The mate of the Carmaethen Castle, which went to sea last Tuesday, reported that that afternoon a boat went drift ing by Sand Island bottom upward with two men clinging on, but that it was too rough to lower a boat to go to their assistance. It la also re ported that the boat has come ashore at TJwaco. A search party will start to look for them this morning and it is thought that some definite intel ligence a3 to their fate will be learned to-day. NEW GOLD DISCOVERY. FROM NEW YORK. Aa Interesting Letter From n Former As-torlan. .imGE DAWNE. Tho Victoria Colonist of last Fri day furnishes another item in the Judge Dawne matter. It says: For ten days past Mr. Justice Dawne, of Alaska, has boarded at Mr Monk's restaurant on Government street He is a tall, well made man. in good clothes, top-boots, full whiskers and gold spectacles. His identity was not suspected until after the appear ance of tho Cotonwt article on Wednesday, .vhich tho judge read while eating breakfast at one of the tables. His actions then attracted attention and he was afterwards rec ognized as the fugitive. Yesterday the wretched man changed a $20 piece to pay his bill, rolled up his blankets and went out The last seen of him he was standing over the rocks that lead down to the harbor oppo site tho Telegraph hotel. A requisi tion will probably arrive, l'he Victoria Times of Friday ev ening says: As late as this morning Judge Dawne was seen in Victoria, and at the present moment is either in me cuy or iuo lmmeumie uciyu borhood. His movements are no se cret Before leaving Wrangel for Tongas, the judge's borrowing pro pensity was again called into play, and he succeeded in getting, as a tem porary accommodation, the sum of $250 from a gentleman in business at that place. He represented that he might want to use some cash in the business he was going on to Tongas, and the confiding friend readily obliged him with the loan. Poet Moody, B. C.,Dec. 15. Much excitement prevails over the discov ery of gold on the Coquitlam river, three or four miles from here and only a couple of miles off the Canadian Pa cific railroad. Two brothers named Hume, of new Westminster, it appears, have been working there all summer, and so secret were their operations that nothing was known of it until last week. They were discovered by par ties from here, and even their own brother, the foreman of the Qxiardian office, wa3 not told of the find. Their appliances were very deficient and not at all suitable for catching much of tho mineral. If under these circum stances men who are favorably known and could command the best wages found it paid better to -work for -what they could pan out with their insuf ficient outfit, it is considered by prac tical men that thero is enough dust to pav well if proper sluices, etc, were erected. For the past few da s large numbers from here and New West minster have visited the scene and many are preparing to thoroughly prospect the stream and smaller streams emptying into the head wa ters of Coquitlam lake, whence it is believed the gold comes. A party of gentlemen here have to-day started two or three of the best miners in the countrv. to thoroughly investigate the matter, and the general belief is that the diggings will pan out well, as it has long been believed by many that there was gold there. Corr. Or eynnian. "KH.V ami TharlM Lamb. A unique genius, that of Charles Lamb. Just like nothing that ever appeared before them, or has since appeared, are the quaint and delight ful "Essays of Elia," a new edition of which has recently been issued by Alden, "The Literary Revolution" publisher of New York. Turn to any of your cyclopedias and they will tell you that Charles Lamb was one of the most charming essayists that the English language has ever known, and also that his "Essays of Elia'' are the choicest of his works. They are not merely the first work of their class, but nice Tiignm's Progress" and "Robinson Crusoe" thev constitute a class by tnemseives. The volume is certainly one of tho most delightful of the books de scribed in Mr. Aldan's 148-page il lustrated catalogue, which he offers to send for -i cents, or the HJ-page catalogue which is sent free.

The following is from a gentleman who wa3 for many years an honored citizen of this place, but who has for sometime been a resident of New York City: New York, 14th Dec, 1885. To the Edttob of The Asteriax: I hare promised myself a hundred times or less that I -would write a let ter to The Astoeiak. But promising to do a thing is not doing it. This I realize, and so set to work. At the outset let me say, that Oregonians need not think that they have a mo nopoly of wet weather. We in the east have had a pretty good slice of late. The ram here wets, and very often does worse. Eain weather is very unpleasant here, and we have a good share of it. From now on for the next three months when it is not raining it will be freezing hard, so hard that it keeps one busy running after the plumber, heaping on coals and trying to keep warm. But enough about the weather, suffice it to say all the bad weather is not in Oregon. . . "We .have had a delightful visit from Mr. and Mrs. Mcintosh, who are still here, and living within a block of us. We were glad to see them on many accounts, but especial ly as we had from them an account of all our Inenas now mey looKea and -what they did. Mr. Mcintosh has been busy with his patent Bkate, and during his leisure hours, has been doing up the city. Yon know he is fond of music, and so he has not failed to go where good music is to be found. The Casino and the Star and other theaters opened their doors to him on week evenings, and on Sundays, morning and evening, he wended his way to church, where he heard musio that was equal to any. They are both in good health and have stood the ordeal of travel and sight seeing very well, and intend this week to continue their travels into the British provinces. I am glad to be able to state that business in the east is reviving very fast Times now are very lively. Of course it is the holiday season and that accounts for it partly, but not altogether. Large failures now are nlmost unknown, and monied men are regaining confidence. There is nlentv of menev: all men want to know is where to put it, so that it will bring a moderate rate oi interest, say four or five per cent This leads me to say that if capitalists could be shown that a railroad from Forest Grove to Astoria would pay such a rate of interest they would gladly build it. But they must be shown this; this must be brought to their attention, and perhaps tho best way to do this is through the columns of TheAstoriav. This matter should be agitated, should bo "written up and talked about. Thi3 is one of the chief ways of gaining public atten tion. I had hoped that in the last session of tho legislature your repre sentatives would have brought in a bill exempting such a railroad from taxation ior twenty years, or some bill granting state aid, but the Asto ria railroad project seoraed to be en tirely forgotten. Well, it Astorians forget their own interests, others will forget them too. I hear that Dr. Kinney ha3 been trying to interest San Francisco capitalists to take hold of the coal fields in the Nehalem val lev. I hope he may be successful, and I believe he will be if Astorians properly second his efforts. The coal is there", aud good coal. Make cap italists see this and they will get it out. I wa3 glad to read an account of The Dalles waterway convention. It will do good. Congress is influenced by such meetings, and the represen tatives and senators are greatly strengthened in their efforts by them. People talk about your small repre sentation in congress, and tell us that the appropriations and influence are in proportion to yonr representation. It is not so. One smart man in con gress can do moro and get more for his state than hnlf a dozen -who lack Ensh and tact. You know I am a itchell man and advised your rep resentatives to vote for him more than avearago. I believe Mitchell can do more ior uregon iuuu uuy man I know. He has the energy, and he has the tact Tell him your wants: give him the facts and figures and if anything can ue done m wasu ington he will do it. He is an Ore gon man not the man of a party or a faction. I don't say he is an angel. If he were, I fear his influence in Washington would be small. Evervbodv here is now busy get ting readv for Christmas. Santa Claus is galloping along at a furious rate. Tho stores are thronged, and are doing a rushing business. What the people do with all the things they purchase, and where they get the money, is n mystery and a wonder. The annual Christmas scene in Macy's window always draw3 a large orowd daily. This year it is a sleighing party. Doll boys and girls rush down the steen incline at a furious rate, and greatly to the delight of the young sters who come long distances to see the sight .
