Miller has again assumed the control of the Star Restaurant. Mr. A. G. Beebe has just received a novelty in pipes. Both stem and bowl are manufactured with great skill from corncobs. Mr. W. W. Robinson, of Los Angeles, was the recipient on Monday evening of a fine Past Master's jewel presented by Pentalpha Lodge No. 202, F. & A. M. The Grand Jury made their report yesterday, after having been in session for seven days. A true bill was found against F. M. Cahill for the murder of Thomas Hagerty. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 170 sacks corn, 1 box grapes, 1 keg wine, 1 half bbl wine, 10 sacks potatoes, 2 beer kegs, 21 hides, 15 bales wool, 1 jar butter.

Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: P D & Bro, 3 pkgs; Ha Sam, 9 pkgs rice; T C Hull, 1 bbl sugar; Fritz Riepe, 9 pkgs liquor; Webster Hewe & Co., 40 joint pipe; M Rogers, 1 butter box; T D Culter, 2 pkgs iron; Alward Brew & Co., 6 blls sacks, 2 cases crackers; The following is the committee appointed to solicit subscriptions for the construction of a wharf somewhere along the coast convenient for the accommodation of Los Angeles commerce: B. Cohn, P. Beaudry, D. Rivara, A. H. Denker, H. D. Barrows, John Gephard and L. E. Page. The Express says that this committee is outgrowth of the meeting of last Saturday evening, and that its province is not only to consider the wharf proposition but also to look into all matters pertaining to the construction of a narrow-gauge road or the carrying the freight by teams. It is probable that a subscription of $20,000 will be called for in shares of $5 each to construct the wharf. An organized band of hoodlums have lately disturbed Los Angeles and scandalized its citizens. The band, which numbered about fifteen, was under the leadership of Fred Mayer, the unworthy son of very worthy parents. The gang was a few weeks ago recruited by the arrival of Tom Thompson, a San Francisco hoodlum king, who came with the express intention of teaching his rural confreres the most improved hoodlum tactics. His advent was the signal for renewed outrages, and a seeming open defiance of law. For some peculiarly flagrant act of violence warrants were issued for the arrest of Mayer and others. The city police soon had half-a-dozen of the gang in jail, and the Grand Jury, which has just adjourned, found true bills against them. The capture of the gang, however, was quite an exploit, and several instances of great courage was shown by the officers. Especially was this case with officer J. L. Fonck, through whose coolness and intrepidity the gang was arrested. And, by the way, we discovered in officer Fonck an old-time friend, whom we had not seen for ten years. We knew him twelve years ago as a brave soldier and an honorable man, and we are glad to know that the bravery which then characterized him has not been diminished by the lapse of time. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] A smart earthquake shock disturbed Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon. A flock of geese were seen flying southward the other day. Sure sign of an early winter, you know. Negotiations are in progress for the lease of the Anaheim. To the Hon. H. K. S. the County Court of We, the Grand Jury term, beg have to make port: We have found two follows: For robbery murders; assault with deadly wounds; We have ignored four three. We have referred next Grand Jury. We have visited and Hospital. The former as could be expected would be a violation of tom if we failed to give usual recommendation to viability of a new jail. The Hospital we found clean. The patients are for, and they had no fact they spoke very little stowed upon them by it. If we have continued time than seemed to be you that it was with probe and investigation cases which came before desirio to uselessly prosecute them without diminishing by the lapse of time. We desire to bear with which we have District Attorney, and deputies They have been and prompt in response (Signed.) E.C. Los Angeles, Sept. The State School We are indebted to Saxon for the following for Los Angeles county It is reported in Santa Barbara that a new daily paper will shortly be started there with Mrs. C. F. Woods as editor. The prospect of fattening a band of cattle on the Mojave desert would seem to be as good as that of another paper in Santa Barbara. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: P D & Bro, 3 pkgs; Ha Sam, 9 pkgs rice; T C Hull, 1 bbl sugar; Fritz Riepe, 9 pkgs liquor; Webster Howe & Co, 40 joint pipe; M.

[FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.] —It is said that there is quite a demand for potatoes in Los Angeles. —Our freight list this morning shows that the appuratus for the fire department has at last arrived. —Many of the sheep men intend holding their fall clip of wool in anticipation of higher prices. —It is reported that the Chilson boys are shipping large quantities of ore to San Francisco from their mine in Arizona. —The camp meeting exercises will continue until Sunday night. The gathering is very large. —A straggling Frenchman was arrested yesterday for violating section 2 of Ordinance 15, of the town of Anaheim. —The artesian well on the Chilson place in Orangethorpe has reached a depth of 470 feet. The prospect of obtaining water is considered to be good. —The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: Two dry hides, 2 beer kegs, 75 sacks potatoes, 2 boxes fruit, 3 boxes fruit. —The dining room at the Anaheim Hotel was closed yesterday morning. The lodging rooms and bar will still be kept in the same good order which has characterized the management of Mesara. Layman & Caldwell. —There was several moneyed men in town yesterday who evidently belonged to the sheep-herder persuasion. One of the fellows dropped a handkerchief full of coin upon the sidewalk on Centrestreet. His attempts to pick it up were somewhat ludicrous. —Patrick Connolly and Mary Connolly, his sister, and a boy named Jeff Gaines have been arrested and indicted for the murder of Fred Waitzel, whose assassination in broad-day-light, within two hundred yards of his own house, created such an excitement in Los Angeles about two weeks ago. Attorney General Hamilton will be requested to prosecute the case. —A telegram from Cabazon says: An In- [A smart earthquake shock disturbed Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.

Two and a half cents a pound for good ones, which frequently turn out to be bad ones. —Express. We are genuinely sorry to note the fact that Mr. Herman Blanken will take his departure for San Francisco on Sunday. A very good position has been tendered him in that city, which he has accepted. May good luck attend him. Like a prudent man, Constable-elect Blanken will qualify and take the oath of office before leaving for San Francisco, so that should he by any mischance be thrown out of employment before the first of January he will have his office to fall back upon. This year has been prolific in strange freaks of vegetation. The latest we have noticed is that oranges are already beginning to turn a golden yellow, and look as if they will thoroughly ripen in a few weeks. Ordinarily, this fruit is not ripe until March. Items from the Santa Ana Times: Jacob Ross' well is now two hundred and ten feet deep and the water is within fifteen feet of the surface. They are now bringing up hard cement and the prospects are favorable for a good flow of water soon... Many of the Anaheim people got lost on returning home from camp-meeting Sunday night. "Jes' so,"... Hubbard Wakeham intends to soon commence the erection of a fine residence on his place in the swamp. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: Crowder & Co, bbl sugar; M Mendelson, 1 pkg saddlery: F Reverin, 1 cask wine; Heimann & Co, pkgce casting; A Langenberger, 23 pkgs salt; Mrs M Hughes, 1 pkge blinds; J Kearney, butter box; L Goldsmith, 1 set croquet; Geo W Hawkins, 2 tool chests; P, 6 pkgs mdse; Dr J Ellis, 1 case glass; Look & Leonard, 4 bdls paper; W E Taylor, 12 pkgs mdse; H W The State School We are indebted to Saxon for the following for Los Angeles county Anaheim Alameda Artesia Arvoja Azusa Ballona Bog Dale Bolsa Grande Cahuenga Cajon Centralia Ciengga Duarte El Monte Elizabeth Lake Fairview Florence Fountain Valley Garden Grove Green Meadows La Dow La Puenta Little Lake Los Angeles Los Nistos Maizeland Newhall Newport New River Ocean Ocean View Old Mission Olive Orangethorpe Palomares Ranchito Richland Rowland Santa Ana San Antonio San Dimas San Fernando San Gabriel San Jose Santa Monica San Juan San Pascual San Pedro Silver Soledad Spring Sycamore Vernon Westminster Wilmington Total Patrick Connolly and Mary Connolly, his sister, and a boy named Jeff Gaines have been arrested and indicted for the murder of Fred Weitzel, whose assassination in broad daylight, within two hundred yards of his own house, created such an excitement in Los Angeles about two weeks ago. Attorney General Hamilton will be requested to prosecute the case. A telegram from Cabazon says: An Indian reports that on Sunday night he found two men dead near Singleton's ranch, about five miles west of Dr. Edgar's. Soon after the bodies were discovered some white men came along and accused the Indian of having murdered the men. The Indian admitted that the men had been murdered, but failed to state how. He also stated that he thought the dead men were vaqueros from the Ukipi ranch. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: R B, 2 beer kegs; R H Dibble, 7 bdls iron pipe, 1 box hardware; J Bennersoheldt, 3 pkgs hardware; H W Lake, 2 cases mdse; W C Co, 4 boxes candy; A Bros & Co, 7 boxes candy; Max Nebelung, 2 kegs beer; Spees & Morrison, 4 pkgs hardware; Caen & Willard, 1 bbl hardware; R B Warren, 3 pkgs furniture; L Goldamith, 1 set croquet; R L & Co, 2 egg boxes; Anaheim Fire Department, 2 boxes rubber buckets, 1 box lanterns, 2 boxes hardware, 1 pike pole; G I Turner, 4 jhhs apples. The Herald says that a novel demand for grapes as bee feed has sprung up lately. Bon Juan Warner is disposing of the products of his vineyard to apiarists for this purpose. The grapes are first crushed, as the bees cannot pierce the skin and do not enjoy grapes as food until incipient fermentation has made its appearance. Probably Eastern people have had occasion to notice how fond bees are of congregating around a cider press, and feeding on the refuse apple pummice from which the juices have been expressed. Probably our apiarists took the hirsut from this circumstance. The grade of honey made by bees feeding on grapes should be very fine.

The Herald has been shown some specimens of gold-bearing quartz taken from a new lode, recently discovered in the Carga Muchacho District, on the Colorado Desert. This district is situated in San Diego county, within three miles of the Southern Pacific Railroad and about fifteen miles from the Colorado river. About two months ago three claims, the Madre, Padre, and Carga Muchacho, purchased by a Mr. Van Aredale for $5,000, were sold in San Francisco for $35,-000. The specimens exhibited show free gold, and were taken from a ledge two feet wide, which has been traced for over half a mile. The surface rock assays $70 per ton. At a meeting of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce held on Wednesday evening a resolution was offered by H. D. Barrows stating that "in the opinion of this Chamber, Congress ought to grant reasonable aid to a competitive railroad below the snow line across the continent, and that efforts should be made to secure an unanimous expression of the wishes of the people of Southern California in favor of the national aid (under proper restrictions) to such competing road." The resolution was laid over for one week. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved That, in the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce, the present rate of $25.00 per passenger from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Sacramento or San Jose is too high: that a lower rate between said points would be attended with greatly increased travel, and would be a matter of great benefit to this county by reason of such increased travel. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce would respectfully request the Directors of the S. P. R. R. Co. to reduce the fare between said points to $15.00, or as near that rate as can be done. Report of Grand Jury. To the Hon. H. K. S. O'Melroy, Judge of the County Court of Los Angeles County. We, the Grand Jury for the September term, beg here to submit the following report: We have found twenty-three true hills, as follows: For railway and grand lancany 10; murders, battery, 4; resisting an officer, 2; assault with deadly weapon, 2; perjury, 2. We have ignored four bills, and dismissed three. We have referred five cases to the next Grand Jury. We have visited and inspected the Jail and Hospital. The former is in as good condition as could be expected. We suppose that it would be a violation of a time-honored custom if we failed to give expression to the usual recommendation in regard to the desirability of a new jail building. The Hospital we found to be kept neat and clean. The patients seemed to be well cared for, and they had no complaint to make; in fact they spoke very highly of the care bestowed upon them by the physician. If we have continued in session a longer time than seemed to be necessary, we assure you that it was with a desire to thoroughly probe and investigate the many important cases which came before us, and not with a desire to uselessly prolong our sittings. We desire to bear witness to the courtesy with which we have been treated by the District Attorney, and by the Sheriff and his deputies. They have been uniformly attentive and prompt in response to calls from us. (Signed.) E. C. PARRISH, Foreman, Los Angeles, Sept. 18th, 1877. The State School Apportionment.

ANGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Los Bolas dispute continues to be the leading topic here. The decision of the Secretary of the Interior, as published in the last WEEKLY GAZETTE, acted upon some about here much as we should imagine a wet blanket might. Careful reading of that decision will, we think, convince most any one that this case is approaching a settlement, and that the Land Company will win. The settlers tell us they shall test the thing again in the U. S. courts. But we can not learn how or on what grounds. Nor do we believe they can do it. In 1860 Congress passed an Act providing that the surveys of Mexican grants which had duly been brought under the consideration of the U. S. District Court, under previous law, should be finally determined by that Court; but thereafter the Land Department should determine in cases of surveys not already within the jurisdiction of that Court. The survey of Los Bolas, Yorba claimant of undivided one-half, (the interest which the Land Company purchased) sets in the District Court in 1860, and confirmed by it. The survey of Los Bolas, Murillo claimant of undivided one-half (the interest which the squatters are trying to establish) was not in court; therefore, by Act of Congress, it was to be finally determined by the Land Department. That decision has been made in issuing the Patent to the Land Company: Judge Brunson, in reviewing the case at a recent meeting of the settlers, said that it was very doubtful whether the case could be gotten into the courts again and that the chances were ten to one against them. Railroad is another matter which creates much talk (may it not end in talk is our hope) here as elsewhere. And there is ground for all the charges made. Los Angeles gave $700,000 to the Southern Pacific Railroad Co., and got—what? Their just right Col. Crocker claims it, but unprejudiced men don't look at the question through his glasses. First, the San Pedro railroad is purchased and Los Angeles is at the mercy of Stanford & Co. The Santa Monica railroad is giving, given an opposition outlet to the ocean, and business men rejoice because fares and freights are reduced. But even this is wrestled from them—gobbled up and absorbed by the Southern Pacific. Not satisfied with this arrangement, an arrangement is made with the Steamship Company by which freights are advanced fully fifty per cent. And still the railroad company are not satisfied but must give the screw another turn. So, while they can afford to carry freight from San Francisco to the Colorado at certain rates, they cannot afford to carry the same class of goods from Los Angeles to the Colorado—though the distance is 300 miles without an additional charge per ton. was read and accepted. The business has paid all expenses of the year, made up the deficit of last year, and leaves a balance in the treasury. This, in these times, is a creditable showing. The last Board of Directors were re-elected, who just ten re-elected their own officers. The Methodists held their social on Friday evening at the residence of J. F. Marquis. The house was well filled and all seemed to enjoy their first gathering. They meet on next Friday evening at the house of H. Stevens. All are invited. Rev. J. A. Van Anda has been re-appointed to this charge and will preach here every Sabbath, not going to Artesia this year. The appointment gives general satisfaction. Mr. Thomas Edwards has returned from Grass Valley and San Francisco. T. D. Culter has enlarged his blacksmith shop so as to have ample room for his increasing business. Z. McChesney is extremely happy. It weighs 10 pounds. Camp meeting continues until Monday. Charles Campbell and Misses Rose Campbell and Carrie McOey are attending the Los Angeles high school. Mr. Cochrans's little boy, who was bitten in the foot by a rattlesnake, is out of danger and doing well. Our farmers are building corn cribs; the yield will be heavy. J. M. Clark is trying to cure raisins by a new process, and is confident of success. As his drier is not patented, anyone can try it. He lays the grapes right on the hot sand. J. F. Marquis is building an addition to his house. Alward Bros.' bees are doing so well here that Mr. LaSalle is bringing his 200 hives down from the Santiago canyon. Barley is turning out much better than was expected. We have to again call attention to some poor, miserable wretch who is not satisfied to make an honest living, but pilfers from his neighbors all sorts of things—wood, corn, barley, hay, grapes, pumpkins, Irish and sweet potatoes, chickens, etc. Keep your guns well charged, sleep with one eye open, and shoot the first time you even imagine anything is wrong, taking pains to shoot so as to hit. The Presbyterian social in the hall on Tuesday evening passed off pleasantly. The decorations were very tasty, and just about enough present to make it enjoyable. There was plenty of excellent ice-cream, made by Mrs. Dr. McOey; also nice cake and fruit. The profits of the evening were about $25 after paying quite heavy expenses. The ladies have purchased an ice cream freezer, which works perfectly, and they will let it at The State School Apportionment. We are indebted to County School Sup't.

Let any man examine his own thoughts and he will find them ever occupied with the past or the future. We scarcely think at all of the present; if we do, it is only to borrow the light which it gives for regulating the future. The present is never our object; the past and present we use as means; the future only is our end. Thus, we never live; we only hope to live. The invention of printing added a new element of power to our race. From that hour in a most especial sense, the brain and not the arm, the thinker and not the soldier, books and not kings, were to rule the world; and weapons forged in the mind, keen-edged and brighter than the sunbeam, were to supplant the sword and the battle-axe. Few things in this world trouble people more than poverty or the fear of poverty; and indeed it is a sore affliction; but like all ill that flesh is heir to, it has its antidote, its reliable remedy. The judicious application of industry, prejudice and temperance is a certain cure. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction; a hand is put into theirs which leads them forth towards a calm and bright land, so they look no more backwards; and the hand may be a child's. Governor Irwin has fallen into the error of calling the judicial election for the 3d of October instead of the third Wednesday in the month. The Presidential election, Anaheim loses 36 votes; Los Angeles, 148; San Josequin, 104; Silver, 124; El Monte, 23; Wilmington, 19. Westminster (with Garden Grove) gains 44; Compton, 31; Fountain Valley, 27; Tustin, 8; Los Nietos, 63. Thus it will be seen that this immediate vicinity holds its own, or gains more than other parts of our county. [In dealing with "figgers" it is just as well to be correct. Our correspondent fails to remember that in forming Garden Grove precinct, territory was taken away from Anaheim as well as from Westminster. Therefore, the claim of the latter place to the whole vote of Garden Grove is unjust.—Eds. GAZETTE. The coming Judicial election excites little interest here. At present there seems no prospect of any one in this precinct running for the office of Justice. S. L. King, of Garden Grove, is a candidate, and we deem it no more than fair that he be supported by Westminster voters. He is run simply that persons in that neighborhood may able to execute legal papers without going clear to Anaheim or coming down here. One Justice is enough in Anaheim—why not let the Groveites have the other? We don't need one, as we already have a notary who takes all acknowledgements, and shall we prevent the election of their man simply through local spite? If so, then we well deserve any charge of extreme selfishness they or anyone else have or can hurt at our heels. Fred W. Athearn, of the GAZETTE, is also a candidate, and will be supported by many of his friends here. Anaheim merchants complain that no potatoes are brought to them. Nothing strange in that. You can't expect farmers to haul their potatoes to your place and sell them for $1 per cwt. when they can get $1 25 at home. That is what potatoes bring here. Mr. J. Bingham is very low and can hardly survive many days longer. His stock of chromosomes, mottoes, etc., have been left at Alward Bros & Co.'s store, where they are being sold at very low prices. Persons wishing anything in this line can secure rare bargains and at the same time help a truly deserving man. Last Saturday the Fairview base ball club visited this place to play with the "Alerts." The game was called promptly for the hour announced—an unheard of thing for Westminster. Having seen nothing of the score in the GAZETTE, we fear the Fairviews may have forgotten how badly they beat our club. The score stood 69 to 10 in favor of the Westminster club, and Fairview was only whitwashed five times in succession. The Westminster Co-operative Company held their annual meeting on Tuesday afternoon. The manager's report, showing sales to the amount of $35,307 during the year, Dr. Beach and A. C. Bowers returned from a successful hunt Wednesday, the party having bagged 11 deer. The Dr. killed seven, five in two hours. This is hard to excel. Potatoes are now worth $1.25 to $1.50 per 100 pounds; peaches, 3 to 5 cents per pound; Muscat grapes, 1; to 3 cents per pound; butter, 35 cents; hay, $15 to $20 per ton. N. D. Harwood has at the Post-office a single bunch of grapes weighing 42 pounds. It costs by actual figures about three times as much to irrigate ten acres of trees in River-side as it does in Orange. This can be proven by anyone who will examine the schedule of prices and compare the two, although we have heard time and again that water was more expensive here than at any place in Southern California. The zanja directors are viewing the grounds for an enlargement of the ditches, or building new ones, as the case may be. They have employed Riverside's practical engineer. Sam Shrewsbury and J. Morrow passed through town Monday, bound for Wilmington to secure a craft for a pleasure trip to Catalina soon. X. Y. Z. Sept. 20th. 1877. BORN.

All knowing themselves indebted to the same must pay on or before October lst, 1877. All accounts they not settled will be sued for the benefit of the creditors. RDW. SCHUBERT; Assignmen It is very evident that the suggestion of the National Board of Trade for the calling of an international monetary convention to settle the relative values of gold and silver in universal coinage and money circulation is meeting with favor in this country as well as in England and Germany, and if the great commercial nations can be brought together for the discussion of the subject, through able and fully instructed plenipotentiaries and representatives, there is no doubt that this great financial question and its cognata can be removed from the arena of politics and probably brought to a final settlement. At any rate, nothing but good can come of the debate on the subject, and it is almost certain that the demononization of silver by Germany would be denounced as not impolitic but absolutely wrong under the laws of trade, and harmful to commerce.
