SKETCH OF THE THEATER.

The F!fth Avenue Theater was erected iii
1861 by Amos H. Emo and leased IN Robert Gslaher
as AN evening stock exchange. 1t intended TO ac.

corridors OF the Filth Avenue Hotel The new enter

OF It's proprietor when the stock Exchange passed

business in tho Evening EIchangeafter the adoption OF
the resolution should forfeit their seats In the
stock Exchange This az once crushed the enterprise,
nor was any attempt lmade to revive it. Some time
afterward the building leased to George Chrsty fcf

was succeeded by Kelly * Icons Ainstreis. An en-
counter front OF the theater between the senior part

rival company ending with Kelys shooting his oppon

100000.

furnished; and the whole auditorium was decorated

+. CALIFORNIA AS A GRANERY.-Cah-
fOrnia gives promise of looming up
into new prominence as one of the
greatest of grain-producing countries.
And just now, when Russia and the
United States are looked to by Eng
land and France to make up a def
cheney of 150,0OO,0O0 bushels, Califor-
MIA comes up smiling with her fair
share of the needed grain. During the
three month ending September 3Oth,
there left the Golden Gate 1876 vessels.
carrying SO, 600 tons, or nearly 3, O0O, 600
bushels, and thus far this year such
shipments from California have aggre-
gated 225, 900 tons, or some 8,3OOV00
bushels. At least one-third more has
been shipped during the year than for
the corresponding period of last year.
The seasons crop has been good one,
and although the yield has been some
what below that of 1872, the cash
value Of the crop, at the advanced pri-
ces of the year, has been greater than
any previous year. This encouraging
state of things has stimulated the far
mers in all the wheat-growing coun-
ties to devote more land to wheat,
and it is already evident that the COM
ing year will show an increase of
thousands of acres in the acreage sown
to wheat. As in almost everything
else she produces, California may
justly boast of her wheat as worlds
marvel, both in quantity and quality,
and her development in this direction
is likely to inure more to the worlds
benfit than has the gold which has
been snatched from hes bosom.-fNew
York Mail.

necessary regulations, such regulations

that matter from time immemorial,
and we never hear of any difficulty.

SHEEP KILLED. The Marysville
Appeal, of December 9th, says: A
large number of sheep have died since
the storm oflast Wednesday, and more
will die because of the wet and cold
weather. We hear that the sheep
raisers in Butte county have suffered
large losses. In this county the herd
ers have not been heard from except
in a few instances. Thomas +. KIM
ball, who has two fiocks of 200 each,
one in this county and the other in
Sutter, had lost but about twenty head
up to Saturday, but was expecting to
lose heavily if the cold rainy weather
continued. There are many fOcks Of
sheep in Colusa county grazing along
the foothills of the Coast range, where
they cannot be fed, and where great
fatality may be expected to occur.
Kimball is Of the opinion that the loss
by the storm will be equal to half Of
the natural increase for the season.
He is feeding his fi0cks. beside 100

The pInsrenes.

Just now our Eastern friends are
wrestling with the problem Of how to
provide for their poor. A terrible
financial revulsion has swept over the
country, crippling the energies Of the
strongest, and bringing untold misery
to the poor and week. To add to the
distress the bowling storm Of North
ern winter are upon them, bringing in
their dismal train, the added horrors
of a rigorous climate. In New York,
the working-men have met inconven-
tion, and resolved that they will sup
ply their families with the necessities
of life, and send the bills to the City
Treasury for liquidation. There are
1900 skilled workmen out of employ
ment in the State of New York, and
1900 persons apply for lodgings at the
City Station house, weekly. Through
out the East, and even in the pros
porous interior States, the same story
Of Thousands out Of employment, Of
increased suffering and destitution, ls
found In every newspaper. W
Here Is Southern California; let us
thank our splendid climate and gener-
Gus soil that there can be little actual
want or suffering. There is work for
everybody. Our soil, with its rich
and varied products, Is capable Of sus-
tanning teeming population, and we
have no cold and biting winter to add
to the expense ofliving. The necessa-
ries of life are plentiful and cheap;
our population can live out Of doors
the coolest day In the year; ice and
snow are unknown, aud labor is we'll

The stock books of the Street Rail-
road Company are now open at Temple
& Workman's Bank, and quite num-
Der of shares have already been SUBJ
scribed. The Capital Stock is to con-
sist Of 200 shares Of $40 each. Twenty
per cent. Is to be paid in at the time Of
subscribing, and the balance in in
stallments ~ called for by the Direct
ors, until the shares are fully paid up,
after which no stock Is liable to ASSESS
ment, unless by the unanimous con-
sent Of the shareholders. e
The prospects are that the stock will
soon all be- taken, and theconstruction
of the road begun at an early date.
The completion Of the road isa matter
of great importance to the people Of
Los Angeles. Our city Is spread over
a good deal of grouni, and the natural
,iesignof our cltizens In this beautiful
climate to possess large grounds and
gardens, has tendency to scatter
population. This makes 1t essential
that we should at AL times have some
cheap, quick and easy means of COM
munication. Such . means street
railroad will afford. Not only will
such an enterprise prove remuneratiye
to the owners Of the stock, but 1t will
largely increase the value Of outlying
city property, and the holders of real
estate, In easy reach Of the proposed
line, should take the stock At once, ~
there can be no doubt that they will
soon get their money back in the in
creased value of their lands. In all
the Eastern cities, street railroads have
proved to be Immensely profitable
and in many Of them, no larger than
Los Angeles, the stock cannot be
bought at any price. This fact, taken
in connection with the liberal terms
offered by the company, should insure
the subscription Of the necessary
amount In few days.
