The effect of the stores under the

make magnificent display.
Thanks to Aaron Smith for copy
of the Land OWner, splendidly IL
lustrated Chicago paper, and the Off

gone to San Francisco to meet an

$4,000. ..#.=.z##..z 5zs
Luquet & Co. have left two samples

heating process which gives it the fla
vor of age, and destroys fermentation.
Persons interested are invited to call
and taste the samples.
DR.. Terry will open a new drug store,
on or about Monday next, in one of
the new stores under the Lafayette
Hotel. The doctor purposes to carry
a very complete stock, and judging by
the style of the interior arrangements
now being made, will have one Of the
most convenient and attractive busi-
ness establishments in this city.
An old lady and a boy and little girl
were riding along the street, yester-
day, and the boy was driving, when
two Spaniards, racing, came along and
ran into the conveyance, knocked the
old lady and child out and played the
mischief generally. The old lady, who
is the mother of Mrs. Trafford, suffered
little injury. Something severe ought
to be done to such lawless desperadoes.
To NJ. J. Newmark is due almost the
entire credit of obtaining the proper
insertion of the freight lists in the
San Francisco papers. The idea was
his from the first, and to his continu-
Gus and unfiagging exertiOns is the re-
suit of the project mainly due. Mr..
Lord is also deserving of the thanks
of the whole community for his inter-
est in the matter. The Chamber of
Commerce is steadily doing great
things.
The monthly reunions of the Los
Angeles Social Club are soon to be re-
inaugurated. The first ball of the
season will be given on Thanksgiving
Eve, the seth inst. A few tickets will
be disposed of at So SO. The Commit
tee of Arrangements consists Of Sam.
Meyer and p. N. Roth. The club par
ties are always enjoyable, as far "a
good music, good society and pleasant
rooms can make them, and the
Thanksgiving Eve party will doubtless
be a great success. ..5,#e H4.a
There is a capital photograph at La
Yards store of the album presented to
President Thiers by the French resi-
dents of the Pacific coast. The cir
cumstances of the presentation are
already familiar to our readers. The
photograph presents q view of both
sides and the back of the cover of the
album. The edging of the front side
is ornamental gold work, surrounding
twelve different kinds of wood. The
clasp is held by three large diamonds,
while large rubies and gold quartz
stand out boldly in the design. In the
center is the monogram, A. t., sur
rounded by laurel leaves and raised on
rich gold quartz. The monogram
opens, and inside are specimens Of all
the minerals found on the Pacific
coast. On the back is engraved
"Gratitude, 1873" The other side is
the same as the front, except that sill
yer work adorns the edging, and ears
of corn encircle the arms of the State
of California. On the first page of the
inside are dates of all President
Theirs important acts from his pro-
test against the declaration of war on
the 18th of July 1870, up to the oath of
May 1873, when he resigned his trust
into the hands of the Assembly. The
address is signed by 2,20O Frenchmen,
including many Los Angeles citizens.
1t cost 81, ,74l 65, and was entirely the
gift of citizens on this coast. The
photograph may be seen for few days
on application to Mr.. Constant Meyer.
