An Appoal T.Utou.
Our readers will remember that a day
or two ago wo mentioned the sentence
of ox-SheritV Dale, of Yamhill county,
and that it would confine him in the
penitentiary twelve years in onlor to
satisfy tho dt-crce of the court. A mo

now t!i enso hat been appealed to tho
Supreme Court. While waiting for the

ALncUof Itnowlods.
Sevoral instancjs of lato have boon
brought to our notice of the great incon
venience nnd annoyaneo that emigrants
nud others uniting our city luivo been
subjected to by tho imperfect knowledge
possessed by liotel proprietor of the !e
parturo of" traius anil liver steamer.
This is a poor condition of aflaiis, and
nro calculated to lessen rather than im
provo our iemtation as a wide awake
city. Every hotel ought to have a daily
bulletin of all departing trains ar.d boats,
nnd should also possess a p'ain and in
toligiblo map of the entire Stato. This
would bo but littlo oxtr.t trouble, and
would bo an inftnitestmal boou to the
traveling public.
A Sad Ecroavcment.
Last evening, Mildred A , beloved
wife of Capt. Geo. A. I'ease, died nt the
family residence in this city, after on
illness of thvee weohs. All that human
skill, love and kind net a could do wore
insufficient to ward oil the blow which
was descending from the tickle of time.
Tho decrco had gone forth, the Cat of
nature was inexorable nnd ltut evening
tho spirit took its flight as peacefully as
the slumbers of a babe. Ska leases to
the bereaved husband tho care of a littlo
boy and girl who have the heartfelt
sympathy of their many hundreds of
frieuds. Mrs. Pease was tho daughter
of James Moore, nn old pioneer of Ore
gon, she being but fivo years old when
alio crossed the plains in 1847. She was
n womnn of many virtues, a kind-hearted
and indulgent motbtr ncd the littlo ones
tli9 has left behind will greatly miss her
cheerful presence.

SliSbtly Injured.
This morning wlrilo Dr. W. H. SaWor
was driving up First street in his buggy,
answering n hasty summons, a littlo
girl named Sohn who"n aistera nro pro
prietors of the St. Louis hotel, ran from
the hotel directly in front of the horse
and was felled to tho street. It occurred

checked tlw animal, spiang out of the
buggy ar.d picking up tho child can led
it into the hotel where he scon hud hor

A. Campbell, of Milwaukie, was broken

Judge Wait's. In tho trunk was a good
suit of clothes, a watch and chain, a
shirt stud, eight or ten dollars in money,
about two hundred riollar.i' woith of

difficulty the trunk wai found, tracks
having been discovered leading in its di
rection by Judge Wait, Tho thieves
had ovidently been interrupted in their
search, ns tho monoy and notos were not
taken, but the watch nnd chain, shirt
s'ud nnd pocket knifo were misblng.
From the tracks it was evident that tho

young men, and as such had been seen
in the vicinity loth before and after the
robbery, wo expect to soon hear of their
arrest.
