The barometer is high but rapidly falling
north OF California, with foul-weather sun
sets reported and light rain falling at Olvm-
pia and Portland. The wind is from some
sOutherly quarter. The weather is clear at
all Signal Service points in this State The
temperature at o'clock last night was
from 10 to 30 warmer than at the same time
24 hours preceding.
The steamer San Joaquin, No. 4, brought
up from San Francisco yesterday q barge
load of ties, bridge timbers, etc, for the
narrowgauge railroad now being built in
Colusa county, and the Dover will take the
material to its destination this morning.
The construction of the road has been de-
layed because of the non-arrival of this
material on time at San Francisco by YES
sells from up the coast.
About l o'clock yesterday afternoon a
team belonging to Steve Bentley, of Yolo
county, became frightened at a fire engine
which was hurrying to respond to an alarm
OF fire, and ran through Second street to J.
down j to Front, and along to I,where they
were stopped by man on horseback. Chief
Jackson and officer Farrell who were in
the Chiefs buggy, had very narrow es-
cape from being run into.
The resident of the lower portion of the
city who complained recently relative to
misconduct on the part of a camp of gyp-
sizes, at Fourth and u streets, states that he
is convinced that he did them Injustice in
saying that they were drunk, as he has
ascertained that none of the party indulge
in liquor. He made his statements from
what his neigbbors told him, and finds the
accounts of the disturbance exaggerated.
John Corley, who was fined S25 in the
Police Court a few days ago for misdc-
meanor in burying the remains of an in
FAINT in a manure pile within the city
limits and yesterday forfeited the deposit
he had put up after being arrested for be-
ing drunk, has been arrested on a warrant
accusing him of battery upon Kitty Dol
soa, mother of the infant referred to above,
1t being alleged that the offense took place
but few days after the child was born
The case will be tried next Wednesday.
There have been left at this Office samples
of second growth apples, grown upon a tree
in Mr.. Peck's garden on Eighteenth street,
between NJ and n, and second growth
pears from tree belonging to Mrs. NJ. De-
Pue, \ street, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth. Both trees had borne fine
crops previously during the season. One
OF the apples is nearly three inches in
diameter, and the others as large as a base
ball. The pears are from an inch and one
half to two inches through from one side
TO the other.
Capt. Foster, who has been on a trip I'D
the river, states that few days ago three
large waterSpouts were observed in opera
ton over the foothills ten or fifteen miles
from Williams, Their movements were
plainly to be seen from the river and gave
lne DeAOluerS lne impression mat IL was
fortunate the "spoutS" were operating in
an almost unsettled locality. None so far
as he could learn, had been noticed in that
section before, and the fact of their appear
ance, coupled with that of the White Rock
cyclone of last Saturday leads to the belief
that California may soon be troubled with
more visitations of that character
The Woodland Democrat of yesterday
states that Mr.. Head, of the Port Costa
Foundry, is putting in pump at the lower
end of the slough at Knights Landing, for
Reclamation District los, that will throw
5000 gallons of water per minute from the
slough over the high levee into the river
This is 100000 gallons of water per hour,
and for ten hours 100000. The object of
this pump is to relieve the slough of the
water that flows into it and cannot escape
when the river is high, and hence flows
over upon the lands of the district. The
cost of pump and engine complete is $4,000,
with a guarantee that it shall do the work
