The season Of the Bijou Comic Opera
Constellation was brought to q sudden
close in this city, yesterday. by Mrs.
Marston. the prima donna, receiving in
telligence Of the death Of her son, which

Odd Fellows Hall was crowded again
last night with large and select audi
ence, assembled to hear Mrs. Matte A..

cinating and pleasing manner noticed in
Mrs Bridge on Monday night. This

success.
The opinion is becoming general
among farmers in this county that the
climate has changed considerably during
the past few years, the rainy season has
occurred during February, March and
April, instead Of October, November
and December The best crops have al
ways been produced by late rains. We
shall have plenty of rain this season.

morning on the body of Henry Camp
bell, the man who was run over and
killed by the East bound emigrant
train on Tuesday evening at the New
Depot. while attempting to board the
train when it was in motion. The testi-
mony ell went to show that the fatal
accident was caused by the negligence
Of the deceased himself. The jury
brought in verdict in accordance with
these facts.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
Los Angeles Produce Exchange will be
held ut the rooms of the association,

some twenty-five merchants in other
lines OF business, who would like to see
the Exchange enlarged in its purposes
30 as to constitute a Board of Trade in
whose proceedings all mercantile and
Industrial interests of the city may be
represented

tribute to the completeness Of that
great work whose opening volumes. de-
voted to "The Native Races" have
