CENTER, ANAHEIM ANAHEIM MEMORIES 83 Years Ago, January, 1879 Rained Out New Year's eveeding was so atormy that it was thought best to postpone the benefit entertainment at Orange, which the people of that place had tendered to the Baseball club. The entertainment will come off this evening and the "boys" hope and expect that their friends in Anaheim will do them the honor of being present. By the Carload Business at the railroad depot has been remarkably brisk of late, especially in the wine shipments. Eight carloads of wine have been shipped during the week—five consigned to B. Dreyfus and three to L. J. Rose. Since the rains grain is also being sent forward to market. The probabilities of a good season have lessened the prospect of advance in the price of grain, and holders seem disposed to sell even at the prevailing prices.

Click states he lay where he had fallen until half after 4 the following morning. In his rear trouser's pocket he had a $5 bill, which his assailant took. Click has no means of identifying the man, who was not masked, but the night was dark and he was struck before he had time to realize that an attempt was being made to rob him. Scarce as Hen's Teeth Wm. Schumacher went to Newport Beach on Saturday morning to engage in a two-days' hunt for birds. He reports that he has seen overhead birds enough to supply California, but where they go on alighting is more than he has been able to discern. Ducks and geese are scarce in and out of shooting preserves, and William is of the opinion they have found feeding grounds in interior lakes or on the Colorado river. He got nine birds in two days. Precious Cargo Dr. Ellis has been advised by the manager of one of the large London banks of the safe arrival of a cask of Mr. Konig's port wine. The wine was in fine condition and gave great satisfaction. Betrothed The engagement is announced of Johnny Cleveland, formerly of this city, to Miss Alice Wood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wood of San Diego. The wedding will occur early in the new year. Say It with Meat Patrons of the meat markets in town have been regaled with the finest meats, fowl and game. At the Palace Market F. W. Fleischman outdid himself in Christmas decoration. He was ably assisted by Chris Yehrman. At the Center Market F. C. Martin proved that when it comes to decorating he is in it himself, for seldom has a more tasty decoration been seen in the county... At the City Market W. Schumacher had the finest display of meats and fowls he has yet exhibited. People in All Jazzed Up Ernest Ferguson will open his drug store next Monday.
