We are in receipt of an exceedingly interesting letter from Silverado. It will appear in next Wednesday's Gazette. W. W. Rubbottom and wife, of Spadra, celebrated their golden wedding on last Friday. Four generations were represented at the feast. A party of sixteen surveyors have gone to Lerdo, Lower California, in charge of Myron G. Wheeler U. S. Surveyor, to make surveys of the lands belonging to Mr. T. H. Blythe and his colony there. Mr. J. J. Hill returned from San Francisco on Tuesday night.

From him we learn that the late-sown corn is coming up well, but the corn sown early in the season is generally backward. The San Luis Rey correspondent of the PLACENTIA'S GHOST. He is Discovered on a Mule!—The True Story of the Mystic Light. Editor Gazette.—The ghost excitement at Placentia has but quite recently subsided. Strenuous efforts had been made to solve the mystery; but, alas! the antic light would still continue, and the impression had well-nigh obtained that the strange light was a bonahoe and a harbinger of death. Symptizing friends visited the haunted neighborhood, and especially the lone adobe; but they, too, searched in vain. But when leaving, some one saw impressedly, it is told, an elderly, lean man, resembling Parnell's hermit, "his food the fruits, his drink the crystal well," sitting apart on a broken fragment of the old adobe. The explanation of a Los Angeles paper (that it was an electric light, and that a lightning rod would settle the business) did not satisfy our people. In the first place it would be impossible to procure an eligible lightning rod, and then the roof had neither roof nor peak nor elevation for the fiery apparition to make a stand. It could not be candescence, nor St. Elmo's fire, nor even the ignis fatua, as all the conditions were opposed to such a conclusion. On the aforesaid night, however, after all had left — it was near midnight — the family of Mr. Kraemer was suddenly aroused by terrific barking and hideous yelling and yelping. At once it was surmised, the Ghost is abroad! In a trice, search was made, and, lo! it was found that two of Mr. Kraemer's most fierce dogs had savage hold on the tail of a mule, which terribly frightened, was catering round and round, while astride him sat our hero (?) with a scull-cap drawn low down on the neck, and otherwise clad for ghostly tournament. The party for a while stood entranced, when one, roasted by the spirit of the occasion, cried out: "'Who art thou that ridest this time of night on a mule?' The well-known cadence of a low voice responded, "Ghost,"—and George Hinde and mule disappeared in the mistard! A cry then arose from the party; "The adobe! the adobe!" and a run was made to that haunted spirit; but no sooner did a stone whiz through the opening than the head of that ancient hermit, the renowned and far-famed Schlesinger, slightly protruded, and a sepulchral voice rose on the night air: "Be gone! disturb me not, for I am in deep converse with the spirits!" The mystery was at last solved. A plan had been concerted to frighten the families of our neighborhood into the belief that our goodly Placentia had become the home and possession of the spirited major intention ought to silence jeoparda. We noticed comments of the New same vein the Koch singular mixture of fully and wonderfully before we get three old truth that a humbly submit that sheer impertinence of the effete civil States. Hands off; for an experiment care; and if one-half the sovereign peopie and elsewhere predeict foolish critics will die for their own States from standing in deftiera money bags in in the only State wiled away under these laws.

J. Hill returned from San Francisco on Tuesday night. He has been appointed agent for a number of salable articles with which he will travel throughout the country. Mr. H. Hansler, of Westminster, favored us with a call on Thursday. From him we learn that the late-sown corn is coming up well, but the corn sown early in the season is generally backward. The San Luis Rey correspondent of the San Diego Union writes: "Dr. A. B. Hayward has purchased the 'Corral de Tierra' from Don Juan Forster, and will improve the same at once." At the meeting of the Anaheim Workingmen's Club, held on Thursday afternoon, Messrs. H. Werder, D. J. Sorenson, D. Nagle, F. Backs, E. Evey and J. W. Clark were elected delegates to the Convention which meets in Los Angeles today. The ladies of the Congregational Society at Westminster are about completing arrangements with Prof. Charles E. Day, to give another one of his grand concerts, assisted by his trained singers of the Philharmonic Society. Further notice will be given next week. Referring to the rumor that the S. P. R. R. intended to at once begin work on the Mohave out-off, the Herald of Thursday says: Col. Hewitt informs us that the Southern Pacific Railway entertains, neither now, nor at a future time, any project of establishing a Mojave cut-off. The Horticultural Society have decided to offer three premiums for brass band music at the next Fair; the first premium to be $150, the second $75, and the third $25. A committee consisting of F. B. Fanning, Capt. J. M. Carter and W. H. H. Russell was appointed to arrange a musical programme and establish rules to govern the contest of the hands. At the recent meeting of the Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., District No. 30, which heretofore embraced Los Angeles, Pomona, Compton, Wilmington, Downey and Anaheim, has been divided. Horace Burdick has been appointed District Deputy of the new district which embraces the outlying towns, and A. M. Lawrence District Deputy of the city lodges. Wm. Wade, formerly an employee at the Commercial street depot, but more recently of Pico cahoyn, was brought to this city on Tuesday, laboring under a violent aberration of mind. He was found wandering among the tules, stark mad, and it required the united strength of four strong men to overcome him and bring him to the city. He was placed in a straight jacket, to prevent violent demonstrations, and from his outward appearance Tuesday night it was thought he could not long survive under the fearful strain. Scarlet fever is no prevalent in Pasadena, that the public should have closed. ARTESIAN WELLS. Some of the Difficulties which Present Themsolves to the Borer. WESTMINSTER, May 19th. EDITOR GAZETTE: Thinking that some facts concerning artesian well boring in this vicinity may be of interest to your many readers in this county and elsewhere, I present the following: The number of wells bored I do not know, but they run someways into the hundreds. These include all sizes, from 7-inch pipe down to 34-inch, and the amount of flow all the way from 6 inches to one inch, and in one case the water flowed 18 inches over the top of the pipe. I think that this section of the county contains as many obstacles in the way of boring as any other part of the county where flowing water is obtained, but they have all been overcome and during the past four years failures to obtain good wells have been rare exceptions. As specimens of the character of said obstacles I mention the following: On Deacon Howe's place at Garden Grove a solid or continuous bed of gravel and boulders were passed through for a distance of 134 feet. Many of the boulders were too large to go in the pump, but were caught in the shoe. This bed of boulders and gravel underlies the whole of the Garden Grove district and is difficult of penetration, yet the wells on nearly every farm there testify to the skill and perseverance of the well borers. In a well recently finished for Mr. Robt. Eccles south of Garden Grove, a stone weighing 94 lbs was taken out, besides many other of smaller growth and the well finished with a 24-inch flow over a 7-inch pipe. In a well bored on Rev. John Mack's place here, a bed of fine heaving sand, mixed with sea shells, and 125 feet in depth was passed through; the sand at times rising 50 feet and over in the pipe. The well was finished at a depth of 300 hundred feet with a flow of 2 inches over a 7-inch pipe. On Mr. Griswold's place a short distance west of Mr. Mack's the same bed of sand was passed, their 30 feet of clay and hard black sand, when a good stream of water was struck in a bed of coarse heavy gravel, total depth of well 334 feet. There is reason to believe that this gravel stratum struck here at 330 feet is a continuation of the Garden Grove stratum, as both are overlaid with a stratum of hard yellow cement varying in thickness from a few inches to several feet. One well has been piped up twenty-two feet above the surface, diminishing the flow but little. Yours Respectfully, WELL BORER. The Arizona extension of the S. P. R. R is now completed to Casa Grande, twenty-six miles east of Maricopa, and work has been suspended until the return of cool weather. The Commercial says: The railroad has now reached into a land of absorbing interest. A little way from the station on the road has nine cows and head ture, which he kept year.

From Mr. Byram, of Westminster, we learn that the two little girls who died of the fever on the 11th, and of whom we made mention at the time, were his nieces. On the Tuesday following, his little nephew followed his sisters to the grave. The children were out here on a visit to their grandfather, Mr. Bryant, of Pasadena. Their parents live in Iowa. It is hard to account for the prevalence and malignity of the disease in such an apparently favorably situated place as Pasadena. It is surmised, however, that the trouble originates in some of the reservoirs in which water is stored. Unless these receptacles are kept scrupulously clean, there is no doubt that they breed the most malignant diseases. —About 8:40 on Wednesday night a small stable on Hermine Street, opposite the residence of L. F. Lewis, was discovered to be on fire, and in half an hour it was burned to the ground. The stable was owned by Judge Evey, and the hay which was stored in it—two or three tons—was the property of Mr. Crowther. It is very clear that the fire was work of an incendiary. A few moments before the alarm was given, a hale of hay in the horn of Mr. L. N. Evans was found to be on fire. Mrs. Evans, who discovered the fire, put it out with some water which stood handy, and just as she had extinguished it, Mr. Evey's stable, a stone's throw distant, was discovered in flames. Both places were undoubtedly fired almost simultaneously. Mr. H. J. McDermott has on hand a large number of spring wagons and buggies of different styles. Any one wishing to purchase will do well to call and examine his large stock of wagons on hand. —The Arizona extension of the S. P. R. R. is now completed to Casa Grande, twenty-six miles east of Maricopa, and work has been suspended until the return of cool weather. The Commercial says: The railroad has now reached into a land of absorbing interest. A little way from the station on the road to Florence is the ancient, pre-historic edifice of Casa Grande, which gives the name to the station. This remarkable ruin was discovered by the Spaniards in 1535, and minutely described a few years later by the Mission Fathers Kino and Mange, whose elaborate account in manuscript is still preserved in the Monastery Dolores at Zacatecas. The main ruin was then four stories high, and numerous other ruined buildings, extending over a district two leagues in circumference, surrounded it. There was also seen the well-defined channel of a canal that came from the Gila river and surrounded this ancient city. The canal was then about thirty feet wide and eleven feet deep, and doubtless served the inhabitants as a means of defense and for irrigation. Here was once a great city, more ancient than Rome, and contemporary with Damascus and other cities in the younger days of time. Many of our readers will now visit what is left of these interesting ruins, which are fast wasting away, and ponder over the origin of Casa Grande. —Mr. J. J. Hill has rented Mr. Scott's house on Adele street, and will occupy it with his family next week. Mr. Wm. R. Olden will remove his office and residence to the apartments in the second story of Mr. Langenberger's building, vacated by Mr. Hill. Mr. Ben Dreyfus and family, who will arrive from San Francisco shortly, will occupy the apartments vacated by Mr. Olden. —On Thursday Prof. Guinn was attacked with severe neuralgic pains, accompanied by fever, and was compelled to relinquish charge of his school to Mrs. Guinn. This is the first time in ten years that Mr. Guinn has been disabled by sickness. We hope that his expectation of being able to resume his duties on Monday will be realized. and in our houses possible to heal the night of the quite a shower ground which holds of a couple of growing crops, free flower, and filling rance and perfume seemed to catch fire forth their matiné and sweetness.

The great majority for the new Constitution ought to silence for the present all objectors. We noticed in the last Gazette the comments of the New York papers. In the same vein the Kochester Democrat calls it a singular mixture of wisdom and folly, "fearfully and wonderfully made," and says that before we get through we will realize the old truth that a Constitution must be a growth and not a manufacture. Now we humbly submit that all such comments are sheer impertinence from the representatives of the effete civilization of the Eastern States. Hands off, gentlemen! We are in for an experiment, make or break, kill or cure; and if one-half comes to pass of what the sovereign people here in Westminster and elsewhere predict and expect, the same foolish critics will ere long be favoring laws for their own States to keep their people from standing in deep rows along our frontiers, money bags in hand, begging for a place in the only State where hard times have passed away under the sunshine of benignant laws. Let us have peace. We made a visit to Henry Stevens' ranch last week, in search of an item, and we found food for thought for hard times. He has forty acres, of which twenty-four are productive for stock, the balance being occupied with house, garden, trees and vines, sheds and corrals, with the inevitable alkali patch. Ten acres are well set in alfalfa, and fourteen produce corn and corn fodder, beets and other feed for his stock. He is carrying 92 hogs, of which 60 head will average over 115 pounds, and 32 over 65 pounds. (We are told by a good judge that these figures are much below the truth.) He also has on one of his alfalfa patches seven sows with thirty-three weanlings. He feeds the hogs a stack of corn once a day, and green alfalfa, cutting four square rods a day for them. He also has nine cows and two yearlings, and thirteen head of cattle now in hired pasture, which he keeps up eight months in the year. Also two horses and two calves. This is a great amount of stock for the size of the farm, but he says he does it easily by hiring pasture for four months for the thirteen head and by a thorough system of stall feeding and variety of food. It is evident at a glance that the animals are well fed. The profits of a farm so conducted must be far in excess of ordinary farming, and the expenses very much lighter. The work is done almost entirely by himself. As an inference from these statements, we conclude that three acres of alfalfa here would keep one hundred hogs through the year, with beets and corn. The beets can be raised on land that will Orange, under the advice of the Chronicle, have called a primary meeting for the purpose of electing a delegate to a State Convention for the nomination of State and county officers, and I understand it is predetermined that no man shall be nominated for office who did not vote for the adoption of the new Constitution. The drawing of strict party lines in the next State election seems to me to be bad policy. There is really no issue before the people, and what we want is men of sterling integrity of character, capability, and fidelity to the interests of the whole people. Men should be chosen without regard to party affiliations and only for their genuine fitness for the trusts confided to them. To-morrow (Thursday) we are off for San Juan Capistrano and the hot springs, and will endeavor to make some jottings by the way for your next issue. Garden Grove Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. C. B. Hitchcock is having a May windmill erected on his place. Nearly all the wells on the higher portion of the land here have ceased to flow and several windmills have been built to raise water. B. P. Stahl builds a windmill and furnishes a pump for one hundred and twenty-five dollars which throws or lifts an immense quantity of water. The pump is eight inches in diameter and the stroke nine inches, and with a good stiff sea breeze there are thirty-five strokes per minute, giving a stream of water filling a trough five inches by six, or a stream ten inches wide and three inches deep. Mr. J. W. Hawkins has the sympathy of the community for the loss of his infant child and the long and continued illness of his wife. The flowers in this place are now very beautiful. On one place near the store there are eighteen varieties of roses in blossom, and a Yucca plant in full bloom attracts considerable attention. The first wedding in our church was solemnized on last Sunday. Immediately after service a carriage drove up and one of the parties requested the minister, Mr. Bovard, to marry two happy people, and upon their producing a license he united in the bonds of matrimony Mr. Cunningham and Miss Pefford. They were strangers to us, but we wish them joy anyhow. C. Howe was elected delegate to the State Republican Convention from district number seven, including Westminster, Fountain Valley and Garden Grove. Thermostatical Record.

Apples, pears, peaches and apricots fill the trees. Our gooseberry bushes, which bore a good crop last year, have not a single berry this year. Raspberries and blackberries are still experiments, but we hope to chronicle a good crop of blackberries on Mr. Lawton's place. It is a curious fact that, while San Francisco is overstocked with cherries so that the cauers dictate prices even for the choicest, our young trees here are just going out of blossom, and a few half-grown cherries can be found.

We are informed that the new church will be dedicated Sunday，June 1st。If so，a notice will be given next week. The weather continues remarkably cold and windy，and the corn crop is very backward. **Orange Items.* **REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.* In the absence of a general budget of news from which to gather items，the weather always affords an everlasting subject of comment.

On the night of the 16th we were visited with quite a shower of rain, sufficient to wet ground which had been plowed, to the depth of a couple of inches, giving an impetus to growing crops, freshness to tree, shrub and flower, and filling the air with their fragrance and perfume. Even the mocking birds seemed to catch fresh inspiration and warbled forth their matin notes in richer tones of joy and sweetness. The meeting of the literary society on Friday evening last was well attended. The programme was one affording amusement as well as literary entertainment, and was enacted with credit. The meetings of the society are always anticipated with pleasure, and are a source of benefit intellectually, morally and socially to the community. The next regular meeting will be held on the evening of the 30th, and I am informed that the programme committee have a rich treat in store for the occasion. On Saturday last the Anaheim baseballists and the Orange club played a matched game at Orange of nine innings, which resulted in favor of our home club by a score of 28 to 13. While we have a local pride in the success of the Orange club, we yet sympathize for the Anaheim boys, and advise them that defeat, when followed by persevering determination, is often but an omen of success. They will doubtless do better next time. School Supt. McDonald paid our schools an official visit on Tuesday last. He also remember your correspondent with a friendly call. He reports the schools in his jurisdiction as making commendable progress, and hopes for the best under the new order of things imposed by the adoption of the new Constitution, but regrets the abolishing of the State Board of Education. Mr. McDonald has, so far as I can learn, given general satisfaction during his administration, and for the interest of education, it is to be hoped that he may be re-elected for another term. Party politics should have nothing to do in the election of County or State Superintendent, but educational qualifications and moral worth should alone influence the selection of men for these positions. At the Republican primary election for delegate to the State Convention to be held at Sacramento on June 17th, Mr. A. B. Clark, of Orange, was duly elected. Mr. Clark is a gentleman of superior ability, and will make an active member. Some of the young people of Orange and vicinity gave Messrs. Witherby and Hazen a surprise party on Monday evening last, and all consent in saying that they had a most enjoyable visit. A wedding is on the tapi for this Wednesday, evening. The happy couple no soon to be made one are Mr. Haldwin and Mrs. Hamilton, both of Orange. The advocates of the new Constitution in POULTRY—Hens, $6@8 50 doz.; Broilers, $3@5 50. HONEY—Reports of short crops do not affect this market; dealers believing that though the crop will be short, no great scarcity need be apprehended. Choice clear extracted, 5c; candled, 4@4; comb, 5@8c. BEESWAX—20@25c lb. FRUIT—Los Angeles county oranges, $1 50 $3 @ box; San Bernardino oranges (none in market); Limes, $2@5 box as to quality and condition. Cherries and strawberries are plentiful; apricots and currants are arriving. Raisins and all dried fruits rule low and are very dull. Last night's Express has the following: A rumor has reached the city to the effect that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, having stopped work at the end of the track in Arizona, are about to transfer a force of men to Mohave for the purpose of running their road by way of the much-talked-of cut-off. The rumor wants confirmation, but it is just possible that there is something in it. As soon as the company undertakes to do this, it will enter into a violation of its contract with this city and county, and the question will then arise as to its effect upon the bonds issued by Los Angeles on condition that the main line of the road shall be permanently established where it now runs. Of course we understand the hair-splitting points that can be made on the other side; but specious reasoning and evasive sophistry are not going to win in this controversy. We noticed, Thursday, 57 boxes of fine oranges on the train, for L. A. Warren, of Tucson; they weighed nearly two tons, and yesterday came 51 boxes limes. Formerly we used to receive oranges from Sonora, now we find that fruit and even eggs are shipped with profit from Los Angeles to Arizona by the S. P. R. R.—Yuma Sentinal. Wells, Fargo & Co.

Positive and Concurrent Testimony establishes the fact that TANNER'S GERMAN OINTMENT eradicates cutaneous eruptions, sores, bruises, scalals, rheumatic complaint, pain in the chest, side and kidneys, and that it may be depended upon to render the hair more luxurant and remove dandruff. For all disorders to the relief of which an external remedy is adapted, it is infallible. For fifty years it has been achieving unprecedented success, and it has to-day a reputation paralleled by that of any remedy. Druggists sell it. There is no time to be lost when a cough attacks one, in adopting means of prevention against consumption and bronchitis. A cough may, with perfect truth, be termed the incipient stage of those destructive malady, and the height of folly to disregard it. If neglected, it will assuredly culminate in some dangerous plumonary affection, but if Dr. Wm. Hall's BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS be used, the complaint is speedily vanquished and all danger averted. There is no pulmonic comparable to this great specific. Sold by druggists. They all Take it. When the system is run down to that extent that you pass sleeple nights, are nervous and irritable, have gloomy forebodings, sour stomach, sick headache and coated tongue, do not enroll yourself as high private, in the rear rank, under General Debility, but cheer up and try WHITE'S Prairie Flower, the Great Liver Panaces, now for sale in every city on the Continent. No medicine ever compounded is half its equal for care of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. It has a specific power over the liver and by caring the liver, dyspepsia and all other diseases arising from it, vanish as if by magic.
