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

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

A Washington special says a very
strung pressure will bo brought to bear
to secure the rejection ot the recom

place the mint at either place, unless an

'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

sick, but only one turned his toes to the
daises.: The celestial Borgia Ibid in a

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

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.

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.'

Walla Walla with big train and cargo

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

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 week starts In wlrli the cheerful
news of several hangings in Georgia,

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

delightful tor the ladies and so edifying to
children and youths of either sex.
Next to-order we have fires the burn

that there are at least 100 well armed men

camp fires are seen nightly in Treate val

Cakson. Dec. 17. 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. - '
