HAPPENING OF THE WEEK Lionel Browning Committed to the Asylum. Asking the Supervisors to Establish a Poor Farm—Notes from Correspondents—Meaning of the Democratic Ratification—The Orange Market—Social News and Personal Mention Lionel Browning, a highly respected resident of this city, was on Monday pronounced to be insane by a board of medical examiners, sitting at Santa Ana, and he was committed to the Stockton Insane Asylum by Judge Towner. He was taken north on the evening tram by Deputy Sheriff Buckley and Constable Landell. In his rational moments Mr. Browning was a companionable and pleasant gentleman, being well educated and of extended travel and wide observation. His deferium has been of comparatively recent origin, and his friends had all along hoped that he might survive the malady. Some months ago he took a trip to Seattle and the Sound country, traveling by sailing vessel from Redondo, and visiting all the points of interest in the northern country. He also went on a visit to his old home in London, England, and on his return seemed to be in particularly robust health, both mentally and physically. Recently, however, his mind became seriously unbalanced, and there was no other alternative than to commit him to the asylum. How About a Poor Farm? The following petition to the Board of Supervisors is being extensively signed at Santa Ana: We, the undersigned, citizens and taxpayers of Orange county, believing that the indigent poor of our county can be better cared for, with more satisfaction to all concerned, and at less expense to the county, by the establishment of a poor farm, and that its establishment, regulation and maintenance can be so made as not to interfere or compete with the rights and interests of the business of individuals, most respectfully request and urge your honorable body to provide a farm in connection with a poor-house, and make regulations for working the same in the manner provided by law. their ticket at place of starting), at one-third fare, provided they have their certificates first approved by the assistant secretary of the convention. Persons who travel over the Southern Pacific Company's lines must procure blank certificates a few days before leaving their homes from H. G. Billings, Esq., 136 S. Broadway, Los Angeles. These will be promptly sent on application. Persons who travel over the Santa Fe Route can procure certificates from the agent where they buy their ticket at starting. The territory covered by this association embraces the counties of San Luis Obispo, Kern, Santa Barbara Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange and San Diego. The membership of the convention will consist of the pastors and superintendents, ex-officio, together with two delegates chosen by each school, and an additional delegate for every fifty members above one hundred. Each county is also entitled to ten delegates at large. It is earnestly hoped that every Sunday School will be fully represented at this very important gathering. Recognized Sunday School workers who may not be delegates, will be just as cordially welcomed and entertained. To assist in defraying the expenses of our convention, and its collateral work, the committee respectfully ask that each school, in the above named counties, kindly contribute a sum not less than two cents for each of their members, and at once mail the same to our corresponding secretary, Prof. H. E. Storrs, No. 105] South Broadway, Los Angeles. Please do this whether your school is to be represented at the convention or not, as the expenses are necessarily large. Vice-President, Santa Ana. U. S. LEMON, Secretary, Orange. Buena Park Items Mrs. A. D. Foster of Evanston, Ill., has gone to her home. She has spent over a month with Mrs. J. A. Whitaker. Mrs. Kate Noyes of Oak Park, Ill., has been visiting the Whitaker family. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Longborough last week Saturday, a happy event to the young couple. The Y.P.S.C.E. room is open every Friday evening for social purposes. A short programme is prepared and the evening is spent with games and conversation. The weather has somewhat interfered with the literary society, but they will convene next Monday evening, weather permitting. The Pacific Condensed Milk Factory are doing big things nowadays. A quantity of their goods has just been sent to China. The milk grows in favor with the people, and there is nothing to equal their evaporation. N. Hart has seen around his property otherwise improved. The Board of Finery met at the Day afternoon and there was no one on the City Trustees' court on Monday. Rafael Moreau Robinson while unseen week, was found given Pierce's court on Monday. Mr. Hatfield secured the service experienced photographer to take photos highest styles of the day.

His large wagon come into bearing; Cap's income from The following petition to the board of Supervisors is being extensively signed at Santa Ana: We, the undersigned, citizens and taxpayers of Orange county, believing that the indigent poor of our county can be better cared for, with more satisfaction to all concerned, and at less expense to the county, by the establishment of a poor farm, and that its establishment, regulation and maintenance can be so made as not to interfere or compete with the rights and interests of the business of individuals, most respectfully request and urge your honorable body to provide a farm in connection with a poor-house, and make regulations for working the same in the manner provided by law. During 1892 the county expended $4,800 for the care and support of the indigents, and during February of the present year the amount expended for them reached $600. These amounts should be scaled down. There are too many able-bodied indigents in the county, and their names should be stricken from the list. The Supervisors have been entirely too liberal with this indigent fund, and should take steps to carefully pare it down. But we don't want a poor farm, not by a jug full. G. A. R. Encampment. The Southern Pacific Company has made a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip from all points on their lines in California and Nevada to the Department Encampment of the G. A. R. at Los Angeles, March 20th to 24th. This rate will be open to one and all in Southern California. The encampment will be the largest gathering of war veterans ever held in the southern part of the State. The W. R. C., the ladies of the G. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans will all hold their annual meetings at the same time. Beginning Monday, the 20th inst., the following interesting programme will be carried out: Monday, 2 p.m.—Opening of the encampment. Evening—General reception at the Grand Opera-house. Tuesday—Business of the encampment. Evening—Entertainment by the W. R. C. at the Seventh Regiment Armory. Wednesday, 10 a.m.—Grand parade of the G. A. R., escorted by the National Guard, and review by the Department Commander. Evening—"Campfire" at the Seventh Regiment Armory. Thursday—Excursion to Soldiers' Home and Mammoth Wharf, Santa Monica. The Southern Pacific Company will make this the official opening of their new branch, and this will be the first train to the Home direct. The veterans will be prepared to feed one thousand of their comrades and guests. The mammoth wharf, now the longest ocean pier in the world, will be inspected before the return. A special round-trip rate of fifty cents from Los Angeles to Santa Monica will be in effect on this date, including both Soldiers' Home and Mammoth Wharf. Friday—Excursion to Riverside and San Bernardino. Westminster Items. We notice that the Westminster Farmers' Creamery is making a number of new improvements. To-morrow being the monthly pay-day the farmers are looking unusually pleasant. One patron brings from 1,200 to 1,300 pounds of milk daily. The Scott brothers have moved into their new dwelling on the old Mart Sells place. Oren B. Byram wears an eight-pound smile and brace. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Longborough last week Saturday, a happy event to the young couple. The Y.P.S.C.E.K room is open every Friday evening for social purposes. A short programme is prepared and the evening is spent with games and conversation. The weather has somewhat interfered with the literary society, but they will convene next Monday evening, weather permitting. The Pacific Condensed Milk Factory are doing big things nowadays. A quantity of their goods has just been sent to China. The milk grows in favor with the people, and there is nothing to equal their evaporated cream for family use. Mr. Murray is at the head of the establishment, and he makes things lively. There was a stag party at the Hotel Centralia last Wednesday. An enjoyable evening was spent at cards. The Choral society is making rapid improvement under the direction of Prof. Loughborough. We shall hope to hear them in concert before long. Mr. Clifford has taken possession of his cottage, and will commence improvements on the grounds immediately. Mr. Jones has returned from West Point, and is busy at his new possessions on Grand and Canadian avenues. He will build soon. Prof. Bruman was at Mrs. Spiedel's last Friday. George A. Whitaker spent Sunday in San Bernardino. The Orange Market. Etonor Gazette:—I have been corresponding with friends and firms, both in the East and on this coast, in regard to the orange market, and in nearly every reply received fair prices were quoted. But I wish to refer to one letter received from the State of Washington, which contains two points of interest to growers here. The writer is a prominent and reliable fruit dealer, who is well known here. I will quote his exact words: "I see by the circumsiders of some of the packing houses of Orange County that they are cutting prices." I have been getting as good oranges from your county this year as from any place and they sell for as good price as any. He also says: "I can get $35 per box for your Washington Navels." The freight by way of Newport, including drageage, is 52 to 54 cents per box, in small lots of from 25 to 50 boxes. If packers are determined to cut prices on our fruit, the sooner the growers organize and handle their own fruit the better. THEODORE STALEY. Placentia, March 12, 1893. The Unterrified Democracy. West Anaheim, March 14, 1893. Editor Gazette:—The fearless Democracy desire space in your columns to explain why they resumed the celebration of Inauguration Day on the 10th inst. It was to give our expressed appreciation of the second coming of a national redeemer! His name is Grover Cleveland! We take this method of thanking the broad-minded Democrats, also some conservative Republicans, for their contribution toward detraying the expenses of carrying out the programme. We would further state that we considered it our duty to give them value received, even if it was postponed a few days on account of bad weather, and, by this way, whenever our friends desire a nice shower of rain we are at your service.

We notice our popular music teacher, Miss Hattie McCoy, who has recently been quite ill, is able to be out again. J. J. Pyle has received an order from friends in Hancock Co., W. Va., for a barrel of sugar produced by the Anaheim cooperative beet sugar factory. Judge McCoy reports business in a flourishing condition. Dr. J. C. Clay reports times uncomfortably healthy at present, at least for the Doctor's purse. Many of our town folks are beginning to appreciate the benefits of having the greater part of the country roads worked, so as to drain all the surplus water into the center of town. Strange that the water coming from a country where they never heard of alkali, or won't even talk of any alkali in the soil, should contain such proof of strong deposits as we see running in the ditches north and east of town. RURAL SIMPLICITY. Westminster, Cal., March 14, 1893. State Sunday School Convention. The next convention of the Southern California State Sunday School Association will convene at Santa Ana, Monday evening, March 20, 1893, and close on the following Wednesday evening. We think we are justified in assuring you that this will be the largest and most interciting meeting of Sunday School workers ever held in California, and we are confident you cannot afford to miss being with us at that time. All will be welcomed and provided for. Those desiring entertainment please at once send name and address to Mr. J. C. Galloway, Santa Ana. Be sure to notify him before March 18th. Both railroads, the Southern Pacific Company and the Southern California Railway Company (the Santa Fe Route), will return all persons from Santa Ana (who paid full fare in going, and have a certificate to that effect from the agent whom they purchased The newspaper is essentially a commercial enterprise—the preparation and putting upon the market of something to sell. It is of the same nature as an ordinary merchant's. The rule in every well regulated shop is that the clerks shall not discuss religion, politics or any disputed topic with the customers. Where the editorial department of a newspaper enters into the enterprise the commodity offered for sale is opinions, and a constituency is therefore assumed to be in the market which is willing to pay for seeing the opinions in print. But the fact is that no paper limits its solicitation of trade to any special constituency. It solicits advertisements from all classes; it prints news for all classes, and in various other ways appeals to all classes. Editorialists which please only one class and displease many others are a drawback to the paper without being an advantage to the reader. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: Senorita Dona Leonideg Ballesteroz (2), Mrs. Blumenart, C. B. Cook, E. Crowe, Herren De Waal, Duy via & Co., John Hoberty, W.

But tance of things is not so has been in the past asked are below those... Kleinigkeiten. N. Hart has set out rows of gum trees around his property on Hermine street, and otherwise improved the same. The Board of Directors of the sugar refinery met at the Commercial Hotel yesterday afternoon and held an executive session. There was no quorum at the meeting of the City Trustees last Tuesday evening, and the board adjourned to meet again this evening. Rafael Moreno, who struck Officer Robinson while under arrest one night last week, was found guilty by a jury in Judge Pierce's court on Monday and fined $16. The question arises, Who was the party who ran his first through his hat late one evening last week? The question is shrouded in almost as much mystery as was the identity of the man who struck O'Hara. Mr. Hatfield advertises that he has secured the services of W. H. Elliott, an experienced photographer, and is now prepared to take photographs in the latest and highest styles of the art. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Monday G. W. Hollister appeared and protested against the opening of the public road between his place in the Newhope district and Mr. Damson's, running from the Anaheim road west. The annual inspection and master of Company G will be held at the Armory this evening. Major Drifil is expected to be down from Los Angeles to put the boys through their paces. A full attendance of the company is requested. Charlie Albrecht went over to San Pedro last week, where he is engaged in raising Mr. Conrad's building to the level of the street, a recent ordinance having changed the street grade, making it two feet higher. It will take about a week to complete the job. Alex Henry was out with his little cannon and drum corps and musicians again on Friday evening, celebrating the advent of the red-headed Democracy. It is hard to say just what office Alex is after, but they say he has the inside track for the appointment of Minister to San Juan Capistrano. Vie Schumacher's place on Orangethorpe avenue is near the model houses in that section. His large walnut orchard will soon come into bearing, which, together with the Cap's income from his poultry yards, will good years, and yet there are prominent dealers who insist that the crops cannot be moved rapidly unless the prices are lowered, and they represent to the trade that growers are holding for higher prices, when they know that such is not the case. The growers are simply holding for the present reasonable prices, which, so far as seedlings are concerned, are lower by 25 cents than the Florida growers are now getting for the same class of fruit. Mr. Garwood yesterday received advice from W. S. Montgomery, of the Executive Board of the State Association of irrigation districts, to the effect that the Legislature had passed the two irrigation bills which the association had all along been lighting. The districts will take concerted action for an appeal to the Governor to veto the bills. Mr. Montgomery is at present in Los Angeles, where Mr. Garwood yesterday went up to meet him. About the heaviest crop of oranges in this locality this season is that on C. H. Gesch's trees. Nearly every tree in the orchard is loaded with luscious fruit, and from one tree twenty-five boxes of large oranges were picked. The fruit was sold at an estimate of $1 per box, which would make the proceeds $25. Mr. Gesch gets $2,500 for his crop. He is taking remarkably good care of his orchard, and it will compare favorably with any in Southern California. Nearly all the vacant lots in town have been planted to barley, which is much preferable to seeing them grow up in weeds, and the green feed makes tempting patches for staking stock. But complaint is made that a number of people own livestock make a practice of turning them out at night to wander into a neighboring patch to help themselves to a feed. In the morning before daylight the owners catch them and take them home. This practice has become a great nuisance and has occasioned not a little loss to some of our citizens, and some of these days these parties will find their animals in pound, with a heavy bill of damages on their heads. We acknowledge the receipt from Mr. W. M. McFadden of Placentia of as superb a collection of oranges as it has been our privilege in a long time to see. The navels and Malta Bloods are especially interesting, and should sell at very remunerative rates, not to say fancy prices, in the markets. Mr. McFadden has one of the noted places at Placentia, and his oranges are second to none. He is engaged at present in shipping his crop to the Strong company, and the fruit is pronounced in San Francisco to be equal to the best in the market. PERSONAL MELANGE. Sheriff Lacy was in town on Monday morning on a short professional visit. Elmer Knowlton is building a neat cottage on his place on Broadway. Judge I. G. Marka was over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon on a short business trip. Miss Alice Chevalier is visiting friends and relatives in town, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hartung. Frank Wommer has been laid up for several days past with quite a serious attack of sickness. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Becher of Riverside visited is town on Monday with relatives and friends. Frank Judkins is now superintending the culinary department at Billy Hale's residence in Placentia. District Attorney Scarborough was in town on Monday, in attendance upon the Moreno trial. Theo Flotow informs us that he will shortly take his departure for St. Louis, where he will permanently reside. Marshal Steadman was doing the right thing last Sunday, all on account of his appearance in a bran new suit of clothes. Mrs. Matter, nee Sophie Kroeger, is down from San Bernardino on a visit to her parents, and will remain a week or so. Frank Rimpau was down from Los Angeles on Sunday on a short visit to relatives and friends in this city. Charley Federman returned yesterday from his trip to San Francisco, where he has been viewing the sights for several weeks. Mr. Williamson Dunn, of the Southern Pacific Railroad, was in town yesterday, looking about the movement of the orange crop. Mr. Blennorhassett was in from his Placentia orange grove on Monday on a short visit. He reports the oranges in prime shipping condition and being sent out at quite a lively rate. Mr. Capitain came down from Los Angeles yesterday and was at his office at the refinery site during the afternoon. He leaves on Saturday for Chicago, on business for the sugar factory. Mrs. Mary Susan Remick began an action Alex Henry was out with his little cannon and drum corps and musicians again on Friday evening, celebrating the advent of the red-headed Democracy. It is hard to say just what office Alex is after, but they say he has the inside track for the appointment of Minister to San Juan Capistrano. Vie Schumacher's place on Orangethorpe avenue is one of the model ranches in that section. His large walnut orchard will soon come into bearing, which, together with the Cap's income from his poultry yards, will roll up quite a respectable bank account for him every once in a while. Frank Porter has a gang of men at work grading the county road from Brooksburst to Ball's corner, whence he will grade the road to Cole's Hardscrabble ranch. Mr. Porter has lately graded up the roads north of town, and has done a very good job. Mr. Gillison announces that he is prepared to do budding and pruning at low rates. He is an expert at the business, soldmisses a bud, and guarantees satisfaction or no trade. Call on him at his ranch west of town or address him through the Postoffice. Mr. Reiser's salary as treasurer of the irrigation district was fixed temporarily at $10 per month, instead of $4, as stated in these columns last week. The mistake was made in the hasty transmission of the records of the irrigation board one day last week when it was raining particularly heavy. The Southern Pacific Company will sell round-trip tickets to Los Angeles March 20th to the 25th stn. for $1 05, good to return March 27th on account of the G. A. R. encampment. The company will also sell special round-trip tickets to Colton and return, March 15th to 22d at greatly reduced rates on account of the State Citrus Fair. Attention is directed to the advertisement of orange and lemon trees for sale, which will be found in another column this morning. These trees are for sale by R. M. Teague at San Dimas, or by his agent, Arthur Staley, at Fullerton. The trees are first-class and home-grown, and comprise all the leading varieties, are true to name and perfectly free from pest and scale. Mr. W. F. Bottsford has sold thirty acres of his orange tract at Placentia to Rev. Dr. Lefflingwell Knoxville, Illinois, the consideration being $30,000. This is one of the notable real estate transfers of the season, being at the rate of $1,000 per acre. Dr. Lefflingwell is the owner of 500 acres near Whittier. He will probably take up his residence at Placentia. Mr. Gilman will begin to ship his oranges as soon as the weather becomes settled and more favorable. The crop will be shipped through Thacker Broa' agency, f.o. b. here, and will command the ruling market price, less commission for selling. The crop will amount to about 12,000 boxes and is of excellent quality. The bonds of the school district have been paid off, and there will be no more special school assessments. There remains in the fund the sum of $600, and a petition is being circulated asking the Supervisors to have the balance transferred to the school We acknowledge the receipt from Mr. W. M. McFadden of Placentia of as superb a collection of oranges as it has been our privilege in a long time to see. The navels and Malta Bloods are especially interesting, and should sell at very remunerative rates, not to say fancy prices, in the markets. Mr. McFadden has one of the noted places at Placentia, and his oranges are second to none. He is engaged at present in shipping his crop to the Strong company, and the fruit is pronounced in San Francisco to be equal to the beat in the market. A dark rumor has been going rounds about a bold attempt that was made to trip up some belated citizen, by stretching a rope across the main pathway of a by-street, one evening last week, for the purpose of doing him great bodily harm. Our police reporter succeeded in forretrting out the mystery. It was only a common black thread placed across the path, put there by a bevy of frolicsome young girls, who were out on a lark, playing tick-tack on some of their friends. But incidentally some unsuspecting pedestrians came along, and on coming in contact with the thread gave an alarm which caused the giddy young girls to beat a hawk retreat. In their hurry to escape it is said they cleared a pocket fence full three feet high in the most approved fashion, resulting in their flight never to go out tick-tacking again. The property owners south of town, in the neighborhood of Miraflores, will shortly petition the School Trustees to extend the school limits and take them in and provide school room for their children, or they will petition the Supervisors to form themselves into a new school district and take in additional territory, extending to Garden Grove. Under the present conditions their children are unable to attend school here and they want the matter righted. It is very likely that the Trustees will act favorably in the matter and provide ample school room for the petitioners. It would be far better to grant them their request than to have them form a school district of their own, as it would deprive this district of a large tract of valuable territory. Captain Remick went out on a foot one evening last week, and succeeded in reaching the high lonesome degree, when he returned home and raised a racket, with the result that John Kuebler, who lives near by, caused his arrest on a charge of disturbing the peace. Remick was lodged in jail, where he languished during the night. On being taken into Judge Piececo's Police Court next morning he demanded a jury trial, but later repented, and thrusting himself upon the mercy of the Court, was socked in the sum of fifteen dollars of the circulating medium of the realm. Remick soon paid the fine, and went home again, announcing his purpose of selling out everything he had and levanting for parts unknown. He sold three horses and a wagon and a collection of pigs for something like $310, with which he immediately resumed painting operations. During the recent rains more snow fell in the mountains to the north and east of town than at any time during the recent past, and the snow line, covering the peaks of the higher ranges as with a mantle, came down lower on the foothills than the oldest inhabitant has seen it in many years. The spectacle of the snow covering the upper glistenin in the radiant sunlight. Mr. Blennerhassett was in from his Placeia orange grove on Monday on a short visit. He reports the oranges in prime shipping condition and being sent out at quite a lively rate. Mr. Capitain came down from Los Angeles yesterday and was at his office at the refinery site during the afternoon. He leaves on Saturday for Chicago, on business for the sugar factory. Mrs. Mary Susan Remick began an action for divorce against her husband, Moses Augustus Remick, one day last week, but the action was dismissed on Tuesday by consent of both parties. E. K. Collins, the enterprising agent of the Earl Fruit Company, is kept buoyy shipping out oranges and cabbage. This week the third carload of this season's orange crop will be sent forward, as well as two carloads of cabbage. Prof. Lymburner of Fullerton, the noted serio comic pupil, was in town one day last week to see the big steers. Since the passage of the bill abolishing prize fights the Professor has determined to settle down and become a staid and proper member of society. George L. Faulkner, representing Palmer and Rey's type founding firm of San Francisco, was in town yesterday, and dropped in to see us. He brings information that a new paper at Westminster is among possible ties. Mr. Waagner was in from Placeia a day or two ago, and tells us there is still need for a coyote bounty, as during the heavy rains last week the varmints came down from the foothills in broad daylight and carted away several sheep from the pasture near his house. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Binder were in town from their ranch in Soquel canyon last Friday, and report the precipitation of rain and hail unprecedented in that locality. The snow came down on the mountains lower than at any time during the past ten years. Miss Jensen of the city schools, who has been quite seriously ill for some time past tothe hospital in Los Angeles,where she is under care of Dr.Bicknell.Mrs.Horris taking her place at the school.

Mrs.J.Vinson,mother of Mrs.Caycewas down from Los Angeles one day last week.Mr. and Mrs.Vinsonand their charming daughter,Miss Marywhom many of our readerswill pleasurably remember,they having resided here some years ago;will shortly move to Anaheimto take their permanent residence. Marcus Reiuhaus,a highly respected citizenof Santa Ana,and well knownin thiscity,died at his residence on West Fourth Mr. Gilman will begin to ship his oranges as soon as the weather becomes settled and more favorable. The crop will be shipped through Thacker Bros.' agency, f.o. b. bore, and will command the ruling market price, less commission for selling. The crop will amount to about 12,000 boxes and is of excellent quality. The bonds of the school district have been paid off, and there will be no more special school assessments. There remains in the fund the sum of $600, and a petition being circulated asking the Supervisors to have the balance transferred to the school fund of this district and placed at the disposal of the School Trustees. Sam Hill tells a good one on Jonathan Watson. At the beginning of the season Jonathan predicted a dry year, and was prepared to back up his prediction with a little consideration to make it interesting. He was in town the other day, after the deluge, and among the first to meet him was Sam. "Well," said the latter, "how about the dry year you wanted to bet on?" "Oh, that's all right," replied Jonathan, "but I'll but we don't get forty inches of rain this year." It is rumored that proceedings in a spicy breech-of-promise case will be begun shortly by a young lady of Santa Ana against a well-known gentleman of Fullerton. The engagement of the couple was announced some weeks ago, but since then a change has come over the spirit of the young man's dream, and he has hired himself across the hills toward the East. Dame Rumor says a member of the Fullerton Four Hundred knows more about the falling out of the couple than he would like to tell. Charles Snyold, brother-in-law of our townsman N. Hart, who has been visiting in town for some weeks past, leaves to-day for his home in Sheboygan, Wis., a city of some importance, on Lake Michigan, sixty miles above Chicago. Mr. Synold has become so infatuated with our winter climate that he will sell out his interests in Sheboygan and remove to Anahiem, where he will permanently reside. He says he doesn't see how any one can live in the snowy East after experiencing this delightful California weather. He will be back soon, and will make a desirable acquisition to our city. The present crop of oranges is beyond all question the finest in appearance and quality ever grown in California. That it should bring a fairly good price, we have a right to expect. But the present appearance of things is not so encouraging as it has been in the past. The highest prices asked are below those demanded in other Remick soon paid the fine, and went home again, announcing his purpose of selling out everything he had and levanting for parts unknown. He sold three horses and a wagon and a collection of pigs for something like $310, with which he immediately resumed painting operations. During the recent rains more snow fell in the mountains to the north and east of town than at any time during the recent past, and the snow line, covering the peaks of the higher ranges as with a mantle, came down lower on the foothills than the oldest inhabitant has seen it in many years. The spectacle of the snow covering the upper range, glistening in the radiant sunlight, with the dark outlines of the lower range of hills abutting against it in dark perspective, was one of panoramic magnificence, and can scarcely be surpassed for grandeur. It serves an opportunity for newspaper writers to spread themselves on "purple patches," and likewise gives promise of an abundance of water in the river when it melts and comes tumbling down the mountain sides in cataracts no end. It also bids the orange grower look out for frosty weather and the possible ruination of his crop—see? The country west of town is settling up so rapidly that the matter of the roads has come to assume a good deal of importance. The old thoroughfares are in a wretched condition, and many of them, that have been traveled for years, are being fenced in and plowed up. Many of the farmers, we are told, have no roads to their newly acquired property, and have to get there across lots as best they can. But there seems to be a deliverance near at hand. As soon as the grounds get into fit condition, the roads will be graded on the seoition lines, and likewise a new road to the Lauding put in. The old Landing road has been almost obliterated, but the Supervisors are now preparing to grade a new road to the beach on the section lines. In this connection we might say that a culvert is needed on the road between Ball's and Kellogg's, the cross roads in the neighborhood having been closed up, and travel coming into town that way must cross a very bad, not to say dangerous, bog at that point. The Supervisors cannot move in the matter of improving these roads too speedily. They should be repaired at once and kept in good condition right along.

Mr. and Mrs. Vinson and their charming daughter, Miss Mary, whom many of our readers will pleasurably remember, they having resided here some years ago, will shortly move to Anahiem to take up their permanent residence. Marcus Reinhaus, a highly respected citizen of Santa Ana, and well known in this city, died at his residence on West Fourth street early Tuesday morning at the rip old age of 79 years. He was born in Germany, came to the United States in 1866 and moved to Santa Ana in 1887, where he has since resided. The funeral will be held in Los Angeles, where the remains will be taken by train this morning. Mr. Staley has 92 orange trees, less than an acre, the fruit on which is in every way the equal of the best in the market. He was recently offered $600 for the crop, which he refused. He is shipping the oranges himself, and has already sent out its fruit from thirteen trees. He informs us that if he does as well with the rest of his trees, and there is no reason to doubt it, he will clear $800 for the crop. Pretty good for less than an acre of ground. Captain Wredo was in town on Monday afternoon. He contemplates taking a trip to Chicago in the near future, and will probably go as far over as New York, whence he will hardly be able to resist taking a trip on the other side. The Captain sailed the waters blue for many a long year, and once he gets to New York, a trip on the other side will come as a natural sequence. When he goes, of course, it will be with the intention of returning to this section at no distant day; for it is doubtful if he would live anywhere else on the footstool than here in the garden spot of California. Gov. S. Merrill of Rialto and C. Cahill of San Francisco were in town on Friday in consultation with the Directors of the sugar refinery in reference to the turning over of the capital to be invested in the refinery buildings. The gentlemen held a further conference with Hon. Richard Giril at Chino on Sunday when the matter was further discussed. It is understood that the capital is ready to be turned over on the bonds of the refinery corporation, after which work on the buildings will immediately begin. We shall see dirt flying in the direction of the refinery site before many weeks have rolled around. NEW ADVERTISMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ...DEALER IN... Groceries, -:- Provisions!
