BAER, who was charged with seducing and producing the abortion of a young girl living in his family in Sacramento, and who afterwards suddenly disappeared, was found a mile below Washington last week. He is thought to have committed suicide. IN TOWN -- Among the sojourners during the past few days in our city is L.A. HOLMES, Esq., of the Mariposa ‘Gazette,’ a journal known throughout the State as the medium of the wit and humor that flows from the genial pen of its editor. We note it as an item properly coming under the head of “personal,” that HOLMES yesterday morning attended the Church of Rev. Mr. ANDERSON; and as it becomes our duty to chronicle all important movements of distinguished literati, we would “also state” that the interior press will this evening be ably represented at the Masquerade Ball of the “Blue” in the person of the jovial and good looking editor of the ‘Gazette.’ ------------------------------------------------ ATTEMPT to RAPE a CHILD -- S.F. ‘Call’ -- Dr. J.T. HYDE yesterday procured the arrest of a fruit pedler named MEYER, on the above charge. The facts of the disgusting affair, as we learn them, are these: About 2 months since, MEYER made a fruitless and diabolical attempt upon the person of the eldest girl of Mr. MORGENSTEIN, at the corner of Pacific and Front streets. The girl informed her father of the fact, and he told Dr. HYDE about it. Yesterday Mr. MORGENSTEIN entered the Doctor’s office, and said that MEYER was prowling around the yard. The doctor posted himself at the back window, and there saw the fellow enticing MORGENSTEIN’s youngest girl (aged about 7 years) into the out-house. The child entered. Dr. HYDE thereupon armed himself with a heavy cane, and proceeding to the out-house, burst the door in, and welted MEYER until the cane was broken to pieces. He was then handed over to an officer, and is now in the city prison. >>Tuesday, 2 Apr 1861>Wednesday, 3 Apr 1861A Lady to wait upon Ladies >Accommodations provided for parties from the country, at reasonable rates >Patients from the country waited upon >All consultations free of charge ------------------------------------------------ CORONER’S INQUEST -- Inquest held upon the body of F. August LIMPRICHT, at the office of M.H. BOND, in the city of Stock [as written], April 2, 1861. Jury sworn at 8 ½ o’clock a.m. SAMUEL MILLER, sworn: I know deceased; have known him for nearly 6 years; his name was August LIMPRICH; he was living with me for about 3 years past; he was a native of Germany; I found him yesterday evening in a Slough between the Stanislaus and San Joaquin rivers; from what I have heard, I think he came to his death from drowning; no one was with him at the time of his death; from the tracks, I think he voluntarily rode into the Slough and was drowned; the place where he was drowned was in a direct line from where he left his company to go to the house; he could have avoided the hole by going a few yards above and he was well acquainted with the fact; he was wet and cold, having been out all day, and undoubtedly mistaken in the point where he entered the Slough. I do not know of any relatives in this State; but he has a sister in Wisconsin. His property is partly in this county and partly in Stanislaus; I know of about $3000 in notes for loaned money; the balance of his pr! operty is in cattle and horses now running near my ranch; the majority of his property, I think is in Stanislaus county; he has no ranch; I think he has about 70 head of cattle, if they can all be found, and about 5 head of horses. His papers are in his chest. WILLIAM BACH, sworn: I know deceased; his name was August LIMPRICHT; I have known him for 7 years. He was a native of Enfurt in Saxony, where he has relatives living; I do not know their names. He has a sister living in Wisconsin; do not know her name or the town where she resides. I was present when deceased was found yesterday evening, about an hour before sundown, in a Slough between the Stanislaus and San Joaquin rivers; the appearances seemed all to indicate that he was drowned; I think he rode voluntarily into the Slough, being mistaken in the point; he must have been drowned on Saturday afternoon last, March 30th, 1861, that being the time that he started for home from the island, where he had been engaged in getting off the stock; after they were through, deceased started for home on horseback, leaving the company to come with the wagon; that was the last seen of him until he was found dead. He was 40 years of age -- so he has told me; he has no family; he has some p! roperty in this county and some in Stanislaus; I think he must have about $3000 in notes, and about 70 head of cattle, and 4 or 5 head of horses. These notes are in his chest, in the possession of William and Samuel MILLER, I suppose; and his cattle and horses are running with MILLER’s stock in the neighborhood of MILLER’s ranch, in Stanislaus county. His brand is AL, and generally upon the left hip; some are branded with 23 on left shoulder, and is a Bent brand. He has told me he had a Will made, but did not tell me where it was; he also told me he had property in Germany, and that he had a Will there. I think he has been in this county since 1852, and I think he came from the State of Wisconsin here. VERDICT: We, the jurors, summoned by J.L. DOWNING, Coroner of San Joaquin county, on the 2d day of April, A.D. 1861, to inquire into the cause of the death of August LIMPRICHT, having been duly sworn according to law and having made such inquisition, after inspecting the body and hearing the testimony adduced upon, our oath, do say, that we find the deceased was named August LIMPRICHT, was a native of Enfurt, Germany, aged about 40 years; and that he came to his death on the 30th day of March, A.D., 1861, in Stanislaus county, by drowning, and that the same was accidental. All of which we duly certify by this inquisition, by us signed, this 2d day of April, A.D. 1861 H.W. HART, Foreman H. TINKHAM F.W. SHERWOOD T.A. HARDAWAY P. MADDEN W. TINKHAM S. MANNING A.P.
