THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Work of Ghouls Discovered at the Cemetery. The Body of Virgil Smith, Buried in 1877, is Missing—On Monday the Father Sought to Take it up for Interment at Downey, but Could Find no Trace of the Coffin—Interesting Meeting of the Farmers' Club—The City Buys the Bauer Lot for $200—Mr. Fay in a Railroad Accident in Colorado, But Fortunately Unhurt—Local Brevities. Monday afternoon C. E. Smith of Downey arrived in town, in response to a telephone message from his brother, W. J. Smith of Orangthorpe, informing him that the body of his son, Virgil Smith, who was buried in the cemetery here Aug. 18, 1877, and which it was sought to exhume for interment in the Downey cemetery, was not in its grave, the casket and the wooden box containing it having in some mysterious manner disappeared. Mr. Smith had arranged with his brother to have the body disinterred, and taken to Downey to be buried alongside of the body of Mrs. Smith, who breathed her last in that place two months ago. It was in accordance with the wishes of the mother that this sacred office was sought to be performed, and M. S. Julian of Long Beach was delegated to come over and convey the remains to Downey. On Monday morning W. J. Smith, Mr. Julian and Mr. Eastman, who has charge of the cemetery work, repaired to the graveyard and after excavating at the place of burial in the Smith lot, which is encircled by a cement coping, the distressing discovery was made that the coffin had been removed, and not a trace of the body could be found. Mr. Smith immediately telephoned his brother, who at once repaired hither, and another visit was paid the cemetery, but to no purpose. The coffin was not in the place marked by the headstone, and the body had strangely disappeared. Mr. Smith was sorely distressed at the sorrowful discovery, and is of the opinion that the body of his deceased son was the victim of ghouls who wan'tonly desecrated the grave. Virgil Smith was 13 years of age at the time of his demise, and met his death by being thrown from his horse two days previously, sustaining injuries which resulted fatally. Drs. James Ellis and J. S. Gardiner were the attending physicians at the time, and many of the old residents recall the accident THE FARMERS' CLUB. Interesting Meeting Held on Monday Afternoon at Mr. Fay's Residence—Twenty Members Sign the Roll. The first regular meeting of the Farmers' Club was held at the residence of W. J. Fay on Monday afternoon—the meeting at Mr. Cargill's Brookshurst grove in April having been preliminary to the regular organization, and a right interesting meeting it was, too. At the meeting on Monday the rolls were opened for membership, and twenty names of ladies and gentlemen were enrolled. The election of officers resulted in the selection of A. H. Cargill, President; George A. Hunter, First Vice President; M. L. Rogers, Second Vice President; Mrs. Langenberger, Treasurer, and Henry Kuchel, Secretary. The minutes of the last meeting were presented by the Secretary, after which a selection of music was enjoyed by the club, rendered by William Schwenckert (flute) and the Schwenker brothers (mandolin and piano). Following the music, which was heartily applauded by those present, came the reading of an interesting paper on budding, by Mr. Van Cleave of the Brookshurst orange grove, as follows: As there are a great many old seedlings and Australian navel orange trees which are of not much value to their owners, I will explain in a brief way how they can be successfully budded to other varieties more profitably. First—Cut off about three-fourths of the main branches, about six inches above where the trees are branched, if possible leaving the branches uncut on the south and west side of the tree, so as to shade the trunk as much as possible, always having in view the symmetry of the future tree. If any part of the trunk is left exposed to the sun it should be covered with a piece of sack. Great care should be taken in cutting off the limbs. It should be done with a very sharp saw. Then get some mixed white paint, pour off the greater part of the oil and put on a very thick coat with a brush. The best time to cut the trees off is from March 1st to April 15th. The trees will throw out a great many sprouts, but leave them all on until about August; then thin out those near the top of the trunk, leaving more to be budded than really is needed, so as to be sure to have enough. All those on the trunk below where the ones are to be budded, should be left on to help take up the sap. Begin budding about Oct. 1st. The trees must be in good condition at the time of budding; that is, the sap must flow freely. The trees Hleinigkeiten. —Apricots and cherries have made their appearance in the market. —Dr. Lee has a beautiful magnolia tree in blossom in his garden. —Quite a smart shower of rain fell early on Tuesday morning. —The mornings continue cloudy, and the weather remains ideal for fruit and beets. —School election to-morrow. Poll open at the schoolhouse at 8 o'clock and close at sundown. —Monday being a legal holiday, or account of Memorial day, the bank and postoffice were closed, and schools were out. —Stern Bros. shipped the first carload of corn from Benedict station one day last week. The shipment consisted of two carloads and was consigned to Los Angeles. —The young ladies' euchre club will be entertained by the Misses Smythe and the residence of Don Frederico Rimpai on Los Angeles street on Saturday afternoon. —The pipe layers were at work on Clementina street yesterday, and last evening had completed the pipe to Broadway. The force will be transferred to Los Angeles street to-day. —The Presbyterian and Methodist churches will join with the Christian church on Sunday evening, the occasion being the preaching of the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Keith. The Presbyterian choir will sing. —Bishop Montgomery will administer the sacrament of confirmation at the Catholic church on Saturday morning at 10:30 An invitation is extended to public to attend and hear the Bishop. —Judge Landell joined Horace Hayward, aged 66, and Bertha Beransky, aged 52, in the holy bonds of wedlock, at Mr. Hayward's residence in West Anaheim on Tuesday afternoon. —The engagement is announced of Miss Flora Steinhart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Steinhart of San Luis Obispo, formerly of this city, to Mr. Huffman, a well-known merchant of San Francisco. —The city lot purchased by the town from Herr Bauer has been cleared off, preparatory to the erection of the addition to the power house. A cement flooring will be put in, and the size of the power house doubled. —Schools close for the summer vacation June 11th—next Friday. Class Day will be held at the Christian church at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the 10th, and the commencement exercises will be at the Opera-house the same evening. but to no purpose. The coffin was not in the place marked by the headstone, and the body had strangely disappeared. Mr. Smith was sorely distressed at the sorrowful discovery, and is of the opinion that the body of his deceased son was the victim of ghouls who wontonly desecrated the grave. Virgil Smith was 13 years of age at the time of his demise, and met his death by being thrown from his horse two days previously, sustaining injuries which resulted fatally. Drs. James Ellis and J. S. Gardiner were the attending physicians at the time, and many of the old residents recall the accident that befell the boy, a number of them having attended the funeral. The boy was riding into town, and at a point on Orangenthorpe avenue near Mr. Meade's place the horse took fright at a dog that ran out after it, and the boy was thrown, sustaining concussion of the brain. He lingered for two days without regaining consciousness, when he breathed his last. The remains were buried as stated on Aug. 18, 1877, and a neat headstone was placed at the head of the grave. The mound seemed to be undisturbed, and the last resting place of the departed was frequently decorated with flowers in remembrance of one who had been a general favorite with the family and friends. The discovery that the grave had been robbed, which was accomplished probably soon after the burial, came as a great shock to the family, who have the sincere commiseration of the entire community in their affliction. On Monday evening Mr. Smith returned with his brother to the latter's home in Orangenthorpe, and on Tuesday morning continued on his way home with Mr. Julian. The headstone was taken in the wagon with them. It has been suggested that perhaps the precise location of the grave had not been determined—that in the flight of years the headstone might have been placed to one side or the other of the grave; but this view is dissipated by the fact that post holes were sunk with an augur in many places about the lot, and no sign of the coffin was encountered. People who attended the funeral testify that the opened grave was at the exact place of burial, and that the headstone was properly placed. It seems that the body was taken up by grave diggers, perhaps the night after the burial. It being the corpse of a healthy and strongly built young man, it seems likely it was taken by ghouls for dissection by some medical college. PATRIOTIC EXERCISES. Excellent Programs Rendered at the Christian Church and the Central School Building on Friday Afternoon. The Lincoln Day exercises at the Christian Church on Friday last drew out a large attendance, and no little instruction as well as entertainment was afforded those present, old as well as young. One must be stupid indeed to fall to feel one's self better for having attended school exercises of this character, and those of Friday afternoon were no exception to the rule. The program has already appeared in these columns, and the same was carried out, with but a single exception, as originally announced. From the opening address by Prof. Keran to the closing recitation, "In Memoriam," by Miss Tarr, the pro- Great care should be taken cutting off the limbs. It should be done with a very sharp saw. Then get some mixed white paint, pour off the greater part of the oil and put on a very thick coat with a brush. The best time to cut the trees off is from March 1st to April 15th. The trees will throw out a great many sprouts, but leave them all on until about August; then thin out those near the top of the trunk, leaving more to be budded than really is needed, so as to be sure to have enough. All those on the trunk below where the ones are to be budded, should be left on to help take up the sap. Begin budding about Oct. 1st. The trees must be in good condition at the time of budding; that is, the sap must flow freely. The trees will then be in a vigorous condition, and if the budding be skillfully done it will be a success. It is safe to say, under the conditions above mentioned a skillful budder will succeed in getting ninety-five per cent or more to grow. To test the tree make an incision through the bark; if the sap oozes out and the color of the wood be a dark green, the tree will be in the best possible condition to bud. The proper selection of the buds is of great importance. Select the matured wood of the last growth of the season, or next to the last. The branches should be well rounded up and the buds full and plump. The buds must be in a dormant condition, being warm when they are just ready to start. Wrap them in a damp sack while using them and keep them in the shade. This is all that is necessary to be done first year. The next year in February or March cut the remaining old branches off close to trunk, and paint over the cuts as before, leaving all the sprouts until the tree has fully recovered from the shock. When the tree has begun to make a new growth then cut off those that are budded about from 4 to 6 inches above the bud, according to the size of the stock. Leave all the sprouts that are not budded to keep the sap in circulation so it will not become stagnant. But if it is seen that any of the sprouts are taking up too much sap and retarding the growth of the buds out them back or off entirely. During the summer the buds must be tied up to the old stock, and if they get too long and heavy cut them back to prevent them from breaking off. If any of the buds fail to come they can be rebudded any time from April 1st to June, the earlier the better. A discussion of the paper followed, and a vote of thanks was on motion of Mr. Rogers, tendered Mr. Van Cleave for his paper. The next order of business was a full discussion of the proposed change in the meeting day, Julian Holman favoring some other day than Monday. Mr. Holman said that farmers generally rest on Sunday, and get up early on Monday morning anxious to get in a full day's work. He thought that some other day later in the week would conduce to a larger attendance at the meetings of the club. A call was made for an expression of opinion by the ladies, and the consensus was that Monday was a bad day because it was wash day; Tuesday was likewise a bad day because it was ironing-day; Wednesday was mending-day, and so on during the entire week. But as everybody present was willing to devote one afternoon a month to the club, it was decided to defer further discussion of any change until the next regular meeting. Mr. Hunter asked about the question box, and was informed by the chair that if it were not in evidence, ques- Miss Flora Steinhart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.W.

One must be stupid indeed to fall to feel one's self the better for having attended school exercises of this character, and those of Friday afternoon were no exception to the rule. The program has already appeared in these columns, and the same was carried out, with but a single exception, as originally announced. From the opening address by Prof. Keran to the closing recitation, "In Memoriam," by Miss Tarr, the program was one full of inspiring thought and patriotic impulse. It would be invidious to make comparisons, where so much was characterized by such merit, but especial praise must be given the drill by sixteen little girls of Miss Tarr's room, which called out such resounding applause—the first demonstration of its kind, we believe, the sacred walls have so far heard, Miss Tarr's recitation was also loudly applauded, and we feel it a duty to say that, judging from all appearances, this gracious young lady teacher has taken quite a hold upon us all, scholars as well as parents and patrons of the school. The singing of the patriotic songs "Tenting on the old Camp Ground," as well as "America," "Star Spangled Banner," and other airs of a national character, were rendered in an inspiriting manner, and the various recitations by the pupils were well done, reflecting as they did marked credit not only upon themselves, but upon the teachers and schools as well. Mrs. Horr's younger pupils also had exercises of a similar character at the Central school building, the program of which has already appeared. The pupils acquitted themselves very credibly, and much entertainment as well as instruction was imparted by the exercises. A large attendance of the patrons of the school was present, and the excellent program reflected no little credit upon teacher and pupil. Sheep and Hog Men, Attention. Four hundred acres of barley, at Alamitos, that will average 5 to 6 sacks per acre, for sale to sheep or hog man. Apply to O. S. Devoe Los Alamitos. Townsend's Stock Theater Co. will appear at the Opera-house on the 14th for 3 nights, opening with "Lost in London." A call was made for an expression of opinion by the ladies, and the consensus was that Monday was a bad day because it was wash day; Tuesday was likewise a bad day because it was ironing-day; Wednesday was mending-day, and so on during the entire week. But as everybody present was willing to devote one afternoon a month to the club, it was decided to defer further discussion of any change until the next regular meeting. Mr. Hunter asked about the question box, and was informed by the chair that if it were not in evidence, questions could be asked anyhow. Questions may be left at any time during the month with the Secretary, or brought up at the meetings, and they will be answered. Mr. Schwenckert extended an invitation to the club to meet at his residence for the June meeting, which was accepted with thanks. A letter was read from Prof. Cook relative to a meeting to be held at some central point in the future, to be composed of delegates of every Farmer's club in Southern California, and inviting the club to send delegates. Filed. Mrs. Fay dispensed her kindly hospitality to all, and the club started off with a most interesting meeting. The program for the next meeting has not yet been arranged, but it will probably include a paper by Prof. Woodbridge on fumigation. Water Stock for Sale. Shares in the A. U. W. Co. for sale.

The boys dug up enough to pay for a new pane, and in a short time Fred Backs had it fixed so that it looked as though nothing had happened. Rev. Keith will preach the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the public schools, at the Christian church next Sunday evening. Rev. Keith is an impressive speaker, deep thinker, and a man of judgment, and his sermons are models of pulpul declamation. His baccalaureate sermon ought to fill the spacious church with a crowded audience. The trench diggers at work excavating for the city water main began digging yesterday on Los Angeles street, having completed their labor the day before on Clementina street. The Center-street pipe is laid for the most part, and the work is being pushed along as rapidly as the force of men employed will permit. Mall from the north arrives at 9:59 a.m., instead of 9:07 as heretofore, the new time table going into effect on Sunday. This new 10 o'clock mail service is not at all to the liking of the residents of the town, and many complaints are heard concerning it. Ten o'clock is too late for our morning mail. Eight o'clock would be about right, but 10 is out of the question. A petition to the Postoffice Department protesting against the service is talked of. The Santa Fe time table has undergone another change, and trains pass Anaheim as follows: For Los Angeles, 8 a.m., 10:24 a.m., 5:10 p.m. For Santa Ana and San Diego, 9:49 a.m., 2:49 a.m. (ex.

There was many a worse man in the world than Jim Buckley, and his old friends will feel a pang of regret at his untimely taking off. Steadfast in his friendship, and the soul of constancy, his good qualities are written in brass and his frailties in water. Poor Jim! The new County Government Act went into effect on Tuesday. The only officer affected in Orange county is the Surveyor, who will henceforth draw $8 per day while actually engaged in the service of the county, instead of $10 as heretofore. The court reporter will receive a monthly salary of $50 with 10 cents per folio for transcribing the first copy and 5 cents per folio for each additional copy, and the fees of his office will go into the county treasury. Gustav Hansen informs us that experiments made with the growing of sugar beets in Illinois, according to reliable information received by him, show that the best the polariscope can show is 9.7 saccharine—which would seem to leave that State out of the calculation so far as sugar making is concerned. Extensive experiments had been made, under the auspices of the most careful and experienced farmers, assisted by the government experimental station, to ascertain what sugar beets could do in the sucker State, and great hopes had been entertained by the farmers that the tests would be so successful that at least one sugar factory with good prospects of others, would be erected this coming season. But these hopes have been dashed to the ground, and if the Illinois farmers wish to embark in the sugar beet business they had best follow Mr. Hansen's example and emigrate to California. The concert given at the M. E. church on Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Epworth League was largely attended and proved quite a financial success. The White orchestra assisted by Mr. Beek and Mr. Ed Crowther rendered several selections during the evening. Mr. G. Abram Smith's songs were greatly enjoyed, as were also those by Mrs. C. S. Rogers and Mrs. Harry White. Mrs. L. C. Balley gave a reading, and Miss Tarr in her recitation displayed a great deal of talent. The graphaphone was exhibited by Mr. Beek, who explained its workings and illustrated its reproductive powers by giving several selections, including one from the Marine Band, several songs and Mr. McKinley's inauguration speech. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Rogers sang into it, and Rev. Keith of the Christian church made an address, all being reproduced and fully illustrating the wonders of its working. The entertainment closed with a selection from the orchestra. At 8 o'clock last evening Ramon Aguilar and Miss May Josephine PERSONAL MENTION.

As we go to press no word reaches us of the happy event, but as Ramon was always a punctual lad, we have no doubt he attended to this pleasant duty with due punctuality, and as our press starts up to run off the edition, we expect the minister is just pronouncing the words joining the happy couple, and we can almost hear the wedding bells ringing. The New Orleans Item of May 21st contains the following bit of a send-off to the happy couple: "Invitations are out for the marriage of Miss May Josephine Brown and Mr. Ramon Francisco Aguilar, on Wednesday, June 2, at 8 o'clock p.m., at the residence of Major and Mrs. Henry C.Brown, No.200 General Taylor street. Miss Brown is a young lady who has won a host of friends by her many graces of mind and person, and their best wishes go to her in advance of her wedding. In these wishes the Item heartily joins." There's nothing half so sweet in life As love's young dream.' and none is more deserving of its perfect and endearing nectar than Miss Brown." J. Bauer who owns the lot adjoin-ing the electrical power-house on the north and from whom the City Fathers decided last week to purchase some 60 feet for the extension of the engine room, was down from Los Angeles on Sunday, having been written to by a friend in town that the city must have the lot and informing him that it was worth $400, whereas the town had offered only $200 for it. Mr. Bauer found that he came too late — that Trustee Helmsen, who had purchased the lot in hand, had already made an agreement with Mr. Kroeger, who has Bauer's power of attorney, for the purchase of the land at the latter figure. This agreement was made on Wednesday day of last week, the day after the meeting of the City Trustees, wherein power had been delegated Trustee Helmsen to purchase the lot, and was recorded the next day — 60 feet of the lot for $200. Bauer who lives at the Sisters' hospital in Los Angeles, was informed by his correspondent on Thursday that the lot was worth $400 and came to Anaheim on Sunday to investigate. He found that the bird had down," as it were; and returned to the angelic burg no richer than when he had come. Two hundred dollars is a fair price for the lot, and rather than pay much more, the city would have purchased another lot across the alley north of the powerhouse belonging to Cooper Willie. A correspondent writing to the Fullerton Tribune last week presents rather a bloomy picture of the method of the extension of the water limits: "The committee went carefully over the petitions as reported upon by the directors and found that instead of water works to a depth of 21 feet, and on Tuesday afternoon had finished Mr. Coombs has sunk the well pit at the water works to a depth of 21 feet, and on Tuesday afternoon had finished Mr. Harker is entertaining an old-time friend from Illinois, Mr. Henderson, who for some days past has been in town with his wife. Mr.Harker has been showing his friends about the country, and yesterday drove them down to the Landing. Napoleon Hart was on the sick list one day last week, and had to take to his bed. Careful nursing on the part of Mrs.Hart conspired to fix him all right once more, and Napoleon was out next day all smiles again. A.M.Williams and H.A.M.Williams paid a visit to Rivera on Tuesday to attend the meeting of the walnut growers called to determine whether or not to erect a large warehouse. On account of the small crop of nuts this season, some of the Rivera growers reporting from a fourth to half a crop, it is hardly thought probable the warehouse will be erected. Madame Modjeska will open the Santa Ana Opera-house June 18th, having completely recovered her health.The play will be Mary Stuart, and she will be assisted by Miss Langenberger,H.A.Dickel and Chas.Rogers of this city,and a large company of other amateurs. Senator Jones was in from his ranch at Garden Grove on Monday morning.The Senator has a new cut to his whiskers,and now wears closely cropped Burnside.This improves his appearance,and the old gentleman looks more and more dignified statesman that he is.Ah there,Senator! T.A.Darling leaves to-day for his old home in Iowa,where he will visit with his father and mother for a month or six weeks.His leave of absence extends two months,and he will probably be back before the time expires.On his return trip he will visit a brother in Montana.During his absence his place at the S.P.depot will be taken by E.S.Ware,the company's relief agent. Will Julian who for nearly three years past has occupied the responsible position of book-keeper at Stern Bros.Establishment leaves the latter part ofthe week for Long Beach where he will reside permanently,and act as general manager of his mother's new boarding house which has lately been erected at that seaside resort.Will have made many friends during his residence here who regret his departure and wish him abundance of good luck in his new home. Supervisor Hawkins who is now sojourning in the east is evidently taking a whirl in all the attractionsthe easterners have around Vienna.Ill.The local paper of that place says: J.W.Hawkins of Orange county,Cal.,visited his nephew.W.H.Hawkins here this week.While here he visited Hell's Neck,Tad Pole,Hard Sorabble,Catskin,Stealeasy Wild Cat Church,Sneakout,Pulltight and other points of interestWe learn thatMr.Hawkins is Supervisor of Orange county,在which D.T.Brock,后来Tugerine,这state,是county clerk." When County Clerk Brock was confronted with the foregoing incriminating bit of evidence he made a clean breast of it, confessing all。它 is not known when Brock will be taken back.

Steith preach the baccacaemon to A correspondent writing to the Fullerton Tribune last week presents rather a gloomy picture of the method of the extension of the water limits: "The committee went carefully over the petitions as reported upon by the directors and found that instead of there being 4647 shares of stock signed as stated by them, that all told, good bad and indifferent there were only 3968 shares signed; or 680 shares less than they reported to the board, and 623 shares short of the number required to enlarge the district had they all been genuine. In addition to this they found that out of the 3967 shares signed, there were 961 bogus shares, mainly made up of persons who had signed twice and in some instances stock was signed for three times—those who had stock at one time, but had disposed of the whole or a part of it; the names of persons who did not nor ever had owned a share of stock, and in one case the name of a man appeared who had been dead two or three years." After deducting the bogus shares the petition lacked 1584 shares of the number necessary to enlarge the district. In addition to all this it was very evident to the committee that the names of several stockholders had been forged, also in several cases parties had signed for others without having proper authority. As explained elsewhere, much of this discrepancy was caused by one of the lists, containing over 1200 shares favoring the extension, being missed by the committee. But the accusations are serious, and should not have been made without proper proof. A committee of the board have since gone over the lists and pronounce the figures correct, all of the shares being genuine, no "bogus" ones among the lists, and denying the accusations of the Reform Club's committee. The company's Board of Audit will probably be called upon to settle the question. 2,000 good Fruit Trays and 100 Fruit Boxes, for drying fruit; for sale cheap. Apply to M. V. B. Lovering, Fullerton. ma27-1m* Mr. Coombs has sunk the well pit at the water works to a depth of 21 feet, and on Tuesday afternoon had finished the construction of the circular wall about the pit to the height of 12 feet from the bottom. This wall will be allowed to stand until to-day, when operations will begin upon undermining it, with a view to sinking it to the requisite 28 foot level. A foot or two of the remaining ground will be taken out to day, after which the pumps will be started to carry out the water and the sand mixed with it, so that, if the operation be successful, further excavations will be carried on by means of hydraulic power. When the excavations have reached twenty eight feet the cement flooring will be put in and the wall constructed up to the top. The circular wall is a foot thick. Mr. Coombs informs us he will probably complete the job by Wednesday or Thursday next. Mrs. Fay received a telegraphic message from Mr. Fay on Friday conveying the intelligence that he had been in a railroad accident at Glenwood Springs, Col., that day, in which the engineer and fireman were killed and several passengers seriously injured, but he very fortunately escaped unhurt. The train on which Mr. Fay was journeying to Denver ran into a freight train on the sidling, the switch having been left open. The scene of the wreck was on the banks of the Rio Grande and a precipitous cliff fell away to the river many feet below. The place was an extremely bad one for an accident, at the collision might have telescoped the cars and sent them hurtling down the embankment into the river. Fortunately, no such untoward event intervened, and after a delay of some hours, Mr. Fay continued on his journey to Denver uninterrupted.
