DEATH in this city, July 27th, Margaret, daughter of Henry and Anna BARRICKLO, aged 9 years. STACK of GRAIN BURNED About 1 o'clock yesterday morning a stack of grain, on the farm of Dr. GRATTAN, about 3 miles east of this city, was destroyed by fire. It contained, as near as can be estimated, about 1600 bushels of wheat. The fire was observed from Lane's Mills, on Weber avenue, by the watchman, who, thinking that it was either on or near the premises of Dr. GRATTAN, went to the Doctor's city residence and apprised him of the fact. Dr. GRATTAN at once went to his farm and found one of his huge stacks consumed, as above stated. It was undoubtedly set on fire. It stood on low ground which had been covered with water during the winter, that location having been selected to guard against danger from phosphorus which had been distributed on higher land for the purpose of killing squirrels. It was remote from any house, and as much as 300 yards from the road side. The Doctor tells us that about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, the farm dog went to the bed-room window of Mrs! . GRATTAN, the Doctor's mother, and awoke that lady and caused her to go out of the house with a view of ascertaining what caused the dog's peculiar actions. Failing to observe anything unusual about the premises, Mrs. GRATTAN, soon returned to the house, retired and fell asleep. It was thought that the dog had seen strangers lurking or traveling in the vicinity of the grain stacks, as the sagacious animal used every effort, after he had coaxed Mrs. GRATTAN from the inside of the building, to lead her in that direction. Dr. GRATTAN offers a reward of $250 for the arrest and conviction or proof that will lead to the conviction, of the villain or villains who perpetrated the crime. ACCIDENT On Friday last, at San Francisco, W. COOPER, agent of the Stockton line of packets, met with a severe accident. A case of goods which was being hoisted on board the steamer 'Clara,' fell and struck 1 of his legs, injuring it severely. Fortunately no bones were broken. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 28 -John A. CARDMELL was taken into custody last evening on a warrant charging him with having committed an assault with a deadly weapon upon Mrs. Susan BLUMENBERG. -It will be remembered that some time ago H.M. NAGLEE filed an injunction suit to restrain J. STRATMAN and others from publishing certain letters alleged to be in possession of defendants, said letters being written by plaintiff to Mrs. Mary L. SCHELL, and partly on the strength of which a breach of promise suit was instituted by the latter against General NAGLEE, and damages demanded in the sum of $100,000. In the 4th District Court yesterday, defendant's motion to dissolve the injunction above referred to was denied, whereupon defendant excepted to the judgment of the Court. A BRAVE MAN Robert BALEY, formerly of Idaho City, was killed by the Indians lately, near Fort Laramie. He killed 15 Indians before he fell. >>TUESDAY, 30 JUL 1867<< DEATH in this city, July 29th, John, infant son of John and Anna BURNS, aged 2 months, 22 days. [Funeral at 10 o'clock a.m. today, from the residence of the parents, Washington street, 2 doors from Centre. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.] $250 REWARD The above reward will be paid by the undersigned to any person giving information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who set fire to the grain stack on my premises on the night of the 27th of July, by which a loss of about 1600 bushels of wheat was occasioned. Address, C. GRATTAN, M.D. Stockton CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Rev. Mr. BUCHANAN, pastor of the Congregational church of this city for the past 2 years, having given up his charge on account of departure, with his family, for the Eastern States, a meeting was held in the church last Saturday to secure a successor. After a long conference together, the Church unanimously voted to give a call to Rev. James A. DALY. Mr. DALY is a graduate of the College of California and of the Theological Seminary of Andover, Massachusetts. He is at present making a tour of Europe, and if he accepts the call will not be here much before November or December. We understand Mr. DALY is a young man of talent, high literary culture, and gives promise of attaining to eminence in his profession. For the present, the church will not hold public service on the Sabbath, except on the 1st Sunday of each month in some public hall, and maintain the regular church meetings of the week. DEPARTURE Rev. A.S. NICHOLSON, for many years a resident of Stockton and a gentleman highly respected, took his departure, together with his family, yesterday afternoon, for Napa, where he will officiate in Christ's (Episcopal) Church. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 29 Last evening a man named William BARRITT, residing at the corner of Bryant and Eighth streets, was seized with convulsions or cramps and died in a very few minutes. MURDER at Santa Cruz, July 29 James WOOD was murdered last night by a Chinaman. He was stabbed through the heart. SAD DEATH R.H. FARQUAHAR, Clerk of Nevada county and Union candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, was killed by an explosion of gas in the Court House in that county. It appears that the gas was on when he opened his office and on lighting a match a terrific explosion followed, blowing out the windows and cracking the walls. Mr. FARQUAHAR was killed instantly, and his brother, who was present, was badly injured. The deceased leaves a wife and 2 children. >>WEDNESDAY, 31 JUL 1867<< DEATH in this city, July 29th, Otto Henry, infant son of H.E. and [looks like maybe D.] STOOTZER, aged 4 months, 12 days. DWELLING HOUSE BURNED On Monday last the dwelling house on the farm of Charles E. BUNNELL, Cherokee Lane, was destroyed by fire. The fire, we are told, was observed by men who were at work in a field some distance from the house, and they reached the building in time to save its contents. We were unable to ascertain in what manner the calamity occurred. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 30 -Between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning Samuel C. HOPKINS went into A.J. PLATT's gun store on Sacramento street near Leidesdorff, and said he desired to purchase a derringer pistol. A pair were shown him, and he asked to have them loaded, which was done. He then said one of them would answer his purpose. They told him they could not break a set, and the pistols were put away. A smaller one was shown to him. It was loaded for him and he said that would do, and while this was being done, he walked up and down the room, but no other peculiarity of conduct was noticed. When the pistol was given to him and the proprietor turned towards his desk, in an instant the report of a pistol was heard and HOPKINS was seen with the smoking weapon against the right side of his head. He staggered backwards and fell to the floor, the brains and blood oozing from the wound near his right temple and over the hair. Surgical assistance was quickly summoned and the Coroner being informed of the occ! urrence hasted to find HOPKINS still alive, but with his right side entirely paralyzed. The wound was pronounced fatal, but as he still breathed and stirred, he was not taken from the store. He was formerly, for 10 or 12 years, connected with the firm of Coghill & Co., as employe and partner. No cause is assigned for the suicide. He never spoke after the shot was fired. Mr. HOPKINS was well known in San Francisco and was formerly in good circumstances. -This morning about 2 o'clock a man named HILLS, who has been living 2 or 3 years at the New England House, fell out of his bed and died in a few minutes. He had been ill for a year. -Early this morning a man from Coloma, El Dorado county, named J.H. BACHELDER, while coming out of the Miners' Restaurant, fell in the door and immediately expired, blood issuing from his mouth. -Early this morning a man named N.T. JOSE was found hanging by the neck in a cabin at the south end of Long Bridge, where he was stopping with several other men, employed by the fishing company at that point. He was still warm when taken down, but could not be resuscitated. He had got up in the night and tied a small cord or rope around one of the beams and to his neck and stepping off the stool on which he stood while adjusting the rope, swung clear from the floor. TRAGEDY NEAR OAKLAND, July 30 A horrible tragedy took place near Oakland this morning. For some time past a man named SAUFLY has resided with his wife and 1 child at Oakland Point, Alameda county, and followed the business of raising and selling stock. Last evening he and his wife went to a neighbor's house on a visit and left the child at home with a Chinese servant. About 11 o'clock they returned, found everything about the house apparently as they left it, and retired. About 1 o'clock this morning 4 men entered the house and attacked them while asleep in their bed. The scoundrels used a hatchet, or other dull weapon, or a bloody murder would have been instantly accomplished. The blows were aimed with savage fury at the heads and faces of the victims, inflicting horrible and ghastly wounds which may yet prove fatal. Mr. SAUFLY, after the 1st storm of blows, retained sufficient consciousness to cry for help. The Chinaman then sprang out of bed and ran into the room, when ! the 4 assassins fled in haste, leaving Mr. SAUFLY unconscious and his wife writhing in agony. The Chinaman did not run at once to alarm the neighbors, but took such means as he could to staunch the wounds of Mr.&Mrs. SAUFLY. At 4 o'clock he left the house and called on neighbors for help. People hastened to the house and found Mr. SAUFLY and his wife on the bed in a helpless condition, the former still unconscious, but Mrs. SAUFLY was able to speak and give some particulars of the terrible affair. She described 4 white men, and said their blows were inflicted with an ax or hatchet. The tragedy created intense excitement in Oakland and vicinity, and the police and citizens are making every effort to get on the track of the perpetrators. A few days since Mr. SAUFLY was paid a considerable sum of money, and this fact may have tempted the robbers to their bloody work. ACCIDENT at SANTA CRUZ A man named McDUFLY [or McDUFFY], who works at Waddell's Mills, the other day lost one of his hands in a most shocking manner. While at work in the mill he accidentally let his hand go too near the flying saw, which caught and cut it almost entirely off, leaving but a piece of the little finger. MINING ACCIDENT On Friday, July 19th, says the Calaveras 'Chronicle,' Mr. Thomas PETERS, of the firm of Peters, Champion & Co., quartz miners at West Point, a gentleman who is well known by the most of our citizens, met with a painful accident, while engaged in repairing the mill on the claim of the company. Mr. PETERS was compelled to cross the wheel-pit; while doing so, a timber which had been used as a bridge for that purpose for years, gave way, and he was precipitated to the bottom, a distance of some 12 feet, striking his thigh across a timber in the mill-race. Mr. PETERS is as comfortable as could be expected, under the circumstances, and is rapidly improving. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Mrs. WEAVER is well known to our citizens as an accomplished reader and not only in Stockton, but in San Francisco, Alameda, and other places her readings have been received with great favor. On several occasions the San Francisco press have spoken highly in her praise, and the compliments paid to her elocutionary accomplishments have not been undeserved. ACCEPTABLE We thank H. TOURTILOTT, dealer in cigars, tobacco and fruit, Center street, next door to the stage office of S.&Z. FISHER, for a huge watermelon sent to this office yesterday. Such presents are very acceptable in warm weather. Mr. T. recently received quite a large quantity of melons produced at Jenny Lind. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 21 A son of M.C. HILLYER, of this city [San Francisco], at Santa Cruz yesterday afternoon, went out gunning, and by some unfortunate circumstance accidentally exploded his gun, the charge taking fatal effect upon himself. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING A young lady named Emma REUTER, of Mariposa, has a narrow escape from drowning on Friday of last week, says the 'Gazette,' while crossing the ferry at Split Rock, on the Merced river. The animal she was riding backed over the boat and threw her off. Her foot, however, hung in the stirrup, while her head was under water, and in this position she was rescued by Deputy Sheriff AMES, who was accompanying her and Miss BEHAM to this place [Mariposa], to attend the school teachers' examination. SHOOTING SCRAPE in TUOLUMNE The Sonora 'Herald' of Saturday last, says: "Abner TAYLOR was shot by John DOANE, at Don Pedro's Bar, on the 12th inst. The shooting was done with a shot gun, and occurred in front of Mr. TAYLOR's store. The shot entered the left arm and side, making a fearful, though not fatal wound. Dr. LAMPSON, of Montezuma, was called to attend the wounded man. The deed was done without provocation, as we are informed. DOANE being drunk and coming up to TAYLOR inquired for some one, the latter telling him he knew nothing about the person, whereupon DOANE called him a liar and immediately shot him. Mr. TAYLOR is a quiet, peaceable man, and respected by the community in which he resides. He is rapidly recovering and will soon be out again." >>TUESDAY, 23 JUL 1867<< SAN JOAQUIN COLLEGE The new college building, situated at a point known as the "Eight-Mile Corners," on the Mariposa road, will soon be completed. Much credit is due Rev. Mr. WHEELIS, Pastor of the Church in that district, for his energy and perseverance in pushing forward the enterprise. Last Sunday, a sermon on the "Practical Utility of Giving" setting forth the Bible view of the subject was delivered by Rev. C.H. CRAWFORD. At the close of the discourse a collection amounting to $43 was taken up for the advancement of the cause of missions and $345 was contributed to finish the building. These facts we obtained yesterday from a gentlemen who was present, and who also stated to us that a large congregation assembled on the 1st occasion of religious services being held in the new edifice. DANGEROUS SITUATION A few days ago, while Mayor HICKMAN and another gentleman were crossing the Tuolumne river at Tuolumne City, the platform attached to the ferry boat, and which is folded down to form a connection with the boat and the bank, sank, causing the front wheels of the buggy to sink also, while the hind wheels remained on the boat. The top of the buggy fell over the dasher and caught on a bolt near the whipple-tree, so that, when the buggy was drawn to terra firma, the driver and his friend were uncomfortably cooped up. The fact that they escaped serious injury is attributed by Mr. HICKMAN to the quiet disposition of the horses. RESIGNED A few days ago, we have been told, E. LEHE resigned his commission as Captain of the Stockton City Guard. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 22 The body of John BYORKMAN was picked up in the bay at 9 o'clock this morning near the foot of Washington street. He had been employed in the sloop 'Dorinda,' running between this city and Stockton, and had not been missing since 12 o'clock on Saturday night. He was aged about 45 years and has a family living on Clay street. BODY FOUND The Sacramento 'Record' says that the body of a man supposed to have been dead 2 weeks, was found on the ROBERTSON ranch, on Sunday evening, about 9 miles from the city, near the lower Stockton road. The body was dressed in soldier's clothing, his hat (a black soft felt) and his shoes (a pair of canvas ones) were lying beside him. >>WEDNESDAY, 24 JUL 1867<< DEATH near this city, July 23d, Josephine, daughter of C.B. and Mary C.L. CLOWS, aged 2 years. [Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend the funeral at 30 o'clock this afternoon, from the residence of J.B.L. COOPER, on the Calaveras river.] ACCIDENTS in MARIPOSA -James WILSON fell down a shaft at the Potts mine, in Hunter's Valley lately, and narrowly escaped being killed. -On the 19th, John F. DORN was instantly killed by the caving of a tunnel, on the Merced river.

He was not seen afterwards by his comrades, and no tidings of his whereabouts have since reached his friends, who are very anxious for his safety. Doubtless he was met with foul play. HOMICIDE A man named John PHILLIPS was stabbed and killed at Fiddletown, Amador county, on Saturday night last, by W.F. GIRT, formerly Sheriff of the county. The latter has been examined and committed. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 23 -About 3 o'clock this morning some of the occupants of the What Cheer House heard the report of a pistol in one of the rooms and upon opening the door and entering a man was found sitting upright in a chair, his head thrown back, blood flowing from his mouth, and a revolver lying on his bosom, muzzle up and the handle in his hand. The man was already dead. He was a German, named H. LARGIN, aged about 35 years. No cause could be assigned for the act. -This morning A. BERRY found the body of an unknown man floating in the bay at the foot of Pier No. 4, Stewart street. It had evidently been in the water a long time, and is much decomposed. The body awaits identification at Gray's, on Sacramento street. NEVADA ITEMS - From the 'Territorial Enterprise' of July 18th, we glean the following John SHIPTON, the colored man charged with the murder of the Italian, LABRIOLA, had an examination yesterday. 3 Americans engaged by Chief Edwards to put in a sewer, swore that the Italian had a piece of board in his hand and was getting over the fence after the negro when he received his death wounds. SHIPTON was held to answer in the sum of $500. We believe the required bail was furnished last evening. -The Austin 'Reveille' of July 16th says Leopold BERTSCHI died at his residence near the head of Reese river valley on Saturday, the 13th instant, from the effects of swallowing a piece of bone. >>THURSDAY, 25 JUL 1867<< MAN SHOT at WOODBRIDGE Yesterday morning Henry HAINES was shot by Noah VEST. Both parties reside at Woodbridge, where the shooting took place. It appears, from what we could learn of the affair, that some misunderstanding occurred between the parties on the previous evening, in the presence of ladies, when HAINES invited VEST to go out of the house and settle the matter. VEST refused. Early yesterday morning HAINES saw VEST and advanced upon him, and threatened to whip him. HAINES followed up VEST, who retreated until he was closely pressed, when he pulled a pistol and fired. From a letter written at Woodbridge at 11 o'clock a.m. yesterday by a gentleman and sent to a friend in this city, we glean the following: "In company with his physician, Dr. BELVILLE, I have just visited Mr. HAINES. The ball entered about 2 inches and a half above and to the right of the navel, and is supposed to have lodged in the side or back. Dr. BELVILLE probed the wound about 3 inches, but could not find the ball. The Doctor says he cannot tell under 48 hours how the case will terminate. Should inflammation set in it would prove fatal; but at this time the Doctor says he cannot tell how it will terminate, nor can he form an intelligent and reliable opinion under 48 hours." After the shooting, it appears that HAINES sent for VEST and acknowledged himself in the wrong. VEST delivered himself to Constable Klock, who brought him to this city, where he is now held in custody to await an examination. -------------------------------------------------------- BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 24 -On Sunday last, John Q.
