1t is with deep regret that we an
nounce the death of Mrs. Alma Brainerd
at the residence of her father, at Man
chester, Iowa. Mrs. Brainerd was the
daughter of Mr.. A. r, Loomis, of Iowa,
and the sister of Mrs. S. G. Hubbell, of
this city. The sad news of her death
was telegraphed to Mr.. Loomis yester-
day morning. Her many friends in this
city tender their heartfelt sympathy to
the family in this, their sudden bereav-
ment.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of a
visit from Mr.. Charles L. Andrews, the
representative of j. Rails Uncle Toms
Cabin Company, now playing at Haver-
lys California Theatre, San Francisco,
and which will appear five times, begin
ming with the evening of the oath in

The cut worm appears to be giving the
owners of young vineyards considerable
trouble. 1t lis said that they are specially
destructive in the neighborhood of Tus-
tin, many young vineyards III that Sec
tion having been seriously damaged by
the pest. The worm seems to have
special liking for Muscat vines, as that
variety invariably suffers most from its
depredations. The Anaheim vineyards,
containing mostly Mission vines, have
this season escaped the attentions of
the worm.-Anaheim Gazette.
The best story of the season is one we
heard in Los Angeles the other day. A
lady visited the office of an architect in
that city some weeks ago and desired
him to draw plans for house which she
was going to build as soon as Orange be-

1t appeared, from subsequent conversa-
ton, that she had bought small tract
of land in Orange, the seller solemnly
assuring her that the county seat would
be located there within three months

The Lewis Bros, of the Half Price
Boot and Shoe Store, come to the front
this morning with new double column
advertisement. The reputation of this
enterprising firm is so well established
that it is unnecessary to do more than
call attention to the fact they are con-

factories in the East, which they con-
tinue to sell at prices that cannot be
competed with by any house on the Pa
ciic Coast. Everybody is invited to
call and examine their stock.

of the estate of the late Francisco Pale.
mares, of Pomona, informs us that dur
ing the past week he disposed of large
body of land belonging to the estate on
highly advantageous terms. He has
about completed the sale of another
tract of thirty acres for $1,000. Mr.. Sc
pulveda, who was out at Pomona yes
terday, says he never saw barley and
wheat look better than they do there
and at Spadra. He thinks there will be
a heavy crop of barley and fair aver
age yield of wheat.
Last Tuesday the residence of Rapeto
Valenzuela, on the Ranchito, caught
fire and was entirely consumed. 1t ap-
pears that the parents, in the excite
ment of attempting to save their prop
erty, forgot their infant child until the
portion of the house in which it had
been left was enveloped in flames. 1t
was then too late to rescue the child
and the poor creature perished in the
flames. An eyewitness says that when
