The concert of the young ladies' of
Los Nietos Institute, on Wednesday
evening last, was attended by very
large audience, who were astOnished
and delighted at the vocal and instru-
mental treat provided. Some of the

talent, and all were faultlessly rem
dered.
We were shown this week speci.
mems of the tobacco, grown on Messrs
Perkins & McGregor, which 1t is de-
signed to send to the Centennial.
Some 10 or II pounds will be carefully
prepared and sent forward, consisting
of Havana and Connecticut leaves,
bright and dark wrappers. Some of
this tobacco was grown here and some
at Costa. 1t is the choicest Of last
years crop, and possesses a peculiarly
fine aroma, and II anything can, dem
onstrates the entire adaptability of

A Cannon with a History.

The attention of the public was con-
siderably aroused yesterday by the ex-
hibition of ten or twelve foot long
cannon, which was hauled up on
Third street to be put in order for use
on the Fourth of July. This rusty old
piece of ordinance has quite history,
having doubtless been cast in Spain
long before any of the present genera
ton saw the light of day. Mr.. A. 5.
Beard, an old resident of Los Angeles,
informs us that it was discovered on
the site of the old fort in Los Angeles,
the rains having washed away the
dirt under which it was buried by the
Mexicans, doubtless to prevent it
from falling into the hands of the
Americans. 1t was used in Los Ange.
les to fire salute on the occasion Of
the election of Franklin Pierce to the
presidency in 1852. Some time after
ward an incident occurred at ball
given by one of the leading citizens of
Los Angeles, which resulted in this
same cannon being dragged upin front
of the house where the ball was going
on, and fired of to cause disturbance
of the festivities, so to speak. A fight
followed which resulted in the death
of three or four persons. The next APP
pearance of the old thunderer is said
to have taken place in this city at a
time when conflict between the Uni
ted States authorities and early Nor
mon settlers seemed imminent. The
representatives of the United States
are said to have double shotted the
grim looking weapon, q proceeding
which was checkmated by some of the
other side driving a rat-tail file into
the vent, thus effectually spIking it.
It is said it was then thrown into u
well where it has remained, thence to
be brought forth to salute the begin
ming of our second century's existence
as nation. May it serve the occa-
sion we'll, and never be used for any
more warlike or less pleasant purpo-
ses.-San Beruardino Times.

he Councils TwesdIsd dum-A Card from Mr..
Potts.

EDITOR HERALD. Will you please
allow me to make few comments in
your columns on the proceedings oi
our City Council. The reasons alleged
in the report on selling water to J. w.
Potts and others why they should not
grant the request are first: Because
the city has heretofore granted water
rights to the Woolen Mill; and. sec.
ond, that people on the Los Felis
Ranch take the water when they
please; third, if they grant Mr.. Potts
his rights they will have to grant 9TH
ers their rights; fourth, u.at they can
not divide the water equally between
all who are entitled to it without de-
creasing the quantity of water used by
the domi nant party who are already
using the water. But. see by the
morning papers that they take the au-
thOrity AS city officials to appoint q
water overseer on certain ditch out
side of the city limits. And this is
not all that our City Council does by
arbitrary acts without consulting the
laws or Justice: They order the water
turned out of the public ditch on to
my land whenever it suits their con-
venience, and order a man whom they
call ZanjerO to go through my land
and open my fence at his will, which
they have no more legal right to do
then they have to order him to open
my door to go through to the other
street. These are some of the pro-
ceedings of our City Council, for
which, in case Cf a lawsuit by some
party who is determined not to be run
over any longer, the Taxpayers ofthe
city will have to foot the bills, as in
the case of the Felis Ranch and Re-
quena suits, and many other things
equally absured and unjust are done
by them, which will write of at some
future time. do not intend to inn
peach all of the Council in this article,
as some of them were and always are
ready to do justice to all parties, but
as they are in the minority their ef-
forts prove useless.

Friday night last at Woods Opera
House, after the close of an act, one of
the actors named Murphy had finger
blown off by the premature discharge
of an old musket. The musket had
hung fire the night before and another
load was put in it, and Mr.. Murphy's
forgetfulness caused an accidental dis

a finger at the fir t joint.

The Singer.

No words of commentator are nec-
essary for the old favorite Singer Sew
ing Machine, which may be found In
nearly every well regulated household
in the land. In point Of manufacture
and finish 1t cannot be excelled. and
all of the latest Improvements and at
tachments are incorporated and adapt
ed to it. The mechanism is the most
simple and durable; the easiest regu-
lated and the least liable to get out of
order. Everybody who has tried the
machine speaks enthusiastically in its
favor, and this fact accounts for its
immense popularity and the many
thousand machines which are annu-
ally turned out from the mandatory.

The Extreme OF Impudence.

A case was lately tried in the Court
OF Queens Bench, Dublin, in which
the plaintiff sued for damages for in
juries sustained by falling into a eel
lar, the grating of which had been
improperly left open by the defendant.
The plaintiff, in bis fall, broke the
grating, and for this damage to his
property the defendant claimed the
sum of E5. Plaintiffs counsel said
that the audaCity of this demand had
never been paralleled in his expert
ence, except in one instance, and this
exceptional case he proceeded to re-
late for the benefit Of the court and
jnry. There lived, he said, at one
time in MerriOn Square, Dublin, (the
fashionable quarter of that city,, an
eminent lawyer, who afterward came
to occupy place on the judicial bench.
He was man of high professional at
tainments, bnt of testy and irritable
temper. His next door neighbor was
a retired Major, noted for the eccen'
tricities of his habits; between the
two there was anything but friendly
feeling, and they did all in their pow
er to annoy and harass each other.
One night, memorable in Ireland as
"the night of the great Storm" the
Majors chimneys were blown down.
Crash they went through the roof of
the LAWYERS house, and thence down
through floor after floor, carrying
havoc in their course. The man OF
law was in no good humor as he con-
templated the destruction, and what
made matters worse was that it was
the Majors chimneys that had occa-
stoned the wreck. His mind was ac-
lively engaged in devising some pro-
cess by which he could get satisfac-
ton from his arch enemy, when a
missive arrived from the latter, couch
ed as follows: "Send me back my
bricks Immediately, or I'll put the
matter into the hands of an attorney
