CITY AND SUBURBS.

Only one team left town yesterday
for the interior; it was for San Ber-
nardino.
The city clock stopped yesterday
morning for few hours, but IL is rum
ming on time again now.
There have been no arrests for sew
eral days past, all being as quiet on
the front as could be desired.
Business was very slack at the de-
pot yesterday, there being only one
hundred bars of bullion received for
export.
The members of the Chamber of
Commerce should make special effort
to be present at the semi-monthly
meeting of the Chamber tonight.
The Board of Directors of the Los
Angeles Printing Company met yes
terday afternoon in the Office of Lind
ley & Thompson to transact general
business.
Five carloads of bullion were ship
ped to Wilmington yesterday, to be
sent to San Francisco. This is rather
large shipment for one day.
The number of passengers for San
Francisco yesterday per Constantine
was unusually small. That is the way
it should be; bring many people here,
but take as few as possible away.
The steam boiler of Mr.. Beaudry's
mammoth pump was at the depot yes
terdav. 1t looks as though it could
furnish steam enough to pump the
whole river over the hill.
Eighteen tons of iron for the Spring
Street Railroad arrived at the depot
yesterday. This begins to look like
business, and it won't be long before
the whole thing will be completed and
in full working order.
The addition that is being built to
the U. S. Hotel is progressing finely,
and will soon be we'll under way.
Judging from the popularity of this
hotel, Messmer will soon have to be-
gin another addition.
lathe M. E. Church South will soon
commence the erection of a church on
their lot at the corner of Fort and
Third streets. The situation is of
itself very good one, but it is still
better from the fact that 1t will be on
the line of the new horse railroad and
easy of access.
The Tempeton troupe left us on
Sunday morning last to try their for
tunes in other places. Tonight they
perform at Bakersfield, and will no
doubt astonish the natives of that
place with their wonderful little song
stress, Gay" They certainly are the
best travelling company that ever yet
came to our city.
The new bank building is progress
ing finely, the main part of the struc-
ture being almost entirely finished.
The building when completed will be
quite an improvement in our city, 1t
would be a good idea if lot of the
one-story shanties on our business
streets were torn down to give place to
a few more such buildings as this will
be.
The five hundred extra copies of the
WEEKLY HERALD that were issued
on Saturday last sold even better than
we had expected. Out of the whole
lot only few copies are left, and those
will doubtless be sold to-day. The
price of the extras was so low and the
matter so very interesting that they
went off 'like hot cakes.n
An Eastern gentleman who called
at our office yesterday to purchase
some copies of the WEEKLY HERALD
to send to his friends in the States,
was greatly astonished when he saw
that seven-foot bunch of rye we have
on exhibition. He would hardly be-
lieve that it is usual thing here, but
he has only to go to Mr.. Weeds place
and he will see a whole field Of such.
The books in our office show forty
two new subscribers to the HERALD
during the last week. The people are
finding out that we will keep them
well posted as to what is being done
in Los Angeles county, and are show
ing their appreciation of our work.
Our press is fully able to turn out a
still greater number of papers, so send
in your names and you will be sup
piled.
Prof. CLANCY will give free lecture
this evening, commencing at s o'clock
at Leck's Hall. He will also exhibits
planetarium representing the sun in
the center with the planets revolving
around it at different distances and
rates of speed, so that even q child
may comprehend their movements.
The lecture will be upon Astronomy
and Free Masonry" Collection taken
to defray expenses.
A team belonging to one or our
farmers took a notion to astOnish the
people on Spring street yesterday after
noonb by going down that thoroughfare
at full Roadway. No damage was done
to the street, but the wagon came out
rather demoralized. Moral: Take the
trouble to hitch your teams to post
when you leave them, and they will
be likely to give you very much less
trouble.
AS many Of our business men would
not pay their share to keep the water
cart going whe it was started q few
days ago, it had to be drawn off; but
we are now reaping the consequences,
for the dust yesterday, which might
have been wet down, spoiled consider
able goods in some of the stores. A
few cents per week paid to keep the
cart going will be of many dollars ben
eft when we get day like yesterday.
Bring out your cart!
Turn Verein Hall was crowded last
night by persons anxious to hear Pro-
fessor Fowler lecture on Phrenology.
The Professor delivered an able lecture
and showed by his language that he
fully understands his business as q
phrenologist. The people of this city
have now an opportunity to listen to
one of the finest phrenologists that
ever came to this State, and they will
do well to attend his lecture tonight.
The ball given last night by the ST.
Patrick's Benevolent Society at their
hall in Stearns' block passed off Very
pleasantly. The affair was gotten up
in q quiet way for the pleasure Of a
