CITY INTELLIGENCE Baolt Burned.— About one o'clock yesterday morning a girl known as "Carrie," who works in the Louisiana Saloon, on Second street, be- tween X and L, met with a serious accident, the i particulars of which are given as follows: Shortly before the hour mentioned, the saloon having been closed, she retired to her room, which™ is in the same building as the saloon. While hanging up some clothing, or otherwise busied with a candle in her band, in a portion of the room where a number of dresses, etc., were hanging, the articles caught tire from the light and were soon in a blaze. She tore them down, and in endeavoring to extinguish the flames set fire to the dress upon her person. About that time Robert Kelly,proprietor of the saloon, who had been to another saloon near by. came home, and seeing a great light in the girl's room and bearing her calls, went to her assistance. Not having anything at hand with which to smother the flames, he endeavored to pull the burning apparel off", and finally suc- ceeded, but not until both of his hands were very severely burned. Dr. Simmons was called in and proceeded 'to give the sufferers all the relief possible. Tbe girlwas found-to have had her neck, both shoulders, back and arms shock- ingly burned.

The schooner was worth $7,000 ; insured lor $3,500. It is raining very lightly this morning. They have a first-class sensation in tue shape of a haunted house on Fremont street, near Folsom. Several families have been driven out by the unearthly noises, and persons, including a policeman, testify to seeing distinctly the ap- parition of a man at which they clutched and lound no substance. A number of newspaper men went there last night, staid several hours and heard plenty of unearthly noises.

[SECOND DISPATCH.] The Extension of Montgomery Street— Wreck— Velocipedes White Pine Mine— Assault— lied Men. San* Francisco, January 10th. The work of extending Montgomery street across Market and through diagonally to How- ard will be commenced this week. The old ftvisiefs on the line of extension on tbe south side of Market will be sold for removal on Sat- urday. The wreck of the bark Brignardello has been rolled over on he side during the last storm and the houses on the deck swept away. Her masts were cut away to-day, and the hull will be blown up by torpedoes to save the wood and fastenings, some day this week. Numerous velocipedes ridden by Frenchmen appeared ou the .Cliff House road to-day. They frightened many horses, and were generally- voted a nuisance. Itis rumored that one of the largest mines in White Pine is to be incorporated in New York, the owner believing he can dispose of the re- quired amount of stock there to much better advantage than here. John Kelly, a longshoreman, was brought in during the night on the charge of assaulting people with a butcher-knife in a drunken frenzy on Kearny street.

Editors: Your San Francisco cor- J respondent, under date 4th January, furnishes ] your paper with a very spiteful and untrue par- agraph referring to me. He says : " The i Sheriff had orders to close the Builders' In- j surance," which is simply untrue and without j the slightest foundation. He says, also, that { "Judge Pratt, in rendering his decision, made a scathing review of the company, including a sketch of Mooney's principal operations since his arrival here from Australia." There is no mistaking the animus ot this writer and cor- respondent of jours. Judge Pratt did indeed attack the company from the bench and insinu- ate that it was insolvent, etc., but my " opera- tions since I came here from Australia" were not alluded to by Judge Pratt ; and ifhe had done so he must have said, ifhe told the truth, that I built up hundreds of houses for poor men in this city which they never would have had but for me, and that I saved the people of this city and State half a million dollars a year by the lowering of rates on insuiance; that policy holders who have insured in the Build- ers'have not complained to the Judge nor to any other person respecting the operations " of the undersigned ; and your correspondent, therefore has nothing to justify him iv his re- marks. Respectfully, Thomas MoOjTBT. San Francisco, January 8, 1869. The Late Council at Sacramento.— The fol- lowing fullrecord of the doings of this body is taken from the San Francisco Pacific of last week : "Whereas, we have been called to advise con- cerning the dissolution of the pastoral relation now existing between Rev. 1. E. Dwinell, D. D., and the First Church of Christ, Sacramento, in view of his having been called to accept a Pro- fessorship in the Pacific Theological Seminary ; and whereas we have listened to a full state- ment of facts bearing on the proposed change from Dr. Dwinell, from a Committee of the Church and Society, and also from various members of the same, and from Rev. Dr. Stone, who appeared on behalf of the Trustees of the Theological Seminary ; therefore, Resolved, That whatever may be our present advice, we regard the early establishment of a Theological Seminary as of vital necessity to the best interests of religion on this coast. Resolved, That we are unanimously of the opinion that the selection made by the Trustees of the I'actic Theological Seminary, of the Rev. I. E. Dwinell, D. D., tor the First Professorship in that institution was, in itself considered, pre- eminently fitting and judicious; but with the definitely expressed opinions of prominent rep- resentatives of the First Congregational Church and Society of Sacramento before us, with re- spect to anticipated seriously unfavorable con- sequences of Dr. Dwinell's leaving them at the present time, and withno positive evidence that Dr. Dwinell wishes the connection broken, but that he only desired to be guided in the path of duty; and weighing, also, carefully, the relative claims of the Theological Seminary at its pres- ent stage, as compared with those of the Church with which Dr. Dwinell has sustained so pleas- ant and useful a connection fjr the last five years, we are unhesitatingly of the opinion that a dissolution of the pastoral relationship, under present circumstances, would be inexpedient; therefore, Resolved, That while we regret that we cannot command the desired services of Dr. Dwinell in our first theological professorship, for which we seek a Christian scholar of similar spirit, taste and culture, we congratulate the church on the continuance of those valuable services in the field where they seem to have been so much appreciated, and to be so much desired ; and we pray the great Head of the church, that He willadd his blessing to tins decision, which, we trust, is in accordance with His will, and that He willgreatly reward thelabors of His servant, and largely increase the strength and Christian influence of the beloved church over which be is called to preside. . Sax Francisco. These items arc from the San Francisco Bulletin of January 9th : Friday the following persons were examined by the Commissioners in Lunacy and pro- nounced insane, to wit: Maria 51, Thompson, single, age seventeen, native of New York, teacher; forgets everything; cannot tell her own name ; wants to do good by not eating, for fear some one else should want the food; cause of insanity, affection of a vital organ. Patrick Donohoe, laborer, married, age forty-two, native of Ireland; been eighteen years in California; incoherent: afraid he is to be killed; supposed cause, domestic trouble. This morning a young bear kept in the cellar of a »etstu::rat.t on Washington street, nearSan- some-rgot loose ami came up the stairs into the dining-room, which was lilted with customers. The sudden appearance of bruin caused a gen- eral panic, and the place was instantly vacated. The bear ran out on the street and charged along as ifanxious to regain its native wilds in the shortest possible time, but his owner suc- ceeded, after several efforts, m capturing him. The animal offered no harm to any person while 2t liberty. Hot Creek (Sby.) The Austin Reveille thus comments en 'he prospects of this mining dis- trict It is probable that after the excitement con- cerning While Pine subsides " withinits banks," the numerous districts in the southeastern part of the Stale may receive some attention trom some of those who have been brought to Ne- vada by the fame of White Pine. Among the neglected districts Hot Creek is known to pos- sess a number ol valuable mines which, if in- telligently and judiciously managed, would prove remunerative investments. The same may be said of Danville, Empire, Reveille and other districts in the southeast. We have had applications lately for information respecting Hot Creek, and in" order that those who desire it may obtain it accurately and promptly, we refer them to D. P. Walter, who is located" per- manently in that district. Walter is in a posi- tion to give precise and reliable information of the mines or other property of Hot Creek, and tboso who wish for advice respecting the dis- trict cannot do better than to apply to him, Fire in San Francisco.— The Alta of Jan- uary 9th records the annexed : About half-past twelve a. v., a fire was dis- covered in a frame building in the rear of St. Maiv's Hospital, on Rincon place, between Bry- ant and Harrison streets, owned by the Sisters ot Mercy, and used as a stable and bay IoH. The alarm, which was sounded trom Box 56, was promptly responded to by the Fire Depart- ment i but there was treat difficulty in obtain- ing water. The building, which was not in- sured, was entirely destroyed, together with its contents. There were in the stable at the time two fine horses, valued at $1,000, which were burned, although strenuous efforts were made to rescue them- One portion of the building was used as si store-room for trunks and baggage of the Hospital patients, and nearly all the con- tents ot this room were saved. No cause is sis- signed for the fire, but it seems to have been the work of an incendiary, as no one connected with the Hospital had been in the building lor six hours previous to tbe discovery of the fire. A noRSE Thiei».— The Napa Reporter of Jan- uary 9th chronicles the subjoined account of the stealing of a horse and the result: Mrs. Yount, of Vountvillc, in this county, had a vainable horse stolen from her premises on the night of the 26th of December. Sus- picion rested upon an individual of the name (real or assumed) of Tom Paulmantieur, em- ployed by her a few days previous to the lar.- ceny and who disappeared at the same time. Acting upon this suspicion, officers Wuldcnand McGct started in pursuit of the hombre, who was overhauled by McGee in Berrycssa valley. The horse was found in his possession, and the prisoner was bound over to answer. . _ Citt Treasurt.— The following is the regular weekly statement of John McClintock, City Auditor, of the operations of the City Treasury during the week ending January 9, 18*39 : Balance onhand last report $36,397 SI Receipts for the week...... 5,501 41 Total... 841,1*91* 72 DtSDCRSEMESTS.

[correspondence or UNION.] Carson (Nev.), January 8, 1869. Legislators -;r/^. -v always feel competent and hold themselves s in readiness to celebrate the holidays, and therefore both houses adjourned yesterday until j Monday next. Little business in the way of bills is ready for action, and the wise men deem ' it unnecessary to meet again before that day. The organization was effected on Monday last without delay, though considerable caucusing j and logrolling were indulged a few days pre- ceding. The presumption is that a crew of i modern law-givers would not feel comfortable through the session were it not prefaced by a scrimmage for places* for friends. It seems almost incomprehensible that young, able-bodied men will hang around Legislatures session after session, a pick and slim living for the long intervening periods, and bring up each time without anything but the scant qualifica- tion of mere ability to fill the positions they, seek. Men who make a practice of seeking minor positions about public bodies soon be- come little more than cyphers in community. They beg and supplicate for positions that "if obtained can last but a few weeks. If half the zealousness were manifested to secure and ably fillprivate positions of permanency, more cash and comfort would be realized, and a vast amount of cringing avoided. Committee clerk- ships are sought more ravenously than a clerk- ship in a well-established mercantile firm, and porter and pageships more pitifullybegged than alms by professional mendicants. Among members of legislative bodies there seems to be both sense and commendable ambi- tion in getting placed at the bead of Commit- tees. Ifinterest in the public welfare will not spur them to dutiful action, their pride may do so; and again, ifa man be inclined to "see", something more than bis good works, his posi- tion may enable him to compass more of the wherewith to procure grub and liquids. The Committees are not all appointed yet, in consequence of the undecided-claim of £. B. Hazard to a seat as Senator from Lincoln county. He was duly elected in pursuance of a law of the State, but as that statute gave the Senate more than half as many Senators as tbe whole number of Representatives which the Consti- tution forbids— and the Senator from Lincoln was elected in pursuance of that he is held to be an unconstitutional member and must not be admitted, without it can be demonstrated that twenty 13 a number not greater than one-half of thirty-nine/ Honorable gentlemen have se- riously undertaken this mathematical feat, and some have already convinced themselves that twenty does not exceed the halt of thirty-nine. The Senator applying for a seat is a Democrat; but so fur as the discussion has proceeded no disposition is manifested to exclude him on par- tisan grounds. The Senate stands, without him, fifteen Republicans and four Democrats, and with him theminority would constitute only one-fourth. The Election for Fulled States Senator to fill the term succeeding the 4th of March next, will come off next Tuesday, and there 13 not a doubt of the re-election of W. M. Stewart. A caucus of forty Senators and Representatives met on Tuesday evening and voted unani- mously for Stewart, and itis certain that seven or eight more are known to positively prefer him, so that from forty-five to fifty votes are sure, and it would not surprise me if every member, Democrats and all, votes for Stewart. Certain itis tbat for once no coin or greenbacks will be used to purchase or influence Senatorial voles. Tbe wise and potent remarks of certain ones that Stewart would not have so easy sail- ing as his friends anticipated, are no more heard, and the golden visions of those hoping for coin encouragement will have to least on visions only. It is surmised that this State of the case is crushing on a few. It is much to the credit of this site that for once a Senator will be elected without any other influence than the wishes of the people. Stewart has been a most active and faithful and successful advocate of Nevada's interest, and it is doubttul whether his place could be so well filled by any of the men aspiring to the position ; and his record on national questions ot current issue is clear, and has the approval of the mass ofhis constituents, as shown ' in the retent election. Senatorial elections heretofore in this State have been the subjects of national scandal ; this one will be free of unfavorable comment. . The House of this honorable Legislature have refused to elect a Chaplain, but yesterday extended an in- vitation to all ministers to call round and rattle off a prayer tor tbem. One comical cuss of the body suggested— on the outside— that the action arose out of the feeling that pervaded the mem- bers that some kind of pious aid was needed by all, and that by giving all the gospel peddlers a chance the requisite article might be secured, A few years ago the worthy Chaplain uniformly put up a single petition, which was this ; Oh! Lord, give these men that wisdom tbey so much need. Amen." This oblation has always been commended, and it would be difficult to improve upon it. Its brevity and aptness make it witty and valuable. The* Senate . elected a Chaplain tbe first day. and ho is sworn in and putting up petitions at the opening of each day's session. it is rather .. plea^t and harmless custom, which is an ahrOst universal one, and to not ob- serve it provokes unfavorable remarks, and the State's dignity is impaired abroad if not at home. Truo piety is no*, shown by prayers, vet it is doubtless promoted by them, and whenever a body of men decide by tlieir votes that they do not car? to hear prayer, itis not very exalted testimony in behalf of their trustworthiness in trials of real principle. The New Orleans Battle anniversary is not being specially celebrated. A ball and lesser festivities are the programme. Both branches of the Legislature adjourned over, partly on that account and partly for want of prepared business. The theater will run under the Beatty management, and probably sundry ones will glorify the day by getting tipsy and making tbbmselves iidiculou-, if not subjects for official attention. Stewart's friends are keeping "open house" at tbe Ormsby, and I hear that a certain gambler is entertaining Ins callers with most excellent wines, and checks —for the cash. The high-toned gamblers want a heavy license law enacted, and wine is sup- posed to put law-makers in a kind and accom- modating mood. But this nth of January cele- bration ought either to be abandoned or the days upon which other equally important bat- tles were fought and won, and with them the nation's life saved, receive some distinction. Small affairs such battles are now considered, and our history now is filled with immense bat- tles in comparison to that, and whose import- ance is no less. The day upon which the Mon- itor met the Merrimac should be accounted at least as worthy of Ipstjvo distinction as January Sth. In celebrating the latter day Democrats will joinin and feel happy; in the former their spirits would not be so volatile, and some would eyen oarpingly say that it were an unkind refer- ence to "the late onpleasantness." Excepting tor a tow battles in Mexico, Democrats have no heart to publicly celebrate any occuring since that memorable one of General Andrew Jackson. The Weather Is worthy of favorable uotice. The Winter, so tar, has been remarkably agreeable. Save New Years and the day following no heavy winds have visited this place, and but small flurries of snow. This forenoon it is storming in the Sierras, and the wind is quite fresh, with flying clouds occasionally obscuring the sun. The weather is a subject of general praise. S. Honolulu,— From the Gazette of December 23d we take the following: The brig which we reported last week as having come into port on the morning of ] the day of our publication, in a state of j distress, proved to be the American brig 1 Constantine, A.F. Riedell, master, two months t from Onoulaska, via Alton, which latter place she left on November 20th, bound for San i Francisco. From that time up to the beginning of December, the brig experienced extremely severe weather, the wind for the most part blowing a severe gale from 1 the southward, varying E. S, E. to S. S, W. . On Friday morning last, S. A. Comstook, who bad been for about two years living on one of i the guano islands, committed suicide on board i the Kamehameha V., off Diamond Ueud. The ' act was committed by shooting himself in the J bead, tho ball ontoring on the right side and coming out on the opposite side. Notwith- i standing that the brain was thus perforated, he lived several hours, though evidently insensible, i He was a native of New London, Connecticut, i married here, and had sailed in the whaling ' business from this port for a number of years, The cause of the rash act is not definitely 1 know but it would appear to have been pre- ' meditated. Echo, Utah Territory. We findthe annexed J in the Salt Lake Reporter of January 3d : ( John Holland, Deputy United States Marshal ' at Bear river, has arrived, in the city, and re- ' ports that the railroad company have laid out a new town at the head of Echo. Canyon, and in- tend: erecting a depot there at once. ;-' Wells, Fargo &Co. are putting up a stable, and will soon connect with the railroad there. There is considerable rush from Bear River to the new town and few removals from Echo City, . ' THE LONDON TIMES ON PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S LAS MESSAGE. [From the London Times of December 10th.] | The abstract of the President's Message brings us to tbe end of a great political strug- gle. This is the last time Johnson will address a message to Congress. The yearly session opened on Monday, and in March next the President will retire to make way for a sue- i cessor who accepts, though in a temperate spirit, and perhaps with the reservation of a certain independence, the policy of the Repub- licans. Tr.ese have won the victory and will rule legally and constitutionally where they have for tour years past ruled by the vigorous , action of Congress. But Johnson will, it seems, meet his political demise without any I concession of bis own opinions. He will prob- ably not take a leading part in American poli- j tics after his term of office comes to an end. As a general rule the ex-Presidents have been strangely ignored by their couutrymen. To have attained the highest post in the republic seems to exhaust the political influence of a j man. The message vindicates Johnson's policy con- cerning reconstruction. The four years he will have spent at the White House have been the most important in recent American history, j with the exception of those ot the late war, and j we are anxious to see what will be his defense at the close of such a career. How far the pro- cess of reconstruction may be modified in practice depends, no doubt, on the personal opinions and the independence of character of j General Grant. As lar as legislation is con- | cerned the Republicans have attained their ut- most desires, the South is at their feet, and the legal 'power exists to reconstruct it according to the most extreme theories of the Republican leaders. The military officers, however, have for the most part shown a moderate and kindly spirit, their zeal being far less fiery than that of ! the popular orators ot the North. General Grant is a soldier, and said to be one of the j most temperate in his opinious, as sir as j can be judged from his cautious action and his sparing speech. The practical application of the reconstruction Acts will, to a great ex- tent, rest with him, and though itis no doubt his duty to execute them honestly and loyally, yet he may do much to reconcile the Southern people to the Union by the general moderation j of his conduct and by prescribing strictly the limits beyond which the Federal Government will not coerce them. Our correspondent in I his letter published yesterday remarks that theoretical reconstruction will end with the i admission ot Virginia, Mississippi and Texas ; and practical reconstruction will not begin until the new President gets into office and can put into operation a different and perhaps wiser policy than either 61 those heretofore Dived so vehemently by Congress and President John- son." Yet Johnson does not shrink, even at this extreme term of his power, from counselling an Act of the most decided i character. The message expresses tears of a" coming Indian war, but favors reduction in the army by the withdrawal of troops from the South. The Republicans have relied on the army for the maintenance of their policy in the South, and (or the due progress of reconstruction. To take the regiments which are keeping order in Louisiana or the Carolines and send them to fight the Indians would be, in the opinion of the Republicans, and, indeed, of all the world, the abandonment ot all that Congress has been struggling for during the last three years. This paragraph of the mes- sage seems to promise anything but a cessation of the war between the President and Congress during the next three mouths. The Congress is the old Congress, for the new one does not meet till the 4th of March. Thus, by the sin- gular, and, as it seems to Englishmen, the faulty mechanism of American institutions, a super- seded President and a superseded Congress will govern and legislate lor three months, while their successors look on powerless to control a single action. The President advocates, not without cause, a reduction of expenditure, the early resumption of specie payments and the contraction of the paper currency. It is not difficult to divine tnat financial questions will be among the most momentous for the United States during the next few years. The resources- ol the country are, indeed, inexhaustible, and there can be no fear that all difficulties will be surmounted in the end. But for a time there will be a certain amount of pressure, for the debt is immense and the financial system is antiquated, clumsy and particularly burdensome to industry. No won- der that the oaief of the executive" has to de- nounce frauds on the internal revenue. With such splendid temptations to misbehavior, the most honest officials might be corrupted. Th* part of the message most interest -»~ ' [0 English- men will,however, be that which declares thai the negotiations with respect to the Alabama are not yet complete. On this subject we have already upoken, and the public will be glad to await further details. We need only say that our Government has shown every desire to bring these matters to un arrangement, and it is difficult to believe that either the President's Cabinet or the hostile majority in the Senate will thwart a settlement which has been arrived at or alter so long and laborious a negotiation. « Nevada County. We take the appended local intelligence from tbe Nevada Transcript of January 9th : Thursday night the store of McNulty, Hagarty & Co., at Moore's Flat, was entered", the safe broken open and robbed of between six and seven hundred dollars. The parties first at- tempted to enter by the front, and afterwards wont to tin; rear of the building. They here cut through' the brick wall opposite the bolt of of the door and entered the building. They then went to work upon the safe and cut through the outer casing of iron, which was. M eighth of an inch thick, dug out the composi- tion, and then broke the chilled iron, three- eighths of an ich thick, with a crow bar. and cut through another sheet of iron an eighth of an inch thick, making an opening just over the money drawer large enough to admit a hand. The safe wa3 a Tilton &McFarland, combina- tion lock, and weighed about 3,000 pounds. The work was evidently done by experts at (ha business. They must have been al work a long time, as yvholp candles that were left in the Sticks were burned' out. No strangers were seen in town for several days previous' to this robbery. On 'Wednesday night the store of Patrick Bohannan at Eureka wax entered and robbed. The supposed robber went to bed at Robb's Hotel, got up during the night, and taking his candle went to the rear of the store. He el- lected an entrance and passed by the sleeping apartments of half a dozen people in the store. He robbed the drawer ot $1-1 in coin, and also took two meerschaum pipes. He went out by the same wayhe entered without being heard". Atwater & Knotwcll are running a prospect tunnel into the Blue Coat diggings at Woolsev's Flat. This ground 13 on the same range with the I, X. L. Co. and extends to Bloody Run. Robert H. Barton & Co. have located three hundred feet on a lead near the junctiou of Woods ravine and Dry creek, adjoining the claims of Leathe & Co, Sierra County. We notice these local items in the Messenger of January 2d : Jim Crooks, John Scott, F. Bliss, et al., of Eureka, killed another bear on Friday of last week. They are the same persons who killed the grizzly a short time since. This last catch was what we should call an Ameiican brown' bear, and weighed four hundred pounds. The varmint was tracked to his den in a hollow tree and then shot. He struggled bravely to get out to give battle to his enemies, but tho boys gave him no show. The bear was enormously fat and afforded immense quantities of bear's oil. The carcass was disposed of by Brown &Berg, butchers. The gall was sold to Chinamen for $35 for medicinal purposes. Hamuel Stevenson, a miner, had his leg broken below thee knee on Tuesday last, while working at his claim in Jim Crow canyon. \u25a0 . ————____ Small Pox at Dutch Flat.— notice the subjoined in the Placer Herald of January 9th : The small pox is at Dutch Flat, and spreading. Major Charles Copp, a young son of E. L. Brad- ley, a brother of Collector Calderwood, and the wife and child of a stranger, j are all down with it at present. Dr. Nelson pronounces some of the cases black small pox, or measles. We have escaped this disease here as ye ; , with the exception of the one that proved fatal some weeks ago. 1: s*.5 *. i; t/ \u25a0 Calaveras County.— Chronicle of Janu- ary 9th has the annexed items : The gang of thieves and burglars which in- fests this county, having enjoyed a brief relax- ation from their arduous duties during the holi- days, have again commenced operations. Han- lon's store, at the Junction, was broken into on Sunday night last and several articles were stolen. The family of A. P. Dudley, for years resi-, dents of Mokelumno Hill,have removed to San Francisco- " \u25a0- '\u25a0:\u25a0' Wreck and Loss of Life. Atelegram from Santa Cruz under date of January 9th records the following sad affair : A schooner belonging to B. F. Lee & Co. (name not reported), of about 150 tons capacity, was wrecked near Williams' Landing last night. She had hauled in last evening with the inten- I tion of loading, but the; sea being rough, she. anchored some distance out from the landing, j This morning persons on shore discovered her small boat floating empty. One of her crew ! was seen floating drowned in the surf, but not ! recovered. Her crew of five men were all lost. j The schooner is reported a total wreck. ' Amador Couxtt.— We cull the lollowing local news from the Ledger of January 9th : j Last Monday moraine, just before day, four , "road agents'' stopped the Fiddletown stuce, | about two miles from that place, and near where : Delacy robbed it some years ago, and demanded the treasure-box ot Wells, Fargo & Co. Resist- ance being in vain, the dtiver sis compelled to surrender it, when the "gentlemen" broke it open and took out $200, all that it contained. The robbers had certainly made a mistake, lor on returning the box they remarked to the driver that " tbey bad missed their lick." They supposed that a heavy shipment bad been made that morning, but were deceived in their calcu- lations. ".-; .\u25a0"'.-. -:, -\u25a0:•" On tbe morning of the Ist instant the birn of Louis Guienan, who resides about one mile Irom Fiddletown, was destroyed, together with its contents, consisting of two horses, a colt, sev- ' eral tons of hay, a large quantity of potatoes, I icon and farming utensils. The lire was an accident. The mining company's property, heretofore known as the Coney & Bigelow mill and mine, ' has passed into the hands of a stock company, and incorporated, with a capital of $800,000, divided into shares of $100 each. Two sharp shocks of an earthquake were felt in the vicinity of the Newton copper mine, about 9 o'clock on the morning of the 7th. Dr. Newton informs us that it shook things consid- erably to his house, said was accompanied by a deep rumbling sound. Burglart ix El Dorado Codxtt. On Sun- day evening last the residence of M. O'Keefe toll-house of the Placerville and t)l Dorado Turnpike was entered ami a silver watch, re- volver and numerous articles of clothing stolen therefrom, the owner being temporarily ab- sent. About the same time the house of Peter Duftah, near tbe toll-bouse, was entered and robbed ot blankets and nearly the entire wear- ing apparel of the owner. Persons temporarily absenting themselves in the evening would pre- vent this system of house breaking by leaving a light burning during their absence. Mount- ain Democrat, Jan. DM. A Good Move. The Folsom Telegraph of January 9th says: We are informed that the Natoma Water and Mining Company contemplate doing away with a large number of the reservoirs in this vicinity and substituting one large main reservoir some- what conveniently distant from the town. If this should be done we would not have much more fever and ague in the neighborhood. The idea is an excellent one, as it would be an econ- omical saving of water to the company and a healthy movement generally. Advices from Portland, Oregon.— A dis- patch dated at Portland, January 9tb, has this intelligence: The second trial of E. G. Randall, Postmaster, for robbing United States mails, terminated yes- terday. The jury, after being out teu ho'uis, brought in a verdict of guilty. Great interest has been manifested in the case throughout the entire proceedings. Several hundred persons were vaccinated in this city yesterday. Good Lump.— Yreka Journal has the fol- lowing : Last Christmas day we wore shown at Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express ofiice a lump of amal- gam, weighing one hundred and seventeen ounces, all pure gold except about an ounce of quicksilver, the product of eighty -three tons of quartz Irom Accidental Quartz Ledge, on Hum- bug.

CITY INTELLIGENCEBaolt Burned.— About one o'clock yesterday

morning a girlknown as "Carrie," who works

in the Louisiana Saloon, on Second street, be-tween X and L, met with a serious accident, the i

particulars of which are given as follows:Shortly before the hour mentioned, the saloonhaving been closed, she retired to her room,which™ is in the same building as the saloon.While hanging up some clothing, or otherwisebusied with a candle in her band, in a portionof the room where a number of dresses, etc.,

were hanging, the articles caught tire from thelightand were soon in a blaze. She tore themdown, and in endeavoring to extinguish theflames set fire to the dress upon her person.About that time Robert Kelly,proprietor of thesaloon, who had been to another saloon nearby. came home, and seeing a great light in thegirl's room and bearing her calls, went to herassistance. Not having anything at hand withwhich to smother the flames, he endeavored topull the burning apparel off", and finally suc-ceeded, but not until both of his hands werevery severely burned. Dr. Simmons was calledinand proceeded 'to give the sufferers all therelief possible. Tbe girlwas found-to have hadher neck, both shoulders, back and arms shock-ingly burned.

CARD OF THOMAS HAS MOONEY.

Messes. Editors: Your San Francisco cor- Jrespondent, under date 4th January, furnishes ]your paper witha very spiteful and untrue par-agraph referring to me. He says :

"The i

Sheriff had orders to close the Builders' In- jsurance," which is simply untrue and without jthe slightest foundation. He says, also, that {"Judge Pratt, inrendering his decision, madea scathing review of the company, including asketch of Mooney's principal operations sincehis arrival here from Australia." There is nomistaking the animus ot this writer and cor-respondent of jours. Judge Pratt did indeedattack the company from the bench and insinu-ate that itwas insolvent, etc., but my

"opera-

tions since Icame here from Australia" werenot alluded to by Judge Pratt ;and ifhe haddone so he must have said, ifhe told the truth,that Ibuilt up hundreds of houses forpoor menin this city which they never would have hadbut for me, and that Isaved the people of thiscity and State half a million dollars a year bythe lowering of rates on insuiance; thatpolicy holders who have insured in the Build-ers'have not complained to the Judge nor toany other person respecting the operations

"of the undersigned ;and your correspondent,therefore has nothing to justify him iv his re-marks. Respectfully, Thomas MoOjTBT.

San Francisco, January 8, 1869.

The Late Council at Sacramento.— The fol-lowing fullrecord of the doings of this body istaken from the San Francisco Pacific of lastweek :

"Whereas, wehave been called to advise con-cerning the dissolution of the pastoral relationnow existing between Rev. 1. E. Dwinell,D.D.,and the First Church of Christ, Sacramento, inview of his having been called to accept a Pro-fessorship in the Pacific Theological Seminary ;and whereas we have listened to a full state-ment of facts bearing on the proposed changefrom Dr. Dwinell, from a Committee of theChurch and Society, and also from variousmembers of the same, and from Rev. Dr.Stone, who appeared on behalf of the Trusteesof the Theological Seminary ;therefore,

Resolved, That whatever may be our presentadvice, we regard the early establishment of aTheological Seminary as of vital necessity tothe best interests of religion on this coast.Resolved, That we are unanimously of theopinion that the selection made by the Trusteesof the I'actic Theological Seminary, of the Rev.I.E. Dwinell, D.D., tor the First Professorshipinthat institution was, in itself considered, pre-eminently fitting and judicious; but with thedefinitely expressed opinions of prominent rep-resentatives of the First Congregational Churchand Society of Sacramento before us, with re-spect to anticipated seriously unfavorable con-sequences of Dr. Dwinell's leaving them at thepresent time, and withno positive evidence thatDr. Dwinell wishes the connection broken, butthat he only desired to be guided in the path ofduty; and weighing, also, carefully, the relativeclaims of the Theological Seminary at its pres-ent stage, as compared with those of the Churchwith which Dr. Dwinell has sustained so pleas-ant and useful a connection fjr the last fiveyears, we are unhesitatingly of the opinion thata dissolution of the pastoral relationship, underpresent circumstances, would be inexpedient;therefore,

Resolved, That while we regret that we cannotcommand the desired services of Dr. Dwinellin our first theological professorship, for whichwe seek a Christian scholar of similar spirit,taste and culture, we congratulate the churchon the continuance of those valuable services inthe field where they seem tohave been so muchappreciated, and to be so much desired ; andwe pray the great Head of the church, that Hewilladd his blessing to tins decision, which, wetrust, is in accordance with His will, and thatHe willgreatly reward thelabors ofHis servant,and largely increase the strength and Christianinfluence of the beloved church over which beis called to preside. • .

Sax Francisco.—

These items arc from theSan Francisco Bulletin of January 9th:

Friday the following persons were examinedby the Commissioners in Lunacy and pro-nounced insane, to wit: Maria 51, Thompson,single, age seventeen, native of New York,teacher; forgets everything; cannot tell herown name ;wants to do good by not eating, forfear some one else should want the food; causeof insanity, affection of a vital organ.

This morning a young bear kept in the cellarof a »etstu::rat.t on Washington street, nearSan-some-rgot loose ami came up the stairs into thedining-room, which was lilted with customers.The sudden appearance of bruin caused a gen-eral panic, and the place was instantly vacated.The bear ran out on the street and chargedalong as ifanxious to regain its native wilds inthe shortest possible time, but his owner suc-ceeded, after several efforts, m capturing him.The animal offered no harm toany person while2t liberty.

Hot Creek (Sby.)—

The Austin Reveille thuscomments en 'he prospects of this mining dis-trict

Itis probable that after the excitement con-cerning While Pine subsides

"withinits banks,"

the numerous districts in the southeastern partof the Stale may receive some attention tromsome of those who have been brought to Ne-vada by the fame of White Pine. Among theneglected districts Hot Creek is known to pos-sess a number ol valuable mines which, if in-telligently and judiciously managed, wouldprove remunerative investments. The samemay be said ofDanville, Empire, Reveille andother districts in the southeast. We have hadapplications lately for information respectingHot Creek, and in" order that those who desireit may obtain it accurately and promptly, werefer them to D.P. Walter, who is located" per-manently in that district. Walter is in a posi-tion to give precise and reliable information ofthe mines or other property of Hot Creek, andtboso who wish for advice respecting the dis-trict cannot do better than to apply to him,

Fire in San Francisco.— The Alta of Jan-uary 9th records the annexed :

About half-past twelve a. v.,a fire was dis-covered in a frame buildingin the rear of St.Maiv's Hospital, on Rincon place, between Bry-ant and Harrison streets, owned by the Sistersot Mercy, and used as a stable and bay IoH.The alarm, which was sounded trom Box56,was promptly responded to by the Fire Depart-ment ibut there was treat difficulty in obtain-ing water. The building, which was not in-sured, was entirely destroyed, together with itscontents. There were in the stable at the timetwo fine horses, valued at $1,000, which wereburned, although strenuous efforts were madeto rescue them- One portion of the buildingwas used as si store-room for trunks and baggageof the Hospital patients, and nearly all the con-tents ot this room were saved. No cause is sis-signed for the fire,but it seems to have beenthe work of an incendiary, as no one connectedwith the Hospital had been in the building lorsix hours previous to tbe discovery of the fire.

A noRSE Thiei».— The Napa Reporter of Jan-uary 9th chronicles the subjoined account ofthestealing of a horse and the result:

Mrs. Yount, of Vountvillc, in this county,had a vainable horse stolen from her premiseson the night of the 26th ofDecember. Sus-picion rested upon an individual of the name(real or assumed) of Tom Paulmantieur, em-ployed by her a few days previous to the lar.-ceny and who disappeared at the same time.Acting upon this suspicion, officers WuldcnandMcGct started in pursuit of the hombre, whowas overhauled by McGee in Berrycssa valley.The horse was found in his possession, and theprisoner was bound over to answer.. _

LETTER FROM CARSON.[correspondence or UNION.]

Carson (Nev.), January 8, 1869.Legislators -;r/^. -v

always feel competent and hold themselves s

in readiness to celebrate the holidays, andtherefore both houses adjourned yesterday until jMonday next. Little business in the way ofbills is ready for action, and the wise men deem

'it unnecessary to meet again before that day.

The organization was effected on Monday lastwithout delay, though considerable caucusing jand logrolling were indulged a few days pre-ceding. The presumption is that a crew of i

modern law-givers would not feel comfortablethrough the session were it not prefacedby a scrimmage for places* for friends. Itseems almost incomprehensible that young,able-bodied men willhang around Legislaturessession after session, a pick and slim living forthe long intervening periods, and bring up eachtime without anything but the scant qualifica-tion of mere ability to fill the positions they,seek. Men who make a practice of seekingminor positions about public bodies soon be-come little more than cyphers in community.They beg and supplicate for positions that"ifobtained can last but a few weeks. Ifhalf thezealousness were manifested to secure and ablyfillprivate positions ofpermanency, more cashand comfort would be realized, and a vastamount ofcringing avoided. Committee clerk-ships are sought more ravenously than a clerk-ship in a well-established mercantile firm, andporter and pageships more pitifullybegged thanalms by professional mendicants.

Among members of legislative bodies thereseems to be both sense and commendable ambi-tion in getting placed at the bead of Commit-tees. Ifinterest in the public welfare will notspur them to dutiful action, their pride may doso; and again, ifa man be inclined to "see",something more than bis good works, his posi-tion may enable him to compass more of thewherewith to procure grub and liquids.

The Committees are not all appointed yet,in consequence of the undecided-claim of £. B.Hazard to a seat as Senator from Lincolncounty.He was duly elected in pursuance ofa law ofthe State, but as that statute gave the Senatemore than half as many Senators as tbe wholenumber of Representatives

—which the Consti-

tution forbids— and the Senator from Lincolnwas elected inpursuance ofthat

—he is held

to be an unconstitutional member and must notbe admitted, without itcan be demonstrated thattwenty 13 a number not greater than one-half ofthirty-nine/ Honorable gentlemen have se-riously undertaken this mathematical feat, andsome have already convinced themselves thattwenty does not exceed the halt of thirty-nine.The Senator applying for a seat is a Democrat;but so fur as the discussion has proceeded nodisposition ismanifested to exclude him on par-tisan grounds. The Senate stands, withouthim, fifteen Republicans and four Democrats,and with him theminority wouldconstitute onlyone-fourth.

The Election for Fulled States Senatorto fill the term succeeding the 4th of Marchnext, will come offnext Tuesday, and there 13not a doubt of the re-election of W. M.Stewart.Acaucus of forty Senators and Representativesmet on Tuesday evening and voted unani-mously for Stewart, and itis certain that sevenor eight more are known to positively preferhim, so that from forty-five to fifty votes aresure, and it would not surprise me if everymember, Democrats and all, votes forStewart.Certain itis tbat for once no coin or greenbackswillbe used to purchase or influence Senatorialvoles. Tbe wise and potent remarks of certainones that Stewart would not have so easy sail-ing as his friends anticipated, are no moreheard, and the golden visions of those hopingfor coin encouragement willhave to least onvisions only. Itis surmised that this State ofthe case is crushing on a few. It is much tothe credit of this site that for once a Senatorwillbe elected without any other influence thanthe wishes of the people. Stewart has been amost active and faithful and successful advocateof Nevada's interest, and itis doubttul whetherhis place could be so well filled by any of themen aspiring to the position ;and his record onnational questions ot current issue is clear, andhas the approval of the mass ofhis constituents,as shown

'in the retent election. Senatorial

elections heretofore in this State have been thesubjects of national scandal ;this one willbefree of unfavorable comment. .

The Houseof this honorable Legislature have refused toelect a Chaplain, but yesterday extended an in-vitation to all ministers to call round and rattleoff a prayer tor tbem. One comical cuss ofthebody suggested— on the outside— that the actionarose out ofthe feeling that pervaded the mem-bers that some kind of pious aid was needed byall, and that by giving all the gospel peddlers achance the requisite article might be secured,A few years ago the worthy Chaplain uniformlyput up a single petition, which was this ; Oh!Lord, give these men that wisdom tbey so muchneed. Amen." This oblation has always beencommended, and itwould be difficult to improveupon it. Its brevity and aptness make it wittyand valuable. The* Senate . elected a Chaplaintbe first day. and ho is sworn inand putting uppetitions at the opening of each day's session.it is rather .. plea^t and harmless custom,which is an ahrOst universal one, and to not ob-

serve it provokes unfavorable remarks, and theState's dignity is impaired abroad ifnot athome. Truo piety is no*, shown by prayers, vetitis doubtless promoted by them, and whenevera body of men decide by tlieir votes that theydo not car? to hear prayer, itis not veryexaltedtestimony in behalf of their trustworthiness intrials of real principle.

The New Orleans Battleanniversary is not being specially celebrated.Aball and lesser festivities are the programme.Both branches of the Legislature adjournedover, partly on that account and partly for wantof prepared business. The theater will rununder the Beatty management, and probablysundry ones will glorify the day by gettingtipsy and making tbbmselves iidiculou-, ifnotsubjects for official attention. Stewart's friendsare keeping "open house" at tbe Ormsby, andIhear that a certain gambler is entertaining Inscallers withmost excellent wines, and checks—for the cash. The high-toned gamblers wanta heavy license law enacted, and wine is sup-posed to put law-makers in a kind and accom-modating mood. But this nth of January cele-bration ought either to be abandoned or thedays upon which other equally important bat-tles were fought and won, and with them thenation's life saved, receive some distinction.Small affairs such battles are now considered,and our history now is filled with immense bat-tles incomparison to that, and whose import-ance is no less. The day upon which the Mon-itor met the Merrimac should be accounted atleast as worthyofIpstjvo distinction as JanuarySth. In celebrating the latter day Democratswill joinin and feel happy; in the former theirspirits would not be so volatile, and some wouldeyen oarpingly say that it were an unkind refer-ence to "the late onpleasantness." Exceptingtor a tow battles in Mexico, Democrats have noheart to publicly celebrate any occuring sincethat memorable one of General Andrew Jackson.

The WeatherIs worthy of favorable uotice. The Winter, sotar, has been remarkably agreeable. Save NewYears and the day following no heavy windshave visited this place, and but small flurries ofsnow. This forenoon it is storming in theSierras, and the wind is quite fresh, with flyingclouds occasionally obscuring the sun. Theweather is a subject of general praise. S.

Honolulu,— From the Gazette of December23d we take the following:

The brig which we reported last week ashaving come into port on the morning of ]the day of our publication, in a state of jdistress, proved to be the American brig 1Constantine, A.F. Riedell, master, two months t

from Onoulaska, via Alton, which latter placeshe left on November 20th, bound for San iFrancisco. From that time up to the beginningof December, the brig experienced extremelysevere weather, the wind for the most partblowing a severe gale from1 the southward,varying E. S, E. to S. S, W. .

On Friday morning last, S. A. Comstook, whobad been forabout two years living on one ofithe guano islands, committed suicide on board ithe Kamehameha V., offDiamond Ueud. The

'act was committed by shooting himself in the Jbead, tho ball ontoring on the right side andcoming out on the opposite side. Notwith- istanding that the brain was thus perforated, helived several hours, though evidently insensible, iHe was a native of New London, Connecticut, imarried here, and had sailed in the whaling

'

business from this port for a number of years, •The cause of the rash act is not definitely 1know but it would appear to have been pre-

'meditated.

THELONDON TIMES ON PRESIDENT JOHNSON'SLAS MESSAGE.

[From the London Times of December 10th.] |The abstract of the President's Message

brings us to tbe end of a great political strug-gle. This is the last time Johnson will addressa message to Congress. The yearly sessionopened on Monday, and in March next thePresident will retire to make way for a sue- icessor who accepts, though in a temperatespirit, and perhaps with the reservation of acertain independence, the policy of the Repub-licans. Tr.ese have won the victory and willrule legally and constitutionally where theyhave for tour years past ruled by the vigorous ,action of Congress. But Johnson will, itseems, meet his political demise without any Iconcession of bis own opinions. He willprob-ably not take a leading part in American poli- jtics after his term of office comes to an end.As a general rule the ex-Presidents have beenstrangely ignored by their couutrymen. Tohave attained the highest post in the republicseems to exhaust the political influence of a jman.

The message vindicates Johnson's policy con-cerning reconstruction. The four years he willhave spent at the White House have been themost important in recent American history, jwith the exception of those ot the late war, and jwe are anxious to see what willbe his defenseat the close of such a career. How far the pro-cess of reconstruction may be modified inpractice depends, no doubt, on the personalopinions and the independence of character of jGeneral Grant. As lar as legislation is con- |cerned the Republicans have attained their ut-most desires, the South is at their feet, and thelegal 'power exists to reconstruct itaccordingto the most extreme theories of the Republicanleaders. The military officers, however, havefor the most part shown a moderate and kindlyspirit, their zeal being far less fiery than that of!the popular orators ot the North. GeneralGrant is a soldier, and said to be one of the jmost temperate in his opinious, as sir as jcan be judged from his cautious action andhis sparing speech. The practical applicationof the reconstruction Acts will, to a great ex-tent, rest with him, and though itis no doubthis duty to execute them honestly and loyally,yet he may do much to reconcile the Southernpeople to the Union by the general moderation jof his conduct and by prescribing strictly thelimits beyond which the Federal Governmentwill not coerce them. Our correspondent in Ihis letter published yesterday remarks that

theoretical reconstruction will end with the iadmission ot Virginia, Mississippi and Texas ;and practical reconstruction willnot begin untilthe new President gets into office and can putinto operation a different and perhaps wiserpolicy than either 61 those heretofore Dived sovehemently by Congress and President John-son." Yet Johnson does not shrink, evenat this extreme term of his power, fromcounselling an Act of the most decided icharacter. The message expresses tearsof a" coming Indian war, but favorsreduction in the army by the withdrawal oftroops from the South. The Republicans haverelied on the army for the maintenance of theirpolicy in the South, and (or the due progress ofreconstruction. To take the regiments whichare keeping order in Louisiana or the Carolinesand send them to fight the Indians would be,in the opinion of the Republicans, and, indeed,of all the world, the abandonment ot all thatCongress has been struggling for during thelast three years. This paragraph of the mes-sage seems to promise anything but a cessationof the war between the President and Congressduring the next three mouths. The Congressis the old Congress, for the new one does notmeet till the 4th of March. Thus, by the sin-gular, and, as it seems toEnglishmen, the faultymechanism of American institutions, a super-seded President and a superseded Congress willgovern and legislate lor three months, whiletheir successors look on powerless to control asingle action.

The President advocates, not without cause, areduction of expenditure, the early resumptionof specie payments and the contraction of thepaper currency. It is not difficult to divinetnat financial questions willbe among the mostmomentous for the United States during thenext few years. The resources- ol the countryare, indeed, inexhaustible, and there can be nofear that all difficulties will be surmounted inthe end. But fora time there willbe a certainamount of pressure, for the debt isimmense andthe financial system is antiquated, clumsy andparticularly burdensome to industry. No won-der that the oaief of the executive" has to de-nounce frauds on the internal revenue. Withsuch splendid temptations to misbehavior, themost honest officials might be corrupted. Th*part of the message most interest -»~

'[0English-

men will,however, be that which declares thaithe negotiations with respect to the Alabamaare not yet complete. On this subject we havealready upoken, and the public will be glad toawait further details. We need only say thatour Government has shown every desire tobring these matters to un arrangement, and it isdifficult to believe that either the President'sCabinet or the hostile majority in the Senatewillthwart a settlement which has been arrivedat or alter so long and laborious a negotiation.

Nevada County. We take the appendedlocal intelligence from tbe Nevada Transcript ofJanuary 9th:

Thursday night the store ofMcNulty,Hagarty& Co., at Moore's Flat, was entered", the safebroken open and robbed of between six andseven hundred dollars. The parties first at-tempted to enter by the front, and afterwardswont to tin; rear of the building. They herecut through' the brick wall opposite the bolt ofof the door and entered the building. Theythen went to work upon the safe and cutthrough the outer casing of iron, which was. Meighth of an inch thick, dug out the composi-tion, and then broke the chilled iron, three-eighths ofan ich thick, witha crow bar. and cutthrough another sheet of iron an eighth of aninch thick, making an opening just over themoney drawer large enough to admit a hand.The safe wa3 a Tilton &McFarland, combina-tion lock, and weighed about 3,000 pounds.The work was evidently done by experts at (habusiness. They must have been al work a longtime, as yvholp candles that were left in theSticks were burned' out. No strangers wereseen in town for several days previous' to thisrobbery.

On 'Wednesday night the store of PatrickBohannan at Eureka wax entered and robbed.The supposed robber went to bed at Robb'sHotel, got up during the night, and taking hiscandle went to the rear of the store. He el-lected an entrance and passed by the sleepingapartments of half a dozen people in the store.He robbed the drawer ot $1-1 in coin, and alsotook two meerschaum pipes. He went out bythe same wayhe entered without being heard".

We notice these local itemsin the Messenger of January 2d:

Jim Crooks, John Scott, F. Bliss, et al., ofEureka, killed another bear on Friday of lastweek. They are the same persons who killedthe grizzly a short time since. This last catchwas what we should call an Ameiican brown'bear, and weighed four hundred pounds. Thevarmint was tracked to his den in a hollow treeand then shot. He struggled bravely to get outto give battle to his enemies, but tho boys gavehim no show. The bear was enormously fatand afforded immense quantities of bear's oil.The carcass was disposed of by Brown &Berg,butchers. The gall was sold to Chinamen for$35 for medicinal purposes.

Hamuel Stevenson, a miner, had his legbroken below thee knee on Tuesday last, whileworking at his claim in Jim Crow canyon.

Last Monday moraine, just before day, four,"road agents'' stopped the Fiddletown stuce, |about two miles from that place, and near where :Delacy robbed it some years ago, and demandedthe treasure-box ot Wells, Fargo &Co. Resist-ance being in vain, the dtiver sis compelled tosurrender it, when the "gentlemen" broke itopen and took out $200, all that it contained.The robbers had certainly made a mistake, loron returning the box they remarked to thedriver that

" tbey bad missed their lick." Theysupposed that a heavy shipment bad been madethat morning, but were deceived in their calcu-lations. ".-;.\u25a0"'.-. -:,-\u25a0:•"

On tbe morning of the Ist instant the birn ofLouis Guienan, who resides about one mile IromFiddletown, was destroyed, together with itscontents, consisting of two horses, a colt, sev-

'eral tons of hay, a large quantity of potatoes, I

icon and farming utensils. The lire was anaccident.

On Sun-day evening last the residence of M.O'Keefe —toll-house of the Placerville and t)l DoradoTurnpike

volver and numerous articles of clothing stolentherefrom, the owner being temporarily ab-sent. About the same time the house of PeterDuftah, near tbe toll-bouse, was entered androbbed ot blankets and nearly the entire wear-ingapparel of the owner. Persons temporarilyabsenting themselves in the evening would pre-vent this system of house breaking by leavinga lightburning during their absence. —Mount-ain Democrat, Jan. DM.

A Good Move.—

The Folsom Telegraph ofJanuary 9th says:

We are informed that the Natoma Water andMining Company contemplate doing away witha large number of the reservoirs in this vicinityand substituting one large main reservoir some-what conveniently distant from the town. Ifthis should be done we would not have muchmore fever and ague in the neighborhood. Theidea is an excellent one, as it would be an econ-omical saving of water to the company and ahealthy movement generally.
