James Richardson, a native of Canada, was recently killed at Mendocino City by the fall of tree. Hcz Purdom, lae of Missouri, has purchased a half interest In tbe Napa Iieiorter, and that paper will hereafter -r gz'' WHAT THEY ARE DOING ELSEWHERE. Tbe Winter session of the Napa CoL legiate Institute opened on the 12th instant with a large attendance, including 62 boarders. Tbe institution is in a highly flourishing condition in all respects, and the number of pupils is constantly increasing. Besides the Institute, Napa lias a Toung Indies' Seminary and two other schools of a high grade, all ot which are prospering finely.

The people of Dixon, Solano County, have subscribed fl2.0C0 for the erection of a college edifice, and the construction of the building will soon be commenced. Rev. Mr. Benedict, lately from the East, is considering the -subject of establishing a seminary at Mendocino City. Upon the subject the Star says A seminary of learning is an institution that is very much needed here.

The question arises, then, can Mendocino maintain a seminary We believe it can, as a great many persons In this county send their sons and daughters to Oakland, San Jose, Santa Rosa and other places, for the purpose of attending a college or seminary. This is very expensive, especially for those who are not in the best of circumstances; besides, parents BOARD OF CITY TRUSTEES. A regalar meeting of the Board ol Clfr Trustees was held at the City Hall on Monday night, at which Fairbanks, Wickersham, Lynch and Sy-monds were present On motion, it was ordered that Engine Company No. 3's engine be removed from Doyle's building to the City Hall building; Wickersham, Lynch and Symonds were appointed Committee to have the necessary alterations made for the accommodation of said company and for Alert Hose Company No. 1.

Would it not be better to have a seminary in our own town, Vle 01 nmiy can sena ineir cnuuren to receive as goou an education as can be obtained at Oakland or San Jose The expenses of traveling backward and forward at vacation time would be almost entirely avoided, while pupils attending school here would be within a day's or a day and a half's travel to any part of the county where their parents reside." What the Star says in regard to the need of a seminary will apply as forcibly to Petaluma as to Mendocino City, and more so, because the former is five or six times as large as the latter. Dixon is not one-third as populous as our city, but her citizens, seeing the necessity for a college and realizing the great advantage it will be to them, are determined to have one without dtIa'- Five ag Napa was not two-thirds as large as Petaluma. It has made rapid strides during this period, is growing fast, and will over take and leave us behind ere long if we do not lay hold ot the advantages within our reach. One of the chief ol these is the establishment of an academy or seminary.

BEWARE OF THE SWINDLERS. We are informed by a certain jeweler of this city that a number of persons liereHbouts have been victimized recently by some scamp or scamps at the wharf in San Francisco. Just prior to the boat leaving her berth a man dressed as an honest farmer or laboring man will approach some individual. and engage in conversation, and after uhnm v.o lu-ne m-sn after some well known person living in liia looolitr. im will enmp to the point, and in a very suiiiit: n.nn.r informs the passenger that he would like to get money enough to carry him t0 his destination.

He will then pull from Ills a fin o-old w.itoh. which he will offer to his new acquaintance as collateral for five or ten dol- According to tlic oftnouut lie ninj need. The lellow gets his money and the country speculator places his new treasure close to his manly bosom. The boat shoves off and so does the fellow who "pawned" the watch only, the latter "shoves" up town. Our country friend takes several strolls about the boat in quest ot his friend.

He don't find him. Can it be possible that he got left And would it be his luck to get a $150 watch for $10? He keeps mum. Days pass into weeks, and the watch is not redeemed. He will sell it immediately, he thinks, and plunges toward a jeweler's store; hands the watch to a dealer in golden trinkets and with a look at that strikes an iattitude. The jeweler scans it with the naked eye, and then places a miniature telescope to his right optic, and after a moment says, This is very inferior brass the watch can't be made I 1 I Prvgrni ar tl Fattoa Braek- Th Bm to Gnalto4 SmimtUI hj Mar lt Nw Traia fwwgir CMchca Bora FnlfBt Can, aaa am Kxre ud Kail, BaaaklBff aad Car to be Built TaaWaafcta Track etc Work on the Folton branch of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad was suspended last week in consequence of the storm, but operations will be commenced a gala once, or as soon as the weather will permit.

By Wednesday of next week the track will be laid to Green Valley, within one mile of Russian River. Tbe bridge over Green Valley Creek Is already framed, painted, and ready to "be put together, and it will take about ten days to complete it. The Russian River bridge is also in process of rapid construction. It la expected that the road will be completed and in running order to Guerneville by May lstv AT DONAHUE Work In tlie machine shops of the railroad company is very active. The steamer Antelope, which lor several months has been undergoing repairs, will be ready for the painters in two weeks, and be ready to resume her trips on the route about tbe middle of March.

The splendid new train of passenger coaches will be completed in two weeks. Two of the coaches are at present at Cloverdale. The Company have commenced the construction of 100 flat cars. The Iron work, wheels and castings for the same have been already ordered from the East, and are expected to arrive here by the first of February. A new express and baggage car, that will be a third larger than the car at present in use for this purpose, is also in course of construction, together with a new smoking oar for the passen ger train.

THK CAR THAT IS TO TAKE COL. 1XNA- HCE TO THE CENTENNIAL. Not to be far behind any other railroad in the country, a magnificent six-wheeled Silver-Palaoe-Pullman sleep ing, drawing room, and dining car, is soon to be built for the President's ex- elusive use. This car, it believed, will surpass anything of a similar character on wheels. In point of finish convenience and luxurious appointments.

It will be made with a drawing room, dining room, sleeping apartment, observatory, kitchen, and will accommodate about fifteen passengers. It is rumored that In this elegant palace coach, Col. Peter Donahue, the President of the road, will make his visit to Philadelphia, to the forthcoming Centennial Exhibition. OTHER ITEMS. There was but one wash-out ou the line of the road during the recent storm, and that occurred Sunday night, at the cattle guard above the bridge on Mr.

Campbell's ranch. The wash occurred by diverting the stream from it proper channel. The loss to the Company was about $2,000, and the train on Monday morning was delayed In consequence about one hour. V. Kilduff, master mechanic at Donahue, received a partial stroke of paralyisls at Donahue last Tuesday.

He has been taken to San Francisco for medical treatment. If uonsnii favorable the Sunday excursion trains will be resumed Jabout the first of March, when a new timetable will go into effect.

Mr. Young makes three sizes of cooking stoves, one size parlor stoves, and two sizes box or beating stoves. Tbe advantages to be gained in buying these stoves are various. In the first place they are the oest stove ever made. Secondly, they are made of heavier castings and are le9s liable to break.

Further, if any part bums out or gets broken, you can repair the same at a trifling cost by going to the foundry and getting duplicate plates.

The Middletown AVtra has suspended publication for tbe present, and is awaiting the arrival of a new press and material from San Francisco, when publication will go on without further interruption. The amount of the January school apportionment in Mendocino County Is f5.C21, ot which Ukiah District gets 432 40; Round Valley, 216 20; Buchanan, f'216 20; Manchester, $218 20; Cuffy's Cove, $84 63; Bridgeport, $72-00; Elk Creek, $59 40. All the other districts in the county receive fl.08 10 each.

McGrvc-y lias Introduced a bllt In the to incorporate Ukiah. It prOv'l(l or th wlMitlri live Trustees, a Treasurer and a Marshal who shall be ex-offlcio Assessor, Collector andaj Street Commissioner. The Marshal shall receive such compensation as the Trustees may allow. He is the only nicer who is to receive pay for his services.

Sme time ago, says the Sacramento Hrmld, Napa hau a survey made of its county boundary lines. About three month-' time was occupied in making tho survey. Tlie Supervisors have occupied as much time in making an investigation Into the matter off the survey, and the injuiitlon bids tair to last as many months more. It begins to look as if the county will be compelled to pay much more for the investigation than the orignal cost of the work.

PETALUMA THEATRE. The great sensational play of Lost In London," was produced at this Tlicatre last night.

We can say without hesitation that it was the best mounted and matched performance rver witnessed in Petaluma. The coal mine scene deserves special mention, and gave a vivid picture of life among the coals. Frank Wilton's Job Arm -royd was a masterpiece ot acting, a fine line being drawn between the innocent miner and 'he injured husband. Mrs. Wilton as Nelly gave a life-like reperentation of a weak-minded peasant girl seduced by ono of the English gentry.

It was in a measure an unpleasant role, but from the first she had the sympathy of the audience. Little Lulu was. as is in all things, A No. 1. Mr.

Sutherland portrayed the heartless Englishman of money, preying upon the confidence ot his poor tenantry with a recklessness that at times made us think it was not all assumed. Dick Mead as the pugilistic Blinker created a great deal of mirth, and was very good, albeit he dropped the Lancashire dialect for the Irish brogue too often The Olio was a very pleasant: one. Mrs. Georgia Hayne Wilton's recitation of Beautllul Suow we never have seen excelled. Joe Starkie, a new member of the Company, was excellent in his song and lance, especially in his quintessence of Old Virginia.

The Wiltons play again to-morrow night. Go' see them in the "Colleen Bawa and "Old Guard." We understand that the Troupe play "Lost in London" in Santa Rosa, for the benefit of the Library flllKl, next Tiicsilnj- night. Wo can assure our sister city that there is a rich treat in store for It. AN ACED COUPLE. Mention was made In the Ahgus, two weeks airo.

of a man and wom named Fruits, living in Montgomery County. Indiana, whose ages were represented to be 113 and 111 years respectively, and who had lived together in the married state eighty-five years. We learn from John Line baugh, who has resided in Green Valley, this county, since 1S52, that the ages of this venerable couple were cor- rectly stated. Mr. and Mrs.

Fruits are grandfather and grandmother of Mr. Linebaugh's wife, and the fatlier and mother of Jacob Fruits, who is now nearly 70 years of age, and has lived in Green Valley 24 years. Mr. and Mrs. Fruits emigrated to Indiana from- Ohio many years before the commence- ment of the present century.

Mr. Fruit, who is still hale and hearty and quite active, was twelve years old atthe outbreak of the Rebellion, and twenty- five when Washington was first elected pioneers of the West, who have long since been gathered to their fathers.

ALL ABOUT IT.

The tacts of the case, as related to us, are an. follows: lie lived at Lake-ville last year where, in company with another person, he worked a ranch on shares and made money, as all industrious and careful farmers do in this section. During the season he contracted debts in Petaluma amounting in the aggregate to several hundred dollars, and recently he decided to pay a visit to the "States." Being a con vert to the intcrconvertable theory.1' he very quietly converted hU valuables into gold coin and negotiable paper, and took his departure from Donahue for the East Monday morning. A cer tain well known and popular publican, of this city, who was his creditor to a considerable amount, got wind of his contemplated movements, and on the day of his departure visited Donahue only to learn that the bird had flown a little while befere. Sonic serious thinking was indulged in by our friend on his way home, and before hi3 arrival here his plans were matured.

A Jus tice of the Peace was Interviewed and the necessary papeis for the arrest of a debtor who Is about to leave the State with tlie purpose of defrauding his creditors, were made out, and placed in the hands of Constable Adeh, who, thus armed and equipped, immediately started for where he took the evening train for Sacramento. lie arrived at the capital city just in time to seize his man before his departure eastward. The officer and his captive arrived here on Wednesday, and the latter made haste to effect a satisfac tory adjustment of pending pecuniary obligations, after which he again took his departure for the a wiser, poorer, and it is hoped, a better man than ou the first occasion. Let the out come of this man's strategic movements be a warning tn who would see to evade the payment of their honest debts. Oranges.
