We call attention to the advertise
ment of Hobbs & Neale, importers of
foreign trees. We are pleased to learn
that these gentlemen intend to bring
to our doors many of the products of
foreien climes which are likely to
thrive well in this country. They are
prepared to enter into contracts for the
planting of orange orchards, and guar
antee the lives of the trees they plant.
This will surely incite our farmers to
renewed activity in the planting of
orange trees this season.
The Anaheim paper says that the
Cinnamon, All Lee and All Kong, car.
ried to Los Angeles to produce in
court the large, broken box which is
said to have contained the stolen
treasure, about which the recent suits
have been. 1t is a light and frail box,
but has an enormous lock, the Chi
nese apparently thinking that any
one disposed to rob it would be de-
tered by the formidable look of the
lock.
Mr.. Binford of our city has come
to time with hen story that is worth
telling. He has eleven hens altogether
and one rooster. Monday he gathered
in crop of ten eggs, Tuesday he har-
vested eight, and Wednesday twelve.
He is confident that no outside hens
contributed to the product and now
the question is, Did one of the hens lay
two eggs on Wednesday, or did the
rooster lay one. We submit the ques-
tion to our philosophers and philan-
tropists. Apropos of this story, how
ever, our Muggins says he has one.
The other day he found two eggs in
his barn and he hasn't chicken in
the world.

Rose is man so blind that he cannot
see hole through a ladder,and Praster
is a burly blacksmith nearly as big as
