Fatimeb: Having noticed your Invita tion to correspondents, I wjhJered if a line or two on the abOvS subject would be out of place. The subject was brought home to my mind while listening to a conversation between two lady friends, both mothers, In referenco to another who had prohibited her daughters from reading the New Northwest, I was somewhat surprised to hear one of them, for whom I had entertained high esteem for intelligence and good sense, ex press herself as opposed to parents using their authority in such matters, and con demning the aotion of the lady in question as an infrlngment of the rights of her daughters. I was surprised at the assertion then, and, being a mother, and having daughters of my own whose outcome in life depends much upon a Just appreciation of my own responsibility in directing and controlling, have given the subject a careful considera tion, and have come to the conclusion that I would be Just as gultty, conscientiously, for placing a great deal of tho writings of the present in the handsof mydauhters, whose Insidious poison is thus to be instilled into their young and susceptible- minds, as to place tempting food before them drugged with poisons that would provo certain death. Have parents no right to control the as sociations of their children? Iftheyhavo, books and newspapers are their associates, and possess powerful Influence in molding the mind and forming the character of tho young. Shall, then, parents pay no atten tion to this important educator, whether It bears the right stamp, or notT Trusting that this will direct somo abler pen to this subject, I close.

The curtain roso this morning upon tho last net of tho fearful tragedv which bpgau with the tiro in Brook lyn theater Tuesday evening. Spec'al ser vices will imlend be held nt the ditibrent places to-morrow In accordance with tho programme, but the burial of tho bodies of uie victims llus ailornoon was the titling end to ouo of tho most doloful histories of mod ern time. ThU morning all the bodies in tho moiguo were removed to the temporary doa.l housfi in tho old market, whoro there were in all 100 charred corpsos. A hundred collins with German silver mountings were brought in and placed upon tbo iloor, and into them tho unidentified anil destitute dead wore placed, l'ilty-six hearses and under takers' wagons drew up at tho cntriflico In Adams street, and tho remains were lifted in. There wore two colUus each in a number of vohielcs. The throng about the market was vory large and the utmost excltemont pre vailed. Shortly after 1 o'clock tho ghastly cortego stalled through Boerum placo and then entered Schermorhorn street. Hun dreds of men, womon and ohildren followed, rushing along the sidewalk In a state or graat agitation. When the hearses and wag. ons reached Schormerbom street, they were fcrmod In a parallel lino and thero was a do lay of throoquartors of an hour. Although tho weather was bitterly cold, and a cutting wind blowing a gale, tbo neighborhood of Schermorhorn and FJathush avenue was crowded with participants and sympathetic spectators. Tho sadness In the faces of wo men wailing on tho pavements was vory marked. The procession moved trom the head of Schermorhorn street into Flatbutsh avenuo amid general mourning, nnd timed by tho measured- roll of drums and by tho Qtfulsobs of ilmost broken hearts within the houses and without them far along tbo wide avenue nnd across the broad streets. Many an eye was moist and many a lip quivering as the dead was borno to Green wood, leaving behind them sacrod memories and cruel poverty which will not be effaced, and by their very, stillness appealed more loudly than the noise of words in behalf of their stricken and faratsned'lovod ones for a wloo nnd Koneronrcbarlty. ,-- " There was a herot-nnt, crowd at ireen-w-j .tiii cortege passed niriHigtnnio gate. The bell in tbo tower tolled mournfully. On either side alone the Datwavs on tho hill. sides and Invading private plots people were Micro, xurumgH) mo ieu inaiunerai party proceeded directly to Battlo avenue where, about 160 yards from the entrance of the cemetry, a trench had been prepared for the reception or the dead. The great orowds which were met near and Just within' the cemetry were formed about the vast grave. Tli? Mjjht bein on the slore of a ijfl and uotnp'.uloly exposed, the cold was almost in sufferable, but still peode held their places. There was no delay In removing the re mains from the hearses and wagons and de positing them in the circular trench. The Rev. Dr. Schenck read the beautiful burial service of tho Episcopal Churob, which was iistoned to attentively by those who were with In reach of his voice. There was an impressive sadness, mingled with the fcolemnlty of the scene. Hundreds of people wept, tears freezing on their obeekB as they Issued from their eyes. After the reading of the services, Rev. of the Unltorl on Church, of our Saviour, addressed the assemblage. Rev. Mr. Stuart, a Welch Baptist clergyman, offered a fervid prayer, at tho conclusion of Putman's romarks, and the services were tbon brought to a close by benediction by Rev. Joseph Odell. The German Prune. Editob Fahmkii- It has long been a ques tion in my mind as to whether the Prune sold In this Stato as the Gorman Prune was the genuine article. So I sent Hast for It, along with about 25 otbor varlotles of fruit. Those that I havo just received for the Ger man I'runo aro altogether a dlflorent tree to those sold hero for that fruit. Respectfully, J. II.SrrrrLKMliin. Alterativo will be found to be a most effec tive modlclno.

Kowlo A Sons: Gentlemen I was troubled with Dyspep sia for thirty years, and tried several medi cines advertised fur the cure of this distress ing complaint without deriving any benefit from them.

Letter from tho Upper Columbia. Dayton, Columbia Co., W. T. Ed. Fahmkr: The subject of annexation of Walla Walla and Columbia counties to Or egon has been agitated Jfor some time, and while I do not propose In this to argue for or against annexation but the clerk of tho weather seems to have concluded it Is an ac complished fact, for there has been more rain fallen this fall than ever knowu before at this season of the year. Streams have been very high, and many bridges have been swept away; and the roads are In a bad condition for trade, but the rains have'been a great benefit to stock men, as It has oausod the grass to grow finely, aud stock of all kinds are doing woll especially shoep. This county Is sottling up quite fait, Dayton, the county seat, Is one of the liveliest inland towns In the Territory. The) woolen-mills located here aro doing a good buslnoss, and are the pride of the county. Tho Dayton flouring mills make excellent quality of flour, tho most of which is ahlppod to San Francisco. Wheal Is worth 40 cents a bushel. It cost us half of our wheat to gst the other half on board tho ship at Portland, but we hopo for better limes when the great Colum bia rivor will bs opoaed from Wullula to the sea, and we trust that It will not be many years till steamers will go from Wallulata Astoria without change, R.

Dimlck on potatoes, in which ho says he raised one weighing 0i lbs. and 6 lbs, Is the largest that 111 Us has any rwxird of. Now, that is boblnd time, for In tho fall of 18S2 there was a potatos ratted on Tualatin Plains, In this State, Washington comity, on the place owned by II. Lindsay, now of this plaoo, which weighed eight lb,, variety, Blue Mesbannock. Again, in Marlon coun ty, thore was one some yearn ago, same kind, weight eight lbs. Lstor, there was one raised one mllo from hero samo variety weighing VA lbs,; I saw it weighed. This year there was one raised about six or seven miles from hero weighing 7 lb?, So you can toll Mr, Dimlck bo la pot ahead yet, especially ai these potato wois Talked on common prairio laud and some of them without any manure, W.
