Centinela Oranges.

A cluster of oranges grown on the
Centinela Rancho is on exhibition at
the office of the Centinela Land Com
pany, No. 8, Temple Block. The. or
anges are free from discoloration and
are very large. A gentleman who
makes the orange the subject of much
attention and study, stated that one
might examine the oranges on every
tree in some of the most extensive
groves in the county, without finding
as large oranges as those grown ON
Centinela. 1t is, however, perilous to
draw general conclusions from single
instances. 1t would, therefore, be
well to visit Centinela and examine
the fruit of all the bearing trees. In
terested parties say that the cluster of
oranges at the office of the Centinela
Land Company is not exceptional, but
is n fair everage specimen. The Cen
tinela Land Company invite all to
visit the rancho and see for them
selves.
While these facts are of great i'm
portance to the Centinela Land Com
pany, they are of greater importance
to the general public. The facts prove
that oranges come to perfection near
the ocean, for Centinela is an ocean-side
rancho. The area of successful orange
culture is proven to be greater than is
generally supposed.
1t is common opinion in California
that new success in orange culture
must bestlOng side, or at fartlest very
near to an existing success. Don
Benito- Wilson maintains that the
ocean girt belt of of Southern Califor-
MIA down to the sand doons, is one of
the natural homes of the orange. He
fortifies his theory by citing the fact
that the best orange growing coun-
tries are border lands of the sea. The
award of full credit TO Don Benito
Wilson as a correct and independe.l 1T
reasoner is readily made, only by
those who know the extent and re-
spectability of theropinions adverse to
those expressed by himself of the
natural capacity for producing or
anges, possessed by broad areas, where
no experiment has been made. The
fine oranges grown on Centinela are o
complete demonstration of the practi-
cahility of growing tirst-clas9 oranges
in Southern California, near the
ocean.

Imported Fowls.


Messrs. Brunk & Bruck have just
received a fine importation of poultry
from the East, which they intend to
add to their fine stock on the Arroyo
Seco. The present lot consists of
Brown Leghorn fowls, Black Cayuga
and Aylesbury ducks and a pair of
Bronze turkeys. The Brown Leghorns
are recognized as the leading variety
in the East, both for profit and pleas
ure. Their gay plumage, lively ap-
pearance, in fact every feature, is at
tractive and pleasant. They mature
very early, are non-setters and the
hardest of all breeds. The Aylesbury
ducks come from England, where they
are preferred to all others for their
size, beauty and edible qualities. They
are of pure white, and present a
pleasing appearance upon u lake or
pond. The Bronze turkeys are but
five months old and are the offspring
of pair that weigh 65 pounds. IN
size and beauty they far exceed the
common variety. When they have
attained their full growth, they, are
the most attractive feature of poultry
ward,

CentineIa Colony.

The Cent:ncla Rancho, situated on
the coast, in a westerlydirection from
Los Angeles and about three miles
distant from the limits of that beauti-
ful city, contains $4,000 acres of good,
arabic valley land, large portion of
which is choice bottom and well
adapted to the cultivation of semi
tropical fruits. Near the highest ele-
walton is a cluster of large springs,
from which flows = stream of crystal
water several feet wide and six or
eight inches deep, which may be-con-
Quoted to almost any, portion of the
rancho. On the adjoining ranches are
strong flowing wells, and it is the
opinion of Governor ADowney, Mr..
Carey and others that artesian water
can be readily secured on a large por-
ton of the land purchased. The sur
veyor is laying out town in central
position and about three miles from q
we'll sheltered bay The Los Angeles
and Pacific Railroad Company has
been incorporated to build a railroad
from the landing, where q wharf will
be built, running through Centinela to
Los Angeles.
There are orange, lemon and lime
trees now loaded with fruit, 5000
orange trees growing in the orchard
1000 three year. old orange trees
growing in the nursery, 1880 Langue-
doc almond trees just coming to bear,
several hundred other fruit trees, and
500, 600 worth of sheep and other per-
sonal property. nHs" T'i'.
The soil is first-rate, water good,
landing convenient, market good and
the land dog cheap-less than, eleven
dollars per acre for good arabic land.
Centinela will sell well under the
hammer. Here is q chance for those
who are looking for homes. Over two
hundred shares have already been
subscribed for, and | presume all the
stock will soon be taken. Persons
anxious to join this colony should lose
noetime in making q personal examine
alton of the property.
These lands will be disposed of by
the auctioneer, as at Lompoc, to the
highest bidder, whether a member of
the association or not. THE purchaser
of HOMESTEAD will pay ten per cent.
Of the purchase money on the day of
sale and ten per cent. semi-annually
thereafter, with interest. at ten per
cent. per annum until the whole pur-
chase price has been paid.
Persons desiring homes on this beau
tiful rancho should secure stock equal
to the value of the land desired, so
that if high prices are obtained, as at
I.om poe, the dividends on their stock
can be applied to their final payments
on their homesteads, and thus reduce
the cost to or, below the original pur-
chase price by the company.

Last Wednesday Judge - was
passing down Spring street on the Jail

tion seemed to be fully riveted on
something ON the opposite side of the
street. 1t was to him as music from
the spheres; but those sweet sounds
proceeded from Decker piano, touch
ed by skillful hands. Now that same
Judge is accustomed to hearing by his
own fireside first-class piano and
none of the many scrub pianos which
are flooding the California market

The Los Angeles stage, coming this
way, yesterday, when at the Santa
Margarita grade, just before reaching
San Luis Rey, was upset. The pas
sengers were uninjured, but one of the
horses was badly hurt and the stage
broken.
We are informed that 1t was not
Otto Meyer who first discovered the
Overend murder, but II. Meyer, a
shepherd, who had been in the employ
of Mr.. Mannasse until within few
weeks. He went to Overend's house
for the purpose Of selling him some
lambs, and found him in front of the
door.
A. G.. Gassen brought to this office
yesterday a sample of washing from a
handful of pulverized quartz taken
from the bottom of shaft in the She
nandoah Mining District. The shaft
Is about eleven feet In depth, and the
ledge is two and half feet wide. The
gold was plainly visible, and if the
shaft continues to yield in like proper
ton there is no doubt that this will
prove very rich mine. Mr. Began,
who is an experienced miner, says the
yield will not vary far from $500 to the
ton. Mr.. Gassen requests us to say
that parties who may visit this min
ing region must not expect to pick up
gold on the surface, but must go to
work and sink shafts, using proper
Judgment in the location of lodges.

The grain crop on the Upper Tulare
is very heavy this year. Forty and
fifty bushels to the acre will be quite
common, and the best will perhaps
make seventy.
J. w. Crowley, Treasurer of the VII
salia Railroad Company, informs us
that there is every prospect of being
able to commence work on the road
within four weeks. The stock now
subscribed is $64, 800, on about $40, 900
of which ten per cent is paid up; and
the balance, with the exception of ten
per cent on $500, can be collected on a
days notice.
The recent warm weather has
brought a portion of the supernatural
ance of snow out of the mountains,
and the streams are high. Kings river
is said to be the highest it has been
since the flood. The st. Johns creek
is quite high, and is discharging a
large volume into Mill creek by back
ing through Sand slough, thus revers-
ing the usual course of the current in
the last named channel.
A fire got under way in the dry grass
on the north side of Mr.. Trips place
on Mussel slough and swept across the
quarter till it reached Gray's grain
field, where it was arrested for want of
fodder. Mr.. Trip lost some sixty
tons of hay. The fire ran at horse
gallop, and little could be done to stay
it's ravages. About seventy men and
several teams with scrapers and plows
were soon at work, but without avail.
In five minutes from its first discovery
dense black clouds of smoke rose high
in the sky and the whole country was
in a state of alarm.

The Entertainment Last NiQht.

A large house greeted Messrs. Neill
and Piercy last night, at MERGED Thea
tire. The performance commenced
with the first act of Hamlet, Mr.. Pier
cy taking the part of Hamlet, and the
Ghost by Mr.. Neill. The scene was
finely brought out, and reflected equal
credit upon each of the participants.
Next came a favorte ballad from Mr..
Ed. Fischer, which was we'll received
and after the encore, succeeded a scene
from Rory O'Moore. Unfortunately,
MI. Matthews, who was announced to
furnish some of his comic songs and
"musical melange," was unable to as
sumo his part of the programme, be-
ing prevented, no doubt, by press of
business. In the scene from Othello,
both actors acquitted themselves fine
ly. The hit of the evening, however,
was in the burlesque, "The Capture of
Vasquez." Piercy, as the BAN
dit chief, was an excellent coun-
terfeit, and his "make up" re-
ceived the endorsement of all who
had seen the veritable Vasquez. Mike
McGinnis was taken off finely with
his collection of the poll-taX, but of
course the farce had no reference to
our collector Mike, really, and truly.
AS foreordained, Vasquez was captur-
ed at last, and that ended the eve
ning's entertainment. Altogether, 1T
was complete success and we con-
graduate our friends Neill and Percy,
over the happy hit which they made.
If they will repeat the programme to-
morrow night, we promise them an
other full house.
