SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH, Mar. 29 –

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY – Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Myers arrested John COLLINS on a warrant issued by Justice Baldwin, charging him with burglary in entering the stable of Andrew WOLF, forcibly breaking a lock and stealing a set of harness a few nights ago, belonging to T.W. NORTHEY. The man COLLINS is the same person whom officer McMahon arrested for having taken up his lodgings night before last in an out house on the premises of J.A. BROWNING. It appears that the accused expressed anxiety as to the safety of a carpet-bag or valise he had placed on the steamer Julia on Tuesday afternoon and which had been carried off without its owner. Myers, learning the fact, and looking at the man, thought the valise might be worth looking after and he did so. It returned on the Julia yesterday morning and was found to contain the harness above mentioned. Myers is certainly entitled to much credit for the manner in which he managed to recover the stolen property. COLLINS will be examined !
on Sat
urday.

ASSAULT on PETER RILEY – J. RITTBERG waived an examination before Justice Brush yesterday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to do bodily harm to the person of Peter RILEY and gave bonds in the sum of $1000, to appear before the County Court.

SUICIDE – The San Jose 'Courier,' March 28th, says: "John HART, who has been at work at the Ten Mile House in Santa Clara county, was arrested for stealing a pistol. While in charge of the officer he managed to take sufficient strychnine to "shuffle off his mortal coil," and died at 3 a.m. yesterday. He was a stranger and an intemperate man. The Coroner will hold an inquest today.
