The disease among cattle in this vicinity
referred to in the REcoRD-U MON few days
since, is still spreading. 1t is of very
mild form. and although 100 cases have
been reported SO far, there has not been a
single death
The steamer Alvarado. which has been
leaking badly lately, has been taken to the
mud flat on the Yolo side of the river, OPP
posite the foot of l. street, so that if she
should sink she would not go down to a
troublesome depth.
Much complaint is made that the trees
lining the streets in various portions of the
city have been allowed to remain UNI
trimmed, and their branches cause much
annoyance to people driving in vehicles,
especially after dark.
Chief Jackson has specially directed the
members of the force to look to the inforce-
ment of the city ordinance prohibiting
citizeRS from irrigating their gardens and
grass plats except between the hours of
and a. NJ, and 5 and ?. NJ.
Scott Griffith, 12-year-old son of A.

west of Woodland, y olo county, was danger

Requiem high mass will be celebrated in

remains of the late Father Thomas Petit,

be forwarded to Marysville this afternoon
for interment.
Supervisors Smith and Bailey, who re-
turned yesterday from consultation with
the Supervisors Of SolanO county on the
for the counties to unite in
prosecuting the hydraulic miners, are in
clined to believe that Solano county Will
not give much support to the movement.
His name was Marshall He played faro
in this city Thursday night while very
drunk, lost what money he had about him.
and then $4,000 check. He has stopped
payment on the check, but doubtless it was
transferred by the winner to a third party,
and Marshall is probably out and injured.
John Healey, who was arrested on Thurs
day by officer Kent on suspicion of his be-
ing an escape from the Insane Asylum, an
nounced yesterday that his name was John
Donovan; meanwhile dispatch had been
se-t by Sheriff Estill to see if a party by
the name of Healey was an escape, and an
swer was returned that no one of that
name had got away. a subsequent dis
patch was sent, inquiring as to the name of
Donovan. The prisoner is evidently in
sane, escape or not.
It may have been supposed by thosewho
saw Chief Jackson bareheaded in a skitf
rowing vigorously on the Sacramento yes
terday afternoon, that he was practicing for
boat race but such was not the case. He
and officer Arlington were crossing the
Sacramento and Yolo bridge when the
Chiefs new five-dollar hat blew off into the
stream II foated down to a barge, and
was carried beneath it. The Chief got a
boat and FASTENED to the stern of the barge,
To save his head-coyering when it should
reappear but, though he watched and
waited, perspired and calculated, the hat
never gladdened his view again As he
rowed back TO land he thought he heard
Arlington, roosting on the bridge, whistling
something about THE Ship that Would
Never Return"
MORE GREER" The paper across the
way, the chief characteristic of which is
its unbounded belief in the gullibiIity Of
the public concerning its boasts of its own
importance and from which one might be
led to believe that it greases the gudgeons
Of the globe, has a small-sized row on
hand with Il former advertiser. In this the
RECORD [ MON has no possible concern
one way or the other; but the contempO-
rary referred 10 goes out of its way by an
innuendo IN an effort to drag it in. Our
neighbor speaks of travelling agent adj
vertising in its columns because it is
the best local advertising medium, etc.
This latest example of cheek tcstifies to the
NEST prodigioUs case of self-infation on
record, and is amusing because of its amaz-
ing effrontcry. IF advertising value is to be
measured by one-fourth of the mendacious
assumptions of the paper in question, of
which the public has lately had daily
doses, il must be admitted that our neigh
Dor is of vast importance-in its own esti-
nation.
METROPOLITAN THEArER.-The Tennes-
see Jubilee Singers last night gained
greatly in favor, securing any number of
recalls. The new programme is a marked
improvement and the voices have more Of
clearness and yigor Miss Holmes was
especially successful III character and
motto songs last evening, as also was Miss
Robinson III her quaint plantation songs,
Miss Rouse in new role and AIcCabe and
Young in character acts. The songs given
by this company have thus far been genu-
inc reproductions from the melodies OF the
cruel slavery days. Dan Lewis, late of
Callender's Ministries, joined the company
last night and made a decided hit in his
original sentimental and comic solos. In
his political songs. one for each side, he
got up a small sized convention excitement.
A matinee this afternoon and the final en-
tcrtainments this evening and tomorrow
night. The Singers yesterday visited the
colored school and sang for the children,
much to their delight.
