Some time ago Mr.. Robert Williams,
nsar this place, heard one of his wife's
ducks making noise AZ il something
was after it; he got out of bed and went
to where she was, but could not SEQ or
hear anything. He went the second
time, but with the same result. He told
his wife no guessed the duck had gone
crazy. Next morning he went to where
the old duck was sitting upon her eggs,
under brush pile, and-imagine his
astonishment--he saw large black snake
coiled up under the duck, his spakeship
having swallowed twelve eggs. Mr..
Williams cut it's head off, cut it open,
took the eggs and placed them under the
duck. and eleven OF that dozen matched.

A Runaway vesss! Captured.

Last Summer Mr.. Chico FORSTER,
of this county. boing then in San
francisco, conceived the idea tha
it would be good venture to ga nd
a cargo of produce down to Lower
California. Accordingly, he fitted
out the schooner Three Sisters
with o cargo worth between So, 900
and $4,000, chartered her at $3.50
per month, and placed her in
charge of supercargo, with Or
ders to trade along the coast. The
schooner cleared from San Fran
cisco in August last. Months
passed, and Mr.. Forster began to
think it was time he heard some
thing from the three Sisters. A
snort time ago he came across O
man in Los Angeles who had been
one of the crew of the schooner,
and learned from him that Mr..
Superoargo had been running the
vessel up and down the lower
coast for some mouths, apparently
wholly on his own account, hav-
ing long since disposed of the
cargo, and showing no present
intention Of returning and COM
ing to u settlement with his
employer. This state of affairs,
with the vessel running up bill of
$3.50 per month, did not afford
a pleasant prospect. Prosecuting
his inquiries further, Mr.. Forster at
last heard that the schooner was at
the port OF Ensenada, about 80
miles down the coast from San Di-
ego. and thither he at once proceed
ed overland. Arriving at Ensena-
da, he found the '.rhree Sisters" at
anchor, waiting, as the captain in
| formed him under orders of the en-
terprising supercargo, for passen-
gers for La PaZ. The supereargo,
for reasons of his own, did not de-
sire meeting with Mr.. Forster,
and prudently kept out of sight.
After vain!y endeavoring to reach
the man, Mr.. Forster went on
board the vessel and ordered the
captain to make sail for San Diego.
AS the vessel was getting under
way, man came off and forbid
them from sailing. Mr.. Forster or
dered the fellow TO 60 ashore, and
the schooner proceeded to sea, ar
riving at this port yesterday morn

Murder in San Diego County.

A correspondent sends the follow
ing in relation to q murder com.
mitted on the Laguna Rancho:
On Saturday, the 2lst Inst, das.
tardly murder was discovered d on
the Laguna Rancho, San Diego
County. A man named John B.
Foster, in the employ, as herder, OF
the Messrs. Sumner & Co., was
discovered lying dead at the door of
his hut, shot through the heart.
When found he had been dead for
about u day. The door of the hut
was broken open and the contents
scattered about. Probably the rob
ber was surprised by Fosters COM
ing up and therefore shot him dead.
All that is missed is a revolver "a
ravy Colt and belt, which Foster
usually wore. At present there is
no clue to the perpetrators of this
cowardly act, but every effort Is be-
ing made to track the murderers,
and it is believed they will soon be
brought to Justice.
Foster was much esteemed man,
quiet and inoffensive in his ways
and liked by all. He is believed to
have been q Pennsylvania by
birth, but lived for some years in
Marysville, and for the last foui
years he has been in the Messrs.
Summers employ, who had the
highest opinion Of him. His num-
erous friends in Los Angeles and
elsewhere will be deeply grieved al
his sud end.
