The DANA's TRIP.-The steamer Governor
Dana has returned from the trip to Red
Bluff. This boat was the first steamer to pass
up the river to that point in about twelve
years. Her arrival there was greeted by
joyful acclamations, the raising of flags and
focked to the landing to look upon
the steamer as upon some great cur1os-
ity. Yet twelve years ago steamers de-
parted regularly from San Francisco and
Sacramento for Red Bluff, far up the Sacra-
mento river as it is and had done so for very
many years Heretofore. The very full and
accurate reports concerning the damage by
flood along the upper river which have ap-
peared in the RECORD. UNION daily since
tuesday last were sent by the RECORD
UNIONS special representative who went
from here to Red Bluff on the Governor
Dana for that purpose. For favors shown
the reporter by the Captain and officers of
the Dana and the facilities afforded him by
them to gather facts for the information of
the public the thanks of this journal are due
SUCCESSFUL DUCKING.-Joe Kane went
duck. hunting with his little boat and gun
down between r and Y streets yesterday,
and, returning about o'clock, met at Third
and + streets H. Eckhardt, who had also
been cunning, was tired and wanted to get
into Kane's boat and ride with him up town.
Kane refused the. request at first, as he said
his boat would not carry two; but Eckhardt
persisted and was at last allowed to get in.
All went nicely until they got out where the
water was about ten feet deep, when all at
once the beat capsized and plunged them
both into the water all over. They swan
out, and after fishing with rakes for an hour
or two found their guns stuck in the mud at
the bottom of the lake As a matter Of
safety, it would be better not to say anything
about " ducking" to either of the adven-
turers to-day.
