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. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1877 The great increase of population and consequent addition to the postal business in this section has necessitated advancing the Anaheim postoffice from the fourth to the third class. All postmasters who receive a salary of over $100 per year, as is the case in Anaheim, are appointed by the President, which appointment must be confirmed by the Senate. These formalities having been gone through with, and a sufficient bond having been given, a commission is issued for four years, at the end of which time it is in order to appoint some one else. This will explain why a petition for the re-appointment of Postmaster Higgins has been circulated. Mr. Horace J. Smith took his departure for Los Angeles yesterday morning. On Friday he was the guest of D. James Ellis, who entertained him in handsome style. Mr. Smith, as correspondent of Forney's Philadelphia Press, will no doubt do full justice to Anaheim and its surroundings, as he declared himself to be heartily pleased with the country. The engine and hose company held a meeting at the town hall last evening for the purpose of electing officers. Mr. S. J. Lowe was elected as foreman, C. Bennerschedit as assistant foreman, H.

One of the latest novelties to the sheep shearers is the photograph gallery. We encountered several Indians yesterday who were admiring photographs of themselves. We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Northam to at once have the right-of-way for the ditch condemned, should the Yorbas refuse to sign the agreement required by the company. Mr. Kellogg told us yesterday that there was only about 10,000 sacks of rye in the state and, singularly enough, it is quoted at only $1.80, whereas at harvest time it was quoted at $2. C. F. Scholl returns to Oakland tomorrow. The Santa Ana Odd Fellows have invited Past Grand Master William H. Hill of Los Angeles to deliver an address on the twenty-sixth instant, the fifty-eighth anniversary of the founding of Odd Fellowship in the United States. We learn that the Anaheim lodges will be the guests of their Santa Ana brethren. Dr. George H. Bailey has purchased ten acres of land near the depot from Richard Heimann, and will immediately commence planting trees on his acquisition. The doctor has also purchased a house and lot on Sycamore street, east of Rev. Dr. Kellogg's residence, in which he intends to take up his permanent residence. We are glad that the doctor considers himself a fixture among us. Opening day at Mrs. Brown’s millinery store was a busy one for that lady.

The following telegram is from Spotted Tail agency, Nebr.: About 1000 northern hostiles made a formal surrender of their armes, ponies, etc., to General Crook at the post yesterday. Their entry was very romantic—encircling Spotted Tail's camps, they discharged their guns in the air. It called for the whole force of that chief to quiet them, after which their head chief delivered a short speech before General Crook, indicating his desire for peace, and laying his rifle at the general's feet. Among the chiefs surrendering are One-who-touches-the-coulds and Roman Nose, whose village was destroyed at Slim Buttes last summer by Captain Mills. In Pomona, a few week ago, grasshoppers hatched out in abundance, but large flocks of blackbirds have since made their appearance and are exterminating the hopper with commendable rapidity.

The decorations were in knots of pink illusion and true lovers' knots in smylax, the latter being woven on the grill work between the rooms. There were no attendants, and the young people entered alone, Mrs. A. M. Smith playing the Lohengrin "Bridal Chorus." The bide wore a silk mull, cut en train, over white taffeta, with an overdress of real Hama lace.
