They Present Him With a Curious Pa risian Clock. Captain 0. F. Hooper, of the United States revenue cotter Coricin, will leave this city to-day for Astoria. Becoming acquainted with his in tended departure, a number of friends determined to show their apprecia tion of his high qualities as a genial gentlemen and officer, by giving him a token of their regard. Yesterday afternoon, accordingly, these friends gathered at the Baldwin hotel and presented the captain with a clock one of a pattern not seen in this city before. A short speech of presenta tion was made by Judgo Walter Levy, and Captain Hooper responded in a few well-chosen words of thanks. A reception then took place, at which the following well known gentlemen were present: Israel Lawton, W. D. English, J. H. McElrath, Judge Wal ter Levy, General R, P. Hammond, Jr., W. W. Foote, Thomas J. Clunie, J. W. Taber, Lieut. W. D. Lawton, Judge Sullivan, Major M. E. Joyce and Dr. G. W. Handy. Tho clock is a beautiful piece of Parisian workmanship, and its sup port, from which it is suspended by chains, is a representation of the cut ter Corwirfs stern and quarter-deck, as seen from the stern. This is where the curious part of the article occurs, for ranged upon the deck are all the things a sailor needs to guide his ship at sea and guess at the weather. On the top of the miniature smokestack is the compass a curi ous place for a compass to be and the barometer is slung over one side, a thermometer being on the other. The propeller of the miniature steam er is so arranged by a natty bit of machinery as to be always in motion, giving a charming realistic effect to the whole. The clock is twenty-four inches high and eighteen inches wide. Captain Hooper was much touched by the gift. 8. F. Chronicle, Dec. 29. Says the S. F. Herald of Trade of the 29th ult: Canned salmon holds very strong, with a slight advance in quotations reported for round par cels. The probable shortage this year, as compared with last, will be 150,000 cases as far as returns show. But it must be recollected that this shortage is in comparison with the shortage of last year, and would show a much greater shortage as compar ed with the pack of 1885. The de mand continues strong from all quarters, especially Australia. The home retail trade is only fairly stock ed. The London Grocer of Dec. 10th, says: New salmon of 1S37 pack is ex pected to arrive here about the be ginning of January, and sales have al ready been made of Columbia river fish at 28s Gd. c. f. and i., for Londen: but we hear that merchants will not go on at these term3, as it is general ly admitted that best brands will not open at less than 30s per case, and transactions in tho interval have been reported at 29s Gd on the spot for best quality in tall tins. A public sale by the Hudson's Bay Co. on Wednes day passed off with some spirit as fol fel fol eows: 1,760 doz. tius preserved salm on, ex-Labrador, which went at Gs 3d to 7s 3d per doz.; also 659 casks salt ted, salmon, per same ship, tierces weighing on the average 433 lbs. each at 121s to 1233, ditto averaging 475 lbs. each at 983 to 105s, and inferior (477 lbs. each) at 91s to 93s per cask, be sides a few lots of low quality and smaller packages at W9 down to 80s and 27s; but another parcel of 599 bbls salted salmon, "Inverness" brand, from the Skeena river. British Col umbia, packed in 18S6, and import ed per Amberlemo from Victoria, of fered by a private firm, met no ade quate bids, and was withdrawn. As a home remedy for throat and lung diseases, Ayer's Cherry Pec toral is invaluable. Druggists now have Ayer's Almanac. A remarkable fact, says the S. F. Commercial-News, just transpired in reference to a message from the sea which was picked up at Skerries, on the Shetland coast. The message, a scrip of paper in a bottle, in a bottle, was as follews: "Findhorn tell my mother we war drowned at see." From the curious phraseology em ployed and the fact that there was no vessel ot the name Findhorn, the message was generally regarded os a hoax; but it now appears that the writing oc the paper has been identi fied by the writer's mother, who re sides at Findhorn, Forres, as that ot her son who, in February, 1885, left Sunderland for -the Moray Firth on board the Milina, of Peterhead. The vessel was never heard of again, and was generally supposed to have foundered during a gale of the 21st February, 18S5, somewhere near the Shetland coast The remarkable thing is that the bottle has apparently drifted about for more than two years and a half, and was at last driven ashore near where the vessel sup posed to have foundered. Ayer's Sarsaprilla stops the nau seous discharges of catarrh, and cures the complaint. A Nasal Injector tree with each bottle of Shiloh's Catarrh Kemedy ?rice 50 cents. Sold by W. E. Dement For Dyspepsia andLiver Complaint, you have a printed gcarantee on every bottle of Shiloh's Vitalizer. It never fails to cure. Sold by W. E. Dement A Eunaway Train. Butte, Mont, Jan. 1. A re markable and terrible accident oc curred at 5:1,5 ,o'clock yesterday morning on thq Utah & Northern railway, three miles this side of Dillon. At 3:lf a. m. eleven coal cars, part empty and part loaded, got loose at Spring Hill, 57 miles south of Dillon, and started this way. It is down grade from Spring Hill clear to the foot of Apex bill, three miles this side of Dillon, a distance of sixty miles. The cars were missed a few min utes after they started and the en gine was sent in pursuit, but grade was steep all the way to Dillon and the runaways went like wind. The operator at Dillon was notified to side track and ditch them, but a moment after receiving his instruc tions they dashed past the station and continued on their wild course. At the foot of Apex hill they met a double-header freight which was running down grade at the rate of forty miles per hour. The collis ion resulted in the runaways be ing knocked to-pieces and the front of the engine of the freight train badly wrecked. Fireman McShane was thrown under the wreck and instantly killed, his head being crnshed under the wheels of the second engine. Engineer Sweeney was badly scalded and lies in a precarious condition at Dillon. Nearly all the cars in the freight train were more or less damaged. m TEEASTJKEK'S QUABTEBLY KEP0BT. J. G.
