> y
of age, got lost from his parents In the
melee of celebration yesterday, and
was kindly taken i'm charge by Messrs.
Summers & Nelson, at the Palace of
Sweets, Spring street. He awaits a
claimant.
Yesterday morning as the procession
was forming, the New York Bakery
wagon collided at the corner of First
and Spring streets with buggy occu-
pied by Mr.. Valencia and wife, turning
1t completely over. The horses were
secured, and, strange to say, no injury
was done to the buggy or occupants.

Professor Lippard's class of gentle
men in dancing will meet at Leck's
Hall tonight for their second lesson.
We are glad to learn that the Profess
sor is meeting with excellent success
in our city and has large class al
ready formed. Still, there is always
room for one more, and those who are
deficient in this most necessary ac-
complishment should join the class at
once so as to secure the benefit of the
first lessons.
A runaway occurred in the Arroyo
Seco, on Ramirez's ranch yesterday
afternoon, which, luckily, was not at
tended with any serious results. A
gentleman and lady riding in single
buggy by careless driving managed to
upset their vehicle, and both were
thrown to the ground. The buggy at
once righted itself and the horse struck
out at his best gait for the river. Mr..
Froelinger, who chanced to be near at
hand, we'll mounted, gave chase and
and succeeded in checking the rum
away before any damage had been
done. The gentleman and lady who
were thrown from the buggy sustained
few slight injuries, but nothing Be-
rious.
Enough bunting was thrown to the
breeze yesterday to supply an army
with banners. Most of the business
houses, as we'll as many private resi-
dences, were decorated with the stars
and stripes, and vehicles of all descrip-
tions, from the truck to the baby car
riage, were equally we'll supplied.
There was a sort of a fiag-mania prev
alent which must have made business
uncommonly lively for dealers in the
patriotic ensign. Among the rest, the
Backman House was noticeable for its
Fourth of July decoration, having, be-
sides the large colors floating from the
flagstaff, multitude of smaller flags
displayed from the windows Of the
entire front. If the American eagle
had been flying over Los Angeles yes
terday, he would have tapped his
wings and crowed.
An elegant young friend of ours who
officiates as book-keeper for whole
sale house in the city, was made the
victim of Fourth-of-July joke on
Sunday. While out at the Arroyo
Seco grove playing the agreeable to a
couple of ladies, he came across an
honest Granger, who had a young goat
in his wagon. Now our elegant young
friend Is rather deficient In his knowl-
edge of zoolOgy-especially of things
that don't have bills to them-and he
at once opened negotiations with the
aforesaid honest Granger for the pur-
chase of that little deer. He thought
that deer would be fine present for
one of his lady friends, and upon con-
sultation the lady seemed to think so
too. So the little animal was pur-
chased for consideration; the delight
ed young gentleman stood treat over
his bargain, and all went merry as q
marriage bell. The final result as we
learn it is that the Granger is five dol
lars ahead in his cash balance. the ell
egant young man is possessed of con-
siderable uneasiness and the lady
ownes little goat.
