DEATH of MRS. WEIR -- Evening Herald, 19th -- The friends of this
estimable lady, late consort of Hon. B.G. WEIR, will learn regret that she
has departed this life, and was buried this forenoon at Modesto. She was
one of the early mothers of Stockton, among whom she was held in high
esteem. A telegraph dispatch, dated yesterday at Modesto, announcing the
melancholy news of her death and time of burial, was not received until
today, on account of the storm, thus preventing friends from attending to
pay the last rites to the departed.
REMAINS FOUND -- Sacramento Union -- The remains of the late Captain N.
OBRYAN, who was supposed to have perished in the boarding house kept by
R.W. JACKSON, which was destroyed by fire Wednesday morning, were this
morning found in the ruins, but shockingly burned, hands, feet and face
being gone. From the position of the remains it is thought that the
deceased succeeded in getting about 20 feet from his room, but then became
suffocated. Coroner COUNTS will hold an inquest this afternoon. We
understand that OBRYAN had a married daughter residing in San Francisco a
few years ago, but our informant is unable to say whether she is there at
present.
ADMITTED to CITIZENSHIP -- In the District Court yesterday, Richard R.
REIBENSTEIN, a native of Prussia, was admitted to citizenship on the
testimony of Charles GRUNSKY and Aug. MUNTER.
BUILDINGS DAMAGED -- A cottage being built by MR. ROBINSON on block 34 in
the western part of the city, was blown down last Monday night. The entire
structure was completely demolished. The same night a frame dwelling,
situated on the Peninsula and owned by Dr. SHURTLEFF, was badly damaged.
About 11 oclock the inmates were aroused from their slumbers by a
tremendous crash. They soon ascertained that the piazza had traveled off
and that the whole front or gable end of the building had landed in the
street. Fortunately no person was injured. The ventilator on the roof of
the Yosemite Stable was picked up by the wind and driven through a part of
the fire-wall with the force of a cannon ball. The roof of the Weber House
was badly shattered, and a considerable portion of the tinning on the roof
of the brick building lately owned by W.K. REED, was peeled off and carried
some distance.
IRON MINE -- Folsom Telegraph -- J.M. ANDERSON ahs an iron mine near the
crossing of Weber Creek, in El Dorado county, which is becoming very
valuable. He has shipped over 160 tons to Baltimore via San Francisco and
around Cape Horn. The ore produces at the rate of 60 & 70 per cent. He has
orders for all he can get out, and is now hauling 2 tons per day to the
Sacramento and Placerville Railroad at Shingle Springs. The ore is known as
crome iron and a valuable paint is made from it.

BURGLARY -- Last Tuesday night the upper story of Hart & Thrifts building,
corner of Weber avenue and Sutter streets, was burglariously entered and
money, a silver watch and gold chain stolen. The room occupied by Mr.
CLARK, of the firm of Henderson & Clark, was entered, his pantaloons
removed to another part of the house, and about $25 in coin abstracted from
the pocket. Frank MOSS, who occupied a room adjoining Mr. CLARKs, also
lost some money, a silver watch, and a gold chain valued at $150 stolen.
Mr. MOSS pantaloons were also removed from his room. The doors of both
