The Flood Subsidies. The break in the river caused the disruption over some time of this affair and the family would continue to have drawn it. It was causing tension at the time and every one had a filament drumming. SWEARING-OFF DAY. Home of the Mabite at the Past Year to Me Cast Anode. Yesterday was New Year's, and in accordance with a time-bosserl custom a great many of our citizens turned over new leaves, and resolved to be better during the coming year than they were in the past twelve-month. We are able this morning to present the names of some of those who "swove off" and made new resolutions yesterday. The list was gathered at great expense to the publishers—who hope that the new leaves may be long unsullied. Here they are: F. D. Brown will swear off causing the country and parting his hair in the middle; he will not attempt to borrow books out of the school library, which is against the rule. John Everhart will sit right down and write us out that pass on the street car line which he has been promising, etc. Captain Ferguson will not reside, with so much feeling as has been his wont, that epileptic paragraph, "The Bloody, Elawsted Sparrow," etc. President James of the bank will not forget to take us along on his railroad to Prosperity. Captain Wreda will swear off finding new broken bones, and will make every one sign a prohibition ordinance when visiting San Marco. Dr. Bullard has sworn off going to Los Angeles when the barometer indicates rain. W. A. Witte will never take any old vintage rattlesnake bite antidote along—bad people might fancy themselves bitten, and steal the bottle. George Horr will not associate with bachelors who stay out late o' nights. Roadmaster Porter will not pay taxes in Yorba township. Uncle Billy Smith will not go to Guena Park township to vote and trade horses. Dr. Hunt will not believe that "A Century of Dishonor" is a novel. Colonel "Bob" Northam will not get the itch when he sees a Gazerk reporter. Herman Dickel will not say "Go you ten better." Professor Butler will not drink bullock's blood at the slaughter-house to improve his health; or make a bluff at betting on foot races with sports like Mat Everhardy. W. R. Harker will not offer $80,000 for the Sullivan-Jackson scrap. Julius Schneider will not attend cascadone parties coming year. Mitchell will not drink champagne that belongs to the winner of a footrace; he will stop bidding 16 on a 3 hand. He will not turn the barometer's point to indicate heavy rains just to dissuade boarders from trying to get away from the hotel. The Flood Subsidies. The break in the river that caused the disastrous overflow last week was repaired on Friday and Saturday, and the waters continued to their channel. Money was raised by subscription and a gang of men repaired to the river early on Friday morning. Hard word was done, and with some strengthening the levee will prevent overflows in future. On Saturday a trip over the flooded districts showed how violent the waters had been once they left the river. The country was cut up in a manner that made travelling extremely difficult. The road leading from Anaheim to the Olive bridge was transferred for over a mile into a ragged gulch, from three to six feet deep. In places the treacherous gorge was eight feet deep. The entire road was impassable for its entire distance. It could be seen how narrow had been the escape of Mr. Kirby and his family and Meara. Schorn and Gardiner, who had driven into the same mudhole in the road on different days last week. The hole is a miniature cave, eight feet deep, and is certainly a most dangerous place, which could be repaired immediately. How an escape should have been made from the pit, when it is known that it was filled with water, and completely hidden by the torrents that rushed over the entire country thereabout, seems miraculous. Great quantities of water flowed down the sandwash. For this reason, although the breaks in the river were repaired, the volume of water was not so large as on the preceding days. In the center of the stream there still flowed an angry current, with waves a foot high. The entire river bed was covered with water, and but for the bridge, which weathered the storm like a rock, no fording could have been made. On Sunday the waters had considerably subsided and things at the river resumed their normal aspect. The Olive bridge undoubtedly merits the name of being the strongest in the county. While railroad bridges were washed away on all sides, this structure seemed to bid defiance to the waves when the storm was at its highest. The roaring of the river and the flood to the southeast of town could be heard for several miles. Work has already begun upon the road between here and Olive. It will take some time and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money by the county to transform the road into its former condition. First Mail. Colonel John Everhart brought the first mail we have had for a week from Los Angeles last Saturday evening. He went up in a carriage the day before, taking George Hagar, J. L. Burton and Mr. Taylor with him. A start was made at 11 o'clock on Friday morning and the party reached Bayle Heights at 4:30, taking the cable road over into the city. The return trip with the mail on Saturday was made under greater difficulties than on the preceding day.

Frank Schaumburger will not be displaced as the Ward McAllister of our Four Hundred, nor will be fail to be the heart-breaker of the future as of the past. John Hartung will get after umbrella thieves with a shillelah or a gun. Collector Cadman will never mention "the flowers that bloom in the month of November," nor pay a premium on fishhorns.

He went up in a carriage the day before, taking George Hagar, J. L. Burton and Mr. Taylor with him. A start was made at 11 o'clock on Friday morning and the party reached Bayle Heights at 4:30, taking the cable road over into the city. The return trip with the mail on Saturday was made under greater difficulties than on the preceding day. Mr. French of Placentia was a passenger and aroundabout course was taken to get him to El Monte. The route thence to Puente had to be retraced several miles to get to a river crossing. The Colonel arrived in town at 6 o'clock in the evening, having traveled nine hours from Los Angeles, about the longest trip on record. As soon as it was known that mail had arrived an eager crowd assembled at the postoffice and greedily devoured everything in the shape of late reading matter that hands could be laid upon. Deputy Postmaster Hilmer drove to Los Angeles on Saturday and returned the next day with another wagon-load of mail. Narrow Escape from Browning. John Hartung had a narrow escape from drowning in the sandwash crossing on Thursday morning while endeavoring to render aid to a Mexican named Murillo, whose wagon had been overturned in the flood. Murillo had his wife and four children with him at the time, and was himself suffering with fever. When he attempted to get across the wash at the Crowther crossing his wagon was struck by the waters and turned over in an instant. At this moment Mr. Hartung happened along on horseback, and immediately went to the rescue of the family. In making his way to the wagon his horse stepped into deep water, and Mr. Hartung had to jump into the stream in order to save the animal. Both reached the bank in safety, when a rope was stretched from Murillo's wagon to the shore, and he and his family, who in the mean time had saved their lives by clinging to the overturned wagon, were finally placed upon terrie Armor. After the family had been taken out of the flood the horses and wagon were taken out, and soon the family were on their way again. It was a very close call, and had it been that Mr. Hartung happened to be Prof. Frantz will not say "next" while picking oranges. E. K. Collins, the orange buyer, will swear off killing pigs. Fact.

Thomas Gomber will swear off and be better at coming year. Billy Dunlap, having been strically sober for over three months, does not think it necessary to register an oath that he will never lie before it was ripe, and penniless poor on that moment.

We always knew Santa Ana was muddy place—during rainy winters—but these young men are certainly not like their abhim brethren if they stay home because of little mud, and let their little girls pine and pine away. There is not a single young man in Abheim who would waste through mud eyebrow deep to see girl. One Santa Ana girl had a fellow died in the mud, "through the act of unacupulous Providence," while enwiring to reach her residence new days ago.

The Florida Orange Crop. Tom Garnett. In your issue of December 12th, in your editorial column, coming on the sale of Mr. Gilman's grove, wish to take exception to your remarks calling Florida orange. You may "the crop which is now coming into the market is the poorest ever known, shorter than last year by several millimeters." The fast in the Florida orange season are unusually fine and the crop is large. Last month the crop fell short of million bonses by about two hundred city thousand.
