THE EVENING NEWS.

A BEAUTIFUL WEAPoN.-We sa" a'
the saloon of George Lewis, this morning
a magnificent sword that is worthy OF more
than.a passing notice. This SWORD was
presented TO Colonel Robt. Pollock, by
the men under his command. Inc oiaoe
is of fine Damascus steel, highly ponsneo'
and bears the letters l. :. on ITS falr
surface, besides other cunning devices.
The handle is wrought in gold and silver,
and represents the coat-of-arms Of Cali
fornia. The sheath is of solid silver and
hears this inscription " Presented to their
Colonel Robert Pollock, by enlisted men
of Third Regiment of California Volun-
teefs." Where the holders Of the sword
are fastened are large gold clusters, chased
in fanciful designs, and studded with
forty-one garnets that ghsten with rosy
light. The entire cost of this beautiful
present was $500, and is the first thing of
the kind we have ever seen. 1t is q telling
compliment to worthy gentleman and a
brave soldier.
NEW INTENTIONAL large crowd has
been attracted to the sidewalk in front of
GilGg, Mott & Co., on South street, to
examine new patent hoisting apparatus,
which is great improvement on all pat
ents of the kind, heretofore invented. 1t
consists of double sheave" at the top,
and single sheave below, which works
with an endless chain. The vast weight
of 5000 lbs, can be raised by this " fall !"
by one man to any required hight, and
after being hoisted retains its position
without prop or aid. This new machine
is one of the labor-saving kind, and will
doubtless meet with extensive use.
