Alfred Skinner marrried and settled in New Haven, had a large farm, and was in comfortable a nd easy circumstances, but in the spring of 1850, during the prevalance of the gold mania, le ft all these enjoyments of home and friends, and started with the emigration of that year ove rland to California. Arrived out the last of July after a weary and toilsome journey. The cou ntry failed to meet his expectations, and disheartened and discoursed he determined to star t immediately for home. He was seen in Sacramento City by some friends, and said he should ve ry soon start for home by way of the sthmus, since which time nothing has been heard of him , and no trace can be found of his movements.- About this time a vessel passing from San Fran cisco to Panama was visited with that terrible scourge, the cholera, and nearly a hundred pas sengers perished. It is supposed that Mr. Skinner was on board this vessel and among others w ent down to rest with the countless multitude who sleep beneath the ocean wave. His wife an d children waited long and anxiously for tidings from the absent husband and father, until a t last the conviction settled into a certainty that until the sea should give up its dead h e would be seen no more.
