The immense temperance tent arrived here during Friday night, and was "pitched" near the Methodist Church on Saturday morning. During the day men were busily engaged hauling lumber, chairs, and benches, making a platform for speakers and singers, arranging seats and the many details needed to have all in readiness for the opening of the temperance campaign that evening. At an early hour it was evident that Mr. Allen would be greeted with a larger audience than the most hopeful of our people had dared to expect. Conveyances from the entire surrounding section were constantly arriving, with their loads of interested ones, so that when the hour came for commencing the exercises there were not many empty seats before the speaker. But if the attendance at the first meeting was a sirre far more so were the Sabbath audiences; at the morning services there could not have been less than 500 to 600 persons, and among those present we noticed parties from Artosia, Norwalk, Orangethorne, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, Newport, Fountain Valley, Ocean View and Garden Grove. All through the exercises this large audience paid careful attention to everything said, and the majority evinced their interest by returning to the afternoon meeting. It was expected that Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens would address the afternoon meeting, but her appointments were such as to render this impossible. Mr. Allen was listened to with the same deep attention accorded him in the morning. And we are told that in point of size and attentive listening, what has been written of the other meetings is equally applicable to that of Sunday evening. Monday evening, the worst of the seven to muster an audience in a country settlement, and hold their attention, a good house listened carefully to the speaker's sound words, hard facts, and telling illustrations. Tuesday evening Mrs. Stevens addressed the meeting and was greeted with the largest audience attending any of the evening sessions. Every one whom we have heard speak of her address seems wholly carried away with the worthy lady. All that she said was good, and many of her words fell where they will take root and be productive of good when the speaker is far away. Still we qust say, having often heard the lady speak in San Francisco and seem about run out-kind must be beautiful stock he orders from overland by rail, and School election once in five P.M., and to eleven A.M.

Orange REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The last meet Literary Society residents of this area arranged and finely carried out to About seventy applicants for teachers' certificates are in attendance upon the County Board of Examination now in session in Los Angeles. Henry Oliver, of Cahuenga District, in this county, fell from a wagon loaded with hay. The wagon passed over him, breaking his leg. He will recover. Ramon Tapia, a notorious thief and companion of the outlaw Sotelo, was captured on Monday last at Elizabeth Lake by Deputy Sheriff Ceita. At Elizabeth Lake, in this county, a strong Democratic precinct, the polls were not opened at the recent election. They believe in that vicinity that the present constitution is good enough. A fire is raging in the hills about a mile beyond Gravitt's place, in the direction of La Ballona, on the Santa Monica wagon road. It commenced on Gray's place through carelessness and has destroyed nearly all the crops in that vicinity.—Thursday's Star. At the meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 190, I. O. O. F. held on Tuesday evening. the following officers were elected: H. S. Austin, N. G.; W. J. Hill, V. G.; J. J. Hill, R. S.; L. A. Evans, P. S.; P. C. McKinnie, Treasurer. There are more century plants about to blossom in this vicinity than you can shake a stick at. There are two in Mr. Luedke's garden, in close proximity, and it really looks pretty to see their long stalks standing like sentinels before the gateway. At a meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Company held on Tuesday the following officers were elected: J. W. Shanklin, President; R. H. Gilman, Vice-President; W. E. Shanklin, Treasurer; W. M. MoFadden, Secretary; R. H. Gilman, Superintendent of the works, and P. Davis and P. Yorba, Auditing Committee. In Los Angeles on Wednesday a drunken man knocked down a Chinaman, and was put in jail. In the same apartment were three Chinese prisoners, the sight of whom so enraged the noble Caucasian that he laid about him lustily, and one of his kicks dislocated the jaw of one of the Celestials. Remember the Fourth and keep it as it ought to be kept. And in making out your programme, don't forget to include in it the Calico Ball at Magnolia Hall. It bids fair to be a success in point of attendance as it is certain to be in the way of enjoyment. Dan. Gelwicks, formerly State Printer, and his wife are paying our city a visit. Mr. Gelwicks has made a flying trip to Santa Ana, where he has some property interests. Wrong. Mr. Gelwicks is now and has been for some months residing within a few miles of Anaheim. And he has got as nice a "crap" of corn as there is in the county. We have been for some time past in attentive listening, what has been written of the other meetings is equally applicable to that of Sunday evening. Monday evening, the worst of the seven to muster an audience in a country settlement, and hold their attention, a good house listened carefully to the speaker's sound words, hard facts, and telling illustrations. Tuesday evening Mrs. Stevens addressed the meeting and was greeted with the largest audience attending any of the evening sessions. Every one whom we have heard speak of her address seems wholly carried away with the worthy lady. All that she said was good, and many of her words fell where they will take root and be productive of good when the speaker is far away. Still we must say, having often heard the lady speak in San Francisco and elsewhere, that she did not do herself justice here, or begin to speak as she can at times. Last evening and this no services were held. But Friday evening Mrs. Stevens speaks here again Saturday evening, and Sabbath morning, afternoon and evening Sir. Allen will speak. We presume there will be meetings Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, but do not give it as a positive announcement. Notice will be given Sunday. Mrs. Stephens speaks at Newport Saturday and Sunday; Bolsas, Monday and Tuesday; Orange, Wednesday; Anaheim, Thursday and Friday; Artesia,Saturday and Passdena, Sunday. As to the speaking at "Bolsas" (the Sears' school house in our own settlement) Monday and Tuesday evening next, an effort will probably be made to have her speak in the tent here, at least one of those evenings, thus concentrating the work and the people, and gaining larger opportunity for effectiveness. As to what is being accomplished—there is no excitement, no button-holeing and trying by fair means or foul to induce any one to don the blue ribbon; nothing that any one can object to. Still the work is a growing one; and what seems almost strange at this time of the year, in an agricultural community where men, women, boys and teams—everything that can work are busy from dawn till dark, the audiences is a growing one, increasing continually. This one fact speaks more emphatically in Mr. Allen's favor than anything else that we can say. His manner and expressions, and method of carrying on the work might be dwelt on, and yet not the half he said that is shown in the way he gains on the minds of the people. When he first came here the most of our people were warmly in sympathy with him; but some were not. To-day not only have those who at first rallied about him been drawn more and more into the spirit of his meetings, but many who were not in full accord now fully endorse him. The undercurrent of public sentiment here waxes stronger and stronger in favor of temperance, and a large number have on the blue ribbon; and still the work goes on. A cordial invitation is extended to residents of neighboring settlements to attend as many of these meetings as they can. The impression has gone abroad that the large tent will be taken to Santa Ana before the Fourth. This is incorrect. We do not question the fact that our neighbor presents to Mr. Allen a rare field for prosecuting his work, nor that they need his presence there. But they must wait till after the Fourth Westminster will have a grand Fourth of July celebration; the exercises of the fore-noon will be held in the tent, and the people of Artesta, Orangethorpe, Centralia, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin Newport, Fountain Valley, Ocean View, Garden Grove and all of the surrounding country are invited to meet with us. The officers of the day will be Rev.J.A.Van Anda,President; Rev.S.B.King Chaplain; Rev.T.S.Allen, Orator; Dr.A.J.Howe Reader; Mrs.A.T.Taylor,Poetess; Free S.Bowley,Marshal; James Booth, conductor of music.The literary exercises will be good,and Mr.Booth is determined to present one of the best REGULAR CORRESPONDENTS The last meeting Literary Society residents of this area arranged and financed out to the audience.Among cally worthy of M.V.Glasscock,Missie Baneroft,and Smith,Nettie Meadow society has adjudged the third Saturday.

Mr. Gelwicks is now and has been for some months residing within a few miles of Anaheim. And he has got as nice a "crap" of corn as there is in the county. We have been for some time past in possession of important information concerning the affairs of the Black Star coal mine, but have withheld the information by request of the owners until some papers etc., had been signed and recorded. It is probable, however, that the injunction of secrecy will be removed so that we can give the information in our next issue. The following items are taken from the School Marshal's report of Anaheim District: Number of children in the district under 17 years of age, 450; between 5 and 17 years, (the basis upon which the public school fund is apportioned), 345; under 5 years, 105. The number who have attended school during the year is 225. The age at which children are admitted in the public schools of this State is six years. The census includes all over five years of age. This difference accounts for part of the non-attendance reported. The meeting of the Fire Company on Wednesday, was attended by about twenty persons. Much discussion was had in regard to various matters, and it was decided to re-organize the company and incorporate in accordance with the law passed by the last Legislature and published in the Gazette of June 15th. Mears, Fischer, Nagle and Payne were appointed a committee to prepare a constitution and by-laws, and report at a meeting to be held in Judge Bailey's office on next Wednesday evening. It is to be hoped that the attendance will be large, and that those intending to be present will see the propriety of being on hand promptly at 8 o'clock. All persons desiring photographic work will do well to secure it at once at the gallery of Mr. & Mrs. Al Smith, as they propose making but a brief stay in Anaheim. They will be found at the gallery on Los Angeles Street, where by strict endeavor they hope to give satisfaction to all. Good speaking in the mammoth tent at Westminster on the Fourth. Very interesting exercises were held in the Bolsa Grande school house last Thursday evening, at the close of the school year. The programme, consisting of declamations, dialogues, songs and tableaux, was varied, well rendered, and reflected great credit on Dr. and Mrs. Howe who have taught the school during the past year, as well as on the pupils under their charge. The room was very tastily arranged and decorated, and everyone went away pleased; satisfied that the school had never been and never could be in better hands than during the year just closed. The regular annual meeting of the Presbyterian congregation will be held in the hall next week, on Saturday afternoon, July 6th, at 2:30 o'clock. The financial report of the last fiscal year will be presented; a new board of trustees will be elected; and as usual at such times, arrangements will be made for the varied church work during another year. A large and full attendance, promptly on time, is earnestly desired. J. H. Steinart intends to order from San Francisco, next Monday, some Iowa grown Peach Blow potatoes for seed. The potatoes grown about here have greatly deteriorated— seem about run out—and a change of this kind must be beneficial for our crop. The stock he orders from has just been received overland by rail, and is in good order. School election on Saturday. Polls will be open in the Westminster district from one to five P.M., and in the Bolaa from nine to eleven A.M. We are told that J.F. Marquia is a candidate for re-election in the Westminster district; and also that S.Lyman is a candidate. With these two names before them, the people will hardly know which to choose. And in the election of either, the district is sure to have a capable and faithful trustee. Still, all else being equal, it is generally better to retain good men, thoroughly acquainted with every detail of the business than to change off. We do not know who are candidates in the Bolsa district. It is generally stated that wheat grown on the coast is more inclined to rust than that grown further from the ocean. On the mega lands south of here this is demonstrated to be an error. The wheat nearest the ocean—almost on the beach—is bright, plump, heavy and free from rust, while that further from the beach is dark, small kernals and very poor yield. Flies are extremely annoying to stock of all kinds and cause large sores on animals that are not protected from their horrible ravages. Saturday, Sunday and Monday the mercury became ambitions, and climbed into the heights. To-day the weather is very warm. The effect of this change is seen in the very rapid growth corn, potatoes, beans, etc., are now making, being unprecedented. Various parties are arranging for or have started on their annual camping expedition to the mountains. G.M.Crittenden lost his large, valuable three-year old tilly yesterday; cause of death unknown. June 27th, 1878. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The last meeting of the Orangethorpe Literary Society was very well attended by residents of this and other districts. A well arranged and finely-executed programme was carried out to the entire satisfaction of the community at the performances capo- ORDINANCE NO. VI. An Ordinance regulating Licenses and prescribing the terms thereof in the Town of Anaheim. The Trustees of the Town of Anaheim do ordain as follows: SECTION 1.—Every person who sells spirituous, malt or fermented liquors or wine, in less quantities than one quart, must obtain a license from the Town Marshal, and make therefor the following payment: six 50-100 dollars per quarter. SECTION 2.—Each proprietor or keeper of a billiard table, bagatelle table or bowling alley, not kept exclusively for family use, must obtain a license from the Town Marshal, and make therefor the following payment: For each table or alley two (2) dollars per quarter; and no license shall be borne for such table or alley for a less term than three months. SECTION 3.—For each theatrical representation, each exhibition of serenaders, negro minstrels, opera, malodon performance, dancing or ballet, caravan or circus, menagerie, jugglers, necromancers, magicians, wire or rope dancing or sleight of hand exhibition, equestrian or aerobatic performance, license must be obtained from the Town Marshal, and payment made therefor in the sum of five (5) dollars. SECTION 4.—Every traveling merchant, hawker or peddler, who carries a pack and vends goods, wares or merchandise of any kind other than the agricultural or mechanical productions of this State when sold by the producer thereof, must pay to the Town Marshal for a license the sum of five (5) dollars per month; and every such traveling merchant, hawker or peddler (except peddlers of fish) who uses a wagon or other vehicle for one or more animals, for the purpose of vending, such goods, wares or merchandise of any kind, must pay to the Town Marshal for a license the sum of ten (10) dollars per month. done at the following rates: 1. Those who are estimated to make average monthly sales or hiring or business done to the amount of one thousand (1,000) dollars constitute the first class, and must pay nine (9) dollars per quarter. 2. Of five hundred (500) dollars, and less than one thousand (1,000) dollars constitute the second class,and must pay six(6) dollars per quarter. 3. Of two hundred (200) dollars, and less than five hundred (500) dollars constitute the third class,and must pay three(3) dollars. haps, however, we shall not be called upon to consider this very seriously when the time comes, for the reason that if the scientists are right California will about that period become uninhabitable. The prediction is that the denudation of the mountains will cause the winter snows to be precipitated into the valleys in the form of floods. All the snows will go off at once, early in the spring. Their descent will be torrential and destructive, sweeping away levees, and flooding everything below. They will carry enormous quantities of debris down upon the fertile lands, and another them. Then will follow long dry summers. During these every stream will disappear. The valleys will be parched up completely. Agriculture will become impossible; irrigation will fail; and the Golden State will revert to the condition of a desert. It would be very easy to laugh at these dianal prognostications, but for one consideration; and it is, that all these consequences have actually occurred in other countries, under similar conditions. It must be confessed that this is a disgusting fact, but it cannot be gainsayed. It is not easy to imbue an average California Legislature with a proper appreciation of the importance of forestry, and so all efforts to procure wise and reasonable measures in this connection have thus far failed. We have, however, got so far as to provide for a report upon the subject, and perhaps in four or five years it may be possible to get some plan for reboisement, as it is technically called, or the replanting of the country. Unfortunately, it is almost certain that when the Sierra has been completely stripped it will be impossible to replant it, since Nature would afford the young trees no opportunity to attain strength enough to resist the avalanche. The outlook is decidedly alarming; in fact, and the public will do well to realize that the threatened perils are very real and imminent, and by no means mere visionary apprehensions conjured up by some of "them literary fellers," as ex-Senator Cameron Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The last meeting of the Orangethorpe Literary Society was very well attended by residents of this and other districts. A well arranged and finely-executed programme was carried out to the entire satisfaction of the audience. Among the performances especially worthy of mention were songs by L. V. Glasscock, Miss Charlie Tarver, Miss Nellie Bancroft, and recitations by Mrs. B. B. Smith, Nettle Metcalf, and Mr. Jones. The society has adjourned to meet again on the third Saturday in August. Mr. S. L. Chilson showed us the other day a four-legged chicken which was perfectly formed in all other respects and would have lived but for an accident. It has been given to Doctor Ellis, who will preserve it in alcohol. Mr. Alfred Metcalf's algaroba trees are in blossom and some of them are full of minute pools. They will yield largely this year. His orange trees are heavily laden with young oranges. The Chilson brothers left for Arizona a few days ago. They will soon erect a 5-stamp mill at their mine. Dr. Glasscock, who has been staying in this district for some weeks visiting relatives, left for his northern home about a week ago. During his stay he was favorably impressed with the climate, and made many friends in this vicinity. We should not be at all surprised if he should leave the blood-chilling climate of Humboldt and take up his abode in this favored spot of the world. The barley crops in this vicinity have been greatly over-estimated. Barley will hardly average 5 sacks to the acre. There will be less than half a crop of wheat, but rye will prove the most remunerative crop of all the small grain. The cut and wire worms have entirely disappeared and the corn fields are looking splendidly. Farmers no longer have to go to other parts of the State to obtain an improved stock of cattle. Since Col. Davis has received his thorough-bred Jersey "Monroe," dairymen and others have had a chance to get in the way of possessing fine dairy cows, and have not been slow to make the most of the advantages offered. No one can visit the finely kept grounds and elegant gardens of the splendid estate of Mr. Saxton without being at a loss to words to express his feelings of admiration and pleasure. His fine mansion is surrounded with beautiful flower gardens and shady trees in which the tuneful birds dearly love to gather and hold their free concerts. The limbs of his ranch are marked by rows of Monterey cypress and Australia blue gums. Of the latter, a large wind-break has been formed which shields the ranch from fierce Santa Ana winds. On this place there is a variety of fruit and shade trees and many choice flowers and shrubs. We did not see a weed of any size on the whole place, and everything seemed to be growing very rapidly. Two American aloes, or so-called century plants, particularly attracted our attention. They are about to blossom and their stalks are 30 feet in height. CORYDON. Orange Items.

Shaffer, one of the oldest settlers here, and a bachelor too, is now taking the notion to plant an orange grove. Isn't there some single ladies about, that would like to take shelter under Peter James' wing, and enjoy with him a nice orange grove?

It is not often that the Government Print-in Office contributes interesting additions to the literature of the age, but every rule has its exceptions, and in this case the exception appears in the form of a Report upon Forestry, by Franklin B. Hough. This report is without exaggeration, a deeply interesting, important, and suggestive volume, and it has special significance for the people of California. The subject is one of the very first consequence, and the facts cited show that it has not received the attention of Congress a whit too soon. For it appears from the papers in this volume that the timber resources of the United States are being exhausted with absolutely frightful rapidity; that according to the best scientific authorities this destruction of the forests must result in marked, and often disastrous, climatic changes; and that it involves a great number of other changes, all of them prejudicial to man, and all of them tending to make the cultivation of the soil more difficult, and production more precarious. It would seem also, that a strange fatality accompanied all our encounters with Nature; as though some perverse instinct led us on to do the very worst things for our own interests. Take for example the raids made by farmers upon certain kinds of birds, because they eat the grain. It is shown that these birds are really the farmer's best friends, destroying, as they do, enormous quantities of voracious insects. In the regions where they have been thinned out these insects have begun to control the situation, and when they get the upper hand they are content with nothing less than the entire crop. The same kind of reckless and ignorant alaughter of insectivorous birds has produced identical results in many parts of Europe, and therefore our farmers have had warning, to no good purpose. As regards California forestry it is cheering to be informed that if the past rate of denudation is maintained without increase, the exhaustion of the forest growth of the Sierra is only a question of some ten years, and that if the rate of consumption is increased the catastrophe will occur considerably sooner. As of course the settlement of the State must make the demand for lumber greater every year, it becomes a question of pressing importance what we are to do when the forests are gone. Summer Goods!
