OI SEVT OOVERXOK. hc gapa Ugiustcr Friday, October 2 2, 1SS(. TFn Tflne IPqdIIdMcX Ip Talley Him. (8t. Helena Titfttt, Oct.

20.) Quite a severe shock of earthquake was felt i-n Sfc. Helena about four oclock on Saturday morning last by those who were so unlucky as to be awake at that unseemly hour. We are told on good authority that the managers of the Rutherford and Clear Lake railroad contemplate potting on a force of white men in place of the Chinese recently discharged by the company. Irving, the little sod of Mr. and Dlrs.

DI. W. Roberts, died on Saturday morning after a brief illness. The funeral took place on Monday at 2 oclock and was largely attended. The afflicted parents have the sympathy of a large number of friends in the sad ordeal that has befallen them.

DI. D. Sweitzer of DIonticello, passed through Napa last Saturday on her way home from DIartinez, where she had been caring for an old friend, Dlrs. L. L.

Weld, in the latters last illness. At her request we give place to the following obituary notice, found in the Martinez Daily 1 ni of Oct. 15th On the morning of Wednesday October 13tb, Dlrs. L. L.

Weld passed from earth to heaven; she was born in Windsor county, Vermont, January 31, 1821, where her childhood days were passed, she afterwaids with her parents went to Louisiana, where she manied Capt. E. F. Weld, who died in DIartinez in 18(12. The Captain owned and was master of a merchantman.

DIis. Weld accompanied him in all his journeys, going three times around the Horn. The vessel having been sold, they moved to DIartinez in September, 1851, anil opened the Louisiana Hotel. Dlrs. Weld has resided in DIartinez ever since, and may be considered as one of our oldest settlers.

The gentleness, patience, industry, self-denial aud love which she has exhibited through life, is worthy of emulation aud will cause her name to stand among the foremost of the galaxy of noble women. Some of the happiest hours of my boyhood days were spent iu her company. I found sympathy in that kindly heart for any of my boyish troubles.

City 1 The Board met in regular session, The Cottony Kele, Ed. Register: I would like call the attention of the public generally to the cottony scale infesting the acacia aud other trees in Napa City. DJany of these trees have been cut down and burned, bat if a few are left, the danger is still with us. It is the most greedy and voracious of scales, and will infest almost any tree or Drive under the trees with your wagon or buggy and you may carry it to any part of the valley, to your orchaids or vineyards. It is very easy to kill, if you can get at it; but, as it may be found, completely smothering a tree, it is practically impossible to reach it with a spray.

If the trees are not cut down and burned (the best remedy) the tops should be cut off, and what is left thoroughly saturated with whale oil, soap aud sulphur, or lye. The city of Los Augeles has appropriated SI, 000 a moDth towards getting rid ot this pest and then can only prevent it from spreading. I am not alone in expressing the hope that the Supervisors will promptly take this matter ia hand and see that this pest is stamped out. Leonard Coates. I ii the Toi Is.

Merwin, principal of the public school, on last Friday afternoon gave a short literary and oratory halfday holiday to the pupils of his department. The little ones had been instructed to commit short pieces of poetry or prose, or to prepare compositions daring the week, and Friday afternoon Mr. Merwin inaugurated the pleasing feature of devoting one-half day to the delivery, recitation and reading of the efforts of the scholars. This is a step in the right direction, and will tend to create a deeper interest in the affairs of our public institutions and occasion more visits from parents. Once in two weeks, at least, there should be a half day devoted solely to tho mental enjoyment of the pupil and the public will more readily appreciate onr schools.

The ball giYen by the Amerieus Hose Co. No. 2, Friday evening, 'was not as largely attended ns was to be expected considering the object for which it was given, but, vertheless, a goodly number were present, and the pleasure of danciDg was none the less enjoyed on account of the lack of numbers. The music for the occasion was furnished by Prof. C.

Schnoor, and was highly complimented. The talent is purely local and the combination consists of brass, reed and string inslruments. The ball game played at St. Helena yesterday, between tie Unities and Vallejo's was the best, and most, exciting game ever played in the countv It takes its rank among professional games. The score at the close stood five for Vallejo and three for Unities.

Six errors were made by the home club and four by the visitors.

The up-train Wednesday brought to Napa the Republican nominee for Governor and Hon. Oregon Saunders of Visalia. These gentlemen were met at the depot by a committee of Republicans and escorted to the Fal-ace Hotel, where an informal reception took place and dinner was served. In the streets bonfires were blazing and a brass band was playing in honor of Napa's distinguished guest. Before 8 o'clock every seat in the Opera House was occupied and standing-room was at a premium.

The number of people present must have been not less than 1,300. The officers of the meeting were announced by the Chairman of the County Central Committee as follow: President-Won. Chancellor Hartson. Vice-Presidents I. G.

Backus of St. Helena Applause greeted lion. Chancellor Hartson when he was presented to the meeting, and in a few kind words ot endorsement that gentleman introduced HON. JNO. F.

SWIFT, the man wo are all to vote for for Governor, to the vast assemblage. The reception given to Dir. Swift was a cordial one and when the clapping ol hands and clatter of canes and feet ceased, he proceeded with an address that occupied about one hour aud flirty minutes an address that marked him as a man of mind and character, one worthy of the suffrages of a people who have interests to guard and rights to maintaiu. He analyzed the Labor plank of the Democratic platform, showing the inconsistency of the party that a few years ago tonght for the perpetuity of slave labor and that now by a free trade policy would lower the wages and lengthen the work-hours ot the workingman. He referred at length to the alleged Burlingame-Swift treaty and to the ungracious and unwarranted part his old friend Bartlett had taken in the work of misrepresentation which had been systematically carried on by the Democrats from the date of the San Francisco Convention to the present time.

There is no such thing as the Hwift-Burlingame treaty, said the speaker, aud he followed this statement with an exhaustive history of the relations existing between this country and China from tho beginning to the present date. He said tho Burlingame treaty left the hands of Congress tied and showed how, by reason of the peculiar condition of things in China at the time that country was visited in 1880, by a Commission, of which he was one, said Commission was enabled to gain concessions from the wily rulers of the Orient, that at any other juncture could not have been secured for the United States. DIany people think the treaty now existing between the United States and China is one-sided and in favor of China, but it is the same that England extorted by force of arms. The speaker defied any Democrat to show where the Democratic party had done anything in the way of restriction, except to restrict the passage of an anti-Chinese Republican bill in the Lower House of Congress. During the delivery of his speech Dir.

Swift was often and vigorously applauded, and the general verdict is that he made a splendid impression and many votes. HON. OREGON SAUNDERS Was then introduced and spoke for about thirty minutes, devoting most of his speech to the American Party. Such a party he thought unnecessary in this State, as the Republican party entirely covers the ground. The ambition of a foreigner is brought out by the chance to raise himself araonggt his fellows, and to take away this privilege is to deprive him of all desire to improve.

Pennsylvania is almost ns German as Germany itself, and it is as loyal a State as there is in the Union. There is no reason in crying out against Dir. Swift because he respects foreign-born citizens. It was Irish police that pat down the mobs of Anarchists and the Irish stood manfully in defense of our llag in the war for the Union. The speaker was glad to know that onr next Governor will be a man with a heart warm enough and a mind broad enough to take in all classes of citizens.

With reference to onr common school system, which ha3 always been championed by the Republican party, aud a prediction that the triumph of the Republican ticket this year meant the success of Blaine and Logan in 1888, the speaker closed a short and well-timed address. A l.lve Fire Department. The Unity Hose Company attempted Wednesday to get ahead of the boys by turning in an alarm of fire when the Republican bonfire was started on the corner of Main and First streets. The members of "the company were notified to be on the lookout and everything looked as though they were to get first water on, One of the Pioneers dropped on the scheme? however, and when the alarm sounded tho Pioneers Were in motion aud on the ground before the other companies had left their houses. Narprir Party at Me Farlanil.bnrK- A number ot young ladies and gentleman met at the home of Daniel Garvin and passed a pleasant evening last week singing and dancing.

Jennie Liilard and her sister, Miss Diary Drummond, will start for Napa next week. They will go fully equipped with rides and ammunition for a grand deer hunt on their arrival. Under ordinary circumstances I pity the deer in the track of the hunter, but in this case pity gives place to envy, and for the time, I would gladly change places with the antlered denizen of Napas wilds for the sake of meetiug these fair huntresses on my native heath. Knowing that the danger would be small, and the pleasure immense, and if under such circumstances speech were vouchsafed me, I would say, waste no ammunition ladies, I am vour venison. A lo( master Mtatmrnt, About three years ago there came upon me a feeling of general debility, accompanied with loss of appetite and energy.

Eventually rheumatism attacked me in my shoulders and arms, which so disabled me that I could not dress myself. Finally I had to give np my Bchool. I was then engaged in teaching. The physicians tried various prescriptions, but failed to bring me relief. In fact, some of them seemed at a losa to make a diagnosis of my case.

The disease finally settled in my right ip and leg, and produced lamps under the skin and swelling of the limb, especially at the ankle, that I could not rest at night or walk except with a crutch. Previously I had been a man of fine physique and strong constitution. Various remedies were tried but do permanent relief followed, and they were abandoned, SeeiDg a certificate of a case similar to mine that had been cured by Swifts Specific, I concluded to try it. I commenced to improve on the first bottle. Have taken twelve bottles of the large ami small, aDd am glad to say that I have been entirely relieved, and have had no symptom of the disease for more than twelve months, I recommend Swifts Specific to all my friends.

liMUlifflR Kiami A Joke on Henry. The large force of workmen at Sawyer Cos, tannery the other day received two boxes of cigars with the compliments of Henry Gesford, Democratic candidate for Joint Senator-Following the cigar? came copies of the Boycotter, in which was an article of warning against using Chinese-made cigars bearing the brand of A. E. Simons. The boys read the article and then examined the cigars sent them.

Dlischievous Boycotter over wise workmen, unlucky Henry. Simons says thumbs up. The thumbs all went up, because the fated name of Simons covered the label that covered the cigars that Heurys candidacy brought. Be patient, fellow citizens and tanneiy-men; onr Carr will soon arrive and treat to the genuine article; he smokes and gives out none but white- labor cigars. SwiftN Nonlimenls.

It has been insinuated by political enemies that I entertain sentiments of hostility against some of my fellow-citizens because of their birthplace, and towards others because of their peculiar religious views. I deny this positively once for all. I have never done so, even in the crudeness of youth and now I have reached the riper years of mature life, I am certainly far from holding such notions and repudiate them entirely. I have been accused by the Democratic press of standing by in silent acquiescence when such sentiments were expressed. This is simply and purely false, and to the best of my belief made out ot whole cloth.

Frovi John F. Swift' 8 speech. K. K. Commissioner.

A. Abbott of Sacramento, Republican nominee for Railroad Commissioner in this District, is announced to speak in Napa next Saturday evening with Mr. Garter and Corporal Tanner. The following extract from the Oroville Mercury a Democratic paper, in regard to this gentleman is worthy of notice: Mr. Abbott is a pleasing talker, bat, as he said, made no pretentions to speeoh-makiDg.

He said he is neither funny nor eloquent. He devoted himsell to discussing the duties of Railroad Commissioner, and showed that he understands the duties of that office. We are led to believe that Mr. Abbott is a conscientious, honest and capable gentleman, well worthy the office to which he has been nominated. The Y.
