| calleu W tB0 CaTTlake Vi the t1dlH-
ilton House, near Pasadena. 1t
was made by the Messrs. Maloney
& Flnnessy, of this city. 1t is
a model of neatness, durability and
style. The struggle of the builders
was evidently between strength
aud lghtness, and the happy mean
was accomplished in Il way that
showed that these gentlemen are
artists in their line. The question
of Home Industry, when it takes
the shape of such vehicles, made
by Los Angeles hands, every de-
tail of which was manipulated in
this city, is no longer an open one.
1t Is n fact accomplished. We have
inspected the elegant stock of that
far famed Eastern manufacturer,
Brewster, and we confess that we
have never seen anything from his
hands which, even in finish and
elegance, exceeds the work turned
out by these home manufacturers.
The work of the Messrs. Maloney
& Finnessy has in addition, a merit
which cannot be claimed for the
Eastern manufacturer. Every
thing that enters into the con-
struction Of q carriage or wagon
made by them is specially adapted
to this climate. The wood Is seas
oned here, and the precise Vstrain
and degree of friction encountered
on our local roads are understood
to a dot by this enterprising firm.
The Angeleiio who orders u car
riage, buggy or wagon from the
East or from San Francisco, when
he can patronize such thorough
home artizans, not only lacks pub
lie spirit, but throws his money
away.
Ladies', drop into the Bazaar and
see that line of summer silk which
they are just opening; also those
imported ladies suits at away down
prices for cash only. Isaac Norton
& Co., corner of Main and Requena
streets, opposite the U. S. Hotel.
The attention Of our readers is di-
rected to the column advertisement
of the Bazaar, corner of Main and
Requena streets, which appears in
this mornings HERALD. The
Messrs. Isaac Norton & Co. have
just received one of the largest and
most varied stocks of ladies' goods
ever brought to this city, embrace
ing silks of all qualities and colors,
linens, domestics, suits of the latest
styles and, indeed, everything that
enters into perfect toilette, either
for the street or house. Their stock
of gentlemen's and boys goods,
comprising suits and furnishing
goods of the newest fashion, boots,
shoes, hats, etc., Is perfect in every
detail. These goods having been
bought for cash, the Messrs. Norton
& Co. will sell at astonishingIy low
figures. Intending purchasers, cs-
pecially the ladies', will consult
their own interest by visiting the
Bazaar before buying elsewhere.
Those Of our farmers who had the
good judgment and the means to
hold on to their corn crop of last
year, are now realizing the fruits
of their foresight. What with the
shipments to Mexico Of the Messrs.
Hellman, Haas & Co., and the de-
mand at San Francisco well filled
crib is n sure bonanza. We heard
of u farmer in the Southern part of
the county who is now marketing
his three years crops, Tor which he
is getting the high prices for which
he has so long waited. OF another
of the same section, who has just
sold his last years crop from 40
acres for $4,000. Our informant
states that the county is filled with
agents of San Francisco houses
who are buying up all the surplus
corn for shipment to that city.
Professor Cunning arrives on
this mornings steamer and will de-
liver course of lectures on Geolo-
gy in this city. The San Francisco
Chronicle says of him: "From first
to last, without break, his speech
flowed on with the irresistible rush
of full-blossomed river. His
facts are marshaled host there is
no outstanding, and his perora-
tions are poems in themselves. No
lecturer has been so successful in
our CITY,"
There was quite q hegira of for
mer boarders at the Pico House to

lily, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter s. Max

Moore and Mr.. Crittenden, of st.
Louis, and daughters, all of whom
except Mr.. CrittendeD, who returns

mer at the city by the sea.
Those who wish to purchase
Beatty's celebrated solid rosewood
pianos and Golden Tongued organs

load of these superb instruments
will arrive in thirty day, and every

The building committee of the
Horticultural Society last Saturday
received and opened fourteen pro-
positions to sell real estate to the
Society for hall location. About
half of the bids were rejected and
the others were taken under advise
ment. The Committee meet again
next Saturday at O'Clock, for the
purpose of taking final action.
