called to q buggy that bad just
been repainted by Messrs. Rees &
Wirsching, Of Los Angeles street
The work is first-class and fol-
style and finish will compare favor
ably with any of the kind we have
ever seen.
BY the report of Health Officer
Winston, published In the Council
proceedings, it will be seen that
there were SO births in this city
during the month of July-14 males
and 25 females, showing the extra
ordinary difference OF almost two
girls to one boy.
We are indebted to Mr.. E. M.
Hamilton, of East Los Angeles,
for magnificent water melon,
grown on his place by his new sys-
tenn of su sub-irrigation. He informs
US that his ground has not been
worked since the seeds were plant
ed, the only attention being to sup.
ply the crop with water at proper
intervals.
Peter Charles, the sailor whose
skull was trepanned by Drs. Han
non and Johnson last Thursday
and who is at the County Hospital,
is getting along finely, neither fe-
yer nor any other dangerous symp-
toms having supervened. DR..
Hannon informs us that, unless
some unforeseen scci lent occurs,
the man will very likely recover.
We direct the attention of our
readers to the card of Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT, teacher Of vocal and instru-
mental music, elsewhere. Mrs.
Stuyvesaut is recent from Cincin-
hati, where she enjoyed high
as Il teacher and vocal
ist. Messrs. John Church d Co,
of that city, ,one of the largest music
publishing houses in the United
states. cordially recommend her as
a thoroughly competent teacher.
BY notice elsewhere it will be
seen that Messrs. Edward Maud,
Otto Weyse and Rudolf g.
Weyse have entered into u co.part-
nership to carry on the business OF
wholesale and retail wine and
liquor dealers. The firm is com.
posed of three of our best known
and most responsible citizens, all
of whom understand the wine and
liquor business practically. Per-
soDs requiring anything in their
line will find 1t to their interest to
give them call.
Mr.. Thomas Rhodes and Miss Jo-
sefa Bandini we're united in mar
riage by Rev. Peter Verdaguer, at
the residence of Col. r. s. Baker,
Baker Block, last evening. The
ceremony was strictly private,
none but the eiatives of the bride,
who is a niece of Mrs. Baker, being
present. The bride is a native of
Southern California, beautiful and
accomplished, and 10 member of
one of our most distinguished Span
h-American families. The groom
is young Engiishman, who has
been a resident of Southern Cali
fornia for several years past, and
bears the reputation of being an af-
fable and courteous gentleman, of
fine business aptltudes. The young
couple, we understand, will make
their future home in Los Angeles.
WOrkmen are now engaged in
enclosing two thousand acres Of
the AIamitos rancho, for use as a
cattle range. Mr.. ]. w. Bixby, the
owner, intends to go East in Sep.
tember, and on his return he will
drain the tule land on the rancho
and SOW 1t with alfalfa. The manu-
facture of cheese on the Alamitos
will in short time be carried on
much more extensively than now,
a large cheese vat having already
been ordered. The demand for
the cheese is so great that Mr.. Blk
by finds it impossible to keep his
product on hand for more than ten
days. This fact should give en-
to our Graden Grove
neighbors who are trying to estab-
lish a cheese factory in their
neigh hborhood.-Anahein Gazette.
Alfalfa, says the Anaheim Ga
zette, grass notoriously prolific
wherever it can be grown, seems to
attain its greatest perfection In the
moist lands of this county. There
is In Anaheim a luxuriant tract of
alfalfa from which nine crops were
cut last year, and 1t Is considered a
very poor tract which will not yield
five cuttings every year. A most
noted instance of its value is shown
in the following statement: MIR.
J. w. Bixby has on his ranch in
Yorba precinct a tract of forty acres
fenced, 20 acres of which is In al.
falfa and 12 acres in brush land, on
which there is very little feed. For
the past two months and a half
there have been in this enclosure
81 horses, 5S cattle and IL bucks-a
total of 119 animals. They are in
the very best condition and the
pasturage is yet plentiful and ap.
parently sufficient to carry the
stock for an indefinite length of
time. The owner will, the coming
Winter, increase the alfalfa tract to
100 acres.
This week the ladies of the Fig
ueros Street Orphans' Home will
