On searching the premises, an immense amount of dry goods and clothing, consisting of shawls, dress patterns, etc., was found. The officers brought a quantity of the plunder to the station house, where it awaits recognition by the owners. This woman, who answers to the name of Mary MORGAN, was arrested some weeks since and convicted on a charge of larceny, in stealing boys' clothing from Jack NATHAN's store, on J street, and from appearances she has been successfully engaged in shoplifting for some time past. She is an Irish woman, medium size, light complexion, dark eyes and rather spare features, has a cracked voice, sometimes speaking in a whisper and again squeaking it out, and generally carries a baby in her arms. The articles she stole from Agate's store was found in the house by the officers. Died In The East - James CAROLAN, of the firm of J. & P. CAROLAN, merchants of this city, received yesterday, by telegraph, information that his brother and partner, Peter CAROLAN, had died in New York city on Christmas day. The deceased came to California and settled in Sacramento in 1850. Since March 1, 1851, he has been connected in business with his brother, and, except when temporarily in the East, has resided in this city. On account of ill health and the requirements of business combined, he sailed for New York on the 3d of October, 1862. His lungs were at that time affected, but it was hoped that a change of climate would restore him to health. The immediate cause of death was an attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. It was the desire of the deceased that his remains might be brought to Sacramento for interment, and the dispatch received yesterday states that they would leave New York for the Pacific coast on the steamer of January 3d, accompanied by his widow and the b! usiness agent of the firm. Accident At Freeport - An unfortunate accident occurred at four o'clock yesterday afternoon at Freeport. George BUCKNER, a conductor of one of the freight trains, as the engine was switching from one track to another, attempted to step on to the cow catcher and missed his foothold. Although the engine was moving slowly, the left foot was caught and one wheel ran over the leg between the knee and ankle. Both bones of the leg were of course badly crushed and the limb was otherwise mutilated. The injured man was brought to the city by a special train and taken to the What Cheer House. Dr. SIMMONS was called in, and Drs. FREY and PHELAN were called upon for consultation. It was found necessary to amputate the limb, and the operation was performed at a late hour last evening. BUCKNER has been for several years a resident of this city, and has until recently been employed by CARROLL & MOWE. Leg Broken - At about noon yesterday a boy named JUDGE, about nine years old, residing with his father in American township, was thrown from a horse and had his left leg broken. He was riding on the plains in search of cattle, when his horse fell and rolled on the leg. The accident occurred too far from any house to be seen by any one, and the boy remained on the grounds in a helpless condition about an hour; he was then accidentally found by some of the neighbors who happened to be traveling in that direction. Dr. NIXON was sent for and visited the patient. He found both bones of the leg crushed between the knee and ankle, but believes amputation will not be necessary.
