The Boys their regular full board public hitch street in rags The Republican County Central committee has ordered primaries to be held at the various precincts in the county on April 3rd between the hours of 12 M. and 6 P. M. The purpose of the primaries is to elect delegates to a county convention to be held in Los Angeles on April 10th which convention will elect delegates to a state convention to be held at Sacramento on April 29th. The polling places, officers and apportionment of the precincts in the southern portion of the county are here given: Anaheim at Planters hotel; J. M. Guinn, judge; one delegate. Garden Grove, at Howe's store; Con Home, judge; one delegate. Orange at J. W. Anderson's; J. W. Anderson, judge; three delegates. Silverado, at the store. A. Mills, judge; one delegate.

The Juvenile Pinafore Troupe, pleased with the reception accorded them here last week, performed again at Kroeger's hall last night giving "Trial by Jury" in addition to Pinafore. The troupe performs at Santa Ana this afternoon and evening and our neighbors should embrace the opportunity of hearing the famous operetta performed by these precious children. Whenever the public sees Charles C. Bacon announced as manager of any troupe or organization they can rest assured that the performance will be meritorious. He is never allied to any of the little catchpenny affairs which periodically afflict rural communities. A decree of divorce was returned this morning by order of Judge Howard in the suit of Stella Carpenter against Ira Carpenter. The children being awarded to the mother. The defendant made no effort to prevent the result. The alleged cause is cruelty, but the circumstances prove incompatibility. The parties were second cousins. They were married in New York six or eight years ago, were divorced in Los Angeles in the early part of 1877, were married again June 11, 1878 and a second action for divorce commenced in November 1879. Mr. Carpenter has been peculiarly unfortunate in his marital relations having been divorced from his first wife, a lady still living. Mr. J. E. Preston, of Westminster, whose occupation requires him to pass over a great stretch of country weekly, says that in no part of the country are the crops so far advanced as in the immediate vicinity of Anaheim. Whatever the cause may be, it is undeniable that the frosts are less severe here than in other localities and the temperature in the winter months is higher than in other parts of the county.

Stengel of the Exotic Gardens, Los Angeles, tells us that Arizonaans have suddenly acquired a passion for the beautiful and are making heavy requisitions upon him for flower plants and shrubbery. Since the opening of the present season he has forwarded thousands upon thousands of rose bushes, geraniums, and other flower plants to Tucson, Phoenix and other points in the territory, and the demand for choice flowers continues unabated. The average Arizonaan needs civilizing and no more effective way of injecting refinement into him could be devised than by making the desert to blossom as (with) the rose. Mr. Olden has received a letter from Hattie A. Frame, of Melbourne, Dallas County, Iowa, asking for the whereabouts of George H. Frame, who when last heard from was a beekeeper in Aliso canyon.
