"Tbe Wages Of Sin Are Death"

The man who was shot and mortaly
wounded while 10 the act Of committing a
burglary in restaurant in San Francisco
some two weeks ago, died from bis wound
last week in the hospital. The unfortunate
man gave his uame as Calhoun. We say
unfortunate man, from the fact, that from
our knowledge of lis antecedents, we feel
justified in CHASING him among the unfortun-
ales of California The mans name was
James Fl. Creamer, and in early days, was
quite a prominent and respected citizen of
Placer County. In 1872 and 3 he kept a
first,class restaurant in Auburn, where by the
labor of himself and wife, he acquired con.
siderable property. He sold out his Auburn
business in 1853, we believe, and went to
Iowa Hill, where he built and furnished fine
hotel which was soon afterwards burned to
the ground, whereby Creamer lost nearly
everything be had. He afterwards S arted a
restaurant in San Francisco, but did not sue
ceed in bis liking, and some difficulty of a
domestic character occurring about this time,
the restaurant was closed, be and his wife
separated, since which time he once dashug
Creamer, so far AS we know, has never en-
gagged in any legitimate business, bat gave
himself up to dissipation and petty crimes.
In 1861 or he enlisted in the army, or
joined some volunteer company, and was
sent down to Los Angeles or somewhere in
the Lower Country, at which place be was
general disablity-he in the mean time bav
ing nearly lost bis voice. After his discharge
he found his way back to San Francisco, and
from there to Leavitt's ranch at Ravenswood,
10 this county, where he worked for some
month or two as cook. This was the last
time we ever saw poor Creamer, but since
Nhen, we heard of bis conviction At Napa or
Sonoma for stealing pistol, and have had
general knowledge of bis downward career
up to the time of bis closing act which ended
lis miserable career. Creamer in his days
of prosperity, was wbole-sonled, genial, at
fable gentleman, very popular as hotel
keeper. his wife was gay, good.looking and
easily hattered. The tale is now summed up
in these few words. Creamer while burg lar
iously in search Of something to satisfy the
cravings Of hunger, is shot and morlally
wounded, and after lingering for several days
in the greatest agony, dies, while his former
wife, at the same time, is an inmate of a
house Of prostitution in the same city OF San
francisco. Can more melancholy picture
be imagined, than the above brief recital OF
actual deprsvity in man and wife. The
troubles and misery of one are ended. and it
may be question of doubt, as to which Of
the two had sunk the lowest in vice and
degradation.

Who have 6ocked to this and adjoining coun'

there is larger district of country, well
adapted to grain growing in wet seasons, of
q sandy character. This is where our old
nsighbors Mr.. Warren, Mr.. Cook, and others,
have taken farms.
The Insane Asylum here is an imposing
structure, with spacious and well improved
grounds, and is certainly creditable to the
State, while its management, under the pres
snt regime, speaks highly for the humanity
and ability Of the meGcai gentlemen IN
charge. 1t has at this time between seven
and eight hundred inmates. among whom, |
regret to say, is an estimabe lady, who came
10 the Asylum many years ago from your
town, aud. has recently been readmitted.
My advent here has been too recent to

Yet as there are sundry fat Offices to be filled,
il is fair to presume that patriots may be
found even here ready to be sacrificed on the
altar Of their country. Opposite my window,

Getting Tangled.

Our San francisco exchanges are getting
the questions Of disinfectau,s, fumigation,
preventalives, remedies, etc, terribly mixed
The doctors. of all classes, have rushed be-
fore the pu hrough the city press, and
strange as it Ina, appear, these city M DIS
do disagree, and to such an extent as to con-
fuse and absolutely damage the sanitary
movements going on. To such an extent
has this newspaper discussion reached that
we fancy that we actually smell carbolc acid,
cr.osote, camphor, birthstone, asafetida, DC!
on the city papers as soon as we open them
Perhaps it would be a good plan for our
city contemporaries 10 use liquid carbollc
acid in wet.iug down their paper before 60
ing to press. Iu this way the reader and
subscribers would handle and smell a dsln-
fec,ant while reading learned quack discus
sious on the disease itself. Perhaps as much,
or more real benefit would be derived from
the touch, smell, handling, throwing and
laying of the papers about the rooms OF pub
lie and private houses, saturated with car
bolic acid, as from reading the contradictory
statements of doctors. We have published
from time to time. for the benefit of our
readers, such remedies ard preventves as
seemed reasonable, and shall continue 10 do
so, but we confess that it can be OF no benefit
to any one to attempt to read or understand
