Washington, April 7 A telegram has been received at tbe department of state from United States Minister Hicks, dated Lima, April 5, which conveys the infor matinn tbat at a place in Pern, tbe name of wbico is not given, a moo auacitea tbe Masonic lodge, sacked the bnilding and-burned the fixture, in tbe street. Incidentally the Uni'ed States consulate at the plane was invaded, its turmsbings destroyed, and tbe United states consol shot in Ibe foot. A tquad ot Peru ian police looked oo while tbe mob per tormed its work, and oflVred no inter ference. The farther phrticulars have been transmitted by mail. There is bnt one United states consulate in fern. hich is at Call no, to which position Mr. Aqaila Dougherty, ot Illinois, was appointed Jane 2. 1890. and still stands on the record as consul. Under him there are six consular agents, who are paid by fees. Secretary Gresbam, after a confer ence with tbe president, sent the follow mg telegram to Minister Hicks: Protest against the failure of the an 'bori tie. to afford protection to the coo enlate, and, it facts are well established, ask an expression of regret, prompt pros ecution of the guilty parties, and repar ation for iojary to American property or person. A murderer Iiynehed. San Bernardino, Cal., April '7 About 1 o'clock tbis morning a large body of men marched to tbe country jail and called on Jailer Brown, who slept inside, to come forth and unlock the door. Tbe latter refused, and warned the crowd not to attempt an entrance. Tbe crowd, finding Brown won d not un lock tbe door, secured a large iron girder, wbicb they nsed as a battering ram in an attempt to break down the door. , The jail is new and. tbe door withstood their eliorts. aud their attention was turned, to tbe window, and, alter a few attempt, tbe bars were broken and an entrar.ee gained Inside chisels and hammeis were brought into requisition nnd the doors ot ibe cell of Fueo, the double murdrrer, were forced open, and Fucu was taken out aud marched to the rail way bridge acrbss Warm Creek and banged. There was no excitement, and but lew ot tbe mob were maked. Tbe murderei took matters coolh, offering no tealslslce, and ju.t before beiBg swung bim, and be smoked in apparent uncon cern, ihere is a general teelmg ot satis - faction, as he undoubtedly deserved bis fate Faluha, Wash., in Ashes. Pomebot, Wash , April 7 Fire broke out in the city of Pataba last night at 1 A. M. and inside of half an hour tbe business part of the town was in ashes. Harford & Son lost their entire stock ot hardware, valued at $12 000 and insured tor $8000 Peoning & B nrnhauser's loss is f 18,000: insurance, $13,000 S Key nolde' entire stock, including household goods and groceries, was destroyed; in sorance, fiuuu. A strong wind was b'owing at the time, so it was impossible to save anything. S, Spfeddin, who roomed in the rear of Peoning sod Bournbaasi-rs' store, was the first to dis. cover tbe urel Tbe smoke awakened and almost strangled bim. He escaped wit b only a pair of pants and shoe.. O Peoning, who was s'eepiog io an adjoin ing room, escaped with only his night- clothes. S. Reynolds and bis brother. who were sleeping in tbe rear part of their store, bad a narrow escape. Tbe city looks gloomy, as most of the busi ness was done- in the burnt block. It is thought to be the work of an incendiary. Summer la Chleaxo. - "Chicago, April 7 This was the warm est day Chicago has experienced during tbe month of April-in 20 years. The meicnry stood at 83 degrees., and a hot wind blew from the south at 30 miles an hour. The flea ted spell, however, was broken tbis evening by a bail storm. which passed over tbe southern portion ot tbe city, breaking several thousand dollars' worth of window glass. This morning the wind leveled tbe Indiana hotel, a new frame structure near the world's fair grounds. As tbe building came down it flattened a one story build ing adjoiuiog Anoth-r building hold ing a panorxma, which was not sumcient ly braced, was also tnrned into a pile of kind ing wood. 1 be river not to be out done by tbe - atmosphere, showed np about 3 o'clock this morning with a tidal wave lour feet high, wbicb tpre several vesse s from their moorings and dam aged them considerably. The cause is uid to have been sudden squalls on tbe lake. . . Hnll Attack Horn-Union Hen. LquDON, April 7 At Hull today tbe striking union dock-laborers, by threats, surceeded in driving off non union men from working on all vessels, except tbe Montebello There they met a stubborn resistance, and a general, fight ensutd Finally tbe non- unionists were driven off and tbe strikers undertook to capture tbe steamer. Tbe police interfered and. after another hot fight drove the mob of strikers from tbe dock, bnt they then at tacked he building in which tbe ffices of the ship-owner.' Federa'ion is located, with stones Another bght with tbe po lice resulted and 'be mot of strikers was finally broken np and scattered Groups along tbe water front. are still in an ugly humor, however, aud the authon ties in Hnticipation of further trouble, have a-ked for military aid. Tbe Dockers' union has issued a call to tbe union of London, Liverpool and elsewhere to as siBt in the tight against the shipping federation. Tbe entire shipping trade is at a standstill. Kloe Sen H.1I ed. Joltet, 111, April 7 An accident oc curred on the drainage channel at Romeo about 6 o'clock tbis evening, by which nine men were killed and six severely wouoded. ' A severe wind and rain storm about that time caused tbe men to take refuge in the engine bouse A huge can ri lever was at tbe south end of the track and tbe engine bouse at tbe north end. The machine was carelessly left u a fas tened, and as tbe wind increased to a gate it started down the tracK toward the engine-bouse 'n which tbe men hid taken refuge. When the machine reachrd the end of the track tbe top part top pled over on -tbe engine- house. As a result nine men were killed and sx se verely ii'jared. Tbey are all Italians, ex cept tbe loremen, who was bamoel Korus. ot this city. Tbe cantilever was so badly wrecked tbat it is a total loss, as is an other which was blown oyer a mile north. tint no damage was doBe in tbe latter case. Bank Bobbers not Found. Bakes Crrr, Or, April 7 McCarty's house at Haines was searched, and to tbe great surprise of tbe officers no trace was found of Tom and. Bill, the bank robbers Finding the horses near is looked upoa ruse 'adopted oy me ingitives io throw the detectives on their guard. They conld have -been secreted in the vicinity and perhaps are awaiting a lav orable opportunity to get out of the country by rail, as great difficulty would be exoerienced on horseback, as tbe streams are badly swollen. The reported capture of Kid McCarty at Boise City is not true. He is supposed to be in Ari zona. Eck McCarty is now in jail here, who assisted Bill and Tom to escape. He killed a man wity a corkscrew in a variety theater in this city two years ago. 1 d co'nmbns IMsrover America. Buffalo, N. T., April 7 Right Rev William Stevens Perry, bishop of Iowa, last night preached the first of a series of Columbian sermons at St. Paul's church He said we owed nothing t Columbus, Spain or Rome for tbe discovery, which belonged to John . Cahot, who salted under tbe patronage of King Henry VIII, and that th discovery was made in den ance of Pope Alexander VII. Tbe ser mon was strictly anti-Uolumbian and anti-Romanisb, and has created consider able excitement. Konnding; Hp the Cattle Thelves. Great Falls, Mont., April 7 -Sheriff Hamilton bag arrived from tbe Kibbey region, 40 miles east, with two more cat' tie tbeives, Fioyd Tinsley and Arthur Nebei, charged with belonging to the same gang as the English brothers, and Leslie Watson, wbo were brought in March 30. Yiosley and JSebel were ar raigned, and are bebring the bars with tbe previouslv captured lingleaders. Tbe authorities will continue tbe round-op until the Kibbey country is rid of that outfit tbat has so lecg infested tbat re gion. A X arrow Escape. Walla Walla, Wash., April 7 A 7- year old girl named Barrett had a nar row escape from drowning tbis afternoon Sbe was on her way to schorl, and tell in a creek, in which ibe water was very high. She floated down stream about SO vards. Eer companion gave tbe alarm, and a lady named Zelirjger came to tbe rescue, and after a hard . struggle suc ceeded in getting ber out. Lost Her Life for Ten Cents. Oakland Cal., April 7 Mrs. Ida Lewis, 80 years old, was struck and killed by a lecal train last night. In crossing the track sbe dropped 10 cents, and stopped to pick it up whilp a train was ajproaclung.. Mrs. Lewis was a cripple, and walked with crutches. She was a well known character in Oakland. Her nroudest boast was tbat she had seven sons in tbe war of tbe Rebellion . Felt Arrogs The Lake. St Joseph, Mich., April 7 A tremen dous tidal wave swept in over tbe beach from Like Michigan last night, tbe water extend ng back over tbe sand a distance of 600 or 700 feet. Tbe water in the river also rose to a height of from four to fiye feet aboye its normal stage. The big wave swept every movable thing before it. Tbe wave receded within a few minutes after it came in. jDmwned in the Worth Santlam . Albany, Or., April 8 Word comes that W. W. Trexler, jumped from the wagon-bridge over tbe ' North Santiam at Stay ton to day and was drowned. He wa. walking to Stayton with W'Hian Morria and Joe Carey When into the middle of tbe bridge be leaped over into tbe water, falling about 30 feet from tbe shore. He swam down stream 150 yards, sank and did. not pome to the surface. A search was commenced at once. Tbe body is not yet found. He lived on a farm two miles 'from Stayton, in Linn county.- He had a wife and three cbu dren and 'was 60 vears old.' Burned In a Mine.' Welksbarbe. Pa, April 8 District snperinrebdent William Samuel, of tbe Lehigh Valley Coal Company, entered tbeDorrance sbaft late yesterday after noon lor tbe purpose of exploring a nom ber of worked out chambers, which tbe company contemplated reopening. At midijigbt, tbe superintendent not having arrived home, the officials at the time were notified. A searching party went into the sbaft and fouud it on fire. At 10 o'clock tbis morning his charred re mains wen- found . It U presumed be isroited pocket g with bis lamp and tbe timber caught fire. Burned m a House. Uttca, N. Y. April 8 The residence of George H. Tatcott, at Talcottville, Lew. s county, supposed to have been struck by lightning some time during the night, was burned- to tbe ground. The house was situated about a mile east of tbe little village and was formerly a wayside tavern, the neighbors did not know tbat it had burned nntil after day light this morning. They at once visited the place snd made the discovery tbat Mr. Talcott and bis mother, . a lady over 70 years of age, had been burned, their charred and blackened corpses being found in tbe ruins. Two Bystanders Killed. - Puebla, Tex., April . 8 A terrible tragedy, tbat resulted in tbe killing of two persons and "dangerously wounding two others, has been reported to tbe po lice. Louis Rogers and Francisco Rod rigues, rival" for tbe band of a womar., became involved in a desperate quarrel. A number of shots were exchanged, 'hich went wide of tbeir mark, but one of tbem struck Anita Martines. kill ing ber and another bystander named Guerrero. Two other spectators were struck with bullets and probably fatally wounded. - Here Karthqnahes. ' . Albuquerque,N. M .April 9 Las Lu na. Belin and several other towns along the Rio Grande river are all in excite ment over what appears to have been an ioiaottle earthquake. Four Rhocks have been distinctly felt since Thursday. Tbe one this morning was attended by an oroioious rumbling underground,' and wui of three seconds duration, duriDg which time eight or ten vibrations were felt. Glass was broken, dishes rattled. and a few frame bonses in towns swayed as if shaken by a terrible windstorm. Killed Hl Wire and H inane If. Bangor, Me., April 8 And; Campbell farmer living five miles south of tbis place, was divorced from bis wife some time ago. Recently Mrs Campbell hired a man to work on tbe farm. Through jealousy or some other reason Campbell did not approve of tbe arrangement. He called on his divorced wife yesterdav, and a hot altercation resulted, ending in Cam obeli drawing a revolver and shoot ing Mrs. Campbell and himself, both dy ing instantly. - Will Try to starve lioefce Out. Paris, Tex., April 8 There is do change in the state of tbe Choctaw war. The militia is at Goodland, apparently making no move. The leadeis keep pirkets ont, as if Tbey expected an attack. Locke received a casn of new Winches ters tbis morning. From tbis it is en ferred tbat he is being re enforced. Some seem to think the militia has set down to starve Locke out. ITEMS IN BRIEF From Saturday's" Daily Hon. John L. Ayer, of Portland, is in the city, Capt. H. C. Coe, of Hood River, is town to-day. Ciicuit court convenes at Condou for Gilliam county next Monday. Five Mile creek is higher than it has been Known tor a number of years. La Grande is organising a band in connec tion with tbe third regiment, U N. U. ' Tbe Gilliam connty well at Condon has ten leet ot water, and tbe people are happy xne countv clerk granted a marnace license yesterdav to Henrv Ladsee and Elmira Hurd. To-day has emphasized the beauties of mis climate, clear sunshine and atmos phere balmy and delightful. Eddy Michell, an attache of tbis office. returned to-day from a three- weeks' visit with bis parents at Uolumbus, Wash. Io a Washington dispatch in the Orenonian to-day Mr. H. M. Beall, of The Dalles, is mentioned as a candidate for bank examiner. Parties from Klickitat countv inform us that tbe around is too wet for plowing, and larmera are attempting it nnder great dis advantages. The river still increases its volume of water, and a scow which was on the beach near the Regulator wharf is now submerged by tbe river. Mr. J. N. Teal, a former Dalle bov. and now a lawyer in Portland, adopted the Sulli van plan for resenting an insult offered to him in a referee's court, and was fined $20 and costs. We were informed to-dav that farmers were forced to stop plowing this week on account of the ground being too wet. The melting of tbe snow, has made it miry, and it is almost impossible for a plow to turn np the soil. We have received a codv of the Normal School Journal, published by the students of the Oregou Scats Normal school at Mon-"! mouth. It is replete with articles on edu cational subjects, aud speaks well for tbe literary attainments of the pupils. D. W. Cooledce has been removed as as sistant superintendent ot the horticultural department of Oregon's exhibit for the world fair, without aov explanations. He do su'c like it. and evidently thinks there baa been some fanny business going on. Reports from eome localities in the countv say tbat lambing has been successful, and very few lambs have died; in others the cold, sleety weather has been very fatal to the young cattle. Ewes are in excellent condition, and tbis is very favorable for lambing. Mrs. H. Weinhard, wife of the million aire brewer of Portland, was exoected to arrive in tbe city on the afternoon train. She comes to The Dalles to attend the golden wedding of her brother, Mr. W. G. W agonblast wbo lives on Five Mile creek which will be celebrated at bis residence to-morrow. The East Oregonian eaya Mr. Carl, wbo was arrested here and taken to Portland one day this week, is a respected citizen of fend le ton, and only attempted to recover goods which had been purloined from a miner by the name of Wm. Turner. This got bim in trouble, and be is now ont on $800 bail. The Reflector, published by the Laurean and Eutaxian societies of the state oniver sitv, is rapidly taking the front rank as a literary publication. In the number for March are many very readable articles, ai,d a poem ot real merit, it is a faithful ex pouent of the- higher thought engendered by the institution. For several days there has not been a sin gle occupant of the city jail, and the re corder's morning hour after he comes to the office is occupied in pious meditation. Hoboes and tramps, apparently, have uo desire to take a rest in tbe green fields ad joining this city, but joaroty onward where omcn.18 are less vigilant. La Grande, in the Grand Ronde valiey. suffered a flood last Thursday from heavy rains and streams overflowing their banks by reason of melting, snow. Several blocks were nnder water, and quite a mill race was running through one of the principal streets. The flood subsided next day and no great damage was done to property. Lewiston Teller: The Annie Faxon made another trip up the river to (Joase Creek, last Saturday, and brought down fifteen hundred sacks more of wheat for F. VV. Kettenbauh As before, this cargo was also shipped to Portland. Mr. Ketteobacb still has considerable more wheat np the river, which will necessitate the boat making two or tbree more trip. . Henry Koepke, a large farmer and heavy taxpayer of Helix, Umatilla county, says that it will be necessary to do much re-sow-tcgin tbe Helix section. Grain is killed in patches through the fields where it wai the more exposed, and the fact is apparent that tbe damage is quite extensive.' Mr. Koepke will himself re-sow 800 acres, and several of his neighbors are similarly unfortunate. Grain put in with a drill seems to have been better . protected and 'nas suffered leos damage. The ruling of Postmaster-General Bissell in ' not allowing postoffices of the fonrtb class to be located in country stores is hardly fair. Where a poatodice pays the munificent sum of $6 per year it is impossi ble to conduct it properly unless in connec tion with some other business. This ruling is liable to bring about a spirit of mutiny, especially in this western country where the commnnities are far auart and the getting of mails is a labor. In many parts of Ore gon the country store is the only available place in which to locate an office. Tbe work on the government scow is pro gressing rapidly, says the Lewiston Teller. The wing dam now being built at Log Cabin island will be completed by the last of this month. This improvement will cut off the current from the north of ttiat island and will prevent the formation of the bad eddy at tbe foot of the - island, that made tbe passage of that point a difficult one. After tba work at Log Cabin is completed the force will go down to Wild Goose Island aud will work there the remainder of the season. Our cotemporary's leading editorial last evening was verbatim the same as a dis patch in the Oregonian of yesterday morn ing The ouly difference was that the Salt Lake date was omitted and "to-day" was changed to "yesterday." Tbis strange coin cidence can only be accounted for do tbe presumption that our venerable friend, the editor, has discovered the secret of "sym pathetic telegraphy," mentioned in Lieut. Fuller's book, "A D. 2000," and for the discovery of which President Craft in that year in futuro had offered or will offer a reward ot $5 000.000. A Democrat wbo baa been to the Mecca of office-seeker has returned to Portland, and be furnishes a column and a half of gossip in that line for to-day's Oregonian. Among those in tbis immediate vicinity mentioned as desiring office are: Judge Bennett, the district attorneyship; J. B Crossen, tbe U.

President Cleveland keeps hi. own counsel and follows his own will, and there is hardiy a more difficult oroblem than that of telling who will re ceive the patronage in Oregon, An exchange says that ttreae disposed to be superstitious are surely having a chance to c -ll tbe tarn this year. A few weeks since it is supposed that the ground-hog saw his shadow, which was a forerunner, of six weeks more winter. It proved to be true this time, however, with a few weeks to spare. Whether the ground hog had any thing to da with it or not, we will leave to superstition's followers and let them draw their own conclnsioLs. The next, following those of ground bog faith, come those wbo claim that if it rains on Easter, that it will rain on seven consecutive Sundays. It did rain on Easter, bat tally will have to be kept for a few weeks before a record can be obtained. - Salem Statesman: Tbe state reform schobl is now engaged io tbe work of reform ing bfty youths.

Bat under the new law, when tbe doors of the school are once thrown open for tbe reception of erring lads, noneot such tender age will be admitted. ' The school is seemingly doing a good work and tbe management is hopeful of making good men of some very bad boys. A number of boys who have been released on 'parole re port regularly to the school as getting along nicely. In their cases reformation has been complete. The boys realize the error of their way in the past and are now making amends to create tor themselves a. conn dence and a name. The Perrydale Patriot says: J. H. Rob- bins caught a gray eagle with a steel trap last week that measured six and ode-balf feet from tip to tip and weighed twenty one pounds. The culprit had been purloining young and defenseless lambs in a fashion that would soon reduce sheep raising to a profitless industry. Mr. bobbins staked a lamb to the ground and alongs de of it set a steel trap. The eagle swooped down to gather the tempting morsel in, bnt instead got his toes caught in a place that made him forever regret his lamb stealing feats. Mr. Eagle's attempts to escape and fierce con- act toward his captors were of no avail; was securely crated and forwarded to Portland as a contribution to the city park. The bird was unbarmed with the exoeption of a braised toe or two, which probably had something to do with the sullen aspect be wore. a Eugene Guard: la the Monday issue of the Daily G'uard the ordinary announce ment was made that on tnat day B.

The pros pective bride was engaged by means of a matrimonial bureaa, tbe contracting par es never haying met before Monday, the day on which the license was issued - - Susie arrived on the train at Creswell from her eastern home that day, but something was wrong, probably the air, water or sctnery, and on the next morning she boarded the train and left for ber old home without hay- ng given a minister or justice of peace a chance to tie the mantial knot, that would have made her Mrs. Scott, Southern Oregon is spreading the state ment through its papers that .the country is rich in roin-ral. Gold has been picked np in large quantities, and the following from the Roseburg Plaindealer inclines one to the belief that there is tin in that portion of the state: "Rumor, nf a rich discovery of tin ore somewhere in the vicinity of Mount Strickle, oe-r the bead of the South Umpqaa, are rife. It is said sample) of the ore, assayed in California, yielded as high pas 64 per cent, of tin. but nothing definite can be learned from the prospectors, who are very reticent concerning their discovery while making extensive preparations for a thorough investigation of the lode daring the ensuing summer. Small pieces of tin ore have been frequently found near the Dumnre bar. and on other portions of the bed of the Umpqaa which render it proba bly that a lode of that mineral exists tome where in tbe adjoining mountains.

Sneak thieves are playing tbeir nefarious vocations at Prineville. One day last week the warehouse of Ureo & Son, in tbat city. was broken into and several sacks of floor and a quantity of bacon stolen.

He was one ot tbe men arrested for complicity in the Roslyn bank robbery, and was in jail for several weeks. Since his release his fellow citizens consider him a martyr to the ambition of detectives. , f Mr. Cnas. Stephens, of Condon, is in the city. He reports prospects very good for crops in Gilliam connty, and that cattle have passed the tvinter with very little loss. Tbe cold weather is very favorahle for crops, as this has a tendency to retain the moisture in tbe ground. Tbe remains of E. Ross Smith, who killed Miss Clark and himself in Chicago on the 1st ip.t., were interred in the cemetery at Sellwood Saturday afternoon.

A patent right agent has been trying to sell a "burglar exterminator" id Penn sylvania, which cuts the burglar in two as he climbs through the window. But he doesn't have much luck. Probably people think about it as the engineer did about running over folks on tbe track "it mussed op things so." . r Saturday evening as the overland was palling out of Oregon City at a rapid rate- it came near running-over and killing a man lying on the track a short distance sooth ot that city. The name of the party could not be learned, nor could bis intentions be as certained. It is presumed he laid down with suicidal intent, as he bad his neck just over tbe rail. Had it not been for the alertness of tbe engineer, he would have been instantly killed. Mr. L?on Freiman, son of Mr. Joseph Freimao, spent yesterday with his relatives io this city. Ho has n stock ot general merchandise at Casual e Locks, and stys the rain has been so continuous that very little work could be done on tbe canal.

Some sharpers of New York city have resurrected tne old scheme of advertising postage stamps as hue steel portrait engrav ing., and reports from rural New Knglaud show that Ihiy are finding plenty of vic tims. A- man living iu Spanner, Mass., saw an-advertisement that on the rec-ipt of $1 anH-legant engraving of the 'L,t ding ot Columbus" would be s lit. He forwarded that amount and received in return one of thrColumbian 2 cent stauipa. This item from the Canyon City Ne u reads very mujh like the old saying of bringing coal to Newcastle: "Mr R. D. Rinehart, the fruit grower, loaded two freight teams with apple, last week and started them on the road to The Dalles. If they do not sell out on the way down, or find a ready market at Tbe Dalle., they will box and shipped to Portland, Apples with out worms in them will ba a rarity in the metropolis and tbat is just tbe sort we raise up here." The Heppner Gazette relates the narrow escape from drowning of J. W. Davi.he stage driver on the Monument route and two passengers.

Ocboco Review: We have been shown a letter from tbe Cape Horn Telegraph Company requesting information concern ing tbe establishing of telegraph connec tion between tbis place and The Dalles, also connecting with Canyon City. The company is incorporated and, as an in ducement to build lines, it tolicit. a sub sidy Irom tbe points to be connected, as well as tbe taking of stock by tbe resi dents along tbe line. The estimated cost of a line Irom here to Tne Dalles is $75 per mile, or about $9,000. There is no question bat tbe people of Prineville would offer substantial inducements to any company establishing a telegraph line to this place, and probably one-baft the stock would be subscribed here. From Tuesday's Dally. Mr. L. Klinger, of Uufur, is io town. The general query is, when will winter end? The fishing season for salmon opened yes terday.

Timothy Myhan and John Fay, two ship carpenters, were seriously injured in Portland Sunday morning, by a heavy trestle falling and rolling down the stalr--wav while being carried by the latter from the npper to the lower floor of Ash ' street dock. It weighed about 100 pounds, and Mr. Fay was thrown off his feet by the end striking tbe stairway above and it rolled with him downward very rapidly. In iu flight the trestle struck Mr. Myhan in the back, injuring him quite severely. Both men were taken to their homes and medical aid summoned. Guard: It is related that a Eugene lady went to a telegraph office recently and in formed the operator tbat her husband had gone to Portland to get a motto for a Sun day school, but she had forgotten to tell mm tne inscription or now large tne motto was to be. She wanted to know how long it would be before ber husband could get the particulars if she sent them by telegraph. Sbe was told. Doubtless that husband was startled when he read the telegram, for without explanation it simply said: "Dear Frank, Hotel Perkins, Portland. Unto us a child is born, eight feet long and two feet wide." Union Journal: The report that the wind had played havoc with Dr. Blalock's Irri gation wheel, on the Columbia, a few days ago is untrue.

Most of these people are waiting for the spring business to start up. Many of the sporting fraternity are there and gambling is carried on at all hours of the day and night and every day in the week. It is very like thelearly days or Walla Walla in 1801 when the Salmon river mines had their flush time.. and gold was taken out by the pound and the yellow sand was sold for gold. No such flush times can be expected in . money mailers there. We suppose there are many broken men in the place who never miss a meal nor pay a cent. The latest addition to sensational liter ature, is a dime novel entitled "The Ros lyn Bank Robbery; a History of Zachary, Kimsey and tbe Hale Bros., the Robbers, and tiito of Those Who Withstood the Murderous Attack. Truth Stranger than Ffctioa." We have not read. the romance. but are informed that the description ot the event is equal to the best fiction of Fennimore Cooper, and the illustrations of scenery and of the men are about as . true to nature as a picture of the old shoe factory in Rockland would be ot the Mormon temple at Salt Lake. , Undoubt edly many boys in the east will re id with great interest this pen picture of life in the far west; but we hope the boys of the Pacific slope pay little attention to this style of machine literature.
