 The leading trustee of the school, MT. R. F. House, was born in Hadd4m Neck. Connecticut When q small boy he weut to sea and the end of four years found him in South America. In 1866, he re turned to the United States. He left New York in 1867 on the steamer Arizona, for Gal ifornia by way of the isthmus. At Pana- ma he took the steamer "Golden City, and arrived in San Francisco ill Novem- Der of that year. In 1868 he was employ ed by the Central Pacific railroad as con- ductor, and afterwards by the Southern Pacific railroad, until 1876, when he pur- chased property in Pomona His orchard contains five hundred and forty seven orange trees, forty lemon, and two hun dred lime trees, besides large variety of other tropical fruits. When MT. House arrived in San Francisco he had about ten dollars today his property is rated in the tens of thousands.
 The Pomona photographer, whose moth- CT was reared in Connecticut, has in his garden 1O5 varieties of roses 365 bou- quets can be plucked from the yard dur ing the year. Fifty boxes of flowers have been sent east in the last month. Some specimens of the Sofrano, Black Prince, King of Battles, La Franc, etc, made the long journey to Conn. in Jan., but we hear they were frozen ere they reached their destination, and the blossoms fell from the stems when lifted from the box

 The valley is made alive with agricultu- rists who are moving the gang blow in all directions. Some gang blows consist of eight single blows, with pair of horses to each blow, and managed by one driver who rides on pony in the rear. Grain is sowu before the land Is broken. It costs $2 50 per acre to SOW and blow in large tracts. It is true, as has been written, that squirrels, gophers, and owls live in the ground. The owl being either too indo- lent or incapable to dig his own dwelling, finds the squirrel oongenial companion. The badger is not stanger here. The coyote is a specie of wolf and wanders around foothills.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., Feb. g, IS

Washington, D. C., Feb. g, 1884.
 The toilers on Capitol Hill have been wrestling with the intricacies of Mexican land grant titles during the week, and talk ing about copyright; the suppression of pleuro- pneumonia among cattle the erec- tion of congressional library building i; and removal of the naval monument on Pennsylvania avenue, at the west entrance of the capitol grounds, to more suitable locality. As usual on bill day, number of new and old measures were presented in the house, and the introduction of the long expected Morrison tariff bill marked the week in that branch of congress. It came under the title of ''An act to reduce import duties and war tariff taxes" and makes a twenty per cent. reduction on numerous articles, while in a few cases the reduction is greater or less than this rate While on the avenue the other day my attention was called to men wearing con- spicuous blue badges. Close scrutiny of their gilt lettering proved that the wearers were delegates to the long heralded Mis- sissippi river convention, and set out for Lincoln Hall, arriving in time to see the opening proceedings. The scene in the auditorium was striking. Placards bear ing the name of states divided the hall in- to sections, and the delegates were ranged according to their states. They represent ed population of twenty eight millions, the area of country between St. Paul and New Orleans, Pittsburg and Denver, and were finer, more substantial looking body of men than that in session on Capitol Hill. In the rear of the stage was stretch ed large canvas bearing record of the amount of tonnage carried by a Mississip- pi river steamer followed by the words eff you tell this to congress be sure to add that with an improved channel this record of work could be increased forty per cent. without increase of expense. This means benefit to the producer" MT. Ford of New Orleans called the meeting to order. The secretary read the call of the conven- tion, a chairman was selected, Commis- sioner West of the District of Columbia welcomed the delegates in brief address, and the convention then proceeded to business

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.

Pomona, Los Angeles Co.,, Cal, Feb. Z, 's4
 THE PRESS We gre not strangers in 8 strange land. It is common occurrence te meet, as I call them, second handed friends. Not second handed in value of friendship, but in order of acquaintance, for friends to people here have in many cases been friends of ours in the east. The question is often asked, "Do you know Mrs, --- of Conn. p 70 yes" is the response. "She is sister of mine (or cousin, or an aunt.)" So another friend is added to the circle, and with whom the misfortunes of snow-bound New England CTS are frequently discussed.
 On my way by rail to Los. Angeles City few weeks ago, chancad to share seat with school teacher, and in conversation learned that her parents were from the Nutmeg state. Her father, F. A. Palmer from Stonington, and her mother, A. s. Stoddard from New London. On reach ing the city I was taken to No. 10 Fort-st Finding ibis number marked a store build ing aud the doors wide open, I entered un- ceremenisqsly, at the same time observ- ing that the gentleman behind the morn ing paper back of the counter much re- sembled the extensive family of Thomp- sons. I was not mistaken it was Mr. Nel- sen Thompson, recently from Stafford Springs, Conn. afr. Thompson says his health has much improved since coming here, and is positive that the climate is most agreeable. I believe he intends to send for his family soon, as it is not good for nsq's to live alone, even in thia Garden of Eden,
