WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...JUNE 21, 1879. Church Meetings. FIRST PREBUTTERIAN CHURCH REGULAR morning at 11 A.M., and 7:20 P.M. Sunday afternoon at 10 A.M. Meeting for purposes in Dongregational hunting and for little study, on Wednesday at 7:20 P.M. PROPAL CHURCH, REV. A. G. L. TREW, Punter Regular congregation every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Sunday School at 9:30 A.M. Winnipeg. The following quotations are furnished to the Gazette by the Bank of Anahieta: Spruce—Buying; $ milling; 1½ Chimneys—At par. Kleinigkeiten. Mrs. C. E. Leonard is, we are glad to learn, convalescing rapidly. She has gone to the Serrano rancho for a short visit. Preparatory to removing to Arizona, Mrs. F. M. Brown is selling her large stock of millinery remarkably cheap. In the interest of the Anaheim Tannery we a couple of weeks ago sent up a wail over the difficulty experienced in getting a supply of oak bark. But that difficulty has been removed, and the Company are now offered more bark than they can find any use for. As an illustration of the manner in which a story gets distorted after passing through the condensing process of various editors, we append the following which we clip from a New York paper. It refers to the Societas Prateria case, but the small grain of fact is almost lost in the wealth of fiction, and the story as here told only resembles in a very remote degree the facts as originally recorded: "A woman in Los Angeles, Cal., became posses el of the notion that her little girl might, by slow starvation, be brought to such a physical condition that who would be translated to the spirit world without dying. With that end in view, she fed the child on fruit only, steadily diminishing the quantity, until the child was horribly emaciated. Neighbors then interfered, much to the displeasure of the mother, who declared the little one had reached a point POLITICAL JOTTINGS. Notes on the Coming Struggle in the State and County. At a meeting of the Anaheim New Constitution Club on Thursday night the following delegates were elected to the County Convention to be held in Los Angeles to-day: V. Montgomery, A. Bailey. D. R. Payne, Frank Porter, Dr. J. S. Gardiner. The delegates were instructed to use every effort to induce the Workingmen to join with them in putting up a ticket. W. R. Rowland and Dr. N. P. Richardson are candidates for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff. General John M. Baldwin seeks the nomination of the same party for County Recorder. J. P. West is the candidate of the New Constitution party for State Senator from this county. At a meeting of the Workingmen in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the County Central Committee of the W. P. C. of the county of Los Angeles be authorized to change the call for the County Convention so that the delegates to said Convention from the city of Los Angeles shall be elected by the clubs of the W. P. C. instead of by precincts, the same number as now given to the city, to be apportioned among the several clubs according to their membership in good standing. Resolved, That the apportionment be made by the County Central Committee from the lists of membership received from the clubs at their next meeting and accepted by them. J. Q. A. Stanley is a candidate for Assessor, subject to the Workingmen's nomination. Capt. Stanley, we believe, was a candidate for some office a few years ago. Volney E. Howard is a candidate for Judge of the Superior Court. The Republican State Convention has made the following nominations: Governor, George C. Perkins. Leut.-Governor, John Mansfield, of Los Angeles. Secretary of State, D. M. Burns, present Clerk of Yolo county. Controller, D. M. Kentfield, of Tuolumne. Granite. No unusual or stray items for the Gazette to be enjoying the outer weather, each fig tree, with nangling bliss of domestic peace ever present gale silence, and the river on with not a ripple impediment to divers channel.

The ocular feature in this cal issues foreshorevolved will be measures. Meeting of Town Trustees. At the meeting of the Town Trustees on Wednesday, Mr. W. Fesenfeld submitted a bid to furnish 2000 feet of water pipe for 35 cents per foot, or to furnish the pipe, hydrants, etc., and lay the pipe in accordance with specifications for $1,250. The Board decided to award the contract to Mr. Fesenfeld, and the Committee on Public Improvements (Messrs. Zeyn, Korn and Seibert) were instructed to draw up a contract, fix the amount of bonds, etc., Mr. Fesenfeld expects to have the pipe laid and everything in working order by the 1st of August. The route of the pipe is from the tank to Los Angeles street, along Los Angeles street to Centre street, down Centre street to about opposite Chas. Hille's. Six fire hydrants will be placed at convenient distances along the route. The bid of J. F. Dalton, offering to raise the tank frame fifteen feet for $200, was accepted, and the Committee on Public Improvements were instructed to enter into the necessary contract with Mr. Dalton. With the tank at the height of thirty-five feet, it is expected that the water can be forced to the roof of most of the buildings in town. The following petition was read and laid on the table: ANAHEIM, June 14, 1879. To the Honorable Board of Town Trustees of the Town of Anaheim: Gentlemen—As you are probably aware, we, the undersigned citizens of the Town of Anaheim, engaged in the occupation of saloon-keeping, have refused to pay to the Marshal of said town the license demanded by him. And we take the earliest opportunity of acquainting you with the considerations which governed us in our action. 1. For the past two years the saloon-keepers alone of all the business men of Anaheim, have paid a license levied by the municipal authorities. 2. The license heretofore exacted was onerous and oppressive enough, but you have (unintentionally, as we believe.) increased it by the addition of $150 per quarter. 3. We see no good reason for being compelled to pay more than other business men whose transactions double or quadruple ours. Not only do we consider this unjust, but we maintain that it in effect holds upour occupation as being so vile as to justify the authorities in stamping it out by the enactment of oppressive laws; and we protest against being considered either than law-abiding citizens, willing to bear our just proportion of public duties, list unwilling to rest under the imputation of belog engaged in a business so grain of fact is almost lost in the wealth of fiction, and the story as here told only resembles in a very remote degree the facts as originally recorded: "A woman in Los Angeles, Cal., became possesal of the notion that her little girl might, by slow starvation, be brought to such a physical condition that who would be translated to the spirit world without dying. With that end in view, she fed the child on fruit only, steadily diminishing the quantity, until the child was horribly emaciated. Neighbors then interfered, much to the displeasure of the mother, who declared the little one had reached a point where visions of spirit life betokened the expected change." How to Have Early Peaches. EDITOR GAZETTE—The early peaches which have been marketed in Anaheim from Westminster Nursery have aroused considerable inquiry. The secret of their extreme earliness is too simple to be so called. The trees stand in nursery rows, one year from the bud, very thrifty in growth, and protected from all winds by dense shelter belts. As a rule, mature trees are said to ripen their fruit earlier than young trees. We began to pick Brigg's Red May, June 4th. Then followed Ausden's June, June 8th. The row of Early Alexander was not quite so well protected, and though it ought to ripen with Ausden's, was five days later. They came Early Beatrice, June 14th. Hale's Early, the old standard early peach, will not be ripe for ten days. As to quality, we consider Alexander and Ausden the finest; Brigg's equally large but not so definite in taste; Beatrice, high colored and good, but not over two-thirds the size of the others. With the introduction of these peaches, and apricots, our fruit season may be said to begin about June 1st. R. S. Garden Grove Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. There is nothing but politics to talk about or do. Farmers are busy in their corn; some have planted their crops three times, and it is generally conceded that we will have a very short crop this year, not more than half a crop. The writer has been in the neighborhood of Downey and Artesia, and from information obtained from merchants and farmers there will not be more than half as much corn raised in this county as there was last season. All concerned are rather blue considering the low prices and future prospects. As to politics, things are getting somewhat drear. There seems to be a strong reaction in favor of the Workingmen's party, and some who have joined or were about to join the New Constitution party, still intend to stand by the Workingmen. They seem to think that as they carried the county and the State at the last election they ought to have the honor and offices... 2. The license heretofore exacted was onerous and oppressive enough, but you have (unintentionally, as we believe) increased it by the addition of $1 50 per quarter. 3. We see no good reason for being compelled to pay more than other business men whose transactions double or quadruple ours. Not only do we consider this unjust, but we maintain that it in effect holds upour occupation as being so vile as to justify the authorities in stamping it out by the enactment of oppressive laws; and we protest against being considered other than law-abiding citizens, willing to bear our just proportion of public duties, but unwilling to rest under the imputation of badug engaged in a business so criminal to the public welfare as to justify the machinery of the law being directed against us. We therefore respectfully ask that you repeal the ordinance requiring us to pay a quarterly license of $8 50, and enact one putting us upon the same footing in this respect with other business men. Should your honorable body comply with our petition, we will agree to pay license for the current quarter, commencing May 1st, 1879. Mr. Zeyn introduced an amendment to the license ordinance, fixing the rate of license for saloons at $5 per quarter. The amendment will be put on its passage at the regular meeting of the Board. For each you can buy the best and longest wearing goods at Goodman & Rimpan's. 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. For the best and cheapest goods go to Goodman & Rimpan's in the place to buy cheap and first-class goods for cash. We would call special attention to our schedule reduced price list and solicit immediate payment as our stay will be limited. Full length card mase without retouching, $1 per dozen; vignette card size retouched, $3 per dozen; sahnets full length unretouched, $3 per dozen; vignettes retouched, $5 per dozen. No extra charge being made for the new canne vignette its cabinets for which the Jim Premiere prize is $8 and $10 per dozen. We continue to make a specialty of viewing, also copying and enlarging from old and dated pictures. Work done in India ink, under colors and crayon and satisfaction guaranteed. Mr. and Mrs. Al. Smith, photograph rooms, Los Angeles street. Picnic at the Landing. The Ladies' Social of the Westminster Presbyterian Church will be pleased to have their friends, neighbors and acquaintances join them in a picnic at the Anaheim Landing beach, Tuesday, June 24th. Everybody bring their lunch baskets along (well filled, of course). There will be ice cream, fresh peaches and gennine maple sugar on the ground for sale. Wells, Fargo & Co. The following letters and packages remain uncalled for at Wells, Fargo & Co's Express: PACKAGER Orphaeus Lodge, John Hunter, T A Darling Post Office Letter List. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Anaheim Postoffice: C E Allen, Mrs A M Jordan, W J Rancy Miss P C Smith, S M Holt. A black pocket-book, belonging to John Hanna, has been lost. The finder will please leave it at this office. ORANGE ITEMS. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. No unusual or startling events are transpiring in our quiet town from which to gather items for the Gazette, but our people seem to be enjoying the calm and beautiful summer weather, each under his own vine and fig tree, with naught to disturb the hallowed bliss of domestic peace and happiness. Even the ever present gosper is charmed into silence, and the river of life flows smoothly on with not a ripple upon its surface, or an impediment to divert it from its scenic channel. Could the over-busy and restless multitudes who throng the thoroughfares of our cities, going they know not whither, and seeking they know not what, be silently transferred to our midst and leave in this peaceful and vitalizing atmosphere, they might gain an idea of the happiness in the summer land beyond that the turmoil and strife of life in the city cannot afford them, and perhaps cool their aching heads and invigorate their over-taxed nerves to begin anew the arduous struggle for existence, which must eventuate finally in the survival of theittest. If some live man with an eye to business would take our hotel and fit it up so as to be adapted to the comfort of his guests, our town would be a place of resort for the thousands who yearly seek the country for pleasure and repose. The healthfulness of climate, the beauty of scenery, the sweet fragrance of our orange groves, the excellence of water, and the easy access by ocean and railroad, all conspire to make Orange one of the most attractive places in California to tourist and invalid. Game is abundant among the foot hills, and along the river bottoms, affording excellent sport to o who are fond of gunning, while in every direction are the finest drives to be found in any section and over the best of roads. Since the adoption of the New Constitution the "calm that follows the storm" has seemed to settle down upon our citizens, and all those who conscientiously voted against both Republicans and Democrats, quietly acquiesce in the expressed will of the majority, and are disposed to let the friends of the instrument have it all their own way so far as the September elections are concerned. So far as I have been able to learn there are no new aspirants for political honors among either of the parties in Orange, and very little interest is manifested in the action of nominating conventions. The New Constitution party are clearly in the ascendant here, and men of whatever shade of opinion are quietly awaiting the action of the conventions before making up their minds as to individual candidates. The coming elections have a peculiar feature in this, that there are no political issues foreshadowed, and the question involved will be one of men more than measures. This, however, in the PLACENTIA NEWS. Enron Gazette — If it will be agreeable, I will dot down the items of local interest from Phasellia and send them to the Gazette from time to time. There is nothing fascinating or very interesting since the "Schleinger Starving Cane." The farmers are busy stalking and halting hay and cultivating their crops. The anti-inflated Schoolmarm, Miss Minnie Millington, former teacher of Placetta schdel, but now a teacher in Alameda, Alameda Co., with her sister, Miss May, also a teacher of the same place, are new visiting friends in this neighborhood. Mr. Breinhard, a merchant of Petaluma and one of the stockholders of the R. Cal. S. T. F. Co., has been paying Mr. B. H. Griffin a visit for some days, and expresses himself highly pleased with this locality. The Cajon Irrigation Co. has been alternating its water with the Anaheim Company. The Anaheim Company got it last week, the Cajon Co. gets it this week. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. put a restraining order on the Cajon Co. to prevent them taking more than one half of the water, but are not so exact about their measure as they would have their neighbors. Their ditch has at least twice the amount of water that the Cajon ditch has. The annual election of the Cajon Co. is advertised for the 24th last to elect officers for the ensuing year. BORRA.

The New Constitution party are clearly in the ascendant here, and men of whatever shade of opinion are quietly awaiting the action of the conventions before making up their minds as to individual candidates. The coming elections have a peculiar feature in this, that there are no political issues foreshadowed, and the question involved will be one of men more than measures. This, however, in the opinion of your correspondent, is a very important one, for upon the fitness and qualifications of the candidates elected to fill the various offices of county and State depends the business interests and general prosperity of the State for years to come. Especially is this true in reference to the Legislature, to which is assigned the duty of adjusting and enacting the laws that are to govern under the new order of things. This I believe is thoroughly appreciated by all of our voters, and when election day comes they will exercise their suffrage in reference to this more than to the party from which the nominations were made. I notice that Judge North of Riverside is being prominently mentioned for the position of Judge of the Supreme Court. I am honored by the personal acquaintance of the Judge, and take pleasure in saying that none in California is more worthy of the eminent robe than he. Appointed by President Lincoln to the Judgeship of the Circuit Court of the United States for one of the Territories, he filled that office with distinguished ability until failing health compelled him to resign when he removed to California and in connection with Dr. James R. Greves, founded the now flourishing colony of Riverside. Possessing a mind of great brilliance and acute perception, and deep discriminating judgment, his long experience at the bar and in the office of U. S. Circuit Court peculiarly fit him for the Supreme Bench. Added to this, his high moral character and his great goodness of heart are qualifications not to be overlooked in a candidate for the Judgeship. The public school of Orange will close tomorrow (Friday) with appropriate exercises. The marriage of Mr. Charles McDougall of San Diego county and Miss Viola Harwood, daughter of N. D. Harwood, will take place this evening (Thursday) at the residence of the bride's father. They expect to leave immediately for San Diego, where it is to be hoped, love and harmony will make their home a paradise of happiness and joy through life. The best wishes of numerous friends will greet their union. Our postmaster, Mr. N. D. Harwood, has been appointed a deputy clerk for registration of voters, and every citizen should see to it that his name is duly registered before the first of August, as in neglect of this he will lose his vote. Some of our farmers have been experimenting this year with Odessa wheat, with the most flattering results. The straw is clean and bright, with large heads well filled with a plump, hard berry, and will yield, it is estimated, from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre. The success of this experiment will induce a more extensive seedling for the next crop. The mining interest is looking up again, and many of our citizens are becoming enthusiastic over the embryo possessions of wealth in the precious metals. We hope they may not be deceived, but suggest to them to keep in mind that in mining, as in everything else, it requires money to make money. Thermometrical Record.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Though nothing has appeared under the above heading for two or three weeks, don't think we are defunct; nor have we migrated elsewhere, and to show you we are still flourishing, we append the following items. To-morrow, "Children's Day," will be celebrated in the M. E. Church, singing by the children, with appropriate services. The sermon will be preached by the pastor. The baptisms of the infants of Dr. McCoy and J. Sherwood were the first celebrated in the new Prebyterian Church, on Sunday last. We are glad to report that Miss Patterson and Everet Trefethern are regaining their health. Their appearance in public again will be generally welcomed. Bee men evidently appreciate our "evergreen pastures." Being stolved out in Silverado and Santiago, they are transporting their bees down here. The "Glorious Fearth!" Are we to celebrate? Our success last year surely warrants our commemorating it again this. J. Caldwell, who is boring a well for J. Savage, has obtained water at 240 feet, flowing two inches. The election of a school trustee takes place on Saturday next, between the hours of 7 p.m. and Children do not die of the group to whom Dr. Wm. Hall's Baleam for the Lungs is administered.
