He has gained twenty-two pounds avoiddeposis, in the last two months. Mr. Frank Monahan is having a dwelling built between town and the depot by Messra Schneider & Gratiot. Messra Slaven and Owen are shipping cattle from here to San Francisco by rail. Mr. Kuffel of the Swamp ships 160 head of hogs to-day (May 14) to the same point. The freight on corn from this point has been increased from $275 to $550 per ton. Wm. Robinson's saddle and bridle were stolen from his horse last Sunday night and his horse turned loose. He says that it will not be healthy for the individual that stole them to be caught with them in his possession. A little of Kearney's hemp would render such followers of his scarce. An attempt to commit suicide with a bottle of laudanum, is the latest sensation in Santa Ana. A prompt emetic rid the would-be suicide of the dangerous drug. It is remarkable about this time how the democracy "abhor" republican votes; they were frantically rushing around and begging for them a short time ago. Col. Rushing, Move Wicks W.H. Spurgeon, N.O. Stafford and several others are talked about as candidates for the Constitutional Convention on this side of the river. McPeter's old butcher shop is being converted into a fruit and notion store by that eminent architect, Mr. Grow. That eminent Collector, M.Kremer and the daring fireman, Charlie Miles, were in town last Wednesday. Dibble's brick building is rapidly nearing completion; it contains some of the best appointed offices in the county. McFadden Broos are erecting a number one barn with a brick foundation. Messrs Evans, Murray and Brother Halsel are knocking it up. Some very inquisitive people living in this part of the district are anxious to know why the public documents and books belonging to it, were not turned over to the proper persons instead of to private individuals. But then some people will nose around too much. Hay is selling for $300 per ton over here in the cock. Dr.Jones contemplates making an extended visit to the East in a short time. Orange Itself. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. Northerross is at the pacts to become one of ours. Mr. Louis Buttler has East for a six months stay. Mr.E McGibbon of San mary of Oranges, is in town stay.

We presume any reputable seedsman in San Francisco has the seed for sale. Quite a severe earthquake was felt at 12:33 A.M. of the 22nd. There were three distinct shakes, instantly succeeding one another, causing the windows to rattle sharply. Other portions of this and San Bernardino counties were visited by the temblor. The past few days of sunshine has brightened the hopes and crops of the farmers wonderfully. The prospect a week ago for the wheat crop was very gloomy, but it is now certain that at least half a crop will be harvested. The late sown wheat is untouched by rust. We were shown yesterday the record of an ancient suit in one of the courts of Los Angeles county, in which the action was brought to recover on a promissory note, the conditions of which were that, on failure of payment at maturity, the note should bear interest at the rate of twelve and a half per cent. per day until paid. And people growl now-a-days at being compelled to pay from one and a half to two per cent. per month.—Herald. A dispatch was said to have been received in this city yesterday morning announcing trouble between a force of white workingmen on the Santa Anita Ranch and a gang of Chinaman sent to take their places. Rumer said the white men had got tired of working for one dollar and a half a day and paying five or six dollars of it to Lucky Baldwin for board and lodging. They struck and he imported Chinaman. It is said the Chinamen's tent was fired into on Monday night and one of them killed.—Star. G. M. Hubbard, a former pastor of the Episcopal Church in this place, has renounced Episcopalism and joined the Catholic Church. He has also changed his occupation, and is now a clerk in a hardware store in San Francisco. If the views of the Rev. P. B. Morgan, rector of a Protestant Episcopal Church in Cincinnati, are to be accepted, the religious chasm o'er which Mr. Hubbard has leaped is of no great width. Mr. Morgan announced from his pulpit a few Sundays ago that he had decided to become a Reformed Episcopalian. He read a statement of his reason for the change, the point of which was that the Protestant Episcopal Church is tending toward Roman Catholicism. He said: "I do solemnly affirm that the doctrines and practices peculiar to the Roman Catholic Church are, one and all, save the supremacy and infallibility of the Pope, held, taught and practiced, without let or hindrance, in the so-called Protestant Episcopal Church. Among these reprehensible doctrines may be named the doctrine that tradition is of equal importance with the Bible; that liberty of conscience and the right of private judgment are questionable claims; that in its ministry Dibble's brick building is rapidly hearing completion; it contains some of the best appointed offices in the county. McFadden Brose are erecting a number one barn with a brick foundation. Messrs Evans, Murray and Brother Halsel are knocking it up. Some very inquisitive people living in this part of the district are anxious to know why the public documents and books belonging to it, were not turned over to the proper persons instead of to private individuals. But then people will nose around too much. Hay is selling for $300 per ton over here in the cock. Dr. Jones contemplates making an extended visit to the East in a short time. The Board of Trustees organized last Thursday by electing D. Faulkner as clerk of the Board. A band of San Luis Rey Indians were in town last Friday. Their chief or General as they call him was at their head. His name is Jose Luis Bana. He states that the murdered man found in the mountains some time ago belonged to his tribe, and that his name was Felis Sobonecht, instead of Savania as reported some time ago. They think that he was murdered by two other members of the tribe, named respectively Jose Ca Beritos and Celestino Guasaco. The father and brother of the deceased accompanied the band. Judge Humphreys issued warrants on the information made, and they are now on the track of the suspected parties. It is thought that the formality of judge and jury passing on their guilt or innocence will be dispensed with as soon as found by them. The Rodriguez referred to some time ago states that he started all three of them off together towards the Potrero. Duane Young is building a neat barn on the place he recently bought from James Layman. Joel Parker is the contractor. The firm of Williams & Trak, mat makers, has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr. Williams conducts the business at the old stand on Fourth street. Ack Graham has bought an interest in Turner's bakery establishment. He is building an addition for a residence. Gen. Heathman distinguished himself at the entertainment given by the Orange Literary Society at Sycamore Hall last week. The pionic at the Santa Ana Canyon along the line of the ditch, was well attended. After the water was turned into the ditch the party adjourned to the Walnut Grove, near Mr. Tillman Bush's residence, where all partook of the good things furnished for the occasion. A meeting of the stockholders was held after lunch, where they exchanged views as to the best method of raising money to liquidate the present indebtedness of the company and to raise more funds to put the ditches in good working condition south of the tunnel. The whole subject was finally referred to the Board of Trustees—where it belonged before—and the meeting adjourned. Mr. C. C. Gratiot, who has been studying medicine for the last eighteen months, will soon start for Philadelphia to attend lectures at the Jefferson Medical College. His many friends wish him great success. As a single instance of the way in which the money of the Spring School District has been squandered, we give you the following: The district is charged with seventy-five per cent, more than was paid for Janitor's services. One boy was hired at a certain figure and he sublet the job and had a fine marvin left of seventy-five per cent. Another one—Trustees are supposed to have no interest in contracts, yet they hired their own teams to do work and then drew the orders at any figure they saw fit to allow themselves. Like the Credit Mobilier roosters, they hired themselves at their own prices. The people say it is a success saw the water running so rapidly compared with the old ditch they felt that they not only secured to them, was doubled in actual value canal has cost three times first calculations? It is safe with the benefit has confirmed about noon Mr. A. B. Cliff of the Board of Directors, near the bridge of the course some statements in regard his clear and forecible attained to completed to the tunnels, miles. The Board of Directors sense of the stockholders to putting the old ditch order and the best method cost. Mr. Miller of Riverneer, thought $800 would far as the Santiago riometer's discussion, par Measra Wall, Sallee, others, the whole matter creation of the Directors, and safe thing to do. $46,000, is ten feet bottom, twenty-two feet deep with the uniform inches to the mile, and is tunnels, or where it meets it is estimated that it will 60 heads of water, water both cheap and plausible that much water there price low and that will be flourish. Many thanks and his associate Director energy and sacrifice in against all sorts of disguises couragements. It has no ship, financial skill, persistence and a thousand other good that canal. To Mr. A. B., sight and quiet persistent is probable that some other think they could have cheaper, but it should be there is a great different looking at circumstances ing the responsibility that the canal can't be $46,000. The simple fact thing has been done that every contingency. We Mr. Newmanthe Mr. Miller of Riverside, as others in this same case rendered valuable and sincerely congratulate beautiful valley on their new canal.

GAETTE:—While gracefully acknowledging the compliment paid me by "Corydon" in his last communication to the Anaheim Gazette, I would call attention to the fact, overlooked by him, that all the young people ("both great and small") take an interest and delight in our Literary Club meetings, and in the preparation for them, that I have searched seen equaled by any similar society with which I have been acquainted.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Mr. Northcross is at the hotel. He expects to become one of our citizens. Mr. Louis Battler has returned to the East for a six months stay. Mr. E. McGibbon of San Bernardino, formerly of Orange, is in town for a few days stay. Mrs. Wm. A. McGibbon will go East to her home in N. Y. to remain; she expects to start this week. She will leave many warm friends in Orange and be followed by the sympathy and best wishes of all who know her. It will be remembered that she came here several years ago on account of her husband's health and no doubt his days were lengthened by our climate. He died in Feb. 1878. He was highly respected as a citizen and christian gentleman. Dr. Winters of San Francisco is in town, and is stopping at Mrs. Mallet's. Dr. Adams, recently of Tenn., a brother of Mr. Adams of Orange, arrived here a few days ago, we hope to remain. Dr. Phillips of Kentucky has purchased Victor Young's place south of Mr. Harter's residence. The County Superintendent visited the Orange schools one day last week and we venture to assert that he found them in good condition. The P. M., Mr. N. D. Harwood, says Mr. Joseph Beach showed him some strawberries that measured 4½ inches in circumference. They grew on Mr. Beach's place. The New Canal was honored with a picnic on last Saturday May 18th, at Walnut Grove. Orange was not very largely represented, Tustin and Santa Ana delegations outnumbered Orange—probably two to one. Notwithstanding Orange feels that she "killed the bear" as the books will show. The new canal was complimented by everybody and indeed the enthusiasm was so high that it would have been rather dangerous for anyone to have spoken disrespectfully of it. The people say it is a success and when they saw the water running so smoothly and yet so rapidly compared with the sluggishness of the old ditch they felt that their homes were not only secured to them, but that every acre was doubled in actual value. What if the canal has cost three times as much as the first calculations? It is still cheap compared with the benefit it has conferred on the valley. About noon Mr. A. B. Clark, the President of the Board of Directors, mounted a wagon near the bridge of the county road and made some statements in regard to the finances in his clear and forcible style. The canal is completed to the tunnels, a distance of eight miles. The Board of Directors wanted the sense of the stockholders present in regard to putting the old ditch on the plains in Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDANCE OF THE GAZETTE. Mrs. Elimbeth M. King died at the residence of her son, Rev. Samuel R. King, in this place last Thursday A.M., after a long and painful sickness. She had reached her eighty-second year. The funeral took place Friday afternoons in the Methodist church, which was kindly offered for the occasion. Services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Van Anda, who preached an appropriate sermon from Isaiah 2-10, "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." The church was crowded with sympathizing friends. The Methodist Social met at Mrs. James Booth's last Friday evening. The house was well filled and a very pleasant evening was spent. After reading the minutes of the last meeting by G. M. Crittenden, Secretary and transecting other business, the evening was devoted to general conversation and music, which every one seemed to enjoy. This social meets in the Hall next Tuesday evening, when a choice musical programme will be presented (this is sure to succeed from the fact that James Booth has the matter in charge) and refreshments will be secured to all who wish. At the time we are writing it is undecided whether the Ladies will offer ice cream, or strawberries, or tea, coffee, sandwiches, cakes, etc. The best way to find out will be to go and see; we are sure those who wish the wants of the inner man supplied, will find there an abundance of good things. Every one is invited to attend, and we hope the Hall will be filled. We are told that though T. C. Hull goes to San Francisco for goods, he has chosen this time that he may be present at and participate in the "Grand May Festival," musical exercises to be held in the Mechanics Pavilion, May 28th, 29th and 30th. We can in imagination hear his clear bass rolling out in strong deep tones, adding greatly to the force of that "chorus of 2000 voices." It seems a pity that Mr. M. Whitney, "the greatest living basao," should come to our coast and find he has lost his well earned laurels. If any one can take him down it's Tom, whom we wish success. Were it not that such a team would win for our section too much fame, we would wish Judge Athearn's pure tenor might be one of the voices to be heard above that vast chorus. The mesa south of here is almost a solid field of grain. In every direction is seen wheat, barley, corn, beans and potatoes. We are sorry the wheat is becoming discolored and yet 'tis not so bad as at many other points on the coast, where rust is making sad work. Thus far the trouble on the mesa does not seem like rust; and it is hoped by all and believed by many that when the weather becomes thoroughly settled, warm and dry, the trouble will correct itself. U.S. Marshal Poole paid a visit to the squatters, Monday, which seems to indicate stirring times at hand for the settlers. The troubled by rest, and some of it will be ready for the sickle next week. All the crops are hatching well and the harvest will be fully as large as was anticipated three months ago. Farmers are still planting corn and beans. Potatoes are ripening, all kinds of vegetables are plentiful except string beans and green corn. The U.S. Marshal or his deputy has been in the country south of Garden Grove serving summonses on about three hundred of our fellow citizens who are generally known as "bquatterns." The incident seems to cause them no trouble or dismay as it was expected and desired. A large majority of them prefer to have the matter settled soon definitely, than to live in constant dired of being ejected from their houses. The flies are dreadful in quantity and ferocity this season. Netting for horses are absolutely necessary, and wire screening for doors and windows are in demand. We saw in a San Francisco journal that this is the year for the periodic return of the Asiatic Cholera, and as some believe that an unusual quantity of flies in the spring is an indication of some epidemic disease perhaps we are to have a visit from this plague. We need hardly fear any trouble of this nature here, because of our strong, health-giving sea breeze. New Advertisements. A meeting of stockholders in the Cajon Irrigation Company will be held on Tuesday, June 25th. Messra. Theo Rimpau, R.W Scott and W.M McFadden are candidates for delegates to the County Convention which will be held in Los Angeles on June 4th, to nominate candidates for the Constitutional Convention. Port Wine Marks. Several English surgeons have of late endeavored to remove this disfigurement from the human face, obliterating the mark without scar. In these cases the mark was confined to the right half of the face, and the treatment consisted of scarification by means of parallel incisions the entire thickness of the skin, made by a frozen scalpel, the skin being also frozen by means of the ether spray. The cuts were one sixteenth of an inch apart, and as soon as these were healed a second set of parallel incisions were made obliquely to the direction of the first set, and so on with a series of operations until complete. Perfect success was the result, as the port wine mark gradually faded away, and finally obliterated without leaving a The people say it is a success and when they saw the water running so smoothly and yet so rapidly compared with the sluggishness of the old ditch they felt that their homes were not only secured to them, but that every acre was doubled in actual value. What it the canal has cost three times as much as the first calculations? It is still cheap compared with the benefit has conferred on the valley. About noon Mr. A. B. Clark, the President of the Board of Directors, mounted a wagon near the bridge of the county road and made some statements in regard to the finances in his clear and forecible style. The canal is completed to the tunnels, a distance of eight miles. The Board of Directors wanted the sense of the stockholders present in regard to putting the old ditch on the plains in order and the best method of providing for the coast. Mr. Miller of Riverside, the civil engineer, thought $800 would pay for the work as far as the Santiago river. After a few moments's discussion, participated in by Messrs. Wall, Sallee, Dimmick, Beach and others, the whole matter was left to the discretion of the Directors, which was a wise and safe thing to do. The canal has cost $46,000, is ten feet wide on the bottom, twenty-two feet at the top, four feet deep with the uniform grade of forty-five inches to the mile, and is eight miles to the tunnels, or where it meets the old canals. It is estimated that it will carry from 50 to 60 heads of water, which will make water both cheap and plenty. In order to sell that much water the Board will fix the price low and that will enable all to live and flourish. Many thanks are due Mr. Clark and his associate Directors for their untiring energy and sacrifice in pushing this work against all sorts of disadvantages and discouragements. It has required statesmanship, financial skill, persistence, forbearance and a thousand other good qualities to build that canal. To Mr. A. B. Clark's clear insight and quiet persistency much belongs. It is probable that some of our good citizens think they could have done better and cheaper, but it should be remembered that there is a great difference in standing off looking at circumstances and actually bearing the responsibility. I am of the opinion that the canal can't be let in contract for $46,000. The simple fact is that the best thing has been done that could be done in every contingency. We may also speak of Mr. Newman the foreman and also Mr. Miller of Riverside, the engineer, as well as others in this same connection, who have rendered valuable and faithful labor. We sincerely congratulate the people in this beautiful valley on the completion of the new canal. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. At the last meeting of the "Literary" the excellence of the entertainment was fully kept up. A charade was finely acted, and indeed all the exercises deserved favorable mention. A recitation was delivered in splendid style by Mrs. B. B. Smith, and all the performances were well received by the audience. No one who has a love for the beautiful things of earth can visit Mrs. Bancroft's flower garden without experiencing feelings of pleasure and admiration. The grounds are tastefully laid out, and there is a great variety of choice shrubbery and flowers. In the shady trees overhead innumerable tiny songsters hold continual concert, while on the topmost bough the mocking-bird whistles and sings. Mrs Bancroft is an ardent lover of flowers and possesses an artistic skill in their arrangement, as we know from experience, having been presented by that lady with one of the choicest and most elegant bouquets we ever held in our hands. Mr. John Guinn is a firm believer in the sense of the stockholders present in regard to putting the old ditch on the plains in order and the best method of providing for the coast.

AT THE No one who has a love for the beautiful things of earth can visit Mrs. Bancroft's flower garden without experiencing feelings of pleasure and admiration. The grounds are tastefully laid out, and there is a great variety of choice shrubbery and flowers. In the shady trees overhead innumerable tiny songsters hold continual concert, while on the topmost bough the mocking-bird whistles and sings. Mrs. Bancroft is an ardent lover of flowers and possesses an artistic skill in their arrangement, as we know from experience, having been presented by that lady with one of the choicest and most elegant boquets we ever held in our hands. Mr. John Guinn is a firm believer in the utility of tree-planting. He has recently set out 5,000 blue-gums, 1,000 locusts, and 500 miscellaneous fruit trees. Part of his wheat is rusted, but he has 20 acres, sown early in December, which is untouched by rust and promises well. The trees, shrubbery, and flowers, which were set out in the school grounds some time ago, are looking finely, and their attractive appearance should induce trustees of other school districts to go and do likewise.

That which was early planted and from excessive moisture had a yellow appearance is now fresh and bright green. Fruit prospects continue good and many of our people have had to thin the sets.
