Members of the Fire Department of
the city, feeling indignant that no prep
arations have been made for the cele-
bration of the coming Fourth of July,
have requested us to call meeting of
the Department at the Council Cham
bers, at o'clock this evening, to make
arrangements for the proper celebration
of the national holiday. All tiremen are
requested to attend.

Bishop Mora, who was so severely in
jured by a fall from wagon near Le-
moore about a fortnight ago, returned
to Los Angeles yesterday morning, ac-
companied by Reverend Fathers Yer
daguer, Williams and Duran, of this
city, who had gone to meet him, and
Father Aguilera, Of the Indian Mission
near which the accident occurred. The
Bishop, it gives us pleasure to state, is
rapidly recovering from the effects of
his fall and ere long, if no backset &C.
ours, will be able to resume his official
duties.
A gentleman who is thoroughly
posted rs to the crop prospects of
the county, reports that there will be
several thousand tons of wheat for ex-
port tnis season, leaving sufficient
balance on hand for our Touring mills,
and seeding purposes next winter. The
barley crop will be light, but it is esti-
mated that we shall have sufficient to
supply the demand of the Territory and
for home consumption. The hay crop is
large, and it is thought we shall not
necessarily experience such high prices
as were ruling last Winter.
The Texas editors claim that they got
the Coolest shake" from the San Fran
cisco press ever accorded to junketing
journalists. One of them remarks that
he chad been bounced off trains; seen
the barkeeper hide the free lunch when
he put in an appearance; had been
struck by lightning; was once blown up
in tornado; had been thumped by a
locomotive and had been broke at faro;
but the worst deal he ever got was from
the San Francisco press when he went
among them as a representative of the
literature and refinement of Lone Star
journalism"
The announcement of the Grand
Charity Ball to be given by the Ladies'
Benevolent Society at Turnverein Hall
on the evening of the Fourth of July,
will be found elsewh here in this morn
ing's HERALD. The ladies who have
the matter in charge are determined
that it shall be the social event of the
season. All who buy tickets, in addi
tion to the consciousness that they have
aided the ladies of this admirable So
ciety to continue their charitable labors,
will receive more than their moneys
worth i'll enjoyment. The ladies, in or
der that there may be room for every
body to dance, have secured both halls
and two bands of music for the occa-
sion. Let everybody buy tickets.
Sergeant Walter McGrath, who was
up from old Santa Monica Canon yester-
day, informs us that campers are already
on the ground in large numbers, giving
the Canon an old-t time appearance. The
campers, in conjunction with Sehores
Marquee and others who reside in the
neighborhood, intend to celebrate the
coming Fourth of July in grand style.
The exercises will open with flag raising
to be followed by the reading of the
Declaration of Independence and patri-
otto addresses. In the afternoon there
will be barbecue, under the manage
ment of Don Bonafacio Marquee. The
celebration will conclude with So
cial dance in the evening. The people
at the Canon are determined that, if
the citizens of Los Angeles are unpatri-
otto enough to allow the day to pass
without recognition, they will have a
good, old-fashioned patriotic time on the
nations birthday.
