LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Pu7TDIYG IMPROVEMENTS. The work upon
the Hall Of Records is now so far advanced
as TO enable quite forecast of what its
architectural appearance is to be. The upper
portion of the cornice is now being added,
and the roof will soon be put on. The
work of improvement upon the old water
works building is progressing. The city jail
has commenced to assume very respectable
appearance, and when completed and the
Offices provided with proper furniture, suita-
BILE TO the new condition of things, the former
reproach which was used for and called jail
viii have been most agreeably changed.
The work of removing the city reser-
voir on the top Of the building from
the west to the east end, is under
Roadway. The immense tank is now upon
rollers, and on its way to the location. 1t
has already been moved about six feet, and
will be put in place in two or three days.
The small wooden premises formerly occu-
pied BY the marble and mantel works of
Boyne & Holsberg, on the south side of K
street, between Seventh and Eighth, has been
torn down to give place TO fine two-story
and basement brick building. which is now
in process of erection. 1t will contain two
fine business fronts upon the main floor. 20
by 60 feet EACH One will be occupied by
A@@N''
store-room with their manufacturing works
il the rear, and the other, it is stated, by j.
a. Merrall as hardware store. The second
stories will be handsomely fitted up for resi-
dence purposes, and one Of which will be &C.
cupied as a residence by Mr.. Boyne. The
reconstruction of tbs city Postotiice is under
progress, and the amount of old material
removed and piled up on Fourth street, to-
gether with new lumber and articles being

cheering evidence that the long suffered want
of postoffice facilities in Sacramento is really
to be, at least 10 measure, remedied.
A MYSTERIOUS AND CLOSE SHoT.-Night
before last, about midnight, local officer
Thorpe, while in the vicinity of Sixth and j
streets, heard crash of one of the large
glass in front of beer saloon at that point,
and saw three young fellows Immediately run
up the street as having caused the breakage.
Mr.. Thorpe at once gave chase after them.
and, when he had gone short distance, heard
q pistol-shot from behind, and knew the ball
passed close by his head. Having ascer-
tanned who the parties were who broke the
glass, he returned, supposing that the shot
was fred by some one seeking to aid in the
pursuit, as the only parties IN the vicinity
were three persons, whom he supposed, from
intimate fraterpal relations. were his friends,
and the saloon keeper where the breakage &C.
Cured. Upon returning. however, each one
denied all knowledge OF the shooting, although
they admitted that they heard the shot.
Upon examination it was found that the ball
passed through the crown of officer Thorpe's
hat, little above the band on the left side,
and within half an inca OF his head. The fact
that these four were the only other persons
present, renders it positive that one or more
OF them has full knowledge as to who fired the
shot, but has been successful thus far in con-
cealing the interesting item, as to who came
so near making q fatal shot, for some I'M
known and mysterious reason.
