CITY AND SUBURBS.


"WALK IN, SIR. u-Business is get
ting better with the police. There
were four arrests during the past few
days.
AND STILL ANoTHER.-C. G. Lips
has bought very fine homestead on
Main street, upon which he intends to
build soon. The purchase was made
OF VIM. Pridham, agent of Wells,
Fargo e. Co.'S Express.
ONE MORE. - Mr.. Longworth, q
wealthy gentleman from New York
has purchased thirty-five acres of land
near the race-track from Mr.. Ayers
for seven thousand dollars, upon which
he designs building residence.
LET THERE BE LIGHTu The
lighthouse at the entrance to the
harbor at Wilmington is now being
rapidly erected. This is something OF
which we have long been in need and
the Government did wise thing
when they ordered its erection.
"JEEMs Pipes OF PIPEsvILLE.n-
Stephen Massett is drawing crowded
houses in San Diego, and we under
stand, expects to arrive here on Satar-
day. He read u sermon on Sunday
last for the benefit of the Unitarian
Society of tat city, which is highhly
commended by the press.
PANAMA, Hottie P. NJ. S. S. Co. Is
steamer Mohongo will stop at Will
mington on her way to Panama on
the 23d of this month. This is good
card for our city, and will, if fully car
ried out with all the company's steam
ers, be of great benefit to the whole of
our southern country.
COMMIssIoNED.-A. G.. RuXton of
this city has just received his commits
sion as Deputy Mineral Surveyor from
the U. S. Surveyor-General. No bet
ter person could have been appointed
to the place, and we are sure it will
prove satisfactory to all concerned in
mineral claims.
DEAD.-The name San Pedro is no
more. An act passed by Congress has
changed the name of San Pedro har-
Dor to Wilmington harbor. We well
come the cold friend with its new
foce," and hope that the water over
the bar may ever grow deeper as the
name grows older.
PERsoNAL-General Banning paid
us visit yesterday, his face all BEAM
ing with joy at the change made in
the name of our harbor. The General
is as jovial and warm-hearted as he
always has been; and to judge by his
appearance, seems to be growing
younger every day of his life.
THE TIP-ToP OF FASHION. Our
County Treasurer, Thos. Rowan, has a
very fine gentleman's umbrella intend
ed for a sun-shade and made some
thing after the modern style of la
dies parasol, with chain attachment
and the ct ceteras. 1t is an elegant
little affair, and comes as q present
from Messrs. B. j. Burr e. Co.
WELL PLEAsED.-Mr. Garrett, the
general agent for the Mercantile
Agency, is in our city looking after the
affairs of his company. He expresses
himself well pleased with the climate
and prospects of Los Angeles, and
takes with him as a relic a fine cane of
orange wood elegantly mounted, which
was cut from Mr.. Norris place on
Main street.
SAD SIGHT.-A very sad spectacle
was to be seen on Spring street yester-
day morning. Two young women
were so intoxicated that they had to
be taken out of the buggy in which
they were driving recklessly, and
locked up in the station house. 1t
was very sad sight to see two such
young persons in their deplorable con-
dition, and We hope never to have the
scene repeated on any of the streets of
our beautiful city.
STILL MovING.-The new wharf at
Wilmington is progressing nicely I'M
der the efficient superintendent of
Norman G. Jones, and it will not be
long until the whole thing will be
completed and ready for use. AS yet
only the roadway is being built, but
lumber is on the way out of which the
wharf and warehouse will be con-
structed. Keep it moving, for the
more wharves we have at our harbor
the more we will need.
"THEY CoME."-At the meeting of
the Common Council yesterday after
noon a petition was presented signed
by thirty persons asking that the
signers be incorporated as regular
fire company in this city and that they
be given the engine now in possession
of the city. They promise to be fully
organized within twenty days, and
the Council have to grant their petit
ton when they have done so. We
welcome the new company most
heartily.
The Poor INDIAN LO.-For some
time past there has been poor crazed
Indian existing upon our streets in the
very depths of squalor and wretched-
ness. He has been arrested and held
in Jail until the Sheriff has refused to
retain him there longer. And now our
City Fathers propose to take the case
in hand and send him away from the
city, perhaps to the hospitable shades
of the Poor-house. There is one In
dian almost reclaimed for certainty.
