Prof. H. Sample, at his levee
yesterday afternoon. amused the
bystapders with a two and a hall
year old colt of Mr.. Stoll's, who
complained that he had tried every
means he knew of, but unsuceess'
| fully, to make the animal back.
Ten minutes after the Professor
took hold of him he was backing
the wagon to which he was hitched,
without the breechiDg.
Macedonia Valencia was brought
into town by the Deputy Sheriff OF
Azusa and lodged in jail. It APP
pears that, having taken fancy
to some horses. he proceeded in the
night to get possession OF them
and was only prevented from so
doing by receiving the contents Of
shotgun in his head and shout
ders. While proving an incon-
venient and painful wound, 1t is
not very serious one, as the gun,
fortunately, at least for him, was
only loaded with small bird shot
In a few days the people of San
Diego will receive their mail. on
time. and it will arrive in the
morning without being delayed at
Santa Ana. We are indebted to
Mr.. ). H. McKussIck, General Pos
tai Agent for the Pacific Coast, for
this much reform, and we
are glad to note that the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company will not
be allowed to embarrass us any
longer in this matter, even il the
government does have to pay for
it.-S0n Diego Sun.
The mortgage on the Horticultu-
raj Pavilion has passed out
of the hands of Mr.. Stinson. Mr..
G. E. Hubbell advanced the Socie-
ty SIS, 900 to release it, and holds
the title to the property. He will
wait sixty days for the money, be-
fore which time the Directors hope
to raise it. 1t is then proposed to
re.incorporate the Association with
provisions which will make it for
ever impossible hereafter to mort
gage or otherwise cucumber the
property.
There are seven hundred China
men in the railroad camp on the
plains, on the other side of memec-
ula cafion, idle, and have been for
about two weeks. The railroad
company will employ them if they
will leave their Chinese bosses
and work under American bosses
and buy their Supplies from Amer
lean stores, which the Chinese go
far refuse to do. The Chinese
bosses cai 10 that 1t costs them $l3
head to get them here to work on
the road, and the only means they
have of getting their money back
ia to furnish them with their own
supplies. T. M. Turner has been
trying to adjust this difficulty be-
tween the railroad company aud
the Cinnamon, with some hope Of
success. Mr.. Conklin Is the legal
adviser for the Cinnamon, who,
with Mr.. Turner have been trying
to adj st the matter.-San Diego

the evening had been spent in
dancing, games, etc, the dining
room became the center of attrac-
ton, where an endless variety of
cakes, fruits, swsetmeats and more
solid viands invited the appetiteA
of the participants. We are glad
tho ladies have made marked
financial success; for. rs one of
them remarked, "this is the first
time they have gone a-begging on
the public"
The Los Angeles Packing Conn
pany is doing great work of de.
velopment in this county: 1t has
given encouragement to our farm
ers by buying their hogs at good
figures. Having made great in
roads into the porcine tribe of Los
Los Angeles county, it's managers
lately purchased four thousand
hogs from Ventura county. They
are killing and packing at the rate
of one hundred and fifty hogs a
day, the average price of the grunt'
er on the heof being $13. During
the past year, exclusive of tht
Ventura importation, the Los An
geles Packing company has killed,
cured and packed ninety thousant
hogs, for which it paid about ont
hundred thousand dollars. WI
note with pleasure the mammoth
proportions which this modest en-
: terprise has already attained
