IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK By night and by day in Anaheim at this season of the year, is heard the whistling, echoing notes of thousands of happy mocking birds and canaries. Their serenade is perpetual in this, their natural and indisturbed home. While the sight is charmed with the hue of luxuriant flowers and trees, and their aroma fills the senses, the melody of countless rare birds force upon the mind-of man a happy and contented sensation. These birds are so tame that they build their nests in the garden shrubbery. Last night we were suddenly surprised at what we supposed to be a man whistling for a dog, but our thoughts were quickly changed and somewhat confused. By hearing in rapid succession the notes of a canary, followed by an exact imitation of a cat bird. It was about midnight, and a wild mocking bird had entered our chamber window and seated itself up on the back of a chair. The vote for president in Los Angeles county at the last election was as follows: Seymour, 1236; Grant, 748. Democratic majority, 488. A new cooper shop has been built on the cross street leading from Los Angeles street to Lemon, and on a line with the Catholic church and city jail. Died, at his residence in Anaheim, on May 18, 1871, F. A. Goodrich, aged 29 years. Funeral was held at 10 a.m. A dispatch from Los Angeles yesterday afternoon brings the startling information that the Baron Snigglefitz escaped from the chain gang while at work in front of the Jonathan club, and was making his way to the mountains, with fifteen police officers and forty-five members of the Jonathan club after him. As we go to press a report reaches us that the Baron's name was used unjustifiably in the rumored escape from the chain gain. The report adds that positions on the chain gang are so crowded just now that the Baron has not been able to be accommodated, and is giving his attention to scrubbing floors inside the jail. He will probably be put on the chain gang later on. We stop the press to say that a dispatch from Los Angeles received last evening at 6:45 o'clock, brings the intelligence that the Baron did a particularly neat job scrubbing the jail floor, and his success in that line is so great that he probably will be given an opportunity of doing some more of it. The delivery of water by the water company during the first half of the current month has probably been the largest in the history of the company, the delivery in North Anaheim being $745.19 worth up to and including the 15th, and in Anaheim $304.35 for the same time, a total of $1049.09 for both sections. The sales for the month to noon yesterday amounted to $1706.09. The vote for president in Los Angeles county at the last election was as follows: Seymour, 1236; Grant, 748. Democratic majority, 488. A new cooper shop has been built on the cross street leading from Los Angeles street to Lemon, and on a line with the Catholic church and city jail. Died, at his residence in Anaheim, on May 18, 1871, F. A. Goodrich, aged 38 years. Funeral was held at 10 a.m. yesterday. Following are the names of the pall-bearers who were chosen from among his most intimate friends: Theodore Rimpau, Obed Macy, Dye Davies, Peter Richards, S. J. Davis, Charles Switzer, N. H. Mitchell and Ed Polhemus. During the funeral the flags on the Planters' and Richards' were at half mast. On Monday last the schooner, Golden Gate, laden with fence posts, sailed from off the briney deep ocean right into Newport, below Santa Ana. No soundings were taken, and no difficulty was experienced. Everything is created for a purpose, and it is now found that alkali has its uses. Persons who have been compelled to go barefoot, through it discover that it softens corns, and causes them to perish from off their toes. It is also supposed to be good for tanning purposes, as persons who go much where it predominates, soon become bald headed. The result of the building of the Texas Pacific railroad, will be the annexation of Sonora, Lower California, and other Mexican provinces. It will also cause the subjugation of the wild Apache. Forty houses are erected at River-side, and the water is about to be turned into ditches extending through the town. Preparation is being made for a grand jubilee when the water flows. Last Monday evening as Mr. D. K. Williams was about entering the gate leading from the street to his residence, he was suddenly attacked by a man who had partly concealed himself in the shade of some trees. Mr. Williams resisted the attack and was scuffling with his assailant, when the noise attracted several citizens, who approached and seized the assailing party. City Marshal Hill then took charge of the man, who gave every indication he probably will be given an opportunity of doing some more of it. The delivery of water by the water company during the first half of the current month has probably been the largest in the history of the company, the delivery in North Anaheim being $745.19 worth up to and including the 15th, and in Anaheim $304.35 for the same time, a total of $1049.09 for both sections. The sales for the month to noon yesterday amounted to $1706.09. More water is being delivered and there is more water in the ditches than ever. Henry Garflas, who died last week at Phoenix, Arizona, from the effects of being thrown from a horse, was well and favorably known by many of our townsmen, he having lived here with his family in the early 70's. He was known in the territory as one of the bravest officers in Arizona, and his death is deeply mourned by all, the papers which have come to hand with accounts of his death, praising him highly for his bravery as an officer as well as uprightness as a citizen. The two younger Garflas boys—Manuel and Mariano—are also well and favorably known by old timers, both having gone to school here, and Manuel having been thereafter an employee of this office. He learned to be a very fine printer, but subsequently emigrated to Mexico, where he entered the army and rose rapidly to the ranks of commanding officer. During the war with the Indians some years ago he was shot and killed while in the defense of his country. Mariano, the youngest of the brothers, is now in the City of Mexico, attached to the military staff of President Diaz. Madame Modjeska's condition is reported to be improving, according to reports from her Santiago home, and hopes are entertained that as soon as the distinguished actress shall have recovered sufficiently to admit of traveling, she will come to Anaheim to spend some weeks with friends here. Baker Kistler has moved his Boston Bakery to his new establishment on Center street, opposite the city hall, and has decorated the building with mammoth signs, gorgeously portraying the luxuries to be found therein.

Williams was about entering the gate leading from the street to his residence, he was suddenly attacked by a man who had partly concealed himself in the shade of some trees. Mr. Williams resisted the attack and was scuffling with his assailant, when the noise attracted several citizens, who approached and seized the assault party. City Marshal Hill then took charge of the man, who gave every indication of being insane. He was recognized by a citizen to be H. C. Smith, of Livermore valley, Alameda county, and is said to have been a member of the legislature in 1851-52. While in jail, Mr. Smith tried to choke himself by placing two large handkerchiefs in his mouth. He was very violent and managed with difficulty by the marshal. On the road to Los Angeles, whither he was conveyed, he repeatedly stated that the Lord was after him in a balloon, and that he wanted to go back. He is to be conveyed to Stockton. During the week several meetings have been held by vineyardists to take into consideration the feasibility of through shipments of wine to the east. The proceedings were conducted in German, and hence we have not a clear idea of the plan under consideration. The difficulty, however, appears in a want of unity of action among the they do not act. We understand one they do not act. We understand one object was to ascertain if the Panama steamers will make Anaheim Landing and Willmington ports of call. The meeting has grown out of a communication addressed to the common council by the L. A. & S. P. Ry. Co., and which was referred to the lighter company. Baker Kistler has moved his Boston Bakery to his new establishment on Center street, opposite the city hall, and has decorated the building with mammoth signs, gorgeously portraying the luxuries to be found therein. B. F. Porter went up to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, having been called to the bedside of Grandpa Mead, Mrs. Porter's father, who is lying dangerously ill at his home in the Angelic city. W. M. McFadden was in from Placentia yesterday enroute to the woman's parliament at Santa Ana, going over to take his wife. Mac was toggled out in a new suit of clothes and his face was suffused with a broad smile, which was not out of place, for he had just sold out his oranges, which four buyers had been after for some days past. He sold out his remaining crop of 1400 boxes to Earl at $1.65 spot cash per box on the trees. Mrs. Berkenstock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, of Placentia, who resides with her husband on the Tombes place, was taken with a severe attack of bleeding at the nose and mouth on Friday afternoon last, which continued for some hours, throwing her into spasms, and grave apprehensions were felt for her recovery. However, she rallied at dark after suffering with the malady for two hours or more, and was soon out of danger. Later reports are that although weak from loss of blood, is well on the way to recovery. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50.

Testimony of Anaheim Citizens When an Anaheim citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Investigation proves it true. Below is a statement of an Anaheim resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had. S. C. Marburger, carpenter, 121 S. Ohio St., says: "I can endorse Doan's Kidney Pills as a good remedy as I used them with good results. My kidneys got out of order and I had severe backaches and pains over my kidneys. When I stooped I had sharp catches in my back. My kidneys acted irregularly, too. I used Doan's Kidney Pills as directed and they were just what I needed. Doan's soon fixed me up in good shape. The backaches left and my kidneys acted naturally." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Marburger had.
