Colony for Los Angeles.

We clip the following regard to a colony now being organized at Buffalo, New York, to emigrate to this county, from the press of that city, of date 25th:

A second meeting of the persons who are organizing for a settlement in Southern California, was held in Hersee Hall on Saturday last. It is proposed to purchase a tract of land in Los Angeles county in the vicinity of the orange groves and vineyards of that locality. Two tracts, one containing 2,000 acres and the other 5,000 acres, are under consideration by the colony. They are situated on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, midway between the cities of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, and are reported to be supplied with living water, as well as artificial means of irrigation. The colony propose to send a prospecting committee of three persons, upon whose report will depend the future operations of the organization. If a purchase is made of either of the tracts offered, the colony will be reimbursed with the expenses of the committee in the first payment of purchase. It is expected that every member of the colony will be furnished with one passage from Buffalo to California, and reduced rates secured for all. Another meeting will be held to-morrow evening at the same place.
