DISTINGUISHED ARRIvAL.-Andrew Jack
son arrived in town Thursday evening, by the
Sacramento stage, and registered his name at
the National Exchange, The distinguished gen.
tleman, or rather the gentleman with distin-
guished name, was in search Of his brother
Peter, who, he had been told was in Trinity
county, and that Trinity was only half days
walk from Nevada. lie inquired of every one
he met if they knew Peter but failed to get any
satisfactory information. During the evening,
Mr.. F. came into the hotel, and looking at the
register exclaimed: ed, Andrew Jackson
has arrived" Andrew was standing near at
the time, and this familiarity with his name in
duced him to believe that F. was his long-lost
brother Peter; whereupon, he rushed up and
embraced him, greatly to the amusement of the
by-standers T. was SO utterly confused and
confounded, that it was some time before he
could explain that he was not the man Andrew
was in search of. Being at length informed
that he had gone seventy miles out of his way,
he returned to Sacramento the next day.
