Simms place, on the Colombia mountain, the crows are acting in a peculiar manner. They are building their nests as usual, but instead of leaving them open on top they are all enclosed, except a small entrance on the side. As far as we can learn, no one has ever before seen such "doings." A family named Smith, who had been living in a tent below John Day, lost their little boy last week under distress ing circumstances, . The little fellow had eaten a wild parsnip which he found in that vicinity, and only lived a few hours thereafter. He was buried in the Catholic cemetery at Canyon City. A' typographical error was made in Saturday's issue in relation to the size of the armory. Instead of 60x11, it should read 60x110. The error was ap parent on its face, but it is exasperating to an editor, when lie is bragging about anything to have the compositor belittle his efforts in such a ridiculous manner. Still the compositor is a very convenient object of blame sometimes when the editor makes a blunder. A meeting of citizene is called for to morrow night, to discuss the matter ot the chemical engine.

Mrs.'Narcissa White Kinney made a forty minute speech on temperance, filled with powerful arguments, woven together gracefully, and delivered with a power of eloquence and clearness of voice at once pleasing and convincing. There was nothing dry, fanatical or nar row in the whole address. It was broad, practical and unanswerable. A grand plea for the protection of the home and fireside. Report of Mrs. Kinney's lec ture at state fair copied from Salem Statesman. There is occasion in this city for a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. There are suitable laws on the statute books to enable them to accom plish their purposes in a peaceful legal way. There -is a great deal of talk going on in the city oer the conduct of a cer tain expressman who mercilessly beats his horses without provocation. It has caused ranch indignation and threats are freely made that a stop . must be put to it. The Chronicle will encourage any effort in this line where the cause is just. A Goldendale exchange perpetrates the following: A certain man of this place, formerly of Long Beach, who has a gold watch, went to The Dalles to spend a few days on business, and while there something proved to be the matter with his time piece; and with all the tinkering he could do, in vain he could not find the difficulty. So going to a jeweler they found that a bedbug had secured itself in the wheels 1 Fact. It was a mystery ; to him how it had got there, but the jeweler said it . mast have crawled in between the ticks I BACK FROM "MAZAMAVILLE. Cradlebangh and Party Rita From the MlnlngXamp. The party who left The Dalles about two months since for a small placer mining region northwest of Mt. Adams, returned Saturday night. The party consisted of Messrs. J. H. Cradlebaugh of The Dalles, J. L. Langille and H. Ledahoff Hood River, and John McCoy, Wesley Locke., Jetbro Locke and John Darke, White Salmon. The trip was laborious and slow, and was made for the greater part of the way over snow fields and mountains. Though only about 100 miles distant from the mouth of White Salmon river, they were 24 days in reaching "Mazamaville," as thy nave designated tne camp. Jnisia, aocut o miles irom Trout lake, about So miles northwest from Mt. Adams, and situated on McCoy creek. While the camp is only about 3,000 feet above sea level, it is In a triangular space at the base of three mountains, whose summits are on a level with the snow line of Mt. Adams. To reach it the summit of a range between the Lewis river and the Cispus must be crossed, and here the gold-seekers found the greatest depth of snow. Returning, theie was seven feet more snowfall here, than on the out bound trip, or a total depth of 20 to 25 feet. It. will not be before July 1st that a horse can traverse the route made by the men. The. seven comprising the party were therefore compelled to do their own packing. They accomplished this with sleds, four of them being con structed, loaded with their bedding and camp supplies. It is little wonder their progress was slow. - The trip calls for the greatest fortitude and endurance. As regards the merit of the gold field, little can be positively stated. There is gold there, for Mr. Cradlebangh brought a sample of it back in a small vial, bat on account of the ground being so thor oughly saturated with water, bed rock could not be reached. Mr. Cradlebaugh says it will pay wages, bat the area is limited and the ground all located. li Unwarranted Removal. Bennett Wins. a teleVi T fternoonN-' is Who can fathom the mysteries of poll tics? Civil service " reform is making little headway in Salem. Mr. D. J, Cooper has been discharged from the position as farmer at the state prison for no reason, tie nas held that position just six months, moving with his family from The Dalles to accept it. This caused him great expense, that of mov ing and refitting amounting to $500 jno Detter reason lor nis removal can oe stated than that a Marion county man had to have it. Mr. Cooper did his work well. Stock are in good condition, fences in good repair, barns kept very neat and clean, farm implements all kept boused, and all work kept up to date. He is now in a strange comma nity, oat ot tanas and with a family on bis hands. His business relations here are broken op and his removal to Salem has proven a curse instead of a blessing And there is no remedy, Subscribe for The Chronicle. Judge A. S. Bennett received gram from Washington this afternoon announcing that the Skottowe cases had been affirmed by the supreme court of the United Stales. These cover a pe riod of three or four years time in the various trials. Beginning with Judge Bradsbaw, they were carried to the supreme court of Oregon, where the judgment was affirmed, and then to Washington, Mr. Bennett winning every time. The corporation's attorneys in Washington City were Senator Thur ston and John F. Dillon, two of the leading legal lights in the United States.
