SUDDEN DEATH.-The following melancholy
occurrence is related sby the San Jose Tri-
bune
Mrs. Moody had been apparently in the
enjoyment OF her usual health up to the
evening of Thursday, and retired TO bed that
night at about o'clock, complaining merely
that she felt more than commonly E:tigue3
BY the ordinary household labors of ler lit.
tie family. Her husband retired soon after,
and found his wife lying in her usual sleep.
ing posture, partly on her side, with her face
turned toward the wall. Having heard her
speak of being tired, he was careful not to
disturb her slumbers, and on rising in the
morning, observed a similar caution. He
went to his steam-mil few rods distant, and
Onsied himself there until the hour for break
fast, when returning to the house, he was in
formed by his little son that his wife had not
yet arisen In alarm he hastened to her bed,
and found her dead and cold. 1t could not
be certainly known at what hour she had
died, but it is thought by some of the rela-
tons that it was Immediately after living
down. She had evidently expired peacefully
without struggle, probably of disease OF
the heart.

,sy- On Thursday morning, says the La
Porte Messenger, an unfortunate afTray oc.
Cured between Messrs. Overmeyer and
SWEET. which came near proving fatal to the
former. 1t seems that the above parties have
been partners in a mining claim at this place
for some time past, but owing to misunder-
standing, have never entirely harmonized in
their business relations On the morning in
question some words passe d between them
when Mr.. S. struck o. and if we heard
correctly, knocked him down. After o. re.
covered his feet, S. threw pair of Black.
smiths tongs at him, which he warded of
with his left hand. The prongs, however,
entered his wrist and went directly through
it. Mr.. SWEET underwent an examination be.

The OVERLAND RoUTE--In commenting on
an article which appeared in the San Francis
co Herald, about two months ago, suggest
ing to our Texas neighbors the necessity Of
using some eXertions to obtain later news
from the East for transmission to California
by the overland route, the San Antonio
Ledger remarks:
1t is perfectly true that the people on this
side of the line have not displayed the same
enthusiasm, or evinced the same interest in
the progress Of the southern route as those
on the California side. We trust, however
they are being reused from their apathy on
the subject, and that the increased mail facil-
tiles which we will soon have between this
city and New Orleans will enable us to sup
ply our California friends with the latest in
telligence from the north. At present our
arrivals from New Orleans are only twice a
week, and unless they happen exactly to hit
the time of the departure of the overland
mail, considerable delay takes place AS
stated, however, we hope soon to see this
rectitied.
