Ihe Democratic Senator From California

Hon. George Hearst, appointed sue
cessor of the late U. S. Senator Mil
Ter, of California, is one Of the veal
thiesJ residents of that State. He
went to that country in 1850 and be-
gan there as common laborer. He
was successful from the start, and
when accumulating some money he
formed partnership with Messrs.
Haggin and Tevis.
The trio grew rich rapidly through
pumping aud buying claims. They
own the largest and most profitable
mines in Butte City, Montana, and
are interested in others as in Arizona
Colorado, Mexico, Idaho, and Califor-
MIA.
Mr. Hearst is considered the most
expert judge and prospector of mines,
on the Pacific coast, and it is said
that his opinion in regard to mine
is Sc ldem at fault He is fifty-five
years of age, tall and we'll formed,
but without superfuous flesh. In
1862 he aspired to the sovernorship
of California, but General Stoneman
secured the nomination and was cleo

made Senator, Mr.. Hearst was the
Democratic caucus nominee. A&& = So

IN CHATHAM AND ALAMANCE.

The seotineI Traveller Takes :. Ranrble
Through These Counties
SILERs, n. c., April 29.-After a few
days ramble through a portion of AL
amance and Chatham counties we
find ourselves at the fourishing little
town OF Sllers, where we have the plea
sure of meeting and exchanging greet
lngs with many of our old friends
from Chatham and Randolph counties.
Not having visited this section within
the last two years, we are surpris-
ed to see such vast improv
ments in and around this RAPIDLY
growing town. We find here a num-
Der OF young men of energy, who are
leaving nothing undone that can be
done to create a market at this place
for all the products of the farm and
garden. Among the many other enter
prlses they have a large and substan
tlal tobacco warehouse, and through
the untiring efforts and good manage
ment OF It's manager, 0. A. Hanna,
Esq, 1t obtains fair portion of he
tobacco trace of this section and we
are pleased to note the fact that farm
ers obtain as good prices for tobacco
here as anywhere in the State. Owing
both to the great quantity and the in
ferior quality of the present crop,
prices are ruling rather low everv-
where for common grades. Those.
who have succeeded in making fine
quality of the weed have been reward
ed tor their labors.
At Ore Hill, three miles south OF
this place, we also find a prosperous
and thriving community. Here we
met warm friends who showed their
appreciation for The SENTINEL and
its representative by giving US their
names and the cash Among the
"big" prospects ahead for this place
Is that OF working the immense beds
OF iron ore deposited here. These de-
posits have been examined recently by
the most competent experts who pro-
nounce the quality of the ore the very
best for making bessemer steel rails, the
quantity being almost inexhaustible.
We understand that syndicate of
capitalists have an eye to the early
opening and working of these i'm
mense stores of wealth which will give
to a large number of
hands, thus throwing life and energy
into the whole community. We also
note considerable improvement on the
line of the G. f. & Y. V.R. r., south
of Greensboro. At Swepsonville, a
nice little cotton manufacturing town,
fifteen miles south of Graham in Ala
nance county, We took transportation
on tow boat, manned by four gentle
men of color, who in the short period
of three hours landed us safely at Col.
Holt's factory on the N. G. r. R., a
distance of about five miles. Not
withstanding this exceedingly rapid /,
transit, we were enabled by skill and
close attention to business to hold on
to the ship and to take in some of the
scenery as we passed at snail like rap
dlty. At Haw River, we find Col.
Holt, among large number of hands
ousily engaged in building another
cotton factory near the site of the |
one. Alamance county though
'mall In territory, we understand has
within her borders eighteen cotton |
actories and all in operation at this
writing. This county, we believe pays
more tax into the State treasury, &C.
'ording to population, than any other
the State. TRAVELLER.

 The fast mail service should not re- ceive too much praise nor too much censure. The NEWS dated March IF, which Mir St John mentions, was pub lished on the evening of March 16 and left Canaan at 7.48 o'clock. The NEWS went to press ahead of time in order that all connected with the office might have an opportunity to attend the fu- neral of James A. Root which took place Wednesday forenoon. The NEWS of March 24, was twenty-four hours late in reaching East Canaan, Norfolk, Winsted or points east on the Fl. & O. w. rail road. This was no fault of the fast mail service, but rather the fault of one of our workmen who in an absent-minded sent the sack of papers down the Housatonic road instead of east on the H. & c. w. road.

ORE HILL.

It has been so muddy in Ore Hill the past few weeks that people can hardly get to the post-office and store, and are not apt to try unless compelled by ne- cessity. The Brook Pit Mining com pany are digging about 100 tons per day, but only to accumulate on the stock-piles, for the teams cannot draw it away, and much of the time the com pany teams cannot draw it to the cars.

 D. D. Warner left us a few days since, as we supposed to attend court, but e'er long returned with better half. We think he must have gained his suit. Miss Lydia Bates of Winsted is the prize he gained. We wish them many happy years together.

OBITUARY.
Mrs Frederick .. Lawrence

Ars Frederick .. Lawrence. Mrs Mamie Lawrence, nee Cleveland, was born at Leicester, N. Y, May 24. 1851. She was married to Frederick s. Law renee of Great Harrington, Mass, on Sept. 1s. 1882, at Perry, N. Y. They removed to Newark, N. J., in the spring of 1884, where she died on the 27th of March, 1886, after an illness of four months which only gave brighter lus- Ire to the noble qualities which had en- deared her through the active period of her life to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
 To those who really knew her and made an affectonate study of her char scter as revealed in the domestic circle, ct social gatherings or in a friendly visit, 1t will not seem at all extreme to use very high terms of praise. She was as near personified unselfishnsss as . mortal being can we'll be, and her thoughts were SO constantly about the welfare of others that we do not recall g single instance of selfishness. AS de- voted daughter she was for years the chief joy and mainstay of her parents, and the more recent duties of wife only widened her heart, and her husband has had all 8 wife could give, and yet the parents never lost any part of their child. Furthermore, neither of these relations have interfered with constant and most active interest in all about her.
 Stricken down at that time of life when she was apparently just entering upon a full enjoyment of the pleasures and responsibilities of ifS; with con- stantly widening circle of friends, she has left behind a memory which will be treasured by all. She combined in 8 remarkable degree virtues that are not often associated. Her energy and self reliance were never 8 cause of irritation but were so coupled with 8 wise and affectionate regard for others, that it was uniformly exercised in unnumbered ways to the blessing of all to whom she could be of service.
 To those in this neighborhood who met Mrs Lawrence at either of her brief visits in Canaan-her early and most unlocked for death is 8 deep and per- sonal bereavement.
 The funeral services were held at her late residence in Newark, Sunday after noon. Rev MT Scofeld officiated. The interment was made Monday afternoon, in the lawrence family lot in the ce1ne- tery at Canaan, Conn. A.T.H.
