ing of Dr. L. Goodwin, at the corner of
Main and First streets, designed to be
used as drug store. Coming down
Main street, we notice a number of new
firms, among whom we notice our old
friends, the Jacobson Brothers, who
have cast in their lot with us, and now
occupy the old stand ofN. L E. Brown,
where they have fne stock of goods.
Crossing the street, we have the new
firm of Kimball L Day, who are largely
engaged in the dry goods and general
merchandising business. Mr.. Day is an
old Acquaintance, and we glad BY well
come him and his partner to a share in
the general prosperity. In the same block
the two>story 6re-proof brick building is
of Mr.. o. Brechtel, the finest structure
east of the mountains, and building
that would show-Well by comparison
anywhere. We are glad to see Mr.. B..
in his new and magnificent quarters,
and trust that be may live long to enjoy
the fruits of bis industry. Passing on
down Main street, we bave the new
building, put up by Mr.. Scholl, the
butcher, aud occupied by Deuahy & Co.,
as a 6rst,elsss restaurant. Still further
down Main street, and next door below
Jordan / Co., J. N Garden has just
put up handsome frame building which
be designs to occupy as saloon. Cross
ing Main street, and 10 the next block
below, we have Joseph's beW Brewery
which is just completed aud will be
turning out beer between this and
ChristnaI. On the line Of Aldsr street,
aud fronting the Catholic Church, Mr..
n. Cosgrove, has erected a handsome
dwelling, which iS completed with all
the latest eOnVenienees, and wears the

WALLA WALLA TOBACCO. - Mr.. A
Lafevre has left at this Office a specimen
Of tobacco, grown on the Walla Walla,
about ten miles below town. The leaf
is very fine, and we judge would make
sxcellaut casing far cigars. In this
respect we think it fully equal to the
famous Connecticut seed leaf Mr.. L.
during the last season raised about
1900 pounds of the weed, which be is
manufacturing into plug tobacco. We
believe this is the first attempt made on
any considerable scale to cultivate to,
bacco in this Valley, and the result is
eminently encouraging.

THE OCEAN MAIL SERvfoE.-The difficulty
between tho Post Office Department and the
steamers that have hitherto carried letters can
scarcely prove any impeachment to commerce
if the views taken by Mr.. Crcswell are ccr-
rect. The Postmaster General says that let
ters receive no more care on shipboard than
first class freight. First class freight is paid
for at ten dollars ton, and the letters, even
at the reduced rates, pay the steamers over
two thousand dollars per ton. Why not send
the letters by any steamer as first class freight?
Ia not all the excess beyond the price OF
freight subsidy? Our postal department prof
fers an ample price for this mail service, even
at the reduced rates; but it Is only natural
that the steamship companies object TO the
reduction Of rates. We hope however, II the
government is to pay in the future an enormous
price for letters in the way of subsidy, that
subsidy may be paid to an American line of
steamers.

Tag BRlsToI. THEATRE DISASTER panic
last Monday night in the theatre at Bristol,
England, caused the death Of eighteen per-
sons and sericns, perhaps fatal, injury to many
more. This sad occurrence shouid lead imme-
diately to redoubled precautions against the
possibility Of similar disasters in the theatres
of New York. We are glad to be assured that
the utmost pains are taken at Wallack's, at
Niblo's, at Booths and at the Grand Opera
against The danger of accidental fire. But at
all the theatres in town such precautions should
be made, aud especially the facilities for safe
egress in case Of q panic should be multiplied.
II ought to be remembered, Moreover, that
fright is even more perilous than fire, and that
when either false or a real alarm is given the
most prudent thing for an audience Is TO keep
their self-possession and, usually, their seats.

Urn STATE PRISON SYsTEM--The report of
the State Prison Association presents good
case for Legislative work this coming session.
The disgraceful facts disclosed by these gem
t!emen should have been acted upon by the last
Legislature, and probably would have been
had the State Prison Committee Of the House
been an efficient one. Governor Hoffman sent
special message to the Assembly upon the
condition OF the State prisons, recommending
the building Of a ncwprison on the reformatory
plan, but no matured action was had upon ii.
The great grievance Ia our State Prison system
appears to be want of room for the proper
accommodation and the enforcement of disci-
pline among the convicts. From these causes
arose the frequent 6meutes at Auburn, Sing
Sing and Clinton sometimes resulting fatally
to keepers and convicts. The Governor will
no doubt recommend some remedy in bis forth
coming message, and II Is TO be hoped that the
Legislature viii give immediate attention to

A WINTER REopENINa IN THE HuDsos.-
One of the most curious freaks of the present
weather is the unusual reopening of naviga-
ton on the Hudson. Two weeks ago there
was an ice blockade all the way north Of
Poughkcepsie. The usual travel was stopped.
Ferryboats were laid up for the winter and
numerous canal boats and small craft were
firmly bound, without any prospect of escape
until next April or May. Now all this is
changed. The blockade is broken. Ferryboats
ore running again aud some of the regular
lines of steamboats, have actually resumed
their trips on short routes. This is the most
extraordinary freak the Hudson has played
since the days Of its discoverer.

which we present in another column, 10 proba-
bly, the most interesting chapter In the book.
To elaborate the horrible mess that she gave
before Is simply disgusting; but In her intro
ductory chapter she reiterates her faith in the
truth Of the story and promises to prove her
assertions. She says that she did not read In
full the abusive articles about her, but had
friends to Gull and prepare them for her. The
storm exceeded her expectations and surprised
her the moro coming from her countrymen,
with whom, she says, above all others, the
cause OF woman was safe aud sacred.

The French Ministry.

The news adyices from the Old World
which we publish to-day arc Of considerable
interest and in many respects important. The
reports reach US by cable kilograms conveying
reflex Of the situation as il presented last
evening.
Napoleons change Of Ministry in Paris
appears, from the first named source, pretty
much in the light of an executive shuttle,
undertaken and carried out in very
adroit manner, with tho view of disoom-
fitting his political opponents by demonstrating
their inability, orRt least their want OF prepara-
ton, to undertake the duties and official bur-
dens which ensue from Cabinet responsibility.
Two of the most prominent members Of the
legislative party of the Lett Centre refused to
serve in the new ministry. The Premier
expectant, NJ. Olivier, then fell back on the
right centre, but, as is alleged, was equally
proper personages for this very high
trust association, two gentlemen of
lead in that wing declining the
proffered portfolios. In this dilemma the
Emperor, who may have become timid of
ruling alone-s rather extreme probability
''sent for" his old executive, NM. Magne,
Lebouef and Rignault, who viii retain their
positions of the Departments of Finance, War
and Marine. NJ. Rouher is named President
of the Senate. There may remain some little
diluted and sugared ''pap" for the radicals;
but, with the above named portfolios in friendly
hands hi, Majesty is likely to ''be Vicar Of
Bray" or, as our democratic friends in New
York term it, at the ''top of the heap a little
longer.
