Horgan, who died SO suddenly in this city, on
Monday, will be sent down to-day to San
Francisco, by Wells, Fargo 4 Co., by order Of
her friends.
Row IN THE CoLORED CnuKCH On Sunday
last, scene Of the most rantankerous nature
occurred at the colored Baptist Church. on
Sixth street 1t seems that there is a schi>n
in the Church, and that tho regulir pastor
Randolph, is in the minority On Sunday
as he was holding forth, two or three Of the
"sisterng' suddenly sprang up, Zone Of them
oxclamng "You's preaching false doctrinei)
and, seizing him by the top Of the head, |
dragged him out of the pulpit. One Of them
doubled up her fists with the view Of sailing |
into him. but pausing in her wrath, said |
"No, | wont use my fists, for that's the devils
work I'll use the Word Of God ON hlm.
And with that she laid hold Of The Bible and !
damned it over his noggn with a vengeance.
1t wasn't long before the male dalkies inter
fered, and pro and con there was auch a
time as the imagination may conceive Of bat
the tongue cannot describe In the midst Of
the melee, Rev. Mr. Reese, (white preacher
of the Boptists) arrived and commanded the
peace. The "church militant then queted,
the schismatics retired, aud Brother Ran
dolph and his minority were left in posses
sion of the field.
We understand that some arrests were
made by the police, m account of the mat
ter, and that an old woman or two will be
tried to- ,av for assault and battery or -ome-
thing Of the kind before Justice ueas Of lhis
city
TnE RvER.-The waters Of the Yuba and
Feather are reeeding steadily bat not rapid
ly. The shores in many places are raising
their heads above the surrounding waters but
the appearance of the weather Is -riil threat
ening, and more rain may cause them to rise
much higher than they hoye yet attained tIs
season New islands are showing themselves
in many places, and rew ctauu,ls are eat
where the pale faces" have never seen them
before This causes many yf the idle and
curious to visit the banks Of the rivers and
notice the changes which are constantly oc-
curing.
The steamboats, are enabled to come up to
The Plaza close to the Y uba Bridge, and this
gives the citizens once more an opportunity
of witnessing the arrival of steamboat, as
in days of yore. We were down at the land
ing when the Young bmerica arrived and
upon looking at the crowd by whieh we
were surrounded, We thought of an old song
that we heard in our younger days "There
were dandies and bummers and drivers Of
hacks-pick-poekets, coIstables loalers and
blacks" Andi put us in mind very much Of
the scenes we have often witnessed in New
York city in the days Of our earlier yyu,h,
only Oh q smaller scale
CnINEsE FElAtn GoSH.-We saw yoster-
day on B street, between Second and First,
the City Sexton getting a specimen of the
fowery kinelom 10 tnke to the C.l...inl her
