COMMITTED SUICIDE -- The 'Alta' of yesterday says:
Yesterday afternoon a man named Daniel LENNEHAN swallowed 2 ounces of laudanum, which rash act uery vearly [as written] resulted fatally. He was conveyed to the City and County Hospital by Officer McSURLEY. He stated to the officer that he took the laudanum to relieve a pain in his foot. Some time ago he was convicted of robbery and sent to the State Prison, from whence he was afterwards liberated, on account of having been only convicted on Chinese evidence. Since then his wife has been divorced from him.
LENNEHAN was the defendant in the case in which the Supreme Court rendered its anti-Chinese nullification decision several months ago, declaring that the laws of Congress, with regard to testimony in criminal cases, are not binding on the State of California.

A VETERAN REWARDED -- The following we take from the 'Bulletin' of last
evening:
An interesting incident transpired at the Pension Agent's office in this city today; one that is likely to be remembered by the few persons present. Henry KING, of Farmington, San Joaquin county, the only veteran of the war of 1812, thus far recognized by the Government as living in Californian,
received the 1st installment of his pension -- $96 per year.
Mr. KING is a hale, hearty looking man, in his 79th year; or, as he expresses it, "only 78, sir." He is solid, substantial and jolly; would probably turn the scales at 175 pounds. His hair is white as snow, and the same may be said of his whiskers. He came into the office with a friend, but that friend was neither cane or spectacles, simply a party to prove his identity. When the check was ready for signature, the old hero stepped forward and wrote his name upon it in a bold, plain hand, without a tremble or quiver. As he was good natured and communicative, our reporter managed to glean some facts relative to hisearly history.
At the commencement of the war, he was residing in his native State -- Connecticut; subsequently he removed to Western New York. He joined Captain David BUELL's company of volunteers, and did service in Western New York. Mr. KING's memory appeared to be in excellent condition. He described
the battle of Queenstown at great length, "how the skirmishing commenced afore daylight, and continued, at intervals, until noon. The British had to beat a retreat before our boys in the morning, but about 3 o'clock in the afternoon they rallied in strength, and, having a superior force and 6
pieces of artillery to our 2, they beat us." Mr. KING saw the British General, BROCK, shortly after his death, and stood upon the spot where he was slain. The old veteran was captured, held a prisoner for 3 days, and then discharged on a parole of honor. He was not regularly exchanged until 1 year and a half afterward. He resided in New York for about 50 years, and has only been in this State about 12 months.
