SHOT and PAINFULLY WOUNDED -- Through a dispatch from Visalia on the 18th instant, we learn that on Friday night last Henry TRIPP, son of U.O. TRIPP, saddler, in this city, was shot in the town of Visalia by John BUCKINGHAM, a sheep herder. It appears BUCKINGHAM had a difficulty in a saloon a short time previously with another man, and meeting TRIPP in the street, mistook him for the person and commenced firing at him with a revolver. One ball took effect in his thigh, ranging upward, and has not been extracted. BUCKINGHAM, seeing the effect of his shot, took to his heels and has not yet been arrested, though closely followed by officers. H.L. FARRINGTON, G.C. HYATT, H.S. FARRINGTON -- New Foundry & Machine Shop. Stockton Iron Works, FARRINGTON, HYATT & Co., proprietors, California Street, between Main and Weber Avenue, Stockton Manufacture steam engines, quartz, saw and grist mill works, mining machinery, agricultural work, house fronts and iron and brass casting of every description. A share of the patronage of the public is solicited. Particular attention given to jobbing and repairing. NO MORE EASTERN EXCURSIONS -- R. DAVIS, of this city, proposing to get up an excursion from Stockton to the East by railroad some time during the ensuing Summer, wrote to Mr. GOODMAN, General Passenger Agent of the Central Pacific, in relation to the matter, and Mr. GOODMAN states in reply that the Company are not getting up any excursions to the East for the present year, their experience last year being such as to convince them that the legitimate business of the road has been very much injured by such excursions. He, therefore, declines to give any rates for 1871. GOING EAST -- Major Jack STRATMAN, of San Francisco, arrived in this city on Friday evening last, remained over night and took his departure on Saturday for Sacramento and proposes to start from that city today on a trip to the East. The legal ordeal through which he passed at the Bay does not seem to have in the least chilled his political order, or in the slightest degree, impaired his health. His future aim, we understand, is to practice law. PROPOSED EXCURSION to the BAY -- A. ROLLAND is, we understand, making arrangements for an excursion to San Francisco by railroad on Wednesday next. It is proposed to start from this city at 7 oclock in the morning, and returning, leave San Francisco at 6 oclock in the evening.

BADARACCA, a daughter. DIED -- at DANEs Ranch, Aqueduct City, Amador county, March 5th, Elizabeth, consort of John DANE, aged 63 years, a native of Boston, Massachusetts. LADIES INJURED -- BUGGY SMASHED -- Yesterday forenoon, while 2 ladies -- Mrs. L. HEWLETT and Mrs. H.H. HEWLETT -- were taking a drive throughout the city, the horse, a high spirited animal, took fright on Washington street, ran away and became utterly unmanageable. The last named lady jumped out of the vehicle and sustained severe bruises, and shortly afterwards the animal made a sudden turn at the corner of Washington and El Dorado street, capsizing the buggy and throwing Mrs. L. HEWLETT to the ground with great violence, and bruising her face considerably. The buggy was smashed into kindling wood. Several men succeeded in capturing the horse in front of El Dorado Stables.

He entered the closet and made his exit through a window, hung by his hands for a short time and then dropped at the side of the track while the train was under full headway, and made his escape.

STOLEN PIPE RECOVERED -- Dr. RUGGLES, County Physician, had stolen from him, some 2 months ago, a meerschaum pipe, valuable from the fact that it was presented to him by an organization of which he is a member. While the doctor was walking down Main street yesterday he casually caught sight of a pipe which a man was smoking, turned about, accosted the possessor of the meerschaum, took it, discovered at once that it was the long lost and highly prized article, held on to it, took the man prisoner and led him to jail. Shortly afterwards a warrant was issued by Justice BROWN, acting Police Judge, to hold the prisoner on a charge of petty larceny. FUN at PETERS -- A skating rink will be opened at Peters tomorrow by HALL & BLAIR, proprietors of the Olympic skating rink in this city. The skating fun will be kept up until 4 oclock in the afternoon, at which time preparations will commence for a free ball in the evening.

The coffin being very heavy the lid was broken open in lifting it from the grave, when it was discovered to be in remarkable state of petrifaction. The head, face, neck, breast, ears and hands all remains intact. One eye was as natural as when first close, with the eyelashes undecayed.

During the last named year his hostility to the Vigilance Committee, of San Francisco, was manifested vigorously and persistently through the columns of the Journal. He was afterwards connected with the Globe and Herald, the Examiner and other San Francisco papers. He was also Secretary of the State Senate during several sessions, Clerk of the Outside Land Committee of San Francisco, and more recently Secretary of the Labor Exchange. On account of ill health he visited his home in England, some 4 months ago, expecting as he stated to his friends, to die before many months. [see previous issue for more info] REMOVING HIS STOCK -- M.

Church, South, will arrive in this city today and preach at half-past 7 oclock in the evening at the church, on the corner of Weber avenue and California street. The reverend gentleman will spend a few days in this city. THE TRIAL of GUNN for MURDER -- Dennis GUNN has been tried in San Francisco for the murder of Edward J. MURPHY. On the 31st of last December, GUNN shot and killed MURPHY on Pine street for the alleged seduction of his sister. During the trial on Thursday, Miss GUNN, aged 19, testified that an outrage had been perpetrated upon her at the millinery store, at which she worked, on Sutter street, several months before the shooting took place. She called for help, but none came. She did not give information of MURPHYs conduct, because he threatened to kill her if she did, and promised to marry her if she did not. A month afterward, the outrage was repeated at MURPHYs shop, where witness went to make arrangements for the marriage. After witness was told that MURPHY was already married and living with his wife, these facts were not repeated. Witness did not inform on MURPHY at any time for fear he would kill her. Dennis GUNN, her brother, received a letter from some source informing him of what had been going on. He became very much excited, showed the letter to his sister and asked her if it was true. On being told that it was, he procured a pistol and shot MURPHY. The defense also proved that MURPHY was a very corrupt man, that he had 3 wives living and that he had boasted that he had seduced Miss GUNN under a promise of marriage. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, last evening, when the widest demonstration of delight were indulged in by the crowd in the Court room. --------------------------------------------- HOTEL ARRIVALS -- Grand Hotel *Thursday, March 23d: Leon SEBRUN Joseph AMADE, San Francisco Henry RETTER W.
