Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-10-15

EDITOR HERALD Several tasty
cottages are in course of construction.
Those of Messrs. J. NJ. Mitchell, G.. J.
Mosbaugh and G. H. Frazier will be
desirable improvements, presenting a
great contrast to the temporary shan
ties that are made to do duty as houses
in so many parts of the tract. The
era of permanent improvement is now
fairly inaugurated and other fine
houses will soon be erected. People
are not afraid of spending money on
their residences any more, as Is wit
messed in the case of Mr.. Mallet, whose
house, furnished, cost him seven thou
sand dollars.
CEMETERY ASSOCIATION.
The Cemetery Association have Sc
cured twenty-acre lot little more
than half mile from the business
part of the place, and have surveyed it
into convenient lots. Many of these
have been sold, the sales thus far
amounting to one hundred and fifty
dollars.
THE NJ. L. CHURCH.
The M. E. Church has a new pastor,
Rev. A. B. Campbell, recently of Los
Angeles. The gentleman is winning
golden opinions from his congrega-
tien, and will without doubt be val
liable acquisition to the community.
With their usual enterprise, the Meth
odist brethren, now that the church is
completed and nearly paid for, are
pushing the project for erecting a
H. NJ
the best of success. The change In the
Presiding Eldership is favorably COM
mented upon. The new incumbent
was present last Sunday and gave a
pleasant talk to the Sunday School
about a naughty little boy, driving
nails into gate-post, and setting out
pepper trees in Los Angeles, which
was highly appreciated by the chill
dren. 1t may be difficult to see how
he made these things harmOnize, but
he did, and if you ever went to Sun
day School, Mr.. Editor, you could
easily understand 1t.
NEW CoMERs.
Three new families are now on the
way from the East, intending to set
tie here in Orange. Among them is
the family of DIR. Clark, who came
here two years ago, built house and
then went home, but is now coming
again, "bringing his sheaves with
him."
THE WATER WIZARD.
The "water wizard" is here and
wants somebody to give him a hum
dred dollars to tell where an artesian
well can be bored successfully. His
method of operation is rather peculiar,
being apparently u method without
method; but "they say' that he is re-
ally successful in his predictions.
THE o. o. o.
The 80. o. o." is intending to meet
soon for the purpose of suiciding. In
stead of being meeting for the pur-
pose of literary and social enjoyment
it is expected to resolve itself into an
association having the definite and
commendable aim of founding great
public library. We shall be sorry to
bid goodbye to "the three Os," as the
name is connected with so many pleas
ant remembrances of the past season;
but hoping the new association will
work out permanent public benefit,
we cheerfully bid goodbye to our old
friend.
MIR. FURLoNa'S SCHOOL.
Mr.. Furlong's school is in the midst
of the most successful term since the
beginning of his principalship. All
three of the departments are crowded,
| and the trustees intend to establish a
new one as soon as the necessary build
| ing can be secured. This school Is a
prominent example of the benefits of
consolidation. The district has reso-
lutely refused to attend to any propo-
sal for division, and the result has
been most thorough classification Of
each of the three grades, and the es-
| tablishment of course of study which
for comprehensiveness and thorough
ness is second to none in the country.
