Com mittee of Safety was held last
night and the matter discussed. An
adjourned meeting will be held on
Tuesday evening at 8 O'Clock.
The grading Of Spring street, south
of Fourth, is progressing favorably,
the work between Fourth and Fifth
being almost finished and the side
walk on the west side of the street
completed.
B. Mcclellan, Agent of the CONNER
cial Insurance Company, yesterday
paid to Messrs. Caswell & Ellis the
amount of damages claimed by that
firm for their loss by water and smoke
at the late fire.
The medical claim of $500, which
we mentioned week ago, received
large discount when the jury decided
it. The verdict was S4O0, discount
of SS4 per cent. That jury was evil
IDENTIFY in favor of homeopathic treat.
ment, judging by their verdict.
AS the Spring street Methodist
Church approaches completion, it
becomes more ornamental and impos-
ing. With its neat finish and lofty
steeple, it lays just claim to being the
most beautiful church in Southern
California.
Those who would hear an able and
eloquent lecture on the Political AS
pect of the Temperance Question:"
should visit Good Templars' Hall this
evening. Mr.. Fitzpatrick has the rep
| utation of being one of the ablest lec-
turers in the State. There will be no
charge for admission.
A late number of the Atchison
tKansas) Champion contains, on one
page, ten articles on grasshoppers.
Yet, in the face of all this, the press
agent at Atchison, who is the proprie-
tor of that paper, has kilograms sent
all over the country saying that there
are no grasshoppers in Kansas.
Lewis G. Granger, ESQ.,, an eminent
lawyer of this State, IA forty-niner),
and for many years resident of this
city, is one of the attorneys in the
great land case now being tried before
the Register Of the land office. Mr..
Granger is held in affectionate re-
membrance by all Of the old residents
of this city.
The average Kansas Radical is pom
dering whether the grasshoppers are
going to fight it out on that line if it
takes all Summer, or whether Grant
is going to run for third term. The
Kansas political war-cry in 1876 will
probably be, "Grasshoppers and Grant
for another term.n
The late Mr.. Lanfranco was buried
yesterday with all the solemn ceremo-
MES of the Catholic church. A large
number of mourners witnessed the
solemn ceremonies at the Cathedral,
and followed his remains to their last
| resting place. A valuable citizen, a
kind husband and indulgent father
has departed.
| Four drunks and case Of larceny
were tried before Mayor Beaudry yes
terday morning. Mr.. King was the
supposed name of the latter individ-
ual, and he had exercised his royal
prerogative by laying claim to la
| dy's cloak at a boarding house. He
will ponder on the ingrattude Of re-
puhlics for twenty days in the chain
| gang. Kings are no account in this
country.
Saturday night will be memorable
occasion in the records of the Good
Templars of Los Angeles. The festi-
/ val at the Rink was grand success,
being crowded throughout the evening
by an audience intent on enjoyment.
The young ladies presiding in the diff
ferent departments distinguished
themselves by their urhanity and po-
liteness. Miss Jennie Hill presided at
the organ.
In visit to the depot yesterday we
observed the watchmen taking unusu-
al precautions against fire. The hose
was carefully laid and the watchmen
were posted, armed with double bar
relied shotguns. AT Perry, Woodwork
| & Co.'s lumber yard we found the
hose laid so as to reach any part of the
| premises and there are on guard sew
eral watchmen duly armed and equip
| ped. That end of town Is well pa
trolled and we promise all intruders
hot reception.
We have received gorgeous invi-
tation to the Terpsichorean Social
Clubs eighth reception, printed on
striped calico, which means that the
young ladies are to put away their fine
clothes, silks, diamonds, etc., for that
night only and appear in all the neat
ness of calico. The gentlemen are ex-
pected to sport calico cravats, but it is
really not much difference what they
wear, as men are only secondary oh
jects at parties. The calico soree takes
place at Leck's Hall next Wednesday
evening week.
We regret to state that Mr.. T. A.
Templeton, who carries the HERALD
through the residence portion of the
city, is lying quite sick and is threat
ened with the typhoid fever Mean
while the carriers place is supplied by
Mr.. VIM. Potts, who is somewhat
new at the business and may acciden-
tally miss some of our subscribers in
! his morning rounds. We must ask
the indulgence of our patrons for
shors time, and will take it as favor
if they will inform us of any delin-
quencies, so that they can be prompt
ly remedied.
