SUDDEN DEATH.-Colonel William
Mcclure, a resident of Yankee Jims,
Placer county, died In this city yester-
day, of apoplexy. Colonel Mcclure
came to this city with his wife and one
of his sons, on q visit to Edward N.
Hall, q San Francisco banker, residing
on Jackson street, near Twelfth, and
the sad occurrence happened while the
family were seated at the dinner table.
Colonel Mcclure was a pioneer Of the
State, and had until recently been ell
gagged in mining and ditching enter
prises In Placer county. Some eighteen
months ago he wa attacked by paraly-
sis, and since his recovery from the
stroke failed to regain his former good
health. His visit to Oakland was made
partly with a hope of improving his
condition in this respect. Relatives in
Placer county were Immediately in
formed by telegraph of the death Of
Colonel Mcclure, and as they cannot
reach Oakland until tonight, the fune-
raj will not take place before to NOR
row. Deceased was also a member of
one of the Masonic Lodges.--Oakland
Transcript, February ID.
Colonel Mcclure had many old
friends and acquaintance In this State,
who will all regret to hear Of his sad
death. We knew him since 1851.

The Governor Of Nevada deserves praise this
year above all American Governors. His annual
message would not al one-fourth of column Of
the Ledger, and II he continues to write with
this commendable breyity, he may yet become
Observation-Disclosures Ledger.
Nevada is becoming distinguished
abroad, not only on account of the
brevity of Governor Bradley's Inaugu-
raj, but also, as His E~1cellency says
therein, for its "herds and flocks."
In years gone by, the South claimed
that cotton was king and later, Sena-
tor Broderick claimed that gold was
king. Nevada can soon. claim that
short official messages, silver bricks
and bullocks are king.
