NOVEL STYLE OF REMovAL.-In order to
make some track improvements back of
the round-house, it was found that section
foreman Billy Closes office and tool house
would have to be removed, and ii was de-
cided to place il on the river bank, below
the bridge. As its removal by the ordinary
process would cause the railroad tracks to
be obstructed too much, the building was
placed upon a low flat car, and a locomotive
soon transferred it to its new location. 1t
was a novel sight to see a two story house
being handled as freight in that manner,
and suggested the practicability of remov-
ing whole villages from n locality to an
other along the line OF railroad.
"THE IRISH LAD."-At Turner Hall this
evening Jack Burke, of New York, the
Irish lad F." who came out to San Fran
cisco recently to meet Jack Dempsey, but
was disappointed, owing to the authorities
refusing to give a license for the entertain
ment, has arranged for a starring tour of
the principal cities of the State, and will
appear at Turner Hall this evening in a
contest with Tom Norton, of this city,
whom he undertakes to knock out in five
rounds. There will also be, prior to the
main event, several interesting exhibitions
of sparring between Sacramento and San
Francisco boxers. Admission to the lower
floor, 10 cents; gallery, 90 cents
RIGHrEoUsLY INDIGNANT.-Last Sunday,
when the steamer Varuna was going up the
river. a member of the crew, who had been
drinking to excess for several days, and was
delirious in consequence, removed his shoes
and handed them to a friend, telling him to
take care of them, as he was going odrown
himself. made some other preparations, and
iumped overheard. After rising to the sur
face he began swimming vigorously, not
apparently with the design of going ashore,
but from natures promptings. A boat put
off from the steamer and picked him up,
though he resisted desperately. and cursed
his rescuers for interfering with his plans.
ANOTHER ExcURsIoS.-There was such a
general expression of pleasure and satisfae-
ton at the recent excursion to the upper
end of the California and Oregon Railroad,
and desire for its repetition, that 1t Is con-
templated to run another similar train to
abe front on the 18th. The arrangements
have not yet been definitely made, but the
trip will probably occupy Il more day
than before, and it is understood that Pull
man drawing-room cars may be substituted
for the silver palace coaches, and possibly
that a %dining-car for providing lunches will
be among the accessories OF the outfit.
BALL AT DErERDINe's.-A ball will be
given this evening at Deterding's Hall,
Hangtowa Crossing, ten miles from Sacra-
mento. on the Folsom road. and a grand
time is anticipated, as Mr.. Deterding thor
oughly understands the management OF
such affairs. Jones & Beebe will furnish
the music Tickets for gentleman and Ia
