Mr. Olden, agent of the Stearn's Ranchos, informs us that there is some demand for lands. There are several parties now viewing the country, on purchase intent. The Building Committee of the Horticultural Society have adopted plans for their building, and it is expected that work will be begun on it by the 1st of August. The fair will open on Monday, October 14th. A member of the Los Angeles Base Ball Club met with a strange accident. He was pitching a ball, when suddenly his arm flew back and struck him on the back. On examination it was found that his arm had broken just above the elbow. Residents of Westminster have already ordered seventy-five extra copies of next Saturday's Weekly Gazette, containing the account of the Fourth of July celebration at Westminster. It is probable that the orders will be doubled before Saturday. On Sunday afternoon the body of Patrick Henry Dillon was found in a vineyard in town. His head had been crushed with an axe. On the same evening an Indian named Vicente was arrested for the crime; and on an examination he was held to answer before the next Grand Jury. On July 4th, while the family were away, the house of Mannel Dabney, a fisherman at Newport Landing, took fire and soon burned to the ground. It is not known how the fire originated. All that was saved was a harness and a wagon from a shed adjoining.-Santa Ana Herald. Mr. Edward McTaggart, of Whatcom county, Washington Territory, is now visiting Anaheim. Mr. McTaggart is a former resident of this place, but located in the Territory some years ago. He returns to find his fine property in Orangethorpe more than quadrupled in value and surrounded by finely cultivated farms and handsome houses. He will remain here about two weeks. The statement that the oleander is responsible for the presence of scale-bugs on trees of the citrus family, is denied by Mr. Louis J. Stengel, of the Exotic Nursery, Los Angeles. He calls attention to the fact that scale-bugs were plentiful long before the oleander or orange were cultivated. They infested the olive trees when neither of the trees mentioned were grown in this country. At the late examination of teachers in Los Angeles, the following persons received certificates: Mrs. M. C. Graham, Jos. Hamilton, T. C. Jory, Edwin A. Parker, C. W. Campbell, Miss Eva Bisbee, Geo. J. Forbes, Miss Mary Darby, Miss Lillian A. Putnam, H. R. Wiley, Miss Ada Connor, Miss Bettie Anderson, Miss Alice A. Bisbee, Miss Adah des Granges, Miss Mary E. Molony, Mrs. Mary S. Myers, Mrs. Emma S. Onatott, Miss Ida B. Lindley.

Ascending a steep incline, he and the other occupants of the buggy alighted and walked in order to lighten the labors of the horses. The horses became frightened at something and started to run, and Mr. Smith, having imprudently loosened his hold upon the reins, there was nothing to restrain them. Mr. Smith, in attempting to stop them, had his arm broken above the elbow. As the gentleman’s health is delicate, serious results are feared by Dr. Ellis, the surgeon in charge. Water troubles still continue, and many farmers in the neighborhood of this place are apprehensive that their corn crops may suffer materially for want of water. We cannot learn that the Water Commissioners are taking any decisive steps to enforce the law under which they are holding office. Something should be done, and that quickly, to settle this water question, or trouble and serious loss to some will ensue. Since writing the above we learn that the case of the Commissioners against Aguirre has been decided by Judge Trafford, of Los Angeles, in favor of the Commissioners, and an appeal taken to the County Court. — Downey Courier. This season tells the story as to “what what” in the budded orange line. So far there appears to be four kinds of Navel and two of Mediterranean sweet growing, if one can judge by the shape. There is much uncertainty about the Blood. On the other hand the Mediterranean Sweet and Du Roi have been ascertained to be the same variety. The Bahia is only another name for the Navel. The Konah has been fairly tested on Mr. Hart’s place and is very satisfactory. Those who put off budding till next spring can know what they can get, as almost every kind of budded tree known to our nurserymen will fruit this coming winter. Henceforth the same strictness and accuracy will be required of our tree growers in providing trees true to name as is now the case in the East. This, in the nature of the case, was impossible before. “Time tries all things,” oranges included. At the late examination of Los Angeles, the following persons received certificates: Mrs. M. C.

AN IMMENSE CELEBRATION THE FOURTH OF JULY AT WESTMINSTER. An Immense Concourse of People from all parts of the County—A fine Musical Programme and an Elequent Oration—The Exercises in the Mammoth Pavilion. During the past two weeks our people have been busily occupied making preparations for the day. All efforts made heretofore for any celebration have been confined to the annual re-unions held each New Year's Day since the place was founded. But the committee who had the matter in charge were determined it should be a success, and would listen to no discouraging comments. All who were present can attest how well this purpose was carried out. The National salute was fired at sunrise; and at an early hour, long before the time set for commencing the exercises, men, women and children were to be seen passing along the roads leading to this place, coming in all kinds of conveyances and in no conveyances. Careful observers, who counted groups in different parts of the tent and just outside of it, estimated that there were about 2000 persons and 500 conveyors Shunned it up onto the platform, and between noises most uncerterally delivered his master piece of eloquence. Not to be outdone by any, the horrible post "Bob" bed up onto the platform, drew forth his manuscript, poised himself in one of his naturally graceful attitudes, and prepared; but native modesty overcame him, and he stepped down and off, doing Bothquick. This was a sad disappointment to "the noble red man;" to the family of twenty Jamaica niggers, woman and all: to the blue ribbon boy who rode around, encircled with a lager key, to our celestial neighbor, to the old 49er and all the rest. After giving expression to their chagrin by a series of most discordant toots, yells and similar music, they galloped off at a rate that would defy his satanic majesty, whom they seemed trying to imitate. Soon after this all repaired to the tent for the closing exercises of the day which were opened with song and chorus, "Uncle Sam's Farm," James Booth and choir, Mr. Van Anda moved hearty thanks to the Executive Committee, for the manner in which they had prepared for the temperance meetings and the celebration yesterday; to the choir for their valued assistance; to Mr. Allen and Mrs. Stevens for their many earnest words during the meetings held in the tent, all of which was carried by a standing vote. Rev. S. B. King then made a few remarks expressive of his interest in the meetings and hope for the success of the work. The choir repeated the anvil chorus by request and Mr. Van Anda made a farewell address to Mr. Allen, Mrs. Stevens and the tent, in behalf of the audience and community, reviewing the work done here, and expressive of full confidence. The Status of the Water Question. At the usual meeting of the Water Company on Saturday a proposition was submitted by Mr. D.J. Sorenson to extend the present Anaheim Water Company's ditch from a point between what is known as the Farmer's Ditch and sandgate, to intersect the Santa Ana river at or near the bluff on the north bank of said river, nearly opposite the head of the ditch of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. Mr. Sorenson offered to guarantee to deliver at the town of Anaheim four hundred inches of water under ordinary circumstances and not less than two hundred inches at any time. He further agreed to finish the extension within two months from such time as the right of way is secured; provided that such right of way be secured not later than September 1st, 1878. He further agreed to take care of said ditch, keep it in full repair and deliver the aforementioned quantity of water in the town of Anaheim for one year. The Anaheim Water Company must, by purchase or condemnation, secure the right of way for said extension, the course to be selected by Mr. Sorenson, subject to the approval of a competent engineer. And for building said extension, and delivering the water one year, the company must pay to Mr. Sorenson the sum of $7,650, payable as follows: On the Hortifor their will be the fair He was from flew a exambroke already of next naming the eration at the orders Patrick yard in with an named and on an before Whatcom now visita former the Terto find more than by finely cases.

All who were present can attest how well this purpose was carried out. The National salute was fired at sunrise; and at an early hour, long before the time set for commencing the exercises, men, women and children were to be seen passing along the roads leading to this place, coming in all kinds of conveyances and in no conveyances. Careful observers, who counted groups in different parts of the tent and just outside of it, estimated that there were at least 2000 persons and 500 conveyances of different kinds, making much the largest gathering ever held here. Among those present we saw parties from Los Angeles, Downey, Norwalk, Wilmington, Cerritos, Centralia, Artesia, Anaheim, Orange, Fairhaven, Tustin, Santa Anna, Newport, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Ocean View, Anaheim Landing, and the entire surrounding region. The neatly printed programmes from the Gazette office were distributed among the audience, and the exercises began promptly on time—something that has become "unfashionable" here in all church, Sabbath-school, social and every other gathering. We hope this new departure will be contagious, having a good effect on all future gatherings; that 10:45 will not mean 11:45, and 2:30 P.M. 3:00. A short voluntary was played on the organ, after which Rev. J. A. VanAnda, President of the Day, called the audience to order, and the exercises began with an opening chorus, "The Heavens are Tellling," from Haydn. Rev. S. B. King aa Chaplain then offered an earnest, appropriate prayer, the audience standing. Song and chorus, "Red, White, and Blue,"—Mrs. Bowley and choir "President's address of welcome,"—Rev. J. A. VanAnda, Chorus, "Hail Columbia." "Reading the Declaration of Independence" Dr. A. J. Howe. "Hallelujah Chorus," from Handel. Oration by Rev. G. S. Allen. Song and chorus, "Star Spangled Banner"—James Booth and choir. Original poem written for the occasion, Mrs. A. J. Taylor. "Anvil Chorus" from II Trovatore. National Anthem, "America," choir and audience. Dr. Howe read that grand old "Declaration" with good effect, and at times during the delivery of his extempore address Mr. Allen waxed truly eloquent. It was not a prosy, stiff, stereotyped Fourth of July gas, but an easy interesting talk. He said it was the first time such a tent had been filled on such a day with such an audience, for such a celebration—a celebration of the fullest independence—the independence of temperance. We celebrate not only the acts of the good old fathers, but the coming of a new era which will be as successful as the old, spreading not over our nation alone, but over the globe To-day we are enjoying the inauguration of the National Blue Ribbon Temperature Cause. He referred to the repeated insults our fathers were subjected to, which, figuratively speaking, brought about the birth of an infant; to the Boston tea party mess, when the cradle holding that young infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, overturned—the babe shook off his wrappings and stood erect. That babe has grown, until like our noble ancestors, we of to-day doff our hats and do him honor, as do people of foreign lands to that strangely yet nobly created babe—our good "Old Uncle Sam." The speaker ably dismitted that such right of way be secured not later than September 1st, 1878. He further agreed to take care of said ditch, keep it in full repair and deliver the aforementioned quantity of water in the town of Anaheim for one year. The Anaheim Water Company must, by purchase or condemnation, secure the right of way for said extension, the course to be selected by Mr. Sorenson, subject to the approval of a competent engineer. And for building said extension, and delivering the water one year, the company must pay to Mr. Sorenson the sum of $7,650, payable as follows: On the completion of the extension and the delivery of the stipulated quantity of water in Anaheim, $8,000; and the further sum of $1,650 in equal quarterly payments, commencing with the first of such payments three months after the first delivery of water. Mr. Sorenson would contract to take care of the ditch for a term of years for the sum of $1,500 a year, payable quarterly. This proposition being read to the meeting, a committee was appointed to secure the right of way. We learn that the committee find it impossible to accomplish this, owing to the absence of some of the owners of the land along which the proposed extension will run. Their consent cannot be obtained soon enough for the ditch to be completed and be of any service this season. Meantime, the negotiations with the Cajon Company are at a standstill. The Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company will make no move in the matter until they see the water running in the Cajon Company's ditch to a certain point, a feat which has heretofore been unable of accomplishment. The water in the Anaheim ditches will probably be increased next week, as it is the present intention of the Trustees to build a dam in the river; or more properly speaking, extend their ditch some distance into the river. Rice Growing. Editors Press:—We have plenty of artesian water; can flood the land or turn it off at pleasure. I want to try raising rice. What is the best method?—R. M. Dungan, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Los Angeles county. Our querist evidently has in mind experiments with lowland rice, or the grain that thrives by water culture, as in South Carolina and Louisiana. The method employed in these States is briefly described by Caleb G. Forshey in Johnson's new encyclopedia, as follows: "After preliminary cultivation, the seed (unhulled of course) is sown in drills from eight to ten inches apart and the water is turned on profusely. It lies thus until the plant is seen above the water. It is then drained off and remains dry until the stalk forms a joint. The water is then again turned on and allowed to stand until the grain has matured, which is about six weeks. The water is renewed as often as necessary during this time, and the cultivator wades around and pulls out all weeds and grasses which the water does not kill. When the celebrate not only the acts of the good old fathers, but the coming of a new era which will be as successful as the old, spreading not over our nation alone, but over the globe. To-day we are enjoying the inauguration of the National Blue Ribbon Temperature Cause. He referred to the repeated insults our fathers were subjected to, which figuratively speaking, brought about the birth of an infant; to the Boston tea party mess, when the cradle holding that young infant, wrapped in swaddling clothes, overturned—the babe shook off his wrappings and stood erect. That babe has grown, until like our noble ancestors, we of to-day doff our hats and do him honor, as do people of foreign lands to that strangely yet nobly created babe—our good "Old Uncle Sam." The speaker ably discussed the question, "What is the want of the day?"—what is she thing we have run the nearest out of, and which if we do not have plenty of soon will result in our bankruptcy? He showed it was not education; not wealth; not variety of character, but good, old fashioned, pure, true blue, genuine backwoods style of honesty. Honesty in politics, in theology, in science, in religion, in everything. We will not attempt to give the speaker's words, but the careful attention paid him, the frequent loud applause, proved that he was listened to with deep interest. Mrs. Taylor's poem, read by Mrs. Bowley, was very good. The choir, composed of James Booth, conductor, Mrs. E. C. Torry, organist and pianist, Measles Bowley, A. J. Howe, Bessie Goldsworthy, Johnson Booth, Deveres, and Misses Belle Edwards, Minnie Kiefhaber, and Walton soprano; Mesdames Willey, Eliza Goldsworthy and Everett, alto; Messrs. Booth, Lyman, Culter, Little, Crittenden and Silkwood, tenors, and Jonathan Booth, Con Howe, Sherwood, W. Cary, Patterson, Smith and J. Edwards, bassos performed their part of the programme well, and when it is remembered that the book containing the three grand choruses were not received until last Monday evening, leaving only two days for practice, all will agree that well deserved credit is due them. After the morning programme had been carried out, a busy scene ensued. Tables were improvised, and a hard fight with daintily prepared dishes followed. Allowing those present due praise for the courageous attempts to vanquish all viands, we still must say that the dishes came off victors; the crowd of 2,000 persons could not begin to master what was spread before them. Ice cream was abundant, and if what we had was a fair sample, no one could complain of the quality. At the two stands gallons were sold, also a great many strawberries with cake lemonade, tea and coffee. Over the speakers' and singers' stand, suspended from a wire,hung in evergreen letters the Murphy motto,"Malice toward none; Charity for all." But the artist who painted the banner for the Horribles and Antiques seemed to be laboring under a delusion. When that company came out in the afternoon, clad in garbs that might almost defy the costume-maker of the dark, infernal regions, if there be one there, prominent over all others was seen a banner with the following: "Malice toward all; Charity Nix." After riding around the place, making all kinds of sounds but musical ones showing their pretty faces to the crowd, they assembled before the tent; their violation of State laws, in relation to such matters. There were but about one-third of those present in favor of the amendment while it required two-thirds of the stockholders present to carry the amendment. The specifications, furnished the Architect Committee, were violated in a marked degree and to the great financial detriment of the district in the construction of the school building. Bro. Allen opened the temperance ball here last Saturday night. He would make a good Methodist revivalist if he should turn his attention in that direction. For a few first-class idiots commend us to a spot not a thousand miles from Gospel Swamp. These worthies hold up their hands in holy horror if a sick person is allowed the free air of the Universe, or ice to soothe the aching brain or quench the thirst of a fevered or parched throat and tongue. Verily, they should have lived a hundred years ago, when people were allowed to die in the good old orthodox manner—no air, no nourishment, no ice or water, but drugs, drugs, calomel, jalapine, quinine, opium etc., ad libitum. Well, we hope these parties will enjoy the latter mode of treatment if they should have the misfortune to get sick. Nothing like orthodoxy, you know. Dr. Crane has been quite ill since his sojourn in San Francisco. Buchanan, of the firm of Buchanan and Herbert, was in town last Sunday, overseeing the work progressing on Gildmacher's brick building. Mr. G. has changed the original plans so as to make his building 60x92 feet, one story in height. Richard Ceurde Leon puts on not a bolder front than the "emsaher" of the ring. Nevertheless,the "erusher" is crushed. When will old man "erusher" come again? BION. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. One day this week a California lion from the mountains made us a visit. He was first started from Mr. Shafer's lemon and lime orchard; from the orchard he went to Mr. Hunt's house and looked in; also to Rev. Mr. Young's. He came into the door yard near the house and then walked off leisurely across the vineyard while they went to a neighbor's house to borrow a gun; only succeeding in getting a shot gun. All men—and boys turned out lion hunting armed with shovels,picks,knives pistols and one shotgun,manned by Capt. Horace Young.With the mercury at 90° in the shade upon the whole chase was a warm one.Capt.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29. From scattering reports which begin to come in it is evident that members of Congress are mostly at home "fixing things" in their respective "deestriks." In a physical sense, at least, what has been our loss is their constituents' gain. And while "the boys" at home may, as a general thing, give the returning member a hearty welcome, freely accepting all his invitations to irrigate, it is probable that the other fellows whose hearts have gone out after the flesh-pots of Egypt, as it were—those ambitious chaps who aspire to $5,000 a year and M. C. after their names—wish that the session might have continued indefinitely. It is the chief end and aim of every Congressman to obtain a re-election and, with few exceptions, from the day he first sits down in one of Uncle Sam's easy chairs, all his efforts are directed to this purpose. A few whose ability or commanding positions render them valuable are certain to continually succeed themselves, but the great majority hold their position by an uncertain tenor, and many can not even seek the much-coveted return without violating pledges given to obtain a nomination in the first instance. Are Congressmen ever stand, and throwing himself into a capacious and richly upholstered arm chair, proceeded to remove his boots. It was but a moment before the trickling of water was heard, when the gallant Kentuckian was observed with his feet in the basin enjoying an operation which was evidently rare. Hardly had the gentlemen recovered from their surprise than the shrewd and sagacious representative from New York, Mr. Hewitt, shot into the room in his usual manner, remarking, "I have settled the fishery award question, and I am now ready to participate in another glass." Having partly quaffed his wine, his attention was attracted by the splatter of water, and discovering the nature of the Kentuckian's manipulation dropped his glass, raised his nasal organ into the air, and gave a sniff, remarking, "There's a call of the House; my presence is required," and went through the door with extraordinary impetuosity. No sooner had this exit occurred than there was an uneasiness among the rest of the party, who, one by one, began to drop out, each, in passing, being saluted by the Kentuckian with "I don't drink and I don't smoke." To fully appreciate this incident, the reader should know the fastidious Hewitt. The Mission Grape.

Mr. Sorenson to take care of the ditch waters for the sum of $1,500 quarterly. This letter is not written with the purpose of saying hard things of Congressmen or any one else, but merely to convey a few reflections touching things as they appear to those who see official life as it is, and see members of Congress, with others, weighed in the balance from year to year. It is no discredit to a representative that he desires to be returned, and his position even legitimately used given him some advantages in the pursuit of that object. The cold, unsympathetic world may not duly appreciate the heroism of a Congressman, who quietly attends to his official duties knowing the while that his rival at home is setting up the primaries and manipulating the party machinery to secure the succession. Yet virtue is its own reward. It is to be hoped that every truly valuable and successful member may be re-elected, but there are men in the present House in both parties whose return would be a disgrace. It is not my place to call names. The constituents of every member have his record and if they are not satisfied that it is a good one; that he has been a credit to them and of service to the nation, he should be allowed to enjoy the society of his friends at home hereafter. The great trouble is, the people are too careless in making nominations. Small politicians work and fib themselves into it, while the men of ability and character are too often left at home. Without charging the responsibility upon any party, for it belongs to both alike, there are too many men in the 45th Congress whose distinguishing characteristics are mediocrity and immorality. They pay little attention to the duties belonging to them, take no interest in committee work, exert no influence. Some of them are of such quality that, stripped of their official positions, they could hardly be received in good society. They count one sometimes at roll-call, and that is the extent. Very often they are not to be found when wanted to cast an important vote. The best "indorsement" for such representatives is to give them a rest. It has been said that the preponderance of lawyers in Congress is the primary cause of the procrastination which results in the disgraceful scenes at the end of a session.

[Correspondence Los Angeles Republican.] "Amos" has written two interesting articles for the Express on our wine interests, the conclusion of which leads him to the following advice to our people—a bold and hazardous advancement of opinion, which is calculated to do much injury and destroy an important property now existing and vested. Here are his words: "Let us destroy our Mission grapes and supply their place with suitable foreign varieties, and in a few years we can have the potentates of Europe and the world seeking our market for their wines." Some eight years ago Matthew Keller, Esq., volunteered the same advice. He had then on hand cuttings of foreign varieties sufficient to supply this valley. He has planted them, and the result in producing any distinctive success has not been brilliant. It is pretty well understood and admitted that it is not the grape vine that gives the distinctive merit to the wine; it is the soil. This is well understood in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Hungary. The same vine planted in the valley and planted in favored elevations of flinty and calcareous soils with proper drainage and sunny slopes, produce very different wines—the one a cheap, rough wine, the other the Vino Xeres, or wine of the gods. The Mission Fathers brought with them the very best varieties, and the one they found best adapted to this soil and climate they adhered to, to-wit: the Sherry grape, which is only another name for the Mission grape. The old Fathers,the old Californians and the old Frenchmen that followed the process of the Fathers,made good, palatable wines. It is true that our grapes have a larger percentage of sugar than those of Europe, and it is difficult to get the juice properly fermented. Our nights are cold and the must is subject to great variation of temperature. If proper fermentation is obtained you will have a good, sound wine,and if your soil is good you will have it palatable.The grand trouble is in attempting imitations. We should make a distinctive wine for California.All the wine that is properly fermented, if white or claret,will be good.The white wine, if raised on the proper soil, will in two or four years develop its sherry bouquet.I have come to the conclusion that the effort to destroy the Mission grape is a cruel one,and should not be thought of.I have wine properly handled and made from the Mission grape that Don Morrison pronounced as good as any he ever tasted,, although he had visited every cellar of note in Europe.A. The grand trouble is in attempting imitations. We should make a distinctive wine for California. All the wine that is properly fermented, if white or claret, will be good. The white wine, if raised on the proper soil, will in two or four years develop its sherry bouquet. I have come to the conclusion that the effort to destroy the Mission grape is a cruel one, and should not be thought of. I have wine properly handled and made from the Mission grape that Don Morrison pronounced as good as any he ever tasted, although he had visited every cellar of note in Europe. As to our importing wine from Napa vinters, it is a myth, and as regards their success with various varieties from Europe, I think it is equally mythical. I failed to see it, and their own financial experience demonstrates that it is all a myth. I say: save your Mission grape and have confidence in it; it has done well heretofore, and will prove generally faithful and profitable in the future. When you make white wine select your grapes and sun them for a week or two, use lime as they do in Xeres, to correct any disposition to acetic fermentation. If you make port, it is plain saffron and safe—there will be no loss. If you make claret, you must be sure to let it ferment thoroughly in the skin. Get all the better extraction and coloring matter into the juice, and you will have a good Burgundy. The grand secret is proper fermentation. Los Angeles, July 2d, 1878. Daniel Webster: "Religion is the tie that connects man with his Creator,and holds him in His throne. If that tie is sundered or broken, he floats away a worthless atom in the universe, its proper attractions all gone, destiny thwarted, and its whole nothing but darkness, desolation and death." Our non-religious farmers are cursing loudly (and others are thinking loudly) at a certain tree man from which they purchased thousands of trees a few years ago," warranted true to label." These trees are now fruiting, and turn out to be worthless. Ventura Free Press.
