scomb, Superintendent of the Lincoln Mill at Owy-
hee, gave us call on Thursday. Mr.. Balscomb
has returned to his home. Capt. Walker will re-
mainn Idaho City for few days. The Captain
has made good reputation as an Indian fighter.

try during the Winter effected more in cleaning
out the Snakes than any attempt yet made in that
quarter. He will probably take the field again

week so utterly barren of all local matter of pub
lie interest as the past week. Life has run as
smooth as a summer sea. Everybody is at work,
and too busy to kick up row for the benefit of
newspapers. The Courts have done but little, no,
body has died or got married for our benefit, no
accidents have occurred, and not even dog fight
of respectable dimensions has interrupted the uni.

something happening. g. a.sls.

serious inport requiring prompt action and make
suggestions ul4ted, in my opinion to advance
cause and render efficient in carrying out the
final object of our organization.
The recent unfortunate events that have ranspired in
the Atlantic States in connection with the Fenian
ment renders it necessary that concerted action
should be taken by to maintain harmony and UNITY
and that in the future the past the credit may at
least be Of standing in unbroken ranks duced
by clanish cries the ntrges of faction For this sim
pie Ihave called you together that may take
counsel upon this unhappy of affairs and remedy
far possible, the msfortunes that have fallen upon
our cause.
You are also convened that you may select from among
your number State Centre and Council who shall have
the entire control of the organization and who may act
at any moment and upon any emergency this being in
conformity with the usageS and powers of each State or
District in the United States.
would therefore urge you to select your most ntelli
gent tried and trusted men to act and represent you
State Centre and Council, for the ensuing year.
would respectfully call your attention the follow
ing rules which should be faithfully followed bv each
Circle hereafter: 1st. Each Circle in the District will
send to the State Centre monthly returns the day
of each month"; that he may be able to lay before the
Council clear statement of each Circles standing on
the last day Of every month.

1t will be observed that the above rules but ret

would also call attention to the necessity of en-
forcing strict regular meetings
to order and decorum at meetings.; faithful observ-
ance of your By and of the Constitutions and to

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.

From a correspondent we learn that on the
25th ult, at Shenandoah Mountain, near the Big
Calf-pasture River, in this county, Elizabeth,
aged years and months. daughter of George
Thorpe Tor Tharpe) lost her life under the follow
ing distressing circumstances
The mother of the children being dead and the
father having absented himself from Friday, the
23d, to SUNDAY evening, the 25th, this child and
her sister, II years of age were left alone to shift
for themselves for that length of time. Whilst
engaged in dragging some nails from the fire with
@ stick, the clothes of the, child took fire. She
ran out of the shantie and ran into brook near
by to quench the fames but she was so badly
burned that she died within twenty-four hours.
Miss Margaret Deverick, on her way from across
the mountain to Jennings Gap, stopped there
and found the burnt child before the fire in ex-
:reme suffering She Immediately ran to the
house of Mr. j. S. Cross distance of three miles,
and informed Mr.. Cross, who went for and took
the child to his house, where death put an end to
the sufferings of the poor little unfortunate. we
have not the space to publish the just comments
of our correspondent on the inexcusable conduct
of the father in leaving such little girls for such
length of time by themselves.

ATTEMPT TO BURN THE JAIL.

At 2 clock on last Friday morning it was dis
covered, from the quantity of smoke pervading
the Jail, that some portion of the building was on
fire. The alarm was given, and members of the
Fire Company and others were assembled, when,
upon examination, it was discovered that hole
had been burned through the floor of the cell in
which Martin III. Lofts was confined 1t will be
remembered that, at the last term of the County
Court he had his examining trial, Charged with
the offence of stealing -four from Mrs. Steele
mill. and was sent for trial at the next term
of the Circuit Court in June next On Saturday,
being charged with an attempt to burn the Jail,
he had a trial before Justice III. III. Peck, and
sent on for trial before the next County Court
The sleepers under the floor of the CELL II inches
thick, were burned through, and the fire falling
through burned the floor of the dining room be-
neath. When the door was opened Lofts had
nearly been suffocated to death with the smoke.
We would suggest to the County Court the pro-
priety of making provision to have the cells of
the Jail heated by furnace which would obviate
the necessity of having any fire in the cells, and
would be perfectly SAFE
