OBITUARY. Hen. Jobe Bigior, Ex-Governor of Califer Hon. John Migier, ex-Governor of the State of Cali died’ in Sacramento on Thursday. He was. iaiseven yours of age, Governor Bigler was | @ remarkable man——“/ Made, and by his life career | ilustrative of the workings of Ac*¢rigan Insuivntions and the elevating induences of a healthy, uuré- stricted democracy. John Bigler was born in Cumberland county, Pennsyivania, on the sth of January, 1804, and — ‘was the oldest of twelve children, ten of whom were | Ro; living some Yew years since. In the year 1816, a short time after the close of the war with England, | In which the father haa taken an active part, the | family removed west of the Alleghany Mountains, to | the county of Mercer, then very sparsely popu: miles distant from any neighvor, The family arrived little delay erected a rude tog cabin as a dwelling, and commenced improving the homestead, where vhe aged mother of the Governor still resided in leaving his widow and tWelve children, most of the children too young to be of material assistance to the older brothers, John and William, afterwards Governors of two great States—Pennsylvania and Calliornia, The whole burden rested on John and his brother Wiliam, who not only labored diligently ‘upon the farm at home, but worked out by the day and month to acquire means to maintain and edu- } cate the younger members of the nousgiiold. In thé } year 1821 John bound himself, with the consent of 18 br her, “ appren'ice to the printing business, in the town of Mercer, where he remained about one year, and then left for the city of Pittsburg, | where he closed his apprenticeship, In the tall of the year 1825 John lett Pittsburg for Harrisburg, where he was employed by Murray & Cameron as @ Journeyman printer. Duriny the time that he was engaged in this ofice he spent his nights and Mr. David Krouse. In the summer of 1826, at the earnest solicitation of his uncle, Judge’ Dock, and General Philip Barner, leading democrats, he was induced to take charge of the Centre County Demo- crat, whieh he continued to publish until after the In this contest he took an active and elective part, and was chosen & member of the Legislature, He married in the spring of 1829, and soon after, in company with his father-in-law, removed to Ohio, and served one | year as Seoretary of the Canal Board. After the re-election of General Jackson he was tendered a posiuon 1p the Post Office Department under Mr. Kendall, which he filled about one year, and then resigned and returned to Pittspurg, where he took an active part in political afairs, It ts a circumstance known to Pennsylva- nians that Governor Bigler was the first public man in the State that took position in favor of the annexation of Texas, and in the public meetings at Pivtsbarg, where the first resolutions in favor of annexation were offered and advocated by him, he stood almost atone, After the election of President Polk, at the instance of democratic friends, he took charge of the Datiy Morning Post, which he edited with matked ability for more than a year; but the concern proved unprofitable, and he was compelled to dispose of the efabiisnment at considerable loss, Wale eu; in sone he prosecuted his law studies, and was admitted to the bur in the sammer of 1840, In fall of that year he removed to Brown county, filinois, where he estadlisned a democratic paper, and was soon elected Cominis- sioper in Chancery.

Ty “the month” of April, | 1849, crossed the Mississippi! River at ‘ar: saw, and reached St Josepll, on the Mis- sourl River, about the 1st of . On the ath of May he passed the Miasourt River, driving four yoke of oxen, on ps ray for the land of golil. Compara- Uvely few male ‘posse veriand te in x ath great Whee fina 1842, and all of many {phenom Ox driving was a new busmess to the Governor, which greatiy increased the labors | of the journey, and although he enjoyed good health, | such Was his anxiety of mind and the fatigue ea- | dared tnat he weighed thirty-five pounds less when | he arrived in Caliiorma than when he left Liliois, On the route, like the emigration of 1849 generally, he encountered great difiiculties and faced danger of almost every character; sometimes threatened by the Indians, who were daily seen hovering around the tram, then with. total desiruction in crossing the large streams. Bigter and the train With him were iour days im effecting a crossing over the North Fork of the Plaite, at the meuth of Deer Creek. They were compeiled to —_ unload ° ‘wagons, take = them ferry the whole over on a rude ralt made of cottonwood ‘The raft, when well Jaden, sunk deeply under water, which to so rapid @ stream as the North Fork of the Platte rendered crossing exceedingly hazardous ; aud in fact, dure ing the four days occupied in passing, six lives were lost, But notwithstanding he was surrounacd by danger and death the Governor remained un- shaken 1p purpose, and never tor a moment relaxed his efforts to prosecute the journey, and secure lus family against surroun‘ling perils. At Devil's Gate, near ladependence Rock, the men travelling with the Governor, impaticnt to proceed more rapidly, leit him, and from that peint to Califormia he was compelled to stragie alone, 60 far as driving team, guarding his family aad herding stock were con- cerned. His wife and daughter, however, aided him night and moi ning in herding, and yoking and unyoking the oxen, Although the party endured fatigue and many privations, but little occurred wor- thy of note until ater leaving the Humboldt River, to travel what is now known as the Lawson route. During the afternoon of the first day after leaving the Humbolat, and near the much dreadec Forty Mile Desert, ja, bis only child, then in her eighth year, fell out of the wagon and the wheel | passing over her thigh fraciured it badly. ‘This | Was the hour that tried the parents. Governor Bigler took his darling child in his arms, with but litle hope that she would survive the terrible acci- dent, Fortunately @ physician was the driver of the first team behind, He immediately came for- Ward and tendered his services. The child was lifted into the wagon and placed on a bed, and the fractured limb was then set and dressed as well as possible. After the limb was taken care of, the child, though in great pain, closed her arms around the neck of her distreesed father and said, “Fatuer, Talone am vo blame for this—I was careless; but you and mother must be calm—trave!l on end | ‘Will bear the pain without complaining.’’ The littie company held © consultation and determined that the best plan was to proceed on their journey as speedily as possible, untt) hey had passed tho Desert. At this Ue the party bad a few bundjes of rushes, cuton the Humboldt as food for tht catile, and about filteen gallons of water. They then moved on, but iver reveling ©, short time, owing to the roughness of tne road, it was found necessary to swing & board to the boughs of the wagon and pur @ feather bed upon it, 80 as to protect the fractured lim» trom the effects of the jolting of te wagon. This done, the mothcr took @ seat by the side of ler child and held the board steady when passing over rocky places In the road, and over the small streams which were quite numerous. Tie party croased the Sierra Nevada, iu Oregon, near Goos kee It was Jound necessary, the oxen betng greatly exhausted, to double teams im crossing the mountains, which ‘was effected in about two days. Along Plum Creek wend around Goose Lake the Indians were numerons and guile hostile, rear great vigilance to preserve their own lives and the lives of their stock. uring the night that the Governor and his family were encamped im te litte valley at the foot of the monntain the Indians killed and wounded quite a number of caitle. ‘The party was about twenty-five days in travelling from Goose Lake to Sacramento ey, near Law- son’s Ranch. During most of the journey the Gove ernor at might Jay on the ground ‘near the wagon, which contained his fawily, well armed and pre: paved tor defence if attacked by the Indians, After his arrival in Sacramento, where has just died, Mr. Kigler lived tu atent, where he lay lonr Weeks with inflatmatory rhumatism onable to miove, AS soon as he recovered he removed to the neighborhood of the Horse Market, and being totally destitute performed labor of ‘every kind that offered, 80 a8 to obtain means for the sup- ort of his family, For a tume he was engaged in jwuling Wood to the city aud selling it; he then as- sixtedt his wife and daughter in making bed-spreaas for Colonel Henry. erwards he was employed by an auctioneer, ou the corner of Froat and J streeta, in removing boxes and barreis to sult customers at his sales, He also aided on several occasions In wnlouding the steamer Senator. short, ne labored incessantly and hard to pro food and clothing for his family, and at this da: we well KNOW, speaks With pride of the @ + as rts Avout the middle of Octover he Was nominated caudinate for the Galllornia Legislature, ana on the sth of November, 1840, was elecied.

SPRING STATION, Woodford County, Ky. Nov. 25, 1871, On the line of railroad between Lexington and Frankfort is the great estate of John Alexander, the largest breeder of race horses and fine cattle in i. America, The farm extends over three thousand two hundred broad acres of as One jand as there is in the world for the purposes to which it 1s appued. At 18 systematically divided up into pastures for the tons into fields for cultivation of oats, corn, &c.. while much of it is assigned as paddocks and lots for the stallions and the weanling colts and fillies, and for other purposes better known to the proprie- for himself, | Mr. Alexander being away at present 1n Califor- | Dia his agem, Mi, Broadhead, Véry kluidly accom- ' panied” me over the vast estate—that 1s, he drove me over it for an entire day—all the time I had to Spare—and showed me ail that could be seen during that limited time, it would take a full week to be- come acquainted with all the great animals that ' are now living there, | This is the home of the race horse Lexington, + whose four-mnile time has never veen beaten, Here, also, 13 Planet, another famous four-miler; then * there is Imported Australian, the sire of Helmbold, Abvelkoree, Alroy, and many gther race horses that distinguished themselves on the tut during * the last year. Inan adjoining paddock, and gal- loping about, looking as rough as a prairie builalo, | was Asterold, a grand race horse while on the turf, | anda popular sire of race horses how. Another | addition to the breeding stud has been made thts | | fall by the purchase of Glen Athol, the son of Blalr ' athol, at preseut the most fashtonavie stallion im | England, i My great desire to see old Lexington tea Mr. | Broadhead to drive me over to the stable of that | horse first of all, Approaching it J saw a boy lead- | ing over the soft grass a lively, prancing animal, | ; that would stop at intervals and throw up his heels | and jump to the right and left Jikea coll, When | told that that was Lexington, being at the time | some distance off, { coulu hardly believe what was , told me, I had not seen the horse for seventeen | years, and, knowing that he was blind and tweuty- | two years old, I was not prepared for an exibition | of so much life and colt-like action in a horse of that | age. But there was the sire of one thousand race horses before me, looking as youthful aud vigorous, | with the exception of the loss of his eyes aud a little Warden Tracey | swaying in oa the back, a3 he was when I last saw , Ont him, long years ago. None of the Ua tibers that | are exinbited throughout tie country do him justice, He has not the big beily that ‘roye,gives him, nor | that coarse, draught horse appearance that over arbsts paint. His sorm 1s as Deantitul and his legs | as clean as it he was im training fora race. What | } Superd legs and long, springy Dasterns he has, ex- i celling in beauty those of any other horse on the turf at the present day! It was, however, asad | sight to beho.d this grand old horse, with hus head twisted aside anu raised to tue sun, apparently en- deayoring to get aray of light from that source. | ' Lexington, like Australian, has a large swelling | | under the neck, caused, I was imiormed, by | | drinking tne limestone water of the place.
