The Tran3cnpt says that Olympia loses a thousand dollars a month by the enforcement of the Sunday law. At the Cascades tho Columbia is full of snow and slush, and tho ico is reported running thick at Ainsworth. The Sam, yesterday, towed a raft of 240,000 foot of aproco logs from Parker's loggery on Young's river to Hume's mill.

Thompson is leaving Washington for Oregon. A dispatch from Mr. Thompson himself gays that he is sanguine that an ap propriation will bo made for tho im provement of tho bar of the Colom bia. We are glad to hoar that the Ifekets for the benefit of Mrs. Veysey aro being sold fast. You want a ticket whether you go or not, and if you haven't had a chance to get one yet, we are informed that there are a few more at Dement'a and Conn's drug stores. A California paper says that a squirrel, which was killed the other day while carrying away wheat from a warehouse on the San Joaquin river, "was found to have 1,803 grains' of wheat stowed away in its mouth." That squirrel had a well doveloped cheek. So did tho paper that told the story. For the past year or two the English papers have had accounts of a disease among salmon. It manifests itsolf in the form of a fungoid growth which resembles that often seen upon a fish which has been injured by nets or by handling. This fungus is evidently the effect and not tho cause of the disease. Wo now read in Scotch papers that "a mystorious disease pre vails among tho salmon of tho Tweed which is decreasing their number to an alarming oxtent. It is estimated that fifty per cent, of the fish are affected. The epidemic i attributed ioerararowding. . WISTCK CIEM.NG.

Any one who is conversant with the facts of anatomical science, or has at all reflected upon the remark of the Psalmist that he is fearfully and won derfully made, cannot fail to look upon boys sliding down hill with mingled wonder and apprehension. As is well known, the common practice of tho youth of this city is to perform the operation of coasting in a position which is called, with more of force than elegance, "boily-bump,"of which it is sufficient to say that the ntme itself is more eloquent than volumes of commentary. The boy picks up his sled by the two ends thereof, runs violently for a couple of rods, and then, projecting himself and hi3 sled horizontally into spice, conies down with a thump (and in some inscrutable way right sido up), which makes tho spectator instinctively look to see his breast-bone stick out between his shoulder blades and his ribs appear on all sides of his body like tho quills on that fretful purcupine. And yet nobody ever svw A boy who had been injured by this operation. On the contrary, it only seems to stimulate his gastric secretimis, and to send him homo to atipper with'nn appetite liko the locusts of Egypt. .Death of Dr. Severn. A dispatch was received by I. W. Case yestorday at noon, from a hroth- er of Dr. Severn's, in Philadelphia. saying: "The doctor died m San Francisco yesterday; advise a friend fur Mrs. Sovorn." Nothing further is known. Dr. I. M. Severn camo to this city from Burlington, New Jer sey, some five yejrs ago, and lus rn sided continuously hero since. On the last steamor he left with his family on a visit to his father who lives in New Jersey. He was about forty-two years of age. Ho leaves a widow and one child. Police Court. Feb. 23d. John Dee, carrying cuncealed weap on; deposit 10. No appearanco; de posit forfeited. Many people have asked, what does "Court in Banc" moinj "Banc," brought into legal language from the French, means "bench," and conies to us from English law. "B.inc Renis" was tho title of the King's Bench, which was above all other Courta, and appeal to which is final. The "Court in Banc," therefore, means tho Supremo Court of tho Dis trict in full bunch. Simmon3, the Portland constable, now in San Francisco, has obtained tho necessary warrants from Gov. Perkins, of California, and left yestor day on tho steamship State of Califor nia with Carrio Bradley, Sullivan and Mahoneyin charge. P.issengers by tho Oregon say that it 13 rumored in San Francisco that Hamilton is concealed in that city, which is very improbable, but should it provo Mruo, his capturo will not long bo delayed. Tho Standard is movod to say that tho loss of the Corsica "is prob ably due entirely to tho management of thoso in charge." Our Portland contemporary is usually so fair in its statements that we ctn not think it spoko otherwiso than unwittingly in this instance Everything that could be done-was dono in tho unfortunate affair by thoie most interested in Rav ing the vessel.

So ran tho couplet in a well-thumbed almanac read no matter how many years ago, for when tho summit is passed and tho shadows begin to lengthen on the downward elopo you care less and less to number them in their flight, and was recalled by tho pure whito niautlo that this morning covered eiery object; tho "rain" and tho '-hail" and the "sleet" have al ready done their part, Skating has been one days amusement, and the sound of sleigh bells has been abroad upon the streets, but the tinkle could not bo called a "icerry" one, as tho sleighing was too heavy fur pleasure either for man or beast; tho leaden fog and mist of to-day was a reminder of Astoria, and in consequence of the Daily Astobian, the ever welcome visitor that norer fails to reach the fireside, but comes "in spite of wind and weather," filled with the choicest of selections and sprightly locals the latter read with particular interest owing to remerabranco of many pleas ant acquaintances formed in summer day3 agouo the former conned be-H cause of tho good taste shown in their selection. Please do not even men tally ejaculato "flattery," for bo as sured your correspondent never flat ters or pays unmeaning compliments. A good understanding can be arrived at only by adopting this declaration as a platform. Tho meeting of the State Temper ance Alliance filled tho city with tpostles of the cause, much enthusi asm prevailed and many resolutions adopted in its furtherance, but sinco then the normal quiet has resumed its sway; you know Salem, as behooves tho capital of so important a state as ours is always on its dignity; it never gushes or is carried away by any en thusiasm beyond a point consistent with its position, (excepting bi-annu-ally in legislative times.) Noting the fact that Upper Astoria has been visitod with that dreaded scourge -small pox is a reminder that Sulemites have had a limited ex perience in a if possible worse mala dy, diphtheria, leaving tho vacant chair in soveral mourning households. In this connection it may not be out of place to. mention a circumstance as illustrating the contagions nature of the diseaso and the extromo caution which should bo observed to prevent its spread. Not long since a family camo up from California awLstopped with rela tives a short distance from the city; the host hid fivo daughters, one of whom was takon with diptheria, when tho visitors acknowledged to having had a case of it not a fatal one in tho family previous to thoir arrival. Tho child diod, then second, and n third, in less than a month; but tho end was not yet; tho newcomers went to visit another family of relatives, consisting of fathor, mother and two children; in a short time the mother and ono child wore victims to the scourge, leaving a desolatu father with tho care of a child. The circumstances as told wero very Bad and touching; a little home had been redeemed from tho wilderness, and by yoars of labor had just been freed from debt, only to be robbed of two of its priceless, mouthers. ARTISTIC. Miss Mary Bridges, a young lady for many yeara a resident of Salem, has just returned from San Francisco, whero she was a pupil in tho Academy of Design, bringing with her tho most artistic work in crayons, and decora tions on tiles and China ever before brought to the city. Her work is a surpriso to our citizens, who were not awaro of her artistic abilities. XEWSPAPARUL. Our two dailies aro well patronized and ablv conducted. The Statesman is tho loading daily, and tho local de partment, under the management of Messrs. Reuben P. and Whitney L. Boise, makes a lively and rcadablo part of tho journal. Those young gentlemen, though new to the journal istic profession, are proving them selves worthy members of it. Tho Town Talfc, issued at evening, is what its name implios, a chatty organ for tho current tonics of tho day. BELI0I0U3. In tho way of entertainments for denominational benefit, tho churches havo not "taken tho town" as much as the members havo boon accused of heretofore, yet sociables havo not en tirely lost their popularity. The Con gregationaluts , aro rehearsing "Es meralda" (published in Century Maga zine;) the cast is a -good one, consist ing of amateurs from loading society circles; tho drama will be produced aoon. As tho Lunten season is imme diately at hand, tho Episcopals and Roman Cathplios .will lay aside for a time the pomps and vanities of the world, for self denial and religious duties. t AXUSBMEXTU. Society young people have a furore this Winter for dancing and whist parties; these two iccroations almost excluding all other sociaLonos, POLITICAL. Just tho faintest Bounds are to be heard at tho capital, of the conflict to comraenco soon, to be unor full head way in Juno, and roach tho grand cli max in the legislative halls this Au turn. None an; free from a feeling of interest in the coming contests. Obsueseta.9 Democratic Proceedings. The Democratic Stato Central Com mittee met in Portland last Wednes day, and after soma preliminaries, the committee on apportionment made ths following repert: Your committer on apportionment would recommend that tho next state convention be composod, of 201 dele gates apportioned on the vote cast for John Whiteaker for Congress in 1880, being one delegate for overy 100 votes cast and ono for overy fraction of 70 or over, and ona delegate at largo, which would give to each county the following representatien: Baker ... ...
