CRTHIEAL CAsEs.-In the bigamy case in
the Superior Court, yesterday was principally
occupied in hearing expert testimony in rela-
ton TO the letters said to have been written
by Landes to Hrs. Finn, in which she is adj
dressed as holding the relation of wife to the
writer; also in relation to the so-called
Brighton marriage certificate. The testimony
for the people will close this forenoon, and
the evidence for the defense will no doubt &C.
cupy not less thsn two days. The case of
Mrs. Marcy A. Hamilton for the murder of
her husband, which was placed on the calen-
dsr Tor s.ial yesterday, was continued until
the p instant. The passing of sentence
upon Nm Gale, convicted of rape, was post
poned, upon motion of his counsel, until the
2lst Instant The cases of G. w. Brown
and Il. S. Burnett, alias Samuel Davis, held
upon information for grand larceny, for steal
ing q span Of horses some time since upon the
upper Stockton road, were formally passed,
and another information fled against them
charging them with receiving stolen prop
erty, knowing the same to have been
stolaz. The defendants claimed at the pre-
hminarV examination, that they bought the
horses Ia the southern part of the city from
a party 20 them unknown. They still
claimed this 90 be q fact. Upon the filing of
the Information charging them with receiv-
ing stolen property, knowing the same to be
stolen, they were arraigned and pleaded
guilty and asked that sentence be passed
upon them. II is evident, from circum-
stances that they supposed the extent of
punishment for this crime was confinement
in the County Jail, but in this they were
mistaken, ard Judge benson gave them each
a term q two years IN the Folsom State
Prison. The Information for the higher
crime viii be dismissed.
POLICE CoUEF.-In the Police Court yes
terday Dod McCIntock was fned SO and
costs for disturbance of the peace All Lee
was examined upon charge of assault to
murder, and was held to answer with bail
fixed at 50, 600. Thomas Early, arrested for
petit larceny, was discharged, no complaint
having been fled, the prosecuting witness,
- Ar,e
the ground that TIE defendant had been i'm
posed upon by his attorney, which he seemed
to think was sufficient punishment for any
ordinary offense. Fred. Sexton pleaded
guilty to stealing the pair of handouts from
the premises Of McCants, and he was sent to
the County Jail 90 aid in the chain-gang for
70 days. John Broderick was found not
guilty Of disturbing the peace and discharged.
Bill Dawson was found slightly guilty OF
same charge aud ordered to be kept in con-
finement in the city Jail for a hours.
- McQuarthsr was decided to be similarly
guilty and given same sentence. +. LaPeake

deadly weapon and held to the Superior
Court: bail fixed at 81, 900. John Gale, alias
VIM. Harvey, and Frank Williams, exam
ined upon charge of robbery, and held to an
swer with 81 900 bail named for each. The
Court then adjourned.
The CALIFORNIA PAcFIc.-A pile driver
was being placed in position yesterday back
of Washington to commence repairs to the
damaged portions of the California Pacific
line between here and Davisville There viii
be about 3, 600 feet of pile trestle. work, and
the work OF driving the piles will be COM
menc=d to-day, il the weather permits. 1t is
understood that The repairs will be carried on
from this and the other end of the damaged
locality at the same time, with a view to
completing the work as soon as possible, 1t
has been decided not to raise the track above
the former grade, but sufficient discharge ca
pacity for the water past it will be obtained
by extended trsstle-work. The portion OF
the elevated grade which was faced on the
upper side with granite Is found to have
wiJhssood the food without injury, and it is
probable the whole length of embankment
which comes within the current in time OF
food and broken levees, will now be thus
protected.
THE RTyxR. - The water in the river
showed a heavy fall yesterday, caused by the
wind changing from the north. 1t would
naturally be expected that a cold wind from
the north would at present have caused a
rapid falling Of the river from its stopping
the melting of snow and drying up the water
from the ground: but while this Is the ten
dency, so far as the quality Of the north wind
is concerned, still a heavy norther, like that
which has just prevailed, always has the OPP
posite effect when the tules and low lands
are covered with overhsw, and for the reason
that the strong wind blows the water out
from these into the river and thus keeps ii
from falling. During the past blow from the
north the river nearly maintained its hight
butyesterday the wind changed to the east,
and last evening the water at the gauge
showed fall of eight inches within the last
twenty-four hours, and then marked 10 feet
inches
