A slight shock of earthquake was felt in Anaheim about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. S. A. Sheffield has bought Mr. McTaggart's eighty acres in Orangethorpe. The price paid was $30 per acre. The excursion to Santa Monica on Sunday, August 4th, will probably draw a great many of our citizens to that seaside retreat. On the recommendation of Postal Agent Truman, Mr. Locke has been removed from the Postmastership at San Luis Rey, and Mr. Simon Goldbaum now fills that position. Rev. J. M. Allis, formerly pastor of the Anaheim Presbyterian Church, had the honor of christening the triplets recently born in San Francisco. According to the San Diego News, somebody at San Juan Capistrano has been buying a thousand sheep from somebody at San Luis Rey. This item is alarmingly vague. It is stated that G. Wiley Wells will enter into a partnership with Judge Brunson, of Los Angeles. Mr. Wells has represented Mississippi in Congress and has only lately been relieved as Consul at China. Captain A. H. Miller, of Los Angeles, Killed by her Husband. The huge and masculine form of Madame Maria Castorene was a year or two ago familiar and oft seen figure on our streets. She and her husband (Basques) had their sheep in this vicinity and done the most of their trading here, to the subsequent regret of some of our merchants. She was a bold, aggressive woman, and her immense strength always made her come victorious out of the many brawls in which she engaged. That she should meet with a violent death was naturally to be expected, but that her husband should become her murderer was never for a moment thought of. The couple have lately been living in camp in Trenous Canyon, San Bernardino county; about three miles from the well-known Chino House. On Tuesday morning the husband gave himself up to the constable of the township and stated that he had killed his wife. His story is that while he was starting a fire in the kitchen stove about daylight on Tuesday morning, his wife appeared in the doorway with a revolver and fired at him, the ball passing through his overshirt and grazing the skin. He wrested the weapon from the woman and made her a target in turn. His first shot entered just below the right shoulder blade, passing through the lungs; the second entered the right breast; and the third, fired after she had randomized the hill and fallen on her face, took effect in the shoulder and passed through the arm to the elbow. The murderer left her where she had fallen and went to surrender himself. Their three children were in the house asleep, and knew nothing of the terrible scene being enacted. The above is the story told by Castorene at the inquest, and it appears that unfortunately there were no witnesses to the affair, although his examination before a Justice may be attended with further disclosures. As we have stated, the woman was of a very violent disposition, and in a quarrel she was ever ready to draw and use a deadly weapon. It is only a few months ago that she exchanged shots with a man named Harris, who she claimed was trespassing upon her A Respectful In the Anabim Gazette announce a meeting in steps for the organization Church.

According to the San Diego News, somebody at San Juan Capistrano has been buying a thousand sheep from somebody at San Luis Rey. This item is alarmingly vague. It is stated that G. Wiley Wells will enter into a partnership with Judge Brunson, of Los Angeles. Mr. Wells has represented Mississippi in Congress and has only lately been relieved as Consul at China. Captain A. H. Miller, of Los Angeles, announces in the city papers that he is a candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms of the Constitutional Convention. His military title will militate against his success. It will need at least a Brevet Brigadier-General to fill the office satisfactorily. Judge Sepulveda has rendered a decision in the case of private water claimants against the Water Commissioners of Los Nietos. An injunction had previously been served upon the commissioners, restraining them from using the water claimed by plaintiffs, and Judge Sepulveda's decision dissolves this restraining order. Much joy is felt by the farmers of that section, as their corn crops were suffering greatly for want of water. A boy thirteen years of age, living on the Brea ranch, near the Cahuenga, shot himself on Tuesday, while hunting rabbits. In lifting his shot-gun he drew it towards him muzzle foremost, and in this way the trigger was doubtless caught on some obstacle and the gun discharged. It contained a full charge of shot and a slug. This heavy charge taking effect in the boy's neck at such short range made a frightful wound, and caused death almost instantly. Mr. Jesus Yorba, a very respectable man, engaged in sheep husbandry, is under duress at present, in this town, because of insanity. His case is described to us as a sorrowful one, as he imagines himself the savior of mankind, and is quite demonstrative, so that several persons are required to keep him in bounds. He owns a band of sheep somewhere near the town. —San Diego News. Major Ben C. Truman, Postal Agent, was in town on Thursday evening. He has been making an inspection of the post offices in Southern California, and has succeeded in affecting many changes beneficial to the public. It is needless to say that he found the affairs of the Anaheim post office to be efficiently administered. Major Truman is proving himself to be one of the most energetic and capable officials that the Department has ever had on this coast. It is well-known by most of our readers that Arthur Ott has been seriously ill for the last three weeks with typhoid fever, and in consequence of which was unable to attend to any of his work. He has about forty acres in the Swamp and during his sickness the weeds came very near getting the best of the corn. But on last Monday morning Their three children were in the house sleep, and knew nothing of the terrible scene being enacted. The above is the story told by Castorene at the inquest, and it appears that unfortunately there were no witnesses to the affair, although his examination before a Justice may be attended with further disclosures. As we have stated, the woman was of a very violent disposition, and in a quarrel she was ever ready to draw and use a deadly weapon. It is only a few months ago that she exchanged shots with a man named Harris, who she claimed was trespassing upon her pasture. Her reception of an Anaheim Deputy Sheriff, who went to serve some legal papers on her, will be remembered by him as long as he lives. The assertion of her husband that he wrestled the revolver from her finds many doubts among those who remember her muscular physique. Santa Ana Items. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Mr. E. Hilton has returned from the San Bernardino mountains. He is gaining some in health. Our farmers are now generally engaged in threshing barley and oats. The area of corn planted this season in this settlement is estimated by competent judges to be 30 per cent. greater than ever before. It has been noticed once during a residence of three years, that Lawyer Pierson made one quick motion, but he apologized for it on the ground that he was "surprised into it." It don't cost anything to run over a Chinaman in Santa Ana, especially if you have Anaheim lawyers to defend you. "It is against every principle of mechanism for a witness to see a horse waver at a distance of 150 feet; therefore the witness lied." That was the argument that convinced the jury. It won't do for the Workingmen to think, as some of them seem to, that the last election in this county indicated the indorsement of any of Kearney's utterances: it only means that it was the only channel by which the people could repudiate the Democracy. The election of Gen. Howard only denotes the indorsement of his well known record as an anti-railroad-monopolist. He ran thirty votes ahead in this (San Joaquin) precinct alone on that account. Speaking of San Joaquin township reminds us of a fact not generally known, that the name of this township has been changed (for several months) from San Joaquin to Santa Ana township. Mr. D. H. Collins, of Gospel Swamp, raised one of the best crops of barley and oats on the mesa (the Allen tract) that we have seen in this part of the county. Major Ben C. Truman was in town last Monday, on business connected with his duties as Postal Agent for this coast. U.S. Marshal Dunlap was here last week on his way to Silverado. Nearly all of the transient business of the Santa Ana hotels is caused by the travel to and from that mining town. Mr. Gildimacher has received the iron front for his brick building. He has changed the original plans of the building to make it 60x92 feet in size, one story high. Thelan's new building on West and First streets (Palmer's Addition) is nearly completed. Mr. H. A.

He has about forty acres in the Swamp and during his sickness the weeds came very near getting the best of the corn. But on last Monday morning about twenty or twenty-five of his neighbors and friends were on the ground with hoes and plows and the way they made the weeds fly was a caution. By night there was scarcely a weed to be seen in that corn field. Certainly the participants in such deeds of kindness will receive their reward in the next world if not in this.—Santa Ana Times. Mr. T. D. Culter, blacksmith and wagon maker at Westminster, has invented a very ingenious contrivance which he calls the "Flexible Sun Shade." It is a buggy top, so made as to be capable of attachment to the seat of any wagon or carriage; it can be set at any angle, folds up compactly, and gives the wagon to which it is attached a finished appearance. It only costs $12.50. Mr. Culter also manufactures an all-iron buckboard which will outwear any other, and only costs $90 without the Flexible Sun Shade, and with it $100. He also manufactures 4-spring wagons for $200. Call at his shop in Westminster and you will find no difficulty in making a trade for any of the above articles. Wells, Fargo & Co. The following letters and packages remain uncalled for at Wells, Fargo & Co's Express: PACKAGES: Mrs. L. A. Hill, Dr. L. Crowder. LETTERS: Mrs. Wm. Baldwin, Niemans Agullar, Santa Cruz, Post Office Letter List. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: Cyrus M. DeLong, J. J. Snyder, A. M. Teldman, Miss Jane Willey, Thomas Shelly. The Hibernia Bank of San Francisco has reduced its interest to seven per cent per annum on loans of $5,000 and over, while it charges eight per cent on smaller sums. U. S. Marshal Dunlap was here last week on his way to Silverado. Nearly all of the transient business of the Santa Ana hotels is caused by the travel to and from that mining town. Mr. Gildimacher has received the iron front for his brisk building. He has changed the original plans of the building to make it 60x 92 feet in size, one story high. Thelan's new building on West and First streets (Palmer's Addition) is nearly completed. Mr. H. A. Ott is rapidly recovering from a severe attack of fever, in spite of fresh air, egg-nogg, milk-punch, beef tea, ice water and drunken doctors. Harry Jassen was dangerously poisoned a few nights ago by the bite or sting of a black spider or tarantula. He is not yet convalescent. In the case of the People vs. Fruit, the latter was fined and compelled to pay the costs besides. The bludgeon system of crushing don't pay any better than "t'other" way. Our town is nearly deserted on account of the exodus of our people to the seashore, the hot springs, and to Silverado. James G. Fair was registered at the Santa Ana hotel on the 22nd inst., and John P. Jones on the 24th. The Silverado mines will receive due attention from these competent gentlemen. If these mines prove as rich as some of the most sanguine suppose, it will date a new era in the prosperity of Santa Ana. The best road leading from the mines being eight miles nearer Santa Ana than any other shipping point, will make it the natural outlet for the products of Silverado. The champion "crusher," assisted by "Betsey," is now engaged in making pulp of the Herald and Times. The boys say they can stand off all such cattle from time to eternity. We had a call from your accomplished correspondent from Westminster, Mr. Torrey, and was sorry to learn that he contemplated leaving this part of California. May success ever attend him. It is now definitely ascertained that over $2200 of the assumed indebtedness of Spring school district has no legal existence. It is asserted by the legal representatives of the people that the parties who contracted this indebtedness are personally responsible for the same, and have the option of "pungling up" or going to jail. Mr. H. K. Snow informs us that 150,000 feet of lumber will arrive this week for his new lumber yard near the depot. Mrs. Sears' funeral cortege passed through here last Wednesday from Westminster. Mr. Ritchey, who is now threshing his barley, informs us that it turns out two-thirds of a crop. OCCASIONAL July 24th, 1878. A Respectful Protest. In the Anabem Gazette of July 20th is announced in Westminster to take steps for the organization of a Congregational Church. This meeting was held on the following Sunday, and the meeting was fully committed to each action. I was very kindly invited to be present, and would have much preferred to have laid before that meeting the views herein presented. But a severe cold disabled me both from attendance and from communication by writing. I use, therefore, the only way in which to make a respectful and fair protest to that proposed action. I must premise, first, that there is nothing official in this protest. When the lands in the colony limits were sold, the Superintendent resigned his position, and he is now just what he was when he came, simply a colonist with the others. Second, there is nothing personal in it. I have no private motives. The personal friends who have been so friendly heretofore may be assured of the continuance of friendly feeling on my part. I have no protest against them, but only against the results of their action. Third, there is nothing sectarian in it. It is not made in the interest of Presbyterianism, nor against Congregationalism, considered as the forms of two great sister churches in the world. The protest is against the organization of a Congregational Church in Westminster, under the present circumstances. When Rev. L. P. Webber founded Westminster, he invited Presbyterians and those that could sympathize with them to join him. The Methodists, Baptists, and Congregationalists who came here with his welcome in early days can testify how liberally he interpreted his own invitation. The intention was not for sectarianism, but to prevent those early sectarian divisions on minor points, which disfigure most small settlements, especially in the West, and which hinder true Christian work. No man that came at that time found fault with the spirit of the settlement they sought to join, but was rather glad to come in under that broad blue banner. The course of Mr. Webber's successor in office was in the same spirit. When the Methodist movement was first broached, it was publicly discouraged as a premature division of a very small body. But when, some time after, the rapid growth of the settlement seemed to admit of two churches, as not mutually destructive, but rather perhaps as mutually helpful, and with some real advantages in Christian work, the discouragement was not only withdrawn, but good will was freely expressed and a helping hand publicly held out. Our Methodist friends can testify that the spirit of the founding of Westminster was not sectarian. Concerning the License Ordinance. ANAHEIM, July 22, 1878. EDR. GAZETTE.—In a late issue of your paper I read a report of the last meeting of the Town Trustees, and among other business transactions by that venerable body, a proposition was reported to have been made to levy certain rather ponderous taxes not only on the peddler, but on all audacious traders having their places of business outside the limits of the sacred incorporation of Anaheim, who should venture to take orders for goods and deliver the same within the magic circle of the City of Poplars. When I read this proposed ordinance I confess I was somewhat startled. Indeed I began to doubt whether some trick had not been played on me by the newsboy. Surely this was not the GAZETTE I was reading! At least not the Anaheim GAZETTE! Surely these were not Trustees of any town of free America, in this nineteenth century at that! But there was no such mistake about it; what I read was a veritable report of the proceedings referred to, and our City Fathers are initiating an act which would belong rather to the middle ages than to this boasted age of liberty. I have read somewhere that in a by-gone century James Watt, the father of the steam engine, was prohibited from selling goods of his own manufacture in the city of Edinburg; but that was a long time since, and doubtless the present senators of that ancient metropolis are heartily ashamed of what their predecessors did, as we fondly hope some future Board of Trustees of this growing town will be of this ordinance, should it pass. But it may be fairly questioned whether the Board can erect this Chinese Wallaround Anaheim. Have they the right to say to the store-keepers of Westminster or Garden Grove: "You shall not deliver goods here?" That the ordinance would amount to prohibition does not admit of much question, seeing the tax is to be ten dollars per month, while merchants within the town limits pay from three to nine dollars per quarter. But the ordinance by which the Anaheim merchants are so jealously seeking protection for themselves is not only a prohibition against merchants outside, but must act as a severe restriction on the families of the town. It says to them: You shall not buy at Westminster or at Fairview, in Los Angeles nor in San Francisco; you must buy of us. How the Board is to carry out its ordinance, or rather in which cases the attempt is to be made, it would not be difficult to guess. To take action against a San Francisco firm and stop the delivery of the goods as they lie at the depot, might prove too expensive a game to our valiant Board, although we could... time found fault with the spirit of the settlement they sought to join, but was rather glad to come in under that broad blue banner. The course of Mr. Webber's successor in office was in the same spirit. When the Methodist movement was first broached, it was publicly discouraged as a premature division of a very small body. But when some time after, the rapid growth of the settlement seemed to admit of two churches, as not mutually destructive, but rather perhaps as mutually helpful, and with some real advantages in christian work, the discordagement was not only withdrawn, but good will was freely expressed and a helping hand publicly held out. Our Methodist friends can testify that the spirit of the founding of Westminster was not sectarian. But what are now the circumstances? There is barely room for the two existing churches. In a day of trouble, misunderstanding and grievance in the first church, the new movement would divide it to introduce a third. Shall then, all stay feeble? or shall one go to the wall? And if the one that goes to the wall under the pressure of the conflict be the Presbyterian, what has become of the original good faith with which the people, surrendering in some cases their great preferences, joined together to prevent this very conflict of sects? But it may be said the Presbyterians have had their day and failed. This division, it is true, finds the Presbyterians cast down. As to the causes that have led to this sad result, I am careful not to say a word. But is this the chosen time when a chivalrous opponent thrusts his rival to the wall? Is it fair, just, or kind to take advantage of stumbling steps? There is a point of honor involved here. If the division of the old church had become a sad necessity, the division should not be a sectarian division. The organization of another Presbyterian church was urged as a remedy which would not only meet all the demands of the case, but also open the way for reunion when time had wrought its usual changes, and so good faith and honor remained. But the organization of a Congregational Church could only lead to permanent divisions, both in church and society. But it is urged again in defense that the Presbytery would not recognize a second Presbyterian church here, that delay would endanger the new movement, which would leak away unless crystallized at once, and that the offenses of the old church made a new denomination a necessity for the sake of religion. To the first assertion I can only say that I believe the Presbytery would have given a fair and favorable hearing to the request. I believe it would be as clear-sighted to the interests involved as a Congregational council. It is rather honorable to the reputation of a Presbytery that it be supposed to be so strict in principle that it would rather suffer grievous harm in reputation and estate than seem to be lukewarm to its own child here. I haven’t better opinion of the good judgment of the Presbytery and not less of its honorableness. But now is there nobody willing to assert that a Congregational council will not recognize the new church on the obvious ground that its recognition would involve a damage to good faith, an intrusion on occupied ground, and the perpetration of schism? The Presbytery will recognize the new church as the least of two evils, and to open the way for reunion. But the Congregational council can only recognize it by making subtle distinctions on intrusions, and shutting its eyes to the process by which another’s child was cut up to form its members. The second assertion does not answer the plea made for delay. If the Presbytery should refuse to entertain the idea of a new Presbyterian church under any circumstances, then the way out to Congregationalism would be more fairly open. The new organization could have set itself to work Mr. Leonard has made a contract with Mr. Schindler for the brick work and excavations necessary for the foundation, which is to be finished on or before August 3d. The trustees will commence the boring of a well upon the lot immediately. The well will be bored down to the gravel, a distance of ninety or one hundred feet, so as to obtain a good flow of water from the lower strata. A tank and windmill will be erected at some future day. The building when completed will be one of the finest in the county, and the tastefully arranged school lot will be an ornament to the town and a source of pride to its citizens. The bonds of the School District were sold to Messrs. Perry and Woodworth, of Los Angeles, at par, half gold and half silver. The bonds are now in the hands of the County School Superintendent for his signature. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Messrs. Lockhart Bros are shipping fat sheep and hogs by McFadden’s steamer to San Francisco. They are taken on board at Newport. Some coal has commenced to move from the Black Star mines in heavy loads by long teams, crossing the river by way of bridge. We suggest to the good people of Anaheim that in locating a permanent road from Anaheim to the mines they go by way of bridge; from the bridge the way is clear and practicable on nearly a straight line due east to the picnic grounds. Heavy loaded teams must and will seek the bridge crossing. C. L. Wright and A. J.

GOODMAN AND RIMPAU Congregational church will not recognize new church on the obvious ground that its recognition would involve a damage to good faith, an intrusion on occupied ground, and the perpetration of schism? The Presbytery will recognize the new church as the least of two evils, and to open the way for reunion. But the Congregational council can only recognize it by making subtle distinctions on intrusions, and shutting its eyes to the process by which another's child was cut up to form its members. The second assertion does not answer the plea made for delay. If the Presbytery should refuse to entertain the idea of a new Presbyterian church under any circumstances, then the way out to Congregationalism would be more fairly open. The new organization could have set itself to work and prevented leakage until that point was settled. But the haste to bind all protesters against all the old church fast in the Congregational fold was surely a mistake. Finally, if, as is alleged, the attitude of the old church is a grief to religion, I cannot see how a remedy which violates the high-toned code of honor, which men of the world can hold, will recommend religion. It may often be right to expose and denounce an unwise action or a wrong temper as savoring of injustice or Phariseism. But it is one thing to denounce a Pharisee. It is quite another to assist in the spoiling of his goods and casting reproach upon his family. I therefore make this formal protest, partly to avoid personal misunderstanding, but mainly in vindication of honor and right, and not without hope of a better solution of our difficulties. ROBERT STRONG. A Rare Event. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Seibert gave a reception at their residence on Monday evening, the occasion being the twentieth anniversary of their marriage, or "China Wedding." The evidences of esteem and good will, in the shape of presents of chinaware, were abundant, so much so that there is now a dearth of delft on the shelves of the stores in Anaheim. A very large circle of friends were present to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Seibert; and if they did not wish them "many happy returns of the day," they heartily did wish that the five years which will intervene before the silver wedding is reached will be to them a period unclouded with aught that can cause a single pang of regret. The evening passed pleasantly in social conversation, and many a witty mot and merry jest was made. Excellent music, vocal and instrumental, was discouraged during the evening by several ladies and gentlemen.

For several long weeks I was confined to my house, and upon my first attempt to pursue my trade—that of Carpenter—I overtaxed my strength and suffered a relapse. My physician now informs me that it is impossible for me, because of my injuries, ever to resume the occupation which I have followed nearly all my life. Accordingly, I must resume the trade I first learned, and which I followed for four years, viz., that of Barber, Hair-dresser, and Wig-maker. I have leased for a term the establishment of Prof. Dean, and have succeeded to his Business. I respectfully ask the patronage of my friends in my new business, and in doing so I take the opportunity to add that I feel deeply grateful for the extreme liberality and patronage accorded me when pursuing the calling I am now forced to abandon. In addition to the barber business I will continue that of section and undertaker. In the latter capacity I will keep on hand as fine a stock as heretofore. I desire to call especial attention to the fact that I have been appointed sole agent for the White Bronze Monuments, the best and clearest graveyard monument made. I have a brick showing designs and prices, and have also a sample of the mineral, which I will acquire in sending to all who may desire. ANAHEIM Drug Store IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE LARGE DEPOSITS OF Gold and Silver lately discovered in the mountains close to Anaheim, the proprietors of the Anaheim Drug Store have made arrangements with an eminent Germain Chemist from the University of Leipsic to take charge of the Anaheim Drug Store, so many years successfully carried on by Herman Blanken, Esq.
