Tuesday morning, September 21, 1852 BENICIA FEMALE SEMINARY - A preventive influence at home to parents  desirous of emigrating with their families to California, has been the  want of proper female academies of learning. This objection no longer  applies. A female seminary is now in successful operation as above  designated, under the management of a Board of Visitors and Board of  Trustees, composed of the first gentlemen of the State, and  conducted  by teachers whose abilities have been well tested, and who are known  to be the proper guardians of female morals and manners. This  institution should be encouraged. Its branches of learning are  numerous, and its course thorough. Address Miss Susan A. LORD,  Principal, Benicia. THE EDITOR of the California Express reads a lecture full of bitter  denunciation, to a brutal class of citizens of Marysville, who have  lately been in the habit of tying tin kettles and bunches of crackers  to the dogsí tails, and starting them off through the public streets.  >From this cause, it says, at least two fires have originated. The  scoundrels deserve to be lashed to the horns of a wild bull that they  might experience a portion of that misery which they inflict upon one  of the most faithful of dumb creatures. EDITORIAL VISITORS - Messrs. LULL, of the San Francisco Whig, and  SMITH, of the Marysville Herald, gave a passing visit to our office  yesterday morning, both of whom we were glad to find in the enjoyment  of vigorous health. The former of these gentlemen is on his return  from a visit to the mining regions, and brings cheering news of the  political prospect in almost every place that he has been. The Whig  miners are now wider awake than many who has double the chances for  procuring political intelligence. We are glad of this. The wind set in  from the right quarter. The Sonora Herald of the 18th inst., contains the following items:    SEVERE ACCIDENT - On Tuesday morning last, William BEDDOES, a young  man working in the blacksmith shop of BALL and WARDEN, was engaged in  grinding a large shingle knife, when, by some mishap, it caught on the  stone; and the edge of the knife striking against his left wrist,  completely severed the (rest of line missing). The hemorrhage was so  profuse as to place the young manís life in extreme danger. Drs.  BRUNER and GUNN, however, were soon in attendance, and succeeded in  stopping the blood. The patient is now in a fair way to do well. STILL WORSE - On Wednesday morning a similar accident happened to a  man of the name of W. MARTIN, while engaged in the erection of Mayor  DODGEís adobe building, the staging upon which he was standing  happened to give way, when he caught hold of the adjoining building to  save himself, striking his bare arm violently against a tin water- gutter, which cut through the whole lower part of the arm, about half- way between the wrist and elbow. Dr. BONNER and GUNN dressed the wound  successfully. It is a very severe injury, however, and it will be some  days before the sufferer can be pronounced out of danger.     Married    In this city, September 12th, by Rev. J.A. BENTON, Mr. Jacob MILLER  to Miss Elizabeth KEARTH, all of Sacramento county.    At Daylorís Rancho, on the 16th September, by Rev. J.A. BENTON, Mr.  J.R.T. MAHONE to Mrs. K.R.
