GOLD EXCITEMENT. A few days ao mention was made in this paper of the repotted discovery of gold in Snohomish county, Washington territory. Quite a number of Portlanders we learn have gone over to prospect at these recent discov eries. The following is taken from th DU jxitcJt of Sept. lGtli, relative to the precious metal fever : The gold excitement is still on the Increase. About thirty men left this city on the Fanny Lake. Some of thorn were fully equipped, carrying picks, shovels, pans, bacon, flour and tobacco, and-others went without baggage, intending tImply to locate claims and return for their omtits If the diggings are as rich m reported. Amocc the number are many experienced miners, and no doubt the mines will be thoroughly prospected. fcamules of grain gola. &ald to have been taken from the mines In Snohomish county, were shown in this city yesterday. In the afternoon a number of persons started for the mines in skiffs and ca noes, taking ihcir outfits with them. If the mines are half as rich as represented, a great manv peo ple will goto them on Jrlday, when the 'Fanny IiVe makes her next trip. An account of the state ofaffalrs at Snohomish city is rent us under date of Sept. 13th, by W. H. Tirtlot, Eki., thus: "Great excitement prevails here in regard to a report that very rich diggings have been struck at some point on the sultan river. The merchants and blacksmiths, with a large number of the population of the town, have gone up to tho mines, among whom are 11 C. Fer guson aud Ward. The town Is almost deserted. This morning Barrett & Cotton are reported to have found paying claims, from which they have taken S10 per day." The finding is said to have been accidental A man named Lowe, accompanied by his sou, wcro out on a hunt. One night they camped on what appeared to be a sandbar In the dry bed of a river. The next xsorntrg they disc.n ered indications of gold, and curing the day washed out S25 with the means at hand. These men carried the news to Snohomtth City, and a large number of men went at once to the mines. There were fifty claims located on Friday last. The news spread to the logging camp?, md many of them were deserted. heu the Fanny IaIc came down the river on Sat urday almost the entire male population of the valley were on their w ay to the mines. Tho mines are about t"venty miles from this city. Steamers can ascend the river to within twelve mite?, and the remainder of the distance can be traveled by c;yjocs. A few men have been working in the vicinity for years, making from S2 to S3 per day. Gold is known to exit along the Suitan river, and those who havebeen prospecting there are not surprised at therecent developments. Still It is possible that the large findings, as reported, arc only occasional de posits and not general. There are now hundreds of mcu in the mines, and we will soon be able to give .something more defiuite. BRIEF NOTICS. No Hate circuit com t yesterday. Great quantities of grain pouring in.

Ill First street, last evening. I have no interest or desire to exaggerate or overpaint the maniiestatlons there given and witnessed by quite a respectable assemblage of. In most instances, entire strangers tome. Soon after entering the room Mrs McLennan, a stranger to me, took a seat at the stand and at ouce wrote " My dear sir. I am glad to meet yon here to-night. Litt. and the children are alt well, and expect vou home Sundav. Your mother in spirit, Elizabeth Welsh." I will here add that Lltt " is a family or pet name by which my wire has been known by intimate friends from girlhood, and Elizabeth Welsh Is the .name of her mother, and lhat I have been very uneasy, having heard by telegram dated 12th, that my wife was quite sick. In addition as a test to me, the names of my father and sister were given and also the name of Dr. Mc Mlchael, a spirit friend whese name will readily be recognized by spiritualists of Grand Roude val ley. A large number of names and communica tions were read, each of which was recognized by persons in the audience. After this, the lights be ing extinguished. Dr. McLennan sitting in the cajpre and surrounded by about twenty persons, manifestations were given aud communications received, that to be realized, would require the presence of the Investigator.
