LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

1HR BAPTIST CoSVENTIoS.-A preliminary
meeting of the Baptist State Convention was
held at the First Baptist Church. on Ninth
street, last evening. 1t was opened with re-
hgious exercises, after which Rev. NJ. d.
Gage, of Camptonville, delivered an address,
Landmarkism, is it Right or Wrong?" He
pointed out landmarkisn as the Eastern
position held by the Baptist churches in the
Southern States, in which they refuse to
recognize ministers of any other denomina-
ton, or to admit them into their pull
pits; also, refusing to recognize men,
bersFof other churches, even if baptized
by immersion, unless such immersion be ad-
ministered by Baptist minister, and this
upon the ground that clergy of this denomi-
nation alone have the proper right by success
sion to administer the ordinance. The speaker
took strong grounds against any such rigid
restrictions, and was glad that the Northern
Churches were opposed to such extreme ex-
clusivism. The address was followed by a
few brief remarks from Others after which
the meeting ad journed until tomorrow morn
ing at 9 o'clock, when the regular work of
the Convention will be commenced. There
are large number of delegates present from
different parts of the State, and the session it
is expected will be one of unusual interest to

would be able to cross Bear river, as several

q military escort consisting of the City
Guard, Sacramento Light Artillery and Sac
ramento Cadets, who marched with reversed
arms in advance of the hearse with band of
First Regiment leading the column. Mem
bers of the brigade aud regimental stats
were also in attendance. The services at the
grave were concluded by giving the usual
military salute of three volleys over the fallen
comrade. The Sarsfeld Guard omitted its
regular weekly drill on Monday evening out
of respect to the deceased, and would also
have taken part at the funeral as a company,
but for the fact that it, uniform is at present
being converted from infantry to that of ar
tillery.

also sang a bass solo. There We're two
choruses. the closing one being the 50 Gloria"
from Mozlrt's Twelfth Mass. The concert
was an excellent one in all respects, and
merited larger audience than assembled.
EFFECT OF THE RAIN.-Almost the unaui-
nous opinion of agriculturists consulted yes.
terday was that the rain has not, thus far,
damaged the crops, but on the contrary has
been beneficial In several sections the
ground was drying considerably. The grain
has not headed out sufficiently to be damaged
L 4 a l. r.1ll
wind strong enough to lodge the grain. The
only fear entertained is that a hot sun may
follow this storm and lead to rust.
PoLIcE CouRT-The following business
was transacted in the Police Court yesterday

before last, when he made his appear
ance in the city aud was arrested by officer
Jackson. He will have an opportunity tc
give his statement about the matter to the
Police Judge to-day.
WHAT Nor TO ExpEcT.-It is not too much
to expect man to pay, as an indorser; tc
sail about under close reefed mainsail with a
croupy baby at night; to endure feline ser.
enades in the small hours, uncomplainingly
but it Is merciless to expect a Sacramento
picnic committee to name date for an ex.
cursion nowadays, and not lay awake at night
and speculate about the weather.
