San Andreas independent., 1858-07-17

Died-ln San Andreas, at the residence of
MIR. j. W. Willard, on Monday morning, 18th
July, at l09 o'clock, Mr.. THOMAS J. PALMER,
aged 25 years. Sacramento Union and Co.
lumbia county, (N. Y.,) papers please copy.
Deceased was the son of Mr. Jacob Palmer,
of Maiden, Columbia county, n Y. He emf
grated to California in September, 1853, and
shortly after landing at San Francisco, took
up his residence in San Andreas, where he
had been until within the past year, industri-
ously engaged in mining. With a frail con-
stitution, and the terrible family inheritance,
consumption, in his system, the labor of the
mines soon triumphed over his strength and
about one year ago developed the disease
which terminated his life. He fingered in
constant pain and increasing weakness
mere walking shadow-until Saturday last,
when sudden hemmorrhage of the lungs
Frustrated and carried him off, after severe
illness of two and half days His death was
met by the same noble calmness and forttude
which characterized his life.
Mr.. Palmer was general favorite. He had
no enemy. In him the elements" were in
deed most beautifully combined Intelligent,
generous, possessing vigorous mind and a
tender heart, he grasped the love of many and
the respect of all. His death was the subject
of mourning and regret to all who knew him.
During his last illness there was no care that
friendship and humanity could bestew upon
suffering, that he did not receive. After death
all honor was paid by our citizens to his re-
mains The funeral cortege was comprised of
almost the entire village, men and women, and
exhibited q most profound and christian feel
ing indeed. BY the unanimous consent of the
Lodge, his body was deposited in the Masonic
burial ground of San Andreas.

FIRE IN THE MISUNDERSTANDING the pa 81
week the mountains around San Andreas and
San Antonio have been OH fire. During the
extremely hot days of Saturday and Sunday
last, the tlre ragged with terrible violence, con-
sumlng everything in its track that would burn.
on San Domingo Creek, at the ranch of Mr..
Cogswell, fffy tons Of hay were destroyed on
Sunday last, although the field in which II
was lying was surrounded by well-beaten
Highway. The hay was the property OF Mr.
Brown, and its loss will be severely felt by
him. The fence on the ranch was also con-
sumed Last year about this time the dwell
Ing house and other buildings, on this ranch,
were DESTROYED under similar circumstances.
Near French Camp ranch was also de-
stroyed by fire. a large quantity of thrcshed,
clear barley was consumed also the fencing
and buildings, the property of French Baker
at French Camp. Much injury to the ranches
in their vicinities has been sustained. These
fires generally originate in carelessness, by
sportsmen shooting burning wads into the dry
leaves and thus firing the woods

The ALLEGHANIANs.-On Sunday evening
last this favorite troupe gave a concert in the
school-house of this place. The audience was
not large, but appeared well pleased with the
performance Miss Carrie Hiffert has a fine
voice, of great compass, and sung many of her
best songs, in concert with Mr.. Oakley. This
conversational style of music is a new feature
in musical ovations. Mr. Stoepel played on
a harp of a thousand ngs"-spirits of pine
and old rye made perfect. This machine was
made of fifty or hundred pine sticks, of vari-
GUS sizes, linked together and nusicalLy spread
like butter and molasses on ground work of
rolls of rye-straw; the sound was at times
shrill, sharp, grave, or gay as any belle could
wish. Decidedly the best piece sung, both in
words and music, was "The Old Fashioned
Bible," by Mr.. Oakley. Miss Hifert also sung
There little maid and she wore little bonnet
she had little finger, with little ring upon it,"
IN an amusing manner-very archlv looking
and acting the character described. We COM
mend the Alleghanians as worthy of patron
age, and deserving all success.

From this city to San Bernardino there will
at first be three stations. 1t is probable that
the route will be by the way of Chino Ranch,
as that road is said to be better than the usu-
ally travelled road, and although longer, better
time can be made over it. Ii is thought TINS
arrangement will afford greater accommoda-
ton to the travelling public.
The stages will commence running on the

FATAL SrABBING.-On Friday, July 9th, a
difficulty occurred at San Antoine Camp, which
resulted in the death of one man, Chileno,
and the serious injury of another, from stab
bing. The murderer is Portuguese, of desperate
character, well-kncwn in that Camp. He was
arrested by Mr.. Charles Vickers and has since
been conveyed by Deputy Sheriff B. X. Thorn,
to the County Jail, to await his trial.
Since writing the above the other Chilcno,
stabbed, has died. We are informed that too
mucn praise cannot be given Mr.. Vickers who
at great personal risk arrested the murderer
if citizens, generally, would act in a similar
exemplary manner, in cases of homicide; II
would frequently save the officers of the law
much trouble and the county great expense.
