(Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1876 Whether 'tis better to suffer the ills we have than to fly to others we know not of, or words to that effect, is the question. It is true that covering the streets with straw prevents the too free circulation of dust, and affords a luxurious resting place for the homeless and orphaned flea. But twice during the summer the straw has been discovered on fire, and it is a mooted question whether it would not be better to suffer from the dust, and even to be inhuman enough to deprive the mercurial and vivacious flea of his resting place, in preference to having our property burned. We hope our intellectual road master will ponder on this conundrum. The fire on Los Angeles street yesterday did not amount to much, to be sure; but such occurrences are to be deprecated because of the shock to the nervous system of the insurance companies—for they have a way of retaliating by raising the rates, which is not conducive to that peace of mind which should be the lot of every man fortunate enough to own insurable property. The evenings of the average Anaheimer are pretty well occupied.

O. O. F.; on Wednesday he plays seven-up in the bosom of his family, or attends the Hayes and Wheeler Club; on Thursday he drops in to see how Orpheus lodge of Odd Fellows (German) is getting on; on Friday he abjures the seductive cocktail and the thirst-quenching lager and visits Anaheim lodge of Good Templars; on Saturday afternoon he attends the Grange, and in the evening he rides the festive goat at the Masonic meeting, or eulogises Tilden and Hendricks at Enterprise hall; on Sunday he goes to church or to bed. The Literary Society held its regular meeting on Monday night. The question, "Resolved, That the unanimity required from juries is conducive to the attainment of the ends of justice," was discussed and decided in the affirmative. The subject to be discussed next Monday is, "Resolved, That free trade is more beneficial to the welfare of the country than a protective tariff." The affirmative will be sustained by Messrs. F. M. Cahill, Bancroft, Henderson and McFadden, and the negative by Messrs. J. M. Guinn, Haskell, Fischer and Athearn. Miss Yda Addis and Messrs. Lynn and Cord were appointed to declaim at the next meeting. The free reading room committee reported, and it was decided to rent the room adjoining the office of Lynn & Cahill. Contractor McKinnie is endeavoring to complete the Episcopal church, so that it can be used on the Sabbath after next. On Tuesday night some scamp attempted to gain entrance to the residence of Richard Heimann, on Los Angeles street. He made his appearance at the window of a room occupied by a lady member of the family, who, fortunately, was awake and by her outcries frightened him off. He retreated to the street, where he was joined by a couple of companions. On the same night an attempt was made to break into Mrs. Keller's house, but here again the outcry made prevented the consummation of the deed. We think the scoundrels have got about to the end of their tether. The protective organization will assuredly gather them in ere many nights have passed. "Reform is necessary." Ex-Governor Pacheco, the Republican candidate for congress from this district, will visit this section in October. Leonard Parker caught a Chinaman, Ah Ca by name, refreshing himself in his vineyard.

The Southern Pacific managers will extend an invitation to the mayor and other leading citizens of San Francisco to participate in an excursion to Los Angeles when connection is made.

Tombes of Anaheim and D. C. Hayward of Orange. There are forty-four pupils in the Anaheim grammar school department, thirty-eight in the intermediate department and fifty-two in the primary department, making a total of one hundred and thirty-four pupils. An attempt was made on Thursday evening to enter the home of Mrs. Kuelp. Two panes of glass were taken from the windows—one pane was broken, and the other removed entirely from the sash.

S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1901 Col. J. K. Tuffree has for some days past been surveying his Rancho Buena Vista into 10 and 20-acre lots, laying out wide avenues and thoroughfares, and will on Tuesday, September 17, begin an auction sale of a limited number of lots with a view to starting the new town of Borromeo. The location is ideal, the ranch being surrounded by orange and walnut groves and close to its southern border lies the richest oil field in Southern California; there is also water in abundance. One transcontinental line has been surveyed through the ranch and when the San Pedro harbor is completed, another line will traverse the new town. Thus it will be seen that Borromeo's prospects are of a roseate hue. The Dominican Sisters have a present 180 orphans at St. Catherine's academy, and a happier or more contented lot of youngsters it would be hard to discover. The kids are enjoying vacation now, and a number of half-orphans are away at their homes. Before the close of the school term there were 198 boys at the orphanage. The youngsters arise at 6:45, have breakfast at 7:00, dinner at noon, lunch during the afternoon and supper at 5:30. They go to bed at 7:30, say their prayers, and are watched over throughout the night by the sisters, of whom there are 15 at the academy.

During the day the boys play ball and other games in the spacious playground. An adjoining orchard furnishes an abundance of fruit. The grounds are kept scrupulously clean, and the little orphans are lucky indeed to have such guardian angels keeping watch and ward over them as the good Dominican Sisters.

Personal Notes From the Landing—Fishing is improving and a number of good catches of bluefish were taken from the wharf today.
