Anahein Items.

From the Gazette Of yesterday we
gather the following interesting items
from that flourishing settlement,
The water saturated soil is still assert
ing itself. The water level has risen
twenty-three feet since the rains and is
steadily rising.
A lively interest Is awakened III OF
circles, caused by the developments at
the wells near Anaheim. During the
week several prominent oil operators
have visited the Chandler and the Snow
wells.
The rainfall on w ednesday and Thurs
day, by Mr.. Il. $. Saxton's gauge was
one and iive-sixteenths inches. Total
for the season 26 TIC inches. BY Mr..
Langenbergers gauge only forty eight
hundredth was recorded, making the
total for the season 2l.Sl inches.
Water is now being sold and fur,
nished to stockholders in the Anaheim
Union Water Company at the rate OF 25
cents per hour for 100 inches during the
day aud half that rate ut night--a day
being construed to begin at A. NJ. and
close at SP. NJ. Fifty, one hundred or
two hundred inches Of water are sold at
the option of the purchaser, who is re-
quired to state at the time of purchase
what amount of water he desires.
One of tho largest s,les of real estate
this season was consummated this week
by John Hanna, to a San Francisco
syndicate of which IL A. Kelly is at the
head. The land comprises 6lS acres
known as the Dicken rancho. 1t IN well
adapted to vines and all varieties OF
fruit, has two artesiaa wells and was
sold for $50 per acre.
Messrs B. Dreyfus 4 Co., of Anaheim
and San Francisco, have purchased of G..
Groezinger, of Yountville, Cal, 10000
gallons Of dry wine on private terms.
This wine is to be shipped Fast Orders
ARE now in the State and untitled for
800, 900 gallons of similar wine. The
demand for new brandy is very light,
while that for mature wine is in excess
of the supply.

Strange Attitudes In Death

Prof. C. f. Brown-Sequard writes
that at the battle of Williamsburg a
United States Zouave was shot directly
through the forehead as he was climbing
over low fence, and his body was found
in the last attitude in life-one leg half
over the fence, the body crouching back.
wards. One hand, partially clenched
and raised to the level of the forehead,
presented the palm forward as if to ward
off an approaching evil. A brakeman Of
q freight car on the Nashville and Chat.
tanooga railroad was instantaneously
killed by shot between the eyes, fired
by guerrilla The murdered man was
sclewing down the brakes at the mo-
ment of the shot. After death the body
remained fixed, the arms rigidly extend
ed on the wheel of the brake. The pipe
which he had been smoking remained
still clasped between his teeth. The
conservation Of the last attitude can
take place i'm other circumsta than
sudden deaths from wounds to the brain,
the heart, or the lungs, although an liz
jury to vital organ is tn Q most frequent
cause OF that phenomenon. A detail Of
United States soldiers, foraging near
Goldsboro, North Carolina. came sud-
denly upon party Of Southern cavalry
dismounted. The latter Immediately
sprang to their saddles, and, after vol
ley had been fired at them, they all but
one rode away. That one wns LETT
standing with one foot in the stirrup,
one hand, the left, grasping the bride
rein and name OF his horse, the right
hand elinching the barrel Of his carbinc
near the muzzle, this barrel of the car
bine resting on the ground. The mans
head was turned over his right shoulder,
apparently watching the approach of tie
attacking party. He was called upon TO
surrender, without response, and upon
near approach and examination he was
found to be rigid in death, in the singu-
lar attitude above described. Great
difficulty was experienced in forcing the
name of the horse from his lett hand and
the carbine from his right. On the
battlefield of Beaumont, near Sedan, in
1870, the dead body of soldier was
found half sitting, half lying on the
ground, delicately holding tin goblet
between his thumb and foreinger and
directing it toward an absent mouth.
While in that position the poor man had
been killed by a cannon ball, which had
carried away the whole of his head and
face except the lower jaw. The body
and arms had been suddenly seized at
the time of death by q stiffness which
produced the persistence OF the state in
which they were when the head was cut
of. Twenty-four hours had elapsed
since the battle.

Last Days OF the Camp Meeting.

As the camp meeting draws near it's
close there is an increase both in the in
terest and the attendance. The meet
ings yesterday were mainly for the pur-
pose OF strengthening the zeal of those
who profess the peculiar faith of the
Seventh.day Adventists. Appeals were
made from the standpoint of the Lords
soon coming to the earth, that they
should be self-sacrificing, and willing to
give both themselves and their means to
the cause. Mrs. White preached in the
afternoon on the subject of the law,
claiming that large portion of the
Christian world have rejected the law
of God, especially the fouith Com
mandment, and that those who will
serve the Lord must be peculiar; that
the law of the land will eventually be
arrayed against those who keep all the
Commandments, but that laws of men
should not be allowed to turn any aside
from obedience to the laws of God. At
the close of her discourse, she made an
earnest appeal to the unconverted, when
about twenty came forward for prayers.
There was no unseemly demonstration,
as the people deprecale anything like
noisy excitement, urging people to move
from reason and not from feeling.
In the evening the subject OF the Sab
bath was continued, the points made be-
ing that the Lord has day in this dis
pensation, that this day is the seventh
day of tho week, the same as of old,
that it is binding upon all classes of
men, and that the observance OF the
first day of the week has no divine sane.
tion. The propositions stated were all
upheld by Scripture testimony.

there will be preaching at 1870 by Elder
