WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...APRIL 19, 1864 Kleinigkeiten. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. Parties wanting cultivators are referred to the advertisement of W. G. Potter who has just received a carload from the East. The Board of Equalization of Anaheim School District give notice by advertisement of the date of their meeting. The river bed north of town again contains a large volume of water, rendering the crossings impassable, except the one near the Browning place. The members of the Evangelical denomination have purchased a lot on E 5, and will soon begin the erection of a church building. A postoffice has been established at Lancaster and Verdugo in this county. William Bayles and S. T. Mayo being postmasters at the respective offices. A large stock of agricultural machinery is kept in stock by Jacob Yaeger, to whose advertisement the attention of farmers is especially directed. It is said that the Anaheim Brass Band has been engaged to furnish the music for a picnic to be given by the Santa Ana Fire Department on May Day. The meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company has been postponed until Saturday, May 3d, at 10 o'clock A.M. A peculiarly sad accident happened last week, resulting in the death of C. R. Hill, son of J. C. Hill of Centralia. He has been for some time past stopping at Tehachipa, Kern county, and on Thursday of last week he started for his Centralia home. Being anxious to reach home so as to pass Sunday with his folks, he paid no heed to the blinding rainstorm prevailing in the mountains, nor to the dangerous condition of the roads. About 10 o'clock on Thursday morning he passed the house of a Portuguese in San Francisco canyon, about 27 miles above Newhall, who warned him of the danger of proceeding during the storm then prevailing. About 1 o'clock a lad told the Portuguese that a team was stuck in the gulch at the foot of the mountain, and suspecting that some accident had befallen young Hill he hastened to the spot and found the team, and the body of Hill a short distance away, yet warm, but life totally extinct. It is supposed that he became suddenly ill with cramp or chill, and left the team and started back to the house he had passed shortly before to obtain relief, but died after going but a few rods. No marks of violence were found on the body. The body was brought to his parents' home in Centralia, and was buried in the Anaheim cemetery on Monday. The deceased was 24 years of age, was widely known here and was a great favorite. In their affliction his parents, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of a legion of friends. In communicating the above facts to the Gazette, A. L. Benton concludes: This is the first time that death has entered this happy home, and in their overwhelming grief the family have the prayers and heart-felt sympathy of all who know them. May the God whom Charley served so faithfully sustain and comfort the bereaved in their affliction with the assurance that they shall meet their loved one at the right hand of Him who saith, "I am the resurrection and the life." An extraordinary session of the legislature of the town of Anaheim was convened on Monday last to take action upon a case of emergency relative to the abatement of a notorious and long-standing public nuisance. Complaint was entered in Judge Bailey's Board. In this matter wells, on motion hereby ordered in reference thirteenth, be printed. The matter ofriel Orange Groveferred to the Director. A communication Home Association on file. In the matter Kerckhoff for a Supervisor W commencing at his running north deny petition; can Proposition of dition to the j Prager to procure of the property.

It is said that the Anaheim Brass Band has been engaged to furnish the music for a picnic to be given by the Santa Ana Fire Department on May Day. The meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company has been postponed until Saturday, May 3d, at 10 o'clock A.M. A profitable field for investment is the oil lands of Petrolia which are offered for sale in our advertising columns today. The vigorous work now being done at that point will surely result in the development of oil. Sidney Holman left at this office on Thursday a beautiful specimen from his orange grove, consisting of a cluster of bright oranges, nine in number, weighing eight pounds. There is on exhibition at the postoffice a specimen of sage. Judging from its luxuriant and perfect growth we are inclined to the belief that we can raise our own puddings at home as well as corn, wine and oil. Albert Friedenthal's concert on Monday evening was a success, artistically. He is probably the greatest pianist that has ever visited California, and as a composer he will doubtless yet acquire fame in the musical world. That worm which the Riverside Valley Echo is distressed about, and which it says has appeared in Mr. Oefinger's vineyard, is simply the common cut-worm, which was referred to in the Gazette. Don't get alarmed, neighbor. The report that L. J. Rose had sold his Sunny Slope vineyards to a Scotch syndicate for $750,000, is premature. Negotiations for the sale have been in progress for some time, but it is uncertain whether it will be consummated. Mr. Rose was in town on Tuesday. Citizens should remember that if they want to vote at the coming Presidential election it will be necessary to have their names placed upon the Great Register. This costs nothing but a few minutes' time. Theo. Rimpan is deputized to register voters in this precinct. A petition will be presented to the Supervisors at their next session for the establishment of a road from the north end of East street to where it will intersect the road running east and west past the Kroger and Pithian tracts in North Anaheim. This road, with a bridge across the river, will be of great significance to the community. A petition will be presented to the Supervisors at their next session for the establishment of a road from the north end of East street to where it will intersect the road running east and west past the Kroeger and Pithian tracts in North Anaheim. This road, with a bridge across the river, will be of great convenience to the people and profitable to the town. Clinton Schieffelin of Los Angeles, aged 61 years, and father of the well-known Schieffelin boys, was found lying dead in his room on Tuesday morning, with a bullet in his brain. The jury rendered a verdict that he came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by himself, but whether accidentally or with suicidal intent they were unable to determine. The deceased was a great sufferer from asthma. Michael Hammond, aged 38 years, employed by S. L. Chilson, fell dead on Sunday afternoon on the driveway leading to the Chilson house. Alcoholism is said to have been the cause of his death. He was an expert miner, and had been mining with Mr. Chilson's sons for nearly five years past. It is said that Hammond was one of four brothers who are heirs to $500,000 in coin which has been tied up in a legal snarl in the Bank of England for the past twenty years. The perfect loveliness of Easter day—bright sky, balmy air laden with the perfume of orange blossoms and the infinitude of vegetation which now is in the vigor of growth—reminded us by the contrast of the usual chill, drear, blue-nose spring-bonnet Easter of the East. Our churches presented a sight that Southern California only can afford. Evergreen and ivy with banks of the choicest flowers grown in open air graced chancel, alter and walls and filled the air with pleasing fragrance. The music was exceptionally fine, and our satisfaction with this favored land seemed complete. The continued dampness of the weather will most likely induce mildew upon those varieties of vines predisposed to attack from the fungi. Fortunately a specific is found in the application of sulphur. The vines ought to be dusted with sulphur some time during the next two weeks, and twice more during the season. When the sulphur is thoroughly and properly applied there is no reason to fear mildew. Messrs. Dreyfus & Co. have for sale the best kind of sulphur for such use. It is not likely that the fruit crop of Southern California will be of phenomenal abundance this year, except, possibly, the orange crop. It is said that the blossoms were washed off the trees before they were fructified, and the vines are said not to be bearing as many bunches as during years of less rainfall. No doubt the good effects of this phenomenal season will be more apparent in the next few years than during the present one. Talking about Dogberry Justices, an Alabama specimen recently gave evidence of his eminence over the Los Angeles article. He was tardy in paying over a claim of $50 which he had adjudicated, and being offended at the tone of a letter from the claimant asking for the money, promptly paid the amount by check, less $2.50, which he fined the claimant for contempt of Court, because of the letter. The steamer Geo. W. Elder has been substituted for the Queen of the Pacific on the Southern route. It leaves San Francisco tomorrow. Board of Supervisors. Tuesday, April 15, 1884. In the matter of waste water from artesian wells, on motion of Supervisor Moesser, it is hereby ordered that 250 copies of the statute in reference thereto, approved March 9, 1878, be printed and distributed. The matter of the petition of the San Gabriel Orange Growers' Association, was referred to the District Attorney. A communication from the Veteran's Home Association was received, and placed on file. Wednesday, April 16. In the matter of the application of W. Y. Kerckhoff for a wharf franchise, on motion of Supervisor Waldron to grant 400 feet, commencing at Perry, Mott & Co.'s wharf running north. Amended by Mr. Osborn to deny petition; carried. Proposition of G. Hazlitt to build an addition to the jail, referred to Supervisor Prager to procure permission from the owner of the property. In the matter of an additional petition to offer premiums for coyote scalp, on motion, was referred to the District Attorney, to report at the next meeting. The Supervisors met on Thursday and the question of which of the many plans for a courthouse should be adopted was discussed. The matter had been under consideration for several days, and it is rumored that the friends of the various competing architects were active in endeavoring to "influence" the Board in favor of the respective competitors. It was a plum worth fighting for; because, in addition to the $1500 to be paid for the plans, the successful architect would have the supervision of the construction of the building, a job estimated to be worth $15,000—and perquisites. The Board on Wednesday postponed consideration of the plans so as to give the members of the bar an opportunity to express their preference. The attorneys met and each voted for the plan that pleased him best—one plan receiving thirteen votes, another nine votes and one plan received no vote at all. But on the following day the Board accepted the plan which had received no endorsement at the bar meeting, and the result is that a great many unpleasant things are being said about their action. Personal. Hon. John W. Murray, late Probate Judge of Collin county, Texas, and family are in town. After a service of five years upon the bench, Judgal Murray resigned the office on account of ill health in his family and seeks happiness in our genial sunshine. He expresses himself better pleased with Anaheim than any other section of Southern California and intends to locate with us. We welcome him. Capt. C. T. Healey made a flying visit to Anaheim on Tuesday last. T. C. L. Kay left on Thursday for British Columbia, to enjoy the season's fishing in the well-stocked waters of that country. Dr. J. Pfeninger and family arrived on Thursday direct from South Bend, Indiana, and will make Anaheim their future home. They received a warm welcome. A. Gardiner has returned from the Railroad Company's coal mine and is giving attention to his flourishing young vineyard. The mine has been leased by Thomas Harris, the whilom Superintendent, and work will be resumed when the weather settles and the roads are put in travelable condition. J. W. Layman of Santa Ana paid Anaheim a visit on Friday. L. A. Kelly, of San Francisco, who lately purchased the Hanna place, is spending a few days in town. The following retail prices of Anaheim products are furnished by M. H. Cheeseman of the Anaheim Depot Store: FRIDAY, April 18, 1884. Butter, per 2 lb., rolls, 50 cts. Eggs, per dozen, 17 cts.

At a meeting of orange growers held at San Gabriel Friday, April 11th, the Executive Committee presented the following report: The Executive Committee would respectfully report that the work of examining citrus trees, for the purpose of locating and treating the Cotton Cushion scale, has been as thoroughly and rapidly pushed during the winter months, as circumstances would permit. Had it not been for the long continued rains the work of the expert employed would have been quite completed some time since. Forty-four (44) orchards, containing fifty nine thousand and ninety (59), 600 orange and lemon trees, have been carefully inspected, and search made for the white scene. It has been discovered to exist in thirteen (13) different plantations, on which hundred and forty-one (741) trees have actually received treatment and medication, with what appears to be satisfactory results. In the territory proposed to be covered by the San Gabriel Association there still remain some twenty six thousand (26,000) orange and lemon trees to examine and treat, if found necessary to do so. The assessment of one cent and a half per tree will nearly, if not quite, cover the expense, but it is very necessary, in order to meet this expense, for subscribers, who have not done so, to pay to the Treasurer the proper amount of assessment at once, in order that the work may be carried on to the desired end. The Committee have received reliable information that certain prominent nurserymen and tree dealers in Los Angeles city have in stock large numbers of trees infested with the dangerous pests which we are laboring to destroy. These trees are on the market to be sold; undoubtedly many have already been sold and taken to different localities, there to be planted and become a source of contagion and danger to every fruit grower in Southern California. The committee, considering this subject of the greatest importance, would urge the association to take it under immediate consideration. On motion, the following resolutions was adopted, and a copy of the same ordered sent to the Board of Supervisors and the Friday, April 18, 1884. Butter, per 2 lb. rolls, 50 cts. Eggs, per dozen, 17 cts. Cheese, per lb., 18@20 cts. Lard, "15 cts. Bacon," 14@15 cts. Hams," Cal., 17 cts. Dried Apples, per lb., 8@12½ cts. Dried Peaches "10@12½ cts. Beans, per lb., 4½ cts. Peanuts," 10 cts. Walnuts," 10 cts. Corn Meal, per cwt., $2.20. Potatoes, per cwt., $2.00. Mr. Saxton's gauge recorded three-sixteenths of an inch of rainfall on Saturday and one-fourth of an inch on Tuesday and Wednesday, making a total for the season of 25.16 inches. By Mr. Langenberger's gauge the rainfall for the two days mentioned was .34, and the total 24.23 inches. The railroad track between Anaheim and Los Angeles is in very fair condition, and there is no apparent reason why the train continues to run under special orders and not on regular time. The following real estate transactions are reported: Levi W Riley to OH Leefeeld—10 acres in SE½ sec 31, T 4 S, R 9 W,$5000. Joseph Mallon to Robert Hansen, SW of NE½ sec 21, T 4 S, R 10 W,$750.

The committee, considering this subject of the greatest importance, would urge the association to take it under immediate consideration. On motion, the following resolutions was adopted, and a copy of the same ordered sent to the Board of Supervisors and the Council of the city of Los Angeles: Whereas, It has been represented to the San Gabriel Orange Growers' Association that the nursery known as the old Fisher & Richardson nursery is selling trees throughout Southern California, and that said trees are infested with various scale bugs, particularly the Cottony Cushion scale (icergia purchasi), which is highly prejudicial to the horticulturists of Southern California; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That we request the Board of Supervisors and the Council of the city of Los Angeles each to do and to take all legal and proper measures to abate the nuisance of the sale of all stock infested with such contagious pests. J. R. DOBINS, Secretary. —The Boulon & Moore Comedy Troupe played at Kroeger's Hall on Tuesday and Thursday evenings to full houses. The company is exceptionally good. Among other features we note the violin playing by Paul Boulon as showing an unusual mastery of that instrument, and his readiness of several pieces were received with much enthusiasm. Geo. F. Moore is an old favorite and his lineations were fully up to his former reputation. The performance as a whole was of a pleasing character and of a higher order of talent than is usually vouchsafed to our town. —F. H.

He says, however, that he has just contracted with a gentleman from Georgia to plant it out in gophers this year and trust to luck hereafter.

While taking a morning walk I overheard the following conversation between two well-known ladies of Anaheim. One we shall call Mrs. R. and the other Mrs. S. The following is what was said: Mrs. R.-"How do you do, Mrs. Sr?" Mrs. S.-"Very well, thank you." Mrs. R.-"You look well, especially in that nice calico dress." Why, indeed, it just looks like lawn. Where did you get it? Mrs. S.-"Why, don't you know, Mr. Cahen just received a large assortment of Spring Calicoes, Ginghams, and oh, my, such a nice assortment of summer goods, some Embroidered Flannel, and my husband was there and bought a nice suit, awful cheap, a nobby Straw Hat and Low Cut Glove Kid Shoes, and he is going to buy a nice pair of Button Shoes for me." Mrs. R.-"Well, I must go there, too So, good morning!" Mrs. S.-"Good morning." They part, but one could hear they must have forget something as an echo whispered," Baby's got a tooth." H.C.

The only words she said afterward were: "A mother-in-law will drive any poor girl crazy." She was one of the most beautiful young ladies in the county and had only been married six months. White's have sold forty Garden City Plows. A Dakota lawyer was recently arrested for stealing wood, but such was the power of his eloquence he made the jury believe that he was only walking in his sleep, and thought he was placing flowers on the grave of his first wife.
