Death of J.dge Hardy. We clip the following from the Alta in reference to the death of Judge Hardy, who was a’ brother-in-law of Saale p .B. .Reardan-of. this city: The d sease under which Judge Jas, H, Hardy has been suffering forthe past fortnight, terminated fatally at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Judge ‘Hardy was well known throughout the Pacific Coast. He came here iii 1852, from Illinois, of which State he was a native, at the age of twenty . ____\ years, and soon began ‘the. practice of law in Sacramento, of which county he was elected District’ Attorney iu 1854, holding the position two years. In 1857, the counties of Calaveras and Amador were erected into the. Seventh Judicial—District, which Mr. Hardy was appointed Judge by Governor Weller. He was subsequently elected to theposition ‘by popular vote, and retained it until 1862, When he was inrpeached by-the of . {during the past fortnight on one or dropping,from the ceiling, HortiBi Mr. Robles went to the front aun saved Mahe, ae he saw On.the opposite side of the . er _. Street to cofiielover to the house. The two men then went up to the! third story or attic-an shed open, the door of the room from which the blood was dripping. Stretehed upon the floor before’ them, lay the body of the suicide. He lay upon his face in a pool of blood, with blood spread all about his head. His right arm was. extended, afid about six inches from his hand lay an Open . ahd bloody razor. Near by stood’ an open satchel, ‘from which he had evidently taken the razor with which he had ended his life. It was about 15 minutes to 10 o’clock when the .chambermaid came down stairs and tuld of the blood she had seen dripping from the room above, Drink and gaming appear to have rediiced the man to such a state that he preferred death to life: The teslimony of the several witnesses does not show that he had been drinking or that he was intoxicated at the time he did the fearful deed, but ‘they spoke of his having lost good positions at bis business through his intemperate habits and of having seen him in a state-of intoxication Legislature and removed from the Bench. for seditious utterances. Soon after, he removed to Virginia City, where he stood high at the bar, until 1865, when he cameto-this city, résiding here ever -sitice, and being associated in the practice of his profession with Leander Quint. He leaves a wife and three children, and an aged father, in this city. His funeral will take place next Sunday, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, inwhich order he was a prominent member. A Fartarutn Oup Horsx.—‘‘Old Joe,” a faithful old black horse, which has becn owned in the family of Mr. Julien Hamel) of this city for tlie past seventeen years, departed this life the other dayat the advanced age of 32 years. Mr. Hamell brought was fourteen years old at that time. He crossed the plains first-in '50, ‘and several times afterward. The horse was once captured by the (amauches, who cut his ears, During one of the trips across the plains he was shot in the.throat and nearly killed. The windpipe was— nearly severed by the ball, butthe wound was carefully dressed, and ‘the animal lived. ‘During the past -ten years ‘Old Joe” was driven before a} hearse, and during that time has hauled over 700 persons to the grave, ‘The old horse was a great pet in the family where~he was owned, and was kept alive during the lust two years of his existence ~ by—eating bread and bran.— Vallejo “Independwat, > eo ‘Tux London Times, of June Oh. f grimage to Rome, expresses surprise that a race priding .itself-on a two oceasions. It seems on account of bis being known to be addicted to drink be was unuble to find employment as engineer at any mine or milk was out of nioney and without credit and so in a fit of desperation and remorse concluded to make his exit from the troubles which appeared to beset him. In former. times when some of the witnesses first knew Curtis, he was a sober and industrious man, and worked as machinist at building the Petaluma mill and as engineer at the Belcher and at other mines and mills; but finally he got into bud ways, and spent alk his earnings for drink and at the gam= ing table. He leaves a wife and three children, whom he had much neglected of late years, in Nevada city, California, where they are most respectubly connected. A few days daughter, with which he seemed much pleased, ‘and spoke to the clerk of the Verandah House about the great improvement-she had made in her—writing. But two or three days ago he suid to one of the witnesses, N. La Riviere, ‘‘Nelse, I believe we can live a hundted, years yet!” This was said in allusion to the narrow escape from death the two men had once in the Belcher mine. Thus it would-seem that it was but a short time before the fatal deed wasdone that tis suicidal notions took possession of his mind. After death there was taken fron, his clothes) a vial marked ‘strychnine, and it may be that he took a dose of this poison and afterwards, in his agony, put his razor to his throat, as an easier and more Speedy way of ending his life.

In former. times when some of the witnesses first knew Curtis, he was a sober and industrious man, and worked as machinist at building the Petaluma mill and as engineer at the Belcher and at other mines and mills; but finally he got into bud ways, and spent alk his earnings for drink and at the gam= ing table.
