Don Pho Pico had q narrow es-
cape from drowning while crossing
the San Gabriel river, this side OF
toe Ranchito, on Saturday after
noon. Owing to the swollen con.
dition of the stream, his horse and
buggy were swept off the ford,
throwing Don Pho out. A Mexican

the rescue. After detaching the
horse from the buggy, he placed
the Governor on the animals back

the two were safely landed. Had
it not been for the aid rendered by
the horse, both men would proba-
bly, have been drowned.

We yesterday insps cted the holi-
day stock of the Messrs. Levin &
Co., Spring street. Their assort-
meat is simply superb and bewll-
dering from the extent and variety
of the goods displayed. Toys of
every description, from the SIM
plest to the most iDgeniously con-
trived; dolls of every shade Of COM
plexion, from the tiny e1llgy of in
fancy up to the gorgeously arrayed
and wonderfully made counterfeit
of woman, may be found OH their
shelves. Nor have the children of
larger growth been forgotten. Be-
sides books for all ages, their stock
embraces some of the most elegant
toilette articles we have ever seen.
Among these our attention was
particularly attracted by Turkey
Morocco dressing case, lined with
blue satin, which is provided with
receptacles for everything, even to
a secret drawer for jewelry. Taken
altogether, prices, variety and ele-
gance of goods from which to se-
lect, we know of no place where a
Christmas or New YEARS. present
can be obtained with more satisfac-
tion than at Levin q Co.'S.
