shooting star of unusual brilliancy,
or comet, he has not been able to de-
termine which, yesterday morning
about half-past o'clock. 1t darted
from North to South in the heavens,
and was visible for at least ten Sec
onds, making light so brilliant that
houses were Illuminated as if by the
reflection of fire. 1t had tail behind
which he says looked like chain-light-
ming. Was it a comet, or what? and
was it prognosticated in the almanacs?
Professor Money may rise and ex-
plain.
MPage & Gravel have hit upon fine
plan for advertising their business in
conspicuous places throughout the
county. They have had some five
hundred large cards printed at the
HERALD job rooms, and npon these
Messrs Tucker& Smith have mounted
a fine photograph of the carriage es-
tablishment. The whole are put up
in fine walnut frames, and make an
ornament for any place of business.
Messrs. Page & Gravel are foremost
among our business men in judicious
advertising, and they make it pay.
August Rose the demented blind
man, whose wife deserted him some
time since, has again come to grief.
Sunday evening he went to the house
where his wife was living with anoth-
er man and knocked for admission.
One j. &. Praster, the wife's paramour,
came to the door,and not relishing the
| presence of his visitor much, wrenched
| the old mans cane from his hand and
belabored him over the head and face
with it in a frightful manner. Rose
was seriously injured.
Mr.. Stansfield informs us that the
Railroad House will be reopened in a
week or ten days, as soon as it can be
repaired. This house has had bad
luck in the last year, having been
drowned out twice and narrowly es-
Gaping destruction by fire on another
occasion. But Stansfield is irrepres-
sible, and he can never be put down
by fire or water.
One of the finest opportunities for
securing beautiful and eligible home-
stead sights in Los Angeles is offered
in the closing out sale of the Morris
| Vineyard Tract, which will take place
on the 7th and Sth of March. Go and
see the property if you wish to be con-
vinced of its advantages. Information

Mrs. Starkey, the irrepressible, is
again in the courts. She commenced
suit before Judge Sepulveda yesterday
against Mr.. d. V. Waldron to recover
$4,000 for alleged malicious prosecu-
ton. Messrs. Myers IL Bell who have
thus far conducted the good lady
through her trouble, are for the prose-
| cution.
Mr.. E. Brandt, an athlete and gym
mast of San Francisco, who sports
quite a reputation, has taken up his
residence in Los Angeles. We saw
some of his performances at Turn
verein Hall last night, and we think
that he will take the blue Ribbon from
the Turn-Verein here.
The buildings now In course of con-
struction in Los Angeles and those
projected and planned will aggregate
| in cost ever $l50,000. This certainly
shows rigorous and healthy growth
despite the talk of hard times.
The railroads were all in repair
again last night. The Anaheim train
went down at 4:3O, and the San Fer
nando train will be in this morning,
bringing the mail.
Mr.. S. II. Buchanan, our we'll known
builder, has just finished neat little
| church at Pasadena which is the pride
of the colony. 1t cost about $4,000.
The Los Angeles Police are not to
blame for the burglaries committed on
Sunday night. 1t would have been
accident not sagacity had the robbers
been discovered 1t can not be ex-
pected that a dozen poorly paid police
men can be watchful of every store on
such terrible night.
