The Providence Post, in speaking of
millionaire Of that city, recently deceased
says ne was worth, when he died, some fy,
millions OF dollars, yet he lived poorer thar
most men not worth one thousand dollars
Salt Goldfish was standard dish with him
and even in his last sickness, it is said tha,
ne upbraided those who had the care of him,
ior their extravaganza in providing delica.
cies for him, assuring them that he could
not atford it. He was a bachelor, and a
snuff taker. His snuff he kept In lsrpe
box and bought it by the cents worth
Anere was but one store in Providence,
where he could get his box filled for cent,
and the old man used to patronize that store,
more than mile distant, whenever his box
required filling.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.

To the Editor cfMe Puget Sound Herald:
l notice that the present Legislature is not at
a loss for ways and means to deplete the Terri.
torial Treasury. Now, as ] happen to belong to
the county which contributes more to that fund
than any other in the Territory, claim the right
to consider it my business to keep an eye upon
the manner in which it is expended. In the first
place, it is noticeable that that fund is yearly
drawn upon to the tune of about three hundred
dollars, for cleaning and repairing what are des.
ignated as Territorial Arms. do not know
about the quality Of all these arms, but judging
from those ] saw in use during the Indian war,
and the one had the honor Of shouldering, they
are about as dangerous at one end as the other,
and the point where bullet will hit which is
fired from one Of them, cannot be calculated
upon for any distance over ten yards, even in
the hands Of marksmen, so as to be sure Of
hitting an object the size of a man. The idea
has occurred to me that they probably are lot
# condemned U. S. muskets, very little better
than no muskcts at all. II this is the case, am
inclined to the opinion that the money laid out
in securing them up could bc more judiciously
expended by purchasing now ones, which, in
case Of war, would be Of some use.
also notice that the present Legislature have
passed a bill to pay 81 per day, from the Terri.
tOrial Treasury, to an enrolling clerk, a thing
which no previous Legislature has ever done,
though they probably needed such clerk quite
rs much as the present one I should not be

TROuBLE on FRASER RIVER.

The only news Of interest from above is the
particulars Of difficulty between Justices Whan-
nell of Yale, and Perrcr of Hills Bar 1t seems
that, on the 25th uli., a party of rowdies from
Hills Bar went to Yale, got drunk, walked into
BARRIERS shop kept by coorcd man. and with.
out provccation, first snapped their pistols at
him, and wound up by beating him nearly to
death. Complaint was laid before Justice Whan.
nell Of the outrage, and warrants were issued
Cpr the arrest Of two men, named Burns and
Farrell. One Of them was arrested and gave
bail, which he subsequently, forfeited-the other
escaped TO Hills Bar. The warrants were sent
to Justice Perrier, at the Bar for their apprehen.
sion, but he paid no attention to these mandates.
On the contrary, he issued warrant for the ar
rest Of the barber, upon the complaint of Farrell
and Burns, and, giving it to Constable Hixon,
sent him to Yale for that purpose. The Con-
stable, on arriving at Yale, went into Justice
Whannes Court and conducted himself so in.
solcntly that the Magistrate sent him to Jail for
contempt Of court. On this news reaching Hills
Bar, great excitement prevailed among the min.
ers there-headed by the notorious Ned Nc
Gowan. Perrier was indignant, and issued a
warrant for the arrest Of Whannell on charge
Of contempt Of lis court in putting his consta-
bic in jail? This warrant was entrusted to
posse Of about twenty men, under the leadership
Of MeGowan, who proceeded quietly to Yale,
and slipping into the court room while it was in
session, surrounded the magistrate; then a man
named Kelly read the warrant for Whanne!rs
arrest, and MCGOWAN called on his men to ado
their duty" immediately they seized Whan.
nell, who made no resistance, as he saw it would
be useless, and putting the officer into canoe
carried him to Hills Bar. They also released
Hixon from prison.
On the next day he was arraigned before JUS
tice Perrier, who mulcted bis judicial brother in
fine Of $50, which was paid under verbal pro-
test. whannell was then discharged, and went
home thoroughly disguised with justice on Hills
Bar What added peculiar kecnness to the in.
dignity offered him, was the presence Of Farrell
and Burns at the mock trial, and their enjoyment
Of his humiliation. On reaching Yale again, he
wT0ts letters to Gov. Douglas, detailing the par
ticulars Of his treatment, and praying that
sufficient force be sent to his assistance, that
tho mandates Of his Court may be obeyed, and
bis person protected whilst discharging his duty
as magistrate. Public meetings were held at
Yale, sustaining the course Of Mr.. Whannell,
and denOuncing the gamblers and rufllans who,
it is alleged, have made Hills Bar their head
quarters and under the leadership Of the nOtori
Gus MCGOWAN, are said to be ready to commit
any outrage, no matter how atrocioua A meet
ing had also been held at Hills Bar, sustaining
Pcrier, and pledging themselves to stand by
him. ' and $50 men had actually put themselves
under arms to do so. Thus the matter stood at
last accounts PietOria Gazette
