Morris, the manager of the California department of the Chicago commission house of Amory Bigelow, was in town on Thursday. Mr. Morris was here last summer, and succeeded in working up a large trade in the southern counties. We have hereby taken occasion privately to recommend the house to shippers of fruit who seek a market for their produce in Chicago and the country supplied therefrom, and now publicly say that Mr. Bigelow is one of the most respected merchants in that city, and of unimpeachable business standing. Mr. Morris, as manager of the California department is the right man in the right place, and can give our producers many valuable hints on marketing. He will return to Anaheim next week. Postoffice Inspector Threlkeld made a close and thorough examination of the books and documents of the Anaheim postoffice on Thursday. At the close of his inspection he complimented Postmaster Gardiner by saying: "The affairs of your office are in better condition than in any other office in the county." Acting under instructions Postmaster Gardiner will, beginning on the 27th instant, keep the postoffice open on Sundays only between the hours of 12 and 1, and there will be no night-delivery of mail. A fair audience assembled at Kroger's Hall on last Saturday evening to witness the renowned and press commented Dan and Josie Morris Sullivan combination in the "Mirror of Ireland" play. The scenery was picturesque and interesting, and the laughable antics in "Barney's Disguises" were well rendered and received by the audience amid exultant cheering. The company left Anaheim with the hearty recommendation of the people as a first-class troupe.

He will return in a week or ten days and will give due announcement of readiness to show the result of his visit to the metropolis. Judge Cheney has granted a new trial in the suit of Perkins against E. J. Baldwin. The main reason for granting a new trial is found in what the Court deemed the excessive verdict awarded to Miss Perkins by the jury—$75,000. Sister Andrea, of Clarksville, Texas, has been in town during the week as the guest of Mrs. Theo Rumpan. She has decided to open a private school here, and will be assisted by two other Sisters of Charity who will shortly arrive. The new enterprise has our best wishes for its success.

It is a small swindle, this adulteration of vaccine points, but doctors for once all agree that it is practised. It is proposed to enlarge the capacity of Kroger's Hall by removing the ante-rooms on each side of the stage and building an addition on the rear of the hall. Theatrical companies appearing in this place have on several occasions complained of the smallness of the stage, as it was not sufficiently large to enable them to produce their cast to advantage, and as Mr. Kroger is ever alive to the necessities of the public, he proposes that there shall be no more complaint. Mr. Lucelke is erecting a small building, or rather a tower, in the rear of his business house. Upon inquiry it was said that the new arrangement would be used in hanging robbers and cut-throats. As there is a dearth of such characters here, it is supposed that the tower will be used for no other purpose than on which to erect the mammoth town clock. Sycamore street, of which complaint has often been made, was graced last week from J. Hartung's place to the street trouting on Leonard Parker's home. The ground is very sandy at this point, and strawing or graveling of the road will be necessary to prevent the disagreeable dust from arising when teams pass along. The small pox situation in Los Angeles on Thursday night was as follows, according to the report of the Health Officer: In hospital, ten cases, all but one convalescent; in private houses, thirteen cases, all under quarantine and none of them dangerously ill. One new case was reported on Thursday. Vines are sprouting in many of the vineyards in this vicinity, especially of foreign and early varieties of grapes. In some cases sprouts have blossomed, and the small bunches of grapes may already be seen on shoots not more than two or three inches long. Town Clerk Nebelung desires all persons who have claims against the Town of Anaheim to present the same on or before the 30th instant, so that he will be enabled to prepare the annual financial statement.

Sheldon Littlefield of San Francisco long a member of the well known commission firm of Littletield, Allhson & Co., has decided to retire from active business operations and enjoy life in Anaheim. He has purchased the elegant residence on Adele street, formerly owned by R. J. Northam. A very pleasant and surprising feature of the Colton Citrus Fair was a fine exhibition from R. J. Northam, of Anaheim. It consisted of a most beautiful and bountiful display of navel and seedling oranges and some fine lemons that were greatly admired. Some tenderfeet inquired of the representative of the Herald if oranges ever froze in Anaheim, and were promptly informed that such a calamity never occurred in that town. Whoever represented that oranges ever froze in the warm, dry soil of Anaheim is either a knave or a fool. Los Angeles Herald. Referring to our remarks regarding the frosting of the Riverside orange crop, the Press of that city says: And right there is where the Anaheim Gazette is mistaken. Riverside extends down upon some very low land in one portion of the settlement. On that low land we had this year some frozen fruit. Riverside, as a rule, sends its windfall oranges and other poor fruit to the San Francisco market, and the better fruit to the eastern market because there is money to the producer in doing so. Riverside oranges in perfect order are selling to-day in Chicago and other eastern cities at from $3 to $6 per box, and packers in Los Angeles county are to-day doing just what they did last year, buying Los Angeles county oranges at a low figure, branding them as Riverside fruit and trying to sell at a good figure in the East on Riverside's reputation. Town Clerk Nebelung desires all persons who have claims against the Town of Anaheim to present the same on or before the 30th instant, so that he will be enabled to prepare the annual financial statement. J. S. Weber, the new tinner, is about to receive a large assortment of stoves, pumps, etc., and in the meantime is prepared to do all kinds of work in his line. See advertisement. Mr. H. Boege has been confined to his room for more than a week with a swollen knee. He has frequent attacks of sickness, but it is to be hoped that he will speedily recover. The baker shop has been removed from the large hall on the east end to the small building adjoining, where it was formerly located. The Board of Town Trustees have decided to open and grade Broadway from Palm street to Walnut street, and have called for bids. An addition to the store occupied by Northam & Nebelung is being made by the owner, Charles Schindler. The new addition will be forty feet in length. Messrs. Lieb and Hart have dissolved partnership, and give notice to that effect in our advertising columns. Mr. Christ, the new tailor, has a rush of work, compelling him to labor by lamp-light.

Gazette—Our near and enterprising neighbor, Santa Ana, has within its limits one of the most adactiously imaginative young men in this State of youthful predilegies. Your happy reference to his abilities in his peculiar sphere seems but to have stimulated him to trash exertions, for we find in the associated press dispatches on Monday this choice specimen of his exuberance. Santa Ana, March 12—A syndicate of Eastern capitalists, accompanied by Colonel Dwight Winning, of Boston, one of the largest stockholders of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, are visiting Santa Ana with a view of purchasing the San Joaquin Rancho, which consists of 168,000 acres, for $1,250,000. Exceptional opportunities are afforded your correspondent to secure correct information on this subject, and it is expected that if purchased by the syndicate the subdivision of the land will immediately follow. This will be of great benefit to the Santa Ana valley, as a heavy immigration will be the result. Both the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific railroads are running their lines all over the valley, and work is progressing well. It is very evident to me that the sender of these dispatches is under contract to send something over the wires every day, and as facts are not obtainable he has to deal in—shall we call it fiction? A lie by any other name is just as bad. Of course, the object is to keep our neighbor before the public, and to impress the sucker, and the tenderfoot. I am just old-fashioned enough, however, to believe that honesty is the best policy even in booming towns, and I assert that for every line of truth contained in the dispatches sent by the young man there has been ten lines of willful and deliberate falsehood. The dispatch quoted above is much more truthful than any printed lately, and yet it is in fact and inference a lie. Mr. Whiting has no connection as a stockholder or otherwise with the A., T. & S., F. road. He was not in Santa Ana at the time the dispatch was sent nor for some time previous to that. His visit to that part of the country had nothing to do with the purchase of the San Joaquin ranch. As every fact in the telegram is a lie, it follows that the inferences are likewise. I remember, too, that this same young man has sold the San Joaquin ranch on several other occasions to several other syndicates. I may remark also that the Santa Ana County ANAHEIM The Most Interesting Place in Southern California. Its Origin, History and Achievements as the Pioneer Coiony. The Most Successful Wine-Growing Section in California. (Ben C. Truman, in New York Times) One of the most interesting places in Southern California, or in fast in the world, that I have visited is Anahiem, about 28 miles from the city of Los Angeles. Wine-making has been, is, and always will be, the leading industry of Anahiem. The light soil has been proved by nearly 30 years of experience to be well adapted for the successful growth of the vine. Although Mr. Wetmore, who is very good authority generally, believes that the Barger will not do well in Anahiem, it is well known that the Mission, Zinfandel, Black Malvoise, Mataro, Trousseau and Golgen Chasselas are as successful there as in any portion of the State. It was for the pursuit of this industry that Anahiem was first organized about 30 years ago, and I believe its establishment as a colony was one of the first subdivisions of large tracts of land and improvement by water systems in the State. It was projected in 1857 by a party of wealthy Germans of San Francisco, who conceived the happy idea of converting some portion of Los Angeles county into a collection of homes and vineyards for a certain number of industries and deserving of their race, and at once formed themselves into an acting body with the title of Big Los Angeles County Vineyard Association. After mature deliberation the Association resolved to employ some competent and proper person to select a site and make the necessary arrangements for the purchase of a thousand acres of land somewhere between the city of Los Angeles and the sea, with a view to water, soil and climate. The surveyor of the county was BUENA PARK. The New Railroad Town and Commercial Center. A new town—a new neighbor—has sprung up and night-blooming cereals like has blossomed out, as it were, in a night. This new patron for public favor is situated on the ranch belonging to James A. Whitaker, Esq., about six miles northwest of Anahiem and seven miles southeast of Falton Wells, on the line of the Riverside, Santa Ana and Los Angeles Railroad, and only three quarters of a mile from Abundant Station on the Southern Pacific railroad. We certainly can congratulate Mr. Whitaker upon his bringing his efforts to so successful a termination on Mr. Whitaker purchased this ranch consisting of 489 acres from the Alameda Stock and Farm Company two years ago with the intention of making it a stock-ranch; since which time he has developed its natural advantages to such an extent that the Pacific Land Improvement Company, composed mainly of officers of the Santa Fe R.R.Co., have taken a half interest in the entire tract and will locate a station on the land with the above beautiful fame. Mr. Whitaker informs us that the intention is to lay out a handsome park opposite the station, with a flowing artesian well to furnish water for fountains, etc. An avenue will be made through the ranch from north to south—one hundred feet in width—unlikely ornamented with pepper and other trees. This ranch lies in the very best portion of the artesian belt; good flowing wells can be obtained at the depth of one hundred and six feet, and every settler can have his own well. The ranch also has a fine stream (Coyote Creek) running through it. This stream has one peculiarity natural to California; viz: it is a snaken stream until within a third of a mile from the ranch when it rises and flows a large, pure, stream of never failing water, which is available for irrigating as well as of great value for stock and other purposes. It certainly has natural advantages in soil, water and location to make a prosperous town; added to which, the fact that the railroad company itself has a direct pecuniary interest will make success doubly sure. A great deal of credit should attach to the Anaheim's Orange Belt. Mr. M. M. Harding, foreman for K. T. Earl, who has for several years been known as one of the largest packers and shippers of oranges in Southern California, says the belt of country known as North Anaheim produces the largest and brightest oranges in Southern California, excelling in every quality even the tamed Riverside oranges. Usually these specimens are now being shipped from the orchards of R. J. Northam and Lionel Brownning. We are glad to have the assurance that next season the boxes in which the oranges grown here are packed will be branded "Anaheim" and not with the name of another place. The Riverside Press of last week kicks with a mighty kick at a somewhat similar practice, and Mr. Holl will undoubtedly be glad to know that the evil will be remedied next season. The Flirting Elements. It requires a vast amount of preparation in California for the clerk of the weather to get up a rainfall. There are no sudden storms; those we have are the result of a great deal of deliberation and coquettishness. For about a week past this preliminary preparation has been going on, and by virtue of all signs we ought to get a refreshing rainfall soon. But this elements seem to take pleasure in flirting with our hopes, and it is entirely within the range of probabilities that the next rain in Southern California will not make its appearance until bleak December. Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages for the following persons in Wells, Fargo & Co. Express Office: W. W. Muster, B. F. McDonald, Miss K. Bremermann, — Gray, — Hanson, D. W. C. Mountao, P. Dominguez. — A flowing well has been sunk on the Alamitos ranch above the new Alamitos extension of Long Beach. A great deposit idea of converting some portion of Los Angeles county into a collection of homes and vineyards for a certain number of industries and deserving of their race and at once formed themselves into an acting body with the title of the Los Angeles County Vineyard Association. After mature deliberation the Association resolved to employ some competent and proper person to select a site and make the necessary arrangements for the purchase of a thousand acres of land somewhere between the city of Los Angeles and the sea, with a view to water, soil and climate. The surveyor of the county was selected as Superintendent, and was at once instructed regarding the general order of the original plan of the prospectors, and empowered with authority and furgulated with funds to erect a vineyard or a collection of vineyards—the details of the erection of salt vineyards to be entirely according to his own taste, manmade as they should not fail to correspond, on the whole, with the plan proposed and agreed upon by the Association. The site selected was a part of the Rancho San Juan Cabo de Santa Ana. The Superintendent engaged himself at the work he had prepared to perform, and purchased 1,150 acres of land from Don Juan Pagano 90 acres, an individual into fifty lots of 20 acres, reserving a portion in the center for streets and public buildings. Before the end of the year like plot had assumed a tangible shape. The entire site was forced with willows, the boundaries of the 20-acre lots were made and fenced, ditches were constructed, and 400 acres of vines were planted before this expansion of the second year. Eight acres in each lot had been successfully planted with grapes, leaving the balance (12 acres) for agricultural purposes, posture, etc. Toward the close of 1859, the Superintendent had successfully carried out the plan of the Association at an expense of $79,000. The final action then took place on the part of the society, which was to settle some German person upon each of the vineyards on the payment of $14,400 just one-fifth of the aggregate cost of the whole, the selection of each vineyard to be made by drawing lots, each person to receive, in addition to his vineyard, a town lot, leaving 14 for public purposes. Two-thirds of the entire plat were at once taken up, and gradually the whole number was converted into many little German homes, constituting a happy and thriving community. From 1860 to 1864 the thrifty and industrious Germans had made great improvements in their respective vineyards, and the desert had blossomed as the rose. The original vines were in excellent bearing order, and from four to eight additional acres had been planted. Little substantial dwellings had sprung up in the willow ambush on every hand; here and there were exquisite patches of flowers, attesting the presence of woman—the entire picture evincing a high degree of success and prosperity. Quite a little town had strangled into existence on this stream has one peculiarity natural to California, viz: it is a swank stream until within a third of a mile from the ranch when it rises and flows, a large, pure, stream of never failing water, which is available for irrigating as well as of great value for stock and other purposes. It certainly has natural advantages in soil, water and location to make a prosperous town; added to which, the fact that the railroad company itself has a direct pecuniary interest will make success doubly sure. A great deal of credit should attach to the limited support that Mr. Whitaker has had in his neighbors, all of whom have taken a deep interest, and have subscribed to donate one hundred and eighty four days' labor of man and team to assist in grading streets, training lumber or any other work tending to the building up of the town. Mr. Whitaker has kindly shown us a letter from George H. Fallerton. President of the Pacific Land Improvement Company, in which he says among other things: "You may tell these interested that a station will be located on your land, and the exact point of location will be designated as soon as the Engineer has time to attend to the matter. I would suggest that you go ahead with your improvements at once, and I am happy to say that the railroad interest will also be the interest yourself and neighbors." This tract of land cannot fail to attract settlers. Portions of it is rich, sandy loam, so well adapted to grape; and the balance a dark vegetable loam, suitable for the growing of all kinds of berries and fruit trees of every variety. Altifafa grows without irrigation on the entire tract. We have none other than the best of wishes for the success of Buena Park. Prosperous Anaheim Los Angeles Express. The boom in country property, holdings in suburban townsand small farms is greater than ever before. George W. Frank, a dealer almost as well posted on this kind of property as could easily be found, asserts that country property in this county is in an advent of the biggest boom it ever enjoyed. A rise in values fully 25 per cent., in such holdings, Mr. Frink thinks, will be in order inside of three months. No better evidence that money can be made in outside lands could be offered than the history of the Anaheim real estate market. Since the first of last November, barely four mtns ago, property within near that town has increased in value 15 per cent., and the tendency, despite the fact that nearly all lands on the market at that time have been sold is constantly upward. Mr. Frink reports having personally looked into the matter of purchasers being either satisfied or dissatisfied at investments made there since that time, and asserts that property sold to them at the recent auction could not be bought now for less than double the sum they paid for it. That the Anaheim market will be one of the most prosperous this year is now; that a sufficient rainfall has been had, almost a dead certainty. Inference might be drawn from that last paragraph which would be wide from the Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages for the following persons in Wells, Fargo & Co. Express Office. W. W. Munter, B. F. McDonald, Miss K. Breermann, — Gray, — Hanson, D. W. C. Mountain, P. Dominguez. — A flowing well has been sunk on the Alamitos rancho above the new Alamites extension of Long Beach. A great deposit of pipe clay has been discovered on the coast, and large operations have been begun in the manufacture of glazed water pipe for carrying water over the new settlement and the surrounding country. About one mile per week of this glazed pipe, eight inches in diameter, is now being made. — Herald. — Messrs. F. J. J. Schmidt and Plez James went out on a hunt for wild geese on Wednesday. They report that the birds are very wild, and that one must be content with a shot at 500 or 600 yards' distance. Mr. James succeeded, however, in bringing down two birds in one shot at that distance. — The Lew Johnson Colored Combination gave a creditable performance at Kreger's Hall on Friday evening of last week. Quite a large audience filled the hall, and the mirth and jollity exhibited by the darkkeys in their performance sent everybody home in the best of humor. — Mine. Lecrop, who formerly conducted a dress-making parlor in Anaheim, has decided to embark in the same business here again, and will occupy the rooms adjoining the gunsmith shop on Center street. — Engene Johnson, who has lately been in the employ of Mr. Schorn, has installed himself as a clerk in Langenberger's store.

From 1860 to 1864 the thrifty and industrious Germans had made great improvements in their respective vineyards, and the desert had blossomed as the rose. The original vines were in excellent bearing order, and from four to eight additional acres had been planted. Little substantial dwellings hast sprung up in the willow ambush on every hand; here and there were exquisite patches of flowers, attesting the presence of woman—the entire picture evincing a high degree of success and prosperity. Quite a little town had struggled into existence on the centre of the plot, including a school house, a place for devotional exercise, stores and the never-to-bearish meeting place for the discussion of lager and music. I visited Anaheim some twenty years ago and found it just the place I have described. I again visited it last week and found it greatly improved by hundreds of additions of vineyards and orange groves, with delightful homes all around, with street railroads and many other metropolitan facilities, and I also found it a place of 3,000 inhabitants, with a large number of churches, schools, banks and other evidences of high civilization. I discovered, also, that the wine business had always been on the increase, and that large quantities of the Mission and Zinfandel charsets, ports, sherries and Angeheas are sold annually, and that the Anaheim wine makers have 1,900,000 gallons on hand, with the possibility that some lots may have been overlooked. There are a great many people in and about Anaheim, however, who are poor and who sell their wines to Los Angeles exporters for from 17 to 25 cents a gallon, and generally before they are six months old. Nevertheless, there are some producers who are holding their wines in order to send out some good ports, sherries and Angeheas at no distant day. The most extensive maker of fine wines in Anaheim is the well known house of B. Dreyfus & Co., which has agencies in New York and other Eastern cities, and whose wines and brandies are absolutely pure, but made in great part from the Mission grape, which seems to have no superior in producing port, sherry and some other sweet wines. has increased in value 15 per cent., and the tendency despite the fact that nearly all lands on the market at that time have been sold is constantly upward. Mr. Frank reports having personally looked into the matter of purchasera being either satisfied or dissatisfied at investments made there since that time, and asserts that property sold to them at the recent auction could not be bought now for less than double the sum they paid for it. That the Anaheim market will be one of the most prosperous this year is now that a sufficient rainfall has been had, almost a dead certainty. Inference might be drawn from that last paragraph which would be wide from the facts. It might be inferred, for instance, that there been a scant rainfall Anaheim especially would not have prospered. Now if there is any locality in Los Angeles county which would be less injuriously affected by a drouth than Anaheim we do not know where that favored spot lies. It is an enquired fact that it is entitled to, and has more water to the number of acres irrigated than any other irrigation district, and such being the case an over supply of rain is much more drained here than a scant rainfall. The Anaheim Evergreen Nursery. At the above nursery this season is to be found a larger, better and healthier lot of trees than ever before, which is saying a great deal. Among the trees on land are YEARLING ORANGE TREES, NORTHERN FRUIT TREES, ORNAMENTAL TREES, CYPRESS, BLUE GUM AND PEPPER, all of which will be sold in lots of from 1 to 10,000; at prices which duty competition. No scale; no disguise. This will be guaranteed. An inspection of the stock is invited. TIMOTHY CARROLL. Near Anaheim Railroad Depot. Mrs. Campbell of Los Angeles, a grand-daughter of Rev.
