lately, no regular correspondent here, ven
ture to arm myself with grey goose quill, "
and to attempt the furnishing Of few Pla-
cerville items, which may or may not be
considered of sufficient Importance for publ

business, but as soon as Spring once opens,

The road leading to Walla Walla, has been
DISTRACTED within the last few days by several

considerable labor and some time to remove.
No serious injury to life, or limb, or property
has yet occurred by reason of the slides, but
danger is imminent in the deep cations, and
much vigilance is required in looking out
for, and guarding against possible damage
in this way.
