IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1876 The following statistics of Los Angeles county, as compiled from the assessor's office, are of interest: Population of Los Angeles county, 30,000; area of land cultivated, 65,000 acres, of which 14,100 were devoted to raising barley, which produced about 415,950 bushels; corn, 14,100 acres, producing 639,000 bushels; the wheat crop of 1875 was about 20,000 bushels; this year it is expected to be increased by at least 10,000, mainly at San Fernando.

The total quantity of wine produced last year was 1,325,900 gallons, of brandy 51,000 gallons were distilled in the same time. In 1875 there were 6900 lemon trees in bearing condition, and 36,700 orange trees; the number is expected to be greatly increased this year, probably doubled.

Winter Fashions—Our correspondent, writing from San Francisco, says: For the benefit of your lady readers I can say that pin-backs are tighter than ever. Rumor says that for the Winter Fashions—Our correspondent, writing from San Francisco, says: For the benefit of your lady readers I can say that pin-backs are tighter than ever. Rumor says that for the winter season the fair sex are to be invested in full suits of buckskin underwear, made in maculine fashion, to give the so desired slimness of figure, combined with warmth. Undershirts will, in consequence, be discarded. The trimming on the dress skirts will be entirely wanting or as compact as possible, and the long polonnaise will reach almost to the bottom of the skirt. The general aspect of a lady of fashion at the present much resembles a bird common in our woods, slim and yet black as to its body, the only color visible being a spot of bright scarlet on its crested head. Mr. B. F. Townsend of Westminster called upon us yesterday, bringing with him a sweet potato weighing 13½ pounds, grown upon his place. In the first ward in Los Angeles, the brother of the late Tiburcio Vasquez worked on Election Day like a beaver against Pacheco, and made many a Spanish vote for the Democratic candidate, on the ground that Pacheco made no effort to save Tiburcio Vasquez from the just fate which overtook him. The Weaverville and Redding stage was stopped on Monday night near Redding by two highwaymen, who demanded the Wells Fargo box, which the driver handed down, but as the treasure was in the iron box which was fastened on the coach, they got nothing but a few letters. Bishop Kip will preach and administer the rite of confirmation and the sacrament of the holy communion in St. Michael's church on next Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock. Morning prayer will be held at a quarter before 10 o'clock, in order to shorten the mid-day service. In the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, there will be a children's service and infant baptism. Mr. M. Calisher is expected to arrive soon in Anaheim. He will leave Arizona about the twentieth instant. Mr. G. H. Kellogg, agent for the popular firm of J. W. Gale & Company of San Francisco, has some interesting words to say to farmers in our advertising columns today. The water ditch broke loose yesterday, flooding Center street nearly the entire length. It will keep the dust down effectively for a few days. The Fairview Sunday school was reorganized last Sunday, with a good attendance. The following officials were chosen for the ensuing year. Superintendent, S. B. Smith; assistant superintendent, Edward Evey; secretary and treasurer, Byron G. Clark; librarian, Miss Laura Evey; organist Edward Stone. Mr. B. F. Seibert of the Bank of Anaheim has lately received the appointment as agent of the Home Mutual Life Insurance Company.

The Fabbri opera troupe contemplate giving an entertainment in Anaheim soon. Opera in our town will be quite an innovation. Mr. H. Cahen, of the firm of Cahen & Willard, left for San Francisco this morning. Our reporter attended the spiritualistic seance given by the Kellar family at the home of Mrs. L. Parker on Sunday evening, and witnessed some of the manifestations in the dark cabinet. A lot of bells were caused to make a hideous noise about his ears; his watch was taken from his pocket and opened, and his whiskers were pulled by the spirit of an old lady about 65 years of age. We have often had our whiskers pulled by ladies of a more tender age, and can testify that the sensation was somewhat similar. The Kellar family give an interesting performance and are worthy of patronage. The school trustees, after carefully examining the various parcels of land offered for sale for the location of a schoolhouse, accepted the tract known as Block B of vineyard lot D-3, offered by Messrs. Hammel, Denker & Koll for $1500, providing a satisfactory title could be given for the same. The tract contains about two acres of land and is located nearest the center of this school district. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1901 Father Dubbel departed on Friday for San Diego, where he will in future reside. His many friends and parishioners of St. Boniface church gave him a farewell surprise party at the residence of his parents the evening before his departure. They tendered him a small purse of money as a testimonial of their esteem, and expressed regret at his leave taking. Rev. Keefe takes Rev. Dubble's place as assistant to Father Griffith. At a meeting of the Orange County Teachers' Association, in the high school building at Santa Ana, on Saturday, the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: Prof. J. B.

Recovery has been slow, but the captain will soon be himself again. Senator Flint was a visitor in Santa Ana on Tuesday on the occasion of the courthouse dedication. He was the guest of James McFadden, who introduced him around to the boys. Senator Flint is out for the governorship and believes in the story about the early bird. When the Hall-Mills case finally comes to trial they will have to call in the witnesses by serial numbers. Otherwise where will they find a place to park all of them? A lawyer in the famous McPherson case stated that there are four kinds of ankles. But the general opinion of the boys around our office is that there are only two kinds—those that are and those that ain't. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. By.

David Bush, while out hunting Sunday afternoon with Veit Bentz, Frank Fox and the latter's young son, met with an accident which came near costing him his life. The party went to Curtis' grove, when it began raining. Fox saw a bunch of doves some distance off, and walked over to get a shot at them. Bush stood by the vehicle, his gun resting upon the footstep, and holding an umbrella over himself and Fox's little boy. Suddenly the gun slipped from the step; the hammer caught upon it, and the gun was discharged. The charge struck Bush a glancing blow in the left breast, inflicting an ugly flesh wound over the region of the heart seven inches long by five wide. He was driven into town rapidly and Drs. Bickford and Johnston called. His wound was dressed, and on Tuesday he was permitted to walk about town.
