Gordon, Friday evening, given in honor of Miss Carrie Seibert, who is here visiting from Anaheim. —San Diego News, Nov. 10th. Mr. H. Oldfield and wife, of San Francisco, are stopping at the Planters’ Hotel. It is said that they strongly prefer Anaheim to any other town in Southern California, and there is a probability of their settling here permanently. Citizens of Anaheim School District are reminded that the school tax becomes delinquent on the 21st inst. The tax is only 20 cents on the $100, and there is no excuse for allowing it to become delinquent. It would be a very good idea to forego the orthodox Thanksgiving turkey and go to the Firemen’s Ball instead. The supper at the Planters’ Hotel will more than compensate for the loss of the annual gobbler. Mendel Meyer’s Los Angeles Band has been engaged to furnish the music for the ball. Mr. Anderson, the Superintendent of the Anaheim tannery, has written to the Department of Agriculture at Washington for seeds of the Sicily sumac, which he proposes to give a thorough test. Sumac grows in dry, barren soil, brings a high price, and will yield a heavy revenue to the cultivator. Fire Lashes At half past 6 o’clock was discovered in Dr. H. street.

The supper at the Planters' Hotel will more than compensate for the loss of the annual gobbler. Mendel Meyer's Los Angeles Band has been engaged to furnish the music for the ball. Mr. Anderson, the Superintendent of the Anaheim tannery, has written to the Department of Agriculture at Washington for seeds of the Sicily sumac, which he proposes to give a thorough test. Sumac grows in dry, barren soil, brings a high price, and will yield a heavy revenue to the cultivator. At the request of many citizens, the Anaheim Brass Band will give a ball on New Year's Eve. The band has been so uniformly generous in volunteering to play for the benefit of every public gathering, that it is reasonable to suppose that their favors will be reciprocated, now that occasion offers. On Monday, Mr. J. E. Jennison and wife of San Francisco went up to Silverado, taking with them their household goods. Mr. Jennison is an experienced assayer, and the fact that he deems it expedient and perfectly safe to take up his residence in the district is very good evidence that the mines give great promise of richness and permanence. After the fire last night Mr. J. C. Langenderfer was taken violently ill with colic, and was for a time quite delirious with pain. He was attended at his room in the Planters' Hotel by Mrs. Dr. Higgins. It is probable that his illness was brought about by getting wet while assisting at putting out the fire. We hope by the time this reaches the public that he will have recovered. The San Francisco Call says: "Oakland has organized a free library and reading room, under the law passed by the last Legislature. This is a creditable enterprise, which we expect to see followed by most of the flourishing towns in the State; for surely a small amount of money can be in no other way so profitably expended." We hope to see Anaheim take advantage of this law, as suggested by us last week. Manuel Morillo stabbed and killed Mariano Veja in Los Angeles on the night of June 18, 1871. He escaped, although closely pursued. A few days ago Sheriff Mitchell received information of Morillo's presence in Reno, Nevada, and telegraphed to the Sheriff of that county to arrest him. This was done, and Mr. Mitchell left for Reno yesterday afternoon to bring back the murderer. The Fairview Sunday School held its annual election last Sunday, choosing the following list of officers for the ensuing year: Superintendent, Simon B. Smith; Assistant Superintendent, B. F. Kellogg; Secretary and Treasurer, Frank P. Marsh; Librarian, Irwin Kellogg; Organist, Mrs. M. E. Evans. The Secretary reported a total attendance for the year of 1254, an average of 24 each Sabbath, the school having held a session every Sabbath during the year.

The Secretary reported a total attendance for the year of 1254, an average of 24 each Sabbath, the school having held a session every Sabbath during the year. The Treasurer reported a balance in the treasury of $8.50. We are indebted to Mr. W. E. Taylor of Silverado for valuable additions to our collection of ore specimens. An especially fine specimen is from the Greyback mine. Mr. Taylor has run a tunnel 25 feet in this mine, and has a 44 feet vein of exceedingly rich ore. The formation is more solid and the walls are better defined on the Greyback lode than on any other in the district. The ore, too, shows black sulphurets, and in this respect is not dissimilar to the ore of the famous Consolidated Virginia. Mr. Bray, the representative of a San Francisco Company, has been in Silverado for a month past, negotiating with the mine owners for interests in their claims, the consideration being the erection of a mill by himself and associates. Satisfactory terms have been arrived at, and Mr. Bray will proceed at once to San Francisco to arrange for his mill. The contract with the mine owners requires that it be in running order by the 1st of March, although it is expected that the mill will be crushing ore long before that time. This is the day set apart by Messrs. Goodman & Rimpau in which to formally display their winter goods, and they hope that their invitation to call will be responded to numerously. Their stock embraces every imaginable article in the dry goods line, and will be sold at low figures. M. A. Mendelson, of the Merchant Tailoring Emporium, is still at his post selling goods cheaper than ever. The era of high prices and outrageous profits is past; and Mr. Mendelson is selling his stock of Gents' Furnishing Goods on the principle that small profits bring quick sales.

At half past 6 o'clock last evening a fire was discovered in Dr. Higgins' stable on Lemon street. The stable was nearly filled with hay, and in a few minutes after the alarm was given it was one mass of flames. The horses, buggy and harness were saved, and the loss comprises four tons of hay, the stable in which it was stored, and a few dollars damage to the adjoining stable and fence. Dr. Higgins estimates his loss at one hundred dollars. No insurance. Very fortunately a large number of people were within a stone's throw of the burnt building when the alarm was given, as it was mail time and the usual throng was at the postoffice. But little wind was stirring, and to these favoring circumstances is due the fact that the fire did not spread. Within ten feet of the burnt stable was alarge barn, completely filled with hay, and nothing but the greatest good fortune and hard work saved it from destruction. It caught fire several times, but the desperate energy of the firemen and citizens prevailed over the flames. Had this barn also caught, nothing on earth could have saved the adjoining dwelling houses. The great scarcity of water had again to be contended with last night. Not only had it to be brought from a distance, but the carriers had an agonizing wait while the tiny stream dribbled into their buckets. As to the origin of the flames, Dr. Higgins is emphatically of the opinion that it was a case of incendiarism. Appearances indicated that some combustible had been thrown into the open door of the stable. It is not true, as was rumored last night, that any one of the family had been in the stable with a light just previous to the discovery of the flames. The Barbecue. A large delegation of Los Angeles folks will arrive here on Friday night to participate in the barbecue on the following day. Our own people are going en maze, and the town will be almost depopulated. Every available mode of conveyance has been engaged to carry the throng to the picnic ground, which is distant from Anaheim about seven miles. The committee of arrangements are jubilant over the readiness with which their canvass for donations has been responded to. Everything they have asked for has been given them, and there will be provender enough to feed a multitude as great as that which we are told assembled on the Mount. The committee request us to ask those who have contributed provisions—solids or liquids—to leave their donations at Mr. Langenberger's store on Friday, at any time between the hours of 9 A.M. and 3 P.M., so that the wagons can convey them to the scene of destruction. The Literary Committee have secured the attendance of several eminent speakers, and addresses will be made in English and Spanish. The principal oration will be made by Stephen M. White Esq, who is well known as a pleasing and effective speaker. Not the least attraction will be the Anaheim Eras Band, who have volunteered their services. They will furnish music throughout the day to the Terpsichorean inclined. The Proposed New Township. We are under obligations to Mr. A. W. Potts, County Clerk, for a copy of the peti- RINGING RESOLUTIONS. Adopted at the Teacher's Institute, Los Angeles, Nov. 8. Whereas, Section 1847 of the Political Code of California provides that the minimum amount of county funds that can be levied in any one year shall be such a sum as will be equal to $3 to each census child in the county, and Whereas, The Board of Supervisors did, at their October meeting, deliberately refuse to comply with the law, when their attention had been called to it by the County Superintendent and the District Attorney, and did fix a tax levy which will not raise a sum more than sufficient to give $2 to the census child, thereby causing a deficit in the incoming county fund of not less than $12,000, and through said deficit shortening the term of many of our schools from one to two months; therefore, be it. Resolved, That we, the teachers of Los Angeles county, in convention assembled, do denounce said action of the Board of Supervisors as illegal and an outrage upon our rights and the rights of the children in our public schools. Whereas, The State Agricultural and Mechanical College, as now located, is not fulfilling the evident intentions of the United States law creating such Colleges and conferring grants of land on them; and Whereas, The people of Southern California are left entirely out in the cold, as far as any benefits from these grants is concerned; therefore, be it. Resolved, By the teachers of Los Angeles county, in Institute assembled, that in our opinion a branch agricultural and mechanical school (or schools) of mechanical arts ought to be established in Southern California and we recommend that the people of the southern part of this State continue to agitate this subject until the demands are granted. Resolved, That the thanks of the Institute superintendent McDonald for this barn also caught, nothing on earth could have saved the adjoining dwelling houses. The great scarcity of water had again to be contended with last night. Not only had it to be brought from a distance, but the carriers had an agonizing wait while the tiny stream dribbled into their buckets. As to the origin of the flames, Dr. Higgins is emphatically of the opinion that it was a case of incendiarism. Appearances indicated that some combustible had been thrown into the open door of the stable. It is not true, as was rumored last night, that any one of the family had been in the stable with a light just previous to the discovery of the flames. The Doctor's son was preparing to go to the stable when the alarm was given. Mr. H. McLellan, the agent of the P.C. S.S. Co., writes to correct an error made in the Gazette last week. He says: "This Company is doing business at Newport, and although we do not control the harbor or the wharf sites, the Railroad Company have nothing whatever to do with the place or its business; and instead of the country suffering from the recent changes at Newport, it is decidedly benefited. For example: there being about two cargoes of grain in warehouse there, which shippers were desirous of having forwarded at once, we, for the sole purpose of accommodating our patrons, take the extra risk, trouble and expense of having the steamer Newport carry a load to the steamer Ancon on her down trip to San Diego to-day, and then return again to the Landing for a second cargo. We do this without extra charge; we simply ask the same freight rate that McFadden received—a rate that seemed to be perfectly satisfactory. If the rate was satisfactory formerly, it can hardly be less so now with increased facilities." Mr. Johnson of Wilmington met with quite a loss on Monday. He was driving in a light wagon from Wilmington to Anaheim, and when at a point a few miles this side of the Alamitos house one of the wheels of the wagon came off and he was thrown to the ground. He held on to the reins, however, and stopped the horses, but not until they had dragged him some distance. He replaced the wheel and drove on his way for some time before he discovered that $75 in green-backs, which he had placed in his vest pocket, was missing. He made a long search for the lost money, but it proved ineffectual, and he was compelled to come on to Anaheim to transact his business. It was his intention to institute a thorough search on his return, but we have not been advised of the result. As illustrative of the hearty good-will with which people of nearly every degree give their services at a fire, we may mention a circumstance which transpired last evening. When at one time it seemed as if the conflagration was likely to be serious, a woman of the kind mentioned in polite circles as "fallen," dashed into a store on Centre street and demanded of the clerk a dozen buckets, with the energetically-spoken injunction to be — quick about it. The buckets were given her, tied together in the usual way, and seizing them she sped to the scene of the attendance of several eminent speakers, and addresses will be made in English and Spanish. The principal oration will be made by Stephen M. White Esq., who is well known as a pleasing and effective speaker. Not the least attraction will be the Anaheim Erass Band, who have volunteered their services. They will furnish music throughout the day to the Terpsichorean inclined. The Proposed New Township. We are under obligations to Mr. A.W. Potts, County Clerk, for a copy of the petition presented at the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors, asking that the township of Westminster be created, and also for the boundaries of the proposed township. There will be little, if any, opposition to the measure, as the right of our neighbors to have a township is conceded: PETITION. To the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county: We undersigned residents and tax-payers of Westminster and Garden Grove precincts, Anaheim township, respectfully petition your honorable body to form a new township from the precincts mentioned, to be known as Westminster township; and to call a special election at as early a date as possible for the election of township officers; official recognition of the township to date from the time the officers to be elected are sworn in. And your petitioners will ever pray. (Signed by 53 residents of Westminster and Garden Grove.) BOUNDARIES OF WESTMINSTER PRECINCT.

Resolved That the thanks of the Institute be tendered to Superintendent McDonald for able and impartial manner in which he has presided over the deliberations of the same and discharged the other duties of his office. Resolved That the sham attempts at economy made by our delegation in the last Legislature, by cutting down the salary of the County Superintendent of Schools to such a small compensation that it will compel the holder of that office in the future to virtually give up visiting the schools and confine himself to the clerical duties of the office, while at the session of the Legislature these delegates did procure the passage of a law increasing pay of county officials already receiving big salaries, is a blow at the efficiency of our public schools and is deserving of the condemnation of every friend of education. The Note that Ran On. There is the standard anecdote of man who, having held the note of a debtor for a long time, finally addressed him, calling his attention by letter to the fact that his note had run a long time. The reply came at last in a postscript: "In regard to that note all I have to say is, let her run." But that is not always good policy. Compound interest eats wonderfully. It falls into the line of geometrical progression, rolling up the principal faster every year. Some of the depositors who made small deposits in the savings banks of the city when they were first established here, and went off to foreign countries have now considerable fortunes in these banks. One instance is cited of man who, out of his business in this city, some fifteen years ago, depositing the proceeds hardly more than $2,000, and with a few hundred dollars went to Australia. His deposit here is now large enough to maintain him from the interest alone. But at last accounts he had never so much as drawn the interest. It goes to swell the principal every six months. Walker, who borrowed $1,850 of Hood in 1854, knows now what it is to let a note run at three per cent. a mouth, compound interest, for nearly a quarter of a century. The sum for which a judgment was rendered Wednesday on that note was $9,492,-908 65. The compounding principle acquires a fearful momentum at the end of the first quarter century.-San Francisco Bulletin. We solicit the patronage of those who require anything in the job printing line.

Why are As illustrative of the hearty good-will with which people of nearly every degree give their services at a fire, we may mention a circumstance which transpired last evening. When at one time it seemed as if the conflagration was likely to be serious, a woman of the kind mentioned in polite circles as "fallen," dashed into a store on Centre street and demanded of the clerk a dozen buckets, with the energetically-spoken injunction to be quick about it. The buckets were given her, tied together in the usual way, and seizing them she sped to the scene of the fire with great speed. The relief came opportunely, as buckets were scarce and in demand. Later in the evening the woman called at the store and paid for the buckets like a man! A little son of J. W. Sallee of Tustin City sustained a compound fracture of the left thigh last Thursday morning. The Santa Ana Herald gives the following particulars: While attempting to climb into the wagon from the rear, while in motion, his left foot slipped through the spokes, and he was whirled around with every revolution of the wheel for some distance. Surgeons were immediately summoned and the little sufferer is comfortable as can be under such painful circumstances. We understand that it will probably be necessary to amputate the limb in order to save his life. The indifference shown by the residents of the Chinese quarter last night during the fire was, to say the least, aggravating. They blocked the street in front of their houses, and with their hands thrust deep in their pockets, stood and looked on unconcernedly, and not one of them gave a helping hand. Four of them got in the way of a citizen of stalwart proportions, and, determined that the "Chinese must go" out of his way, he gently upset the whole four of them in the mud. His lawless act was excusable under the circumstances. The best XXXX Los Angeles flour at Evans & Bro's Fairview Store. A new lot of ladies' and children's gaiters and shoes at D. & G. D. Plato's.

A new steam life boat which is claimed to be unsinkable and uncapsizable, has been invented by Mr. Edmund Thompson, an Englishman, and is exciting much interest. She will be ready about the end of the month. It is proposed to test her by placing her at a dangerous point for service this winter. Henry Slade, the trickster, whose pretended Spiritualistic performances were exposed in London, causing his flight to escape imprisonment, is having better luck thus far in Germany.

The conundrum was answered. The rapacity—the shameless rapacity—of some people is disgusting. Here is a man in Helena, Montana, worth $230,000, who recently died and left every dollar of his wealth to his wife and children. And seven lawyers in the town, too. Since 1870 the following steamers belonged to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company have been lost: Golden City, America, Biennial, Guatemala, Sacramento, Costa Rica City of San Francisco and the Georgia. In addition there have been numerous costly accidents. Ar Showe is not one of those Chinamen who regard their residence here as only temporary, and look forward eagerly to a return to their native land. He engaged in business in Boston thirty years ago, married a German woman, and grew wealthy. He is now a widower, lives on a fine suburban estate, and has two pretty, educated daughters. Prince Bismarck has been followed by sooals of threatening letters to Varzin, Kissingen,Gastein and WilhelmStrasse. Whithersoever his steps have been bent in quest of health these productions have dogged him with regularity. Nor are the Chancellor's nerves what they formerly were. Since Kullmann attempted his life at Kissingen his old scorn of risk and his indifference to menace have diminished. When in Berlin he confines himself almost absolutely to his house and garden, which are carefully watched at all times by policemen in plain clothes; if compelled by his official duties to visit the Palace he drives thither and back in a close carriage, with the windows up, he sitting well back, so as to be invisible to passers-by. Varzin is as carefully guarded and as difficult to penetrate as Mecca itself; and at Lauenberg his park has just been surrounded with a high wall, shutting it completely in from the public gaze.

The news of the desecration of Mr. Stewart's grave was not conveyed to Mrs. Stewart until last evening, when Judge Hilton called and broke the sad tidings as gently as possible. She was overwhelmed with grief, but she fully coincided with Judge Hilton in taking a firm stand against any concessions or promise of reward to the robbers. She expressed a willingness to go to any expense to secure the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of the outrage. New York, Nov. 8.—Mrs. A. T.

There were several coffins in the vault, but the robbers do not appear to have hesitated in choosing the right one. The outer casing of cedar was easily broken open, and the second, or leaden coffin was then ripped open, apparently with a large knifes. There then remained the oak coffin, which was also broken open. The body was taken out and placed in a sort of sack, lifted up toward the opening, where there were probably other hands to receive it, and carried to the iron railings around the church yard. The weight of the body could not have been very great, but it is still a question how it was passed over the railings. THE WORK Was performed somehow, for all the gates were locked. The body was then promptly put into a wagon and driven away. It is worthy of notice that no footmarks were found in the churchyard, although the surface was soft after the rain and snow last evening. It is surmised that the robbers stepped from gravestone to gravestone, and thus made their exit either on Stuyvesant street or Eleventh street. They wrenched the plate off the casket and carried it away with them. On the whole, the indications point to a remarkably bold execution of a carefully conceived plan. Especial care must have been taken to avoid the police, for the spot is very open and offers no good chance of concealment. The beats of two policemen terminate close to the churchyard railings, and two officers ought to meet there constantly throughout the night. Mr. Libby of the firm of A. T. Stewart & Co., said to-day that the estate of A. T. Stewart will not offer a reward for the recovery of his body. It will give $100,000, if need be, for the detection and punishment of the outlaws, but not one cent to them for the return of what they have taken. Not a single cent will be paid in order to compromise this case. EFFORTS AT RECOVERY. Inspector Dilks, when informed of the robbery, at once sent out the following general order: To all precincts: The remains of A. T. Stewart were last night stolen from the family vault in St. Mark's Churchyard. The casket was found broken and the body removed. Decomposition of the remains is so offensive that they cannot be concealed. This is apparent from standing at the opening of the vault this morning; consequently it cannot be taken across the ferries without discovery.

Middleburg, N. Y., Oct. 31.—Andrew Freemeyer pastures his cow on the flats near this village. It being evident that the cow was milked every day before she was brought home, a watch was set for the thief a few days ago. Toward evening, the person on watch saw a large red-fox steal slyly out of a piece of woods on one side of the pasture. After looking carefully about for a few moments, the fox trotted direct to the spot where the cow was feeding. Taking another survey of the field, he took his position under the cow as a calf would, and sucked her milk with evident enjoyment. The cow stood perfectly still until the fox had satisfied himself and trotted back again to the woods, and then went on with her feeding. The day afterward Mr. Freemeyer went on watch with a gun. The fox came out of the woods as he had before, and Mr. Freemeyer shot and killed him. A new sensational act in a New York Theatre is thus described: At the close of her trapeze act Miss Geraldine comes down the rope head foremost by twining one leg around it and with her disengaged toe describing an Archimedean spiral. She is then assisted to the raised muzzle of the cannon, into the bore of which she slips, feet first, lying on her back. Her head and neck are just visible when the gun is discharged. Then she gives the word, the report of the cannon is heard, and she flies toward the spectators, going some twenty-five or thirty feet in a straight line before she drops to the net spread to catch her. When she again steps upon the stage and smiles her acknowledgement of applause, her bright garments are not at all blackened by powder—a fact which is doubtless due to the interior mechanism of the cannon. The conference of religious leaders for a consideration of the question of Christ's second coming will bring together, according to the Rev. Dr. Tyng, Jr.'s prediction in the Christian Union, a large number of influential clergymen from all parts of the country. He says that while the religious press has almost wholly ignored the matter, the secular press has discussed it so generally as to attract public attention. He asks: "If the doctrine of the personal and pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ be the dangerous heresy which they are wont to represent it in private, why do not these brethren of the religious press lift up their voice aloud and spare not? If we who wait for the Lord from heaven be hereinafter, surely we ought to be rebuked." Major Whittle and other revivalists are to conduct services in connection with the conference. Ansell Merritt advertises as follows in Troy, Kan.: "Whereas, when I am intoxicated I am not competent to make contracts; and whereas, I have been taken advantage of on several occasions recently, in such contracts, I notify all persons that I shall not hereafter fulfil any contracts made by me when drunk."
