At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the above company, held on last Saturday, the following officers were elected: B. Dreyfus, President; P. Hartung, Vice-President; J. P. Zeyn, Treasurer; Richard Melrose, Secretary. An assessment of $1 00 per share was levied, payable on or before May-16th. At the general meeting of stockholders held on the 8th instant several amendments to the by-laws were adopted. The sections as amended read as follows: Section 7 of Article II.: Shares may be transferred, by the signature of the proprietor or his attorney or legal representative, and delivery of the certificate to the Secretary; but such transfer is not valid until the same is so entered upon the books of the Company, to show the names of the parties by and to whom transferred, the number of the shares, and the date of the transfer; but before a new certificate is issued, the location of the land to which the stock is to be applied must be stated to the Board of Directors, who may refuse to issue a certificate it in their judgment it is not profitable or expedient for the company to carry water to said land. Section 1 of Article III.: The regular annual meeting of the stockholders of this company shall be held at the office of the company on the first Saturday in April of each year. Section 7 of Article III.: Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held weekly on Saturdays at 3 o'clock P.M. at the office of the company in the Town of Anaheim. Section 2 of Article IV.: Said Board [of Directors] must, immediately after their election, meet and organize by electing a President, a Vice-President and a Treasurer. They shall also elect a Secretary, who must be a stockholder of the Company. Section 4 of Article V.: At the regular meeting of the Directors on the first Saturday in July of each year, a Zanjero shall be elected for one year, who shall enter upon the duties of his office immediately; provided, that the Zanjero in office at the date of the adoption of this by-law shall continue in office until July, 1883, and until his successor is elected. Section 5 of Article V.: One month previous to such election the Board of Directors LOOKING FOR Prosperous Condition of Land on Easy Terrain. Anaheim is, to use an e-mail "looking up." The county never looked better than its prospects for a large fruit crop more satisfactory; there will hay and grain and doubtless corn. Under these circumstances wondered at that the people happy, or that business resisted and has brisked up in fying manner? And above and beyond for the present cheerful coo is the legal decision giving amount of water sufficient here. No greater piece of ever befallen the place that restored confidence and saved everyone with new energy means not only continued homes already established that the number of homes quadrupled and that our country will be made to yield thousands where it now snags. It means that land held at $40 or $50 per-acre from $100 to $200 per-acre; in fact, it means a body dustry in this place. There is no place in So where good land is as cheap. The owners of the Stearns stance, have large bodies of growing as large crops of g lemons as are produced as part of the State, which tha to suit at from $25 to $50 per present price, but it ca that these figures will always in the face of the fact that this vicinity is advancing in time to buy, and those for land on which to settle and see what inducements them. It should be born that the owners of the R give very liberal and easy chasers, so that a twenty c is within the reach of me means. Mr. R. J. Northam, Ranchos, has removed his Mrs. J. A. Emery returned from her Eastern trip on Monday. Mrs. W. B. Robb also returned from a prolonged visit to the East on Wednesday. A young child named Davis was drowned in the Chavez Street zanja in Los Angeles on Tuesday. This is the second drowning in the same zanja within a year. The death of Tommy Peters at the Stockton Insane Asylum is announced. He was a well known stage driver of Los Angeles, and has been in the Asylum about a year. The round house of Mr. Hinde near Anaheim is to be matched by another architectural eccentricity at Passadena. The Lightfoot brothers of that place are building a triangular house. A new bank has been organized at Santa Ana. It is to be known as the Commercial Bank, and among the incorporators are Messrs. Halliday, Bartlett and others of Santa Ana, and Mr. E. F. Spence of Los Angeles. We had a call on Wednesday from Mr. H. C. Wiley, who is just in from the California Southern terminus. Tracklaying has been stopped on that road, pending the arrival of a cargo of rails now on the way. The track is laid as far as San Jacinto. The trial of J. W. Layman of Santa Ana on a charge of violating the Sunday law resulted in a disagreement of the jury, which stood six for conviction and six for acquittal. The case was to have been tried again yesterday but a change of venue was taken to San Juan Capistrano. From Mr. Brainard Smith we learn that the bee-keepers are preparing for the harvest season. The same element of uncertainty enters into the calculations of bee-keepers as into those of grain raisers, consequently it is unsafe to hazard a prediction in regard to the yield of honey this year. But that there will be some crop, all agree. No election was held in Mountain View School District last Saturday, although one was called for the purpose of voting upon the question of raising a tax of $1650 to be expended in building a school house. It was found that the sum was in excess of what the assessed valuation of property in the district would allow; and it is probable that an effort will be made to issue bonds. There was a slight white frost on Monday morning, but not hard enough to injure the most tender plant. In 1864 or '65 there was a severe and injurious frost in this county as late as the middle of May, but with that single exception all the damaging frosts which have occurred here have been in the President, a Vice-President and a Treasurer. They shall also elect a Secretary, who must be a stockholder of the Company. Section 4 of Article V.: At the regular meeting of the Directors on the first Saturday in July of each year, a Zanjero shall be elected for one year, who shall enter upon the duties of his office immediately; provided, that the Zanjero in office at the date of the adoption of this by-law shall continue in office until July, 1883, and until his successor is elected. Section 5 of Article V.: One month previous to such election the Board of Directors shall define the duties of, and regulations pertaining to such office; and the same shall be open for inspection in the Secretary's office, and shall advertise for bids which must be handed to the Secretary before the day of election. Add to Section 3 of Article VI., defining the duties of the Secretary, the following: "And shall make a full report at the annual meeting of stockholders of all receipts and disbursements of money by the Company, and everything of a general nature pertaining to the interests of the stockholders." Section 1 of Article VII.: The Secretary shall receive a monthly salary of $15 to be paid out of the funds of the Company at the expiration of every two months. Stockholders who desire a printed copy of the by-laws and amendments can procure them by applying to the Secretary. At the meeting to-day, the principal subject of discussion will be a bill for $10,000 presented by Thos. H. Smith Esq. for legal services rendered in the case of the Company against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. One of the burlesque anecdotes related of Oscar Wilde is that at the outset of his career as an asthethe he would repair to an eating-house about lunch-time; gaze ponsively at a lily for a half an hour, and then announce with a smack of satisfaction that he had dined. It is well that he absorbed the nutritment of the lily through the medium of his eyes, for had the flower got into his stomach there would have been an internal commotion that would have been painfully realistic. Such was the experience of Master Emil Dreyfus last Saturday. With the thoughtlessness of childhood he plucked a lily and sucked the juice through the stem. The result was that in a few hours the Doctor had him under treatment for a serious and well-defined case of poisoning, from which the little patient did not recover for a couple of days. The Board of Directors of the Sixth District Agricultural Association held a meeting in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The conclusion was reached that it was impossible to hold a Fair this year if the citizens of Los Angeles did not contribute financial aid, as the funds of the Association were at a low ebb. The Chairman reported that several propositions had been received, offering liberal donations for premiums and expenses from towns outside of the city, as these figures will always be in face of the fact that this vicinity is advancing in time to buy, and those for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land on which to settle and see what inducements they may be for land onwhichtosettleandseewhatinducementsthem.itshouldbebornthattheownersoftheRaigiveveryliberalandeasychasers,sothata twentydoyeswithinthereachofmeansmeans.

In 1864 or '65 there was a severe and injurious frost in this county as late as the middle of May, but with that single exception all the damaging frosts which have occurred here have been in the early part of the month of April. We may conclude, therefore, that the danger from that source is over for this season. Sheep shearing is in progress, and the clip is said to be remarkably good where the sheep are free from scab... The sheep on the San Joaquin ranch are doing finely. Grass is good, but very thin on the ground... Visel Brothers are on their way to Colorado with 2,200 head of sheep... Huber Zuber and Brother are taking 4,500 head of sheep (young ewes) to New Mexico. They bought them in the neighborhood of San Juan Capistrano at prices ranging from $1.90 to $2.25 after shearing. Anabeim now numbers among its citizens an enterprising and energetic young gentlemen who propose to do what he can towards making things hum in this vicinity. We allude to Mr. P. D. Gardemeyer, the proprietor of the Fountain. His latest venture is the lease for this season of that part of the Santiago Canyon where the picnics are held, and on Monday week he will inaugurate the season with a May day picnic, at which all kinds of games, prize races and the hundred other amusements incident to a picnic can be enjoyed. A large dancing platform will be erected and the Anaheim Brass Band will furnish the music. Full particulars will be given in the posters which will be printed in a day or two. The Board of Directors of the Sixth District Agricultural Association held a meeting in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The conclusion was reached that it was impossible to hold a Fair this year if the citizens of Los Angeles did not contribute financial aid, as the funds of the Association were at a low ebb. The Chairman reported that several propositions had been received, offering liberal donations for premiums and expenses, from towns outside of the city, as an inducement for the fair to be held at those places. Each proposal was reliably guaranteed. A committee was, however, appointed to canvass the city for contributions and endeavor to prevent the disgrace of having the Fair held in some interior town instead of in Los Angeles. In response to a request made by Mr. C. W. Moores, Principal of the Public Schools, Professor J. W. Redway of Los Angeles has consented to deliver a free lecture in Anaheim on the evening of Thursday, May 4th, on the subject, "The End of the Earth." The lecture will be illustrated by twenty-five views, and will be one of the most interesting ever delivered here. A more extended notice of the lecture will be given next week. Great anticipations of an enjoyable evening are indulged in by those who have been honored with an invitation to the Odd Fellow's social on next Wednesday evening. The various committees are taking pride in making every arrangement to insure success to the entertainment. Mr. C. C. Miller, the Engineer who surveyed the Anaheim Water Company's ditch last year, and who has been engaged in superintending the construction of an irrigating canal at Blythe City, A. T., has completed his work there and returned to River-side. Says the San Diego County rumor of a speedy road southward from San Francisco present time, the probable nection are stronger than remembered, the Southern cessar of the Texas Pacific of one-half of the ten thousand land grant made to That magnificent grant would between the California S Pacific.

Prosperous Condition of Things Cheap Land on Easy Terms Anaheim is, to use an expressive phrase, "looking up." The country round about never looked better than it does now; the prospects for a large fruit crop could not be more satisfactory; there will be fair crops of hay and grain and doubtless large crops of corn. Under these circumstances, it is to be wondered at that the people are hopeful and happy, or that business responds to the situation and has brisked up in the most gratifying manner? And above and beyond all these causes for the present cheerful condition of things is the legal decision giving to Anaheim an amount of water sufficient for all the land here. No greater piece of good fortune has ever befallen the place than this. It has restored confidence and seemed to inspire everyone with new energy. The decision means not only continued prosperity to the homes already established, but it means that the number of homes will be trebled or quadrupled and that our rich and fertile country will be made to yield sustenance to thousands where it now sustains only hundreds. It means that land which is now held at $40 or $50 per acre will be worth $100 to $200 per acre in the near future; in fact, it means a boom to every industry in this place. There is no place in Southern California where good land is as cheap as in Anaheim. The owners of the Stearns Ranchos, for instance, have large bodies of land, capable of growing as large crops of grapes, oranges or lemons as are produced anywhere in this part of the State, which they offer in tracts to suit at from $25 to $50 per acre. That is the present price, but it cannot be expected that these figures will always remain so low in the face of the fact that all the land in this vicinity is advancing in value. Now is the time to buy, and those who are looking for land on which to settle should come here and see what inducements we have to offer them. It should be borne in mind, too, that the owners of the Ranchos alluded to give very liberal and easy terms to purchasers, so that a twenty or forty acre tract is within the reach of men of very small means. Mr. R. J. Northam, the agent of the Ranchos, has removed his office to the apart- HORSE STEALING. One of the plagues of Southern California at this season of the year is the affliction of horse-thieves. Nothing is more certain than that these gentry will make their handful presence felt as soon as the hills, valleys and canyons are covered with verdure enough to sustain the stock while being driven across the line. It is very evident that there is a band of thieves plying their vocation at the present time. Their mode of operations, it is well known, is to steal what horses they can from different parts of the county and drive them to some secret and almost inaccessible canyon in the mountains in San Bernardino county, and there keep them until they have got together a band sufficiently large to take Sonora and there sell them. That such a band is now being got together there is ample evidence. On the night of the 19th two bay horses, both five years old, were stolen from the farm of Henry Rogers near town. They were traced to Burruel Point, and there the trail was lost. They were evidently driven into the mountains. A reward of $50 is offered for their return. A few nights ago a horse was stolen from Mr. B. H. Bancroft. A day or two later the horse returned home with a fine new saddle on his back, for which one has as yet put in a claim, nor are they likely to. Mr. C. A. Norman has also suffered the loss of a horse, and scarcely a day passes during which the town is not visited by one or more in search of stolen stock. Three of Mr. Zeyn's horses disappeared on Thursday, but from the circumstances connected with their departure it is thought they might have strayed away. These depredations have hastened the organization of the Anti-horsethief Society. Those desiring to become members will find the subscription list at the butcher shop of Mr. C. E. Leonard, and they are requested to bring with them, when they come to sign the roll, a description of their horses, which will be printed and forwarded to all other branches of the society. MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS. A convention of citizens was held at the Planters' Hotel on Tuesday evening to nominate candidates for town offices. The wholesale, but comprehensible, declinations which that these figures will always remain so low in the face of the fact that all the land in this vicinity is advancing in value. Now is the time to buy, and those who are looking for land on which to settle should come here, and see what inducements we have to offer them. It should be borne in mind, too, that the owners of the Ranchos alluded to give very liberal and easy terms to purchasers, so that a twenty or forty acre tract is within the reach of men of very small means. Mr. R. J. Northam, the agent of the Ranchos, has removed his office to the apartment adjoining the store of Goodman & Rimpa, where he will be found by those having business with him. He is ever ready to convey strangers over the ranch, and give them all information in regard to the county. Mr. Northam is an efficient and energetic agent, carefully avoiding exaggeration, and whatever information he gives to those seeking it can be relied upon as being correct. Sixty-one complaints against violators of the Sunday law have been filed in Justice Gannon's Court, and a similar number have been filed in Justice Bailey's Court. These are Los Angeles cases. The juries in that city having uniformly failed to agree, the complaints are being farmed out among the country Justices. No warrants have been issued on any of these complaints; they are held in abeyance until the District Attorney finds an opportunity to attend to them. It is said that the Board of Supervisors at its next meeting will probably indicate to the District Attorney their desire that all further attempts to enforce the Sunday law be postponed for the time being. Mr. W. E. Sibley, of Santiago, was in town on Thursday. He reports his section of the county as hopeful and flourishing. The waters of the Santiago Creek are being husbanded and utilized to the utmost possible extent, and the system of piping, begun last year, is being extended. Mr. Sibley and his neighbors who live on the west side of the creek have joined with the east-siders in putting down a 20-inch cement pipe from the submerged dam to the point of division, and from thence several miles of 12 and 14-inch pipe will distribute water to the various ranches. By such wise proceedings every drop of water is saved and made to do the utmost possible amount of good. Says the San Diego Union, referring to the rumor of a speedy extension of the S.P. road southward from Santa Ana: "At the present time, the probabilities of such connection are stronger than ever; for, be it remembered, the Southern Pacific is the successor of the Texas Pacific in the ownership of one-half of the ten thousand acre waterfront land grant made to Thomas A. Scott. That magnificent grant was equally divided between the California Southern and Texas Pacific. Possessing such an interest here, it would be strange, indeed, if the Southern Pacific did not utilize it." Municipal Nominations. A convention of citizens was held at the Planters' Hotel on Tuesday evening to nominate candidates for town offices. The wholesale, but comprehensible, declinations which followed the two previous conventions, made it necessary to hold a third one and endeavor to nominate a ticket that would "stick." Mr. D. W. C. Cowan was called to the chair and Mr. H. Cahen acted as Secretary. The following ticket was chosen: TRUSTEES. E. A. Saxton, John P. Zeyn, B. Dreyfus, T. J. F. Boege, R. J. Northam. CLERK. Richard Melrose. ASSESSOR. C. H. Zeyn. TREASURER. George B. Shaffer. MARSHAL. F. W. Tyler. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. Alexander Bailey. The election will be held at the Town Hall on Monday. The polls will be open from one hour after sunrise until sunset. The following proceedings were had in the Superior Court on Thursday in the case of Couch, the Monte murderer, against whom a verdict of guilty was rendered last week: People vs. Nicholas Couch—Defendant in Court with counsel and District Attorney; motion for new trial denied; ordered to be tried by a jury as to insanity. Venire for forty jurors issued, returnable May 1st. News has been received of the death at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 13th instant, of Elmer Blattenberger, the young man who stopped with Mr. Hanna for some months while trying the effect of this climate on his health. He returned to his home at Pittsburgh about a month ago and died shortly after his arrival. Mr. D. K. Williams desires us to announce that he is an independent candidate for Marshal, and that he hopes to receive the votes of all his friends. Post-Office Letter List.

The latter is keeping the house in such a way as to thoroughly please his guests. We commend the hotel to the favorable notice of the traveling public. —Robert Smith, a chronic offender, was brought before Judge Bailey on Thursday charged with disturbing the peace. It appears that on Wednesday night, while drunk, he gained access to a dwelling house on Center Street, and awoke the inmates by his boisterous and profane language. He was sent to jail for sixty days. —Memorial Day (May 30th) will be observed in Anaheim and Santa Ana this year. Sedgewick Post, G. A.
