IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histori of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1876 The Literary Society, on Monday evening, decided that savage nations had no right to the soil. A resolution was passed adnitting ladies to membership in the society without the payment of the customary initiation fee. They will however, be required to contribute their monthly dues. A committee consisting of Messrs. Lynill, Guinn and Athearn were appointed to ascertain the cost of establishing a free reading room in Anaheim under the auspices of the society. They will report at the next meeting. The subject for debate for Monday evening, July 31, will be: Resolved, That the miser does a greater injury to society than the spendthrift. The speakers on the affirmative side are Messrs. Knox, Calisher, Nagle and Carroll; on the negative, Mendelson, Cohn, D'Assonville and Anderson. The selections for declamation are Miss Yda Addis, D. R. Payne and Frank Mielenz. The Republican Club met at Kroeger's hall on Wednesday evening. A permanent executive committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs.

A permanent executive committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Guinn, Pierce, Fischer, Viles, Higgins and Henderson. The correspondence of the Central committee at Los Angeles was read, and Thursday evening was fixed upon to receive ex-Governor Woods and hold a general ratification meeting for this portion of the county.

Mitchell, Guinn and Knox was appointed to invite the Republican clubs of Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin to attend the general ratification meeting. The meeting then adjourned to meet at the store of H. Blanken, on Wednesday evening, August 2. About 8 o'clock on Sunday evening a disastrous fire occurred at San Juan Capistrano. The fire originated in the house of Don Juan Abila. That building, together with the block adjoining, was totally destroyed. Iler's hotel was saved by blowing up a wing of the building nearest to the fire. The block which was burned was in the central part of town. The loss will amount to between $15,000 and $16,000. The fire was caused by someone throwing a lighted cigarette into some hay in the rear of Don Juan Abila's residence. Fortunately, all of the furniture in the house was saved. Sidewalks seem to be all the rage just now, and Center street received a few touches yesterday, which will excite the gratitude of our weary printers who are obliged to walk along the street after midnight. If those gentlemen who have wagons, mowing machines, etc., on the sidewalks were obliged to leave a lighted hall after midnight and stumble along over the carelessly left obstacles, they would be a little more careful of their property and considerate of the poor typo. Supervisor Hannon has furnished the El Monte Observer with the names of the heaviest taxpayers of the county: Hon. J. G. Downey, $133,428; Michael Reese, $140,000; E. J. Baldwin, $133,685; Don Domingues, $121,000; Mrs. Baker, $182,870. The above only includes real estate and improvements. Yesterday the carpenters commenced laying the sidewalk around the Planters hotel. This is a step in the right direction and will be appreciated by the pedestrians. All our hotels have availed themselves of the new ice agency, and the train brought to each a package. We don't like mint-juleps. Mr. G. Mendelson was considerably burned, on Thursday evening, in endeavoring to extinguish a fire which at one time threatened to consume his entire dwelling. The fire caught from the sparks from a candle. Mr. Frank Ey has leased the establishment vacated by Mr. Beebe and, we understand, will open a variety and fruit store. Ben Dreyfus arrived in Anaheim last evening. W. S. Wright left yesterday morning for a brief visit to the old folks in Massachusetts. Mr. G.

The owner can obtain it by applying to Scott & Montgomery, in the hall. In a conversation with Mr. Heimann yesterday, we were informed that the work on the fruit dryer was progressing as fast as labor and money could push it forward, and that it would without doubt be in readiness to experiment with this year's crop of fruit. There is no doubt but that it will be a source of great profit to this vicinity, and it deserves every encouragement. Mr. N. H. Mitchell had the misfortune to lose a very fine horse yesterday from the effects of over-driving. Louis Wartenburg has opened a produce store in the building formerly occupied by J. S. Roberts on Center street. Mr. Louis Mendelson arrived from Lower California yesterday morning. He brought with him a horse which was driven by General Soso, governor of Lower California, at the time he was killed. The horse at this time was tied to a tree for 12 days and 13 nights without food or water. The Republicans of San Bernardino have instructed their delegates to the congressional convention to favor ex-Governor Pacheco. Our blessing on the little maiden who laid the sprig of peaches on our table yesterday. They closely resemble the donor, inasmuch as they are very pretty but a little too young for eating. Episcopal Sunday school on Sunday morning promptly at 10 o'clock. Morning service by Rev. G. M. Hubbard, missionary in charge, at 11 o'clock.

The disease is constitutional and affects the liver. The young birds seem to be healthy at their hatching, but in a fortnight begin to droop and rarely survive three weeks. Last year 70 were lost, and this year so far 30 have died. A similar disease attacked the ostriches at Cape Town during Atherton’s residence there. There are 72 grown birds on the farm, and all of them seem to be doing well. Peter Weisel has a force of 200 hands at work at the cannery for peaches, several carloads having arrived from Fresno county.

Bradford returned last week from his trip east, during which he visited the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, as well as the cities of New York, Boston, and other points of interest. Mr. Bradford was gone two months, and reports a pleasant trip. Oh, see the Bloomer Girls! Did you see the Bloomer girl fall on Frank Dyer as she put him out between first and second? Did you see the Bloomer girl fan out the boys and throw them out while napping at first? Score 6 to 5 in favor of the girls. The Anaheim boys were too gallant to think of defeating them. Joe Backs wore his best smile as he stepped into the pitcher's box. He had the girls hypnotized by that smile from the start. "If you hit my face, it will stop," said one of the girls, as she ducked an inshoot. The home team was composed of Joe Backs, Welborn Wallop, Nick Hugo, Joe Wagner, Bob Rimpau, Frank Dyer, Murry Paschall, Bob Mills and Steve Rimpau.
