said he intended running; but as to having promised to support him or any other man we never have nor furthermore, do not intend to. We like others, have a choice, but if on election day a better man than our present choice should come before the people, we are free to support him. These are our views, and it being a tree country we will do as we please in the premises.
The patent mode of guarding your vineyard is to sit in your neighbor's vineyard, eat grapes and keep a close watch across the lines. This information is gratis.
The new Water Company will complete an organization this week.
What difference is there in visiting a vineyard belonging to a neighbor, and filling a sock with his grapes, or visiting his house during his absence and pursuing silver spoons? A few of ye Orangeites propound this question to your own soul—if there be one left.
Newa from Laguna informs us that there are still at that resort some 75 or 100 persons in camp.
We received a daily Review of the 11th; we presume it was sent us on account of a card in which we are taken to task. It is signed J.F. Isabell. We do not know who the gentleman hired to write this article, neither do we care. The whole thing is so absurd that it does not even deserve an examination.
"The boys" gave a social hop at the hotel on Friday evening last. There was quite a respectable number present and the evening was one of the most pleasant that the young folks have enjoyed for a long time.
The Literary Society met at the residence of Geo. J. Mosbaugh on Saturday evening last. The attendance was an average at roll call. Many of the responses were well selected and duly appreciated. The instrumental music, readings and recitations were excellent. Mr. and Mrs. Rice treated the society to some excellent instrumental and vocal music. Mr. Rice's version of "Schneider twentyaniles away" would admit him on the stage—if his ambition leaned in that way. The evening passed pleasantly. Exercises closed to meet in two weeks at the residence of Mr. Baldsala one mile past divide. Smith, in Sacramento, will be the servant of the railroad just as his firm will in Los Angeles. Is that what you want—and this reveals the point of Smith's great hobby on "free tariff" and his plan for free entry of iron. He charged that the Democratic Convention was manipulated by Smith and a railroad manipulator sent from San Francisco for the purpose. Gov. Stanford sits at his table in the railroad office in San Francisco, pulls a cord up jumps a railroad puppet here to do his will. When you come to the polls remember Smith. He spoke of the abuse hurled at Wiley by the Democratic speakers—Lynill and Ah Ling, at their meeting here. As attorney in many cases where gamblers were interested, he had often been obliged to visit their rooms for information, but in none of them had he seen H.C. Wiley. He had seen persons there that if the truth were told, Lynill, Ah Ling, and the Democratic leaders would hang their heads for very shame. In none of the addresses was there one word of abuse such as we have heard from the other side. He explained the charges made against him by the Herald and said that full reply would be made through the same columns. But we can't see how Thom can explain the errors in his official papers—the indictment against the Chinese murderers, which would not hold them after they had been committed to San Quentin; and the Mellus bond. If, as he pretends, he signed that bond without reading it, we do not want him as District Attorney; and if he read it and still repudiates payment of his obligation, he is not the man for the office. The Judge's address was long but all would have gladly listened to him longer.
Mr. Sears informs us that he will run his thresher now, furnishing four men at $2,and the farmer can arrange with the other ten in any way that suits. Also that only the 15 horses going with the machine will have to be fed. Men riding saddle horses must provide for them. This is as fair as anyone is doing in this section.
We meant to this week have visited the grape growers of our section and reported prospects, etc., Also to have learned about the disease that is causing the death of so many cattle and hogs in this vicinity; but have not been able to do so.
The party who have been camping in the San Jacinto mountains returned on Saturday, looking half and hearty, and speak in glow-terms of their trip. We are glad that at least one party had a really pleasant and satisfactory time.
Corn about here is looking and doing as well as any we have ever seen. The yield will be very large. Trees of all kinds are healthy and making strong growth—contrasting greatly with what we have seen elsewhere.
The Choral Union has not disbanded, but meets regularly in the hall every Thursday evening. Members will please remember it.
Mr. Beckett is putting up a small house on his 40, and Galdwell & Chase are boring for him.J.A.Mcadden bored a new well for J.H.Kiefhaber, getting 2½ inches at 100 feet.
The following unclaimed letters remain in the Post office here, and unless called for will be sent to the dead letter office: Geo.Bessonter, 2; E.E.Duncanson, M.D.; Jacob Huntsman, G.Hartel; J.W.Hansard; Jas Reeder; Jas.Taylor; O.W.Ouching; H.W.Wood. Hold for postage—Pacific Business College, San Francisco.
Mr.J.T.Marquis has been appointed a member of the committee to look after and work up the interests of the coming Horticultural Fair to be held in Los Angeles. It is desired that all sections send in samples of their various productions so that the whole of Southern California may be fairly reproducible
We go Anaheim one better in the brick building business. One building is quite finished, two more are contracted for, and work will commence next week. Brick buildings anchor a town.
The Anaheim hotels are run by Santa Ana caterers, we found, the other day, while in your village. It needless to say that nothing more is to be desired in your hostelries.
Mr. Gurnsey is building a kiln which will contain, when finished, 300,000 bricks. His enterprise deserves success.
Mr. Horace Dibble, will soon commence, we are informed, the erection of a drug store (brick) on the southeast corner of West and Fourth streets.
P. Watson will shortly erect a large and commodious tonsorial palace, so he informs us.

The Literary Society met at the residence of Geo. J. Mosbaugh on Saturday evening last. The attendance was an average at roll call. Many of the responses were well selected and duly appreciated. The instrumental music, readings and recitations were excellent. Mr. and Mrs. Rice treated the society to some excellent instrumental and vocal music. Mr. Rice's version of "Schneider twenty miles away" would admit him on the stage—if his ambition cleaned in that way. The evening passed pleasantly. Exercises closed to meet in two weeks at the residence of Mr. Blasdale, one mile east of town.
C. P. Webber is in Sacramento for a time. We hope soon to see him and his amiable wife return to their circle of many friends in this vicinity.
Since the change of the "Santa Ana News" to a radical Democratic sheet, its circulation at this office has been reduced half or more, showing conclusively that men of that political faith are not as numerous as supposed.
Joel Parker is now Superintendent of the zanja and J. C. Travis is zanjero.
Political scheming and ungentlemanly personal attacks, by men whose character would not stand the light of the minutest particle of phosphorous, appears to be the style of the party that held a harrangue in front of the hotel on the 10th instant. If the other party can find no better argument than personal abuse, we will lose all faith in humanity and be in favor of most anything but politics.
Mr. Stamps measured one of his grapes last week off of a year old vine. It was 2½x3 inches in circumference. Who's next?
A. J. and Allie Hayward returned from the upper part of the State last week. They report crops good in the immediate vicinity where they were, but the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys would not support their inhabitants.
Mr. Hunt, the new blacksmith, began operations last week in his new and convenient shop.
Sam Shrewsbury is moving his bees from his ranch in the Santiago Canyon to Mr.Watson's place, above Bulwell Point.
A. C. Bowers has been acting postmaster of late, during the absence of N. D. Harwood.
An old California predicts an abundance of rain this winter. He says the squatters in the willows would do well to invest in life-preservers or convenient boats in which to still hold possession of their land.
A good old Democrat informs us that the mode of systemized abuse adopted by the Democratic speech-making hirelings, so en-

Mr.J.T.Marquis has been appointed a member of the committee to look after and work up the interests of the coming Horticultural Fair to be held in Los Angeles. It is desired that all sections send in samples of their various productions so that the whole of Southern California may be fairly represented.

Let us send in our specimens and show an interest in the enterprise.Full particulars can be had of Mr.Marquis,and it is desirable that he know as soon as possible how much and what will be sent,and by whom.in order to engage sufficient space.The Fair will be held in the old depot building,and all contributions will be forwarded by the railroad and express company free of charge.
The Presbyterian social was held in the hall on Tuesday evening,Mrs.S.Lyman having charge of the entertainment.Miss Mattie McCoy read her historical essaywhich was illustrated by tableaux.as described by us last winter in writing of the Qui Vive Christmas entertainment.The essay showed much careful study.The most taking thing of the evening was Master Roas Marquis' bachelor address.The tableaux as a bach.,followed by his marriage to his little bride,and bringing her home in a wheelbarrow,the breaking of the wheel-barrow,e.t.;as described by old "Mother Goose."There was plenty of nice ice-cream,cake,Bartlett pears.apples etc.The receipts of the evening were about $60.August 23.J.T.

The office which seems to attract the most attention and some the most button-holding is that of constable. With four candidates in Anaheim, and one each at Orangeshorp, Westminster and Garden Grove, things become short, as mixed as old probability could possibly desire.
M. A. Ward went down 216 feet on Mr. Jos. Howo's land. He snank through 120 feet of boulders, and finally proceeded in obtaining a good flow of water. All the well shards predict that when we have an abundance of rain all the wells which are now falling or have ceased, to flow will flow abundantly.
As Deacon Howo has three wells—that flow some or one farty, we predict that he will have water to sell next season.
Mr. Hilton is around among the farmers and gains friends every time he comes among us. Some parties are claiming that he owns real estate in Napa county. He says he will sell all his property there for one dollar.

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 prohibit all against buying and ransome for any such Wind Mill as they will be called on twice to pay for these things. The Aldrich Wind Mill infringes directly upon at least three of our Patents which are recognized all over the State, under which a Boson license 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 9th, 1875 and you will find it calls for the middle data inside his wheel, that are supposed to exist in phase of our side wires, and the entire working and regulating device comes from other mills and are not patented or claimed by Aldrich, but are infringements upon whose patents. A little careful investigation will reveal the extent of the Aldrich patent, and may save some losses purchasing the price of his mill. Mr. G. E. Hoag, or San Francisco, is our only authorized agent on the Pacific Ocean.
We make this public statement in order that no one may harbor plied ignorance as their excuse for using our patent, and so lag off the penalty.
