IN THE DAYS OF I Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histo of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1877 Have you seen the Christmas goods Messrs. D. & G. D. Plato have just unpacked? They are perfectly sumptuous. Mendelson & Company have a fine assortment of Christmas gifts. The show window presents a gay appearance. The stores have been thronged the last few days. We think that next Tuesday will be a merrier Christmas than any we have seen for some years. There will be a public Christmas tree at the Presbyterian church on Monday evening. Presents may be handed in to the ladies in charge up to 6 o'clock p.m. Cahen & Willard yesterday received another consignment of toys and fancy goods, which they will put upon their shelves today. They invite the public to call and inspect the new lot. The admiring throngs at Goodman & Rimpau's store is evidence that their holiday stock is something unusually beautiful. Every table and every purse can be gratified at this store. The farmers from the country report that the grass is growing finely and that there is no fear that we shall not have good crops.

The farmers from the country report that the grass is growing finely and that there is no fear that we shall not have good crops. On Wednesday, Assemblyman Ellis introduced an act to legalize the incorporation of the town of Anaheim. It was referred to the committee on corporations. The petition to the legislature for a new town charter is now at the office of Justice Bailey, awaiting the signatures of the people. As this measure is highly necessary, our citizens should attend to it at once. There will be lots of fun and turkeys for the boys tonight at the Sample saloon. Several of these beautiful birds will be raffled, and on Christmas eve a number of boxes of apples, a valuable gold watch, and a fine guitar will be raffled for. Messrs. Granet and Wenger will set a superb lunch, to the consumption of which they invite the public generally. The Bank of Anaheim will be closed on Christmas day. Beebe's store is crowded from morning until night. If your friend likes to smoke, why not make him a present of a box of fine cigars from Frank Ey's cigar and tobacco establishment? The sheriff of Lincoln county, Nevada, writes that one, Icaac McManus, a former somewhat notorious resident of Gospel Swamp, is in jail at Pioche and will soon be tried for murder. He also gives the cheering information that the probabilities are that he will swing. A Sunday school has lately been started in connection with St. Michael's church, and it promises to meet with much success. It is held in the afternoon, beginning at 3 o'clock. At 3:30 o'clock a short service is held, and at its close an address is given by the pastor, or the children are catechised by him. We understand that it is desired that not only the children, but their friends and the public generally should take part in this service. The children remain afterwards and practice singing. The Anaheim Literary Society met at the office of Judge Alex Bailey on Thursday evening. The attendance was not large. The president, Mr. Fred Rimpau, delivered his inaugural address, which was received with great applause. Mr. Austin declaimed a piece called "The Nantucket Skipper." A committee consisting of Mrs. P. C. McKinnie, Messrs. Fuller and Wolfe were chosen to decide upon the merits of the debate, which was: "Resolved, That the quantity of land held by one person should be limited by law to 1000 acres." The subject was ably handled by Messrs. Stephenson, Payne, and Mendelson in the affirmative, and Messrs. Guinn, Montgomery, and Athearn in the negative. The committee decided in favor of the affirmative. A program committee, consisting of Messrs. Leonard, Beebe, and Guinn, was elected, who chose as the subject of the next debate: "Resolved, That the silver dollar of 412½ grains should be made legal tender for Misses Sophie in Los Angeles health.

The next meeting will be held at the office of Judge Bailey, on December 27, at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. W. W. Edwards and Miss Lavina Williams were married in Westminster, on Tuesday, at the residence of Rev. J. A. Van Anda. The ceremony was very private. The young couple went at once to their new home on the Raine ranch, near this city, carrying with them the best wishes of their many friends. The schooner Jessie Thelan made the quickest trip under sail from Anaheim Landing to San Francisco that we have heard of. She left the Landing with a load of corn, after dark on Friday evening, the fourteenth, and reached San Francisco on Monday afternoon, the seventeenth, which is almost equal to steamer time. Westminster Items—At last the rain has come. On Friday and Saturday we had 3.10 inches, and on Monday 1.20, making with our October rains a total of over four and seven-eighths inches for the season. One strange phase of humanity shows itself. The same men who a few days before the rain predicted a drouth and were sadly grumbling thereat, now growl because there was so much rain they can not plow. Verily, the clerk of the weather receives more cussing than a newspaper correspondent. Speaking of rain, one of the hobbies different residents of your town have been riding for the past five or six years has been "Westminster mud," until it has become a part of the diet we expect our Anaheim friends to set before us. We have had some ugly mud holes here, that were a disgrace to any community, we will admit, and we really thought that for nasty mud Westminster stood at the head. But our glory has departed, and they who would find real mud (far worse than any of ours) should visit Anaheim, paddle along Center street; stop in front of Look & Leonard's, Goodman and Rimpau's, and William R. Olden's, and they will find what they are looking for. What a pleasing tribute to town government! By all means, let us incorporate at once. Henry Doe Dents of Place moon, in the o Willson. L. W.

S. Seale, on Tuesday afternoon, at 3:30 p'clock, Oscar Renner was united in wedlock to Miss Fannie Seale. Rev. Snyder of the Presbyterian church performed the ceremony. After the happy couple were made one, congratulations were tendered by all. A delightful wedding supper was served, and later the bride and groom departed for a honeymoon trip to Los Angeles and Mount Lowe. They will return in a few days and make their home in this city. We join the many friends of the happy couple in extending the felicitations of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Rimpau and their two daughters, Misses Sophie and Marie, contemplate taking up their residence in Los Angeles for a season for the benefit of Mrs. Rimpau's health. Mr. and Mrs. Rimpau are among Anaheim's earliest pioneers and number their friends on all sides. We hope that Mrs. Rimpau will soon regain her health. Father Dubble on Sunday performed the ceremony of blessing the bells to be used in the new Catholic church. The bells arrived on Friday and were a gift from F. Ganahl of St. Louis, formerly a resident of this city. The bells were named during the ceremony, in conformity to the usual practice. The first, which is the largest of the trio, weighing 900 pounds, was named St. Boniface after whom the parish is named. The second, weigh- Misses Sophie and Marie, contemplate taking up their residence in Los Angeles for a season for the benefit of Mrs. Rimpau's health.

Father Dubble on Sunday performed the ceremony of blessing the bells to be used in the new Catholic church. The bells arrived on Friday and were a gift from F. Ganahl of St. Louis, formerly a resident of this city. The bells were named during the ceremony, in conformity to the usual practice. The first, which is the largest of the tric, weighing 900 pounds, was named St. Bonitace, after whom the parish is named. The second, weighing 500 pounds, was named St. Joseph. The third bell, which is he one at present in use in the old church, was named Ave Maria. The bells were blessed as they reposed upon the floor of the new church. A large congregation was present to witness the ceremony. Baseball—A nine composed of members of the Loara and town nines defeated a warm aggregation of ballplayers from Orange on Sunday afternoon by a score of 24 to 6. Dickel pitched for the locals, and had the visitors completely at his mercy, striking out the first four men up. At Loara, the Orangethorpe nine defeated Olive, 13 to 9. Miss Amelia Martin, a well-known and popular young lady of this city, was united in matrimony to Henry Allgeyer of El Monte, at the residence of the bride's parents, on Thursday. Rev. Kogler of Orange was the officiating clergyman. Carl Martin was best man, and Miss Clara Conrad bridgesmaid. The happy couple departed immediately for their home in El Monte. The firm of Harris & Falkenstein will be known, after the first of the year, as Asher & Falkenstein. Mr. Asher, the new member of this old established and popular firm, has long been connected with the establishment, and is known as one of the finest business men in Southern California. Early in the new year the firm will occupy its new quarters in the brick block now going up on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. It will open with one of the finest stocks of goods ever seen in this city. Success to the new firm. Emil Dreyfus, son of the late Ben Dreyfus, formerly one of the leading citizens of this section, was in town on Tuesday. He is in the building trades in San Francisco and enjoys a large and lucrative business. He says Anaheim shows more ginger than at any time in years past. C. F. Grim and family have moved from Santa Ana to this city to reside. Mr. Grim is agent for the Griffith Lumber Company, and will probably erect a commodious residence in the spring. At present he and his family are occupying a cottage on South Los Angeles street. Henry Douglas Scott and Miss Juliet Eleanor Basten, residents of Placentia, were married at Santa Ana, Tuesday afternoon, in the office of the county clerk, by Justice of the Peace Willson. L. W. Kirby of Peralta has purchased residence property in Los Angeles and will remove thither with his family to reside in the near future. His daughter, Miss Beulah, is attending school in that city. Wellborn Wallop is home from Berkeley to spend the Christmas day. Of more than 30 cities in the report, only one fails to show a substantial growth over the last year. The population of San Francisco for December 1, according to the bulletin, is 756,000; Oakland shows 286,000; San Diego, 146,000; Long Beach, 116,000, and Pasadena, 94,600. Other leading cities of the state show populations as follows: Alameda, 36,500; Albambra, 29,400; Bakersfield, 28,000; Berkeley, 69,700; Huntington Park, 20,400; Pomona, 17,300; Redlands, 14,-300; Riverside, 32,800; Sacramento, 87,-200; San Bernardino, 41,000; San Jose, 62,800; Santa Ana, 26,000; Santa Barbara, 37,700; Santa Monica, 32,800. "While zealous and loyal citizens of some communities may be inclined to differ with my figures," said Dr. Titus. "they are computed absolutely without blags and with no motive except to present the most accurate estimate it is possible to obtain. Experience and persistent checking have proved this method to be a reliable means of approximating population, according to assurances I have had from those called upon to make use of them in business and government." IRVINE AND PLACENTIA LEAD IN TICKET SALES Irvine and Placentia lead in the race to dispose of their respective quota of tickets for the Portland Beavers' training season games to be played at the fair grounds during February and March. This report was sent out from headquarters this morning by Jay Hunt, who is in charge of the campaign to sell 1000 books of ten tickets each to underwrite the Portland games. The ticket sale in Santa Ana, Tustin, Laguna Beach, and Orange is going over in great shape, and it is estimated that by the time all of the first report blanks are in that fully 50 per cent of the books will be sold. Demand for the advance sale of tickets is actuated by the fact that Ernie Johnson, manager of the Portland Beavers, has announced that in all probability the price of general admission will be 75 cents, and to the big games, such as the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the admission will likely be $1. The tickets now being sold admit the holder to the best seats in the grandstand. The only seats-for which an additional charge will be made are the boxes of which there are only a limited number. Endorsements from various civic organizations throughout the county on the plan to bring the Portland Club here are being received daily with many comments on the value of advertising the county and the promotion of sports a general. The big baseball magnates will begin to make their appearance during the early part of February. Henry Douglas Scott and Miss Juliet Eleanor Basten, residents of Placentia, were married at Santa Ana, Tuesday afternoon, in the office of the county clerk, by Justice of the Peace Willson. L. W. Kirby of Peralta has purchased residence property in Los Angeles and will remove thither with his family to reside in the near future. His daughter, Miss Beulah, is attending school in that city. Wellborn Wallop is home from Berkeley to spend the Christmas holidays. Carl Zeus and Bowman Merritt are expected home the latter part of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Burmeister spent Sunday with relatives of the latter in Los Angeles. It was the first anniversary of their wedding. A team of bowlers from this city, consisting of Fitzmier, Backs, Paschall, Jones, and Warling, drove over to Santa Ana in the pouring rain on Tuesday evening to play a match game with a team from Santa Ana composed of Works, Hole Johnson, Tubbs, and Walker. The Santa Ana boys won the match. A committee of the grand jury, consisting of A. J. Visel, Fred Rohrs, W. W. Buck, and A. Barrows, looked over the books in the city clerk's and marshal's offices on Tuesday. It found the books and accounts all right and complimented Clerk Merritt and Marshal Steadman on the excellence of their system of book-keeping. A committee of the grand jury looked over the Central schoolhouse grounds yesterday. They will probably recommend that the big trees be taken out so that more light may be had for the primary room. Seventy-five hundredths of an inch of rain fell during the storm of last week. The rain continued at intervals during Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Total for the season, 2.64 inches. Last year to date, 1.68. Rain began falling again on Tuesday, continuing yesterday at intervals. Indications are promising for a good downpour during the night.
