A man named Charles Muller stranger
in town, was seized with an epileptic fit, to
which he is subject, at the corner of Sew

Last Monday the steamer Thomas Dwyer,
running between this city and the Lower
Sacramento in the fruit trade, broke her
shaft in Steamboat slough, and has been
laid up since awaiting the completion of re-
pairs, which are so far advanced that it is
thought she will be in service again to-

Yesterday morning two Italians and
Mexican were arrested for stealing melons

| About $50 yesterday morning someone
stole II. J. Postels horse and wagon from
! the alley between K and L. Front and
Second streets. Search was made for the
property, and when it could not be found
the police were notified. About II o'clock
it was discovered on K street, where, it was
learned an individual of the tramp genus
had driven up and hitched the horse.
The wide and deep hole in the sidewalk
in front of the station-house, which has
existed for several months, is being re-
paired, delay in doing so having been
caused by the river being at so high stage
that the ground was full of water, making
it difficult to dig down TO the pipe leading
from the water works to the river, leak in
which is supposed to have caused the earth
near it to wash away.
The new boiler of the steamer Clara
Belle has been put in position on board,
but she will not be ready for service tor
intends to have her upper works greatly
improved, and fitted up conveniently for
her use as trading boat, in which she will
be engaged during the duller portion of the
season, when it will be more economical to
run her than the Neponset.
Yesterday afternoon man who was
crossing K street, at the Postoffice corner,
timed his steps, as people often do so as
to allow vehicle, which was passing down
the street, to go by before he should reach
it. He happened to glance in another
direction Just as he came up with it, and
the driver at that moment slowed down, to
let another wagon get out of his way. The
result was that the pedestrian collided with
the rear of the vehicle, and stepped one
foot into the wheel, which, in revolving,
threw him down, wrenched his ankle and
causing him to be considerably bruised.
