Mrs. M. e. Parke is at present
up in San Francisco renewing her
supplies of the latest novelties in
millinery and other specialties of
ladies' attire. Considering the
fact that Mrs. Parke is a lady of
recognized taste, with an ample
capital at her command, we are
justified in assuming that she will
present a rare array of attractions
to the purchasing feminine public
of Los Angeles on her return,
which will be in about week
from this issue of the HERALD.
Rich and rare will be the load of
the numerous shelves of Mrs.
Parke's Spring street Emporium of
Fashion on her return, and the
good public should be, accordingly,
on the lookout.
Il. ]. Harlan g. Bro. are about to
open distillery in this place.
They have just received still from
Louisville, KY, and will soon
commence the manufacture of
grape brandy. They have pur-
chased twenty acres of grapes from
Mrs. Birch, and are manufacturing
tanks, etc., in which to put the
grapes. which are now fast ripen-
ing. Mr.. l.. Harlan has been en-
gagged in the distillipg business for
number of years, and thor
oughly understands it. AT the
close of the grape season the firm
intend to manufacture whiskey
from corn, and are confident of
making first-class article. e.-Santa
Ana Herald.
The bark Frank Austin, of TAO
tons, wrecked once Oh the coast of
Vancouver Island, and owned af-
forwards in Victoria, has been sold
to Charles Lockaway for $4,000.
Her name has been changed to
Catalina, and she has gone under
the Bolivian flag. Our readers
will remember the craft very well,
and also her commander, Captain
Austin, who got into all sorts of
difficulties while putting in at
Santa Monica and Wilmington to
unload cargo OF coal not long
since.
A canning factory was put in
operation at Santa Ana on Tues
day last, and on the first afternoon
800 cans of sweet corn were put
up. -Four men and six boys are
employed in husking, cutting and
canning the corn. Santa Ana is
indebted to Mr.. George w. Pierce
for starting this useful enterprise.
Is there no George w. Pierce, or
some other public. spirited man, for
Los Angeles
Messrs. w. H. Workman and I.
Dunkelberger yesterday morning
called upon a number of our citi-
zens, and in about an hour secured
SIG additional subscriptions for
the relief OF the Southern yellow
fever sufferers. One hundred dol
lars of this sum was at once teIe-
graphed, $50 to Memphis and the
same amount to Vicksburg. In the
afternoon Messrs. Workman and
Gephardt continued to canvass,
but with what result we did not
learn.
