When any of the station agents of the S. P. R. R. accept a counterfeit coin and forward it among their receipts to headquarters, the officials there cut it mostly into halves, return it to the sender, and charge him with the amount. This makes the agents keep a sharp lookout for the spurious, but with every precaution they get "nipped" once in a while. Our friend Mr. Smith, who has charge of the Anaheim depot during Mr. Darling's leave of absence, found a counterfeit half dollar among his receipts last week. He, with malice prepense, fastened it securely to that part of the passenger platform most frequented, and up to date he and Allen have had nine dollars worth of fun in watching the ludicrous attempts to purloin the apparently lost coin. The attempts to get hold of that half dollar are amusing in the extreme. Some one of the loungers or waiting passengers will spy the coin on the platform. He will begin to whistle, and walk to and fro, gradually getting nearer to the money, until he manages to get his foot on it. He whistles with redoubled vigor, his face bearing a fearfully strained look of unconsciousness; he glances warily around to see if any one is looking at him; he seizes a favorable opportunity, and with the rapidity of an eagle swooping down from its mountain eyrie he makes a desperate clutch at the money on the platform and gets a sliver under his nail. He retires in a frame of mind easier imagined than described. It is noticeable that none of the victims make a bold dash for the orphaned coin. They invariably resort to strategy, and their efforts to appear unconcerned while gradually edging toward the object, not infrequently have an effect opposite from that intended. Try as they will, their expression of countenance, intended to be inexpressive and indicative of the utmost carelessness, is apt to draw attention to their movements; and the knowledge that they are watched, combined with a fear that their purposes are known, or that somebody else will capture the coin, produces a feeling of mind not at all conducive to a calm and unperturbed expression of countenance. Some will approach the coin by devious ways, drop their handkerchief on it, and endeavor to pick up coin and hand exactly as you have repeated me to see that they were not seen Mr. French far here I communicated read matters. It is very that the language used impression that my information I believed in the statement you upon my information a very plausible one.

The election for Supervisors in the First and Third Districts on Wednesday did not draw out a very large vote. A. H. Rogers, the Workingmen's candidate, was elected in the First District, which comprises Los Angeles, Vernon, San Fernando, Ballona, and some other small precincts. In the Third District, Mr. Hannon, the present Supervisor, was re-elected. The assault and battery case of Humboldt va. Conrad was tried in Justice Athearn's court on Wednesday, but the jury failed to agree. Another trial was had on Thursday, with the same result. On motion of defendant's attorneys a change of venue was granted. The case will come up in Justice Humphrey's court, Santa Ana, on the 16th inst. At a beekeepers' meeting held in Los Angeles, the following resolution was adopted: That the Secretary be instructed to correspond with the banking house of Speyor & Co., of New York, and inquire if they are authorized to advance money on honey by R. Shipman, Dohne & Co., of Hanover, Germany, and how much, and can an arrangement be made to draw money at a bank in Los Angeles upon the bills of lading. The body of a man named J. C. Olmstead, was found on the beach at Santa Monica on Tuesday. It is supposed that he waded into the surf and then shot himself, as a pistol ball had entered his brain near the left eye. Foul play is not suspected. The deceased was at one time manager of the Arlington Hotel at Santa Barbara, and subsequently manager of the Grand Central Hotel, Oakland. [LATER.] The report that he had shot himself is a mistake. The Coroner’s jury gave a verdict of accidental drowning. Our attention has been called to sets of vandalism which have been perpetrated at the picnic grounds in the Santiago Canyon. Many of the grand old oaks, to which that part of the canyon alluded to owes its chief charm, have been mutilated and defaced by thoughtless or malicious persons. Huge pieces of bark have been cut from many of the trees for no other purpose than to permit the carving of one's autograph on the body of the tree. In some instances the indiscriminate hacking has impaired the growth of the tree, but the chief objection to the practice is that it defaces them and destroys the appearance of the only conveniently accessible edging toward the object, not infrequently have an effect opposite from that intended. Try as they will, their expression of countenance, intended to be inexpressive and indicative of the utmost carelessness, is apt to draw attention to their movements; and the knowledge that they are watched, combined with a fear that their purposes are known, or that somebody else will capture the coin, produces a feeling of mind not at all conducive to a calm and unperturbed expression of countenance. Some will approach the coin by devious ways, drop their handkerchief on it, and endeavor to pick up coin and handkerchief at the same time; others, not so dignified, will, with a great pretense of being tired, sit down on the coveted piece until they are convinced of its immovability; and one old gentleman is strongly suspected of having affixed some adhesive substance to the sole of his boot, as he was seen making frantic endeavors to get possession of the coin by pressing his boot against it, and then, under pretense of hunting for a flea somewhere in his stocking, passing his hand over the sole of his boot with the evident expectation of finding the coin adhering to it. A Noble Response. Magnolia Hall was packed full on Tuesday evening, in response to the appeal made for a benefit entertainment in aid of the Yellow Fever sufferers. The affair was very hastily gotten up, and nothing in the way of an elaborate programme was attempted. But the parts assigned to the volunteers were in every instance creditably performed, and the audience was in an appreciative and pleasant mood. The following is the statement of the Treasurer of the Relief Fund: Tickets sold... $34 85 Receipts at the door... 18 00 For Ice Cream... 25 55 Hat Collections... 17 70 From Contribution Box... 3 00 Subscription list... 10 30 $109 40 Ice Cream and other Expenses... $ 9 40 Amount Remitted... $100 00 B. F. SEIBERT, Treas. Relief Fund. Another sum of $29 50 was collected by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s agent. This makes Anaheim's contribution so far amount to $129 50. This almost spontaneous contribution is highly creditable to the people of Anaheim, and is just what would be expected by any who is familiar with the readiness which they have in times past evinced to contribute their nite to deserving charities.

A cluster of is on exhibiti by Dr. Greene seems to vandalism which have been perpetrated at the picnic grounds in the Santiago Canyon. Many of the grand old oaks, to which that part of the canyon alluded to owes its chief charm, have been mutilated and defaced by thoughtless or malicious persons. Huge pieces of bark have been cut from many of the trees for no other purpose than to permit the carving of one's autograph on the body of the tree. In some instances the indiscriminate hacking has impaired the growth of the tree, but the chief objection to the practice is that it defaces them and destroys the appearance of the only conveniently accessible grove in the southern part of the county. It is to be hoped that the picnic parties which hereafter assemble in the canyon will restrain the thoughtless and younger portion of the party from committing further reprehensible acts of this kind. Not only is it an outrage upon the beauties of nature, but it is a poor return for the courtesy shown by the owners of the ranch in permitting the public to use it freely and at all times. Anaheim Literary Society. This society held its usual weekly meeting in Magnolia Hall on Thursday evening, Sept. 5, President Leonard in the chair. The exercises of the evening consisted of a criticism delivered by W. H. Henderson on the proceedings of the previous meeting. The chair named Mr. Guinn as critic for the evening, and Missa Keamor and McKinnie and Mr. Shaffer as a committee to decide on the merits of the debate. Mr. Montgomery delivered a declaration entitled, "The Common Lot," after which the question, Resolved, That intemperance is the chief source of crime, was discussed by Messrs. Leonard and Fish on the affirmative and by Messrs. Henderson and DesGranges on the negative. The committee decided in favor of the affirmative. The following was adopted as the order of exercises for the next meeting: Critic's report, I. M. Guinn; declarations, Henderson and Dyer; question for discussion, Resolved, That the patriotism of the Revolutionary Fathers is over-estimated. Affirmative, Guinn, Shafer, Payne; negative, Montgomery, Grimshaw, McKinnie. The Society adjourned to meet at Magnolia Hall at 7:30 p.m. on the 12th of Sept. Victor Montgomery, Secretary.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—Hitherto I have refrained from replying to unfriendly attacks made against the San Joaquin Ranch by some of our local papers, regarding such articles as unworthy of notice, nor should I consider it important to refer to an item appearing in the last issue of your Weekly, were it not that it raises a question of veracity which I cannot allow to pass unheeded. As to any explanation, denial or conversation with Mr. Athearn concerning road matters, I can only say that I have had no talk with him at any time in relation thereto; have not seen him for several months, nor visited his office, and do not even know in what building or what street it is located. I think Mr. Athearn will substantiate my statement as to the alleged information. Furthermore, no application has been made for a road to Silverado via Tomatoes Canyon. Some parties have examined a route through Rattlesnake Canyon, which is the most direct from Santa Ana to the mines, but I am informed that no attempt will be made to establish the road except by consent of the owner of the ranch through which it will pass. C. E. FRENCH. San Joaquin Ranch, Aug. 31st. EDITOR GAZETTE:—In regard to a communication from Mr. C. E. French of the San Joaquin ranch, placed in my hands a few days ago, I can only answer this: The statements in regard to the road to Silverado seemed to me of so little importance that I hardly took notice of them, save for the fact that the original statement read that Mr. Irvine objected to the road from Anaheim to Silverado crossing the San Joaquin ranch. This I knew to be incorrect, from the fact that by none save a very inconvenient and impracticable route could the road from Anaheim to Silverado be made to cross the San Joaquin ranch at any point. A gentleman whom I cannot recollect came to my office and stated to me the facts set forth in your paper, and stated them to me A cluster of offices is on exhibit by Dr. Gregg seems to depend plenty of water best irrigated ground is an area that Pear tree ever before injured so mailed and the crop been done about Westminster cheese, etc., The premium example, $3 farin (don't all and greatest best display one of apples; also for the best do could take their homes, we We call on them ment, and on The Presidency well attended tertainment Mitchell from pleasure of the Merchant.

Wn The Freabyn until Rev. Jn to San Jaci exactly as you have reported, and also asked me to see that they were published. I have not seen Mr. French for several months, nor have I communicated with him regarding road matters. It is very possible, however, that the language used by me gave you the impression that my informant was Mr. French. I believed in the statement as published by you upon my information, as it seemed to me a very plausible one. A direct road from Santa Ana to Silverado via Rattlesnake or Tomatoes Canyon would necessarily traverse the best portion of the San Joaquin ranch, and without doubt be a great injury to that property, and I deemed it but natural that the owner should object to it. I have no desire to monopolize your columns with a controversy regarding this matter. As one of the citizens of Anaheim, I am interested in a road from Anaheim to the mines, and consider that a road from Santa Ana or Tustin or any other point to be distinct and separate affairs, not affecting our road interest in any particular. The fact of there being a road from Santa Ana to Silverado does not preclude the establishment nor obviate the necessity of a good wagon road from Anaheim to that point. FRED W. ATHEARN. That Awful Sum. EDITOR GAZETTE.—If a boy spends 9-10 of his money, what part of 9-10 of his money has he left? Many and various have been the answers, and all founded on the edifying hypothesis that after a boy has spent 9-10 of his money, the term his money still represents the same face value as it did before he had spent 9-10 of it. According to 'the kind of mathematician I am' after he had spent 9-10 of his money, he certainly had all of his money left. Therefore my answer is after spending 9-10 of money, he had 10-9 of 9-10 of his money left. Possibly I am mistaken in supposing that after a boy, girl, woman or man has spent a portion of his, her or its money, said portion is no longer his, hers or its; if so I will immediately apply for admission to the Santa Ana Public School. BOYLE. Orange Sept. 4th, 1878. EDITOR GAZETTE.—The issue of August 31st being the first of your paper which I have had the pleasure of perusing lately. I did not witness the first convulsion in this mathematical spasm which has since developed such striking peculiarities. It is a little surprising that so small a boy and so small a sum should call up such a deluge of mathematical errors. The most ludicrous feature of these mental gymnastics is brought out in H. K.'s little composition on 'Arithmetical Quacks.' His teacher should advise him a little on discretion. His zeal for the fair mathematician (which, by the way, is commendable) ORANGE HAZEITE. The beautiful sunset! How delightful the feast to lovers of summer, is a bright clear setting sun. As it is about to disappear in the western horizon, nothing can surpass its beauty. Fleece clouds sparkle in brightness with variegated colors by the reflection of its rays of light. From this valley and the surrounding hills we have a fine view of its beauty, as the way is clear to the ocean, making it all the more delightful. As old Sol passes down the western horizon, to all appearance he is taking his last and final leap into the old ocean deep; and then dew drops appear, a few hours of slumber and the dawn of day is upon us. Up comes the grand old luminary, rusted and refreshed, bidding welcome to all that come and enjoy his loving smile. The following letters remain in the postoffice: John Shrode, J.E. Shrode, F.A. Snow, Harry White, J.M.M. Care of M. & S., W.A. Jackson, J.F. Chappell. Rev. F.D. Bovard has completed his second year of pastoral labors in this place and is now attending conference at Ventura. His services have been satisfactory and highly appreciated. All parties interested are wishing for his return to this charge. Orange is now blessed with a Wells, Fargo & Co. Express office, J.W. Anderson agent. A boot and shoes shop has been opened by Mr. Caldwell, an experienced workman, lately from New Brunswick. Messra Hunt & Sanders have just completed a new spring wagon for Mr. Buckheim. It is a fine job, a credit to the manufacturer and no doubt will do good service to the owner. The fall term of our public school commenced Monday Sept. 2d under the management of Prof. G.C.Hall, Principal, Mrs.G.C.Hall, Intermediate.

EDITOR GAZETTE.—The issue of August 31st being the first of your paper which I have had the pleasure of perusing lately. I did not witness the first convulsion in this mathematical spasm which has since developed such striking peculiarities. It is a little surprising that so small a boy and so small a sum should call up such a deluge of mathematical errors. The most ludicrous feature of these mental gymnastics is brought out in H. K.'s little composition on 'Arithmetical Quacks.' His teacher should advise him a little on discretion. His zeal for the fair mathematician (which, by the way, is commendable) in whose defense he unburdens his soul, should have been tempered with a little more caution and correct reasoning. I shall not question his ability to master the little problem, because his mammoth exposition of facts and principles would convince the most skeptical mind, but shall simply regard it as an oversight. If a boy spends 5-8 of 9-10 of his money, what part of 9-10 of his money has he left? Glance for a moment at Miss Pauline Wright's explanation. Do not suppose, H. K., that I approach it ungallantly or irreverently; on the contrary I do so with softened stop and uncovered head. She says, referring to "S": If he had $100 and would deposit in the Anaheim bank $10, he would have $90 or 9-10 left; 5-8 of $90, $56 25. Now comes the place where our fair reasoner commits an error. She says: "$90-$56.25: $33.75. This is true, but she should have subtracted the $57.25 from $100, because $100 equals the whole amount possessed in the first place, and the difference between $100 and $56.25 is $43 75, what he had left. The question is, what part of 9-10 of his money, or $90, is $43 75? It is simply 4375-9000 equals 35-72. This is the answer to the problem, and is identical with the one furnished by our modest mathematician who signs himself "Geo." W. Orangethorpe, Sept. 5. Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Husking small corn is in progress. Some will be shelled this week. A lot shipped from near Santa Ana was so green that it spoiled in transit. The high rates now ruling are a temptation to shippers; but haste will surely make waste. We are informed on good authority that there will be not less than 1500 hogs for sale this fall in this immediate vicinity, and a good market will probably bring out 2500. Large quantities of barley are being received at the Landing and shipped to San Francisco. T. C. Hull has moved his house from the store lot to the land recently bought from Mr. Craig. The frame of Steinart's new house is up, and the carpenters are making quick work. W. H. Marquis has just finished painting his brother's house inside and out.

Norwalk Items. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Norwalk is building additions, front-fences, (pickets) painting and whitewashing, thus giving an enterprising appearance to the place, as well as an air of neatness which is enhanced by the cleanly condition of the streets. Willmette took a little trip the other day and was halled as Doctor. Think of it. Does scientific intelligence so stamp the outward person as to become patent to the untouched eye, even? Or was it because the hand-bag containing lunch happened along at the same time? Perhaps the spectacles gave an air of solemn dignity. And now there has been found a "man with soul so dead" that he not only to "himself hath said" but to others also, "There are no sunsets in California," Nor sunrises either." During a twelve years residence in California, I have never seen one worthy of the name." How could he! Just think of the glorious magnificent sunsets here, said by those who have seen sunsets in parts of the world that are famed for their beautiful ones, Italy among them, that California sunsets are not excelled in any place, the world over. The sunrises too are sometimes wonderful and fairy land like in their tints. This man, apparently, was in possession of every sense. No, he did lack the sense of the beautiful and grand. Had lived probably in the land of fog, and it had so dimmed his eyes that he thought there could not be any other condition of things. WILLMETTE. Thermometrical Record.

Success with this fruit seems to depend on damp, cool soil, with plenty of water. Those who have succeeded best irrigate frequently. Mulching the ground is an advantage. It is worth noting that pear trees are doing better this year than ever before. The excessive rains which injured so many peach trees helped the pears, and the crop is a good one. Nothing has yet been done about securing a representation of Westminster fruit, butter, corn, pumpkins, cheese, etc., at the County Fair in October. The premiums are on a liberal scale. For example, $3 for the best and largest pumpkin (don't all speak of once); $5 for the best and greatest variety of potatoes; $10 for the best display of butter; $5 for the best display of apples; also pears, peaches, etc., and $10 for the best display of fruits. Web believe we could take these prizes, and win honor for our homes, and all that is needed is a leader. We call on the Grange to organize a movement, and on everybody to co-operate. The Presbyterian Social last Tuesday was well attended and their promise of a good entertainment more than fulfilled. Rev. Mr. Mitchell from Anaheim contributed to the pleasure of the evening by a reading from the Merchant of Venice. The Congregational Social will be held next Tuesday evening Sept. 10. There will be good music, recitation, reading of the "Morning Star," ice cream, and fruit. At the entrance each gentleman will be presented with a necktie, and each lady with a bow. The exact matching of these will determine the partners for the evening. The programme will close with a grand promenade. Mr. John Torrey, Jr., with whom your readers are all well acquainted, is now in this section as the agent of Spear, Meade & Co., commission merchants, San Francisco, securing shipments for them. He has been very successful, and the large corn crop will give him something large to handle, after the barley in shipped. Rev. Wm.

If Your Sweetheart Goes back on you, go to the CALIFORNIA STABLES and get a nice top buggy and one of those fine roadsters, and ask her to go for a drive. If that fails to make her smile as sweet as ever, your case is hopeless. D. Nagle Desires to return his thanks to the public for the very general patronage which they have given him heretofore, and hopes that in the future he will receive the same generous support. He is constantly receiving fresh invoices of all kinds of men's and boys' boots and shoes, and also ladies', children's, and misses' wear. His long and practical experience in the business enables him to buy and sell cheaper than others not so well versed in the business. Also, custom work made to order on short notice. An invitation is extended to the public to inspect his stock: No trouble to show goods. If any Dealer Informs You that he has for sale adentrife identical with or containing ingredients equaling or superior in efficacy to those of SOZODONT, discredit the statement and insist upon having that alone. By doing so, you will secure a dentrific par excellence the best in the market, containing botanic elements of rare preservative influence upon the teeth, and one which will endow them with most becoming whiteness. Another desirable feature of this stable toilet article is that it imparts fragrance to the breath. Sold by druggists.
