ANOTHER PIONEER GosE.-Major Pearson

ANOTHER PIONEER GoSE.-Major Pearson B.
Reading, a native of New Jersey, aud ffty-fonr
years of age, died at his residence in Shasta
county on the 29th of May. Referring to his
career as a Californian, the San Francisco Bulle-
tin says -" Major Reading had been a resident
of California nearly quarter of century, and
has been identified with the settlement and cul-
tivation of the upper Sacramento country, where
he owned and improved one of the finest ranches
IN the State. He came here first as hunter
and trapper, and IL that capacity left Suffers
Fort, the present site of Sacramento, in the
spring of lS45, with thirty men, TO trap for otter
and beaver alcrg the streams of the district now
known as Trinity county. This party was prob
ably the first band of white who ever ex-
splerea that rugged region. The principal stream
they encountered was given the name of Trinity,
which it has ever since bore, in the belief that
it emptied into Trinidad Bay, as laid down in
the old Spanish charts. Beaver and otter were
quite plentiful on the Trinity streams, and along
the headwaters of the Sacramento as late as
1880 and some of the old Canadian trappers
sought them even so recently as 1851. Reading
returned to the Trinity when gold was discov-
cred in l84S, with party of sixty Indians,
whom, like nearly all the old ranchefos then in
the State, he employed to help him in mining
This party not only extracted gold in the river
banks, but they found it in the gulches and
creeks in the vicinity Of the present town of
Shasta, which locality was long known as Read
ing's Springs, and was the scene of one of the
principal mining rushes in the summer of 1919.
Since 1850 Major Reading has resided on his
ranch on the upper Sacramento, and has been
known to thousands by his urbane and hospita-
BILE manners. He had some prominence as a
member of the Wing party at one time, ard We
think was several times nominated for Office,
though not oflice-seeker. In 1851 he was the
Wing candidate for Governor, against John Big
Ter, and thousands of old Wings still assert that
he elected, and only prevented from taking
the office by the sharp practice of throwing out
the vote of precinct near the Oregon line, on
the pretense that it was in Oregon, although the
same vote was afterwards admitted to decide the
seat of a Democratic Assembyman. After the
war began his Southern prociyities led him into
the Democratic party. He was man of gentle
manly and honorable traits and useful lfe"

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATION. -
The Odd Fellows celebration at Mt.
Vernon, last Monday, was an exceed
ingly pleasant affair. There were but
few visiting members Of the Order
present, but the Order in that city
turned out in force; aud headed by
the Crescent City Silver Band, which
d]iseoursed delightful music, marched
through the principal streets in re
gala, and then repaired to the Ger
man Methodist Church, where an in
.teresting discourse on the subject of
the Anniversary was delivered by Dr..
Connington, which was listened to
with deep interest on the part of the
Brotherhood, aud all IN attendance.
The Church was filled with members
of the Order and spectators. The
members of the Crescent City Silver
Band speak 10 high terms of praise
of the manner IN which they were re-
ceived and entertained while in Mt.
Vernon. The people of that neat and
quiet little city have a reputation fer
doing things up just right, The
Order in that city, we are glad to say,
is in a Furnishing condition.

dividual yelled as if for dear life, and
forthwith all the people in the Court
room rushed out to learn what was
the matter. The Courtroom was
well filed, aud for a few moments the
scene was most intensely exciting.
until the fact was asceftained that no
murder was being committed, when
the Court resumed business and pro-

REPORT THE Truth The Courier,
in making its report Of the meeting at
the Court-H House for the organization
Of the Grant Club on Monday night,
terms it "a grand Ezzle, and stated.
that there were only one hundred
people present. The facts are that,
although there was no outside effort
to draw up a crowd, and it was only
designed to be a business meeting, the
Court Room was c'0rded, and 1Bs047g
tC0 hundred persons in The audience
came forward and signed their names
to the Club roll. The meeting was
spirited and enthusiastic, and was
highly satisfactory to Republicans
There are occasions when the Cat
rier would desire TO nave its reports
accepted as something near The truth.
and to do so, it would be well to pay
some regard to the FAcTs. Possibly

certed the editor.

THE OPERA.-OWIng tothe inclem-
ent weather. the attendance at the
Opera at Turner Hall last night was
not as large as we would have liked
to have seen. TIE performance was
all that could be expected ia every
particular. Any description we might
attempt to give, would not convey
anything like a correct idea Of the
great Opera. To be appreciated it
must be seen. The various members
of the L~iederkranz Society acquitted
themselves with great credit. Unjust
be remembered that the Opera. Gear
and Carpenter" is one of the most
difficult to render, aud that the mem
bers Of the Society have spent nearly
a year in preparation for its ~presenta-
ton. To have accomplished this,
aud to have presented the Opera in
such magnificent style as it was last
night, entities the members of the
Society, individually and collectively,
to the highest encomiums Of praise,
but with all their hard labor, of
course, the presentation of this grand
Opera could not have taken place
without the cooperation of another
musical society. The Evansville Or
chestra most uuquestionably pro-
duced some of the finest music we
have ever heard in Evansville, or else
where, and 20 them much. indeed, IS
due for the successful presentation of
the Opera. Those of cur citizens
who have not attended should do 50.
tonight, if they wish to listen to fue
music. It is due both Socities that.

to see the house crowded tonight.

WoMAN's AMBrTIoN.-Womau, it is as
serted, does not always succeed in acquir-
Ing perfect knowledge of the handicraft
she commences to learn because she is con-
scious that at some future time she may be
diverted from her trade to take charge of a
household of her own. The different aims
of the male and female arti.ans are graph
ically described in Ha,per's Basar by
wood engraver, who had endeavered to in
struct females in the higher branches of his
art. The engraver says: When a young
man comes to me and begins his work, he
feels that it is his life's business. He is to
cut his future out of the little blocks before
him. Wife, family, home, happiness, are
all to be carved by his hand, and he
settles steadily and earnestly to his labor,
determined to master it, and with every in
element spurring him on. He cannot
marry until he knows his trade. 1t is ex-
actly the other way with the girl. She
may be as poor as the youth, and as wholly
dependent upon her labor for living. But
she feels that she will probably be married
by-and-by, and then she must give up
wood engraving. So she goes on listlessly .
she has no ambition to excel; she does not
feel that her happiness depends upon it.
She will marry. and then her husbands
wages will support her. She may not say
so, but she thinks so, and it spoils her
work."
