Major Truax accompanied him, but the Doctor handled the rib bone.

The name of the Perkins' mur derer caught b strategy near British Columbia, is Suluskue, son of Peter Le Mox Mox, a Cayusc belonging to the Umatilla, reservation. Snow, then rain, then -sunshine, then cloudy, then clear, then a little more snow, a little more rain, a little more sunshine, little more cloudy, clear again, etc., etc., was the style of the weather at Astoria yesterday. Mr. Dan O'Neill, the popular Oregon Steam Navigation company's purser, is at present doing the Cascade route, acting purser of the Emma Hay ward, but there is scarcely enough business doing to keep him out of mischief. Look here, brother Kelly of the Roseburg Independent, if you don't ay away from that millinery shop, and lot Mrs. Compton finish that wed ding dress for Miss , we shall be eonipelled to refer to your conduct 2t.t enrolling clerk. Our friend S. B. Smith is happy. A big English estate, valued at many millions of dollars, is awaiting proof of hcirsliip by a branch of the Smith family in this county. Silas B. thinks there would be about 6fty cents a piece, if divided up equally among the Smiths of America. Salem is being victimized by a traveling quack in medicine, propos ing to effect certain cures or no pay, only taking part pay in advance, enough to make five or six prices for the medicine, the remainder, to be paid when the cure is effected, in all probability will never be called for. . People who receive their papers through the carriers would do ex ceedingly well by putting little boxes with a covering, at their gates. It would save them from the rain and the pilferers gaze, ?froni the jaws of bird dogs and the high winds, which sometimes carry them off and casts the blame of not getting the paper on the carrier, or your neighbor. Put up a box at your gate, xifdt is only a cigar box. Mr. Sam Gray's pet, n cross-breed between a cat and -z. .coon, which es caped some time ago, was killed night before last by a dog. The collar on iU neck must have been a source of great annoyance to the animal, as it had the appearance of having chafed its way into the flesh. This coon has caused many a fat chiclwa -.to submit .to the eating-out process Social Events. The Masquerade Ball, which will come off at Worsley's Hall on Friday evening the 14th, promises to be a very attractive afiair, and will no doubt be largely attended. Every necessary preparation has been made by the committee, and nothing which can contribute to the success and pleasure of the event has been omitted. Mr. Worsley deserves the thanks of til the amusement-loving public for his untiring and successful efforts to f r.rnish them with amusements during the dull winter months, and the Soiree this evening, and the Masquer ade on next Friday, being the closing ones of the winter, we should like to see his large room crowded on both occasions, and for the benet of those who intend masking, the committee desire us to say that it will only be necessary for maskers to show the blanks to the committee in the com mittee room, and those attending as spectators, their invitations at the door, and let everyone make it a point to show "Genial Ben" that one and all appreciate his efforts.

Pendleton is a very desirable place to Eve, according to Bro. Tur ner. He says every church in town is occupied, every school house filled with pupils, every hotel and restau rant crowded, every saloon well pat ronized, e.ery carpenter employed, the blacksmith shops overrun with work, the lawyers all idle, people all happy and everything moving on as lovely and quiet as though no Indians were in the country. The JEtna Life Insurance com pany of Hartford,Connecticut,is one of the reliable companies of the United States. Its cash assets represent a value of 824,000. Mr. Arthur Wilson, the manager for Oregon and Washing ton, called upon us yesterday, and in forms us that Mr. E. C. Holdcn has been appointed local agent at Astoria, and Dr. W. D. Baker examining phy sician. Hon. I. W. Case has carried j a policy in this company for nearly ten years. The Oregonian has disooored that the causes of Elshqp Purcell's de linquencies, in Cincinnati, . are ilhe -direct result of the "shrinkages of prop erty values." Senator Grover can be no more to blame for the shrink ages in Oregon values, held as securities for money loaned here when he was governor, than Bishop Purcell is for tho shrinkages in Cincin nati, but the Oregonian does not ap pear to have manhood enough about the concern to prompt such statement of the facts. Judging from a privets -dispatch from Chas DeYoung & Co. , jesterday, the fellow who represented himself as an agent of the Clironicle in this city, W. B. Sewell, was not only a dastard ly cur, but a fraud upon the De- Youngs. Our grand jury let him off easy because of the fact there is a certainty of a moral stench arising in any community from the trial of such cases. He was therefore permitted to leave. Sewell is a man of about five feet nine inches stature, sandy com plexion, hazle eyes, and long reddish whiskers, rather pleasant address. 1 This is all w.o know, about him, The Indian Question. LETTER FROM 3IR. W. H. GRAY. Clatsop County, Feb. 1. In The Astorian of the 24th nit. is an article headed ' 'Yakima Indian Affairs. " Fol lowing the above, I find "The Other Side," by D. P. Ballard, of Yakima city. In this effusion he constitutes himself the ce'nsor of Agent Wilbur and of the government policy in rela tion to the Indians, and also attempts to prove that all, or at least 70 per cent, of the Wilbur Indians are a fair sample of the Perkins murderers; onlv nineteen or twenty-tcne keep up the forms of worship as taught by Father Wilbur, etc. This Mt. Ballard would be a wise man if he had not a foolish head to guide him. He goes back to an Indian by the name of Peter, whom Gen. Fremont took to the states in 1844, to prove all his statements on the Indian question. I propose to occupy but a small space in your paper to meet .suck statements with the statement that the fools and falsifyers are not all dead. There may be in that commusiicasion a slight semblance of truth, but it is covered so deeply with ignorant predjudice, superstition and bigotry, that the head or heart that dictated that letter could Rot certainly see it. I have no doubt but this decided ex pression of opinion oh my part, will cause a yell from all enemies to truth and humane treatment of the Indians, an especially to all true American moral influence over them. For the last 3ear you are aware that I have given this question careful attention, not only through official reports but through newspaper correspondence and a personal visit to the Indians. That agents within and without the Yakama and Nez Perces Indian agen cies should be the special object of hatred is not to be wondered at; those agencies are standing proofs that the Indians can be civilized and become not only christian "herifcics" but Ameri can citizens. Show me the same conversion of our American or English people that I have .seen in the years of 1839-40 among the Indians named, and I would say a thousand were converted to Christianity; and here let me say, that I have the testimony of the Roman priests t show, that they claim that many thousands of our Indians have been "converted" to Romanism siuce 1838. That that sect claim at least four Indians belonging to their church, to one belonging to the American, as ifchey (the Homanits) call the "hereti cal" protestant churches. It is an old adage: "Straws show which way the current in a storm Tuns. vice is bold when true moral or christian sen timents are cast aside. Falsehood travels faster than the truth. Can any sane man tell me why it is this desperate effort is made to return the Indian bureau tb the war depart ment which had control of the Indians for over sixty years? without accom plishing as much for their civilization, all over our country, as has been ac complished by President Grant's peace policy iu ten years? A close observer of this Indian question for more than 40 years would say why not give the peace policy time enough to train one generation of In dians to test its results? The war policy lists alreadj' had three genera tions. Mr. Ballard appears, if his letter is true, to seek a residence near them, and to know all about their moral condition; also, of the necessity of the change. Has he been dis charged from its services. Respectfully, etc W. H. Grct. An article from .the Toledo Blade of December 12th, Teviewing testimony before the joint commission regarding the transfer of the Indian bureau to the war department, is omitted for want -of space. Ed. TVliy Tlicy Pay Dow. A good many people who .ore not acciiBtouied to paying fare in advance on river steamboats can .-see the point better, perhaps, after reading the fol lowing from a late Paris paper: One of the great and comfortable steamships which the Yankee con struct descends the Mississippi with a vertiginous rapidity. When, lo! a cry makes itself to be heard: "A man in the waters!" "Stop!" cries himself the Captain. Then, turning himself towards the purser, he demands: "Has he paid his fare?' "He has paid," replies the purser. "All :aricrhta!" howls the captain, .and the steamer retakes its course, leaving ihe passenger behind. If the -unhappy man had jut ,paid m .advance he might hawie &ei -Bared. Real Estate t Auction We call attention to E. C. Holden's auction sale of city lots on Saturday. These lots will all be valuable in the near future, though the chances are they will bo sold cheap enough now. Lot 5, block 37, adjoins upper town and Finn town; lot 5, block 49 is in close proximity to Mr. Devlin's resi dence; lots 2 and 9, block 91, are close to the cemetery lot, and one block north from Mr. Williamson!, block, all favorable location.. The Cental System. The grain and flour dealers of Liverpool and New York are mak ing vigorous efforts to introduce the cental system in estimating the weight of all breadstuffs. It is recommended that a barrel of flour shall contain 218 pounds, 200 pounds of flour, leaving IS pounds for tare; and also, that when flour, oat-meal, etc., is packed in sacks, they shall weigh, exclusive of tare, -equal parts of a cental. The Portland board of trade has Teceived a communication on this subject from the New York Exchange, and the sub ject is now under consideration. Tins is only another step towards an adoption of the metrical system. Sinse our decimal system of cur rency is easily applicable to the cental system above mentioned, a world of labor and perplexity would be saved if the suits estion of our English neighbors were adopted. Card From Mr. Nowten, Upper Astoria, Feb. 0. I pToclatm to all -who suffer from Rupture, that for ten years previous to getting one of Dr. Pierce & Son's Magnetic Elastic Trusses I groaned from a terrible Itupttjre, and used four steel trusses during that time, but these steel trusses seemed to aggra vate -my malady. By some direction of good fortune 1 came under the. able treatment of Dr. Pierce & Son. procured one of their Trusses, and for six months I have not taken it off, and I believe that I am 3iov completely rttrefl. This cer tificate is freely and 'Conscientiously given. I am advanced in years, anil have mo object in deceiving the public. 1 do t.hls to relievo those who will heed my notes of rejoicing, and to earrv the glad tidings to whoever may -wish it.
