 HoN. GIDEON BRooKE.-This gentleman, who commands the respect and esteem of his fellow-citizsns throughout the county and elsewhere, at present Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. has found it incom patible to his interests, on account of ill health, to remain longer as Chairman of said Board. and has made up his mind to resign. Mir. B., so soon as his health will permit, in- tends visiting San Francisco for the purpose of consulting with medical experts as to the cause of his disease, which has the appear ance of rheumatics and its treatment. Mr. Brooke has made good Supervisor, always keeping a close watch on the county's in- terests, and in his resignation the people lose a good representative officer, whose place can hardly be more ably filled. Were it not that his health demands a change we believe the citizens would demur against his resignation being accepted.
