Dated at San Francisco, in the District aforesaid, September 14, 1860 P.L. Solomon, U.S. Marshal WOODSIDE. - The members of that excellent institution, Mountain Dell Division, Sons of Temperance, are displaying considerable energy in their efforts towards the erection of a new Hall, at Woodside. It is to be built on the opposite side of the road from the present one, upon ground now under lease to Mr. James Gibbs, who has generously given to the Division his right to the ground, which will be finally presented to them by Captain John Greet. The building will be in dimensions, 24 x 36 feet, and the building committee, Messrs. A. Teague, J.W. Turner, D.W. Sampson, L. Williams, and J. Gibbs are actively engaged in the preliminaries for its erection. The Division, we are glad to hear, is in a flourishing condition, and extending its usefulness. The Library Association, since the loss by death of its worthy President, Mr. D. Jagger, who was its main pillar, as well as its originator, have become somewhat clouded, but we hope to see the library continued in its usefulness through the well-known literary tendency of its members. Its influence on the society at Woodside has had a marked effect, and it should by all means be maintained. Capt. Greer is preparing to erect a building for use as a store, nearly opposite his residence. Already several applications have been made for it by persons wishing to establish a store in that vicinity. Frank Gilbert has torn down his well known shingle-mill and is now putting up a new one in connection with a good saw-mill. The building for this double purpose was raised Thursday of last week. The old one was but a temporary structure. The new mill will prove a great convenience to many in that neighborhood, as well as to people west of the mountain, and also afford a lucrative business, we hope, to its energetic proprietor. The readers of the GAZETTE at Searsville complain that their papers sometimes do not reach them. They are sent regularly from the postoffice here, and we cannot imagine what the cause is. We hope that it will be seen to by the postmasters at Woodside and Searsville, that no injustice be done our subscribers. OUR TOWN J.V. Diller, Esq., proprietor of that beautiful piece of ground known as "the Island," adjoining the town has sunk on it a fine well of the same dimensions and description, which makes the ninth artesian in this place. "The Island" is a charming location, situated at the junction of the two main branches of Redwood Creek, in full view from the two county roads. The miniature bays formed by the __indings of the creek, the orchard-like prospect given to the grounds by the oaks, which are shady evergreens, and the pretty appearance of "the Island" render it a property to be proud of, as we believe its respect proprietor is. There are many things that may be said in favor of Redwood City and its environs - we have a climate unsurpassed for salubrity at all seasons, and but a little time will elapse until its inhabitants will be counted by thousands.
