T. H. Williams of Sacramento, said there was
one gentleman who had not been named. but who
had been Secretary Of the Central Committee
since when his memory ran not to the contrary.
From the fact that he was officially connected
with the swamp lands of the Stte he was loca-
ted in the swamps, and therefore had no definite
location. He moved that VIM. j. Hooten be ad-
led to the Committee from the State at large.
The motion carried unanimously.
After resolutions Of thanks to the officers, and
eloquent speeches from H. P. Barbour, Tod Rob-

The editor Of the Sacramento Union dis
likes it very much because Judge Myres
ives delegate to the Democratic State Com
vention. No wonder-there is not Demo
crat in the State that has not an utter con-
tempt for the editor Of the Union; hence, lie
is continually throwing mud at some Of them.
NOBLE CoNDucT OF STEPHEN MURPHY -
When the Golden Gate was on fire Stephen
Murphy, of this county, says, that while the
panic was greatest, a little boy, some 2 years
old, came running up to him asking him to
find his mother from whom he bad been
parted. The woman turning to Mr.. Murphy.
begged him to save her boy. He told her
he would try, and taking him on his back
asked some ore to tie his burden to
him. Then the Rev. Mr.. Keith drew his
handkerchief and fastening it to Mr.. Murphy's
hrnkerchief, Mr.. Keith lashed the little one
to his preservers back-"The Lord save you
and the ehild," said Mr.. Keith, and with this
benediction, Murphy leaped into the sea-
The two were saved.
NORTH FORK BRDGE.-This bridge, which
was swept away last winter, has again been
rebuilt by the Company; and travel-stages
and teams are once more passing over it.
The loss Of this bridge was a great incon-
venience to the citizens of Yankee Jims,
Forrest Hill, and the other towns of the
Divide. The new bridge has been built
above flood marks, and there is no danger Of
its again being swept away by "freshet."
