speech, closing by introducing Bro. T..
B. Wade who made an appropriate
address.
The orator of the day, Bro. L. f..

explanatory of the objects of the or

had more than ordinary significance.
Bro. j. J. Ayers, w. q. c. of Il. of the
State, followed in few remarks, after
which he presided with great digni-
ty over the carving of the lunch and
distribution of the table luxuries.
During lunch number of short ad-
dresses were made, one of the best be-
ing by officer Twomey, who is also a
worthy Janissary. After the collation.

Bland, Nuttall, Gard, w. Smith,
Smart, Hayes and a. w. Potts. The
return march to town was soon taken
up, and all prepared for the ball.
The ball ut the Central Hotel was
the grandest ever given in Downey.
Over fifty couples tripped the light
fantastic, and at four o'clock i'll the
morning the gay crowd dispersed. The

innovation, quite inspiring to the

Clerk, who, being sworn, deposeth and
says:
have been deaf in my left ear for
nearly two years; could not hear 10
comotive whistle when close to 1T L
think my deafness was caused by ex-
posure in sleeping out at night while
teaming; have frequently heard of DR..
Aborn's great success in the treat
mept of such cases; / had been endea-
voring to make arrangements to visit
him at San Francisco for the purpose
of placing myself under his treatment;
1 finally made arrangements to visit
San Francisco the last of October, but
fortunately for me the Doctor arrived
in Los Angeles about one week ago; |
called on the Doctor at the Backman
house yesterday and submitted myself
to his treatment, and to my great joy
and surprise he has, within twenty
four hours, restored my hearing,
SO that 1 can now hear distinctly con-
versation across large room; | can
hear en- ordinary watch tick quite a
distance faom the ear; my hearing
has been so suddenly restored that the
noise of wagons and the hustle on the
streets seem to me unpleasant at first,
as would naturally be expected after
having been totally deaf so long; DR..
Aborn's operations caused no pain or
unpleasant feeling whatever; Major
Hancock, Andrew Joughin, black
smith on Also street, Mr.. Smith, CON

the overseer of that road, and a hun
dred or more other persons in Los An

may be the means of informing others
where they can be cured, is my sole
object in giving this testimonial; l
make my home in Los Angeles, and
am engaged now in teaming across
the river; my business is teaming; /
am now grading across the river.

Los ANGELES, Oct. s.
To my Friends:-I wish to state
that have received medical treat
ment from DR.. Aborn since the 14th
day of August last, and can truly say
that he is the only physician who has
afforded me relief from my complaint
Being desirous of consulting him per-
sonally, and not feeling strong enough
to make the trip to San Francisco he,
partially on my account, visited Los
Angeles where it was more convenient
for me to see him. Heretofore | have
consulted DR.. Aborn by letter and re-
ceived medicines by express from
which have derived decided relief.
Arriving in Los Angeles l saw the
Doctor personally and received an ex-
animation and further treatment. In
so doing l did not expect the Doctor
to perform miracle. My case has
been long one standing, some eight
or nine years. 1 employed the Doc
tor to treat me to the best of his abili-
ty and render me as comfortable as
possible, prolonging my life if it could
be done. l am glad to say that the
visit has been beneficial. His person
al attention has greatly relieved my
distressed condition of the head, ETC.,
and with no further improvement
shall consider that my money has
been we'll invested. 1 leave for San
Diego on the steamer to-day.

THE CROOKED.

There are many persons who suppose that
after Mr.. Bristow has disposed of most Of the
whisky cases in the West where the business
Of swindling the government has assumed
colossal proportions he will turn bis attention
to New Orleans, where, according to some OF
the witnesses in the st. Louis cases, the
whisky was excessively crooked, and where
what the government officers made what they
call " successful raid over year ago.
There is an erroneous idea quite prevalent
to the effect that the distilleries Of this city
are running now and have been running all
along, whereas they we're closed before Mr..
Bristow went into Office and have been closed
ever since, the owners being, we believe un-
willing to meet the demands Of the govern
msnt in regard to back assessments.
At any rate they have been closed, and
crooked whisky, if ever made here at all,
WAS made 80 long ago that the trail, as the
hunters say, must be cold. When the present
Collector of Internal Revenue was indicted
into the Office he found q condition of dead.

been made previously, and hence, though
some OF his predecessors may have waxed fat
in the Office, by ways and means insorutable
to the ordinary intelligence, yet in his case
the opportunity has been wanting, and with
out an opportunity no man can be dishonest
He can afford to say, in the classic and foTci
BILE language of the immortal bard:
Let the CALLED jade vince,
Our withers are unwrung."
1t il very clear that without distilleries
there can be neither crooked whisky mol
straight whisky. and that without the former
there can be no crooked money made.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 9Th.
Hon. John McEnery, Governor elect Of Louisiana:
Dear Sir-The political complication grow
ing out of the general election of 1872 in
louisiana resulted, as you we'll know, in the
formation OF two legislative bodies, represent
ing respectively the Observation-Disclosures
and Liberal elements on the one part,
and the Radical Republican on the other.
The former body acting in conjunction
with yourself as Governor, and the latter
with W. P. Kellogg, as a sitting member of
the State Senate, although Republican, and
yielding nothing as such, my sympathies
were in favor of the former body, as rep
resenting not only the popular will, but
as giving the best guarantee of State reform

A DARING BURGLARY.
Thieves Enter the Residence Of Mr.. n. C.
Folger and Depart with $4,000
Worth Of Diamonds and Jewelry.

The residence of Mr.. N. G. Folger, at the
corner of St. Charles and Second streets, was
burglariously entered some time between the
hours of and half-past 8 o'clock, We'd
nesday night, by some unknown thief OF
thieves, who managed to make good their e.
cape, taking with them one large diamond
cross, one pair of solitaire diamond earrings,
one gentleman's solitaire diamond pin, .
ladys gold watch and chain, one coral pin,
one gold sleeve-button, shell shape, and one
shawl pin in the shape Of q hat-all valued a
$4,000.
The burglars effected an entrance into the
house by means of ladder that had been
left in the yard by painters who had been en-
gagged painting the house, and who neglected
to remove it. The ladder was placed against
the gallery, and the thieves assembled it. Once
on the gallery, they raised the window OF
Miss Blanche Folger's room and opened the
armoir, where they pulled out all of the
clothes and helped themselves to the diamond:
and jewelry. They then crossed the hall and
opened another room, where they found 9
gold watch and chain. Miss FolRer was the
first to discover that the house had been en-
tered. On retiring to her room at o'cloci
she noticed that the windows were raised and
the clothes scattered about the room.
The armoir was opened with the key which
had been left on the toilet in the room, Ant
which tho thieves replaced before making
their exit with their booty. A new chisel was
found on the slide of the window, which hac
been placed there by the knights Of the jimm,
to hold it up, and which they neglected t.
take with them in their hurry to depart
The family and servants were down stair
on the ground floor all the evening, ant
nothing was learned of the robbery until Mis-
Folger went up stairs The plot was evi

familiar with the premises.

No POstpOnement-NO Delay.

Information having been received from
agents all over the country that tickets in the
Golden Drawing of the Louisiana State Lot
terry are selling rapidly, and enough having
already been sold to justify the company in
assuming the risk of all unsold tickets, it has
been wisely determined to announce that in
the coming drawing no scaling of prizes will
take place. Prizes will therefore be paid in
full and the holders of lucky numbers will
reap enough to live at their ease for the re-
mainder of their lives. Indeed, so rapidly
are tickets going off that we advise those who
wish to purchase to try their luck at once, as
there will positively be no postponement, and
the chance to win fortune may slip away.
By raising clubs of ten the tickets can be pur-
chased at liberal discount.
