robbing Chinaman of bar of gold
bullion, valued at about $1,000, neal
| Whitewater. The larceny having
been committed in San Diego, he was
sent there for examination, and held
to answer before the Grand Jury OF
that county. Before the Grand Jury
met he left for parts unknown, and
his bondsmen, Messrs. Stewart and
Capron, were supposed to owe that
county $1,000, but the Board of Super
visors have, we learn, exOnerated
them. Vader is still at large.
Yesterday morning we accepted the
invitation of Major Bell to take ride
into the country, and taking our seat
behind his "Dashaway" colts were
soon spinning along at tolerable
gait past the houses, vineyards and
orchards which adorn the outskirts of
the city. Our route lay along the
road to the Green Meadow school
house, and over q section of country
which was a barren waste when we
last passed over it, more than twenty
years ago, but which is Vow covered
with nice farms, thrifty looking or
chards, beautiful cottages and fields of
grain. The grain shows the effect OF
the late storm, being nearly all pros
trated but not permanently injured,
except, perhaps, field belonging to
Mr.. j. @. A. Stanley, which was fur
| ther advanced than the rest and will
| probably not get quite erect before it
| is ready to cut. The roads in that re-
gion are splendid, and if trees of some
| kind-the blue gum, for instance
We're set out along the sides would be
the finest drive to be found in any di-
| rection.
A San Francisco exchange has the
following: "The Kalorama was built
in Baltimore about fourteen years ago
for market boat between that city
and New York. She was used as q
Government freight boat during the
war; was brought out here by her pres
ent owners about six years ago, and
was rebuilt by them from the waters
edge, eighteen months ago. She was
about 500 tons burden, but had great
capacity for slowing freight for her
size, and was used exclusively as q
! freight and stock boat. She carried q
crew, ali told, of about twenty-five
men, none Of whom were lost. Cap.
| tain Nelson stated that they would
not have sold her for $1,000; as they
| could not replace her for that, but that
| thpy had no insurance

a chinese vegetable peddler under
took to navigate the mud hole at the
corner of Fort and Fourth streets yes
terday morning and got stuck. His
horse went down nearly out of sight,
and in trying to extricate him the
Chinaman went entirely out of view,
but subsequently appeared and Sc.
| cured the services of a stout pair of
horses. After an hour of hard work
he succeeded in hauling the horse and
wagon to dry land. His remarks
were delivered in what is called "pig-
con English" but were emphatic and
understood not to be particularly CON-
plimentary to those who are supposed
to keep the streets in order.
From the Tribune, we learn that

The Morris Vineyard Tract, which
is to be sold at auction on the 7th and
Sth of this month, offers superior ad-
vantages for residences as being con-
venient to street cars and in a most
delightful portion of the city. These
lots will doubtless go at great bar
gain, and they will prove a good in
| vestment, either for residence pur-
poses or for speculation. There is no
restriction; the lots must go, and
those who have little money for in
vestment will be the lucky men.
The grade of the Main street and
Agricultural Park railroad is being
raised on good portion of the route.
