Slight showers of rain fell here during the latter part of last week sufficient to lay the dust, but not heavy enough to damage to outstanding crops Monday and on Tuesday we had indications of a visit from a Santa Ana.

His old friends are delighted to see our old-time townsman again. Come again Mr. Fischer. Political matters at Miraflores are about as evenly divided as can possibly be. Miraflores will one day be an important railway center, and have a large number of electors. At present, however, there are but two voters. Each one is satisfied to kill the vote of the other. So Mr. Polhemus will vote for Harrison and Mr. Danforth for Cleveland. The season for game is upon us. Duck, snipe and plover are bagged in large quantities at Newport and the Landing. Wm.

One of the severest earthquakes ever experienced in this region startled the slumbering citizens of Anaheim at 1:30 o'clock Monday morning and there were few who slept so soundly that they were not awakened by it. The shock was not severe enough to cause any damage aside from the alarm engendered in the hearts of the nervously inclined who thought it might be a preliminary warning of something serious to follow. Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the Ladies' Euchre club at her o'clock. J. A. Whitaker of Buena Park has the editor's thanks for samples of eastern newspapers filled with matter of peculiar interest. J. J. Hopper, lately of the Landing, has accepted a position at the Planters hotel, where his many friends will be glad to see him.

This mission recently celebrated its anniversary marking over a century and a half of service. It is saluted here by a modern streamlined representative of the present day, the Greyhound Super-Coach.
