quite high, and rising, in Oregon and
| Washington Territory. and high, but fall
| ing, in California. The temperature last
night was from l0 to 1S0 colder than the
twenty-four hours preceding; in fact, there
/ hut
along the coast that were warmer than
| twenty-iour hours before These were
| Cape Mendocino, Red Bluff and Los An

San Francisco paper stated yesterday
morning as evidence that ]. w. Mccarthy
| had not gone to Honolulu, that Sacra-
mento Supervisor had said that he saw him
on board the East-bound overland train
| which left San Francisco at 3 p. NJ. of Satur-
day laSt-Some time after the Honolulu
| steamer sailed from the Bay. At yester-
days meeting of the Board the Supervisors
were all interviewed to ascertain which of
! them saw the missing clerk, but there was
| general answer in the negative.
A Sacramentan took from the craw of a
chicken, purchased at X street market
| day or two ago, q little china doll, an inch
and half or two inches in length. 1t was
minus both arms, a leg and both feet, but
there is no evidence that the fowl pulled
| them off and ate them before swallowing
the body of the doll. The matter is one of
much interest to the rising generation"
for if small chickens have acquired taste
for dolls. there may be blood upon the
face OF the moon for little children when
the big Shanghai ROSTERS and other large
| fowls are around.
A few days ago 4 Chinaman was con-
victed of larceny in the Police Court, and
| in due time the officers took his description
and picture for their rogues gallery. While
he was being inquired of as to his age, etc,
| he produced return or Consular certifi-
cate, upon which he had returned from
China, and offered it as q document from
which the officers could make their mem
oranda. When be was measured it was
found that his hight did not agree with the
| figures of the certificate by half an inch.
| and, in fact the only thing that made the
certificate fit him was a scar on his face.
| w. w. Faber, of Latrobe, was in the city
yesterday, and applied to the Board of Su-
pervisors for information. lie stated that
some time since a Chinaman who had been
working for him quit, or was discharged
and in packing up his property managed to
stow away q pair of Mr. Faber's blankets
Subsequently Faber found the Celestial at
or near Folsom, searched his bundle found
the blankets, and took them and the China
man into Justice Sturgis' Court, Folsom,
where the Chinaman was convicted of petit
larceny. The blankets were awarded to
their owner, but the latter was notified that
he must pay costs OF Court, which amount
ed to more than the blankets were worth
He refused, and the Justice retained the
blankets. Mr.. Faber desired the Supervisors
to inform him what authority the Justice
had to do SO. The Board couldn't tell, and
| therefore directed their clerk to write to
Justice Sturgis and make inquiry.
