WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 15, 1879 Kleinigkeiten. —A sharp shock of earthquake was felt at Riverside about 3 o'clock on Thursday morning. —The Santa Ana Times has entered upon its third volume. May it live and prosper for a thousand years. —The absence of the editor at Riverside on Wednesday and Thursday will, we hope, be considered a sufficient excuse for the want of variety in this issue. —The subject of Mr. Trew's sermon in the Episcopal Church to-morrow morning will be, "Christ, the Source of modern moral reforms and charities." —Eugene Meyer & Co., of the "City of Paris" store, Los Angeles, advertise a long list of prices in today's paper. They have an immense stock of dry goods and clothing which they will sell without reserve. —We are informed by one of the Programme Committee that a specially good time has been arranged for in the Episcopal Social to be held at the house of Mrs. Dr. Kellogg, on Thursday, the 20th. —We paid our respects to Mr. James H. Roe, editor and proprietor of the Riverside Press, on Wednesday, and found him, as we supposed him to be from the tone and character of his paper, a courteous, affable gentleman, and a painstaking, industrious editor. Here's to our better acquaintance, Bro. Roe. —From Mr. W. A. Leach, of Westminster, who visited us on Saturday, we learned a strange fact in regard to the growth of pear trees in that locality. As is well known, the soil of Westminster varies greatly; nearly every farm has soils suited to the growth of different trees. The settlers who did not take advantage of this peculiarity, but who planted their orchards without regard to the adaptability of the soil to the particular variety of tree planted, received an unpleasant condition. Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The weather is favorable for all farm work. Barley is nearly all seeded, and the area with the volunteer land, will be nearly as large as usual. The area of land reserved for corn and potatoes will be increased. In addition we hear of several hundred acres in wheat. Though the rainfall is only three and nine-tenths inches, it has fallen so gently, at intervals, that the land is in the best possible condition. Born—In San Francisco, Jan. 23, to the wife of James Booth, a daughter. Married—Near Anaheim, Mr. Aaron Alward to Miss Hattie McKim. Died—In Washington Territory, Mr. Lackey who left here with his newly married wife and three children in company with Mr. Williams. Much sympathy is expressed for his young wife in that far country. Died—In Westminster, Feb.' 12, after a long illness, Mrs. Maria Shaw, aged 65 years. There will be quarterly meeting services at the M. E. Church, Feb. 22 and 23. On Saturday, Feb. 22l at 2:30 o'clock P.M., Elder Hough will preach and hold quarterly conference. On Sunday Feb. 23d, preaching at 11:30 o'clock A.M., and Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Mr. John Torrey is for the present in the office of Spear, Meade & Co. San Francisco, and D. W. McLewal of Riveraile, will represent San Bernardino county. When the firm can spare Mr. Torrey from the office for field work we hope to see him here in the course of his business. In his congenial work may his shadow never grow less. The Alamitos school opened last week with 26 scholars, under Mr. Oscar Mack as teacher. Seven or eight more scholars will be added as soon as the seats can be supplied. This speaks well for the new district and for the teacher. On petition to the Board of Supervisors M. B. Craig has been appointed Justice of the Peace for Westminster Township, and P. H. Cullen, Constable. In the Garden Grove end of the township, Mr. Webster, of Webster, Howe & Co., has been appointed Justice. We salute their Honors. May they not bear the sword in vain. Let evil doers take warning; good men need not be afraid of the law, and the law has no terrors for them. We shall expect therefore to see their Honors wearing usually their accustomed comfortable expression, with just a little dash of majesty throwy in to warn against presumption. But 'let us have peace' though Justices starve. And 'let us have peace' if it takes the entire constabulary force to maintain it. The firm of J. and J. A. McFadden has From Mr. W. A. Leach, of Westminster, who visited us on Saturday, we learned a strange fact in regard to the growth of pear trees in that locality. As is well known, the soil of Westminster varies greatly; nearly every farm has soils suited to the growth of different trees. The settlers who did not take advantage of this peculiarity, but who planted their orchards without regard to the adaptability of the soil to the particular variety of tree planted, received an unpleasant reminder of their remissness last year. The heavy rains caused whatever alkali there was in the soil to rise to the surface, and the result was that peach and apple trees which stood on soil too heavily charged with alkali, withered and died, but pear trees on the same kind of soil made an excellent growth and appeared all the better for the presence of the alkali. Next to the Georgia Minstrels, the dance of Confidence Engine Company has been for the past week the uppermost affair in Los Angeles socialistic circles. The baile is announced through the columns of the papers, and its effervescence bubbles over with a three-line quotation from Byron, assuring all that they "won't g'home till mornin'" and exhorting the music to go on with the polka. Now, if there is any one thing which more than another we do like, it is a mess of poetry huddled amid the slush of an everyday ad-tissement; but in this case, doesn't it appear that the gallant firemen are treading on the toes of postal milliners and vendors of patent medicines, who invariably burden us with selections from the Bard? However that may be, we trust the worthy Confidents will have no need of the balance of the cou-plet so aptly begun in their advertisement. Notwithstanding this, however, it would seem akin to pity were they to dance all night without having need for that principal feature of Waterloo, the "cloud-repeating sound" of Wellington's cannon. If at midnight Chief Gard would appear with his new brass trumpet and bellow forth "The foe! the foe! (hic) they come! they come!" the poetical inspiration would be most sublime. Then there would be fluttering hearts and white faces, indeed, and "death bolts falling thick and fast," if we may be permitted to trot our particular friend Fitz Greene Halleck as off-horse to the Lord. Lucky dogs, those firemen, that our poetical editor is absent taking notes of the fair at the fair at Riverside; he'd give 'em a rap, and no mistake! Orange Items.

McFadden has been enlarged by the addition of Rev. S. B. King. We presume the name of the firm will be changed and announced in due season. Mr. King's name and active participation in the business will greatly increase the strength of the firm. We note for Eastern readers that we picked our first dish of asparagus Feb. 12; that strawberries are ripening in small quantities and will be plenty in ten days, and that the Australian Saucer peach is in blossom. This is said to be the earliest peach known, ripening in May. Having now the December peach, the peach season, if the frost does not nip it at either end, will last 8 months. As the result of the Temperance meeting here on Tuesday evening, a Good Templars Lodge was organized with twenty-three members. Centralia Items. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. While your correspondent was waiting Micawber-like for something to turn up, "X" stole the march on me and turned something up, or at least showed himself equal to the emergency. The same dearth of items still prevails, but I am determined to emulate his zeal, though so far as I know all is quiet from the foot hills to the sea. Centralia is recovering somewhat from its frost-bitten appearance, and the plains and far away hills are covered with a beautiful carpet of tender green, making glad the hearts of shepherds and stock men. We have no idea of conceding to Anaheim the palm of possessing a finer climate than ours, but our blighted semi-tropical trees teach us that we need hedges and wind breaks, before we can successfully raise oranges and lemons; and we would recommend to the land owners to start cypress hedges as fast as practicable, and in a few years we shall be as exempt from frost as your favored town. Not only that but Mr. John Rabbit would stop and "meditate" before trying to break through. Our farmers are experimenting somewhat with wheat and oats this year, while others are looking on hoping greatly for their success, as a diversity of crops might conduct to our prosperity. The greater portion of the corn is still in the crick waiting for the longed for advance in price. Mr. McPherson of Westminster resumes his labors as teacher of our school March 1st.

The community was raddened recently by the death of one of its first settlers—Mrs. Lyons, which occurred Feb. 5th.

Mr. Halliday of your town gave an interesting lecture at the M. E. Church on Tuesday evening the 11th. I was unable to attend, but hear the lecture universally well spoken of. The excitement at our friend M. P. Parker's in Santa Cruz on Tuesday the 11th, was all about a young girl; it weighed nina pounds. The Rev. Mr. Bovard has been tendered a leave of absence for four or six weeks for the purpose of recruiting his health. A wise, and it is to be hoped an opportune measure. On Saturday last a game of base ball was played at Garden Grove, between the second nine, composed of the school boys of Orange, and the Garden Grove Club, resulting in the school nine winning the game by a score of 38 to 24. Our boys received the warm congratulations of our citizens on their return from the contest. A match game between the Orange first-nine and the Garden Grove Club is in contemplation. On Monday evening of this week Mr. Leland, State Lecturer for the Grand Lodge of Good Templars, gave a lecture at the M. E. Church on temperance to an appreciative audience.

The community was raddened recently by the death of one of its first settlers—Mrs. Lyons, which occurred Feb. 5th. She was the first woman who came to reside in the original settlement, and was universally esteemed by all who knew her. Her son has the sympathy of many friends. Dr. S. W. Hayes, an eminent physician of New England, visited Southern California lately, and from a letter in an Eastern paper we take the following extracts: "Anaheim is a very pretty town of orange groves and vineyards and very attractive scenery. We passed the night with a jolly old German, who came to California thirty years ago. Early the next morning we drove still further through the charming little town called Orange to Santa Ana. Wherever there is moisture, whether natural or artificial, the vegetable growth is marvelous. A gum tree the size of a walking stick when planted, in three years grows to the height of 20 feet." Further on the good doctor says, "The uncertainty of rainfall, is a great drawback to all agricultural enterprises. I met many orchard and vine growers from the Eastern States who have been three or four years endeavoring to develop farming lands for the culture of fruit and grain. Without exception they said to us, if they could dispose of their property for half it cost them, they would joyfully return to New England, with a feeling of assurance that they would hazard less of time and money than here." The writer met in New England last summer men who had been fifty years endeavoring to develop that country and were in the same fix—would gladly sell for half it had cost them and come to California. There is truth in this part of the letter: "The immense Mexican grants are comparatively in the hands of a few proprietors, who demand such high price for their acres as to place them beyond the reach of purchasers of moderate means, and financially ruin those who do buy them."

The Home Bee Association. Editor Gazette.—The bee keepers of La Madera Canyon and its immediate vicinity met at Mustang Bee Ranch last Wednesday and discussed the subject of honey packages for the coming season; whether barrels or cans, or both, should be used. It was unanimously agreed that the prices paid last year for packages were not in accordance with the low prices obtained for honey, and it was resolved to use their united effort this year towards obtaining suitable packages at lower rates, barrels or cans, as the care may be. A committee was appointed to make full inquiry touching this subject, both in San Francisco and Los Angeles. A permanent organization of the bee men in this district was effected to be known as the Home Bee Association. [The Committee referred to in the above communication will pardon us for suggesting that their inquiries should not only extend to Los Angeles and San Francisco, but to Anaheim as well. Barrels and cans ought to be, and doubtless can be, made as cheap in Anaheim as in either of the places named, and the Home Bee Association should give local mechanics at least an opportunity to compete with those of distant cities.] San Francisco Markets.

Chemistry never achieved a more decided triumph than in the production of SOZO-DONT, which is a botanical preparation of wondrous efficacy in preserving and beautifying the teeth, rescuing them from decay, and rendering them white as alabaster. It is a toilet luxury of which all should avail themselves. The unpleasant odor communicated to the breath by catarrh, bad teeth, etc., is entirely obviated by this fragrant and salatory antiseptic of which one bottle lasts a long time.
