completed at Gen. Bannings ship yard,
Wilmington, was successfully launched
On Monday evening at about 7 o'clock,
in the presence of almost the entire pop
ulation of the town. This lighter has
the largest carrying capacity of any of
the Generals fleet, being able to carry
an entire schooner load of lumber, and
is pronounced by competent judges to
be grand success. 1t is understood
that now this vessel is off the stocks

We learn from the San Diego papers,
of the 10th instant, that Mr.. S. w.
Craigue, formerly of the firm of Lips,
Craigue & Co., this city, has disposed
of his interest in the wholesale liquor
business to Messrs. Steiner, Klauber &
Co., of San Diego. The San, in speak
ing of the transfer says: "Mr. Craigue
came to this city in 1869, and built the
brick store corner of Fourth and X
streets, where he established his whole
sale liquor business and built up an en-
viable and lucrative trade. He has
made many friends both in the city and
county who will regret to hear of his
giving up business, but rejoice to learn
that he retires with competency, and
leaves his effects in such COED hands,"
By notice elsewhere it will be seen
that the Taylor Comedy Concert Com
pany and Professor Address, with his
world famous trained semi tropc
birds, will give entertainments at Turn
verein Hall on Friday and Saturday
evenings and Saturday afternoon. The
birds of Professor Address are spoken of
by the press of the Eastern cities as the
most wonderful and best trained ever
exhibited, their intelligence being SIM
ply marvellous. On Friday ev ening a
free exhibition will be given, when a
Roset Cocakatoo will wheel its COM
panion in wheelbarrow along string
drawn from one side Of the street to the
other. We bespeak for this combina-
tion, which is one of the most meritori
Gus that has ever exhibited in Los An
geles, crowded houses.
Some idea of the advantage of the
railroads to Los Angeles producers may
be formed from the fact that, on
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of last week, 10000 pounds of
new potatoes, besides other fresh vege-
tables-principally string beans, toma-
toes and green peas-to about the same
amount, were shipped per Wells, Fargo
& Co. s Express to points in Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas. This is inde-
pendent of the goods of the same nature
shipped by E. German & Co. and other
commission merchants to their branch
stores and agents. In addition to these
shipments of from two to three tons of
all kinds of green vegetables-the bulk
being new potatoes, tomatoes, peas
and string beans-are shipped by ex-
press to San Francisco every day. Last
evening two tons and half of garden
truck" went North and about the same
amount goes East this morning
