DEATH OF A NOTED PIONEER
Reminiscences
of Early Explorations of California
One by one the early pioneers of California are passing away. Captain
George H. CARD, who came to the coast of California in 1840 as mate of a ship,
died in this city at 8 o’clock yesterday morning. He was a
native of Providence, R.I., and was 74 years of age.
His first arrival on the coast was in a vessel that came for hides and tallow.
He returned East with his ship and again returned in 1848 to remain. For some
time he navigated the Sacramento river and claimed to be the first
man that hoisted the American flag on that stream. He was a man of considerable
intelligence and wrote a number of articles upon what came under his personal
observation in early times. Of late years he was almost totally blind, and with
the beauties of nature hidden from his vision, his last lingering years were
spent in quiet submission to the decree of fate. He was of a remarkable
cheerful and contented disposition and never repined over the misfortunes that
had befallen him. In an article contributed by him to the Boston Commercial Bulletin, in
December, 1868, he gave an interesting account of his exploration of the Sacramento river. He spent a week exploring
the river above New Helvetia, as the settlement was
called, and enjoyed mush pleasure in hunting elk, which were there about as
plentiful as rabbits are now on the plains. At that time he found many
beautiful articles of Indian manufacture, such as woven ornaments, baskets,
feather blankets, bows and arrows, which he was forced to accept on account of
him being
THE FIRST VISITOR FROM THE
SEA.
He claimed to have been the first man who
made a passage up the river in a ship’s boat. He returned to Yerba Buena. In
August, 1841, the ship Vincennes, the flag ship of the South Exploring
Expedition, arrived at San Francisco in charge of Captain RINGOLD, and the
first regular survey of the Sacramento river was commenced by him with seven
boats from that ship August 30, 1841. In his article to the Commercial
Bulletin, Captain CARD quoted the following extract from the Californian, the
first newspaper printed in California, edited and published by Rev. Walter
COLTON, chaplain of the frigate Congress, and Robert SEMPLE, who came to
California as doctor in Fremont’s Exploring Expedition. The extract herewith
presented was written by Colton under date of February 6, 1847: “The Sacramento valley is now fast filling
up with an active and industrious population. Civilization, with its humanizing
blessings, will soon make the wilderness blossom like the rose, and the day is
not far distant when the lovely banks of the Sacramento will be dotted with
fair cities, towns and villages, resounding with the busy hum of agriculture,
commerce and manufactures. The bread bosom of its waters, which has for ages
been undisturbed save by the solitary, frail, rush canoes of the Indians, will
ere long be whitened by the numerous sails or darkened by the smoke of
adventurous commerce. In after years, when our children are reaping the
benefits of peace and prosperity in this fair region, beneath the broad folds
of the Star-Spangled Banner, should some curious person ask who first displayed
the glorious emblem on this majestic river, for the edification of such we
would inform them that Captain W.D. PHELPS., of
THE GOOD SHIP ‘ALERT’
Of Boston, owned by Bryant, Sturgis
& Co., with a boat from that ship for the purpose of trade and discovery,
was the first one to ascend the river with a keel-boat, and first to exhibit
the flag of our country to the wondering savages of these solitudes.” On the 28th
of October, 1842, Captain CARD was in San Diego, where he received information
that war had been declared between Mexico and the United States; that Commodore
JONES, with two ships, had taken Monterey and hoisted the American flag on the
fort without any fighting; that General MICHELTORONA had, with a large force,
left Los Angeles for San Diego to seize the American property there. The
courier that carried the note to Card said that the troops would be upon him in
twenty-four hours. He had then over 30,000 hides on shore, which had taken
thirty months to collect and cure. He and his party spiked the guns in the
fort, which had no garrison, and contained five long brass 18 and three iron
24-pounders. He picked up a barrel of copper shot that would fit the ship’s
guns. The expected fight never took place. With the history of many of the
early hunters and trappers he was probably more familiar than any other man in
the State. It pleased him to relate thrilling adventures in bear hunting;
capturing sea otters and sea elephants; incidents of long voyages at sea. When
first on the coast he was seven times at San Francisco, thirteen times at
Monterey, three times at Santa Cruz, seventeen times at Santa Barbara, and
equal number of times at San Pedro, and in visits along the shore, the anchor
of his ship was hove 131 times. Captain Card doubtless carries with him to the
grave many secrets of early pioneer life that no man but himself could have
revealed. -[Stockton Independent, July 8

SCHOOL ELECTION - On the 3d instant an
election was held at the Riverside-road school-house to fill the office of
School Trustees for a term of three years, which resulted in the unanimous
re-election of Judge L.M. LINCOLN. This is but a just tribute to the efficient
services of Judge Lincoln in educational matters. The intelligent and
prosperous people of Sutter District seem to favor the retention of good men to
public office - the present incumbents, L.M. LINCOLN, F.H. STACK and E. DOLE,
having held the honorable position of public school Trustees for several years.
LIVELY ELECTION - On Saturday last in the
neighboring town of Washington there was a lively contest
over the election of School Trustee. Every voter in the district went to the

J. HILTON, J. STRADER and T. GORMLEY. Each was confident of success. They were
all doomed to disappointment, however, for when the votes were counted it was
ascertained that P. LEPICH, a gentleman who was not a candidate, had received a

determined that the silver wedding should be celebrated, and is was, in a quiet

the result was a pleasant congratulatory dinner and evening party. The hosts
received, beside the spoken good wishes of their guests, a large number of
congratulatory letters from friends in Oakland
and San Francisco and
other points and several were accompanied by appropriate presents. During the
party the couple were called up to account for the quarter of a century of
married life, and the husband stated to his guests that he and his wife had six

married and in Alameda, two sons are machinists in the railroad shops, one is

THE LAST OF THE TURNERS
Our Visitors to Return Home
To-Morrow Morning
A Gala Night at the Pavilion
,With the Award of Prizes - Excellent and Appreciated Music by Both Bands - The
Swimming Contest To-Day - An Open-Air Concert To-Night.
The ball given at the new Pavilion last night
by the Turners was a grand success. The magnificent building was brilliantly
lighted by electricity, a dynamo having been placed in machinery hall, and the
power being furnished by the Agricultural Society’s huge engine, making a
steady and brilliant illumination. The main hall was decorated with evergreens,
German and American flags, bunting and streamers, and about the music stand in
the center of the structure were draped the laurels of the various Societies
forming the Pacific Turn Bezirk. Both the Hussar and First Artillery Bands were
present, the former being stationed in the south gallery and the latter in the
music stand. The Hussar Band played concert music and the Artillery Band
furnished music for dancing. Both bands did their best, many of their selections
were applauded, and remarks complimentary to Sacramento’s two excellent bands
