The pupils of the public schools will enjoy a vacation for the next two weeks. There are packages in Wells Fargo & Co.'s office for Mrs. R. W. Stevens, J. W. Gwin, Con Howe, M. de los Rayes, J. W. Aldridge, A. Rimpau, J. McCoy and Richard Krebs. L. A. Evans and Miss Louisa J. Kellogg were married on December 12th at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. E. Kellogg west of Anaheim by A. Bailey, Justice of Peace. The many friends of the young people wish them much happiness in their wedded life. At a meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. and A. M. held on Monday evening, the following officers were elected: W. M. McFadden, W. M.; J.J. Guinn, S. W.; M. A. Mendelson, J. W.; M. L. Goodman, Treasurer (re-elected for the seventh term); D. E. Miles, Secretary. The installation ceremonies will take place on St. John's Day, December 24th. A gentleman residing near Los Angeles planted a row of eucalyptus trees around his orchard six years ago, and only irritated them the first season. Last week he cut down fifty of them and grazed his orange trees too much and cut them into thirty yards of wood, worth at wholesale $240. The blue green tree was able to raise for wood even on high priced land. Contracts have been let for eighteen miles of grading from San Diego and the work is to be pushed as speedily as possible. His difficulty appears now to be the scarcity of laborers. Several hundred are advertised for, the pay for laborers being $1 per day and found, and for a man and two horse team $80 per month is A gentleman residing near Los Angeles planted a row of eucalyptus trees around his orchard six years ago, and only irriated them the first season. Last week he cut down fifty of them, then were planting his orange trees too much and cut them into many words of wood, worth at wholesale $240. The blue green tree is liable to raise for wood even on high priced land. Contracts have been let for eighteen miles of grading from San Diego and the work is to be pushed as speedily as possible. The difficulty appears now to be the scarcity of laborers. Several hundred are advertised for, the pay for laborers being $1 per day and found, and for a man and two horse team $80 per month is offered. The naughty but aesthetic editor of the Los Angeles Herald observes:—We would suggest that the proper adjustment of feminine hips is a subject well worthy the attention of our belles. This reflection arises from our observation of a stylish lady, yesterday, who, by some oversight, had suffered the "ballast" so to speak, of her left side to drop at least three inches out of line with her right. Swelling and voluptuous contours are admirable things—when they are properly balanced. The curved line is the line of beauty, undoubtedly, but there should be correspondence in this as in other matters. At a meeting of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday a communication from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company was read asking that a committee of three be appointed to confer with a like committee of that company in regard to entering suit against the Riverside Land and Irrigating Company to restrain them from appropriating more than their share of the water of the Santa Ana river. Messrs. Dreyfus, Zeyn and Korn were appointed a committee in behalf of the Anaheim Water company and the conference will be held at Anaheim this morning at 10 o'clock. The result of the meeting together with other matters of great importance will be laid before a general meeting of the stock holders of the Anaheim Water company to be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The second social of Anaheim Lodge No. 85 A. O. U. W. was given in the Lodge room on Monday evening. 'The hall was filled and the musical and literary program was much appreciated.

Take it all in all, the market for holiday goods is better supplied than in previous years and there is enough to supply our townspeople as well as our country cousins for miles around home. "What a glorious rain we have had," is the greeting between friends nowadays. And glorious it was! It was one of those warm rains which infuses vigor into vegetation and causes each particular blade of grass to grow with a rapidity which is bewildering. The grass on the plains is even now an inch above ground and the sheep will be in splendid condition in a month or six weeks from now. The reverse will be the case in the northern counties, when the cold rains not only destroy the old feed but prevent the new feed from starting until the sun dispels the clouds and imparts warmth to the soil. The sheep and cattle invariably get poor under such conditions, thus forcing buyers to come to the southern counties to obtain marketable animals. Since our last report 1.91 inches has fallen making the total for the season 3.51 inches. It may be of interest to state that the rainfall between the 19th and 29th of December 1879 was 3 inches. In Los Angeles the rainfall storm was ushered in by a violent shock of earthquake. The storm was general all over the state. Chispa Chapter the following officer: Philip H. Krut Matron; E.

Moeller, west of town to investigate the mysterious poisoning case of which that gentleman was the victim and which came near to resulting fatally. Painter Nemetz has completed two large signboards for the Chamber of Commerce which have been erected at both denots Youth At Home And In School There Are 28,673 In Orange County, says Anna L. Saylor, State Welfare Director A picture of California youth at home and at school—at work and play—in sickness and health—was presented to the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection in Washington this week by Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, director of the state department of social welfare. Made up of 17 reports compiled by 1,200 experts, the Conference gave a composite picture of American youth. The reports estimated, according to Mrs. Saylor, that there were 48,000,000 persons under the age of 18 in the country. Of these, 28,000,000 are in school—the others either being too young or forced to work. In California, Mrs. Saylor reported, there are 1,209,137 minors of these, 28,673 are in Orange county, with 323,-199 in the state not attending school. California is thus placed in a favorable position, compared to the rest of the country, in having as large a percentage of children as possible in school. Mrs. Saylor pointed out that the percentage of minors not attending school in the United States averages more than 40 per cent, while California's total of those not in attendance is less than 30 per cent. "Some interesting facts about the children of our country were presented at the conference," Mrs. Caylor commented. "Remembering that there are 48,000,000 minors in the country, the reports showed that more than 10,000,000 under the age of 13 are church members. A little more than 200,000 of the entire juvenile population get into the courts in a year." "An encouraging report in the Conference showed that 1,500,000 children are especially gifted and should have special training to allow them to make the most of their opportunities. Against Sheriff Lacy was in town on Monday on official business. In company of Constable Llewellyn he drove to the residence of Wm. Moeller, west of town to investigate the mysterious poisoning case of which that gentleman was the victim and which came near to resulting fatally. Painter Nemetz has completed two large signboards for the Chamber of Commerce which have been erected at both depots setting forth the fact to the wayfarer that Anaheim is in the center of a rich fruit-growing section, has abundance of water for irrigation and has a population of 3250. Charles O'Kraffka, a Russian aged 65 years dropped dead of heart disease at his home on Sycamore street on Saturday morning while engaged in kindling the kitchen fire.

The newly wedded couple will leave for the north for a brief honeymoon trip and on their return will be at home to their friends at their Olinda residence. The chile-dryer belonging to Will Mauerhan was destroyed by fire at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. The structure and its contents comprising about two tons of chiles and 250 trays were consumed. Will and Ed Mauerhan were severely burned about the face and hands. About thirty neighbors responded quickly and saved the adjoining pumping plant and other buildings. The loss is placed at $1000. There was no insurance. Miss Marie Horstman visited in Los Angeles one day last week and on her return discovered after leaving the train that her purse containing five dollars in silver was missing. She returned to the depot and notified the agent who telegraphed the conductor at Santa Ana, hoping that official might have found it upon the seat. The latter had seen nothing of it, but the next day the missing purse and its contents was recovered through the kindness of Mrs. F. A. Backs, Sr., who saw the purse lying upon the seat after Miss Horstman had alighted from the car. It was turned over to Mr. Clabaugh who promptly returned it to the owner.
