A LAD named Fielder Brown, aged
about 10 years, who resides with
his parents OH Charity street, be-
tween Second and Third, on Fri
day, met with an accident that
came near proving fatal. The boy
was leading horse that had been
recently purchased by his father,
to the stable. The animal reared
and struck him on the head, knock
ing him down. While down the
horse stamped upon him, breaking
several teeth. By great activity
young Brown managed to get away
from the Infatuated brute, otherwise
he might have been stamped to
death. The only injuries he sus-
tanned, besides those enumerated,
were q number of severe bruises
which will confine him to the
house for some time.
1t is perhaps lamentable thing
that we cannot always have the
California Legislature with us.
By Wednesday our people will be
mourning the fact that it is no
more, but their grief will not be of
that intensely Penseroso character
which don't admit of any consola-
ton whatever. The Legislature
has done one mighty good thing
in giving us sessions of the Su-
preme Court. That act, like char
ity, should cover IL multitude of
sins to the average Angelefip.
Mr.. Lankershim informed us
yesterday that the flour mill which
he and Mr.. Van Mugs are about to
build on the property recently
bought by them from the raiIroa d
company, will contain eight run OF
stones, with II grinding capacity of
from 200 to 225 barrels per day "f
twelve hours and of 400 barrels
when run twenty-four hours pei
day. The work of putting up the
buildings will be commenced just
as soon as the formal transfer OF
the old depot property is made.
In the match game of base ball
for the Linde Championship Prize
at Boyle Heights yesterday,
between the High School and
Acamedy clubs, the High School
boys came off the victors by a
score of Is tot. A. G. Smith acted
as Umpire and G. Mallard, of the
Academys, and Maurice Hellman,
of the High Schools, as scorers.
The game was well played through
out and lasted two hours and fif-
teen minutes.
Wallace Leach, EST, of San Di-
ego, passed through Los Angeles
the other day. Wallace just missed
being legislator at the last cleo
ton. If he had succeeded in span.
ming the narrow margin which
separated him from the goal at
which lie aimed, that body would
have rtjoiced in u member whose
ricochet eloquence would have
touched about everything under
the sun.
In the base ball contest between
the Dauntless and Nameless clubs,
at Boyle Heights, yesterday, the
game was won by the former, by a
score of 2S to 81. A. Hosmer, Jr.,
acted as umpire and P. &. Shafer
aud b. a. Yorba as scorers. The
game was very exciting and closely
contested from commencement TO
finish.
Mr.. l.. Harris, of the Quincy Hall
clothing store, who has been in
San Francisco for some days, lay
ing in his Spring stock Of gentle
goods, returned to the city yester-
day. Mr. Harris assures us that
the goods purchased by him are,
without exception, the ''nobbiest'
ever brought to Los Angeles.
Last evening Mr.. Clancy, late
county jailor, died at his residence
on Hill street, from consumption,
with which disease he had been
afflicted for II long time. Mr..
Clancy was an upright citizen,
and his death will be regretted by
large circle of friends. He leaves
wife and several children.
What is to prevent Los Angeles
County from being great boot and
shoe manufacturing center? The
hides in illimitable quantities are
here, we have the wild sumac to
tan them and nothing but u will is
needed-the way is easily found.
But perhaps it is bootless to dis
cuss this matter?

gospel temperance lecturer, will
