THE San Francisco Neacs Letter has been
rendered libel suit for no other cause
than speaking Of an editor ola rival paper
in this mild mannerly way:
"The vacant-headed simileton who has
for months misconducted a dramatic paper
in this city, has been so perslstently kicked
by gentlemen across whose path he has
had the temerity TO crawl, that he has
finally been compelled to purchase the
luxury of sitting down without pain by
dispcsing Of his interest. This ridiculous
incarnation of idiocy, who by miraculous
manifestation Of morbid meanuess in
mother nature was thrust upon protest.
ing world as faultless specimen of the
human hog, was decent printer until his
mirror suggested the aspiring monkey,
which he straightway attempted to emu
late in ambition as in face. His brief but
brilliant career affords another illustration
of the folly of attempting the role of 9
gentleman with the brain Of a jackass. L

beer during the working hours, he would
put in the bank the exact amount which
he would have spent if he had gone out to
drink. lie kept to this resolution for five
years. He then examined his bank ac-
count and found that he had on deposit
$521S6. In the five years be had not lost
a day from ill-health. Three out Of five Of
his fellow-workmcn had, in the meantime,
become drunkards, were worthless as work
men aud were discharged. The water
dripker then bought out the printing office,
went on enlarging his business, and in
twenty years from the time he began tc

Grand Time Expected.-All the young
folks are looking forward with growing ex-

exhibition such as Richmond has never seen

enlivening music, and all who wear the skates
are to be dressed in fancy costume.
Besides this, it is st. Valentines night, and
the lads and lassies fair are expected to don

Sudden Death. Albert II Mean

Sudden Death.--Mr. Albert FL. McAu.
thur, of this city, entered the well known es.
tablishment of Zetslle on Main street about -
O'Clock yesterday evening and called for din
ner, of which he had partaken, when he was
seized with fit of vomiting. Mr.. Zetele has
tened to his aid as did others at that time in the
establishment. Their efforts were, however,
without avail, as after suffering severely for a
few minutes Mr.. McAuthur hreathed his last.
The Coroner, Dr. Peterfeld Trent, was sum-
moned, but did not deem an inquest necessary,
it being in evidence before him that the de-
ceased was subject to heart disease, and was
under treatment for the same at the period of
his unexpected demise. The body was then
taken charge of by a committee Of Masons of
Metropolitan Lodge, No. l6, to which deceased
belonged, and removed to an upper room Of
of Zetelle's, where it remained last night 10
their charge. Mr.. McAuthur was about forty
years of age, and was formerly clerk at Bree-
den e. Fox's, Broad street. We believe he was
native of Chesterfield county, and had elatiy
there. He was an estimable gentleman in all
relations of life.
