For the vindicato-.
MY Apple Tree.

For the Vindicato-.
MY Apple Tree.
Sometimes when thinking of the past,
VI sorrow, grief and care,
vi youthful dreams of happiness,
Ut pleasures rich and rare,
MY mind reverts to childhood's years,
10 things then dear and fair,
10 objects then Of priceless worth,
And dwells profoundly there.
MY toys priced my sports were frapght g
With glee, where'er I'd go,
Yer fields, Ger hills of Christian Greek
Some twenty years ago.
But, 'mong the things then most prlzed'
Was that young Apple Tree,
My Father planted in the yard,
And kindly gave to me.
1t stood before the kitchen door,
With stakes placed close around
Its grated stock, to give the twlgs
Protection, near the ground.
I watched its growth from day to day,
With hopes from fear not free,
But trusted at some future time.
'Twould be handsome tree.
/ hoped its luscious fruit to share,
Enjoy its genial shade;
And for the care should bestOw
To amply be repaid.
Vain hopes I soon was forced to leave
The things SO dear to me,
To leave the homo on Christians Creek,
To leave my Apple Tree.
In various places since Pve dwelt
Nor since have seen the tree,
Nor homestead with i is objects fair,
Where oft | played in glee.
1, too, mid ever changing scenes,
Have roamed in distant lands;
But have not yet, forgot the tree,
Though left in others hands
While absent, since, no doubt it grew 9
To fair proportions, too,
And bore, each year, delicious fruit,
Of rich, and tempting hue.
For years, perhaps, in blooming Spring,
Or golden Autumn, bright,
1t, to its owners, thus, has proved,
An object Of delight.
O, tell me, does the tree still live,
To bud, and bloom, and bare,
Where twenty years ago it stood,
The object of my care?
Renal ms it yet, to cheer the sight,
Of those, who now live there?
And for their labor, does it yield,
Of fruit, an ample share?
Or has t he hand of some rude one,
Or work of insect, vile,
Or NATURES own resistless hand,
Destroyed the tree, meanwhile?
If it has shared this latter fate,
I should be glad to know,
What marks the spot, where it was placed
Just twenty years ago.

THE LABOR. REFORM NATIONAL
TICKET.

New YORK, April 22.-At a meeting
of the delegations to the Columbus Labor
Reform Convention, from New York, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecti-
cut, held this evening, resolutions were
adopted denouncing the vaciliating course
of the committee appointed to tender nomi-
nations to their candidates for President
and Vice President. 1t appears that the
Committee has not yet rendered the nomi
nation to Parker, who has been ready, upon
notification of the Committee, to present
his views at length. 1t is said that Parker
endorses the platform entire, and would
accept the nomination on condition that the
National Democratic Convention endorses
him The above mentioned delegations
refuse to send representatives to the meeting
of the National Executive Committee called
to meet in Cincinnati April 9th. They
claim that the whole action is sell, and
say they will not lend themselves to it, or
consider the action Of the Committee
binding. Letters were received from dele
cations from other States, and from Presid-
ents Of State Labor Unions, endorsing their
course Influential members of these
delegations privately express the opinion
that the whole Labor Reform movement,
so far as the National ticket is concerned,
should be quietly dropped. '"

IT's PRICE.-Congressman Coghlan re-
Gently remarked in the House that the Alta
could be bought cheaper than any other pa
per in the United States and thought sl4
would be required to secure its services
Conness once stated that the Call, under
its old management, could be bought for a
"pintof pea nuts" and it may be that Cogh-
Ian has over rated the Alta. The correct
ness of the figures stated would also proba
bly, depend somewhat on the briskness Of
competitor for the Old Grany's favor.
1t will be remembered that the Alta
advocated the division of the Shasta Land
District, and we don't believe Ayers o.
Marysville, or Ward of Susanville, evel
squandered more than S5 each en- the old
harlot.

SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING APRIL 27, 1872.
GOAT ISLAND f bill has been intro.

GOAT ISLAND 4 bill has been intro
duced into Congress proposing to lease
Goat Island, or portion of it, to the Rail-
road Company. This project has worked
'cp the Moneybags of the Metropolis who
fear that if the bill becomes law the
Railroad Company will endeavor to build
up a rival city, and the fear is probably we'll

CISCO Goat Island" is their constant
theme, the nightmare which Expresses them
night and day They have Goat Island"
for breakfast, dinner and supper, and also
for lunch. Old Granny Alta, the auc-
tioneer's handbill, which has circulation
outside of the city of probably five hundred
copies, thunders and groans against "Goat

chants follows in the same strain, and the
Call joins in the general howl Meantime
the sentiments of the interior generally is
----''let 'cm wiggle-we don't care if the
Railroad does win that fight" The fact is
the interior is hostile towards San Francisco
on account of the grab-all proclivites of the
majority of her business men, and their
parsimonious course in refusing to assist or
foster the development of our natural
resources.
The Shasta courier., 1872-04-27

RAILROAD ITEMs.-We understand
that the track has been laid and construc-
ton trains running several miles this side
of Fed Bluff, and that by the last of next
week work on certain deep cut will
be completed so as to enable tie workmen
to go ahead and lay the track to point at
or near Browns on Cottonwood. The
graders are within three miles of Cotton
wood and will be at that stream by the
time the track layers overtake them. A
force of one thousand men are engaged in
pushing the road ahead, and there is no
doubt but that the Gals will run to Canon
Bottom by the first of August, and some
of the railroad men say the trains will run
to that point by the Fourth of July. If
the road should be completed to Canon
Bottom by the first of August, four
mounths work can be put in on the line
above that point before winter sets in,
and it may be that the track will be push
ed to point near Shasta by the time the
heavy rains set in

POLL TAXES.

By the present Law the Assessor is made Col
lector of Poll Taxes and all persons liable to pay
such tax cited to the following provisions of
the law:
Sec. 1889. Every male inhabitant of this State
over 81 and under 60 years of age mot exempt by
law). must pay poll tax ofS2.
Sec. 3 $40. Poll-taxes must be collected by the
Assessor between the second Monday in January
and the second Monday of October in each year.
Sec. 1850. The amount of the poll tax, with so
per cent in addition thereto, constitutes from the
second Monday in October lien upon the other
property assessed to such person, and must be col
lected in the same manner and at the same time as
taxes upon his property are collected
Sec. 3,S4S. Every person indebted to one who
negects or refuses after demand, to pay poll tax,
becomes liable therefore, and must pay the same
for such other person after service upon him by
the Collector of notice in writing, stating the
name of such person.
See. 1850. Every person paying the poll tax
of another may deduct the same from any indebt-
edness to such other person.
Sec. 3,S46. The Assessor may collect the poll
tax from any person liable therefor by seizure and
sale of any personal property owned by such per-
son.

be paid into the School Fund of the county.
D. c. OSBURNE, Assessor.
April 8, 1879.
The Shasta courier., 1872-04-27

LICENsE.-The attention of all business
men in the county is called to the notice
of the Tax Collector in this issue. By the
new law all licenses 60 into the County
Treasury, and every taxpayer is interested
in having the law, Gin such cases made and
provided" strictly enforced. The new
law is more stringent in its provisions in
some respects than the old one, but the
Collector is compelled to enforce it, and all
persons engaged in business requiring
licenses should pay up promptly and save
that officer and themselves trouble. The
law in relation to taking ont licenses was
somewhat evaded in this County when a
portion of the licenses went to the State,
but that is "played out" now, and persons
doing any thing in any line of business
enumerated in the Collectors notice must
come up to the Captains office and settle
promptly hereafter.
The Shasta courier., 1872-04-27

ARREST AND EscAPE.-A few days ago
Sheriff Daniels, of Butte County, arrested,
at Cherokee, the man who escaped from
Tehama when Sheriff Hull went down to
arrest him for robbing Volentine's safe.
The Sheriff of Butte delivered the prisoner
over to Vickars of Red Bluff, who took
him aboard the train at Chico to bring
him up here. While the train was run
ming at the rate of twenty miles an hour
the prisoner jumped off, and up to last
account, has not been recaptured. While
in Butte he went part of the time under
the name Of Boyd. but at Cherokee he
called himself Charles Burch. He may be
an innocent man, but he lies, runs, and
Jumps like thief

Quoted at Red Bluff under the names of
