Porter and McClay, of San Fernando, say that the crop of wheat and barley in that valley will average 24 bushels to the acre. Some of the wheat is rusted, but not sufficiently to injure the crop. It is said that some parties are in Los Angeles looking for a proper site, supplied with water power, on which to erect a tannery. We desire to draw their attention to the splendid opportunity offered them by the power created by the Cajon ditch. This locality offers every inducement for such an enterprise, and we doubt not our citizens would do all in their power to help the matter along. The Flanigans on the War Path. "Rich and Rare" was the motto heading the circulars which heralded the arrival of the famous Flanigan Family in their first appearance on this coast. The circulars were finely gotten up and displayed to advantage the skilled workmanship of the house of H. S. Crocker & Co. of San Francisco. The Flanigans were a concert troupe composed of two big Flanigans, the he Flanigan and she Flanigan and nine little Flanigans. The big Flanigans were directors and managers, and the little Flanigans were musicians and stockholders. They performed solos, duets, trios, kindergarten melodies, selections from the grand opasas of Tovatore, Lucia de Lammermoor, Lucretia Borgia Norma, Bohemian girl, Martha, Der Freischnetz, Yankee Doodle, Love among the roses, and Sheo Fly. The big Flanigans ranged all the way from forty years to a very uncertain age, and the little Flanigans ranged from two to sixteen years of age. In order to be excessively high toned they gave their performance on Monday night at Magnolia Hall. All the high toned performances take place at the Magnolia Hall. It is a high toned place. The Flanigans paraded the streets in a coach and discoursed their horrible discords which convinced the denizens of the town that if they wanted to hear a fine musical entertainment they had better save their money and go to the Los Angeles Jubilee. The majority of the people took the hint and the attendance at the concert was small. The big Flanigan was disconsolate and disgusted and when our worthy Marshal called upon him and profered the information that the Town Trustees were an impeccable and mercenary set of cusses who were in the habit of demanding five dollars from every troupe which came into town, he was mad. He refused to give up any such sum, asserting that he had much rather spent his money for whiskey and proved his assertion by so doing. The Marshal was anxious to collect, not that he wanted his little perquisite, but the dignity of the corporation must be preserved. The Marshal pleaded and Flanigan was obdurate. He threatened and Flanigan stood him off and the performance went on and the coffers of the town remained empty. When the show was over The Work of the Convention. The Democratic County Convention to nominate three candidates for the Constitutional Convention met in Los Angeles on Tuesday, S. M. White was chosen President and W. M. McFadden Secretary. The platform adopted and required to be endorsed by candidates may be thus briefly stated: The State to control all non-political corporations within its limits and never to abandon the right to regulate and control fares, freights, etc; discrimination in favor or against any person or locality to be prohibited; monopoly of the soil should be discouraged, and the acquisition and cultivation of small farms encouraged; opposition to Chinese immigration; the public school fund must never be used except for maintaining public schools; simplify the judicial system of the State; the Grand Jury system should be abolished as being a costly Star Chamber proceeding; special legislation to be discouraged; the State to be redistricted once in every five years for legislative purposes. The following candidates were proposed: Gen. V. E. Howard, Col. J. F. Godfrey, A.J. King, Dr. Bush, of Los Angeles; R. Egan, of San Juan Capistrano; Col. W.H. Stephens, of San Gabriel; T. W. Dawson, of Los Nietos. It was decided to elect the candidates by ballot, the candidate having the majority of votes cast to be declared nominated. Col. Stephens received 29 votes on the first ballot and was declared nominated. On the second ballot no choice was had and it was resolved to drop the name of the candidate having the lowest number of votes on each subsequent ballot. On the seventh ballot Col. Godfrey received 29 votes and was declared the nominee. On the next ballot Gen. Howard received 31, Dawson 12, Bush 7, Egan 5, King I. Gen. Howard was unanimously nominated. Before adjourning, the Convention passed a resolution endorsing the ticket nominated by the Democratic Convention of the first Congressional District. Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, June 3d, 1878. E. Stockton allowed $50 for transportation of Mrs. Stewart to St. Louis, Missouri. On motion of Supervisor Morton the allowance of $10 per month to N.W.

The Marshal was anxious to collect, not that he wanted his little perquisite, but the dignity of the corporation must be preserved. The Marshal pleaded and Flanigan was obdurate. He threatened and Flanigan stood him off and the performance went on and the coffers of the town remained empty. When the show was over the Marshal proceeded to seize the instruments and wardrobe of the company. The big Flanigan resisted and the little Flanigans assisted. They attempted to lock up the Marshal in one of the dressing rooms. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Marshal got angry. He pulled his six-shooter and, as our old friend, the Stage man would express it, "he went for that concert troupe like eternal wrath." One officer among so many Flanigans was like Gulliver among the Lilliputians, he was powerless. He called for help and the valiant night watchman appeared on the scene. Bohn's club is a match for any concert troupe on top of earth, and in a very few moments Mr. Flanigan was lodged in the town jail and carefully locked in so that dogs could not bite him. He was meek and lowly when he appeared before Justice Bailey yesterday morning and his pitiful plea was "Guilty but Drunk." The Judge has a sympathetic nature and so he remanded the head of the Flanigan family to jail while he picked his teeth and thought the matter over, and upon the prisoner's reappearance at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, politely informed him that he could consider his room at the jail engaged for the next ten days and that the town of Anaheim would furnish him food and gentle exercise under the supervision of the Marshal, during that period. The young Flanigans were allowed to take their instruments, as it was deemed unwise to allow so much torture to remain in town, and they left for fields and pastures new.

Lamb was allowed $15 per month for office rent from June 1, 1878. TUESDAY, June 4. O. P. Passions appointed Water Commissioner for Los Nietos township vice T. J. Kerns, who failed to qualify. On motion of Supervisor Prager the map of hospital grounds and poor farm was approved and ordered recorded. In the matter of petition to change Trabuco road. Referred to Supervisor Ott to report at next meeting. The District Attorney was requested to stop all proceedings in in the above matter until further orders from the Board. Wesley Williams was allowed $13 for road work on Santa Ana road. In the matter of report of Superintendent Morton on Norwalk and Puente Mills road, report adopted, retaining road as it is. In the matter of remonstrance against opening road in Norwalk District, referred to Supervisor Morton. WEDNESDAY, June 5. In the matter of the Broad street extension, Anaheim—Action deferred until Supervisor Ott can report. In the matter of allowance of Geo. C. Knox—A. W. Hutton appeared as attorney for Knox, and answered the following questions propounded by Supervisor Prager: First—By what authority was the office of Supt. of Irrigation created? Second—If legally created, what provision is there for expenses incurred? Third—If expenses have been made, for whose benefit have they been made? Fourth—If the expenditure was a legal In common with the rearward Bros. & Co., we repaired retired their merchant will devote their whole time to their bees.

Hickey to M.S.June $200 claim against the county, why have the bills not been presented from time to time as accrued? The following answers were submitted by Mr. Hutton: Ans. 1. The office of County Supt. of Irrigation, in and for the county of Los Angeles, was created by the Act of March 10, 1874, commonly called the "Bush Act." Ans. 2. The office was legally created. The mode prescribed for compensation is that now provided by an Act entitled, "An Act for the relief of Geo. C. Knox," approved March 7, 1878, and to be paid out of the County Treasury, under said last named act. It was also provided by the Bush Act that the Superintendent should be paid a salary, to be fixed by the Board and paid in the same manner as the salary of the District Attorney. Ans. 3. Expenditures have been made for the benefit of the people of this county (Los Angeles), and the Legislature has so declared in ordering the compensation to be fixed and paid out of the County Treasury. Ans. 4. At the time the services were rendered the compensation for services was not a legal claim against the county under the Bush Act. They have, by Act of March 7, 1878, been made a charge against the county, and under that act it is the duty of the Board to fix the compensation at a reasonable amount and order it paid out of the County Treasury. On motion, the matter was referred to the District Attorney, to be reported upon tomorrow. Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Since our last letter we have taken a trip through the Artesia and Downey settlements. On all sides farmers were busily engaged in planting corn and beans. These crops planted earlier, seem very promising, and every one of whom we made inquiry reported a larger acreage than ever before. Potatoes were looking well, but where dug the yield is not so large as usual. This we find to be true wherever we go; Westminator is no exception, and the rule may almost be said to apply to this entire coast. In our travels we noticed that men owning hay presses were putting them in order for the seasons' work, and found they anticipated lively times. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The last meeting of the "Literary" Club was very well attended. Among the audience we noticed persons from Anaheim, Fairview and Centralia. The programme was unusually lengthy but was fully carried out, it lacking but an hour to midnight when the club adjourned. If one might judge by the applause with which each performance was received, the audience evidently regarded the affair as a brilliant one. Spacesforbids nelaborate report, yet we cannot forbear mentioning the exquisitely beautiful solo sung by Miss Ella Mitchell, of Anaheim, who kindly volunteered her services on this occasion. It was generally considered the gem of the evening. Reading and answering the questions found in the query box was a novel feature of the evening's entertainment and contained much amusement. Mr. E. Chilson, who has been sojourning in San Francisco for a short time, paid his father a visit of a few day's duration, while en route to Arizona. His mining prospects are growing more and more brilliant. He reports that at a depth of 90 feet below the surface the miners reached a vein of silver ore 9 feet in width and of exceeding richness. The caterpillars and army worms have made their appearance in this district and are making sad havoc in the corn fields. Mr. Creel is boring an artesian well for Mr. Newton Ingram, with excellent prospects of success. Rev. Dr. Riddick, of Los Nietos, preached to a very fair congregation in the Orangethorpe school house last Sunday. The last meeting of the Centralia "Literary" was rather poorly attended and some of the performances were omitted. A very fine programme has been arranged for the next meeting of the club which takes place on the evening of June 8th. The corn fields in Centralia present a fine appearance. The corn has already reached a good height and is untouched by either caterpillars or worms. There was an election held in Centralia, last Tuesday, for the purpose of voting a tax of $800 for the maintenance of a free school 10 months during the year. We were sorry to hear that the tax was voted down. There were 14 votes cast in all, 6 for the tax and 8 against it. Perhaps it is needless to add that those men who were chiefly instrumental in defeating the tax, are not even public-spirited enough to take their local paper. Corydon. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The man Kearney mentioned in the following telegram was at one time resident of Los Angeles. His widow and two children still reside there: MENDOTA, May 27.-News has reached here of an atrocious murder committed at Arlington, a small town nine miles west of this place, on Sunday. Sam Kearney, a young man who had been refused permission to visit Miss Cullenbine, a young lady of his acquaintance, went to her room last evening and cut her throat with a razor and shot her with a revolver, and being intercepted by Mr. and Mrs. Cullenbine on his way down stairs, shot the father in the hip, cut Mrs. Cullenbine severely with a butcherknife, and rushing out into the yard, drew a razor across his own throat several times, and expired almost instantly. The parents are severely but not fatally hurt. The daughter lived but a few minutes. Kearney has no friends here. His mother and a sister named Mrs. McCoy, are living in California. It is reported that he has a wife and two children in that State. A very singular murder was recently committed at Callian, in the Bombay Presidency. A respectable Bunnya drove out in his bullock cart to collect debts in the neighboring villages. In the afternoon the cart and bullocks returned and stopped at the Bunnya's house. The Bunnya was seated in front with the reins in his hands. His wife and family saw him arrive, and after waiting some time wondered why he did not enter the house. They went out to speak to him and found his dead body tied and the reins fastened to his hands. There were marks of violence on the body which leave no doubt that he was murdered. Victor Berna, James Fogarty and Jedediah Paul, while at work in the Gould and Curry mine, were asphyxiated and killed by heat. Wells, Fargo & Co. The following letters and packages remain uncalled for at Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express: Since our last letter we have taken a trip through the Arkansas and Downey settlements. On all sides farmers were busily engaged in planting corn and beans. These crops, planted earlier, seem very promising, and every one of whom we made inquiry reported a larger acreage than ever before. Potatoes were looking well, but where dug the yield is not so large as usual. This we find to be true wherever we go; Westminster is no exception, and the rule may almost be said to apply to this entire coast. In our travels we noticed that men owning hay presses were putting them in order for the season's work, and found they anticipated lively times. At Downey, mechanics were fitting up threshing machines and everything indicated that a heavy harvest was at hand. One of these threshers will be run by steam. New houses are being erected and arrangements being made for extensive and expensive structures, several of them to be brick. Business seemed to be good at the stores, in all of which large stocks are displayed. While riding past the farms of the Artesia section we noticed about many of the wells large reservoirs, which by the increased head they give, greatly facilitate irrigation; and were led to wonder why the same plan is not generally adopted in this and all places where artesian wells are the sources relied on for irrigation purposes. Your Garden Grove correspondent in his letter which appeared in Saturdays' semi-weekly refers to the damage done to barley by our long continued damp weather. From inquiry we have since made, not only here, but in sections visited and from persons living in other neighborhoods, "James" statements appear only too well founded. Fully half of the men we have asked say the crop will not yield more than if it does half what had been expected. We are sorry to make this statement, but believe it to be true one. The impressions held in Los Angeles and elsewhere of our unlimited yield should be corrected. Judging from indications, more business will be done here this season than ever before. J. H. Steinart, who bought out Alward Bro. & Co. has bought as complete and well assorted stock of dry goods, groceries, clothing, etc., as we have seen in a country store. The stacks of bales, cases trunks and barrels that barred the entrance to the store have been removed; the goods are being arranged and every one is invited to examine them. Read his advertisement which appears in another column. T. C. Hull is still in San Francisco buying for the Cooperative Store. The goods being received, and our acquaintance with Tom satisfy us that he don't intend to be outdone if he can help it. J. & J. A. McFadden have a well selected line of goods, which they are rapidly disposing of. One feature in their business is keeping a wagon on the road to exchange goods for butter, eggs, poultry and other produce. In common with the many friends of Alward Bros. & Co. we regret that they have retired from the mercantile business. They will devote their whole time to caring for their bees. We can wish Mr. Steinart no greater success, in starting in here, than that he may win as many friends and prove as popular as the firm whom he succeeds. Last Saturday we rode to Garden Grove to witness the working of a "Self Binding Harvester" and were surprised at the ease and thoroughness with which it accomplished its mission. When we saw it, it was being worked in one of the worst pieces of lodged grain we have seen. And yet such it cut as clean, if not cleaner, than any mower.

Bovard, a member of the Examining Committee to the Los Angeles Academy, reports that institution to be in a healthy condition. About seventy (70) students were enrolled last year. A class of eight or ten will graduate next year. The closing exercises were very highly satisfactory to the large audience present on that occasion. For thoroughness in all the branches the committee on examination are said to be well convinced. We commend this institution to all who are looking out for a good academic course. The Mexicans are indulging in their old habit of stealing horses. Three were lately taken from this place. Prof. Hall lost a fine young bay mare, good to work and a very fine saddle horse, Mr. Hodges lost a work horse, and Dr. Hayward parted with a fine mare. No trace or clue to them have been found as yet. Mr. Northcross has returned from Santa Barbara where he has been visiting some friends. The army worms have weakened in their undertaking of destroying growing crops and vineyards. Instead of increasing as we expected, they are rapidly disappearing. The following letters remain in the postoffice: Mary Young, Freel L.

Obliging zanjero deals out to all that are thirsty, one hundred inches, miners measurement, for the exceeding low prices of twenty cent per hour for day time and ten cents per hour for night water. Miss Lettie Bowers has returned home from the State Normal School at San Jose to spend her vacation. There is a paper in circulation now for the purpose of forming a society to stop the midnight borrowing of horses. Mr Barbour lost two bay mares, and supposing they were stolen offered $20 reward for information leading to recovery of the same, which led to a lawsuit. The horses were found in Ross pasture. While the finder was gone to give information, another individual came and paid pasturage,took the horses and chuckled to himself as he thought of reward.The lawsuit comes from the wording of the advertisement, as it read "The first information" was to receive the reward,and not the one who hurried in behind No.I.land paying damages，thought to procure reward.

Attention! Attention! In common with the many friends of Alward Bros. & Co. we regret that they have retired from the mercantile business. They will devote their whole time to caring for their bees. We can wish Mr. Steinart no greater success, in starting in here, than that he may win as many friends and prove as popular as the firm whom he succeeds. Last Saturday we rode to Garden Grove to witness the working of a "Self Binding Harvester" and were surprised at the ease and thoroughness with which it accomplished its mission. When we saw it, it was being worked in one of the worst pieces of lodged grain we have seen. And yet such it cut as clean, if not cleaner, than any mower. We have reliable information that potatoes shipped from here to San Francisco have netted the producer 3 cts. per pound. Cut worms do not, so far as we hear, appear in any number here. Charlie Trunel objects to the name you gave him last week—Trumul. We did not say he was a mule. Carey & Sons have started their header. One-eightinch rain Friday night and Saturday morning. 22 11-16 inches for the season. A move is being inaugurated to change the time of our annual re-union to September 15, instead of January 1st, and make it a fair and re-union too. That some such change should be made we have felt and urged—but we should think a better showing of fruit and produce could be made a little later. The change as proposed will be gratifying to the annualist. Why is it that in a corn producing country meal is higher than flour, though the latter is shipped down from San Francisco? was a question propounded to us by a gentleman from the East. J. H. Steinart will at once build a new brick store 20x80, and will use the old building for storage. His family will arrive in a few days and occupy the Robb house. L. P. F. Waller of San Francisco, special agent of the "Equitable Life Assurance Society of the U.S." is visiting a boyhood companion here and talking insurance. He is working up agencies in this county. Your people will probably see him. He represents a corporation that is too well known to need any complimentary notices at our hands. J. T. June 6th 1878. Real Estate Transfers. A.

There was great wailing and gnashing of teeth among "leading" Democrats when they found that a "bloody Hinglishman"—unnaturalized at that—had beaten them in their own den. It is the heaviest blow that those Democratic roosters could have received. The Army worm has passed away, and the next thing in order is a hot wind from the desert, commonly called a "Santa Ana." Superintendent of Schools W. P. McDonald, is down here at the present time, and is creating quite a rattling among the fossil remains of some of the ex-trustees, as well as among the dry bones of the present Board. As he was pledged before the election to see the laws enforced during his administration, his action in regard to certain matters will be watched with interest by the law-abiding citizens of the district. Dr. Crane passed through here last Thursday, on his way to San Francisco. He will make a visit to some friends and relatives there, of some months. The tin wedding of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Lewis was celebrated last Tuesday evening, and the crystal wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wilkin on Wednesday night. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all who participated therein. The supply of tin and glass ware brought by the friends was so great that the housewives are at a loss where to stow all of it. June 7th. Thermometrical Record.
