ADVERTISE IN THE SEMI-WEEKLY GAZETTE. The suit of the Anaheim Water Company vs. Amos Wright et al. has been set for trial in the District Court on Thursday, September 12th. Witnesses, attorneys and others interested will please take notice. Mr. N. Willard left Anaheim yesterday, with the intention of locating in Redding, Shasta county, where a business opening awaits his acceptance. Mr. Willard made many friends during his residence in Anaheim. Judge Stephens has committed to the Insane Asylum Mary Donnelly, of Los Angeles. Her attempts to imitate our Saviour in fasting forty days were not successful, she only resisting the temptation to eat for three or four days. Mr. Con Howe was in town yesterday, and handed us the notice of his father's death. He had just finished a house in Garden Grove for his father's occupancy when the sad news of the old gentleman's death was received. Mr. R. Luedke has been appointed agent of the celebrated Elgin watches, as will be seen by the advertisement in which the cagle occupies such a conspicuous position. Mr. Luedke will keep a large stock of these watches on hand, and also a good assortment of clocks and jewelry. On Saturday last the Anaheim Water Company sold $130 worth of water—more with one exception, than has ever been sold at one time. The exception occurred last year, when the day's receipts were swollen by the purchase of $50 worth of water by the North Anaheim Canal Company. Mr. T. A. Darling, railroad agent at this point, secured a leave of absence a short time ago, and in pursuit of health and incidentally wealth; he repaired to the Santiago mountains. Not only has he gained much in health, but he is sanguine that several of his silver discoveries will eventually place him in the category of wealthy men. We rejoice at his good fortune. Superintendent E. E. Hewitt came down on the excursion train on Sunday, and was warmly welcomed. Martin Wetzel also came to renew old acquaintances. Good "wittles" and good nature have made Martin eligible to membership in the Fat Men's Club. Mr. Frank Murtha, ex-Mayor of Cabazon, also paid us his devoirs. We are sorry to learn that Cabazon has been disincorporated. The Golden Era, San Francisco by J. M. Motor of the Los Angeles contained several artificial soundness of the Bank of Los Angeles. In malice and not the purpose of the attacks. A paired among the business denouncing the attack pressing their belief in them. Among the business Board of Supervisors following: Ordered that he be drawn on the General for $508 16 on the (District formerly Landing) for money perty tax from the town incorporation. The Los Angeles contains an editorial in the towns in this city references to Anaheim untruthful, and co-written by any one in this town or its surroundings. One of the incidents was the advent of a plied their vocation garden. "Chuck" played, and although of betting was kept the stakes were genial. A linen coat, Hartung, was taken Sunday. In the past some sheets of musk took the coat is well he will return the new Boston Advertiser to be felt in the Californias it is impossible to get kept locked up in a bibton, and there are by Bad management WEEKLY ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1878. Meeting of the Water Company. At the general meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company, held on Saturday, the Secretary read the following proposed amendments: That each acre or fraction of an acre represent a share. That each acre or share now represented in the Anaheim Water Company shall be credited at $3. That all shares hereafter subscribed shall pay $3, together with all assessments which may be levied from and after this date. That no more than 2000 shares shall be issued at present, and not more until it is proven that a larger area of land can be irrigated with the regular water supply. The above amendments will be voted on a week from next Saturday. Notice was also given to amend section 5 of article 6, to read as follows: The trustees shall have power to create a debt, subject to the approval of two-thirds of the stockholders. Mr. R. W. Scott was appointed a committee of one to draw up an agreement and contract with a representative of the Cajon Company. As soon as the agreement is drawn up and approved by the Cajon Company, a meeting of the Anaheim Water Company will be called to ratify it. It was suggested to us the other day, by a member of the Los Angeles Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, that there were perhaps sufficient eligible men in Ana- A LOCAL MENAGERIE. The Anaheim Zoological Gardens. Probably the majority of our readers are not aware that among the other attractions of Anaheim is a collection of birds and animals sufficiently numerous to be dignified by the name of menagerie. The owner of these birds of the air and beasts of the field is Mr. Charles Hille, and had he loved animals less and notoriety more, his collection would be more widely known than it is. He has gathered together these furred and feathered pets just for the satisfaction their presence affords him; and great indeed must be his liking for them to induce him to bestow upon the creatures so much care and attention. The menagerie is in the rear of the Anaheim bakery, and is a cool, inviting place, shaded by large vine-covered arbors, from which the luscious grapes hang in tempting clusters. Scattered throughout the garden are the cages which contain the animals, whose sleek, satisfied and well-fed appearance makes it apparent that captivity does not interfere seriously with their digestion. As the visitor enters the garden, the first thing to attract his attention are the monkeys, not because monkeys are particularly agreeable to look at, but because they are vociferous and noisy in their demands for recognition. These are very intelligent looking animals, and have not the scrawny, repulsive look characteristic of the circus monkey. They evidently enjoy being looked at, and A GREAT THRONG. The Picnic on Sunday An ovation to the Anaheim Fire Department. About 11 o'clock on Sunday morning a daily decorated locomotive pulled into Anaheim depot, with five cars literally jammed and packed with excursionists. They were received by a delegation of firemen and citizens, and, after the usual greetings, were conveyed to town in the carriages waiting to receive them. The throng, however, was so much greater than was expected, that most of the conveyances returned to the depot and brought a second load of passengers to town. The excursionists consisted of fifty-five members of Confidence Engine Company, sixty members of Thirty-eights Engine Company, twenty-five members of the Los Angeles Guards, twenty-five members of the Turnverein, the Los Angeles band, and citizens of our neighboring city. A great many ladies accompanied the party, and all arrived in the best of spirits and with a determination to enjoy the day. In addition to the excursionists from Los Angeles, twenty-eight members of Wilmington Hook and Ladder Company came over in carriages from Wilmington, some of them bringing their wives and families. Quite a number from Santa Ana and other towns also helped to swell the throng, and it is probable that the visitors numbered about seven or eight hundred, not including "children in arms." A greater scene of animation has never been seen on the streets of Anaheim than shall have power to create a debt, subject to the approval of two-thirds of the stockholders. Mr. R. W. Scott was appointed a committee of one to draw up an agreement and contract with a representative of the Cajon Company. As soon as the agreement is drawn up and approved by the Cajon Company, a meeting of the Anaheim Water Company will be called to ratify it. —It was suggested to us the other day, by a member of the Los Angeles Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, that there were perhaps sufficient eligible men in Anaheim to organize a successful Post. The organization is a secret one, non-political in its character, and benevolent in its objects. All who served in the Union army during the rebellion are entitled to membership, and if there are enough such here desirous of forming a Post, they should write to their comrades in Los Angeles for instructions in regard to the steps necessary to be taken. Ten members are required before a Post can be chartered, and there are probably more than that within the town limits. —In our advertising columns will be found the notice of the dissolution of the firm of Cahen & Willard. Mr. Cahen will hereafter conduct the business alone, and he has reason to expect a continuance of the generous patronage heretofore enjoyed by the firm. During his late visit to San Francisco he purchased a full assortment of goods, and his choice lot of ladies' shoes and men's hats are particularly worthy of mention. Mr. Cahen will continue to receive regular invoices of fresh goods, and will from time to time make announcement of their arrival. We wish him a long and prosperous business career. —On Sunday morning a gentleman approached Mr. H. L. Paty and offered him $150 for one of his fine mares. The offer was refused, Mr. Paty saying that he would sell the mare and its mate for $300. A short time after he had occasion to go to the corral where his animals were, and he found the mare, which he had just been offered $150 for, with her leg broken. In playing with the other horses, she had received a kick, with the result noted. As the animal was a great favorite with Mr. Paty, he had the leg set and bandaged, although even if the animal recover it will be worthless for his use. —Dr. Ellis showed us yesterday some views of his Sanitorium, taken by Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Two of the views are of the exterior of the building, and the other two are of the richly furnished rooms. The Dr. will have one hundred of these views mounted on heavy card-board, and an advertisement of the Sanitorium and of Anaheim printed on the margin. These he will have posted up in conspicuous places in San Francisco and elsewhere. They will draw a great deal of attention to the Sanitorium and to this locality. —The Golden Era, a paper published in San Francisco by J. M. Bassett, a former editor of the Los Angeles Herald, has of late cluttered throughout the gallery are the cages which contain the animals, whose sleek, satisfied and well-fed appearance makes it apparent that captivity does not interfere seriously with their digestion. As the visitor enters the garden, the first thing to attract his attention are the monkeys, not because monkeys are particularly agreeable to look at, but because they are vociferous and noisy in their demands for recognition. These are very intelligent looking animals, and have not the scrawny, repulsive look characteristic of the cirens monkey. They evidently enjoy being looked at, and seem to try to surpass each other in feats of agility for the enjoyment of their audience. Chained in one corner is a very fine specimen of the California fox. Long confinement has made him quite tame, and he permits his keeper to handle him without molestation. Rabbits there are without number, of high and low degree. There is one very pretty white one, his coat long and silky, and having red eyes. Probably the most interesting of all the animals are the Guinea pigs, of which there are about a dozen. These little animals are very gentle, pretty and clean, and it is a real pleasure to see them frisking about in reckless abandon. It is not generally known that in some parts of Europe the Guinea pig is valued more for his curative properties than for anything else. It is said that if a rheumatic person keeps one of them in his room, his malady will disappear, rheumatism and Guinea pigs being uncongenial. Next to carrying a potato in one's pocket, we suppose the pig cure is the most efficacious. A native owl winks dolorously in his cage. A forlorn looking bird at best, he has not been made more sprightly by being cooped up in a cage. A large California lion grows defiance from the next cage. Confinement has not sweetened his temper, or made him hanker less for a mouthful of human flesh. A wild goose walks sedately about the yard, and never a word quacks he. Mr. Hille has for many years been engaged in raising canary birds, and he has now a very fine lot. He informs us, however, that during the past year the birds have not increased as much as they generally do, for reasons which he cannot explain. Those who have owned canaries know that as a general rule they are very tender, and require an extraordinary amount of care. It has been noticed, however, that canaries raised here are much more hardy and longer-lived than those brought from a distance. The natives appear to be acclimated, and will thrive under conditions which would be fatal to the imported bird. A year or so ago Mr. Hille had two pure white mocking-birds, something extremely rare. Their fame reached San Francisco, and a bird fancier made a special trip to Anaheim to purchase them. But two days before his arrival they died from improper food given them by a careless attendant. The San Francisco man said he would have given $100 for them. Of cats and dogs there are legions, but as ladies accompanied the party, and all arrived in the best of spirits and with a determination to enjoy the day. In addition to the excursionists from Los Angeles, twenty-eight members of Wilmington Hook and Ladder Company came over in carriages from Wilmington, some of them bringing their wives and families. Quite a number from Santa Ana and other towns also helped to swell the throng, and it is probable that the visitors numbered about seven or eight hundred, not including "children in arms." A greater scene of animation has never been seen on the streets of Anaheim than was presented at noon. The brilliant uniforms of the firemen, the hurry and bustle of preparation for the procession, the measured trail of the Guards, the hoarse shouts of the foremen speaking through their trumpets, and the clash of music, was a little bewildering to the buccolie mind, all unused to such displays. When the men were strung out in line ready for the procession, it can be readily imagined that the spectacle was a brilliant one. At the head of the procession walked C.E.Miles, Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, Geo.E.Gard, Assistant Chief, and D.Nagle, Foreman of the Anaheim Company. The following order was then observed: Los Angeles Band. Guards. Turners. Anaheim Fire Company. Wilmington Hook and Ladder Company. Thirty-eights Engine Company. Anaheim Band. Confidence Engine Company. Hook and Ladder Truck. It is needless to observe that the truck was tastily decorated with a profusion of flowers and evergreens. On arriving at the Tivoli Gardens, a fine lunch was served, after which dancing and games were indulged in with a zest and heartiness which showed real enjoyment. During the afternoon the Turners gave a fine exhibition of their skill on the horizontal and parallel bars. The committee of arrangements had performed their duties admirably, and every member of the Anaheim Fire Company exerted himself to insure enjoyment to their guests. That their efforts were successful is attested by the following CARD OF THANKS. On behalf of the Los Angeles Guards, I desire to thank the Anaheim Fire Department and the citizens of Anaheim generally for their warm reception and the cordial hospitality extended to us on the excursion which took place Sunday September 1st. I can only say that the Guards will be happy to reciprocate on some future occasion. CAPT.P.M.DARcy. Commanding Los Angeles Guards. The sentiments expressed in the above were cordially concurred in by members of the Fire Companies. The excursion train returned to Los Angeles at a little after six o'clock, after many expressions of goodwill and esteem had been made by members of the different organizations. The total receipts of the day amounted to exterior of the building, and the other two are of the richly furnished rooms. The Dr. will have one hundred of these views mounted on heavy card-board, and an advertisement of the Sanitorium and of Anaheim printed on the margin. These he will have posted up in conspicuous places in San Francisco and elsewhere. They will draw a great deal of attention to the Sanitorium and to this locality. The Golden Era, a paper published in San Francisco by J. M. Bassett, a former editor of the Los Angeles Herald, has of late contained several articles attacking the financial soundness of the Farmers' & Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles. It is claimed that personal malice and not the public good is the motive of the attacks. A paper is now being circulated among the business men of Los Angeles denouncing the attacks on the Bank, and expressing their belief in its soundness. Among the business transacted by the Board of Supervisors on Monday was the following: Ordered that a warrant for $127,04 be drawn on the General Fund and a warrant for $508,16 on the Anaheim Road Fund (District formerly known as Anaheim Landing) for money collected for road property tax from the town of Anaheim after its incorporation. The Los Angeles Herald of yesterday contains an editorial article on the growth of the towns in this end of the county. The references to Anaheim are grossly unfair and untruthful, and could never have been written by any one in the least familiar with this town or its surroundings. One of the incidents of the excursion was the advent of a couple of gamblers, who plied their vocation on the outskirts of the garden. "Chuck-a-luck" was the game played, and although a pretty steady stream of betting was kept up during the afternoon, the stakes were generally small. A linen coat, belonging to Mr. Fred Hartung, was taken from the pavilion on Sunday. In the pocket of the coat was some sheets of music. The individual who took the coat is welcome to the garment if he will return the music. Boston Advertiser: Much interest is said to be felt in the California wines in Paris, but it is impossible to get a drop, for they are kept locked up in a glass case at the Exhibition, and there are no samples to test them by. Bad management. An average of six and one-half tons of coal are brought into Anaheim from the Black Star mine every day. It would seem as if this ought to be sufficient to supply the local demand, but such is not the case. It is all the company can do to fill the orders for coal within a reasonable time after application is made. The fact is that nearly all our wine growers and distillers are using coal, and it is also being used extensively in private houses. Wood cannot compete with coal as a fuel. Coal is $8 per ton; wood one foot in length, ranges from $10 to $11 per cord, and a ton of coal is fully equal to a cord of wood. Not only is there a great saving in money, but for domestic use coal is much more convenient, giving a steadier and better heat, and the housewife who once gives it a trial will never discard it. The addition of a grate to the cooking stoves in general use, so as to adapt them to coal, costs only a dollar or two, and the saving on the first ton of coal will more than pay for the grate. Since Wednesday's paper was issued there have been very gratifying developments at the Black Star mine. As the work of drifting progresses, it is found that the coal keeps on improving in quality. This, of course, was to be expected, but it is none less pleasant to have the expectations confirmed. Natives appear to be acelimated, and will thrive under conditions which would be fatal to the imported bird. A year or so ago Mr. Hille had two pure white mocking-birds, something extremely rare. Their fame reached San Francisco, and a bird fancier made a special trip to Anaheim to purchase them. But two days before his arrival they died from improper food given them by a careless attendant. The San Francisco man said he would have given $100 for them. Of cats and dogs there are legions, but as Mr. Fischer is now assessing, we will not mention them. Mr. Richards' parrot has also found an appropriate home here, and the biggest tarantula you ever saw is neatly packed in alcohol. As Mr. Hille is constantly adding to his collection, it will not be longer his menagerie will assume proportions sufficiently large to justify him in getting a tent and exhibiting "Hille's Last Sensation," throughout the country. A Brisk Demand for Coal. An average of six and one-half tons of coal are brought into Anaheim from the Black Star mine every day. It would seem as if this ought to be sufficient to supply the local demand, but such is not the case. It is all the company can do to fill the orders for coal within a reasonable time after application is made. The fact is that nearly all our wine growers and distillers are using coal, and it is also being used extensively in private houses. Wood cannot compete with coal as a fuel. Coal is $8 per ton; wood one foot in length, ranges from $10 to $11 per cord, and a ton of coal is fully equal to a cord of wood.

The addition of a grate to the cooking stoves in general use, so as to adapt them to coal, costs only a dollar or two, and the saving on the first ton of coal will more than pay for the grate. Since Wednesday's paper was issued there have been very gratifying developments at the Black Star mine.* As the work of drifting progresses, it is found that the coal keeps on improving in quality. This, of course, was to be expected, but it is none less pleasant to have the expectations confirmed. Capt. P. M. Darcy. Commanding Los Angeles Guards. The sentiments expressed in the above were cordially concurred in by the members of the Fire Companies. The excursion train returned to Los Angeles at a little after six o'clock, after many expressions of goodwill and esteem had been made by the members of the different organizations. The total receipts of the day amounted to $369 35. This will leave a handsome profit for the company. The following is a list of the active members of the Anaheim Fire Company: D. Nagle, H. Cohn, O. R. Luedke, G. Rust, H. Riepe, J. Backs, H. Schwarts, C. E. Wenger, N. A. Bittner, F. J. Dalton, John Ey, A. Riepe, D. R. Payne, F. Backs, B. H. Wright, F. Riepe, R. Bohn, A. C. Rocques, F. J.

Foy's shop, Brocker & Reinhold's furniture establishment, and damaged H. H. Whalley's liquor store. Water's loss is $8000; insured for $5000 in the Home Company of New York.

Considerable attention has been turned to this subject in Michigan of late, owing to the greatly increased use of willow-ware. Hard before most of the ware made in and around Detroit has been made from wild willow cut from the adjacent swamps, but fiber work finds a more ready market, and there is an increasing demand for cultivated willows. A few words, therefore, about the kind of soil and the way to put them out, how they should be cultivated and when and how harvested, will not be out of place. The soil should be rich, deep, and low, but not so low as to be subject to standing water. Such soil is found on almost every farm in the lower parts, which are seldom used for any purpose except to harvest the marsh grass for litter or bedding. The ground should be prepared as for any other crop, being left as light as possible to facilitate the sticking of the cuttings, which should be eight or nine inches long, and are cut from the canes beginning at the butt and cutting up as long as the cane is strong enough to bear being pushed into the ground. The best way to get cuttings is to buy green willows, just off the field, in bales, and cut them yourself. In this way cuttings may be had for twenty-five cents a thousand, whereas, if you buy them ready cut from the nursery, they cost you two dollars. The two varieties most in use are French Purple Osier and the Kentucky Green. The The image contains a page from a historical newspaper with advertisements and notices. The headlines are in bold, and the content is organized into columns. **Top Section:** - Advertisement for a company named "Ladder Company." - Description of their services, including carriage work and nursery care. **Middle Section:** - A list of items available from the company, such as grape-growers, nursery equipment, and tools. - Contact information for the company. **Bottom Section:** - Interesting topics related to grape-growing, including a description of a vineyard and its operations. The text is in English and appears to be from a 19th-century newspaper. It includes advertisements for the ladder company, details about their services, and lists of products they offer. There are also sections discussing the company's history and its operations in the field of agriculture. The Osaka Nippo says: The silver mine at Ikuno, province of Tajima, was prospected by the Government in the first year of Meijji (1868), and seemed most promising. Mr. Coignet, a mining engineer then in the Government service, prognosticated that the seam would not give out before 1000 years had elapsed; consequently splendid buildings were erected, a carriage road ri in length was made, and the expenses were in fact so great that it is hard to say how many millions of yen have been spent on the mine. The year before last the mine was formally opened in the presence of the Minister of Public Works who went there from Tokio, and the general impression was that when once the works were commenced the whole country would be highly benefited. But at the commencement of this year the seam gave out entirely and it is now said that Mr. Coignet, before leaving this country, told a certain person that the mine was quite hopeless. If this be really the case, it is a hard blow for our country. A man named James Harris entered the store of Frankel Brothers on Wednesday last, and threatened to fire the premises. A warrant of arrest was procured and the man brought before Judge Williams, who, after a brief examination, became satisfied that Harris was demented, and sent him before the County Judge. That officer will doubtless have the man examined by physicians as to his saneness. We understand that this is the same individual who, some time since, reported that he had committed a horrible murder in Artesia, and set our officers upon a fruitless search.—Downey Courier. Ex-Gov. Haight died in San Francisco on Monday from heart disease. Out of the Ruins. A quarter of a century ago there was a memorable conflagration at Sacramento City, California, by which the entire business portion of the city was laid in ashes. When the great fire was at its maximum fury a wealthy merchant named McNulty, who owned some of the heaviest business establishments in the city, gazed for a few moments upon the work of destruction, and then instead of folding his hands and weeping over the disaster, he went to the nearest livery stable, hired a fleet-footed horse, rode like John Gilpin during the remainder of the night, and before daylight the next morning had purchased every foot of lumber and every saw mill at Grass Valley and Nevada City. There is, possibly, no human being on earth who would think of running off by the light of his burning property in order to literally make his fortune out of a disaster, except an American. McNulty did so, however, and almost immediately realized out of the sale of his lumber fourfold as much money as he had lost by the great fire.—Grass Valley Union. A Speculative Coroner. A Public Administrator of California who owns the doubly appropriate name of Dye has confessed to murdering a man in order that the murderer might officially administer the estate of the murdered and get some $3,000 fees. In all its past annals of municipal misdoings New York never came nearer to such a miscreant than when in 1853 it presented for instant removal by the Governor a Coroner whose subordinate was charged with towing the same bodies from pier to pier and causing them to be sat upon on different occasions so as to accumulate faeces.—N. Y. World. The great demand of the day is for Kearney to go over to Berlin and denounce William and Biscmark as hell-lawed thieves and madnight robbers. A liberal collection could be taken up to pay his expenses.—Alta.
