FIRE AT SNELLING.-A destructive fire DC.
Cured at Smelling, on Saturday last. II
broke out in the dwelling of Geo. Halstead,
Jr., which was entirely consumed. The
blacksmith shop of Halstead & Shafer, wag-
on shop of N. Breen, carpenter and pain,
shop of Anthony Meeny, were all destroyed
with their contents. Wagons and farming
tools belonging to A. B. Anderson, valued
at 5000, were also burned. Total loss esti-
mated at $4,000 N. Breen had an insur-
ance of 81 900 on his shop, which was the
only insurance on the property destroyed.
AT the time the fire started in Halstead S
house the occupants were his three children
in charge of young girl named Belle Mann,
fourteen years of age. They were all asleep
when Belle was wakened by the noise of the
flames that were all around her. She threw
one of the children through window and
carried the others out before assistance could
reach her. The face of one of the children
was burned to blister and for a time it was
feared its eyes were destroyed. Miss Mann
was badly burned in the back and is suffer-
ing severely from her injury. Her heroism
has been recognized by the citizens of Smell
ling, who had made up and presented her
with $3.50.

quently called into requisition. She often
finds her slightest occupation a weary task
and existence a burden, while at the same
time she he's no regular disease. Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, if resorted to at this period,
will prove an unfailing remedy for this an
moving lassitude. The effects of this potent
agent are soon seen in the rosy cheek and
elastic step of the head of the family, as with
restored health and renewed spirits she takes
her accustomed place in the family circle.
If this friend in need be regularly used,
those depressing symptoms will never be
complained of, and not only would lassitude
not be experienced, but many diseases follow,
ing its advent be avoided. As medical
sgent it has no equal. while its pleasing flavor
and healthful effects have made it q genera

In less than six weeks the people Of the
State will decide who shall be Governor, and
who shall gil the various State and county
Offices. If were not for the fact that the
statute prescribes and makes known the time
when the election shall take place, the people
of this county would hardly realize that they
are to be so soon called upon to choose their
rulers. In other counties the campaign is
being actively carried on, there is no reason
why the Democrats of Tuolumne should not
be up and doing. They have State ticket
which is of their choice and for which it is
their duty to work ard use all honorable
means that it may be elected. Thus far
there has not been to our knowledge single
Democratic speech made, not club organ
lied not one step taken to ensure success.
The strength of parties are so near equal that
it will require something besides apathy to
triumph over our opponents. 1t is now six
weeks since the county nominations were
made, half the time between nomination and
election passed and nothing done. The Re-
publican candidate for Senator is letting no
grass grow under bis feet, he is on the go all
the time and with the arguments furnished
by the Tuolumne Ring of Stockton will give
us hard fight. The Legislative portion of
the ticket is locked upon by the Republicans
as all important and nothing will be left I'M
done to secure its election. If Democrats
stand idly by and make no effort they will
deserve to be beat. No one questions that
our party has majority in the county, we
iealousies have caused US to be beaten in sew
eral instances. The nominations made this
year give as much satisfaction as usual, there
is no reason why they should not be support
ed by every Democrat, there should also be
an earnest wish to retrieve the disgracefulre-
suits of two years ago. We cannot too earn
estly urge the party to action, we cannot af-
ford to lose Senator and three members of
Assembly, but to save them something must
be done to rouse up our voters. Our nomin-
ees should go among the people. our Legisla-
let it generally be known what they will do
if elected. That the Democratic State ticket
will receive majority in this county there is
but little fear. 1t is of as much importance
to elect Democratic Legislature as it is to
have Democratic Governor. Tuclumne can
give her vote for both, if her Democracy will
but make the effort. There is no time to be
lost, every voter who feels an interest in the
welfare of his country and wishes to put q
stop to the organized corruption that exists
in official places throughout the land, who is
opposed to further Capitalization of power in
the government should from this time until
the election actively exert his influence for
the Democratic ticket which is in the inter
est of the people and opposed to all kinds Of
arstocratic combinations.

of vital Importance 10 settlers who live on the

ance which only can be rectifed by Legisla-
tive enactment; hence the desire Ct parties
to secure one member to the Assembly from
the lower end of the county. | have refe-
renee TO the fence law. When stock belong
ing to citizens of Tuolumne county, stray
within the limits of Stanislaus county, they
are taken up and sold, or an expense attached,
which is really annoying. On the other hand.
when the settlers of Stanislaus county return
with their loose stock in the Fall from the
rich pastures of our mountain region, they
are turned loose amongst our foot hills, to eat
up and destroy our patrimony, without any
means of selfdefense, for one county has a
fence law and another has not. This is
real grievance aud should be rectifed but
the question is, how is this to be done? We
cannot adopt the no fence law, where so many
make living by gardening and few head
of stock. Stanislaus has Tuolumne to send
her stock to, but where could we go for pro-
lection? propose the following, as secu-
rity against aggression, and protection to our
own interests, /" let the law stand as it is as
regards stock belonging to Tuolumne county,
but no fence law as against all belonging to
other counties" If citizens of Stanislaus
county think that the 6 no fence law" is the
best, surely they can have no objections to
Tuolumne county adopting the same rule as
far as they are concerned. speak from ex-
perience, when I say that the migrating

give us another crop of grass-outside of

liens meet in Convention at jamestown, let

TROUBLES IN AMADoR. During the week
there has been quite an excitement caused
by violence committed by some of the leaguers
at Suffer Creek. A dispatch from jackson,
on Tuesday, says:
"Last Sunday night, Hatch, bookkeeper
for the Amador Mine, was attacked by Hugh
ey McManemy and William Deneen, men,
bers of the Miners League and meeting.
On Sunday, in company with j. w. Bennett,
he came to Jackson and got out warrant
for the two League men, and on Mon
day they were brought before Justice Tur-
ner, of this place. Deneen pleaded guilty
to the charge of assault and battery. Nc
Manemy, who was charged with assault to
commit murder, had his case postponed until
to-day, and was permitted to go on his own
recognizance lie returned to Suffer, when
be met Bennett, where high words passed
between them. and Bennett slapped McMan-
emy's face McManemy drew pistol, and
Bennett drew one also. Both commenced
| firing. Hatch came out of the Office during
the firing, with pistol in his hand, and was
shot in the right breast, butno one knows by
whom. McManeny has two wounds in the
groin, supposed to be MORTAL Hatch is still
alive. Bennett is unhurt, and is now in this
place under protection of the Sheriff, for fear
of an attempt on the part of the Leaguers to
get hold of him."
1t is to be hoped that the civil authorities
of that county will be able to maintain order.
This last outrage appears to have been COM
mitted by few lawless men without the APP
prevail or sanction of the League. If those
men are determined to continue such a
course, making life and property depend upon
their will without justification, the people of
the State have right to expect the Governor
to send a force that will not temporize with
them, if the local authorities cannot main
tain order and protect property.
