yesterday, informed us that the work of
grading for the winery of the company
of which Mr.. j. de Barth Shorb is Presi-
dent, near the Five Mile House, is
nearly completed. To-day grading for
the side tracks from the railroad will be
commenced and next week the brick
makers, will start in to make brick for
the building.
We are gradually bringing the HER.
AID, in its new Dress up to the standard
of mechanical excellence we had pro-
posed to ourselves. Next week., when
we shall have secured the grade of paper
on which we intend to print it in the flu
ture, with the steady advances which
we are daily making in the press-work
details of impression, we shall be able
to present our readers with almost the
handsomest daily printed west of the
Rocky Mountains.
Amongst the genial visitors to our
sanctum yesterday was Mr.. w. H. Nor
way, the indefatigable and peripatetic
Deputy United States Surveyor. Nor
way has been up in the mountains of
late; and, while his complexion is of the
cheerful and ruddy character which the
scriptures ascribe to King David, it is
chipping off, owing to exposure to the
sun. This devoted son of toll will re-
main with us for some days. We hope
his experiences will be pleasant
A prominent exc Confederate officer liv-
ing in Washington, says the Star of that
city, started out the other evening to
find man servant. He met cookbook
ing colorea man, and asked if he could
recommend good servant. The colored
man regretted that he could not. "What
are you engaged at" asked the ex-Con-
federate; "why can't l employ you ?"
81 am not doing anything just now, !"
was the reply; 'but l expect to have a
seat in Congress in a few days. My
name is Lynch, and | am coatesting the
seat of General Chalmers.
That this county is prolific to an un-
known extent no man can gainsay. Yes
terday morning gentleman had driven
in from his ranch; and, while passing
along Main street, in front of the Jail, a
swarm of bees began to alight upon his
wagon. Its occupants were obliged to
vacate their seats, and the matched
team"-a horse and mule-was UNI
hitched. The operation of hiving the
bees consumed some two hours, and was
an attraction to the passing crowd. Mr..
Brush, of East Los Angeles, acted as
master of ceremonies.
The first of the Raymond & Whit
comb excursion parties from the East ar
rived in Los Angeles by special train, con
sisting of seven Pullman Palace Coaches,
with necessary baggage cars, at g O'Clock
last evening. The party are now in the
fourth week since they left Boston, hav.
ing stopped at all places of interest ell
route. Mr.. Whitcomb, who has person
al charge of the present party, informs
us that the trip thus far has been very
pleasant, not a single accident having
occurred to mar its pleasure. To-day
the excursionists will be driven to the
Sierra Madre Villa and to all other places
of interest in the San Gabriel valley.
The Cucamonga ranch has for years
been one of the most famous vineyards
in Southern California. The ports an6
| other wines made there have long stood
at the head of the vintages of this State,
have passed into the cellars of bon
ciuants in the leading cities of thu
United States, and have not been with
out warm recognition even in Europe
We understand that gentlemen repre-
senting a very considerable capital are
now in Los Angeles, who are negotiat
ing for the purchase of this valuable
property. It's owners are the Messrs
I. w. and |. NJ Hellman, j. G. Downey
and Ben amin Dreyfus. Should TIN
purchase be effected it will be at a rount
price.

zen of Hibernian descent made his aI

his hand an invitation to mortal com

STEEL The gore-desiring hero cor
cludes as follows: 81 cannot rejoice i

carnadined, so to speak, as a result {
this tragic episode.
