This number completes the first half Of the Sec
ond volume of the Argus. Since the first issue
of the paper the books of the institution have been
kept by several talented individuals in several very
lucid styles with agreeable alterations of double
entry, single ditto and fy-leaf account, and
casional charge in blank Added to this, the fact
that some Of our friends have been very remiss, of
late, in settling little balances due u.s. to
qure general squaring of accounts and n fresh
start on the next quarter. To accomplish this, it
will be necessary for to suspend publication for
two weeks, and devote our attention entirely to the
task in hand. We have for some time intended to
make the settlement Immediately after the publica
tion of this number--but to legalize some Of our
advertisements and complete the publication of the
laws we must issue another number On the Cd
of June, No. % will appear, with an improved ap-
pearance, and the first page occupied by choice
miscellaneous reading matter, in room of Uncle
Sans laws. Our friends will please consider this
call imperative. Those in arrears for subscription,
will receive more number!
Job work will be promptly attended to- as usual.

ADJOURNED. The Legislature last Monday sue
ceeded in making final adjournment. The dying
struggle Of the sixth session was hard and pain
full, the Senatorial question having gnawed the Vi
tails of many members. The friends of Speaker
Stow presented him with gold headed cane, and
Speaker Stow presented somebody with jack.
knife, thus keeping up the California custom OF
presenting tokens of regard and esteem. The ad-
mirers of Mayor Garrison in San Francisco, pre-
sented his Honor a set of gold plate, and forthwith
the Grand Jury indicted him. D. Hale Haskell
purchased magnificent set Of China for |. c
Woods, and forthwith Adams g. Co. cavcd in.
The merchants Of San Francisco procured three
hundred pieces of silver plate for Mr. Haight. and
aightway Page, Bacon g. Co. went in Follow
ing these ilustrious examples the people will con-
demn this Legislature, and the Jews curse Speaker
Stow forever.

TIE FUR TRADE ADVENTURE.

Golfer, with the hardihood of a regu.
lar trader, had cast himself loose from
the party OF Lewis and Clark, in the yery
heart of the wilderness, and had remain.
ed to trap beaver alone, on the head wa
tiers of the Missouri. Here he fell in with
another lonely trapper like himself,
named Potts, and they agreed to keep
together. They were in the very region
Of the terrible Blackfeet, at that time
thirsting to revenge the death of their
companions, and knew that they had to
expect no mercy at their hands. They
were obliged to keep concealed all day
in the woody margins of the rivers, set.

them up before daybreak. 1t was fear.

They were on branch Of the Nilsson

their traps at night, about six miles from

forks. Early in the morning, they as
cended the river in canoe TO examine
the traps. The banks on each side were

Potts scoffed at him for being frightened
at the trampling of herd Of buffaloes.
Golfer checked his uneasiness, and pad
died forward. They had not gone much
further, when frightful whoops and yells
burst forth from each side of the river,
and several hundred Indians appeared on
either bank. Signs were made to the un.
fortunate trappers to come on shore.
They were obliged to comply. Before
they could get out of their canoe, a saw
age seized the rifle Of Potts. Golfer
sprang on shore, wrested the weapon
from the hands of the. Indian, and re-
stored it to his companion, who was still
in the canoe, and Immediately pushed
into the stream. There was a sharp
twang of a bow, and Potts cried out that
he was wounded. Golfer urged him TO.

chance for life; but the other knew there
