Yesterday afternoon we visited the park packing establishment of Crowther & Eccles at this place. Any one who, like us, had not heard of their arrangements, would be deeply interested and surprised to find such complete and convenient arranged buildings. The pens, slaughter house, and scalding trough and trimming table are constructed in the order named, near to the packing house. The hog, when dressed, is hanging on rollers and run into the packing house; the frame on which they are rolled in is built over the centre of the cement salting floor. Under the frame is a brick drain into which the drippings fall. Through this drain a stream of artesian water is run, carrying off all blood, and the same stream, flowing from the salting floor to the slaughter yard, carries away all refuse matter and secures cleanliness where all is usually filthy.

The Board of Supervisors have, in the matter of the boundary lines of the township and road districts, ordered that the lines as defined on the county map of Wiley & Stahlberg be adopted as the official lines. The petition for the road from Anaheim to San Bernardino, through Brea Canyon, presented to the Board of Supervisors by Mr. Olden on Tuesday, was favorably received and will be acted upon at the meeting of the Board on December 3d. Among the various packages found in the mail bags the other day was a box of cartridges. Any one who will thoughtlessly endanger human life, by putting such articles in a mail bag, needs looking after, as he is certainly too needless to care for himself. His name was John Doe (at least that was all the name the Justice could find for him.) He filled himself full of forty rod tangle foot and traveled around town on Thursday, insulting every one and reminding himself generally obnoxious. Marshal Wartenberg took him in out of the cold and he now sits on the stool of repentance in the town jail. In the matter of the Santa Ana Canyon road, the report of the County Surveyor was received and filed. The Clerk was directed to advertise for proposals to build said road, the road to be paid for as follows: On the completion of each section a warrant on the road fund will issue for 75 per cent. of the amount due, according to the relative value of the work, and 25 per cent. when the road is finished—work to be completed within 60 days from award of contract. Bills to be opened on the 21st inst. The Grand Jury made a report on Wednesday. They examined sixteen cases. They found eleven true bills, viz., murder, 2; assault with intent to commit murder, .1; assault with deadly weapon, 3; grand larceny, 5. The Jury recommended the establishment of a poor farm, believing that it would lessen the expenses of keeping the sick and infirm. They recommended that the County Judge appoint a committee composed of experts to examine into the financial records of the county, and lay their report before the next Grand Jury, so that the people may know the condition of the county's finances. On Monday evening, November 5th, the train men of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad, acting under direction of Mr. Moulton, the Superintendent of the railway, hitched an engine to the bridge at the Sixth street crossing, Santa Monica, and pulled it down. The bridge was the private property of Mr. J. W. Scott, of Santa Monica, and connected his "central addition" to the town proper. The Railroad Company claims that the bridge was an obstruction to the free movement of their trains. Mr. Scott was on the bridge at the time and warned the men several months ago the Westminster Grange forward to Prof. Hilgard of the State University a sample of strong alkali ground. He analyzed it, and wrote that by using from 600 to 1000 lb of gypaum (land plaster) per acre the alkali could be overcome. The sample sent for analysis was from land that would not produce anything, and W. G. McPherson, who furnished the sample, concluded to experiment on the same land he took the sample from. He sowed plaster on a piece at the rate of one thousand pounds per acre, and secured a very fine stand of corn from the piece plastered, while all around it, on the very same kind of land, planted and cultivated in the same way, save only the gypaum, he has nothing—not even a weed. And yet we are told "plaster wont help it." The Grange appointed a committee to examine and secure samples from the reported deposits of gypsum in this section. They found some in the Santiago Canyon, which has been sent to Prof. Hilgard for analysis. Should it prove the real article we shall be able to get all we want for use on our lands at a merely nominal rate. The machinery for crushing is quite inexpensive. What is used now must be brought from San Francisco, and costs $1 per ewt., delivered here. But we hold that by a system of drainage all of our lands will be helped. By irrigating, the tendency is, where any alkali exists, to bring it to the surface, and there it stays, getting stronger and stronger. The rains do not help it to any large extent, because there is no way it can be run off. But open up good, substantial ditches through the natural water courses here—and there are enough of them—and run cross drains into these main ditches, and by flooding our lands from the wells, or when rains come, this alkali that has accumulated on the surface can all be run off. Very likely using the plaster will be a help, but drains will accomplish a great deal toward removing the evil, and will make our lands dryer and warmer in wet seasons and more retentive of moisture in dry seasons. And in irrigating, instead of bringing up the alkali, the water would soep through to the drains and ditches, carrying it away. If ye who "cuss" the soil here would take hold of and try to do something to remove the difficulty, this whole section would look and be far better than now. J. F. Marquis, like several others here, is laying pipes to carry water from his well to and through his house. As 2 gas pipe can be bought here for 8 cents per foot, we are surprised that more of our people do not lay pipes and enjoy the convenience of water in their houses, baths, etc. Building operations continue to go on. J. Giberson has lumber on the ground for building; W. J. Patterson has built a large addition to his house; many others are making or contemplating additions to their homes. Caldwell & Chase have finished Mr. Williams' well 2½ inches at 183 feet. Mr. James Taylor of San Luis Obispo county is here looking after his interests. Mr. J. Giberson who purchased here last spring has arrived. Mr. John Patterson arrived from the East on Saturday night, accompanied by grand-mother, who though over 80 years of age, stood and enjoyed the trip overland equally as well as any young lady could.

The Railroad Company claims that the bridge was an obstruction to the free movement of their trains. Mr. Scott was on the bridge at the time and warned the men against pulling it down, but finally as the engine started he had to run, and barely got off as the bridge went down. We understand Mr. Moulton has since been arrested. Santa Ana Times: Work is being rapidly pushed ahead on the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company's ditch. There is at present a force of ninety men at work employing thirty two horse teams. Work was commenced about three miles above Bullwell Point and is being extended towards the head of the ditch. Two miles are already completed. The ditch is eighteen feet at the top and ten feet in the bottom and it will be necessary to make two tunnels just above the Point, one two hundred feet in length and the other six hundred feet. This ditch when completed will afford water sufficient to irrigate all the land in the valley which requires irrigation... Road overseer Mills with a large force of men commenced work on the Santa Ana and San Bernardino wagon road on last Monday. They commenced at Bullwell's Point and will work up to the sand gate beyond which the road will be built by contract. There was an explosion in Bob Abernethy's tin shop at Guadalupe last Wednesday which came very near producing fatal results. Mr. Abernethy was soldering a cartridge of giant powder, Mr. J. H. Cooper looking on, when the fuse, being rotten, broke and ignited from the hot iron. Both gentlemen rushed from the shop, and escaped the explosion which followed immediately. Ten of the window and show-case glasses were broken, portions of the roof shattered, and a general work of demolition was the result—Santa Barbara Press. Caldwell & Chase have finished Mr. Williams' well 21 inches at 183 feet. Mr. James Taylor of San Luis Obispo county is here looking after his interests. Mr. J. Giberson who purchased here last spring has arrived. Mr. John Patterson arrived from the East on Saturday night, accompanied by grand-mother, who though over 80 years of age, stood and enjoyed the trip overland equally as well as any young lady could. Meera, W. O. Johnson, A. J. S. Woods, and J. C. Justice left here on Tuesday for the East. T. D. Culter showed us a buggy he has been getting up which is neat and novel. The running gear is all iron, except the wheels which are Sarvin's patent. It has side springs attached to the round iron axles by an ingenious contrivance, which, with well arranged braces, form the "reach." The body and woodwork were made by J. H. Parker and are as good as the best. The whole thing is neat, light and strong, and first class in every respect. It rides very easy and when such workmanship can be bought, all painted and trimmed and complete for $130, it seems foolish to send to San Francisco and get the inferior Eastern made buggy costing the same money. Patronize home industry and you will get a number one wagon. Send away and there's no telling what you will or will not get. J. F. Marquis has returned from San Francisco, and Alward Brox & Co are now receiving, opening and trying to find room for the large stock of goods he purchased. The Co-operative Co also have a large and well selected stock, and any one who can not between two such stores find what they want, and at prices to suit must be indeed hard to please. We have been asked by different parties where they could get copies of Songs of the Sanctuary—the hymn book used by the Frebyterian church here. They can now be had, with or without the tunes, at the Co-operative Store at San Francisco prices. The coyote hunt last Saturday was not a success; they try it again on Saturday. Meeting at the cemetery at 7 A.M. Land buyers are around. Hunting is good in this section. Burning weeds and plowing are becoming fashionable. Road Master Davis has been hauling lumber and repairing old and building new culverts on the roads. Charles Trunnal offers $10 reward for information leading to the detection of parties who removed his horse from the W.C. store and get so befogged as to return it to the wrong stable. Thanksgiving on the 29th; get your turkeys ready. The Choral Union have suspended their regular Tuesday evening meeting until spring, but will hold special called meetings from time to time. They will meet at Mrs. Bowley's next Wednesday evening to practice Thanksgiving music. The next Methodist Social will be held next week Friday evening at J. H. Fleming's. The Presbyterian Social will be held in the Hall Tuesday evening. A short programme—music, readings, and recitations will be presented. Dyslexia and other refreshments will be served during the evening. The following letters remain in the Westminster Post office: Wm. Anderson, A. J. Candle, John M. Campbell, Wm. Clark, P.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Santa Ana Hotel is overcrowded with business at the present time. The Continental is also overrun with business. These two hotels and numerous boarding houses attest the necessity of having a new, large hotel erected to meet the demands of the traveling public. There could be no better investment made at the present time in this place. The hotel proprietors are so well pleased with the poetic effusion of "Romeo" that they are anxious to interview him and try to induce him to forsake dull prose and always invoke the poetic muse in behalf of "Union hash." Mr. T. A. Cord, formerly of Tustin City, has been appointed U. S. Marshal for the Territory of Arizona, so we are informed. We are informed by the youngsters of Orange that their proposed balls and parties are always failures, because they are divided into cliques, and neither will attend a party originated by the other. Let them recollect Kentucky's motto: United we stand, divided we fall. Theo. Lynn was in town last Tuesday on professional business. The town bulletin board is striving to secure his perpetual services, but he don't succeed any better than perpetual motion, because the board is not willing to "put up" enough regularly. The old Board of Water Trustees were re-elected last Tuesday. McFadden's jackass is a healthy animal, and can kick harder than any other animal we got of. We are informed that Mr. C E. French had a couple of carriages smashed by an unruly horse recently. Bishop Moesser has removed to the Hurricane Tragedy at the Time Ranch. Up to date we have been unable to ascertain the exact particular concern the hurricane would which took place at the Rancho del Toro, which adjoin the San Josequin Rancho, in this county. The following account, however, was given us by Mr. Dolores Garcia of San Juan Capistrano, who received his information from Mr. Rayes Serrano, one of the proprietors of the manch. One day during the latter part of last week, an Indian by the name of Manuel called at the house and asked to be employed in cutting wood. Mr. Serrano informed him that a man called Cholo Castillo was the only person he had employed in that manner and that he had no use for another. The man Manuel went to the place where Castillo was employed and asked to pass the night with him. The next day about noon some parties stopped at the camp of Castillo and found him dead. He had been killed by a blow from an axe, and the head was almost completely severed from the body. A search was immediately instituted for the Indian Manuel, who is supposed to be the person who committed the deed. Up to this date no trace of the murderer has been found, although the authorities of San Juan have been unremitting in their endeavors. We shall be enabled in our next issue to give more precise information regarding the affair, and hope to chronicle the capture of the murderer. Cholo Castillo is said to have been a resident of Anaheim. THE FIERCE COYOTE. And the Efforts Made to Capture Him. DEAR GAZETTE—Thinking you may like to have a short account of the opening meet of the Westminster Coyote Hounds, I send you one, which, if deemed unsuitable, can be numbered amongst your "rejected addresses," and find companionship in your waste paper basket. We met at 12 sharp on Saturday, 3d inst., in front of the Co-operative Store; some 30 horsesmen, all well mounted, and like true sportsmen were up to time. A Captain was then chosen, and wishing in vain that mine host of the Westminster Hotel would appear with a tray of liquor glasses and cherry brandy, we moved off, and first tried the dense prairie weed north of Mr. Wayman's After a short beat the "View Halloo" was Theo. Lynill was in town last Tuesday on professional business. The town bulletin board is striving to secure his perpetual services, but he doesn't succeed any better than perpetual motion, because the board is not willing to "put up" enough regularly. The old Board of Water Trustees were elected last Tuesday. McFadden's jackaas is a healthy animal, and can kick harder than any other animal we got of. We are informed that Mr. C E. French had a couple of carriages smashed by an unruly horse recently. Bishop Moesser has removed to the Swamp. Don Jose La Paz and Don Juan Liaz, capitalists from Sonora, are prospecting here among the Spanish population with a view of establishing a colony there. Silas Ritchey is erecting a two-story barn 40x110 feet. A. T. Bates is sinking an artesian well on his place. At the latest advises a depth of 190 feet had been attained. There is an unusual amount of sickness in this part of the valley at the present time. Frank Taylor has renovated the El Dorado saloon, and is building a restaurant to run in connection with it. The congratulations of this entire community are extended to Mr. J. P. Johnson and lady. They were recently married in Los Angeles. Mr. J. is the "retired miner" referred to by the Herald, and lives within a mile of Santa Ana. We received through Mrs. Dr. A. Higgins an invitation to attend the Commencement Exercises of the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, held on the sixth inst. Mrs. H. is one of the graduates, and we congratulate the lady on her pronounced success. We now have seven physicians practicing in this place, and there is room for more. If we only had a homeopathist and a resident dentist we would be content for the present. Can't you send us one of each? The new drug firm of Dibble & Lewis are doing a smashing business. They will soon occupy Watson's new brick building. Charlie Benson and others are prospecting for coal in the Santa Ana mountains. Dan Leighton has gone to the San Gabriel gold mining region. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE Our farmers are in good spirits on account of the water coming down from New River in the new ditch so plentifully, enabling them to flood the land for a crop or barley. Mr. Haynes, a wealthy farmer in Knox county, Illinois, is on his way to California to spend the winter on his farm near Norwalk. He is pretty well advanced in life, and having spent a winter in this climate, says this is the best place for him yet. About 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning a large pile of baled hay, containing about 150 tons, belonging to S. H. McFadden, one mile from Norwalk, was discovered to be on fire. Before assistance could be obtained, the entire pile was in flames, precluding the possibility of saving all of it. The loss which was total, is about $1800; insurance, two-thirds of its value. Incendiary. Mr. H. A. Foster, one of our most energetic young men, left by rail on Thursday morning for Oregon. He intends to go into business near Salem. We wish him success, and trust he will have rain enough in the Wil... He is pretty well advanced in life, and having spent a winter in this climate, says this is the best place for him yet.

We wish him success, and trust he will have rain enough in the Willamette valley to satisfy his utmost desires. Mr. T. A. Bouton intends soon to return with his family to Illinois. We are sorry to lose so good a citizen, and hope to see him back again after his experience of one of the cold winters of Illinois. His brother John will accompany him. Mr. D. I. Baesby, recently of Crescent City, has settled in our place, and will open a blacksmith shop at the corner of Centre and Second streets in a few days. The joint Baptist and Methodist revival at Artesia school house, which has been in progress for the last 3 weeks, has proved very successful. From the number of converts who have joined the church this season, it would seem to indicate a connection between dry weather and theology. Mr. J. A. Stewart, mine host of the Missouri Hotel in Downey City, is going to give a grand ball on the 30th of this month, on the opening of his new house. J. E. C. Nov. 8th. Post Office Letter List.

The constantly shifting dunes are frequently heaped up right on their track. Then the train stops, all hands turn out to shovel off the sand and the cars come in late, unless the time can be made up. Little plows are attached to the cow catcher of the engines. They are let down, by apparatus worked by the engineer's foot, to within a hair's breadth of the rail, and can dispose of two or three inches of sand, but more than that calls for shovels. The wear on wheels and rails is immense, to say nothing of injury to axles from fine sand getting into the journals—Yuma Sentinel. It is claimed by a Mr. Heubright, that he and his family of five persons were poisoned on Sunday last, by eating soup from unwholesome meat. The entire family was affected, and one of the children died, but whether from the effects of the supposed poisoning of corn we cannot say. At any rate it was buried to-day—San Diego News.
