Since Sunday we have had showery days and nights. Wednesday night it rained hard, over an inch falling. Rainfall last reported 7½ inches, ditto for the past week 2 inches, making it for the season 9⅛ inches. These latter rains have, unlike what we had before, been quite warm, and as a result barley, alfalfa, and weeds commence to grow rapidly. Now is a splendid time to set out fruit trees; the ground is in a good condition, and the tender fibrous root of the trees are starting. By transplanting now these are all saved, and make their growth where the tree is to remain, thus securing more vigorous roots than when planted later in the season. Any one consulting his own interest will set out all the orchard he can this winter. Trees have never been so cheap as now, nor have finer than those of Mr. Strong ever been offered for sale; we greatly question whether as fine ones can ever be had again at as low rates. No one who saw the fine specimens of apples and pears grown on trees here, that were shown in the Cooperative store, will or can question our ability to produce the choiceest fruits in these lines. Nor are we behind in peaches, the finest ones we have seen on this coast being grown here. We might truly make the same claim for our apricots, quinces and other fruits. All do well. Again we urge all who have not sent in orders to do so at once; else they will find, when they want their stock, that the choicest ones are gone. Mr. Strong is making rapid sales. As a curiosity, as well as to show that "everything is (not) cheaper at the East than in California" we quote from an Eastern price list for '78 the following low (?) prices: Apples, 40 cts.; apricots, cherries, crab apples, quinces and dwarf pears, 50 cts.; peaches, 30 cts.; and standard pears, 75 cts., each. Apples four times as high priced as here and the trees only about one-third the size. The Presbyterian social in the Hall Tuesday evening was highly enjoyed by all who attended. The evening was showery and every one thought the attendance would be very small. But notwithstanding the inclement weather the Hall was comfortably filled, and the result of the evening was $17.50 profit for the ladies' fund. There was no stiffness or formality; an improptu programme was presented; everything went off smoothly and the affair was more deserving of the name "social" than any previous one had been. The refreshments were, as usual, very nice and the decorations of the room tasty. Last Sabbath was communion in the Presbyterian Church, Rev. S. B. King was assisted in the services of the day by Rev.'s Charge seven o'clock residing on skill place, charge of a brother Tho- On Thursday night the rain guage at Dr. Higgins' showed a rainfall for the season of exactly sixinches, a trifle more than indicated by Mr. Saxton's measurement. J. W. Finley, a printer, committed suicide by jumping into the Bay of San Francisco on the ninth inst. It is said he was at one time employed on a paper in Santa Ana and on the Los Angeles Herald. M. Gray, 105 Kearney Street, San Francisco, has issued a very pretty ballad "Do you ever dream of me." We do not suppose that any one will dream of us, but if they wish to obtain the ballad they can do so by mailing to M. Gray the small sum of thirty-five cents. Mr. D. W. Field, a former resident of this vicinity, paid a flying visit to Anaheim on Thursday, accompanied by Mr. H. M. Newhall, of San Francisco. Mr. Field, since he left here three years ago, has been superintendent of Mr. Newhall's immense stock ranch in Monterey county, an occupation which agrees with him, judging from his robust looks, which is in marked contrast with his appearance while a resident here. Senator Pierson, of San Francisco, who is making up statistics as the ground work for some new law relative to matrimonial contracts, has written to County Clerk Potts to ascertain the number of marriages and divorces registered in this county since 1862. A search of the archives discloses the fact that the number of licenses issued in that time is 2,720 and the number of divorces granted 122. An event occurred in Anaheim this week which we consider worth chronicling. This was the completion of a top wagon by McDermott & Grimshaw, the work on which was entirely done at their shop. It is said that this is the first time a wagon has been completed in all its parts by Anaheim workmen. That the quality of the work is first-class is proven by the fact that a purchaser was found almost as soon as the vehicle was ready to leave the shop. It sold for $375. Those who want a wagon or carriage should confer with Messra McDermott & Grimshaw, and we are confident that these gentlemen will satisfy them that they can turn out as good and cheap an article as any other shop in this part of the State. There was quite a romantic marriage at Newport last Sunday. It was as follows: Robert Wardlow and Miss Martha A. Draper, wishing to take upon themselves the matrimonial robe, in company with a minister and several others proceeded to Newport. There they made arrangement with an old sailor, Manuel, to take the party in a sail boat out across the bar. In due time they were about three miles out at sea, and then and there (so the story goes) they were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. In a short time they returned safely to shore, and proceeded to their carriage and there partook of an ample supply of wedding cake, etc. Just about this time a party from Santa Ana arrived and the deacon thought it would be no more then right that the newly made groom day evening was highly enjoyed by all who attended. The evening was showery and every one thought the attendance would be very small. But notwithstanding the inclement weather the Hall was comfortably filled, and the result of the evening was $17.50 profit for the ladies' fund. There was no stiffness or formality; an imprenupt programme was presented; everything went off smoothly and the affair was more deserving of the name "social" than any previous one had been. The refreshments were, as usual, very nice and the decorations of the room tasty. Last Sabbath was communion in the Presbyterian Church. Rev. S. B. King was assisted in the services of the day by Rev.'s Marquis and Mack. Four new members were received, three on profession and one by certificate. It is customary on this coast, when any new or striking phenomena is discovered, to at once conclude it must in some mysterious manner influence crops and prices for the next season. The latest instance of this kind we know of occurs here. Some of our farmers are worried—sure crops won't bring anything this year, etc., etc. We were interested, wanted to learn the "wherefor" and finally got down to the facts in the matter: "Torrey and Poor had actually gone to work on their places." The oldest inhabitants are amazed and earnestly ask "can these things be?" Caldwell & Chase have finished S. J. Finley's well—14 inches at 332 feet, making it the deepest well ever sunk here. W. H. Marquis is building a house on his town lot. E. I. Gobly won't try burning off salt grass again—it's too hot work to fight it. Dr. Gregory has left Santa Ana and is living on his ranch here, Miss Stewart, who has been visiting here for more than a year, starts for her Eastern home to-day—not as Miss Stewart, but as Mrs. John Patterson. Speaking figuratively, we throw all our old slippers and shoes after the newly married couple, wishing them every possible joy in all things. Every one will heartily congratulate them, and will regret to learn that they will make their home East instead of here. But should they visit us in the future many warm friends will cordially greet them. Mrs. James Booth, of San Francisco, is visiting her parents here. Mr. Booth comes in a few weeks, when they will make this their home. We regret to say Dr. P. Howe intends leaving Westminster next week and locating in San Luis Obispo. There was a very high tide Monday night. It brought one of the lighters ashore at the Landing, leaving it where 'tis generally dry land. Very little damage was done. Freight from San Francisco is down to $1 by steamer. Rev. P. D. Young has sold his 80 acres to Lotspeich Bros. of Orange, for $3000. The new colony Revs. Campbell and Spurlock are founding on the Cerritos is quite favorably spoken of. Messra Craig, McDowell and McChesney think of locating there. The Presbyterian Sunday school watch has been slow for a few Sabbaths, causing church services to begin behind time. Parents who seek the safety of their children should not send them to school here without providing life preservers; we do not wish to chronicle cases of drowning in the school house lake. If that body of water is to remain there, we would suggest stocking it with fish, thus making it of some use, and taking away part of the "cussing" it now receives. The roads here are a sight to behold—small river beds. Some parties are letting their day evening was highly enjoyed by all who attended.

After which the wedding party took their departure for home. —Santa Ana Times. In calling attention to the advertisement of Joseph Bennerscheidt, published in another column this morning, we think it proper to give a slight description of his improvement in well boring machinery, for which he has just received letters patent. Although the invention is an improved device for sinking or boring wells, Mr. Bennerscheidt will for the present use it only for the purpose described in the advertisement—for removing tools which have become lastened in wells. This patent consists in the application of a hydraulic stream of water, forebly ejected through a pipe and nozzle against the earth in the bottom of the well, by a pump. That the invention will stand the severest practical test, admits of no doubt. It has already been thoroughly tried, both before the patent was granted and since. On Tuesday the inventor was called to Artesia to remove from a well in that vicinity tools which had become inextriably fastened and had resisted all efforts of ordinary appliances to remove them. In three or four minutes after Mr. Bennerscheidt had fastened on to the wedged tools, they were brought to the surface. Such an invention is of real value. Wells in great numbers have formerly had to be abandoned on account of the tools becoming wedged in, and the probabilities of such a catastrophe were always dreaded by well borers. Mr. Bennerscheidt, we learn, will not sell the right to use his machine, but will personally superintend the work of removing obstacles in wells. The Presbyterian Sunday school watch has been slow for a few Sabbaths, causing church services to begin behind time. Parents who seek the safety of their children should not send them to school here without providing life preservers; we do not wish to chronicle cases of drowning in the school house lake. If that body of water is to remain there, we would suggest stocking it with fish, thus making it of some use, and taking away part of the "cussing" it now receives. The roads here are a sight to behold—small river beds. Some parties are letting their wells flow; the water runs on to other person's land and along our roads, and will make impassable mud holes. The law on this point is explicit, making it the duty of road masters to institute proceedings in such cases. We call on Mr. Davis to give this matter his attention. Deputy Sheriff Barham received notice to send fifty jurors to Los Angeles this morning, and those of our people who went to Anaheim yesterday were kindly invited by Dick to visit the county seat. They started this morning against their will. Our town site presents a novel sight this morning—water everywhere, and the shovel and hoe brigade are out trying to drain it off. It seems strange, when one day's ploughing would prevent this accumulation of water, that some one does not attend to it. Letting things remain this way don't speak well for our citizens, and shows that they deserve the cutting rebukes strangers freely utter on coming here. J. T. Jan. 17th. Wells, Fargo & Co.

Stephens, Judge of the County Court of the County of Los Angeles: We were convened on Monday and effected an organization early in the afternoon of that day. We have examined into twelve cases. We have found nine true bills, as follows: Two assault with deadly weapon, three house breaking, one felony, and three others. We recommend that the Board of Supervisors have the monthly report of Treasurer and County Auditor, with all appropriations made by the Board of Supervisors, published immediately after being made; also that the Board have published semi-annually the salary of each county officer with the fees he is entitled to. [Reports from Sub-Committees relative to the Committee of the Jail and Hospital, approving the manner in which they are conducted, were submitted.] The following report is submitted: Los Angeles, Jan. 11th. We, the Committee appointed by the Grand Jury of this term to consult with the Board of Supervisors in reference to the Hospital of this county, beg leave to make the following report: 1st. In reference to establishing a Poor Farm and Hospital in some suitable place near the city of Los Angeles, the Board of Supervisors are of the same opinion as your committee. 24. And that they have instructed our representatives in the Legislature to use their influence to pass a bill for State aid for the above purpose to the amount of $25,000, and also that, if not successful, to use their endeavors to have the bill, passed years ago, giving the Board of Supervisors the right to expend the sum of $16,000 for the above purpose within the city limits, changed so as to give them the option of locating such ground within or without the city limits.

The Express of Thursday says: About seven o'clock last evening, Samuel Laughlin, residing on Adams street opposite the Wolfskill place, was killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of his brother Thomas. We were unable to learn Accidental Shooting. The Express of Thursday says: About seven o'clock last evening, Samuel Laughlin, residing on Adams street opposite the Wolfskill place, was killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of his brother Thomas. We were unable to learn the full circumstances of the melancholy affair, but there seems to be no possible doubt that it was an accident. The unfortunate man received a charge in the left breast not far from the region of the heart, and, as the range was short, the shot scattered but little, tearing a large hole in the flesh. After receiving the wound he lived for about two hours. Thomas, who did the shooting, came up to police headquarters about 11 o'clock—after his brother had expired—and gave himself up. He was held to await the action of the Coroner's jury which held an inquest on the remains this forenoon. Deceased was about forty years of age and had been married but was divorced from his wife. He lived with his mother and brother on the homestead on Alameda street where the accident occurred. Express Although Anaheim is twelve miles inland from the ocean, the roaring of the surf was distinctly heard on several days this week. That a great commotion existed on old ocean is evidenced by the damage done the various wharves on the coast. Even the Santa Monica wharf, which has withstood the storms of previous winters without sustaining the slightest injury, had several piles carried away on Tuesday. The damage, however, was slight. The following officers of Santa Ana Lodge No. 236, I. O. O. F., were installed last Saturday night: Walter K. Robinson, N. G.; P. W. Straw, V. G.; Arthur Johnson, Sec.; J. H. Moesser, Treas.; G. W.

An exchange says: "Colonel Strong raised 40,000 pounds of ginned cotton from 100 acres in Merced valley last season, an average product of 400 pounds to the acre, which is a much larger yield than was obtained from the most noted cotton growing districts of the country. Of course Colonel Strong has only planted cotton on what is considered the choicest land, yet he is satisfied that with water for irrigation he could raise equal all prices. Report are the prices which retail purchasers have to pay at the store. PRODUCE.

An exchange says: "Colonel Strong raised 40,000 pounds of ginned cotton from 100 acres in Merced valley last season, an average product of 400 pounds to the acre, which is a much larger yield than was obtained from the most noted cotton growing districts of the country. Of course Colonel Strong has only planted cotton on what is considered the choicest land, yet he is satisfied that with water for irrigation he could raise equally as large a crop on much of the uplands of the San Joaquin valley.

If properly covered over it will retain the heat for full three hours and a half.

The ward Bishop was sent for every day, and laid hands upon them. This was all that was done. After the failure of the late insurrection in Japan, a richly-attired Japanese young lady was found lying dead in a castle moat, with her father's head in her left and a bloody knife in her right. She had cut off her father's head, at his command, and then killed herself, that the two might not be taken prisoners. T. H.
