The postoffice at Four Corners, in this county, has been discontinued. Mr. Wm. Bowden, of the Santa Ana News, has been admitted to practice law in the District Court. Mr. Greck, of Los Angeles, has a strawberry tree about three feet in height, imported from France. Bad roads and delayed mails are the reasons for the conspicuous absence of our correspondents' letters. Two hundred and eighty-five valentines passed through the Anaheim Post-office on St. Valentine's day. A change has been made in the sailing of the Los Angeles. It arrives at San Pedro to-day; leaves for San Francisco on the 18th, and arrives at that port on the 20th. L'Union, of Los Angeles, says that the Lafayette Hotel in that city has been sold conditionally for $70,000, but one signature being required before making the sale public. Messrs. Dewey & Co., patent agents, San Francisco, report that a patent has been granted to P. A. Clark, of Anaheim, for an oscillating pump. A miner from the Santiago mountains brought into town on Thursday rocks which assayed $550 to the ton. I youch not for the truth d'vee see. But tell the tale as 'twas told to me. A lot of four-pound cannon balls were yesterday exhumed in some excavations in THE BLACK STAR COAL MINE. The Latest from the Coal Fields of the Santingo—Other Discoveries, etc. Simultaneously with the late splendid rainfall, comes to us the refreshing intelligence that a new "find" of an "enthusing" character has been opened up by the Black Star coal mine. A few weeks ago the company discontinued work on their tunnel and commenced sinking a shaft about a half of a mile to the south-west. Before commencing work on the shaft the dip of the coal measure in the tunnel was carefully surveyed, and it was believed that the shaft must reach the depth of 200 feet before striking the coal body. Two hundred feet through what was believed to be solid sandstone was no small matter, but Mr. Witte, who is Superintendent (as well as one of the largest owners) of the mine, is a man of nerve as well as being more than an average expert in coal mining, and selecting what he believed to be the right place, put the men to work. From the very surface of the ground indications of coal were found. Day after day, as the shaft attained greater depth, the prospects grew brighter. Little particles of coal were found; finally the sandstone began to assume a darker hue, and one day last week a blast sent out a shower of sparkling diamonds. They had struck a bonanza in a very unexpected manner at a depth of only 35 feet; not that for which they were working; that still lies buried a hundred and seventy-five feet below, and how many other measures may be cut through before that is reached must remain a mystery until the shaft shall have been completed. The strata just opened up measures eighteen inches, and rests on a base of black substance which, though not coal, bears a strong resemblance to it, and is so densely charged with carbonic gas that when put in fire it emits a very rank coal smell, and burns with a very dark blue blaze. The shaft is already four and one-half feet in this dark matter, which seems gradually to lose its earthly elements and improve in burning qualities, thus holding us in a dreadfully happy state of suspense as to what will be found just a little below. Last week a coal expert, with a large experience gained in the coal fields of Indiana, Illinois, and Kansas visited the Black Star coal mine and expressed the opinion that the prospects were favorable for a very extensive prospect. Our preachers over here with that fell disease, then them said, a few Sundays very pleasant, ro double have the controversy defthe devil; but what's t which human intelligent thority can never settle has long been a very concit, or conviction, and founded or not, it serves in the economy of the well be adhered to, like of the priests, for the as prevented and may yet certainly does not prescise light, nor harmonize character as a Being of an exceedingly ingenious in the police regulations and in destroying the id realize it on this earth as of elsewhere and herein wicked enough now, and need be.

A lot of four-pound cannon balls were yesterday exhumed in some excavations in the rear of the St. Charles Hotel. This spot was once used as an Arsenal and the memen-toes carry us back to the time of the American conquest.—Republican. We learn that the Messrs. Lankerahim and Van Nuys propose this year to ship the whole of their San Fernando wheat crop in the shape of flour. The mills will be erected some time during the next two or three months, precisely where in Los Angeles Co. we are not advised.—Herald. The well-borers have gotten down to a depth of about 212 feet on General Day's well. Having gone through all kinds of strata, except solid rock, they are now in cobble-stone, some as large as a man's list. The work progresses satisfactorily, and we are all indulging the belief that artesian water will be reached in less than 300 feet.—Santa Monica Outlook. We are informed that strong suspicions exist among some of our horse-men that the disease known as "glanders" has made its appearance in this county. It would be a great misfortune if this suspicion should turn out to be based on fact. But we ought to probe it to the bottom without delay. We suggest that the S. P. C. A. should hold an extraordinary meeting to investigate this alarming report, and if they find it true, take such steps as will lead to the speedy extirpation of this worst of all horse diseases.—Express. Mr. George B. Dillon, of this place, has received from a relative, a resident of Lincoln, Placer county, an acknowledgement of the receipt of a box of semi-tropical fruit, which we think worthy of print. It was Mark Twain, we believe, who advised a young literary friend to consume a whale or two as a means of increasing his brain power. There can be little doubt that if the writer of the following verses should apply himself assiduously to the consumption of several boxes of "oranges, lemons and limes," he would develop into quite a respectable poet: The box has arrived with its freight all secure, Of oranges, lemons and limes found and pure. I opened the box, in a jiffy to see. And found as above all fine as could be. I seized a large orange to test its contents. I mean with my pocket knife, not with my dents.

I'd spare, so densely charged with carbonic gas that when put in fire it emits a very rank coal smell, and burns with a very dark blue blaze. The shaft is already four and one-half feet in this dark matter, which seems gradually to lose its earthly elements and improve in burning qualities, thus holding us in a dreadfully happy state of suspense as to what will be found just a little below. Last week a coal expert, with a large experience gained in the coal fields of Indiana, Illinois, and Kansas visited the Black Star coal mine and expressed the opinion that the prospects were favorable for a very extensive deposit. He says that other streaks of sandstone may be met, but that they will be thin and of little consequence, and that ultimately something grand will be brought to light. This opinion is based on experience in Indiana, where mines of a similar character are being worked. The coal from the shaft is fine, having a brilliant lustre, and burns equal to the best English coal, with which it has been put to the severest test. While the work will be rigorously pushed in the shaft, there will also be a drift run in the coal vein already reached, as well as on each successive measure that may be encountered hereafter. The company is now thoroughly organized and everything is working finely. Stock to a limited amount has been put on the market, and in order that the principal part of the business of this valuable mine may be attracted to Anaheim, it is hoped that our citizens will come forward and take an interest in developing it. The Company will erect hoisting works at the shaft, with car, etc., immediately, in order to facilitate work at that point. Other discoveries of coal have been made in the Lomas de Santiago, but as the country is much broken it is hardly probably that any will be found to equal that of the Black Star, where the formation has been left in a comparatively undisturbed condition. There are already two well defined measures of coal, one of 3½ feet and one of eighteen inches in thickness, making five feet of good coal known to exist there, which will pay to work if nothing better can be found; but it is the opinion of all the knowing ones that these will fade into shabby insignificance by the side of what will be found when or before the 200-foot level is reached. Bion Rerividas. Eds. Gazette: After having waited in vain for several weeks, for some one to succeed us as your correspondent from Santa Ana, we have concluded to drop you a line or two at this time.

Ana, we have concluded to drop you a line or two at this time. We were induced to wait thus long because of reading the valedictories of both your brilliant correspondents from Orange and Westminster of '77 and their salutatories for this year. As we have never attempted the task that both say they undertook viz: to satisfy all, and in which they signally failed, and as they both seemed to think that a good reason for continuing their correspondence, we inferred that that left us out—hence, our silence. In our former correspondence we made a brilliant success. Our aim was lofty and we hit the mark every time in the bulls-eye, because we tried to please no one but ourselves; and if the terms are still satisfactory we will try to furnish your spicy paper a few items at regular intervals. Another reason that induces us to take up our pen at this time, is because we have been made the victim of the nefarious civil service policy of President Hayes. We were, as you are well aware, the efficient whiskey ganger of this district, but owing to the secret machinations of some enemy (probably some member of the society trying to rub the ruby tint from the nose of suffering humanity) we have been deprived of our position, and you know Mr. Editor how ably we filled that position. But this deprivation of our Grant-born right has enabled us to have more leisure time, because we have not the coin to sample on our own hook, therefore we write: Our business men are jubilant at the prospect for a good season and business of all kinds is looking up. R. H. Dibble is putting up a brick building on the corner of Main and Fourth Sts., 27x60 feet, two stories in height; it will be a credit to the place and will be the largest building of the kind in town when finished. Messrs. Roper & Butler are doing the carpenter work, and Messrs. Bessonette, formerly Anaheim, the brick laying and plastering. Mr. Nichols, of Los Angeles, has gone into partnership with H. W. Lake in the furniture business. Mr. Young a banker from Alden, Iowa, is here with a view of locating here in business. Mr. Carpenter of Nanaimo, British Columbia, has been here also. He owns large lumbering mills in Nanaimo and is a large shipper of all kinds of lumber. He is desirous of bringing his family to a more genial cline and has decided to locate here provided that he can get a side track at the depot to run into the lot that he has bought for a lumber yard. As he is well acquainted with the railroad magnates he is quite confident that he well enough to get up for breakfast. He failed rapidly during the day. P.M. his spirit passed quietly away. His general disposition and wary liberality of sentiment and consist in a word, his character as a Chamaleon hold a high place in the both clergy and laity wherever he record of an honorable life, and a large family of children and grand different parts of the United States. can obtain that privilege. He proposes to build the track at his own expense. Our preachers over here have been stricken with that fell disease, the Hell mania. One of them said, a few Sundays ago: "It would be very pleasant, no doubt, to meet people, to have the controversy decided against hell and the devil; but what's the use of a contention which human intelligence and sacerdotal authority can never settle? The fear of hell has long been a very conservative social conceit, or conviction, and whether it is well founded or not, it serves a good moral purpose in the economy of the world, and might as well be adhered to, like any other invention of the priests, for the sake of the evil it has prevented and may yet prevent. It (hell) certainly does not present God in a very amiable light, nor harmonize precisely with His character as being of infinite love, but it is an exceedingly ingenious and valuable device in the police regulations of human society, and in destroying the idea of hell we might realize it on this earth and in this life, instead of elsewhere and hereafter. The world is wicked enough now, and the devil as free as need be. Take away the fear of eternal damnation for the breakers of human and divine laws, and we should have a hell here and now with a vengeance. I don't believe in it, but it is a very good conservator of the peace." Which is another way of saying, we suppose, that if there isn't a hell there ought to be. It is not necessary to state that preacher is not orthodox. Quite an interesting little fight is going on over here between the people and the school trustees and their few followers. The trouble seems to be that the trustees have ignored the laws in handling the funds of the district, and consequently they can't account for all the money spent. The trustees, in order to wipe out what few little discrepancies that appeared, sent a little bill up to the Legislature, asking for a little old $5000. The people have objected—ninety-five hundredths of them—in the shape of a little remonstrance which has just been sent to our legislators. The fight is a very pretty one as it stands, but rather unequal. The courts will have to settle it finally. Santa Ana, Feb. 9. The Culture of Roses. (From the Rural Press.) So many petitions have come to me for information about roses (and for cuttings to grow), that I will try to answer all the friends, with your permission, through your paper. I am so glad to have people grow flowers, especially roses, that I would prune my plants as long as they will bear it. I think I have given away more than 1,000 cuttings in the past three months, but very few persons ever succeeded in growing them, and those that do have to watch them quite as close as a mother would a sick child.

Plato Respectfully announce to the citizens of Anaheim and vicinity that the San Francisco member of the firm has lately taken advantage of an opportunity to purchase a full line of goods at prices below the ruling market rate. This therefore enables us to give our customers the benefit of first-class goods at prices much lower than has ever ruled in Anaheim. As is well known, we have lately been making a specialty of LADIES' AND CHILDREN'S GAITERS AND SHOES, And in order to secure this trade we make the following announcement, merely premising that we make an proportionate reduction on every class of goods in our store: Ladies' Kid Fox Gaiters, $1.25, formerly sold for $1.75. Ladies' all cloth Gaiters, $1.50, formerly sold for $2. Ladies' Gaiters, $1.50 per pair, formerly sold for $2. Ladies' Buttoned Gaiters, $2.50 formerly sold for $3.50. Misses' Gaiters, $1.25 formerly sold for $2.00. Childrens' Shoes, $1, formerly sold for $1.50. Children's Shoes, $0.50 formerly sold for $1. To enumerate the articles upon which we have made reductions would be almost impossible. We ask our friends, whether they intend to purchase or not, to call at our store and ascertain the prices of our goods. Our stock consists in part of DRY GOODS, LADIES' FANCY GOODS, CLOTHING, ROOTS SHOES,HATS,CAPS The Culture of Roses. So many petitions have come to me for information about roses (and for cuttings to grow), that I will try to answer all the friends, with your permission, through your paper. I am so so glad to have people grow flowers, especially roses, that I would prune my plants as long as they will bear it. I think I have given away more than 1,000 cuttings in the past three months, but very few persons ever succeeded in growing them, and those that do have to watch them quite as close as a mother would a sick child. The best way would be to get good cuttings and take one or two buds from each one and bud into any kind of rose-stock that is in good growing condition. I have often used what is called hybrid perpetual, those that bloom but one season, and find them a very good stock to bud into, but the Castillian or California rose is best, especially for running roses. The cuttings are just as good to plant after taking a bud from, if there are others left. Then if both cuttings and buds fail, I would advise all that desire good plants true to name, to buy them of trustworthy florists. I fully appreciate the song: Make your home beautiful, bring to it flowers, Plant them around you to bud and t bloom, They will bring joy to your loneliest hours, They will bring light to enliven your gloom. From my three years' experience, I like roses that are budded into strong growing stocks better than grown from cuttings. They grow faster and bloom more abundantly. Some rose growers advise planting them in masses or circular beds, but all that I have seen grown that way have been very unsatisfactory. They are harder to cultivate, prune and cut flowers from. Plant climbers around arbors, at trellises and veranda pillars, and always where they get the sunshine all day. Plant bush roses about two feet, no less, from the edge of walks, and all of four feet or more apart, and the same distance from all other plants. They grow fast, and need the sunshine at the root to keep them healthy, and plenty of space to draw sustenance from the soil. If the ground has never been cultivated it will reed plenty of old stable manure, and if the soil is heavy, creek sand should be dug into it before planting roses. Fine coal dust and iron filings from blacksmith shops give the petals a substance and high color otherwise unattainable. I added about one pint to each place before setting the plant. If planting in dry weather always shade and water them well the first two weeks after getting them from a florist, and they will bloom very soon. In putting out plants or cuttings it is necessary to beat the earth down quite firm around the stem, and leave a depression around it also to hold the water until it soaks away. Santa Barbara, Cal.
