The first mention of the discovery of petroleum in Napa County, is made under date of May, 1865, and the place where it was found was on Capt. Samuel D. Goodrich's place, about four miles north-east of Napa City. In July of the same year, it was discovered on Gen. Keyes' place, near St. Helena. The oil was said to be clear and of good quality. In May, 1866, it was discovered at the head of Capelle Valley, fifteen miles from Napa City. A ledge of white quartz in which there are small cavities containing petroleum, a spoonful or so in a place, here and there, in the solid rock. A company was organized, called the " Alladin Petroleum Company," for the purpose of prospecting. Evidences of petroleum are to be found all over the county, but no great quantities of it have been found.
ASSASSINATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN .- The principal event that occurred in the United States in 1865 was the heartless striking down of the head of the nation, Abraham Lincoln, by the fell assassin, J. Wilkes Booth. This was a matter so fraught with interest to every citizen of the Union that we shall devote a portion of our space to a narration of the subject, giving when practicable, the editorial mention made of the deed by the Press of the county, both Democratic and Republican, and such other notices and resolutions that will be of interest in this connection. We regret that the files of the Reporter are not to be found of this date, and hence are confined to the columns of the Register for our quotations. Under date of April 22, 1865, the Register appeared with inverted column rules, or dressed in mourning, and published the following in its editorial columns :
67
General History and Settlement.
" The nation is in mourning over the death of a good and great ruler. Abraham Lincoln is assassinated ! Great horror and unspeakable anguish fills every loyal heart in the land at this announcement. A week since the country was everywhere jubilant ; the joyous roar of cannon rang over hill and through valley, proclaiming the fall of the rebel dynasty. But ere the smoke had ceased curling towards the heavens-while the echo of joyous salutes still vibrated upon the air, and before the cannon-breech had fairly cooled-the terrible tidings that President Lincoln had fallen a victim to the assassin burst over the startled country, bowing many a head in anguish and sending a thrill of horror to the strongest heart. Lincoln, the crushed ruler of a free people-a second ' Father of his Country'-launched into eter- nity without a moment's warning-guilty of naught save a devotion to the country ! 'God grant it may not be true,' was the prayer of all. But, alas for us ! the telegraph performed its office, and tells us the terrible truth.
" We read in history of ambitious chiefs and rulers having fallen by assassination ; but the records of the dark ages-where crime and anarchy ran riot-furnish no parallel to this damnable and atrocious act. The brain throbs and the heart grows faint as we meditate over the awful catas- trophe. The deed was committed on the night of the 14th of April, in Ford's Theatre, Washington. President Lincoln had consented to be present-went, though against his will, with his wife and son. His mind was occupied in devising ways and means for the speedy restoration of peace, and he preferred the Council Chamber, where he had spent the day in deliberation with the Cabinet, to the Opera House. But he took the fatal step, and there, while in his private box with his family, unconscious of harm, the assassin did the work.
"Though shaken to our very center by the terrible and unexpected blow, the Nation stands strong, and will travel on forever, shedding the light of our glory on all coming ages. Dark though our past may have been, our future is bright with promise of returning peace and prosperity ; but Americans never will, nor can they, forget this dark blot upon their country's history, however resplendent may be our future record; and O, how bitter will be the anguish of those who are in any way connected with or responsible for the hellish act ! What a weight of woe and lasting infamy will rest upon their children and their children's children-the conscious- ness of their fathers' guilt in having sustained, by word or deed, the doings of traitors, North or South, whose acts have resulted in the death of Presi- dent Lincoln.
MASS MEETING .- Pursuant to a notice, a large meeting of the citizens of Napa assembled at the Court-house on Monday evening, the 17th, and made arrangements for appropriate funeral ceremonies on the following Wednesday, the day that President Lincoln was buried. The meeting was
68
History of Napa and Lake Counties-NAPA.
called to order by A. Y. Easterby, and the following officers and committees were appointed : President, Hon. Robert Crouch ; Secretary, A. A. Hume- well; Vice-Presidents : James Lefferts, Nathan Coombs, George Fellows, Dr. W. W. Stillwagon, J. H. Goodman, A. Wheeler, Smith Brown, E. S. Chese- bro, N. A. Greene, J. F. Lambdin, J. H. Moran, J. M. Nichols, J. M. Carter, R. T. Montgomery, Henry Edgington, Rev. P. Deyaert, A. Y. Easterby, L. Bruck, A. Higbie, W. S. Turner, A. H. Humewell, Rev. W. J. McClay, Rev. P. V. Veeder ; Committee on Resolutions : R. T. Montgomery, J. M. Carter and A. Higbie ; Committee on Arrangements: N. Coombs, G. Fellows, J. H. Goodman, A. Wheeler, George E. Goodman, Smith Brown, A. A. Hume- well, E. S. Chesebro, N. A. Greene, J. F. Lambdin and J. H. Moran.
Resolutions .- WHEREAS, The causeless and unsuccessful assault which has been made by traitors in the revolted States, and by their abettors everywhere, against the liberties of the American people and the lawful Government of the United States, has culminated in the cowardly assassi- nation of our revered Chief Magistrate, Abraham Lincoln, and the attempted murder of William H. Seward, the Secretary of State ; therefore
RESOLVED, That the loyal citizens of Napa County recognize, in this last desperate act of the unscrupulous tools of traitors, new evidence of their barbarousness, and the character of the wretches who have so long made war against the Government and Administration, and regard this atrocious murder as the legitimate fruits of the fiendish spirit of opposition which has appealed to the brute passions of the brute man.
RESOLVED, That, in our view, the actual perpetrators of this murder, un- paralleled in American history, are less guilty than the traitors, North as well as South, who have for the past four years fermented discord, de- nounced the officers of the Government and incited treason ; in that in our belief the assassination of the President is to be attributed, not to a single murderer, but that a secret organization, whose members are to be found in every community, and which, either directly or indirectly, or through its satellites, has been and still is actuated by the single purpose of destroying the Government and securing success to the Slave-holders' Rebellion.
RESOLVED, That the clemency and forbearance with which this class of traitors have been treated by loyal citizens has been interpreted by them as evidence of cowardice and indifference, and emboldened traitors and ruffians in our midst to continue their vile abuse of the Government and its officers, and this unchecked license to treasonable sentiments has led to this crown- ing act of infamy-the murder of the President of the Republic.
RESOLVED, That swift and severe punishment should be meted out to the authors and instruments of this hellish crime-a crime against the human race-as well as to all who justify it, and that from this hour we will hold no man guiltless who shall approve the act or apologize for its
69
General History and Settlement.
perpetrators, but will heap upon any such, if detected in this community, the heavy indignation of a loyal people.
RESOLVED, That as citizens of the American Republic, we profoundly lament the loss of the great and good man who, through four terrible years of the Rebellion, has conducted our national Government with success and honor; that his untimely and violent death, when just upon the eve of returning peace, which his heart yearned for, and toward which the last energies of his life were devoted-was a calamity not only to the Nation, but to civilization everywhere; that while we weep over his loss, our hearts are filled with thankfulness to the Giver of good, that even thus far in the Nation's life struggle, he hath vouclisafed to us the clear head, the pure heart, the firm will, and the unfaltering truth of Abraham Lincoln; that while in anguish we yield to the bitter consciousness that he has flown, and by the treacherous hand of an assassin, we rejoice in the knowledge that he leaves to the coming ages, a spotless record as a Christian and a patriot; that no words of praise from living lips-no inscriptions on sculptured marble can fitly set forth the greatness of the man, or declare the poignant sorrow of the Nation that loved and revered him, but the living and lasting record of his lofty patriotism shall be found in the heart of every man that has known opposition or learned the value of liberty.
RESOLVED, That in view of this cowardly and atrocious attack upon the Nation in the person of its executive head, and the lurking danger that threatens every loyal man, we pledge ourselves anew to devote our influence, our property, our lives, if need be, whenever and wherever they may be required, to maintain the entirety of the government and punish all traitors against its authority.
RESOLVED, That on Wednesday next, the day of the obsequies of the President, we recommend that all business places be closed ; that all flags and public and private buildings be draped in mourning; that a funeral oration be delivered on that day, with suitable religious services, and that the several military and fire companies, benevolent societies, public and private societies, and every man who feels the deep outrage which this terrible assassination inflicts upon him as a citizen, be invited to join in the funeral procession on that day and attend the public exercises.
At a meeting of the Washington Light Battery, held at their rrmory on Friday the 21st, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted :
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, the beloved President of a free people, has been basely assassinated, while in the discharge of his official duties, at the Nation's Capital, and-
WHEREAS, While in his official career, in time of the rebellion and civil war, when the life of the Nation was in peril, his wisdom and impar- tiality gave us confidence in his judgment and the final issue of the war,
70
History of Napa and Lake Counties-NAPA.
and while his patriotism and love of liberty gave full assurance of the advancement of the great question of this enlightened age, the extinction of human bondage, and-
WHEREAS, His kindness and magnaminity gave us promise of a speedy and peaceful reunion with the Nation's foes, Therefore, be it-
RESOLVED, That we look upon his untimely end as a calamity, not alone to the nation, but to the lovers of freedom throughout the world.
RESOLVED, That we cherish the principles he advocated, and renew in this solemn hour our fidelity to the Union and its course.
RESOLVED, That the armory be dressed in mourning for thirty days.
E. M. BOYNTON, Secretary.
OBSEQUIES OF THE PRESIDENT .- No event ever drew such a concourse of people to Napa as the burial services of the Chief Magistrate, Abraham Lincoln, on the day indicated in the resolution above quoted. The pro- cession was nearly half a mile in length, and was led by the "Rangers," Capt. Lambdin ; then followed the "Guards," Washington Light Battery, Pioneer Engine Company, citizens, Odd Fellows and Masons. The services were held in the Court-house square, which was densely crowded by a sor- rowful multitude, who had assembled to pay their last homage to the earthly remains of one of the greatest and best of men. After a touching and appropriate prayer by Rev. McClay, Hon. Henry Edgerton delivered an oration, replete with wisdom, truth and pathos. His words, with a melan- choly sadness, fell upon the ears and touched the hearts of an attentive and tearful audience. Rev. Higbie delivered a benediction at the close of the ceremonies, after which Mr. Easterby came forward and requested the flag to be raised to full mast, and invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon President Johnson. The day was generally observed throughout, and the whole town being draped in mourning gave it the solemnity due so great an occasion.
At a meeting of the Pioneer Engine Company the following preambles and resolutions were adopted :
WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to have taken from among us, by the hand of the assassin, that great and good man Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States ; and
WHEREAS, We have heard of the assassination with mingled feelings of sorrow and indignation ; therefore,
RESOLVED, That in the death of Abraham Lincoln, the late President of the United States, the Nation has lost a statesman, whose patriotism was the most unselfish, whose character was spotless, and whose honor in all the dealings of his lifetime was unsullied.
71
General History and Settlement.
RESOLVED, That in respect to the memory of the deceased, we will wear the usual badge of mourning, and cause our engine house to be shrouded in mourning for thirty days.
At a meeting of Franklin Lodge, No. 29, Independent Order of Good Templars, the following preambles and resolution were adopted :
WHEREAS, Assassination has taken from the position which he held with such honor to himself and the people, the President of the United States ; and
WHEREAS, Through his death we have lost a lover of his country and a friend of all good enterprises, not the least among which was the cause of temperance; and as, under such circumstances, it becomes all patriots, whether as individuals or associations, to make an appropriate expression of their grief ; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That Franklin Lodge of Good Templars of Napa City con- demn the traitors who can be guilty of such a crime; and, acknowledging the worth of the illustrious dead, do hereby tender their most heartfelt sorrow at the death of the Chief Executive of their country, and that their hall be draped in mourning for the space of thirty days.

Committee.
On the night of November 8, 1865, the prisoners in the County Jail, four in number, succeeded in making their escape. During the day the cells had been scrubbed out, and the prisoners were left in the corridor that night. They removed a stone 10 x 20 inches in size, which allowed them to pass out easily. These stones were supposed to be dove-tailed, so that they could not be removed, but this one did not seem to be.
March 17, 1866, an Act of the Legislature was approved, giving to John Lawley the right to construct a turnpike road from Ed. Ebry's house, in Napa County, through St. Helena Canon, and over the St. Helena range of mountains to Siegler Valley, in Lake County.
April 2, 1866, an Act of the Legislature granted to Dr. G. B. Crane, Dwight Spencer, Jesse Grigsby and R. B. Woodward the right to contruct a Macadamized road from Napa to St. Helena. The matter was to be sub- mitted to the people of the county.
All old pioneers will well remember Ned McGarry, who served in the State Senate for several terms from this district. In December, 1877, he ended his earthly existence with a penknife, in the Occidental Hotel, in San Francisco.

History of Napa and Lake Counties-NAPA.
COUNTY INFIRMARY .- In accordance with an Act of the Legisla- ture, approved April 18, 1867, it was ordered by the Board of Supervisors, March 18, 1868, that they proceed to establish an Infirmary in Napa County. The Board of Supervisors then took the oath as Directors of the institution. March 10, 1869, bids for the erection of buildings were adver- tised for, and April 13th of that year, the contract was let to Beeby, Robin- son & Son, for the sum of $81,218.55. The building was completed August 2dl of the same year, and is located in a spacious tract of land to the south- west of Napa City, a short distance.
In 1869, the following tax statistics were culled from the Assessor's books :
Value of real estate in Napa County $2,538,089
Value of personal property in Napa County. 1,075,164
Total $3,613,253
Number of Acres taxed, 211,131.

66,973 55
Road poll tax collected. 4,125.00
Road district tax collected. 9,050.00
804.00
Dog tax collected
Total tax collected $116,068.42
OLD DEBT FUNDED .- In accordance with an Act of the Legislature, approved April 16, 1880, the Board of Supervisors funded the debt of the county as follows: Railroad debt of $228,000, bearing interest at the rate of 10 per cent. to 6 per cent., payable June 30, 1900; and the road district indebtedness of about $80,000, funded from 7 per cent. to 4} per cent., payable June 30, 1890.
RAILROAD HISTORY .- There is no subject more closely allied to the general history of Napa County than the railroad which extends through Napa Valley, and for which the people have to pay, but do not own. It is not within our province to comment on matters of this kind, but to give the facts as recorded in the Press and records of the county, and leave the reader to draw his own conclusions.
The first mention of a railroad enterprise of any kind in Napa County, · is found under date of December 26, 1863, which states that a company has been organized in San Francisco for the purpose of constructing a railroad from Vallejo to Calistoga. No further mention is made of this company, and it is fair to presume that nothing more was ever done by it.
75
General History and Settlement.
In 1864, the ball for the Napa Valley Railroad was set to rolling, and as early as January 9th of that year, we find that subscription books to stock in this enterprise were open at the bank and the store of A. Y. Easterby & Co.
March 26th of that year, Hon. Chancellor Hartson introduced a bill before the Legislature providing for the issuance of county bonds to the amount of $225,000 to aid the project. It was provided that bonds should be issued at the rate of $10,000 per mile for the first five miles constructed and $5,000 for the remaining thirty-five on to Calistoga. This proposition was to be submitted to a vote of the people. It was argued that all the bonds along the line of the road would be enhanced in value at least ten per cent., and that would more than remunerate the added tax.
April 4, 1864, the Hartson bill was approved by the Governor, and its provisions, as finally passed, were in brief as follows : The Board of Super- visors shall call a special election, to be held on the second Wednesday in May next (1864), to vote on the proposition of the taking of railroad stock by the county at the rate of $10,000 per mile for the first five miles and $5,000 per mile for each mile thereafter. Two miles of the road must be completed before any money can be paid on it, and the bonds shall be of the denominations of $10,000 and $5,000 each, and shall have coupons for interest attached, and the interest shall be payable on the second day of January of each year. A tax shall be levied not to exceed 25 cents on the $100, which shall be known as the interest tax. In the year 1870, and each year thereafter until the bonds are all paid, the Board may levy a tax not to exceed 25 cents on the $100 for the purpose of raising a fund for the payment of said bonds, to be known as the " Railroad Fund."
In accordance with the provisions of the above Act an election was held May 11, 1864, which resulted as follows :
