Pioohsr, We CLEAN from the Sentinel Of
the 9Th inst. The person mentioned
was sent from here to Eureka in hopes
that, when on reaching the railroad, she
would mako her way to Sacramento,
where she has wealthy relations living:

street, who had been out calling, was
surprised on her return to find her house
in possession of an old woman who, dur
ing her absence had spread her ward
robe on the floor and was evidently Sc
Letting the articles that met her approval
to replenish her dilapidated habiliments.
Mrs. A. was naturally alarmed and had
to call for assistance before the woman
could be induced to leave the premises.
The woman 10 known as Madame Caduc,
half-demented, drunken wretch, who.
becoming o burden to the town Of
Phoebe, was shipped on freight team
to Eureka by the charitable citizens Of
the former place. We would suggest
that Eureka is not an aims house, and
although We have no paupers of our own
We do not stand in any immediate need
Of the article.
