There is a hotel, two salcous. and a warehouse, with a dozen or so Mexican shacks, and all I could see in any of them was about a dozen 'kids' and a sewing ma chine. Most of the people seem to make .their living by gather ing moss, which they bale and store in the warehouse. Along the beach there are thousands of sea urchins, with long, black quills sticking out all over them like a hedgehog, which makes it disagreeable to go in swimming.

Some person or persons, known to the officers, broke through this piece of paper and appropriated every thing within reach. One of the authorities said. yesterday: "There seems to be a regular organization of voting boys, numbering . some fifteen or more, who : plan all manner of mischief. . They have given the officers more trouble recentlv than all other law-breakers com bined. The time is ripe when they should be taught a lesson.

Citizons of tiia eity of Salem are again being troubled by hold-up men and burg lars. Tuesday's Statesman tells of the experience ot Mrs. J. W. Lewis, formerly of Corvallis.with. a bold highwayman: "The date of the attempted hold-up was a week 'ago last Saturday night, and the place, Ohetueketa street, a short dis tance east of the Catholic church. "It was about 8 o'clock-ia the eveinng, and Mrs. Lewis had started dswn town to call -oa. relatives, aad when nearing the Catholic church was accosted by a man, who demanded nfoney. of her.
