fice Present, Messrs. James and
Kurtz, members holding over, and
Messrs. Jackson and Huber, new
members. Absent, Mr.. Long.
The room was brilliantly illumina-
ted with two tallow candles, which
will account for any lack in this re-
port.
DR.. Lucky, Secretary of the old
Board, called the meeting to order,
and Mr.. James was elected temporary
Chairman.
Mr. James took The chair and on
motion was unanimously elected Pres
ident of the Board for the ensuing
year.

Board in regard to q claim of Mrs. F.
A. Parker for janitor services, and adj
ditional pay as teacher.
Mr.. James was appointed to get le-
gal advice in regard to Mrs Parker's
salary.
Miss Mary 5. Porter applied for
leave of absence for the ensuing term.
Granted.
DR.. Lucky announced that there
were three vacancies, viz: The class
es OF the Misses Barrett, Miller and
Porter.

over the books and papers to Mr.. Jack

tie necessity for accounts, but we sup
pose Mr.. Jackson, the new Secretary,
will continue, if not imprrve, the sys-

LETTER FROM SAN FERNAN DO.
The LOcation-M Mission histOry-An
Ancient Relic-.vania lisIn--The
Ranch.

Among the many Interesting curiosities
Of Los Angeles county is the Mis-
sion OF San Fernando, situated q miles
northwest Of Los Angeles in one of the most
beautiful valleys in The county. Its location
could not have been better. In this respect
the Spanish missionaries showed great wis
dom, for all the Missions in Southern Callior-
mia are certainly the garden spots OF the
country.
MISSION SAN FERNANDO.
The Mission of san Fernando was begun in
l797 and was twelve years in building. It
was built by the Indians under the direction
of the Mexican Priests, and in its most pros
porous days there were 1900 ludians living
there There were originally great many
buildings, but now Il great many have gone
to decay. few remc'iants IF the once nu-
merous Indians still reside in the ruined old
adobe houses. TLey are miserable speci-
white man has been fatal 10 them.
VENERABLE INDIAN.
There s one venerable old fellow who
claims that he is l07 years old and he certain
Iy looks ti;a' old. He claims that his memo
ry of fldnss extends back ldO years. II is
hard totcil huw the immense timberS that
were used in the building OF this Mission
were hauled from the mounlains 10 their
present place, as ut that time there were no
roads or teams, They were probably trans
ported by hand from the noun thins tot
Mission Not very dficnIt task when there
were several thousand Indians To do 1t.
DECAY OF THE MISSION.
The church is rapidly going to decay,
and ere long will crumble into earth again.
A painting vi San Fernando adOrns the wall
above the altar, and a portrait af the Saviour
IL also represented.
VANDALISM.
There are several priests buried beneath
the floor or the church; and not long since an
American named Collins and two other in
idviduals hearing that valuabes were buried
in the grave of a priest, dug open the grave in
search OF them. but they were disturbed in
their nefarious work and fed. Collins only
secured a bone a n relic, which he afterwards
threw away. Such Vandalism deserves the
severest condemnation
THE GARDENS.
The gardens are not we'll kept but show
many traces of former beauty The olive trees
are very beautiful. and there are many other
kinds OF fruit trees also growing in the gar
den.
THE RANCH.
The San Fernando Ranch contains 10000
acres, probably the largest grant ever made
in California, and pastures about 81, 600 sheep.
II Is divided into two parts, one half OF which
is owned by the San Fernando Land Associa-
tlop AMI the other by the MesSrS. Porter OF
san Francisco, who have rented II for sheep
for SS,tt0 per annum. 1t is IL ,reat disadvan-
tasc to the country that this immense val
ley should be kept from market. would
settle up rapidly with the numerous emf
grants from the East IL put i'm market. The
land is susceptible of high cultivation, barley
and wheat having been raised without irriga-
tion for several years. The day Is not far dis
tant when this immense valley will be Tie
abode Of a large population.
