Splendid animals, those, remarked
one Of our reporters, referring to pair
of massive iron-gray horses drawing
heavy dray along Front street yesterday.
Yes" rejoined companion, they
have a majestic appearance, and are
valued at a high figure. By the way,
observe the driver closely-that tall,
erect cid man; there is an incident of
his life worth hearing He arrived here
in '49, fat broke, without o relative or
friend from whom to obtain assistance.
He Jared indifferently for year or
more working whenever an opportu-
nifty offered only managing to keep
about even with the world In the
spring of so he succeeded in purchasing
a. horse and dray on time, and fondly
hoped than in couple of years he could
pay for theteam, and return to the East
with moderate pile Of golda His. ex-
pectations were not realized, and three
I years found him still owing for his team,
and in poor health. While loading
some heavy goods at the wharf, one day
in April, SO, a young man, an entire
Stranger bye-the-bye, came to his as
sistance. When the loading was COM
pleted. the teamster and stranger re-
paired to a refreshment saloon, and
quenched their thirst; for it was the
custom then, as now, to drink between
meals. The twain subsequently con
versed upon various topics, and became
better acquainted with each other. The
teamster liked the honest, cheerful
countenance of the stranger, and the
latter rather fancied the hospitality Of
the draymanl The acquaintance ripened
into friendship, though neither OF the
parties knew the antecedents of the
other. A couple ofweeks elapsed, when
news came to the Bay city of the
discovery of valuable placer mines
in D new and hitherto unexplored
district. in the height of the
excitement which followed, the stranger
eyinced desire to seek his fortune in
the gold, fields, but an obstacle stared
him in the face, he lacked the funds nee
,essary to procure an outfit. In truth,
his buckskin wallet was nearly empty.
The teamstef came to his rescue, and
almost robbed himself to assist his new
friend. The stranger departed for the
mines, was lucky and at the termination
of FIVE years he came to the metropolis
with fortune. He hunted up his old
friend, the teamster, and proved that he
was not ungrateful for past favors,, by
giving him the job of hauling aquantity
of lumber to the lot at the corner of-th
and Folsom streets, presenting him with
the elegant mansion constructed of the
lumber; also, theilot and a comfortable
bank account.

Holiness. A day or two ago he was
sitting alone, when he suddenly perceived
at his side yelled lady, who, as he
looked up, sank on her knees and pre-

mysterious stranger said merely, 4 Pray

that no lady had been there. Not only

Pope, holding up the casket. The cas-

PORT, consort of Hon. Coulson Dayen-
port, of this place.
The estimable qualities Of mind and
heart of this much respected and es-
teemed lady are too well known to the
community in which she lived, torequlre
any praise or commentator from us.
Suffice it that we knew her to be above
panegyrics.
Her large benevolence and benefac-
tons to the poor, consultations to the
distressed and sympathy for all, wheth-
er in veal or woe, are patent to all who
knew her sympathizing with them in
their joys OF sorrows, she was general
benefactor. A Christian of the true
stamp, love to God and her neighbors
were her moral climacterics.
Few individuals in any community
have passed so Tonga probation, sothor-
oughly irreproachable in their social and
domestic relations rs our lamented friend
and neighbor. A cheerful word and
genial smile forevcry one, won their es-
teen; whilst admonitory warnings to
the hayward, only the more command
ed their respect. Her health, which
had long been feeble, assumed new
phase and rather precipitated the final
result. Peaceful were her last months,
though sudden and unexpected in their
approach. Calm and serene as the soft
close of a sweet summer eve, her head
resting on her husbands breast, its low
inc and beloved resting place for many
long, weary years, her spirit passed
away to its eternal state-'Left the warm
precincts of the cheerful day; nor cast
