The old hotel at Colton was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night. Loss, $500. Almost all the bee men of Santiago Canyon have moved their hives to the valley for the winter, owing to the scarcity of feed. The people of Santa Ana and Orange are much excited over the change made by the Board of Supervisors in annexing Upper Santa Ana precinct to Anaheim township. Richard Hayden, a butcher of East Los Angeles, attempted to commit suicide on Wednesday by cutting his throat. The wound will not prove fatal. Mr. Morrell has commenced boring an artesian well on his ranch near the old Coyote House. The boring will be done by horse power, a new feature in this section. It is stated that the Southern Pacific Company has reduced the freight on grain in earloads from $6.25 to $5.50 per ton. They had previously made a reduction on flour from $8.50 to $6.50. A new brass instrument for the Anaheim Band has been received by Mr. Willard. There has been an addition of three new members lately. The Band is now equal if not superior to any in the county. Republican County Clerk Potts is slowly improving from a savage attack of inflammatory rheumatism. Last year, a gentleman inflicted with the same terrible disease, was completely cured in a short time by a constant dipt of Mission grape. Business at the Bank of Anaheim has THE WATER CONTROVERSY. A Statement from Mr. Olden in reply to Mr. McFadden's Communication. Editors Gazette—In Mr. W. M. McFadden's statement in your issue of Oct. 24, he makes a statement which I wish to correct. He says that the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company condemned the then existing ditch for $27.50. This is not the case; but they condemned, not the ditch, but the land on which the ditch was built or excavated, and the money paid to the Yorbas was the full value of the land occupied by said ditch. There was no necessity for condemning the ditch, as that belonged to the plaintiff already, for said Canyon de Santa Ana Water Co. was composed of all, or nearly all, of the parties who had paid the tax for the construction of said ditch. The money paid as taxes was to be received as coin in the payment of assessments. The reason why the work was not completed was the refusal of the Yorbas to sign a paper stating what they understood as the meaning of an obscure portion of their deed. They stated it in conversation, but refused to sign a paper to that effect. Had they done so, the ditch would long since have been finished. It is evident, therefore, that the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Co. have not tried and do not intend to take any man's property without full compensation, but have been ready at all times to go on and complete the ditch for the benefit of all concerned, and the public generally, as soon as they have a satisfactory title to the right of way. I am satisfied that when the water question is fully decided, and the law on the question is settled, that the decision will be that the water belongs to the land (or to its owners), upon which said water can be utilized for the purposes of irrigation, and that prior rights must be respected to the extent of sufficient water to irrigate said tracts, and no more; and that the remainder should be distributed pro rata among the lands upon which it can be taken. Companies organized to construct ditches to bring out and distribute water are simply common carriers, and are entitled to tail pay for their expenses, and legal interest on the money invested; but if, as I claim, the water belongs to the land or its owners, they have no right to give an undue portion to any parties for any reason, as they are giving what does not belong to them, but to the public. For their low lands the Yorbas can always get from the river all of the water they are entitled to, and for their high lands they are only entitled to their proportion; the same as the public generally; consequently, if 250 inches miner's measure are turned out to Westminster. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE. In a recent Rural Presence J. Pierson of Napa, has resided season for alfalfa seed—a part from fifteen acres. For one market he was paid $1,000 as though there was as many grown for seed as when cut away, Z. McCheney has just very nice seed grown on him wishing any can get nicer fresh alfalfa seed of him. The cattle disease which time and then seemed to broken out anew. The Thomas and Samson B Rogers, Peters, Clapps, J ney & Healy's, suffer this seems to know just what how to cure it.

There has been an addition of three new members lately. The Band is now equal if not superior to any in the county. Republican: County Clerk Potts is slowly improving from a savage attack of inflammatory rheumatism. Last year, a gentleman inflicted with the same terrible disease, was completely cured in a short time by a constant digit of Mission grape. Business at the Bank of Anaheim has been improving rapidly for several days. The moving of the corn crop is putting considerable money into circulation. If any of it should come this way, we will endeavor to submit to the infliction with Christian-like meekness. The Joint Exposition opened in Los Angeles on Wednesday with great reelat. The attendance was all that could be desired. The agricultural display is very mengre, but the merchants of Los Angeles have taken advantage of the occasion to make a fine display of their ware. A company of U.S. troops passed through Los Angeles on Wednesday, en route for Yuma, to enforce the order of the Secretary of War, in reference to the railroad company making use of the military reservation at that place. An explanatory article from the Sentinel will be found in another column. Messrs. Davis & Bro. are shipping their entire stock of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes to Arizona, in charge of C.C. Sweetzer and Louis Mandelson. Messrs. Davis & Bro. will hereafter confine their trade exclusively to groceries and hardware, of which they have an immense and well selected stock. In another column will be found the notice of the death of A.W. Birch, of Santa Ana. The deceased was for many years a sufferer from consumption. The funeral took place yesterday morning under the auspices of Santa Ana Lodge, F. and A.M., of which body he was a highly honored member, having been its first W.M. Polling Places.

The adjourned meeting of the Anaheim Water Co. was held on Saturday afternoon at Kroeger's Hall. Mr.J.B.Pierce read a letter from Capt.Northam. He was of the opinion that no arrangement between the ditch companies could be made at present. Mr.J.W.Shanklin said that a meeting of the Directors of the Cajon Irrigation Co. would be held that afternoon and would frame a set of propositions to submit to the Anaheim Water Co.at their next meeting. The meeting was then adjourned to meet on Saturday next. At the meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Co.it was resolved to present the following proposals to the Committee of the Anaheim Water Co.at their next meeting.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. In a recent Rural Press we read that Mr. J. Pierson of Napa, has received $1,675 this season for alfalfa seed—a part of the yield from fifteen acres. For one load hauled to market he was paid $1,034.25. This looks as though there was as much profit in alfalfa grown for seed as when cut for hay. By the way, Z. McChenney has just thrashed some very nice seed grown on his place and parties wishing any can get nice, pure, clean and fresh alfalfa seed of him. The cattle disease which raged here for a time and then seemed to run its course, has broken out anew. The hands of Messrs. Thomas and Samson Edwards, Mathew Rogers, Petera Clappa, J. Brooks and Kearney & Healy's, suffer the most. No one seems to know what the disease is or how to cure it. Tuesday afternoon we saw three loads of squatters purchasing largely of groceries here, and on inquiry found they had left the willows and were on their way to Kern County. Mr. Olden's "ad" to the settlers on the Los Bolsas provokes varied comments. Many of the settlers state their willingness to buy, if hearing be denied them, and the case thus decided against them. But they say the compass they entered into, in joining the league, compels them to stand by one another until the courts decide against them and refuse a new hearing. When this is settled those who cannot buy will leave quietly and peaceably. We are informed that the patent has been delivered to the Land Company, which gives them a clear and full title to the Rancho. While we do not claim any knowledge on points of law we cannot see how or in what way the squatters can hope to obtain any re-hearing. In fact, if positive expressions mean anything, the "Act of 1860," to which we referred two weeks ago, precludes such a possibility. Congress left these disputes to the decision of the Land Department, and that decision was to be final. Mr. Gardner, who has returned from Sonoma County, says this is the best looking section he has seen—that in the upper counties all is dry. And Rev. Dr. McKnight, of Springfield, Ohio, who has just been called to the Pastorate of the Los Angeles Presbyterian Church, recently when visiting here, made the same remark. He also referred to the statements made by men in and about San Francisco; who ought to know and tell the truth that "the whole southern part of the State is literally dried up. In many places it is difficult to get even enough water for drinking purposes," etc. He saw more water in this county than in any he had visited, ABRUISER'S BIOGRAPHY. "Boss" Tweed an Merrimay's Check-and Care. John Morrissey and "Boss" Tweed are now saying some very hard things of each other. The former having given an interviewer his opinion of Tweed, which was subsequently printed, the old "Boss" strikes back. In his examination now going on before the New York Aldermen, Tweed saked permission to make a statement. He said: "From the testimony I have given before this committee, I think no one will believe that I favor myself as a good, honest man. I have now been doing what most of the papers and what all have advised me to do, telling the whole history of the Ring. I believe I am doing right and am willing to submit myself to the just criticism of any and all honest men. It is hardly fair to me, however, that the public should be called upon to judge me out of the months of people worse than myself. Not only my public but my social relations have been made an object of criticism by the Hon. John Morrissey. I have known him for about twenty-four years and of him much longer. When I am made a subject of criticism by him, it is but fair that the public should know who he is. At a Court of Oyer and Terminer in the city of Troy, in the December term of 1848, this man was indicted for assault with intent to kill. In the April term of 1849 he was indicted for burglary, and at the same term convicted and sentenced to jail for sixty days, having been tried on the two indictments, for assault and battery and burglary. At the June term in 1849 he was indicted or burglary. In the city of Albany on the 15th of July, 1861, he was convicted of a breach of the peace, adjudged to be fined $50, and sentenced for a term of three months in the Albany penitentiary, at hard labor, in a case of non-payment. He spent nine months in the Albany penitentiary in serving out his terms. In 1857 he was indicted in this county for assault with a dangerous weapon upon Thomas H. Blumer, with intent to kill him. In the same year and on the same day he was indicted for a felonious assault upon William P. Conway with intent to kill him. On the same day he was indicted for a felonious assault upon John F. H. Dagget, with intent to kill him. These last three indictments were found when A. Oakey Hall was District Attorney for this county. During the whole of that time and up to a very few years past he has been a professional prize fighter and a public gambler, a proprietor and owner of the worst places in the city of New York, the resort of Wet or Dry—Which. The rains in Oregon appear to have set in in good earnest. At last accounts, they were so constant as to seriously interfere with the success of the Agricultural Fair. If Oregon were any guide or indication of California weather, we might take courage from the fact and anticipate rain soon here. And according to the record of a quarter century ago in this city, we might anticipate with reason the beginning of the rainy season here by the tenth of next month, or even earlier. For, in 1849, the first rain commenced on the 7th of October, and on the 8th rain was a very heavy one. Then, until the 5th of November was a very pleasant short month, when, at that date, the rainy season commenced in good earnest, and scarcely let up for a month or two. But Pluvius appears to be governed by no very certain rules, and hence we are all in doubt, and cannot count upon rains until they have fallen. There is perhaps, as much interest felt in the question of rain in this State at the present time as his ever been felt during all the time it has been in American possession. The last and present season, that is '76 and '77's rainy season, was so diminutive in its rain supplies, and so many phophecies that the ensuing "season" would prove a dry one, that very many people are more than anxious upon the question and the doubt. Married under the New Constitution. On Frilay last, J.A. Tolleson, Esq., married a couple in the Court House in Marietta, Ga., using the following ritual: "Sherill, join their right hands." Sir, will you have the beloved woman you hold by the right hand, in the name of the State of Georgia, Cobb county, and the new Constitution whether it is adopted or not, to be your lawful wedded wife?" "I will." "Madam, will you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband under the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Georgia, no matter who is President?" "I will." "Now, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and under the Constitution aforesaid, I pronounce you man and wife. Amen." — Marietta (Ga.) Journal. In a certain pleasant town in the county of Surry, England there is, or was a cricket-ground, nearly surrounded by houses. One morning just after match had been played,the secretary of the club received a letter from a lady "of a certain age,"the proprietor of one of these adjacent houses，declaring that her delicacy had repeatedly been affronted by the sight of the gentlemen "in every stage of nudity,"putting on their cricketing flannels in the open dressing-tent just before Mr. Gardner, who has returned from Sonoma County, says this is the best looking section he has seen—that in the upper counties all is dry. And Rev. Dr. McKnight, of Springfield, Ohio, who has just been called to the Pastorate of the Los Angeles Presbyterian Church, recently when visiting here, made the same remark. He also referred to the statements made by men in and about San Francisco; who ought to know and tell the truth that "the whole southern part of the State is literally dried up. In many places it is difficult to get even enough water for drinking purposes," etc. He saw more water in this county than in any he had visited, and considered that Los Angeles County had a brighter future before it than Napa, Santa Clara or any of the counties North of us. Such expressions from such a source should be valued. Recently we had occasion to call at the lumber yard and mill of A. Guy Smith & Co. and were surprised to find the farmers from all about them were patronizing their steam sheller. But on learning the particulars our surprise ceased and we were only pleased to know that this new effort is appreciated by the men they seek to accommodate—the farmers. This firm buy very little corn; but they will shell any amount, and send to some reliable commission house in San Francisco to sell. On all corn shipped by them they will make cash advance of $1 per cwt, and settle the balance when they receive account of sale. They charge 50 per cwt for shelling, which charge covers all of the cost. No hands to pay, no men to board, no horses to feed. The corn is hauled there, shovelled into the sheller, and almost by the time the last shovel-full has been thrown out it is back in your wagon, sacked and ready to haul home. Or if you mean to let Smith & Co. ship it, you have only to shovel the corn out, throw the cobs in your wagon and start. They furnish sacks at the lowest market rate. As to freight, Messrs. Smith & Co. have induced the railroad company to reduce their tariff from $1 per ton to $5 50, delivered in the San Francisco depot. This, considering the whirlage and other extras added to the steamer tariff, is the cheapest way to ship, especially when the steam sheller is used. Surely, if any firm merit the name "farmers' friends," it must be accorded to the one of which we write. During the past week we rode past the places of Messrs. Lyman, Patterson, Faucett, Preston, etc., for the first time in many months, and were surprised to witness the changes made by the growth of trees, etc., all of which seem to be very thrifty. S. Layman has just finished a substantial stable. W. Mitchell is fencing another large field. A number of graneries and corn cribs are being built. Various parties are roofing their hay over, preparing to winter it. Plows and harness are being put in repair for another work season. Caldwell & Chase are boring for W. H Harper. J. A. McFadden has finished U. Penhall's well—1½ inches at 191 feet. Messrs. Sears and Shaw are expected back from Arizona soon. Stock men can buy plenty of pumpkins here. Why don't some leave a sample of their small fruit of this kind at one of the stores? Who has the largest? There is little enthusiasm here over the approaching Judicial election. A boot and shoe maker was here last week prospecting the chances for success in that branch. We have none and greatly need one. A good, steady workman would succeed well here. Mr. Gardner, who has returned from Sonoma County, says this is the best looking section he has seen—that in the upper counties all is dry. And Rev. Dr. McKnight, of Springfield, Ohio, who has just been called to the Pastorate of the Los Angeles Presbyterian Church, recently when visiting here, made the same remark.

Or if you mean to let Smith & Co. ship it, you have only to shovel the corn out, throw the cobs in your wagon and start. They furnish sacks at the lowest market rate. As to freight, Messrs. Smith & Co. have induced the railroad company to reduce their tariff from $1 per ton to $5 50, delivered in the San Francisco depot. This, considering the whirlage and other extras added to the steamer tariff, is the cheapest way to ship, especially when the steam sheller is used. Surely, if any firm merit the name "farmers' friends," it must be accorded to the one of which we write. During the past week we rode past the places of Messrs. Lyman, Patterson, Faucett, Preston, etc., for the first time in many months, and were surprised to witness the changes made by the growth of trees, etc., all of which seem to be very thrifty. S. Layman has just finished a substantial stable. W. Mitchell is fencing another large field. A number of graneries and corn cribs are roofing their hay over, preparing to winter it. Plows and harness are being put in repair for another work season. Caldwell & Chase are boring for W. H Harper. J. A. McFadden has finished U. Penhall's well—1½ inches at 191 feet. Messrs. Sears and Shaw are expected back from Arizona soon. Stock men can buy plenty of pumpkins here. Why don't some leave a sample of their small fruit of this kind at one of the stores? Who has the largest? There is little enthusiasm here over the approaching Judicial election. A boot and shoe maker was here last week prospecting the chances for success in that branch. We have none and greatly need one. A good, steady workman would succeed well here. Mr. Gardner, who has returned from Sonoma County, says this is the best looking section he has seen—that in the upper counties all is dry. And Rev. Dr. McKnight, of Springfield, Ohio, who has just been called to the Pastorate of the Los Angeles Presbyterian Church, recently when visiting here, made the same remark. He also referred to the statements made by men in and about San Francisco; who ought to know and tell the truth that "the whole southern part of the State is literally dried up. In many places it is difficult to get even enough water for drinking purposes," etc. He saw more water in this county than in any he had visited, and considered that Los Angeles County had a brighter future before it than Napa, Santa Clara or any of the counties North of us.Such expressions from such a source should be valued. Recently we had occasion to call at the lumberyard and mill of A. Guy Smith & Co. and were surprised to find the farmers from all about them were patronizing their steam sheller. But on learning the particulars our surprise ceased and we were only pleased to know that this new effort is appreciated by the men they seek to accommodate—the farmers. This firm buy very little corn; but they will shell any amount, and send to some reliable commission house in San Francisco to sell. On all corn shipped by them they will make cash advance of $1 per cwt, and settle the balance when they receive account of sale. They charge 50 per cwt for shelling, which charge covers all of the cost.No hands to pay, no men to board, no horses to feed.The corn is hauled there, shovelled into the sheller,and almost by the time the last shovel-full has been thrown out it is back in your wagon,sacked and ready to haul home.On if you mean to let Smith & Co.ship it,you have only to shovel the corn out，throw the cobs in your wagon和start．They furnish sacks at the lowest market rate.As to freight,Messrs.S Smith&Co.have inducedthe railroadcompanytoreducetheirtarifffrom$1pertonto$550,deliverinthenSanFranciscodepot.Excisethewhirlageandotherextrasaddedtothesteamtariffisthecheapestwaytoshipespeciallywhenthesteamshellerisused.Surelyifanyfmirthename"farmers'friends",itmustbeaccordedtotheoneofwhichwewrite.

Harper. J. A. McFadden has finished U. Penhall's well—1½ inches at 191 feet. Messrs. Sears and Shaw are expected back from Arizona soon. Stock men can buy plenty of pumpkins here. Why don't some one leave a sample of their small fruit of this kind at one of the stores? Who has the largest? There is little enthusiasm here over the approaching Judicial election. A boot and shoe maker was here last week prospecting the chances for success in that branch. We have none and greatly need one. A good, steady workman would succeed well here. Mr. Aldrich has four acres of Peach Blow potatoes on the Guyberson place (formerly Merrit) which are turning out from 150 to 160 sacks to the acre. In size they average very large, there being no small ones in the lot, and all are sound. He has some Humbolts, which promise a very heavy yield. The Alerts meet for practice on Saturday at 1 P.M. on their grounds near the school house. Our attention has been called to Fairview's criticism of our mention of the game played between their club and the Alerts. Had we been present we should had a copy of the score. But we were not there; and on inquiry for the score found Mr. Fruit had taken it to Santa Ana. We gave all that any one could tell of the result, and can't see that any injustice was done. As to not being "beaten by the Alerts, but by the combined forces of Santa Ana, Tustin and Westminster," two of the Alerts were absent and Robinson and Fruit, of Santa Ana, were substituted. But if the Fairview club are dissatisfied, and want to test the comparative strength of the two clubs, we doubt not they can be accommodated by a Westminster nine. The sneak thief still lives. This time G. S. Yates loses a $50 saddle. Now, look out for your horses. Is it not time to make some effort to find out who this party is, and bring him or them to justice? The following letters remain in the Westminster postoffice, and unless called for will be sent to the Dead Lotter Office: Mrs. S. Benware, Mrs. Wm. Clapp, John A. Kendrick, Mrs. Jane Lefflingwell, Miss Sarah Leffling-well, Ephriam Martin, Joseph Noir, Bill Neal, John Simona, Matthias Winland, John Terry. Held for postage: James Drace, Linden, Cal. We cannot refrain from expressing our gratitude for the many kindly words given us. There is no cup so bitter but we always feel that sympathy is sweet. J. T. October 4, 1877. Col. B. D. Wilson has offered to lease his wharf at Wilmington for $5 per month. At the recent session of the Grand Lodge of the United States I. O. O. K. in Baltimore, the report of the Special Committee on Uniform was adopted. This report provides for a uniform street dress for subordinate Lodges, and consists of such style of hat or cap as may be determined by the several jurisdictions, but in all cases to be uniform, plain white gloves, a jewel collar 2½ inches wide, uniting in the front, made of light blue silk cloth, or other material (except velvet, which shall not be used.) of the shade known as silver-blue, edged with silver lace or braid, a quarter of an inch wide without embroidery or other ornamentation of any kind whatever. A resolution was also passed for the appointment of a committee to prepare a system of tactics of drill for the use of the Order. It was decided by the Grand Lodge that a State Grand Jurisdiction cannot impose tax on its members for the establishment and support of libraries, as there is no law declaring them the "legitimate purpose of the Order," and members cannot be required to pay any sum in the shape of dues to support such libraries. Butler and Peters have drawn out of the contest. The Humphreys faction are endeavoring to make a combination with Orange, and at the same time with Tustin City. They are rushing frantically around trying to make bargains with everybody. They cannot keep all of their promises, and the question is whether they are politically honest enough to keep any. The inference is fair that they are not. They have went to Tustin and promised to support French, and they have come to Orange and promised to support both Gardiner and McGibbon. Verily, they are a party of great promise (? "Anything to elect Humphreys" is the cry of the opposition, and to accomplish this they stop at no measure, however low, to create sympathy in his favor. Failing themselves to create any impression on the public mind by their own false representations, they have their own shyster lawyer to circulate slander, which, if emanating from his employers, would not be noticed any more than it is. And these same immaculaterognes set themselves up as "reformers" and "ringsmashers!" Such attempts as these will only lessen him in the estimation of all intelligent people. When such an abortion of humanity as Judas Nefarious Burtnett and J. H. Fruit can control enough votes to defeat such men as P. W. Straw, it will be time for all honest men to hide their heads with shame. Messrs. McGibbon and Gardiner are still in the field from Orange. The former is said to have the largest following, and seems to be the choice of a large majority of the people outside of Tustin City and Santa Ana. The very solid objection to Mr. Gardiner is that it would interfere with the medical practice of this community. A fifteen-dollar monkey, running a black-smith sheet at Santa Ana, told me some time ago that the fight was not so much to defeat Straw as it was to elect Conservative Humphreys. Says he: "We would not give a continental d—m if we do elect them both, so that we elect Humphreys." This is the spirit which actuates these little minds; but I am glad to find that they are few in number, and of but little influence. Their illiputian efforts are due to the fact that they belong to that class in society which always makes a failure in whatever they undertake for themselves or others. I do not know whether Mr. Humphreys is cognizant of the unprincipled means used by some of his supporters against his opponents or not; but one thing is certain, he is like "Poor Dog Tray," in very questionable company. I will continue until after the election, to furnish von with different phases of the campaign as they come to the surface and as they appear to me.
