LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Sacramentan, whose premises were under the
drainage overflow, concluded to navigate to
his wood-pile, hundred feet back. Being
unblessed with gum boots, he strapped half
section of garden pank-walk To three barrels,
and on this improvised gondola, with beam
pole as the pitman, and his backbone and
sturdy legs in resistance thereto as motors he
sailed from the back steps, and by polling his
helm managed to tack about the cherry tree
and keep to leeward of the hen-house and an
ether prominent appurtenance of his
residence, and made the woodstock
port in fine style, and to the adj
miration of his wife and children,
who watched the nautical exploit from the
kitchen window. He took in cargo of
wood sufficient to bring the gunwale of his
craft to the waters edge, and started on the
return trip over new route. This time he'd
come straight up the garden walk, he would,
and so he piled the pole at rear. He got his
ship under fine Roadway, and was plying the
bean stick lively, when it suddenly stuck in
the mud, and before he could quit his hold
the gondola glided from beneath his feet and
he struck the water on the fat of his back,
In his S26 overcoat, with splash that sent
the spray clear over the blackberry vine on
the tall trellis. He arose like Neptune from
the sea, and sight more uncomfortable, and
struck out for the house, but the bottle on
the buffet was empty, his hannels were not
aired, and the ginger was out, and for these
reasons he AYERS he's g cod the bost biserable
gold in his ed, and be has the good sense to
tell the story of his voyage and its tragic
ending every time he meets an acquaintance,
and thus forestalls the joke his neighbors
had upon him.

WARNING.-The inhabitants of the north
ern portion of the city have been seriously
annoyed, during past seasons, by various par
ties who deposited cart loads of refuse matter
in the neighborhood of their residences. The
injury has not been purely local, as much of
the deposit has been near the bank of the
American river that the high water carried it
down past the city water works. The nui-
sance became so aggra rating that vigilant
measures were taken to prevent its recurrence,
and as result the first offender of the season
was recently arrested and fined by Justice
L. t. i
that the offense was of such serious nature
that he should feel it his duty to increase the
punishment upon each new conviction until
the limit of the law was reached. If possible,
the Board of Health should designate some
locality in which such offensive matter can
be lawfully deposited.

night for the sand-lot bowler now in the local
penitentiary at San Francisco. for an infringe
ment of law of his city. 1t failed utterly.
Notwithstanding the call no crowd gathered.
and the few who assembled at Fourth and X
streets were there in response to the cries of a
patent nostrum vender Leading members
of the Workingmen party were very earnest
that the reporters should announce that the
party had nothing to do with the call, and
was opposed to it, and that only an old
nOssy-back fanatic and rattle-headed son
of the green sod were responsible for the
effort.
