mentans returned to the city yesterday and
last evening, and their friends being at the
o.epoE - many instances 20 4rue,ve them,
the joyAns gfGe1i..a. - Is were well calculated
20 make the spectator who was triendiess
in the city feel exceedingly lonesome.
Samuel Rodda, violently insane, was
taken to the asylum at Stockton by Sheriff
Lord, of Nevada county, yesterday morn
ing. Some time ago his skull was tract
ured being mt by piece of rock when
blast was let off while he was at work in
mine. and the injury has caused his brain
trouble Owing TO his being very violent,
he was confined in straight-jacket, and
had to be fastened to the seat of the car in
which he rode, to prevent him from iniur.
ing himself and others.
The little dumb boy who got on the |
wrong train at Oakland Thursday evening
and was brought to this city is still at the |
station house, as bis people have not been
heard from, and no one knows where 10 |
send him If word does not come to-day, |
the Principal of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind |
Asylum at Berkeley, which, it is thought, |
he has been an inmate of, will be commu
nieated with. The little fellow has made |
himself perfectly at home in his present |
quarters, and evidently is not worrying.
Captain W. NJ. Siddons was the recipient |
of surprise last evening, when Il number |
of friends gathered at his place of business |
and through conductor Dan West, who is |
known by everybody, presented him, on |
behalf of Sam Moore, of San Francisco, |
with an article of wearing apparel he has
needed for nearly 40 years, though he did |
not seem to be aware OF it-a handsome
silk necktie Dams speech was short and o
the point, much as when he says tickets,
but the recipient of the gift, completely
taken by surprise and overwhelmed with
qualification, could only murmur some
thing about having the wires off in a
minute" and they found out what he
meant afterwards. The eloquent remarks
made by Wyman McMitchell, Commodore
Nelson and others subsequently showed
that many an unsupported orator infests
the community.
