CITY AND SUBURBS.

The suicide last night makes the
sixth case our Coroner has had since
he took his Office, few weeks ago.

city of the size of this.

A full and prompt attendance is great
ly desired of all the members.
Mr.. Mcclellan has just commenced
the erection of house on Hill street.

few months more as lively as it has
been for a few weeks past, our city
will be greatly improved in appear
ance.
Mr.. PIERCY AT ANAHElM. We
hear that Mr.. Piercy's entertainment
at Anaheim last Wednesday evening
came off with great success, drawing
crowded house. The Anaheimers can
appreciate good thing, even if it does
turn joke on the Teutons.
SALT.-The salt works of Mr.. Trodcl
now furnish from five to ten tons of
salt per week for Celislier's tannery.
No more necessity for sending to San
Francisco for this article when we
have within an available distance
such fine beds of rock salt.
SOME SoAP.-The Los Angeles Soap
Mandatory made and sold on this
market last month over thirty-five
thousand pounds of soap. During the
present month their production will
be about forty thousand pounds. The
materials for manufacture are all
bought in this county.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-Suit was
brought before Justice Trafford yes
terday by II. L. Davis against VIM.
Harris for assault and battery. A jury
found the defendant guilty of assault.
Sentence will be pronounced to-day.
The difficulty occurred at Los NietOs
some days since and involved sundry
guns and pistols in the hands of the
parties in dispute.
JUST THE D1FFERENCE.-Apr private
letter from Missouri under date of
April Cd reports fine fall of snow
on the first of this month Another
from Menonimee Michigan, says that
the ice still remains upon the bays of
Lake Michigan and snow covers the
ground. Meanwhile we are enjoying
our fine Summer weather and flowers
and fruit We can only appreciate
our climate by comparisons of this
kind.
WHAT WE DRINK.-The ale. and
porter establishment of Messrs. FUN
ing & Co. turned out last month for
consumption in this city eight hun
dred dozen bottles of ale and porter.
They will make about twelve thous-
and gallons of the beverage for ship
ment to San Bernardino and San Di-
ego next month. Their manufacture
resembles the genuine old English ale
in quality and is not bad to take, as
we know by experience.
THoROUGH-BRED.- The celebrated
young stallion "Young Lexington"
will stand for the present season in
Los Angeles county. The horse has
in him the blood of "Bostonn and
"Glencoe," two Of the most promi-
nent running strains in America, and
will do much to improve stock in our
county. The good pedigree of this
stallion is vouched for by prominent
persons, and he will prove to be all
that he is represented to be by his
owner.
GoNE.-Mr. Burr, who has been for
several days past taking orders for
clothing to be made by San Fran
cisco firm, left yesterday for San Diego.
1t is pity he did not leave sooner,
and we are sorry that any of our citi-
Zens could be so blind to their own in
terests, and of the community at large
as to send their work to men who do
our city no good and only injure our
own merchants. The merchant tai
lors here are inferior to none on the
coast, and are fully awake and up to
the times. We are sorry that anyone
can be so silly as to run down our fell
low business men to help on firm
that does not even pay a license for
the business they take away from our
city.
HOMES FOR EVERYBODY.-On Mon
day next Noyes & Durfee will sell at
auction for Mr.. Beaudry two hundred
building lots located in this city. The
demand for this class of property is
increasing daily and those who invest
their money in it now will realize a
profit far in excess Of anything in the
shape of interest. In one or two years
these lots will have doubled and treb-
led in value. The greater number Of
those who purchase on Monday will
do so with view of securing lots on

may be of interest to state that Mr..
Beaudry's water works, designed to

ance ofwater fer domestic purposes,
are rapidly approaching completion.
