TO BE MENDED. -- The drowned and poor old fished-up, mud-ridden, worm-eaten, barnacled, bescrawled-by-newspaper-reporters, Aquila, is to make a pilgrimage to Mare Island, where she will be cobbled up and made fit for sea again. She has survived many afflictions. Long may she wave.

THE PEOPLE'S EXCURSION. -- Recollect that you can reach the Ocean Beach by the Central street-railroad cars and the omnibuses from Lone Mountain, for thirty-five cents. It is a delightful ride, now that the road from the Cemetery out has been widened and repaired, and a sensible man ceases to envy, in the pleasantness of his feelings and the economy of his cash, the fast young bloods who flash by him in more ostentatious but more expensive vehicles than a humble omnibus. You may not feel like taking a two-bit drink with Foster, when you arrive at the Cliff House; but as you go for fresh air and a quiet stroll, you can saunter along the sandy beach, gratis, and feel, with Byron,
"There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar."
If the sea don't roar to please you, you can give ear to the seals on the neighboring rocks. They may impress you more favorably.

A DEAD DOG CASE. -- One Creegan appeared in Court yesterday morning, with a bad-looking eye and an uncertain impression about cause, manner and effect, etc. On Thursday morning last, he was aroused from his siesta by a pistol-shot in the room where he was indulging in h is nap, and found stretched on the floor in his gore, the "pallid corpse" of a little pet black dog that nestled on his bosom while he slept. One of John's optics had been nearly extinguished by the wad or spent ball from the pistol, and with the other eye he saw John Crugar mizzle out of the door and down stairs. Crugar had undoubtedly done the shooting, and the injured man instituted proceedings against him for committing an assault with a deadly weapon. The death of the dog touched Creegan's feelings; it was a good dog; a black and tan colored dog; a little dog, and attended only to its business. He apostrophized its virtues, and suggested to the Court that the dog be brought in that he might enact Mark Antony over the dead body of seize her. The assault with a deadly weapon case was dismissed, but the Court intimated that a complaint for shooting within the city limits would be sustained if entered.
