Complimentary ResoIutions.

Madison Babcock having been elected
Assistant Superintendent of the city
schools of San Francisco, resigned the
Principalship of the Sacramento Grammar
School, and leaves for his new field of
labor to-day. During his stay in this
city Professor Babcock made hosts of
friends, all of whom dislike to lose him
from this community. The following was
handed into this office last evening by the
lady teachers:
We. the undersigned, teachers in the sacra-
regret at losing Mr.. Babcock from the depart
ment and from our school.
For over two yeas we have been plea sanity
associated with him, and have found him uni
formly kind and considerate, ready to listen
courteously and thoughtfully whenever we have
needed his counsel and prompt to render us
every assistance in his power. While studying
the best interests of the children, both as indi-
viduals and as body, he has at the same time
been the earnest friend of the teachers, and we
wish to emphasize our thorough appreciation of
that fact
We hope that he will meet with complete sue
cess in his new work; that he may make hosts
OF new friends. and. still kindly remember the
old, and that he will rest a. sured that he car
ries with him our hearty sympathy and good
wishes.

Navigation of the American.

The Placer Times, published in Sacra.
mento, April %, 1850, among its local
items had the following:
A company of ladies and gentlemen as
sembled on board the Etna. new steam
boat of ten-horse power, on Wednesday
last, and enjoyed an excursion up the RiC
de los Americanos to Norristown, it being
the occasion of opening communication
through this channel with the above point
Owing TO the machinery propellipg for the
first time the youthful stranger in strange
waters, there was noticeable some degree
OF timidity in its performance, and per
baps it lessened the esteem in which
the boat was held against the cur
rent of general thought-for all on the
Etna appeared to think there was no dan.
ger of eruption. If The crater was on
board, the presence of so many beautiful
ladies quite intimidated the fires, aud q
very pleasant time the party certainly en-
loyed, returning about o'clock in the
evening. The boat is owned by Captain
Yelstou, who in person dispensed the
ginger-pop and refreshments, making him.
self quite popular, as he always does.
few delightful diities, sung by sweet lips
reminded one of that happy approaching
social era in the history of California
when
Our nights shall be filled with music,
And cares that haunt The day
Shall fold up their tents like the Arabs
And silently steal away.
The Etna is now performing regular
trips to Norristown, situated about mint
miles from Sacramento City by the Ameri

FLYING FOR REFUGE.

The Pavilion Service Last Evening-The
Dixon Meeting-Jubilee Service.
The Hammond meetings still continue
The flying trip to Dixon, and the absence
of the evangelist and helpers and fonr of
the ministers on Monday night had an
effect to cut down the attendance of that
night, but il rallied again last night, and in
spite of the cold wind there was a large
attendance. 1t is expected that the novelty
of the farewell service tonight and the
jubilee service tomorrow night will draw
large crowd.
Last night those who had gone on the
eyangelistic trip made report of
THE MEETING AT DIXON.
Rev. DR.. Wheeler and Rev. Mr. Filben
spoke of the work at Dixon, both at the
afternoon and evening meetings. All re-
ported a hearty and cordial reception, and
royal entertainment by the people of
Dixon. Three meetings were held, and
also street meeting on the plan of the
street meetings held here All these
services were very largely attended. I'm
medately on the arrival of the train q
children's meeting was held in the theater,
at which some hundreds were present
e.
ing meeting was held in the same place
THE LARGE BUILDING WAS PACKED
The pastors of Dixon, Rev Mr. Dorgen of
the Baptist Church, Rev. Mr.. Lockard of
the Presbyterian Church aud Rev. Mr. Van
Anda OF the Methodist Episcopal Church,
with Rev. Dir. Swan of Einira and Rev
DR. Wheeler, Rev. Mr.. Needhan, Rev Mr..
Baueer and Rev. Mr. Filben of Sacramento.
occupied places on the platform. Mr..
Hammond preached with his usual vigor,
and with apparent effect, and an inquiry
meeting was held that lasted till ii o'clock
This morning third meeting was held at
the Baptist Curch, before the party started
home. All the pastors reported in enthus-
lastlc terms of the meetings and the good
done.
THE PASTORS OF DIXON

Last night Mr. Hammond preached from

The services to-day run as usual, the SER

have an interest to hearers and as this is the
last in all probability that Mr. Hammond
will ever preach in Sacramento 1t will be
doubtless an occasion of great interest TO
his many friends.
To morrow night Mr. Hammond will
preside at a jubilee service at which all of
the pastors will speak mainly Of incidents
of the work here. The afternoon prayer,
praise and bible reading is held this week
at the Congregational Church at O'Clock.

How Four jolly Irishmen Captured n
/ Barrel of Stimulants.

How Four jolly Irishmen Captured n
Barrel OF stimulants.
A RECORD UNION reporter in course of a
conversation with a friend who has lived
in this city for more than thirty years,
brought up the subject of the food OF 1862
Now" said the pioneer, that you have
referred to the matter, will tell you
funny incident that happened at that time.
A few days after the water had submerged
the city party of four jolly Irishmen,
myself one of the quartet, was out in
row boat in the lower end of town, seeing
the sights and noticing the damage that
had been done to property. During our
voyage up one of the back streets we no.
ticed large barrel floating slowly away
with the current. We were not sure what
was in the cask, but determined TO make it a
prize at any cost. A few strokes of the
oars brought US along side, and We then
found that it was nearly full of some liquor
which we presumed, Irishman-like. was
the real old stuff, and our suspicious were
further confirmed when we noticed on the
head of the barrel a burned brand of Xxx
encircled by wreath. We quickly tied q
rope to our capture, and lowed 1t eight
miles up The river to where l owned
ranch AT tndt Tune. Oh Oct II was hard
work to tow that barrel up Stream against
q swift current. But we pictured to
ourselves what time we were
going to have On the strength of the con-
tents, and al last arrived al my place 1t
was no small job to land that heavy affair,
but We did 50, nevertheless. after much la
Dor. As soon as the barrel was upended
We gave the brand very close inspection,
and became fully convinced that we had
whisky enough TO keep all hands drunk
through the winter We tapped the cask,
drew the liquid-it had a beautiful color
and fine bead-and with Here's health
etc, attempted to place it down as we
would Bourbon. But it did not go
down; it caught in the boys ihroats and
nearly choked them TO death and they were
only relieved by drinking copously of
pure water. That internal, cussed barrel
was full of very bad quality of cider
vinegar Well, the cusses extenuated oaths
and long drawn-out swear words that were
used at the time have never been equaed
since. We agreed among ourselves to keep
the affair profound secret but it leaked
out at last, and it was years before we heard
the last of that barrel of whisky you fell

ABSENT MINDED. - Yesterday morning,
while the Willows train was speeding lis
way between this city and Davisville, Con-
ductor Hatch was approached by frantic
woman, who stated that she had lost her
satchel or left ii at Sacramento. 1t con-
tanned. among other valuables, some 500
in cash, and the lady wanted the train
stopped in order that she might return and
find her money. The conductor, after
listening to her story, inquired what kind
of a satchel it was, cast his sharp ewes
around, and seeing grip" that looked
like the one described, inquired of the lady
if that was the missing one. After glancing
at it intently for moment, she bounced
on it joyfully, opened it and after examin-
ing the contents, found her property intact.
Profuse thanks and apologies followed and
smile went the rounds of the entire Ger.
ATTEMPTED SAFE RoBBERy.-The store of
P. G. Riehl, at Freeport, was burglarized
Monday night, but the operators were moi
very successful. They pried off the wooden
shutters with an iron bar, broke out pane
of glass, removed the cross-par, and I'M
locked the door. They were evidently look
ing for money, as they drilled a hole in the
door of the safe, and made an unsuccessful
attempt to blow il open. They patronized
the bar quite literally, drinking nearly Two
bottles of whisky, and this no doubt &C
counts for their unsuccessful attempt TO
crack the safe. Before leaving the prerr ises
they took the small change that had been
left in the till, and q few articles from the
showcase The burglars used the dice
box and Left il on the counter, with a
note to the proprietor saying, Phil, you
lost the DRINKS"
Police CoURT.-Yes terdsy morning in
the Police Court the case of All On, charged
with conducting tan game, was heard.
Defendant was represented by his attorney,
A. l.. Hart. The testimony of Mr.. Frazee,
the arresting officer, was sufficient TO prove
the guilt OF the accused and he was held TO
answer TO the SUPERIOR Court with bail
fixed at $500. Considerable interest is
manifested in this case and large number
of Cinnamon were in attendance Frank
Swanson, who was arrested for stoning
Cinnamon. was convicted and sentenced 10
