Santa Ana Items. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Our School Trustees imitate the Kearneyites of San Francisco. The president of some of their clubs are foreign born and unnaturalized. Their presiding officer at the whitewash meeting was foreign-born and unnaturalized. "To such dire straits," etc. The croakers are now at a loss what to say. The late rain was a god-send to them, but since the barley has straightened up and a full crop is assured of that cereal, they now say that they are afraid that the rain will hurt the late planted orchards! Nothing short of a scorching Santa Ana wind will set them in full blast again, however. Spring School District is now blessed with but one trustee; the others have resigned or moved away. The vacancies will be filled in June, we suppose. It is rumored that San Francisco grain dealers contemplate shipping barlev from that burg to Santa Ana, as it is worth from forty to fifty cents on the hundred more here than there, according to our local market reports—"revised and corrected every week." Our Santa Ana poet or bard announces the important fact that "A vavice cannot dwell In the vanita of hell." Of course he doesn't believe there is any such place, or he would not make such a rash assertion. Mr. Gleason says that he doesn't know how the funds, that were drawn for school districts that never had any existence, can be adjusted. Who can solve the conundrum? We give it up. Mr. James McFadden has returned from San Francisco seriously ill. The "off ox" informed me the other that he was still around. Dr. Tanner, from Susanville, has located here. Mr. J. Seely the new mail contractor, who succeeds the Coast Line Stage Co., was in Santa Ana last week. The following is the cheekiest thing I have heard of for some time. Mr. Young, from Iowa, recently had his safe shipped to this point. It arrived with some of the wheels broken off. He demanded it in good condition, but was informed that it would take a couple of months for the case to get through the red tape circumlocution office of the company before the matter could be adjusted and settled; in the meantime, if he left it at the depot until repaired or the matter considered and settled, he would have to pay storage!

Mr. Jos Young. It is with regret we announce that our esteemed correspondent, F. E. Webber, better known as "Corydon," has been seriously ill for the past week, and unable to write a line. We earnestly hope that he will speedily recover his health. Tomales has a cheese factory, which is running in splendid style. Eighty to one hundred and fifty cheeses are being shipped tri-weekly, the prices ranging first quality. We soon hope to chronicle the daily shipment of cheeses from the Garden Grove factory. A correspondent of the Herald, writing from Spadra, says: Now that the rains seem to be over, it is found that the injury to grain by the late rains was greatly exaggerated. In fact there was very little indeed of the grain that was knocked down that has not already risen sufficient for heading. The following named gentlemen have been suggested to represent this county in the Constitutional Convention: Judge Widney, Senator Maclay, General Mansfield, J. De Barth Shorb, Col. Stephens, of San Gabriel Mission; Col. G. C. Gibbs, Judge A. J. King, Judge Lindley, Wm. H. Workman, Wm. H. Spurgeon, Judge Branson, Judge Thompson, Col. Godfrey, James McFadden, General Volney E. Howard, General Stoneman and Major Isaac Kindley. For a further list of candidates see Great Register. In the recent storm the barley near the coast, from Santa Monica to Wilmington, was more seriously lodged than further inland. The planters were greatly discouraged at the appearance of their fallen crops, and for a time they despaired of harvesting them to any advantage. But the late fine weather has again raised the grain, and there is no doubt now that it will have a good stand for cutting when it ripens. There will be very little of the crop lost in the direction of the coast; and that said, we may rely upon the harvesting of almost the whole of it farther inland. —Express. A friend at Orange sends us the following: "Mr. Rowland Bramwell has recently returned to his home place in Orange, after a rapid tour on business and pleasure throughout the middle portion of California, by the way of Sacramento valley to the more northern counties of the State. As a result of the widely extended travels of our Orange friend, and of his late observations of the various degrees of climate, quality of soils, and general productiveness of the sections through which he passed, he is now of the belief that the Orange plain lands are unsurpassed for the production of semi-tropical and northern fruits, and are in every way superior to any of the sections which he visited." Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE Yesterday being May Day, several of our citizens took advantage of the pleasant weather to pass the day at the beach. In the evening several enjoyable parties were The following is the checkiest thing I have heard of for some time. Mr. Young, from Iowa, recently had his safe shipped to this point. It arrived with some of the wheels broken off. He demanded it in good condition, but was informed that it would take a couple of months for the case to get through the red tape circumcision office of the company before the matter could be adjusted and settled; in the meantime, if he left it at the depot until repaired or the matter considered and settled, he would have to pay storage! Hay harvest has commenced in good earnest. One of our livery men informs me that he has been offered one hundred tons in the cock, at two dollars per ton. Mr. Wash Martin, of Garden Grove, is buying up stock cattle and driving them to the foothills on the other side of Tomato springs, on the Serrano Rancho. The many friends of James D. Ott are congratulating him on his recent appointment as supervisor of this district. I have heard no one question his fitness or ability to fill the position. Mr. L. Gildmacher has removed the butcher shop and Judge Straw's office from the site of his projected brick building, around on the east side of West street, opposite his present store. Mr. Berry, now living on the mesa, will soon erect a fine dwelling house on Birch's Addition to Santa Ana. The ground has already been cleared for the purpose. Surveyor Ellis has made the necessary surveys and measurements for Gildmacher's building. Any one at Mr. Leake's store last Saturday night, could have heard a muddled exposition of the Eastern question, from an English standpoint. Mr. J. H. Moesser paid a short visit to the Swamp last week. Mr. C. W. Meecox has nearly surrounded his farm of twenty acres with a lime hedge. Mr. L. Robinson calculates to plow his wheat under, which has been ruined by the rust, and plant the land in corn. Mr. Hilton, the father of E. Hilton, has one of the finest gardens in this section. He does not believe in patronizing Chinamen when everything can be raised so readily and with so little labor in this productive section. Mr. John Wakefield has twenty acres of flax that is looking very fine and is at this writing knee high. It is situated at Burruel's, about six miles north of Santa Ana. Mr. Andrew Mills has 11,000 muscat grape vines on his place in full bearing. It is a noteworthy fact that very few signers have been obtained to the petition circulated by their lobbyist, Gen. Banning, in behalf of the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. The people here are unanimously in favor of the Texas Pacific project, except those in the pay of the former company. Mr. Millard Parker has removed to the mountains in the lately discovered mining district, where he enjoys complete immunity from that most troublesome of all diseases—asthma. I understand that Mr. C. E. French, of the San Joaquin Ranch, has been confined to his room for the last three or four weeks. Col. Tustin is also confined to his bed. Physicians are congratulating themselves that the late wet spell will induce any amount of disease. Great dissatisfaction is expressed at the closing of the county road lately surveyed through the San Joaquin Rancho. I am informed by Supervisor Ott that the matter will be satisfactorily arranged in the people's interest at the next meeting of the Board. Considerable complaint has been made by some of the parties employed to watch for the Dr. Robt Cummin at 5th, for a prolonged heartiest wish his many friends, for field of action.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE Yesterday being May Day, several of our citizens took advantage of the pleasant weather to pass the day at the beach. In the evening several enjoyable parties were given in this neighborhood. One of the finest, if not the best artesian well in our county, was bored a short time ago, and a seven inch pipe inserted, by our enterprising and indefatigable well-borer, Mr. Creal, who with his partner, sunk this well on the mesa, one mile north of Norwalk, for Mr. H. Ranboz, taking all the chances, and supplying him with a perpetual stream of water, which at a distance of eighteen inches above the surface of the ground, flows two inches and furnishes a stream of water with head enough to flow over the top of the pipe at a distance of ten feet above the surface, and one and one-half inches flow, six feet from the ground.

I am informed by Supervisor Ott that the matter will be satisfactorily arranged in the people's interest at the next meeting of the Board. Considerable complaint has been made by some of the parties employed to watch for the dead bodies down on the coast on account of receiving no pay for the same. As it was a public calamity and some of the parties employed are hard working poor men our public spirited citizens who are able, should contribute enough to pay them a reasonable sum for the services rendered. Mr. G. B. Farrar was in town last Saturday. Mr. Hans Buffsky held an auction sale the same day. Owing to the late rains, one of our editor's mustache was badly lodged. The many friends of Mr. Bowden will be glad to learn that he is improving in health in his mountain home above Spadra. Mr. Ryce of Santa Rosa has bought a lot from Mr. N. O. Stafford and is erecting a two-story building thereon, the lower part of which will be used as a grocery and provision store. Mr. A. C. Shaw and his buckboard wagon is of the main features of our streets. Messrs. Williams & Trask have developed a new industry in our town—that of mat making. Their place of business is located in the upper story of the Santa Ana Saloon. Mr. Fruit informs me that the only three progressive things in the country, is the Santa Ana Valley News, the San Francisco Chronicle and President Hayes. Mr. A. F. Brown, of Gospel Swamp, had his right index finger amputated last Friday. He had it hurt about a year ago by a blow accidentally received from a stone. About five weeks ago he ran a fish bone into one of the joints, causing violent inflammation. The two causes combined caused the bones to die, hence the necessity for amputation. Occasionally.

New The Los Angeles coke is cheaper coal.A two-wheelerMr.Grimshawmonthsago.wi15thinst.,ifno of the Coroner and the Deputy Sheriff, went to hold an inquest on the body of an Indian or Mexican that had been found dead by some hunters living in the Canyon, about twenty miles above Orange, at the head of navigation for wheeled vehicles, we found the Messrs. Shrewsbury, Harding and Parker ready to pilot us above the clouds to the point where the dead body had been deposited by the murderers. After many trials and tribulations, the longest four miles you ever saw was finally traversed, and after refreshing ourselves from the contents of our one canteen, we proceeded to inspect the body. It was badly decomposed and the flies and worms had already so disfigured the face as to be unrecognizable, although when first discovered by Messrs. Harding and Parker the features had not been disturbed and they recognized the face as one they were familiar with, and thought it the same one that formerly lived with Mr. Barham. Sheriff Hickey is also of the same opinion. No marks of external violence was discovered on the body of the deceased except that produced by the rope, which was found around the neck in the shape of a slip noose, and was well drawn when discovered by Messrs. Parker and Harding. The most likely theory yet advanced is, that he was garroted somewhere in the valley and carried on horseback where he was found. He had on new overalls and a new fine shirt. A couple of calico shirt patterns with buttons and thread was found near the body. Sheriff Hickey is, at this writing, still on the trail of the horse leading from the body, and the jury impanelled by Judge Humphrey is awaiting his return before rendering a verdict. The jurymen met with a series of accidents on their return from the inquest. Darkness overtook them in the Canyon, when their troubles commenced. First, the nut of the right fore-wheel came off, the wheel following suit, giving them a thorough jolting and a big scar. Luckily they found the nut without much trouble and were soon on their way rejoicing again and discussing the merits of a suspicious looking demijohn which occupied their time and attention fully until they attempted one of the numerous crossings of the raging Santiago creek, where their docile mules undertook so make a road for themselves, and the result was that the wagon was upset and the contents, consisting of jurymen, cold victuals, pipes, basket and demijohn, which was well taken care of by "Bob," who used his thumb for a cork and arose dripping but the demijohn and contents were safe. Without farther trouble, except breaking the top off of the carriage, the party succeeded in regaining Santa Ana in a dilapidated condition and the demijohn didn't need any cork. Dr. Robt Cummings will start Sunday, the 5th, for a prolonged stay in the East. The heartiest wishes are tendered him by his many friends, for his success in his new field of action. Mr. Jos Young, who owns a distillery Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Yesterday—May Day—nearly all our people were away. Large numbers (about 200 persons) from this place, Garden Grove, Artesia, Orange, Santa Ana, etc., visited Bola Chica. A large number gathered at the landing. At both of these places great changes are seen in the beach, the effect of the stormy Winter. Various plans were resorted to to kill time. That most popular, was eating. The landing party availed themselves of the warehouse, where they ate and sat, and sat and ate free from annoyances. Bolsa Chica parties had to put up with sun, wind and drifting sand. We are told a number of empty bottles were seen along the road sides by returning parties. But considering neighboring settlements were represented quite generally this can hardly be wondered at. Some of our young people went up into the Santiago Canyon, and report a large crowd there. We have frequently spoken of our good roads, and it is almost worth anyone's while to come a little out of their way to see these evidences of live and active public spirit on the part of our people. We have yet to meet the first visitor to the place who is not greatly astonished to behold such proofs of active co-operation. Not a single piece of work shows this so thoroughly nor so widely advertises this place, as the neat substantial bridge built over the creek, which every one going to Mr. Strong's crosses. It is a peculiar structure and has caused a great deal of real hard thinking. Those who notice it are aware that it was very quickly made. R. Eccles reports his trip to Arizona a success. A Yuma firm takes their Westminster hams, bacon and lard and sends them to different parts of the territory. The twenty tons of bacon etc., Crowther & Eccles had on band a few weeks since will probably all be sold before July; at the present rate of sale it won't last five weeks. We are glad this firm is meeting with such large success. S. H. Butterfield visited his Westminster friends last week; Saturday he worked up the "blue ribbon" move with considerable success. J. Y. Anderson informs us some one stole a pair of lines and a picket rope from him Friday night and forget to return them. He would like them returned as soon as convenient. There was a "blue ribbon" move in the Methodist Sabbath School on Sunday—forty enrolled. There will probably be public temperance meetings next week; if so notice will be given in the churches Sunday. Alfred Beckett has purchased Mrs. Webber's 40 acres north of John Beckett's.
