[FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] —This being a legal holiday, the Bank of Anaheim will remain closed. —Our facilities are such that we can furnish election tickets to-day at the very shortest notice. Send in your orders. —The members of the Glse and Choral Society will find something of interest in our advertising columns. —Mr. Chilson informs us that the well on his farm is now down 410 feet, and that this morning the borers will commence putting down an inside pipe. —Judge Clark yesterday registered thirty-three voters. He will be in his office to-day to give the dilatory an opportunity to register. —A cavalry company has been organized at Compton by Capt. F. G. Allen. It is proposed to make application to the Adjutant General to be admitted to the National Guard of the State. —Mr. S. A. Sheffield informs that his well is now down one hundred and twenty-four feet. For the last twenty-nine feet they have been passing through boulders, which makes the work necessarily slow. —The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 1 cot-bel, 2 kegs beer, 14 sacks barley, 1 case house-hold goods, 4 empty kegs, 1 half bbl, 3 bbla wine, 4 boxes bottles. —The indictment against Tamiet, the Los Angeles councilman, for forgery, has been put on hearing on the 10th day. The said event occurred last evening. The deceased lady had been suffering for some time past, but her death was scarcely anticipated. The sympathy of the community is with the bereaved husband. The funeral will take place to-morrow morning at ten o'clock. —If the result of yesterday's election is that we are to have a Constitutional Convention, let us offer up a special invocation that the members thereof will not demean themselves as a similar Convention in Georgia is doing. It is said that on the first day of its meeting it abolished the Stata Constitution; on the second it insulted the Governor, and on the third it repudiated God Almighty. —a teamster named Frank Clark, employed by Halberstadt & Co., was the victim of a highway robbery on Tuesday. It seems that he was driving his team to Anaheim Landing and when at a point about five miles from town he was met by three men—two Mexicans and a Frenchman—who presented revolvers and demanded his money. The robbers got $5 in silver, a plug of tobacco and a first-class causing—the latter being administered when they were out of sight. —The September session of the Horticultural Society, will be held at Good Templar's Hall, Los Angeles, next Saturday, commencing at 2 o'clock p.m. "Practical Irrigation" is the subject to be discussed. The report of the committee to whom was referred the subject of standing committees will be made and the appointments will be made under such report. This is the most important work yet brought before the Society, and should be considered by a full meeting.

Plato have just received a fresh invoice of first-quality hams. —Twenty-six hundred and forty votes were polled in Los Angeles. The silver tea set will be mailed for at Mr. S. A. Sheffield informs that his well is now down one hundred and twenty-four feet. For the last twenty-nine feet they have been passing through boulders, which makes the work necessarily slow. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 1 cot beel, 2 kegs beer, 14 sacks barley, 1 case household goods, 4 empty kegs, 1 half bbl, 3 bbls wine, 4 boxes bottles. The indictment against Tamiet, the Los Angeles councilman, for forgery, has been set for hearing on the 10th inst. Tamiet's condition is not improving, and there is no possible chance for his recovery. His head is literally falling to pieces, as a result of his self-inflicted wound. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A Guy Smith & Co, 1 box hardware; Max Nobelung, 1 bbl ale; R L Crowder & Co, 1 pkg twee; F & J Backs, 1 case furniture; Cahen & Willard, 1 case cartridges; W M Higgins, 5 pkgs drugs; S J Lowe, 5 pkgs mdse; L Gildmacher, 7 pkgs mdse; J J Dyer, 5 boxes soda; R G McGibbon, 1 box stationery, Specs & Morrison, 2 bars iron; L Utt, 32 boxes soap; H A Stough, 6 pkgs; James Elgar, 6 pkgs; Mrs Brown, 1 case coal oil. Express: Judge Levering, the bee man, has hit upon an excellent plan for carrying his bees through the dry spell. He purchases the over-ripe fruit, mostly pears, from the fruit stands, which would otherwise go to waste, and upon this the bees feed with great relish, devouring it to the very core. Perhaps other bee men throughout the county can utilize the idea. It stands them in hand to adopt some suct expedient or let their bees perish. Then, too, it will prove a profitable investment, for the bees which do survive the present disastrous year will be worth something. We give place to the following from the Los Angeles Herald: When the old pioneers of California, who came into this country to help, by their labors and example, build it up, become aged and decrepid, it is right that we should assist them in their poverty. He of whom we write was one of Col. Stevenson's regiment, an officer of merit during the war with Mexico, and an efficient Judge in this State, known for his integrity on the bench. He is now poor and unable to assist himself. A small subscription will soothe the old man's way to the grave, and we should, in consideration of his services to the State, cheerfully give our mite to make comfortable the last days of Judge Myron Norton. [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] L. Wartenberg and H. Blanken are the constables elect of Anaheim township. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: One box grapes, 37 skis castor beans, 1 case household goods. A disease, similar to that which is made... [FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] I. Wartenberg and H. Blanken are the constables elect of Anaheim township. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: One box grapes, 37 sks castor beans, 1 case household goods. A discaso, similar to that which is making havoc among the cattle in Westminster and Fountain Valley, has broken out in Solano county. Several herds have suffered severely. The German theatrical performance, which was to have been given last Sunday evening, was postponed until Monday evening, Sept. 10th. For the information of those farmers who have stacks of sacks of potatoes rotting we note the fact that yesterday morning not a single spud could be purchased in town. A word to the wise, etc. Constable Pullen last evening arrested and lodged in jail a couple of belligerent American citizens, in whom adverse political views and bad whisky had engendered a disposition to fight it out in accordance with the rules of the P.R. San Diego News: The boy, John Bixley, aged some eighteen years, who has been identified as a lark that robbed the stage near San Dieguito a few days ago, by Mr. Shaw, is in jail, and will have an examination in a day or two. The boy has been working on ranches in this county, and says he will be able to prove an alibi. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: W F Heathman, 1 box mdse; Webster, Howe & Co, 20 sks flourr, 1 case shoes; Rosa Johnson, 6 pkgs household goods; M Rogers, 1 butter box; E Turner, 1 box lemons; I Cohen, 10 pkgs mdse; A Guy Smith & Co, 1 bale bags; F Hartung, 1 cask; P Hanmes, 5 pipes, 1 barrel. It is with great regret that we chronicle the death of the wife of Frederick Conrad. We have been aware for some time that something unusual was going on in the Chinese quarter of Anaheim. We have seen little knots of Celestials grouped here and there discussing some problem with wild gesticulation and vociferous gibberish. But it was only yesterday that we learned from an intelligent follower of Confucius the cause of the very apparent commotion. It appears from his story that some of the boss Chinamen have an ambition to be invested with regal and extraordinary powers; that they, in fact, desire to institute a government which shall be administered by a King, assisted by his usual ministerial supernumaries. A meeting was therefore called a few nights ago, at which were present delegations from Westminster, Santa Ana and other surrounding towns. Upon the proposition being submitted to establish such a government there ensued a wild and stormy scene. The opposition which developed itself was so great that the managers determined not to press the matter at present, but adjourned the meeting. The project, however, is not dead, but is only held in abeyance, and it is probable that another meeting will soon be called which will be so manipulated by the "ring" as to give its consent to the ambitious project. Our special Chinese reporter has promised to keep us thoroughly posted in regard to the proceedings. Mr. Fowler, living on the plains between Fresno and Kingsburg, has a pumpkin that already measures over six feet in circumference and weighs about 200 pounds. A STEAM CORN SHELLER. A Guy Smith & Co.'s New Machine—A Trial of Speed Yesterday—The Corn Crop—Probable Reduction of Freight Rates by the Railroad Company. While visiting the mills of A. Guy Smith & Co., yesterday, we had the pleasure of seeing their corn-sheller put into operation for the first time. The machine is one of the latest inventions and is a marvel of simplicity. Its capacity is advertised at 100 bushels an hour, but at a "trial of speed" yesterday it filled a sack every minute—each sack containing from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and thirty pounds, which would make its capacity about 140 bushels an hour. Of course, it is not desirable to run any machine at its maximum of speed, but it is safe to say that one hundred bushels an hour can be shelled without detriment to the machine. Another illustration of its capacity may be stated in this way: A farmer can fill his wagon with corn in the cob, drive to the mills, shovel the corn from the wagon directly into the shelter, and in half an hour be on his way home with his corn shelled and sacked, and his wagon filled with corn-cobs for fuel. But convenience to the farmer is really a secondary consideration. It is the saving in the cost of shelling which will impress him most favorably. Messrs. Smith & Co. charge five cents per hundred pounds; and one of the largest farmers has estimated that under the horse and man-power regime the cost averages about 14 cents per hundred. The owners of the horse-power corn-shellers charge four and a half or five cents for shelling, and require feed for eight men and double the number of horses. It will be seen, therefore, that the saving to the farmer is of vast importance, and will cause them from motives of self-interest to patronize the steam power. Mr. Smith, who has been on an extended tour of observation through the county south of us, says that the corn crop this year will be immense. Thousands of acres which lay idle last year, have been planted in corn which is looking fine, and will give a large yield. Messrs. Smith & Co., are endeavoring to induce the Railroad Company to lower their ASCENT OF MT. HAMILTON The Mite of the Lick Observatory—A Plumb Trip Pleasantly Described. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1. EDS. GAZETTE:—Have you room for a letter from one who is still interested in your popular paper and believes in a larger prosperity for you? The writer has been so long silent that possibly you and your readers may have concluded that he was "non est." Notso. An increased amount of professional work has absorbed time. A few days ago the writer was invited to be one of a party to go on a camping expedition up Mt. Hamilton. And readily consented because of the novelty of the experience in a California camp, as well as interest in the scientific purposes to which Mt. Hamilton has been devoted. The princely bequest of Mr. James Lick will put this State foremost in adequate equipment for astronomical research, and we cannot help having a deep interest in the place where the light of other worlds shall greet our eyes, which light for millions of years has been hastening hitherward to tell the story of their existence, form and nature. The party was perhaps one of the heaviest which has ever made the ascent since the famous turn-pike has been completed. By that adjective it is not meant that the weight of the group was beyond common, but more HEAVY THEOLOGY Went up the toiling steps than has been there at any one time before. There were not less than four "D. D.'s" and four dominies who do not wear the above affix, one elder of the U.P. church, and two unofficial laymen. It might be added that two were professors in a theological seminary, one was an editor, and the others occupied various positions of honor, from the aforesaid professorship up to the dignity of being a newspaper correspondent, which, like the name of Abou Ben Adhem, led all the rest. We gathered at the pleasant home of the editor, seven miles out of San Jose, where camping on cots, lounges and shake-downs, we got a slight foretaste of the coming glory of an out-door snooze. Bright and early we were awused by the report of our nimrod's gun, who had found a mark in some of the Being a crowd of dominies, it was impossible to find a flask of anything but powder. The nearest we came to liquid was a bottle of pickles which some thoughtful housewife had put among the provisions. Though we had no water, the meal was not a dry one, for the staid ecclesiastics let off their jokes without regard to feelings or dignity. We roasted corn and baked potatoes, and ate our supper as though one rolled a dry mortal under his tongue. As the shadowa gathered, we felt that we could sympathise with the poor fellows in the army who often are compelled to eat their rations without water or even pickles. The fire blazed up gloriously and like so many weird ghosts, we arranged a place to sleep. Our little tent proved a veritable mother-ben, and endured nearly all our company in her generous folds. We made a success in packing away so many in one tent, by permitting the tall brethren to extend their limbs under the tent walls, to the outer air. They did not quite hang down the side of the mountain, but came within a half mile or so of it. It was some time before the last talker was quieted, for every once in a while some one would mention how pleasant a drink of clear cold water would be. At last, it was resolved to chuck out the man, who by the remotest reference, suggested water, steam or ice. DO SARDINES DRAM? It is to be presumed not, but this company of sardinic (don't put an "o" instead of an "i"), dominies, dreamed and snored, and snored and dreamed, and no man can tell which was attended to with the greatest enthusiasm. If ever pluring streams, bubbling fountains, running brooks, patterning raindrops gently distilling dew formed the web and woof of dreams, it was then and there. Well, the preachers were never so dry as that night. It is to be feared that had there been a corner grocery near by, the entire troop would have gone there for water in spite of the suspicion they might arouse of taking something nearer like pickles. The darkest storm has passed away; the most uncomfortable night has ended. So did ours. It ended very early in the morning. The staid U.P. P. elder, who slept in his wagon, was disturbed either by an imaginary sound of many waters, or by the sanguinary explorations of the wicked flea, or by a poetical aspiration to see and drink in the first flood of sunlight as old Sol winked his bright eye over the distant Sierras. So with a loud slouch, he came over to our tent arousing us all from our peaceful slumbers. We enthusiastically responded, but found to our chagrin that the worthy elder aforesaid had arisen before the maiden of whom poets write. But as we were all up, we concluded to make the most of the early call, and so, groping our way to the top of the mountain we sat on the ragged edge of expectation, in the shape of jagged rocks, and there behold the morning ad Real Estate Transfers.

The following is our record for the week ending Wednesday P.M., Sept. 8th, giving lowest point by point prior to publication date and highest by day.

Bright and early we were aroused by the report of our nimrod's gun, who had found a mark in some of the abounding game; just what it may not be politic to mention, as the restrictions of the game law still hold. The writer did not see anything killed, but dreamed of quail, rabbit, deer and grizzlies. After breakfast we were soon arranged for our long upward journey. A large farm wagon was loaded with provisions (these dominies do eat awful) bedding, fodder, (for horses) guns, etc., etc. Two carriages received the remainder of our company. THE ROAD UP THE MOUNTAIN Is one of the wonders of the State, and to start out on a bright, crisp morning to climb the incline is an experience all might envy. The road was built by the city of San Jose, as a condition of the location of the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. The work is well done, and is not only a fine piece of work as a road, but shows remarkable engineering proficiency. The grade is uniform, and about one foot rise in twenty. By the road, the top of Mt. Hamilton is twenty-four miles from San Jose. The ascent begins about four miles out of the city. Our procession toiled slowly up the longineline. Every foot of ascent opens larger and more beautiful views of the valley. In certain seasons of the year when all is green, or when the golden harvests wave a poetic welcome to the reaper, this grand valley must present an enchanting appearance. Where, in all the world, are there to be found such valleys, such hills, such mountains, such vistas as ours, and as may be seen on a journey in almost any direction in the State? Every turn in our road presented. NEW VIEWS OF BEAUTY. Up one canyon we saw in the distance the place where, it is said, the penitent ones from the Roman Catholic institutions of Santa Clara and San Jose performed their obligations, by crawling on their knees over a stony path. It is called Penitentiary Canyon. How true the legend, the writer cannot say, but the name still haunts the place even if the penitential wails are no longer heard reverberating among the wild defiles. About two P.M. we reach what is called Smith's Creek, where we find a small stream of cold, clear water. This is the regular camping-ground of all tourists. We soon make arrangements for lunch, for the long journey had sharpened our appetites. This canyon is a wild, quiet place and is at the base of the mountain which we came to climb.

SHALL WE STAY AND SEE THE SUN RISE Or give it up and have water for supper by returning to Smith's Creek? The final vote was to see the sun rise. So our tent was pitched and our frugal board was spread- About two P. M. we reach what is called Smith's Creek, where we find a small stream of cold, clear water. This is the regular camping-ground of all tourists. We soon made arrangements for lunch, for the long journey had sharpened our appetites. This canyon is a wild, quiet place and is at the base of the mountain which we came to climb. We can see the roadway winding a zigzag route up the mountain side, and not far away is the flag pole marking the summit. The road takes us eight miles to ascend two. The point in debate was: SHALL WE CAMP ON THE MOUNTAIN OR NOT? The decision turned on the question of whether water could be found or not. Several of the party had been informed that there was water there, so we concluded to sleep high once in our lives, and be ready to give the morning sun a rousing welcome. Up, up we go, slowly but surely. This part of the ascent proved much more interesting than that of the morning. Our view was greatly extended, and we had before us many wild canyons and hills. The varied views as we made many sharp turns, and each turn at a higher altitude, gave us great delight, and we were constantly wishing for a Hill or a Bierstadt to transfix to canvass—the beauties we behold. About six P. M. we reached the top. A place for camp was found, and scouts were at once sent in all directions to find water. We dared not wait to enjoy the view which was opened on all sides, last darkness should cut off our hopes and send us waterless to bed. But with all our precautions, we were doomed to a forestate of an existence where no water can be found. Every scout returned with blank dismay on their faces and empty backpacks on their arms. Now the point of debate was: SHALL WE STAY AND SEE THE SUN RISE Or give it up and have water for supper by returning to Smith's Creek? The final vote was to see the sun rise. So our tent was pitched and our frugal board was spread- Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Sighs of relief are drawn, now that the election is over. The campaign has been an exciting one—much has been said and written that might better have been left unuttered; feelings have been hurt and wounds made—in many cases unwittingly—but time will effect a cure. Here the day passed quietly, although deep interest was taken in the constable question. Mr. Davis owes his defeat wholly to a kind of compact some of his friends made with Wartenberg, after some of the other candidates had been led to expect the support of the Davis men here. This leaked on Tuesday night, causing considerable feeling on the part of many of our people, who in turn worked against Wartenberg. It was charged by prominent electioneers that the Barham and Davis, Blanken and Davis, Sperry and Davis, and Pullen and Davis, tickets sent here were "blinds" to catch this precinct, and that Wartenberg was the only man who would put out tickets in Anaheim with Davis' name on it; and work for him; that Blanken didn't stand "a ghost of a show;" and "we work for the man who works for us." The result shows Blanken to be a healthy "ghost" and also how hard work was done for "us"—getting 7 votes out of 336 cast. Had no compact been made, but Mr. Davis gone into the field untrammeled, he would have received a full vote here—149 instead of 120; and would assuredly receive enough votes in Anaheim to make up the 13 votes then needed to place him ahead of Wartenberg and Blanken—aye; he would come out fully an hundred votes ahead of any of the others. Or had Garden Grove and Westminster combined, each supporting the other's candidate, Davis and Buford could both have elected, and Anaheim could have whistled. The Grove folks state that Davis was nominated to kill their man; that Westminster is so extremely selfish she wants it all; and would under no circumstance support their man. Now; this is, in the main, false. There are men in any and all country settlements who will act in a way to warrant such charges. We have them—Garden Grove has them; and yet that a few feel thus does not warrant them in charging our entire settlement with harboring and being governed by such motives; neither should before the last talker was once in a while some one pleasant a drink of clear water. At last, it was re-engaged water, steam or people have throw back the same sweeping charge. All know that there are enough sectional disputes now, and let not this add another to the list. There were 149 votes cast here; 85 in Garden Grove and 123 in Fountain Valley, against 190 cast in Westminster at the Presidential election, and 94 in Fountain Valley-Garden Grove has been cut off of Westminster since the last election. But were our precinct as it was then, the number of votes would be 234—a gain of 44. Fountain Valley gains 29. This would, by the usual scale of 5 inhabitants to each voter, give this section a population of about 1785, and the population of the original Westminster Colony about 575. This does not include either of the later extensions of the colony lines. At the Presidential election Westminster gave 46 Republican majority, and Fountain Valley 18 Democratic. At this election Westminster and Garden Grove give an average Republican majority of forty-seven, and Westminster alone averages seventy-five Republican majority. This is our record, and we are not ashamed of it—in fact we are proud to think that few if any precincts in the county can make so strong a showing. The increase in the number of voters, as indicated by the names registered by Mr. Strong, is twenty-five for this precinct and eleven for Fountain Valley. In the judicial election in October it is to be hoped that mere party differences will not rule to the election or defeat of the best man for the County Judgship. Personally, we shall attempt to learn which is the best fitted for the position—Ellis or Stephens—and shall support that one whom cool and not strongly partisan lawyers consider the most deserving. Now we can expect candidates for Justice of the Peace to make their announcements, and we predict that Fred W. Athearn, of the Garrett, will be one of the successful candidates. No one acquainted with him will question his fitness for the office. The boundaries of the precincts, as we gave them last week, were wrong, through an error made in the Clerk's office, but the lines are all known now. Garden Grove does not take any of the original Westminster territory, nor should any complaint be made because of that precinct being formed. The residents of that part of Westminster set off to Garden Grove are nearer, and would naturally go to the latter place. And when that can be said of 85 voters, it is time they formed an independent precinct, even if it does make our returns look smaller. Our vote, after their 85 are out, is only 41 less than at the Presidential election. Poor cause to complain there.

The New York Tribune's Saratoga correspondent sustains Judge Hilton's claim that his controversy with Seligman has resulted in the marked financial success of the Grand Union Hotel. Hilton insists that his motive was entirely of a business and not of a sectarian character, and he is eminently satisfied with the result. No nation can beat the Germans in the number of their anniversary and memorial celebrations. They now propose to have a great fate in Hamburg on the 2nd of January, 1878, the 200th anniversary of the first representation of an original German opera. A feature of the celebration is to be the performance of this same first German opera, which bears the title of "Man, Created, Fallen, and Again Raised Up." There is in our city a young Greek, who speaks eighteen languages, including two of China and one of Japan, English, French, Spanish, Arabian, and some Indian dialects. The boy is only eighteen years of age, and has been engaged in herding sheep. We could not hear the name of the great linguist—San Diego News. The artesian well on the Norris grant. Sacramento county, has reached a depth of 1,480 feet, and work has been temporarily suspended. United States Senator MrDonald expresses the opinion that the railroads have outgrown the narrow limits of the State authority which created them, and that the national Government will have to protect them, precisely as it does commerce on lakes and rivers. A large number of the medical students at the University of Leipzig have petitioned the faculty not to permit the attendance of female students at the medical lectures in the future. The ostensible ground for this demand is the very singular one that women, as a rule, lack the previous acquirements essential to a deep and thorough course of study; but it is conjectured that another cause for the proceeding may have been the fact that the females students of medicine at this university, of whom there are at present only four, are adherents of the Social Democrats, and were among the signers of the address of sympathy with Dahring, the able instructor of republican proclivities, who has been removed by the Prussian Government from the University of Berlin.
