Along the willows tße water is not more than four or i live feet deep, and little trouble will be ex- ; perienced there.

Blown Ashore.— steamer Governor Dana, which usually runs between Knight's | Landing and Colusa as a passenger boat, con- j necting with the cars at the former place, but j which, since the damage to the railroad track ; at Knight's Landing by the floods, has been running direct to this city, arrived here about 10 A. M. yesterday in a dilapidated condition. j About 9:30 a. jr. Tuesday, during the prevalence of the heavy southeast (rale, .-he was en route for Sacramento from Colusa, hugging the port bank of the river, keeping sheltered as much as possible, when at Sterner Bend, twelve miles below Eddy's Landing, the wind, with a burst of unusual violence, whisked her across the river into the midst of a number of trees. Captain Page, who was at the wheel with Mr. Jewell, the pilot, knew what was going to happen, and sprang from the pilothouse. Jewell, who did not have quite as much time, threw himself down the steps, and a second later the pilot-house was knocked into kindling wood, the wheel carried away and broken, , and the smokestack came j tumbling down over them. They probably would have been crushed by the latter but : for the fact that the iron rods staying the ; tow-post shielded them. The upper works of the boat on her starboard side were much ; damaged, and the outrigger on that side was broken. It was late in the afternoon before | the steamer could be freed from the trees and her wheel temporarily lashed in place. She proceeded to Knight's Lauding and remained there over, night, then came on to the city. She will have to lose a trip, as she will not be able to resume business before next Saturday. Died Suddenly. — James Gilroy, better known as "Jimmy the Wrestler," an old res- j ident of Sacramento, and quite a character, j died rather suddenly yesterday afternoon at the station-house. He took a room at the California Hotel Tuesday evening and occupied it until late yesterday, when he got up i and went down to the sitting room, where he began to have cramps, and gave other indicains of serious illness. Mr. Schuler, propri- ; etor of the house, informed Chief Stevens' h that there was a man at his place who was ; very sick and appeared to be friendless,; though he evidently was an old resident, and • suggested that he ought to be sent to the Hospital. A permit for his admission to that institution was secured, and offi- I cers Green and Harvey procured a hack to take him out. A physician was ', asked to examine him, however, and he announced that the sick man could not live i more than half an hour, and he had better remain in town. He was accordingly conveyed to the station-house and made as comfortable as possible, but died in about 20 minutes. The Coroner was notified and will hold an inquest this morning. The deceased had been drinking hard for about a week, and told Mr. Schuler that he had not eaten anything for several days. Concert. — The concert given by the ladies j of Kingsley Chapel last evening was well attended despite the threatening weather. The programme was ell selected, consisting; of ■ piano solo by Miss Gertie Gerrish ; duet, ■■ Gently Sighs the Breeze," Mrs. F. N. Pauly and Mrs. Addie Carter ; recitation, " Shamus I O'Brien," J. C.

Crowe; solo, "Nancy [ Lee," Mrs. Addie Carter; solo, "White Squall," J.'.R. Wheat; piano solo, Miss Liz- j zie Griffin ; solo, Love My Dear," C. L. j Weeks; solo, ' ; Nightingale's Trill," Miss!

Fitch : solo, " My Poor Heart is Sad with its Dreaming," Mi a Lulu Morrill ; bass solo, "The Two Grenadiers," Mr. Thompson ; duet, "Larboard Watch," Messrs. Weeks and Win at, and " Sweet By and By," by the entire company. The whole programme was p well rendered, several of the singers responding to encores. Altogether a very enjoyable evening was spent. Ladies' Relief Society. — Upon notice ■ heretofore given, a large number of the needy and destitute assembled at Eh ■ Library parlors yesterday afternoon to receive clothing, etc. The committee of ladies appointed to attend worked industriously during the entire afternoon, and succeeded in distributing over j L6O garments for women and children, and ]20 yards of material, besides a large amount I of clothing that had been donated by 'the public, of which no account was kept. In consequence of the Society's store of ready made and prepared garments having become exhausted, a few were turned away unattended to ; therefore a general in- : vitation is extended to all ladies to attend and assist in the preparation of clothing next Monday at 1 v. »i., at the Library parlors, and it is hoped there will be a prompt and full attendance if the charitably disposed. Disappointed. The school teachers and ! others in whose favor warrants were allowed by the Board of Education at it. meeting Monday night, wore disappointed in not re- ; ceiving their money yesterday. The City Auditor is ready to issue the warrants, but cannot , do so because of there not being any money in the school fund. Meanwhile, there are 5,657 60 in the State Treasury, waiving to be drawn and apportioned among the school districts of this city and county. As ■ soon as the City Auditor is notified by the City Treasurer that the city's portion of this i has been received, he will issue the warrants, and this will doubtless be done to-day or tomorrow.

M. for San Francisco, leaves now at : i 4:25 : freight No. 9, which used to arrive here ; : at 6:20 a. .m., will now get in at 6 o'clock, and I No. 5, which has been getting in at 8:25, will ' : reach here at 8 ■.

Sarsfield's premises, H \ street, between Sixth and Seventh, Sunday | night, were yesterday morning found in a ' field at Sprague's ranch, a short distance j i from town. It is surmised that the thief, j j finding that he could not carry his undertak- j ing through, abandoned the cattle in the ' eastern portion of the city, and, a number of ! i the cows having been purchased from Sprajue ! by their present owner, they made their way i ; to their old quarters, the remainder of the band following them. !
