  • Notes 
    • Death of Mr. Wm. Woods

      This young gentleman, whose serious illness has been before mentioned in our columns, expired yesterday morning at the residence of his father, Beverly street. It will be remembered that Mr. Woods left Galt last year for Los Angeles, California, in the hope that his health might be improved; but after staying there some time he found himself getting rather worse than better, and was compelled to return home. Since then he has been gradually sinking, until the end came yesterday morning. Mr. Woods was in the 21st year of his age, and was a young man universally esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
