A SAD CAsE.-Yesterday afternoon

a good looking and we'll dressed girl,
about Is years of age, came into u
sanctum and requested US to draw up
for her a subscription paper-giving
her name and stating that she was
from Genoa; that she was subject to
fits and had heard that there was a
physician in Sacramento who would
cure her for $40, which amount she
wanted to raise by subscription.
While her language was good and her
department proper enough, it was
easy to be seen that she had been
drinking-was drunk, in fact. Soon
after leaving our Office, she told a little
girl whom she had picked up as a
guide that she intended to walk back
to Genoa last night. We informed
Constable Sam. HodgkinsOn of the
matter and requested him to look after
her. About dark he found her and
took her to the County Jail, where
comfortable quarters were provided
and where she could pass the night in
safety; but soon thereafter Frank
Henderson and James Miller called
and offered to take the girl back to her
home, and procuring a buggy they
started with the unfortunate one about
$50 last evening. Upon inquiry we
learned that her story in regard
to having fits was true; that her
mother lives at Genoa, and her
step-father was an officer Of the
last Assembly. She is partially
insane at times, and in one of these
periods of alteration she yesterday
morning packed up a small bundle
of clothes and started to this city on
foot. When a few miles this side of
Genoa she was overtaken hythe stage,
and, hailing the driver, asked him if
she could get passage to Carson, stat
ing that she had no money. The
driver, not knowing who she was or
that there was anything the matter,
brought her on to this city. 1t seems
she has an unconquerable appetite for
liquor, and the least taste OF it upsets
her reason. DIR. Luce administered
sedatives to quiet her nerves, before
she was taken in charge by the Con-
stable, and when she left she was
quite rational.
