The assessment roll of this year
shows that the total amount OF real
and personal property amounts to So
$4,000, and the probability is that the
Board of Equalization will add some
100000 or $500, 900, making in total
nearly S., 200, 900. The total valuation
of all property last year amounted to
Sc, 1000 e.
Hon. A. A. Sargent, U. S. Senator
of this State, will arrive in this city
on the steamer Orizaba, on Monday
afternoon. On that evening, at z o.
clock, he will address the citizens of
this city at Lobero's theatre, on the p0-
litical issues of the day. Sargent isan
eloquent man, and no doubt there
will be large attendance.
The street railway Is progressing
with rapidity, and is now crossing Car
rillo street. Another switch is being
laid in front of Cooks Hall. 1t is the
intention of the Company to lay the
track up to the new hotel. The branch
es, and also the return track will not
be Immediately.
This morning a fellow somewhat
overcome by an over dose of the "ar-
dent'' made his bed in the gutter in
front of the bank. A stream of water
was flowing along and over him leav-
ing on his person the debris of the
street. The last that was heard from
him was that he had concluded to
take better couch, and under escort
Of the Marshal was provided with
room furnished with all modern appli-
ances, in the city Jail.
This morning, Jack Cotton was
brought into court to plead to the in-
dictment against him for murder. He
appeared not so brave as was charac-
teristic of him when first arrested, but
wore troubled look. His attorneys
demurred, to the Indictment on two
grounds: First, there were not suffi-
cient facts set forth to place the man
on his trial; second, that the time of
committing the crime was indefinate:
The Judge, after hearing the argument
in favor, overruled the demurrer. The
prisoner then pleaded not guilty, and
next Wednesday at 10 o'clock was
set as day for the trial. Cotton is grad
ually failing in spirit, and as the tri-
al approaches his bravado is on the
wane. 1t is ascertained that w.
Green Curtis will offer his services to
the State in the prosecution of Cotton.
DR.. Schumacher, who was for some
time engaged in this vicinity obtain

The following shipments of produce
have been made within the past two

The schooner Sarah from Monterey
arrived Sunday, with $50 barrels of
lime, 40 barrels of plaster, 1850 posts
