Frank Farley, while hauling load of
freight to Will Leman's ranch, in Yolo
county, 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
load, We're in danger of falling off. He
reached back to save them, lost his balance
and fell to the ground in such manner
that one Of the wheels ran over his foot,
crushing some of the bones.
The steamer Modoc arrived at the leyee
from San Francisco yesterday morning,
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 may 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 a barge7 unless the
wlngdams 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
official document, handed the same to the
new appontee and extended his hearty
congratulations upon his appointment 1t
is understood that the necessary bond, etc,
will be completed ard forwarded in a few
days, but that Mr.. Stephens will not hasten
to assume the duties of the Office, and may
not do so for three or four weeks.
]. G. Gallagher, who was arrested few
days ago for false pretenses, has been trem-
bling on the verge of delirium tremens
since his incarceration in the station 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
sician, who was called in to see him, soon
found that it was only Imagination Hay-
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.
