AND YET ANOTHER - We learned to-day that a conductor
of a freight train on the Western Pacific Railroad, named Samuel YOUNG, was
killed last night at Galt Station, under the following circumstances: He was
playing a game of billiards in a saloon at that place, during which a dispute
arose between him and his adversary. High words followed, and Young threw a
billiard ball at the other, whereupon the latter picked up a bottle and struck
Young upon the head, cutting him severely. One of his arms was also broken.
LAZY - When the fire alarm sounded yesterday,
we noticed the slim condition of the “drag ropes” of the various engines. Are
our young men becoming so lazy that they will not put into practice that which
they preach? Does a little spell of warm weather unnerve them so that they
skulk along the sidewalks in the shade, while men old enough to be their
fathers are on the lines assisting to reach and overcome the fire?
HEARING CONTINUED - The two Chinamen, Ah LEET
and Ah HIM, charged with the murder of Ah CHOW, were brought before Judge
RAMAGE this morning on habeas corpus. District Attorney ALEXANDER and N. Greene
CURTIS appeared for the people, and COFFROTH and SPAULDING for the defense. The
hearing of the case was finally continued till Friday next.
WIFE BEATER - J.H. WILLIAMS, of Folsom, was
convicted before a Justice of the Peace in that place on a charge of wife
beating, and sentenced to twelve days imprisonment. He was brought to town
yesterday by Constable HILL.
IMPROVING - GRELLE, the young man who was
stabbed in the Central Restaurant yesterday morning, was resting quire easy
this morning, and hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery.
REFUTATION
- Owing to the introduction of Champagne Mead into this Market, parties
have seen the necessity of putting before the community a vile counterfeit,
endeavoring thereby to cast a slur on the same, which has been styled
“Sparkling Mead.” The component parts of Champagne Mead are patented,
and the name trade-marked. We hereby give notice that any infringements will be
prosecuted. We claim the palm as a Temperance Drink, and we propose furnishing
it to the Citizens of Sacramento, through our Agent, Mr. T.
DAVIDSON, No. 134 K st., who will promptly attend all
calls. Kenyon, Gass & Co.

AMERICAN
LOVELINESS - The beauty of American women is cause of great comment throughout
the world. Why should it not be so? They have a toilet preparation which is

discoloration, tan, freckles, leaving the complexion clear, brilliant, and
beautiful. Every lady can avail herself of this beautifying agent by purchasing
a bottle of George W. Laird’s Bloom of Youth. Sold at all Druggists. Beware of
worthless imitations. The Genuine has the name of G.W. Laird stamped in the
glass on the back of each bottle.

HANDSOME
BIRD - J. METCALF, of this city, exhibited to us yesterday a bird of the parrot
species, known as the Golden Macaw, which is one of the most beautiful of the
feathery tribe. Its breast is yellow; then comes a darker hue, which increases
in intensity until the contour of its throat is lost in a mass of feathers as
black as coal; the face is white as the driven snow, with delicate black
stripes running back from the eyes. The rest of the body is of a dark blue
color. The macaw is found in the forests of Brazil, which are
noted for their beautiful birds. It is one of the best talkers in the country -
beats all the birds that come across its path. Several ladies have started
against it, but to no purpose. Its owner says it is capable of breaking up a
whole “sewing circle.”

styles, and guarantees satisfaction.

- An unoccupied wooden structure on L street, between
Seventh and Eighth, formerly used as a pickle factory, caught fire or was set
on fire - about two o’clock this
afternoon. By timely exertions it was saved, and with it several frame houses

THE EAST - The elegant assortment of millinery displayed at the store of Mrs. MURPHY,

A CALIFORNIA RANCH -
H.J. GLENN, of Colusa, recently purchased from Edgar MILLS and L.M. CURTIS
their ranch of 12,500 acres on the Jacinto Grant, in that county. Glenn now has
a ranch of 35,000 acres, which has on it upward of one hundred miles of
fencing. What would people in England, or even in
the Atlantic States, think of a farm of that extent?
BOY SHOT AT
- A lad named THOMPSON, while returning from the Hibernicon
night before last, discovered a man working at the front door of W.F. SHIRLAND’s residence, on Second street, between N and O.
The man, on seeing the boy, made for him, but the latter got away. He says,
however, that the fellow fires a pistol shot at him.
DEATH OF A
FIREMAN - Joseph ANDERSON, a member of the Exempt Firemen’s Association, and

Asylum, has escaped from that institution.
THE FIRST -
Emile HEISCH, who suicided in San

round of suicide from this cause, and a large addition
to the inmates of the Insane Asylum.
TUESDAY
NIGHT an man named Joseph KING, and who worked for John CROFT, at Saucelito, attempted to commit suicide, by cutting his
throat. He came very near accomplishing his purpose.

GETTING BOLD
- Two men have been knocked down and robbed since Wednesday within a block of
Second and K streets. The last case occurred last evening, when a drunken man
was made to measure his length on the street at Second and L. He made so much
noise, however, that the would-be robber decamped without having got anything
for his trouble. He was pursued by officer George FAYLOR, but got away by aid
of the darkness.
NARROW
ESCAPE - Yesterday morning S.B. COOLEY, of the American Laundry, had a very
narrow escape from drowning in the river. He was taking some articles ashore
from the steamer Geni in a small boat, when by some
means he lost his balance and fell overboard. The pilot of the steamer assisted
him in getting out, or he would probably have drowned.
LAST NIGHT -
This evening the last opportunity will be afforded to see the Hibernicon, now at the Academy of Music. All who
are fond of listening to the legends of ancient Ireland, and
delight to look upon its green hills, bright lakes and crumbling castles, and
have a taste for the comic likewise, should not fail to visit the Hibernicon.
AMPUTATED -
Drs. NIXON, OATMAN and BLACKWOOD this morning amputated the left leg, below the
knee, of young CLAYTON, who was run over on Wednesday evening by a freight
train on the C.P.R.R. He passed readily under the influence of chloroform, bore
the operation well, and is doing finely.
BUTCHERS’
SOCIAL CLUB - This organization will have a good time to-morrow at the Tivoli. Among
other amusements there will be dancing, shooting, etc. No disreputable
characters will be allowed on the platform during the dances.
HOME AGAIN -
H.R. EDDY, Ticket Agent of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, returned
to-day from a visit to the East, accompanied by his wife. His health, which had
become considerably impaired, appears to have improved.
HOUSE BURNED
- A small frame dwelling on the west side of Second
street, between P and Q, owned and occupied by P. FEENY, was destroyed by fire
about half-past eleven o’clock last night.
An adjoining house occupied by W.H. LEITCH was also partially burned.

Fisher AMES was
yesterday admitted by the Supreme Court to practice in all the State Courts.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE - The Trinity Journal of
July 29th gives the annexed;
T.J. HUBBARD, residing at the foot of Trinity mountain
in Trinity valley, committed suicide last Monday under the following
circumstances: C.M. FADER and H.M. ALLEN of Trinity Center were on their way to
Shasta, and, when passing the house, Hubbard came out on the porch and said
that he intended to kill himself, and had been waiting for some one to come
along to see that it was fairly done. Messrs. Fader and Allen went to him and
finding he had a pistol took it away from him. He then got a razor, which they
also took away. Hubbard, being perfectly unmanageable, got away from them, and
while they were following him and discussing what was best to be done, he made
his appearance on the porch out of their reach, with a pocket-knife in his
hand, and exclaiming “Here I go, boys!” before they could prevent him, drew the
knife across his throat, severing the veins and inflicting a mortal wound. He
was about three hours dying, during which time he seemed to be perfectly
sensible, telling how he wished to be buried and what was best to be done for
his family. Hubbard has always been a sort of desperately crazy man, and his
self-murder is not a surprising event.
THE LATE HOMICIDE IN PETALUMA - The
Journal of July 29th gives these particulars of a late homicide in Petaluma:
Thomas CARRIGAN, well-known in this community
as a violent character, was shot and instantly killed last Tuesday evening,
between the hours of 5 and 6, by a man named Wm. H. SMITH. While in liquor Carrigan had a row with a woman named Mary KELLY, in one of
the dens beyond the Revere House. Smith
went to her assistance, when Carrigan put his hand
behind him as if seeking for a weapon, at the same time making threats to kill.
Smith drew his pistol and fired at Carrigan, but a
bystander knocking the weapon up, the shot missed. Smith fired the second time,
the ball taking effect in Carrigan’s neck, from the
effect of which wound Carrigan died in about twenty
minutes. Smith was taken in custody to await examination.
MINING IN EL DORADO COUNTY - The
Democrat of July 29th has this item:
H. LOUIS & Co., who on Friday last struck
a rich streak in their ledge on Quartz Hill, and took out in one day in the
neighborhood of $4,000, had not until yesterday done
