peared in this office yesterday, with
another interesting journalistic rec
ord, in the ahape of "The Daily all

ing date July 2, 1863, and full enough
of war-time insolence to fire an old

from it own peculiar atandpoint.

host of good friends here who will
regret-his leaving the city, while they
will be glad enough to know that he
is bettering hinuelf in a business way
If Mr. Carney ha made choice of a
successor to Mr. Heilborn In this im
portant place, he has not yet an
nounced it. and will nrobahlv

Postmaster Carney Now-
Frank C. Carney received his offic

probable they will be approved with
out delay there, as soon as they gre
reached in the routine of business,
and then Mr. Carney will take charge
of the office. It may be aeveral week
yti however," before he takes active
charge. Mr. Carney said last evening

The Electric Line
From all accounts that tan h. ...
cured there seems not the i;rht...
doubt that the men interested in th.
proposed electric line now feel as
sured that the finances will he f,.,(,
coming the moment the rights of way
rc .., .ecured. This is good news.
The nghta of way are said to be in
excellent shape, and the only thing
to be done now is to olck nn the
and ends. While all of. the necessary
inp, nave not yet been secured it is
understood that SO per cent r,f h,.,
nave, and it was agreed that the fi
nances were to be secured when that
extent of the right of way had been
ootained. Upon the whole it is said
the property owners have hern n..h
lie spirited and generous, though one
or two have held out and refused
give. Virtually all of the
trouble. It is stated that it may be
riy owners gave with but little
necessary to condemn the strip across
tne lands of one man. Perl,. i,
eity has hardly beKun to realise hn
near to an actuality the street car line
is. While the council h.n nm hut...
ed in granting the franchise over the
city streets it is only too willing to
do this, after all the little details are
ixcd up properly.
According to friends or Dr. Pea
cock who have visited him at St.
Mary'i hospital he is eager for i
speedy recovery so that he may re
turn to Cathlamct and take up his
affairs there. His trial, wherein he
is charged with having brought about
the death of the Longtaine girl, is set
for February 24 and it ia understood
he ii anxiously awaiting this to take
place, for he seemi to feel assured
that it will be a very easy matter to
convince everybody that he is entire
ly innocent of the accusation.
Various men of Cathlamet whn
have been in the city during the pasfl
tew days express the opinion that it
will be "impossible" to find a convic
tion in the case: and upon too of thi
they expresi the same belief in re.
gard to Mrs. Longtaine, for inas
much as she is a woman." it seems
to be a pretty general conviction in
the Washington town that no inrv
will ever convict he'r for her deliber
ate attempt to llay Dr. Peacock.
It seems that Mr. Lonetaine h-,.
also made open threats acainst the
physician, and Dr. Peacock's eager
aesire to get back home shows that
ne apparently has not been intimirtat
ed in the least by the bullets that
already have been sent into his body
or oy tne tallc of the husband. At
St. Mary's hospital it is said that n-
Peacock is getting along very well
ana it is presumed he will be ready
to leave for home inside of two
weeki.
Report were brought down last
evening of another episode at Cath-
lamet yesterday that threatened more
trouble of traeical nature. Un
Thomas Dorris, the unfortunate wom
an who waa adjudged insane the
preceding day, was yesterday taken
to the asylum, and her father, J. P.
Wil?on, was kept under surveillance
by the sheriff because of the alleoa.
, " -o
tion that he was threatening to kill
the husband of the unfortunate worn.
an. He is said to think that the hus
band had something to do with the
mental trouble that came upon his
daughter, but the entire community
agrees in statins- that Mr. Dorris .a.
a model husband. The old man is
said not be very clear in his heart at
times, and his talk of yesterday ia all
iaia to that, according to a Cathlamet
gentleman who talked of the matter
yesterday.

In a letter to this paper in resard
to aome of his advertising, Herman
Wise adds a bright account of where
he is and what t good time he is bay
ing back East. The letter was writ
ten from the Palmer House. Chicano.
and Mr. Wise stated that he was then
in the midst of a snowstorm. In an
other letter to i friend Mr. Wise
gives a snappy account of his errand
back there and many here will be
doubtless glad to read what is writ
ten. In part he says:
" . . I determined to personal
ly hasten the shipment of my spring
stock, for I learned by experience
that letter writing does little good;
up-to-date merchants from every
where flock to Chicago and New
York and express the cream of the
new things to their respective locali
ties, as each wishes to be the first to
show the new crup, so here I am in
the midst of a snowstorm." .
Mr. Wise states that the styles for
spring and summer show many radi
cal changes, especially for young men
and adds:
"The time is fast coming when
each up-to-date firm desiring to keep
to the front will be obliged to have a
man here in the center of things,
where the bratnest designers get up
new things continually, and I am eo-
ing to arrange to have such a repre
sentative here to look after my inter
ests, thus getting the new thines as
fast as they come out. After a couple
of days more I shall run over to New
York and gather some more cream
from the style shops there and hurry
home. I enclose a few verses from
the Record-Herald to which I have
added one of my own. ..."
The verse that Mr. Wise added of
his own composition is as follows:
Pays to Advertise
When other clothiers tackle
Old Herman in this town.
They find themselves outwitted,
For Wise is hard to down;
Before they know what's happened,
He hikes toward the East.
And for his many patrons
Selects a clothinir feast:
The choicest of fabrics
Made up to please the eves
Backed up by honest dealing proves
it pays to advertise. - , .
