A Thousand acres of fine corn, al.

most in one solid body, is a goodly
sight to look upon at the Ranchito
and in its immediate neighborhood.
So far as we have been able to
learn, there has been comparative.
ly little loss by burning or other
wise of the corn crop of the valley,
and the estimate made some time
since of ten thousand acres of corn
in the valley will not, we think, be
materially reduced. The yield per
acre will be above the average and
the quality excellent. There are
fields whose average yield has been
estimated by competent persons at
100 bushels per acre. The weather
has been peculiarly favorable this
year for the growth of corn, and
farmers can calculate on good
market for their immense surplus.

Tomorrow Mr.. II. SCHNEIDER,
who has been at San Francisco
purchasing goods, will take possess.
ion of the new store just erected on
the site of his old stand and, in
day or two, will reopen with

dies, gentlemen's and children's
boots and shoes ever offered In this
city. His facilities for manufac.
turing being greatly increased at
his new quarters, he will devote
more attention to this branch of the
business than heretofore.

were shown the other day, by Mr..
Barnett, the tail, at least three feet
long, of q stingaree, hauled ashore
the other day this side of Anaheim
landing. The fish weighed between
one hundred and fifty and two hun
dred pounds, measured five

feet ocross, and its mouth was suffi-
GENTLY large to take in the doubled
fists of man. Last Sunday So

place, and were utilized for their

Judge McNealy yesterday, after
the submission of the three cases of
Cate, Grandin and Lynch against
E. M. Sanford ct al, (the Los
Nietos Water Com missioners) in
structed counsel for defendants to
prepare findings. This decision of
Judge McNealy's will sustain the
validity of the Los N ,etos Irriga-
tiOn Law, and will go one step
towards final settlement of what
has 80 long teen an open and
vexed question.
We learn that the Grange Store,
the other day, received an order
from Sacramento for five car loads
of barley. Three car loads of fif-
teen tons each have already been
shipped and the balance will go
forward in few days. This seems
very much like sending Goals to
New Castle and shows conclusively
that what our crop lacked in guam.
tity it has fully made up in quail
ity.
Mr.. Stephen H. Mott received a
telegram from Capt. w. Roberts,
