V. St. Valentine's Day. Next Bnturday will bo Ht. Valentine's, fdny, and tho Indications nro that it will lio pietty generally observed on Coos bay in tho usual manner, nnd, as a nat ural consequence, many a young heart, nnd somo older ones, as well, will bo gladdened and caused to throb will quickened pulsations by tlio reception of n dclicntcly-pcrfumcil and decidedly sentimental memento from Rome ntiony mous yet somo well-known loved one. Another conscqiienco of tho observance of tho ancient custom of sending vnlcn tines will b6 a largely increased revenue derived by tho postoflico department for tho transmission of tho mementoes Tho day is observed in honor of the anniversary of the birth of Kt. Yalen tino, who was, according to Bomo ccclo slasticnl Writers, a bishop, and accord ing to other ho was a presbyter, who was beheaded at Homo in tho reign of tlio Kmjicror Claudius and was early canonized. Whcatloy says that St. Val cutino "was a man of most admirable parts and so famous for bin love and charity Hint the custom of choosing val entities upon his festival took its rise from thence." . Olbers derive tlio custom from birds being supposed to select their mates on this day; others from a practice prova lout In nncienl Homo, nt tho festival of tho Lupcrcnlia, during tho month of February, when, among other ceremo nies, tho names of young women were placed in n box, from which they were taken by young men as chanco directed. Tho pastors of tho early church, finding it impossiblo to extirpate, this pagan ceremony, changed its form. It was tho custom on tho eve of February 14 (St Valentino's day) to havo tho names of a select number of ono sox put into some vessel hy an equal number of tho other, and thereupon every ono drew a name, which, for the time being, was called his or her valentine. The custom of choos ing valentines existed very early, nnd presents of gloves, garters and jewelry were common as valentines. Tito demand for valentines, loth comic and sentimental, Is annually increasing, and as u rule handsomer nnd more ex twnslvo ones aro purchased. This indi cates that instead of dying out tho cus tom of observing Valentino's day is en joying a revival. "W. A. llcynolds returned from Cali fornia hy tho steamer Coos Hay.

Darker had gone from his homo at Friday harbor for a hunt on the island, nnd when he did not return, after a lapse of ten days, Sheriff John, Kelly of San Juan county organized a party to search for the missing man. They arrived at the cabin of ono Hugh Parks, an eccentric individual, living opposite Friday harbor. They were re fused entrance to the houso, and even a drink ot water. The sheriff then went to Friday harbor and sworo ont a war rant for Parks' arrest, on tho ground of insanity. Tho men then formed an am bush and watched the cabin. After some timo Parks was seen to emerge, dragging the body of a dead man, which was afterwards found to-be that of tho missing Jas. Darker. Parks again se cured himself in tho cabin. This took placo on tho 30th of January. For three days thereafter the cabin was closely watched, and not a sign of life being visible within it, Wilbur "Wilson, one of the sheriff's men, volunteered to enter the cabin, but on finding tho door un locked, he became frightened and ran back to his comrades. Again ho aj. proached tho cabin and attempted to enter, but as he stopped into the door way, tiie crazy man shot him through the head. The sheriff and his posee waited no longer, but at once saturated a bale of hay with coal-oil and rolled it to the cabin, whero it was fired and the liiuui uuriiu, lit mo ground. Ascconar r shot was fired inside" the cabin, bat it is . not known whether Parks shot himself V, or shot, at tho men. His charred body was afterwards found in the ruins of the cabin.

Giison and her daughter Hanna, aged 8 years, and her son Frank, aged 4 years, and Andrew McCIung left Grant's Pass on tho morning of the 4th inst, with tho mail, in a two-horse vehicle.
