The depot folks are crowded with

Rev. J. H. Warren of San Francisco
delivered very able discourse to q
large congregation OH Sunday evening
at the Congregational church.
Two steamers, the Senator and Con-
stantine, arrived at Wilmington yes
terday, bringing about one hundred
and fifty passengers for this city. ~
A lively dog-fght afforded amuse-
ment to the loafers on Main street yes
terday, but an inconsiderate teamster
spoiled it all with his little whip.
The storekeepers are beginning to
display very conspiciously the differ
ent styles of green neckties-a sure
sign that it is near st. Patricks day.
Los Angeles oranges are about the
only ones offering in San Francisco
now, and as consequence the price

duty on tropical fruits has something
to do with this.

We give in this issue synopsis of
the sermon delivered to the Presby-
terrain Society, on Sunday, by the Rev.
A. Calhoun of Philadelphia. Next
week we expect to follow with a re-
port of the discourse of some other
prominent divine.
Mr.. Newmark's communication on
the duty OH still wines has received
the Endorsement of the special COM
muter appointed by the State Wine

The Commissioner of Roads and the
County Surveyor visited the country
yesterday to examine the break in the
bank of the San Gabriel through
which that raging stream is wont in
high water to spread over the fertile
fields of Ell Monte. They think it will

Something very like an elopement
occurred at our neighboring town of
Compton, day or two ago. An aged
Romeo and youthful Juliet have
simultaneously disappeared from their
respective domicils, and in their de-
parture it is strongly surmised that
they have taken the same direction.
J. H. Jones, Esq, who for years
has kept the feed and livery stables on
the corner of Fifth and Spring streets,
has retired from that business AMI has
leased the premises to Mr.. Bowman,
who will continue the same business.
Mr.. Jones is too full Of business to re-
main out of it long, and his present
retirement is probably but the fore
runner of his engagement in some
other more prominent and remunera-
tive business.
Work on Messmers' big addition to
the United States Hotel is progressing,
but before it is finished there will be
a demand for another one. Every
steamer brings a crowd of travellers,
and all our hotels are taxed to their
utmost capacity. The Pico and La
fayette are full of guests. Col. Peel is
advertising for spare rooms all the
time, and the U. S. folks look with
longing eyes for the addition to their
capacity that the new extension will
make.
The Public School Exhibition comes
off tomorrow evening at the Turn We
rein Hall, and all our citizens who de-

the exhibition will be devoted to the
purchase of apparatus for the use of
the schools. Elaborate preparations
have been made for the occasion, and
as our little friends have been busily
engaged during the past two weeks, a
good house is to be expected.
A Want Supplied.
