The Curative Properties of the Waters—Fine Hotel to be Built—Schools at Artesia. Among the valuables of this county may be mentioned Fulton's Sulphur Wells, situated half way between the cities of Anaheim and Los Angeles, and not far from the Los Angeles and San Diego railroad. They are in an elevated and most beautiful locality, and are surrounded by fertile and irrigable lands. These wells were discovered about 3 years ago, in boring for artesian water, at a depth of 200 feet, and now pour forth an abundance of mineral water, containing valuable medicinal properties, as has been demonstrated by use and chemical analysis. The effect of this water on the system is remarkable, as it is a tonic, aperient, diuretic, diaphoretic and a most powerful alterative. Hence its beneficial effects in all entaneous affections, kidney and liver complaints, scrofaula and that class of diseases. And the super-abundance of carbonic acid gas, which it contains, combined with iron, makes it invaluable in gastro-intestinal diseases. Subjected to analytical test, it shows a predominance in white sulphur, containing also a large amount of sulphurated hydrogen and carbonic acid gases, with a considerable quantity of the bicarbonates of iron and magnesia. The following table shows a correct and complete analysis of the water. In 251 cubic inches of water, there are the quantities of mineral matter stated below: grains Dicarbonate of Soda.....2.20 " " Magnesium.....16.5 " " Lithium.....12.60 " " Iron.....13.00 Chloride of Sodium.....10.40 Sulphate of Sodium.....90 Sulphur.....23.00 Total.....78.00 As will be seen upon examination, the above compound is a very rare and valuable combination. It is especially efficacious in cure all forms and types of malarial diseases. During the last year, many persons whose systems had been completely demoralized and shattered by that terrifying enervating disease known as the Bakersfield fever, were completely restored to health by the use of this water. One superiority, which these wells possess over mineral springs, is the fact that the water, coming from such a great depth, is heavily charged with gas which holds the mineral matter in solution, the gas having no chance to escape through the iron pipe until it reaches the surface. Thus no part of the mineral is precipitated, and the patients who bathe in the healing Orangethai REGULAR CORRESPONDS.

The bill passed both houses, has been signed by the Governor, and is now a law. —A letter from Hon. Asa Ellis was received by Mr. Theo. Rimpau on Wednesday. He promised to forward a certified copy of the bill providing for the building of a school house, in a few days. —Captain Allen has been sentenced to one year in the State Prison, for the crime of forgery. He will be remembered as the individual who came the contidence dodge over some of our innocent townsmen. —Mr. C. Bennnerscheidt will open his new saloon on Centre street to day. The place has been fitted up in splendid style and beer will be sold at five cents per glass. A splendid lunch will be served during the day and evening. —A Los Angeles paper states that the genuine Smyrna fig of commerce has been introduced at Pasadena where it is almost perpetually in fruit. Last year it fruited from June to January, and this year has already started fruiting, and will probably ripen from May-day to Christmas. —The twenty-sixth anniversary of the introduction of Old Fellowship into the United States will be celebrated by the Anaheim Lodges on the 26th of April. Although the arrangements for the proposed celebration are not yet perfected, it is thought that the proceedings will consist in part of a procession and picnic at some point contiguous to town. —The Grand Jury for the March term was in session eight days. They found 25 true bills and ignored 15 charges. The true bills found were as follows: Embezzlement, 6; grand larceny, 6; assault with intent to murder, 1; writing a threatening letter to obtain money, 1; burglary, 4; forgery, 1; receiving stolen goods, knowing them to be stolen, 1; snurder, 1; conspiracy, 15-persuading material witness away, 1; arson, 2. —Our neighborhood has received an acquisition in the person of Mr. Gelwicks, a brother-in-law of Mr. Shanklin, President of the Cajon Irrigation Company. Mr. Gelwicks was State Printer for four years during the Haight administration, and since then has been connected with the press in various parts of the State. But now he has dropped the editorial pen for the ploughshare, and instead of harrowing the feelings of the reading public he will perform that agricultural operation on the bosom of Mother Earth. He will put in a crop of corn on Mr. Shanklin's land north of town. —There came near being another romantic wedding on the briny deep, at Newport Harbor, last Sunday. All that prevented was that the young gent had failed to procure the necessary license, and in consequence of mild neglect, the Justice—who had made a compound is a very rare and valuable companion. It is especially efficacious in cure all forms and types of malarial diseases. During the last year, many persons, whose systems had been completely demoralized and shattered by that terribly enervating disease known as the Bakerfield fever, were completely restored to health by the use of this water. One superiority, which these wells possess over mineral springs, is the fact that the water coming from such a great depth, is heavily charged with gas which holds the mineral matter in solution, the gas having no chance to escape through the iron pipe until it reaches the surface. Thus no part of the mineral is precipitated, and the patients who bathe in the healing waters have the full benefit of this wonderful medicine manufactured in Nature's own laboratory. Dr. Fulton has already erected a comfortable bathhouse containing 8 well arranged bathrooms, where invalids can have warm, cold, or shower baths, as they may prefer, or their amenities may require. He has laid out 60 acres in villa lots, containing one half acre each, reserving a portion of the tract for a park and pleasure ground which will be ornamented and adorned. Through these grounds run wide streets and broad avenues which will be lined with handsome trees, affording pleasant walks and delightful drives. The pleasure grounds will be beautifully diversified by fountains, shrubbery, lawns and beds of blooming flowers. Dr. Fulton will soon erect an elegant and costly hotel, which will accommodate 50 or 60 guests. The plan of this hotel is a fine one, and if built accordingly, can not fail to be admired. When the Doctor has carried out the improvements which he has projected, Fulton's Sulphur Wells will be a most delightful place to visit, either for the purpose of health or pleasure. The surrounding country is dotted with well-tilled farms and thrifty orchards, but there yet remains a considerable body of land which is unencultivated. The Santa Gertrules Land Association have 3000 acres which they offer to purchasers at very moderate rates. The whole tract can be bought for $15 per acre. The soil is good and surface water is abundant, while it has recently been demonstrated by Mr. Creel, the enterprising well-borer, that artesian water can readily be obtained on the mesa lands at a depth of a few hundred feet. The crops in this vicinity look splendidly although some of the barley has lodged and will have to be cut for hay. Farming has been extensively carried on in this locality during the present year. Mr. Blaisdell has 1500 acres in barley and will plant several hundred acres to corn. The schools in this district are in a thriving and prosperous condition. The primary department is taught by Mrs. Mason, who receives a salary of $60 per month. In this room there are 45 pupils enrolled, and the register shows an average daily attendance of 30. The pupils appear to be well instructed and kept in a proper state of discipline. Mrs. Mason is an excellent teacher and her salary should be increased. The higher department is presided over by Miss F. R. Carroll, a teacher of much experience and a lady of fine accomplishments. Her school room is adorned with pictures and paintings, and tastefully decorated with appropriate mottoes. Her school is a model one, and her authority over the youthful subjects of her little kingdom is complete and unquestioned. She displays great tact in governing her pupils, and evinces much skill in imparting instruction. Some specimens of bookkeeping by the older pupils were examined and admired for their faultless execution and correctness of detail. There are 35 pupils enrolled in this room. The average daily attendance is 25. Miss Carroll receives a salary of $90 a month. The school house is an adobe building and very com- the Haight administration, and since then has been connected with the press in various parts of the State. But now he has dropped the editorial pen for the ploughshare, and instead of harrowing the feelings of the reading public he will perform that agricultural operation on the bosom of Mother Earth. He will put in a crop of corn on Mr. Shanklin's land north of town. —There came near being another romantic wedding on the briny deep, at Newport Harbor, last Sunday. All that prevented was that the young gent had failed to procure the necessary license, and in consequence of said neglect the Justice—who had made a long and perilous trip from Santa Ana—would not marry them. We are unable to obtain the names of the different parties but are informed they were from San Bernardino. LATER—Since the above was in type we learn that the parties went to Newport on Tuesday, procured the assistance of a sailor, and in a sail boat crossed the bar, and when about two miles from shore were united in the holy band of wedlock. —Santa Ana Times. —The great moving bazaar of wonders, the Forepaugh Combination, embracing the largest collection of sights worth seeing, that ever made the tour of this country will be here on Tuesday. Every one should see this world renowned circus, menagerie, and museum, all in one. He gives two entertainments here, one in the afternoon and one in the evening and everybody will have an opportunity to look upon the "whole world in minature." Fancy will carry you to the jungles of Asia, the deserts of Africa, the plains of Hindostan, and sweep you as by a magic wand through the gulfs and archipelagoes of the whole Eastern continent. The Levant and the Orient are there revealed in rich magnificence. The tropic and the polar zones send in treasures. We take especial pleasure in recommending this mammoth and meritorious combination to the public although this is quite unnecessary on our part, for there is hardly an intelligent person who does not know that Adam Forepaugh has more money invested in his enormous show than any one managerie in the world, and that now, as in the past, his great aggregation is the largest and the finest show on this continent; and notwithstanding "these be the times that try men's souls" in the matter of dollars and cents, we know the people everywhere will joyfully hail the coming of Forepaugh's world famed aggregation, and turn from workshop and farm, from river and lake, from hillside and valley to attend his gigantic consolidation. New Advertisements. Little necessity exists for directing particular attention to the advertisement of Messrs. D. and G. D. Plato, because, like Limburger cheese, it speaks for itself. It may be proper to say, however, that the reductions noted are bona fide, and not announced for the purpose of clap-trap. Inquiry at the store will confirm this statement. The regular annual meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company will be held on the second Saturday in April. Mr. Byron Clark gives notice in another column that he has for sale a large variety of ever-blooming roses. Those desiring fine plants should purchase at home instead of sending to foreign nurseries. Mr. Langenberger has 4,000 orange trees, which he will sell at a very low price. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the Inauguration Ball of the Magnolia Social Club. The members recognize the necessity of launching on the career of clubdom with proper celat, and to that end will spare neither trouble nor expense to give the organization such a send-off as will incline the public to view it with favor. We shall from time to time refer to the arrangements being made for the evening of April 25th. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. In former letters to the Gazette I have written about the splendid climate, mayfifcent scenery, wonderfully fertile soil, and other attractions and advantages of Orangethorpe, but I have something to mention now which fairly elipses them all. Mr. McGregor has two little girls, aged 4 and 6 respectively. The older girl, who is named Jessie, is quite a prodigy. She reads very nicely in McGuffey's Fourth Reader, pronouncing correctly and articulating clearly and distinctly. Although so young she reads with much expression, giving words their proper emphasis and inflection. She spells as well as she reads, and has considerable knowledge of geography and arithmetic. She also writes a very fair hand. Bear in mind that this little girl is but six years of age. The younger girl, whose name is Sadie, reads very well in McGuffey's Third Reader, and spells very accurately. This perhaps sounds incredible, but we have heard with our own ears, and seen with our own eyes, and know what we state to be a fact. Neither of these little girls have ever attended a public school, but have received instruction at home. When the tender years and attainments of these youthful scholars are duly considered, no one will err in pronouncing them very extraordinary children. The large vulture which was captured in this district died, after a week of captivity, from over-feeding. The bird has been skinned and stuffed, and will be presented to the State Normal School. The grain is looking finely. But little barley has lodged, and the prospects for heavy crops are splendid. Mr. McGregor and Mr. Clifford leave here for Montana next week. Mrs. McGregor and the children will spend the summer in Boston. The last meeting of the Orangethorpe Literary Society was a brilliant success. This society has steadily improved from the date of its organization, and bids fair to become permanently established. The evening's entertainment commenced with a fine song by the Motto Club, after which there were recitations, select readings, songs, instrumental music, charades, dialogues, and other exercises. The song, "Poor Old Jesse's Blind," and the Colony Song were finely executed and took well with the audience. The following programme will be presented at the next meeting of the club, which takes place on the evening of April 5th: Calisthenics ... By the School. Declamation ... J. G. Goodhue. Evening. Communion will be observed Sabuth morning. Mr. Hight, who recently came here from Canada, has purchased Mr. Hutchins' place near Anaheim. E. L. Goldy has sold 30 acres of his chicken ranch to John Edwards for $400. He reserves the 2½ acres his mansion and hen houses are on. H. W. Rankin, who has been spending several months with W. F. Poor, has left here, much improved in health, for the East. A. Lyman has returned from Santa Clara county. J. T. Westminster, March 28, 1878. Santa Ana Items. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. As "Bion" seems to have abandoned you and Santa Ana both, as correspondent from this place, I will, if agreeable, furnish you with a few items occasionally. A passage in the Herald referring to bill 319, betrayed ignorance of what the bill referred to. I will enlighten the Herald on that subject. Some time ago a Star-chamber meeting took place among some of the school trustees and their friends and they went into labor, and brought forth offspring in the shape of a $5,000 bond bill, which was to be sent to the legislature to be enacted into a law. It leaked out, however, to the ears of the people, and they united in a protest against its passage, nine-tenths or more signing the remonstrance. This defeated the measure in the shape in which it was sent up, and our representatives notified the Star chamber committee that it could not pass in that shape. Since then the bond men have been telegraphing and writing to the Los Angeles delegation in regard to the matter urging action in regard to passing the bill, notwithstanding that the people were almost unanimous in their opposition to its passage. They succeeded in finding one tool in the delegation, who consented to introduce the bill in the Assembly. It was accordingly introduced as bill 319, amended, so as to call for $3,000 instead of $5,000. There has been considerable talk in this district on account of the general management of our school affairs, and not without cause. How it will terminate cannot now be determined. Late advises point to the fact that our Senator is not so pliable a tool as one of the Assemblymen. Hung Kee and his brother are having a dispute in regard to their financial relations, and consequently little business in the wash line is being done, by them. This fact renders Cong Yik Woo happy. One hundred and twenty-two signers have Christians have done much good. They have arused a good Christian feeling among the citizens, and without doubt will succeed in organizing a church, and take steps toward the erection of a building. We learn that Mr. French has completed a good road from the San Joquin house to the Santiago canyon. The people of Tustin City who desire to spend May-Day in the canyon will find the new road a great convenience. Mr. Thims has finished a new cottage on his place, bought of Mr. Cameron. He will get his water from the Tustin City Water Works. There is some talk of making a road from this place to Rocky Point on the east side of Newport Bay. Rocky Point is considered one of the best places for bathing on the coast, and pleasure seekers can have their boat rides without danger from wind or surf, and at low tide can gather clams and small rock oysters. It will be a pleasant camping place when the road is completed. We notice by the Gazette that the citizens of Orangethorpe school district had enterprise enough to plow and plant trees on the school lot. This is a Christian act, and shows that they desire to make their children happy and comfortable and make the school-house pleasant and attractive. Our school lot is a disgrace to the place, and every citizen should be ashamed of it. If we would all turn out and work, it might be pledged and planted in trees in one day. Our School Trustees here are as easy as "old shoes." They are as independent as "fogs on ice," and as happy as "June bugs on a potato vine." However, in a few weeks the school house will be entirely hidden by weeds, and when strangers come they will think the school lot is an immense mound covered with weeds and flowers. It commenced raining about ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, and rained very steadily until four o'clock in the afternoon. The ground received a good soaking. The rain is bad on the early grain.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. A congregational meeting of the Presbyterian church was held last Saturday afternoon; Rev S. B. King in the chair, A. L. Taylor, Secretary. The first business—the main business—of the meeting was the eliciting of four ruling elders. And, after an earnest prayer offered by J. Marquis, balloting commenced, resulting on the first ballot in the re-election, for the two years term, of Messrs. Josiah McCoy and W. J. Patterson. For the three years term, Messrs. J. H. Fleming and T. Alward were elected. The committee on plans, appointed Dec. 22nd, then, through their chairman, made their report, which was accepted and they charged. The idea for inner arrangements of a church, as embodied in plans submitted by Rev J. M. Allis, of San Francisco, were adopted. In this plan, by a series of folding doors, the size of the room can be suited to the number present. The exterior plans, style of building, etc., was left to a building committee of five, with "full powers." Rev J. Marquis, and Messrs. Lyons, Patterson Lyman and Torrey were appointed. This committee were instructed to get full detailed plans and specifications; to, as soon as the specifications were received showing the amount of material needed, and if sufficient funds were at hand to pay for it, buy the lumber and have it stacked here to season. Also to have the building enclosed as soon as they think sums paid and amounts subscribed warrant it; that if funds are not then provided for finishing the building, work to cease until such funds are provided. From the commencement of the building through to its final completion the "pay as you go" principle will be observed, and no debt incurred which a way is not seen to meet. The ladies' social have collected quite a sum during the past year, of which they offer to pay Rev R. Strong, Treasurer of the building fund, $500—to be used in purchasing lumber as soon as a like sum has been paid from other sources and for the same purpose. As $250 of the needed $500 is now provided for, The delegation, who consented to introduce the bill in the Assembly, It was accordingly introduced as bill 319, amended, so as to call for $3,000 instead of $5,000. There has been considerable talk in this district on account of the general management of our school affairs, and not without cause. How it will terminate cannot now be determined. Late advice point to the fact that our Senator is not so pliable a tool as one of the Assembliesmen. Hung Kee and his brother are having dispute in regard to their financial relations, and consequently little business in the wash line is being done by them. This fact renders Cong Yik Woo happy. One hundred and twenty-two signers have been obtained to the petition in favor of town incorporation, which represents four-fifths of the citizens and tax-payers in the proposed town limits; but as the session of the legislature is nearing its close, there will probably be nothing more done in regard to the matter at this time, although a large majority of our people are in favor of it. Mr. Cheney has made great improvements in his bowling alley. The saloon men are not jubilant over the change made recently in the News, but the Reverend Bros do not seem to mind it much. I believe that they object to some remarks indulged in by Mr. Featherstun in regard to them in one of his sermons. Dr. Bailey informs me that he has entered the Times' office. He did not state in what capacity. The Santa Ana Hotel changes hands on the first instant, Mr. Beck retiring from and Mr. James Layman succeeding to its management. A well constructed hotel building is the greatest want felt by Santa Ana at the present time. Charlie Benson and Mrs. Wilkin are running well conducted private boarding houses, the former on Main and the latter on Sycamore street. The Centennial, Weaver and Sanders' houses are all doing a thriving business. Mr. M.A.Peters met will quite an accident some time ago. The blades of a pair of rusty sheep shears accidentally thrust into the joint of his big toe. This will keep him on crutches for some time. Mr.Halladay, since his arrival from the East, has put out in orchard about 1,600 trees of different varieties... Mr.D.Young is also putting out trees and otherwise improving the property which he has lately bought in and near this place. Mr.Saulsbury has bought fifteen acres of land, west of town, from Jacob Ross. Surveyor Healey was in town last week. He expresses the opinion that there has been no floating of ranch lines in order to compass the Black Star coal mine, as is popularly believed. If the lines are continually changed as alleged, it is rumored that Assessor Lockhart will ask an extra appropriation from the Board of Supervisors for the extra assessments he will be compelled to make of the Rancho Lomas de Santiago. Mr.Gildmacher has adopted a plan drawn by a Los Angeles architect, for his projected brick building. It will be 60x80 feet in size. The school committee's report will soon be ready. I have been favored with a sight of a few of the items contained in the report which will be of general interest to all of our citizens. I hereby append a few: "We find by evidence obtained from architects, who bid for the construction of our new school building, that changes were made in the original plans and specifications amounting to several hundred dollars to the district, one item of $400 alone. The district is defrauded of that amount, and the extra amount of other changes cannot be accurately estimated because the latter can only be sold by drunkists." BORN.

ALWARD BROS. & CO Of Westminster, Having just opened a large stock of funds were at hand to pay for it, buy the lumber and have it stacked here to season. Also to have the building enclosed as soon as they think sums paid and amounts subscribed warrant it; that if funds are not then provided for finishing the building, work to cease until such funds are provided. From the commencement of the building through to its final completion the "pay as you go" principle will be observed, and no debt incurred which a way is not seen to meet. The ladies' social have collected quite a sum during the past year, of which they offer to pay Rev R. Strong, Treasurer of the building fund, $500—to be used in purchasing lumber as soon as a like sum has been paid from other sources and for the same purpose. As $250 of the needed $500 is now provided for, it is to be hoped that all who can come forward with liberal cash subscriptions and make the first step, buying the material, an easy one. That accomplished the rest will be comparatively easy. A soliciting committee, (Messrs. J. McCoy, A. H. Alward, J. F. Sherwood, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Lyons, and Miss Mattie McCoy.) was also appointed, who will next week commence their duties. The plan to be adopted for raising funds has never been tried here. A most hearty vote of thanks was returned to Rev. J. M. Allis for the zeal with which he has entered into our wants, freely giving time, labor, plans and many valuable suggestions. The question of selling the church lot was introduced; the trustees were requested to make inquiry, and learn who had lots containing one acre, on the main street, which they would dispose of for a church site, just where located, terms on which it could be had—they to report at a final meeting. Enough was said to show a desire to have a higher lot and one not on a back street. A vote of thanks was tendered the committee on plans for their efforts. The soliciting committee were requested to proceed immediately with the work. The meeting was well attended, and in every step taken more of harmony was manifested than we have ever seen at any meeting here. A general feeling of hopefulness prevails; every one is sanguine of success. Sabbath morning Mr. King preached an able sermon from the text "My heart is fixed"—theme, fixedness of purpose. After the sermon, Messrs. Fleming and Alward were installed as elders. We had very heavy rain yesterday forenoon and last night 1½ inches; making for the season, 18½ inches, (others claim 20¾.) Considerable barley was heading out and some of it is badly lodged. The Presbytery of Los Angeles convenes here Thursday evening, April 4th, at 7:30. A sermon will be preached by Rev Dr. Phelpa, of Santa Barbara, the retiring moderator. It is uncertain how long the session will be; the exercises during the day will be mainly routine business, but it is expected that there will be preaching every Mr. Gladmacher made his report soon be ready. I have been favored with a sight of a few of the items contained in the report which will be of general interest to all of our citizens. I hereby append a few: "We find by evidence obtained from architects, who bid for the construction of our new school building, that changes were made in the original plans and specifications amounting to several hundred dollars to the district, one item of $400 alone. The district is defrauded of that amount, and the extra amount of other changes cannot be accurately estimated because the latter can only be done by architects. We find that John Evans was the architect and builder and that Messrs. E. F. Greenleaf, G. J. Russell and J. H. Fruit, were trustees of the district at the time these changes were made. Comments by us are unnecessary to show the fraudulent character of this transaction. We find that $800 were borrowed from Mrs. Andrews at the rate of two per cent. per month in August 1876. We also find that there did not accrue to the district that school year, in which it was borrowed, that amount of money, consequently the people of the district do not owe Mrs. Andrews either principle or interest of that amount, but that the borrowers alone are responsible to her. We find that E. F. Greenleaf, G. L. Russell and Thos. Smith were trustees of the Spring School District at that time. It is unnecessary for us to say anything about the exorbitant rate of interest the trustees promised to pay; even admitting for the sake of argument that they had any right under the circumstances to borrow any money in the name of the district. The best counsel obtainable have informed your committee that the loan was negotiated in plain defiance of law and that the district is not responsible." CHEVALIER. Santa Ana, March 27th. Tustin City Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. We took a trip among our neighbor farmers last Monday. They are happy with the prospects of good crops. The wire worm is at work upon the early planted corn. Some of the early corn is up and looking finely. The planting of corn upon the upland will be finished this week. Tustin City Literary Club met in the Hall Saturday evening. The attendance was not large, as the Methodists are still holding protracted meetings in the school house. From what we can learn, the Christians will continue their meetings throughout the entire week. The sinners of this place cannot complain any longer. Undoubtedly the Notice!
