IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 11, 1876 Dr. J. N. Burtnett was in town yesterday. The doctor has established a flourishing practice in Santa Ana. The instruments for the new Anaheim band were received by A. G. Beebe yesterday, and last night sweet strains of music were leaking in all directions from Beebe's repository of song. County Treasurer Rowan, day before yesterday, closed his official responsibility by turning over to his successor the county funds in his possession, amounting to $107,927. Mr. Rowan's papers are perfectly correct and he carries with him in his retirement the good will, as well as respect, of all. The telegraph reported heavy storms in the vicinity of San Francisco yesterday. The first pay day of the shearing season took place at the store of P. Davis & Brothers yesterday. Many an empty pocket was filled by the transfer. Davis Brothers will handle the largest wool clip of Southern California this year. Los Angeles boasts two cigar makers and Anaheim one. Our city and the former are equal in the number of brewers, each having three. Santa Monica and San Bernardino have a brewer apiece.

Our city and the former are equal in the number of brewers, each having three. Santa Monica and San Bernardino have a brewer apiece. Some are still delaying the pruning of their vineyards for fear that if pruned, the new growth may be killed by an April frost. We believe there has never been a frost later in the season than April 10. Barney Williams was the fortunate winner of the accordion last night. He threw 42. Don Nicolas Covarrubias, the sheriff of Santa Barbara, is visiting in Los Angeles. Judge Evey has returned from Sacramento. Five cars of freight came down last night. A large portion of it was from the steamer. A piece of grapevine 20 feet long was yesterday brought into town by Mr. Parker. It was all the growth of one year, and is a fair illustration of the immense vigor which characterizes everything of the vine family raised here. Mr. Cheeseman came into town yesterday and reported that some one had poisoned his lot of fine hogs, and that all of them were either very sick or dead. It appears to have been done with phosphorus. Neither the motive nor the perpetrator of the outrage is known, but it will probably be ferretted out soon. We understand that the Barham ranch, at the mouth of the Santiago canyon, has been purchased by ex-Mayor Toberman of Los Angeles, who intends to immediately put the trespass law in force against all trespassers on the property. It will shortly be time for the wool clip of the county to be coming into market. It annually amounts to over 3,000,000 pounds. Mr. Farish of the large wool house of Moody & Farish, San Francisco, gives it as his opinion that the first wool will bring the best price, and that it will not at any time this season be high. Captain Black of the wrecked Nick Biddle says that he will sell to anyone for $2.50 as much of the damaged pieces of lumber as can be hauled away on a two or four-horse wagon. The timbers are most of them cedar, and probably could be used in many ways, and we mention it, thinking some of our readers may be advantaged by the information. He expects to sell the wreck next Thursday. These festivals, dances and various meetings deserve encouragement. They break the monotony of village life and promote sociability and general good feeling.

They break the monotony of village life and promote sociability and general good feeling. A good many of the attaches of the Forster Chicago expedition were in town yesterday morning and, under the direction of Don Chico Forster, were outfitting at the store of P. Davis & Bros. They will probably have an exciting trip filled with dime novel adventures. A large crowd gathered at the New Gardens, near the depot, on Sunday afternoon. The new bowling alley is now completed. Sheriff Alexander has appointed the following deputies: Under-sheriff, H. Mitchell; for Anaheim, Richard Barham; Los Nietos, S. G. Reynolds; Wilmington, T. B. Hayes; Los Angeles, Emil Harris and W. L. Banning. These are all appointments eminently fit to be made. We are glad to learn that Mr. Neales is surpassing our most sanguine expectations in collecting funds for the erection of the Episcopal church. Peach trees in Anaheim are in full bloom. The following are the shipments from the depot during the month of February: Wine, 4868 pounds; potatoes, 99,468 pounds; general merchandise, 26,596 pounds; trees, 14,155 pounds; hides, 3732 pounds; honey, 9320 pounds; grain, 146,428 pounds; green fruit, 740 pounds; beans, 2705 pounds; brea, about 100 tons. Following is a telegram from Sacramento regarding the action of the legislature about the matter of the incorporation of Anaheim. It speaks for itself: Sacramento, March 3, 1876.—In the Assembly, McConnell, from the Los Angeles delegation, reported back favorably a substitute to the Assembly bill incorporating the town of Anaheim. The special order was announced and the House went into consideration of the bill calling a constitutional question. Chapman argued in favor of the bill. The ayes and noes were called for, with the following result: Ayes 48, noes 31. The bill was passed.

Mr. Bruce will move his candy kitchen to the same place, and will act as librarian. His present location will be used by Mrs. Vinson as a millinery store. Lydia Harrison celebrated her birthday at her home at Brookshurst on Tuesday by inviting her little classmates at the Orangethorpe school to a birthday party.

McKinley has returned from her trip to Seattle. Jake Vetter is carrying his hand in a sling as the result of severe bites by a dog. Amos Jennings has returned from Sacramento, where he has been during the session of the legislature, and is now engaged in taking the assessment in this district. B. H.

Bishop Johnson preached to a large congregation at St. Michael's church on Sunday morning and confirmed a number of young ladies seeking admission to the church. Mrs. Turk and young son leave this morning for Chino, where Mr. Turk is engaged as superintendent of the sugar factory. Mr. Turk, Jr., says he is going over with his mother to see if he likes it, and if he doesn't, he'll come back to Anaheim. W. J. Cole came in from Hardscrabble Tuesday. He reports the country going into beets out his way. Monday morning's rain helped the young plants considerably. While late rains are needed to insure crops on lighter soils, much of the overflowed land near Los Alamitos is sufficiently moist to produce abundant crops. Rev. Kohlenberger was at Wilmington last week, assisting Rev. Meyer in holding revival services. He reports a number of conversions. Forty-one hundredths of an inch of rain fell early on Monday morning, the heaviest showers descending about 4:30 o'clock. The rain benefitted growing crops and helped beets. No rain has fallen since February 10, up to which time 11.70 inches had been recorded. Notwithstanding the past month's lack of rainfall, crops, except where late sown, continue to look well. Total rainfall for the season, 12.11 inches. Last year to date, 5.41 inches. Herman Fesenfeld writes from Washington, renewing his subscription and adds: "We have quite an oil excitement here just at present and, from all accounts, will have a second Los Angeles boom. We have one of the finest croppings on the ocean beach near this place that one can wish for.

His son, John, has been taking his place, and he states that papa is getting well and will soon be on the wagon again. Mr. and Mrs. Diers of Santa Ana were tendered a very pleasant surprise party on Tuesday by a number of friends from Anaheim and Santa Ana. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in music and recitations. Mrs. William Falkenstein rendered a piano solo and Mrs. Konig a vocal solo. Mrs. Porter of Santa Ana gave an instrumental piece, which was followed by recitations by Mrs. Konig and Mrs. Diers. After the program all joined in a march to the banquet room. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Diers, Mesdames Lutz, Frank Ey., Max Reinhaus, J. Harris, Nissen, Cadman, Porter, Baker, Gildmacher, William Konig, William Falkenstein, I. Asher, Strodthoff, C. Heimann, Kirby, Berlin, Max Jacobsen and Misses Hilda Harris, Berlin, Reinhaus and Diers. The election on Tuesday, for the issuance of $12,000 bonds for the erection of a high school, carried by a vote of 87 in favor to 19 against the bonds. Little opposition to the bonds developed in town, most of the votes against the measure coming from the outlying sections. Eight years ago the district voted upon the proposition of issuing bonds for a high school. The proposition was defeated by three men, one of whom had recently been displaced as principal of the school. The two others had been defeated for school trustee. The three gentlemen referred to have long since moved away. The school trustees will set about to select an appropriate location for the high school and, as soon as the bonds are disposed of, will begin the erection of a high school that will be a credit to the town. There are 58 pupils in the high school, only one of whom is from outside the district. He is charged a tuition of $5 per term, the same fee charged at the Fullerton school. The charge at Santa Ana is $30. Two of the state examining board have examined the high school and have reported favorably upon the character of its work. It is believed the school will be accredited in the near future. A Woman PASSED ON recently.
