An interesting ceremony, according to the
Steator F,se Press, will take place in Streator on
tomorrow, when the Methodist people, who have
been at work night and day to get it ready, will
dedicate their new church. Bishop Andrews is
to attend and conduct the dedicatory ceremonies,
in which he will be assisted by other ministers.
The services will no doubt be very interesting
and the large audience room should be filled to
its utmost, with those who desire to see and hear.

AN ALIEN CANDIDATE.
An Affidavit as to the Non tIsnship Of Mr..
William Bowden

A number Of citizens of the
Southern portion of Los Angeles
county are pushing Mr.. William
Bowden, at one time editor of q
Santa Ana paper, and but short
resident of Los Angeles county,
and Mr.. Bowden is industriously
pushing himself, as candidate for
the constitutional Convention. We
learn that this is really a Republic
can intrigue, and that the design is
to reflect discredit upon the Demo.
cratic party by the youth, short
residence in Los Angeles, inexpe-
rienee in public affairs, aud, we
may add, lack of ability to dis.
charge the responsible duties of
this position, of this pseudo public
man. We have no hesitation in
speaking our mind of this young
gentleman because, on being ap-
preached to advocate his candidacy,
In the kindest way we sought to
convince him that he should stand
back for older and better men. In
conclusion we present the follow
Ing affidavit, from the County
Clerks office, which shows that
Mr.. Bowden is not even q citizen
of the United States. He certainly
possesses the assurance Of some
aliens that we know of:
STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
COUNTY OF Los ANGELES. 3d.
This is to certify that the records
of my Office show that VIM.
Bowden filed his declaration of in
tention to become u citizen of the
United States, in my office, in the
manner prescribed by law, on the
10th day of June, A. d. 1876, and
that said VIM. Bowden has not, at
this date, been finally admitted to
citizenship by any of the courts Of
this country. A. w. PORTS,
County Clerk,

Deputy.

Burned to the Ground.

Between twelve and one O'Clock
on Sunday the house occupied by
Mr.. A. J. Hamilton, in Rubio
Canon, kept as n summer resort,
was burned to the ground. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Hamilton's house,
hold had gone up the Canon, leav-
ing slow fire in the kitchen at
which the dinner was being cooked.
After they had started Mr.. Enea
Brenna, who has beo ranch near,
happened to look over towards The
house and noticed o dense smoke
issuing from the chimney, but not
knowing that the house was empty
he went into his tent. He return
ed almost Immediately and on
again looking towards Hamilton's
house he saw flames bursting
through the roof. He fastened
over and finding no one there, saved
what he could. On the return of
Mr.. Hamilton and party they found
the house with almost its entire
contents q mass of ruins. He and
his wife and their boarders lost
everything but the clothing on
their persons. The shock to Mr..
Hamilton's nervous system was so
great as to bring on an attack of
his old malady-hemorrhage of the
lungs-from which he had almost
entirely recovered. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton have the sympathy of a
very large circle of friends in their
loss, all of whom sincerely trust
that the nervous Excitement
may not result in permanent
injury to Mr.. Hamilton. The
house belonged 20 Mr.. r. G. Reed.

Home, of Columbus, for $1,000. Mr..
Hamilton, whose loss in furniture
and clothing probably reached
$1,000, held policies of insurance
in the Commonwealth, Of Boston,
for $500 and in the st. Paul, of
Minnesota, for $500.

The Sentinel of June 1st, says:
Mr.. Bandini passed through Yuma
from Sonora and reported q Won
dcrful discovery lately made about
twenty-five miles from Altar. An
old mine which tradition says was
worked by Spaniards two hundred
years ago, who freighted vessels
with bullion which were wrecked
on their voyage to Spain, has been
found. For years prospectors have
searched for it in vain, but now
have been rewarded by finding the
shaft, the mouth of which had been
cemented up, which is $50 varas
(about $50 feet deep. The vein of
silver averages four feet wide and
load of 800 pounds taken to Altar
yielded $500. Another person,
whose name we did not learn,
brought specimens, his account
does not vary much from the above,
save that the shaft is 700 feet deep
and that the 800 pounds yielded
$3.50. Our readers may take this
cum grants sails, in fact may "pep-
per and salt" to suit their credulity.
A ride to Santa Monica Sunday
showed us that the "city by the
sea" is holding its own bravely.
The genial weather, of late, issend-

ing all previous carterers in the

Monsieur Hoffman, late of the Post
Exchange, will hereafter preside
in Mr.. Johnson's kitchen. We en-
countered fish chowder up to the

vailed on the Coast.

THE PREVENTION OF A TERRIBLE
DISASTER.
SAN FRANCISCO, June

No disorders, excepting the most dead.
ly forms of lung disease, involve such a
tremendous destruction Of organic tissue
as those which fasten upon the kidneys
such maladies, when they become
chronic-and none are SO liable to as.
sumo that phase-cOmpletely wreck the
system. To prevent this terrible dis ister
recourse should be had, upon the first
manifestation of trouble, 10 hostettei :
Bitters, which experience has proved to
be highly effective as a means OF impart-
ing tone and regularity to the organs Of
irritation, as well as ~ the liver, stom-
ach and bowels. Another beneficial re-
suit of this medicine, naturally conse-
euent upon its diuretic action, is the
elimination from the blood of impurities
which beget rheumatism, govt, dropsy,
and other maladies. By increasing the
activity of the kidneys, 1t augments the
which are most important outlets for the
escape of such impurities.

MANvILLE GLEN.
A Romantic ids-Lovo in Tent The Homo
Of tho nLittle, Busy Bee"

We awaited ourselves, Sunday,
while at Santa Monica, of an OPP
portunity of taking a drive with q
party of friends to Manville Glen,
a romantic coigne of vantage which
pastoral man ami wife have es-
tablished miles and miles up the
Santa Monica cation. The hand
some old gentleman, Mr.. Taylor,
who owns the livery stable at
Santa Monica proper, held the
reins. He drove spanking team,
and We were presently whirling
through the meanderings of The
most devious web, called q road !,
which has ever figured in any
story save that of Theseus and
Ariadne of old. Through chap.
paral, blue and white sage Doth
the last capital bee feed), stunted
trees which were dubbed by our
guide walnut, and other trees not
stunted which were rightly called
alder, with here and there an old
sycamore and live oak, our way
lay past tho little cottage of that
patriarch Of Los Angeles bee
keepers, Mr.. Goa, until the noun
tains, closing together, transformed
the canon into a glen. Wild flowers
abounded on every hand, aud the
eilvern blossoms of the Yucca
branch of the cactus family
CLEANED clear to the the tops of
the high hilIsides. About nine
miles from New Santa Monica we
came upon the tents which, for
two years, have witnessed the joys
and sorrows and doubtless occa-
sional curtain lectures of the Man
vile homestead, which is inhabit-
ed by a young couple who have
sought health and recreation in
watching, in this secluded spot,
the "little busy bee improving
each shining hour.u
Take it for all in all, the loca ton
is a charming one for those who
love solitude. The fellow who
made a solitude and called it
peace could have achieved the
same result with no labor at all in
Manville Glen. All the same, the
cleaning waters purled there. and
the meditative and introversive
Jacques could have found in Man

And good in everythins"-
AS easily as in the forest of Ar

ever mortal ate. We found this

rounded with flowers of the cult.

charming sylvan retreat.
In a little while the horses heads
were turned homewards, and down
the steep cation we sped at u thun-
dering pace to find, when we ar
rived at Santa Monica, that we
were just two minutes too late for
the Los Angeles train.
