Day before yesterday Mr.. e. c.
Glidden, sewing machine agent,
made an information before Jus
tice Fisher charging Reginaldo
Valenzuela, who had acted as cam
vasser for the sale Of machines,
with embezzlement, the alleged
crime having been committed in
March last. The warrant was
placed In the hands OF the Sheriff,
and he. learning that Valenzuela
had taken the stage at santa Ana
for San Diego, telegraphed to the
Constable at San Luis Rey to ar
rest the accused when he arrived
at that point. Yesterday the Sher-
i'll received q dispatch informing
him that Valenzusla was in eus-
tody and would be brought to this
city by the next stage.
In the interview which q report.
or Of the HERALD had the other
day with Mr.. ]. E Hollenbeck we
sscribed to Mr.. G. P. Huntington,
of the Central and Southern Paci.
6c Railways, the remarks which
were made by Mr.. A. @. Hutchin-
son, of Morgan's railroad ami ship
lines, OF New Orleans, with whom
the combinations have been made
to carry of our wheat crop. With
this slight difference Of personali.
ty, the thing is substantially the
same, as Mr.. Hutchinson ia the
recognized agent of the California
railway msgnates. The great
matter Of interest to our people is
tn 1t an authorized representativ
Of this grand combination talks so
enc ,uragingiy of our transporta-
tion concerns.
Mr.. Yapp, whom we last met in
the Silverado mining district, has
returned to Los Angeles, after q
sojourn of three years In Arizona.
BY the way, we learn that the Sill.
verado district is likely to come
into great prominence shortly.
Capitalists who know what they
are about are en- route there. The
only disadvantage Of these prom
icing treasure deposits Is that they
are not located thousands Of miles
away. Notwithstanding this
draw back, the day is not distant
when they will be thoroughly ham
died, with the result of . large
treasure output. 1t will be pleas
ant to Los Angeles newspapers to
be able to record big bullion de-
livery from mines located in the
southern portion Of this county.
Gen. Phiness Banning is en-.
gagged in the compilation Of q
work which will show to the world
the special advantages Of VIII.
mington harbor. The General is q
1iterateur of decided ability, and
We bespeak for the HERALD ad-
vance sheets of his Interesting
brochure. As the genial Admiral
of our only port 10 making about
$40 600 month, from lightersge
aud other royalties, he Can afford
to issus the work in y style of un-
exampled aplendOr. When 1t is in
print the Jealous editors Of San
Diego Newspapers will be wild
with envy. Gen. Banning aud
Capt. Eads are the two progressive
Americans of the age. The only
difference between them is that
the General has a good thing in
p,0senti, while Captain EHds's
Nicaragua ship railway is decided
ly in Juturo.
City Justice Adams was engaged
the greater part of yesterday after.
noon In hearing the case Of Robert
Brown, arrested for stealing a val.
liable guitar from Mr. Thomas
TEN pie, which he sold to a Mexi-
can In SonOratown for So Mr..
Temple testified that he had paid
$50 for the instrument six years
ago aud considered 1t worth that
sum, II not mote, ut present, rs all
stringed instruments, when care
fully cared for, as this one had
been, improved with age. Brown,
IL will be- remembered by readers
of the HEKALD, was convicted
several months ago OF stealing
billiard balls valued at SIS from
a.. E,,,ta;n o.lnnn far N, IN oh D. q.
served q term of 80 days In the
chain gang and subsequently a
second term for drunkenness. In
view Of his previous conviction for
larceny, the Code m aking q second
similar offence q felony, the ac-
cused was recon mitted to Jail, in
default of $500 hail, to await trial

The HERALD during the psft
Fall, has shown decided disposi.
ton to stay out OF the weather
prophesyipg business. In the be-
ginning Of September last we an
nounced that We had formally re.
tired from the role of weather
prophet, which We had filled 70
long and successfully. We sur
rendered our robes of office to the
Messrs. Potts, Warner, and others,
who had proved such egregious
failures in the past. Sincs the of

passed out of our hands Into those
Of these gen Iemep, they have
proved such lsmentable failures,
that we have relented; aud for
once, at least, assume the pro
phetic iole. We deliver our judg-
nent in this shape, viz: IL will
probably rain pitchfOrks before
New Years and will certainly rain
copiously within the next ten
days. As the HERALD, duriug
four years, has never Jailed in a
prophecy with regard to the rain
fall, 1t behooves all teuf.rs 10 get
out their states and pencils aud
concentrate their rattention on this,
our latest outgiviDg. They will
