A CURIous CAsE.-The Oakland News

A Curious CAsE.-The Oakland News
of the 18th has the following: There is a
patient in the County Hospital, on Broad
way, whose case is curious enc. He has
been in a sleep, or state bordering on cate
lepsy, most of the time since he came there,
now about two weeks since At FIRST, it
was diticu 1t to get answer to any ques-
ton propounded to him, but he is nov grad
ually improving. and he ia ks little more
readily when in state of consciousness.
He has been operated on by a galvanic bat
terry, and other means have been taken to
restore his senses and health. He is
German by birth, about twenty four years of
age, and formerly worked in AmadOr Val
ley in this county. He lapsed into his
present state aboutthe latter part Of August,
and remained in it a week, when the people
of Dublin, in Amador Valley, had him sen;
to San Leandro. On arriving at the latter
place, Judge Nye sent him to the County
Hospital in charge of Deputy Sheriff.
The attending physician of the Hospital
thinks the mans present unnatural state
was brought about by having sumo kind of
narcotic drug admin istered to him while
induging in the use of intox icating drinks,
and that the drug affected the spinal column
and produced inactivity of the bra in.

SILENT SrFFERING.-There is much pain
that is quite noiseless, and vibrations that
make human agonies are often mere "his-
per in the roar of hurrying existence. There
are glances of hatred that stab and raise no
cry of murder, robberies that leave man or
woman forever beggared of peace or JOY. yet
kept secret by the suferer-committed to no
sounds except that of low means IN the night,
seen IN no writing except that made i'll the
face by the slow months of oppressed an
euish and early morning tears. Many an
inherited sorrow that has marred life has
been breathed into no human ear. The poets
have told US of dolorOus enchanted forest IL
the under world. The thorn-bushes there,
and the thick barked stems have human his
tories hidden in them; the power of unutter-
able cries dwelis in the passionless seeming
branches, and the red warm blood is darkly
feeding the quivering nerves of . sleepless
memory that watches through all dreams.
These things are . parable.LGeorge EAoss

A REMARKABLE CRAFT.-The San Fran

A REMARKABLE CRAFT-The San Fran
cisco Bulletin of the 18th has the following
The little sloop Chelsa Smith, which has been
engaged between San Francisco and various
landings along the Sacramento river for the
past eighteen years, is, in some respects, a
remarkable craft, and deserves special notice.
She was built in New London Comm, in
lS49, and measures eight tons. She was used
for yachting purposes several years, and du-
ring the year 1850 was sent to this coast on
the ship Charles Carroll. The Carroll, for
some reason unknown to our informant, put
into Valparaiso, and while there it was
deemed best to launch the sloop and sail her
up to this port. On the upward voyage, both
vessels having left Valparaiso about the same
time, the little sloop beat the ship badly.
Notwithstanding her long service, the s!oop
looks none the worse for wear, and has lost
none of her sailing qualities.

RAILROAD CoLLIs1oS-Yesterdav morn

RAILROAD CoLLIsIoS.-Yesterday morn
ing, three freight trains were running east,
with but little distance apart, the engine Of
the leading train pulling disabled engine.
When near New England Mills, 40 miles
from this city, between Clipper Gap and Col
fax, the coupling attaching the two engines
gave way, and the train stopped. The sec
and train also came to halt, but the third one
coming on rapid rate, and not not icing the
stationary train, came crashing into it. The
damage usually accompanying such collisions
was inflicted though 10 person was hurt.
People in this section have no idea of the
number of trains running east daily-they
are legion-and therefore these collisions
among freight and construction trains may be
expected occasionally, though carelessness on
the part of engineers should he severely
