Dispatches from Naples rvport the agitation in Mount Vesuvius increasing. and an extensive eruption looked for The British ship Iladdon IlaM, from San Francisco for Queenstown, pot into Cowes with loss of eails, cargo shifted and crew sick. Ihe President of the Centennial lioard of Finance publishes a card say. sng the citizens of Philadelphia contribu ted the funds to entertain, Saturday last, the President, supreme court ard Con gressional party. The Board of Finance bore no part thereof. J no. S Taft, gauger, convicted of con spiracy to defraud the revenue, at Mil. vraukee, ou tlx 21st, wag. sentenced to five months imprisonment in the State prison and a Lne of $2,000 and halt the costs of the trial. Philip Weimar, con. victed of the same offense, was senten ced to eight mouths' imprisonment iu the county jail and a flue of $2,000 and halt Uie costs of trial. A Times special from Berlin says it is now ascertained that the total number killed by the explosion at Bremen Hav en is izs, aid of wounded 56. The Bremen aid committee reports that 20 of the injured are hopelessly maimed, and there are 56 widows and 135 or phans of victims of the disaster, for the benefit of whom it proposes to raise a subscription of 75,000. The Boston Journal says that when the war-broke out the accumulations of Henry Wilson amounted to some few hundred dollars. When the war closed he was some $1,500 in debt. No sick soldier was ever left uncared for it his peciiuiary means rendered it possible to afford relief! Fechter, the German tragedian, dar ing tho performance of a play at the Walnut-street Theater, in Philadelphia, recently, fell from a platform, part of which gave way under him. The fall injured him so seriously that it is thought that he will have to leave the stage, lie has sued the proprietors of the theater for damage. - A Washington special says a very strung pressure will bo brought to bear to secure the rejection ot the recom mendation of Dr. Lindcrman for the location of the new mint at Indianapolis or St. Louis. The Southern and South western members will oppose the bill to place the mint at either place, unless an appropriation u passed to reopen the .mint at New Orleans for coinar. 'It is estimated that the State of Ore- trnn ha within its limits a A'tctrit rich soil tj the amount of 2,752,000 acres. One-fourth of this area devoted to the raising of wheat, at twenty-five bushels to the acre, would result in a yield of 17,200,000 bushels per annum. Less than one-tenth of this will satisfy home consumption, leaving over fifteen million bushels for export, a source of wealth ui itself that is simply immense. A Chinaman at Wagontown, sot far from Boise City, undertook to do away with a number of bis countrymen last TOek in V wholesale way. He bought a bottle of morphine and, mixing it with some other liquor, gave it them to drink, which they did. All were very sick, but only one turned his toes to the daises.: The celestial Borgia Ibid in a now, bank, and was nearly frozen wlien found. He was lodged in jail, where be tried to kill himself and may yet cbeat the gallows. As the result of in vestigaOons which have recently been going quietly on wLh regard to the crooked whisky business on this coast, Secretary Bristow lias made an assessment of $124,644 40 100 against Charles Jost, Grove Adams, Jerome K Faro and Charles Werner, of San Franoisco, for anpaid duties on spirit? claimed to have been manufactur in 1868 and 1869, fu the Brannon street distillery. As yet no other parties have bn I assessed, and it cannot be ascer tained if any discoveries have been made pointing to further proceedings. Never belbre has the Nisqually river become euch a destroying current as last week. It has been forming a sand bar at the tery place between Olympia and Steilaeoom during the snmmer months. That bar, which was building up so slowly, Jiss now changed the chan ce's of tBe river ;SO that it is rapidly i-wtidag 'away ihe banks on the side of 'v$ river,; -The house, belonging to the ferrymen, wiuch has stood on the bank of the river for years, has been moved backW thai' the- river' may not vrs&hfe : away.- i The feny has been changed to a y:'u:l 3 i. w re-a below the old location. Webfoot Stmt Leek Her Xjtarels. The people of Oregon have grown to believe that no other country can raite as good wheat or as great an amount to the acre, as can be raised in her fertile valleys. But it would seem from some statements made in regard to wheat growhig in Eastern Washington Terri tory, by reliable authority, published in the Oregonian of Wednesday, Oregon is hardly entitled to the front seat in the number of bushels raised per acre. We have boasted of our thirty, forty and fifty bushels of wheat per acre ; but such little dabs are not to be counted at the same time with the yields from the Territory under consideration. Says the paper mentioned : Mr. C Maier, living near the base of the Blue mountains, in Walla Walla valley, in 1873, raised on a 60-acra field 4,020 bushels of wheat, an average of 67 bushels to the acre; and in 1875, from a 60-acre tract, 3,420 bushels, or 57 bushels to the acre. Mr. Masterson, residing four miles south of Walla Walla, raised on 10 acres 850 bushels 85 bnsheTs to the aore. . Mr. Kennedy, whose (arm is on Dry creek, six mies from Walla Walla bar. vested 5,252 bushels trom 150 acres 35 bushels average : and this was a volunteer crop, that is, the second crop from one sowing. These crops, fays our informant, were produced on ordinary wheat land, land that is considered good, "but no better than hundreds of thousands of acres now lying vacant in Walla Walla and Whit man counties, especially north of Snake river, where there is a country vast enough to produce more than 25,000, 000 bushels per annum, and where a failure of crops has never been known. Prtpuratloa for Indian R-ila1 a Tent Advices from Eagle Pass state that 300 Lipans, Illiois, and Commanche In dian warriors are reported by a Mexican trader at the canyon of San Rodgero, 40 miles above Remilo. It is thought the object of the gathering is depreda tions in Texas. Dispatches from Fort Clarke, says the Mexicans crossed the river 12 miles be low San Felipe, aod surprised Pond's ranche. Killed three men and captured all the arms, horses and six hundred cat tle. Companies of citizens were organ ized to follow them. Much troub'o is feared. - A horrible massacre took place near Atoka, Indian Nation. The bodies of four persons were found burned on the prairie, two of which were females. Two were burned beyond recognition. The others were whites. A pony with a lady's side-saddle, a dog and a gun; were found near by. They had all been shot. Three men who were seen riding nine miles from the spot are supposed to have done the shooting. The prairies were fired to destroy their tracks. A fight occurred, Dec. 18th, between two hunting parties of Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians about- fifty miles west ot Camp Supply, in which many on C3cb side were wounded. The fight grew out of the Arapaboes infringing on the right of the others. Tho 4th cavalry are now with tho Cheyennes, and a part ct the 5th are with the Arapaboes to keep peace. Tho superiority of wooden rails for railroad is soberly advocated by rail road superintendent in Pennrylvania. He has had experience in the wooden rail, and considers that for cheapness in costruction it excels all other kinds of rails. He says it can be placed not only firm in its bed, but rendered entirely safe and astonishingly enduring. The rails he has bad in use on a section of his road, , he says, are of sugar -maple, well seasoned, which became exceeding ly tough. The rail -he pla ces at $450 per mile, as against $4,000 for the ordinary rail. He further says tbe wooden rail has been tested in sev eral localities and it baa given entire satisfaction. The Farmer City (I1L) Journal of Nov. 14, announces the' death of the famous trotting male, Jennie, caused by the burning of a barn in which she was kept at that place: "In the. fire that burned Rathbun's livery stable - last week, was lost the most wonderful trot ting mule in tho world, as the follow ing; record will show. A mule that will trot at all is a curiosity, and one that can make as fast time as one-half the race horses in the country is some thing that was unheard ot Jin racing circles until the advent of Jennie.' She was neatly built, fifteen hands in height and was aged ten years at the time of her death. She was raised in Indiana, where Dan Willis, tesring of her trot ting abilities, tradal a team of horses for her. Although she had never bad any regular training, she made a record in Indiana of a mile heat in 2:46, and a half mile at the rato of 2:42.' """"''i noiu me iYLissouia paper tuat uiariey Buck arrived there from Walla Walla with big train and cargo of apples. Out of 10,000 pounds they were able to pick out only about 5,000 that were not touched with frost. The frozen ones were sold off cheap to those who had immediate use for them. A meeting of the Pacific Colony was held at the Barracks, Hood river, on the 7th lust., for the pnrpose.ot electing a new board of officers tor the colony. After three ballots were taken W. P. Watson was elected president -of the colony. Much wrangling ensued dur ing his election. F. S. Smith j and W. i P. Watson were elected members of Pacific Colony. ! The citizens of San Diego county are somewhat largely interested in sheep raising, and have been in the habit of sending their flocks over the lino into Mexican territory to graze there. When shea ring tune came some of the sheep owners sheared their sheep in Mexico and brought their fleeces back into the United States. When this wool came into this country it was required to pay duty, although trom sheep belonging to Americans living ' in the United States. To be obliged to pay duty was considered a hardship, and the matter was brought to the notice of Secretary Bristow by Mr. Sargent. The decision of the Secretary is that wool on the back of the sheep may come in free from duty; but that wool sheared from no matter whose sheep shall pay duty the same as any foreign wool. - The Jacksonville county jail is empty for the first time in a year. lhere was a foot of snow on the ground at Fort Klamath on the 25th ult. There will be a grand Christinas tree and a ball at Oakland on the 24th inst. The work of plastering the new capi- tol building at Salem will be commenc ed right away. A German named Joseph Francel lately perished with cold and hunger within five miles of Fort Klamath, i A new wire rope has recently been stretched across the Sautiam, at Heau's ferry, and tlie crossing is now good at that place. Dilworth C ty, of Jackson, was sen tenced to the penitentiary for ten years last week by Judge Prim, on a plea of guilty to an indictment for larceny. The boy arrested on suspicion ot steal ing coin from the residence of Dr. Belt, at Salem, when the house was burned, was discharged, the coin having been found. The roads everywhere are represented to be iu a most woeful condition for travel, and hauling of wheat to the warehouses along the river and rail roads has almost entirely ceased. ' A party of Coloradans, headed by Dick Irwin, have recently lelt Cheyenne, with teams, for the Black Hills, j Irwin spent the summer there, and was one of the first discoverers of gold in the Jen ney district. Recently L-9 returned to Colorado and cold what mining intercuts he had iu the i-eighborhood of Itosita, and has apparently left the Territory for good. The heirs of Sarah A. Bell, deceased, have filed in the office of the county auditor, a plat of the second addition to the town of Seattle. The addition is a portion of thejdonation claims of Wm. N. Bell and A. A. Denny, and is loca ted immediately in the rear of what is kno.vn as Belltown. It comprises 29 whole blocks and 16 fractional blocks, extending back to Fourteenth street. The Statesman says Independence includes fourEtores, two groceries, about six warehouses, (tbe Granger warehouse being new and 150x30,) seeds, furniture harness and milinery stores, new M. E. church, wagon-shop with steam ma chinery; livery, hotel, blacksmiths, saloon, L C.

Gilmoro and Son, I. N. Foster, W. A. Foster, J. L. Moore, and Slaughter. Mr. W. : H. Gray, ; of Klaskanine farm, furnished provisions, and tbe working patty made their camps along the trial. The mail carrier,- Thomas Grange, informs the Aetorian that he can now get through by that route very well. He lias a rough road to travel since the blow. - C Elk are very plentiful in the Me. Kenzie valley this wintor, quite a number having been taken by inexpe rienced hunters. Quite a singular scene waa presented at McKenzie bridge on the 3d,' the day the river was' at its highest. A band of 14 elk were seen icomidg down the center cf the river, and quite a number of persons' collected on the bridge and greeted them with TV- I r -1 .. . cheers, stones, etc Some ot the ani mals tried to get out of the stream but the current carried on all but two of the largest, who succeeded in making a landing. 1 Messrs. Miller and" Ross, -who have just closed a season of logging on lands of Messrs. Bun age aud Stelle, Blind slough, near Kuappa, have had a very successful season. Since the beginning, i April last, they have put in 2,200,000 feet of logs for the Portland and Knapp ton mills, all of which have turned out well.';,. ; 'y .... ,' On Monday, Jan. 3, 1876, the Co lumbia River Fishermen's ; Beneficial Aid Society will meet in Astoria at Good Templars' Hall. Tho society is still in its infancy, but has male a most excellent beginning, and good results promise to follow the organization in many ways, more than one. A new lodge of Good Templars was organized . in Eugene on Wednesday, last week, by Rev. I. Wilson, with 79 charter members. The following offi cers were elected: Dr. E. R. Geary, W. C. T.; Carrie Raukin, W. V. T.; O. A. Tibbetts, Sec'y. - - - . Several freight teams from Canyon City arrived at tho Dalles last Monday. They had a rough time. The time usu ally occupied by freight teams in travel ing between these two points is eight or nine days, but these teams were on the road 17 days. The McKenzie and its branches have been unusually high during the late freshets, and the bridge about complet ed at Blue river was carried out. A great many hordes are afflicted with the epizootic in Wasco connty. Mrs. Wilson, the postmistress at the Dalles, has resigned, the Mountaineer says. The Astoria Masonic Building and Land Association elected directors on Thursday last as follows: Oapt. George Flavel, A. Van . Duzen, Hiram Brown, C. A. McGuire, A. Montgomety, I. W. Case, John Badollet. A Mr. Thoma--, of Ashland, recently I. .1 t i nau a narrow escape irom arowinnjr himself and. team while crossing Cotton wood creek, which was running quite high during the late storms, fie had some whisky and other freight for Chinamen at Cottonwood, which haul ed from the cars at Reading, snd after being carried down the stream some distance, reached a shallow place where he cut his horses loose and got them out. r lie also, with the aid of others, secured his wagon, but. his whitky and freight took a sail down tlie Klamath river, much to the disgust of the Chinese interested. The soldiers at . Fort Klamath gave a grand masquerade ball on Thanks giving night, JSov. 2otb, the most prominent characters being "Mephis- topheles," "The Kuklnx," "The Oie- gon Granger," "The Nun and Monk," The. Traveling Advertisement," etc. There were also about fifty characters present. AlLenjoyed themselves hugely both officers and men. Mr. Seth Burch, of Cow creek, Doug las county, met with a painful accident Monday last. He was conversing with Mr. Bryan Myat.t, and his gun was standing on the muzzle, when it was accidently discharged, the ball passing through his hand, tearing away, en tirely, the knuckle of tho index finger. AO The week starts In wlrli the cheerful news of several hangings in Georgia, Missouri and "Arkansas, of two -white men and a negro, who had each committed mur der ; and it is refreshing to learn that one of the white men had 6.000 out to hear hin; say good bye and see bini kiss his hand to tho ladies we may be sure they were ladies, or they wouldn't have been there, and to observe with what composure he . smoked his last cijjar. Such exhibitions are so delightful tor the ladies and so edifying to children and youths of either sex. Next to-order we have fires the burn ing of two cotton and sugar boots, one on trie "Mississippi, the other in Texas. by which a quarter of a million of dollar worth was destroyed, with less than half insurance on the property.. -The gentle torch of the aspiring incendiary 'lid the flaming trick. ; Bold robberies take rank next, and Hie exploit of the several masked men who robbed the express on the train between Kansas City and St. Louis Sunday morning has precedence. . They put a pistol to the Agent's bead, made him get into a box. and closed It on him. They got away with money , and valuables to the amount of 15.000, and safely got away themselves. The Agfnt was released before the train reached St. Xouis. ; 8AN Diego, Dec. 17. Sheriff Hunsaker returned from San Rafael last night where he had been with a requisition for the Campo bandits, t He 'was received by tlie authorities there cordially and welcomed, and the Governor Pacheco's . requisition, authorizing the prisoners, If caught, to be delivered to the sheriff at tbe line, and the alcalde organized a posse to assist in hunt ing them down. - From the sheriff we learu that Leclaire and Soso were murdered on the 30th of November previous to the raid on Campo. i Lopez Is believed to be the leader of these bandits as he had not been seen since tbe 20th.

There is almost universal dissatisfaction with tlie Speaker's Committee selections, nnil MiU rlismntontla heard in a marked degree by the California. ucgmton. jriper s appointment on tne committee on commerce, and LuttrelPs on tne committee on Pacific Hallroads, are acceptable, but Wigginton's on Ter ritories, and Page, on Indian affairs, are not considered suitable. Luttrell, by length of service, was entitled to a chair manship ot some committee, and wanted aiso to do on the committee on naval or Indian affairs. The Pacific Railway committee is strongly in favor of the Texas Pacific project. Chairman Lamar and Messrs. Throckmorton. Hancock and O'- A ell voted against Holmnn's anti-subsidy resolution. Walker, ot Virginia, who re frained from voting on this resolution, is known to be in favor of Scott's bill, and the same thing is considered certain of Atkins and Pratt, who also -dodged the vote for Holman's resolution, is likewise considered qnte certain to vote for the Texas Pacific bill.

The following is from the Nevnrln Tribune: This morning at daylight the citizens ot Carson were startled by learning that a man was found hanging by the neck to the gate of S. C Wright's cemetry. Numbers forthwith rushed to the spot, and there hung dead the body of a mau, wun a paper pinned to tils Breast, with the figures 601 written thereon. The man Vho bad guttered the death penalty at tlie hands of an outraged public bears the name of Burt, m.d was one of the witnesses who testified against DettJing during his trial in the district court. Tt '!! be re membered that Dettling entirely contra c dicted the testimony of Burt, and asserted that he was led into ways that are dark by said Burt and his partners. Latnor and Piercy. Dettling was convicted on his own admission ; but there was not a man who listened to the testimony of Burt but believ ed that he whs the greater villain of the two and the concocter of nil tlie various plots that had been carried into execution. We understand that Burt has been reput edly recommended to leave town, but disre garded the warning. Yesterday, so rumor has it, Burt, Piercy and Iitnor received final notice. The two latter concluded that it vas well to depart, and so cleared out. Burt refused to go, giving as a reason that lie had no money. , Coin was offered hlni, but he, refused to take it, remarking. "Ti.ey can't get me out of this town unless they pack tne out. Every night lately de predations have been committed and petty thetts perpetrated. -r. Only last evening an attempt was made to fire tho soap factory iu the southeastern part of town. This and tlie robbery ot the night before, doubtless determined our; citizens to summary ven geance on one they knew to be a culprit, and so make of him an example that might deter his associates from further outrages. From a gentleman who has charge ot and sleeps in the Curry engine house ; we learn tiiat about half-pawt one o'clock this iiiorn ine. he heard a number of people whisper ing in the engine house, and peeping from his room, saw men with dark lanterns evi dently seeking some one. The meii were disguised so that our informant could not recognize any pf them. It may be; ob served that the man Burt and a few others, had lor some time slept In tlie engine house. After s ine U tie time had elapsed the object for which the masked men were In search, was discovered, and in a low deep voice, one of them called out : "Burt, get up, and be damned quick about it. Get your clothes on. for you are wanted." No doubt Burt realized the situation, and without any ado roe and donued his clothes, and was led away by Lis captors as noiselessly as If ali were but a dream. Burt was conveyed to the grave yard and t'.iere hung by the neck. We learn from respectable citizens Of this town that Burt was considered to be a very disreputable character when living at Hamilton, White Pine couity, and that by Interference of our Informant, he was saved from death at tbe hands of the people of Hamilton, for conduct similar to that practiced by htm In this town, and further, when lie left White Pine he made nil escape from jail. Ho was a native of New York, aged 2' years. - ' CIIAS.
