MURDER IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY. – Two men named DONOHUE and McNAMARA had a difficulty at Sebastopol, in Sacramento county, resulting finally in the death of the former. McNAMARA accosted DONOHUE, saying that he could whip him. DONAHUE replied that he had no license for saying so; when they stripped and fought, DONAHUE whipping him. They then shook hands and parted, apparently good friends. In a short time afterwards, McNAMARA accompanied by some half a dozen friends, returned, jumped upon DONOHUE and shot him, the ball passing through his imperial and upward into the brain, causing death in a few minutes. McNAMARA and his companions were arrested immediately and await examination. – Sacramento News. BOOKS – We call attention to the card of A. ROMAN & Co. in another column. A classified catalogue of the books for sale at this house, with prices annexed, may be seen at our office. Some idea may be formed of their extensive assortment from an examination of this catalogue, which is a closely printed work of two hundred and sixty pages. Having already traded considerably with ROMAN, we can assure our readers, that any book he may send them will be as perfect as if they had selected it personally, or if not, he will make it so. The S.F. Herald has the following in relation to the murder of Geo. GORDON a mulatto, at San Francisco, on the 29th inst. It was charged by the wife and sister-in-law of GORDON, who keeps an extensive millinery establishment on the corner of Minna and Second streets, that SCHELL came to their place on Monday afternoon, and while they were in the working room back of the salesroom, leaned over the counter and took $11 from the drawer. They (as they assert) pursued him, and called for a policeman, but SCHELL made his escape at the time. The same evening GORDON and his wife met SCHELL in the street and charged him with the theft, which he denied. As this part of the subject has not been investigated SCHELL’s guilt of the larceny may be doubled. He informed some friends of the accusation which had been made against him, and it is probable that they advised him to take the course which he afterwards did. Yesterday morning, about 11 o’clock, he went to GORDON’s barber shop, (it appears that he had previously lurked around his house for an hour or two.) and said to him; “George that affa! ir last night, was not correct.” Some further words passed between them, when SCHELL struck GORDON Over the head with his cane, breaking the cane. They then clinched, when Ralph DORR, who with E.A. WILLETT had accompanied SCHNELL to the shop, attempted to separate them. He was unsuccessful, but the employees of the shop succeeded. As soon as they were separated SCHELL drew a Derringer pistol, which he had borrowed from Levi SOLOMON, and fired, the ball passing through GORDON’s breast. GORDON ran to the street, where he fell, and SCHELL followed and beat him over the head with the pistol. He was soon after arrested. FOR LOS ANGELES. – Lady Franklin and her niece Collector RANKIN and wife, Commodore WATKINS and wife, and William R. GARRISON, Esq., left San Francisco for Los Angeles on the steamer Golden Gate, which sailed on the 1st of this month where they will pass a brief sojourn among the hospitable inhabitants of the Eden of our State.
