Death of: CALIFORNIA; pionccr.

The Sacramento Union says that on the morn
ing of the 25th instant, DIR. Robert Scmple died
at his home. fourteen miles sonfh of Colusa,-
His death was occasioned by Injuries received
by fall from horse. DR.. Semple was in the
forty eighth year of his age when he died. He
was born in Kentucky, and came across the
plains to California in 1916. Towards the end
of the same year, in conjunction with the late
Walter Cotton he established the Californian at
Monterey, which was the first newspaper pnl,-
lshed in the State. In the same year he took
leading part in what was called the Bear Flag
revolution. He afterwards in conjunction with
Mr.. Thomas O. Larkin. founded the city of Be-
nicia, on ground belonging to Gen. Vallejo 1t
will be recollected by many Of our old pioneers,
that the proposal to make Reuica the RIVAL as
maratime capital of the State, of San Francis
co, excited no little trepidation at the time
among those who had embarked capital in real
estate, or who resided here. Since then, San
Francisco has outgrown all rivalry; while, at
the same time Bencia has not exactly stood
STILL Mr.. Larkin afterwards disposed Of his in-
terest in Benicia with which place DR.. Semple
continued TO be more or less connected till his
DEATH
In 1910, DR.. Semple was elected delegate to
the Convention for the formation of a State Con-
stitution in August OF that year. The Conven-
ton chose him their President almost maui
mously. Though of late it had been little heard
Of the pane of Dir. Semple was familiar to the
ears Of our citizens for several years after '46
His connection with some of the chief events IN
the early history Of Caiitornia, entitle DR.. Sem
pie to q prominent place in its annals. A wri-
ter in the Sacramento Union thus closes his obit-
uary notice of the deceased =
{. He was of a confding nature, md possessed
OF genial disposition, social habits and urbanity
OF manlfer; he was an agreeable companion. a
disinterested friend q tender father and an at
fectionate husband. After life full Of interes
ting incidents and Astounding in fruitful merits
not unmixed with the vicisstudes of fate, he re,
poses where the wild flowers blossom and the
mountain winds sigh his requiem"
