The Blood OF the Martyrs is the seed of the
Church.,


The Fenian agitation ha. reached tempo
rary elimination in the execution of Allen
Larkin and Gould, at Manchester. by the
British Government. But a cause so Just as
that OF the friends Of Irish liberty cannot be
crushed out or destroyed by the sacrifice of
the lives of few of its devotees. On the
contrary, it will rise stronger than before.
and the execution of these Fenian prisoners
VIII only serve to intensity the Irish dream of
independence. The remark that 4" he blood
OF the martyrs is the seed Of the church" has
passed into proverb, the truth of which will
yet be e1emplifed in the cause of Irish indie
pendence. The race to which valor and
patriotism has descended as a lineal heritate
cannot be frightened from the pursuit of
great purpose by such spectacle as the exc
cution of few unfortunate adberents of the
cause which lays nearest the heart Of every
native of the Green Isle The race which has
heroically borne the weight and affliction Of
British oppression for long series of years,
ultimately achieving freedom and civil liber
ty, mast, in the very ordainments of justice,
finally triumph over the oppressor. When
Allen, Larkin and Gould were executed, no
shout Of defiance went up against their execu
toners, for the simple reason that British
bayonet,, in the hands of British soldiers,
were ready to pierce the bodies of any who
should protest against the DEGREES of the
British courts; but thousands of Irishmen
and friends of political freedom in all parts
Of the civilized world, did protest against
their execution as being unjust and in viola
tion of all principles of humanity The two
following resolutions, adopted by mass
meeting at Sacramento, which Was attended
by many Of the most distinguished citizens
of the State, shows the spirit which animates
the hearts of the people of California on the
subject of the execution of the Manchester
prisoners
Resolved, That we, in the name of civiliza-
ton and humanity, protest against the act Of
the English Government in executing Allen,
Larkin and Gould, for offenses purely politi-
cal, and hold that it is ever the right of an
oppressed people to take up arms and make
war upon their oppressors and if they fail
in their appeal TO arms, that humanity die
tates and the enlightened civilization of the
world dema nds that the victors should not
infict the death penalty on the vanquished.
Resolved, That the people of California
deeply sympathize with the Irish people in
their struggle for independence, and will
hail with delight the day that herads forth
to the world their emancipation from English
thraIdom and the establishment of Irish
nationality.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT
Hubbard A. Sublette, farmer, living
three miles east of Yacayille, met with
most singular and fatal accident on Thanks
giving day. lie was dressing hog, which
was hanging up by the hind legs. and In
making a stroke with a knife, to sever the
brisket bone, the knife glanced and entered
his thigh severing the main artery, from
which wound he bled to death in about
twenty minutes, there being no sklllful sur
gcal aid at hand
Mr.. Sublette was one of the early settlers
of this county. In company with an elder
brother he located in the vicinity where he
died, about fourteen years age. lie was
quite poor at first, but by industry and
energy he had accumulated a handsome
property. Though fortunate in this respect,
in others he was quite the reverse re-
markable series OF misfortunes seeming to
attend him, the last cutting him off in the
prime of manhood, unwarned. His life was
marred by a chapter of serious accidents
wonderful to relate The first. we remember,
was his being blown up on the steamer
Pearl, on the Sacramento river, in 1886. He
was thrown about an hundred yards, landing
in the water, from which he was timely res
cued with but slight injuries. a year or so
afterward he was run over by a loaded
wagon, when several of his ribs we're broken.
Still later. he was thrown from a wagon
loaded with sheaves of grain, and in his de-
scent he fell upon an upright pitehtork, the
tines running entirely through his body
He was several times thrown from wild
horses once breaking his arm, and at
other times receiving lesser injuries. During
the Frazer river excitement, while on his
way to the mines, in lassooing mule. the
rope caught around his hand. and took OF
two of his fingers. Subsequently, on trip
to Washoe. be was shot by highwayman,
and robbed of several hundred dollars. And
now. after all these miraculous escapes, we
are called upon to chronicle his unfortunate
death in the manner described. Mr. Sub
lette was about 80 years of age, and was a
kind hearted, uffable, and estimable young
man. lie leaves a wife aud one child, and
a host of sincere friends to mourn his untlme-
ly end.-SOlano Press.

Distressing stage Accident.

A distressing accident occurred at Coffee
Creek. six miles above Trinity Centre, on
Sunday evening last, by which passenger
wagon was carried down stream, the
express and portion of the mail lost,
and passenger-Dr. Hamilton-and four
horses were drowned Coffee Creek, during
the rainy season, is rapid and turbulent
stream, and warm rain having fallen dur
ing Saturday night and Sunday, caused the
ST ow at the head of the creek to suddenly
melt, thereby increasing the volume of water
10 the dimensions Of a river The stage
road crosses the creek about three-uuarters of
a mile above its junction with the Trinity
river, and at that point the creek is -panned
BY bridge. 4 short distance beyond the
bridge the road crosses q slot Oh, which
ordinarily contains but little water On
Sunday evening the upward bound stage
ofthe California and Oregon Stage Company
driven by Martin, and carrying he mails,
express and four passengers-Dr. Hamilton,
c. III. Sammis, and two Chinamen-crossed
the bridge about 6l o'clock, and coming to
the slough, halted his team and examined
the crossing as well as the darkness and fast
falling rain would permit, and although the
wafer appeared to be pretty high, and run
ming with swift current, be thought be
could cross without danger, as his team was
composed of large and powerful horses. lie
accordingly started his team into the ford,
but by the time the hind wheels of the wagon
had touched the water, all four of the horses
were foundering in the current BY desper-
ate struggling the leaders gained a temporary
foothod in the shallow water on the opposite
bank. and for moment strained every nerve
to pull the load ashore but the current
sweeping against the drifting wagon and
plunging wheelers proved too strong, and the
whole concern was carried down stream
Sammis and the two Cinnamon saved them
selves by jumping out of the hind part of tho
wagon before it commenced drifting down
stream. The driver kept his seat until he
bdW lIlSfb was no lou8tl my pOSoipiASJ v
saving the stage, when he jumped into the
water and gained the bank in such state
of exhaustion that it took him nearly all
night to walk to a house four miles distant
from the scene eff the accident, DR.. Hamilton
is supposed to have either jumped or been
washed off the wagon after it commenced
driftinr down +he current
On the following morning parties residing
in the neghborhood visited the scene of the
catastrophe and found the horses and
stage lodged in drift about half
a mile below the ford. The body of DR..
Hamilton was found in Trinity river, about
three miles below the mouth of Coffee Greek.
His coat was found near the ford, showing
that he had pulled off the garment be-
fore being washed from the stage. DR..
Hamilton was well known to this community,
and enjoyed the reputation of being one of
the most skillful dentists in the State. The
Express box contained about three thousand
dollars, and has not been yet recovered.

Insurance..

We have observed for some months past
the growing alarm among the fire insurance
companies Of San Francisco, caused bv
numerous conflagrations in that city, many
of which can be directly traced to incen.
diarism. In all large cities there are aban-
doned villains who, for motives Of revenge or
punder, will commit the crime Of arson !:
but the report would show that in the Bay
CITY, and we fear, in many of the towns of
the interior, inducements other than the
baser motives we have mentioned, are held
out we allude to the strong temptation
caused by oy reinsurance.
If the disastrous results were confined
alone to the company or companies thus
violating one of the first principles of under
writing. viz : leaving margin at risk f the
insured, the community might look on with
eompacency unfortunately, however, all
companies, and those who insure with them,
as well as the community at large, are di
rectlv interested. 1t is well understood that
majority of the Fire Insurance companies
in operation in California have their field
confined to San Francisco; the low rates have
caused them to greatly extend their line of
risks, until everything combustible in that
City is covered by them to the amount of
millions What the effect of a sweeping fire
would be, can easily be seen. We are no
alarmist; but the Reports of the Fire Mar
shals of San Francisco indicate the demoral
lied condition of the business in that city,
and the terrible disaster which is impen ling.
The better class of local companies seem ce-
sirous Of correcting the evil, and 1t Is to be
hoped their efforts may be successful.
Meanwhile. however, they find tho choiceT
| &c b,ir frAr
into the hands of companies whose field is
not confined to the Pacific Coast; but which,
like the veteran IEtna and Phoenix Compa'
MES of the City of Hartford, draw their
resources from all parts of the country.
These companies have their cash assets t.
the amount of over Six Millions invested in
the best paying bonds and other securities
in TIE United States; readily available a
call and are not, as is the case with oul
| California Companies, invested in mortgage
upon property in San Francisco, which
would be DESTROYED by the same coufagratior
which matured the claims for losses. The
wisdom of those who seek the protection o
the Companies referred to is therefore mani
fest. and commends itself strongly to tht
insuring public Of other portions Of the State
-Marip0sa Nais
The dwelling house of A. Levy, at French
Gulch in this county, was recently destroyed
by fire. 1t was insured in the Phoenix, anC
the insurance was promptly paid by Felil
Tracy, Esq, resident agent of the company
in this place, without trouble or expense tt
Mr.. Levy. Such promptness in settling
4 ,osses speaks well for the company, and vii
tend to increase its popularity.

WAGON MAKING.-The shop of Samuel
Richards is now crowded with new wagons
and other vehicles, all of which are about
completed and ready for the painter Among
the list we notice five thorough brace wagons
of various sizes, three two-hcrse wagons, one
light spring wagon and one top buggy
Richards is certainly the most enterprising
mechanic in the county, and we hope his
pecuniary success may be commensurate
with his enterprise.

HANDY SMALL Times. .'-Common cut
nails are too brittle for repairing implements,
or for other similar purposes. Buy only the
best and anneal them, all that is necessary Is
to heat them red hot in a common fire, and
cool gradually. Let them cool, for instance.
by remaining in the fire while it burns down
and goes out. One such nail, well clinched,
will be worth half a dozen unannealed.-
Every farmer should keep on hand a supply
of copper wire, and small pieces of sheet
copper, or copper straps. Copper wire Is
better than annealed iron wire; it is almost
as flexible as twine, and may be bent and
twisted as desired and 1t will not rust
Copper straps nailed across or around frac.
ture or split in any wooden article, will
strengthen it in a thorough manner.-RWot

NIAGARA EcLIPsED An astonished tour
ist writes to the Frontier Index, from the
curious district surrounding the Yellowstone
Lake of Montana:
Near the outskirts of this monstrous local
ity there is a lake on the top of the mouu-
tain that is yet frozen over, the ice and snow
covering its surface some twenty feet deep.
Two main forks of the Yellowstone one lead
ing opposite Wind and Green rivers and the
other opposite Henry's Fork of Snake river,
in the same vicinity that the Madison aud
Gallatin rise, empty into the big lake, which
has for its outlet the Yellowstone river, and
lust below the lake the whole river falls
over the face of the mountain thousands :
feet. the spray rising several hundred. -
pebble was timed by watch in dropping
from an overhanging crag of one pcrpindic-
ular fall, and is SAID to have required eleven
and half seconds to strike the surface of
the river below. That beats Niagara Falls
all hollow" The river at these greatest
falls is represented to be half as large as the
Missouri at Omaha, and as clear as crystal.
The great lake, like all others in the noun
tains, is thick with salmon trout. of from five
to forty pounds weight, and where the milky
boiling mineral waters from the geysers in
termingle with the pure clear water from the
running streams, these elegant fish can be
g forked'' up by the boat load.

South Fork at present. The recent rains

in clearing away the debris. Only few

they are not troubling themselves about any
