MOVING A HOUSE OVER THE STRAITS

The ebony gentleman who for so many
wears has dispensed coffee and doughnuts
to hungry travellers on the wharf at South
Vallejo, finding that his business and the
passenger travel fell off together, conceived
the project of restoring his trade by pack
ing up bag and baggage and locating where
the ducats were more plentiful, viz: at the
Junction. Consequently he obtained per-
mission from the Commandant of the Yard
to use the anchor hoy to convey thence
said bag and baggage. Not the least
weighty article that formed part of said b.
and b. was the veritable house that had
covered his kinky sconce during these years,
and which he concluded would be less ex-
pensive to transport than to build new one.
Consequently on Saturday evening the
passengers to the city were treated to the
novel sight of house on schooner, its
ends projecting many feet over the sides OF
the vessel, and any tilt of the latter lead
ing one to believe there would be a few
rooms to let on the briny deep. However,
the hard-headed African only had one idea
in his head, and that was to transport the
mansion" in bulk, notwithstanding the
protestations of Captain Gedge and Others
tidb IL "oulu DC q uahSSiOuS Ca PNi4S'
and that be had better get the house
taken apart and sent over IN sections on
the Costa Rica. This might involve a
few dollars extra, and the contumacious
owner did not propose to expend cent
more than was absolutely necessary. For.
tunately for him, the schooner arrived
safely at the junction with its singular
load, and was duly placed, or very nearly
placed into position, on the supports along
side OF the depot. But. alas for the frailty
of human calculation, the winds that swept
around the point sent broadside against
the house, and it was precipitated into the
water, tumbling into a hundred pieces.
The floor foated off in one direction, while
the roof, sides, windows, doors, and other
parts hoated off in various other directions.
Nothing daunted, number of men were
put to work, and in a short time the pieces
were all collected and fastened to stakes
in the ground, but they present truly
cemical appearance bobbing up and down
in the water. It was rather hard, after
the worst had been accomplished, that so
unfortunate a elimination should attend
the experiment Vallejo Chronicle.

SAN Francisco, February 18th. = The
Democratic County Committee met this even
ing to consider the resolution which has been
up before the various Ward Clubs providing
for an election by the County Committee of
a Nominating Committee of one hundred, to
elect delegates to the State Convention about
to assemble to choose delegates to the Ma
tional Convention, provided that no member
of the County Committee shall be eligible to
become member of the committee of one
hundred, and that no member of the latter
shall be eligible to become delegate to the
State Convention. The committee talked
over the question about two hours, but finally
decided to lay it over till the next meeting.
1t is probable, however, that it will be
adopted, as a pressure is being brought to
that end.
