Mr. Goodman of the dry goods firm of Goodman & Rimpau will go to San Francisco some time soon to buy goods. Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Company will soon make another contribution to Anaheim, and another exhibition of their enterprise, by the erection of a grain warehouse, 40x80 feet.

The congregation feels much encouraged at this result and hopes to take steps toward the erection of a church without much delay.

We understand that day before yesterday a large bald eagle swooped down upon and attempted to carry away the 8-months-old child of Mr. Fithian, who lives near the foothills.
