Our Justices Courts are extremely
quiet. No business of any importance

several days.
The number of passengers by the
Orizaba day before yesterday was I'M
usually large, many not being able to
procure staterooms at any price.
A great number of the people of An
aheim were in this city yesterday to
act as witnesses in the divorce suit of
Mrs. NJ. E. Cramer VS.. Daniel Cramer.
Sheriff Rowland left for San Fran
cisco day before yesterday, and took
with him four prisoners. Three OF the
prisoners were for San Quentin and
one for Stockton.
There is a nuisance in front of the
city offices on Spring street, in the
shape of discharge drain which
empties into the gutter, creating
"two-and-seventy stenehes." Why is
this thus, o conscript fathers?
They are going to have a regular
feast at the Palace saloon to-day, the

everybody will be invited to dish in.

He calculates that he has not yet gone

There will be German dramatic
performance at Turn Verein Hall Sun
day night. Two favorite pieces are
announced, which will bring out the
best talents of the dramatic section of
the Germanias, to be followed by the
usual very enjoyable ball.
C. H. Bradley looked unusually
smiling and pleasant yesterday after
noon, just as though he had met with
some extraordinary good fortune. He
told us the new conner is little girl,
and just about as hearty one as could
be asked for at one day old.
We are informed that there is quite
an amount of gambling going on in
several of the "quiet' saloons in this
city, and that there is an ordinance
against such employment. If this be
the case, it would be well for our Po-
lice to examine into the matter.
A row occurred in beer saloon on
Main street last night. Some liberal
hearted individual treated "all hands
round" and then refused to pay for
the drinks, whereupon the bartender
proceeded to demolish the liberal gen.
tleman's countenance and kick him
out. Both parties were arrested; the
bartender gave bail for his appear
ance in court and the liberal gentle
man slept in quod.
At the ladies' temperance meeting
held yesterday afternoon, the question
of total abstinence pledge was taken
up and discussed at some length. On
motion, the pledge was adopted, and
several ladies were appointed to circu-
late it about the city. Another meet
ing will be held at Good Templar's
Hall on Wednesday next at P. NJ,
when time will be appointed for
general prayer meeting.
AS may be seen by reference to our
advertising columns, a farewell testi-
monial will be rendered by the citi-
zens of this city to Samuel w. Piercy
on Monday evening next at the Turn
ers' Hall. Mr.. Piercys popularity
here will no doubt give him very full
house, and his we'll known ability will
make the entertainment well worth
attending. Reserved seats may be
had at Brodrick's bookstore.
Mr.. Quinn of Ell Monte says that
able for the passage of the bill allowing
this county to take immediate action
in turning the San Gabriel river into
its old channel. 1t is to be hoped that
the citizens of Ell Monte will succeed
in getting all they want, as the dam
age which has been done by the over
flow of the river is very great, andff
not attended to will doubtless be even
greater next year.
The Common Council passed the
new ordinance compelling travelling
agents and persons selling by sample
to pay license Of fifteen dollars per
month. These canvassers have for a
long time past been flocking here from
all parts of the country, and while
paying no tax of any kind to benefit
our city have been greatly injuring
the trade of our business men, who do
pay taxes. Those who live here and
help to improve our city should be
encouraged over those who do us no
good.
We regret very much the action of
the Common Council in revoking their
resolution as to the purchase of horses
to be used on the fire engine. The
horses that are supposed to be used at
present for that purpose are worked in
the. city carts all day, and then at
night, tired as they are, have to sleep
with all their harness on for fear they
might be needed to pull the engine to
some fire that may occur. This is alb
solute cruelty; and the only way to
prevent it is to purchase more horses
for the engine. Let us have them, by
