Worse and worse! Beside the spell

cisco, loaded down with the best sto tx

At q meeting Of the Los Angeles

tain, D. w. Fitzpatrick; First Lieu
tenant, James BARLEY; Orderly Sar-
gent, VIM. d. Barnum; First Duty

At Page & Gravel's carriage manu-
factory yesterday we saw an elegant
single buggy, nearly completed, for
Ex-Governor Pho Pico. The running
gear is silver bronzed and delicately
striped, making an extremely novel
but tasteful finish. The body and top
are of the finest material that can be
procured and finished in style to cor.
respond with the other work. The
buggy, when completed will cost
| about $500, and we safely venture the
assertion that no finer Of its kind can
be found in the State. 1 40 DHa
Several parties have accused us of
mis-spelling some of the catch-words
in our report of the spelling-match of
Wednesday evening. BY way of ex-
planation we will state that we were
guided by Worcestershire standard
taken in our office-and by that au.
thority all OF the words were printed
correctly. In this there was only one
deviation from any other authorized
orthography. Worcester gives do-
guerr0type and Webster ddguerr(e)o-
type. The rest Of the words, as sane
toned by both authorities, are sibyl,
herboceous, ichthyology, troubadour,
co0utch0uc and tic-d0utourcur.
y The Oriental Restaurant will be
opened in Signoret's new building,
opposite the Pico House, Tomorrow,
by Messrs. Flote & Cason. Both of
these gentlemen are caterers of long
experience and we expect from them
something above the average of So
called first class restaurants. o The
dining rooms comprise large hall for
general accommodation and four pri-
vate apartments for families and par
ties. All are fitted up in elegant style
and furnish, together, probably the
most retired and commOdi0us estab-
lishment of the kind in the city.
Mr.. kirkpatrick, who lives on the
corner of Fort and Fifth streets, had
| two valuable sheep killed last Monday
night by vicious dog. The sheep
were valued at $225 together, aud this
amount of property sacrificed by q
brute not worth two cents, Is severe
tax on good nature. There is an or
dinance, we believe, among the dead
letters Of this city, which provides for
the licensing and muzzling of dogs;
and now that the Summer Is coming
on, the present issa most propitious
time for It's enforcement. Let us have
q squad Of policemen out administer
ing hot applications Of powder and
lead to. these renegade ours and the
city will be better off. IS
"By the way" says q correspond
ent Of the San Diego Union, "have
you noticed what q hubbub this spell
