LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

ALIAS MCGowRN.-The notice which APP.
peared in Fridays RECORD UNION concerning
" Mr.. Livingston" blk, thief and a lib
ertine, was not given smiss. as the person OF
whom. that pen photograph was taken has
been tracked and his exploits recorded. He
turned up near Elk Grows in the role of agent
for some Liverpool wheat syndicate with
fleets Of iron grain ships at his command, and
took the name of McGowen. In the midst
of his mastodonie cereal schemes he did not
forget his hypocritical role Of playing piaty,
which is his special forte. He chung TO his
4" early religious training, and his fame as a
sainted man went abroad through the neigh.
bJrhood He prayed without ceasing, and
borrowed several dollars from an old farmer
whose growing crops he had chartered for the
British bread-buyers. If he had only stuck
to his role Of prayer and buying wheat he
would have escaped the wrath to come,
but like ST. Anthony, who fell only
when temptation took the form of q woman,
Mr.. McGowen's ambition carried him too
far, and he tumbled over the battlements. In
Sonoma county, last summer, he made the
same bunder, and the indignant citizens
chased him out Of the community. He began
to pay his attentions to a young lady living
picious Of the sanity grain dealer, and for
bid him the house. The lady came to this
city to nurse an invalid relative and he fol-
lowed her and doEged her steps on the streets
until her father appeared. Then he evapO-
rated. Mr. McGowen exists in deathless
ubiquity, and has happy faculty of being
everywhere. He was seen on the streets of
this city yesterday, with a citizen from Elk
Grove on his track armed with q vicious
boxing shotgun loaded to the muzzle.
