gathering statistics of the wine pro-
duct, and during the day paid visit
to Mr.. Kellers wine depot and was
delighted with the solid evidences of
prosperity on exhibition there.
The Brooklyn Heights tract is now

The Chinaman, All Lung, who was
shot by an Indian day or two since,
has had the pistol ball extracted by
DIR. Brooke. 1t is said that this celes-
tial is "bruiser" am ong his race and
it would seem unfor tunate that his
first collision with an outsider should
prove so disastrous to his comfort.
The Indian is boarding with Mr..
Clancy for the nonce.
Mr.. Salari of the st. Charles hotel,
discovered yesterday a nondescript ar
ticle In an absent boarder's room that
excited his astonishment. AT first
it was supposed to be an Internal ma
chine, but was finally decided to be part
of patent harness, intended to cure
balky horses, or animals defective in
wind or muscle. 1t was discovered
since Rarey's time and will prove in
valuable to horseman.

last. with his wife and daughter from
the East, where he has been for some
weeks past, disposing of his property
and arranging his business with the

From Louis Levin & Co., popular

The Occidental restaurant on Main
street near the Pico House attracted
our attention the other night and we
determined to test the cuisine of that
establishment. In our visit we learned
that everything, from beefsteak to
broiled quail might be obtained done
up in the best possible style. Moth
ing but first class meals are furnished
guests and all can be assured of apo
lite reception. Mr.. Perpich invites
his friends to give him call and test
the virtues Of his restaurant.
Our old friend, Judge Letford, was
agreeably surprised on Tuesday night
to meet in the person of Mr.. w. Beach,
Of Spadra, an old companion in arms,
a member of the same company with
him during the Mexican war. The
old friends had not met since 18J6,and
when they clasped hands the recollec-
ton of old times brought tears into
their eyes. Both had changed In the
last twenty-six years, but in that
meeting they renewed their youth
and felt as full of life and fire as when
they campaigned together In Mexico.
1t was a joyful meeting, and the old
veterans pledged each other again and
again in generous California wine.
From the Schooln,aster we learnt
Monday morning, in consequence of
the fog, it was chilly at the time of
commencing school. The pupils and
teacher of the Eighth street school
concluded to have fire. The stove
was soon put up and filled with dry
wood. All were happy; when sudden
ly the falling of sparks called atten-
tion to the roof, which, in consequence
of a defective pipe, was in a light
blaze. Fortunately, there was an am
pie supply of water. The pupils show
ed great presence of mind, and scaling
the walls were soon on the roof, and
in a few minutes extinguished the
flames. Special credit is due John
Fitzgerald, Willie Nixon and Edmund
Truedale for their we'll directed efforts,
though all did we'll. Considering the
combustible nature of the roof, it Is a
wonder that the flames were so easily
