OBITUARY..

Died suddenly in Auburn, October r. 1866
JAMES ANDERSON, of Heart disease, aged a. years
His funeral will take place from Masonic Hall,
to- morrow (Sunday) at 10 oclCck.]
1t is with profund sorrow that we record
the sudden decease of James Anderson, ESQ
in Auburn, which occurred as above announc-
ed. His death occurred, probably from the
cause above stated, in a moment of time,
between the hours Of nine and ten o'clock in
the morning, while sitting in his chair in
the PLACER HERALD OFFICE. Up to the
moment Of his decease he had seemed
in his usual good health and spirits, so that
his friends, and probably he himself, had not
moments warning of his approaching
death. This sad event has produced in this
immediate community, and among large
circle of friends, a feeling Of general and
heartfelt sorrow-and it would seem fitting
in this connection to make brief record Of
the leading events Of his life.
James Anderson was born in Erie county,
Pennsy ylvania, in the month of August A. d.
1922, and was forty-four years old at the
time of his death. At about the age of
seventeen years he removed to the State Of
Kentucky, where he studied law and was ad.
mltted to practice as an Attorney and Coun
selor in May, 1843; some time after, and
before the opening of the Mexican war, he
removed to the State of Tennessee, where,
in the year l846, he enlisted in the United
States Volunteer service, and with the first
troops raised in that State he went to Mexico
and served out his term Of enlistment, as
non-commissioued officer; and was on his
return in ls47, commissioned by the Presi-
dent as End Lieutenant in the United States
service, and again went to Mexico, and re.
lnained in that capacity in the service until
about one year after the close of hostillies
when leaving the service, he removed to Rio
Grande City, in the State of Texas, and
again engaged in the practice Of the LAW, at
which he continued until he removed to this
State in the Spring Of 1850. On his arrival
in San Francisco, by the way of Mexico, and
on sail vessel from Mazatlan, be took up
bis residence in the city Of Stockton, and
again engaged in his profession. He was,
shortly after his arrival, appointed District
Attorney of San Joaquin county, and dis.
charged the duties of that office until the
fall Of 1851.
Mr.. Anderson removed TO Placer county in
the summer or fall of 1852, since which time
he has chiefly resided in the county engaged
in the practice Of his profession. In 1857,
he was elected by the people Of Placer coun.
ty to the State Senate, to the fill the unex-
pired term Of Hon. Joseph Walkup, and at.
ter the completion Of this term was again
The Placer herald., 1866-10-13

elected to the Senate for the ensuing fall
term which be filled with ability.
He continued in the practice Of his pro-
fession in this county until about December,
1868, when lie removed TO the Territory Of
Arizona, residing chiefly at Prescott, the
capital town Of the Territory, where he re-
maned until his return TO this State and
county, few months since, and had recent>
ly taken up his permanent residence here,
where his death occurred.
The life Of the deceased has been an event.
ful one. lie was the carver of his own for
essentially sef'made man. Few
men had greater occasion or need Of self
reliance; and all who knew him will bear
cheerful and truthful testimony, that
in all the communities in which he has re-
sded-in every station he has occupied in
the public military and civil service-and
in his professional carecr-he was justly dis.
tinguished for his ability and assiduity; but
more than all: fer strict integrity Of pur'
pose and an unfaling fidelity in the perfor-
nance of every duty, and the execution Of
every trust imposed upon or assumed by
him, that knew no flstterng, and in which
none were ever found, whether Trend or Toe,
to call his character in question. In all the
private walks of life he was remarkable for
his geniality of disposition and strong com
mon sense. AS humorst, lie had few
equals on the Pacific coast, as his numerous
contributions TO the public press, from time
10 time, under divers non dc plumes, will
amply attest.
lie enjoyed the unlimited confidence of a
large circle Of friends who knew but to love
him, to whom be was ever welcome, not
only as boon companion but for his strong,
earnest sense and sound judgments; and for
his ever faithful and useltish friendship.
But he has gone, and gone suddenly with
out warning TO him or his friends who mourn
his loss; ii is, however, most gratifying TO
them TO know that he leaves an unsulied
reputation and spotless name-ever to be
cherished in their remembrance.

DEATH OF JAMES ANDERSON.

1t is with no ordinary feelings Of sorrow
that we bave 10 announce this painful fact.
Mr.. Anderson visited our office yesterday
morning, about 0 o'clock, as was sometimes
his custom, for the purpose of reading our
morning exchanges. He entered as usual,
with his pleasant saula;ion and smile; lit
his pipe, and sat down to read, within a
few moments he fell back in his chair
speechless, and shortly afterwards breathed
bis last. Thus passed quietly away his spirit
to that "bourne from whence no traveller
returns" We knew James Anderson we'll.
In fact, to us be was like a brother. We
were associated with him in the publication
Of the Herald from January, 1856 to April
1857, and more high-minded and honor
able gentlemen we never knew. "True as
STEEL 10 his friends, and even generous and
forgiving to bis enemies-he passed through
life respected by all who ever knew him.
1t seems to us like a dream that he is
gone. But few sort hours ago he was by
our side, healthy, vigorous man, now moth
ing remains Of him but the cold clay which
enshrouded his noble spirit. Truly, "thou
hast all Seasons for thine own, oil! death" !"
May the clods rest lightly upon his bosom,
and may bis memory live green forever in
the recollection of those who knew and
loved him best.

UoME. SWEET HOME One fine evening in
the month of July, 1864, while the Union
army under Grant, and the Confederate army
under Lee, were lying in and around Peters
burg, and the bands of both armies were play
ing heir tavorie airs, Hail Columbia aud the
Star Spanged Barner would be answered by
cheers from the Unions and shouts of deris
ion from the Confederates. Dixie" and the
"Bonne Blue Flag" would raise the enthu.
siasm Of the Soulherners and the delision of
the Yankees. Suddenly one Of the bands
stationed at the Federal Corps Headquarters
commenced playing "IIcme, Sweet Home "
In an Instant all discord was bushed; band
after band Of both armies took up the strain.
Cleer after Cheer rang out along the whcle
line. Al party animosi'y was, for the mo
ment, buried, and friend and foe Joined in
applauding that beautiful and truthful air,
showing that the sentiment brea,hed in that
song found an echo in every heart Home,

REVENUE ON FERMENTED LIQUORS. Under
a la'e act Of Congress the mode of collectir q
revenue on fermened liquors is entirely
changed. The subject is one of great
importance TO brewers and dealers in liquors
of this class. The following circular receiv'
ed at the Revenue Office in this city from
Washington gives specific derections which
brewers will henceforth be required to follow:
Treasury Department, Office Of Internal Rev
enue, Washington, August II, ls66,-By
Section 81 of the Act of July l3, 1866, it is
provided that after the first day ofSepember
1866, any fermented liquor owned or
possessed by any person after its sale or
removal from the brewery or warehouse, or
other place where it was made, upon which
the required tax shall not have been paid
shall be liable to forfeiture. Furthermore,
the want Of the proper stamp upon tho vessel
or sale, is 10 be notice to all persons, and
pima facie evidence, that the required tax
has not been paid. These provisions make
it necessary that the stamps should be well
secured 10 the vessels, and not easily re-
moved therefrom, except by Intentional eff
fort 10 that purpose The following method
of aflising is therefore prescribed: A hole
two and tLree-quarler inches in diameter
and one'eiglth inch deep, should be coun
tersunk in the head Of the barrel, in such
position as will bring the sIigot at the low,
er edge of the the stamp where the perfora
tions are made. The stamp is to be pasted
in this couutersunk hole, with the perforated
portion over the spigot hole, with strong
paste; and if the barrels are to be exposed
to the action Of the weather, or to be stored
in damp places for considerable periods, the
stamp should be secured by four lscks ,c
prevent lis peeling off. In renewing The
stamp upon a barrel used the second time
the tacks should be Withdrawn and the
stamps carefully scraped off TO prevent The
hole from being filed with the scraps o
former stamps. The stamps, a, the time o
being affixed, are TO be Cancelled by wri Ing
or imprin,ing thereon the name Of the per
son, firm or corporation by whom suct
liquor may have been made, or the initia
letters of such name, and tho date of suol
cancellation" Signed: Thomas IIarland
