WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...OCTOBER 20,1877. Church Meetings. FIRST PREBETTERIAN CHURCH REGULAR services at 11 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. Sunday School 10 A.M. Meeting left practice in Congregational singing and for Bible study, on Wednesday at 7:20 P.M. EPISCOPAL CHURCH, REV. G. M. HUBEARD, Pastor. Regular services every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock; evening services at 7:20 P.M. Sunday school at 9:14 A.M. Kleinigkeiten. Mr. Theo. Reiser and wife arrived from San Francisco on Thursday evening. M. A. Mendelson & Co. are doing a very fine business lately. The San Francisco papers say that one thousand men are at work on the Santa Ana extension. Nine carloads of railsarrived at Anaheim depot on Wednesday for use on the Anaheim extension. Track-laying will commence on Monday. The case of the Anaheim Water Company vs. Amos Wright et al has been continued for the term by consent of both parties. A fifty-mile mustang race will take place at Agricultural Park in November. The rival horses are owned by Dr. Wise, of Los Angeles, and Sheriff Covarrubias, of Santa Barbara. Goodman & Rimpan have been adding to their stock lately. This firm is gaining an enviable reputation, as well for the good quality of their goods as for the low prices at which they sell them. Several of our sister towns are clamoring for a boot and shoe shop. Their wants in that line can be supplied by a visit to Mr. Nagle, whose shop on Center street is crammed with cases of boots and shoes, of every quality and style. The disastrous fire at Mr. Bland's Seventeen Mile House, described by our Norwalk correspondent, was an unfortunate affair. The only thing saved was a sewing machine that happened to have been left on the front porch. The Judicial Election. The election on Wednesday was rather a tame affair to everybody but the candidates and their interested friends, and they, even, did not bestir themselves as men in similar circumstances are wont to do. The struggle for Justice of the Peace in this township was an earnest though a very good-humored one, and not the slightest incident occurred during the day to mar the friendly relations existing between the candidates. The result of the election is here given: ANAHEIM TOWNSHIP. Anahrim.-Total number of votes polled, 257. For County Judge—Stephens, 125; Ellis, 83; Gray, 47. For Justice of the Peace—Athearn, 157; Bailey, 151; Clark, 101; Taylor, 28; King, 17. Westminster.-Total number of votes polled, 101.

And we may here state, in answer to the question of a correspondent, that the judicial officers elect take their office on the last of January, and the gentlemen elected to fill the county offices take possession of the same in March. SAN JOAQUIN TOWNSHIP. Orange.-Stephens, 57; Ellis, 46; Gray, 3. McGibbon, 26; Gardiner, 67; Straw, 57; French, 13; Humphreys, 60.

Stephens received 755; Ellis, 450; Gray, 251. Messrs. Trafford, Carrillo and Baldwin were elected Justices of the Peace. Stephens' majority in the county is a handsome one. Westmuth.

The disastrous fire at Mr. Bland's Seventeen Mile House, described by our Norwalk correspondent, was an unfortunate affair. The only thing saved was a sewing machine that happened to have been left on the front porch. Col. Gray, Chief Engineer of the Central and Southern Pacific Railroads, arrived in Anaheim by special train on Wednesday afternoon. He was accompanied by his staff. They inspected the grade between here and Santa Ana and then departed. We desire to remind our readers that connected with the GAZETTE is a first class Job Printing office, from which is turned out printing of a very superior style. Letterheads, envelopes, bill-heads, cards, circulars, labels, tags, etc., printed in elegant style and at prices which will suit everybody. The rain of last week was not a remarkably heavy one, but if it was insufficient to start the grass it has had the effect of starting the growlers. A San Diego paper says that some of the stock-raisers of that section complain that the rain has spoiled the old or dry feed. On dit: That Mr. Wm. Couts, of Guajome, San Diego county, will be married in a few days to Miss Estudillo, of San Diego. The newly-married couple expect to settle down in Billy's new residence on the Las Poes Rancho, near Guajome. We wish them success and happiness.—Republican. A perusal of the freight lists shows that Cahen & Willard are almost daily in receipt of packages of merchandise, and a visit to the store will confirm the belief that their stock is always fresh and new. They have on hand every imaginable article that is likely to be called for. An anomaly in politics is presented by San Joaquin township, in electing the two rival candidates for Justice of the Peace. Straw and Humphreys, the successful candidates, have been arrayed against each other in a deadly struggle, the fact of there being three other candidates being barely mentioned. Mr. G. D. Plato leaves for San Francisco to-day, to be gone for a week or ten days. Rumor says that he will not return alone. [N.B.] In reading the above it occurred to us that perhaps an explanation of the last sentence is necessary. The impression we desired to convey was that he would return with a very large stock of goods, selected with especial reference to this market. Santa Ana Times: Some of the Chihuamen employed in husking corn on Frank Wakeham's place in the Swamp were shot at on last Saturday night.

Trafford, Carrillo and Baldwin were elected Justices of the Peace. Stephens' majority in the county is a handsome one. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. W. Cossaboom has purchased 10 acres just north of town. Mrs. Johnson is building a residence in Orange. Mr. Howard has purchased 20 acres of A. Travis, and intends improving the same. The election passed off quietly. The railroad does not excite much comment from our citizens. We expect to get a station, the same as Santa Ana, Tustin and other way stations—no more. Messrs. Lockwood and Boward, with their families, are rusticating up the Santiago. Dr. Lindley and lady of Los Angeles, in company with several from this place, left for a short rusticating tour to the extreme end of navigation in the Santiago Canyon this morning. We hear of several diapetes having occurred in Santa Ana on election day, in which the fist was used to settle affairs. The following letters remain uncalled for at the Postal Office: Jacob P. Thompson, Mrs. A. Robinson, A.J. Bryant. We noticed several teams passing through town to-day, on the road to work on the new zanja. We trust every effort will be made to have plenty of water for winter irrigation. Santa Ana overlooks her greater interests by subscribing for a railroad and letting the subject of irrigation appear second in importance. Wanted—a boot and shoemaker in Orange very much. A curiosity, in the shape of ants traveling, was shown us this week near the drug store. They were of the large black variety, and appeared in numbers uncountable. We have frequently referred to the number of small boys spending the evenings in town, learning the fearful doom of growing up leafers. If the parents of these young hopefuls could see the actions and hear the language used by their darlings, we think an immediate veto would be put on their spending their evenings in town. Parents, as you value the peaceful decline of your last days, or have hopes of a bright future for your boys, keep them under the parental eye after the shades of evening settle, and thus do the merchants postmaster, and all quiet citizens an everlasting favor, if nothing more. X.Y.Z. October 18. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The judicial election passed off very quietly in our precinct, only 105 votes polled. The three precincts forming this township re-elected Judge Buster of Downey, Democrat, and Mr.E.Williams, of the same place Republican for Justices.

Santa Ana Times: Some of the Chinamen employed in husking corn on Frank Wakeham's place in the Swamp were shot at on last Saturday night. We understand Mr. Wakeham has been notified to discharge his Chinamen, threatening that serious consequences would follow a refusal to do so. Two little children of Mr. Dupps of the Swamp were poisoned last Friday by eating some wild berries. A physician was called and the children were soon out of all danger. The cactus paper mill of Capt. Walker is in full blast in the Soledad. It makes two tons of pulp a day. The pulp is forwarded to the mill in Santa Clara, where it is made into an excellent article of manilla wrapping paper. They have not yet manufactured any newspaper, but are about to start in on its manufacture. About twenty men are employed cutting the cactus and reducing it to pulp. We are glad to be able to report that the business is remunerative, the pecuniary returns quite realizing the expectations of the projectors of this novel industry. Bishop Kip, who is at present sojourning in Boston, has written a letter to Mr. G. H. Kellogg in answer to a letter of that gentleman in regard to the vacancy in the Episcopal Church of this place, caused by the resignation of Rev. G. M. Hubbard. The Bishop says that he has appointed to the vacancy an English clergyman, formerly of Toronto, but now in Boston, and that he will arrive in Anaheim about the latter part of November, so that there will be no intermission in the services of the Episcopal Church. The clergyman (whose name the Bishop forgot to mention) visited Los Angeles a couple of years ago, as the guest of Rev. Mr. Hill, and at that time conceived a great liking for Southern California. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Judicial election passed off very quietly in our precinct, only 105 votes polled. The three precincts forming this township re-elected Judge Buster of Downey, Democrat, and Mr. E. Williams, of the same place, Republican, for Justices. The other five candidates were of course sadly disappointed. Mr. A. M. Stephens, Democratic candidate for County Judge, was the favorite in our precinct by both Democrats and Republicans. Mr. S. G. Bland, of the seventeen-mile house, had his house burned down on Tuesday last, about 2 o'clock A.M. Nearly everything in the house was destroyed, including clothing; bodding, etc. The heat was so great as to melt some silver coin in the house. Mrs. Bland escaped through the window with her children, with nothing but their night-clothes. Unfortunately, Mr. Bland was away from the house at the time, having gone to the mountains with his cattle, and no one was about but the hired man. Mrs. Duncan, mother-in-law to Mr. Thos. Canavan, died on Saturday morning last, the 13th inst., after an illness of only 30 hours. Her funeral on Sunday was attended by a large number of friends, by whom she was highly esteemed. Corn is coming in slowly; but two shipments from this depot, about 500 sacks in all, and sold delivered here at $1 25 per ctt., gold. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to Mr. John Gwin's party to be held at Granger's Hall, in Anaheim, on Tuesday evening next. October 18th, 1877. Orangethorpe School.

The Judicial election passed off quietly here. Last Friday evening a delegation from Garden Grove came down to meet with a few of our men to see it some arrangement could not be made for Westminster to put a candidate in the field for Justice, to be supported by the Grove voters, and in return have the voters here support S. L. King, and by such a compact defeat the Anaheim candidates. The result of the cance was the nomination of A. T. Taylor. Reference to the returns will show that both candidates were defeated—fitting reward for so greedy a scheme. Garden Grove out of 63 votes gave Taylor 39, while Westminster out of 101 votes gave King but 37. Justly the people of the latter prefect feel sure over this vote, and when all is known, they will feel even less amiable. Individually, we were and are opposed to having either a constable or justice here, and our vote was, as we wrote four weeks ago it would be, for Athearn and King. Yet we did not choose to set ourselves against what seemed the popular desire here—to have a justice. Had Mr. Taylor been nominated earlier in the canvass he would probably have been elected. And it would have prevented any appearance of a move to defeat Mr. King, who had been announced as a candidate two months before. We are glad Fred Athearn is elected—glad Mr. Taylor and sorry Mr. King was defeated—sorry we did not know yesterday all we have learned since of the arrangement with Garden Grove, as then we should have done all we could against votes for the Westminster candidate—not from any opposition to Mr. Taylor, but because we are against having such an officer here, and against any such move as the one referred to. Fountain Valley men told us last week that their township had been extended north to the Santa Ana and Anaheim Landing road—taking a strip one mile in width off our entire southern line. Feeling such a change was unjust we wrote to County Clerk Potts in the matter, and quote from his reply: "The lines have not been changed, but the Board of Supervisors will probably make some changes at their next meeting." The old saying is "forewarned, forearmed," and if we do not wish to contribute another slice to Fountain Valley, we must send in a remonstrance against any change. The Scars, Edwards, etc., living on the strip mentioned would gladly sign such a paper. It is gratifying to know that our part of the county carried off so many premiums at the late fair. And we are glad that Carey & Sons, of Westminster, carry the palm for the best butter made in the county. If possible we shall visit this and other dairies about us, gathering all the items we can,and write you what is found and seen. Your readers are pleased to see the Gazette. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. James McQuade, a boiler maker, fell sleep in his house on Fillart street San Francisco, about four o'clock on Wednesday morning, his wife and three children being absent at the time. He was awakened by a terrible blow on the hip and looking up saw Mrs. McQuade standing over him with an arm. She dealt him three vigorous strokes before she got to his feet. She then fled and he fainted from pain and loss of blood. He attributes the assault to the insanity of his wife arising from the recent loss of two children. Other accounts are to the effect that McQuade and wife had quarreled the evening previous and that he had beaten her as he had often done before. McQuade's injuries are very serious, perhaps fatal. Pacheco has been sworn in as member of Congress from this Congressional District. Prescott, Oct. 17.—Geo Wilson, a deserter from Colorado, and Reb Fellows, a thief and murderer from Texas, attempted to take the town yesterday. Sheriff Bowers, in arresting the parties, was compelled to kill Reb and fatally wounded Wilson. It is said that there is a reward for Wilson's arrest of $5,000 from Colorado. St. Louis, Oct. 17.—A special from Mexico, Mo., says that James Berry, the Pacific Railroad robber, died there to-day from wounds inflicted by Sheriff Glascock in the attempts to arrest him. He confessed that he helped to rob the express carat Big Springs, and said that Collins, who was killed in Kansas, plained the robbery; that the names of the others were correct as known by the Express Company. The New York Times' Washington special says that the prospect of a short session is now considerably brightened. Two weeks, or little more, will probably bring an adjournment. The Democrats are not anxious to undertake any business except that placed by the President before Congress. Besides, general business is hardly possible without reports from heads of departments, which will not be sent until December. To attempt legislation on the currency at this time would be to forestall the views of the President and Secretary of the Treasury, whatever they may be, and a message on that topic would be simply useless and ludicrous. Ben Butler having been asked how he liked to be in Congress this session, he replied, "It feels very comfortable to sit in the House without any responsibility and have your hat full of brick-hats." This expression is undoubtedly correct and makes a complete announcement of the policy which Butler intends to pursue this Winter. Barnum, who has recently been lecturing in London, modestly claims to be "the world's greatest showman," and is proud of his position. He gave his audience one piece of advice, which, if followed, he said, must lead to fortune. People should not Board of Supervisors will probably make some changes at their next meeting. The old saying is "forewarned, forearmed," and if we do not wish to contribute another alice to Fountain Valley, we must send in a remonstrance against any change. The Scars, Edwards, etc., living on the strip mentioned would gladly sign such a paper. It is gratifying to know that our part of the county carried off so many premiums at the late fair. And we are glad that Carey & Sons, of Westminster, carry the palm for the best butter made in the county. If possible we shall visit this and other dairies about us, gathering all the items we can, and write you what is found and seen. Your readers are pleased to see the Gazette has a correspondent at Norwalk, representing the Artesia region, thus taking another step toward making it the representative paper of this end of the county. How much better to have one first-class paper, giving the items of interest from all our settlements, instead of several little one-horse sheets that can never amount to anything. Caldwell & Chase have finished Mr. Harper's well on the high land N. E. of the cemetery, 24 inches flow at 199 feet. Messrs. Clark, Bateson and Montague left here on Monday for Arizona. They are old miners, and intend spending three months in prospecting. If they find good ledges, their plan is to ship and put up a mill and locate there. We wish them the success they merit. Pumpkins command from $350 to $6 a load here, and are not very plenty now. Rev. S. B. King has received his library from the East. Building is quite active now. Mr. Becket is erecting quite a good sized house on his place. Also Mr. Young on his place north of W. F. Lamson. B.F. Townsend is putting up a large residence. S. B. Everett has built an addition to his house. F.A. Lund has built a large barn and corn crib. W.H. Harper has a house on his place. J.F. Marquis is improving his residence. The Co-operative Store have sold four wagons this week. Alward, Bro. & Co. have 38 of the finest cows in county. They were brought from San Luis Obispo, and are the best of a large dairy stock. John Johnson and sister have moved to Oregon. J.A.McFadden has gone to San Francisco to study. Quite a number of the friends of Rev. and Mrs. Van Anda met at their home on Monday evening for a genuine old-timed "husking bee." After spending some hours in husking, etc., (we don't know which there was the most of) a bountiful supper was disposed of. Every one enjoyed this, the first husking party given in Westminster, and others will probably follow. Last Sabbath was communion in the Presbyterian Church. Six new members were received on certificate from other churches and one on profession. Rev.W.Porter preached. The Presbyterian social met in the Hall on Tuesday evening. The room was appropriately decorated and the evening enjoyed by all present. The ice cream made by Mrs.Strong was very nice indeed—so nice that every particle of it was sold and more was asked for. The profits of the evening amounted to about $25. A special attendance is requested at the next meeting of the Choral Union on Tuesday evening, as new music will be presented for practice. J.T.

This expression is undoubtedly correct and makes a complete announcement of the policy which Butler intends to pursue this Winter. Barnum, who has recently been lecturing in London, modestly claims to be "the world's greatest showman," and is proud of his position. He gave his audience one piece of advice, which, if followed, he said, must lead to fortune. People should not hide their lights under bushels. He had not done so, he said, a remark which drew down the greatest applause and laughter. He believed in printers' ink judiciously laid on by way of advertisements. It was better, he had found, even to be blamed than to be ignored if you wish to become known in the world, and had anything good to sell or exhibit. He was convinced that much of his success in life had been achieved by advertising, and he would recommend them all to follow his example. "Attract people to your show or your shop, but when they come take care to give them their money's worth, and then they will stick to you and send others by their recommendations." A very pertinent query has been pounded by a Sacramento woman through the columns of a paper of that city. She says: "I notice by to-day's paper that there was a large attendance at the funeral of Louis Ash, who was killed at a house of ill-fame. I feel prompted to ask if there would have been a large attendance if a young woman had been buried under similar circumstances? If not, why shouldn't there be? Who will undertake to answer this simple question? Arizona Sentinel 13th: "The departure of the railroad engineers for Anaheim, recalls the story that the Southern Pacific people have bought Roseville on San Diego bay, and are about to lay their track down there from their present terminus near Anaheim. The distance is about ninety miles. Should they carry out their programme the consequences would be distasteful to San Diego; particularly if Congress should be convinced that San Diego harbor having one road does not require another. There is plenty of room at Roseville for a large city which might gradually absorb San Diego." Three hundred and eleven pounds of melons from one seed! How is that for high? That is what Mr.A.G.Hollister testifies to as the product of one melon seed planted on his farm. And this includes only melons actually plucked and weighed thus far, of which we have been presented with one. The vines have applied themselves strictly to business, and are going right along, producing indefinitely.-Santa Barbara Press. This is the last straw.

Now let the Cancasians howl. During the coming season it is estimated that over 8,000 acres of land on the Conejo rancho, at Santa Barbara, will be sown to wheat. Already the farmers have commenced plowing and sowing. The Arizona Citizen says that the bean crop in that Territory is a complete failure. Having made very flattering arrangements with a well known house in Los Angeles, I have concluded to remain in Anaheim. I therefore desire to state that I will continue in business at the same place, and that hereafter the "MERCHANT TAILORING EMPIREUM" will be known as the Clothing and Tailoring Establishment of M.A.MENDELSON & CO. The business connection spoken of will enable me to have constantly on our shelves the latest styles of furnishing goods and gentlemen's wear, and also a full line of cloths and cassimeres, suitable for the prevailing styles and season. I have also the permanent agency of the Grover & Baker and Domestic sewing-machines and all attachments, such as needles, oil, etc. Machines for hire by the month at a very moderate rate. Hoping for a continuance of the patronage so liberally bestowed in the past, I am, the public's obedient servant. A.MENDELSON.

PROFESSIONAL ENTHUSIASM.-An apprentice to a Danbury undertaker was at a party the other evening. He had the enthusiasm peculiar to one new in a business. The young lady who sat beside him took occasion to observe that we were having very warm weather. "Dreadfully hot," he rejoined, with the air of a man who knew perfectly well what he was talking about. "It's almost impossible to keep a body over night without plenty of ice." You'd be surprised," he added with animation, "to see how quick they turn." -Danbury News. This is the last straw.
