T.J. PARKINS was sentenced to County jail for 60 days, for petit
larceny. He had in his possession wearing apparel belonging to Emil
CLASEN, which he had evidently puloined from the Cosmopolitan Hotel.
(Petaluma Argus)

Martin JOYCE, of this city, who had completed his term of imprisonment
at San Quentin was released the other day, but immediately taken in
charge by a Napa County officer, and taken to Napa to answer to another
charge of grand larceny. We were in hopes that this misguided young man
would have a chance to show evidence of a reformed life. (Petaluma
Argus)

By the death of Thomas STUDDERT, of Steuben Co., N.Y., the families of
Michael and Burt STUDDERT, of this city, it is said, will come in for a
considerable estate. (Petaluma Argus)

A man named James G. BUTLER was found dead in his bed at the residence
of James CAROTHERS on Sunday morning. It appears that BUTLER was an
opium fiend, and had been on a terrible spree for a long time. He went
to his room on Saturday night in an intoxicated condition and threw
himself on the bed, where he was found in the morning, a corpse. Dr.
IVANCOVICH examined the body and gave it as his opinion that death
resulted from heart disease, or apoplexy, superinduced probably by
over-indulgence in whiskey and narcotics. BUTLER was a native of San
Francisco, about 37y, and had relatives living in this neighborhood.

Died at Fulton, Sept. 9th, Floyd L., son of G.M. and Ida BOSWORTH, a
native of Litton Springs, aged 18m.

Albert SOULES, an old resident of this vicinity, died suddenly at the
Rock Pile Ranch north of Healdsburg, on Sunday evening, of alcoholism.
He had many friends and leaves an estate of considerable value. He was a
native of Canada and aged 48y. The deceased has no relatives in this
State.

The old residents of Healdsburg, will remember Mr. BLOCH, who several
years ago was the owner of the Sotoyome House. While his son, another
young man and two ladies were out yatching in the Ohio River a few days
ago, the vessel capsized and the pleasure seekers were thrown into the
water. In endeavoring to save the lives of the young ladies, BLOCH sank
with them and all three were drowned.

The news of the sudden death of Mrs. P.J. TREANOR has fallen like a pall
upon this community. It came unheralded - like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky -; Apparently Mrs. TREANOR was in the pink of health; but alas
for human judgment !
This estimable lady had but recently come among us - to make Healdsburg
her permanent home - yet her sunny temperment, her charming manners and
her amiable and kindly qualities broke down, as it were, all social
barriers and at once drew aroud her a legion of friends.

Healdsburg, Aug. 28th, William Harrison HALL, native of Tehama co., aged
19m 11d. Farewell, our darling boy has gone and left us. Our Willie was
our joy and pride. No more shall we see him on earth - he has joined the
angels in heaven - where he will know no sorrow and no pain. His body
lays in the silent grave but we know his spirit dwells in heaven, for
the Lord said; "Let the little ones come unto me for such is the kingdom
of Heaven."

In a few days, Miss Lizzie SNOW, daughter of J. SNOW, will open an art
studio in the residence of Wm. REESE on East St., where she will receive
pupils for instruction. The lady is a graduate of the Cooper Art School
in N.Y. City and a diploma from that institution is a credential that is
the highest that can be obtained in America.

A quiet wedding of a Cloverdale couple took place in the Union Hotel
parlors, this city, on Saturday evening. E.A. LOVELAND and Mary HANCOCK
tying the knot.

Morris EMMERICH and Bertha HEINZE, both of Healdsburg, will be married
in Santa Rosa today. The affair will be a very simple one and only a few
friends will be present.

Married at Oakland, Sept. 7th, F.W. LENTZ, formerly of Healdsburg, and
Minnie GILLIS, of Oakland.

Capt. A. HENRY, a prominent citizen of Petaluma died at Sanel, Mendocino
co., last Thursday. He was a Wells Fargo & Co. express agent.

John BLAZER, a pioneer of Cal., departed this life on Monday night,
after a long illness. He was aged 69y and leaves four sons, namely;
George, Charles, John and Eben. In '50 he crossed the plains to the
Golden State and settled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, where he found
employment in the mines. There he remained two years, when he returned
to his native Mo. Soon after with his family he came to Cal. again and
took up his residence in Santa Clara co., where he pursued farming for
three years. He then removed to Healdsburg and here resided up to '58,
when he migrated to Oregon with his family. Five years later he returned
to Healdsburg and made this place his home up to the time of his death.
Mr. BLAZER had many friends and everybody that knew him can only speak
well of him. He was kind, loving and ready to help the needy.

Monday brought forth a most terrible mishap in this city, and Mrs. Jane
ROWLAND, an aged resident of San Francisco, who was attending
camp-meeting here, was the unfortunate one whom the casualty befell and
which resulted in instant death. In company with Mr. TROY and the lady's
grandson, she was strolling on the railroad track from the South st.
crossing to the west St. crossing. When but a few feet from the trestle
crossing the little creek on the west side of town, the whistle of the
2:50pm train was heard. They thought they would have ample time to reach
the east end of the trestle before the train would reach them and they
continued on. When about midway the locomotive was in sight and only
about 150 feet distant. Mr. TROY and the boy leaped to the ground and
Miss RIPPEY, who was standing near by noticed the peril of the old lady
and called to her to jump too, but being somewhat dazed by her awful
situation, she did not know what to do. She kept on walking however, and
almost every other step would look back at the train that was thundering
along at a speed of almost 10 miles per hour. For the last time she
turned around and the deadwood of the engine pilot struck her a terrific
blow on her left shoulder, throwing her headlong a distance of 15 feet
against the abutment of the trestle. By the fall her neck was broken as
was her right leg and the right side of her body was horribly bruised
from shoulder to knee. Death came almost instantly, for she lived but 3
or 4 minutes. On Tuesday, an inquest on the remains was held in the city
hall, Coroner BLANEY, presiding. The engineer and fireman of that train
testified and explained that being on a curve they did not see her until
the train was only a few rods from her. The danger signal was given but
the engine could not be stopped in time to save her life, though the air
brakes were at once applied and the engine reversed, almost derailing
the locomotive. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and
exonerated the RR Company from any and all blame. The remains were
interred in San Francisco and the obsequies were very mournful. Mrs.
ROWLAND leaves a large estate. The death of Mrs. ROWLAND of San
Francisco, by being struck by the engine has cast something of a gloom
over the camp.

Announcement is made of the engagement of Nathan LAUTER, formerly of
Healdsburg, to Miss LEVY of San Jose. They are both very popular in
society. In honor of the engagement a delightful reception occurred at
the home of the young gentleman's parents on Sheridan St. last Thursday
evening, nine to midnight the hours were spent in card playing and other
amusements. The guests were then escorted to the elegant dining room,
where a luxurious repast was spread. Henry GOLDSTEIN in a few but well
selected words offered a toast. Edward LEVY followed.

Last Thursday, Morris EMMERICH, proprietor of the Log Cabin Bakery and
Bertha HEINZE, recently of Pa., were married.
******
T.H. EASTMAN, who, just a few days ago, was liberated after serving a
sentence in the county jail for selling liquor to the Indians in this
city, has been rearrested and sentenced to imprisonment on another
charge.
