been to place Los Angeles in an al
most complete blockade, as hardly an
avenue of communication with the
outside world has been left open. The

day and last evening. The steamer
which should have arrived from San
Francisco to-day was detained and did
not leave port until yesterday morn

were utterly demoralized, and scarce
ly pound of mail matter put in an
appearance. We learn that the Coast
line stages were detained near Santa
Barbara. The telegraph line connect
ed the termini Of the Southern Pacific
Railroad at Caliente and San Fernado
was cut off by the Santa Clara river,
which was impossible. The stage on
this side was compelled to put back
and remain at Andrew Station, above
San Fernando. The railroad track be-
tween Los Angeles and San Fernando,
we learn, was washed out in two
places; the Cotton branch was over
flowed by the San Gabriel, and the
Anaheim branch was more or less in
jured. The track of the Los Angeles
and Independence road has also suf-
fered considerably. Altogether Jupi-
ter Pluvius has played sad havoc with
us, but we trust that everything will

foreign painters, while the walls and
counters are always covered with the
latest and most popular pictures.

Prevailed, the Cantata of Esther was
not produced Saturday evening but
the company held n dress rehearsal.
The money which has been received
for tickets will be held by Levin & Co.
and returned to the purchasers if de-
sired or the tickets will be good for

The drivers of the horse-cars on the
Spring street route had hard time
yesterday, as the rain made it impos-
sible to keep the cars on the track for
| any considerable distance. One of
the horses kicked and bucked until he
went through the harness and ran to
the barn, leaving ear and passengers.
Mr.. Johnson, the driver, soon had the
car moving, but lost one trip by the
delay. -7..s .5.s.t
Our friend Louis Schwarz of the
Philadelphia Brewery is no longer one
of the boys. He has become q staid,
quiet, married gentleman. The fact
and the name of the lady who cap
tured him will be found under the ap-
propriate head. Louis Was SO well
pleased over the event that he left a
keg of beer at the HERALD Office, and
the boys have been drinking long life
to the happy couple ever since.
