FIxyDIsH AFFAIR.-On last Saturday
afternoon one of Mr.. CORVALLIS chill
dren brought from the ~woodpile n piece
of wood about one foot in length and
three inches square, which from certain
appearances created suspicion. Upon
closer examination it was found to be n
specics of Internal machine, the chunk
being followed ont and filled with n
cartridge containing about q pound Of
powder mixed with bullets, ~buckshot,
slurs and other missiles. 1t is sup
posed, from the appearance OF the mis-
sile, that it was tho original intention
Of the would.be assassins who contrivcd
the machine to have placed it under the
house, and by means Of a fuse attached
to it, had it explode beneath the I'M
suGpecting inmates. On the night be-
fore il was found Mrs. Cornwall became
alarmed by some movement near the
house, and her husband Immediately
commenced q search Of the premises.
1t is supposed that the noise she heard
WAS tho stealthy step of the villains,
who, being thus foiled in their neftrious
design, beat n hasty retreat, throwing
thir instrument of destruction into the
woodpilo. We were shown the block,
the cartridge, powder md balls, which
arc now in the possession Of officer
Knowles, who has his suspicious of who
the villains are, and We trust will soon
bring them to justice.-FetalHma Jour-
nal and Argus, March 1871.

A SINGULAR sE.-The Marysvillo

A SINGULAR CASE. The Marysyillc
Appeal of last Friday has the following /:
We were told, n few days ago, of n
singular case of domestic infdelity,
which lately occurred in one Of the min
ing camps of the foothills Of this county.
Some years ago Il gentleman made II
visit to his friends in the Enst, and
while there fell in love and married on
short courtship a young lady seventeen
years of age. The couple soon after
returned to this county, and the fruits
of their married life are four children,
the youngest of tender age. Until a
short time since, the man and wife have
enjoyed that usual degree of domestic
felicity allowed TO sinful creatures"
Lately, however, n change came over
the spirit of the wife and mother. She
suddenly ascsrtainedl that her heart was
another's, and had never been her doting
and loving husbands, She unbosomed
her secret to her lawful lord, telling him
frankly that she loved him not, and that
her soul aspired to embrace another man
gentleman Lying in the neighbor-
hood. The husband heard his wife's
petition with Christian forbearance, and
though deeply attached to her, very
calmly consented to the separation
telling her to 60 if she would, but if she
over needed pecuuiary aid or felt n de-
sire to return, no should be the first 10
be applied to. The unfaithful wife
accepted these conditions, and took up
her bed and walked. We did not learn
what disposition was made of the chill
dren. Considering all the circumstances
the public will consider this the coolest
conjugal transaction, on both sides,
transporting for some time. The popular
verdict will be, that tho affectionate
husband deserved n better wife.

shady Side Of White pins.

A correspondent Samuel P. Duzan)
Of the Tidal Wave, published at Silver
City, Idaho, writes from Treasure City,
under date of March 18th, as follows:
According to promise, l take q no.
ment to write you q few lines from this
point-thc famous Poorman's Paradise.
A great many people are here, aud from
all points of the compass, and the rush
and confusion in the streets is full as
great as anything l have ever seen in
new mining towns. Hamilton, the ter
minus of all the stage lines, is at the
foot Of Treasure Hill, and is said to be
the largest Of q dozen or two aspiring
towns in the district; but Treasure, I
think, will soon lead it. Building is
going on rapidly in both towns; how.
ever lumber is from $500 to $500 per
NJ, and cannot be had at any price as
fast as the demand. Town lots range
from $500 to $4,000, and about twenty
square miles of the district is staked Off
and fenced with bull-hide. AS to the
mines, my judgment is not worth a con-
tinental, for the ore is essentially differ
ent from anything I have ever seen, and
seems to occur in masses instead Of
lodges. On Chloride Flat, Il space of
ground containing ten or fifteen acres,
more or loss, they dig a hole anywhere
and find rich ore, and the whole flnt Is
covered with claims ut least ten feet
deep, and it is literally h~oney.combed
with holes, each representing n different
claim, and each claim representing 200
feet. In fact there is no chance of
locating on Treasure Hill anywhere with

fifteen to Eve hundred notices ahead Of

here, exclusive of whisky and other
things, and tho hombro who called this

SUDDEN DEATn.-Ycsterday morning
II man died quite suddenly at No. 10
Market street, between Third and Fourth.
lie took lodgings there On the It'll in
slant, but after staying there n few dnys
be left and came back again saying, if
the landlord would give him n harder
bod he would stay with him for n week.
Finding one to suit him, he engaged
and paid for it. About nine O'Clock,
night before last, he went to bed ms
usual. In the morning tho proprietor
was called by the ringing Of the bell,
when he was requested by the lodgcr to
send for n doctor. Doctor p. Chamber
lain was summoned and came immediate
ly. On arriving, he found the man
sitting in n chair, with his hend bent
forward on the bed ; on raising him to
a sitting posture he discovered that the
pulse had ceased to beat, though the
mau gasped once or twice after being
raised up and laid On the bed. From
some paper, or prescription on n drug
gist's bottle, it appears that his namo
was William Ryder. Ho was apparently
about forty or forty-fvc years old. The
body was removed to the d~ead-house,
where it awaits recoguition.-S. T..

CoMrOUSp ISrERBsr.-A statement is
at present being widely circulated in
the newspapers that a lady who, 50
years ago, had entrusted the SUN of S22
TO n Savings Bank in the interior OF
New York, and had forgotten the trans
action, remembered recently the fact of
the deposit, and to her surprise discov-
cred that she was entitled to S723.
This anecdote 10 an illustration Of the
carelessness with which wonderful
stories are repeated. Though the a Y
ings effected by adding interest to prin-
cipal is astonishing, yet the report that
in s. years n sum Of money increased
80 fold, is not entitled TO belief. Still
it passes unquestioncd, from the adroit-
ness with which the minute particu-
lars Of IL cents are introduced, giving
the story the appearance of an actual
transaction. A loan will double itself
in about Il years, at FIVE per cent. in
terest, compounded yearly, and in IL
years, at six per cent, compounded
yearly. Savings Banks do not pay
such high rates rs these, and it would
REQUIRE 10 per cent. interest, compound
ed semi.annually, to produce the enor
nous increase mentioned. The de-
post, il the incident really occurred,
was probably SEQ, at three and a half
per cent.

No ScHooLs.-The late message OF
the acting Governor Of Utah to the
Territorial Legislature develops the
fact that not q single free school exists
throughout the whole dominion OF
Brigham Young. Aa Act providing for
the establishment and support of n
system of education was approved, but
unfortunately the first section of tho
law left it to the option Of the inhnbit-
ants Of the different districts, whether
they should or not give effect to the
plan, and the result has been universal
rejection. Thus we perceive that all
modes of slavery, of which polygamy is
one, are opposed to elevsting the masses
Of the people in the scale Of intelli-
gence. This is the best kind of eri-
dcncc that Mormonism comprehends
secretly its vulnerability and iniqui,y,
aud hence fears to let in upon itself the
light Of education.

IY DIsPuTE.-The San Francisco
telegram to this mornings Enterprise
says that B. F. Moses, of Virginia City,
is endcavorIng to obtain possession OF
Lizzie Moses, an infant illegitim"te
child, adopted by him in February,
1865. The mother of the child, Ape
line Rowland, abandoned it upon the
steps Of a citizen shortly after it was
born, where it was found. Moses dis
covered the mother, and with her con-
sent adopted the child, and has had
possession of it until n week ago, when
the mother who has since married, got
possession Of it and fed to this city. y
writ Of habeas corpus has been issued,
but so far the Sheriff has not been able
to find tho whereabouts Of the parties

A LEGAL DEcIsroy.-A verdict was
lately rendered by q Brooklyn jury
against the Erie Railway Company that
will be of advantage to all the railroad
travellers in tho United States. One Of
the victims Of the horrible accident
which occurred on the Eric line at
Cars Rock, ten months ago, sued the
Company for SlOO,OOO damages. The
Company offered to allow him to take
Judgment for the sum of $4,000 and
costs, but he refused to ncccde to the
offer; and upon the trial before tho
Supreme Court, the jury found for the
plaintiff and assessed his damages at
$35 900. This is an awful and a timely
warning to the railroad companies. 1t
will do more to make them careful OF
the lives of their passengers than ten
thousand newspaper articles. We sup
pose the other passengers who were
injured at the same accident will now
follow suit and recover damages.
