STONE. – We call attention to the card of our neighbor, S.L. STONE, in another column. His stock is a complete on in his line of trade, and his fruits are brought fresh, by everyday’s stage. FLAGS. – We notice that our advertising patron, D. NORCROSS, in addition to his usually large stock of goods, is abundantly supplied with elegant National flags – an article much in demand at this time. DENTISTRY. – Our readers should not forget the card of Dr. IRWIN, when they visit the city with an ugly tooth – or with a deficiency of teeth. The stages pass his door every day. BURNS JOHN That back-handed cognomen belongs to our candidate for County Treasurer. Mr. JOHN is but little known, except in his own immediate neighborhood, but wherever he is known, he is respected by all parties as a high-minded, honorable man. He is one of the best qualified men, for any official position, in the county, and if elected, it will be found that for this office at least the People’s Committee have made a most excellent selection. The public funds will be in safe hands, and the books of the Treasury Department will be found at all times as neat and accurate as a systematic banker’s. He never has been before the people, and for this reason will probably not come in for his full proportion of abuse, but he is none the worse for that. We look upon him as one of the strongest men on the ticket, and expect to see him elected. He will reside at the county seat, and be always present to do the duties of his office. STATE NEWS A man named KENNEDY went into the Golden Gate tunnel on Saturday last, says the Virginia City Enterprise, and fell into a shaft sixty feel deep at the end of the tunnel, breaking his back in the fall. He remained in the shaft for several hours, and must have suffered the most intense pain, as he stated, when taken out, that he drew his knife several times, with the intention of cutting his throat, but each time refrained, as he thought he heard assistance coming. He expired on Sunday after much suffering. The Stockton Republican of Sunday last says: During the six days ending yesterday, no less than eighteen persons have been received at the Insane Asylum. By the politeness of the Secretary, Mr. ROBINSON, we have been furnished with a list of the counties from which the patients were committed; San Francisco 6, Sacramento 2, Santa Clara 2, Tuolumne 2; San Bernardino 1, Butte 1, Sonoma 1, San Luis Obispo 1, Sierra 1, Sutter 1. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
