DEATH OF FATHER SLArrERY-The Sacra-
mento News of Wednesday, thus announces
the death of Father Slattery:
The Rev. Father Daniel L. Slatterv, of
Marysyille, died about quarter past seven
o'clock last evening at the institution of the
Sisters of Mercy, on Ninth street, between F
and G streets, in this city. lie went to San
Francisco in September last to preach a ser
mon on the laying of the corner stone of the
Sisters of Charity's new hospital, and while
there probably contracted the disease which
assumed typhoid type and finally resulted
thus fatally. He was brought up to Sacra-
mento and removed to the institution of the
Sisters of Mercy on the 18th September, the
locality being as quiet and pleasant as any in
the city. Notwithstanding every care and
attention bestowed, he gradually sank until
he passed away like the lulling of the wind
Father Slattery was a native of Ireland and
had only reached his 29th year-not yet at
tained the middle age. He came TO Calitor
MIA in January, 1851 and was soon after fully
ordained to the ministry at San Francisco.
He has lately been officiating at Marysvile,
with credit to himself and the satisfaction of
his flock. BY reason of his elaborate contgi-
buttons to the press the public have become
somewhat familiarized with his name and
will have recognized in him profound
scholar, an accomplished writer and Jealous
prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. The
funeral will, we understand, take place on
Thursday next. AID probably the remains
will be taken TO Marysville for interment.-

The Sacramento Democrat announces his
death as follows:
DEATH OF REV. FATHER SLATTERV Our
readers will be panied to learn that this ex-
cellent priest died last evening. at 7 o'clock,
in the convent of the Sisters of Mercy, in this
| city. This will be affecting news to his rela-
tives and parishioners in Marysville, to whom
he was greatly endeared and to very large
| circle of devotedly attached friends, to whom
| we offer our sincere coincidence. This is not
the time or place to speak desergedly of the
talents and services of the deceased-that
must be the task Of others competent to per-
form it, We cannot refrain, however, from
expressing the opinion that in him the Catho.
lie Church loses one of her ablest defenders,
the world of letters an accomplished scholar,
and the State one Of her best citizens. The
funeral services will take place at st. Roses
church tomorrow Pontifcal high mass
will be celebrated by Archbishop Allemany,
and attended by all the Priesthood in the
diocese who can conveniently leave their
parishes The remains will be taken to
Marysville for interment in the basement OF
the Catholic church. Father Slattery was a
native of Ireland, whence he emigrated to
California in 1852, and was but 30 years of
age. Requiescdt in pace.
