Gov. NYl's ADDREs5.-In compliance with
an urgent invitation, Gov. Nye, Of Nevada
tearitory, at present guest of G. II. Sweezy,
Esq President of the Society, briefly ad-
dressed an immense throng of people at the
Pavilion last evening His remarks were
most eagerly listened to, and gave great de-
light to all He said that when he used to
hear of the wonderful products of our state
he thought the relaters were mistaken, and
thought they had seen what they had not
He wac satisfied however that the half had
not been told. He said agriculture was the
very base Of civilization, and urged young
men to go into the fields and embrown their
faces with toll. For, said he, labor makes
strong the frame, and he who would succeed
in any intellectual aim must be possessed Of
the physical power to propel the brain. He
said that were he little older he would
venture some advice to the young ladies, and
it would be, that they be not afraid of the
hard hands of the farmer boy. He said the
man who titled the earth might be said to c
in direct communion with his Creator. He
spoke at some length of the achievements of
the inventive industry of the American ma
ton, and said the farmers of California must
imbed their anchor in the firm foundation of
the Constitution, and the mechanics must
cling to it with unyielding tenacity, if they
would progress as they have commenced. He
.l
like ours were irresistible, and declared his
belief that those who should raise their
hands to strike down our Constitution, the
| best the world ever saw, would he over
whelmed by the return of the wave with
which they sought to overthrow that glor-
Gus work of the hands of revolutionary sres
His remarks were brief, but exceedingly
comprehensive often eloquent, and all in
teresting. He made no effort towards sci
address, but seemed to speak the thoughts
brought uppernost in his mind by the scene
around him. He was at frequent intervals
and at closing, vehemently applauded.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CATTLE GROUNDS
Between II and o'clock yesterday while
the racing was taking place at the Cattle
Grounds boy ii years old, son of Mr.. Glass
cock Of Yolo county, met his death in the
following manner He was riding young
horse owned by Col j. E. Stevens of Sutter
county There were several contestants in
the race, and in the first half mile, when
ABOUT half way around, Stevens horse bolted
the track, and started for the gate. The boy
could not hold him, and being strapped on,
could not throw himself off He then pulled
with ell his might upon one rein to try and
turn the horse from his course, but without
avail The horse was coming diagonally to-
wards the gate, from the west, and, as he
neared it, finding it closed, he sheared to the
left, and President Swezy's buggy being inn
mediately in bis path he gathered himself
for a tremendous spring, and leoped directly
over the buggy. The strap giving way. the
hoy was thrown over the horses head, strik-
ing upon his back, and the horses legs strik-
ing the seat of the buggy tipped it over, and
caused him to turn a complete 81 somersault-
He fell with terrific crash across the boys
stomach and chest, breaking the boys neck,
and causing instant death.
A very melancholy feature in connection
with the accident, Is the fact that the boys
mother was much averse to his coming to the
Fair, but being urgently solicited finally con-
sented that he should come and ride horse
for neighbor, Mr.. TebUs After riding Mr..
