WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 26, 1881 ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH — Services every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. All are invited to attend Sunday School at 10 o'clock. Kleinigkeiten. — A sharp shock of earthquake was felt about 3:20 on the morning of the 19th. — The Board of Town Trustees will meet in regular session on next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. — Mr. T. A. Darling is planting a couple of acres of fruit trees on land recently purchased by him adjoining his residence near the railroad depot. — Those who are fond of olives should purchase some of the lot which Mr. Langenberger has for sale. They are cheaper than the bottled article and far better. — A. Fleyenheimer of New York and E.C. Parbes of St. Louis, have been in town for a couple of days past on a temperance mission. They are buying wine for shipment to the respective cities. — The Los Angeles Commercial will enter upon its fifth volume on the 6th of March and will commemorate that event by issuing an illustrated paper containing elaborate articles on the resources of this county. — Mrs. Kellogg has presented us with a very fine specimen of the Navel orange grown on the Johnson place at Orange. It measured fourteen inches in circumference. It was too tempting to keep and has gone the way of all oranges. — Mr. Carey of Westminster found in the gizzard of a chicken he killed the other day a small lump of gold, about half the size of a pea. It is supposed that the chicken picked it from the sand which Mr. Carey hauls from the beach and strokes in the yard. — At the request of many subscribers in Anaheim and Westminster, Mr. J. E. Preston will resume the role of correspondent from the latter place, and a weekly letter from his pen will be a feature of the Gazette hereafter, in times gone by we had a very able staff of correspondents in the various neighboring towns, and their letters were appreciated. We hope soon to obtain regular correspondents again, in the places not now represented. And we take this occasion to say for the hundredth time that short communications on live topics are solicited from all parts of the county. Such communications are, of course, subject to editorial revision, excision or outright rejection. It we published all the communications received at this office, the paper would no doubt be much livelier and spicier, but being a man of peace we successfully wrestle with the temptation to place our paper in the category mentioned. — There has been a general error as to the recent transaction between Colonel Charles Crocker and Don Juan Forster. The President of the Southern Pacific has not purchased Don Juan Forster's property outright, but has simply loaned him money on it for a period of four years, giving him ample time and opportunity for redemption, or selling in whole or part. Don Juan Forster very reasonably expects, during that time, to be able to sell in parcels, thus securing for himself the Santa Margarita homestead, with three thousand acres, and the Las Flores ranch house of his son, Don Marco Forster, with 2500 acres. — Herald. — The artichoke as a food for hogs has a rival in the pie-melon, which from all accounts grows in even greater profusion than the first-named delicacy. Mr. S. E. Jones, while visiting a farm at Artesia last week, saw a patch of ground about 60x80 feet on which were growing four plants, and the product of these plants were eight hundred melons, ranging in size from a few inches to over a foot. The ground was literally covered over with them. The owner of the farm says they are the best and cheapest kind of food for hogs. — Mr. and Mrs. Dunham entertained a number of their friends at the hotel on Friday evening of last week, and did it in such a way that the greatest possible amount of en- Mr. Carey of Westminster found in the gizzard of a chicken he killed the other day a small lump of gold, about half the size of a pea. It is supposed that the chicken picked it from the sand which Mr. Carey hauls from the beach and strews in the yard. A lady named Mrs. Donnelly, en route from San Francisco to Tucson, where she is to take charge of a school, stopped over in Los Angeles a day to do some shopping and had the misfortune to lose her purse containing $115—all the money she had. The rumor that there will be an excursion to the East under the auspices of the Railroad Company as soon as the connection with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road is made, turns out to have no foundation in fact, the S. P. R. R. Co. never having authorized such statement. The Common Council of Los Angeles have fixed the water rates as follows: Inside the city limits—Per day per irrigating head, $2.50; half day, $1.50; per night, $2; per hour, 75 cents. Outside the city limits—Per day per irrigating head, $5; halt day $3.50; per night, $3. The French ship Papillon will be loaded at Wilmington with wheat and honey for Liverpool by Walter S. Maxwell. We understand that the amount of honey to be shipped by this vessel is one hundred tons. Negotiations are in progress to charter another vessel to be loaded at this point as soon as the Papillon has been dispatched. The house of Simon White, a farmer near Sepulveda Station, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 17th inst. He and his wife were awakened by the firing of a pistol that was exploded by the fire, and had barely time to get their three children and escape from the burning building. Had it not been for the pistol the whole family would probably have been cremated. The Anaheim Brass Band will on next Friday night inaugurate a series of social "hops" which will be given every two weeks until further notice at the Magnolia Hall. This effort to provide amusement during the coming summer should meet with encouragement. The price of admission to these hops has been fixed at fifty cents per couple. As previously announced, Rev.

The Anaheim Brass Band will on next Friday night inaugurate a series of social "hops" which will be given every two weeks until further notice at the Magnolia Hall. This effort to provide amusement during the coming summer should meet with encouragement. The price of admission to these hops has been fixed at fifty cents per couple. As previously announced, Rev. Mr. Trew paid Anaheim a visit during the week, partly for the purpose of recreation, as he has been suffering from an attack of malarial fever. Few old residents meet with as warm a welcome as does Mr. Trew on his occasional visits here, as our people honor him for his worth as a man. He was accompanied on a visit to our office by Mr. Shanly, a Canadian friend who is spending the winter at San Gabriel. Mr. S. is Secretary and Engineer of one of the colonial railroads, and we hope to induce him to give a short comparative statement of passenger and freight rates in Canada and California. Messrs. Stough and Gannon, blacksmith and wagonmaker respectively, have leased the commodious shop on Lemon Street and are now fairly installed therein. Mr. Stough's ability as a blacksmith and horse-shoer is known the county over, he having been in business here steadily for many years past. Mr. Gannon has also well earned the reputation of being a first-class workman, reasonable in his charges and invariably giving his customers satisfaction. All having work in their line, or who desire to purchase any of the celebrated Osborn farming machinery or Studebaker farm wagons, should call on Messrs. Stough and Gannon, who will give the most favorable prices and terms. Auction Sale. The household furniture and other personal property belonging to Mrs. A. C. Kellogg will be sold at auction sale on Monday morning at 10 o'clock on the premises. The sale will be without reserve. M. A. Mendelson, Auctioneer. With this issue is sent out a circular, a perusal of which by housekeepers will be found profitable. Mr. Cahen is selling everything in the grocery line at very low figures, and he carries an immense stock which is constantly being replenished. At Anaheim every tramp is to have the choice between work on the streets at $1 a day and imprisonment on a diet of bread and water. He will probably take neither, but stay religiously away from such a practical town. S. F. Chronicle. The railroad company has taken $6 per ton from their rates on grain from Anaheim to certain parts of Arizona Territory. This is a large reduction for the company to make voluntarily. The Eldredge, Victor and Howe sewing machines are kept in stock by Messrs. F. & J. Backs. The first named is a marvel of simplicity and proves a favorite wherever introduced. Mr. A. Holdridge, who dislocated his hip a couple of weeks ago by a fall from a tree, is we are glad to say, getting better. Goodman & Rimpau yesterday received a large case of gentlemen's hats. The new styles are very neat and comfortable. The evening of Friday, March 11th, is fixed as the date of the first hop to be given at Magnolia Hall by the Anaheim Brass Band. Charge your memory with that important fact and be sure and attend. EDITOR GAZETTE Ladies' Aid Society thanks to the Marriage Ball for the made by them to net proceeds of the which with the most furnish substantial The next meeting held in the Magna afternoon, March attendance is requier mer the meetings unless specially c CORRECTIONS Westminster Items. The letter of "J. T." has reminded us that no items from here have appeared in your columns lately, and the same fact has occurred to others, as many have accosted us since reading J. T.'s letter with "What has become of our correspondent?" "Why are we not represented?" etc. So we will once again try to keep you informed of current events here. But we cannot do this without the assistance of those in our midst, and if those knowing of items of interest will inform us, we shall be glad to forward them to you. Mrs. Pitt Stevens lectured here lately to full houses, and her visit has resulted in the Good Templars' Lodge being re-established. The meetings, we believe, are on Friday evenings. The Rev. F. Field and Mrs. Field have returned after a six weeks' vacation in San Diego. The Evangelists are now holding forth in the M. E. church. Mr. Hall, of Illinois, is visiting at Josiah McCoy's. Mr. Lyman also has a visitor from that State, who, we hear, is enquiring as to the adaptability of this section for a home. Our farmers here are men of faith, as a large acreage has already been sown to small grain. In a future letter we will give figures. But the hot spell of the last few days has made the sanguine ones a little dubious as to results. The Rev. B. A. Washburne has moved his residence to Main street and now occupies the house lately vacated by Mr. Hull. P. The Advantage of Advertising. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Allow one who has tried it, if you please, to suggest, not merely to merchants, manufacturers and others who already understand one great secret of success, but to the people in general the advantage of using the newspaper to further their own convenience and profit. My experience was as follows: Wishing a certain labor performed, I inquired around among those I thought most likely to do it, but found no one who was not already too busy to under- The Advantage of Advertising. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Allow one who has tried it, if you please, to suggest, not merely to merchants, manufacturers and others who already understand one great secret of success, but to the people in general the advantage of using the newspaper to further their own convenience and profit. My experience was as follows: Wishing a certain labor performed, I inquired around among those I thought most likely to do it, but found no one who was not already too busy to undertake the job. Some three weeks of useless inquiry suggested the idea of advertising. I did so, at a cost of fifty cents, and before the number of the Gazette containing the advertisement was fairly distributed I had applicants enough to choose from, and the work was done. Later, I had an article to dispose of. Similar inquiry only caused similar delay. Then again tried the Gazette, at an outlay of one dollar, the result being that the number of applicants enabled me to obtain a much better price than I would have been obliged to accept had I, in seeking, found only a single purchaser, and thus saving me at least five times the cost of the advertisement. I consider, then, that I am perfectly safe in advising anyone who has anything for which he has no use, to try the effect of a few lines in a newspaper; or if he wishes anything—a horse or cow, a wagon or plow, a man to cut hay or stow in a mow, just call on the Gazette and you'll show them now. Is not that so? So thinks A SUBSCRIBER. Rain.—Encouraging Facts. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I was asked a few days since what precedents we had for expecting more rain after the holidays than had fallen previously. As the reply may interest others, I submit the following from my memoranda: Rainfall to Dec. 31—inches. Rainfall after Dec. 31—inches. Total rainfall 1873...4¾ 11 15¾ 1874...2 10¾ 12¾ 1875...4 8¾ 12¾ 1876...¾ 4¾ 4¾ 1877...3 1-16 14 3-16 17¼ 1878...1 7-16 4¾ 63-16 1879...5¾ 8¾ 14¾ 1880...5¾ — Yours, E. S. S. The Ladies' Aid Society. EDITOR GAZETTE:—The members of the Ladies' Aid Society desire to return their thanks to the Managers of the late Masquerade Ball for the handsome contribution made by them to the Society's fund. The net proceeds of the ball amounted to $29.20, which with the money already on hand will furnish substantial help to many in distress. The next meeting of the Society will be held in the Magnolia Hall on Wednesday afternoon, March 9th, at two o'clock. A full attendance is requested, as during the summer the meetings will be but once a month, most important literary enterprise this century has seen, is being waited for with curiosity and anxiety by hundreds of thousands. It is not generally known that the first edition 500,000 copies has already been manufactured in England, and 100,000 copies are said to be already in New York City, not one of them are permitted to be sold. They are awaiting a telegram from the authorities in England authorizing their issue. The first copies can only be had at the extravagant price of $10 per copy. The Literary Revolution proposes fully to meet the demands which its army of friends are making upon it by doing probably the quickest work in book-making which has ever yet been accomplished. Arrangements have been fully made to put the entire book into type inside of 24 hours from the time a printed copy of the English edition can be procured, and within three days at least 10,000 copies will be bound ready for delivery to waiting purchasers, and at least 5,000 copies will be manufactured every day thereafter, until the demand is met. It will be printed in large, beautiful type, neatly and strongly bound in a volume of about 500 pages, and sold at the nominal price of 30 cents. A fine edition in half Russia, gilt top, will be sold for 60 cents, and one in full Turkey morocco, gilt edges, for $1.25. Of course, the popular demand will be enormous. Orders will be filled in the order in which they are received, with remittance. American Book Exchange, New York. Free of Cost. DR.
