from gentleman who came up
from Santa Monica yesterday we learn
that lady by the name of Mrs. Brown
and her three children arrived there
expecting to meet her husband, who,
when last heard from was at work at
| that place engaged at his trade, that of
carpenter. On her arrival, however,
| she learned that her husband had left
there, but no one knew where. She is
therefore anxious that he shouldknow

Mr.. Cliff, the agent for the Coast
line of stages, yesterday received a
telegram from Don Marco Forster,
dated at Los Flores, saying the up
stage this morning was washed into
the ocean by the San Onofre river, ten
miles North of Los Flores. Two
herses were drowned. Don Marco
concludes his dispatch by saying that
he was about to start to see if he could
find anything Of the stage. Mr.. Cliff
informs us that he does not think that
any human lives were lost.
During the freshet yesterday the
rapid current of the Arroyo Seco, as
it plunged into the Los Angeles river,
| forced the combined water of both
streams against the West bank of the
river and carried away an immense
| amount Of earth. This fact should be
seriously considered and breakwater
constructed to prevent further damage
from this cause. The river, after strik-
! ing the West bank and tearing that
away then recoils and striking the
East side, is carrying away several
acres of soil and placing it on the low
er lands down stream.
