IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette March 30, 1872. Mr. S. Randall has just begun the erection of a fine new dwelling 24x32 on Lemon street, opposite Major Strobel's residence. Don Juan Forster passed through town yesterday on his way home. Messrs. Hille and Menzel had a general house warming Wednesday evening last on the occasion of the first baking of bread in their new oven, which has just been completed on Center street. A large number of their friends and the public generally responded to an invitation to partake of good cheer and the Anaheim band enlivened the occasion with music. The new oven is ten feet by eleven feet on the inside and contains 22,000 brick. It has cost over $600 and reflects much credit upon the enterprise of Messrs. Hille and Menzel, who are determined to keep pace with the growing wants of our thriving town. For the information of our readers we publish elsewhere in full the act recently passed for the purpose of disincorporating this city. There are many points in it which are regarded by good lawyers as unconstitutional and illegal, and may prove strong enough to invalidate the whole act when brought to the test of a judicial decision. In the meantime the city of Anaheim still lives, and the city government will go on as usual until the question is fairly decided. From Gazette of April 1, 1897. Harmony Hall, the world famous home of Judge Egan at Capistrano, was entirely destroyed by fire shortly before midnight last Wednesday night. When the fire was discovered at about 11 o'clock it was then well under way and inside of an hour the building was entirely in flames. The contents, including valuable old books, mission records and bric-a-brac, were saved. Judge Egan had taken the evening train for Santa Ana and was not at home at the time of the fire. The furniture and contents were in great part saved, but the building was entirely consumed, the charred brick walls alone remaining to mark the spot where stood the famous old hailenda. Many hallowed memories cluster about this old household, and during its time it gave shelter to notable personages from every land. It was here the Southern California Editorial convention was entertained at its mid-winter outing in 1892, and it was here that Capt. Ferguson broke the record for long distance story telling. The building stood within a stone's throw of the palatial home of Don Marcus Forster, and its destruction will be deplored by the many who have been hospitably entertained by the Alcalde therein. We are sorry to hear of our old friend's misfortune, and hope that an imposing structure will soon rear its head upon the site of the old building that has passed into history. Dilly Hole was in town Saturday in... For the information of our readers we publish elsewhere in full the act recently passed for the purpose of disincorporating this city. There are many points in it which are regarded by good lawyers as unconstitutional and illegal, and may prove strong enough to invalidate the whole act when brought to the test of a judicial decision. In the meantime the city of Anaheim still lives, and the city government will go on as usual until the question is fairly decided. C. D'Assonville & Co.'s elegant little drug store has been still further improved by the addition of show windows, and colored bottles placed therein, which shine in the evening with a decidedly city like glow. Some very fine paint work has been added which was executed by those artistic work men, the Payne Bros. A little rain fell on Wednesday night, but not enough to measure. We are happy to learn that Mr. McGarvin's sale of lots at Gallatin on Thursday last was a success, as was also the ball in the evening. The sales footed up $947.50, and Mr. McGarvin advises us that he will hold another sale on the 11th of April. Attention is called to the announcement of Messrs. Evers and Reickman, who will open a new hotel at the Landing on March 31, 1872, called The Ocean House, with a picnic and free ball. Pleasure boats can be obtained by those desiring to have a sail. Lunch will be provided by the proprietors at $1.00 each. Music by the Anaheim band. Dan Moody, formerly of Anaheim, and a Mr. Eelis, who have been held on a charge of complicity in the great Los Angeles riot, were acquitted by the jury on Tuesday last. Seven others were convicted of manslaughter, viz: Mendell, McDonald, Austin, Martinez, Alvarado, Botillo and Johnson.

Ed Atherton was in town other day from his ostrich farm, and says things are looking lovely up his way. He is painting his house, beside renovating the interior. A little bird whispers that Ed will soon join the ranks of the Benedicts and will lead one of the fairest Placentia daughters to the hymeaneal altar. Mrs. Strodthoff was so unfortunate on Monday as to run a rusty nail into her foot, which required the attention of a physician. We are glad to hear that she is recovering from the injury.
