WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 17. 1877. Church Meetings. FIRST PREBYSTERIAN CHURCH REGULAR meetings at 11 A.M. and 7:30 P.M. Sunday Hour 10 A.M. Meeting for practice in Congregational sitting and for Bible study, on Wednesday at 7:20 P.M. PRESIDIAL CHURCH, REV. G. M. HUBRARD, Mrs. Dr. Higgins arrived home on Wednesday evening. Meinigkeiten. —A Los Angeles dog (female) gave birth to forty-three pups on Wednesday. —A society for the prevention of cruelty to animals has been formed in Los Angeles. —John B. Parker has been appointed Postmaster at Pomona. —Mrs. Dr. Higgins arrived home on Wednesday evening. —Miss Ella Green was the best equistrienne on the track at Agricultural Park on Wednesday, and carried off the prize. She was the only contestant. —The rainfall on Sunday last was quite heavy in the county south of us. At Santa Margarita about two inches of rain fell; at San Luis Rey, an inch and a half; and up the San Luis Rey valley, and at Temecula, from two and a half to three and a half inches. —The San Francisco Alta says: "A bill has been introduced into Congress to change the name of the steamer Geo. W. Alder to the Columbia. The City of Chester is also endeavoring to have her name changed. We are informed that the latter vessel is soon to be put on the San Diego route, in opposition to the present line." —About three months ago Messrs. Holgkins and Wood transplanted four boulded orange trees of the St. Michael's variety, from Mr. Garey's nursery to Pasadena, without extra care or attention. Three of the trees then contained a few small oranges about the size of robin's eggs, and in spite of the removal have kept on growing, and bid fare to Buried Treasure. It will probably be many years before the romantic ideas about hidden treasure are entirely eradicated from the minds of the California people, and in corroboration of the statement that there are still those who are "clean daft" upon the subject, we offer the following, which was related to us by an old-time resident of San Juan Capastrano: For many years the attention of strangers has been attracted to the peculiar sound caused by the tread of a horse or man upon that part of the main street of the staid old town of Capistrano, which lies just in front of the old adobe residence of Don Juan Abala. In the stolid minds of the old inhabitants the sound had long since ceased to make an impression, and they regarded the matter as one of the features of the town, so well established as to need no explanation. A week or two ago, "With his little of roots, a stranger Wanders piping through the village." His attention was attracted to the unusual sound made by the hoofs of the vacqueros' horses as they galloped over that certain part of the street. He had read the literature of the day; was thoroughly conversant with the "Buccaneers of the Gulf;" "Red Hand, or the Bloody Pirate of the West," and remembered the adventures of "Sinbad, the Sailor" and the marvellous wealth of the "Count of Monte Cristo." He called a few gentlemen, and taking them a safe distance from all prying ears, whispered to them that his can did opinion was that at those places from which the peculiar sounds proceeded there was a hollow in the earth. He believed that in olden times, while the "Ancient Mariner" was yet a suckling, the pirates used to land at San Juan with their vessels, and that in that identical hollow in the ground they buried their ill-gotten wealth of gold and precious stones. Some of the gentlemen were convinced that our friend's convictions were true, and others, among whom was our informant, were inclined to think the whole affair decidedly improbable. The doubters laughed at the idea of searching for the treasure, while the confident few handed themselves together as a prospecting party, binding themselves to fidelity and secrecy by the most horrible Westminster. REGULAR CORRESPONDENT Published notice Patent has been received and that the squatter Brunswick and other late claim, creates a deep dispensed case. We have various parties trying matter stands in both sides, but have not arranged these open. In our next we hope to see. A few days ago bass Alden Fruit Dryer, as we witnessed the operation in these colony kindly showed us thrilling as by producing their products. Quite grapes, squash, potato beans, etc. They are ages for their goods and mand for them. We have 22 lbs of tomatoes to dry; and were shown all thieves contained all thieves of good onions. If one box contained flavor of 25 bushels squash looked like your fruit looked and tasted all who have used them strictly first class. Last Sabbath morning the Presbyterian Church Van Anda, of the Marian changed pulpits. The surprise for both congregation. The grape season is sold over 5,000 lbs in over 30,000 lbs from scant fixtures. We had a "Santa Anita ing corn and things come heavy rain Sunday night again. So far this season it is an inch's rain fall. The Coyote hunt on first one, a failure. W. G. McPherson has come to coming season to erecting a small house family returned from Los Angeles prairies. Wm. Crowther though his European trunk Marion Crittenden hut N. Hansler and starts to the regret of his neighbor F. Porter is getting bpletion; when all finishest the nearest houses in the Clark is building an adjoining house. About three months ago Messrs. Hodgkins and Wood transplanted four builded orange trees of the St. Michael's variety, from Mr. Garey's nursery to Pasadena, without extra care or attention. Three of the trees then contained a few small oranges about the size of robins' eggs, and in spite of the removal have kept on growing, and bid fare to mature, while the other tree is now full of blossoms. These little trees were hauled ten miles in warm weather, without sacking, and are not yet two years old. Republican. A delegation of Cahuillas is in town for the purpose of presenting their grievances to the Land Office. It seems that white men have been squatting on their lands and are now attempting to validate their claims by entry in the Land Department. These Indians are located in the Desert on the line and just southwest of the railroad. They have several little villages, and are fearful that white squatters will crowd them out of their homes. It is to be hoped that the Government will see that these friendly Indians are protected in their lands. Express. A memorial is being circulated throughout the county for signatures, petitioning the legislature to enact laws, 1st—For collection of taxes semi-annually and quarterly; 2nd, Authorizing tax collectors (both county and municipal) to receive some proportional amount (say ten per centum) of the taxes in silver coin; 3d—Making county officials salaried officers, and requiring all fees of office to be paid into the county treasury. The memorial concludes: If, in your discretion, you shall doom it inexpedient to legislate as above for the entire State, we beg that you will change the law in accordance with the foregoing petition, for Los Angeles county, so as to apply to the collection of taxes for the present fiscal year. Rev. H. Walter Featherstun met with a severe accident last Sunday while on his way to fill his appointment at Newport. He had arrived to within a mile of the school house when his horse stumbled and fell. This threw Mr. Featherstun over the horse's head. In falling he naturally threw out his hands to protect himself as much as possible, and came down with his whole weight upon his hands and arms, spraining his right wrist and hand very severely, and bruising his left hand badly. He did not realize the severity of his hurt until after preaching, when his right hand and arm began to pain him severely. Mr. Tedford brought him home in the afternoon, but he suffered so badly that he was unable to preach Sunday night. We are pleased to state, however, that he is now recovering so far as to suffer little or no pain. Santa Ana Times. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Our friend S. H. McFadden has moved to Los Angeles, having been appointed mounted policeman in that city. We learn that he is to go next spring to Mexico, to take charge of a ranch of fifty thousand acres near Guaymas, in the interest of Los Angeles capitalists. E. W. Hawkins met with quite an accident a few days ago. In crossing a ditch near General Sanford's, he and his wife were thrown from the wagon. Mr. Hawkins escaped with a few bruises, but his wife struck on her head and was carried home in an unconscious state. Mr. S. A. Carey, lately "mine host" at the Sulphur Springs, has disposed of his business to Mr. Bunch, of Los Angeles. It is Mr. Carey's intention to farm his ranch near this place. We have a few cases of diphtheria in our neighborhood. None, however, have as yet proved fatal. Doctor Fulton called on us a few days ago. He says he and his wife were both happy to get back to Los Angeles County. Mrs. Fulton says she had no idea of the hard times in Mississippi. She says the people of California complain of hard times, but it is nothing compared to the situation of people in the Southern States. The rain on Sunday night last came just in time to revive the vegetation which was in danger of drying out, and to cheer the hearts of our farmers who are busy plowing for was yet a suckling, the pirates used to land at San Juan with their vessels, and that in that identical hollow in the ground they buried their ill-gotten wealth of gold and precious stones.

The doubters laughed at the idea of searching for the treasure, while the confident few handed themselves together as a prospecting party, binding themselves to fidelity and secrecy by the most horrible oaths and promises. The leader of the expedition gained the permission of the owner of the property to dig for the booty, providing he would agree that the holes made should be filled again when the search was concluded. The treasurer-hunters chose the hour of midnight as being the one most calculated to propitiate their fortunes, and on a dark night, armed with picks and shovels, they started in to work. They tore up the ground in that vicinity for several rods, and when the break of day warned them to desist from their unholy occupation, they found that, instead of a cave filled with chests of precious jewels and mouldy bags filled with glittering gold, they had been busy resurrecting an old ditch used in the time of the Missiones, to convey water from the San Juan creek to the old olive orchard, which still stands below the town. They shouldered their instruments and sneaked off to bed, and for some time to come it will be exceedingly unhealthy for anyone to mention the subject of hidden treasure anywhere in the immediate vicinity of San Juan Capistrano.

So we hope to see Santa Ana grape Paris, and some day be Orange. It is a rumor, but we hove on the streets; that they The Fire. On Thursday morning about fifteen minutes to two o'clock our townspeople were startled by the clanging of the fire bell. The vigilant officer had discovered flames issuing from the house in which the gas generator was placed. In a very few minutes our galiant firemen, accompanied by many of the citizens, were at the scene. It was useless to attempt the quenching of the flames, and dangerous to approach too near the burning building, as there were three tanks of gasoline which were ready to explode as soon as the fire reached them. There was not a breath of wind and no danger of the flames spreading to the surrounding buildings, so nothing was to be done but to watch the heat, white flames as they mounted toward the heavens, and listen to the dull thud of the tanks as they burst with the intense heat. The fire lasted for about two hours, melting and turning the iron of the generator into a thousand shapes. The loss is estimated at about two thousand dollars. Fortunately for the community, Mr. Bennerscheidt had a small machine, which was put into place on Thursday, which will furnish light until the burnt one can be replaced. Thermometrical Record. The following is our record for this week ending Wednesday r. m., Nov. 14th, giving lowest point by night preceding date, and highest by day: DATE | LAST | TAK | HIGHEST | TAK | LOWEST | TAK | HIGHEST | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Nov. 8 | 54 | 56 | 56 | 70 | Nov. 12 | 53 | 55 | 60 | Nov. 9 | 64 | 75 | 65 | 70 | "13" | 44 | 45 | 60 | Nov. 10 | 64 | 56 | 78 | 63 | "14" | 44 | 45 | 75 | Nov. 11 | 44 | 48 | 73 | 56 | ... | ... | ... | "A did you steal the complainant's coat!" asked the Magistrate of a seedy individual who was arraigned before him. "I decline to gratify the morbid curiosity of the public by answering that question," responded the seedy individual, with a scornful glance at the reporter. We are informed that there will be a horse race at Old Los Nietos on Sunday next. Corn market stagnant; no buyers. There were 350 sacks sold and delivered at the depot last week at $1.11 gold. Mr. True, who recently arrived from Massachusetts, has purchased the old Farrington place a mile from town, which he will improve. Mr. True is quite an invalid, and came to this State in search of health. Nov. 15 J. E. C. Post Office Letter List.

Published notice that the Los Bolsas Palette has been recorded in Los Angeles, and that the squatters have retained Judge Brunson and other lawyers to prosecute their claim, creates a deep interest in this long disputed case. We have made inquiries of various parties, trying to ascertain how the matter stands in the opinion of persons on both sides, but have not time to coudense and arrange these opinions for this letter. In our next we hope to state both sides. A few days ago business called us to the Alden Fruit Dryer, and for the first time we witnessed the operation so often mentioned in these columns. Mr. Sorenson kindly showed us through the works, surprising us by producing such a varied line of their products: Quinces, apples, pears, grapes, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, beans, etc. They are using very neat packages for their goods and find a growing demand for them. We were told it required 22 lbs of tomatoes to give one pound of the dry; and were shown a small pasteboard box which contained all the substance of 25 lbs of good onions. If one can judge by the small, the box contained the substance and flavor of 25 bushels of rank onions. The squash looked like yellow corn meal; the fruit looked and tasted rich and good, and all who have used these goods pronounce them strictly first class. Last Sabbath morning Rev. S. B. King, of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. J. A. Van Aalen, of the Methodist Church, exchanged pulpits. The affair was a pleasant surprise for both congregations. The grape season is over. J. M. Clark sold over 5,000 lbs in one week and gathered 30,000 lbs from scant five acres. We had a "Santa Ana" on Thursday, drying corn and things considerably and quite a heavy rain Sunday night, that wet them up again. So far this season we have had over 5 of an inch rain fall. The Coyote hunt on Saturday was, like the first one, a failure. W. G. McPherson has rented his farm for the coming season to Mr. Warner, who is erecting a small house. W. A. Leach and family returned from Iowa. Saturday night, preferring Los Angeles county to the bleak prairies. Wm. Crowther is here, looking as though his European trip agreed with him. Marion Crittenden has sold his place to N. Hanaler and starts East next week, much to the regret of his neighbors. F. Porter is getting his house toward completion; when all finished it will be one of the neatest houses in the settlement. J. M. Clark is building an addition to his house. under the able superintendence of a gentleman from Kewallee. We see quite a number of teams over the valley ploughing for barley. It is a daily occurrence to see strangers looking around for homes, and they all appear pleased with the future prospects of this vicinity. Several parties contemplate sowing wheat this winter on the high lands. We have seen as fine wheat produced as we ever saw anywhere. The plains east of town are quite green. The alfilerce is almost high enough to pasture. Rev. Howard of this place begins a protracted meeting at Garden Grove this week. Next week is vacation, and the boys are already devising plans for destroying the whole goose and duck family. The enclosing of the railroad part of the bridge across the Santa Ana by a tight board fence 8 feet high, is an improvement unlooked for, but nevertheless it is so. X.Y.Z New York Fashion. OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENCE OF GAZETTE. OUT-DOOR CONTUMES. Whatever else you may see fit to do, have nothing to do with a short cloak. Neither let your cloak be of plain material, unless perchance that material be silk. Yet even here I would advise the choice of silk devised in mosaic patterns, for Fashion has set her face against plain materials of every kind, unless as an offset to such as display bourette or mosaic characteristics. Even plain velvet, although the most truly respectable thing possible, is at a discount. Stylish cloth cloaks also show throughout long, hairy tuftings, and others are mottled in keeping with bourette goods. As to shapes, in the selection of something to grumble about, do not let us choose these. They are all that we can ask, and with circulars, dolmans, and mantillas on the one side, and sacques on the other, one must be a very Mrs. Gummidge if one does not find something to suit. But in my judgment, the style which will prevail is the demi-long, half-fitting sacque. In this shape the "Felicia" and "Aurelia" are handsome designs, adapted either to material en suite with the costume, or to independent garments of any kind of goods. PUNS. In fur's pelletine is the newest thing... The Coyote hunt on Saturday was, like the first one, a failure. W. G. McPherson has rented his farm for the coming season to Mr. Warner, who is erecting a small house. W. A. Leach and family returned from Iowa Saturday night, preferring Los Angeles county to the bleak prairie. Wm. Crowther is here, looking as though his European trip agreed with him.

Davis is improving his home. J. H. Parker and A. T. Taylor are changing the appearance of their houses by using the brush. The Co-operative Company are having the low places near their store filled in. Caldwell & Chase are boring a well for S. J. Penly. Arteia has been boasting over her 16lb sweet potato as the largest grown in the county. But she will have to give way to Westminster and try again. D. Griswold beats them by five pounds—growing one weighing 21 pounds and another weighing 18 pounds. Different persons have been sending to the Co-operative store specimens of pears and apples until there is a display of Westminster fruit which surprises everyone. We notice the following varieties of pears: Howell, Lawrence, and a very large un-named one from Mr. Van Anda's orchard. Apples of the following varieties: Buckingham, Olio, Nonpareil, Stark, English Golden Russet, Gloria Mundi, Roxbury Russet, Rhode Island Greening, Tompkins County King, Rawles' Janet, Ben Davis, Yellow Bell Flower, Yellow Newtown, Pippin, Fall Pippin, Rome Beauty, Rambo, Smith Cider, Nickajack, Baldwin, Wine Sap, White Winter Pearmain and others. Some of the samples are very large, while in other varieties there are far better specimens here. There are also several varieties not represented. Those on exhibition are from the orchards of Messrs Strong, Van Anda, Marquis, M. Crittenden, Craig, Josiah McCoy, J. E. Davis, Keifhaber and Torrey. Why not add to this display sample ears of corn? We hope Messrs. Mills and Griswold will contribute in this line. We see a notice up for a meeting at the Hall next Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock, to hear the report of Messrs. Stevens, Sherwood and Preston, the committee appointed last February to draw plans and make estimates as to probable cost of improving the Plaza lot. All interested are invited to attend. The oyster supper given in the Hall on Tuesday evening by the Presbyterian social was a success, and great credit is due the ladies who had charge of it. The profits of the evening were a little over $25. Nov. 15. J.T. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Quite a little shower visited this locality on Sunday night, and everything looks green in consequence—X.Y.Z not excepted. We notice Mr. Bion gives us credit as a lecturer on railway matters, and suggests that we do not as he does, but as the editor of the Gazette. So we do, Bro.B. We hope to see Santa Ana grow larger than Paris, and some day be able to cope with Orange. It is a rumor, but we hear it occasionally on the streets, that the railroad will cross In furs, the pelterine is the newest thing—a cape reaching to the shoulders, and having long ends in front, rounded down and finish-by three fur tassels on either side. Bows, however, are by no means discarded, but we observe an increase in length, since the most fashionable are from two to two and a half yards long. Muffs are quite small and finished with tassels of fur, these being in greater favor in the way of ornamentation than anything else. All things considered, sealskin is perhaps the most desirable of furs, as it is dressy enough to be worn with a handsome costume, yet may suitably accompany a plain outfit, while it is also regarded as appropriate for mourning. Sealskin sacques retain prestige, but dolmans of sealskin have been more recently introduced. Silk sacques and circular lined with fur are worn, but we do not rush after them as we did two years ago. Lynx and black marten rank next to sealskin. Chinchilla is a beautiful fur, and very fashionable, but although prices are not extravagant, it becomes expensive because it is not durable. As to sablés of finer quality, black and silver fox, I can only express my admiration of the woman who wears them. If she is not very happy, she ought to be, for she has the satisfaction of knowing that she causes many pangs of unhappiness to other women who survey her with envious eye. Mink is as thoroughly respectable as velvet, but fashionables pass the one as the other, "on the other side." NEW DESIGNS. GLOVES. LINGERIE. The "Victoria" dress is cut in princess style, with drapery across the front; the Royal Princess dress shows a peculiarly graceful arrangement of scarf drapery; the Adrienne basque is a stylish modification of the Breton basque, and may be worn with the Van Zandt overskirt, which has a long apron draped across the front, and is laid at the back in a deep box-plait fastened by a sash. The new gloves, heavily stitched or embroidered on the back of the hand, divide favor with the self-stitched in the same delicate styles hitherto seen. In color, the medium shades are most worn, but serviceable and even handsome gloves are in dark hues, while for dress occasions we find all manner of pale tints, to say nothing of white. For evening or full dress, the Harris Prewst side-cut glove is preferred, as it is extremely elegant and stylish. The Harris seamless is also very durable and perfect in fit, while somewhat more moderate in price. The Victoria and Donna Maria are much esteemed by judicious purchasers. We hear much talk about "new collars," but the facts are that there is really no "new departure" in this line, and the upright linen collar with ends rolled over (most masculine thing possible).

We hope to see Santa Ana grow even larger than Paris, and some day be able to cope with Orange. It is a rumor, but we hear it occasionally on the streets, that the railroad will cross the river this week. There is a prevailing among the Celestials that the S. P. R.

Verily, Bion's informant must have been loco, for there has never been a party in Orange that was a failure, since Orange has been Orange. We are informed that the water in zanjas that was to have belonged to Capt. Knox at this time has been purchased by Mr. Clark, and will be offered for sale to the Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. at their next meeting, for cost. Bee men in the Santiago hills are anticipating a rich harvest the coming season. Messrs. Barham and Olden were in town Monday looking around at the sights. They do not differ materially from other rural folks. The literary society met at the residence of L. J. Lockhart on Saturday evening, a full house in attendance. The performance exceeded expectations, and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Adjourned to meet at the residence of H. Lockwood, on Saturday evening, 24th inst. A. Caldwell was in town on Tuesday. He is now a resident of Santa Ana. Aleck still retains hope of a double-blessedness some day. He bases his opinions on recent events in that line. Messrs. Toberman & Co. will set 100 acres to semi-tropical fruit trees this season north of Orange. Anne Travis disposals of two 20-acre tracts of land this week to parties that will settle and improve the same. Work on the zanja is progressing rapidly favor with the self-stitched in the same delicate styles hitherto seen. In color, the medium shades are most worn, but serviceable and even handsome gloves are in dark hues, while for dress occasions we find all manner of pale tints, to any nothing of white. For evening or full dress, the Harris Prewst side-cut glove is preferred, as it is extremely elegant and stylish. The Harris seamless is also very durable and perfect in fit, while somewhat more moderate in price. The Victoria and Donna Maria are much esteemed by juillicous purchasers. We hear much talk about "new collars," but the facts are that there is really no "new departure" in this line, and the upright linen collar with ends rolled over (most masculine thing possible) continues to be more liked than anything else. A change is afforded by all manner of lace and crepe lisse ruchings; these last being intensely feminine. EVENING TOILETS. It will not be commonplace enough to write that evening toilette are beautiful. That is a matter of course. But there are some characteristics peculiar to the present season, and of these we will do well to take note. Prominent here we find close, straight falling drapery, often without any looping, and heavy materials are therefore employed to the disadvantage of diaphanous fabrics. The latter of course can never be discarded, but this winter they are but little need in comparison with the former. Satin, velvet, and thick silk, plain woven, are combined with materials of like character wrought in Oriental bourette and mosaic designs. Superbly rich fringes are the favorite finish, but not to the exclusion of bands and box plaitings. A low corsage is the exception, since the great number show sleeves to the elbow, with heart-shaped or Pompadour front; the arm being covered with a side-buttoned glove. Clair de lume and other jets illumine dark tiles worn by middle-aged ladies, but on light-colored toilets they are not much used, as the effect would not be good. In the evening toilet especially is found the opportunity for a pretty stocking, and the art of showing it coquettishly deserves serious study. The permanentization is all on the instep, and the choice lies between beads, embroidery, and open work. LUSY CARTER. Orangethorpe School.
