WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...AUGUST 31, 1878 Church Meetings. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. REGULAR services at 11 A.M. and 7:20 P.M. Sunday School 10 A.M. Meeting for practice in Congregational singing and for Bible study, on Wednesday at 7:20 P.M. PISCOPAL CHURCH. REV. A. G. L. TREW, Pastor. Regular services every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Sunday School at 2 P.M. Afternoon services at 2:20 P.M. Financial. The following quotations are furnished to the Gazette by the bank of Anaheim: Gold—Buying, P. selling, 11 Greenbacks—Buying 90%; selling 100. Kleinigkeiten. —Will "S" reply to his traducers? Or is he annihilated? —In the case of Thistlewaite vs. Taylor et al (dispute in regard to a mining claim) a jury was demanded by plaintiff, and the case has been set for Monday, Sept. 2. —Mr. Charles S. Miles returned to Anabeim on Friday night from his four month's visit to the East. He was accompanied by his mother, both being in the best of health. —On Thursday evening Mr. Victor Montgomery received his commission as Notary Public, to reside at Anaheim. This fills the vacancy caused by the resignation of J. W. Clark. —The S. P. R. R. Company have served notice on the McFadden Bros. owners of the steamer Newport, that they intend to apply for an injunction to prevent the McFaddens from using the wharf at Wilmington as a landing for their steamer. The McFadden Bros. desire the people of Los Angeles to build a tramway from that city to Wilmington. They say that such a road can be built for $30,000. —The reason given by the Railroad Company for its proposed abandonment of Santa Monica is that the wharf piles have been so eaten by the terredo and other ocean worms that the structure is insecure. To put it in repair would involve an expenditure of The Picnic To-morrow. The excursion train will leave Los Angeles at 9 A.M. sharp, and will arrive in Anaheim at 10 or a little after. There will probably be four cars of excursionists, and it is expected that all who can will be at the depot with their teams on the arrival of the train and convey the firemen's guests to town. The large building opposite the Gazette office has been kindly tendered to the Fire Company by Messrs. P. & J. Backs, for their use to-morrow, and the truck will be housed there and the procession will start from that point in the following order: Marshal. Anabeim Brass Band. Los Angeles Guards. Turners. Los Angeles Brass Band. 38's Engine Company. No. 2 Engine Company. Hose Company. Anabeim Fire Company. Truck. Honorary Members Anabeim Fire Department. The procession will be from the place stated down Centre street to the Tivoli Gardens'. Arrived at the Gardens, a fine lunch will be served. This lunch will be something tempting, and many prodigious gastronomic feats are expected to be performed. Several speeches will then be made, members of the Los Angeles Turnverein will exhibit their skill, the Los Angeles Guards will exhibit their proficiency in military drill, and the half hundred games which the Anabeim firemen have made preparations for will be inaugurated. Dancing will be indulged in at the pavilion, the music being furnished by the Los Angeles' and Anabeim bands. This order of exercises is, of course, subject to such modifications as the Committee of Arrangements shall consider best for the comfort and amusement of their guests. A Relief Entertainment. The daily papers are filled with appeals to the benevolent and other associations for contributions for the relief of the fever-stricken people of the South. The dreadful plague now raging there entails not only death, but privation and destitution. Business of all understand that it吭led of increasing work and it's soon poised till "the sheaves are."

The ladies of the Presbytery their next social in tine The reason given by the Railroad Company for its proposed abandonment of Santa Monica is that the wharf piles have been so eaten by the terredo and other ocean worms that the structure is insecure. To put it in repair would involve an expenditure of $30,000, and it is estimated that this cost for repairs would have to be incurred every three years. Although the wharf will be abandoned, every effort will be made to continue Santa Monica in favor as a summer resort. The name of the Chinaman killed at Jefferson's farm on Sunday was Loah Tuck, and his murderer was named Lin Sin Ock. An exchange says that the murdered man was well known to the police of Los Angeles, and was considered a very hard case, having served out a long sentence in the chain gang, for the theft of a pair of pants. He had a vicious eye and sinister cast of countenance, and, if we remember rightly, wore no queue, having been deprived of this mark of Chinese uprightness, no doubt, in some former punishment. Mr. Anderson's letter to the Rural Press, which we copy, suggests a new crop which gives promise of being a paying one. Sumac grows in a dry, sandy, poor soil, requires no irrigation, and if it possesses the tanning properties claimed for it a large and profitable market could easily be opened for that grown in this county. Mr. Anderson has put the native sumac, which grows in such wild profusion in the country about Anaheim, to the most severe tests, and the results have been gratifying. In a few weeks the Anaheim Tannery will turn out a lot of leather, in the manufacture of which native sumac has been used, and then its value will be demonstrated beyond question. It is reasonable to suppose that the Sicily sumac will grow well here, and probably under the favorable conditions here presented, be an improvement on the native sumac. A correspondent of the Express, who is one of the excursionists to San Francisco, says: In your issue of Friday last I think you have done the Southern Pacific Railroad an injustice in regard to the excursion to this city. In conversation with A. N. Towne, General Ticket Agent of the Railroad, last Saturday evening, he said that he was pleased to see so large a delegation of Los Angeles citizens here, and that he would do all in his power to make it pleasant and agreeable for us. After the two cars were filled in Los Angeles last Friday, there were quite a number unable to procure excursion tickets, and they were forced to buy the regular tickets, paying $23 for a single fare. I would beg to state that Mr. Towne has refunded to all those who have applied to him the $4 over-funded and furnished them with return tickets. A Relief Entertainment. The daily papers are filled with appeals to the benevolent and other associations for contributions for the relief of the fever-stricken people of the South. The dreadful plague now raging there entails not only death, but privation and destitution. Business of all kinds is suspended, and the poorer classes, among whom the fever seems to work with greater virulence, are altogether dependent upon charity for the care and attention required. Contributions are flowing in from every hamlet in the country, and Anaheim also proposes to contribute its mite. Messrs J. C. Langendorfer and V. Montgomery have been appointed a committee to get up an entertainment on Tuesday evening, the proceeds to go to the relief of the fever sufferers. The entertainment will be given at Magnolia Hall. Speeches will be made, a number of declarations and songs will be given, and there will be an abundance of instrumental music. The entertainment will conclude with "The Skidmore Guards." The admission is ten cents. Let there be a roaring attendance, so that Anaheim's contribution shall be a substantial one. A box has been placed at the postoffice, so that the charitably disposed can place their contributions therein. The money so collected will be forwarded along with the proceeds of the entertainment. That Sum. EDITOR GAZETTE.-The little problem you published a short time ago seems to call forth a variety of answers and solutions from our local mathematicians. If a boy spends § of 9-10 of his money, what part of 9-10 of his money has he left? Many give for the answer §, and the one who signs "S," explains the question, giving 27-80 as the result of his labors on the problem, and adds, "that's kind of mathematician he is." Though I do not wish to dispute the arithmetic of any one, I must say that I am quite a different "kind of mathematician" and ask you to receive my solution of the boy's wealth. It is this: He spends § of 9-10 which equals 9-16 of his whole money. The whole being 16-16 he would have left 7-16 of the whole and 7-16 is that part of 9-10 as 9-10 is contained in 7-16 which is 35-72 and the answer as I solve it. The sum can be clearly proven by letting 80 cents represent the small man's coin. EDITOR GAZETTE.-I see by the Gazette of the 24th inst., that "S." disputes the correctness of my solution to the example of the week previous. I beg leave to convince him of the correctness of my solution. If he had $100 and would deposit in the Anaheim bank $10 he would have $90 or 9-10 left. § of $90: $56.25. $90 minus $56.25 leaves a remainder of $33.75. What part of $90 is $33.75? It is 33.75-90.00 or §, my former answer, which is correct. If "that is the kind of a mathematician" that "S" is, he had better come to the Santa Ana school a while, and take a few lessons in arithmetic before he exposes his ignorance through the newspapers.

PAULINE WEIGHT. Santa Ana Public School. Orangethorpe Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Our school opened last week; had a pleasant beginning but rather light attendance so far. The already pretty school property has been further beautified by a row of locust trees set out on the front; a fact suggestive of the deep interest in the school felt and manifested by the trustees and other members of the community. There is little of stirring interest to the general reader, occurring in this neighborhood at the present time. It is a season of busy and earnest labor. The horizon is dim with the smoke of the steam thresher; every place is being, has been, or is about to be threshed, and the cheerful music of industry goes up from the toiling sons of the harvest. Here the melon season has reached its acune and the tongue cannot sing its conquests in tasting the crimson and golden beauties of a semi-tropical "melon patch." Many thanks to our kind-hearted neighbors who have so thoughtfully contributed to the pleasure of a sojourner, for a time, among them. The Rev. Clayton preaches in the Orange-thorpe school house on the first Sunday of each month. The Sunday school meets every Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. Its past success and its future hopes are closely linked to the name of its present superintendent, Mr. A Guy Smith. This gentleman, ably assisted by his lady and several of the resident ladies, has zealously and successfully maintained the work in this place. We earnestly hope that their efforts may be continued and well sustained, as the Sunday School is a powerful lever in the hands of the Church to restrain, modify and shape the moral character and usefulness of a community. The Orangethorpe Literary Society is not in active operation at the present time. We understand that it yielded to the pressure of increasing work and I’s meetings even postponed till “the sheaves are gathered in.” The grapes seem to be abundant on the vines of our neighborhood, but the peach trees are not very full; it is supposed that the force of the trees is turned principally to growth this year. The roads are dusty but the weather has not been unpleasant hot and we crave paradox if we suggest, without explaining, that it a trifle cooler out here than it is in Anaheim. More anon. Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Corn husking has begun. The present high prices are a stimulns to activity. Several improved varieties of corn, both white and yellow, are being tested. We shall have something to say of the Lawton corn from Ohio as soon as it is harvested. It is evidently very productive. The murder of a Chinaman by a fellow countryman on Mr. Gold’s place, has terrified other Chinese laborers in the vicinity, and will not lessen the public feeling that we would be better off without this irresponsible element in our midst. Their usual inoffensiveness cannot be always relied on, though for “barbarians and heathens” they are certainly a peaceful race. Mr. John Edwards has bargained for the forty acres lying northwest of his home. Price $650. As will be seen from his advertisement, he will rent his lands and stock for a dairy ranch. “Married in San Francisco, Aug. 22, by the Rev. Dr. Scott, Mr. S. H. Butterfield, of Los Angeles, to Miss Ida K. Wilcox, of New Orleans.” His friends here tender hearty congratulations. Mr. Oscar Mack has taken charge of the Alamitos school. The cheese factory at Garden Grove has begun operations. If successful, as there seems to be no reason to doubt, there will be a great increase of milch cows in this valley. Every sociable cow, and every flat pocket-book, wishes it success. Mr. Sherwood is proud of a wagon tongue and neck yoke made of blue gum. The latter was made of seasoned wood, and worked hard, and seems to be strong as hickory. The former was made some years ago from green wood, and though it is badly checked yet it is stiff and strong. Perhaps the boat plan would be to work the wood green and oil it to prevent checking. The Presbytery of Los Angeles adjourned on Saturday, feeling that it had strengthened and encouraged its church here by its meeting. The ladies of the Presbyterian Society hold their next social in tite hall Tuesday evening. Norwalk Deme. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The latter part of August is redeeming itself enjoyably from the uncomfortable opinion it compelled at its debut. Such delightful breeds, such nice cool mornings and evenings! Why, one would scarcely call it August; and especially after being fortified in one of the very warmest days of the warmest part of the month by the information (not from the oldest inhabitant) that August was always a very hot month all through and especially in this locality. Fruit grows here finely, to say naught of roses, vines and fig trees. Great delicious melons, peaches, and fine flavored apples, and grapes that seem to have stolen the amber gloss of the Southern California sun, are plentiful, showing that one needs only to plant in order to reap. Yes, cultivate. There are persons who think they need only to scratch up the surface of the ground or eat it up into soda, and place their seeds therein in order to reap the finest and best, as witness a cornfield not “ten thousand miles away” where the ground lies in huge dry cloos vainly having tried to send up a crop of corn to compete with other fields scarcely a quarter of a mile off, whose two and three and sometimes four cured stalks stand ten feet high on an average. (Actual measurements this time. Cloddy corn three and four feet high, one and two ears on the stalk, many with none.) Cloddy ground people are loud in their exclamations of “California is no place to make a living.” “No place to bring up a family.” “No chance to train them for anything but cattle and hog herding.” Contrast—A mile away from the above named corn patch,a farm,(ranch) with trees around the house, division line marked by trees; corrals,sheep,white wooled,round and happy looking. Cattle,everyone of’a picture;house unpretentious as yet but having hopes in the near future;people stirring, thrift and sure that California is the right place to live. Cause of difference in the two places—cultivation. Buried on Sunday,three months old child of Mr Justis,of New River.WILLMETTE. Apportionment of State School Funds. We are advised in a circular received from Hon Ezra S. Carr,State Superintendent of Public Instruction, that the apportionment of State moneys for the public schools of Los Angeles county has been made upon the following census as a basis,the amount being $1.01 for each child: LOS ANGELES COUNTY. Alameda .....138 Alamitos .....30 Anahiem .....345 Artesia .....112 "German Syrup." No other medicine in the world was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Bousher’s German Syrup. In three years two million four hundred thousand small bottles of this medicine was distributed free of charge by Druggists in this country to those afflicted with Consumption,Asthma,Croup,Severe Coughs,Pneumonia and other diseases of the throat and lungs,giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them.The result has been that Druggists in every town and village in the United States are recommending it to their customers.

The Presbytery of Los Angeles adjourned on Saturday, feeling that it had strengthened and encouraged its church here by its meeting. The ladies of the Presbyterian Society hold their next social in the hall Tuesday evening, Sept. 3. There will be good ice cream in abundance, the best of music, and a good social time. The "mite" will be taken at the door as usual. The Methodist social last Friday was a success as usual. The council called by the Congregational church met here last Saturday, and after mature deliberation voted to recognize the new church, with 34 members. Services were held on Sunday in the M.E. Church as announced last week. Monday they had a picnic at the Landing, a good dinner in the warehouse, and a happy time. Garden Grove Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. At last the cheese factory is completed and the work of cheese making has commenced in earnest. In a future communication I will give a detailed description of the building and machinery. I believe Mr. Hitchcock is now willing to purchase milk, to be paid for in cheese. The church is at last commenced. The frame is up and the roof about on. The window frames and windows will be put in soon, and the building will be ready for service in a short time. It is not decided as yet how near it will be completed before service is held in the church. But I understand that there is no intention of going into debt. The corn crop is beginning to ripen and some parties expect to commence shipping the small yellow in about three weeks. The threshers have about finished in this neighborhood although there are one or two large lots still to be threshed. The threshers belonging to T.C.Walker, F.Rogers & Co. and Brown and Avis are all at work on the mesa south of Westminster. The wheat and barley crops there are very good. As general thing the farmers have not made anything from their barley crops. This is accounted for last, because the damp weather caused the grain to fall down before it was ripe enough to head, and 2d, because the price has been so low that what grain was saved was hardly more than sufficient to pay the expense of harvesting. We all anticipate much better returns from the corn crop, which will be much larger and better than it was last year. A great many beans were planted and the yield promises to be very good. Some are already harvesting their crops. Castor beans are already being sent forward. "J.T." makes some poor puns about Howe and Cook, regarding an article in the Call about Garden Grove. The writer does not know who wrote the article, but the statements are substantially true. And every statement can be corroborated by facts, but one exception.

Some parties from Napa county who are visiting and who read the article in the Call say the account was not overdrawn. To be sure the land is spotted. Some is very poor and some is extraordinarily good. But as far as we have seen the same conditions prevail in other portions of Southern California, and it is very difficult to find a square mile of land in this section of the State that is all alike or all good. There is more or less alkali ground in every section of land, and this year as well as last the artesian wells have failed more or less at the very time they were most needed. Yet with all these drawbacks we are willing to have any one from any portion of California come and examine the country for themselves, and we will show them as thrifty and productive farms here as can be shown anywhere in the United States. Two and sometimes three crops a year are raised on the same piece of ground; and all good paying crops. Much of the land which was planted to barley has either been planted to corn or is now being planted to potatoes. Many of the farmers south of this settlement have been to the mines and are much elated with the prospect of making a rapid fortune in Silverado. Where one will make wages prospecting or buying claims, there will be fifty who will lose all the time and money invested. A residence of twenty-five years in California has taught the writer by dear-bought experience that "all is not gold that glitters," nor silver either, no nor even copper. A man who has a farm or any remunerative employment had much better stay at home and attend to his legitimate business, than to waste his time, money and energies in a new mining district; for ten to one they will amount to absolutely nothing. The writer sincerely hopes that now mines will be a second bonanza. It will bring more capital to the county than any other thing, will aid more in its development, will give the farmers a home market for all their products, and will multiply our population; but let men who have money to lose prospect the mines, and not men who cannot develop them even if they find a good one. —Louis Wilmet, a carpenter employed by the railroad company at Wilmington, had his leg broken by being crushed between the wharf and a floating pile.

Hogg, of Oregon, one of the largest land owners of the Pacific Coast and the most active in inducing immigration, arrived to-day, returning from a visit to his agent in Europe. He has travelled through Great Britain, Germany and France and predicts a small immigration during the coming year. Indian troubles have given Oregon and Idaho a bad reputation, while the labor difficulties have caused a widespread belief that this country is overflowing with laborers. He says the German authorities are particularly active in preventing immigration. Notice.
