The Presbyterian Social met in the hall Tuesday evening, Miss Sarah Patterson in charge. The night was warm and pleasant; and an abundance of ice cream, strawberries and cake having been promised, the attendance was large. The room with its tasty decorations, presented a neat appearance—as is always the case when the ladies arrange it for these monthly gatherings. Neat mottoes, with pictures, adorned the walls. Choice roses, and other flowers, were almost lavishly used in the decorations of the mottoes. The one most prominent was that between the front window, "Faith, Hope, Charity," under which was suspended the picture so generally known as "The Three Graces." As this caught our eyes we could but earnestly wish "The Three Graces" might ever hold full away here, controlling every word, act and thought, uniting all and causing them to seek the good of others. At 9:40 the exercises of the evening commenced with a chorus "Unto the Lord" by Miss Minnie and Rosa Kiefhaber, May and Peggie Craig and Birdie Leffler, with Fred Taylor, J. Willey and Mort. Kiefhaber. Reading by W. H. Marquis. Quartette—"Sweet Vale of Rest," by Mrs. Dr. A. J. Howe, Mrs. Willey, Mrs. Torrey and Mr. Smith. Humorous reading, Mr. S. Layman. Chorus, "Boat Song," Messrs. Kiefhaber and others (as above). Reading "The Evening Star," (a paper just started by this society) by Mrs. Layman, editress for this month. Solo, "Bear it like a Man." James Booth. Declamation, E. L. Goldy. "Evening Song." Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Torrey and Mrs. Willey. This finished the programme, and refreshments were announced; excellent ice cream, delicious strawberries and cake were served to all who wished, and the remaining hours of the evening were spent in lively social chat. Mr. James Booth further favored the audience with two solos "Maid of Athena," and "The Harp that once through Tara's Hall." The evening was voted a success and the ladies fund for the church was increased $33, the profits of the social. It may not be out of place for us to call the ladies' attention to the fact that the late hour they commence the exercises of the evening works against them, in keeping at home those who otherwise would come. The Evening Star merits special attention. The ladies decided to have a paper written and read at their monthly socials, hoping thus to add still deeper interest to these gatherings. To secure variety, and relieve all from the tedious task of continuously conducting the work, there will be a change of part of the State, if serious trouble.

The Spectre Bride more Hall, in San Francisco 7:30 p.m. Mr. H.Rawren, Chad Miss Tiebout and the whole farce parts might have been modified by a tramping of feet during scenes while the mournful audience, and a poet not to speak of them We saw on Thursday a large lot of fine plants just received by Mr. R. Heimann from the Exotic Gardens of Louis Stengel, Los Angeles. We greatly fear that the scoffer will scoff, and the ungodly sneer at the story of Rev. Mr. Muller's sublime faith, as related in another column by Mr. Cook. Dr. Witte, the discoverer of the Black Star coal mine, was in town Thursday. He reports work progressing at the mine. The bee industry in Santiago Canyon is flourishing and the bee raisers generally are rejoicing in the prospect of a good crop of honey. The recent arrival in Los Angeles of young Mr. Heimann is an event upon which his parents are to be congratulated. The youngster is of remarkable size for his age, and like the favorite crony of Tony Weller, he is possessed of are markable "power o' suction." A party of distinguished visitors arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday comprising Mr. J. K. Muir, General Manager of the Canada Southern Railway; Lord Watson, a Scottish Nobleman; Rev. Mr. Pearson, of Detroit, and Col. George Hodges. They came through in a special car of Mr. Muir's road, the Canada Southern. Mr. Hedebrink received very serious injuries on Thursday. He was engaged in cutting mustard with a mowing machine. He got down to clear the knives, which had become clogged with the heavy mustard. A passing team frightened the horses attached to the mower and they started. Mr. Hedebrink was caught in the machinery and his limbs were badly cut. He will probably be a cripple for life. The late rains, fogs, and humidity of the atmosphere generally has had a rather disastrous effect on the wheat crop. We are told that rust has appeared on all the wheat in this section, and that the most of it will be a failure. One exception, however, is to be noted. The wheat sown by the Miles Bros. and by Mr. Gwin shows no signs of rust, and there is every indication that it will mature in a perfect condition. The kind sown by them is the "Odessa wheat," and its superiority over the "Sonora wheat" will probably be fully established this year. Professor Gunning, a scientist of some reputation, has been giving a series of lectures in Los Angeles. His audiences have not been large, which circumstance led the Professor to indulge in several petulant and impertinent remarks on various occasions. On the evening of his last lecture he is reported to have said: "I will only ask that you will forget that I have ever visited you except in a social way; ignore the fact that I have tried to give a series of scientific lectures to you. I will see to it that, after such a reception as I have received, you will not be troubled again very soon by anybody of my profession." The Professor seems to be one heard described with two solos "Maid of Athena," and "The Harp that once through Tara's Hall." The evening was voted a success and the ladies fund for the church was increased $33, the profits of the social. It may not be out of place for us to call the ladies' attention to the fact that the late hour they commence the exercises of the evening works against them, in keeping at home those who otherwise would come. The Evening Star merits special attention. The ladies decided to have a paper written and read at their monthly socials, hoping thus to add still deeper interest to these gatherings. To secure variety, and relieve all from the tedious task of continuously conducting the work, there will be a change of editresses each month. Communications are solicited from all; it is hoped such contributions will be concise and free from personalities—this they must be to secure insertion. From the first number we quote: "Westminster has long felt the want of a good, home, family paper... Remember the next issues will be just what you make them. We feel it would be wasting time to advise—pride for home and home interests fills each heart, and how thankful you will be to us for starting this momentous power that will soon bring in the veritable press and type and we shall have a paper.... There is but one thing lacking to accomplish all this and far more..... We are extravagant enough to think to the music of the blacksmith's hammer, the plowman's g'lang, the school boy's whistle, the voice of sweet birds, shall be added the school bell whose deep tones shall be heard for miles around, warning the students to be in time, and when the cares of the week are laid aside and the day of rest is ours, how sweet to have its quiet broken by the sound of our church bells..... I hope the day is not distant when this shall be accomplished; would it were possible to have it ere the year closes, so we could celebrate it with a grand Halleujah—Peace on earth, good will to man; and a shaking of hands, and cementing of friendship that would be lasting as life—a brotherhood formed to be an honor to Westminster, to the county, and be chronicled in the animals of The Evening Star." After writing the above extracts we fell into a doze and dreamed that all this had come true. The picture was a grand one, and just as we seemed to be fully enjoying it all was dispelled. We awoke to find ourselves in Westminster instead of a modern Eden; and to realize that the millennium had not come. We heartily wish The Evening Star full success—the fullest realization of all it aims to accomplish or help, a long continued, bright and useful journalistic existence. The number from which we quote contained good local hits, amusing selections, conundrums etc., and added greatly to the interest of the audience. As announced in our last, a temperance meeting was held in the Methodist Church last Friday evening. G. C. Mack was chosen Chairman and Josiah McCoy Secretary. Addresses were made by the Chairman, Reva J. A. Van Ana, S. B. King and John Mack, and Messra A. T. Taylor and L. Carey. We are told steps were taken to organize a Temperance Society here, and that this meeting adjourned to meet next week Friday evening to perfect their organization. Many of our good housewives have been enjoying the extreme felicity of preparing small cart loads of edibles for the corn shellers, and have seen their labor in this direction was not in vain. There have probably been more blows struck and more whippings given here during the past two weeks, than ever before in the same length of time. So wide spread was this mania that even in approaching the homes of our most peaceable citizens ones ears were greeted with the sound of blows falling hard and fast. To reprove was use with two solos "Maid of Athena," and "The Harp that once through Tara's Hall." The evening was voted a success and the ladies fund for the church was increased $33, the profits of the social. It may not be out of place for us to call the ladies' attention to the fact that the late hour they commence the exercises of the evening works against them, in keeping at home those who otherwise would come.

Mr. Howard, of the firm of Hunt & Co., blacksmithing and wagon making, has removed his place of business to Santa Ana. His family still remains in Orange. Mr. Howard is one of our best citizens and his many friends in Orange are sorry to have him move away. The Literary Society met at the hotel on the evening of May 8th. On account of the rehearsal for the Santa Ana Sycamore Hall Literary drama entertainment, alias Bovard Benefit, we are informed that only a few were present. Rev. Messenger was not prepared and "Mickey Mouldon" was read by Rev. Bovard. The committee reported on "Constitution By-Laws." On motion the report was laid on the table for two weeks. Several names were proposed for membership—Mr. Gardener, Miss Anna Wilson and others. What cheers us most is to hear of the programme for the next meeting, May 22, viz., Strawberries and supper for the "benefit" of the Orange Literary Society. Miss Minnie Joslyn and Mrs. Lockhart deliberated and evolved that idea, and on account of an uncommon weakness of your correspondent for those delectables spoken of and set forth in the said programme, the society will see him present. It is a good suggestion to change the order of exercises once in awhile, and we fully expect this to be an enjoyable affair. Cooks and strawberry patches take notice, and let us have a good time. Remember at the hotel, May 22nd, strawberries and literary entertainment. The Spectre Bridegroom etc., at the Sycamore Hall, in Santa Ana, came off May 10, 7:30 p.m. Mr. Hall, the ghost, Heathman, R. Warren, Chas, Wright, Thos. Hulse, Miss Tiebout and others, the persona. On the whole the farce was well rendered. Some parts might have been better committed and the language in several places should have been modified by all means. The unmereful tramping of feet during the intervals between scenes while the music was playing was not only burdensome but an outrage on the audience, and a positive insult to good order, not to speak of the disrespect to the musicians. Previous to the drama, Mr. G. C. ship and department presented to these pupils who were entitled to them. From Mr. S. Bush, the principal of the school, we obtained the following list of names of pupils who received certificates: Miss Nettle Maccalf, Miss Clara Shulte, Miss Emma Stone, Miss Nellie Beneroft, Miss Minnie Mead, Miss Beatrice Stone, Miss Esther Parker, Miss Jennie Gardiner, Miss Annie Williams, Miss Laura Calloway, Miss May Chilson. A large vulture was captured in this district a few days ago. The bird was quite stupid from over-eating and offered but little resistance. After two days imprisonment it died. The cause of death was unknown, but possibly it may have been in a dying condition when discovered. It has been skinned and stuffed and presented to the State Normal School. The bird measured fully ten feet from tip to tip and weighed about 25 lbs. It was thought by some to be the mate of the vulture which was found some time ago. These birds are very rare and seldom seen in this part of the State. They answer perfectly to the description of the California vulture, found in Tenney's Natural History. According to that author this vulture is the largest bird of prey in North America. They are seldom seen out side of the State, but we have no doubt there are a few in Yuma City and along the bottoms of the Colorado River. Corydon. May 10th, 1878. Thermometrical Record.

Warren, Chas. Wright, Thos. Hulae, Miss Tiebout and others, the persona. On the whole the farce was well rendered. Some parts might have been better committed and the language in several places should have been modified by all means. The unmerciful tramping of feet during the intervals between scenes while the music was playing was not only burdensome but an outrage on the audience, and a positive insult to good order, not to speak of the disrespect to the musicians. Previous to the drama, Mr. G. C. Hall read a selection, entitled, "Father Fill's Collection." Heathman recited "Parrhasius." Robert Warren and Jesse Travis rendered in dialogue form "Lochiel's Warning." Mamie Hayward sang two solos. Very few of the Orange people were present, but quite a good sized audience was in attendance. Mr. Davis and wife were at the hotel last week. They are looking for a home in this country, but nobody will show them an acre of land for sale. There is no livery accommodations, and the result will be that they will pass by the finest part of the country and locate elsewhere. The great trouble is that we have no one to show our country, its possibilities and advantages. Orange landholders are not sufficiently interested in the advancement of the place. By selling the lands at a more reasonable figure and a little more push all our broad acres will soon be in orange trees, and now that the new canal is so near completed, it will be a good time to fill up our community with good citizens. Orange should be more cordial to strangers, it has been suggested. Dr. Maynard has been to Los Angeles looking out for some suitable business in the city. He is greatly improved in health since his arrival in Orange, and speaks highly of our climate for consumptives. That petition being circulated by our Postmaster, N. D. Harwood, to change the mail route will doubtless receive the signature of every person in Orange. There is no just reason why the Orange mail should be carried on to Santa Ana and then be sent back by special contract to Orange. Let us have the mail direct from Anaisheim. The picnic at the ditch camp in Walnut Grove on Saturday May 18, promises to be an enjoyable affair. The water is to be turned into the tunnels. The idea is to make it a basket picnic. Although it is a busy time with our citizens, yet we are of opinion that a large number will be present. It is a joyful day for Orange. The marvelous showing of trees that can be seen in Orange now with the limited amount of water for irrigation, will not compare with what our settlement can produce. Let "new comers" take notice and examine Orange. Its climate and adaptness for semi-tropical fruits have no equal. Mr. A. S. Hamilton will have ready for market on Saturday, one thousand pounds of fine comb-honey, and will probably make 20,000 lbs during the season. S. May 16th, 1878. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The last meeting of the Literary passed off very pleasantly. All things considered, we think it was the finest entertainment which the Society has yet given. The programme was a good one, well arranged, and finely carried out.

The last meeting of the Literary passed off very pleasantly. All things considered, we think it was the finest entertainment which the Society has yet given. The programme was a good one, well arranged, and finely carried out. To describe each performance separately would occupy too large a space in your paper and we can only mention a few of the exercises of the evening. Good music and a profusion of flowers added very much to the attractiveness of the occasion. The opening song by the Singing Club was unusually good. Crowning of the May Queen was the principal feature of the entertainment. Handsome girls dressed in white and adorned with flowers, sweetly sang their songs of May and gracefully brought their floral offerings to their beautiful queen, Miss Clara Shulte. The tableau of the "Flower Girl" by Miss Nellie Bancroft and Mrs. Mead was chaste and beautiful, and the audience highly appreciated the elegant bouquets so freely distributed. We must not forget to mention the essay read by Miss Minnie Mead. The subject—The Seasons—was an old one, but exceedingly well handled, and new ideas evolved and old ones clothed in a new dress. The song "Father, Dear Father: Come Home" closed the exercise. This song was sung by Miss Nellie Bancroft and others in costume, and the pathos of the piece finely brought out. Much credit is due Miss Jennie Bush, to whose good taste, indefatigable energy, and well applied skill, the success of the "Literary" is largely due. Rev. Mr. Mitchell, of Anaheim, delivered a lecture at the Orangethorpe school house one evening last week on the "Catacombs of Rome." The lecture was said to be a very instructive discourse. Mrs. Smith, the mother of the Smith brothers who reside in this place, left for her old home in Missouri this morning. During her two years stay in Orangethorpe she has made many friends by her kindness of heart and amiability of disposition, and her departure is regretted by all. The Orangethorpe public school closed for the summer vacation last Friday, after a prosperous session of 8 months. The closing exercises were very edifying and listened to by the patrons of the school with much interest and pleasure. The recitations in geography were excellent and showed careful drilling. The recitations in various studies were interspersed by declarations and music by the pupils, after which remarks were made to the school by Mr. Alfred Matcall and others, and certificates of good scholar- Cahen Willard, In order to make room for their new stock soon to arrive, have determined to sell their present stock (except groceries) at a great reduction.
