REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The wild flowers have made their appearance, and beautifully diversify hill and dale with their sweet attractive faces. A nosegay of these poies rivals in beauty and perfume a fine bouquet of choice exotics from a well-kept flower garden. The heavy rains, which drenched the ground with such a copious supply of water, have caused vegetation to grow so luxuriantly that the cold nights, which retard the growth of crops, are gladly welcomed by farmers. There will be a bountiful crop of fruit this year, if the spring frosts do not nip the blossoms and bring them to an untimely end. Already there are some trees which contain many buds. In Mr. Alfred Metcalf's garden there is a young orange tree which has several hundred buds upon it. The tree has been budded two years, and was transplanted last summer. Some years ago persons were saying, "If wheat could only be grown here to some extent, what a blessing it would be to the county. But such a thing is impossible. The rust will kill it, even if it grows well." Nearly every one was deterred from sowing wheat by such talk as this, and the cultivation of this cereal was generally regarded as an experiment attended with much risk. A few persons, however, were not fully satisfied about this, and determined to give wheat a fair trial. Commencing cautiously at first, they only planted a small acreage to this cereal, but the result exceeded their most sanguine expectations. So time passed on. More acres were sown, with still more favorable results, and, as hope revived and confidence increased, wheat gradually worked its way into favor, and came to be regarded as a staple crop. But some fault-finders will say, "even if a good crop of wheat can be produced freight charges are so excessive that all the profits will be absorbed by the railroad company." This is by no means necessary. Whenever there is a large crop of wheat raised in this county, vessels can be chartered and the wheat shipped direct to Europe. And even better than this: flouring mills will soon be erected in Los Angeles and wheat can be ground into flour here, and then shipped direct to the best markets of the world, and the railroad company and the middle-men of San Francisco thus wholly avoided. We have taken some pains to converse with wheat growers upon this subject, and cherry, apricot, and many other will soon set out 1,000 local trees, and many varieties as raspberries, blackberry gooseberries, currants, etc. to line the frontage of terey cypress, and lay our gardens, grassy lawns, and front and around the grounds are improved and liking, he will have one oak and attractive places in the Westminster.

Mr. Fred. W. Athearn has received his commission as agent of the California Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Association, one of the most substantial insurance companies in the State. Considerable excitement exists in Los Nietos on account of the small-pox. One case, Mrs. Forest, died from it on the 11th. One of her children is now convalescing from the disease, while her husband is lying very low. The disease was brought into the valley by a family which recently moved in from Arizona, all the members of which have had it. The Gazette Office desires to return thanks to Mr. H. S. Austin for cleaning away the weeds and fixing the sidewalk in front of the printing office. While we appreciate the kindness, we had much rather that the path to our office would be worn smooth by the hurrying feet of delinquent subscribers, hastening to gladden the hearts and fill the pockets of the impecunious editors, than to be obliged to impose upon the good nature of the gentleman. A letter from Mr. Louis Wolf, of Temecula, to some parties in this place, states the rumor that "a band of thieves are organizing in Los Angeles county, and intend to go through every country store in San Diego county. Mr. Wolf requests that notices be given to all to be on their guard, and we trust that a second warning will be unnecessary. Let all look to their safety, whether the rumor be true or false."—San Diego News. We are informed an Ukase issued by Lieut-General Kearney was received in this city, a day or two ago, appointing L. E. Page President or Head Centre of all Workingmen's Clubs in Southern California. The document is addressed "To whom it may concern" and states that Mr. Kearney, in order to prevent "broken down politicians, chronic office seekers and shysters" from getting control of Workingmen's Clubs, finds it necessary to issue an order that no branch club will be recognized as legitimate by the Central Club of the State unless organized under the sign manual of L. E. Page. Our informant states that the appointment of Mr. Page to this supreme authority has created no little excitement among the branch clubs already organized and that they do not intend to submit to any such assumption on the part of Lieutenant General Kearney or anybody else.—Herald. Anaheim Literary Society. The Anaheim Literary Society held its regular meeting at Justice Bailey's office on way into labor, and came to be regarded as a staple crop. But some fault-finders will say, "even if a good crop of wheat can be produced freight charges are so excessive that all the profits will be absorbed by the railroad company." This is by no means necessary. Whenever there is a large crop of wheat raised in this county, vessels can be chartered and the wheat shipped direct to Europe. And even better than this: flouring mills will soon be erected in Los Angeles and wheat can be ground into flour here, and then shipped direct to the best markets of the world, and the railroad company and the middle-men of San Francisco thus wholly avoided. We have taken some pains to converse with wheat growers upon this subject, and one of the farmers in this vicinity gave us the following facts. Let him tell his own story: Jan. 7,h,1874, I sowed 250 pounds of Sonora wheat from which were threshed 6,900 lb. of first class grain. The volunteer crop of 1875 was equal in quality but less in quantity. Just after Christmas, 1875, I sowed 30 acres to the same kind of wheat, which yielded more than 16 centsals of the very finest quality per acre. I believe that Sonora wheat sown before January 16th, on any good soil, not badly if the ground is in condition to begin it up within a reasonable time; produce a remunerative crop, when there is sufficient rain to produce a good crop of barley. The supposition that wheat will rust here has cost Los Angeles county hundreds of thousands of dollars. When the conditions are compiled with it, it is sure a crop agarley, but cannage safely be sown as late. Experience may prove that we may trust the sowing later than Jan. 10th, but at present an earlier date is preferable. Sonora wheat has this merit for this locality: It ripens earlier in the season than most other kinds, and has passed the period of risk when the warm weather of early summer sets in. The 25,000 acres sown with wheat this year prove that it is gaining favor as a staple crop, and I think the time is not far distant when every farmer will sow part of his land to wheat. The sooner the better." We laxly paid a visit to Mr. William Schulte, and, while in his garden, were shown some fine Chinese lemon trees. These trees are three years old from the seed, and bore very heavily last year. On one of the trees are over fifty lemons. One of the lemons, measured by us, was 14 inches in circumference. We also noticed a pepper tree, which measures 40 inches in circumference, one foot from the ground, and which has attained a respectable height. The seed from which this tree sprang, was planted 5 years ago. The public school grounds are undergoing improvement. The lot has been plowed and leveled, and trees, kingly donated by citizens of the district, have been set out. Among those trees which have been planted, we noticed pepper, locust, orange, date palm, and cypress. The public school, under the fostering care of Mr. Bush, is prospering finely. We recently visited this institution of learning and were struck with the quiet and orderly appearance of the school. During the last year the pupils have made rapid advancement in their studies, and in their recitations and department the effects of careful and systematic training are plainly visible. Mr. Bush is a conscientious worker in the school-room, and has labored zealously for the best interests of this school. He richly deserves the confidence of the public, and we trust that his energetic and taitiful efforts are fully appreciated by the people of this district. The singing classes which were organized in this district some time ago, by Miss Bush, are still kept up although the attendance is not as full as was anticipated. This excellent lady gives gratuitous instruction to the pupils of the public school in botany, vocal music and calisthenics. In view of her disinterested kindness to the little ones, we think the public should liberally patronize her private singing classes. The Orangetborpe Literary Club held its last meeting at the school house, on the evening of March 8th, as advertised in the Gazette. The programme was only partially carried out, owing to the illness of one of the members and the absence of some others.

He will also take sheep to pasture on shares. Messrs. Goodman & Rimpan announce that they have made a reduction in the price of their goods, and will sell at these reduced rates for the next thirty days. This is done in order to make room for the new Spring stock which Mr. Goodman will shortly purchase in San Francisco. This is a rare chance to get genuine bargains. A meeting of Citizens is called for Friday evening, March 22nd, at which it is proposed to organize a branch of the Workingmens' Party. Thermometrical Record.

The Orangethorpe Literary Club held its last meeting at the school house, on the evening of March 8th, as advertised in the Gazette. The programme was only partially carried out, owing to the illness of one of the members and the absence of some others. Yet the exercises were of sufficient duration and of a pleasing character. The evening's entertainment, consisting of dialogues, declarations, recitations, select readings, and vocal and instrumental music, was highly appreciated by the audience, who testified their approval by frequent rounds of applause. The next meeting of this society will take place on the evening of March 22d, at which time the following programme will be presented: Greeting Song... Motto Club. Recitation... Carrie Smith.

A large vulture was captured at the sheep camp of Mr. Charles Smith, a few days ago. It was evidently fatigued by a very long passage through the upper regions of the atmosphere, and when taken offered but very little resistance. On account of its great size and other characteristics, it is thought by some to be a condor. Passing by the residence of Mr. S. L. Chilson, one day last week, we called and found that gentleman busily engaged in setting out trees. He has recently purchased 2,000 Osage orange trees and 800 northern fruit trees, including apple, peach, plum, pear, A meeting of the Prevention is called for next March 19th, at two o'clock main object of the meeting four ruling elders—be great interest to the church, and it is hoped that a special effort to be made on the time set.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. We see that our State Senate passed a bill last Tuesday, "for the encouragement of forest culture," providing for the payment by the State of five cents for every tree cultivated by a man on his own land continuously for four years—not more than 680 trees to be planted upon an acre. This should and we believe 'will stimulate forest planting. Some time ago we saw that farmers near San Luis Obispo had found growing trees for timber, etc., was far more profitable than any other use for their land. We hope our people will look into this matter and believe careful inquiry and examination will lead many to enter into this too much neglected branch of agriculture. Every one knows with what rapidity the blue gum grows, and its value and there are other trees that, though of slower growth, are not to be overlooked. We mention some of them, finding the descriptions quoted in Bryant's work on "Forest Trees"—one of, if not the best, published. Ailanthus—a large tree reaching the height of 60 to 80 feet. First ten years a very rapid grower, wood hard, fine grained and fitted for cabinet work. Also good fuel, not desirable as an ornamental tree, propagated readily from seed, suckers and root cutting. Catalpa—height 80 to 100 feet, wood light and takes a high polish—very durable and posts still stand in Ill., showing no sign of decay though set forty years ago. In Georgia it is grown for railroad ties, and is termed "undestructible." Easily grown from seed. The various varieties of locusta, Kentucky coffee tree, walnut and Butternut, and there are many others. But this shows that one can go into forest culture and scarcely be limited in variety planted. What a wet time they had at Garden Grove—raining through the roof and all, and filling the inkstand on James' desk! Well, we yield them the palm, being utterly Tustin City Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Everything is lively and every one is busy—some planting trees and some getting their land ready for corn. Mr. McKim will commence planting corn to-morrow. A. D. Stine arrived here last Saturday, from a year's trip to Arizona. He reports good mines, hard times, plenty of work, no pay, and a hard country to live in. I think he will stay at home for some time. Mr. Judson has been up to Oregon hunting for a wet country. He found it, and is satisfied with Southern California. The Western Union Telegraph Company has moved their line from the old San Diego road to the line of the railroad until they strike the county road from Santa Ana to Tustin City, then east on Fourth street in Tustin City until it strikes the old line. This brings it close to the business part of Tustin City. Mr. Adams and Mr. Snow have been planting out a large quantity of orange trees. This locality is well adapted for that kind of fruit, and will in the future be covered with orange groves. Nothing has been done to the school lot yet. It looks bad. I think the Trustees ought to hold a meeting and get the people to take some steps to have it plowed and planted in trees this season. The people are willing; all that is necessary is for the Trustees to say whether it shall be done or not. The Trustees should do something, or hang up their fiddle. They have done nothing for two years; is it to be so one more year? If it is, the people may be thankful it is a short one. We have one of the richest districts in Los Angeles county, and it is a disgrace that things should be as they are. I think the prospect for the sinners of this place is good. We had preaching twice last Sunday—morning and afternoon—and prayer meeting in the evening; and the Methodists have started in for a good old-fashioned protracted meeting, which will last all week. I don't think they ought to let up in one week; stick to 'em until we get a church. I think some society ought to organize a church, and have some foundation to work on. If some individual or society will take the initiative the people will willingly help. The Tustin City Literary Society met last Saturday evening and had a full house. Rev.

Well, we yield them the palm, being utterly unable to chronicle anything of that kind as occurring here. It is only surpassed by James' modesty, when, speaking of Garden Grove crops, he tells what can be seen in a radius of two miles from their store, which limit takes in many Westminster farms—part of ours among the rest, and extends to the Kellogg place near Anaheim. Stick to your limits Con.—I mean James. We are glad to learn the dairy question and cheese making are being agitated by our neighbors, and think if it results in a factory, our people will enter into the scheme with them. Our people were surprised Friday to hear that Mrs. Moffit had died at two o'clock that morning. She was buried Saturday morning in the cemetery. More than ordinary sympathy is felt for the family in view of the peculiarly sad circumstances attending her death. The following letters remain uncalled for in the Westminster Postoffice: Wm.

The churches here had good congregations last Sunday. The hall was full—all the seats occupied, and some were compelled to sit in the vestibule. Our roads are getting pretty good again. The appointment of Samson Edwards as road master, vice Jesse Davis, whose term had expired, gives general satisfaction. P. H. Cullen is painting the hotel. J. Weare has moved his house and chickens on to the island near "Old Joe's." Some of the rank barley is being mowed. Persons who have been holding their corn are commencing to shell, preparatory to shipping it. Some of our people are planting corn and potatoes. More barley is also being sowed.
