IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... February 1880 The storm last Saturday and Sunday was a welcome visitation throughout Southern California and entirely changed the aspect of affairs in all the agricultural counties. In the northern part of the state snow took the place of rain and fell in unusual quantities. The heaviest rainfall was in Santa Barbara, where 10 inches fell in forty-eight hours. The fall in Los Angeles was 1.65 inches, making the total for the season 14.37 inches. In Anaheim the fall was 9.5 inches making the season's total 8.21 inches. The rainfall at Mr. E. A. Saxton's place registered 1.25 inches during the storm. Mr. John Fischer having resigned as Assessor and collector of Anaheim school district, an election will be held today at the school house to fill the vacancy. The polls will be open from 8 a.m., till sunset. The person elected today will hold office only until June, at which time his successor will be elected, and also one school trustee. The only candidate so far as we know is Richard Melrose. An offer was made recently to furnish the Episcopal Sunday school in this town with a library valued at fifty dollars, if twenty-five dollars could be raised here. The Rev. A. G. L.

The money has been sent to New York and the books will probably be received in three weeks, when it is proposed to reorganize the Sunday school. Due notice will be given.

Mr. Montgomery has leased the office adjoining Goodman and Rimpau's store where those seeking legal advice will find him except on Tuesdays and Fridays on which days he is at his office in Santa Ana.

Little Willie Lawrence, grandson of Dr. W. H. Hardin, had the misfortune to break his arm one day last week. Edward Scherbert died at his home here on the 28th, aged years.

T., in a recent letter said that barley was worth six cents per pound there and potatoes secedents per pound.

Harry Thistlewaite who been wintering in the mountains above Silverado, has been thawed out in town for a few days p Snow fell to a depth of six inches at his camp and for twelve o'clock the ground was covered with fleece particles.
