IFe shall make no deviation front this rule in future. ' .SmAXOKn Dikd. A man named Jno. R. JJorton, aged about 30 years, died at the Cliff Ilous in this city on the 21st inst. Ife had been suffering from con sumption for a long tune, and came here from St. Vincent's Hospital,- at Vancouver, where he had been receiv ing medical treatment for some 70 days. He was very much exhausted when he arrived, and was taken in charge by Mrs. Col. White and others, from whom lie received every care' and attention that he could have had at his own homo. No one supposed that his end was so near till Monday, wheo his land bevoiuf the river." A small Dirty was collected by Col. White to accom- nanv the hearse to theeemetrv and see that the body was decently buried. We know nothing of Ids historv further than this : but should ho have a mother, o Bister, or friend, to whoso eve this brief notice may corne, it may bo a source of much comfort to know" that, though among strangers, he did not lack for (Wympathv and tenderest care dur ing the last moments of his earthly existence. Tire G(tou Woiik. As a communica tion from one of our prominent citizens, we publish the following: "We think from the spirit manifested Tuesday night, that our young friends Rre jrofnir to make a success of the Young Men's Christian Association, and we hope so, because we like to see these voung Christians with all their beautiful lives lefore them, all their noble, generous impulses for good, set to work in harmony and Christian union; and so we understand this As sociation has no dogma or creed, but love and good will for all the race; it will form a skirmish line, an out-post, lor the ditlVrent churches of our city. Four churches aro carl. res actively represented by two members in a boarll of managers. ' If it gives our town a cozy, warm nice place for our young folks to spend an hour, it will save many a poor boy from the haunts of sin. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, lend us a helping hand.

The Association then adjourned to meet at the M. K. Church on next Tuesday evening, fit 7 Si o'clock. o Pro rosKp Road. The people of Eagle Creek settlement met at Foster's school house one day last week to discuss the practicability of building a macadamiz ed or plant road from "that neighbor hood to Portland. We have not harned that any definite conclusion or plan was arrived at, and would suggest that they agitate the matter of a n. ore direct and letter road from that place to this city, which project would Iks aided by mu- ii i twetit u iit i-il iiit iotist frnm nnrfiti7nna Quid probably by an appropriation from ctbe county. This road would have a decided ad vantage over that proposed, as it would not onlv give them as good market facilities, but ready access to the county scat, and help "tr develop our CTMiiity, thereby enhancing the property oA" every landholder therein. AcciOKNT.-rMr. James X. Dolan, of Portland, formerly of this place, met with a serious accident th3 other day. He was runniiisr the hand-ear on his section near East Portland, and just as ho was turnin ? a curve at Mr. Stevens' jdace, he collided with a locomotive engine under full headwas', which knocked the hand-car into "pi" and o knocked Mr. Dolan senseless, cutting an uirly gash in Ids face, nearly sever ing one. side of the upper lip from the jaw. It was very fortunate under the circumstances that he escaped with his life. Ektteu IjIst.

SENATE. m Washington, Feb. 21. Mitchell introduced a bill to locate and es tablish an assay office at Portland, in the State of Oregon; referred to finance committee. Mitchell said mat since he had hvlA . body there had been a constant and reasonable demand upon him by the people of his section for the estab- i sument or an assay office, in which the goid dust annually produced might be put into bars. There wero four or five million dollars of gold dust annually produced there, most of it by CLiuamen, and they fre quently exported it to China. There were many mines in his section now being profitably worked, aud at least 1,000 Chinamen employed He believed at least a million of dollars worth of gold dust was exported an nually by the Chinese, which vhi be kept in the country if we had an assay office in Portland. He read a letter from Dr. Linderman, director of the mint bureau, in favor of es tablishing an assay office in Portland. McMillan presented the resolu tions of the legislature of Minnesota asking such legislation as will pro vide for a treaty with the: Indians occupying the country known as the Black Hills, in the Territory of Da kota, so that the same may be opened to settlement; referred to the Com mittee on Indian affairs.

Kelly opposed the amendment. Sargent said if the amendment should be adopted the land would be bought up by speculators. The amendment was rejecteJ, yeas 8, nays ob. Ingolls said he had no doubt that this bill would throw all valuable timbered lauds into the hands of the railroad companies and mining com panies of the Pacific coast.

It is estimated that the State of Oregon has within its limits a dis trict, of rich soil to the amount of 2,752.000 acres. One-fourth of this area, devoted to the raising of wheat at twenty-five bushels to the acre. would result in a yield of 17,200,000 bushels per annum. Less than ono tenth of this will satisfy homo con sumption, leaving over fifteen mil lion bushels for export, a source of wealth in itself that is simply im mense. Oregon Tribune.
