SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. l6.-Charles NJ.
Sheffield. an attorney of this city, died
at Oakland at three o'clock this morning
from an overdose CT laudanum. He had
been in the habit Of using the drug, so it
is difficult to say whether it was taken

is that it was not. The deceased was

Company OF this city. and was 2S years
OF age. He had marked ability, and was
popular with all who knew him.
