Jay Gould will break ground here
on the Texas Pacific In sixty days'

Gould's favor, and held back to

Councilman Kuhrts, who has
been on q hunting expedition to
the Mojave, brought back with
him a full grown antelope which
he and his party captured. It had
been struck on the neck by spent
or CHANGING shot, that stunned 1t
for time. 1t has already become
quite tame, though but few days
have elapsed since it's capture, and
is greatly priced by Mr.. Kuhrts's
little ones.
A large number of people drove
down to National City yesterday
afternoon to see the landing of the
big 4S ton locomotive-the first
railroad locomotive ever seen at
San Diego. The arrangements for
landing, by Master Mechanic Sea
mans, were perfect, and the i'm
mense piece of mechanism was
placed on the track as easily as if
it had been more toy. We hail
the arrival OF this first locomotive
as an suspicious event.--SnD Diego
