and instrumental music and tab.
leaux vivants, in which the young
ladies and gentlemen who took

bly,. Altogether the social was

having spent a most delightful
evening.
The festival Of the Baptist Sun

Hall, Christmas night, was en-
joyed by q large audience. The
programme of vocal and instru-
mental music was we'll rendered
and gave general satisfaction. A
dramatic version of Mother Goose,
improvised for the occasion, was
then given, tie graphic manner in
which the characters were person.

AT the conclusion Of the perform

We had the pleasure Of a call
yesterday from Mayor Andrus, of
Oakland. He is a brother-ln-law
of our popular fellow citizen, Mr..
Tom Goss. Mr.. Andrus is a genial
and Intelligent gentleman, the
possessor Of good deal OF personal
magnetism and q Workingman
who does honor to the party. The
party reciprocates very heartily by
hoporing him whenever it gets a
chance, having twice elected him
Mayor of Oakland and done its
level best to make him Lieutenant.
Governor of the State. He will re-
main amongst us till Wednesday,
stopping at the residence of his
brother.in-law He goes hence to
San Diego, on mission which is

Mrs. Ames and Mrs. Reed, arrest
ad on a warrant for arson, were
brought up yesterday afternoon in
Justice Baldwin's Court Tor exam
ination, when they complained
through their attorney, Col. East
man, that they had been illegally
detained In durance, as the officers
who arrested them did not, in ao-
cordance with the words of the
warrant, bring them at once before
Justice of the Peace; and they
further demanded an imm ediate
examination. The prosecution
was not ready and wanted until to
morrow morning. This the de-
fence strenuously objected to and
the Judge decided that ii the prose-
cution could not go on with the ex-
animation at once he would release
the prisoners on simple parole to
appear before him this morning at
ten o'clock for examination.
For true Oriental gorgeousness
of costume we commen to the adj
miring gaze of our citizens the
splendid dress in which Professor
Savarie, the celebrated bard of the
cracked violin. will to-day make
his first appearance. 1t is q COM
pound between Spanish Custom
House officer and a London
beadle's dress, and the Professors
bearing will both appear chivalric
and martial by means of pair
of gigantic spurs and a wooden
sword. He has accepted high Of
fee, not that of City Tax Collector
though, and it is considered i'm
perative for the welfare of the con.
Germ that he should appear in as
dazzling a manner as the tailors'
art can make him. The gay and gal
liant knight will to-day be very sug-
gestive of Don Quixote redivivu.
The preposterons report having
been started that DIR. Winston is
not pacticing physician, that
gentleman has provided himself
with indisputable evidence of the
falsehood of the statement. He has
not only practised his profession in
Los Angeles, but he has done it in
u most generous and unselfish man.

opposition to take to gentleman
who has diplomas from two of the
most famous medical colleges of
the United States. The intent of

of DR.. Winston can establish the
factthat he comes within even the

years of his residence in Los Ange-
