The California vine growers are aroused
and somewhat excited over the possible
danger of a commercial treaty with France
by which the duty on the wines of that
country will be reduced. The suggestion
that French brandy shall come in at one
dollar per gallon strikes them very unfa-
vorably while they are called upon to pay
ninety cents excise tax on their own pro-
duct. This is said to be u critical period
in the era of vine.growing on the Pacific
coast. Those engaged in it claim that
their product is now winning, by its own
merits, general appreciation in the mar
kets of the country, and they expect that
in half dozen years the yield of wine will
have increased from ten millions to thirty
millions of gallons, if no damage is now
done their industry by such measures as
the proposed treaty.

The shooting of oyster dredgers by the
State police is getting to be altogether too
frequent. If the dredgers are engaged in Vi
olating the law, that is no excuse for muir
dering them. The commanders of the oyster
police boats seem to imagine that they have
perfect liberty TO shoot all the oystermeu
whom they have reason to suspect are engaged
in illici: dredging.
An entertainment at the Trocadero Palace,
Paris, for the benefit of the yellow fever suf-
ferers, took place on Wednesday. 1t was the
result of brief correspondence between Com
missioner Gen. Krantz and Z. s. Commits
sioner Mccormick Paris and American
visitors to that city have already contributed
twelve thousand dollars to the yellow fever
fund.
The awards to the American exhibitions at
Paris will number $50, and comprise 10 grand
prizes, 30 diplomas OF honor, 1874 gold med
ais, POO silver medals, 220 bronze medals
and 256 honorable mentions. The aggregate
is larger than the whole number of exhibits
from the United States in 1876.
The Constitutional Convention Of Califor-
MIA have adopted resolution asking the

IN MEMoRIAM.

MEssEs. EDITORS Learning that some of
the readers of the Advocate have misunder-
stood the spirit in which the article appearing
IN your last week issue, under the above IL
tie was written, have deemed it Just to say
to them that we diselaim any intention or de-
sire whatever 10 reflect uponthe friend whose
name and life were conspicuous in the article
All that was aimed at was a humorous
statement OF facts appearing in the life Of the
party named, and facts which in no way what
ever are derogatOry from the character of our
personal friend, Mr.. S.
That he has been more fortunate than some
oil his acquaintance in wooing and winning
and possessing himself of one of Ewes fair
daughters, Is a matter of great congratulations
and we so congratulate him. But while this
Is done, and he is wished all JOY, and a long
lie IN ITS experience, his loss IS sensibly felt
at the church referred to where he presided
with such skill and satisfaction to the congre-
CATION, at the organ. His solos, and also
DUETS IN which he took prominent part, were
conducive to the worship, and highly appre-
Grated and greatly enjoyed by the worshippers
Ihese viii be missed by the people, since his
occupancy of his new home removes him too
lar from the temple on Sabbaths.
! lbs teaching of the public and singing
schools to which reference was made. was a
/ TACT highly appreciated by those who received
ms instructions, for he was as truly successful
as man could will be in these depart
ments, and the mention of it was designed as
Just compliment to a worthy gentleman.
The children's serenade at the school house
was humorous expression of the esteem in
/ which he was held as their teacher. Had
they cared nothing for him, had they been
indifferent to his wishes, and thoughtless OF
his good and pleasure, they would never have
gone to the trouble of carrying bells, whistles
and horn to entertain him. That he APP
! preclated this little demonstration, was clear
iy to be seen by his hearty laugh during the
I noisy music. The undersigned witnessed the
scene and enjoyed it with him.
Far from any spirit of ridicule or burlesaue
were the facts noticed in the article. Such
an idea was most foreign to us.
The whole article was designed as humor-
GUS setting forth of facts, ''only this and moth
ing more, and that any of your readers should
have misinterpreted the spirit in which they
were given. or in any way misapplied the
composition, is q matter of much regret 10
/ the writer, who has ever had, and always ex-
poets TO have, the most kind and christian
feeling towards the parties concerned.
Thanking you Mr.. Editor, for the space
occupied by these lines. | am yours very
truly and ANXIOUS AID VRUM.

80 IhE HANOVER FIRE.-The Citizen saws -
Inc largest contiagration that ever occurred
IN hanover took place last Sunday morning
about G. clock. Shortly after the hour in.
dlcated, the cry Of Fire r. resonnded tbropoh
the town awakening many from their Stun.
oers- II was aseertained that the fire was on
the alley IN the rear Of York street. The ex-
tensiye stables connected with the Franklin
House, the barn Of Augustus Spangler, the
slaughter, mousse OF Slime d Naile, the barns
OF VIM. Overbaugh, Mrs. III. Hensuer. John
X. Slime and j. s. Sprenkle were epyeloned
N lanes, and the fiery tongues were RAPIDLY
licking the roofs Of the L. B. Church and the
three-story stOre-room of A. Baker. on All
bottstoWn street. In the rear Of A. Baker :
store, stood a one and a-half story frame
building, which at the time, was used as n
warehouse, and contained !, 1000 lbs. of sugar.
q lot OF stoneware, salt, fish, besides n lot al
other goods This building, with all its CON
tents, was soon prey to the flames, which
soon communicated themselves to the stable
adjoining. Fortunately, Mr.. Charles Hamm
succeeded IN getting his horse out of this
stable, which had he no sooner done than the
whole stable was in blaze. The corniee
and window frames of A. Bakers store were
on fire, and had it not been for the tin roof
on the building his store and dwelling would
have been consumed The e. b. Church
was destroyed, nothing remaining but the
! blaekened brick walls.
The most heart-rending sight during the
/ fire was the sight of horse, belonging TO Mr..
A. Naile, coming out OF the stable with name
and tail ablaze. With pitiful whine he ran
into the alley near the stable, where he drop
/ ped dead. Another horse belonging 10 Mr..
/ ID. Slime was also burned, as were also one
steer and nineteen shOats. The squealing of
I the pigs, as they ran hither and thither in the
burning pen, could be heard q great distance.
/ The losses by the fire are as follows :-Au.
/ gustus Spangler, $500; j. II. Walter, 81 500:
Slime 4 Naille, 81, 100; VIM. 0yerbaugh, $500
Mrs. II. Heusner, $500; j. r. Slime, $500; J.
/ 5. Sprenkle, $500; U. b. Church, $1,000,
4 Baker & Hamm, $4,000. The latter has an
/ insurance of 1915. Fortunately, the wind
was calm at the time. Had it not been. nc
one knows how long the fire would have
ragged. 1t is not known how the fire origina-
ted, but is supposed to be the work of an in.
ceudiary.
/ During The fire, Mr.. William Newman as
cended the roof Of the U. b. Church. The
flames spread so rapidly, that Mr.. n. was
compelled TO jump from the roof to the ground
TO save his life. In doing so he broke hi.
/ left thigh bone. He was at once carried &c
1 his home, on York street, where Drs Kaci
and 4. 4. Buchen rendered the necessary
1 surgical aid.
