Diphtheria prevails to some extent in Santa Barbara. The Town Tax Collector gives notice that after January 1st unpaid taxes become delinquent. A sheep herder named Foster was shot and killed by some unknown person near Terrecula last week. He formerly lived in Los Angeles. During the winter months the Sunday School of the Episcopal Church will be held in the afternoon, beginning at three o'clock. The change takes place next Sunday. An individual named Low was arrested on Monday night by officer Bohn for disturbing the peace. He was fined the costs by Justice Athearn, which fine he paid and was released. R. May, the man arrested for burglary in Los Angeles a few days ago, is said to have been a preacher. He was expelled from the Methodist Conference of this State about seven years ago. Mr. Joseph Hull, of Sacramento, father of the General Hull, is on a visit to his The Murder on the Mesa. The facts in the murder case, of which we made mention in our last issue, are in brief as follows: E.W. Domeny and Uriah Humphreys were neighbors in the debatable land, known as Las Bolsas. Some time ago Humphreys set fire to the brush on his land, and the flames, getting beyond his control, burned some of Domeny's fence and other possessions. The latter charged that the burning was done with wilful intent to destroy his property, and from that time on the two men were bitter enemies. On Friday of last week Humphreys rode on horseback along a road which passes about twenty feet from the brush house in which Domeny and his family reside. As he got opposite the house in which Domeny was sitting reading a newspaper, he fired two shots at him from a double barrelled shot gun. The wounded man arose from his chair, walked about ten steps and then fell dead. The paper he was reading was riddled with the shot, and all about the chair in which he was sitting were large quantities of blood. No one saw the murder. Domeny's wife had just gone on a visit to a neighbor a few minutes before the deed was done. An inquest was held in Justice Halliday's Court, Fountain Valley Township, and the result was that Humphreys was arrested and taken before Justice Rushing, of San Joaquin Township, for examination. The case lasted two days, Victor Montgomery, Esq., of Anaheim, appearing for the prosecution, and three attorneys, whose names we did not learn, conducted the defense. The reluctance of witnesses to testify on behalf of the prosecution was very marked, and the Justices had to deliver some stern and wholesome admonitions in order to compel them to divulge what they knew of the matter. The theory on which the defense was conducted was that the deed was done in self-defense. Humphreys himself did not take the stand, but one of his attorneys did, and in the course of his cross-examination testified that his client had said to him: "Domeny told Westminster Item. Christmas dawned cold and clear shower the evening before, and clouds seemed to be the beginning winter rains, but as we write all the signs of rain are gone. But rain is at hand, and it may come showers before this is read. There were Christmas trees to churches Tuesday evening, and old enjoyed themselves both in gatherings and by visits to the Your correspondent can only spare say of them, as the weather would enable for him. We doubt not that the pleasure for all, the Christmas sincerely felt, "Peace on earth," ward men." The annual New Year gathering Wednesday. January 1st gramine for the day has already lapsed. The arrangements for are perfected. Our people will turn out. The exercises will be last year, and more opportunities friendly greetings and interpeople are so scattered and sociability is not as much called ought to be, and this day can be purpose for the renewal of acorn goodwill.

Mr. Joseph Hull, of Sacramento, father of T. C. and George Hull, is on a visit to his sons, stopping with the former at Westminster. He will remain probably three or four months. Mr. P. Pellegrin has an advertisement in another column offering his fine lot of jewelry at a great reduction. Mr. Pellegrin's stock consists of a fine assortment of articles suitable for holiday presents, and the reduction in the prices only holds good until January 1st. Messrs. Harris Bros. of San Francisco sent a box of cigars as a Christmas present to their friend, Gus Davis. It is needless to say that the quality of cigars are superior, but their greatest feature is the length—seven inches. When inserted in a cigar holder their appearance is rather striking. On Christmas Eve, Henry Schwartz again exhibited symptoms of aberration of mind, and on Thursday night he developed suicidal tendencies. He also imagines that people are trying to kill him. Marshal Wartenberg took charge of him; and he is now in jail so secured as to prevent him from harming himself. On January 1st the Co-operative Store in Westminster will pass into the ownership of Mr. T. C. Hull, the present manager, and Mr. F. A. Lund. Mr. Hull we know to be a thorough gentleman, and the great success of the store during the years of his management shows him to be a good business man. Success to the new firm of Hull & Land. A social gathering was held at the residence of Mrs. Flora Brown on Thursday evening, which pattook of the nature of a farewell party to Miss Jessie Gordon, who left for her home in San Diego on Friday morning. During the weeks she has been the quest of Miss Carrie Seibert, Miss Gordon has made many friends, and her departure was generally regretted. Bert's Dramatic Company arrived in Anaheim, yesterday, and will perform at Kroeger's Hall to-night. The play is "Tour of the World in 80 Days" and will be produced with all the scenic effects used by the company in the Grand Opera House, San Francisco. The troupe have just completed a very successful season in Los Angeles, and there is no question that it is superior to any other dramatic company that has ever appeared in Anaheim. Los Angeles Council No. 11, R. and S., M., elected and installed the following officiating Monday night: G. Q. Stewart, Thr. Christmas Eve in Anaheim. The vendors of Christmas trees did a livey business on Tuesday. We doubt whether in any town of double the size of Anaheim the demand for trees is exceeded. Nearly all the old settlers cling to the beautiful custom of the fatherland, and there are few homes in which the time-honored Christmas Tree is not beautified and loaded with gifts for the little ones of the household. Notwithstanding the numberless home gatherings, the Presbyterian Church was crowded by the members of the Sunday School, their parents, teachers and friends. The tree was beautifully decorated with varieties of sweets, fruits and mementos of affection. All seemed to have a most enjoyable time. Thanks to the teachers, the arrangements were perfect, and the exercises of song, devotion and cheery remarks left nothing for further desire. All felt the spirit of the occasion and retired to muse on the glad facts commemorative of the day and to live over again enjoyments that left no sting for after reflections. May such seasons of hilarity and good-will often recur in the sequel of every one's history. Orange Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The fall term of school closed last week until March, giving the scholars a chance for a rest after working very hard during the fall term of four months. Prof. Hall has a good faculty of managing a school; the children all love him, and to learn under his management is a pleasure to them, in place of a task to study as is often the case. The following is Professor Hall's report to the Trustees: To the Trustees of Richland District.

(re-elected); Samuel Meyer, Treasurer (re-elected); Edward Leake, Recorder; Niles Knickerbocker, Conductor; Wm. T. Lambie, Marahal; Jno. J. Reynolds, Steward; H. Neidecken, Sentinel. —The descriptive list and catalogue of the Westminster Nursery has just been printed at the Gazette Job Office. It shows that in Northern fruit trees Mr. Strong has a variety not exceeded by the largest nursery in the State. Those who intend to plant trees should write to Mr. Strong, or better still, visit his nursery and select their own trees. They will find that better trees and better terms can be had there than at distant nurseries. —We have to chronicle another accident arising from that prolific cause of bruises and broken bones—the sliding rear seat of wagona. Mr. A. B. Montgomery, father of Victor Montgomery, Esq., was riding with another gentleman, and a sudden jolt of the wagon detached the seat and threw both of them to the ground. Mr. Montgomery received a severe shock, and was unconscious for over two hours. For a week he was unable to move without assistance, but he is now recovering from the effects of the fall. —The baseball match on Wednesday between the home nines was warmly contested, and resulted in a victory for Captain D. Fish's side. The game lasted two hours, and numerous spectators found pleasure in watching the play. The winning side were presented with a beautiful boquet by Miss Jessie Gordon, of San Diego. The Umpire, Chas Stone, performed his duties satisfactorily to both sides. The scoreers were Fred Fischer and Joseph des Granges.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Christmas dawned cold and clear. A lightower the evening before, and threateningads seemed to be the beginning of our later rains, but as we write all is clear and signs of rain are gone. But the time for us is at hand, and it may come in blessed flowers before this is read. There were Christmas trees for the three churches Tuesday evening, and young and enjoyed themselves both in their church gatherings and by visits to their neighbors. Our correspondent can only speak by hear-ing of them, as the weather was not favorable for him. We doubt not that aside from the pleasure for all, the Christmas motto was merely felt: "Peace on earth, good will to all men." The annual New Year gathering will be held Wednesday, January 1st. The programme for the day has already been published. The arrangements for the singing are perfected. Our people will doubtless all turn out. The exercises will be shorter than last year, and more opportunity given for friendly greetings and intercourse. Our people are so scattered and so busy that possibility is not as much cultivated as it might to be, and this day can be used to good purpose for the renewal of acquaintance and goodwill. Rev. A. J. Compton was installed pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church last Sunday. Rev. P. D. Young, of Orange, preached the sermon and made the charge by the pastor. Rev. John Mack of Westminster presided and made the usual questions to the pastor and people. Rev. E. Halliday of Anaheim made a charge to the people. The services were interesting and well attended. Word was received on Thursday of the death of Augustus Bates, son of Mrs. Danskin, at San Diego. Rev. John Marquis advertises in the Gazette a desirable place for sale. Its location in town, its improvements, and its excellent fruit make it a bargain. Mr. Kiefhaber's barn is as good as new again, if not better, and now is storm-proof. What kind of fruit shall we plant this year? The two new ditches, one on each side of the river, and the artesian wells west of them, make us all independent of rain. The first necessity is apples. Everybody uses them, and everybody buys them, and the demand can be met at home. Peaches next in importance. It seems strange ture will be free to all, yet a collection will be taken of such sums as may be given for the benefit of church building. The young folks are especially invited, as well as all who would learn the way people live in the tropics. Mr. Averill has commenced the erection of a residence upon ten acres purchased of Joseph Howe. Mrs. Averil, formerly a teacher in the Normal Institute in Iowa, and an anthroress of considerable fame, will join her husband in a few months. Perhaps no woman in the northwestern States in her field of operation has a stronger hold upon the affections of the people, especially the young; for whom she has been an interesting contributor to several periodicals. Our hearts are glad that she is coming among us. Mrs. James, wife of Prof. James, leader of the choir of Dr. Guard's church in Oakland, visited Garden Grove last week during the Santa Ana and cold North wind, most unpropitious, and purchased twenty acres for a home. She will plant an orange grove the coming season. Mr. Messenger stayed in town last night with a load of oranges. Mr. Boxley has moved his house to the South part of the old Gregg place. Mr. Hickey has sold Mr. Boxley forty acres. Mr. Hitchecock has now one hundred and twelve cream cheese on hand at the factory. Jennie Pulsom has bought 10 acres of J. D. Cnaffe at $75 per acre. Dr. Fellows and his accomplished family have determined to make this county their home, liking it far better than they expected to. Seth Owen's father is expected before long from Tennessee. Dr. Head's friends are well pleased with their new home, and seem to enjoy life here. JAMES. Post Office Letter List.

Mendelson Importer and manufacturer of Word was received on Thursday of the death of Augustus Bates, son of Mrs. Danskin, at San Diego. Rev. John Marquis advertises in the Gazette a desirable place for sale. Its location in town, its improvements, and its excellent fruit make it a bargain. Mr. Kiehaber's barn is as good as new again, if not better, and now is storm-proof. What kind of fruit shall we plant this year? The two new ditches, one on each side of the river, and the artesian wells west of them, make us all independent of rain. The first necessity is apples. Everybody uses them, and everybody buys them, and the demand can be met at home. Peaches come next in importance. It seems strange that San Bernardino can still find a market in this valley. Once in a while the budded trees fail to bear, we must depend and upon seedling fruit. But as a rule we can raise peaches of the finest quality and in the greatest quantity, and by a proper selection of varieties they pay handsomely for their culture. Apricots seem to be more uncertain in bearing, but the profit from bearing trees is much greater. The fruit sold last year at from 5 to 10 ets per pound. A bearing aprisot orchard would be a fortune, and they make the best canned and dried fruit that we have. Unfortunately for the consumers they are never plenty enough to warfant drying, and they are sold for immediate eating, or for family use to be canned as a luxury. The Eastern market hardly knows them, and cannot compete in their production. Plums and prunes are of doubtful bearing in the finest varieties, and we can only recommend small plantings as a venture. The Oregon wild plum bears profusely here, and makes a good sauce. But the Wild Goose plum has been introduced from Kentucky, and its size, beautiful color and good quality recommend it. It is a great bearer, beginning at its second year, and Mr. S. Finley tells me that he picked this year two buckets full from each of two trees three years old. This is so far the best plum we can be sure of. Yet there is hope of the French and German and Hungarian Prunes, and we will not be content without longer trial. Some place will be found with adaptations for them, and then their profit will be great. Nectarines are good for a variety for home use, but without much market value. The New White is a delicious fruit. Pears do well in all their finest varieties, both as standards and dwarfs. The profit from an orchard would be in Bartletts and in the winter or late keeping varieties. Figs do well everywhere. Our own preference is for the White Ischaia and the White Genoa. The former is a small fig, very sweet tender skin and the tree is a wonderful bearer. The latter is large and sweet thicker skin and the tree not so profuse a bearer, equally good, if not better, dried. Cherries in the finer varieties are doubtful. The Kentish have borne good crops here for some years. We feel confident that the Duke and Morillo cherries will do as well here as in the Western States, but are much more uncertain concerning the Hearts and Bigarrows. Experiments, however, are not altogether unfavorable and the 'trees should have every chance given them by low training and dry lands. Quincee bear profusely and are, so far, very profitable. We import still from San Francisco, at high prices. Japan plums (Loquats) are perfectly hardy, bearing in Anaheim, and may prove profitable, as they are certainly very ornamental. Japan persimmons are "the coming fruit," if the stories of importers and residents in Japan can be trusted. Col. Hollister's trees in Santa Barbara are said to have borne a thousand this year. Date palms may, or may not, bear. No one can say surely. But they are perfectly hardy, beyond the touch of any Westminster frost, and very ornamental. They deserve planting for their own sake, and the presence of the tree. Post Office Letter List.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Christmas passed of pleasantly at Garden Grove. There was a beautifully trimmed tree in the new church. An abundance of toys, books and many valuable and splendid presents on the tree. There was a short programme of music and recitations. The song by four little girls was beautifully sung and had to be repeated. Santa Claus made his appearance in due time. The personation was very good, and he managed to amuse both old and young with his witty sayings and comical actions. The plastering and painting of the church is about finished, and it will soon be regularly dedicated. Due notice will be given. M. Medlin, the road overseer, is repairing the roads, putting them in order for the coming storm. The rain is rather late but when it comes will be all the more welcome, and we hope abundant. All parties complain regarding the scarcity of money for taxes, and we anticipate that the delinquent roll will be very large. Private letters from various portions of the State represent times as being worse than ever known before in California. Every one complains here, but a good rain will improve the prospect. Mr. Angel, of San Francisco, has purchased ten acres at Garden Grove for an orange orchard and home. His son will shortly build, after which Mr. Angel's family will come to make her a permanent home. Dr. Gulick, who was born in, and the greater part of his life spent, in the Sandwich Islands, will lecture upon incidents and "Tropical life in the Sandwich Islands" during two evenings of next week—Tuesday evening the 31st of December and on New Year's evening at the new Garden Grove Church which is now complete and has up a stove, making it quite comfortable.

Whitness of the dental row, a healthful rosininess and hardness of the gums, a sweet breath, an agreeable taste in the mouth,—all these are conferred by SOZODONT. Does not such an invaluable toilet article, one so pure as well as effective, deserve the popularity it enjoys. Most assuredly. It has no rival worthy of the name. The ordinary powders and pastes are nothing to it, and since its appearance, have rapidly lost ground. Sold by Druggists. Children do not die of the group to whom Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the lungs is administered. Parents will do well to remember this fact and keep a medicine, which saved so many lives, in the house ready for an emergency. The Balsam overcomes a tendency to consumption, strengthens weak and heals sore lungs, remedies painful and asthmatic breathing, banishes hoarseness and cures all bronchial and tracheal inflammation. If you have a cough, use it "early and often." All Druggists sell it. A painfully penitential pilgrim's progress is made by persons who are troubled with corns. Tanner's German Ointment is the thing to remove corns and bunions. This renowned preparation, which has been before the public fifty years, also cures with promptitude and thoroughness, old sores, burns, scalds, granular eruptions, and abrasions of the cuticle. It is not like many ongents and lotions, a powerful astringent of the skin, but as a gentle but potent healer, without a single objectionable property. If the directions for its use are observed, curative results are sure to be produced. Sold by druggists.
