terday evening of alcoholic apoplexy,
lie May Bros report of the London hop
market, for September Goth, is to the effect
that there was no alteration in prices in
that market. Picking was over generally,
and the growth, so far as seen, was of ex-
ccptionally fine quality.
As there appears to be misunderstood
ing on the part of some III regard to the
date of Hon. Creed Haymonds meeting at

meeting will take place on the Goth inst,

Officer Sullivan arrested yesterday on
dispatch from San Francisco a man named
Samuel solomon, who is wanted at the Bay
for felony. Officer Parrotte came up last
evening for the prisoner. The latter was re-
Gently released from prison on a pardon of
Governor Stoneman, on condition that he
leave the State, and his failure to do 50 is
the occasion of his arrest.
Recently, in a saloon, a gentleman ex-
hibited half-dollar with a hole in it big
enough to shoot a pea through, aid was
making some remarks as to his carelessnesS
in taking it. when the proprietor of the
place said, - Let me take il, and I'll plug it ,
up so no one will notice it." His offer was
accepted, and he filled the hole SO nicely
with lead that few minutes later the
owner of the piece passed it upon him, and
received change back in proper form!
Hash Everybody knows him, and
everybody likes him-is a member of the !
Mckenna Guard, and intends to take part |
in the torchlight parade Monday night |
Not being well up in horseback riding, he |
has for the past few days been doing little |
practicing. 1t was awkward at first and |
one day he rode into 4 wire fence, left out |
by some careless person. No serious damage |
was done, and, as he remarked - 4 little |
dings like that makes no difference; it |
dond't amount to nodings."
Johnnie Craig and Isle PedIar, of Wood |
land, were ont practicing with toy pistol, |
belonging to the former, at an early hour !
Thursday morning, when the pistol was |
accidentally discharged, inHcting painful, |
though not serious flesh wound in Isles |
right hand, from which the shot has not |
yet been extracted. The Woodland Demo- |
crat says these are the same young sports |
men who were parties to the target prac- |
tees of several months ago, in which |
Johnnie's gun sent an accidental shot !
through the fleshy part of Isles LEG. from |
which it will be readily inferred that the |
little boys and guns of that ncighborhood |
form dangerous compound. 1t would be |
better, perhaps, TO lock the arsenal before |
the boys succeed in getting up funeral
EARLY CLosISG.-In accordance with
the movement for early closing of the
business houses in Sacramento, about all
the proprietors of establishments dealing
in dry goods, boots and shoes, hats and
caps and furnishing goods, have entered |
into an agreement to carry out the desires
of the employees, and which will go into
effect on Monday evening next The
change will prove no dctriment, it is be-
Hcved, to the merchants, while it will give
employees an opportunity TO become better
acquainted with their wives and families
such as are blessed with these ''unspeak-
able gifts and enable those who are not.
TO acquire the same, or otherwise improve
the evening hours to their educational or
physical advantage. Such as are disposed
to improve their minds will no doubt be
Dcllctttt " iHe new metNOu, ana those
who occupy the extra hours thus secured
in sowing wild oats will. by the extra
time provided. soon have their crop har-
vested and their places filled by other and
better employees, under the rule of sur
viyal of the tittest.' Thus good seems
promised III both instances.
