Mr. Edw. HOZEN, formerly of Wisconsin, aged 40 years.

John McCOY, of Lowell, Mass.
The friends of the deceased may address Alden SOUTHWORTH, Beal’s
Bar.
“Whom the Gods love die young.”
On Saturday, June 22d, 1850, at Sutter’s Fort, Miss Martha
McCLELLAND, in the 14th year of her age.
The death of a young person is always a melancholy theme. The
deceased was just entering upon the bloom of womanhood, and such were her
virtues that she was beloved by all who knew her. Amiability, gentleness and
affection shone resplendent in her character, which blended with a modesty so
pure and lovely, rendered her admired by a large circle of acquaintances.
Death has taken a favorite daughter and sister, and caused a void
which cannot be filled. The sweet flower, just budding and spreading its
fragrance around, has been snapped by the ruthless invader; but the consolation
remains, that she has exchanged this world for a happier home - eternal in the
Heavens. The service at her funeral on Sunday morning was very solemn, while
the sanctity of the day served to render it still more so.
Her last moments were calm and serene. Perfectly resigned, she
exclaimed, that she did not wish to live. “Let me die the death of the
righteous, and let my last end be like hers.”

OBITUARY - Died in this city on the 21 inst.,
of cholera, in the 42d year of his age, HARVEY D. SMITH, formerly of Hartland,
Niagara Co., New York. Mr. S. was beloved and respected by all who knew him -
his was a rare instance of that charity and kindness of heart towards his
fellow man - pure morality and patience and perseverance under necessity, that
but few who are in the hardening pursuits of a competency retain. And whether
in his various occupations in his native State, Mississippi or Louisiana -
whither he went in quest of it, or in California in mining or mercantile
pursuits, he has stood the test and come out as pure as gold as is probably the
lot of mortals to attain. But the days of his pilgrimage are over: his example
and precept can no more influence his fellow man; but his memory will never
depart from those who knew and appreciated his character. New York papers copy.
At Carricita, near Warner’s Ranch, Aug. 29th,

Coroner’s Inquest on Durie - Man Drowned
San
Francisco, Feb 15 - 1 ½ P.M.
At the
Coroner’s inquest last night, on DURIE, the daughter, Elizabeth FAUZER,
corroborated what has already been stated, and pretty clearly establishes her
father’s guilt.
Mr.(sic) Fauzer
was called, but her testimony was objected to, as it would criminate her
husband.
The inquest
was then adjourned to Wednesday evening. The funeral of Durie takes place
to-day, at 2 o’clock, from the engine house No. 5.
It is certain
that one man was lost from the steamer Uncle Sam; but his name is not given.
The steamer
Northerner arrived this morning with three days’ later dates, but no news.
