Street, near 'XlrlrcL, The White House Thos. A. Brock died at his residence near Oak Mound School in this city last Thursday afternoon, of consumption, aged 58 years and six He had been a sufferer with the disease for several years. Last Summer he made a trip to British Columbia, in hopes that the ocean voyage would do him good, but he came back unimproved. About three months ago, he took to his bed, and from that time gradually sank, growing weaker day by day until last Thursday, when he passed quietly away.

Deceased was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and came to California in 1851 or 1852. Before the days of the iron horse in California he drove stage on the route between Napa and Sacramento, but when the stage coach was displaced by the railroad, he settled in Napa, following the business of teaming for a number of years. Tom was of a general disposition, and as has often been remarked by his friends, possessed a heart as big as a barrel. He thought a great deal of his friends, and with an open generosity was always ready to share with any who required his assistance. He leaves a wife but no children.

The funeral ceremonies took place from the Catholic Church last Saturday at ten oclock. Father Slattery celebrated High Mass in the presence of sorrowing relatives and friends who had congregated to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers Messrs. John Simmons, John Donahue, L. Macken, J. D.

Murphy, Barney Me-Grade and M. OConnell. A New Style of Blind. Mr. W.

A Brown has secured the sole right for the sale of the Bristol Inside Sliding Blinds in Napa county. These blinds are a great improvement upon all other styles of inside blinds, and are sure to come into universal uSe. Mr. A. W.

Norton has signified his intention of having his new house, now in course of construction, fitted; up throughout with this blind, and a number of others have already expressed their intention to do likewise. The blinds are constructed in three sections, two of the sections having stationary slats and the other rolling slats, and the sections are arranged to slide up and down in grooves, like a sash, so that the degree of darkness or light in a room can be regulated with the greatest convenience. The principal advantages claimed for the Bristol patent blinds are: They do not interfere with curtains or plants do not sag as they are not hung on hinges the light can be admitted from any part of the window they do not rattle, and are easily removed when necessary to clean them. Mr. Brown is stopping at the Revere House where a model of the invention is on exhibition, and we advise all contemplating the purchase of inside blinds to call there and examine it.

Death From Heart Disease. Coroner Lawrence was summoned to St. Helena last Saturday to hold an inquest upon the body of Frank Lazzari, an Italian aged 3 years, who died suddenly at his home in that town Friday evening. Tire Star says that from the evidence given at the inquest, it appears Mrs. Lazzari was in San Francisco, and deceased was home alone with his daughter Lena, aged about 12 years.

The two had been to town, and returning about 6:30 p. deceased started to build a fire in the stove, when he suddenly fell to the floor dead. An acquaintance coming in found him this way, with the little girl tugging at him and trying to wake him. Mrs. Lazzari returned on the evening train, entirely unprepared for the sad news that awaited her.

The jury which was composed of Geo. Horton, J. H. McCord, L. Lazarus, II.

E. Alden, W. II. Husbands, A. Potterton, John Gillam and Jas.

McGee, returned a verdict of death from natural causes, arising from heart disease. Deceased leaves a wife and two children. The remains were interred in the St. Helena Cemetery at 2 :30 p. on Sunday.

Helena last Sundaymorning at about 8 oclock. Deceased had been a sufferer for several years with a throat and lung complaint, and a post-mortem examination revealed the fact that both lungs were completely gone. Deceased was born in Cedar county, Iowa, in November, 1847, and was in his 38th year at the time of his death. Coming to California in 1859, in course of time he entered upon the profession of journalism, which he followed for quite a number of years, being at different times publisher of the San Jose Guide and Sacramento Agriculturalist, and later a member of the editorial staffs of the San Francisco Chronicle and the Sacramento Record -Union and Bee. He was a versatile writer, and all his literary productions were marked by that conciseness, clearness and force that characterize the writings of the best journalists of the day.

He was an expert stenographer, and for a number of years, and up to the time of his death was the official reporter of the Superior Court of Napa county. He reported in full four sessions of the California Legislature, for the Sacramento papers, and in company with E. B. Willis also reported the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention. At the beginning of the last Legislature he was engaged to report the proceedings of the session for the Record-Union, but his health failing him he was compelled to give up the task before the session fairly got under way.

He then took a trip to the southern part of the State in hopes the change would prove beneficial, but the disease had become master, and he returned home several weeks ago, and took to his bed never to rise again. He was a man of remarkable energy, perseverance and in. dustry an open hearted, public spirited man to his friends as true as steel and to his wife and children a devoted husband and father. He leaves a wife, two children, a father and mother, two brothers and three sisters, besides a host of friends to mourn his untimely death. The funeral took place Monday afternoon from the family residence in St.

Helena, Rev. J. Mitchell conducting the services. The funeral was largely attended, quite a number going up from Napa, including a delegation from the K. of II.

Lodge of this city, of which deceased was a member in good standing The remains were interred in the St. Helena Cemetery. Skating Carnival. The skating carnival at Capt. Hatts rink last Saturday evening attracted a large attendance.

The seating capacity of the hall was taxed to its utmost, and many were compelled to stand. The Excelsior band was present and added attractiveness to the occasion There were about forty persons on the floor in mask, and they as well as the spectators seemed to enjoy the affair to the fullest extent. W. E. Deweese, W.

J. Maclay, Rollo Fay, E. Biggs, C. Owen, Jos. Fine and Wm.

Parker acted as Judges, and awarded the prizes as follows For the most graceful gentleman skater, Geo. Brown, a fine pair of skates most graceful lady skater. Miss Ada Zollner, card receiver most graceful couple. Miss Lou Palmer and George Watson, a clock: biggest gawk, Ira Johnson, box of cigars. After the distribution of prizes, George Brown gave a fine exhibition of fancy skating.

Skating was then indulged in for a time, when the rollers were removed and the evenings entertainment wound up with a social dance. Death of Mrs. Sarah E. Spurr. The St.

Helena Star of Monday says It is with the deepest sympathy for sorrowing relatives that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Sarah E. Spurr, who has been lingering on the verge of the grave for weeks past Mrs. Spurr was taken with a paralytic stroke nine weeks ago last Saturday, and had been very low ever since, with loving relatives by her side every moment to minister to her every want. At her advanced ae there could be no doubt of the final result of the severe attack, and relatives and friends wTere in a measure prepared for the dissolution of soul and body, which took place at three oclock Thursday afternoon.

The deceased was a native of Kentucky, and came to California in 1852 She lived in Sonoma county for a number of years, moving to this county about 12 years ago. She was G5 years of age at the time of her death, and leaves five children whom she lived to see happily married and comfortably settled. The names of these four daughters and one son are Mrs. G. W.

Risley, Mrs. John York, Mrs. Nettie Hudson and Mrs. Hawkins. The son, R.

L. Spurr, is our presentCity Marshal. The funeral took place Saturday, at 4 oclock p. from the residence of Mrs. G.W.

Risley Rev. James Mitchell preached a funeral sermon at the house and conducted further services at the grave The long cortege of sympathizing friends which followed the remains to the cemetery, evidenced the high esteem in which deceased was held, as also the sincere sorrow which pervades the community over the bereavement of the children and other relatives of the departed one. Held to Answer. The preliminary examination of James Moore, was completed in Justice Smiths Court last Thursday, and resulted in his being held to answer the charge of assault with intent to commit murder. His bail was fixed at $3,000, which he has not yet furnished, but we understand that he will secure it in a few days.

The father, with his wife and daughter Hattie, is now in San Francisco, while Charles will remain in Carson for several months yet to settle up the last of the business. A Shower of Crickets. From Mr.

D. M. Stockmon, who returned the other day from Suisun, we learn that one day last week there was a perfect shower of black beetles in that vicinity. The little bugs fell by millions, and seeking refuge in dwellings and stores and in any handy place they could crawl into, proved a great annoyance to the people. Thousands of beetles wrere swept up and shovelled into fires, but there seemed to be no very apparent diminution in their numbers.

We see by the Sacramento papers that there was also a shower of the bugs in that city. The Chinese residents of the Capital City went wild wTith delight over the visitation, and gathered the bugs up by bucketsful. The black beetle when dried is prized as a great luxury by the Chinese, and consequently the opportunity to lay in a supply of the delicacy was seized upon with an avidity that left the Digger Indian after grasshoppers away back in the shade. A few crickets have been seen in Napa during the past few days, which would seem to indicate that we wrere located just on the outskirts of the bugdeluge. The Bank Exchange.

This saloon, conducted by Chas. Hargrave, is now probably the finest fitted up establishment of the kind outside of San Francisco. A new floor has just been laid, neatly figured linolium put down, the card rooms remodelled, the walls and ceiling'repapered with handsome and costly material, and the woodwork repainted throughout. The bar has also been refitted up in fine style with handsome ornaments and new glass-w'are, and with the walls set off with a fine large new mirror and a number of fine pictures, the place now put on quite a metropolitan appearance. The improvements were completed this week, and the place was re-opened for business Tuesday afternoon.

Charles has laid in a large stock of choice and cigars, and will no doubt make the Bank Exchange a more popular resort than ever before. Grand Army of the Republic At a meeting of Kit Carson Post, G. A. R. of this city held last Friday night it was decided that the Post should turn out in a body on Memorial Day, the 30tli of May, decorate the graves of ex-soldiers in Tulocay Cemetery in the morning, and then go to St.

Helena on the cars and participate with Kilpatrick Post in the exercises at that place. They will return to Napa in time to hold the final exercises of the day at the Post room on Randolph street. A committee was also appointed to consider the feasibility of giving a public entertainment early next month. The memorial exercises at the Opera House last Tuesday evening in honor of the martyred President Abraham Lincoln, given under the auspices of the Napa Turn Verein, called together a large and appreciative audience. Ex-Governor Saloman who was announced as the orator of the evening was unable to be present, but his place was well filled by District Attorney Hogan, who delivered an eloquent and able address appropriate to the occasion.

The instrumental and vocal selections on the programme were well rendered and highly appreciated. Fred Laton, formerly a student at the Oak Mound School in this city, died at San Francisco yesterday.

F. Swartz, of St. Helena, informs the Moon that very many Zinfandel vines are dying in various portions of the valley. Mr. Swartz attributes the cause to grapes being left to rot on the vines, thereby killing the young buds and running bad sap into the mother cane.

The saloon in the Granger Hall building at Yountville is now conducted by Mr. Guy Sumner, and parties traveling up the valley can now find at that place liquid refreshments and cigars of a quality that will induce them to stop whenever they pass that way.

Mount walked off with the prize. The Coombs tract still continues to improve. Mr. R. E.

Loehman, lately of St. Helena, has just bought thirteen acres of land in this tract, and will build immediately. Mrs. Weddle has also bought seventeen acres in this tract and has commenced to improve her purchase. The entertainment given by the Browns Valley Literary Society last Friday at the school house called out a large and appreciative audience.

An excellent literary and musical programme was well carried out, and all present enjoyed the occasion to the fullest extent. The proceeds of the entertainment are to be devoted to the purchase of an organ for the society. Thomas L. Thompson, Secretary of State, has sent to the Journal office a pamphlet, compiled in his office, which gives the personnel of the different departments of the State Government, salary, date of expiration of term, the county officers of the various counties, their political standing, list of acting Notaries, figures of Californias vote in detail at the last election for I'resident and Congressmen, and other valuable information. The St.

Helena Times of last Saturday says: Mr. Ino Gotliebsen gave us a sample yesterday of some champagne which he had made. The wine used to make champagne was from E. Hey-manns cellars, and was two years old. The process of making it was the French process, with which Mr.

Gotliebsen is well acquainted. We sampled the champagne a few hours after it was made, and it was even then of fair quality. Mr. Gotliebsen states that in France, after the champagne is made, it is bottled and placed in cool cellars, and left there about four months, covered with sand, layer upon layer. The same will be done with several "bottles of what he has made, and at the expiration of that time we feel confident the result will prove that from good wines in St.

Helena better champagne can be made than from poor wines in San Francisco. The regular annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the St. Helena Public Cemetery was held on Saturday last at the Town Hall in that town.
