Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-12-16

Some of our vinicuturists are disgusted
with the outcome of the grape crop during
the past season, but they should recollect
that it was an exec ptOnal season. Grapes
will, probably never again sell for thrty-scv-
en- and Il half cents a hundred and the pros
pect that next year the price will be double
that figure. Year in and yearout the crop
will average well and much OF the future
prosperity of Los Angeles depends Oh grape
culture and wine making. We donot mention
the raisin business because that is too small,
at present, to make calculations on, but we
do insist that grape raising next year will be
one of our most profitable industries
We can heartily recommend the Home
Mutual Insurance Company to our property
owners as entirely reliable and very prompt
in the settlement of losses. 1t is a safe COM
pany taking no unusual risks, and always
keeping on hand a large surplus fund for the
safety OF insurers. Through all the recent
great contiagratiOns the Home Mutual has
made prompt settlements, thus increasing
its splendid reputation. Mayor Toberman,
the agent in Los Angeles, can always be
founl at his office over COmmcrc III Bunk
and his name is sufficient guarantee, if any
other were needed, of the Companys relia-
bility.
Insurers will notice that the agency OF the
Ftna Insurance Company of Hartford has
been changed and hereafter Mr.. ]. w. Bfod-
rick will act i'm that capacity. The old .Etna
is the most reliable Eastern company repre-
scented on this coast and no fire short of the
last general conhagration will shake its cred
1t. Its surplus fund is represented by mil
lions and It's assets are of almost fabulous
amount. 1t is the largest fire insurance COM
pany in America and will undoubtedly do
large business in the city.
The dedication of the commodious Fort
street Nj. L. church on next Sunday will be
the religious event OF the season. Rev. DR.. +.
+, Jewell, the orator of the day, is pulpit di-
vine of great reputation and will attract
great crowd. 1t Is the duty of Los Angeles to
encourage such church enterprise as builds
edfices that are an ornament to the town and
no doubt all denominations will join in the
exercises of next Sunday, We are informed
that quite creditable musical programme
will be given on that day.
The Brooklyn Land Company have issued
a fine map of their beautiful tract. The riv-
er lots and blocks are all accurately marked,
so that a buyer knows what he is getting, 1t
will be valuable adjunct in the sale Of these
lands and will do much towards getting pur-
chasers for these commanding residence
sites. No better property is now in the mar
ket, and the company have wisely placed 1t
within the reach of the million. For posi-
| ton, scenery and surroundings, the Brook
| lyn tract is unsurpassed.
An immense crowd attended Eberle's tree
| sale yesterday, and the bidding was spirited
| the aggregate being a large amount. To-day
| and tomorrow the sale will be continued
and coaches will convey buyers to the ground
| leaving Temple Block at and $3.50 A. NJ. We
| recommend farmers and h0useholders to at
tend these sales, as they will get first class
| trees at their own prices. The trees are
| guaranteed what they are represented to be
| and the auctloneers, Jones & Noycs are men
/ OF their word.
| Messrs. Joaquin n. Martinez and Jose
Moraga have passed through the city from
| Lower California, where they claim 10 have
| discovered valuable mines.
