Brother Fisher is giving some
one hereaway dig under the rit
in the following parable: "We

cessant toots. A day or two after
wards we have seen that same
horn-a veritable stranded bugle'
surrendered TO some less ambi-
tious juvenile, who was content to
make wheezy noise, that spoke
plainly of departed glory. We
have seen newspapers 60 through a
similar history. Our neighbors at
Los Angeles mustn't blow too much
at the beginning He couldn't,
by any means, refer TO the "spirit-
ist" paper in this section, could he?
The attention of property owners
is directed to the card of Mr.. Wal

which appears in other columns.

We regret to learn of the death
of Isaac J. Smith, formerly a well
known and popular citizen of this
city. 1t seems that on Sunday,
July 28tli, he went into the river at
Cloverdale, in this State, to take a
swim. While in the water he was
seized with cramps, and before his
friends OH the bank could reach
him he sank and was drowned.
He was buried at Cloverdale. The
deceased WAS brother of Aaron
Smith, Of this city, and the two
brothers were at one time at the
head of fiourishing carpeting
house here. His body will be
taken up aud removed to Chicago,
TO he placed in the family vault in
that city.
An exchange says: 1t may not be
generally known that common
cooking soda is sure remedy for
the bite of a rattlesnake, If applied

fell below the expenses. AS a
general thing, John is a better
financier than Wing Sing has
proven to be.

for further attention to duty for
the day. James was arrested by
officers Keller and Benites and

days.
