A correspondent from Riparia on Snake river, write to the Yi alia W alia Statesman : "Thethermome.er stands at 82 and it is snowing now, but lightly. The coldest weather here this winter so far was 14 be low freezing and three inches of the beautiful. No snow on the ground now, nor ice in the river, and there has been nothing to retard navigation, only the ' want of business. And as there seems to be more of everything else m circulation than cum and truth, there is no prospect of much busines;, except as I understand ' that the Union Pacific company intend putting a new hull on the steameMfntote, in the course of human events.' ' The Democratic press are trying to create a revival in business by publishing encouraging reports from ail portions ti the country, aud we hope they may be successful. The following is from the Tomahawk, at Portland: "'The mercan tile agencies, Bradstreet and Dusa, whose trade reports generally tell the real con dition, . have found unmistakable evi dences of an improvement in commercial affairs. Their conclusions are derived from a consideration of the many fac tories that are resuming operations. This is the only gauge that mea sures the situa tion correctly. It now points and has pointed tor several weeks, toward pros perity. Depression is disappearing." . Captain Joseph R.

It seems that a tramp was indicted for stealing a watch. He was arraigned and p'e.-derl not guilty.

Tbe tramp was ls guilty as a man ever was, but ss tbe at torney wss young in practice and desirous of grinding off some of his wire edges sgainst the district attorney he accepted tbe task. Nothing daunted, the young attorney rese before the jury to sum np hi case. Providence had endowed bim with a tongne capable of almost anything. He had bis address at his tongue's end and the manner in which he reeled it off established his name in the community in characters ss in effaceable as tbe rock-ribs sn old Gibraltar. He held the "twelve men tried and true" apellbouodi They gazed at him in open- mouthed wonder. Alternately they laughed and cried, and people in the audience fol lowed their example. It is said that it took the jury just eight minutes to whitewash the tramp and provide him with wings and a halo. Tbe verdict was for acquittal, Tbe tramp, so thoroughly surprised and overcome with emotion that he could hardly spsak, rose from his seat, the tears stream ing down bis cheeks. There waa stillness in the court room. "Mr. Lawyer," he ex claimed, brokenly, "you don't know me an I don't know yon. I-I-want te thank you, I-I-ain't get no money but but here's that watch."

Alexsnder McClelland formerly owned a farm near Centralis. About two years sgo a party residing there bought this fsrm, movsd onto it, snd in cleaning up and fix 'ng it, among other things cleaned out and deepened an old pond that had been on the farm for 25 years, and in doing so found tw human - skeletons. An inquest being held, the evidence ten led to proye that tbey correspond to the two missing Mc CMIanda, and that thev had been in tbe pend tome 10 or 12 years. Both skeletons were staked down in the pood, and bore every indication that the parties hsd been murdered. There is an effort being made towards faatening tbs a fair upon an older son of Alexander McCleUaod, who resides there, so says th Wei-tin Leader.

The Beet Industry The beet sugar faetory at Lehi, Utah, closed tor the season December 2fltn, after a continuous run ot one hundred days of twenty-four hours each, cutting up 26,800 tons of beets, consuming 4676 tons of coal, 1100 tons of lime rock, 7328 bushels of coke, 38,800 double sugar bags, besides numerous other incidentals. It averaged over 300 tons of beets each twenty-four hours, producing 3,877,110 pounds of sugar. The beets were harvested from 2700 acres by over 800 contractors, pro viding work for 3000 people. During the run 136 persons worked in the factory and yards, and 100 others with teams About 1500 cars were received and . for warded from the factory.

The wster snpply of Antwerp is draw from the river Nithe, and is purified by passing water through cylinders containing iron tiling. The water which leave the river i the filthiest imaginable. After fil tration it ia abaoluti y pure both chemically and visually. The experience of Antwerp is a practical illustration of the principle laid don by scientists that eootajt with iron removes by far the most daagerooa p-upertiea from contaminated water. Thai experiments hays shown that by this means tbe percentage ef organio matter is reduced from 46 to 85 per cint; of a'.bominoid am monia, fronvSO to 90 per cent; while free ammonia is entirely eliminated.

Tbe foregoieg I a reply to a communi cation in onr co temporary, the contents we have not read, aod will explain itself Mr. A. S. S. Pirant Care of Chronicle.) Yours at band. I ouce knew a whole family of "Pirants," but none with the re markable combination of initials you sport. Possibly you were christened on account of tome marked characteristic peculiar to yourself. At soy rate I am pleased to bear from yon. Y u have shown an intelligence in dis ov er n tbe hidden meaning nf my "am ti ioal artiule" that does credit to you, ir your advisers. A hidden meaning which I had not even gaesaed, but can plainly aee aince von have pointed it out. It ia won derful the talent you display in that like. S ich talent must eventually be rewarded. and if jeu devote yonr time to it muat cer tainty place yon the fi. at representative of the "Pirant" family in the new asylum at Uuion. Yuu say "tha mountain labored and brought forth but little." It did I yon are rixht. It brought forth almoat "nothing" on the Chronicle's editorial page, toe. " 'Keno' ahould know what everybody else in the county knows." Of course, he does ! sverybody, who reads yonr letter, knows that "Keno" must have trampled on yeur pet corn at sometine or other. Aod there is another feature ot the case, also, that I am not ashamed to have eyer y bed y in the ceuntv know, and will tell if you make your true name known i. e. Why I tread oa yonr cor. Don t worry thst great brsm ot your guessing what my object waa in "rushing franotioally out at thi time." It was wholely to haye a little amasemant with seme rap-head like yourself, who den t evea control hi i own vote. There was positively not tbe slighest in. tention to intimate that anyone in Da fur had a knife for anyone; and, if it wis taken that way by an v body, it waa because a depraved courmence caused each persoa to believe that Llnfur ought to knife a certain olass, ahould the Republicana be so unfort nnate a to put them on the ticket, on as. count of Mr. Batch's treatment two year ago Mr. Balch wa beaten because be lived in Dufur. and "Keno" assisted iu his defeat by net falling in line at the convention. Mr. Balch was aware of the fight about to take plaoe before hia nomination, took the sbaaees. made a fair tight and loat. Ne man haa ever heard him sxpreas a regret. All talk of knives bas com from those who ned thm on him. On account of th money wasted during the past campaign, and the Democratic times we r experiencing, Mr. B. is nnable to purchase the support of such Republican as yourself, aad consequently will, as you say, net be a candidate for anything thi year; but Dufur baa always given a straight Republican majority, and will do a next lection. So fsr ss I am personally concerned I am a "Republican" in every sense of t .e word, and as such believe in no "Diotator," nor never will. I defy say man to show an in stance where my tight in convention haye not been to "break a slate," and net to make ene. I have but few real "friends." aad I am proud of them; bnt am much prouder ef the enemies I have made. '' M. J. Anderson, ("Kino"). P. S.

'.Tontine is a system of forfeiture under which a liability is convertible into a delusive "turpi nj," as under the Teatiae system the LIABILITY (for deferred or confiscated dividends withheld injpool esteniibty for the benefit et persistent sar vivors) is not only IGNORED; but this Tontine Fund is included in and unjustly jeopardised with the geBsral surplus, and is also available for expenses. The enormous expenses of the Toatine companies s below, and the . great disappointment experienced with the results of the first drawing of the Tontine lottery, prove not only this, but also that "Toatine is more available to excite hopes of legitimate gains . than it is to fulfill them."
