EPITOME OF THE NEWS. Meeting of Solemn City Fathers Yesterday. Mrs. Willop's License Tangle—Herr Bonnerscheidt Sends in His Resignation—Other Items—Leonard Parker Married—Hill Hill's Steam Thresher—Hydraulic Well Horror—Mr. Des Granges on Board The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Chairman Reiser and Trustees Littlefield and Schindler. Absent, Trustee Witte, who was in Los Angeles, and Trustee Bennerscheidt, who sent in his resignation. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and special meetings, which were approved. In the matter of Mrs. Wallop's license. The Marshal was instructed to collect restaurant license, and if transient lodgers are taken, to collect hotel license. In the matter of Warrant No. 47, held by Herr Kraffke, Superintendent of the electric light system, which he has had in his inside pocket since June last. Ordered that Herr Kraffke walk up to the Captain's office, get his money and turn in the warrant. All of which to be done immediately if not sooner. A drain was ordered made across Los Angeles street from Federman's corner to the old Plantera' Hotel corner. Mr. Littlefield of the special committee on lithographing bonds reported that he had gone to Los Angeles to see the lithograph company in reference to some necessary changes to be made in them, and that the changes had been made in conformity with his suggestions. The bonds have arrived and are now at the bank. The City Clerk is engaged in wrestling with the signatures and dates on the coupons. In the matter of the weather forecasts. Ordered that an appropriation be made for the purchase of flags and haliards and that the signals be displayed on the flag pole at Mona. Cahen's store, that gentleman having agreed to attend to and post the signals. Mr. Reiser brought up the question of protecting the city from overflow from the Santa Ana river. Attorney Chynoweth was of the opinion that no appropriation could be legally made for that purpose. Mr. Schindler thought it was impossible to expend city funds outside of the corporate limits of the city. There was too much trust down on the Alamitos. This well borer sinks a well in a day, uses no pipe except about forty feet immediately below the surface, and is revolutionizing artesian well boring in this valley. If a success can be made with a well without pipe, as is claimed for this new method, a great saving will be effected in bering, and everybody will have an artesian well. Another great thing in favor of the pipeless well is that when a flow has been secured no pipe cutting is necessary to admit of water from the sides, but the well gets the benefit of the entire flow. This new borer is said to have been very successful in the Antelope valley. The well on the Hamlin place was started on Tuesday, and it was expected that a good flow would be reached by last evening. Perhaps the Town Trustees may make a dicker with this new institution to put down an artesian well at the water works. We believe the charge is $1 per foot for anything under 900 feet. PERSONAL MELANGE. Col. Northam went to San Francisco on Monday. Harry Jeessen of Santa Ana was over to us yesterday. Fred Eichler of Santa Monica was in town one day last week. Mrs. Curtis of Long Beach visited with friends in town yesterday. Miss Olga Zoia has accepted a position as bookkeeper in H. Cahen's store.

Mr. and Mrs. Messerve of Los Angeles are visiting in town, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Melrose. Mrs. Jonathan Kraemer, who has been quite ill for some time past, is we are informed recovering. John Hart was down from Los Angeles on a flying visit on Tuesday afternoon and dropped in to see us. Judge Whitaker of Buena Park was in town on Tuesday and reports everything flourishing out his way. Mr. Godfrey's family have departed for the East.

Seat Tom, a half-bucket we made the room, rigged off it. The engine horse power, aming a lively tide morning to rest at are getting short of run so mass of the season as on the San Joaquin has been at we age, the men and grain were two other late on Thursday quite severely water from there fix a break, and the reporter car for something nursing a back thresher, and two boys and the threshers paying tables there. O room tables and end of the wall date the men wear meals, whenever pay a visit to the cook has something is engaged in wrestling with the signatures and dates on the coupons. In the matter of the weather forecasts, Ordered that an appropriation be made for the purchase of flags and halliards and that the signals be displayed on the flag pole at Mons. Cahen's store, that gentleman having agreed to attend to and post the signals. Mr. Reiser brought up the question of protecting the city from overflow from the Santa Ana river. Attorney Chynoweth was of the opinion that no appropriation could be legally made for that purpose. Mr. Schindler thought it was impossible to expend city funds outside of the corporate limits of the city. There was too much kicking about that same thing a couple of years ago. He thought it was ridiculous to ask for it. The matter was laid over. The street sprinkling, contract for which expires on the last prox, was ordered continued after that date until the rains come, providing it does not rain before the first of the month. A dispatch was read from Graves, O'Melvany & Shankland to the effect that $10,000 of the city bonds had been sold, in addition to the $2,000 already sold, making $12,000 in all. All sold at par, with two per cent commission. The following bills were audited and ordered paid: Joseph Backs, coal oil, etc. 836 85 M. Goffinger, flooding Center street, etc. 9 50 Kuchel Bros., printing 16 30 F. Backs, tar, etc. 7 30 H. W. Chynoweth, legal advice 12 50 Total 832 45 A communication was received from Joseph Bennersheidt, tendering his resignation as a member of the board. The same was accepted. Board adjourned to next regular meeting. Hounsom and the Cornstalks. When old man Hounsom skipped out between two sons, one night a couple of weeks ago, he left nothing behind him but his house and lot and a fine large stack of cornstalks. His creditors were barred from levying on the house and lot, as Hounsom had traded them for property on Boylo Heights, in Los Angeles, and they did not care for the cornstalks, as they had no use for them in their business. But they were very much astonished, one day last week, to see one of Hounsom's sons drive up with a couple of horses, clear some of the cornstalks away, hitch his horses to something under the stack and drive off with a wagon that had been hidden there all the time. To say that they were uncommonly warm about it is to express it mildly. Had Hounsom happened around at that particular time he would have had an excellent opportunity of learning what his former neighbors thought of him. A man who would deliberately beat his creditors, as Hounsom did in this tricky manner, should be made an example of. Mr. Des Granges' Views. Mr. Editor—Irrigation concerns nobody but the landowners—towns, railroads, lumber yards, bakers, butchers, cobblers, tailors, etc., have nothing to do with it. The people in Anaheim and Fullerton have enough to pay for their domestic supply of water, and the farmers and planters have no business to ask the help of everybody else under the plauso of mutual benefit. You all know what that means. You may as well form a Quaker colony outright, with everything in common, especially bank accounts. And herein lies the iniquity of that tiresome legal clap-trap, the Wright bill, which is nothing but a dull repetition of the common rules on visiting in town, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Melrose. Mrs. Jonathan Kraemer, who has been quite ill for some time past, is we are informed recovering. John Hart was down from Los Angeles on a flying visit on Tuesday afternoon and dropped in to see us. Judge Whitaker of Buena Park was in town on Tuesday and reports everything flourishing out his way. Mr. Godfrey's family have departed for the East. He remains with us and accepts a situation in the Commercial Hotel. Attorney Hamilton of Santa Ana was in town yesterday taking depositions in the case of the water company vs. the bondmen of Dr. Gardiner. Miss Clara Mossoman's display of fall millinery is a sight worth going many miles to see. Hor stock is one of the finest ever brought to Southern California. Charley Luedko thinks of taking a run down into Mexico next month to look at some mines which he and Station Agent Darling of the S. P. are interested in. Charley Binder attended the bee-keepers' convention in Los Angeles last week. Charley keeps posted on everything that's going on, and makes the finest honey in the land. John Hofer and family, who took a trip to their former home in La Crosse, Wisconsin, returned to Los Angeles last week. They will probably locate in Anaheim again in near future. Sostenes Sopulveda and wife of Los Angeles were in town yesterday, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau. Mr. Sopulveda has lately had the misfortune to have his store entirely destroyed by fire. W. M. McFadden returned on Saturday from his trip to San Francisco. While in the city he was appointed Grand Treasurer of the Order of Chosen Friends, a compliment of which he is in every way deserving. C. Hamlin and brother, who have just arrived from Lafayette, Indiana, have purchased a tract of land southwest of town and will begin extensive improvements immediately. Mr. Hamlin was a prominent business man of Lafayette, and will make Anaheim his future home. By the way, has it been noticed that our section is rapidly settling up with a desirable class of newcomers? We are getting more new settlers at the present time than ever before. We tender the Messrs. Hamlin a welcome to our midst. F. F. Ward, E. H. Suddarth, Jake Cohn, P. A. Stanton, P. Hillinger, F. P. Barnas, S. O. Houghton Jr., F. A. Hardon, O. T.

H Smith, John Verkson, San Diego; H.E.Kutchmen and wife, San Luis Obispo; C.Hamlin and B.W.Hamlin,Lafayette,.Ind., were guests at the Commercial during the week. Month of Mrs Pendleton.. Mr. Des Granges' Views. Mr. Editor.—Irrigation concerns nobody but the landowners—towns, railroads, lumber yards, bakers, butchers, cobblers, tailors, etc., have nothing to do with it. The people in Anaheim and Fullerton have enough to pay for their domestic supply of water, and the farmers and planters have no business to ask the help of everybody else under the plea of mutual benefit. You all know what that means. You may as well form a Quaker colony outright, with everything in common, especially bank accounts. And herein lies the iniquity of that tiresome legal clap-trap, the Wright bill, which is nothing but a dull repetition of the common rules on petitions, elections, assessments, delinquent sales, bonds and debts. Its whole drift is coercive, to enable a district to mortgage itself into hopeless insolvency. And not a word about the main thing in irrigation—that is, the rate of water distribution to the irrigators, which with us could only be either by the acre or by the assessment. If by the acre, then the sandwash would get about one-third of the water and the heavily taxed non-irrigators would get nothing. And what could the sandwash do with it? And if by the assessment, then the towns and railroads and all the other non-irrigators would get the better half of the water. And what could they do with it? Can you possibly give us a satisfactory answer to this double dilemma? Respectfully, O. DES GRANGES. Parker—Wellman. Leonard Parker was married at Santa Barbara on Friday evening last to Mrs. E. A. Wellman, who lived on the Modjeska place east of town some years ago. The wedding was quite a romantic affair, according to the Santa Barbara correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, who writes: "A wedding occurred at the parlors of the Now Morris House in this city last evening under somewhat novel circumstances. The contracting parties are Leonard Parker, a wealthy orchardist of Anaheim, Orange county, and Mrs. E. A. Wellman, formerly of Santa Fe, N. M. The groom arrived here yesterday at noon from Los Angeles and the bride came later on the steamer Corona from San Francisco. One was a widower and the other a widow, and it is said their courtship had been conducted altogether by correspondence. Rev. Dr. Carrier performed the ceremony in the presence of several witnesses. Mr. and Mrs. Parker will soon go to Anaheim to reside." Mr. Parker has not yet returned with his bride. Hydraulic Well Borer. The hydraulic well borer was at work yesterday on the newly purchased Hamlin S. O. Houghton Jr., F. A. Harden, O. T. Woolcott, John Fiollett, H. Dibble, Maj. M. L Starin, J. S Kirk, C. D Frazer, G. Barham, P. M Hubbard, S. S Patterson, J. W Hart, G. W Van Alstine, Los Angeles; W. C McGinnis, H. A Perris, Pomona; H. E Craw, New Port, N.Y.; M. E Gray, F. G Gerhard, A. H Wilson, L. Pierson, J. H Beecher, San Francisco; J. Storm and wife, Fullerton; Bob Bennett, Ventura; J. H Smith, John Vorkson, San Diego; H. E Katchman and wife, San Luis Obispo; C Hamlin and B. W Hamlin, Lafayette, Ind., were guests at the Commercial during the week. Death of Mrs Pendleton.. The shocking intelligence comes of the death of Mrs. M. R. Pendleton et Fullerton, who passed away at her residence on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. She had been ailing for a short while, but nothing serious was thought of it. She had been married just two months and a day. The wedding occurred in the East. The sudden death has cast a gloom over the neighborhood. The remains were taken to Downey for interment. Mr. Pendleton is principal of the Fullerton school, which was closed yesterday in consequence of the sad event. He has the sympathy of the entire community in his sad bereavement. The Late Mrs Bennerscheldt. The funeral of the late Mrs Bennerscheldt occurred on Thursday afternoon last. Death had come with strange suddenness on Wednesday. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Decased was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Werder, old and respected residents of Anaheim. No one expected that the end was so near. Decased had lived here since childhood. She had been passed her school days here, and grew to be a comfort and a joy to her parents. To them her untimely taking off comes as a blow that can hardly be survived. At school she was apt and bright and diligent in her studies, and at home she was an earnest worker. Her qualities possessed a charm that endeared her to all. She was married November 17, 1872. Her husband and eight children survive her. To them in the hour of their great bereavement we tender our sincere condolence. HIRTH. SCHLANGE—In this city, October 21, to the wife of F. Schlange, a son. For Sale.

A THRESHING OUTFIT THAT THRESHES TWELVE HUNDRED SACKS OF GRAIN DAILY—A JOLLY CREW. We paid a visit last Friday to Bill Hill's steam thresher down on Tim Carroll's ranch below Belfast, the Hill boys' place on the Alamites. Seated behind Tim's gray trotter Tom, a half-brother to the racehorse Leon, we made the ranch in fast time. Any one can find a steam thresher in this country, but few could get there more speedily than Tim and the reporter did on Friday. It is an easy matter to find a steam thresher. The smoke of the engine can be seen curling lazily upward over the intervening country and you cannot lose the road. It takes fifteen or twenty men to run the thresher, and the outfit makes quite a little community by itself. Beside the engine and thresher there is the kitchen and dining room, rigged on a wagon, with a teat over it. The engine is a straw burner, of eighteen horse power, and sets the thresher to humming a lively tune from about half-past 4 in the morning to 6:15 in the evening, with an hour's rest at noon for dinner. The days are getting short now, and the thresher does not run so many hours as it did at the height of the season a couple of months ago. Down on the San Joaquin river, where the thresher has been at work up to about three weeks ago, the men put in eighteen hours a day, and grain was threshed at the rate of 1,200 sacks daily. Over 90,000 sacks of grain were threshed by the outfit, and there were two other outfits at work on the rancho. Late on Thursday afternoon Mr. Hill was quite severely burned on the arm by the hot water from the engine while endeavoring to fix a break, and he was not present when the reporter called. He had come to town for something for the thresher, and he was nursing a bad arm. So we made ourselves at home anyhow, inspected the thresher, and talked with the engineer, boys and the Celestial cook. While the men work long hours, they have a pretty good time of it after all, and are allowed to go to the kitchen whenever they feel like "taking a snack," and are given carte blanche on the larder. The kitchen is consequently quite a place of rendezvous, and during the day one may find a select coterie of threshers paying attention to the comestibles there. On both sides of the dining-room tables and benches reaching from one end of the wagon to the other, accommodate the men while at their meals. Between meals, whenever the men feel like it, they pay a visit to the kitchen and find that the cook has something good waiting for them in Kleinigkeiten. The nights have been foggy. Mr. Gosh is fumigating his orange trees. The weather yesterday afternoon looked very much like rain. Carpenter Larsen is laying the sidewalk about Mr. James' residence. Tim Baego is making wine. He gets most of his grapes from the Artosia country. Carl Schindler has just finished burning a kiln of 250,000 brick at his brickyard in West Anaheim. Quail are unusually plentiful in the hills to the north of towns, and hunters succeed in bagging large numbers of them. Several gentlemen who lost their "wad" on the races are home again. They may thank their stars they have their health left. Harnessmaker Harker has recovered that nobby red harness and will hereafter fight sight of sweet singers who try to put his eye out. Photographer Schlange is very happy after arrival of a son and heir at his residence. Mother and child doing well and the old man recovering. The report is going to rounds of newspapers that a Chicago gentleman proposes to start an elephant farm in Southern California. All right, let him come. Squire Witte is getting ready to collect taxes in the irrigation district. Our job office is turning out his batch of receipt books. Call again, Squire. Tensorialist Frantz is going into the stock business. He bought himself a Cleveland Eay celt the other day, and will train him between shaves for a buggy horse. Rev. J. Kogler of Orange will preach on Sunday afternoon at half-past 2 o'clock in the Presbyterian Church. German Lutherans are invited to attend and hear a reformation sermon. Marshal Gade says that city taxes are coming in great shape. City taxes become delinquent November 3d. You haven't much more time to wait. Pay up, or you will be delinquent. The contempt proceedings against Vicento Yorba, which were to have been heard by Judge Shaw in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, have been continued until next Monday, owing to the sickness of the Judge. Since the Santa Ana Blade soooned up the taxpayer so desires, in order to avoid extra trouble of paying again later, but not necessary in order to avoid the payment of a penalty for delinquency. The weather forecast signals will be played from the flagstaff of Caben's attic as the flags arrive from San Francisco. Samuel P. Putnam, the well-known orator, will deliver a lecture Reiser Hall on the 17th prox. Mr. Pruitt is an eloquent orator, and is always given with large audience when he comes to help. Particulars later. No one in this valley can claim that place is kept cleaner than Alexander Hall in West Anaheim. It is a pleasure see a place so cleanly kept, not only in orchard, but on the outside of the next to the road. It would be a splice thing if more horticulturists followed Henry's example. Max Nebelung divides his time nine days between buying walnuts and signing the coupons of recently issued city bills. He has affixed his autograph to a hand thousands of coupons already, and has rheumatism in his wrist over it. He probably strike for an increase of salary next meeting of the Trustees. The Rimpan Broz give notice in advertisement this morning that they received their fall and winter styles of clothing, which are going at very low rate Tailor-made suits and overcoats just New York are very low, and the eagle stock is marked away down. Call them and them and inspect stock and prices. On the first page will be found again from the Fruit Growers' Union to fruit growers, counseling them to join union. The organization aims to place in the market at the least possible every fruit grower should investigate preposition. Communicate with the secretaries and find out all about the union. Judge Landell's attention was occured yesterday in the taking of depositions in case of Annieheim Water Company via boardmen of Dr. Gardiner. Mr.Jasper Secretary Garwood, F.Bookman and T.Salley gave evidence. The testimony is being submitted on demurre to the Super Court whom the case shall again be called for trial. Coroner Ey went down into the Independent State of Capitrano yesterday dispose of the effects of late Chao Winson, who was found dead other day on roadside. Wilkinson owned three or four tons of honey; some stands of bees; a house, etc., all of which were to be taken while at Capitrano the Coroner was... A morning tea at the kitchen, the thresher kept humming away at a lively rate. Men with forks working on pulleys in a derrick gathered grain from the stack, fed the thresher right along, the grain poured out into the sacks, and at the other end an old Mexican with a couple of horses with gummy sacks over their heads "bucked straw" till you couldn't rest. "When I get as old as he is," said one of the men. "I don't want to be abusing straw—you bet not." The reporter thought his point well taken, and so came home. Afternoon Tea. Mrs. Heimann entertained her friends at an afternoon tea on Tuesday afternoon last. The time was passed most unjoyably. Among the guests were Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Kuchel, Mrs. Cahen, Mrs. F. Smith of Redondo, Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. Rust, Mrs. A. Wright, Mrs. J. Hartung, Mrs. V. Browning, Miss Hortmann and Miss Elizabeth Kuchel. Surprise Party. A surprise party was tendered Adair Scott, in honor of his seventeenth birthday Presbyterian Church. German Lutherans are invited to attend and hear a reformation sermon. Marshal Gade says that city taxes are coming in in great shape. City taxes become delinquent November 3d. You haven't much more time to wait. Pay up, or you will be delinquent. The contempt proceedings against Vicente Yorba, which were to have been heard by Judge Shaw in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, have been continued until next Monday, owing to the sickness of the Judge. Since the Santa Ana Blade scooped up the Press it refuses to print the Standard on its power press, and Br. Baker is forced to run his paper off on his old-fashioned Washington-miller killer. Such is newspaper life at "Santy Ann." Secretary Garwood has put up the stove in the irrigation office—winter is coming on. He has also cleaned the windows and swept the floor, and we presume will, one of these days, polish up the handle of the big front door. The Directors of the water company inspected the upper ditch on Thursday last, and decided to begin making necessary improvements and repair immediately. Stockholders in the company may work out their assessments in this work if they choose. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district at a special meeting held on Saturday levied an assessment of 50 cents on the $100 of assessed valuation in the district. Both railroads are assessed at $2,500 per mile, and the total assessed valuation of the district amounts to $1,267,329. We acknowledge the receipt from the State Board of Horticulture of Mr. Garcollo's pamphlet, "Fifteen years with the Lemon." The gentleman gives his experience with this valuable citrus fruit, and all lemon growers should procure a copy of it and acquaint themselves with its contents. Clark Minor is putting down an artesian well on his property west of town and exposes to strike a flow now at any time. The well is down about 460 feet and the water already rises to the surface. Minor will make extended improvements on the place this coming season. D. W. Fish advertises his place on Broadway for sale at a price so low he hates to see the figures in print. The price asked in half what the place cost. The location is desirable, and parties wishing to purchase a home will find it a bargain. List of uncleaved letters remaining in the Postoffice October 28: Mrs. J. Rowlbey, Otto Cromwell, Alice A. Dawkins, W. H. Frazer, August Lippe, M. M. Lonkey, Lucy Simpson, Donald Perker, Weight & McClonghlan. While a party of sportsmen were hunting quail in Soquel canyon near Sam Edwardson's place last Monday they had quite a time putting out a brush fire that started from a piece of burning wadding from one of the guns. The fire burned over quite a bit of territory, but was extinguished before doing much damage. B. F. Porter informs us that at the recent irrigation convention at Los Angeles he learned that some of the irrigators in the northern part of the State had so much water for irrigation that they were wondering how to get rid of it. Semo of the districts in the yesterday in the taking of depositions in case of the Anaheim Water Company was boardedamant of Dr. Gardiner. Mr. Jarrett Secretary Garwood, F. Bookman and T. Staley gave evidence. The testimony in be submitted on demurrier to the Super Court when the case shall again be called for trial. Coroner Ey went down into the pendent State of Capitrano yesterday dispose of the effects of the late Chas. Winson, who was found dead the other day; the roadside; Wilkinson owned three cars of honey; some stands of bees; a house, etc., all of which were to be seen at Capitrano the Coroner was guest of the sovereign suzerain, Alex Egan, who issued a proclamation allow the Coroner to enter his domain free of chafing. A petition has been circulated in during the week and numerously signed in the City Tenants to appropriate a client amount for work to be done at river to prevent an overflow during the war. It is believed that by removing structures in one channel below the north of the Olive bridge the waters may confined to the river, and thus prevent overflow. The patitions will be pressed against the Trustees at their next meeting. Matter should claim the earnest attention every resident of this city. Two traveling paisano put their rig up Lewis' stable one evening last week, and mediately proceeded to make themselves well at home. They fed their two starry out animals several times during the night washed their wagon and spattered water over the buggies standing near, slept on a stable and fed their horses again in the mansion. It is supposed they also designed take breakfast with Lewis. But they put a vigorous kick when Lewis charged them $150—a very moderate charge for what they had had. They soon thought it best pay, though, and then left rejoicing. Next they put up as a stable they should imagine they own the earth. Water was turned into the new tank for water works on Monday. The carpets ters up in the tank frame shattached away murmily as birds in the trees while helped Engineer Schneider make sure connection between the new tank and the old one. The reporter wouldn't go up—the air was warm when the connection was made, at about half past 2 water was turned into the new tank, and the pumps set going. The new tank held 60,000 gallons, and increased capacity of the tanks at the water works 125,000 gallons. Tim Carroll's artesian well on his plaque at West Anaheim ran an inch and a half open flow before the pipe was cut last week After cutting the pipe the flow increased three inches, and Tim has now one of best wells in the valley. He has built large reservoir into which the water was turned for irrigation. On his Alamanda ranch Tim has another good artesian well well a two and a half inch flow. Both places being improved, and next year will see greater part of them set out to trees. Pre Dickey, who bored the larger well, is puttng one down for Mona. Meulliot on his shale ranch in West Anaheim. No section of the county is suttling mere rapidly than the country rundaback West Anaheim. New houses are going up many places, and more real estate is being Afternoon Tea. Mrs. Heimann entertained her friends at an afternoon tea on Tuesday afternoon last. The time was passed most enjoyably. Among the guests were Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Kuchel, Mrs. Cahen, Mrs. F. Smith of Redondo, Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. Rust, Mrs. A. Wright, Mrs. J. Hartung, Mrs. V. Browning, Miss Mary Hortamann and Miss Elizabeth Kuchel. Surprise Party. A surprise party was tendered Adair Scott, in honor of his seventeenth birthday last Friday evening. A very enjoyable evening was spent in playing games. The party broke up at twelve o'clock, after doing justice to an elegant little lunch. Those present were Mrs. Scott, Mrs. V.

Joseph Bennerscheidt. H. WERDER. Strayed From holiness camp meeting, near Bolsa, one brown horse, 15 hands high; branded JP twice, same letter; stake-rope attached. Suitable reward will be paid for return of horse to camp meeting. While a party of sportsmen were hunting quail in Soquel canyon near Sam Edwardson's place last Monday they had quite a time putting out a brush fire that started from a piece of burning wadding from one of the guns. The fire burned over quite a bit of territory, but was extinguished before doing much damage. B. F. Porter informs us that at the recent irrigation convention at Los Angeles he learned that some of the irrigators in the northern part of the State had so much water for irrigation that they were wondering how to get rid of it. Some of the districts in the north are ten times the size of ours, and have "thousands of water" for every acre in the district. The second annual exhibition of the Southern California Horticultural Society opened in Los Angeles on Tuesday and will continue for the remainder of the week. The largest display of plants, etc., ever seen in California are on exhibition. Liberal prizes have been offered and the indications are that the show will be a success. We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary. The fourth-class postmasters imagine they have a grievance, and metmasters in "convention" in Los Angeles last week to organize with a view to laying their grievances before Congress.
