Mr. Kroeger's building on Center street, formerly used as a restaurant, is being altered and re-arranged for use as a tin shop, which Mr. Fesenfeldt will shortly open. The following are the officers elect of Orion Encampment, No. 54, L. O. O.F.: D. J. Sorenson, C.P.; E. Ferguson, H.P.; H.S.Austin, Scribe; and P.C.MeKinnie, Treasurer. Messrs. Goodman & Rimpau have a fine lot of bunting. It is a pleasant custom to decorate one's place of business or residence with the Stars and Stripes on Independence Day, and the cost is but a trifle. M.S. Patrick, President of the Commercial Bank of Los Angeles, and one of the Directors of the Bank of Anaheim, died on Friday evening of consumption. His remains will betaken to Chicago for interment beside his wife and child. One hundred and seventeen votes were polled at the election for School Trustee on Saturday. Fred W. Athearn was the successful candidate, he receiving 79 votes. John Fischer received 115 votes for Assessor and Collector. Additional windows have been made in Magnolia Hall, and hereafter no complaint can be made about deficient ventilation. The hall has been tastefully decorated for tomorrow evening. The expectation of a large attendance is certain to be realized. Of the sixty-three applicants who presented themselves before the County Board of Examination as candidates for teachers' certificates, only fifteen were successful. One received a first grade certificate, eleven second grade, and three a third grade. On Saturday afternoon a fire opposite the new depot in Los Angeles destroyed the Central Hotel and Railroad House. The fire originated in the hotel, which was unoccupied. A man named Henry Cook was arrested on a charge of arson. The entertainment given on Friday evening last by the Thespian Club was pronounced by all to be one of the finest amateur performances ever given in Anaheim, and we understand that the result financially was very satisfactory. We congratulate the Club upon the success of their first venture and hope that the members will feel encouraged to give another performance at no distant day.

We congratulate the Club upon the success of their first venture and hope that the members will feel encouraged to give another performance at no distant day. At the last meeting of the Anaheim Literary Society the question, Resolved, That the shoemaker is a greater benefactor to the world than the printer, was decided in the affirmative. The programme for the next meeting of the Society, to be held on the evening of the 11th inst., is as follows: Declamations, O. Des Granges, T. S. Grimshaw; Dialogue—"Getting up a Fourth of July Oration—Messrs Fish, Hanna, Shaffer, McKinnie and Ferguson; question for discussion, Resolved, That the career of Napoleon Bonaparte was beneficial to France. Affirmative—Guinn, Mitchell and Beebe; negative McFadden, Meudelson and Cash. At the eleventh hour it dawned upon the Anaheimers that it would scarcely be the proper thing to permit Independence Day to be passed by without celebrating the glorious deeds that were done on that day one hundred and two years ago. A meeting was hastily called on Saturday; the matter was talked over; it adjourned until Monday evening, by which time the populace were thoroughly imbued with patriotism and ready to come down handsomely. Committees were appointed by the meeting and they went to work with a vim and caricature highly creditable in such warm weather. In our report of the proceedings of the day we shall see that due credit is given to these gentlemen for their active and perspiring efforts. The programme which has been agreed upon is given in full in another column. It will be seen that it is an imposing one and very well arranged. And now we appeal to the citizens to be present and assist in making the affair a pleasing and dignified one. There is a local patriotism and pride that should be cultivated and shown just as much as national patriotism and pride. The people should make such a display as will enable us to report a celebration worthy of Anaheim and its patriotic citizens. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1878. Santa Rosa Mining Notes. Through the courtesy of Mr. Pullen we have received a very fine specimen of silver ore from the Ophir Lode, in the Santa Rosa mining district. The rock from which this specimen was taken is estimated to assay $100 to the ton. Mr. Pullen is very sanguine of the future of the district, and as he worked in the mines of this State and Nevada for twelve years, his opinion ought to be of weight. The majority of the miners who are now swarming in the mountains about Silverado are either residents of Anaheim or its vicinity. When the "boys" make their pile they will be apt to give our community a vigorous forward." "boost." The Board of Supervisors will be asked to designate and put in order the few miles of road needed to put Anaheim in easy connection with Silverado. With the exception of a very short distance, the road is now naturally a tolerably good one. There is one point generally conceded by all who have visited the district, and that is that the Blue Light mine, owned by Messrs Harvey & Thistlewaite, is, in the vernacular of the day, "simply immense." There seems to be no doubt that the great body of ore now in sight will hold out for a long time and its silver-giving qualities have been tested with most gratifying results. Opinions differ as to the value of the other mines. Unless it can be demonstrated that they are on Monday night, running over with ore and enthusiasm. He reports the excitement and new arrivals to be on the increase, among the latter being two representative Virginia City miners who are prospecting systemically and assiduously. A petition was circulated in town yesterday asking for viewers to locate a road from Anaheim to Silverado. The petition was forwarded to the Board of Supervisors last night and will no doubt be acted upon by them at the present session. The following item we find in yesterday morning's Republiean: Marshal Dunlap, one of the owners of the new silver mines at Silverado, says that he shipped 2,700 pounds of the rock to San Francisco and sold it for enough to pay all the expenses up to the present time, and grade a road to it. He also says that there are forty tons of rock on the dump now. The Meeting on Saturday. The citizen's mass meeting to consider the water question, which met at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday last, was not so well attended as the meetings already held to consider the matter. Perhaps this was owing to the effect of the election progressing in another part of the city. However, as the hour of three approached, a respectable outpouring of citizens centered at Kroeger's Hall, and soon the chairs were filled with those having an interest in the affairs of the water company. At half past 3 o'clock Mr. Rimpan called the meeting to order. Mr. Fische acting as Sec. New York Fashions. OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. ARCHERY COSTUMES. Scene 1 — Fashionable young lady exceedingly affectionate towards papa. Scene 2 — Tearful request for a bow and arrows, and an indefinite number of archery costumes. Scene 3 — Bow and arrows purchased. Getting up of costumes. Now we enter, for with this part of the business we have much to do. We will premise by observing that at present one is a nobody if one does not belong to an Archery club. Piano playing is superceded; operatic screams are hushed, and when one does not go coaching, one practices shooting at a target. All this, of course, gives a wonderful impulse to short costumes. Every known device is resorted to, in order to render them just as coquettish as can be. Chiefest of all, perhaps, our would-be Dianas affect Hunter's green, and this really charming color thereby takes rank as extremely stylish. It is effectively contrasted with pale shades of Havana, or the costume may be composed of Hunter's green, lightened by rich admixtures. Then again, we find brilliant combinations of divers hues, to say nothing of the dazzling results of gilt orsilver braidings, buttons, and other metal ornaments. Let me add a word about vests. 'Tis not inappropriate, for just now the vest, in more senses than one, lies close to the feminine heart. The expenditure of thought in this direction is something marvelous.'

With the exception of a very short distance, the road is now naturally a tolerably good one. There is one point generally conceded by all who have visited the district, and that is that the Blue Light mine, owned by Messra. Harvey & Thistlewaite, is, in the vernacular of the day, "simply immense." There seems to be no doubt that the great body of ore now in sight will hold out for a long time and its silver-giving qualities have been tested with most gratifying results. Opinions differ as to the value of the other mines. Unless it can be demonstrated that they are not easily exhaustible it will be impossible to induce capitalists to erect mills. But with two or three such developments as the Blue Light mine no difficulty would be experienced in inducing capitalists to embark in the enterprise. When Mr. Kenyon Cox visited the district last week he collected some average rock from the various mines and sent it to San Francisco for assay. We have been permitted to see the certificate of the assayer, who, it may be mentioned, is Thomas Price, said to be the most skillful of his profession on this coast. The specimens sent from the Blue Light gave $5.17 gold and $162.90 silver to the ton, making a total of $168.07. In his remarks Mr. Price says: "This ore is a mixture of carbonate of lead and galena, and is a good smelting ore." A smelting furnace costs little, and it is likely that the owners of the Blue Light will erect one with the proceeds of the one hundred tons of ore they are now shipping to San Francisco. The ore from the other mines, however, will not yield their treasures by the smelting process, but require mill power. Messrs. Miles and Taylor made a discovery two weeks ago of a ledge of exceedingly rich rock, estimated to give certainly $200 to the ton. The ledge, however, is only one foot wide on the surface, whereas the ledge of the Blue Light is six feet. But the ore is so exceedingly rich that, small though the ledge is, the mine is a valuable one. Although the district is in its infancy there is already looming up the shadow of litigation and strife. It seems that the Miles & Taylor mine, mentioned in the preceding paragraph, is claimed by Thistlewaite & Harvey to come within the scope of their claim. They procured the services of a surveyor, and according to his measurements they are correct in their assertions. The mining laws of this State say that a claim shall be fifteen hundred feet in length and six hundred in width—that is, three hundred feet on each side of the ledge, thus: The citizen's mass meeting to consider the water question, which met at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday last, was not so well attended as the meetings already held to consider the matter. Perhaps this was owing to the effect of the election progressing in another part of the city. However, as the hour of three approached, a respectable outpouring of citizens centered at Kroeger's Hall, and soon the chairs were filled with those having an interest in the affairs of the water company. At half past 3 o'clock Mr. Rimpan called the meeting to order, Mr. Fischer acting as Secretary, and proceeded to make known the result of the efforts of the committee appointed at the last meeting to solicit subscriptions to the general stock. There were reported a total of 770 shares, nearly all of which were subscribed by those living inside of the town limits. It was considered that the plan of soliciting subscriptions was impracticable. Mr. Reiser considered as the most expedient mode of procedure the plan of changing Anaheim Water Company's incorporation, thereby allowing the outsiders to become stockholders. He would have the Anaheim Water Company levy assessments to detray all expenses. There is already a necessity of having greater amount of water, the zanjoro having during the past week reported a very preceptible diminution in the Company's ditches. The Orange and Santa Ana ditches are daily overflowing, and water is constantly running to waste. Mr. Heimann had studied the matter for some time. He considered the project just stated the most equitable, and offered a resolution providing for a committee to effect the changes in the Anaheim Water Company's corporation. The Board of Trustees would remain as heretofore, levying assessments whenever necessary. A somewhat lengthy discussion occurred as to the resolutions passed at the last meeting. They were re-considered, however, and Mr. Pierce offered a resolution that the Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company be empowered with suitable guarantees to enter into negotiation with J.W.Shanklin,of the Cajon Water Company. Some debate ensued as to the advisability of leaving the power of negotiating entirely in the hands of the Anaheim Water Company's Trustees. Mr.Fischer could see no reason why the trustees should not have the power, as they are all gentlemen of many years' experience in this matter. The motion was carried, and there being no further business for transaction, the meeting was adjourned. The Trustees yesterday proceeded to the canal for the purpose of inspecting the ditch. It would be filled with water and everything effected looking to a complete understanding of the canal's capacity, its efficiency, etc. The Trustees appointed to enter into negotiations with the Cajon Water Company are Messra.Reiser,Rimpan,Fischer,korn,Langenberger,and Kroeger,all gentlemen of experience in water matters.

There is likely to be considerable strife over this matter, as both parties to the controversy have expressed a determination to fight it to the bitter end. It is said that an expenditure of $200 will make a good road to Silverado. The Board of Supervisors will undoubtedly make an appropriation when called on to do so. Visitors to the mines should by all means put up at the Clark House—an airy, imposing structure. The table is supplied with everything the market affords. Do not be misled by runners for the rival houses. Remember the place—No. 3, Main Street, west side, next door to a vacant lot, Silverade. Leah Woodruff arrived from the mines further business for transaction, the meeting was adjourned. The Trustees yesterday proceeded to the canal for the purpose of inspecting the ditch. It would be filled with water and everything effected looking to a complete understanding of the canal's capacity, its efficiency, etc. The Trustees appointed to enter into negotiations with the Cajon Water Company are Messrs. Reiser, Rimpan, Fischer, Korn, Langenberger, and Kroeger, all gentlemen of experience in water matters. Information Wanted. Information is wanted of one Richard H. Wilkins, who came to California from Texas, in 1868. He is a native of Kentucky, and is about forty-eight years of age. He first resided in Mariposa county; afterwards was engaged in business for several years with Messrs. Barrows, Furry & Co., of Los Angeles. When last heard from, about August, 1877, he had started for Arizona with a large herd of sheep, and notwithstanding the letters addressed to him and others by his anxious father, Dr. James H. Wilkins, who resides in Bastrop, Texas, no intimation of his residence, or whether living or dead, has been obtained. Pears are entertained that Mr. Wilkins has been foully dealt with. Any information concerning him will be a great relief to his father. Please address John B. Reynolds, Bastrop, Texas, or Angevine Reynolds, Mariposa, California. Los Angeles and Arizona papers please copy. According to the official count of the Board of Supervisors the vote of deleates from this county to the Constitutional Convention is as follows: W. H. Stephens 1328 J. F. Godfrey 1189 V. E. Howard 1465 J. P. West 1582 Edward Evey 1582 John S. Thompson 1385 This elects Messrs. Evey, West and Howard, the latter by a majority of 80 over Thompson. London Spectator: "The English is the most religious of nations, and its notions of heaven is sitting on a cold cloud singing psalms, and its greatest poet imagined cannon the weapon of the Almighty against the renels of Heaven, and Paradise a garden where oranges grow wild." No one who makes a business of being fashionable will fail to have a bright red parasol for driving. Bright red, with a terrible looking club for a handle. Only some degrees less striking are parasols of satiny overspread with small figures or stripes—the appearance exactly like that used for gentle men's cravats. Charming parasols are brocaded silk in refined shades, and plaid silk parasols are beautifully embroidered and edged with fine white or black lace. Curiosities of Housekeeping. The other day I was greatly interested in going over the St. Nicholas Hotel. The perfection of discipline which prevails seems to my somewhat disorderly imagination, quite wonderful. The dining room with its corps of waiters, the lunch room, the nurses' dining room, the kitchen with its white cappetie chef, the dish washing reduced to a science; the arrangements for keeping plates and dishes always warm; are edifying spectacles. Below are the ice houses hung with meat and vegetables; the pastry kitchen; the servants' dining room. Above in the linen room five persons are kept constantly employed in the department. But the half is not told. Sometimes when you are in the city go the rounds and take a lesson in systematic and beautiful housekeeping. You will be rewarded, and if you are once an inmate of this grand old house, you will never be found elsewhere. New York, June 28th.-A special from Washington says: Two famous law cases were called in Court here to-day, but went over to the September term by mutual consent. These are the suit of the widow Olive against ex-Senator Cameron for alleged breach of promise of marriage, and that of Biggins against ex-President Grant for imprisonment. In the latter case Biggins, who was sent to the Insane Asylum, charged that his incarceration there was procured by Grant. GAZETTE. Y 6, 1878. The Election.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 22. Washington always parts with Congress reluctantly, but this time there is added to its usual regret the grief of losing a benefactor. It is not only, as usual, the going away of one who stayed with us for a season, paid his bills and otherwise behaved himself properly, but the vanishing of one who first did justice to us in our whole history. The city of Washington, for the first time, is not now obliged to exhaust its substance in taking care of Government property and other interests, to the neglect of its own and the ruin of its citizens. This Congress has said that whenever the District of Columbia appropriates one of its dollars for the mutual benefit of itself and the United States, the United States will appropriate another.* As the stronger party, Congress keeps the amount of such expenditures in its own hands, but we do not find fault with that. It is, perhaps, better for us. So, whatever the faults or follies of the 45th Congress, we of the District will always remember it as a benefactor and friend. Its other work does not deserve the free condemnation bestowed upon it in various newspapers. There was less of corruption in its acts than is usual, and little of its somewhat lavish expenditures were in the interest of rings or speculators. The river and harbor bill, appropriating an unheard of amount of money—some eight and one-half A. Bryant on Words. William Cullen Bryant will ever be remembered as a master of the English language, and the world will respect his judgment above that of any other American writer. Read what he says to a young author upon the use of words: "I observe that you have used several French expressions in your article. I think, if you will study the English language, you will find it capable of expressing all that you may have to say. I have always found it so, and in all that I have written I do not recall an instance when I was tempted to use a foreign word, but that on searching I found a amount of such expenditures in its own hands, but we do not find fault with that. It is perhaps better for us. So, whatever the faults or follicles of the 45th Congress, we of the District will always remember it as a benefactor and friend. Its other work does not deserve the free condemnation bestowed upon it in various newspapers. There was less of corruption in its acts than is usual, and little of its somewhat lavish expenditures were in the interest of rings or speculators. The river and harbor bill, appropriating an unheard of amount of money—some eight and one-half millions—will put money in circulation among the classes who most need money, as will also the bills giving considerable sums to the erection of public buildings. On this last item I have before had something to say, and wish now to repeat that liberal expenditure in this direction is true economy. The Government pays rents in this city which are five times the interest on a sum which would complete all its necessary buildings. It may be swindled when it erects a building, but that is nothing to the unceasing swindle involved in paying annually, three or four times what is a fair rent for private property. Much will be written of the disorderly scenes of the last few days and nights of the session. There is always disorder on such occasions. Congress never adjourns, as the Maine legislature does, with the orderly singing of "Old Hundred." Even in the solemn times of the late war, when the departing legislator was not certain that the Richmond Congress would not occupy the Capitol before the time for another session, he shouted and joked and rioted as the time for adjournment approached. No subsidies were voted at the late session. For this, whether the result be good or bad, Speaker Randall is responsible. When one thinks of the numberless schemes which would be brought forward, if the policy of the Government were once fixed of aid to planable plans for "developing the commerce of the country" it does not seem so grave an offense on the part of the Speaker that he should set his face as a flint against everything that looked like a subaid. Nevertheless, many of his friends were bitterly disappointed, and were not slow in expressing their feelings." Adopting Two Cubs. Barnum's lioness, in the Central Park Menagerie, gave birth to two cubs—a male and a female—on the 4th inst. Four days later the lioness belonging to the menagerie produced twins, also male and female. Then Barnum's lioness, through jealousy or from some other cause, dropped dead in her cage, and it became an anxious question what was to be done for the little orphans. If given to the other lioness there was great danger that, instead of nourishing them, she might look upon them as nourishment intended for herself. This peril, however, was not so great as bringing them up on the bottle, and it was decided to take the risk. The employees handled the cubs freely so as to give them, as the Superintendent explained, the smell of the human body, and then all four were taken in a bunch and placed in the cage of the lioness. She was a mild-mannered but not an obtuse beast. She smelled out her own cubs in a moment, and literally amount of such expenditures in its own hands, but we do not find fault with that. It is perhaps better for us. So, whatever the faults or follicles of the 45th Congress, we of the District will always remember it as a benefactor and friend.

PARASOLS. He makes a business of being will fail to have a bright red living. Bright red, with a terracelub for a handle. Only some striking are parasols of satin, with small figures or stripes—in exactly like that used for gentlemen. Charming parasols are of in refined shades, and plain ones are beautifully embroidered with fine white or black lace. CERTIES OF HOUSEKEEPING. May I was greatly interested in the St. Nicholas Hotel. The peripline which prevails, seems to disorderly imagination, quite the dining room with its corps the lunch room, the nurses' din-kitchen with its white capped washing reduced to a science, events for keeping plates and warm, are edifying spectacles. Ice houses hung with meats, the pastry kitchen, the ser-room. Above in the linen room, we kept constantly employed in partment. But the half is not none when you are in the city, and take a lesson in systematic housekeeping. You will find if you are once an inmate old house, you will never be sure. LECUY CARTER.

If given to the other lioness there was great danger that, instead of nourishing them, she might look upon them as nourishment intended for herself. This peril, however, was not so great as bringing them up on the bottle, and it was decided to take the risk. The employees handled the cuba freely as to give them, as the Superintendent explained, the smell of the human body, and then all four were taken in a bunch and placed in the cage of the lioness. She was a mild-mannered but not an obtuse beast. She smelled out her own cuba in a moment, and literally kicked the other two out. The experiment was tried several times, but without success, the lioness thrusting the strangers from her with her foot. At last, after three hours of persistent endeavor, she was induced to have compassion upon them, and the four cubs are now being nursed as if they were of one family. — N. Y. Sun. A Grizzly Bear Killed by a Woman. The Fresno Expositor of the 29th instant says: We are informed by T. T. Barnes that last week, Mrs. Dickinson, who resides on Lewis Creek, in the Coast Mountains, killed a grizzly bear, which weighed 900 pounds. The bear had been killing sheep belonging to Mr. Dickinson, and he and his wife, accompanied by a hired man, went in search of the animal. Mrs. D. was the first to discover his bearship. He was standing up before her in the usual attitude of a bear on the warpath. She raised her gun and shot him, the bullet passing through one of the animal's forelegs and into his body. We should call Mrs. Dickenson's action very brave. "Bedad," said the Irish veteran, returned from the wars, exhibiting a bullet hole in the top of his tall cap, 'bedad, if I had been wearin' a low-crowned hat, that shot would have kilt me sure." If the Emperor William hadn't been protected by a helmet, the crazy assassin who deluged him with back-shot would probably have accomplished his purpose. Eighteen shot were picked out of the old gentleman's head covering. The introduction of the spiked helmet, with its hard leather and its brass, into the military branch of Germany, may have been a great success after all. William Cullen Bryant will ever be membered as a master of the English language, and the world will respect his judgment above that of any other American writer. Read what he says to a young author upon the use of words: "I observe that you have used several French expressions in your article. I think, if you will study the English language, you will find it capable of expressing all that you may have to say. I have always found it so; and in all that I have written I do not recall an instance when I was tempted to use a foreign word, but that on searching I found a better one in my own language. Be simple, unaffected, be honest in your speaking and writing. Never use a long word when a short one will do. Do not call a spade a well-known, oblong instrument of manual industry; let a home be a home, not a residence, a place a place, not a locality, and so of the rest. Where a short word will do, you always lose by using a long one. You lose in clearness, you lose in honest expression of your meaning; and in the examination of all men who are competent to judge, you lose in reputation of ability. The only true way to shine in this false world is to be modest and unassuming. Falsehood may be a thick crust, but in the course of time truth will find a way through. Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us, but simplicity and straightforwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think." These brief utterances come to us with all the force of law, and they are accepted by all men who have any standing whatever as writers, as the tests of good writing. No educated or cultured man disfigures his style by strange and unusual words. In every instance where the false taste is found, real ignorance and a base superficial culture will be found to be the cause. More than this, as suggested by Mr. Bryant, the use of needlessly long and unusual words will always be found in company with dishonesty, and in every instance this class of writers are desitute of honest and manly convictions. They may be bought and sold like sheep. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29th. — Henry Briskwedel, Supervisor for the Twelfth Ward, has tendered his resignation to the Mayor. Mr. Brickwedel, who is a busy honest old German, of pronounced conviction, gives as his reasons for resigning he is disgusted with public life and things go on in the Board of Trustees.
