county, a few miles above the city, met
with an accident on Monday. Just as the
wagon left the bridge he noticed that some
kegs OF nails, forming a portion of the

that one of the wheels ran over his foot,
crushing some of the bones.
The steamer Modoc arrived at the levee
4,H.e., I
bringing her cargo of so tons of general
freight. She barely touched while crossing
the Y-street bar. As the river has fallen
two or three inches and NAV be expected
to fall further, it is probable that the Bay
boats will soon be again compelled to re-
main below the bar while their freight is
brought to the city on barge7 unless the
wingdams which the Seller is constructing
cut out the channel.
The official notification of his appoint
ment as Postmaster of Sacramento was re-
ceived yesterday by Mr.. Stephens Post
master Green, upon the arrival of the

will be completed ard forwarded in a few
days, but that Mr.. Stephens viii not hasten
to assume the duties of the Office, and may
not do so for three or four weeks
j. G. Gallagher, who was arrested few
days ago for false pretenses, has been trem-
bling on the verge of deirium tremens
since his incarceration in the station-h house,
and has imagined great number of queer
things. Day before yesterday he concluded
that he was suffering from infammatory
rheumatism in his foot, but the City Ply
stefan, who was called in to see him, soon
found that it was only imagination. Hav-
ing found himself worried over decisions,
the prisoner doubtless concluded that he
was again troubled in that manner when
the bear quartered in the Jail yard climbed
upon his den and peered through grated
window at him. He shivered little when
he saw the ANIMAL but didn't say any
thing.
