The WEATHER.-The weather continues
cold and windy, and yesterday sprinkle of
rain fell here. The prospects for racing, pic
MICS, etc, during this week appear somewhat
gloomy. Dispatches received at this Office
last evening show that yesterday it rained,
hailed and showed in various parts of the
State, but not generally. In many places
lightning and thunder accompanied the
storm. In the southern part of this county,
and in the vicinity of Woodbridge, Acampo,
New Hope and San Joaquin county, rain
tell IN torrents for more than an hour in
the afternoon, preceded with lightning
thunder and fall of hail. A dispatch from
Calistoga last evening says: "Rain and some
hail fell here to-day, and the top of the range
of hills on the north side of the valley showed
some snow for short tins. A similar sight
here so late in the season is not remembered
by any of the old residents. The air is some
what chilly this evening, though the heavy
clouds will prevent frost unless they disap-
pesE beiole morning. The present spring, on
account of It's GOODNESS and continued late
rains, mas been an extraordinary one for this
locality"
Sc JUNE AGAIN.-Y esterday in Depart
ment One of the Superior Court jury was
impaneled to try the Chinaman, Sc Juns, on
a second charge of receiving stolen property.
The hearing of the case will commence this
morning at $3.50 o'clock. Sc june was
recently tried for receiving stolen property
in fha ro1 IS
not guilty. Both the cases grew out of some
freight car robberies which took place last
November. The principal witness is Frank
Clifford, who has acknowledged stealing the
property and says he sold it to the China
man. Clifford was arrested one night by
George Beeler and Pat Rice, the two railroad
freight-shed officers. He had removed sev-
eral packages of tobacco before he was
caught and these were of once recovered by
the officers. AS Clifford now has an informa-
ton for burglary hanging over his head, and
Is self-convicted thief his evidence was
evidently not considered by the former jury
TO have much weight.
The FoLsoM MuRDER.-The RECORD

which the latter was cut with knife in the

tied without getting into the Courts or the
papers. He concludes by saying that there
is no doubt of the suilt of Page.
