OCTOBER. Westminster Items. BOULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Christmas festivals in the hall and the Methodist Church passed off according to programme. At both there was a good attendance despite the stormy night. In the hall there were two trees well covered with presents, and after the singing and speaking Santa Claus appeared, coming his old-time route down the chimney. As he emerged from the fireplace there was hearty applause, indicating that the genial old gentleman was as welcome as the gifts he soon began distributing. As usual some of the gifts might be termed practical jokes. At the Church they had one of the largest and handome trees we ever saw, from which, after singing, declamations and repeating scripture verses, and other exercises of the evening, there were distributed over 600 presents. Both the hall and the Church were handsomely decorated, showing fine taste on the part of those in charge. Most of the decorations in the hall were those arranged for the social last Tuesday evening. The holiday season, when every one is, in word at least, wishing all about him "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," and the glad song "Peace on earth, good will to men" is heard all about us, seems a most fitting time for everyone to bury and forget all personal foods and petty jealousies and to make firm resolutions to try to treat others with true manly and womanly courtesy. Quite a crowd assembled in front of Alward & Co.'s store last Friday to attend the sale of Dr.Gregory's horses and hogs. Constable Barham officized and obtained so high prices ($285,75) that a number of our people desire their property attached and sold by Barham, believing that he could get more than any one else. Notices are posted for Constable sale of a lot of beans Saturday. The Presbyterians held a congregational meeting in the hall on Tuesday it M.to consider measures connected with building a house of worship. Rev.J.Marquis in the chair and A.T.Taylor Secretary. The following was introduced and unanimously adopted: WHERE earnest but unsuccessful effort has been made to secure sufficient subsituitions to build a Presbyterian church according to plan submitted, thus showing that we cannot erect such a church at present without going heavily into debt; and whereas, it is evident that we must consider less expensive plans, or drop the matter of church building for the present; therefore Resolved, that we hereby rescind all action previously taken regarding the erection of a church edifice. A committee of three—Rev.S.E.King,and Messrs.Patterson and Torrey were appointed to secure plans for a church with a seating capacity of not less than 300, and coating from $2,000 to $3,000. Such plans are invited, the right being reserved to reject any or all plans submitted.Fuller Campaign commenced at the Willows.

We did well on Christmas considering how new we are. One celebration would not satisfy us, so we had two. On Tuesday evening, despite the cold and rain, a goodly number assembled at the school house, our only public building, to commence the celebration of the holidays. A beautiful tree was provided with numerous presents. The early part of the evening was passed pleasantly in songs, choruses and declamations, after which the ancient and venerable Santa Claus putin an appearance. Despite his age he was as joyful and jolly as ever, and was welcomed by both old and young. Although the weather was somewhat disagreeable all seemed to enjoy the rain, which was considered the best gist of all. Tuesday passed quietly. The committee appointed by the teachers of the Sunday School were very busy adjusting, and trimming the noble tree which had been obtained for the occasion. The evening was pleasant and as the shades of night commenced to hover over the scene the people communed to assemble, and long before the hour appointed for the exercises to commence the house was densely packed. The exercises consisted of songs and declamations by the members of the Sahbath school. Finally about eight o'clock, Santa Claus appeared and made all glad by the numerous and elegant presents which he distributed to all. Old and young, each seemed something, whereby to remember the occasion. The glorious rain makes us all jolly. James. Thermometrical Record. The following is our record for the week ending Wednesday P. M., Dec. 25th, giving lowest point by night preceding date, and highest by day: | Date | Downtown | T.A.M. | Highpoint | T.P.M. | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | Dec 20 | 20 | 51 | 54 | 65 | | Dec 21 | 44 | 46 | 62 | 57 | | Dec 22 | 42 | 44 | 64 | 58 | | Dec 23 | 44 | 46 | 62 | 46 | Papeteries are selling very fast at Woodruff. It is no wonder, as they are sold cheaper than the cheapest. Peaches the same way—one year from the bud and over 12 feet high and larger around than a man's wrist. The apricots, plums and prunes are as large—think of plums one year from the bud 14 feet high; apricots 12 feet, etc., etc., and then visit the nursery and see them. One point—and it is the paint in setting out an orchard—Mr. Strong's trees are true to name every time. What surprised us as much as the size of his trees was the low rates asked. Not much over half last year's charges. Of course orders are filled, and trees labeled with purchaser's name, in the order received, the first orders secure the best selections. Land is now getting in good condition for planting—and no one should delay in selecting his trees. On Monday we witnessed a successful trial trip of the new screw propeller which Mr. Hull tells us is to be used for sowing lighters in and out at the Landing. It worked satisfactorily—in the watering trough. E. L. Gold has purchased $23 from J. H. Fisher and intends going into chicken business. Santa Claus presented him with his first stock Monday night. J. H. Fisher and family leave here soon for San Luis Obispo—the change is made for the benefit of Mrs. Fisher's health. J. A. Campbell and family leave next week to locate east of Anaheim. We regret to chronicle these departures, and shall miss our friends. Bothwick & Trefethen finished Trafethen's well near the cemetery, 2½ inches as 152 feet. Caldwell and Chase have water at S. J. Fenley's, and Taylor and McCoy at Rev. J. Maack's, but neither well is finished. There have been 58 wells bored here this year, using over a mile and three quarters of pipe. The pipe alone cost over $8,000. During the past sixteen months we have written regularly to the Gazette—trying to faithfully chronicle the local events. Our apprenticeship has taught us 'tis impossible to please everyone, some taking offense at what has been written and others at what has been left unsaid. Whether we continue to occupy the post is undecided; but in view of our possible if not probable withdrawal, we would tender hearty thanks to the many friends who have assisted us in collecting items. But for this assistance—especially that of Rev. R. Strong, Alward Bros & Co. and T. C. Hull, our letters must have proved miserable failures. We are grateful for every consideration shown our letters, and hope that whoever writes next year the letters may be as well received. We wish the Gazette and all its readers and friends a useful, prosperous and "Happy New Year." Dec. 26. Morrison & Spees Are hereby notified that they must come forward and settle up.
