WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...DEC. 16, 1882 Kleinigkriten. See the notice of Messrs. Saxton & Cox. Mr. H. L. Paty bought 8 acres of land near the depot three weeks ago for $750, and he has already refused $1125 for it. The bark C. C. Funk is at San Pedro discharging 165,000 feet of pine for Messrs. Saxton & Cox. M. H. Cheeseman extends a general invitation to the public to-day through our advertising columns. Read it. Mr. Cahen's store is filled to repletion by all manner of holiday goods, arranged in the tasty and effective style of which he is master. See his new ad. R. J. Northam reports the sale of 40 acres of land to Charles Kloss, 20 acres to J. T. Stewart and 20 acres to R. Melrose. All the land is in North Anaheim. There is a great demand for grape cuttings, and they are shipped from Anaheim by the carload. A large quantity have been forwarded to Santa Barbara county. An incident of the late vintage was the marvelous yield of a four year old vineyard of Berger grapes. The average yield was seven toas to the acre. In the matter of the estate of S. A. Sheffield, deceased, the Superior Court has granted letters of administration to Mrs. Mary H. Sheffield and M. B. Sheffield, with bonds fixed at $3000. We acknowledge a call from Mr. George The Otire Branch. The stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company met on Wednesday, for consultation in regard to the suit now pending between the Anaheim Water Company and the Cajon Irrigation Company. Mr. Northam on behalf of the latter corporation stated on what terms they were willing to compromise. A resolution was then offered which provided that the suit be dismissed if the Cajon Company would agree to these propositions: First. That the gate which diverts the water from the river into the Cajon ditch be fixed or adjusted in the same manner as at the time Judge Rolfe granted his injunction. (At that time the amount of water flowing through the gate was variously estimated at from 150 to 179 inches.) Second. That if at any time the Anaheim Water Company shall deem it advisable to use the Cajon ditch, or any part of it, the said Cajon Company will only ask for payment of one-half the expense incurred in cleaning and operating the ditch during the season in which it is used by the Anaheim Company, and the latter Company shall not be required to pay anything towards the maintenance of that part of the ditch not used by them. Third. That any accounts which may be unsettled between the two companies be canceled from the date of the ratification of any agreement which may be made in consonance with these resolutions. Fourth. That in all subsequent legal proceedings to defend the right of the Anaheim Water Company to the waters of the Santa Ana river, the Cajon Company shall bear a just and reasonable share of the expense of such suits. A lengthy and heated debate was had over these resolutions, and on a ballot they were adopted—667 shares being voted for their adoption and 567 shares against their adoption. At a special meeting of the Board of Directors, held on Thursday morning, it was agreed that the trial of the case be postponed until an attempt is made to adjust matters between the two companies without the intervention of a suit. To that end, the Board appointed Messrs. H. Werder, H. Wehmey, Rain and Rain The following table shows Anaheim for the past three years: Year First rain 1870-71 Oct. 23 1871-72 Nov. 25 1872-73 Dec. 23 1873-74 Nov. 19 1874-75 Oct. 1875-76 Nov. 2 1876-77 Oct. 1877-78 Oct. 29 1878-79 Oct. 15 1879-80 Oct. 7 1880-81 Oct. 7 A glance at the above will explain why it is true is the life blood of Los Angeles emphasis to the fact that irrigating facilities to success than fertile quainted with this configuration are apt to convert for whereas ten inches in Pacific Coast are but average rainfall, in Lowland accounted a fair season butted throughout the will mature.

An incident of the late vintage was the marvelous yield of a four-year old vineyard of Berger grapes. The average yield was seven tos to the acre. In the matter of the estate of S. A. Sheffield, deceased, the Superior Court has granted letters of administration to Mrs. Mary H. Sheffield and M. B. Sheffield, with bonds fixed at $3000. We acknowledge a call from Mr. George Rice, publisher of the Semi-Tropic California and Rural California. He is gathering material for a special number of the first-named monthly. Mr. Ed. Dunham, of the Pico House, has contracted for the rental of Nadean's building, now in process of erection in Los Angeles. He will run it as a first-class hotel. The stockholders of the Farmers' ditch and of the "Badger" ditch have pooled their interests and will take the water from the river together, diverting it at some available point into their respective ditches. Christmas cards are getting more and more beautiful and aesthetic every year, and Mr. J. Helmsen has some exceedingly beautiful ones, and also a variety of very appropriate articles for holiday gifts. See advertisement. The Anaheim Social Club has been organized with thirty three members. The first meeting was held at Kroeger's Hall last evening, and the regular meetings will be held on alternate Fridays. Mr. Charles E. Stone is the instructor in dancing. The Bank Commissioners, accompanied by Mr. W. J. Brodrick of Los Angeles, visited Anaheim last Friday. The Bank of Anaheim was officially inspected, and it is needless to say that the Commissioners found its affairs flourishing, and its management judicious and careful. The fifth ward, as that part of Anaheim near the depot is facetiously called, is responsive to the general boom. The new cooper shop and enclosure of the lot on Center street, across which teamsters were wont to take a "short cut," has improved the appearance of that part of town immensely. The exports from Anaheim depot during the month of November, amounted to 303,720 pounds and the imports to 850,525 pounds. The excess of imports is due principally to the fact that all our stores have been receiving large consignments of goods. A fire on Friday night of last week destroyed a shed on the corner of Los Angeles just and reasonable share of the expense of such suits. A lengthy and heated debate was had over these resolutions, and on a ballot they were adopted—667 shares being voted for their adoption and 567 shares against their adoption. At a special meeting of the Board of Directors, held on Thursday morning, it was agreed that the trial of the case be postponed until an attempt is made to adjust matters between the two companies without the intervention of a suit. To that end, the Board appointed Messrs. H. Werler, H. Welmeyer, B. Dreyfus, F. A. Korn, F. Hartung, J. P. Zeyn, Erwin Barr a committee to meet with a committee from the Cajon Company this Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, to see if the details of a settlement can be decided upon. If the committee can not agree, then the suit can go to trial within a week, and nothing will have been gained by the interruption except to show that the Anaheim Water Company is not disposed to be litigious, and that it is willing to do what it can towards an amicable adjustment of the pending lawsuit. The Spanish Protestant church, now being built, was damaged to the extent of $15 by some foolish youths last week, who were on what is known to the fraternity as a "lark." From this incident, the Times of Los Angeles deduces that "there are evidently some very vicious inclined persons in Anaheim." This is a very superfluous remark. The same might be said of any large and growing place, but we doubt whether the Times would have mentioned it had the incident occurred in some other locality. As well heap reproaches upon Los Angeles because among its 15,000 inhabitants are murderers, seducers, incendiaries and perpetrators of all manner of heinous crimes. It may not be out of place for the Gazette to suggest that there is plenty of home missionary work for the truly good people of the Times. If this picture taken from the Porcupine, is true, then our esteemed contemporary had better try moral saasion on the vicious inclined of its own city, and vex not its soul concerning the heathens of Anaheim: Our municipal election is past. To the reflecting patriotic mind it was a day to be remembered with shame, sadness and sorrow. To the decent people of Los Angeles it was a rout, a disaster, a disgrace. To the Lazzaroni it was a glorious triumph. The honest people of Los Angeles voted for the man of their choice and went their way reposing. The Lazzaroni elected a municipal ruler for fifteen thousand reputable citizens. Of the twenty-three hundred and seventy-seven votes cast, two hundred, or about that number, purchased at from one to five dollars each was the balance of power and elected the mayor. Do we state the truth when we make this declaration? Votes were purchased as openly on election day as drinks and cigars, and even more so. Yet the election having passed hardly a word is said about it, until next election, when the same thing will be repeated. The Reason Why Orchard, at small expanse that one thorough inch of rain; with irrigating water with moisture to as great inches of rain had fallow tomary to irrigate through winter; and it requires that people so far practically independent on the part of our rainfall is due less toquences of a dry year; its effect on the country season of great rainfall prosperous; but in a seasonal drought, prosper most favorably situated. Five ditches are to oblige the river and deluging about.

The boy days previous to James McCoy test post-mortem examining wound with profes theory is that,judge cut,the Smith had putthe boy,holding himand had then struck Finlay,the constable corroborated Hull's The exports from Anaheim depot during the month of November, amounted to 303,720 pounds and the imports to 850,525 pounds. The excess of imports is due principally to the fact that all our stores have been receiving large consignments of goods. A fire on Friday night of last week destroyed a shed on the corner of Los Angeles and Anguste streets, in which was stored some hay owned by Dr. Hardin. The shed was owned by F. Peschke of Los Angeles. The fire is attributed to the malice or carelessness of two tramps who were "bunking" in the hay. The Fair given on Thursday evening by the ladies of the Episcopal church was very well attended, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. At intervals during the evening the audience were treated to songs by Prof. Packard, the Messrs. Browning, Holman and several ladies. The treasury of the church is now in a better condition than before the Fair. The ladies of the Presbyterian Society of Westminster will hold their next social and oyster supper on Tuesday evening, December 19th, to which the public are cordially invited. There will be for sale at the hall through the day and evening, a variety of choice articles for old and young, suitable for Christmas and holiday presents; also choice candies a specialty. Everybody come, see, examine and purchase for yourselves and friends. A correspondent notes the following peculiarities of the sulphur well at Carbon-dale, recently mentioned in the Gazette: "During spring tides the water is a milky blue, and during neap tides it is clear. And when the water is taken from the well clear it will turn a milky blue in about twenty-five minutes, and remain that color for twelve or fourteen hours. When clear, the water does not taste of sulphur." A very remarkable well, indeed. The honest people of Los Angeles voted for the man of their choice and went their way rejoicing. The Lazzaroni elected a municipal ruler for fifteen thousand reputable citizens. Of the twenty three hundred and seventy seven votes cast, two hundred, or about that number, purchased at from one to five dollars each was the balance of power and elected the mayor. Do we state the truth when we make this declaration? Votes were purchased as openly on election day as drinks and cigars, and even more so. Yet the election having passed hardly a word is said about it, until next election, when the same thing will be repeated. The Reason Why. ED. GAZETTE—You have in former years published statistics showing the amount of wine made in Anaheim by the different wine-makers. Will the statistics of this year's vintage be published? No; not a detailed statement as in former years. Complaint is made that the publication of the amount of wine made by individuals is giving an undesirable publicity to private business affairs. We will, however, endeavor to learn the total yield of the past vintage, and will give it due publicity. The following real estate transactions occurred during the week: Benjamin Dreyfus to Andrew B Caldwell and C Z Culver, bond for deed to N lot 16, block C, Chapman tract, Oct 31, 1884, 8 per cent per annum, $1,000.

The following table shows the rainfall in Anaheim for the past twelve years: | Year | First rain | Rainy days | Total fall | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | 1870-71 | Oct. 23 | 21 | 51 | | 1871-72 | Nov. 25 | 19 | 104 | | 1872-73 | Dec. 23 | 15 | 90 | | 1873-74 | Nov. 19 | 33 | 154 | | 1874-75 | Oct. | 18 | 133 | | 1875-76 | Nov. 2 | 32 | 144 | | 1876-77 | Oct. | 12 | 42 | | 1877-78 | Oct. 29 | 44 | 173 | | 1878-79 | Oct. 15 | 13 | 44 | | 1879-80 | Oct. 7 | 38 | 132 | | 1880-81 | Oct. 7 | 24 | 73 | A glance at the above record of rainfall will explain why it is that irrigating water is the life blood of Los Angeles county, and gives emphasis to the oft-repeated warning that irrigating facilities are more necessary to success than fertile soil. To those unacquainted with this country, however, the figures are apt to convey a false impression; for whereas ten inches of rain in the Atlantic States, or in the northern portion of the Pacific Coast are but a trifle in the total average rainfall, in Los Angeles county it is accounted a fair season's fall, and if distributed throughout the winter very fair crops will mature. There is no country in the world where less rain is needed to mature crops than in Southern California. In the Santa Ana river, which supplies water to Anaheim and the adjacent country, there is always a super-abundance of water in winter. During the months of December, January, February, March and April—and occasionally during May—water is diverted from the river by means of irrigating ditches and poured upon farm, vineyard and orchard, at small expense. It is estimated that one thorough irrigation is equal to eight inches of rain; i.e., by flooding once with irrigating water the soil is saturated with moisture to as great a depth as if eight inches of rain had fallen upon it. It is customary to irrigate three times or more during winter, and it requires no argument to prove that people so favorably situated are practically independent of rain. The anxiety on the part of our people in regard to rainfall is due less to a fear of the consequences of a dry year upon themselves as to its effect on the country in general. that drew; sent two tickets back to Canada; got blank returns; thought the Lord could do as much with two tickets as with twenty tickets; got another communication from the Lord that the returns would be sent to Westminster; applied to Mr. Hull, who keeps the post-office; I got none; the Lord showed me I should have it; it is for me; the Lord He knows where it is; it is presented to me that it is for me; it is satisfactory to me that the Lord tells me; I could not convince any one of it; didn't tell my wife of the package; told my father that God showed through me about it; God told me to quit fishing and put my senes and never put them in again; after we quit fishing I gathered up the timber on the island; thought of leaving the island; was waiting to be told when to leave the island; got up the usual time on the morning of the sacrifice, made a fire and had breakfast; my son brought no provisions home that day; he was home all day; it was revealed to me through the Lord that my son should be sacrificed that foremost or morning of that day; he told me which one. Willie; generally I had it that he wanted the best, and my son was more help than any one else; I told my wife the Lord wanted him; don't know if she objected; she said nothing; Willie went to a house thirty roils from the place of the sacrifice; as I was coming back, saw the boy talking with his mother; told him that the Lord wanted him; he said he was willing; I cut him right in here (pointing to the center of his breast with the utmost coolness), then I sacrificed him; the fire which was to consume him was withstayed; laid him out in a sheet in the house to keep him till the Lord communicated with me; had first communication two months ago. The case having progressed thus far was stopped by the Court, who ordered a special venue of jurors to meet yesterday (Friday) morning to test the question of Smith's sanity or insanity. COUNTY NEWS. Gleaned from our Exchanges. Herald. Elward and Antonio Blitch, of San Antonio district, have been arrested for defacing and destroying 185 fruit trees. The complainant is G. H. Bollinger. Over two thousand acres of the Laguna ranch have already been plowed. Express. Elmund Trudell was shot in the foot through carelessly handing an "unloaded" weapon. orchard, at small expense. It is estimated that one thorough irrigation is equal to eight inches of rain; by floosing once with irrigating water the soil is saturated with moisture to as great a depth as if eight inches of rain had fallen upon it. It is customary to irrigate three times or more during winter, and it requires no argument to prove that people so favorably situated are practically independent of rain. The anxiety on the part of our people in regard to rainfall is due less to a fear of the consequences of a dry year upon themselves as to its effect on the country in general. In a season of great rainfall every interest is prosperous, but in a season of total or partial drought, prosperity only visits those most favorably situated. Five ditches are too clay bringing water from the river and deluging the country round about. The Anaheim Water Company furnish water to Anaheim, and Garden Grove; the North Anaheim Canal Company to North Anaheim; the Orangesthorpe Ditch Company to Orangesthorpe District; the Fairview Ditch Company to Fairview District and the "Badger" ditch to West Anaheim. It was many years before the idea of winter irrigation impressed itself upon the people of this section; but now they fully realize its necessity and are taking full advantage of the facilities which nature has bestowed upon the country. During the months of June, July and August, when water is comparatively scarce, water is supplied only to the stockholders in the old-established companies who have acquired prior right thereto. But experience has proven that copious winter irrigation is all sufficient for vineyards and fruit trees in general—the citrus fruits excepted; and therefore during the season of scarcity there is comparatively little demand for water. The "Sacrifice" Case. The case of Josiah Smith, the child murderer, came up for trial in the Superior Court on Tuesday, Judge Hines of Ventura county presiding. The following jury was obtained: J. H. Brewer, J. H. Snyder, R. Deakers, R. Kiehlline, W. H. Noriholt, J. Q. A. Stanley, Isaac Kinley, Omri Bullis, C. Gerson, S. H. Patney, D. W. Fields and J. S. Dow. The first witness examined was T. C. Hull who said that on the morning of November 10th he, with others, went to Smith's house and asked him where his son was. Smith replied: "He has gone to his Father; I sacrificed him because the Lord ordered me to kill him." The boy had been killed seven days previous to this conversation. Dr. James McCoy testified to having made a post-mortem examination, and described the wound with professional exactness. His theory is that, judging from the nature of the cut, Smith had passed his left arm around the boy, holding him tight against his side, and had then struck the fatal blow. S. J. Finlay, the constable who arrested Smith, corroborated Hull's testimony, and J. W. Gleaned from our Exchanges. Herald. Edward and Antonio Blitch, of San Antonio district, have been arrested for defacing and destroying 185 fruit trees. The complainant is G. H. Bollinger. Over two thousand acres of the Laguna ranch have already been plowed. Express. Edmund Trudell was shot in the foot through carelessly handling an "unloaded" gun. Three of his toes had to be amputated. Just before the gun went off, Trudell had been playfully pointing it at some of his friends. A San Pedro correspondent says: Since the dredger has been at work on the bar a channel has been dug thirty feet in width and 600 feet long, with an average depth of sixteen feet at low water. The highest bank has been dug away. To dig this channel 10,000 yards of dirt have been removed. The effect has been that the dredger has a deal of trouble to hold with her anchors, the current being so rapid. Should Captain Hackett be able to finish his winter's work without having storms, next spring the passenger boats will be able to come alongside the wharf at low tide. Santa Ana Standard. An untoward event occurred last Monday, during the formation of the procession at Mrs. Dibble's funeral. A carriage backed suddenly against the horse of John Lowe, whose wife and children were in the carriage with him. A shaft was broken, which so frightened the horse that, in making a sudden turn, the carriage was upset, throwing the occupants out upon the ground. Mrs. Lowe received a slight cut in the face, but no other injury, that we can learn, was experienced by any of the rest, although it is miraculous that all were not seriously hurt. Commercial. The farmers of Green Meadows district held a meeting on Monday and resolved to sell no more hay at less than sixteen dollars per ton. More monopoly. Didn't Pop. "Dear John," said a lovely girl with blue hair and auburn eyes, who was dying to have her lover "pop" the momentous question: "What makes you wriggle about and appear so excited? speak, love!" John tried to speak, blushed, and seizing his hat, put out of the house and struck a "go as you please" gait for home. You couldn't blame him, reader—he was allied with Itching Piles and had never tried Swayne's Ointment, which cures every time. Your drug-gist keeps it; ask for it and take no other.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. It is interesting to note how some of the most illustrious historical characters died. Richard Cœur de Lion like the animal from which his heart was named fell by the arrow of an archer. George IV passed away a victim of gluttony and dissipation. Henry VIII died of carbuncles and sourvy, because in those days there was no Swayne's Ointment for skin diseases to cure the afflictions in the beginning. New Goods! New Goods! FOR THE HOLIDAY TRADE!
