SHOCKING CATAsTRoPHE.-The late DR.. Chal-
mers, of Scotland, being Intercepted by an old
woman Of his congregation as 70 what he meant
by the catastrophe" Of which he had spoken so
much the previous Sabbath, explained the term to
her as meaning " the latter end Of thing" This
satisfied the old woman, who thought she might
now safely introduce SO fine word into her own
vocabulary. 1t so happened that the doctor had to
pass the old woman's house that same evening
and being buried in deep thought he rode along,
fastened to his horses tail until he came opposite
the house and heard her shouling-"Ah, doctor,

The 81. Louis Republican gives a number Of
extracts from late Oregon papers, the most i'm
portant of which, we copy;
On the Goth Of November, the Governor APP
pointed Columbia Lancaster, TO be Supreme
Judge of Oregon Territory, in the place Of ].
Quinn Thornton, resigned. From some pro-
ceedings of the Legislature Of q subsequent pc
Rod, we infer that Judge Thornton had left Ore
gon, on visit TO Washington City, as sort OF
general agent to attend to the distribution Of
Offices in the new Territory. A number Of re-
solutions were offered, to the effect that Mr..
Thornton was dispatched as private emissary
TO obtain offices for himself and friends, and that
all Memorable means should be used to prevent
his appointment. The vote on these resolutions
stood-ayes s, nayss.
The currency Of Oregon is not without its
troubles. The Governor says in his Message:
In my message of ls45. recommended that
in addition to gold and silver, tcheaf should be
the only article used in the country as a legal
tender-the Legislature added treasury drefts
and orders on solvent merchants. | would re-
commend the repeal of that part OF the act
which constitutes treasury drafts and orders on
solvent merchants as lawful tender; receiving
treasury drafts, however, in payment of taxes
and debts due the Government. Gold and silver
is much more plenty in the territory now than
Il was two years ago, and could be made the
only lawful tender hereafter, without detriment
to the community; still think wheat had. bet
ter remain in connection with gold and silver; il
Ii a staple article and can always be disposed OF
to merchants and others. sa f
Regarding the navigation Of the Columbia,
the Governor says:
