REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. M. B. Craig returned from Fresno county yesterday, and reports the San Joaquin country flooded and many acres of wheat drowned out. He was one of the passengers who started from San Francisco for Los Angeles by railroad, but on account of the washout could not pass Bakerfield, and the account he gives does not indicate speed reconstruction of the road. From Bakerfield to Caliente, about twenty miles, the railroad greases the river seventeen times, and fifteen of these seventeen bridges were washed away. From Caliente to Mojave, 65 miles, the whole road is badly demoralized, there being washes of from twenty feet to a mile wide, and some of the tunnels are damaged. A large part of the damage is in very heavy fills, and the opinion was freely expressed by men in the company's employ as well as by others who had passed over or around the damaged section, that it could not be put in thorough working order until after the rains were over and the weather had become fully settled. The railroad company had the passengers all returned to San Francisco; whence they came by steamers. Mr. Frankel of Downey determined to try getting through by the old stage road, and got as far as Tachepi in a wagon. Then he boarded a construction train and canneled through. It seems good to get our through mail again, after being without it over a week, and we sincerely hope that we are not to be narrowed down to mail on steamer days only. After reading of the serious times caused by floods in the upper part of the State—cities threatened, men washed off the levees, etc., we can but feel our lot might be much worse than it is, and we offer this as a crumb of cold comfort to our people. Disagreeable as it is, it might be tenfold worse. Mr. Strong tells us there is a good road from his upper corner the entire distance to Anaheim, by taking the lower Anaheim Landing road. No school this week, on account of the roads and the weather. Parties from this place are spending a few days in the Santiago mountains. What a delightful time they must be having. The Co-operative Co. talk of building an addition on the west side of their store for office uses; it is needed. Last Thursday a number of our menturned out and dug a ditch from Mr. Layman's corner down past Mr. Van Anda's, to run off the water that had been running down from the northeast corner of our settlement down through town, into the slough. The rain of Tuesday night caused it to break out, and as a result Westminster has re-assumed her Venetian appearance. Mr. Strong has sold his forty acres near Garden Grove to Mr. Harmon, whose land it joined. Consideration $1,600. Tustin City CORESPONDENCE More rain and plenty yesterday about 5 o'clock all night. Farmers are their land ready for oats will commence planting. Mr. Irvine has had the City to his ranch house be a good road when seated farmers are very busy rancho. There will be both corn grown on the hill The principal streets ed and turnpiled soon. Mr. Milh has set out trees this season—print and lime. Mr. Preston ground for trees and gravel on the road that leads ger's colony, which is given finest streets in the coarse mile it is lined with orchids. Tustin City Park will spring with ornamentals. It would be a good Trustees would have have a tax levied to block. It looks green weeds are so large that hardly be seen when oats for colds and coughs take Freeman & Eddy are in their blacksmith and have turned out a lace pumps this season. Mr. Wakefield and large quantity of wheat Newport. Our new Christian good thing in having an Sunday night, for some friends need shaking up wicked that the preacher us go up in our wick Henry deserves much the wicked people on sinners, with a little brothers and sisters some kind of entertainment. We need more seats haps the members do most of the seats now man, and he may at any time take his benches. Our own and plenty of will not have to sit in the window glass. An appointed to look after The Tustin City Library very interesting. It runs day evening. There tendance than can be if we had three more present one, to furnish along. If proper acco The members of the Anaheim Fire Department are hereby notified that the regular meeting will be held on next Wednesday evening, and that among other important business to be transacted is the election of officers for the ensuing year. Ex-Senator Charles Maclay, of San Fernando, has gone to Sacramento to use his influence with the Legislature with a view to securing the passage of a bill giving Los Angeles two annual sessions of the Supreme Court of the State. Extra copies of the Weekly Gazette, in wrappers ready for mailing, can be had at this office. The paper issued to-day is a good one to mail to your friends. It contains correspondence from various parts of the county, report of the masquerade ball, and a great deal of general and local news of interest. A correspondent of the Santa Ana Times says: The wheat and barley sown upon the mesa is growing very rapidly, ditto alfileria and clover. The latter, by the way, is proving very injurious to the stock feeding upon it. They bleat up and die very suddenly, unless relieved. Several head have died hereabouts recently. Will some one suggest a remedy or antidote? On Thursday night of last week, at the Santa Ysabel Rancho, some unknown parties came to the cabin of the major-domo of Mr. Isaac Lankershim, who has leased the ranch for his sheep. They knocked loudly on the door, and when the major-domo opened it, fired upon him without a word, and fled. The man was struck on the hip by a bullet and seriously wounded. He was taken to Julian for surgical treatment. —San Diego Union. New Social Club. A meeting was held on Wednesday evening at the office of Wicks & Stephenson, and a social organization formed, to be known as the "Magnolia Social Club." The following are the charter members: Adolph Rimpau, C. E. Leonard, W. D. Stephenson, Fred Langenberger, Fred W. Athearn, M. A. Mendelson, Fred Hartung, N. Willard, G. D. Plato, Fred Rimpau, H. Cahen. An election for officers was held, with the following result: President, M. A. Mendelson. Vice-President, Fred W. Athearn. Secretary, G. D. Plato. Treasurer, A. Rimpau. A committee was also appointed to draft by-laws for the government of the association and to have the necessary alterations and repairs made in the hall over A. G. Beebe's store, which has been leased by the Club from P. Davis & Bro. for a term of years. Another meeting will be held in Wicks & Stephenson's office on next Wednesday evening. Orangethorpe Literary Club. The above club will have a meeting at the Department of Public Works on Friday morning. Parties from this place are open daily in the Santiago mountains. What a delightful time they must be having. The Co-operative Co. talk of building an addition on the west side of their store for office uses; it is needed. Last Thursday a number of our menturned out and dug a ditch from Mr. Layman's corner down past Mr. Van Anda's, to run off the water that had been running down from the northeast corner of our settlement down through town, into the slough. The rain of Tuesday night caused it to break out, and as a result Westminster has re-assumed her Venitian appearance. Mr. Strong has sold his forty acres near Garden Grove to Mr. Harmon, whose land it joined. Consideration $1,600. Since our last letter we have had 14 inches more rain. For the season 16¾ inches. Don't despair; it can't rain all summer. Z. McChesney is about selling his place and moving to Cerritos colony. Williams & Lackeyhave leased 500 acres at Mr. Messenger's colony—Fairhaven—between Orange and Tustin, and will put it in corn. A movement is under way looking to thorough drainage here; the plan is to circulate a petition and try to get all our land owners to agree to pay, either in cash or work, an assessment of twenty-five cents per acre on all land in the original Westminster limits and the additions thereto. The sum thus raised to be expended under the direction of a board of five overseers, to be chosen by the parties subscribing, in ways tending to effectually drain our whole region. A general meeting will be held March 9th, to conclude the arrangement. We hope all of our people will enter into this plan and so put a stop to all chance of any repetition of the flooding we have had this winter. It will add largely to the value of our lands as well as to the healthfulness of our place. February 28th. Santa Ana Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The laboring men of Santa Ana have their troubles as well as those of San Francisco. One faction is in favor of the Kearney movement and is thoroughly organized. Another is headed by the friends of the National Labor movement, and still another by those horny handed sons of tail—Hung Kee and Ling Ton. All of these different factions are thoroughly organized and like all other political parties claim to have the largest following. The obnoxious clause, referred to in my last in, the by-laws of the original movement, has been abolished and the squabble now seems to be over the offices. The Kearnyites, headed by the disciple from the land of punch, priests and potatoes (Harry Lorrequer, page 31 line 1821) found that he had started a ball which he could not control, and is now in a crowd by himself, there having been two secessions from his army, Ling Ton, a greasy complacent individual from the Flowery Land, with a bare spot on the side of his head, made by an Irish frying pan, laments the loss of the half dollar he invested in the start (although he did it without invitation.) The trouble is that the treasurer seceded from the first organization and joined the National Labor Movement, and took the money with him, and they won't allow Ling Ton in that party; hence he is out his half dollar. In revenge, he and Hung Kee, with the balance of their celestial brethren, have started a party of their own. The school bond steal in this district has been nipped in the bad. Our representatives in the Legislature have given the lie to the assertion that they were pledged to pass such a bill before the election, whether or not! They have notified the citizens of this district that no legislation will be had contrary to We need more seats haps the members do most of the seats now man, and he may at least own and plenty of them will not have to sit in the window glass.

Dear Sir: I have received a letter from Mr. Northam, asking if two certain deeds—one from Sam Brannan to B. Holladay, the other from B. Holladay to E. F. Northam,—were all regular and correct, and if so to notify him by telegraph, and to write you to the same effect. I have telegraphed Mr. Northam that they seemed to me all correct and regular, and I take great pleasure to inform you that they seem to me all right. Very truly yours, W. H. J. Brooks. The school bond steal in this district has been nipped in the bud. Our representatives in the Legislature have given the lie to the assertion that they were pledged to pass such a bill before the election, whether or not! They have notified the citizens of this district that no legislation will be had contrary to the wishes and interests of our people. The ringsters seem to have had some inkling of the matter also, as they have stopped the school, although there was $800 apportioned to the district but a few days ago. They sent an order up some time ago for the approval of the County Superintendent. He told them they had better pay the teachers before anything else was paid, and now they are in a quandary. This school business is getting interesting, and involves a visit to Stockton, Napa or San Quentin. Gospel Swampers are in town te-day, dripping like rats. Mr. L. H. Stine of San Juan was in town this week. He reports crop prospects good from that section. It was demonstrated last Thursday that Frank Mason and Arthur Carter knew how to whip jacknasses, but don't know how to win a race with them. We witnessed the working of Mr. Walton's new well boring apparatus on Mr. Sheffield's place last Thursday, and was gratified to find that it acted full as well as he expected. "Three Banded," the champion beeman of the wilds of Trabuco, was in town last Thursday. The many friends of Mr. Clarence Meacham and Miss Alice Cobler were gratified to learn of their union last Sunday evening, and all unite in wishing the happy couple a blissful future. Mr. Duane Young, late of Hardin county, Iowa, received a very amusing letter from one of his neighbors a short time ago, the gist of which was that he wanted Mr. Young to find a purchaser here for his place in Iowa, offering him a liberal commission, etc. As Mr. Young has located here, and is trying to get rid of what property he has left there at a sacrifice, it is rather amusing to receive a request from northern Iowa to find a customer in Semi-tropical California. The rain guage sharps state that there has fallen in Santa Ana 162 inches up to this date, March 1st. Average Temperature: Average highest and lowest temperatures are not provided. Average February: Rainfall Tuesday morning: 12 inches; afternoon: 14 inches. Rainfall Tuesday evening: 13 inches; afternoon: 15 inches.

It commenced yesterday about 5 o'clock, and rained nearly all night. Farmers are very busy getting their land ready for corn. Some of them will commence planting corn next month. Mr. Irvine has had the road from Tustin City to his ranch house turnpiked. It will be a good road when settled. Farmers are very busy on the San Joaquin rancho. There will be a large area of barley and corn grown on the rancho this season. The principal streets in town will be graded and turnpiked soon. Mr. Milfo has set out a great number of trees this season—principally orange, lemon and lime. Mr. Prebeli is preparing his ground for trees and grape vines. He lives on the road that leads from town to Messenger's colony, which is getting to be one of the finest streets in the county. For nearly one mile it is lined with orange trees. Tustin City Park will be improved this spring with ornamental trees. It would be a good thing if our School Trustees would have enterprise enough to have a tax levied to improve the school block. It looks green enough now, for the weeds are so large that the scholars can hardly be seen when out playing. It is good for colds and conghs to have it to. Freeman & Eddy are overrun with work in their blacksmith and wagon shop. They have turned out a large quantity of sulky plows this season. Mr. Wakefield and others have put in a large quantity of wheat in the mesa near Newport. Our new Christian friends have done a good thing in having a prayer meeting every Sunday night, for some of our old Christian friends need shaking up a little. We are so wicked that the preachers concluded to let us go on in our wicked ways. Mr. McHenry deserves much credit for sticking to the wicked people of this place; and the sinners, with a little help from the good brothers and sisters, would like to get up some kind of entertainment for his benefit. We need more seats in the Church. Perhaps the members do not know that the most of the seats now used belong to a saloon man, and he may at any time build a saloon and take his benches. Let us get seats of our own and plenty of them, so, that people will not have to sit in the window and break the window glass. A committee should be appointed to look after this thing. The Tustin City Literary Society is getting very interesting. It meets every other Saturday evening. There is always a larger attendance than can be provided with seats. If we had three more saloon men like the present one, to furnish seats, we could get along. If proper accommodations were pro- About Olives. Eds. Gazette:—In your issue of to-day, (Feb. 27th) I read an article on the preparation of the olive for the table. I have been in the habit every year of preparing a few for my own use, which from a gastronomical point of view, as well as for healthfulness, I believe to be superior to any other mode of preparing that fruit. That you may judge for yourself (I know you to be a good judge in gastronomy) I herewith send you a small sample; and should their delicacy find favor with your gustatory nerves, and should you wish to be instructed in the very simple process of their preparation, I will furnish you with the recipe at something less than $100 per folio. Amigo The olives accompanying the above are prepared in an original manner, and are quite toothsome. "Amigo," like a good citizen, should acquaint his fellow citizens with the manner of preparation, and for that purpose we tender him the use of these columns. The Railroad. A train, carrying passengers, mail and express was dispatched for San Francisco at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and hopes were expressed by the railroad authorities that it would be able to make its way through. But it seems they were badly informed as to the condition of the line. At Mohave the train came to a stop, and, after ascertaining that the road beyond that point was in about as bad a condition as ever, the engineer took the train back and returned to Los Angeles, arriving about 5 o'clock this morning. Fortunately the mail and express matter which had been sent off on this wild goose chase was returned in time to be sent aboard the steamer which left Thursday morning for San Francisco. We learn through a private telegram received here that the south bound train which had made its way as far as Sumner, and there remained weather bound for a week past, gave up the effort to get through this morning and started on its return to San Francisco. A special train with coast and way mail cars was again dispatched to Mohave on Thursday. Post Office Letter List.

We are glad to know that the Santa Ana Literary Society meets so close to Tustin. It looks friendly. Mr. Sallee has the water running in from the Santiago Creek every time it rains. How it makes the weeds grow! Feb. 27. A Rejoinder. We have received a communication from Mr. Arthur Johnston, a part of which we give below. The opening paragraph is suppressed because it merely gives the writer's views of how a paper should be conducted, and is, therefore, of no earthly interest. Eds. Gazette: * And now for a few words in reference to the last communication of X. Y. Z. (and it will be the last time I shall burden your columns or that of any other paper with this contemptible business). The "tedious discussion" at the Literary Society consisted of a very few remarks made by me against a parliamentary blunder about to be committed by the Society, which in my opinion would work harm to the Society, which opinion was shared by several other members. My remarks were delivered in a courteous manner, and should have given offence to none. The reason that I brought X. Y. Z. "into the focus" of my assertions was because it was plainly apparent that "Ax." and "X. Y. Z." were one and the same, as no one but himself would have taken the trouble to initiate X. Y. Z.'s very peculiar style. X. Y. Z. further says that I "wrote up the same society" (the Literary) "in such an unmany and disgusting style that the sensible editor, not a thousand miles away, would not insert it in his paper." The "unmanly and disgusting" article referred to consisted of the following words: "The Literacy Society is dead, or at least in articulo mortis. It died of a surfeit, like the giant in the nursery rhymes. It swallowed all, both great and small," and the incongruous element would not assimilate. This is but one of a long list of similar failures in Orange. The "O. O.," the "Conversation Society," the "Public Library," the "Dramatic Society," the "Grange," the "Odd Fellows," and even the Sunday School, which, though not dead, like Halley's comet is split into two parts, and like which, each part is slowly wasting away. The Methodist part of the school, it is true, still flourishes, but this is not dependent upon individual efforts alone, being backed by the powerful Methodist Church organization." This may perhaps appear to some to be unnecessarily severe, but it was my object, like a kind surgeon, to cut deep in order to cure. The Literary Society had already had three meetings at which no quorum was present, and the interest in it appeared to be totally dead. Though I thus predicted its decease, no one would have been more pleased than myself to have been proved a false prophet, (knowing as I do the beneficial effect exercised by such organizations upon the young in keeping them from the degrade.

Highworden, a colored physician residing in San Francisco, was this evening ejected from the Golden Angel Hotel by the proprietor on account of his color. Dr. Highworden had already been allotted a room and had dined when the proprietor told him he could not accommodate one of his race. Highworden was very indignant, and intimates that he will bring an action under the Civil Rights bill. It is understood that the action of the proprietor was influenced by one or two hide bound Democrats, members of the Assembly. Highworden is very gentlemanly in appearance, and apparently not a seer after notoriety. Augustus Mock, a twelve year old boy residing in Stoucheburg, Pa., and who, it is alleged, has never had more than fifteen months' schooling in his life, possesses an extraordinary memory. Notwithstanding his limited education he is an excellent mathematician, and converses fluently in English, German and Swedish. He recently surprised the teacher and pupils in the Sunday school by reciting, without a mistake, 1,092 questions and answers which he had committed to memory during the leisure moments of a single week. New York Feb. 19.-The Evening Post's A Sensible Observation. Eds. GAZETTE:—It is very evident there is much truth in the remark a lady made yesterday (she is a friend to both parties.) She said that Pimiento and X. Y. Z were not spanked half enough when they were little; one sick all his life therefore indulged; the other the pet baby and spoiled by maiden sisters.

New York, Feb. 19.—The Evening Post's special says: A serious affray occurred last night in the Princeton (N. J.) College between the Sophomores and eight Freshmen, in which one of the Sophomores was dangerously shot. A Sophomores' room was entered by Freshmen, who bound the inmates to chairs, shaved their heads and left them tied. Other Sophomores followed the Freshmen upon the latter retiring. Shots were exchanged, and Atterbury of the Sophomore class was wounded in the thigh. Great excitement prevails. BORN. ARVILLO—In Anaheim, February 28th, to the wife of Francisco Arvillo, a son.
