LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Graduating Exercises of the Grammar School. The Opera-House Crowded to See and Hear the Graduates—Other Items—News Notes from Fullerton—The City Makes a Find—Society Notes—Personal Mention. The graduating exercises of the pupils of the Anaheim Grammar School, which took place at the Opera-house last Saturday evening, were attended by one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the hall. Interested spectators were present from the entire countryside, and close attention was paid to the exercises from beginning to end. After music by the orchestra, the programme began with the song, "We'll Crown them with Roses," by the ninth year pupils, who sang with exquisite sweetness and tone. Willie Mitchell's oration, "Great men shape the course of Nations," was next on the programme, and was followed by Kita Rivas' essay, "Step by step we climb." Harry Davis' declamation, "Our Country's Flag," came next, and then the third and fourth year pupils sang "The Village Dance" very charmingly. Following came a recitation by Faith Roberts, entitled, "Kittens' Tea Party." The programme was continued as follows: Essay, "Life Preservers," by Anna Marion; oration, "Baseball," by Oscar Renner; violin solo, by Edwin Crowther; Fiddle song, by the first and second year pupils; oration, "Self-Reliance," by Guessie Strothoff; song, "Chinese Serenaeade," by the fifth, sixth and seventh year pupils; dust, by the primary pupils; essay, "Usses of an Education," Leona Solinger. Next came one of the features of the evening, the debate, "Resolved, That nowspapers do more good than harm." Guy Holman and Eva Littlefield argued in the affirmative, while David Smythe and Flora Davis argued from the negative. Close attention was given both sides, and at the conclusion Prof. Little announced that no decision would be rendered. Charlie Boego next delivered his oration, "Our country's growth and glory," and Annetta Tombes read her essay, entitled, "Don't Know." Then came the song, "Come O'er the Laughing Wave." and the freed spirit allowed to enjoy the endless years of unfolding powers. Thus, throughout the here and the hereafter, the thought of the more beyond is the star that lures us on to a life of nebler purpose and higher achievements. The hear has arrived when we, as a class, must sever our connection with the school where we have passed so pleasantly the years of our public school life. The old familiar school-room will no longer echo to our feet steps and our voices. As we look back upon these years of happy work, it is with mingled feelings that we realize that tonight we must bid adieu to the scenes that have formed so large a part of our life during these years; feelings of sadness at the thought of the breaking of ties that have grown dear to us; and of gladness that, having explored this little part of the field of knowledge, we have reached the gateway to the more beyond, toward which we have patiently been toiling. And now, ere we cease to be counted among the pupils of Anaheim schools, we wish to tender to you, the Board of Trustees, our sincere gratitude for your uniting interest in our behalf, and the many ways in which you have extended your assistance for the support of our school. We shall bear in grateful remembrance the part you have taken in the work which has enabled us to stand where we do to night. "The end has come; as come it must To all things; in these sweet dune days The teacher and the scholars trust Their parting feet to separate ways." We have no words to express our gratitude to you, our dear teachers. We know you have done much for us; how much we can scarcely realize. But in the years to come, when we shall have taken up the burden of life for ourselves, we know that the lessons of patience in earnest work, which by example and precept you have taught us, will come back to us with renewed effort, and make us stronger for the battle of life. May this thought, and our love for you be a small reward for the unsparing effort which you have made for our benefit. We are truly sorry to part with you, and go out into the world to take up our own life work, beyond the reach of your helpful hands; and we trust that in this hour all your troubles and anxieties in our behalf will be blotted out, and that there shall remain with you only pleasant memories of the Class of '92. To our school-mates, members of the Eighth Grade, we will next year fill our places, we wish you goodpeed, and sincerely hope that your last year will be as happy as ours has been, and that when you reach the position where we now stand tonight, there may be no regrets for missant time or duties unperformed. Dear class-mates:—We have been working side by side, year after year, and it is A large amusement is unaveided issue. We are sorry to health continues uninterrupted. Dr. Bullard is in with a new coat of paint. A slight shock here at half-past 5 o'clock. W. J. Hill has fit to the La Habra main for some time.

Thus they by Guessie Strothout, song, "Chinese Serenade," by the fifth, sixth and seventh year pupils; duet, by the primary pupils; essay, "Uses of an Education," Leona Solinger. Next came one of the features of the evening, the debate, "Resolved, That nowpaers do more good than harm." Guy Holman and Eva Littlefield argued in the affirmative, while David Smythe and Flora Davis argued from the negative. Close attention was given both sides, and at the conclusion Prot. Little announced that no decision would be rendered. Charlie Boege next delivered his oration, "Our country's growth and glory," and Annetta Tombes read her essay, entitled, "Don't Know." Then came the song, "Come O'er the Laughing Wave," by the fifth and sixth year pupils, followed by the valedictory, by Bessie Bates. The essays, "Purple and Gold," by Addie Spoerl, and "Life is what we make it," by Myrtle Staley, were not road, owing to the sickness of the scholars, which rendered it impossible for them to be present. At the close of the exercises Prof. Little presented the graduating class with their diplomas. The graduates were Bessie Bates, Flora Davis, Annette Tombes, Addie Spoerl, Lana Solinger, Anna Marion, Eva Littlefield, Myrtle Staley, Oscar Renner, Charles Boege, David Smythe, Guessie Strothoff and Willie Mitchell. Professor Little, in addressing the graduating class, said that they had met on this delightful occasion to award them the honors which were their due for having completed the course of study prescribed by the county. The Professor feelingly referred to the school work that had past, and imparted to the graduates some sound advice on the work in life that was yet before them. In awarding them their diplomas, he said: "These diplomas which I now award you are given under authority of the County Board of Education of Orange county, California. They are testimonials of your onward march up the rugged ascent of knowledge. As you stand here you may consider yourselves having reached the first terrace from which you may take retrospect of the past and count the cost of getting here, and also, a prospectus of the future, 'More Beyond.' I hope you are saying to yourselves: 'I will enter that field and explore the vast fields of knowledge which are before me.' If you should again turn your face to the front and march higher up the hill of science in some academy or college, may you show the same willingness to learn and industry in the pursuit of your studies that you have with me during the last year. If you strike out into the world to create for yourselves a fortune, let not the cold practical world discourage you at the outset, but show yourselves able to the task which an intellectual and well disciplined mind can give you. As you stand on this rostrum at this moment, I will, in my parting remarks, say that this is probably the last time that I shall ever speak to you in the capacity of teacher, and I pronounce you now numbered along with those who have gone before you—the alumni of the Amahoim Grammar School." "MORE BEYOND."—VALDICTORY BY BESSIE BATES. How truly it has been said that "Art is long, and time is fleeting." We realize that, however much we may know on any subject, there is always more beyond. Take a little child just summoning school. Advancing step by step, even after he has finished the highest course our universities offer, he finds he is but on the threshold of life, and that there is very, very much more beyond. He has caught but a glimpse of what he fain would know, and the more knowledge he acquires the more willing he is to strive after a To our school-mates, members of the Eighth Grade, who will next year fill our places, we wish you godspice, and sincerely hope that your last year will be as happy as ours has been, and that when you reach the position where we now stand tonight, there may be no regrets for missent time or duties unperformed. Dear class-mates:—We have been working side by side, year after year, and it is with a feeling of sadness we realize to-night that we must part. We are now on the boundary line between the Past and the Future, and surely each one of us must feel that there is much more beyond this short school life. Some of us are looking forward to a collegiate career, some to a musical career, and some of us hope to work side by side with our dear teachers in their noble profession. Still others are unselfibly planning to brighten the home circle by their presence; but whatever we undertake, may we always look back with pleasant recollections on our school days here. Let us remember and ever act upon the beautiful words of our favorite poet: "Look not mournfully into the past; it comes not back again; wisely improve the present; it is thine; go forth to meet the shawdowy future without fear and with a manly heart." FULLERTON ITEMS LATEST NEWS NOTES FROM OUR FLOURISHING NEIGHBORING CITY. FULLERTON, Cal., June 14, 1892. The brass band which has just been organized at this place held its regular meeting Monday evening. The instruments will arrive this week, and the boys will meet for their first practice Friday evening with fourteen pieces. Nearly all of the boys have been members of bands before, so we may soon expect to hear some pretty good music. The well-borers who are sinking a well on the land of Bastanchury west of town are down some five hundred feet and are now boring in solid rock. Some rock has been taken out of the well which shows traces of gold. Fullerton has nearly everything else, why not gold mines? Orange shipping from this station is about over for this season. The boys say they will be with us next year, when we expect to have that long-talked-of packing-house. Between thirty-five and forty carloads of oranges have been packed here this season, as against about one last year. If the business increases at the same ratio next year we will ship some oranges. H. Clark, of Orange, spent Sunday with his brother, Dr. Geo. C. Clark. Quite a number of our church people were in attendance at the Sunday School convention which was held at Newport last Saturday. Ben. Porter, Ed. Schulte and Ora Sprague are spending a month amongst the pine trees in Strawberry Valley. Ed. Amerige and R. W. Richardson are buying hay. Mrs. D. J. Kraemer, who has been spending some time in Los Angeles, has returned to Fullerton, much improved in health. Wm. Starbuck and wife spent Sunday in Whittier. Dr. Hunt's fierce into his head to run noon, and played some time. The buggy harms damaged him without injury. H. A. McWilliam lives in building up chased lots on Broadway erection of three thereon.

At a regular mess Lodge No. 199, I. O. of June 7th,the foe elected for the term H.A.MoWilliams,N.V.G.Wm.K.Hark Zayn,Treasurer;Trust Oliver Hill and Wm. The suit of Dr.Prime Water Company How truly it has been said that "Art is long, and time is fleeting." We realize that, however much we may know on any subject, there is always more beyond. Take a little child just commencing school. Advancing step by step, even after he has finished the highest course our universities offer, he finds he is but on the threshold of life, and that there is very, very much more beyond. He has caught but a glimpse of what his pain would know, and the more knowledge he acquires the more willing he is to strive after a higher development. Our early education is but a preparation for a life of usefulness, a surmounting of the foothills of the great mountain range of knowledge, and as we advance, "Alpa upon Alpa arise before us," each lefty peak more grand and inspiring than its neighbor. And as one's feat gain a firm standing upon each successive height, he looks eagerly up and on toward the next higher summit and presses toward it with new energy. Yet with the ambition to rise constantly higher, there comes also a sense of humility in the presence of such treasures of knowledge to be gained, such heights of wisdom to be won. In this sense truly "the wisest are the humblest," for they fully realize that however much they may know, there is still far more to learn. We have all heard that famous remark of Agassiz at the close of his grand life, "I have had no time in my life to make money." Life was all too short for him to acquire the knowledge he longed for, without devetting any of its energy to more money getting. His ambition was of a far nobler sort. Many people have given their lives to the study of some art or science, and even in their last days, they always say that they do not fully understand their subject—that they are but as children playing on the seashore, picking up here and there a pebble, while the great ocean with all its treasures stretches out before and beyond them. What would life be worth if it were not for this thought. If to-day is hard and dreary, happiness may be just beyond. So many go struggling through this life, eagerly pressing forward, and yet half dreading the future: knowing that it cannot be what they wish because of the lost opportunities; for our future lies largely in our own hands to make or mar. How many people look back with regret on the opportunities they let slip by in their younger days! They can only vainly wish that they had their youth back again that they might make a better use of it. What is thus true of our life as limited by the bounds of space and time, is true in a higher sense of the spirit life. To how many a weary, struggling soul comes like a breath of life, the sweet thought of a "beyond"—a life of rest and peace, where the fetters that have bound them here shall be unclasped. Party at Mrs. Strodthoffz. Mrs. Strodthoff gave an enjoyable party at her residence on Monday evening in honor of the graduation of her son Gussie. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and dancing, and during the evening refreshments were served. Those present were Mrs. Strodthoff, Mrs. Scott, Misses Adolee Strodthoff, Mabel Langenberger, Bessie James, Bessie Bates, Alice Bats, Beatie Smythe, Fiona Davis, Margaret Landell, Stella Scott, Stella Lowis, Blanche Mitchell, Fritzie Heimann, Jessie Malrose, Winifred Melrose; Henry Strodthoff, Hugh Strodthoff, Gussie Strodthoff, Gussie Langenberger, David Smythe, Adolph Luedke, Charles Boege, Adair Scott, Willie Mitchell, Harry Davis, Frank Laudell and Fred Lewis.

We are sorry to hear that Mr. Stein's health continues unimproved. Dr. Bullard is decorating his residence with a new coat of paint. A slight shock of earthquake was felt here at half-past 5 o'clock Tuesday morning. W. J. Hill has moved his threshing outfit to the La Habra ranch, where he will remain for some time. Ben Porter and a prospecting party left last Friday with a camping outfit for the San Jacinto Mountains, where they will spend a month or so in prospecting, hunting and fishing. This is the season of the year when political discussions are the proper thing among gentlemen when they meet upon the sidewalk. After the Chicago convention politics will be warm, yes. It is proposed to discontinue the operation of the Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin street-scar line, and a meeting of Directors has been called to consider the advisability of the move. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Browning had the misfortune to fall through a window last Thursday, sustaining a serious cut over the right eye. It is however recovering. Hart's new brick building above the Postoffice is rapidly assuming shape, and will be pushed speedily toward completion. It will be a distinct addition to the architecture of its part of the city. Ed. R. Amerige and R. W. Richardson will shortly open a produce and commission house at Fullerton. Both are energetic young men and ought to do well in their chosen line of business. Dr. Hunt's fiery untamed steed took it into his head to run away last Friday afternoon, and played smash on Center street for a time. The buggy was smashed and the harness damaged, but the horse escaped without injury. H. A. McWilliams and W. Frantz believe in building up the city, and have purchased lots on Broadway and will soon begin the erection of their commissary cottages thereon. Thus the work of improving the capacity of the creamery is twice its present output, and the business is being increased as rapidly as possible. A creamery at Newport is also doing a good business. The butter product of Orange county is a source of considerable revenue, and is growing in importance. It is safe to say that the butter product of the county amounts to 4,000 pounds per week. The annual sales of butter are estimated to be nearly $83,000 per year. The butter finds a ready market in Los Angeles and San Diego. The Southern Pacific Railroad, anxious to accommodate the traveling public on the Glerious Fourth, have decided to sell round-trip tickets at a single fare to all points within a radius of 150 miles on the 2d, 3d, Fourth and 5th. Tickets sold on the 2d, 3d and Fourth, good returning on the 5th. The Board of City Trustees held a special session on Monday to hear reports of progress on the city well, but adjourned without taking action. The well is down about 105 feet, in a bowlder formation, and Mr. Des Granges is figuring on putting in steam apparatus to gooseperp. Pending the arrival of further date upon the subject the board adjourned. A delegation of our citizens visited Chine last Thursday and were the guests of Richard Gird, who showed them through the best folds and refinery. Sugar making will begin in a couple of weeks, and the refinery will try to break the record for a single season's output, and will probably succeed in doing it. The visitors returned in the evening, well pleased with their trip. Another visit will probably be paid the refinery when operations begin. The clock tower on the New City Hall is about completed and makes a conspicuous ornament to that edifice. The building will soon be ready for occupancy. The clock will be a great public convenience, ringing out as it will the hours and quarter hours—as was its wont when in the tower above Luedke's jewelry store. Since it ceased telling us all the time of day, its absence has grown into nothing short of a public nuisance. But it will soon be with us again. A meeting of some importance to horticulturists will be held at Santa Ana on the 28th instant, which should be attended by as many of our orchardata as can be present. It will be for the purpose of discussing the best mode of fumigating and scale destruction. The Horticultural Commissioners of several counties in Southern California warn the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Leone. Low Hill is clerkking in the Commercial. Miss Minnie Spencer is assisting Miss Messemann in her millinery store. Miss Cora Scott will go to Los Angeles Sunday for a few weeks' visit with friends. Capt. Wrede was in town yesterday shaking hands with friends, and dropped in to see us. George Amerege and Postmaster Starbuck of Fullerton were in town yesterday, on his uncle's ranch in Westminster. Edwin Clark and family of Prospect Park, Los Angeles, visited with relatives and friends here last week. John Baneroft and Henry Hussman were down from Los Angeles on Sunday on a visit to relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. A. Guy Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Prebole of Tustin were in town yesterday on a short visit. J. S. Hatfield has gone up to the head of the ditch, where he will in future act as one of the Zanjeros at that point. I. N. Rafferty, Tustin's Horticultural Commissioner, was in town yesterday looking at our new fumigating apparatus. Miss Mario Magoffin, sister of Prof. Magoffin of this city, was married to R. J. Molohen at Lebanon, Ky., on May 31st last. Gee. W. Parsons of Los Angeles was in town on Friday on a abort business visit, and dropped in to see us. T. J.

Supervisor Yoch was over from Santa Ana last Thursday renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Yech has a heat of friends over here who are always glad to see him. Miss Helen M. Meade, Principal of the West Anaheim School, took her departure on Tuesday for her home in New Haven. Her many friends in Anaheim wish her bon voyage. Madame Modjeska and Count Bozanta warn the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Leone. will shortly open a produce and commission house at Fullerton. Both are energetic young men and ought to do well in their chosen line of business. Dr. Hunt's fiery untamed steed took it into his head to run away last Friday afternoon, and played smash on Center street for a time. The buggy was smashed and the harassment damaged, but the horse escaped without injury. H. A. McWilliams and W. Frantz believe in building up the city, and have purchased lots on Broadway and will soon begin the erection of their commissary cottages there. Thus the work of improving the city goes steadily on. The cottages will be among the finest in the city. Mr. Krueger is making quite extensive improvements on his recently acquired property on Broadway, preparatory to taking his departure for China, where he remains during the coming sugar-making season. Mr. Krueger's family remain in Anaheim, having determined to take up their permanent residence here. Mr. Tombes of Placentia has purchased a lot on West Eleventh street in Los Angeles and will shortly begin the erection of a comfortable cottage there. He contemplates removing with his family to Los Angeles in November, and will take up their permanent residence there. Mr. Van Valain has been looking at the fruit crop herabout, and is gratified at the extent and quality of the same. It is probable the fruit dryer will have a very good run this season, which our orchardists will hail with great joy. A petition will be found at Rimpau Bros.' store protesting against the $7,500 appropriation by the Supervisors of this county for an Orange county exhibit at the World's Fair. It is being numerously signed by the taxpayers of this neighborhood. Another sugar best meeting was held at Garden Grove last Saturday evening. Quite an interest was taken in the matter of subscribing stock. The people of the Grove are enterprising citizens and are doing all in their power to help the factory along. While cleaning a jobber in the Journal office on Monday morning Charley Goldthwaite had the end of the middle finger of his right hand mashed by having it caught in the gearing under the platen. Dr. Hunt dressed the wound, and the youth is getting along as well as could be expected. Several heavy showers of rain fell unexpectedly last Thursday forenoon, somewhat out of the common at this time of the year. In the afternoon a disagreeable west wind blew up from the sea, shaking some of the young fruit from the trees, but doing no other damage. The oldest inhabitant does not remember such freaks of weather as we have had this season. At a regular meeting held by Anaheim Lodge, No. 199, I. O. O. F., on the evening of June 7th, the following officers were elected for the term commencing July lst: H. A. McWilliams, N. G.; A. M. Williams, V. G.; W. M. Harker, Secretary; John P. Zeyn, Treasurer; Trustees—E. W. Champlin, Oliver Hill and Wm. McClinstock. The suit of Dr. Pfeninger vs. the Anaheim Water Company, for a petition for a workhouse reform is being considered by the town council. A meeting of some importance to horticulturists will be held at Santa Ana on the 28th instant, which should be attended by as many of our orchardists as can be present. It will be for the purpose of discussing the best mode of fumigating and scale destruction. The Horticultural Commissioners of several counties in Southern California will be present, and an invitation is extended to all personal having practical experience in fumigation and others having an interest in scale killing to attend. We are authorized to extend an invitation to all orchardists in Anaheim to be present at the meeting. The Board of Supervisors on Monday discussed the matter of the appropriation of $7,500 to be used in making an Orange county exhibit at the World's Fair. A position numerously signed by the taxpayers of the county was presented protesting against making the appropriation, and the board listed arguments in the matter pro and con. C. W. Wells of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce was present and argued in favor of the appropriation, and General Pierce of Garden Grove battled it. After hearing both sides the board decided to postpone further consideration of the matter until their meeting of June 20th. Commissioner Perry put in several hours on Monday morning looking for that alleged Canada thistle on Orangeborse avenue. He found no thistle, but in its stead discovered a very fine specimen of the Jerusalem artichoke blossoming in Mrs. Hunter's yard. The flea was of a levelly blue tint, and is highly prized by the lady. How it came to be confounded with a Canada thistle is difficult to imagine. The artichoke is held in high estates by epireuse, it being a very palatable and wholesome vegetable, and if more of our residents could be persuaded to follow Mrs. Hunter's example they would find it to their advantage in mere ways than one. W. M. McFadden and E. R. Amorige, representing the Anaheim Water Company, accompanied by Supervisor Armor and Superintendent Gardner of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, went on a tour of inspection up the river last Thursday to look into the diversion of water from the river on the Jarapa ranch. They found a ditch running 600 inches of water on the rachab, upon which an injection will be served, restraining the parties from the use of water. The gentlemen went far as Riverside and South Riverside, and returned on Friday. Active measures will be taken to stop the diversion of water, and the fight will be carried on by the water companies on both sides of the river. Mr. Littlefield is in receipt of a letter from a Chicago commission house giving reasons for the low price now ruling for Southern California potatoes in that market. The letter says there are now some savvy-five cars of Southern California potatoes on the tracks, and they are dragging and very difficult to close out. Not one ear in ten can be sold. The general quality of stock will so shortly open a produce and commission house at Fullerton. Both are energetic young men and ought to do well in their chosen line of business. Dr. Hunt's fiery untamed steed took it into his head to run away last Friday afternoon, and played smash on Center street for a time. The buggy was smaked and the harassment damaged, but the horse escaped without injury. H. A. McWilliams and W.

The petition was denied, and costs were taxed against the Doctor. Mr. Porter has some twenty-two fumigating tents at work, and it is probable more tents will be added to the outfit as soon as they can be procured. It is estimated that there are some three hundred thousand citrus trees in the district, and more tents are necessary in order to fumigate them all this season. The fumigators are at work every night, and are pushing the work with all speed. Prof. Magoffin gave a social hop at the Del Campo last Friday evening, when an enjoyable time was spent tripping the light fantastic until a late hour. Among those present were Miss Minnie Spencer, Miss Nattie Leonard, Miss Eva For, Miss Cora Scott, Miss Minnie Zayn, Miss Clara Messmann Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Albertson, Miss Josephine and Lucy Wagner, Miss Beckington; Messra, Magoffin, Doe Reid, Julius Schneider, S. Adams, McPherson, L. Dity, A. Sproul, Charley Wagner and others. Prof. Orvis Smith of Santa Ana, assisted by his pupils, gave a very pleasing musical entertainment at the Del Campo on Thursday evening. The programme was one of rare excellence and was well carried out. The dust by Miss Minnie Roper of Santa Ana and Pref. Lookhart of Orange was especially well rendered, and Miss Lura Jones sang a solo which was heartily applauded. The Professor's pupils show excellent training, and the prospects are that his class here will shortly be largely increased. Orange county is rapidly ferging to the lead as a dairying section. A creamery at Westminster utilizes the milk from 430 cows. The weekly output is 15,000 pounds of butter from 31,200 pounds of milk. Mr. Littlefield is in receipt of a letter from a Chicago commission house giving reasons for the low price now ruling for Southern California potatoes in that market. The latter says there are now some seventy-five cars of Southern California potatoes on the track, and they are dragging and very difficult to close out. Not one ear in ten can be sold. The general quality of stock from this section has been poor, not well matured, and arriving in the market pooling badly and considerably wilted. A great many cars that have been sold to arrive have been refused, and the majority of the cars new on the track will hardly bring more than freight and selling expenses. However, the market promises to be better as the potatoes become matured with the advance of the season. The quality of potatoes shipped from San Francisco has been good, and prices have been fair. Our potato shippers should see to it that none but first-class potatoes are sent to market. While driving in from Olive in a light cart last Sunday afternoon a Mexican youth aged about 12 years had a narrow escape from a very serious accident. Some mischievous Mexican boys on the sidewalk near the Opera-house frightened the horse, with the result that it became unmanageable and started to run away, throwing the youth from his seat. The boy's foot caught between the slats at the bottom of the cart, and he was dragged some distance, the vicious horse doing his best meanwhile to kick the cart to pieces. After being dragged some distance the boy's foot became untangled and he was thrown to the ground, the horse running away out Olive street. That the boy was not killed is a miracle, and the mischievous chaps who were the cause of it all should be made to suffer for their act. The youth came to town, informed his relatives and started in puruuit of the horse, which took the road to Orange. BIRTHS. COLE—At Hardscrabble, June 8, to the wife of W.J. Cole, a son.

The property had some time ago reverted to Mr. Bauer, who lives east of town, on a mortgage, and recently the board decided to buy it to provide additional room at the water works. Mr. Bauer offered the property at a very cheap rate, but had no certificate of title. When the board decided to look too matter up, they found to their surprise that the city already owned the strip of land. The board decided to employ a surveyor to set the line, and move the fence back to its proper position, and now Mr. Bauer will be sorry he ever offered to sell the strip to the city. As the property had never been rightly assessed, the certificate of its sale for taxes is null and void, and the enterprising party who "bought it in" (J.N. Smith of Santa Ana) will be坐 his ducata on the transaction. How the fence came to be improperly placed is a mystery, but the Trustees are entitled to the thanks of the taxpayers for seeing it that people have come by their own. BUENA Park. "Children's Day" was celebrated Sunday with appropriate exercises.
