The New Book ON THE NoHHWM-
The Canadian government having dispatch
ed in the years 1857 and 1858, two expedi-
tions at cost Of 9l2,000, for the explO-
ration Of the southern portion Of Ruperts
land, between the boundary line, the Red
River and the Rocky Mountains, including
the region traVersed by the overland rOste
from Gauuda 10 British Colnmbia, partly
through British, and partly through Ameri-
can territory, with view to the formation
Of new colonial settlement, the narrative
of these expeditions, drawn up BY Mr. H.
Youle Hind, who had charge Of the second
expedition, is preparing them for publiea-
ton. The winter journey Of last year
from Fort Garry to Crow Wing extended
over 500 miles Of country never before do
scribed; in many parts never previously
visited by white men, in Others only by fur
dealers or their half-breed servants. The
journey was made on dog caroles part Of
the way, in company with Lord Frederick
Cavendish, the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, and
Mr.. Dandy Seymour. The work will con

A NOVEL PRocEEDING.--A few weeks
since a clown, at st. Louis, accomplished
the rather remarkable feat of sailing down
the Mississippi river in a common wnsh-tub,
drawn by four geese. The rumor current
that such a thing would be attempted
proved sufficient to induce merchants and
others to leave their stores to see it. About
4 o'clock, P. NJ, the performer, who is a
clown attached to Spaulding & Rogers
circus, made his appearance, aaoat in the
tub, and, sure enough, there were the geesel
They promptly started down the stream,
with the tub and its freight in tow, and
were not at all frightened by the skiffs and
barges that accompanied them. Cleopa-

cited more attention. The craft landed
about q mile from the starting point, and

THEsPIs.-The Robinson family" have
been giving us series of their performances
since Monday night last, all of which have
been very respectfully attended. The en-
tertainment on Tuesday and Friday even
ings were especially well received. Mr.. ROB
INsoN as Sargeant AHSerlitz, in the dra-
matte play Of the Gross Of Gold,0 sustain
ed his part to admiration. He always ac-
quits himself creditably, but in this charac-
ter fairly Outdid himself The loud applause
which SO frequently greeted him was no
fattery to the perfection Of his performance,
whilst his lady, in the character Of TAerasa,
carried her part through with equal success.
The accomplished dansenSe, Miss SUSAN, as
Manelte, minor character in the scene,
bid fair to eclipse her mother in the ease
and grace Of all her acts AS q danxuse
she is inimitable; in her varied songs, un-
surpassed. She appears in neither without
being recalled a second time. Mr.. BEATTY
is also, on all occasions, truthful to life in
his enactments. With fine voice, clear
information, and fine pronunciation, he fairly
electri6es the audience. In everything that
partakes Of the farce or ludicrous, BURTON is
right at home. Possessing faculty of dis,
torting his countenence until it more nearly
resembles baboon than human being, he
never fails to set the house in roar of side
splitting laughter. All should go to hear
and see him and them to night, the last oI
their performance here. The bill on that
occasion will comprise the comedy of the
Maid Of Munster" to be followed by the
pantomime of the ClO,ca OHtWitted-Or
Who stole The Liquor and conclude witt
the farce of Nature and Philosophy. Il
will be sufficient to state that the "favorite'
Miss SUSAN will appear in two characters t.

TRIED AND CONVICTED. - SIMMONS, who
stood indicted at this term Of court for the
murder of SETH BULLARD, was tried on
Wednesday last, convicted of murder in
the second degree, and sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary. The first vote,
we are told, stood seven for hanging aud
FIVE for Imprisonment.
SANDERS, DOYLE and MARTIN, the young
men arrested last week for breaking in and
robbing the house Of B. O. LIPPINcorr,
principal of the Puget Sound Institute,
have been sentenced each to Is months
Imprisonment in the territorial boarding
establishment at Vancouver.
We understand that an effort will be
made to obtain pardon for SANDERS, who
is supposed by many TO be innocent of the
crime for which he has been convicted
He was not aware that be could have beer
separately tried from his companions, and
therefore suffered in this general convic
ton. They were all tried on one indict
ment found against the three.

Editor Pioneer and Democrat:
SRI am at this time in the Cascade
Mountains at the lower crossing Of Sandy

probably be here to-day, the remainder,
a train Of / Wagons, have gone by the
way Of Walla Walla, all bound for the
Sound, but they will yet have to come by
the way Of Portland. This is too bad
Our Legislature should, by all means, make
an appropriation for the opening Of road
up the Nisqually valley, to the south of
Mount Rainier, to Walla Walla. This
would open the country to the tide Of emf
grafton tending west Of the Cascades, and
will be of great benefit to all parts of the
Sound country, as well as the Walla Walla,
Gentlemen from Walla Walla say that il
this route was opened they could get their
supplies from Olympia and Steilacoom much
cheaper than by the way of the Columbia
river. Another equally as important q
road would be from Vancouver city direct
ly across the cOuAtry 10 Olympia9 Let the
Clarke county members see to this the COM

Mr. EDroR:-We have more exciting
news from the gold district, and the most
intense excitement prevails in our town.
The news was brought from Soldiers
Gulch, a branch of the WeeDatche, by Mr..
Wyckof, wh4 arrived yesterday, IA days
from Rock Greek. He left Mr.. Foster and
party prospecting on Soldiers Gulch. He
brought in some dust taken out by Mr..
Foster-some eighty cents-washed out Of
fourteen pans of dirt. Mr. Wyckof intends
to pack bis train for the Weenatche. He
also passed some new prospecting on Wee
mich Creek, also a branch Of the Wee
natche. They showed him som dust, two
specimens of which would weigh about
50 SO apiece. He states that the Gulch
pays from the top down. Several letters
received here from the party confirm the
above statements. Mr.. Wyckoff brought
about three ounces Of coarse gold from
Rock Creek, which can be seen at the
store Of Plummer & Kinds. The pack
train of Chas. Plummer is expected daily.
The Pony Express is expected in days,
when we shall have further news from the
Weenatche country and Rock Greek mines.
Nearly oil of the men employed in the mill
of Yesler, Rand & Co. left this morning
for Soldiers Gulch. A train leaves here
tomorrow for Weenatche and Rock Creek.
Since writing the above, party has ar
rived from down the Sound, bound for the
gold mines.
You shall hear more from me immediate
ly after the arrival of the Pony Express.
Your obedient servent,
L. B. ABBOTT.

THE CHILDRBN'S HOUR.


Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the dav's occupations,
That is known us the Children's Hour
| hear In the chamber above me
The paller Of little feet,
The sound Of II door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study see in the lampight,
Descending the broad hail stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing AIlcgm,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then silence;
Yet know by their merry eyes
They ARE plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall
by three doors left unguurdcd
They enter my castle wall!
They climb up into my turrct
O'cr the arms and back Of my chair;
If | try to escape, they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost dcvour me with kisses,
Their arms about me cntwne,
Till think OF the Bishop Of Bingen
lu his Mouse Tower on the Rhine!
Do yon think, O bluc-cyed baudiui,
because YOU have scaled the wall,
Such an old mpustachc us am
Is not Il match for YOU all ?
have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let YOU depart,
But put you down In the dungeons
In the round-towcr OF my heart.
And there will keep You forever,

Till the walls shall crumble to ruin,
And mUuldcr in dust away,

THE Boy THE FATHER OF THE MAN.-Sol-
omon said, many centuries ago: "Even child
is known by his doings whether his work be
pure, or whether it be right"
Some people seem to think that children
have no character at all. On the contrary, an
observing eye sees in these young creatures
the signs of what they are likely to be for life.
Whan I saa hoy in haste to spend every
penny as soon as he gets it, | think it sign
that he will be spendthrift.
When | see boy boarding up pennies and
unwilling to part with them for any good pur-
pose, think it a sign he will be miser
When | see boy or a girl always looking
out for him or herself and disking to share
good things with others, think it is sign
that the child will grow up very selfish per-
son.
When l see boys and girls often quarreling,
l think it a sign that they will be violent and
hateful men and women.
When | see little boy willing to taste strong
drink, think it sign that he will be "a drunk
ard.
When l see a boy who never attends to the
services of religion, thing it a sign that he
will be profane and prohigate man.
When | see a child obedient to his parents,
think it sign of great future blessing from his
Heavenly Parent.
And though great changes sometimes take
place in the character, yet, as general rule,
these signs do not fail.-LVe Illustrated.
