LAWS OF IDAHo.-Tho Statutes of this Ter

LAWS OF IDAHo.-The Statutes of this Ter
ritory, now nearly one yearold, have at length
arrived in printed form. Chris Highly, of
Highly Britten, PIacervilIe, has had the
kindness to make US present of a copy. 1t
is a very convenient volume in a printing
Office, and we value it highly. The officers
of this county have even more use for them
than the printer has, and are entitled to them
by law, and yet none have been furnished, so
that if they have them at all they baveto buy
them. It is high time they were distributed
as the Legislature will soon convene again,
and ere they are fairly read through, such
changes may be made as to render them com
paratiyely useless. Highly 4 Britten of Pla-
cerVille, and Vantine & EisIer of Idaho, have
them for sale at $40 per copy in coin, or its
equivalent.

KooTENA1.-Mr. Thos. Adams. we'll known
to responsible gentlemen in this city as a
man of sterling integrity, energy and indus
try, practical miner of several years expert
ence, arrived in town on Thursday last direct
from the Kootenai mines, and from him we
gather substantially the following facts The
only discoveries worthy of any attention
whatever, have been made on Wild Horse
creek, where from four to six companies in a
district extending only four miles up and
down the creek, are doing frst-rate-making
big wages. Outside of these, companies and
these claims, the country is an absolute hum
bug-a perfect "bilk." Mr. A. was obliged
to dispose of such goods as he possessed and
had taken up there as mining outfit, for 10
per cent. less than they cost in order to raise
money to bring him back here. Those who
leave $40, S., or even S. diggings to go to
Kootenai, do so only to be disappointed, and
after whole season, and all the money they
have been able to save out of year or two's
work, expended, to find their way back as best
they can, wiser and poorer men.

THE CAMPAIGN 0PESED.-On last Saturday
evening the frat gun was fred by the Union
party, in the streets of this city. A large
crowd collected, pursuant to notice, in Main
street near the corner of Wall. The meeting
was called to order by Jacob David, Esq, and
presided over by Dr. J.B Tibbetts. Hon. S. G.
Parks was first introduced and spoke at some
length touching the war, its causes, the action
of different political parties and statesmen iu
the premises, etc., etc. The Judge Endorsed
the administration of Abraham Lincoln, said
he had been the warm personal and political
friend of Lincoln for more than twenty years,
and knew the good qualities Of the man who
had been President little over three years
and would be President little over four
years longer. The other speakers were DR..
J. A. Raymond, Sheriff Sumner Pinkham,
Hon. Geo. WOOdman, Hon. Joseph Miller,
N. J. Gilkey, Esq, Justice Charles Walker,
and E. F. Gray, Esq. An over-weaning de.
sire to see Mrs. Hayneas Blanca, in Fazio,
led US to the theater, Notwithstanding an in
;lnation to hear the speeches, hence the
anxious public will have to.imagine the tenor
IF each discourse, which we are assured was
patriotic and loyal.

THEATRIcAL.-The interest in Mrs. Haynes
histrionic representations, which at first APP
peared to be marked by Indifference, is nightly
growing warmer and more intense. People
are becoming enlisted in sympathy with her
in her presentations, and what was at first
mere idle curiosity to see and hear person Of
her fame and renowu, has grown into actual
appreciative interest in the drama, and the
consequence is the house is filed with inteli-
gent and well behaved people. On the Occa-
sions of the rendition IF Leah" Isabel in
1" East Lynne" Blanca in Fazio, Mrs Hal
ler Pauline, and some others, we observed
moisture in eyes unused to tears, and many a
man who considered it womanish and unman-
" to weep, suddenly discovered that he had
taken cold and had especial and frequent use
for his handkerchief Had it not been for the
balks of those who had undertaken to play
servants in East Lynne, the interest would
have been much greater, the effect much bet
ter, and many person of correct dramatical
taste that was thrown out and confused by
these stammerings, would otherwise have
enjoyed full measure of the inspiration that
the artistic breathed B. S. Mortimer, as Sir
Francis Leyison, played his part to per
lection in feeding the jealousy of Lady Isabel
and turning her head and heart away from
her husband. Hope there were no Francis
LeVisons in the audience Speaking of the
play of Leah the Forsaken, we are reminded
by one who ought to know, that the Jews
never interlock their fingers to express sad
ness, but always lay the palms Of their hands
together. Father Abraham acted not like
he Children of Israel in this respect on
Wednesday evening. Moreover, if the bar
oering tailor " followed copy" the author
must have been at fault in ascribing to Frank
ort the coinage of the thaler.

ARRIVAL OF Hon. W. II. WALLACE.-Ex-
Governor Wallace, Delegate to Congress from
Idaho, arrived here with his lady from Port
land on Monday last. The Col. is direct from
Washington, having left there soon after the
adjournment of Congress, and is now stop
ming at the Poujade House, The cares of
state seem not to have worn heavily on his
constitution, ON the contrary, his health and
spirits appear to be most 0uOyant, and he
already has the harness on to fight through
another campaign. Whether it is his inten-
ton to take the stump for the nominee of the
Packer John convention or not, has not yet
transpired, but we presume that is his pur-
pose.

upright, true-hearted gentleman, whose
death was one of the heaviest Affections
that this war has brought upon the State
of New York, made his viii before enter
ing the service, and from it the Buffalo
Courier takes the following passage:
Feeling to its full extent the probability that
I may not return from the path of duty on
which have entered-if it pleases God that it
be SOL can say with truth that have entered
on the career Of danger with no ambitious as.
pirations nor with the idea that am fitted by
nature or experience to be of any important
service to the government, but in obedience to
the call Of duty demanding every citizen to
contribute what he could In means, labor or
life to sustain the government of his country
sacrifice made, too, the more willingly by me
when I consider how singularly benefited
have been by the institutions of this land, and
that up to this time, all the blessings of life
have been showered upon me beyond what
usually falls to the lot of man. =. i''.

q Singular History.

The New York Herald gives the follow
ing brief biography, the principal facts of
which are familiar to most Buffalonians:
In the year 1886, the city of Buffalo, N Y,
contained among its population citizen of in
defatigable industry and untiring enterprise.
Whole blocks of capacious warehouses were
erected by him. new streets were laid out,
graded, paved and lighted on his recommends
ton and with his assistance; and no public nm.
dertaking was considered sure of success with
out the sanction and aid of this public spirited
citizen. The crash of 1887 came and 1t caused
him to totter. To sustain his credit few DAYS,
in an evil hour he committed q deed which
consigned him to the state prison. Pardoned
out, and no ineradicable stigma save that in.
separable from misfortune attaching to his
name he came to New York city and started
the hotel business at the, corner of Broadway
and CORTLAND street Falling In this. he went
to ''Long Islands sea girr shore, " and took the
Bath House. summer establishment. Soon
disguised with his i'll luck there, he left this
region Of civilization altogether and sought
the solitude of West Virginia Is O place of
quiet and rest for the remainder of his DAYS,
He settled In what has proved to be the heart
of the West Virginia oil region-and now this
unfortunate yet lucky, this untiring and ire
pressible man, concludes this strange, eventful
history by leaving his heirs 4 fortune valued a.
$3, 600 900. He bore the wen known name Of
Rathbun. ,'5s-Jil 52atl al
