The report given in the Gazette of the Santiago coal mine, and the further information Cashier Selbert gave us of the intention of the present owners to fully develop and work the mine, is highly gratifying. There seems to be good prospects for a cheap fuel, and one that will keep the fire burning should the good housewife leave the stove for five minutes. Speed the day when the necessity for burning willow is a thing of the past. This coal is bright, clean, and pure, burns clear and makes a most cheerful fire. Our farmers are working energetically. Many of them have not finished gathering their corn. Others have finished, shelled it and are hauling it to the Landing for shipment. Many farms are being cleared of stalks, weeds, etc., and the ground being plowed for barley. Every one is busy or ought to be. The question met on all sides is, "are we going to have any rain?" "what kind of a season will we have?" etc. Some predict too heavy rainfall, and fear we will be drowned out; others are sanguine of a prosperous year. And the doleful growler is around, crying "dry winter," "starvation." One predicts from "signe that never fail" rain on the 29th; another says everything shows a long and heavy storm will begin Dec. 5th. But the best advice we have heard was "go on with your work and remember (pointing upward), they make no mistakes there." The beauty of our "semi-tropic" climate has been realized during the past few days; and how we have pitiful friends living at the East. If some of this weather could be sent to them how glad they would be—so would we. Persons who want to Newport and Santa Ana yesterday tell of a fearful Santa Ana wind at those places. California stories are proverbially "big;" but we have not seen nor read anything equal to the following which is found in the New York Ervinglist: "From the Ingersoll, Ont., factory has been turned out a cheese weighing 700 lb. It was 6 ft. 10 in. in diameter; 3 ft in height and 21 ft in circumference. It required one milking of 7000 cows, or 35 tons of milk to produce it." Westminster dairy must take a back seat for the present on the cheese question. We have before us the November Southern Cal. Horticulatorist. It contains much desirable information. A carefully prepared report, showing the area and number and age of trees, vines, etc., in the San Gabriel valley, and by whom owned, yield and value of fruit, when shipped, quantity of wine and brandy made, is specially valuable as showing in positive figures what can be done in different ways—systematic ties, turkey roasts, etc. There are a few things that think it no diagram lie provided said he afforded them a chance to We refer particularly that fabricate, training running down their Strangers may possibly at first but afterward that which they regard them appalling. Constable Titchenal this week in search of bury there is a gang of tlie pilfering going on. Dr. Truusdale lost a week; we also hear of a besies several homes on the boys on the ditch during absence at wo would be beneficial. Nov. 28 1877. Russian and Turkic A Turkish and Kissi dispute as to the subject their respective soldiers you on the spot," said perfectly our men are called his orderly." To Mehemet's buy me an arm and come back at once." The soldier saluted, then went out. "Now," said the Rus out his watch, "any straight to the next turn—the white mosque—now Maydan—now he is at is buying the tobacco back—now he is at the door—now ed out; "Iran!" "Sir." "Where's the tobacco Here, sir." The Turkish officer shriee at the precision of movement, promptly buys my soldier can do that week," and he called: "Muhetar!" "Sir." "Go to Ali Effendi bring me a pound of to empty." Instantly, sir." Following the tactics of the Turk pulled out his "Now, Muhetar is in the passing the palpouch bark..." of administration to Mary Ann Johnson on the estate of the late J. J. Johnson of Tustin City. —The ball at Fairview Hall on Thursday evening is said to have been well attended and to have been characterized by hearty enjoyment. —There was a bit of a scrimmage on Centre street Wednesday morning. One of the parties was from Gospel Swamp. There was not much blood spilt. —A gentleman who had become exhausted with his endeavors to drink up all the "tanglefoot" in Anaheim was wheeled to jail Wednesday afternoon by our valiant Marshal. —The game played by the Fairview Baseball Club on Thursday afternoon, was a very spirited contest, and was witnessed by fifty visitors. The following memoranda has been furnished us: 5 innings; 26 tallies; Hanna and Kellogg, catchers; Harris, of Westminster, umpire; Dailey and Marsh, captains of the picked nines; clean scores made by J. Hargrave and P. Crane, of the opposing sides. —Santa Monica Outlook: One of those periodical blunders that have occurred from time immemorial, was repeated in South Santa Monica yesterday, and it came very near proving fatal. It appears that Mr. Jas Ely, father-in-law of J. L. Barnes, gathered what he supposed to be mushrooms and had them cooked for dinner. He and Mrs. Barns ate freely of them, and both suddenly became very sick. The old gentleman was soon helpless, and Mrs. Barnes, who found her own strength failing, started hastily for the residence of the nearest neighbor, Mr. Dangerfield, some four or five hundred yards distant. About half way she fainted and fell. Luckily Mr. Dangerfield was looking in that direction, and at once went to the rescue. He found Mrs. Barnes unconscious, whom he soon partially restored by fanning with his hat. She at once faintly murmured "mushrooms." Mr. D. at once concluded what was the matter, and rushed back home procuring an emetic and the assistance of his wife, and returned and at once administered the necessary dose to all who had eaten of the "mushrooms." The little child was soon restored; Mrs. Barnes is much better, but Mr. Ely, who had eaten most heartily, at last accounts, was very sick. Anyone who cannot tell a mushroom from a toadstool, should check all desire for this fungus delicacy. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The 29th of November, Anno Domini, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, appointed by the President of the United States as a day of prayer, thanksgiving and feasting, has vanished into the irreverable past. It grieves us to reflect that we had no "oranberry with turkey sauce." Pumpkin pies also missing. Nevertheless we return our thanks. The "Santa Ana" which visited us on Wednesday forebodied us of the pre-York Erangelist: "From the Ingersoll, Ont., factory has been turned out a cheese weighing 700 lbs. It was 6 ft. 10 in. in diameter; 3 ft in height and 21 ft in circumference. It required one milking of 700 cows, or 35 tons of milk to produce it." Westminster dairies must take a back seat for the present on the cheese question. We have before us the November Southern Cal. Horizontalist. It contains much desirable information. A carefully prepared report, showing the area and number and age of trees, vines, etc., in the San Gabriel valley, and by whom owned, yield and value of fruit, when shipped, quantity of wine and brandy made, is specially valuable as showing in positive figures what can be done in tropical fruits. Reflection that every member of the Society receives this monthly free. J. H. Fisher has built a substantial stable. J. Giberson has finished a good barn 30x44 on his ranch. W. Keil is building quite a large house, to be plastered throughout for T. Edwards on his dairy farm. Mrs. Nixon has built a house near Dr. P. Howe's on the town lot she purchased of Mrs. Fisher. The best news we have heard in a long time is the announcement that after a few days our mail will be put up in Los Angeles, and that the punch marked for Westminster will be brought right here from the cars. This arrangement will make 24 hours difference in the time we get our San Francisco, Los Angeles and Eastern man, giving us Frisco papers the evening after they are published, and the thanks of the entire community are due Mr. J. F. Marquis, through whose earnest eneavors the change is effected. We see that Alward Bros.' & Co. have inserted an ad in the Gazette. Any of your readers who may visit their store will find them prepared to do all and more than they advertize. Robert Eccles has sold his south 49 acres to W. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell purchases for a brother whom he expects soon from England. A brother of J. Becket has arrived from Canada. Quarterly meeting at the Methodist church Saturday and Sunday. Services Saturday at 2:30 and 7 P.M., and Sunday at 11:30 A.M. 3 P.M. (Love Feast and Sacrament) and 7 P.M. Preaching by Presiding Elder Rev. A.M. Hough. Different parties intend eating their Thanksgiving dinner at the beach. The New York Committee have prepared an interesting programme for the annual reunion, full particulars of which we will give in due time. One pleasing feature is that less time will be taken up with speaking than heretofore, and that the entire exercises will be so cut down as to not prove tediously long. For the benefit of new-comers here who are during this dry weather firing weeds, etc., we would say they are liable for any damage done to other property by the fires they start spreading. J.T. Nov. 28th. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The stockholder's meeting on the zanja Wednesday was not largely attended owing to the unpleasant weather. Apetition will go before the supervisors at their next meeting, asking for a continuation of the county road running east to connect with the canyon road, near the picnic grounds. Mr. Taylor of Denver is looking for a home among us. He visited this place two years ago and has contemplated making it his Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The 29th of November, Anno Domini, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, appointed by the President of the United States as a day of prayer, thanksgiving and feasting, has vanished into the irrevocable past. It grieves us to reflect that we had no "oranberry with turkey sauce." Pumpkin pies also missing. Nevertheless we return our thanks. The "Santa Ana" which visited us on Wednesday forcibly reminded us of the prediction of Baron Von Humboldt, made about fifty years ago, based on observations made by him during his travels in this country. He said it was but a question of time when Southern California would become "one vast sand desert." Our well-borers are all busy; new wells being put down in all directions. Since the late rains nearly all the old wells have increased in flow. Shipped from the depot this week: 930 sacks of corn, weighing 110,942 pounds. Mr. Stuart, a professional prospector and mineralogist, called on us a few days ago on his way north from Lower California, having with him some very rich specimens of silver, lead and copper ore. He has been prospecting in the mountains down the coast about a hundred and fifty miles below San Diego, and has located several claims under the laws of Mexico, within ten miles of the seaport of Santo Tomas. On his return Mr. Stuart will at once commence to work his copper claims, shipping the ore direct to Swansea, Wales, for reduction. The ledge on which these claims are located varies in width from eight to twenty-five feet, and can be traced on the surface for a distance of nine or ten miles. The ore is sulphurets, and assays from sixty to sixty-five per cent of copper. On account of the prejudice against Americans, entertained by the people of that country, the gentlemen who are interested with Mr. Stuart are unable to form a company, hence Mr. Stuart is compelled to operate in his own name. Mr. Stuart is a native of Scotland and has prospected all over the Pacific slope for many years. During his stay here he had his horse shod and paid the bill in gold dust. Mr. J. R. Dolley, lately of Petaluma, has purchased the farm recently owned by Amos Chapman of Artesia, and has taken possession with his family and is much pleased with his purchase. J. E. C. Nov. 25th. A BEAUTIFUL CHROMOGIVEN AWAY TO SUBSCRIBERS TO THE SEMI-WEEKLY OR WEEKLY GAZETTE. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The stockholder's meeting on the zanja Wednesday was not largely attended owing to the unpleasant weather. A petition will go before the supervisors at their next meeting, asking for a continuation of the county road running east to connect with the canyon road, near the picnic grounds. Mr. Taylor of Denver is looking for a home among us. He visited this place two years ago and has contemplated making it his home ever since. Marcus Meyers left for San Francisco this week, where he will take charge of a street car as conductor. Work on the railroad progresses slowly. However, it will reach Santa Ana they say by the last of next week. Henry Neill intends erecting a large and commodious livery stable in Santa Ana. J. H. Parker is the contractor and builder. The oldest settler predicts plenty of rain this season, while other equally as ancient are looking for dry times until 1878. So it goes and we will have to put up with it. Geo Mosbaugh is sinking a surface well and contemplates erecting a wind mill. Mr. Hunt finished his well last week; he has plenty of water. There will be five or six windmills erected in this immediate vicinity as soon as they arrive, having already been ordered from Illinois. Mr. Fisher and family have moved to town from their former home near the foot hills. Jas Huntington having purchased their place and intends making it his home. The estate of J. A. Crawford will be sold at auction in front of the postoffice on Dec. 17. C. W. Shane administrator. Toberman & Co are negotiating with parties to set out 300 acres to trees instead of 100 as reported heretofore. If this is accomplished fruit will be plenty after awhile. Now that water is cheap, several parties are flooding their lands and the water is engaged some twenty days ahead. The Black Star coal mine located about twelve miles due east of here, is the theme of considerable speculation. Should it prove a success as every indication proves it will, the financial benefit to the whole community can hardly be estimated. There is no doubt other deposits of rich minerals are yet to be discovered in the Santiago hills and the success of the "Black Star" will hasten the development of others. S. N. Talkington has sold eight acres of his place west of Orange 1½ miles. Thanksgiving will be observed in many different ways—oyater supper, hunting parties, turkey roasts, etc. There are a few individuals hereabouts that think it no disgrace to tell a downright lie provided said lie will in any way afford them a chance to make a few dollars. We refer particularly to those individuals that fabricate, praising their possessions and running down their neighbor's property. Strangers may possibly believe their stories at first but afterward the silent contempt with which they regard these untruthful cusses is appalling. Constable Titehenal passed through town this week in search of horse thieves. Evidently there is a gang of these scoundrels, from the pilfering going on. Dr. Trusdlale host a pair of boots this week; we also hear of a saddle being stolen besides several horses of late, and several of the boys on the ditch have lost their coats during absence at work. A few examples would be beneficial. X.Y.Z. Nov. 28 1877. Russian and Turkish Discipline. A Turkish and Russian officer fell into a dispute as to the superiority in discipline of their respective soldiers. "I can prove to you on the spot," said the Russian, "how perfectly our men are trained." And he called his orderly. "Ivan!" "Sir." "Go to Mehemet's, buy me a pound of tobacco, and come back at once." The soldier saluted, turned on his heel and went out. "Now," said the Russian officer, taking out his watch, "any order is walking straight to the next corner, where he must turn—now he is turning—now he is opposite the white mosque—now he is crossing the Maydan—now focus at Mehemet's—now he is buying the tobacco—now he is coming back—now he is on the block below us—now he is at the door—now—and the officer called out: "Hean!" "Sir." "Where's the tobacco?", "Here, sir." This Turkish officer showing no sign of surprise at the precision of this Russo tobacco movement, promptly broke out: "Ho! ho! my soldier can do that every day in the week," and he called: "Muhetar!" "Sir." "Go to Ali Effendi's and see that you bring me a pound of tobacco. My pipe is empty." "Instantly, sir." Following the tactics of the Russian officer the Turk pulled out his watch and went on: "Now, Muhetar is in the street; now he is passing the palpooch bazar; now it is noon" A Shipload of Monkeys. [Hartford Times] An American consul officer, now in Washington on leave of absence, relates a very funny occurrence which came under his observation during his official residence in Liverpool. A successful and wealthy shipowner, having devoted more time to the business of money-making than to the cultivation of any of the unnecessary embellishments of the intellect, was considered by his business associates a little "off" in his orthography. He sent an order to Bombay, and among other things he wrote for two monkeys, which he wanted to present to some friends; but departing from the usual mode of spelling the word two he put it too. Perhaps the handwriting was not very legible, as is often the case with others than illiterate shipowners. At any rate the master of the ship read it 100, as did also the agents at Bombay. There was much astonishment at so strange an order, but the master was bound to obey it. Accordingly the services of a number of natives were secured and in a few days a hundred monkeys of all colors and previous conditions were secured. There were little black monkeys with eyes like beads, larger monkeys with whistlers, and baboons whose grave expression of countenance presented a ridiculous contrast to their undignified antics. The whole crowd chattered, screamed and fought in the cage which had been provided for them in the ship in spite of all efforts to keep them quiet. In a few days the homeward voyage was commenced and with it the troubles of the crew. As soon as the motions of the ship was felt the monkeys redoubled their noise, making a regular pandemonium of the ship. Relays of them shook the bars of the cage without a moment's hesitation for twenty-three hours out of twenty-four, until the cage was literally shaken to pieces, and the astonished sailors saw a cloud of monkeys suddenly issuing from the hold, scrambling, fighting and tumbling over each other as if their lives depended upon getting into the rigging in the shortest possible time. From that moment poor Jack had not a moment's peace. The monkeys, with mischievousness unparalleled, would steal everything they could lay their hands on. If clothes were hung up to dry they would carry them to the highest point attainable and pick them to pieces. It was necessary to set a guard over everything that was washed. When the cabin boy swept the deck he had to lock up the broom, for if he hid it ever so securely his back would scarcely be turned before an old ape, half as big as a man, would have it, going through the motions of sweeping the decks with an air of indescribable gravity. So great was the annoyance the officers could A singular controversy is going on at Marysville. John G. Briggs died. His two brothers called at the house of mourning a Presbyterian minister, who held burial services there. The funeral cortage then left the house, the brothers and the dead man's widow occupying one carriage. The undertaker had no definite instructions as to the course the procession should take. He finally called a halt, went to the chief mourner's carriage and asked whither he was to take the body. The brothers said, to the Protestant barryground; the widow said, to the Catholic Church. The dispute ended by the willow leaving the carriage, and walking by the side of the hearse. The brothers drove home. The body was then taken to the Catholic Church, buried in the Catholic Cemetery, by the side of the deceased's first wife. Subsequently, Bishop O'Connell published a card, stating that, in March last, the deceased had embraced the Catholic religion and abjured Masonry, and took and signed an oath to that effect. The brothers of the deceased publish a reply, in which they say that the deceased was unfortunately addicted to the use of liquor, that in March, at the time he made his profession of faith to the Bishop and recanted his Masonic vows, he was on a bed of sicknees, caused by debauch, and his mind was crazed, and they refer to several physicians to establish this; that during the ceremony of conversion, he was given a book, from which he was to read, and during the reading, which occupied the space of half an hour, he was given to drink clear whiskey from five to eight times, he often laying down the book, saying that he could not read unless they gave him the liquor, which was given to him by his nurse at his every request, stimulating his already over-excited brain and rendering him more unconscious and irresponsible for so solemn an act; that he afterwards disclaimed to them having knowingly signed the paper referred to by the Bishop, that he never entered the Catholic Church when he was in his sober senses, except when he attended the funeral of his first wife or that of some deceased friend; that he repeatedly said to them that he did not believe in the Catholic faith; that he remained a Mason in good standing, and a short time before his death told them and other friends that he wished to be buried by the Masons. Post Office Letter List. "The cheapest dining-room in New York" is a claim placed on a house on Grand st., close to Clinton. The restaurant is a plain room of moderate size, furnished with common tables and a large sideboard. "We put clothes on the tables when we opened, a week ago," said the elderly woman who,ided by her son, conducts the establishment, "but there was a rush of boys, who were neither mannerly nor neat, and we had to take them off. We are fitting up another room around the corner especially for the boys, and when that is open, we shall reserve this place for adults." Printed bills of fare were scattered about, giving the following prices: A small cup of tea or coffee, with sugar and milk, 1 cent; a cup of the ordinary size, two cents; bread and butter, one cent; soup, one cent; a slice of corned beef, one cent; a baked or boiled potato, one cent; cabbage, one cent; baked beans, one cent; boiled or fried mush, one cent; oatmeal, one cent; boiled rice, one cent; a quarter of a pie, three cents. The quality of all these things is excellent, but the one-cent portions are small, yet a fair appetite could be appeased for five cents and a ravenous one for ten. The arbitration plan works against us this time. England had to pay a pretty round sum for her Alabama fun, and we must give $5,500,000 for the Canadian fish that we hooked. Turn about is fair play. They have a Postmaster in Carrolton, Mo., so conscientious regarding the President's civil service order that he refuses to shake hands with a candidate. exited brain and rendering him more unconscious and irresponsible for so solenn an act; that he afterwards disclaimed to them having knowingly signed the paper referred to by the Bishop, that he never entered the Catholic Church when he was in his sober senses, except when he attended the funeral of his first wife or that of some deceased friend; that he repeatedly said to them that he did not believe in the Catholic faith; that he remained a Mason in good standing, and a short time before his death told them and other friends that he wished to be buried by the Masons.
