FRIDAY MARCH 19, 1875. LOCAL BREVITIES. There whs a slight sprinkle of rain yesterday morning. Remember the Wheeler Troupe play at Merced Theatre to-morrow night. Mr.

I. W. Hellman contemplates a visit to Germany In the Spring. It rained yesterday at Spadra, Downey and San Fernando. The San Bernardino Argun calls its squibs "Lokelitems." Miss Jennie Leys will lecture in San Bernardino next Sunday.

The Vivian Troupe will play in Wilmington to-night and to-morrow night. Dominguez was yesterday found guilty of house-breaking in the County Court. The steamship Orizaba has brought another load of that maple sugar and syrup at the Grange Store. The steamer Senator arrived yesterday bringing 100 passengers and 260 tons of freight. The Orizaba sailed yesterday at 2 P.

M. with 105 passengers and a large amount of freight. Mr. Lanfranco contemplates the erection of a business block on the corner of Spring and Court streets soon. The saloons are to be closed at 12 o'clock midnight, hereafter.

An ordinance published this morning makes the action of the Council a law. We learn that parties in San Francisco have made an otter to purchase all the crude petroleum furnished in the San Fernando district. The bark Vidette, Capt. Boyd, arrived yesterday, nine days from Port Madison. She brings railroad niaierial.

Now that the Texas Pacific Railroad bill has gone over till next Winter, San Diego is consoling herself with the thought that there will be a new treaty with Belgium. The Express is in a sad quandary not knowing whether to reject advertisements or reading matter. Let us have good reliable advertisements, neighbor. Los Angeles Council No. 11, Royal Arch Masons, will meet next Monday evening.

Business of importance wil I be transacted and it is desired thajfc. all members attend. An Eastern correspondent asks bowmany lawyers there are in Los Angeles. We refer the problem to some member of the High School who is well up in mathematics and knows how to calculate the mvsrerious value of X. In taking elevations for the pro- Sosed extension of the main sewer, Ir.

Hansen made the somewhat astounding discovery that the Agricultural Park is 32 feet lower than the bed of the Los Angeles river at the Southern boundary of the city. Sam Prager did come back yesterday just as we predicted, and he made our word good by bringing one of the most gorgeous stocks of fine goods ever lauded in this city. It was Sam's goods that made the Kalorama so long coining down on her last trip. W. H.

Prager, who bored the oil well on the Temple claim, was in the city yesterday, and appeared elated over his success. He deserves great credit for his perseverence, and we congratulate him on the magnificent results he has achieved. McFaddeu of Santa Ana, have shipped by teams direct, about sixty thousann pounds of bacon, lard, Panamint during the last week, all of which was contracted at paying rates. Every part of the country begins to feel the beneficial effects of these mines. The Chronicle of the 16th T.

Tarbox, the ostensible proprietor of the Los Augeles Distillery, and Lucieu Curtis, have been arrested on a charge of violating the revenue laws. They have been admitted to $10,000 bail each. A preliminary examination was waived, and their cases will be submitted to the next U. S. Grand Jury." The attention of our readers is directed to the advertisement of Messrs.

Dillon Kenealy, which appears this morning. These gentlemeu have rented the store formerly occupied by Samuel Prager, on Los Angeles street, and propose to open iv It uext week the only exclusive dry-goods establishment in the city. Both members of the firm come to our city well recommended and we bespeak for them the highest consideration of our business men and the Los Angeles public generally. Fisher Thatcher the jewelers, have taken twenty thousand dollars stock in the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad. They give as a reason for this large outlay that they will get their money back in one year in the reduction on the price of the bullion they work up in their jewelry factory.

To those who visit their establishment and see the immense quantity of and pins they are constantly manufacturing, this will not seem unreasonable. They have a number of cunning artificers who do as fine work as can be turned out in the United States. Excursion tickets to Artesia are now issued by the Los Augeles Immigration and Land Co-operative Association, and a free conveyance for visitors from Norwalk to Artesia and return is provided on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The new school house at Artesia is rapidly approaching completion. The artesian well is flowing nicely and another is sunk by tbe company.

The Mayor presented a communication bringing charges against the police for insubordination in taking their prisoners before a Justice of the Peace Instead of arraigning them in the Mayor's Court, as required by resolution of tlie Council.

By this means tiie city is deprived of a considerable revenue in the fines paid by criminals. Communication placed on lile, and ordered that tiny policeman who hereafter brings an arrested party before a Justice of the Peace instead of the Mayor, be discharged from the force. The Board of Public Works presented a report recommending that Fort street between Second and Fourth be graded. Report adopted and notice of inteutioirordered to be published.

A similar petition was presented by Messrs. Ronton and Temple. Both were referred to the Committee on Lands. The regular business having been concluded, the usual onslaught was made on matters and "things" when our reporter tied. Hope's Hallucinations.

Two days since we noted the fact that we were in possession of an official list of the drawings in the late Louisville Lottery, which was open to the inspection ofall interested parties. We will admit that our apparent generosity was not unsullied by a grain of we expected some holder of a lucky ticket to come in, find that he had drawn twenty or thirty thousand dollars and, iv the fulness of his heart hand us over a thousand for a souvenir. But although some fifty ticket-holders have called upon us siuce the publication of the notice we have yet to acknowledge the first perquisite not even a bit, a "smile" or cigar has fallen to our lot. It was the same sceue enacted over with each new inquirer: enter jubilant and hopeful; call for the list smilingly; examine it earnestly, perhaps nervously; fold it up gloomily; hand it back despondingly. Then would come the doleful word, "Nothing!" The inquirer at this juncture invariably handed out his worthless ticket with a flourish, and smiling grimly said, Want it?" That was all the remuneration we received, and we have learned by sad experience not to put our trust in lotteries or lotteryticket holders.

All parties are now notified that the "official list" has been burned up. COURT REPORTS. District J. Tuksday, March 10.
