Southern California SATURDAY...JUNE 29, 1873 CHAS. A. GARDNER...Edr & Propr. A SUNDAY GLOSING MOVEMENT: An informal meeting of the clerks of our Anaheim stores was held last Thursday evening at the office of the Fee Co., in Enterprise Hall. Nearly all the stores were represented, there being present Fred Langenberger and Adolph Rimpan, with Langenberger & Co., Frank R. Lafaucherie, Max Neberlung and J. K. Bryan, with Heimann & George Thomas I Fauke with Calisher & Co., Albert Rimpan with Goodman & Rimpan and Morris Steinhart of the firm of Steinhart & Bro. Fred Langenberger was appointed a Committee to draft Resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, and Messrs F. Langenberger, Frank R. Lafaucherie and T. I. Fauko a Committee to call upon the merchants and request them to join in a mutual agreement to close their stores on Sunday. The Committee called on the merchants yesterday, and we are happy to say were entirely successful in their mission, securing the consent of all to the arrangement. Following is the agreement signed by five firms, and it is verbally agreed to by two others, who have not signed, viz Philip Davis & Bro. and Steinhart Bros. AGREEMENT: NEW ADVERTISEMENT.

AGREEMENT: We, the undersigned do hereby agree to close up our respective places of business on Sundays, on and after the 14th of July 1872. This agreement shall hold good until such a time—that if any of the undersigned intends to open on Sundays, he shall notify the others, when it shall be optional with them whether to open or not. HEIMANN & GEORGE; GOODMAN & RIMPAU; LANGENBERGER & Co; M. CALISHER & Co; P. A. CLARK. ANAHEIM, June 21st. 1872. We are glad that this reformation has been effected, and the young men who have engaged in it deserve the thanks of the people of Anaheim for breaking up a practice that has long been a reproach to us. It is not right, in any respect, to continue business for seven days in the week. It is bad business policy to say the least to have no day of rest. Employees need it, and they are entitled to it. No man can enter upon the discharge of his duties on Monday morning with the same zeal and freshness, if he has worked the day before, as he would if the Sabbath had been properly observed. There is, of course, the same amount of trade, whether done in six days or seven. Thanks are due to the merchants for their praiseworthy readiness in co-operating with their young men in this movement. We congratulate all parties concerned upon escaping from a practice which is demoralizing to all and works a great injustice besides to the principal victims—the clerks. All will be better for the change. The customers of our stores will therefore please bear in mind that on and after the second Sunday in Whoever has lost a horse had better read the notice headed "Found;" THE DEDICATION. The magnificent Masonry building, now being completed here, will be solemnly dedicated to its high and holy purpose on Monday next, 24th inst., at 2 o'clock, P.M. It will be an impressive occasion, the consecration of a new temple to the service of that great order whose mystic ties reach all around the world, and whose far-off origin dates away back into the days of Solomon, the King. Let those who love the inauguration of good works, whose hearts are with the beneficent and the charitable, and who rejoice in the accomplishment of every good purpose, attend and witness this dedication. It will be a proud day in the history of our young town. The Lodge cordially invites not only members of the order, but citizens generally to be present at the dedicatory ceremonies. Los Angeles City and County Directory. We have been favored by the publishers, Messrs Waite & Beane, of the Los Angeles News, with an early copy of this work, which is just issued from their press. It is a neatly arranged volume of about 100 pages, containing business directories of the principal localities in the County including the city of Los Angeles, El Monte, Anaheim, Gallatin, Wilmington, Santa Ana and San Jose. Short descriptions are also inserted on Los Angeles, Gallatin, Anaheim, Lexington, Wilmington and Compton. Several imperfections appear in the work, as might naturally have been expected from a first attempt, but on the whole it is a very creditable volume, and besides its present interest will have an additional value as the years go by, as a record of what there was in our County in this year of grace, 1872. It is a comparatively large under taking for any of our local office to go to the expense necessarily for their praiseworthy readiness in co-operating with their young men in this movement. We congratulate all parties concerned upon escaping from a practice which is demoralizing to all and works a great injustice besides to the principal victims—the clerks. All will be better for the change. The customers of our stores will therefore please bear in mind that on and after the second Sunday in July, (the 14th prox) no Anaheim store will be open on Sunday—they will. "Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy." COOPERS' STOCK. The high prices at which coopers' stock is held, has very much injured the business of our Anaheim coopers for the present year. Staves, which last year could be had at $200 to $250 per 1,000, cost now $620 delivered here, and this necessarily makes the price of pipes so high that they cannot be sold. The staves are shipped from New York to San Francisco and the supply on this coast is held principally in wholesale, we are informed, by Albert Dibblee and Ross Dempster & Co. It may be a nice thing for these gentlemen to make a corner in such articles and raise the price to an ordinate figure, but it is paralyzing to a very important branch of inland business and has the effect of almost entirely 'drying up' one great branch of productive industry. The N.Y. Tribune clears $160,000 per year. The Southern District Agricultural Association. The Los Angeles Express of Saturday last has the following: The next regular meeting of the Association will take place on the 1st of July at which all the directors, trustees and stockholders are expected to be present when a speed programme and parmesan will be arranged, and also a catalogue of premiums to be given. In the meantime, the directors invite correspondence at once from all parties contemplating active participation in which they will state what animals and what articles they propose to exhibit together with suggestions as to distances ages of animals purses to be given the manner of races etc., so that, in the arrangement made regarding the offer of premiums and other inducements, all friends and patrons may be generally accommodated and satisfied. The greatest care will be taken in the arrangement of the speed programme while the most favorable inducements will be hard out to owners of near demos the stock of every kind to make a public exhibition. A commodious hall or pavilion will be selected for the exhibition of agricultural and pomological specimens; an mechanical handiwork, of which due notice will be given. This latter will be made a special department to which the people from the counties are expected to contribute. Fruits: vegetables, flowers, wines, mineral specimens, painting, drawing, tapestry, articles of manufacture, specimens of home mechanism, etc., etc. will be received and appropriately deposited and caused for. Correspondence from every part of the district is solicited, all of which will receive prompt and respectful attention and response. Letters may be directed to L. J. Rose, Esq., the President of the Association; or to Ben C. Truman, the Secretary; or to any of the stockholders in this city, among whom are Dr. Griffin, Dr. Winston, Gov. Downey, P. Brandy, Dr. Edgar Gen. Dunning, Judie O. Melvony, Miners Perry, Johnson, many others. This correspondence may be kept up from now until October. It is to be hoped that our people will take a lively interest in the objects of the association and en- DICATION.

City and County Directory. Even favored by the towns Waite & Beane, News, with an this work, which is just press. It is a neatly made of about 100 pages, business directories of realities in the County city of Los Angeles, Heim, Gallatin, Wil-Ana and San Jose. Maps are also inserted of Gallatin, Anaheim, Lexington and Compton. Sections appear in the naturally have been a first attempt, but is a very creditableides its present inter- additional value as as a record of what County in this year relatively large under- of our local offices expense necessarily Letters may be directed to L. J. Rose, Esq., the President of the Association; or to Ben C. Truman, the Secretary; or to any of the stockholders in this city, among whom are Dr. Griffin, Dr. Winston, Gov. Downey, P. Brandry, Dr. Edgar, Gen. Penning, Judge O. Melvany, Messrs. Perry, Johnson, many others. This correspondence may be kept up from now until October. It is to be hoped that our people will take a lively interest in the objects of the association and endeavor to make the coming fair as complete an exhibition as possible, of the agricultural and mechanical products of the country. These fairs are productive of much good in a variety of ways. Stock is improved, a healthy interchange of ideas effected, people made better acquainted with one another and with the resources of their country, and a strong incentive is furnished, by a generous rivalry, to excel in every thing pertaining to the farmers' domain. It will also be observed that a special department is to be assigned to the use of mechanics. We have some excellent workmen in Anaheim who doubtless might exhibit specimen of their own craft with credit to themselves and the enlargement of the ideas of others. A Los Angeles Conundrum. A member of the Los Angeles bar (some relation, we believe of the Court Commissioner) being about to be married at the Monumental City, his friends now perpetrate the following, just before taking a drink: Why is J—L—like the Democratic Party? Because his fate is about to be decided at Baltimore. A New Magazine.—We have received the first number of the Science of Health, a new publication just started in New York, by Samuel R.

The well known ability and A NEW MAGAZINE.—We have received the first number of the Science of Health, a new publication just started in New York, by Samuel R. Wells, 389 Broadway. Its subscription price is $2 per year; single copies 20 cents. As its name indicates, it is devoted to sanitary questions and the best means of preserving the health of the human body. The well-known ability and great popularity of its publisher is sufficient guarantee that the new magazine will be rendered worthy the patronage and perusal of all. We shall take occasion to publish some selections from its pages next week. Litigants are advised not to be frightened into giving their patronage to "organs" by the fear of illegality. The Alta and Union each have District Court legals given them by Judges who are supposed to know fully as much as the editors of these pap-sucking organs.—Alpine Miner. The vessel which arrived on Tuesday evening in San Pedro Bay, and supposed to be the bark Fremont, proved to be the brig Merchantman.—Star. High old set of navigators at Wilmington, not know the difference between a bark and a brig. We suspect that they will, one of these day-, mistake a locomotive for a mudscow. Los Angeles School Children.—The gentleman who is now enumerating the children of Los Angeles, between the ages of five and fifteen years, informs us that the number will be about 2,000.
