accomplishment and ability of the lady

be no doubt but that they are giving thor

is worthy of strong compensation, being

ARRESTED AT OAKLAND.-In this CITY last
March young man named Charles Z.
jackson, late arrival from the East, cut
figure for while. He made the acduaint-
ance, among Others, of Samuel b. Slight,
with whom he became so familiar as TO
show him letters from his (Jackson's)
mother, in Milwaukee, which were very
nicely written. Jackson represented that
his mother was wealthy, and was very
anxious for him to return home-the case
being something like that of the prodigal
son. He worked the matter up so cleyerlv
that he succeeded, on forgery of his
mothers name, in getting $50 from Mr..
Slight and shortly afterwards disappeared.
The police, believing that Jackson had re-
turned East, wrote TO Chicago, Milwaukee
and other places in that direction, but also
took care to correspond concerning him
with the officers of California cities. Moth
ing was heard of him until few DAYS ago,
however, when Captain of Police Thomas.
of Oakland, arrested him. He is said to
admit the forgery. An officer will go down
to-day to get him.
STOLE A SKIFF.--A few days ago a skiff
belonging to Henry Eugene, of Washing
ton, was stolen from in front of that town.
Its owner went down the river to hunt it

George Parker was in possession, and was
taken to Collinsville, from which place he
was brought up to Washington. He gave
statements of the manner in
which he came into possession of the craft.
The case was heard yesterday by Justice
Sculley, who found him guilty of petit
larceny.
