Fever Mixture... $1 a bottle Aprentient Black Pills... $1 a dozen START ANOTHER COLONY. The success of the colony of Anaheim has been so marked—its rise and progress has been so widely heralded, that it seems strange that the experiment has not been more widely imitated. Not one of the many colonies in the State took pattern after Anaheim, and yet the result shows that the method employed at the beginning was the best, cheapest and most effective way of giving birth to the colony and rearing it until the period of infancy and expense was passed. The scheme which was found to work successfully twenty-two years ago, will, we predict, be found to suit the present age even better, if, as we hope, another such colony scheme is attempted. We will suppose that there are twenty families, neighbors, in some of the old States or in Canada who desire to come West and make a home in this young and growing State. We will suppose, further, that they cannot dispose of their property at the present time, but that with returning prosperity there is a reasonable chance of being able to sell it in a year or two. Let them form an organization, each paying into the general fund an equal sum—say $100 each. That would make a fund of $2,000. Let their agent or superintendent in California buy a tract of six hundred acres, which would give each stockholder thirty acres—fully enough land, in our opinion. Now, we believe that land for which the individual purchaser would have to pay $30 or $40 an acre, could be bought for at least $20 an agricultural and horticultural items. It is said that Mr. J. E. Burke, of Los Nietos, will this year clear about $5,000 from his forty acres planted in walnuts. Mr. Ance Gwin’s thresher done a good day’s work on Ballestero’s place last week. It threshed 736 sacks of barley, averaging 115 pounds to the sack. Mr. R. Nadean has shut down his sugar beet works and leaves for Vallejo. Last week he shipped twenty tons of dried beets to San Francisco. He goes to Vallejo to inquire into the process of manufacturing beet sugar. The young orange grove of Mr. Marshall Haight is making a wonderful growth. Buds which were inserted last June now show a growth of nearly six feet. In a year or two the grove will be one of the finest and most valuable in these parts. A new danger monaces the farmer. A gentleman who has traveled over the greater portion of the county says that the winter rains will be here before two-thirds of the grain now in stack is threshed, unless more threshing machines are brought here, which is not at all likely. This same state of affairs prevails in other parts of the State. A Washington special says: M. de Lacra-telle, sent by the French Government to inspect California vineyards, has written to the Agricultural Department that the same insects and diseases are to be found on the American as the French vines, but not of so destructive a character. He expresses the opinion that many French vinegrowers will emigrate to California to embark in the business there. The Santa Ana wind of this country is the balmy breath of an angel as compared with a full-grown Florida cycone. A recent gale which swept over that country of oranges and alligators stripped the groves of the nearly ripe fruit, and so widespread is the ADVICE To those Leaving Anaheim for Foreign Parts.

Fever Mixture... $1 a bottle Apterient Black Pills... $1 a dozen These remedies are known to be specifics and are rapidly gaining a world-wide reputation.

Location of Principal place of Business, Anaheim, Los Angeles County, California. NOTICE IS HEREDY GIVEN THAT AT A MEETING of the Directors held on the 28th day of August, 1880, an assessment of five dollars ($5) per share was levied upon the sold capital stock of the corporation, payable immediately in United States gold coin to the Secretary. Any stock up which the assessor shall remain unpaid on the 28th day of September, 1880, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on the 36th day of October, 1880, to pay the delinquent assessment, together with the costs of advertising and the expenses of sale.

ANAHEIM WATER COMPANY. Location of Principal Place of Business, Anaheim, California. NOTICE—THERE ARE DELINQUENT UPON the following described stock on account of Assessment No. 13, leased July 7, 1880, the cannot dispose of their property at the present time, but that with returning prosperity there is a reasonable chance of being able to sell it in a year or two. Let them form an organization, each paying into the general fund an equal sum—say $100 each. That would make a fund of $2,000. Let their agent or superintendent in California buy a tract of six hundred acres, which would give each stockholder thirty acres—fully enough land, in our opinion. Now, we believe that land for which the individual purchaser would have to pay $30 or $40 an acre, could be bought for at least $20 an acre for colony purposes. Wherever there is a successful colony, the contiguous land is greatly increased in value, and the owners of large tracts are ever willing to make concessions to such enterprises. Six hundred acres of land at $20 per acre would take $1,200 out of the general fund, and the remaining $800 would go a long way towards preparing the land to receive the trees and vines, surveying the lots, etc. The subsequent assessments need be small and only levied at long intervals; and assuming that good judgment has been used in selecting a site and that the superintendent of the company's vineyards and orchards has done fairly by his employers, the members of the association could come here three years after the purchase of the land and find awaiting them twenty valuable, beautiful and productive vineyards, the like of which could not be produced in ten years in any other part of this continent. We contend that this is the best and cheapest way to start a colony. Any reasonable man will admit that much better results will be attained by putting six hundred acres of vineyard under the management of one practical man than under the dominion of twenty inexperienced men, each having sole control over his thirty acres and free to practice upon it whatever whims and crotches he may have imbibed in regard to vineyard management. Besides, the colonists would escape the annoyances, the anxieties, the care and the expense of planting the vines and waiting for their maturity. Until the vineyards had reached a paying age, the owners could pursue their usual avocations and only enter upon their new career after the worst phases of the matter were over and everything was comparatively plain sailing. There is no lack of men here, experts in viniculture, whose services could be secured to manage just such a scheme as we have outlined, and who would bring it to fruition with the least possible expense and trouble. On the selection of the superintendent much depends, and too much care cannot be exercised in making a choice. He should be a practical vineyardist as well as a clear-headed business man, and it would be the height of folly to import a manager or superintendent. The knowledge which he should possess could only be had by personal experience obtained here. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. A Washington special says: M. de Lacra-telle, sent by the French Government to inspect California vineyards, has written to the Agricultural Department that the same insects and diseases are to be found on the American as the French vines, but not so destructive a character. He expresses the opinion that many French vinegrowers will emigrate to California to embark in the business there. The Santa Ana wind of this country is the balmy breath of an angel as compared with a full-grown Florida cychee. A recent gale which swept over that country of oranges and alligator stripped the groves of the nearly ripe fruit, and so wide-spread is the storm that there is no doubt that the Florida orange crop this year has been destroyed. The season has been unusually productive, the fruit being entirely full grown, but now lies on the ground entirely worthless. It was estimated that the yield would be about a million boxes, and it is doubtful whether there is enough left to make a shipment for the northern market. The loss is estimated at $1,500,000. “The Culture of Sumac in Sicily” is the title of a special report issued by the Department of Agriculture, and a copy of which has just reached us. A description of the manner of its preparation for market is also given, together with many valuable hints regarding the value of different kinds of sumac. This plant flourishes luxuriantly on the poorest soil. It abounds on all the sandy wastes near Anaheim and thrives where no other vegetation can be seen. The dried leaves were ground and used in the Anaheim tannery, and found to answer very well for tanning purposes. If there is a demand for sumac—a fact which we will endeavor soon to ascertain—much barren land could be utilized in raising the plant. The variety grown in Sicily is Rhus Coriaria, and it would be an easy matter to obtain shoots of that variety through the Agricultural Department. The plant is propagated from the young shoots which form each year about the base of an older plant, but they may also be produced from cuttings made from young but well-pressed wood, rooted in the same manner as are grape vines. A committee of the St. Helena Vinicultural Society made the following interesting report at a late meeting of the society: Your committee heretofore appointed to investigate the subject of summer pruning and suckering beg leave to make the following report: We made careful examination of a number of vineyards where no top suckering had been done and found the shoots or canes grown together in a thick, tangled manner, with the grapes in an almost inextricable confusion, the canes long, spindling and affording but poor and indifferent apurs for next year's crop. Had she shoots been thinned out at the proper time the remaining ones would have grown larger, the fruit more perfect, the weight fully if larger, and the vines in a much better condition for next year's fruiting. We also considered the matter of summer pruning or topping and feel satisfied from close investigation that where vines are allowed to run without shortening in they first shoot up, then as they become heavy and nothing to support them, they fall to the ground and trail along, in some cases through other vines, not unfrequently to a distance of from 15 to 20 feet, leaving the main stock, where the best grapes are closely packed, exposed to the burning rays of sun to scorched and more or less injured every year, whereas, had the vines been shortened early in the spring, lateral shoots would have sprung from the cane strong healthy foliage in shape of a dome would have sheltered School of Gymnastics. — Gymnastics and Fencing for BOYS, and Gymnastics and Calligraphy for GIRLS taught twice a week in the old school-house.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. The case with which the Constitution could be amended was a point upon which great stress was laid by the supporters of that document, and it certainly is one of the few admirable provisions to be found in the law. If we mistake not, a great many proposed amendments will come before the next Legislature and be by them submitted to the people. It is worthy of remark that the Chronicle is the first paper to agitate the question of amending the Constitution. The decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of the State Board of Equalization, moves it to way that "the decision leaves matters substantially as they were before the State Board was created, and presents a just ground for agitation in favor of such an amendment to the Constitution as will make that Board what it was intended to be—a final equalizer of taxes both as to counties and to individuals." The decision which has raised the Chronicle's irre, is that the State Board, in asserting the power to interfere with individual assessments, contravenes the intent of Section 9, Article XIII of the Constitution. The Court holds that the State Constitution limits the powers of the Board to the equalization of the assessment rolls of the various counties of the State, to the comparing of the assessment rolls of each county with the assessment rolls of all the other counties, and to make the assessment conform to the true value in money of the property contained in the respective rolls, and conferring on the local or county Boards the power only to increase or lower the individual assessments upon the roll of their respective counties, making them equal with each other and equivalent to the true value of the property assessed. We also considered the matter of summer pruning or topping and feel satisfied from close investigation that where vines are allowed to run without shortening in they first shoot up, then as they become heavy and nothing to support them, they fall to the ground and trail along, in some cases through other vines, not unfrequently to a distance of from 15 tc 20 feet, leaving the main stock, where the best grapes are, closely packed, exposed to the burning rays of the sun to be scorched and more or less injured every year, whereas, had the vines been shortened early in the spring, lateral shoots would have sprung from the cane, strong, healthy foliage in the shape of a dome would have sheltered the grapes and the result a full and superior crop. We therefore recommend— 1st. Suckering or thinning out extra shoots when the growth attains from 12 to 15 inches, especially among Black Malvasias and Chanselae Fontaineblean. 2d. Summer pruning (topping) when the new shoots attain about 30 inches being careful to cut as little as possible, one bud being sufficient to stop canes from running. As all the shoots do not grow uniformly, it will be found necessary to renew the operation one week later, when backward shoots will have attained the requisite length to be tapped. This last operation being performed, no more pruning should be done during the summer except in cases of unusual growths. Chicago, September 21st.-Mrs. Hamard, of Monticello, Ill., gave birth to five babies on Sunday. Two of them lived. Menshin, September 22d.-The city is jubilant and having a grand holiday to celebrate its continued good health. There are many people tres outside of the city including the Governor and many notables. WASHINGTON, September 21st.-The United States Minister at Peking informs the Department of State that the U.S. Consul at Hongkong reports, during the quarter ending June 30, 1880, that 5,007 emigrants left Hongkong for the United States, of which seven were females and 44 boys.

GAZETTE. R 25, 1880. Political Points. "Pacheco is the noblest work of God." — Journal. "A brute in manners, a beast in morality and an apostate in religion," is the certificate of character given to the Rev. Kalbech by J. McM. Shafter in a Republican speech. By advertisement it will be seen that Hon. R. Pacheco and other speakers will address the people of Anaheim on next Monday evening. All are invited. The Sued Californische Post, of Los Angeles, a Democratic paper, announces that in view of the bad record of Mr. Leach it cannot support him for Congress. It will support Pacheco. The Anaheim Democratic club holds meetings twice a month. The officers are: V. Montgomery, President; Dr. J. B. Gardiner, W. J. Smith and T. L. Gannon, Vice Presidents; B. Dreyfus, Treasurer; A. Rimpan, Secretary; R. Menzel, Sergeant-at-arms. The Anaheim Greenback Club holds meetings in Judge Bailey's office. The President is Henry Werder and the Secretary Henry Webmeyer. A full complement of officers will be elected at a meeting to be held on Wednesday week. A fine instance of the lion lying down with the lamb is to be found in the fact that, in the Monte, the Democratic and Republican clubs hold their meetings in the same hall.—Herald. The fact that there is only one hall in El Monte may have something to do with it. A meeting of Republicans was held on last Saturday evening to form a club. D. E. Miles presided and W. H. Henderson acted as Secretary. Committees on Permanent Organization, Constitution and Canvassing were appointed. As will be seen by advertisement, a meeting for organization will be held to-night. The opinion is steadily gaining ground Editor Gazette: — My attention has been called to an article on the revision of the Bible, in your issue of the 11th instat. It would, I think, convey a wrong impression to the general reader. You say: "The changes from the old and familiar text are many and radical. The mistakes of the early translators have been corrected; apparent contradictions have been smoothed over and harmonized. According to these latest translations, the Bible at present in use is brimming over with gross inaccuracies." You then give a number of those inaccuracies, among others, that St. Mark says that wine was given to the Saviour at the Crucifixion, while St. Matthew says vinegar. A comparison of the words used in the original would show that there was no contradiction. But do you say, "All people are not able to refer to the Greek?" Very well, take any good dictionary and turn to the word "vinegar;" you will find it derived from the French words vin aigre, meaning sour wine. St Mark in his concise narrative simply states that wine was given; St. Matthew, more diffuse, mentions the kind of wine. Language is constantly changing. One has but to study the literature of the Elizabethan age to see what a multitude of words had a different meaning than now; but no change in language can effect the fundamental doctrines of Christianity as taught in the Bible. The scholars of this generation have sources of information unknown to those of the time of King James; but while better able perhaps to give more exact translations of certain words, they have not, so far as has yet been shown, discovered aught that need shake the faith of those who look upon the Bible as the Word of God.

The opinion is steadily gaining ground that county officers must be elected this year, notwithstanding the County Government Bill has been declared unconstitutional. It is held that the clause in the Constitution relating to elections is self-operative; that is, it is mandatory and requires no Legislative enactment to put it into operation. The following is an extract from a letter written by a San Francisco lawyer to a gentleman in Anaheim: "The new Constitution, as I understand it, provides that the present incumbents shall hold only one year, and not until their successors are elected. I conclude, therefore, that all these offices at least become vacant at the expiration of the year, and that they must be filled by appointment or election. If the new Constitution is self-operating (about which there is serious question) then there must be an election and the officers elect will take the office. If not self-operating, then the Board of Supervisors must appoint and fill all these vacancies." The Supreme Court has the question under consideration, and will render a decision in a few days. Meanwhile, we observe that the various candidates are not relaxing their efforts to secure the suffrages of their fellow-citizens. Gen. Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President, sent the following telegram to Gen. Plaisted: "I congratulate you on the grand victory you have made in Maine for the Greenback-Labor party. It will inspire our friends with confidence and strength in time for the great battle which remains to be fought. I hope you are elected. It is most amusing to see the Democratic leaders masquerading behind the Greenback party, and calling our victory a Democratic boom. They fail to tell the public that you were nominated as a straight Greenbacker, and the Democrats could not have carried the State by 40,000. They fail, also, to state that they requested you to make pledges to them when they gave you their endorsement, and that you peremptorily declined; that their State Central Committee subsequently demanded pledges of you, and upon your second refusal, said committee requested you to withdraw as a candidate, and that you declined that also. The Democrats in Maine showed their good sense by voting the Greenback ticket. Let us rejoice." Gen. Weaver's objections to a fusion with the Democrats on the electoral ticket did not seem to carry great weight with the Greenback Convention which met in Maine to nominate Presidential Electors. The Convention numbered 465 members, and by an overwhelming majority they decided to give the Democrats a representation on the electoral ticket. Subsequently, Solou Chase, the leading Greenbacker in the State, withdrew from the Convention followed by seventy-two belters, and held a convention of their own, and nominated a straight Greenback ticket. It is said that a majority of the Greenbacks in the State are with Chase and against the Fusionists. Late telegrams from Maine indicate the St. Matthew, more diffuse, mentions the kind of wine. Language is constantly changing. One has but to study the literature of the Elim-bethian age to see what a multitude of words had a different meaning then than now; but no change in language can effect the fundamental doctrine of Christianity as taught in the Bible. The scholars of this generation have sources of information unknown to those of the time of King James; but while better able perhaps to give more exact translations of certain words, they have not, so far as has yet been shown, discovered ought that need shake the faith of those who look upon the Bible as the Word of God. One thing more. The revision has been carried on by good and learned men, who began the work from conscientious motives. Their aim has been to furnish those who are unable to study the Scriptures in the original with an exact translation as possible. The Christian, be his creed what it may, is content that scholars should study and revise, nor wonders that mistakes of the early translators are found (since none have ever claimed that they were inspired); nor can he doubt but that four hundred years from now another revision may be needed. But he is assured that neither now, or then at any time, will aught be discovered to shake the faith or alter the belief of the believer. J. A. E. Anaheim, September 16th, 1880. I Wish Everybody to Know. Rev. Geo. H. Thayer, an old citizen of this vicinity known to everyone as a most influential citizen, and Christian minister of the M. E. Church, just this moment stopped in our store to say "I wish everybody to know that I consider both myself and wife owe our lives to Shiloh's Consumptive Cure."

Coming up of food after eating, Low Spirits, etc? No! It is positively your own fault if you do. Go to your Druggist, Wm. M. Higgins, and get a Bottle of Green's August Flower for 75 cents, and your cure is certain; but if you doubt this, get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try it. Two doses will relieve you.

The following beautiful letter was written by the romantic rover of the seas, Admiral Banning, and is given to the world at this late day by Forney's Progress: WILMINGTON, LOS ANGELES CO., CALIFORNIA, August 22, 1880. General W. S. Hancock, next President of the United States, Governor's Island, New York. My dear General:—Not "From Greenland's key mountains to India's coral strand, Where Africa's sunny fountains pour down their golden sands." But from the bright waters of the sparkling Columbia to Colorado's sluggish stream, comes the glorious tidings of your approaching triumph. Yours will be no doubtful election; your majority will be so great as to convince the Americans people that since the days of Washington no man was more entitled to their love and gratitude than the hero of Gettysburg. The approaching election all over our country will be a silent and orderly affair, but the ballots that are dropped by freemen on that day, while they may be silent, will be many powerful than armies of steel-clad warriors, more resistless than the torrent of Niagara or the wild waves of the angry ocean. Never, since the earliest dawn of civilization, did "coming events cast their shadows before" so unmistakably as now. All good Christians, warriors and admirers say, "May the glorious Hannack win," which is school in the breast of your old friend and obedient servant, PRINNAS BANNING. No Deception Used. It is strange that so many people will continue to suffer day after day with dyspepsia, liver complaints, constipation, sour stomach, general debility when they can pressure at our store SHILON'S VITALIZER free of cost if it does not cure or relieve them.
