THE REASON Why Y-Governor Stanford
in his recent speach to the railroad employ
ces at Sacramento, stated that the Company
were compellc to temporarily suspend the
work Of extending their lines on account
OF the depreciation of their bonds and cred
it, caused by the hostility # certain news
papers and politicians. The Governor says
that the Company had the surveys, maps,
engineers reports and estimates of the work
to be done in 1873 o. 6le. but the work
was delayed for the reason stated. He
mentioned that part Of the work laid out
for 1873, was the entension Of the road
from Redding to point twenty three miles
up the Sacramento river. This declaration
settles the fact that when the road does 20
ahead, it will fellow the Sacramento river
route, and so our Yreka friends can rest
easy.

the State Prison, Booth, in "mercy to

IRoN-Mr. |. b Potter, in behalf of
the Iron Mining Company recently organ

Of the old Silverthorn Bridge on the Nc
Cloud river, in this County. He has pur-

lions Of tons OF good paying iron ore can
be taken from the surface OF the ground
claimed by the Company, and that the
expense Of taking it up from its orig

The iron Company have done work enough

them to hold the ground and apply for a

THE FIRE FIEND IN JAPAN.
From the Yokohama Mail. N

From the Yokohama Mail, May l0.l
The fires which occurred In Jeddo on sunday and
on Monday morning have given occasion to the
qudnuncs to offer theories to their origin. which
they ascrbe pretty generally to the action Of the
Satsuma party, known to be very strongly repre-
sentSd 1t present In the metropolis. the only
grounds upon which this superstition can reliably
rest are the nearly simultaneous occurrence OF 80
many OF these events and the burning OF the
Mikad0's castle. SO far as we can learn, however,
the fires at Hongo and Woyen0, and subsequently
that at the hospital, are explainable by very In
teligiblc causes, and there seems every reason to
attribute the fire In the castle to an accident.
We regret TO learn that fire broke out in the
grand stand and stabling at the race course at
twelve O'Clock last night, and that the entire range
OF buildings including the auxiliary grand stand,
has been burnt to the ground. The only house that
escaped was that belonging to the momban The
committee is at present engaged In investigating
the occurrence. 1t will, most probably be dis
covered to be the work OF an incendiary, and the
momban states that he saw man running away
on the outbreak OF fire. It would seem that the
painters had been employed during the day, but as
they did not smoke, no suspicious attach in that
quarter. The accommodation for visitors, ana
stabllng for the horses being thus destroyed we
fear that much inconvenience will be occasoned to
the race committee.

All the visitors having been seated the Rev. DR..

an eloquent discourse on the subject therein
alluded TO. He did not dwell at any length on the
private or public virtues OF the deceased, for, ne
said, most OF those whom he was addressing knew
Horace f. Clark better than he had known him.
But Ii was impossible that the death OF such man,
one who occupied so important q position
in the business and commercial world,
should not leave void among his friends.
The lesson he would draw from the bier that
was before them was personal preparation for
death. DR. Adams, In the course OF his remarks,
referred to the manner In which the Saviour SYM
pathiZed with the aiction which death brought and
used the Saviour's words TO show how we should

say could he now utter it-and 1t was this
Look to higher objects than constant worldly
honors, for they fade away WATCH watch, and be

After the sermon DR.. Adams gave beautiful and
most affecting prayer, calling upon God to assauge
the widows griei, TO protect her children and
grandchildren and to bless them and all the family.
He also prayed for Commodore Vanderbilt, 1.-THE
patriarch OF the house, and tor all the relatives
and friends OF the family and for those VINO had
been engaged In business with the deceased.
The choir then sung the 149th hymn, Crock OF
Ages, after which the benedcton was given. No
invitation having been extended Tor the taking OF
a last look at the face OF the remains, the conin
was at once borne to the hearse, and the carriages
having been soon filed the cortege proceeded 10

in readiness to convey the mourners to W0odlawn
Cemetery, the place OF interment The former
private car OF deceased was heavily draped in
mourning for the journey and was occupied by the
immediate relatives OF the family.
