LARKIN: Dear Madam: — After hearing your scientific course of lectures we feel that you deserve the highest recommendation as a lecturer and physician. Your ladylike deportment in handling physical and mental anatomy of the human species; the uses and abuses of ignorance, that fill mothers' untimely graves, make us feel that the information derived from your able lecture is invaluable, and we would heartily recommend you to all ladies wishing information in regard to health. Believing you to be a noble friend of suffering humanity, we cordially bid you God speed. Your undoubted capability in handling intricate subjects enlists confidence in your ability to both instruct and relieve. Believing this we respectfully sign ourselves your friends. Mrs. N.

The following is a list of letters remaining in Wells It has been suggested that before the Ioad Commissioner commences work on that portion of the Anaheim Landing road between Brackett's and the Wilmington road, the route be changed so as to make a straight line between the two points. Mr N. Palmer, who recently purchased a part of the "Mott" tract, near Santa Ana, will soon commence planting 5,000 blue gum, and about the same number of locust and other trees. Mr P. is a firm believer in the general utility of the gum tree. Both of our hotels are full to overflowing. Steinhart, of the "Anaheim," like the good man of old, hath nowhere to lay his head. The spectacle of a hotel-keeper skirmishing for a bed is calculated to awaken the sympathies of a cucumber and draw tears from the eyes of a potatoe. Charlie Hille picked up a human skull on the Anaheim Landing road a few days ago. He supposes it to belong to the serving-man of Harry Polhemus. So many skulls, belonging to that unfortunate individual, have been found lately, and found in such a monotonously similar manner, that we positively refuse to believe that he ever had a skull. The Presbytery of Los Angeles held its annual meeting in the Presbyterian church at this place on Thursday and Friday. We understand that quite a full attendance was present, and that every congregation with the limits of the Presbytery was represented. A report of their proceedings will be given next week. The Planters' Hotel. Since the recent change in the management of the Planters' Hotel, it has been the intention of our reporter to call the attention of the public to the many improvements which have been made therein; but circumstances, which even control and encumber the actions of a news-gatherer, have prevented him from sooner carrying out his intentions. Shakespeare hath it, "It is a kind of good deed to say well," and as our soul delighteth in doing good, especially when little personal exertion is required in the performance, we will endeavor to say a few favorable words of the hostelne in question, and if anght that we write will contribute a mite to the popularity of the Planters', we are certain that our roaders will rejoice as heartily as we do. In order to write understandingly it was necessary for us to visit the interior of the hotel, and to that end we sought an interview with Frank R. Lafaucherie, the "Co." of the firm. Those who have had occasion to do business with Frank, will appreciate the difficulty we experienced in our search for him. A long and intimate knowledge of his habits, however, enabled us to overcome difficulties in our search, which to a stranger would have appeared almost insurmountable.

GOUJET — CASSEAU. — In Anaheim, March 21st, by J. W. Clark, J. P., Joseph Goujet to Mary Jane Casseau. For the very best Photographs, go the firm. Those who have had occasion to do business with Frank, will appreciate the difficulty we experienced in our search for him. A long and intimate knowledge of his habits, however, enabled us to overcome difficulties in our search, which to a stranger would have appeared almost insurmountable. Having been told that he was last seen walking in the direction of Anaheim Landing, we took a diametrically opposite course, and found him negotiating for "reserved seats" in Clark & Austin's Book Store. Having intimated our desire to be conducted through the hotel, he readily acquiesced, and under his chaperonage we made a thorough inspection, and came away satisfied that under the management of Messrs. Higby & Co., the Planters' which under the administration of friend Fischer had gained such an enviable reputation, would in nowise deteriorate. Most exquisite taste has been displayed in the refurnishing of the house. The bedrooms, parlors, and vestibules have all been carpeted, and when we say that Aaron Smith, the famed carpet caterer of Los Angeles, was given carte blanche in this department, the reader will perceive how useless it would be for us to attempt a word in praise of his handiwork. Suffice it to say, that it seemed to us that more than ordinary pains must have been bestowed in this important particular, the happy and harmonious blending of colors denoting the hand of the master. Firm in the belief that the turnpike road to peoples' hearts and pockets lies through their mouths, the culinary department receives especial attention. To say that "the table is supplied with all the delicacies of the season," is a very expressive and also a very venerable saying, therefore we will not use it, but quote instead the language of Byron, slightly altered—"great plenty, no formality, large cheer." Between $2,000 and $3,000 have been expended by Messrs. Higby & Co., in the rejuvenation of the hotel, and in view of the many improvements that have been made, we should judge that the expenditure has been made... the season,” is a very expressive and also a very venerable saying, therefore we will not use it, but quote instead the language of Byron, slightly altered—“great plenty, no formality, large cheer.” Between $2,000 and $3,000 have been expended by Messrs. Higby & Co., in the rejuvenation of the hotel, and in view of the many improvements that have been made, we should judge that the expenditure has been made most judiciously. It is needless to remind the intelligent reader, that the prosperity of a town which seeks to rise by the influx of new settlers, is greatly furthered by having in its midst a house of entertainment where prospective settlers may be made comfortable whilst looking for a permanent location. Such being the case, all well-wishers of Anaheim have cause to congratulate themselves on having two such establishments as the “Planters” and the “Anabeim.” Sometime ago, the Los Angeles Express, in noting the fact that Mr. Higby had leased the hotel, felicitously observed that if there was anything that he could not do well, they were not aware of it. From what we have seen of the gentleman, he enacts the part of “mine host” as if to the manner born, and is one of the few good men, which the proverb tells us is a necessary qualification in a hotel keeper, and cannot fail to become extremely popular with those whose good fortune throws them upon his hospitality. We predict for the lessees a large share of public patronage, and a consequent plentitude of coin.
