High words followed, and Young threw a billiard ball at the other, whereupon the latter picked up a bottle and struck Young upon the head, cutting him severely. One of his arms was also broken. LAZY - When the fire alarm sounded yesterday, we noticed the slim condition of the “drag ropes” of the various engines. Are our young men becoming so lazy that they will not put into practice that which they preach? Does a little spell of warm weather unnerve them so that they skulk along the sidewalks in the shade, while men old enough to be their fathers are on the lines assisting to reach and overcome the fire? HEARING CONTINUED - The two Chinamen, Ah LEET and Ah HIM, charged with the murder of Ah CHOW, were brought before Judge RAMAGE this morning on habeas corpus. District Attorney ALEXANDER and N. Greene CURTIS appeared for the people, and COFFROTH and SPAULDING for the defense. The hearing of the case was finally continued till Friday next. WIFE BEATER - J.H. WILLIAMS, of Folsom, was convicted before a Justice of the Peace in that place on a charge of wife beating, and sentenced to twelve days imprisonment. He was brought to town yesterday by Constable HILL. IMPROVING - GRELLE, the young man who was stabbed in the Central Restaurant yesterday morning, was resting quire easy this morning, and hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. REFUTATION - Owing to the introduction of Champagne Mead into this Market, parties have seen the necessity of putting before the community a vile counterfeit, endeavoring thereby to cast a slur on the same, which has been styled “Sparkling Mead.” The component parts of Champagne Mead are patented, and the name trade-marked. We hereby give notice that any infringements will be prosecuted. We claim the palm as a Temperance Drink, and we propose furnishing it to the Citizens of Sacramento, through our Agent, Mr. T. DAVIDSON, No. 134 K st., who will promptly attend all calls. Kenyon, Gass & Co. MARRIAGES In Mendocino township, Sonoma county, William FRY to Mary Jane HAM.
