The delayed mails which arrived
Sunday were welcomed by hun
dreds of our citizens. At one time
while the Post-office was open, line
of impatient letter seekers was formed
which extended to the middle of
Spring street.
Workmen are busy putting a side
walk and gutter along Main street
above First. The lamp post at that
corner stands at an angle of about for
ty-five degrees and the glass is broken.
1t looks as though there would be few
lamps to light when they conclude to
illuminate the streets.
There are in some parts of town a
great number of dogs who do not ap-
pear to belong to any one in particu-
lar. A dog tax would serve to clear
them out or replenish the treasury. If
q dog is worth anything, his owner
will not object to paying for him; if
not; let the executioner loose and get
rid of them.
Our readers will remember that the
sale of Mr.. Levy's extensive collec-
tion of oil paintings will take place
on Wednesday afternoon and evening
without fail. Messrs. Jones & Noyes,
the auctioneers, will give every op-
portunity to our citizens to show their
taste at very small figure, and we
trust the sale will be we'll patronized.
Yesterday morning Chinese veg
etable peddler, whose horse had at
tained remarkable degree Of speed,
under the persuasive influence of q
willow wand, went over the railroad
track in upper Main street, and the
vegetables which were piled in the
rear end of the wagon becoming loose,
gently slid out for the space of a hun
dred yards or so, much to the delight
of the boys and the disgust of the ped
dler.
A short time ago Mrs. Froeligh, the
demented lady at the Lafayette hotel,
took the horse and buggy belonging
to doctor from Downey and drove to
the Washington Garden and back.
We are informed that the doctor de-
manded pay for the team, and took
from the insane lady a valuable ring
for compensation. 1t is said that the
friends of the lady intend to take steps
to make the medical gentleman re-
turn the ring.
The lot belonging to the Odd Fell
lows, on Spring street, near First, is
being occupied as a nursery by Tuttle,
Graham & Co. The beds are ole hum
dred feet long by six feet wide, and a
more natural hot-bed could not have
been found, as every foot is exposed to
the sun every hour In the day. There
are already set out some Monterey
expresses over six feet high and re-
markably thrifty. The office for the
sale of plants ami trees, both native
and imported, is at No. 4 Court street.
All who have ever witnessed the
beautiful musical drama of Esther,

the musical talent of Los Angeles for
q representation of this most romantic
part of the history of the Jewish race.
Any one who has the slightest trace
| of music or romance in his compost
tion will enjoy it, from the opening of
the cantata until the complete over
| throw of Haman and the song Of re-
joicing in the closing tableaux.
