SACRAMENTO.
you're All Right"-some Comparisons
With Other Sections

you're All Right ''-Some Comparisons
With Other Sections.
1t has been well suggested that Sacra-
mentans might give some attention to re-
lieving the distress of other sections. Here
everything is all right no food in the
Capital City no rise in prices; no corner
in food supplies; no suspension of bust
ness; no interruption of communication
with trade districts no trouble about pro-
tecting the city from fire; no delayed
mails; no bridges swept away no roads
washed OUT
But by the dispatches this morning it
will be seen that far and wide elsewhere
there is trouble enough. San Francisco is
so afflicted with water that her fire engines
cannot respond to alarms in time to save
property, the food supplies have been cut
off and meats have gone away up to famine
prices Sacramento had her Christmas
| turkey at % cents, while San Francisco had
| to pay 80 cents a pound, and got only a
poor lot at that.
Some coast valleys are said to be seas of
mud, and roads here and there are washed
out, bridges swept away and general smash
played The mails to and from the south
have to go by water, or not at all; railroad
communication is cut off between San
Francisco and Los Angeles and the whole
country south of Mojsye. Los Angeles is
partly under water, and her people mourn;
rivers of the south have risen, joined forces
and swelled into seas; orange groves have
been flooded, and towns and cities are iso-
lated as island in the broad ocean.
While the people have been reading of
the majestic, rolling Sacramento, and breaks
in the levees, and specializing about the
| tule basin filling with water, down south
and on the coast destructive floods have
occurred and business has been very seri-
ously injured.
If the good people who are in trouble
want to get into place of safety and where
things ARE as they were," they can come
up this way and get their regular chops and
steaks at old prices, and enjoy life secure
against the assaults of the elements, and no
extra charge made.
Sacramento has river at her door that
needs dredging, fortifying and wise treat
ment, but with all that she can commiser
ate her luckless neighbors, who on the
| coast and in the south and at the metropo-
| lis have too much water. If things grow
much worse for the citizens of other parts,
Sacramento will have, in common charity,
to send out few steamboats, and bring the
sufferers to this haven of safety and place
of pesceful, uninterrupted enjoyment of
| the pleasures of life.

matter was amicably settled, and old Santa

parts, as well as the full choruses, were so

the piano. proved themselves to be skillful
trainers of the young, in bringing out so
much excellence in singing, speaking and
acting as was displayed during the even
ing.
Added to all this, the taking characters
of the cantata pleased the large audience
in very high degree.
The tree was laden with presents-it
seemed to be g good season for that kind
of fruit. The young ladies and gentlemen
who decorated the church and the tree dis
played excellent taste, and the whole APP
pearance in the evening was rich and
beautiful. The exercises and decorations
were wholly done by the pupils of the
school, no teacher nor officers having any
hand in it and every one was pleased
with the intelligence, skill and good taste
displayed.

Submerged Private Lands Do Not Con-
stitute Public Waters.
Yesterday, in Justice Henrys Court, the
case of Henry Altpeter, charged by Will
liam Mitchell and S. E. Harvey with il
legal fishing, was tried and dismissed. In
the complaint it was alleged that the de-
PENDANT set and used a fixed continuance,
known as a fke-net, for the purpose of
catching fish in the waters of the State,
the said water being slough or tributary
to the American river and about two miles
north of this city.
After hearing the testimony of some OF
the witnesses, District Attorney Bruner
moved that the case be dismissed, it ap-
pesring that the complainant was not well
enough posted ON the laws of the State to
know that the water in which the defend
ant set his nets did not belong to the State,
but was simply an overflow on private
property,

THE DEAD JOURNALIST.

John AIcFetrish to be Buried in San
Francisco.
Yesterday a telegram was received from
Mrs. McGonigal, the aunt of the late John
McFetrish, whose death was announced
yesterday, asking that his body be sent to
her home, at No. 429 Geary street, San
Francisco. This will be done this morn
ing, but the date of the funeral is not
known.
At meeting of the Typographical Union
last evening a committee consisting OF
William Miner, J. L. Robinette, Edward
Stanton and NJ. Alexander was appointed
to accompany the remains to San Fran
cisco.
TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMORY.
AT the session of the Police Court yes
terday Z. G. Hart delivered a touching
eulogy ON deceased, who was once Clerk OF
that tribunal, during which he said
When the light of John McFetrish's
life went out yesterday morning there was
lost to the world man OF intellect and
humane instincts. Before the ringing OF
the church bells which called the soul OF
that boy heavenward," continued Mr..
Hart, she said to me, Never mind, Lige,
we will have Jolly Christmas with your
children Those were his last words. OF
ell those who knew him, there is not one
to say hard word against him. l now
move that when Court aojourns to-day it
does so in respect to his memory. Let me
wish this, and let svery man in this Court
room Join me in the wish; May the turf
over his body be ever kept green, and may
the birds in the spring-time chant melody
around the grave of noble man."
Remarks were also made by Judge
Buckley, who said he had known deceased
for some fourteen years and was familiar
with his noble character. He knew him as
an efficient clerk and an honest man,
which latter was the highest mark OF
merit that can be bestowed upon any
human being. 81 think" continued the
Court, that the only thing we can do in
times of death is to bow in submission to
the will of the great God who put US here,
and who will take us away. His friends
will accompany him to the grave, aud give
to him the offerings that should follow
every honest and good man."
City Attorney Church seconded the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Hart, and Judge Buck
ley ordered it spread upon the minutes as
the order of The Court.

ExnIosinn of a Lamn.

While the family of Charles Campbell,
residing on H street, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth, were at supper last evening, a
coal-oil lamp used on the table exploded
with q loud report. Mrs. Campbell seized
the lamp and threw it into The back yard.
Some thoughtless person thereupon sent
in fire alarm from box "a, causing the
fire department long run through the
almost impossible streets for nothing, as
there was no fire. A few evenings since an
alarm was also sent in for fire that had
not occurred. Long runs off the graded
streets, while the thoroughfares are in their
present condition, are liable TO result in &C.
cidents to the engines and other apparatus
of the fire department.
