PERsoSAL.-That old veteran of he Press
Gen. James Allen, of Sacramento, has sold out
his interest in the California american, to Mr..
L. w. Ferris, Assemblyman of that city From
the general reputation of the new proprietor, as
an able editor, we expect the California Aneri-
can will be conducted with its usual ability.
WITHDRAwX.-We notice by the San Joaquin
Republican, that the name of the publishing firm
of that paper, has changed, to J. NJ. Conley &
Co.; Mr.. j. B. Kennedy having withdrawn from
the firm. Messrs. J. NJ. Conley, H. c. Patrick,
and c. A. Hutchinson will continue the pub
lication of the paper. Mr.. ]. B. Kennedy, the
retiring partner, we have known long and favor
ably, he being one of the pioneer printers of the
State having worked on the Stockton Times in
1850, which the forerunner of the Repubh-
can, and pioneer newspaper South of Sacramen-
TO. In politics Mr.. Kennedy is democrat, of
the Jackson school, embodying q sentiment
not to be appalled,, corrupted or compromised"
Although the leader and oracle of the party in
San Joaquin county, his modesty and unassum-
ing nature, prevented him seeking that higher
sphere of political action, where his reward
would have been commensurate with his we'll
known political consistency and integrity. We
wish Mr.. Kennedy success wherever he may 60
hoping that good fortune may attend him on
his way with ample reward, while all his new
friends and ~ legion" of old ones, will cheer
him along. So mote it be.

the petty (coat) assertions about the wedding

Hear him, We Benedcts
ave hardly deem the seniors absence at this
time charitable to "us," ha! ha! ha-a-a!

added to our other duties. What is the intel
lectual Improvement and moral culture of n few
thousand persons down at Sacramento COM

tornadoS of happiness, and mountains OF con-
tentment with the only angel an earth. Read

lnquencies are not because we "love Caesar
less but Rome more
