LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

OPIUM DEN RAIDED.-Officers Arlington
and Valentine made raid upon the Ogg
House, on l. street. between Second and
Third, about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, for
the purpose of unearthing an opium den
which it was confidently believed existed
upon those premises. Their efforts resulted in
discovering regular opium den in rented
room in the third story. One of the back
rooms was occupied for this purpose and
three interesting individuals-Matt. Barrett,
Tom Morgan and Jennie Perkins, all of San
Francisco-were found in the room, and the
first two, lying upon the floor on a quilt at
the pipe with the layout tor opium smoking
lying between them. Their female pal was
not smoking at the time. The three were
taken in hand and conveyed to the po-
lice jail, but were released TO await
obtained from friends of like ik. The
opium-pipe and layout captured with them
are of costly quality. and indicate that this
den of infanly was of the gilt-edge order.
The defendants have intimated that they will
make stout show of defense, probably with
a view of securing the implements of their
den which were taken with them, and which,
1t may be safely prophesied, will re-
main in the curiosity Golfers of the Chief of
GERS making the exploration and captures in
this case is worthy of commendation, and
frequent repetition of such service will prove
efficacious in suppressing this terrible evil,
which is so rapidly spreading and gaining
votaries in this city.

In turning from the walk it threw several
bales off and with them a man who was load
ing. He struck partly under the bales, but
in some unaccountable way escaped serious
injury. In front of 2. 81. Russells grocery
store the delivery wagon of that establish
ment was slightly collided with, bat causing
no greater injury than marring the wheels.
The horse continued as far as the Pacific
market, near Seventh street, when it ran be-
tween the walk and the delivery wagon of
Chistianson Bros, and was blocked and
brought to a standstill, the flying rig escaping
injury, but bending the rear axle badly of
the vehicle, which stopped it.
