BURNED TO DEArH.-On Friday, little
boy, aged four and half years, son of Mr..
Howard, of Stockton, died in that city from
the effects of the explosion of burning fluid.
The Argus of Saturday says:
The little fellow had been in the habit of
observing the use of burning fluid by his
father in kndling fires; and yesterday morn
ing while his mother was engaged in house,
hold duties, he volunteered to build fire,
and following the example of his father,
took can containing about gallon of burn
ing fluid, and while pouring some upon the
fuel which was partially ignited, the fluid
took fire and the can exploded. The boy was
completely enveloped in flames, when his
mother, hearing his screams, rushed to his
rescue, and was herself severely burned. Mr..
Weller, who was near by at the time of the
accident, endeavored to save the little fellow,
and was badly burned. The boy died yester-
day about noon, suffering terribly from the
burns he had received.

Opening and Dedication of the New
Presbyterian Church.

The interesting services, in connection with
the occupation and dedication of the magnif-
cent Church of the First Presbyterian Con-
gregaton, corner of d and Fifth streets, took
place on Sunday morning last
At IL o'clock, the Rev. E. +. Walsworth,
the Pastor, with Revs. E l. Lacey and War
ren, of San Francisco, Rev. Mr. Maclay, OF
the Methodist, and Rev. Mr.. Rhees of the
Baptist Churches of this city, entered the
pulpit from the right rear door, and the 81.
lence of the sacred structure was broken for
the first time by the Choir singing the an
them, Il was glad when they said unto me,
Let us 70 into the House the Lord" etc
Rev. Mr.. Warren, of San Francisco, evoked
the presence of the Holy Spirit, and read the
S4th and S7th Psalms. The choir then sang
the Psalm beginning,
"Where shall we go to seek and find,
habltatOn for our God )"
These services were followed by the dedi-
catory prayer offered by Rev. Mr. Maclay of
the Methodist church, another hymn by the
choir, and then came the dedicatory sermon,
which was preached by the Rev. Mr.. Lacey
of San Francisco, from the 44th ch. V. ol
Isaiah: "For will pour water upon him that
thirsteth, and floods upon the dry land" il
connection with the familiar beatitude, Mat
thew 9th ch. 9th ", "Blessed are they which
do hunger and thirst after righteousness, fol
they shall be filed" The Sermon was very
able one, and was closed with the invocation
the conservation of the shrine, and prayer
asking the Heavenly recognition of the cere
monies that set apart the edifce to the ser.
vice of the Most High.
After this, Mr.. HobHtzell, as Secretary and
Treasurer read very interesting Report,
which he prefaced with few remarks, say
ing: "As the services were likely to be pro-
tractsd he would eliminate from his report
as written, as much of the extraneous matter
it might contain, as he well could SO as not
to mar any portion of the description of the
edifice, it contained" The report, entire, We
give in this mornings issue, and it will vel
repay a reading.
After the report, the Pastor made an ap-
peal to the generosity of the congregation
which was well responded to; the collections
amounting to $sl2 so.
The choir then sung a closing anthem, anC
the congregation was dismissed with til,
Benediction pronounced by the Pastor, Rev
Mr.. Walsworth.

Gen. Winn at Yuba City.

The Douglas and johnson meeting, at Yuba
City, Saturday evening, was well attended
Gen. Winn addressed it, and occupied two
hours and a half in the delivery of very able
speech He impressed upon his audience the
fact that the Territorial Governments were
practically demonstrating the wisdom of
popular sovereignty by controlling the ques,
ton of slavery, without let or hindrance from
the Federal Government. The Territorial
Legislature of Kansas had enacted laws
against slavery, and Congress refused to in
terfere. The Territorial Legislature of New
Mexico had enacted laws in behalf of slavery
and Congress had also refused to interfere
The precedent was therefore fully established
ofallowing the people of the Territories tc
settle this question for themselves.
Nothing, he said, would be effected by the
Secessionists. unless they could bring a unitec
South to the cause of Disunion, and that they
could never do.
| Our informant tells us that Mr. McQuaid
answered Gen. Winn in euch 1oundering
and unsatisfactory way, that he soon talked
every body out of the house except six or
eight who finally themselves got up and left
unceremoniously. Mr.. McQuaid probably
could make a good speech on the right side
but it is an uphill business to defend the
cause he has espoused.
