purpose to-day.
The Messrs. Levin & Co. hav
laid on our table "The Youths
Health Book" one of Harpers
Half-Hour Series. 1t lays down
rules for the preservation of health
in a pleasant, entertaining manner
and is an invaluable guide as to
how one should live.
Mr.. Hart, who has commenced
the manufacture of soap in this
city, left with US yesterday some
specimens of his soap, which,
judging from its appearance, we
would pronounce TO be an A arti-
Gle and ought to come into general
use among our citizens.
The Promenade Concert at Union
Hall last evening was not as large
ly attended as we should have
liked to see, but otherwise the en-
tertainment was decided success,
the programme having been rem
dered in an exceptionally meritori-
Gus manner.
The entertainment at Good Tenn.
plars' Hall last night for the bene-
fl Of the Good Templars' Orphan
Asylum at Vallejo, was largely at.
tended. Lack of space precludes
detailed mention, but we are con-
strained to say that the whole en-
tertainment was we'll rendered, the
performers being perfect in their
respective parts.

900 feet of lumber for Perry, Wood

be connected with the Southern Pa
cific here, is filling q similar posi-
ton on the same railway.
Mr.. Oscar Macy, who has re-
turned fro m visit of some weeks
duration at San Clemente Island,
informs us that fully 5000 sheep
persisted there last season on &C.
count of the drouth. About 1000
still remain OH the Island, all of
which are in flourishing condi-
ton, the grasses being very lux
uriant.
A gentleman from Yuma informs
US that the weather at that point
is about 100 warmer than at this
time last season. The Inhabitants
are at loss to account for this
freak of the weather clerk as, from
the oopious rains of the past season,
and the present luxuriant vegeta-
ton, they are entitled to lower
temperature than that of last year.
Those of our readers who wish TO
spend a pleasant day in the coun-
try should not forget the Copgrega-
tional Church excursion and picnic
to Andrews Station to-day. The
cars leave the old depot, corner of
Commercial and Alameda streets,
at 81 o'clock this morning. Tick
cts for the round trip, for adults,
are only ST. so; children, so cents.
A delightful time will undoubtedly
be had by all who attend.

tlemen have given Mr.. Woolf tile
option of modifying the plan of the
building should that location be
found suitable for the Supreme
Court.
